The Story Of Karim Baratov - ex hacker for hire
Residents in an upscale Ancaster, Ontario neighbourhood often wondered about the one homeowner that seemed to stand out. He didn’t look much older than 19, didn’t seem to work, yet had a near million dollar house and a collection of exotic cars.
In 2017 a joint RCMP / FBI operation on the home's front porch led to the arrest of 22-year-old Karim Baratov, and provided answers to many of the neighborhood's questions about him and his wealth.
MJ Banias and Jordan will explore this story together by seeking the firsthand account directly from the source.
Karim Baratov, now older, wiser, and no longer an American prison inmate will join the show to recount the fascinating sotry of how a Kazakhstani immigrant in Canada achieved great wealth as one of Canada’s most notorious computer hackers, only to experience a dramatic and public downfall.

the People of RICHMOUND, SK. VS. QUEEN ROMANA the QAnon Queen of Canada
In a past episode, I shared the story of Romana Didulo, the Pilipino immigrant who, from a bedroom in a Victoria, BC boarding house, convinced a surprising number of Canadians that she is the true queen of Canada and our Kingdom's commander in chief.
Via a series of follow up episodes we also heard how she and her followers attempted a sort of twisted siege of a Peterborough police station.
Despite the failed arrest of a police force, Romana Didulo and her followers haven’t slowed down. Earlier this month they arrived in Kamsack, Saskatchewan with plans to rebuild the town under Didulo’s rule only to be chased out of town by locals… but they didn’t travel far.
The Queen and her followers are now sheltering in an abandoned school house in the town of Richmound, Saskatchewan and the towns people have been circling it in protest almost since their arrival.
In this episode, we are joined by Tom who produces the guerilla news site Community TV.
When the protests started in Richmound Tom was there.

Queen Romana and the Peterborough Police Siege - 2 - Caryma S'ad's First Hand Account
Caryma S'ad is an Ontario based lawyer, journalist, and activist. When she heard the self declared queen of Canada was planning a siege of a police station she did what any reasonable lawyer/journalist/activist would do…She grabbed her helmet, hoped on an electric scooter, and got right in the middle of it.
She was one of the first on the scene that day, and she left when Romana DIdulo did. In fact, Caryma all but chased her out of there.
In this episode of Nighttime Caryma S'ad will share her experiences with Romana Didulo and the Peterborough SIEGE.

Queen Romana and the Peterborough Police Siege - Part 1
Using little more than a Youtube account a middle aged woman living in a boarding house in Victoria, BC has convinced thousands of people across the country that a global group of allied countries have appointed her Queen of Canada and Commander in Chief of Canada.
Her followers (who refer to themselves as We The People) believe her many royal decrees to be law and they act accordingly. One such decree, an end to all covid related mandates, slowly evolved and mutated into a group of her followers laying Siege to the Peterborough Police Station with the goal of arresting the staff and turning them over to the American military to face charges of crimes against humanity.
In this episode of Nighttime, I'll be using Romana Didulo’s and her follower’s own words to explain exactly what led to, and what went down with Queen Romana and the Peterborough Police Siege

The Story of Romana Didulo - the self declared ‘Queen of Canada’
For nearly a year now, a middle aged woman in Victoria, BC has been publishing videos and releasing written statements in which she claims to have been appointed as Queen of Canada and head of government by a collective of allied nations.
It may sound laughable, but Romana Didulo has been embraced by the online Qanon conspiracy subculture and as a result she has found herself with a large devoted following, upwards of 70k members in fact, and many of them believe her every word.
Romana Didulo has declared the version of Canada she claims to lead a vaccination free country... and has declared vaccine administration a crime against humanity that is punishable by death... and she seems to have given her followers approval to carry out the enforcement.
To help us understand the story, I've turned to Peter Smith, a journalist with the Canadian Antihate network, who has been tracking Romana's activities since she first surfaced as an influential extremist leader.
In this episode of Nighttime, Peter Smith and I will discuss the Story of Romana Didulo, the self proclaimed queen of Canada.

Customer Reviews
TORONTO 1978 - 1990
I lived in Cabbage town during this time. This was during the Bathhouse police raids & the College Avenue Maple Leaf consortium taking advantage of impressionable kids along with societal non acceptance of gays.
Our street was part of the gay very successful business owners who were doing major improvements to the area but some of whom associated with children 14 -18.
This was the beginning of AIDS in Toronto & led to so many young men dying with few doctors
This was also when kids about 10 yrs old were shoe shining & living on Yonge St.
Two men grabbed a kid & killed him on Yonge St in an apt above a business. I knew it well because my optometrist was close by & I was there frequently & worked downtown in an insurance company.
I went to bars there with live music (RonnieHawkins & The Band) & many hockey games.
Boy’s town was very real although I was very innocent at the time & only recognized it once when one of my neighbours used to have about 6 - 8 kids congregate outside his house early evenings.
The homeowner knew I didn’t like this. However I was very sympathetic when he died of AIDS but also knowing he had likely transmitted it to lots of others.
I was there when one victim of the College St consortium jumped off the Don Valley bridge to his death in the 80’s. His abusers were not given more than 3 - 5 years in prison & were paroled.
Prisoners were released into downtown Toronto with little oversight.
My sister & I had trouble keeping clear of them when going to the beaches with my very sweet & trusting nephew.

Great stories!
Love this podcast. I like the different types of topics. Love all the guests. This is my top 3 favourite podcast . Unfortunately I’ve listened to them all so now I have to wait for the new shows to come out every week😉 And I love the music in the background! That’s what peaked my interest to the show!
