An extremely serious debate is already raging among selected circles of power/intelligence in Moscow.
By Pepe Escobar
An extremely serious debate is already raging among selected circles of power/intelligence in Moscow – and the heart of the matter could not be more incandescent.
To cut to the chase: what really happened in Kursk? Was the Russian Ministry of Defense caught napping? Or did they see it coming and profited to set up a deadly trap for Kiev?
Well-informed players willing to share a few nuggets on condition of anonymity all stress the extreme sensitivity of it all. An intel pro though has offered what may be interpreted as a precious clue: “It is rather surprising to see such a concentration of force was unnoticed by satellite and drone surveillance at Kursk, but I would not exaggerate its importance.”
Another intel pro prefers to stress that “the foreign intel section is weak as it was very badly run.” This is a direct reference to the state of affairs after former security overseer Nikolai “Yoda” Patrushev, during Putin’s post-inauguration reshuffle, was transferred from his post as secretary of the Security Council to serve as a special presidential aide.
The sources, cautiously, seem to converge on a very serious possibility: “There seems to have been a breakdown in intel; they do not seem to have noticed the accumulation of troops at the Kursk border”.
Another analyst though has offered a way more specific scenario, according to which a hawkish military faction, spread across the Ministry of Defense and the intel apparatus – and antagonistic to the new Minister of Defense Belousov, an economist – let the Ukrainian invasion proceed with two objectives in mind: set a trap for Kiev’s top enemy commanders and troops, who were diverted from the – collapsing – Donbass front; and put extra pressure on Putin to finally go for the head of the snake and finish off the war.
This hawkish faction, incidentally, regards Chief of the General Staff Gerasimov as “totally incompetent”, in the words of one intel pro. There’s no smoking gun, but Gerasimov allegedly ignored several warnings about a Ukrainian buildup near the Kursk border.
A retired intel pro is even more controversial. He complains that “traitors of Russia” actually “stripped three regions from troops to surrender them to the Ukrainians.” Now, these “traitors of Russia” will be able “to ‘exchange’ the city of Suzha for leaving the fake country of Ukraine and promote it as an inevitable solution.”
Incidentally, only this Thursday Belousov started chairing a series of meetings to improve security in the “three regions” – Kursk, Belgorod and Bryansk.
Hawks in the siloviki apparatus don’t make it a secret that Gerasimov should be fired – and replaced by fabled General Sergey “Armageddon” Surovikin. They also enthusiastically support the FSB’s Alexander Bortnikov – who de facto solved the extremely murky Prigozhin affair – as the man now really supervising The Big Picture in Kursk.
And the next one is Belgorod
Well, it’s complicated.
President Putin’s reaction to the Kursk invasion was visible in his body language. He was furious: for the flagrant military/intel failure; for the obvious loss of face; and for the fact that this buries any possibility of rational dialogue about ending the war.
Yet he managed to turn the upset around in no time, by designating Kursk as a counter-terrorist operation (CTO); supervised by the FSB’s Bortnikov; and with an inbuilt “take no prisoners” rationale. Every Ukrainian in Kursk not willing to surrender is a potential target – set for elimination. Now or later, no matter how long it takes.
Bortnikov is the hands-on specialist. Then there’s the Overseer of the whole military/civilian response: Alexey Dyumin, the new secretary of the State Council, who among other previous posts was the deputy head of the special operations division of GRU (military intel). Dyumin does not respond directly to the Ministry of Defense nor the FSB: he is reporting directly to the President.
Translation: Gerasimov now seems to be at best a figurehead in the whole Kursk drama. The men in charge are Bortnikov and Dyumin.
The Kursk P.R. gambit is set to massively fail. Essentially, the Ukrainian forces are moving away from their lines of communication and supplies into Russian territory. A parallel can be made with what happened to Field Marshall von Paulus at Stalingrad when the German Army became overextended.
The Russians are already in the process of cutting off the Ukrainians in Kursk – breaking off their lines of supply. What’s left of the crack soldiers launched into Kursk would have to turn back, facing Russians both at their front and back. Disaster looms.
Irrepressible commander of the Akhmat special forces, Major General Apti Alaudinov, confirmed on Rossiya-1 TV that at least 12,000 Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) entered Kursk, including a lot of foreigners (Brits, French, Poles). That will turn out to be a “take no prisoners” on a massive scale.
Anyone with an IQ above room temperature knows Kursk is a NATO operation – conceived with a high degree of probability by an Anglo-American combo supervising the Ukronazi cannon fodder.
Anything Kiev does depends on American ISR (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance) and NATO weapons systems of course operated by NATO personnel.
Mikhail Podolyak, adviser to the sweaty green T-shirt actor in Kiev, admitted that Kiev “discussed” the attack “with Western partners”. The “Western partners” – Washington, London, Berlin – in full cowardly regalia, deny it.
Bortnikov won’t be fooled. He succinctly stated, on the record, that this was a Kiev terrorist attack supported by the West.
We are now entering the stage of hardcore positioning combat bound to destroy villages and towns. It will be ugly. Russian military analysts remark that if a buffer zone had been preserved way back in March 2022, mid-range artillery activity would have been restricted to Ukrainian territory. Yet another controversial decision by the Russian General Staff.
Russia will eventually solve the Kursk drama – mopping up small Ukrainian groups in a methodically lethal way. Yet very sensitive questions about how it happened – and who let it happen – simply won’t vanish. Heads will have to – figuratively – roll. Because this is just the beginning.
The next incursion will be in Belgorod. Get ready for more blood on the tracks.

The less self-congratulatory camp of the super-wealthy understand the pressure cooker of inequality and unfairness is going to blow unless they relinquish some of their unearned gains generated by Fed policies.
The cultural consensus holds that the super-wealthy always manage to come out ahead in any spot of bother. Due to their grip on the levers of financial and political power, whatever lays waste to the bottom 90% of the populace is either 1) an opportunity to increase their wealth or 2) a minor bump in the road to ever-expanding wealth.
History offers an abundance of examples. A favorite of mine is the guest books of the French chateaus owned by the super-wealthy, which logged visits from the Usual Suspects (political and financial bigshots) until 1940, when the names of Nazi bigshots began filling the ledgers, and then in 1945, the visitor list reverted to the Usual Suspects: a seamless transition from one set of political overlords to the next that the chateau owners rode without difficulty.
But there are counter-examples as well. Consider the family estate of famed architect I.M. Pei in Suzhou, China. I visited the impressive Pei residence, which is now a government-owned property open to the public. The Pei family was wealthy enough to be comfortably in the top tier of Chinese society. Life was good for China’s elite, right up to 1949. These elites did not glide though the revolution intact; their wealth was confiscated.
They were replaced with a new elite, who now holds vast troves of wealth secreted away in the West, and just as I.M. Pei attended prestigious American Ivy League universities, so too do the sons and daughters of China’s party elites, under assumed names, of course, to allow them a private experience outside the limelight.
So the super-wealthy don’t always skate through tumultuous times, emerging richer than ever. We all understand how vast wealth inequality influences the political and social responses to crises. What is less well understood is the role of fairness in the social and political realms: if the inequality is understood to be the result of extremes of unfairness, the public mood darkens considerably, as humans are innately sensitive to unfairness.
The porousness of the border between the wealthy and the poor matters greatly in assessing fairness. If the financial-social membrane between the two classes is relatively porous, enabling the most ambitious and brightest of the poor to enter the ranks of the wealthy (or the ranks of the the top 10% who serve them), then the society maintains a minimum level of fairness that alleviates the pressure to overthrow the regime.
The remedial actions of the state also matter greatly. If the government acts decisively to raise estate taxes, taxes on unearned (i.e. rentier) income and on the higher reaches of earned income, and devotes some minimal attention to the basic needs of the bottom 90%, these policies also alleviate the pressure to overthrow the regime.
The book The Great Leveler: Violence and the History of Inequality from the Stone Age to the Twenty-First Century addresses these dynamics in admirable detail.
In other words, extremes of wealth/power inequality set the stage, but the closing act is decided by our responses to soaring inequality. If the response is PR artifice, i.e. the rich keep getting richer as the suffering of the bottom 90% increases, regime change starts looking like the only solution available.
If, on the other hand, policy makers and the public push back against the dominance of the super-wealthy, then the status quo can avoid fragmentation and dissolution.
The super-wealthy play a key role in this choice of response, and this fragments the elites into warring camps, a dynamic I’ve addressed many times over the years, including in my chart of some of the overlapping crises that will demand more than duct-tape responses:
The backdrop is the policies that have handed the super-wealthy immense gains in wealth and power via policy-driven asset appreciation and the gradual diminishment of the purchasing power of wages. Over the past 45 years, the value of earnings has declined $149 trillion to the benefit of unearned gains reaped by the already-wealthy:
This chart shows how wealth inequality has risen from the late 1970s, and how it was rocket-boosted by the Federal Reserve’s “wealth effect” policies of quantitative easing (QE):
The bottom 80% own a mere fraction of the wealth owned by the top 1% and top 10%
While the wealthy cling to the self-serving narcissistic view that since we’re doing fine, everyone’s doing fine, the reality is the bottom 80% are awakening to the reality that they’re not doing fine, a divide that will only widen as recession tightens its grip on the throats of the bottom 80%:
This is the vision of the “our wealth is rightly all ours” camp of the super-wealthy:the rest of us will own nothing and we’ll be gloriously happy. Uh, sure. Since we’re so happy, why don’t we switch places?
The less self-congratulatory camp of the super-wealthy understand the pressure cooker of inequality and unfairness is going to blow unless they relinquish some of their unearned gains generated by Fed policies. While they naturally intend on keeping the vast majority of their gains, they realize the dividends of limitless greed might just be the overthrow of the regime they control to serve their own interests.
The rest of us play a part, too, of course, and our choice boils down to this:“And you want me to join this?”
The super-wealthy have a problem:if they refuse to release the pressure building in a grossly unfair, rigged system that’s enriched them beyond measure, then the pendulum may swing to the other extreme and they’ll be visiting their former estates as tourists in a few years.
But if they agree to relinquish some part of their gains, they fear the tides of history may erode their sand castles. Aiya, what a dilemma.

How a small-town entrepreneur revolutionized the way businesses grow and support one another.
Shaheen Mazloom’s entrepreneurial spirit bloomed early, inspired by his family’s journey from struggling farmers to successful butchers. This drive to succeed led him to create Versa Business Systems, a company that reimagines how businesses interact with one another, with the goal of helping them thrive together.
Versa Business Systems provides essential services such as business lending, credit card processing, ERC, grants, and AI outreach to help businesses grow and succeed. The company’s unique approach to B2B sales is focused on nurturing long-term relationships and prioritizing the needs of clients. This strategy has led to impressive growth for Versa, as well as a reputation for trustworthiness in the industry.
Early Life and Career
Mazloom began his career at the age of 14, eventually moving into B2B sales and managing a team of outside sales representatives. Through these experiences, he discovered the importance of building lasting relationships with clients and developing a business model that benefits both parties. This epiphany led him to create Versa Business Systems, with the mission of ensuring that businesses are better off after working with the company.
Challenges and Pivots
Versa’s initial struggle to find the right product and sales process led to an important pivot. Instead of leading with a product, the company decided to focus on becoming a solution for business owners’ problems. By positioning themselves as consultants, Versa was able to build rapport and trust with clients, resulting in higher closing ratios and repeat business.
The company’s early marketing strategy relied heavily on direct mail, which was both expensive and difficult to scale. After being introduced to AI, Mazloom revolutionized Versa’s marketing approach, reducing costs by two-thirds and allowing the company to reach more potential clients. This shift helped Versa grow exponentially, expanding the business by 25 times in just eight months.
Keys to Success
Mazloom attributes Versa’s success to a combination of factors: learning from mentors, focusing on helping people, and building a strong team. He emphasizes that being the hardest-working person in your business is crucial for success, and that a dedicated team is essential for growth.
In his quest for success, Mazloom has been guided by billionaire mentors who provided invaluable advice. He suggests that entrepreneurs should listen to those who have already achieved what they aim to accomplish and then add their personal twist to make it even better. One of the critical lessons he has learned is that if your primary focus is on helping people or solving a problem, money and success will naturally follow.
Building a strong and dedicated team has been a vital part of Versa’s success. Mazloom believes that having good people on your team is not enough; they need to believe in you, trust you, and know that you will work alongside them. He stresses that to build a big business, you cannot do it alone and must be willing to put in the hard work, especially in the beginning.
Work-Life Integration
In his personal life, Mazloom doesn’t believe in a strict work-life balance, as he views work and life as intertwined. He and his fiancé often discuss their businesses and goals, but they also carve out phone-free time each week to recharge. This approach helps them maintain a healthy relationship while staying focused on their entrepreneurial pursuits.
Giving Back and Future Plans
Mazloom is excited to launch the Versa Business Tips Podcast, where he will interview successful business owners and share advice for those looking to grow or start their own business. The podcast will feature giveaways such as free books, courses, webinars, and even vacations to help listeners on their entrepreneurial journeys. The podcast aims to provide valuable insights and resources to aspiring entrepreneurs, while also shining a light on the challenges and triumphs of successful business owners.
In addition to the podcast, Mazloom shares his knowledge and experience through the Versa Business Tips YouTube channel, where he offers practical advice gleaned from his mentors and personal experiences. This platform allows him to reach a wider audience and inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs.
Mazloom’s commitment to giving back extends beyond sharing advice; he’s also focused on creating opportunities for others within his company. By fostering an inclusive and supportive work environment, he’s built a team that feels motivated and empowered to contribute to Versa’s success.
Conclusion
Versa Business Systems is a shining example of how one entrepreneur’s passion for helping others can lead to a thriving business that benefits everyone involved. Shaheen Mazloom’s innovative approach to B2B sales and marketing has transformed the industry, and his dedication to giving back through mentorship and resources will undoubtedly continue to inspire future generations of entrepreneurs.
Mazloom’s journey is a testament to the power of perseverance, adaptability, and a genuine desire to make a positive impact. By focusing on building lasting relationships, prioritizing clients’ needs, and investing in his team, he’s created a successful and sustainable business model that is poised for even greater growth in the future.
As Versa Business Systems continues to evolve and expand, Mazloom’s commitment to helping others will remain at the core of the company’s mission. With plans to reach even more entrepreneurs through his podcast, YouTube channel, and other ventures, Shaheen Mazloom is leaving a lasting legacy that will undoubtedly shape the future of B2B sales and business growth for years to come.

Chicago Businesses Board Up As Protesters Threaten To Shut Down Dems Convention
Daley Plaza has been completely boarded up
Tens of thousands of protesters are expected to descend near the Democratic National Convention in downtown Chicago in the coming days. Local media reports that shops have already boarded up doors and windows with plywood ahead of what could be a chaotic week.
Crews with Chicago Board Up Services told WGN-TV that at least a dozen shops around the West Loop, downtown, and Daley Plaza have been completely boarded up. They expect additional businesses to do the same.
Weird. They didn’t have to do this for the Republican National Convention.
Chicago Businesses Boarding Up Ahead of Democratic Nat‘l Convention via @BreitbartNews
Scott Schapiro, the owner of Syd Jerome, a menswear shop at 20 N. Clark St., told NBC Chicago that he is no stranger to smash-and-grab and looting in the metro area and decided to take extra precautions, such as boarding up doors and windows ahead of the convention – where thousands of protesters are expected.
“You get that phone call in the middle of the night and your heart jumps out of your chest,” Schapiro told the local media outlet.
He continued, “We want to sleep a little more soundly at night, and this gives us a little security, and we hope that there isn’t any incident obviously, but in the event there is, we want to have maximum protection.”
Protest organizers told NBC News that 20,000 demonstrators from several states will take over downtown streets in an approved protest area near the Democratic National Convention.
“The 264 protest groups that have said they will participate are primarily focused on Palestinian rights, ending the war in Gaza and reducing US aid to Israel,” NBC said, adding, “Others represent a patchwork of left-leaning causes: climate activists, socialists, anti-racist organizations, queer and trans rights groups.”
Mayor Brandon Johnson informed business owners and residents last week that the metro area is well prepared for social unrest. He reiterated that Chicago’s police force has worked with the Secret Service and other law enforcement agencies.
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker brushed off fears that next week’s Democratic National Convention could erupt into the same kind of violence experienced during the 1968 convention.
Other local media outlets predict a much larger crowd size, upwards of 100,000 pro-Palestinian protesters.
One protest organization, Behind Enemy Lines, has called for “Make it Great like ’68,” referring to the riots at the 1968 Democratic Convention.
“We’re not calling for violence or planning on anything illegal, but we think that there’s ways for people to protest that do go beyond business as usual,” the group spokesperson said, who asked not to be named and quoted by WBEZ Chicago.
The media outlet explained, “Behind Enemy Lines has opened a temporary office on Chicago’s Northwest Side, decorated with posters bearing slogans such as “Stop Killer Kamala” and “Fight Back for Gaza!””
Any outbreak of civil disobedience could ignite a wave of bad press for VP Harris and the Democrats.
VP Harris is already coming off a week of terrible headlines after debuting her first economic policies, including communist-style price controls.

Walz admin gave $2 million to al Qaeda-linked charity
The Muslim group fundraises for a U.S.-designated supporter of al Qaeda
By Terrance Kible
Minnesota awarded more than $2 million to a Muslim group that fundraises for an al Qaeda-linked charity under the tenure of Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.).
The Islamic Association of North America (IANA) received state grants from 2019 to 2024, the Washington Examiner reported.
IANA fundraises for Rahma Worldwide, a Michigan-based charity claiming to ship humanitarian aid to Gaza.
In a now-deleted Facebook post, Rahma Worldwide President Shadi Zaza said his charity is collaborating on an aid initiative with the Islamic Heritage Revival Society of Kuwait, a U.S.-designated terror group sanctioned for funding al Qaeda.
This latest revelation comes amid criticism of Walz over his links to Muslim cleric Asad Zaman, whom Walz repeatedly hosted as Minnesota’s governor.
Zaman has defended the October 7 attacks and shared a pro-Hitler film on social media. Walz referred to Zaman in 2018 as a “master teacher” at a Muslim American Society of Minnesota event. The society partners with IANA.
