Remember, it's influence if the source isn't hidden ;)

Splitting hairs but does a Molotov cocktail count as a “bombing”? Still bad shit, still worth noting/ counting/condemning, but just asking as a wordsmithing question.

Kinda hard to keep the scandals sorted, for sure, without a program :( Based on PP's quote from the podcast interview .... ... sounds more like the Aga Khan shitshow, with the RCMP dropping the thing because the rules weren't clear - this from Macleans of the time (yellow highlights mine)...

Like troops voting in “Starship Troopers,” you don’t get it if you don’t come back, right?

That's around $107K Canadian as of this post - not bad, indeed, especially in the USSR 2.0 economy.
