They're a father and son team of "publicists" from Bulgaria with Russia as a client.

The son Daniel Ivandjiiski came to the US, graduated with an undergraduate degree in Biology and was convicted of insider trading, leading up to publishing the English language ZeroHedge from his apartment in the New York area at last account..

The father Krassimir Ivandjiiski publishes "Strogo sekretno" aka "Top Secret" strogosekretno.com

There is some overlap between the stories carried by each, but "Top Secret" stories are much more in line with "the world persecuting poor Vladimir Putin" you'd expect from the FSB, which to an American looks more like "The National Enquirer".

In a very real way both "Strogo sekrento" and "ZeroHedge" serve the same entertainment purpose as "The National Enquirer" but there's an underlying narrative that western economies are on the verge of collapse and Russia only has problems because of the futile efforts of Western leaders. If that's your idea of entertainment that's terrific, but the stories will lead to bad investment decisions as you begin to live in an imaginary world similar to the imaginary universe Fox News viewers inhabit.

ZeroHedge has the appearance of a news source with the data often presented in a way to tell a lie, as the FinancialSense.com website link you posted demonstrates. If you have nothing better to do, try reading the ZeroHedge website and find as many deliberate distortions and lies as you can in each article - it's not hard.

Like their recent story of "an Australian tax on capital in bank accounts" which in the US we describe as the FDIC insurance premiums paid by every bank based on their deposit base and risk undertaken in their loan portfolio.

It's silly that people continually repost this nonsense entertainment on investment forums.
