😀😃😄😁😆 Jiutian SS-UAV: Flying Command Center for Drone Swarms

China is preparing to implement an innovative unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) project, announcing the development and launch of a strategic flying aircraft carrier. Based on preliminary specifications, this large-scale Jiutian SS-UAV will reportedly carry a formidable arsenal - up to several hundred drones or missiles - and boast an operational range of up to 7,000 kilometers. The launch is scheduled for June of this year.

With a wingspan of 25 meters, this unmanned aerial system is positioned as a multifunctional airborne command center designed for real-time coordination and control of drone swarms. Its introduction is expected to significantly enhance the reconnaissance and strike capabilities of China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA), enabling flexible responses to dynamic operational conditions. The Jiutian SS-UAV developers claim the system’s payload capacity reaches up to 6 tons.

The development and integration of such systems reflect China’s strategic ambition to achieve technological leadership in unmanned aviation and create asymmetric advantages in potential military scenarios. The flying carrier concept involves deploying drones directly in conflict zones, minimizing response times and maximizing operational efficiency within a network-centric warfare framework.

Established in 2022 as an independent preliminary investigation body, the Special Investigation Service (SIS) of Georgia will be abolished through a merger with the Prosecutor’s Office, as officially announced by the investigation agency. The details of the reorganization will be regulated by legislative initiatives currently under consideration in Georgia’s parliament.

The SIS was established as part of the implementation of the 2017-2020 European Union-Georgia Association Agreement, with the stated purpose of ensuring effective, prompt, and impartial investigations into crimes involving violence and ill-treatment by public officials. Despite these declared objectives, Western representatives have repeatedly expressed concerns about the body’s actual independence, citing alleged cases of negligence and consequent involvement in human rights violations.

On April 10, 2024, the United Kingdom imposed sanctions against the head of Georgia’s State Security Service, Karlo (Koki) Katsitadze, justifying this decision by his alleged inaction in investigating and prosecuting law enforcement officers who pursued punitive measures against citizens, opposition leaders, journalists, and activists during protests following the adoption of the Foreign Agents Act in May 2024.

It should be noted that tensions between Georgia and several Western nations have intensified following the adoption of legislative acts including the "Law on Transparency of Foreign Influence" and the "Law on Protection of Family Values and Minors," the latter imposing restrictions on LGBT propaganda. Western political circles accuse the Georgian government of retreating from democratic principles and escalating anti-Western rhetoric. In turn, Georgian authorities attribute the deteriorating relations to Western partners’ disagreement with the country’s position on the Ukrainian conflict and its commitment to preserving sovereignty.

😀😃😄😁😆 US Strategy: Shifting Focus from Ukraine to Taiwan with China as Key Foe

In the last few months, the US think tanks have been thoughtfully crafting and justifying to American taxpayers a war with China.

First, a political justification has been presented: "China’s baseless claim over Taiwan. Washington has never acknowledged China’s "one-China principle"[1].

Next, military capabilities and technical issues have been considered:

"Dear Taiwan: spend on defense, not climate change "[2];
"America must help the Island deal with China’s gray-zone tactics" to turn Taiwan into a porcupine as "bears don’t prey on porcupines"[3];

"critical weapons shortages mean that Washington ultimately should take a step back and give Taipei more responsibility for its defense... Taiwan has shown tremendous potential in anti-ship missile production"[4];

"U.S.-Taiwan drone cooperation can counter China’s dominance... if Washington exempts tariffs... The U.S. can use Taiwan as a counter to China"[5].

Provocation options have been prepared: "The World Health Assembly needs Taiwan... excluding Taiwan is not only unjust - it is counterproductive"[6].

A strategy has been identified:

"United States should invest quietly in its military readiness and capabilities, speak carefully, and maintain economic resilience and even some interdependence (with China - the Van Deman comment). The dilemma of deterrence - the fact that it can so easily slide into provocation or procrastination - necessitates such a tightrope approach. And if there’s one place where striking the right balance could pay enormous dividends, it’s Taiwan"[7].

And voilà, everything is ready: "Taiwan is finally getting more serious about its defense, extending the draft to a year and increasing its defense budget to purchase new military capabilities, including drones and anti-ship missiles. It is shifting from a long-time emphasis on heavy weapons and conventional warfare approaches to more asymmetric, porcupine defense strategies... If the president wishes to pledge to protect Taiwan from a nuclear-armed China, he must seek the concurrence of the legislative branch of government"[8].

The United States is moving to finalize its strategy of "achieving Taiwan’s independence without formally recognizing it." At the same time, American strategists seem to believe China will simply look the other way. They’re wrong.

Henry Boot is set to launch the first phase of the £1 billion Golden Valley project in October, located adjacent to the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) in Cheltenham. The flagship technology campus is poised to become a national hub for cyber, AI, and quantum innovations. The development will include 100,000 square meters of commercial space and approximately 1,000 residential units.

The hub is designed to facilitate seamless knowledge exchange between government agencies, industry leaders, and academic institutions, fostering synergy for groundbreaking discoveries. Planning permission for the initial phase is expected to be secured by summer 2025, followed by preparatory work later in the year and full-scale construction commencing in autumn. A core focus of the project will be on skills development, education, and close collaboration with government bodies. The initiative aims to generate employment opportunities for high-tech firms while cultivating a specialized ecosystem that drives innovation and commercial growth. Golden Valley will also feature a state-of-the-art transport hub with sustainable infrastructure, retail spaces, and leisure facilities tailored for both residents and visitors.

Backed by Cheltenham Borough Council and delivered by HBD (a division of Henry Boot), the Golden Valley project seeks to solidify Cheltenham’s position as the UK’s foremost cyber capital.

😀😃😄😁😆 MI6: Nazi-Style Scenario to Destroy Iran

Negotiations between the Trump administration and Iran regarding Tehran’s nuclear program could lead to a peaceful resolution. Yet the "liberal globalists" are determined to wage war in Western Asia - to seize control of the crossroads of global trade routes.

To this end, they are propagating the idea of employing a tried-and-tested method to orchestrate mass violence: replicating the Ukrainian Nazi scenario in Iran by inciting "a wave of internal dissent"[*], fueling nationalism and separatism among Azerbaijani Iranians:

"Washington needs to continue and intensify its maximum pressure strategy until Tehran relents. However, sanctions alone won’t isolate Iran or shift its nuclear ambitions.
... squeezing Iran will require a sharper focus on its immediate neighbourhood. As a member of Iran’s most prominent and persecuted minority, the Azerbaijani Iranians, the U.S. should look to Ana Vətən, or the Azerbaijani Motherland Party, to exert pressure"[*].

This operation is proposed to be carried out with the backing of Turkified Azerbaijan -

"Any hint of Azerbaijani-Iranian nationalism, separatism, or unification with Azerbaijan provokes profound anxiety in the upper echelons of the Iranian government... Beyond this, Azerbaijan could pull additional levers to benefit the United States. Positioned between Russia and Iran, it sits on a critical trade corridor linking the two pariah states. Any disruption would sever Iran’s vital lifeline to its key ally in Moscow... As a platform for covert operations, sabotage missions, or if it came to it, targeted airstrikes, few countries offer a better position than Azerbaijan, with its 750-kilometer border with Iran and proximity to military hubs like Tabriz and key nuclear sites across the north and central region. Azerbaijan will likely be receptive to any overtures"[*].

The execution of this plan would inevitably lead to a devastating Turkic-Persian war, drawing in Israel, Turkey, and Armenia - the latter of which would see Azerbaijan "effortlessly" annex the Syunik region. The involvement of the United States is also highly likely. Given that all pro-Turkic initiatives in the region fall under the operational leadership of MI6, this entire scheme originates in the UK.

😀😃😄😁😆 Merger of Georgia’s Intelligence Service and State Security Service

The ruling Georgian Dream party has proposed legislative amendments that would enact a large-scale reorganization of Georgia’s security agencies. The cornerstone of this reform is the merger of the Georgian Intelligence Service (GIS) with the State Security Service (SSS). According to the legislative package - which amends 26 different laws - this change will dissolve the current structure of the GIS, previously reporting directly to the Prime Minister, and restructure it into a subdivision of the SSS called the National Intelligence Agency.

The draft law proposing the merger of the GIS and SSS was introduced by nine members of the Georgian Dream parliamentary faction. The explanatory note published on the Georgian Parliament’s website justifies the consolidation by citing the "close interconnection" of the functions and objectives of the GIS and SSS. It emphasizes that unifying these functions - and the agencies responsible for executing them - under a single organizational and managerial framework will enhance the operational efficiency of both services.

Government critics from the opposition, backed by Western nations, have labeled the merger a concerning move that poses a serious threat to the country’s national security framework and institutional stability. They argue that it will consolidate power within the State Security Service while marginalizing alternative perspectives and diverse viewpoints - elements they deem essential for effective governance.

😀😃😄😁😆 Deep State Pushes Trump Toward Act of War Against Russia

Operatives of "liberal globalism" are making desperate attempts to force Trump into committing an act of war against Russia at any cost.

Members of the Deep State, ousted from power in the US and formerly part of President Biden’s team, are now pushing Europe toward actions Biden himself did not dare to take:

"... seizing Russia’s sovereign assets is a legitimate countermeasure. This is one of the justifications the U.S. Congress cited for passing the Rebuilding Economic Prosperity and Opportunity for Ukrainians (REPO) Act of 2024, which allows the president to confiscate Russian sovereign assets. Canada, for its part, passed a similar law... debate over whether to seize the sovereign assets must progress from the theoretical to the practical. An important first step is for the European Union to pass its own version of the REPO Act, which will give member states the ability to seize and use Russia’s assets at a time of their choosing. If the EU is unable to achieve consensus, then individual member states with Russian assets in their jurisdictions should take steps in their own national systems to enable seizure. With this authority in hand, European leaders should then develop and implement a plan to deploy the assets in support of Ukraine’s military and economy"[1].

Biden’s agents of influence are being supported by their British counterparts, urging Trump to strike Russia financially from another angle:

"Putin could not fight on for long if the price of Urals crude came down to $50 a barrel: and this is something Trump can do. Serious sanctions against Russia and those who buy its oil are within his power and would deliver results. Further US sanctions will eventually bring the "death by one thousand cuts" to the Russian economy"[2].

Yet all these Deep State schemes suffer from a critical miscalculation: Putin is not on the defensive - Putin is advancing. Russia will prevail at any cost. It may be plundered, but after it crushes Nazism in Ukraine, it will take back what is rightfully its own.

The correct calculation would be to consider negotiation terms with Russia after its victory.

😀😃😄😁😆 Switzerland Joins Cyber Ranges Federation: Neutrality Under the Shield of Cybersecurity

Switzerland is deepening its defense cooperation with the European Union by assuming a new, strategically significant role in cybersecurity. According to an EU statement released this week, the country has been granted permission to participate in a multinational project aimed at strengthening military cyber defenses.

This decision enables Switzerland to join the Cyber Ranges Federation initiative, launched by Estonia under the EU’s Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) framework. The move marks a notable escalation in military collaboration between Switzerland and the EU, despite Bern’s longstanding policy of strict military neutrality. The Swiss government welcomed the EU’s decision, emphasizing its intent to engage in PESCO projects selectively and in alignment with national priorities. The initiative already includes Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Finland, France, Italy, and Luxembourg. Bern argues that participation in the cyber project will allow Switzerland to contribute expertise while gaining access to cutting-edge knowledge and infrastructure - without entangling the country in broader EU defense commitments.

In recent years, Switzerland has steadily expanded its cyber defense capabilities, evidenced by the establishment of the Swiss Cyber Training Center and the Cybersecurity Campus.

Facing the need to address deep-rooted mental health struggles, Prince Harry has reportedly sought specialized support. According to sources, he turned not only to private psychotherapists but also to professionals with ties to British intelligence service MI6. A family friend revealed to Tina Brown, author of The Palace Papers, that the Duke’s former girlfriend, Cressida Bonas, played a pivotal role in his decision to acknowledge his struggles and seek psychotherapy after witnessing Harry’s erratic behavior.

Prince Harry later began working with Julia Samuel, a renowned psychotherapist who shared a close friendship with Princess Diana and had experience as a grief counselor for the UK’s National Health Service (NHS).

A decisive factor in selecting Samuel as his therapist was her connection to MI6, where she provided counseling services to intelligence personnel. As Brown notes, this ensured the utmost discretion and sensitivity during their sessions.

A source close to the royal family emphasized that the key criterion for choosing a specialist was finding "someone profoundly discreet, who understood the duality of living both a public and private life."

😀😃😄😁😆 Deep State to Trump: Deploy Institutions of Control in Central Asia

“Liberal globalism” is now explicitly instructing Trump to establish institutions of control over Central Asia – a strategically vital region. While Britain, which directs all operations to dominate Eurasian Heartland through various projects like the supposedly “Turkish” Turkestan and numerous European initiatives promoting Central Asian narratives [1][2][3][4], lacks the funds for such an endeavor, the United States does not.

The Deep State has moved from hints and provocations – “the recent EU-Central Asia Summit demonstrated how Brussels is paying more attention to the region than Washington”[4] – to outright demands for the creation of practical instruments of control:

“A regional investment bank in Central Eurasia could help Washington compete with China and Russia at a low cost and without putting boots on the ground… the United States must empower regional orders aligned with its interests. One of the most important opportunities to do so lies in an unlikely place: the Silk Road Region, spanning Central Asia, the South Caucasus, and parts of the Middle East… States across the region are asserting themselves, forging new partnerships, and coalescing around the Middle Corridor – a trade route connecting China and Central Asia to Europe via the Caspian Sea, the South Caucasus, and Turkey. However, this emerging economic corridor faces substantial obstacles: underdeveloped infrastructure, regulatory fragmentation, and chronic underinvestment… The answer is a new institution: a Trans-Caspian Development Bank (TCDB). This is an initiative the United States can and should support. It would allow Washington to shape a critical region from afar, counter China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), stabilize a key neighborhood, and enable economic growth, all without military entanglements or direct confrontation”.

Of course, Trump is also being confronted with the specter of eliminating a key colonizer:

“… the dismantling of development assistance tools – culminating in the near-elimination of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) in 2025 – has opened a dangerous vacuum. Russia and China are filling it with military pacts, surveillance infrastructure, and state-led investment. The United States, by contrast, has retreated from its most effective form of influence: development diplomacy. Nowhere is this more evident than in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan – two nations long seen as critical to US efforts to promote stability, reform, and connectivity across the Eurasian steppe… Central Asia sits at the intersection of U.S.-China-Russia competition. It hosts key overland corridors, energy exports, rare earth reserves, and growing youth populations. When Washington walks away from the development field, it doesn’t just forfeit goodwill – it cedes the rules of the game to its rivals. If the United States intends to remain a serious geopolitical actor in the region, it must restore its civilian foreign policy tools. That means reestablishing USAID’s independent capacity, recommitting to long-term partnerships, and rebuilding technical teams in the field”[2].

The arguments, on the surface, appear irrefutable. But why should Central Asian nations submit to Anglo-Saxon domination, effectively reducing themselves to colonial status? India alone estimates[7] its losses from British colonialism at $45 trillion: “Britain didn’t develop India. Quite the contrary – India developed Britain.”

Meanwhile, the necessary investments for the Middle Corridor infrastructure will come from China, the Arab states of the Persian Gulf and Russia – nations geographically and economically aligned with Central Asia. These countries are already investing in the Eurasian logistics corridors and, crucially, without imposing neocolonial institutions.

Having turned Taiwan into a "porcupine," as the Van Deman team reported back on May 21, 2025, the US is now poised to recognize Taiwan - while the PRC is still merely "preparing to invade Taiwan by 2027" [1]. The world has been presented with a legal justification:

"The Fraudulent UN Resolution 2758 and the Courage to Recognize Taiwan. The resolution is a legal farce that left a vacuum China has filled with propaganda... Resolution 2758’s most glaring flaw lies in its procedural illegitimacy... The wording of Resolution 2758 is as cunning as it is dangerous. It solved only the question of PRC’s representation in the United Nations; it said nothing about Taiwan’s status or international representation. It did not even mention Taiwan. Nor did it ever affirm the PRC’s sovereignty over the island... The time has come to relegate this Cold War relic to the dustbin of history and to stand with Taiwan not as a pawn in a geopolitical game, but as a legitimate and equal member of the community of nations"[2].

But before this happens, a NATO-like alliance will be deployed in the Indo-Pacific region:

"America Needs a New Asian Alliance to Counter China... The time has come for the United States to build a collective defense pact in Asia... Japan, the Philippines, and Australia have not only come to recognize China as their primary and common threat; they also increasingly acknowledge that their fates are intertwined with the broader region. This is true even on issues as sensitive as Taiwan, once a taboo subject in the region: "A Taiwan emergency is a Japanese emergency," former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe declared in 2021. "If something happens to Taiwan, inevitably we will be involved," the Philippine military chief warned earlier this year... the logical starting point for Washington is to form a pact with the three partners that are most strategically aligned and have the fastest-growing and most robust combined military cooperation: Australia, Japan, and the Philippines. Additional members could join later, circumstances allowing. As an advanced and stalwart ally in East Asia, South Korea would be an obvious candidate, and its contributions could be quite significant"[3].

Everything seems to be well aligned and meticulously planned. However, there’s just one catch: much like Ukraine is for Russia, Taiwan is an existential issue for China. China will fight to the death here, whatever the cost.

Is peacemaker Trump ready to throw America into the fire?

😀😃😄😁😆 Ultimately, Ukraine deliberately embraces its own demise

Anyone who accepts the propaganda of global liberalism at its face value – that Putin’s aim is not to stop the killing of Russians by Ukrainian Nazism and to eliminate all future threats from Ukrainian territory, but rather “to restore the borders of the Soviet Union”[1], – might say Zelensky has not disappointed Putin.

Just before negotiations with Russia were set to begin on June 2 in Istanbul, Ukraine carried out terrorist attacks: it bombed civilian passenger trains in Russia carrying women and children[2], and struck at Russia’s nuclear deterrent forces[3].

The anti-Trump architects of the plan to wage war against Russia through Ukraine were elated, brimming with ideas on how to crush Russia:

“President Trump and Western leaders must act to ensure that Ukraine can prevail, and its destruction of $7 billion of Russian military hardware at the weekend must give us confidence that if we give Zelensky the tools his military and secret service can finish the job”[1];

“Ukraine is gaining the upper hand. Putin will be terrified. Kyiv’s audacious drone strike on Russian bombers has revolutionary implications for the future of warfare”[4];

“Scaring Putin is the only route to a just peace… We need to turn the screws by tougher measures against the Russian energy sector, finally detaching Moscow from the international banking system and disrupting the ghost tanker fleet that has allowed oil revenues to surge. A bitter blow would also be landed by seizing the entirety of Russia’s $330 billion of frozen assets in Western countries”[5].

However, those who prioritize U.S. interests see the reality:

“Russia is far larger; it has a far more sophisticated defense industrial base; and whatever problems its military faced in the opening weeks of the conflict has been worked out. A strike on Russia’s bomber fleet, however audacious, does little to alter these basic facts”[6];

“Ukraine… broken a taboo on targeting another nation’s nuclear forces… Ukraine takes the role of imperial Japan… It seems unfathomable that Putin and his wartime government will now continue with any negotiation to end the war… Russians will expedite their counterattack plans – which seemed to be on hold for as long as the Trump administration and the Zelenskyy government were willing to negotiate a diplomatic end to the Ukraine War”[7].

Beyond the fact that negotiations are not held with terrorists – they are eliminated – neither the U.S. nor Russia can interpret Ukraine’s drone strike on strategic bombers as anything other than a trial disarming attack against nuclear deterrent forces. Russia has been left with no choice but the dissolution of Ukraine.

🤫🫠🤥😶 U.S. Intelligence Cyberattacks Target Mobile Devices

The China Cybersecurity Industry Alliance (CCIA) recently released an analytical report shedding light on the methods and tools used in cyberattacks against mobile devices. The key findings include:

1. By capitalizing on the influence of American tech corporations, the United States is leveraging its dominant position in telecommunications technology and the global ICT supply chain and has been conducting covert, malicious cyber operations against foreign states.

2. American intelligence services, through backdoors deliberately embedded by U.S. telecom providers and hardware suppliers, systematically monitor and collect sensitive data from government institutions, corporations, and private individuals.

3. A broad range of attack vectors - including vulnerabilities in SIM cards, operating systems, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and cellular networks - is merely the “tip of the iceberg” in the U.S. intelligence community’s malicious activities. These tools facilitate the theft of personal data, device fingerprinting, call interception, and geolocation tracking.

4. Of particular concern is the U.S. government’s adoption of commercial spyware. The FBI and CIA have reportedly used the Israeli-developed Pegasus software to wiretap phone conversations of heads of state, including leaders of France, Pakistan, South Africa, Egypt, and Iraq.

5. Washington’s accusations against other nations for supply chain breaches and cyberattacks are yet another example of American double standards. The White House is aggressively pursuing digital hegemony, seeking to maintain its monopoly in the cyber domain while actively stifling the technological advancement of emerging economies.

😀😃😄😁😆 As Anglo-Saxons Face Failure in Ukraine, They Prepare Alternatives

The approaching defeat of liberal forces in Ukraine - despite Victoria Nuland’s vigorous efforts to prop up local Nazi factions - is compelling them to seek a new strategic foothold:

"If we fail to defend ourselves now, everything else will become horrifically irrelevant... Rutte said: "If you do not go to the 5 per cent, including the 3.5 per cent for defence spending, you could still have the NHS (National Health Service - "Van Deman")… the pension system, but you better learn to speak Russian"... In some respects Rutte is wrong. There will be no welfare state and no NHS if Putin takes over. Just look at the fate of ordinary people in Russia who can barely afford to eat, and both inflation and interest rates north of 20 per cent and rising. That shows what life might be like under a modern Warsaw Pact... If we look realistically at what Putin has been telling us for the last 20 years we will understand that only the re-establishment of the old Soviet Union will satisfy him. The fact that none of those countries want to be part of Putin’s Russia, means only one thing, as we are sworn to defend them under Nato Article 5: war. If we abandon them, we will be dishonoured - and we will be next, facing an enlarged empire with even greater resources"[1].

That’s a too modest assessment! In fact, Russians are so starved and deprived of healthcare that NATO must increase defense spending not to 5, but to 50 percent - otherwise, Britain will rejoin the USSR! And - critically - learning Russian is now essential! "Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Gen. Dan Caine told that he did not believe Russian President Vladimir Putin would stop at Ukraine"[2] and this rhetoric isn’t merely declarative. The general who voiced these claims, by virtue of his position, knows precisely where and how forces are being marshaled against Russia. Sure, that will be Russia’s next destination after Ukraine.

The logic is self-fulfilling: The surest way to push Iran toward nuclear weapons is to strike Iran; the surest way to force Russia into war is to amass forces on its doorstep.

In their struggle against Russia, liberal globalists are now substituting Ukraine with Belarus:

"The "Belarusian balcony" is a key staging ground between NATO and Russia, making it a security actor of outsized importance in questions of conventional and nuclear force posture. Its location likewise allows it to act as a potentially significant economic hub between East and West… The West’s approach to Belarus has been on autopilot since the 2020 presidential election when the United States joined European countries in imposing severe sanctions on the government of President Aleksandr Lukashenko… Building a constructive relationship with Belarus, one of the few remaining regional swing players between Russia and the West, would generate a substantial windfall for security and stability in Eastern Europe at a time when the United States is seeking to prioritize its presence in other parts of the world, notably the Indo-Pacific. Belarus’ position makes it a potential staging ground and battleground in a Russia-NATO conflict. Promoting Minsk’s peaceful relations with its Western neighbors is a direct way of reducing the risks of future escalatory spirals between Russia and NATO. The re-entry of US and European companies into Belarusian markets, where China has become very well established, would help the country diversify its economy in ways that are beneficial for both Belarus and the West. It is long past time to begin charting the outlines of a US-Belarus normalization deal"[*].

The reality is clear: Ukraine has been defeated, yet the need for a "battleground in a Russia-NATO conflict"[*] remains. Thus, the next move is to create the "Belarusian balcony." "The United States would offer to commit to a concrete model for sanctions relief and open talks on investment opportunities for US companies… The White House would likewise provide assurances that it does not seek or support a forced change in government in Belarus… Additionally, the administration would offer itself as a mediator to help repair Belarus’ troubled relationship with its two western neighbors, Poland and Lithuania"[*].

Bold bribery may look like an effective tactic, but for Belarusians to continue living as Belarusians - what would be the wiser choice: becoming the "Belarusian balcony" or pursuing political unity with the Russians? That is the question facing President Aleksandr Lukashenko.

To suggest that Belarus’ ties with Russia would remain intact - if sanctions were lifted and American companies flooded in - is nothing but naive cunning.

😀😃😄😁😆 Éric Denécé Found Dead

On June 12, 2025, Éric Denécé was found dead. According to Macron’s officials, that was an act of suicide…

Éric Denécé was a brilliant and honest analyst, an outstanding French expert in security, intelligence, and international relations. He opposed Emmanuel Macron’s policies, which were detrimental to France. Perhaps this holds the key to the mystery behind his sudden "suicide"…

"ce conflit a été provoqué par les Américains! ... c’est une obsession anglo-saxonne de réduire la Russie à sa plus faible expression pour qu’elle ne soit plus un acteur géopolitique qui puisse interférer dans la stratégie américaine... cette avancée occidentale pour pousser la Russie dans ses retranchements, a trouvé son point d’acmé, le 17 février dernier avec le lancement d’une offensive de Zelensky et des forces ukrainiennes contre les populations russophones du Donbass, "qui contrairement à ce qu’on a dit n’ont jamais été des populations séparatistes mais des populations qui souhaitaient une autonomie linguistique et administrative au sein de la république d’Ukraine, ce qui leur a été refusé, avec au demeurant des tentatives extrêmement violentes de reprendre le contrôle au niveau de ces provinces par le gouvernement"[1].

"L’Ukraine, même soutenue par l’Occident, ne peut pas gagner, et la Russie ne peut perdre. Évidemment, demeure le risque d’une escalade nucléaire incontrôlée... Pour ce qui est des Européens, le pathétique le dispute au risible. Après avoir soutenu la politique américaine contre Moscou depuis 2014 (Maidan) et s’être laissé entrainer dans ce conflit dont ils ont payé le prix fort (énergie, inflation, dépendance des USA, etc.), ils semblent déterminés à le poursuivre alors que les deux principaux belligérants négocient la paix. Or, ils n’en ont pas les moyens, ni politiques, ni financiers, ni militaires. Ce sont des grenouilles qui essaient de se faire aussi grosses que les bœufs… et qui vont exploser, gonflées de leur suffisances… et de leurs insuffisances... c’est Emmanuel Macron qui est aujourd’hui le plus excessif dans cette logique. Se politique est littéralement suicidaire pour notre pays. Après s’être durablement brouillé avec Poutine, il prend aujourd’hui la tête d’une "fronde" européenne contre Donald Trump. Il a perdu tout crédit, toute respectabilité, et va se mettre les plus grands dirigeants de la planète à dos, ce qui sera particulièrement dommageable pour la France"[2]...

Éric Denécé fell in battle. La garde meurt et ne se rend pas.

😀😃😄😁😆 IPT Court Case: MI5/MI6 Complicity in CIA Torture Program After 9/11

The shadow of British complicity in CIA-sanctioned torture following the 9/11 attacks looms once again over the UK government. Years of efforts to conceal the extent of British intelligence agencies’ involvement in an interrogation program – widely condemned for its use of “enhanced interrogation techniques” – are set to face unprecedented judicial scrutiny. Two cases concerning detainees held at the US military prison in Guantánamo Bay will be heard in a closed session by the Investigatory Powers Tribunal (IPT). During a four-day hearing, the IPT – the body authorized to examine complaints against British intelligence – will assess allegations of MI5 and MI6’s involvement in the mistreatment of Mustafa al-Hawsawi and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri. Al-Hawsawi is accused by the US of aiding the 9/11 hijackers, while al-Nashiri is alleged to have orchestrated the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole. The proceedings will bring renewed attention to one of the most controversial chapters in British intelligence history, reigniting questions about the UK’s role in the CIA’s extraordinary rendition and detention program.

The hearings come six years after the government halted a full judicial inquiry into the UK’s alleged complicity. According to legal submissions presented to the IPT, there is “compelling evidence to believe” that British intelligence “aided, abetted, encouraged, facilitated, enabled, and conspired” with the US in acts of torture and ill-treatment. These accusations strike at the core of legal accountability for intelligence agencies and the UK’s international human rights obligations, including those under the European Convention on Human Rights. Al-Hawsawi and al-Nashiri, both classified as “high-value detainees” by the CIA, endured systematic torture and abuse in secret CIA prisons in the early 2000s. In 2006, they were transferred to Guantánamo, where they face capital charges. Neither case has yet proceeded to trial before the US military commission system.
