Europol’s ‘Biggest Bust’ Was a Honeypot from Day One
In this video, we break down what really happened in Europol’s so-called “biggest drug bust in European history”, Operation BULUT. But we don’t just parrot headlines. We dissect the timeline, analyze the surveillance tactics, and expose how the entire case relied on long-term data collection, not cutting-edge cracking. This is a story about how governments create, bait, and harvest criminal networks using honeypots like ANOM and Sky ECC. It’s about how they sit on years of intercepted communication, then flex with mass arrests timed for maximum media impact.

We also talk about the rising normalization of surveillance in Europe. From dragnet crypto seizures without charges, to laws forcing apps like Signal to scan your messages by default. We cover real examples of journalists and citizens being jailed for memes or speech. You’ll hear about ridiculous asset seizures, twisted legal logic, and the deeper strategy behind these “victories.”
