(neologism, politics) A small group of ultrawealthy men who exert inordinate control or influence within a political structure, particularly while espousing views regarded as anti-democratic, technofascist, and masculinist.
The shit is hitting the fan at such a high rate that it can be difficult to keep up. So this is a place to share such news.

Kyiv Insider is a very questionable source. ~~Not~~ Note that they don't even name the FBI agent, when his name would be a matter of public record if he was arrested and bonded out.
This could be a soft release before the actual release of this information.
Then the GOP can always say, “Oh, that crazy Kiev article?”
It’s probably true and this is how they slide shit past.
Could be. But it's not something I would put money on.
This is one of those things that angry people on the left want to be true, just like angry people on the right want all of the Q-anon trash to be true. This is one of those things that feeds directly into conspiratorial thinking. Anything that sounds too good to be true, isn't sourced, and isn't published in a reputable source should immediately make you suspicious. No one is immune to propaganda.
Also: which outlet was it that was publishing all of the claims that Putin had some kind of highly-aggressive, fatal cancer, that he was dying, that he was trying to complete the defeat of Ukraine prior to dying? That was, like, two years ago? That didn't pan out at all, and it was the same thing; none of the reputable news sources were picking that one up.
