Radicalized son of a CIA director was killed fighting for Russia in Ukraine: report

The radicalized son of a CIA director was killed last year while allegedly fighting for Russia in Ukraine, according to a new investigation.

Michael Alexander Gloss, the 21-year-old son of the CIA’s Deputy Director for Digital Innovation Julianne Gallina Gloss and a Navy veteran father, was killed on the front lines after enlisting in the Russian army, according to a lengthy investigation by independent Russian outlet Important Stories.

Gloss’ obituary said his “fiercely beautiful life … was taken from us during his travels overseas” on April 4, 2024, without detailing exactly how

“With his noble heart and warrior spirit Michael was forging his own hero’s journey when he was tragically killed in Eastern Europe,” the obit said.

Before leaving on his travels, Gloss shared images of him giving the finger to the White House — and also video of a burning flag.

Border service data showed that he crossed into Russia via Georgia in August 2023, sending photos of his adventures to a group chat of friends in the “Rainbow Family,” a loose-knit, counter-culture “hippie” group, according to Important Stories.

That September, Gloss appeared in Russia’s Unified Medical Information and Analytical System of Moscow, where his address was listed as a medical examination room at an Army contract recruitment point on Yablochkova Street — the same address given to foreign mercenaries who arrive in Moscow to join Russian forces in the Ukrainian conflict, according to the report.

Rainbow Family is an outgrowth of the Living Theatre, linked to the Diggers (1960s San Francisco anarchist group known for street theater, predecessor of the Yippies) and Situationists (Marxist avant-garde revolutionary group involved in the 1968 Paris uprisings).

Could be summed up as sort of an anarchist New Age group.

I’m with you guys, but sadly there’s a long history of this kind of thing, cf. the Spanish Civil War in which more than 3000 American leftists volunteered to fight on behalf of the communists

He joined other groups too.

From the linked investigation (google translated)

Among the groups Gloss joined at that time were "Romantika russkikh vil'deniy", "We are from the USSR", "USSR Lenin Stalin Marxism Communism Communists", "Islam", "KPRF".

“According to the friend, Gloss “was convinced that Western hegemony was coming to an end and that BRICS would take its place.” “

Sounds like a Peeper.

Thanks, very detailed article. It looks like those are Russian social media groups he joined on the VK (ВКонтакте) network.

Probably signed up with the Russians to get the opportunity to rape some hot Ukrainian girls.

From the other info, it seems he was an ideological communist.

Maybe rebellion against mom and dad, which had gone to pathological levels.

Thank god russians are so stupid. They could have held him hostage to blackmail his mom threatening torture, but instead sent him to die in a meat attack.

I also heard that he was a crazy ANTIFA leftist.
No wonder he joined Russia!
