Michelin Red Star: The Insider reveals identity of arrested Russian chef-agent who planned “destabilizing” acts at Paris Olympic Games
The Insider ^ | July 25, 2024 | Christo Grozev, Michael Weiss, Roman Dobrokhotov

A Russian lawyer-turned-chef who once appeared on a dating show back in his homeland was directed by the Kremlin’s intelligence services to stage “large-scale” acts of “destabilization” at the opening of the Olympic Games in France on July 26, The Insider has learned. The Insider can confirm that Kirill Griaznov, who revealed his plans in a drunken conversation over dinner on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast, has extensive ties to FSB and GRU officers. Griaznov has been arrested by French security services, who found sufficient evidence to charge him with espionage.

Being trained at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, Kirill Griaznov fondly recalled, was “not just learning gastronomy, but also art de vivre.”

Now this 40 year-old chef of haute cuisine, who legally resided in France for over a decade, faces a French judicial investigation into his alleged work on behalf of foreign intelligence, specifically the FSB, Russia’s domestic security service. His mission, according to the French investigators, was “to incite hostilities in France.” Instead, a drink-soaked attempt to brag about his important operation led to his unmasking.

Griaznov was arrested at his Paris home on July 19 with “diplomatic material,” according to the city’s prosecutor, and charged four days later. If convicted, he faces 30 years behind bars.

Nuff said, eh?

Makes me wonder who is funding Antifa?

Who bought the Tiki torches, flags and khaki pants at Charlottesville?

Why hasn’t anyone been following the money?

If that was a “chief agent”, Russia is really in trouble.

The Tides Foundation.
Of course.

The Tides Foundation, a grantmaking donor advisor...

Give them money and they will bury your tracks without a trace.
Not my line of work but sounds illegal to me.

High-end money laundering.

FR had a link to a deep dive into their connections.

Some fun:
Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation Inc. is suing in California state court its one-time partner, the Tides Foundation, saying the fund is withholding and has “egregiously mismanaged” more than $33 million in donations earmarked for Black Lives Matter.

How do you destabilize something that is unhinged by design?

Accidentally or deliberately?

Perhaps he had 'gone native' and couldn't bear the thought of hurting his friends?

Sorta like Russian by birth, French by choice?

An evening of drunken bragging gives him some cover from being blamed by Russia for screwing up the Kremlin's plans.

After all, it's not like he'd be the first Russian drunkard!

So was he the one in charge of the opening ceremonies? Hard to imagine anything more destabilizing.

Name calling. A classic woke tactic to shut down free and open discussion.

Who was responsible for this? I'll give you a hint. It wasn't Putin.
