BREAKING: LTG Keith Kellogg (USA, Ret) Identified As Leaker Of Trump Peace Plan - Fired From Ukraine Role
By L Todd Wood
November 29, 2025
 
LTG Keith Kellogg (USA, Ret) was the Trump administration's envoy to Ukraine, but he was not pushing Trump's desire to end the war; quite the opposite.

AFP has reported on LTG Kellogg's dealings with the Ukrainian regime and his conflict of interest -- we outlined how his daughter was running an NGO in Ukraine that made money on the war continuing.

We have reported on Kellogg's spreading of pro-war propaganda in the press and in diplomatic circles.

AFP disclosed how Kellogg's phone was tracked by Russian forces which targeted Ukrainian training sites based on his movements.

You mean Trump's capitulation plan?

Garbage article with zero proof.

Garbage article with zero proof.

According to the link, the author is an AF Academy graduate Special Forces guy.
Not saying yeah or nay on authenticity, but I'd say has more credentials and credibility than the average WaPo or NYT puke.

LOL sure, this is obviously a Russian propaganda site

Their wording is almost identical to everything the Russian liars say (take a look at FR!)

Don't believe this crap, Russia always had a hatred against Kellogg, because he understood what a menace they really are

This is the first time I have seen or read of this on-line periodical.   Trying to be objective here, but this is their staff.  Now compare them to WaPo or NYT.   Which would you trust more?

These sure don't seem to be Russian disinformation agents to me  Again....  trying to look at this objectively.

Sketchy site ... looks like a propaganda outfit looking for an available DNS Domain to use for a socially-engineered disinformation campaign.

I'd be interested to know the person(s) behind the smoke and mirrors at Epik LLC.  Certainly seems geared towards registering sites that want to keep their real owners a secret.

We'll have to see how it plays out - if it plays out.

I'd say it's a firing and court martial offense, so if they haul him off to trial then we know this wasn't fabricated.

[Canuck Conservative]

a firing and court martial offense

For what?

Revealing that Steve Witkoff is a Russian agent?

Seems the obvious left leaning wiki site has a pretty extensive read on Epik.   Seems like general right leaning, and domestic in nature.  Of course there are always several layers to the onion, but if there was some Russian connections, the left wing pukes at Wikipedia would have certainly found them.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epik

[DefiantMassRINO]

According to documentation from the the State of Wyoming, the owner of Epik, Registered Agents Inc, was organized by a foreign corporation / foreign non-profit in 2008.

https://wyobiz.wyo.gov/Business/FilingDetails.aspx?eFNum=220128105202031004092142232096214254048219155218

Many of these Russia-aligned, 'right wing' misinformation outfits exist under multiple layers of shell corporations with PO boxes for addresses.  Many times, the only name listed on the paperwork is the attorney that was used to file it.

They are definitely attempting to hide the source of truth for ownership, influence, and funding.

[DefiantMassRINO]

Wired has a couple of stories about this leaning tower of shell corporations using Registration Agents in the US:

Crap...
 
Went down that rabbit hole of links, and the.so called "Wired" does have some accusations of unsavory stufff, but I found zero evidence of any foreign connections.  Hell, I even checked 7 or 8 of the Wyoming SOS filings,, with no evidence either.   Your foreign connections accusation of interference , might be right, but it sure isn't proven in what you provided.

[catfish1957]

bump

This site is overwhelmed with accusations, that almost everyone under the sun is a Russian agent.  I did some additional research and found no evidence on this site.  We really need to be careful with our comments.

[BobfromWB]

You mean Trump's capitulation plan?

Well not quite. The plan was relayed to (t)Rump by Putin in the Alaska meeting; (t)Rump told Wikcoff who presented the plan to Putin, hoping to make Putin come to the table to make a deal; meanwhile Witcoff ran to (t)Rump and revealed the wonderful plan he and Putin has worked out; (t)Rump agreed that it was a great plan, sure to get him the Nobel for ending the bloodshed.

Still later. Putin began his Zero Day preparations to soften up the rest of Europe for the troops that will be able to leave Ukraine once the wonderful plan comes to fruition. Putin will eliminate the "root causes" that infest the rest of Europe.

Which would you trust more? Lets start with neither, as your source may well be a Russian disinformation campaign - it sure sounds like one. We got lots of similar articles posted on TOS. Comparing it to other news outlets is a strawman.

I'm the ultimate skeptic....   Which is why I challenged these accusations in the first place.  And why I cringe when our side makes these claims without proof.

https://www.wired.com/story/epik-domain-registrar-new-owner/

Excerpts:

Epik.com has been for years the go-to domain registrar for websites that other companies refuse to do business with.

Epik was sold to new ownership last year after the company unraveled amid allegations of gross financial mismanagement. Nearly $2 million of Epik funds was used in Kingdom Ventures, Monsters’ venture capital firm, according to the report.

The buyer of Epik’s domain registrar business was a brand-new company that had been incorporated in Wyoming weeks before the sale was completed last summer: Epik LLC. The owner of Epik LLC, according to two people familiar with the deal, is Registered Agents Inc. Its services allow companies to operate anonymously in a jurisdiction of its choosing

The founder and owner of Registered Agents, according to two people familiar with the company, is a man named Dan Keen. In an email, a lawyer for Registered Agents Inc. says Keen is not the owner nor an employee of Registered Agents Inc. or Epik, and that he acted as a consultant in the acquisition.

Keen is intensely private, according to multiple people who have worked with him who requested anonymity to discuss details of the deal. “He has made it his mission in life to be invisible,” said one. “He’s someone who likes to operate in the shadows,” claims another. Keen is a serial entrepreneur who previously ran a lawn care and tree-trimming business, according to public records.

A 2022 investigation by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists found that “oligarchs, criminals and online scammers” have used Registered Agents to operate in the United States and shield their true identity.

[DefiantMassRINO]

On the last page of the 2008 Initial Filing for Northwest Registered Agent, LLC ... Pacific Registered Agents, Inc. (registering agent) checked box C for foreign corporation.

https://wyobiz.wyo.gov/Business/FilingDetails.aspx?eFNum=220128105202031004092142232096214254048219155218

Why are these rays of sunshine so dark about remaining anonymous?

I want to know who, and whose money, is behind what I read.  These layered LLC's are attempted to obscure the true identity and source of funding for these sites purporting to be legitimate, reputable news information sites.

If it looks like an Internet fraud, if it behaves like an internet fraud, I'll presume it is an Internet fraud until the owners reveal themselves.

Fraudulent sites operate on the legal fringes and in the gray shadows.

It is up to the owners of the site to earn my trust by proving their integrity.  If they want me to form an opinion, they need to tell me who they are and why I should believe them.

Why didn't they get an SSL/TLS certificate from an Internet Certificate Authority, such as EnTrust, which has more stringent owner identification requirements than a temporary SSL/TLS cert from Google?  Because they don't want me to know who they are.

And this is why I mentioned the "unsavory character" comment a few posts back. No shortage of those in our country. Still no one has provided any proof that they are foreign agents.....

And believe me, if the ultra left slueths feeding the Wiki page can't find them., then you gotta wonder.
