Inflation in Russia in early May slowed to 2.3% per annum, which is the lowest figure among all European countries - Mishustin

Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin at a plenary meeting at the Russian-Chinese business forum in Shanghai noted that the unemployment rate in Russia is at a record low and is only 3.5%.

The Prime Minister also stated:

- Russia, despite the unprecedented scale of sanctions pressure from the West, continues its progressive development, and building up ties with China will benefit the economies of both countries;

- The Russian Federation represents a great opportunity for almost any business, and it is glad to have partners from friendly countries, including China;

- Russia is counting on the expansion of air communication with China and the development of other transport routes, including more active use of the potential of the Northern Sea Route as the shortest route from Asia to Europe;

— Russia and China in 2023 will reach a trade turnover of $200 billion.

Ottimo articolo di Clara Statello, che mostra per la milionesima volta come la democrazia liberale si sia trasformata in un macromeccanismo di propaganda e censura senza pudore.
Che questo possa piacere a Giorgia Meloni e Ignazio La Russa non fa una grinza, rientra nel cliché.
Rimane la mia curiosità di dove si siano infilati la coscienza tutti i liberali, libertari gandhiani, democratici e sinistrorsi che, proprio come con la pandemia, si distinguono per il loro silenzio accondiscendente (quando non per il plauso venerante al potere).

Black Rock is going to swallow Ukraine - by Valentin Katasonov

...For three decades, foreign capital has quietly taken over the natural resources of the "square"...Continued

The Financial Times has published an op-ed saying that the G7 no longer rules the world, and the time of American hegemony and economic dominance is over. Some repositioning of Western financial elites is to be expected, as they have realized that driving a wedge between China and Russia is much harder than they thought, and if they antagonize China and the rest of the world their profits will plunge. Betting on the US and its European vassals to defeat Russia and contain China suddenly seems like a pretty foolish course of action. So they'd rather spread their bets. @LauraRuHK https://www.ft.com/content/c8cf024d-87b7-4e18-8fa2-1b8a3f3fbba1

Rocchelli, nove anni senza giustizia

Nel pomeriggio del 24 maggio del 2014 dal Karachun, un colle nei pressi di Slavyansk (dove allora si trovava la linea del fronte in Donbass), i militari ucraini aprirono il fuoco verso un gruppo di giornalisti che si trovavano di fronte a loro sul lato opposto del fronte, consapevoli del fatto che si trattava di persone disarmate. Sotto i colpi di mortaio sparati dai militari ucraini quel giorno morirono Andy Rocchelli, fotoreporter italiano, e il suo interprete Andrei Mironov.

Negli anni a seguire in Italia verrà arrestato Vitaly Markiv, un sergente della Guardia Nazionale ucraina accusato di aver preso parte alle azioni che hanno causato la morte di Rocchelli e Mironov. Arresto che il Ministero dell’Interno ucraino definì fu una “provocazione russa”.

Dopo la condanna in primo grado, la Corte d’Appello di Milano confermò la responsabilità ucraina dell’accaduto ritenendo che “l'attacco ha avuto luogo senza alcuna provocazione e offensiva, né da parte loro (dei reporter, n.d.r) né dei filorussi", appurando di fatto "l'intenzione di eliminare" i giornalisti. Eppure Markiv è tornato in patria come un eroe dopo essere stato assolto perché, oltre ogni ragionevole dubbio e per vizi di forma, non è stato possibile confermare che nel corso di quei 60 minuti (circa) in cui si sono svolti i fatti il sergente ucraino fosse effettivamente di turno presso le postazioni dalle quali è stato aperto il fuoco.

⚡️The commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Valery Zaluzhny, suffered a head injury and shrapnel wounds as a result of a Russian missile strike on a command post near Kherson in early May, a representative of Russian law enforcement agencies told RIA Novosti, citing his sources in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
According to him, Zaluzhny was taken to Mykolaiv to provide first aid, and from there by helicopter to a military hospital in Kiev. In the Kiev military hospital, he underwent a craniotomy, the source said.

He added that the condition of the commander-in-chief is complicated by the presence of a concomitant disease - diabetes mellitus of the second type.

"The prognosis is this: he will live, but he will not be able to do his job," the security official concluded.
Some time ago, Zaluzhny stopped appearing in public. So, on May 10, it became known that he refused to take part in a meeting of the NATO Military Committee at the level of chiefs of staff. Then there were rumors that he was wounded or even killed. Deputy Defense Minister Anna Malyar claimed that the commander-in-chief continues to perform his duties.
According to the hacker group "Joker of the DPR", citing sources in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Zaluzhny underwent several complex operations and may resign for health reasons. According to hackers, information about his condition is deliberately blocked at the insistence of Kiev's Western curators so as not to undermine the spirit already demoralized by the loss of Artemovsk.
On May 23, a post appeared on Zaluzhnyi's Telegram channel stating that he had a telephone conversation with the commander of the NATO Joint Armed Forces in Europe and the commander of the American army in Europe, General Christopher Cavoli. At the same time, no photo or video frames of the commander-in-chief himself were published. (Source: RIA Novosti) @LauraRuHK

Leggendo i commenti di persone che si definiscono resistenti, dissidenti, anti-sistema, combattenti per la verita', ecc. spesso noto due tendenze, entrambe pericolose. Vi e' chi considera il gruppo BRICS una sorta di Internazionale degli oppressi che magicamente sconfiggera' "i piani satanici delle elite occidentali", intesi come transumanesimo, schiavitu' digitale, obbligo vaccinale e quant'altro sia in cima alla lista delle loro preoccupazioni. Poi in posizione opposta e speculare vi sono quelli che considerano i BRICS parte di un complotto per asservire ancora di piu' la popolazione mondiale, Xi Jinping starebbe cospirando con i Dem americani, l'OMS, Bill Gates e perche' no, anche Klaus Schwab. Tutti insieme appassionatamente elaborerebbero piani per imporre il Great Reset e il Nuovo Ordine Mondiale. Purtroppo queste narrazioni fantasiose fanno presa su chi non conosce il gruppo BRICS e non si e' mai preoccupato di approfondire che cosa sia e che cosa faccia. Questo e' il motivo per cui gli vengono attribuiti poteri e funzioni che non ha mai preteso di avere. In poche righe per non scrivere un saggio, potrei dire che le intenzioni dei paesi fondatori di questo gruppo sono molto chiare e limpide: creare rapporti piu' equi tra gli stati, favorire gli scambi (economici, commerciali, culturali, accademici...) e gli investimenti. Tutto cio' ha come inevitabile risultato quello di porre un argine all'egemonia USA permettendo cosi' ai vari stati membri di difendere meglio i propri interessi nazionali. La de-dollarizzazione e' una delle reazioni all'uso del dollaro come arma da parte degli USA e il frutto di una maggiore consapevolezza dei benefici che commerciare nelle valute nazionali apporta ai vari paesi. Ultimamente si parla anche di creare una moneta comune per facilitare i pagamenti, visto che i tassi di scambio delle valute nazionali cambiano in continuazione. BRICS non e' un'organizzazione rivoluzionaria per la liberazione del proletariato o di qualche minoranza oppressa. All'interno di ogni stato sono i rapporti di forza tra le classi e i gruppi di potere a determinare la forma di governo e la distribuzione della ricchezza prodotta. Non e' che aderendo ai BRICS+ uno stato diventa magicamente socialista o democratico o tecno-fascista. Non siamo nel Paese delle Meraviglie. Nessuno puo' delegare ad organismi transnazionali il lavoro politico, duro e quotidiano, che una reale liberazione richiede. @LauraRuHK

US-China relations have been rocky in recent years, and neo-con/neo-lib China hawks gained a lot of clout, first in the Trump administration, and then in the Biden one. Have they overplayed their hand and caused more damage to US interests than to China? Is the US going to change tack in its efforts to "contain", that is weaken, China? Only time will tell. In the meantime some reshuffling is taking place. The U.S. State Department's top China policy official Rick Waters is stepping down. Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman, who has driven much of the department's approach toward China, announced on May 12 that she is retiring.

And a former top official for China on Biden's National Security Council, Laura Rosenberger, stepped down earlier this year. @LauraRuHK https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/us-state-departments-top-china-policy-official-to-step-down-sources/ar-AA1bEwr3

Putin has created another air hub for Russians.

"We will start on June 15. We'll see how it goes. But we think there will be sufficient demand on these routes. Through Tbilisi it will be more convenient and faster than on other routes: Georgian Airways is launching transit flights for Russians through Tbilisi to Europe. The flights will go to Milan, Paris, Vienna, Larnaca and Thessaloniki."

Hungary to assume EU presidency in 2024 despite attempts at hindrance

The European Parliament's decision to consider a resolution to prevent Budapest's EU presidency in 2024 is a political action by left-wing lawmakers, but Hungary will still take over the presidency, the Hungarian government told Sputnik on Thursday.

On Wednesday, Hungarian Justice Minister Judit Varga said that the European Parliament intended to vote on a resolution to prevent Budapest's EU presidency, scheduled for the second half of 2024.

"This is just another political action by the European left. Hungary is a full member of the European Union. It has already held the presidency of the European Council, so the same will happen in 2024," the government said.

Il ribaltamento della realta'. Dopo che la Cina e' stata vittima di ripetuti attacchi di guerra batteriologica (SARS nel 2003 e SARS-CoV-2 nel 2019, influenza aviaria e peste suina) attacchi finalizzati ad ostacolare la sua ascesa economica, indebolire e rovesciare il suo governo, la finta controinformazione ci racconta che in realta' la Cina farebbe parte di una cospirazione delle elite globaliste che avrebbero individuato nel paese asiatico l'avanguardia dei loro piani diabolici per attuare il Great Reset. Ovviamente ignorano gli sforzi che la dirigenza del partito comunista cinese ha fatto per epurare funzionari corrotti filo-occidentali, e tirare le redini a chi aveva ammassato enorme potere grazie al controllo del settore Fin-Tech. Ignorano anche lo stato non proprio roseo delle relazioni tra gli USA e la Cina, le provocazioni continue dell'Occidente sulla questione di Taiwan, il fatto che gli USA considerino la Cina un avversario strategico e che abbiano destinato enormi risorse per condurre una guerra ibrida contro il paese. Niente, sono impermeabili ai fatti. Secondo loro Cina ed elite occidentali stanno collaborando per schiavizzare il mondo e la prova provata sarebbero i pagamenti digitali di Alipay (chi li ha mai usati in Italia??) le telecamere per il riconoscimento facciale (ai governi occidentali e' stato vietato l'acquisto di telecamere di sorveglianza di produzione cinese!) la citta' di 15 minuti (esperimento tentato a Oxford, non in Cina) il credito sociale (che i cinesi non sanno neppure cosa sia), il lockdown (che in Cina non e' servito per imporre vaccinazioni, che sono sempre rimaste una scelta personale, con vaccini tradizionali di produzione nazionale). Se ci fosse stato un complotto con Big Pharma, la Cina avrebbe acquistato i sieri mRNA della Pfizer non avrebbe prodotto i propri. Invece di preoccuparsi di come pagano i cinesi, se con app sul telefono o contanti, gli italiani farebbero meglio a preoccuparsi di chi estrae ed usa i loro dati, di chi sorveglia i loro movimenti, transazioni e comunicazioni. Nella migliore delle ipotesi questa finta controinformazione attinge a fonti dell'alt-right americana senza citarle, nella peggiore e' una psyop del governo americano per seminare paura e sospetto nei confronti della Cina. Se conoscete l'inglese, questo articolo apparso sulla stampa mainstream di Hong Kong cita David Martin, se avete visto il documentario Plandemic conoscete il suo nome. Lui spiega qualcosa che in Italia viene censurato e bollato come fake news, vale a dire che il Covid e' stato creato da laboratori americani per imporre la vaccinazione. Si puo' essere d'accordo o meno con questa tesi, ma almeno qui se ne puo' parlare con pacatezza senza essere accusati di essere no-vax. @LauraRuHK https://www.thestandard.com.hk/section-news/section/11/252653/US-'intentionally-released-Covid-virus-in-Wuhan'-EU-summit-told

Archaeologists have located an underground research facility where Japanese military scientists conducted “horrific biological weapon experiments” on human subjects during World War II in northeast China.
The facility, near the city of Anda in Heilongjiang province, was the largest and most frequently used test site for the Japanese Imperial Army’s notorious Unit 731 that carried out some of the most brutal human experiments in history between 1935 and 1945.
Historical records show Unit 731’s experiments at the Anda site included infecting prisoners with deadly diseases and testing new biological weapons. Some of the most gruesome studies were conducted in underground bunkers designed to contain and control the spread of infectious agents.
Declassified documents later revealed the data was shared with US authorities in exchange for war crimes immunity and transferred to the US Army research centre at Fort Detrick, where it was used to develop biological weapons during the Cold War.
The Anda test field
Built in 1941, the Anda special test field was Unit 731’s largest, best equipped and most frequently used test site, according to the historical record. It was overseen by the Bacteriological Warfare Department which primarily experimented on living people held in special prisons.
The heavily guarded test field was surrounded by barbed wire fencing. Above-ground facilities included a runway, warehouses, barracks, wells and triangular metal frames used as bombing targets.

Laboratories, observation and dissection rooms, as well as holding cells were built underground to maintain secrecy and protect against air raids. The below-ground facilities included barracks, garages, bath houses, dining areas and wells, some connected by tunnels, the report said.
The Anda site was destroyed by Unit 731 in August 1945 along with other facilities to erase evidence of its experiments. “Most of the surface buildings were destroyed except for the runway,” according to the archaeologists.
The former commander of Unit 731’s Lin Kou branch, Sakaki Hayao, described an “extremely cruel” experiment conducted at Anda field just a few months before the Japanese surrender in his testimony to the Shenyang special military tribunal in 1956.
Hayao said he saw people tied to wooden poles and exposed to anthrax through bombs filled with the bacteria that were dropped from aircraft or detonated at close range. “It was an especially brutal act.”

After Japan’s surrender, the US granted immunity to the leaders of the covert unit and denied knowledge of its ghastly experiments on prisoners of war and civilians including men, women, children and even infants.
These are known to have included the dissection of living subjects, frostbite and syphilis testing, as well as exposing victims to deadly diseases. The unit’s researchers developed ways to weaponise bubonic plague, anthrax, cholera and typhoid fever.

There was public outrage and demands for accountability of Japan and the US when it was revealed in the 1990s that US government officials were aware of the programme and that its data was used in biological warfare development at Fort Detrick in Maryland.
Dark secrets to come
The researchers said their understanding of the underground facility is still preliminary, with much work still to be done before they fully understand the extent of the site.
A full excavation could potentially reveal more evidence of the brutal human experiments conducted by Unit 731, they said. @LauraRuHK
