The Coup That Killed The USSR (RFERL, 2021) # "In August 1991, a group of Soviet hard-liners locked Mikhail Gorbachev up in his Crimean dacha and tried to keep the U.S.S.R. together by force. Facing massive protests, they gave up just three days after taking power, when the first civilian blood was spilled in Moscow. The Communist Party was banned after the coup's failure, and the Soviet Union officially broke up later that year -- putting 15 independent countries on the map." # Source: https://www.rferl.org/a/august-1991-soviet-coup/31412829.html # Yeltsin and the CIA: - [US agents helped Yeltsin break coup](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/us-agents-helped-yeltsin-break-coup-1436470.html) (Independent, 1994) - [Bush Aided Yeltsin in 1991 Coup](https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1994/05/15/bush-aided-yeltsin-in-91-coup-new-report-says/ff37eef3-b524-4c4f-a26b-9f927c11a405/) (Washington Post, 1994) - [When Boris Yeltsin asked Bill Clinton for help](https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2020/06/26/russian-election-interference-meddling/) (Washington Post, 2020) - [Boris Yeltsin had entourage of ‘hundreds’ of CIA agents](https://www.rt.com/russia/526345-yeltsin-cia-connection-claim/) (RT, 2021) # Playlist: [Russia and Soviet Union](https://odysee.com/@swprs:3/Russia-and-Soviet-Union:5) (SPR) # ***

Delusions: Why Smart People Believe Stupid Things (After Skool, 2024) # "What causes Delusion? The prevailing view is that people adopt false beliefs because they’re too stupid or ignorant to grasp the truth. But just as often, the opposite is true: many delusions prey not on dim minds but on bright ones. And this has serious implications for education, society, and you personally. In this video in collaboration with Gurwinder, we explore the reasons why intelligent people believe irrational things and what can be done to avoid the allure of delusion." # Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Peima-Uw7w (After Skool, 2024) # Playlist: [Propaganda and Psychology](https://odysee.com/$/playlist/498909d379a3400ce3e3d117e4ad19cdc8a06e68) # ***
