Moon of Alabama, Zelenski Ends Independence Of Anti-Corruption Institutions
Last Friday I reported about a fight between the Zelenski regime on the one side and some oligarchs and U.S. aligned non-government-organizations on the other side.
An intense information operation has been launched to remove Ukraine's (former) President Vladimir Zelenski from office. Behind it are a cabal of Ukrainian opposition figures in coordination which western media and parts of the Trump administration.
The current campaign follows a earlier one which was directed against Zelenski's main advisor and head of the office of the president Andrei Yermak.
Pieces in western media had attacked the Zelenski regime with accusations that it was seeking control over the independent anti-corruption institutions which had been established after the Maidan coup. Anti-corruption investigation had lately been moving in on some persons near to Zelenski himself...
..In most countries one will find on vertical judicial construct in the form of the police doing criminal investigations, prosecutors directing the police while building court cases against perpetrators and a hierarchy of courts to judge about those.
After the U.S. directed Maidan coup in 2014 the U.S. government, in form of then Vice-President Joe Biden, set out to gain complete control over Ukraine. It insisted on creating a second, completely separate legal vertical in Ukraine focused solely upon corruption...

..The National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) investigates cases of corruption especially of officials in higher position. The Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor Office (SAPO) assembled cases to go to court. The High Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine is judging over them.
The vertical was designed to be independent of the Ukrainian government and state. A special Civil Oversight Council - not the parliament - is nominally in control of it. But the effective control was always with the U.S. embassy in Kiev...

..Last week's public-relation attack by the opposition against Zelenski, via the Financial Times and other media, was supposed to gain it support from U.S. and European governments. However throughout the weekend no western support in form of public statements etc was received. The Zelenski regime interpreted this as a green light to take down the last institution in Ukraine which is not under its direct control. On Monday it launched its all out assault. https://www.moonofalabama.org/2025/07/ukraine-zelenski-ends-independence-of-anti-corruption-institutions.html#more
Zelensky eliminated his Biden/EU controllers just before negotiations with Russia: Simplicius, Echoes of Maidan Mark Zelensky's Sudden Fall from Grace
It appears rumors of Trump’s flushing of Zelensky may have had something to them, as tonight the knives have come out for Zelensky and his gang. What started as gripes against push back on some irrelevant NGO-run organs has turned into a fledgling ‘Maidan’ against the now unfavored Ukrainian leader.....Most eye-opening about the fall from grace is how boldly the chosen actors are playing their lines, pearl-clutching about some imagined ‘repressions’ of a pair of organizations virtually no one has heard of or cared about until a few days ago, in this case NABU (National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine) and SAPO (Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office)...
..In short: Some believe the anti-corruption organizations finally got their marching orders from above to target Zelensky’s coterie by digging up “dirt” on them, presumably to initiate the process to eventually remove Ze from power, or at least begin putting major pressure on him as an implied threat to toe the line.
Sensing the plan, Zelensky moved to preemptively begin hamstringing the corruption watchdogs. He arrested the ‘head of detectives’ at NABU under the trumped-up suspicion of spying for Russia, not long before submitting the bill to the Rada to effect a ‘hostile takeover’ of these “independent” organizations, putting them under total state control.
The formation of these institutions was demanded as part of mandatory “reforms” by the EU for Ukraine’s eligibility for accession into the bloc; this is for a reason. Like NGOs, such organizations are designed by the establishment to serve as levers of power, control, and leverage working “independently” away from elected government—which in actuality means they are unaccountable and unelected. This is in strict accordance with the elites’ classic blueprint for subverting governments and taking power away from the people, no different to the “federal” reserve system that was foisted on the world without any real debate.
This is just the latest replay of the Biden scandal, wherein he openly bragged about eliminating chief prosecutor Victor Shokin who had dared to investigate Burisma and Hunter Biden’s shady dealings in Ukraine. The excuse given then was also that Shokin had “failed to properly investigate corruption”, which is the establishment’s favored MO each time they need an inconvenient pest removed. Fancy beau ideals like ‘reform’ and ‘corruption’ are eaten up by the hoi polloi like a steamy batch of protest brownies.
Even back in his seminal speech of February 22, 2022, Putin had exposed these very organizations like NABU as being run out of the US embassy in Kiev:
“The US Embassy in Ukraine directly controls NABU and SAPO.” — Vladimir Putin, Feb 22, 2022
The other thing Putin is referring to above confirms what I just wrote about unelected bodies. When you dig into how these organizations are run, and how their key players are appointed, you find that the process is controlled by a commission of European “specialists”. Ukrainians are also on the board, but the Europeans have the overriding vote...
..This is why Zelensky’s head of the SBU Vasyl Maliuk today denied the organizations were being ‘abolished’, but rather, they were being returned to their constitutional mandates...

..Not that there’s any “good guy” in this, but you can’t deny that Zelensky’s moves are in effect correct, despite being for obviously ulterior reasons. https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/echoes-of-maidan-mark-zelenskys-sudden

In an attempt to placate protesters, Zelenskyy changed course on Thursday by saying a new anti-graft bill would be brought before parliament later that day.The president claimed in a Telegram post that the draft bill “guarantees the real strengthening of the law and order system in Ukraine” and the “independence of anti-corruption bodies”.
“It is important that we maintain unity,” Zelenskyy added.

Iran condemned the UN Security Council on Tuesday for what it called its persistent failure to respond to “blatant acts of aggression” against the sovereignty of independent states, Anadolu reports.
The UN Security Council “has either been unable or unwilling to respond appropriately and resolutely to blatant acts of aggression against the national sovereignty of certain states,” Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said in a speech to the council.
He cited “military occupations, genocide, economic blockades, and the sponsorship of state terrorism” as examples of the council’s failure.
On June 13, Israel launched a 12-day offensive on Iran, targeting military, nuclear, and civilian sites, as well as senior military commanders and leading scientists.
Tehran retaliated with missile and drone strikes on Israeli military and intelligence facilities. The US also bombed three Iranian nuclear sites, and later announced a ceasefire on June 24.
Gharibabadi said the Israeli assault left 1,100 people dead, including 132 women, 45 children, and 26 medical personnel. https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20250722-iran-slams-un-security-council-for-inaction-to-blatant-acts-of-aggression-on-national-sovereignty/

Kremlin Doctrine Shifts: Every Western Move Now Risks a Thermonuclear Response
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov delivered the signal loud and clear: Russia’s nuclear doctrine is not just intact — it’s operational. The recent U.S. decision to greenlight arms sales to Ukraine via European NATO states, announced by Donald Trump, has ignited deep fears in Moscow.
What Western media won’t tell you is that Russia has redefined its doctrine. According to that doctrine, any aggression against Russia or its allies — even by non-nuclear states — can now be interpreted as a direct act of war if supported by a nuclear power. That means any NATO-backed operation inside Ukraine that targets Russian forces — or even territory Russia claims as its own — could be seen as justification for a nuclear first strike.
This isn’t theory. It’s written policy.
Russia’s nuclear playbook was rewritten in 2023 to explicitly allow the use of nuclear weapons not only in response to WMDs or threats to the state’s existence, but also in the case of large-scale conventional attacks — especially those supported by NATO powers.
That’s you, America. That’s Europe.
And let us be clear: Ukraine, now armed with U.S. long-range strike weapons, is openly discussing hitting Russian soil. The Kremlin no longer sees this as a distant threat. They see it as an ongoing, real-time escalation — one that justifies nuclear retaliation under their revised rules of engagement. https://opposezones.com/war-and-conflict/total-nuclear-war-5580-nukes-on-standby-russia/

The occupied Palestinian territory today is a hellscape. In Gaza, Israel has dismantled even the last UN function—humanitarian aid—in order to deliberately starve, displace time and again, or kill a population they have marked for elimination. In the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, ethnic cleansing advances through unlawful siege, mass displacement, extrajudicial killings, arbitrary detention, widespread torture. Across all areas under Israeli rule, Palestinians live under the terror of annihilation, broadcast in real time to a watching world. The very few Israeli people who stand against genocide, occupation, and apartheid—while the majority openly cheers and calls for more—remind us that Israeli liberation, too, is inseparable from Palestinian freedom.
The atrocities of the past 21 months are not a sudden aberration; they are the culmination of decades of policies to displace and replace the Palestinian people.
Against this backdrop, it is inconceivable that political forums, from Brussels to NY, are still debating recognition of the State of Palestine—not because it’s unimportant, but because for 35 years states have stalled, refused recognition, pretending to “invest in the PA” while abandoning the Palestinian people to Israel’s relentless, rapacious territorial ambitions and unspeakable crimes. Meanwhile political discourse has reduced Palestine to a humanitarian crisis to manage in perpetuity rather than a political issue demanding principled and firm resolution: end permanent occupation, apartheid and today genocide. https://scheerpost.com/2025/07/20/francesca-albanese-a-revolutionary-shift-is-underway/

Turkey's Defense Ministry announced on Wednesday that it will provide military assistance to Syria to help "combat terrorism". But the reality is that Turkey had long opened a 'jihadi highway' throughout years of the Syrian proxy war which helped cement the rise of ISIS and Syria becoming a hotbed of foreign fighters...
..President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has recently pledged that Turkey's military will "not allow terrorists to drag Syria back into chaos and instability." Turkey has long occupied portions of northern Syria, precisely where terrorists have operated and conducted mass killings - particularly targeting Kurds and minority groups like Christians and Alawites.
Regarding recent sectarian killings and unrest in Suwayda province and Israel’s intensified strikes on Damascus, Turkish officials warned that these actions have exacerbated tensions between Druze groups and the Syrian government. But it is the HTS Syrian government which have committed the bulk of atrocities carried out against Druze civilians and even clerics.
In the north, there's currently a deal underway for the Kurdish YPG - affiliated with the outlawed PKK - to lay down its arms, which it has been resistant to.
At the same time there's a Pentagon presence in northern Syria and in the east, and the occupation shows no signs of withdrawing.

Can they get rid of the Fed? Kennedy intended to... Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Demands Sweeping Review of Entire Federal Reserve
It’s Official: Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell Criminally Referred to the Justice Department for Prosecution
..President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has recently pledged that Turkey's military will "not allow terrorists to drag Syria back into chaos and instability." Turkey has long occupied portions of northern Syria, precisely where terrorists have operated and conducted mass killings - particularly targeting Kurds and minority groups like Christians and Alawites.
Regarding recent sectarian killings and unrest in Suwayda province and Israel’s intensified strikes on Damascus, Turkish officials warned that these actions have exacerbated tensions between Druze groups and the Syrian government. But it is the HTS Syrian government which have committed the bulk of atrocities carried out against Druze civilians and even clerics.
In the north, there's currently a deal underway for the Kurdish YPG - affiliated with the outlawed PKK - to lay down its arms, which it has been resistant to.
At the same time there's a Pentagon presence in northern Syria and in the east, and the occupation shows no signs of withdrawing.
Saudi Arabia too is eyeing greater participation in the supposedly 'new Syria' - now that Assad has exited. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/turkey-commits-military-support-new-post-assad-syria-saudis-pledging-4bn-investment

A federal judge on Wednesday denied a Department of Justice request to unseal grand jury transcripts related to a mid-2000s criminal investigation into sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
Earlier this month, the Department of Justice (DOJ) petitioned a federal court in Florida to release the transcripts of testimony from witnesses who appeared before a grand jury in the first case against Epstein.
In a 12-page order on July 23, U.S. District Judge Robin Rosenberg denied the government’s petition to unseal those transcripts, adding that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit doesn’t permit her court to grant such a request. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/judge-denies-doj-request-unseal-epstein-grand-jury-transcripts-comer-subpoenas-ghislaine

Rather than simply condemning the vaccines, Dr. Ladapo dedicated much of his speech to advocating for the victims of vaccine injury. He applauded Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s May announcement removing mRNA Covid-19 shots from recommended use in healthy kids and pregnant women – a policy Florida itself adopted earlier.
But crucially, Dr. Ladapo said this must be followed by concrete support for those already harmed. He called on federal agencies, especially the National Institutes of Health (NIH), to expand their research into vaccine injuries and long-term post-vaccine complications. “Today, I want to call on the federal government, [on] NIH, to expand the work that they are doing in long Covid to genuinely and wholly include vaccine-injured people – specifically, people who have been injured by mRNA Covid-19 vaccines,” Dr. Ladapo urged. In his view, resources devoted to “long Covid” should equally address post-vaccine syndromes, which many believe share overlapping symptoms and mechanisms. https://brownstone.org/articles/florida-surgeon-general-highlights-vaccine-injuries-calls-on-nih-to-act/

Patients who developed myocarditis after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination show abnormalities on cardiac MRI scans. However, whether myocardial changes occur in asymptomatic individuals after vaccination is not well established.
To assess myocardial fluorine 18 (18F) fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake on PET/CT images in asymptomatic patients vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 compared with nonvaccinated patients.
When compared with nonvaccinated patients, asymptomatic patients who received their second vaccination 1–180 days prior to imaging showed increased myocardial 18F-FDG uptake on PET/CT scans. [Merely less bad] https://pubs.rsna.org/doi/10.1148/radiol.230743
