"China's National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center and cybersecurity company 360 jointly released an investigation report on Thursday, revealing the long-standing use of cyber attacks by the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) against other countries. (...) The CIA is not only an intelligence agency, but also a tool for the US to incite "peaceful evolution" and "color revolution," even to achieve regime change through violence. It is like a syringe filled with viruses, silently stabbing countries with a hidden needle and leaving a festering wound. All other countries need to be on the highest level of alert to CIA's operations at all times, because if it gets its way, the consequences will likely be unbearable.

Over the years, the US has launched "color revolutions" through the CIA around the world. Washington does not care how much social unrest it causes and how painful the price the local people pay. No matter how many people die, it is just a number to Washington, not to mention other damages. All the US cares about is whether the person who comes to power is a puppet that obeys US' orders." https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202305/1290160.shtml

<The US' leading position in technologies of telecommunication and on-site command has provided unprecedented possibilities for the US intelligence community to launch "color revolutions" abroad. The report released by the National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center and 360 disclosed five methods commonly used by the CIA.

The first is to provide encrypted network communication services. In order to help protesters in some countries in the Middle East keep in touch and avoid being tracked and arrested, an American company, which, reportedly, has a US military background, developed TOR technology that can stealthily access the internet -- the Onion Router technology.

The servers encrypt all information that flows through them to help certain users to surf the web anonymously. After the project was launched by American companies, it was immediately provided free of charge to anti-government elements in Iran, Tunisia, Egypt and other countries and regions to ensure that those "young dissidents who want to shake their own government's rule" can avoid the scrutiny of the government, according to the report.

The second method is to provide offline communication services. For example, in order to ensure that anti-government personnel in Tunisia, Egypt and other countries can still keep in touch with the outside world when the internet is disconnected, Google and Twitter quickly launched a special service called "Speak2Tweet," which allows users to dial and upload voice notes for free.

These messages are automatically converted into tweets and then uploaded to the internet, and publicly released through Twitter and other platforms to complete the "real-time reporting" of the event on site, said the report.

The third method is to provide on-site command tools for rallies and parades based on the internet and wireless communications. The report noted that the US RAND Corporation has spent several years developing a non-traditional regime change technology called "swarming." The tool is used to help a large number of young people connected through the internet join the "one shot for another place" mobile protest movement, greatly improving the efficiency of on-site command of the event.

The fourth is American developed software called "Riot." The software supports 100 percent independent broadband network, provides variable WiFi network, does not rely on any traditional physical access method, does not need telephone, cable or satellite connection, and can easily escape any form of government monitoring.

The last one is the "anti-censorship" information system. The US State Department regards the research and development of the system as an important task and has injected more than $30 million into the project.> https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202305/1290090.shtml

Before 1989 Eastern Europeans defected to the West to start a new life. Now Western Europeans are desperate to leave Borrell's Garden. A French man pulled up at the Grzechotki checkpoint which separates northern Poland from the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad, but was turned away as he lacked the proper documents to leave Poland. Apparently leaving the EU is not as easy as you think.

The man turned back, but returned to the checkpoint in the afternoon.

This time, he accelerated and rammed his Citroen through the barrier, before stopping when border guards deployed a spike strip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3MotSgvEHQ&t=2s

🇺🇸🇮🇹Kevin McCarthy's first official trip abroad since he was appointed Speaker of the US House of Representatives in January includes a visit to Italy. Why is Rome the only European capital he planned to visit in his Mediterranean tour, after Egypt, Jordan and Israel? The Republican leader is leading a bipartisan delegation from the US Congress and has a full agenda of meetings in Rome: Giorgia Meloni, Prime Minister, Sergio Mattarella, President of the Republic, and his counterpart Lorenzo Fontana, Speaker of the House.

Italy is seen as a strategic hub for the Mediterranean, a sea at the intersection of three continents. The US has long laid claim to this region, and considers it crucial to its attempts to contain Russia and China.
Mc Carthy's visit was prepared by US officials who put pressure on Meloni and her government not to renew the Memorandum of Understanding on the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) signed in 2019 by then-Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte. Giorgia Meloni hasn't made a mystery of her opposition to the Memorandum. The BRI is a global infrastructure development project that runs through the continents of Asia, Europe and Africa, connecting the vibrant East Asia economic circle at one end and developed European economic circle at the other, and encompassing countries with huge potential for economic development. Italy would have benefitted tremendously from investments in its underfunded, aging infrastructure, and Trieste and Genova ports would have received a considerable boost by becoming hubs for Euro-Asiatic connection. Unfortunately the current Italian government is more concerned on pleasing its Atlanticist master than supporting the country's economy and development. @LauraRuHK

Ramzan Kadyrov: "The attack on the Kremlin is nothing less than a provocation to force an escalation - a favourite technique of modern hybrid warfare and Western generals, the results of which are beneficial to the provocateurs themselves.

The chain of statements and veiled media blasts that followed was intended to stir ambitions and push the Russian Supreme Commander-in-Chief to carry out a brutal retaliation in Ukraine, such as the carpet-bombing of cities. This would then be used for a media campaign focusing on civilian casualties and the Nazis in Kiev would be cast as victims.

I admire Vladimir Vladimirovich's restraint and wisdom in not giving in to this vile provocation. But the organizers of this attack will have to answer for it, no matter where on Earth they are. Not today, not tomorrow, but those involved will suffer a just punishment. It is too early for it now. Early, because justice in the world community today is buried under the interests of the aggressor country, the only one of its kind in the world, which for years has bent the institutions of independence, interests and rights of other countries.

One of the tasks of today's Russia and its allies is to rebuild the world's institutions of justice so that they become impartial and independent again. This is bound to happen, and finally, the unipolarity and puppet status of entire countries will come to an end. That is when there will be a full-fledged demand from every participant, perpetrator and organiser.

That is why today's provocation should not and will not change the scenario of the planned course of the special military operation. Yes, it is an attack on the President, and therefore on the State and, consequently, on all the people of the Russian Federation. But it must not affect our intended plans and interests. Retaliation, of course, will come. And it will be surgical and precise." https://t.me/SolovievLive/175939

🇬🇪 Georgian prime minister spoke out against the LGBT agenda of the West

📝 “How do the forces that oppose freedom, truth, try to achieve their goals? It is through the destruction of traditional, family values and coercion to false freedom. For example, through LGBTQ+ propaganda, attempts to legalize gender reassignment for children bypassing parents.

So-called "innovations" are imposed, which should tear people away from their roots, family, traditions, culture and history. It is easy to manage such a person who has forgotten his history, faith - a rootless person.

We defend the rights of the majority, for whom the family is a union between a man and a woman. Where the woman is the mother and the man is the father. We defend the rights of the absolute majority of our population.

The absolute majority of our society shares these conservative family values,” said Irakli Garibashvili at an anti-LGBT forum in Budapest.

The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), a Eurasian political, economic, and security bloc founded in 2001, has great potential to become a United Nations for the non-Western world, according to Robinder Sachdev, geopolitical and economic diplomacy analyst and founder president of the Imagindia Institute.

The two-day summit of the SCO foreign ministers kicked off on May 4 in the Indian state of Goa. The SCO foreign ministers are due to focus on the expansion of the organization.

Currently, the organization consists of eight permanent members, namely, China, India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan; and nine dialogue partners – Armenia, Azerbaijan, Cambodia, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Turkiye, Egypt, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia.

Our infographic shows the comparison of the total population of the SCO and the collective West.

Like a phoenix from its ashes. These are Mariupol's new neighbourhoods.

The phrase "Soviet pace" came up in conversation.
Mariupol is being rebuilt at a Soviet pace! That is, as fast as possible. https://t.me/annarevyakina/5258

US integrates Taiwan into biggest spy alliance in history

Tsai Ming-yen, director general of Taiwan's National Security Bureau, said the island exchanges real-time data with the Five Eyes Alliance (FVEY), which includes the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. According to him, the greatest danger is the information that Chinese President Xi Jinping is increasingly surrounding himself with like-minded people who support the idea of "1 country, 2 systems."

"They (FVEY) also share information with us. So we have a kind of cooperation with our international friends on China's military movements," said Tsai Ming-yen.

Despite all the warnings from the PRC, the US is rapidly pushing Taiwan into war. Whatever the Americans say, they are deliberately escalating the conflict. Therefore, now, in addition to pumping the island with weapons and sending military instructors, the United States is integrating the Republic of China into its intelligence networks.

In Estonia, paese dell'Europa "libera, democratica e tollerante", si viene puniti con una multa fino a 1200 euro se si osa festeggiare la vittoria sul nazi-fascismo con le bandiere del maggiore artefice di tale vittoria (URSS), con il tricolore del paese che ne ha raccolto l'eredita' (Russia), o con i vessilli delle Repubbliche Popolari del Donbass che dal 2014 combattono i neo-nazi ucraini. L'Unione Sovietica pago' il prezzo piu' alto per sconfiggere la Germania nazista, 27 milioni di morti, e oggi i nipoti e i pronipoti di chi inneggiava al Führer riscrivono la storia d'Europa. @LauraRuHK https://t.me/kremlinprachka/24102

⚡️Chilean/US blogger and writer Gonzalo Lira, who covered events in Ukraine, has been arrested by the SBU in Kharkov. He is accused of "justifying Russian aggression", "discrediting the Armed Forces of Ukraine and filming provocative videos".

Since the beginning of the SMO, Lira has been running his blog, in which he talks about Kyiv's war crimes against civilians, and also criticizes Ukrainian officials, US President Joseph Biden and NATO. In April last year, he had been detained by the SBU and then released. Let's hope his ordeal will be over soon. (Source: Readovka) @LauraRuHK

Soros-owned firm poised to buy Vice Media – WSJ
The reported $400 million deal will buy out all but one of the outlet’s major stockholders

Soros Fund Management, the principal asset manager of billionaire currency speculator George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, is poised to rescue floundering news outlet Vice Media from bankruptcy, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the deal.

Alongside hedge fund Fortress Investment Group, Soros’ company is reportedly in talks to purchase Vice for $400 million in a deal that would wipe out the stakes of other investors, including private equity firm TPG Group and News Corp scion James Murdoch.

Insider sources told the WSJ that Fortress would keep Vice’s current management in place while finding a role for co-founder Shane Smith, who is currently executive chairman of Vice Media.

The magazine, a woke establishment darling, is planning a bankruptcy sale as early as next week, the sources claimed, with other buyout offers deemed distinctly unlikely.

It’s a sharp change from just two months ago, when Vice was fielding multiple $400 million bids from prospective buyers, including media collectives Group Black and GoDigital. However, Vice’s lenders disapproved of the terms, which would have left them still holding some debt.

Soros and Fortress were part of a consortium that invested $250 million in Vice in 2019, a capital infusion aimed at turning around the company’s fortunes as it began to falter after being valued at a whopping $5.7 billion in 2017. Subsequent strategic shifts apparently didn’t solve its problems, however, and the New York Times reports that Vice is now worth “a tiny fraction of that.”

The news of Vice’s looming takeover comes just days after the outlet announced it would be closing its Vice World News arm. (Source: RT) @LauraRuHK

Russia & US On Verge Of ‘Open Armed Conflict’ – Moscow

After the recent drone incident at the Kremlin, which Moscow has called a US-backed attempt by Ukraine to assassinate President Vladimir Putin, the US and Russia are on the verge of a shooting war with each other, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov has warned.

“We are working on preventing a fall of our relations with the US into the abyss of an open armed conflict,” he said in a TV interview on Friday. “We are already on the verge of this abyss.”

At the moment, “no real diplomacy” regarding the Ukraine conflict is possible between the two nations, because the US “has bet on further escalation. The US has long been a direct participant in the conflict and has long been waging an open hybrid war against my nation," Ryabkov added.

A day after the Republican Speaker of the US Lower House, the notorious "China hawk" Kevin Mc Carthy, met Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, President Sergio Mattarella and his Italian counterpart Lorenzo Fontana in Rome, Wang Lutong, head of the European Affairs Department of Beijing’s Foreign Ministry, travelled to Italy to discuss the renewal of the Belt and Road Initiative memorandum and arrange the Italian leaders’ visit to Beijing.
The Chinese diplomat met with Deputy Foreign Minister Edmondo Cirielli and several officials from the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Talks centred on the countries’ partnership and the Belt and Road Initiative, as well as Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and President Sergio Mattarella’s future visits to Beijing.
Mr Wang’s visit comes at a crucial time, with Italy dealing with the upcoming renewal of the BRI Memorandum of Understanding and two weeks before the G-7 summit in Hiroshima, Japan, where the Atlanticist bloc will expect the Italian government to toe the official line with regards to China: militarization of the Asia-Pacific and containment of China under the guise of the schizophrenic mantra "de-risking without de-coupling". @LauraRuHK

From China's World

For seven decades and counting, a favorite Western trope has been "draconian" restrictions on "information freedom" in China.

Never, however, is a primary cause of the strictness ever mentioned: the West's own relentless efforts to penetrate, propagandize and subvert Chinese minds.

Today, awareness worldwide has grown that such infowar is a core weapon of the Empire against its designated enemies.

"Recently, an article appeared in the Wall Street Journal bemoaning the announcement of new restrictions in China on foreign access to official information and databases.

"Denouncing the new rules as a 'black box around information,' the WSJ leans on the notion that this is bad for business, which is often the conclusion Western media outlets make these days when criticizing anything from Beijing.

"The article doesn’t elaborate on why China made the move... It spends most of its time describing Beijing as becoming more authoritarian under Xi Jinping, depicting it as paranoid and secretive while downplaying the reality that the US, in many instances backed by Western media, is actively striving to undermine China."
