Editor’s Commentary: Imagine if someone was caught taking taxpayer funds meant for aid and using that money to buy luxury items. You don’t have to imagine it because we’re seeing it playing out in real time across the nation. It seems like every day we get new reports that people took Covid relief funds or other “aid” and used it to buy luxury cars, vacations, or other major purchases that should not be paid for by American taxpayers.
It tends to make the news because corporate media loves to highlight the corruption of individuals. Moreover, American readers love to hear when those who are stealing from us are brought to justice. But you won’t see the same attention paid to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky or any of his merry band of oligarchs. They’re taking U.S. taxpayer dollars and making the PPP scammers in America look like petty thieves. Corporate media doesn’t want to talk about it and most American taxpayers don’t want to hear it. Why? Because it reaffirms what many of us have been saying for years, that taxpayer dollars being sent as “aid” to Ukraine are not aiding the people at all. This is all a scam, arguably the largest foreign aid scam in American history, and that’s just too hard for Ukraine-flag-flyers to hear. With that said, here’s the report from SHTF Plan…
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reportedly purchased a luxury mansion in Egypt. The mansion was bought through his mother-in-law, likely to hide the sale from the public. There is also evidence showing that the ruler used Western war aid money given to Ukraine to buy the property.
This shouldn’t surprise anyone. This is what the masters do while they jack up inflation and impoverish the slave class in order to create dependence. We all had better stop believing in authority sooner rather than later or this is going to become a major problem for those who are not ruling over others.
Egyptian investigative journalist Mohammed Al-Alawi initially broke the news following major in-depth research. Al-Alawi also published interviews with sources familiar with the purchase of the luxurious mansion. He disclosed that the Zelensky family acquired a luxury property valued at around $5 million in the Egyptian city of El Gouna.
Al-Alawi also published documents that prove it was the Zelensky family that purchased the villa. Olga Kiyashko, Zelensky’s mother-in-law, was the one who actually purchased the property for $4.85 million on May 16th. Ukrainian First Lady Olena Zelenska is the daughter of Kiyashko.
According to analysts, the money Kiyashko used to purchase the property appears to come from Western financial aid packages given to Kyiv. Ukraine has been involved in a war with Russia since February 2022, with many Western nations giving assistance in different forms – be it money or military equipment. –Natural News
Egyptian political scientist Abdulrahman Alabbassy criticized Zelensky and his relatives for spending fortunes amassed by Western war aid on personal luxuries instead of using Ukraine’s donated riches for military and humanitarian purposes.
“I am surprised that relatives of top Ukrainian officials began to buy luxury real estate after the start of [the Russia-Ukraine war]. I don’t remember anything like this before,” he said. Alabbassy expressed certainty that Kiyashko’s property purchase in El Gouna “is the result of corruption and the theft of humanitarian aid to Ukraine.”
No kidding. All rulers are corrupt and Zelensky is no exception. The only option to stop this blatant distasteful behavior is to stop believing others have the right to rule. Government is slavery, and the first step to abolishing it is to stop believing in it.

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
