❗❗❗Sono 25 gli ex diplomatici italiani che hanno lanciato un appello per chiedere la liberazione di Julian Assange e contro l’estradizione negli USA. Il giornalista e editore di WikiLeaks è attualmente rinchiuso nel carcere di massima sicurezza inglese di Belrmash come se fosse un terrorista o un feroce criminale. La sua unica colpa, invece, è quella di aver rivelato all’opinione pubblica mondiale i crimini di guerra commessi da USA e Gran Bretagna in primis, nelle guerre in Iraq e Afghanistan. Se fosse estradato negli Stati Uniti, Assange rischierebbe una pena detentiva fino a 175 anni di carcere. Si potrebbe definire un ergastolo, ma nei fatti è un’esecuzione capitale date le condizioni psicofisiche del fondatore di WikiLeaks.

Russophobia and Ukrainian bullying have obnubilated minds to the point that even Russian critics of the Kremlin are being denied a platform. Hard times ahead for those who made a career out of demonizing their own country. The West no longer needs them because it already has legions of Ukrainians and other certified Russophobes on its payroll to do just that. @LauraRuHK

Canada is flirting with Nazism in more than one way. Besides supporting the Kiev regime with a passion that borders on insanity, harshly repressing those who protested against the Covid "vaccine" mandate a year ago, it is also actively pushing a eugenics agenda: the old, the poor, the disabled, the homeless are increasingly portrayed as a burden and euthanasia is openly proposed as a solution. @LauraRuHK https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/canada-maid-assisted-suicide-homeless

Smartphones with Qualcomm chips were found to send private user information, including IP address, unique ID, mobile country code, back to the U.S. chipmaker, according to a report by the German security company Nitrokey.

Such personal information was sent "without user consent, unencrypted, and even when using a Google-free Android distribution," said the report.

Nitrokey tested with a Sony Xperia XA2 smartphone which was equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 chip and installed /e/OS, an open-source version of Android free of Google services.

No SIM-card was inserted in the phone, nor was the GPS location service turned on.

The company monitored the data with Wireshark, a network traffic software, and found that the data will be transmitted to izatcloud.net server, which attributes to Qualcomm. (Source:CGTN) @LauraRuHK

The planned Quad summit in Sydney, scheduled for May 24, has been canceled as Biden is busy putting out the financial fire of a possible debt default at home and the US is racked by increasingly severe domestic upheaval. The cancellation of the Sydney summit is a bad omen for Quad (Australia, USA, India and Japan) an alliance that was created to contain China's global rise.

Lü Xiang, a research fellow at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said: "When calling off its participation in Quad Sydney summit, the US is just like someone who used to be loaded, going on a shopping spree, cramming the shopping cart, but suddenly realizes, on the way to the checkout counter, his credit card may be declined. In other words, the US is failing to financially afford its global strategic objectives, which not only require huge amount of money, but is also confrontation-centered and against the trend of the times."
Lü added that there is also growing discussion in Australia about whether the country is bearing the cost of an expensive mistake over the AUKUS submarine deal, and if Australia will benefit or just be exploited by the US.

When more and more such discussions, speculations, and doubts emerge, the dynamic of Quad will only decline. The cancellation of the Sydney summit is a fatal blow to Quad and foreshadows the fate of other US-led anti-China cliques. @LauraRuHK

Il previsto vertice del Quad a Sydney, che avrebbe dovuto tenersi il 24 maggio, è stato cancellato perché Biden deve occuparsi di un possibile default del debito nazionale e gli Stati Uniti stanno affrontando problemi interni sempre più gravi. La cancellazione del vertice di Sydney è un cattivo presagio per il Quad (Australia, Stati Uniti, India e Giappone), un'alleanza creata per contenere l'ascesa globale della Cina.

Lü Xiang, ricercatore presso l'Accademia cinese delle scienze sociali, ha dichiarato: "Annullando la propria partecipazione al vertice Quad di Sydney, gli Stati Uniti sono come chi un tempo era pieno di soldi, va a fare la spesa, riempie il carrello, ma all'improvviso si accorge, mentre si dirige verso la cassa, che la sua carta di credito potrebbe essere rifiutata. In altre parole, gli USA non hanno abbastanza risorse finanziarie per sostenere le loro ambizioni strategiche, che non solo richiedono un'enorme quantità di denaro, ma sono anche incentrate sul confronto invece che sulla collaborazione, vale a dire sono l'esatto opposto della strategia cinese."
Lü ha aggiunto che in Australia si sta discutendo se il Paese non abbia fatto un costoso errore firmando un accordo con AUKUS sul sottomarino a propulsione nucleare e se l'Australia ne trarrà vantaggio o se sarà solo sfruttata dagli Stati Uniti.

Quando emergono discussioni e dubbi di questo tipo, significa che la strada del Quad non potrà che essere in salita. La cancellazione del vertice di Sydney è un colpo mortale per il Quad e prefigura il destino di altre cricche anti-Cina guidate dagli Stati Uniti. @LauraRuHK

The China-Central Asia Summit is under way in Xi'an. Li Yongquan, director of the Eurasian Social Development Research at the Development Research Center of the State Council: "for 30 years, Central Asia has been situated in a complicated geopolitical situation. One of the reasons why regional countries can thrive is because China and Russia have cooperated on maintaining safety and stability in the region. China and Russia have a shared interest on this issue." Read more here https://t.me/LauraRuHK/4948

US think tank admits that the West has no chance to cut off Russia’s access to foreign-made technology despite sanctions. "Russia’s permanent seat on the UNSC has guaranteed the failure of any efforts to push for comprehensive UN sanctions and continues to provide political cover for jurisdictions like Hong Kong and the UAE to resist pressure to cooperate with Western countries. This, combined with Hong Kong’s posture as a busy shipping port that is inherently difficult to monitor, has given the Hong Kong government plausible deniability when accused of supporting Russia’s war machine. There is no clear answer to how Western countries should deal with nonaligned countries in the Global South that wish to stay out of what they perceive as a great power competition, but one thing should be clear: Hong Kong has taken the side of the emerging China-Russia axis."🥂@LauraRuHK

The trans-Atlantic neoliberal cabal known as the Bilderberg Group is meeting now at a secret location in Lisbon (Pestana Palace)

Participants include NATO's Stoltenberg, Ukraine's Kuleba, Kissinger, Peter Thiel, Palantir's Karp, Pfizer CEO Bourla, neocon Nord Stream bombing power couple Anne Applebaum and Radoslav Sikorski, Canada's Chrystia Freeland, the Dutch and Danish PM's, and members of the media who've pledged not to cover the event.

📍G7 Hiroshima Summit: Fading Bloc Sticking to Its Guns to Contain China, Russia. 📍G7 Doesn't Want to Share Power With Anyone.
Despite its influence on global politics shrinking, the G7 is not seeking to increase cooperation with other emerging blocs and formats, such as BRICS or the SCO. Earlier attempts to expand membership were predicated on the idea that other nations would share the goals of this Western bloc pretty much completely. That assumption proved to be mistaken.
Instead of stretching its hand out to other nations, the G7 is sticking together in order to cooperate against other powers – most notably Russia and China – and is using its combined might to contain them.
To expand the G7 format would mean sharing power and influence, and there are a myriad of logical reasons why cooperation with other major players makes sense in the real world. But real world considerations are not getting a look in; the clique running the USA and its client states are second and third-rate players who went into politics out of pure self-interest and because they lacked the talent to get to the top in more productive fields of endeavor. Once in that clique, they fall victim to the perils of 'group think.' The G7 is unlikely to collapse, instead, its influence and prestige is likely to shrink until it becomes a regionally important player, one of the several poles of the multipolar world that is now emerging before our fascinated eyes.
What unites G7 countries today? They are all very developed countries with aging populations that risk economic stagnation. Some of them have become dependent on immigration to forestall this issue coming to a head. Some have partly de-industrialized. Thus, they still face many common economic challenges.

⚡️Zelensky's travelling circus has scheduled dates in Saudi Arabia e Japan. The Ukrainian performer will attend the Arab League summit and then fly to the G7 summit to shore up support for his act. Apparently he prefers foreign audiences. @LauraRuHK

Un paio di giorni fa la commissione Esteri della Camera ha deliberato all’unanimità un’indagine conoscitiva sulle tematiche relative alla proiezione dell’Italia e dei Paesi europei nell’Indo-Pacifico, proposta dal vicepresidente Paolo Formentini della Lega, che ha ottenuto sostegno bipartisan con il lavoro dell’altro vicepresidente, Lia Quartapelle del Partito Democratico. Ricordo a chi non li conoscesse che questi due personaggi, indipendentemente dalle loro affiliazioni politiche, sono uniti da una profonda sinofobia, entrambi fanno parte di coalizioni interparlamentari anti-cinesi oltre che essere membri di lobby USA. Nel 2019 si erano espressi contro l'adesione dell'Italia alla Belt & Road Initiative, la nuova Via della Seta, avevano sostenuto le violente proteste orchestrate dagli USA a Hong Kong, chiesto sanzioni contro esponenti del governo di Hong Kong, sottoscritto e amplificato tutte le falsita' che circolano su Tibet e Xinjiang. @LauraRuHK

Protesters took to the streets of Hiroshima with slogans like "Against the Hiroshima summit!", "No to the imperialist G7 summit!", "No to nuclear war!", "No to war and invasion of China!", "No to aggressive war with China!"

In places it seems there are more police than demonstrators. It seems they are heading to the Atomic Bomb Dome (the pre-1945 exhibition centre of the Hiroshima Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the only surviving building near the epicentre of the nuclear explosion).https://t.me/rian_ru/203144

Taiwan may pay an ‘unthinkable’ price for accepting free US weapons, says former defence minister - US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin confirmed recently that the Pentagon would send “additional security assistance” free of charge to the island. “If you suddenly receive such free aid, you need to pay a certain unthinkable price,” Feng told reporters on Thursday when asked to comment on the plan.Beijing has warned the US and other countries not to provide military aid or have exchanges with Taiwan, something it views as a breach of its sovereignty. Earlier this month, the White House said it would send US$500 million worth of free military aid to Taiwan after deliveries of American weapons, including Stinger missiles and F-16V fighter jets, were delayed.
According to Republican Congresswoman Young Kim, the value of the items Taiwan is waiting for has now reached US$21 billion. The US authorised the sale of 250 Stingers to Taiwan in 2019 but the shoulder-mounted missiles have been in demand in Ukraine.
The US State Department has said that the backlog is due to the limited production capacity of the country’s defence industry.
On Tuesday, Austin told Congress the US would soon provide certain weapons to Taiwan for free under the same emergency aid programme being used for Ukraine. Taiwan’s Defence Minister Chiu Kuo-cheng said last Monday that the US had been in talks with the island for several months over the type of free weapons that would be provided.
“These extra weapons will be given to us for free and will not be deducted from the purchase list which has been delayed by the US,” Chiu said, adding they would include missiles and some logistic services to help train soldiers in how to use the weapons. https://www.scmp.com/news/china/politics/article/3221034/taiwan-may-pay-unthinkable-price-accepting-free-us-weapons-says-former-defence-minister

Oggi e' atterrato a Tbilisi il primo volo diretto Mosca-Tbilisi dopo 4 anni di sospensione.
