Death of Steve Kangas

On 6th February 1999, internet activist Steve Kangas died of a gunshot wound to the head under unclear circumstances. He was a former spook and a pioneer of internet activism, exposing the cabal through his activities on usenet. Many believe he was murdered by the cabal in an an effort to stem the rise of truth on the internet. It is believed that he was working on a book about CIA covert activities at the time of his death.

Russian apartment bombings

Full article: Russian apartment bombings

In September 1999, a series of bombs were set off to destroy apartments in Russia. They were blamed on Chechen separatists. The bombings ceased after FSB officers were spotted placing explosives in the basement of a building in Ryazan. The Russian official narrative becomes confused and self-contradictory at this point. The Duma, on a pro-Kremlin party-line vote, voted to seal all materials related to the Ryazan incident for the next 75 years and forbade an investigation into what happened. Various dissidents have suffered sudden deaths since the event.

Russia	“Higher stakes meant aggressive mobilisation of media for an information war became a feature of 1990s electoral politics at regional level, following the pattern of the 1996 presidential election. By then, the corruption associated with privatisation had made Yeltsin and the reformers unpopular – and many feared the communists would return to power. The democrats had to resort to desperate measures. Every possible resource was mobilised to ensure that Yeltsin was re-elected – including deals with powerful oligarchs with large media empires. The communists were defeated but the price was endemic cynicism about the democratic process. The Yeltsin presidency remained beholden to Russia’s regional governors and the oligarchs. It fell to Putin to curtail the powers of these groups, campaigning in 2000 under the slogan of “the dictatorship of law”. That such a slogan could have popular support shows the degree to which the public had become disillusioned in the late 1990s. However, the direction towards concentration of power had been set almost a decade before Putin was elected president. Russia’s reformers of the 90s largely achieved the irreversible economic change they wanted. They were less successful in creating a positive narrative for the new Russia. Reform had seemed to be based on the idea that Russia needed to learn as much as possible from the west. Over time, disillusion with this idealised view of the west grew and public opinion became more nationalistic.”	Adrian Campbell
