    Breaking News: Ex-GMA Anchor to Battle US Disinformation for Canada

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.narativ.org In a revealing conversation with Narativ, veteran ABC News journalist Kevin Newman announced the launch of GetFact.ca, a citizen-led initiative to combat what he describes as "Canada's greatest vulnerability" - disinformation. Newman, who co-anchored ABC's Good Morning America before returning to Canada, warns that information warfare is the primary battlefield where Canadian sovereignty will be contested amid rising tensions with the United States. "We have no defense. We have none," Newman explained, highlighting that unlike other NATO allies, Canada has dismantled its psychological operations capabilities and lacks a comprehensive government strategy to counter information attacks. GetFact.ca aims to fill this void with AI-powered fact-checking tools, social media campaigns, and educational resources. "We're basically like a citizens' resistance movement around disinformation," Newman told Narativ.

    Crime House

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.narativ.org As 25 major cryptocurrency figures gather at the White House tomorrow for a summit on establishing an American crypto reserve, our Narativ investigation has uncovered a deeply troubling pattern: three coordinated "pump and dump" operations that have transferred billions from ordinary Americans to a select few insiders with direct ties to Donald Trump. The December 5th Diversion The first operation occurred on December 5th while the nation was distracted by the assassination of the UnitedHealth CEO. In this carefully orchestrated sequence, Trump appointed David Sacks as "Crypto Czar" and Paul Atkins as SEC Chair – both staunch crypto advocates. Bitcoin surged from $70,000 to $108,000 before dropping to $85,000, generating an estimated $700 million windfall for Elon Musk's companies Tesla and SpaceX, which hold substantial Bitcoin on their balance sheets. As economist Peter Schiff noted in our exclusive interview, "If they were doing this with securities, they'd be in jail. But because these things are not securities, they just say they're collectibles. The pump and dump and insider trading or stock manipulation, none of that applies."

    Crypto Conspiracy

    PART 1 IS AVAILABLE AS A FREE PREVIEW When Elon Musk walked into Twitter headquarters carrying a kitchen sink, most saw an eccentric billionaire's publicity stunt. What we've uncovered is something far more calculated: the first move in what may be the largest coordinated market manipulation in history. Our investigation reveals how a $25 billion loss at Twitter/X sets the stage for an unprecedented scheme to profit from cryptocurrency markets using presidential power itself. The numbers tell the story: When Bitcoin traded at $70,000 before Trump's election, Musk was already holding billions in crypto through Tesla and SpaceX. Tesla alone had 10,000 Bitcoin. SpaceX another 8,000. Then came Trump's election victory, and within a week, the price jumped $20,000. But December 5th marked the real turning point. Trump names David Sacks - Musk's old PayPal ally - as America's first Crypto Czar. That same day, he launches World Liberty Financial, perfectly positioned to profit from his own policy announcements. Within hours, he unveils plans for a "strategic national bitcoin stockpile." By mid-December, Bitcoin hits $108,000. The profit mechanism is breathtaking in its simplicity: Through Tesla and SpaceX alone, Musk sees gains of over $600 million. Trump, through World Liberty Financial and his 78.75 million shares in Trump Media & Technology Group, profits from every policy announcement he makes. Each presidential declaration drives crypto prices higher, and each surge increases their personal wealth. This isn't just market manipulation. This is using presidential power to create personal profit. But this is just Part 1. In our next investigation, we'll reveal how manufactured crises, coordinated across continents, serve a much darker purpose. We'll show you who really funded Twitter's purchase - from Russian oligarchs to Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds - and why their involvement signals something far more concerning than financial gain. The cryptocurrency surge isn't the goal. It's just the beginning. For paid subscribers only: Join us tomorrow night for an exclusive discussion with Olga Lautman about preparing for the Trump Administration. This is a public episode.
