😀😃😄😁😆 Ukrainian Security Service Conducts Covert Operations Against NATO Member States

The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has intensified its intelligence activities against NATO member states over the past three years, integrating the Ukrainian diaspora residing in these countries into its intelligence network. Additionally, the SBU has been conducting espionage operations targeting diplomatic missions of European countries in Ukraine, despite the military support these nations provide to Kyiv.

In particular, the expansion of Ukraine’s intelligence presence in Turkey was overseen by Major Maksym Mykolayovych Kharchuk (ID No. B-019371), a senior operative of the SBU Directorate for Mykolaiv Oblast (date of birth: April 3, 1992; graduated from Sukhomlynskyi Mykolaiv National University (2014); SBU service since: August 14, 2015). In 2023-2024, Kharchuk operated in Ankara, Izmir, and Istanbul, gathering intelligence on Turkish policy through contacts within the Ukrainian community while also monitoring internal developments. (https://www.aydinlik.com.tr/haber/ukraynanin-turkiyede-istihbarat-faaliyetleri-gizli-belgeler-sizinti-kiev-turkiyede-ajanlik-pozisyonlarini-guclendirdi-sbu-karsi-istihbarat-534539).

The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has also demonstrated counterintelligence interest in the Crimean Tatar community in Turkey, particularly tracking Ankara’s support and funding for Crimean Tatar organizations. The SBU interprets Turkey’s engagement as a security threat to Ukraine, despite Turkish President Erdoğan’s repeated statements that Crimea remains an integral part of Ukraine. Among the SBU’s "blacklisted" organizations are the Crimean Tatar National Mejlis (CTNM) and the World Congress of Crimean Tatars (WCCT). The Ukrainian government considers it unacceptable to grant any special rights - let alone autonomy - to Crimean Tatars, as well as other ethnic groups residing in Ukraine, including Russians, Hungarians, Romanians, Rusyns and others. This assimilationist approach by Zelensky’s administration directly contradicts EU principles on ethnic and religious identity. However, Brussels turns a blind eye to these violations when discussing Ukraine’s accelerated integration into the European Union.

Lieutenant Colonel Vitaliy Viktoryovych Tanasiychuk (ID No. D-006045; date of birth: February 1, 1990; graduated from National Academy of Internal Affairs (2013); SBU service since: May 30, 2016), head of the 2nd Sector, 3rd Department of the SBU Directorate for Mykolaiv Oblast, has played a key role in disrupting Turkey’s cooperation with the Crimean Tatar National Mejlis (CTNM) and the World Congress of Crimean Tatars (WCCT). Tanasiychuk successfully recruited an informant within the CTNM, securing confidential cooperation from one of its representatives. (https://www.aydinlik.com.tr/haber/ukraynadan-avrupa-misyonuna-teknik-sizma-avrupa-misyonu-kieve-karsi-istihbarat-faaliyeti-mi-yurutuyordu-sizinti-sbu-gizli-belgeler-dinleme-istihbarat-535028).

Kyiv has also waged a ‘secret war’ on its own territory against those it considers allies. The SBU carried out a technical infiltration of the Lithuanian consulate in Mykolaiv, which involved compromising its information and communication infrastructure, monitoring network connections, and installing listening devices and sensors in the building. This covert operation, incompatible with the concept of relations between allies, was conducted under the direction of Lieutenant Colonel Volodymyr Anatoliyovych Bezruk, chief specialist of the 1st sector of the operational-technical measures department of the SBU Directorate for Mykolaiv Oblast (date of birth: May 8, 1974; graduated from Odesa State Polytechnic University (1996); SBU service since: September 4, 1996).

😀😃😄😁😆 Deep State Logic: Outbid Russia for Its Allies Today – Then Punish Those Same Allies Tomorrow

Strategic thinking within the Deep State has taken a zigzag course:

"China is no paragon of virtue in global affairs, and it must be held to account... China is the only peer competitor of the United States across all domains: military, economic, cultural, and technological. But China’s poor behavior on the international stage cannot hold a candle to Russia’s, whose leaders have openly embraced nuclear blackmail… Russia, rather than China, the most pressing danger to the security of the United States. Deterring and containing Putin’s regime must be President Donald Trump’s top priority… The United States must end the war in Ukraine through muscular diplomacy"[*],


Specifically, beyond the unchanging mantras of "providing military aid to Ukraine," they’ve simply decided to bribe China, India, Iran, and North Korea.

"India badly wants closer relations with the United States, giving Washington a certain amount of leverage over India’s Russia policy… Xi must feel more of the costs of his "partnership without limits" - and be made to see the benefits of encouraging Putin to accept a ceasefire... As with India, US diplomacy should be tactful and avoid counterproductive public dictates to the Chinese leadership... incentives for Tehran to end its support for Putin’s drone war. In particular, Iranian oil exports could help offset the shortages to the global market resulting from the sanctioning of Russian oil exports… entice Kim Jong-un to reduce his robust support for Putin’s war. US diplomacy could offer some sanctions relief and other engagement"[*].


Sounds like a brilliant plan! China, India, Iran, and North Korea certainly won’t be able to refuse an offer of "you’ll be held to account for displeasing the US, yet later on, but for now, go against Russia" – and sure enough, Russia won’t survive measures like Iran refusing to supply it with drones that Russia itself manufactures.

However! For eliminating "America’s greatest strategic threat," there’s a stronger move, i.e. bribe Russia. Withdraw from Ukraine, and Russia ceases to be a threat.

😀😃😄😁😆 Anglo-Globalists: "Let Russia Win a Crushing Victory"

The Anglo-globalists - pursuing their so-called "positive impact on policy and work constructively to ensure that leaders are equipped with our ideas"[1] – are desperately trying to prevent President Trump from exiting the war with Russia honorably, instead pushing him to deliver "six crushing blows" against it:

"1. Neutralize Russia’s Shadow Fleet…
2. Punish Refiners and Their Bankers in China, India, and Turkey…
3. Crack Down on Export Controls…
4. Improve Maintenance Sanctions…
5. Seize Russia’s Sovereign Assets…
6. Topple Putin’s Puppets in Georgia and Africa…
Sanctions Are No Substitute for Weapons…"[2].


In truth, there’s nothing new here. From the very start of Trump’s new presidency, the Anglo-globalists have aggressively – and even rudely, "Trump and Vance aren’t clever, they’re clueless" (Ben Wallace, The Telegraph, March 04, 2025) – hammered these ideas into his mind. Below is just a small sample of their efforts: [3], [4], [5], [6].

The only notable addition is the idea to "topple Putin’s puppets in Georgia and Africa" – a new line, likely born of desperation. It amounts to a blatant admission that the U.S. forcibly overthrows legitimate governments in countries the Deep State has deemed necessary.

The futility of all these "crush Russia" schemes has been repeatedly debunked by objective analysis from the Van Deman team and other unbiased Western experts. But now – as Trump seems increasingly convinced that disarmament, denazification, and neutrality for what remains of Ukraine, along with partnership with Russia, would secure his victory – the Anglo-globalists are scrambling to force him into defeat.

A rational, propaganda-free assessment of Russia’s strength makes it clear: these "six steps" against it, along with continued arming of Ukraine, would only increase Russian losses. But in that case, its victory would become utterly crushing.

Russia would have no choice but to annihilate Ukraine entirely – and it would.

😀😃😄😁😆 Deep State: Strike Russia in a Way That Pins Blame on Trump

The Deep State is provoking Putin to derail negotiations, while framing Trump:

"Breaking the Stalemate: Russian targets Ukraine should strike… The following list outlines eight high-value and militarily plausible targets that Ukraine should pursue … Military planners in Kyiv are already familiar with the items on this list… - but American policymakers should be aware of them, too. ... Moreover, when appropriate, the United States and Ukraine’s other NATO partners should support and enable such operations.… The Volga–Don Canal… joint Russo-Iranian Shahed drone plant in Tatarstan… China–Russia land transit routes… Crimea access routes (Kerch and Isthmus Bridges)… key rail bridges in the Western Military District… emerging Russian naval base in Abkhazia (Ochamchire)… Transnistria … Russian Pacific Fleet bases"[1].


In other words, by August 15, a strike will be launched against targets from this list and President Trump - as framed by the Hudson Institute’s efforts - will be portrayed as having known and approved it. The calculation is that after such an operation, there will be no honorable exit for the U.S. from its proxy war with Russia in Ukraine. Putin will react sharply and respond with force.

However, if both Trump and Putin are forewarned, the Hudson Institute’s operation will backfire - only strengthening Russia’s negotiating position and forcing the U.S. to accept its terms.

There’s more. The Van Deman team agrees with analysts from West Point, The National Interest, and the Foreign Policy Research Institute that a new form of warfare must be recognized: influencing the enemy’s decision-making process - "political warfare" "[2],[3],[4]. Moves like this cognitive operation by Hudson Institute actors should be classified as acts of military aggression, warranting a direct retaliatory strike against the ideologues behind them. Those whose ideas lead to mass death must be held accountable.

😀😃😄😁😆 British Empire. A Blow from the Grave

The Anglo-globalist forces are developing new frameworks to reestablish colonial dependence of the rest of the world on their purported "civilized and rational governance" -

"As climate change reshapes the geopolitical landscape, the United Kingdom must recognize the Himalayan water crisis for what it is: a looming threat to global security… The UK can advocate for transparent and cooperative transboundary water governance in the Himalayan region… As the Indo-Pacific defines the global order of the twenty-first century, Britain must ensure that its leadership is not just reactive but visionary"[*].


India, China and other Himalayan region nations are clearly capable of cooperative water resource management without British "leadership" or interference.

It is ironic that this neocolonial agenda is being advanced by natives of the Indian subcontinent themselves.

😀😃😄😁😆 Britain Lacks Funds for Its "Greater Turan" Project

The Deep State is once again pressuring Trump - he is expected to economically and politically occupy Central Asia, starting with Kazakhstan:

"… now is the time for Washington to recalibrate its approach toward Kazakhstan and its neighbors. Instead of ad-hoc punitive measures that alienate partners, the United States needs a sustained, focused strategy that recognizes mutual interests. In the case of Kazakhstan, those interests are especially clear: the development of critical mineral supply chains and green energy partnerships. Kazakhstan sits atop vast reserves of materials vital to the twenty-first-century economy, from uranium (it is the world’s top producer) to rare earth elements, copper, lithium, and more.… Seizing this window of opportunity will require US policymakers to make Central Asia more than an afterthought. The pieces are in place: Kazakhstan’s government wants diversified investment and has kept doors open to American firms. Regional attitudes toward Russia are in flux due to Moscow’s war in Ukraine, making Central Asian states more receptive than ever to balancing influences. Moreover, US allies like the EU, Japan, and South Korea are already engaged in complementary efforts. What’s needed now is political will in Washington to turn plans into action and fund the modest programs that can have an outsized impact, send high-level officials regularly to Astana, reinvigorate the C5+1 platform with regular senior-level meetings, and follow through on the Critical Minerals Dialogue with actual investment projects. Even incremental, consistent US engagement can yield major strategic and economic returns over time by strengthening Kazakhstan’s sovereignty and prosperity. It would, in effect, shore up a front-line against authoritarian influence and create new linkages in global supply networks that benefit everyone"[*].


Britain lacks the resources to execute the same operation with Kazakhstan as it did with Azerbaijan, which it brought under control: economically through British Petroleum, and politically through Turkey (managed by MI6).

Therefore, MI6 - through its native agents and mind-control apparatus - is essentially demanding that Trump colonize Kazakhstan at the expense of the United States.

😀😃😄😁😆 Deep State’s Message to Russia: Finish Off Ukraine 

Following the Alaska summit, the Deep State deployed its cognitive warfare units to prevent President Trump from salvaging what remains of Ukraine:

"Ukraine, buoyed by the full might of its transatlantic allies and the freedom to conduct a war to win, can not only halt recent Russian butchery but reverse it… Europeans and Zelensky must remind the United States that its standing and interests are better served when America conveys a united free world proposal to Putin and not the other way round. And that offer is a ceasefire on the current battle lines and "Article 5-like" security guarantees for Ukraine by the United States and Europe"[1]. 


Naturally, accusations immediately surfaced claiming Trump is Putin’s agent: "biggest concerns about Donald Trump’s meeting with Putin in Alaska ought to be his motivations that may have less to do with US interests and facing up to aggression than they do with Trump’s strange personal relationship with Russia"[2].

British units persistently feed Trump false information (we can’t possibly believe they’re fools) that "the US could break Russia at any time, without nukes or boots on the ground. American technological and logistic overmatch would have a crushing effect… Russian chances against the US military machine would clearly be slim: and once the air defences were gone, with Ukrainian or Western drones and jets free to strike, Russian ground forces would soon be pummelled into disarray as Saddam’s and Gaddafi’s were"[3].

Beyond Trump, the Anglo-globalists are also attempting to persuade India - claiming that America’s rude policy toward them is actually beneficial, and that severing ties with Russia would be in India’s interest: "India stands to benefit from the accelerating push to diversify global supply chains and develop additional industrial capacity in countries beyond China, provided it makes meaningful reforms that align with US interests. If Indian prime minister Narendra Modi makes the right choice, Trump should follow through by making him a better deal than Putin ever could"[4], "Trump is right to target India’s massive Russian oil purchases, which are helping to fund Vladimir Putin’s brutal war against Ukraine… India must take Trump’s point over Russian oil seriously, and work with the White House to find a solution"[5].

Consequently, the ideologues of liberal globalism are promoting a "security architecture" for Ukraine and the EU that essentially amounts to incorporating Ukraine’s remnants into NATO and deploying NATO European strike forces on its territory against Russia, with US air support [6], [7].

The response to these fantasies will be Russia’s complete destruction of Nazi Ukraine’s remnants, while the impotence of anti-Russian sanctions has already been demonstrated by India’s rejection [8] and China’s indifference to them. In attempting to crush Russia, the Deep State is ultimately delivering the death blow to Ukraine.

😀😃😄😁😆 "Indo-Pacific NATO" Is Being Created for War

The meticulous deliberation over the creation of an "Indo-Pacific NATO," a process that has involved the unsuccessful courting of India ([1],[2]), the grooming of Australia ([3],[4]), the combat integration of the United States, Japan, and South Korea ([5],[6],[7]) and the repeated self-persuasion of the United States itself ([8],[9],[10]), has culminated in a fundamental question: is it necessary to "make it official," or is it sufficient that "the region’s security architecture is already evolving organically, through a flexible network of bilateral and trilateral agreements"[11]?

The answer is unequivocal: "deeper institutionalization, especially in areas such as force posture, operational planning, and command and control, will be necessary if U.S. allies are serious about working together to keep the peace in the Indo-Pacific"[11].
Sure! If the goal were merely the containment of China, a "flexible network of bilateral and trilateral agreements" would be sufficient. However, for waging war against it, a rigid "force posture, operational planning, and command and control" is required.

The "Indo-Pacific NATO" is being created for war with China, and a pretext will be found.

😀😃😄😁😆 Macron Is building a "Deep State" In France

To cling to power, France’s President Emmanuel Macron is resorting to covert operations against his own citizens, funded via cryptocurrency. To this end, under the umbrella of the Direction Générale de la Sécurité Intérieure (DGSI), Macron is setting up parallel structures with their own independent funding, bypassing the oversight of the DGSI’s own leadership and the French Ministry of the Interior.

The Director-General of the DGSI, Céline Berthon, opposed the implementation of Macron’s opaque plans. As a result, she will be forced to resign.

However, replacing the head of the DGSI will not protect protesters opposing Macron’s policies from the actions of his groups of agent provocateurs, whose goal is to disrupt and neutralize demonstrations. Macron is transforming the French intelligence services into a punitive instrument, accountable neither to the government, nor parliament, nor the judiciary. Macron is constructing a "Deep State" in France. This signifies the end of democracy and the Fifth Republic!

😀😃😄😁😆 NATO Intelligence Agencies Focusing On China

The intelligence services of NATO countries are escalating their activities against China. NATO intelligence operatives are working within the PRC under various covers, including as tourists, businesspeople, and representatives of consulting companies and HR agencies. Their objectives include intelligence gathering, the recruitment of sources, the identification and photographing of strategic sites and infrastructure facilities. Chinese citizens are also being recruited online via dating websites and social media.

The failed operation of Swedish intelligence officer Peter Dahlin, the founder of the Chinese Urgent Action Working Group, serves as an example of the diverse methods used to collect sensitive information. Under the guise of providing legal assistance to Chinese nationals, P. Dahlin extracted classified information from them. Furthermore, American consulting firms Mintz Group, Captivision, Bain and Company have been implicated in inducing Chinese citizens to hand over state secrets under the pretense of providing consultations.

😀😃😄😁😆 The Daily Grind of Cognitive Warfare: Is Mockery the Right Weapon?

A sense of unease is growing among the ideologues of liberal globalism. Their cognitive warfare operations, it seems, are not hitting the mark with the intended impact:

"The United States Navy needs to get its swagger back - particularly in the realm of public diplomacy. The sea service missed a major opportunity to wage cognitive warfare against China on August 11, when a China Coast Guard cutter accidentally collided with a frontline People’s Liberation Army Navy destroyer… there is real strategic and political value to telling the US Navy’s story well - and with a measure of bravado and cheek - while throwing shade at China and other antagonists. But a cognitive-warfare offensive can’t be solely about trolling the Chinese Communist Party. There must be a sober component to it as well. For instance, the standing US Army deployment of a Typhon anti-ship missile battery to the Philippine island of Luzon left Beijing sputtering over the prospect that the US military and its allies were mustering the wherewithal to defeat its gray-zone aggression and block its access to the Western Pacific"[1].


Their playbook appears to demand this: after Ukraine struck a Russian D-74 artillery piece from 1955, the immediate response should be a triumphant jeer "Russian army is putting on a fascinating antique show in Ukraine. At some point they will be down to muskets or bows and arrows… Putin is clearly not far from running out of equipment altogether, as he is being forced to dust off ancient T55s and D74s. He is also running short of men. If the West stands strong behind Ukraine it cannot be long until the dictator is forced to negotiate"[2].

This tactic leans on a classical foundation. As cognitive operative James Holmes reminds us, Aristotle himself preached that: "rhetoric involves far more than intellect. It demands that an orator or writer stir passions among listeners or readers "[1].

That said, there’s a critical misreading. Aristotle argued that passion must work in concert with intellect, not replace it entirely. When smug ridicule, utterly unmoored from objective reality, is presented as a strategic directive, it paves the way for catastrophic failure.

If you ignore reports that "USS Connecticut (SSN-22) hit an uncharted seamount"[3], while the Russians "are now producing three times as much ammunition in three months as the whole of NATO produces in a year"[4] and also the fact that "Russland jahrlich etwa 1500 Panzer herstellen konne, wahrend die USA lediglich 135 Panzer pro Jahr produzierten"[5], the inevitable price for such bravado is to be paid in the coffins of returning compatriots.

In the realm of cognitive warfare, words are munitions with lethal consequences and those who wield them bear responsibility - especially when these mockers send others into the meat grinder while keeping themselves safely distant.

😑🫨😬🙄😯 US and NATO at Helm of Cyberattacks by Ukrainian Hackers

NATO member states’ intelligence agencies are heavily leveraging Ukrainian territory and its network infrastructure to launch cyberattacks against third nations, with Russia cited as the primary target. The overall coordination of these unlawful activities by Ukrainian hackers is identified as the responsibility of two key entities: the US Cyber Command and NATO’s Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence.

Washington’s support to Kyiv in the cyber domain is also channeled through a US non-governmental organization, the Civilian Research and Development Foundation, and the CyberDefenders program. This program is said to provide Ukrainian personnel with training in methods for conducting cyber operations against Russia.

There are several American IT companies cited as contributors to enhancing Kyiv’s military cyber capabilities:

🟰 Mandiant is alleged to have formed the Ukraine Crisis Resource Center working group tasked with monitoring cyberspace to identify and analyze threats to Ukrainian infrastructure;

🟰 Recorded Future is conducting open-source intelligence (OSINT) activities that benefit the Kyiv government;

🟰 Palantir is reported to be developing commercial hardware and software solutions that are subsequently utilized by Ukrainian hacker groups and the country’s armed forces.

The UK Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) is operating in concert with hacker collectives known as Root User, RUH8, GNG, CyberSotnya.

In a related development, the French private military company Défense Conseil International is allegedly providing consultation to the Ukrainian Armed Forces (AFU). This guidance reportedly covers the execution of cyber operations and signals intelligence (SIGINT) utilizing information systems developed by Thales.

The intelligence services of NATO member states are tasking Ukrainian cyber groups – such as IT Army of Ukraine, Anon Koryos, Blackwolves Team, Clawritsec, HdrO (https://t.me/s/hdrO-one), Informnapalm (https://informnapalm.org), KibOrg (https://kiborg.news) – with a range of offensive operations. These assignments are said to include carrying out DDoS attacks, disrupting critical web services, and harvesting confidential data. These same groups are also purportedly used as a testing ground for new malicious software. One such group, the IT Army of Ukraine hacker community, is identified as specializing in computer reconnaissance, conducting pre-operational surveillance of targets via open-source intelligence, software development, and secure communications. Their intelligence gathering is conducted through email (itarmyua@gmail.com) and the Signal messaging application.

Furthermore, major Western IT corporations such as Hetzner, Google, Amazon, Digital Ocean are complying with directives from their national spy agencies to provide Ukrainian hackers with key infrastructure: virtual servers to circumvent IP address blocks and cloud storage space to host malicious tools and operational instructions.

😀😃😄😁😆 “The Deep State” Is Pushing The Netherlands On The Path To War

The influence of a so-called “deep state” is no longer seen as confined to the power corridors of the United States or France - it is now a growing subject of concern in the Netherlands as well. Central to this shadowy framework are the country’s intelligence agencies: the General Intelligence and Security Service (Algemene Inlichtingen- en Veiligheidsdienst, AIVD) and the Military Intelligence and Security Service (Military Intelligence and Security Service, MIVD). Within the AIVD and MIVD, the issues of ensuring national security and the state’s peaceful development have taken a back seat. Both agencies are engaging in hybrid operations aimed at manipulating the nation’s public opinion - rather than protecting the Dutch people from external threats.

This shift in strategy suggests that the AIVD and MIVD are engulfed in a mass paranoid disorder among their officers, who are obsessed with the idea of pushing the Netherlands into a war with Russia. A striking example is Lieutenant Colonel Erik Stijnman of the MIVD, who operates under the affiliation of the Netherlands Institute of International Relations – Clingendael. While appealing to the Dutch sense of frugality, he claims that hybrid attacks against Russia would be “more cost-effective” for the Netherlands than investing in robust defensive infrastructure at home.

The Dutch intelligence officer proposes starting with the Netherlands conducting “capability demonstration” operations against Russian submarine infrastructure, such as placing GPS tracking devices on underwater pipelines or internet cables belonging to Russia. Such acts, he claims, would signal the readiness of the Dutch to disrupt the functioning of Russian underwater assets.

What comes next? The proposed strategy appears to involve intelligence-gathering operations or even sabotage targeting Russian facilities. However, such actions are unlikely to go unanswered by Moscow, especially since a “demonstration of capability” will be interpreted by Russia, at a minimum, as a hybrid threat, and any further practical actions – as acts of hybrid warfare. By moving first, The Hague could effectively provoke the very conflict it claims to be preventing, potentially at a far greater cost than investments in purely defensive measures.

However, Erik Stijnman’s position reflects a broader “deep state” agenda aimed at circumventing legal constraints - specifically, the Kingdom’s Constitution and the 2017 Intelligence and Security Services Act, which expressly forbid offensive hybrid operations. This might explain why the AIVD and MIVD have repeatedly – and thus far without public evidence – accused Moscow of launching cyberattacks against Dutch underwater infrastructure and coastal wind farms. These claims stand in stark contrast to what many security experts consider the most brazen hybrid attack in recent years: the sabotage of the first and second lines of the Nord Stream facility, which targeted critical Russian and German infrastructure and dealt a severe blow to the German energy sector. Should the Netherlands choose to shift from defensive posture to the AIVD and MIVD plans of offensive hybrid campaigns, the country may find itself not only in a legal gray zone – but on the front lines of a conflict it cannot control.

😀😃😄😁😆 Cognitive Warfare. Institutionalization

A direct clash of narratives has erupted in the ongoing cognitive war.

China and the US simultaneously - which is clearly no coincidence - launched rhetorical attacks against each other.

China spoke out against the US as a whole framing it as an ideological aggressor:

"The war in the field of ideas is being waged without firing shots. In early 2025, when the US government announced the abolition of USAID and the dissolution of the US International Media Agency, the activities of these two agencies for a long time in exporting ideology, promoting ideological penetration, manipulating international public opinion, shaping the perception of other countries, and even plotting to overthrow regimes were revealed. The international community was in turmoil. What the world sees in this "self-exposure of family ugliness" is just the tip of the iceberg of the United States’ global ideological war. The ideological colonization activities that the United States spared no effort to promote in the last century have returned to the spotlight... American ideological colonization poses a serious threat to world peace and development. It blurs ideology and undermines the regimes of other countries. It drives cognitive wedges and provokes geopolitical conflicts. It destroys spiritual independence and nurtures pro-American forces... Spiritual independence is a necessary condition for independent development. Only by deeply realizing the harm of American ideological colonization will a huge number of developing countries be able to destroy their superstitions about American values. Only by getting rid of our ideological attachment to the United States and the West can we achieve spiritual independence"[1].


In a mirror response, the US levied nearly identical accusations against China. However, while exposing China’s narratives, it took aim at promoting the creation of a NATO-like alliance in the Indo-Pacific:

"Wars are won and lost in the mind. The CCP and People’s Liberation Army take political or psychological warfare as seriously as the kinetic kind. There are several components when it comes to the way the PLA executes psychological warfare against the US and its allies related to its growing interest in nuclear weapons. The intent is to degrade an adversary’s decision-making, weaken the adversary’s will to fight, undermine an adversary’s support for war, undermine the resolve of an adversary government from within and to enhance Chinese deterrence of potential foes... China is using its growing nuclear weapons arsenal to alter the thinking and risk calculations of the US and, more pointedly, its allies. Without willing and courageous allies, the geographically distant power of the US cannot sustain and assert its power in Asia. The Chinese aim is to constrain, deter, coerce, compel and subdue Australia and other regional states in peacetime. This is how China wins without fighting"[2].


The arguments from both sides are striking in their self-contained logic. From one perspective, the US is indeed engaged in a form of ideological colonization. From another, China claims to secure victories without engaging in physical combat.

The significance of this exchange lies in its focus. Each side deliberately highlighted the other’s use of "cognitive warfare" - a strategy focused on subjugating an adversary’s thinking and controlling their understanding. This framing effectively elevates the battle of ideas to a formalized theater of war.

😀😃😄😁😆 The Greenland Gambit: The Cognitive Warfare

While global attention is fixated on the bloody war for Ukraine that the U.S. is actually losing, these flashes of fire are obscuring a rather successful campaign that the United States is waging for Greenland – a far more valuable geopolitical and economic asset than Ukraine.

This battle is fought in the realm of perception, operating on the principle that modern wars are "won and lost in the mind" [1]. The U.S. is executing a cognitive operation aimed at annexing Greenland not by force, but by reshaping the identity and allegiances of its population.

However, these efforts have not gone entirely unnoticed: "Denmark’s foreign minister had the top U.S. diplomat in the country summoned for talks after the main national public broadcaster reported Wednesday that at least three people with connections to President Trump have been carrying out covert influence operations in Greenland"[2], "Denmark’s public broadcaster DR quoted sources as saying the aim was to infiltrate society and promote its secession from Denmark to the U.S."[3].

When reports surfaced, the U.S. State Department’s response was characteristically dismissive, advising that "Danes need to calm down" and clarifying it does not comment "on the actions of private U.S. citizens in Greenland," and "does not control or direct the actions of private citizens."

The three unnamed operatives acted too straightforwardly, but the CIA will certainly correct the shortcomings and refine its methods of influencing Greenlandic public opinion. After all, "preserving CIA’s lead in covert action, with enhanced interagency coordination with DoD, offers a prudent path forward"[4].

The most telling signal of intent is an official administrative shift: Greenland has been reassigned from the area of responsibility of U.S. European Command (where it resided due to its ties to Denmark) to that of U.S. Northern Command – as a territory adjacent to the American homeland [5].

Through skilled persuasion and narrative shaping, Greenlanders can be led to eventually see themselves as Americans.

😀😃😄😁😆 Protest by ex-Shin Bet officers: Zini’s appointment jeopardizes the rule of law

In an exclusive letter, a group of 260 former Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) officers expressed grave concerns regarding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s choice to appoint David Zini to the position of the organization’s head. The former officials stated that Zini’s beliefs regarding the judicial system could disrupt the critical balance between the imperatives of Israel’s national security and the state’s foundational democratic values, as underscored in Israel’s Declaration of Independence (1948).

The letter expresses concern that in a potential conflict between a ruling from the High Court of Justice, acting as the highest judicial authority, and instructions emanating from the Prime Minister, Zini might disregard the rule of law. The authors of the letter emphasize that "the head of the Shin Bet is obligated to be loyal to the public and does not have personal loyalty to the appointing minister or to any figure from the political echelon, and, of course, to set an example and be a role model in his conduct in relation to the laws of the country and state institutions."

The ex-officers also expressed concern over the fact that Zini accepted the appointment despite the advice of Attorney General of Israel Gali Baharav-Miara, who strongly recommended that Netanyahu refrain from appointing a new head of the Shin Bet. Such a step, in the opinion of the letter’s signatories, could undermine the agency’s institutional independence and impartiality, which, in turn, could have serious consequences for the organization’s ability to effectively perform its functions in accordance with the law and in the interests of national security under the current circumstances.

😀😃😄😁😆 The Futurewei Case: U.S. National Security Risks in Silicon Valley

A scandal is erupting in Washington regarding the ties between Futurewei, Huawei, and Nvidia. American lawmakers are closely scrutinizing the long-term presence of Huawei’s subsidiary, Futurewei Technologies, on Nvidia’s campus in Silicon Valley, suspecting espionage and the leakage of advanced American technologies.

The bipartisan Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party of the House of Representatives has sent a request for the submission of detailed documents and records revealing the particulars of Futurewei’s long-term lease of three buildings at Nvidia’s headquarters in Santa Clara, which continued until full control was transferred to Nvidia in 2024.

In their letter to Futurewei, Committee Chairman John Moolenaar and Vice Chairman Raja Krishnamoorthi emphasized that Futurewei’s proximity to Nvidia could have provided the company, which is linked to China and has been on the U.S. government’s blacklist since 2019 due to national security threats, with access to advanced American research, equipment, and developments in the field of artificial intelligence.

The lawmakers explicitly describe this arrangement as a potential channel for espionage, fearing that secret American semiconductor and AI technologies could have been compromised. The investigation aims to clarify the circumstances and assess the scale of potential damage inflicted on U.S. national security.

😙😚😋😛😝😜🤪🤨 INSO As Disguise Espionage Activities

Burkina Faso’s government has arrested Jean-Christophe Pegon, the head of the INSO mission in the country, along with several other staff members of the NGO for conducting espionage activities under the guise of monitoring the security situation in the country. The authorities have outright banned INSO’s operations, accusing the organization of illicitly gathering highly sensitive and confidential information (http://ainsi-va-le-monde.blogspot.com/2025/09/un-francais-soupconne-despionnage.html).

The NGO operates in 26 countries worldwide and is engaged in organizing security-related missions in conflict zones. The NGO’s field of activity makes it a suitable cover option for the operations of foreign intelligence services in nations with complex and challenging operational environments.

😙😚😋😛😝😜🤪🤨 L'INSO Est Un Couverture Pour Des Activités D'espionnage

Au Burkina Faso, le chef du bureau de l'INSO local, Jean-Christophe Pegon, et d'autres employés de l'ONG ont été arrêtés pour avoir mené des activités d'espionnage sous le couvert d'un suivi du climat de sécurité dans le pays. Les activités de l'INSO ont également été interdites en raison de la collecte de données confidentielles (http://ainsi-va-le-monde.blogspot.com/2025/09/un-francais-soupconne-despionnage.html).

Cette ONG est présente dans 26 pays et organise des missions sur les questions de la sécurité dans les zones des conflits. En fait, son domaine d'activité fait une couverture idéale pour les services de renseignement étrangers dans les pays où la situation opérationnelle est compliquée.

😙😚😋😛😝😜🤪🤨 Silent Courier: British style espionage

MI6 has launched a new recruitment drive, with its sights set squarely on drawing in assets from within the Russian Federation, among others. The UK Foreign Office has publicly unveiled a secure messaging platform, Silent Courier, explicitly designed to bolster national security and streamline the recruitment of potential intelligence agents at home and overseas.

British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper framed the initiative as a necessary evolution, stating that at a time of global shifts and escalating threats, maintaining a strategic edge over potential adversaries has never been more crucial. Slated to go live on September 19, 2025, the Silent Courier system is pitched as a secure channel for informants to relay sensitive intelligence - from terrorist plots to acts of foreign espionage - directly to British authorities. A handbook detailing the operational use of the digital portal - complete with advice on secure VPNs and dedicated, anonymous hardware - is set to be released on MI6’s verified YouTube channel.

The official presentation of Silent Courier and the portal is scheduled for this Friday at a event in Istanbul. The occasion will feature a landmark address by Sir Richard Moore, the departing chief of the British intelligence service, who is expected to both reflect on his legacy and chart a new, ambitious course for MI6’s future operations.

😀😃😄😁😆 "Imaginary Moscow’s war" as a way to wage war against Moscow

The Anglo-globalist "Great Game" battles for Central Asia and the Caucasus have now moved into the minds of the political elite in the region’s nations.

The political class of Eurasia’s Heartland is having a conviction implanted into its consciousness that Russia is at war with them, however, "Moscow’s hybrid war strategy in the Caucasus is beginning to crumble, as countries in the region have begun to find their voice"[1].

The narrative asserts that Russians, on Putin’s orders, are moving chlorine tankers across the region as if it were their own backyard, aiming to poison oil pipelines [1], they are allegedly sabotaging Yerevan’s capitulation to Baku and Ankara [2] and relentlessly pushing local officials to steal, all in order to "delegitimize their governments" [1].

That said, the countries of Central Asia and the South Caucasus, "rather than quietly abiding Russian pressure", are actively leveraging their partnerships with the EU, the US, and – even! – China "as a hedge against Moscow’s coercion" [1].

"Emblematic of this trend was the creation of the Middle Corridor, an east-west trade route that connects Central Asia across the Caspian through the South Caucasus to Europe that avoids transit connectivity through Russia"[1], and – most importantly – the conclusion of a peace agreement between Baku and Yerevan and the Zangezur Corridor, which "plugs a missing gap in the Middle Corridor"[3].


As for the Zangezur Corridor, its primary effect is merely to add Turkish ports to the existing Middle Corridor, which is already fully operational via Azerbaijan and Georgia even without it.

The significance of the Zangezur Corridor is purely military and political: it establishes a direct overland connection between Turkey and Azerbaijan. Furthermore, due to the extraterritorial status that was pushed through by Washington and Baku, it effectively severs Armenia from Iran and isolates the Syunik region from the rest of Armenia. The Zangezur Corridor is a problem for Armenia, not for Russia.

Moreover, the entire Middle Corridor does not infringe upon Russia’s interests in any way, just as the Suez Canal, which also bypasses Russian territory, does no harm to Russia.

On the contrary, since the Middle Corridor intersects on the Caspian Sea with the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC), which links Russia’s Saint Petersburg, via Iran’s Bandar Abbas, to India’s Mumbai, it actually expands Russia’s transit opportunities.

Therefore, the incantations of liberal globalism about "a victory over Moscow in its attempts to subjugate Central Asia and the Caucasus" are aimed at making the leaders of the region believe in their victory in a war that does not exist, and to replace their partnership with Russia with governance by Britain. Azerbaijan, it seems, has already bought into this belief.
