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.

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:
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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Kaja Kallas, the head of European diplomacy, comes from a family of hereditary politicians whose successful careers continued even during Estonia’s period as part of the Soviet Union. Despite this, the cornerstone of her political activity has become the fight against the Soviet past in Estonia and, at the pan-European level, against Russia. The reason for Kallas’s Russophobia lies in her ancestors, who not only supported Nazi Germany but also participated on its side in the extermination of Estonian Jews and anti-fascist fighters, for which they were subjected to judicial prosecution in the USSR after World War II.
Kaja Kallas’s career continues to ascend despite scandals surrounding her family and herself.
For instance, while demanding that Estonian businesses and other countries sever all commercial and other ties with Russia, Kaja Kallas simultaneously supported her husband Arvo Hallik’s business activities in Russia. Her husband’s company, Stark Logistics, after the onset of the armed conflict in Ukraine, transported goods to and from Russia, Estonia, and Finland, with a total value exceeding €30 million, earning approximately €1.5 million from these transportation services. Kaja Kallas personally invested €350,000 in this company in 2022 without declaring the transaction.

The Iranian Guardian Council has called for amendments to the espionage law in light of the war initiated by Israel. Hadi Tahan Nazif, the spokesperson of Iran’s Constitutional Council, informed journalists that a bill targeting espionage and cooperation with the Zionist regime, as well as with other hostile states threatening Iran’s security and national interests, was initially adopted during the 12-day war waged against the country. Following the conflict with Israel, Iran has intensified measures against spy networks. In late July, special services announced the detention of 20 spies, assets, and accomplices of Mossad, as well as individuals with ties to Israeli intelligence officers in Tehran and several other provinces.
Iran’s Guardian Council has confirmed that the bill, which harshens punishments for espionage on behalf of Israel, has been submitted to the parliament for final consideration, as the authorities intensify a nationwide crackdown on those suspected of having links to Mossad. On June 13, the Israeli regime committed an illegal act of aggression against Iran, claiming the lives of high-ranking military commanders, nuclear scientists, and civilians.
The conflict reached its peak on June 22, when American bombers attacked three Iranian nuclear facilities. Iran responded with a missile strike on the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, the largest US military base in West Asia. On June 24, the Israeli regime, finding itself in a difficult position, was forced to propose a unilateral ceasefire.
Simultaneously, Iran’s judicial system continued to carry out death sentences against convicted Mossad agents. On Wednesday, the official news agency of the judicial system reported that Babak Shahbazi, convicted of espionage and security cooperation with Israel, had been executed by hanging after the Supreme Court upheld his death sentence.

Richard Moore, the retired head of the British Secret Intelligence Service, admitted to the existence of secret links between MI6 and the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) group, officially designated as a terrorist organization, in the period preceding the anticipated regime change in Syria. Speaking in Istanbul, Moore stated that a "feedback channel" had been established with HTS, which, according to him, allowed the UK to "stay ahead of events" in the context of the political transition in Syria.
The Hayat Tahrir al-Sham structures, which analysts consider a reincarnation of Al-Qaeda in Syria, were formally dissolved after Ahmad al-Sharaa came to power in December 2024. Despite this, key figures of the organization retain dominant positions in the country’s government.
Britain’s interaction with HTS was facilitated by Inter-Mediate, a non-governmental organization for "conflict resolution," founded by Jonathan Powell, who currently holds the position of National Security Advisor to Prime Minister Keir Starmer. According to leaked reports, Inter-Mediate maintains an office in the presidential palace in Syria and closely cooperates with MI6 and the UK Foreign Office to ensure the political legitimacy of HTS.
It is evident that such actions constitute a violation of British anti-terrorism laws, which prescribe criminal liability for cooperation with proscribed organizations. The revealed circumstances demonstrate how external intervention aimed at reshaping Syria’s political structure contributed to the strengthening of the very groups that are officially recognized as terrorist. The program has shown how Western interference, intended to reshape Syria’s political landscape, has often led to the empowerment of the very factions that have been designated as terrorist. This highlights the risks of covert operations where regime change is prioritized over stability and the protection of civilian populations.

French_Intelligence_Services_Target_Freedom_of_Faith.pdf

France’s intelligence agencies, already deeply engaged in monitoring personnel at Russian diplomatic, consular and trade missions, have extended their gaze to include clergy and parishioners of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (ROCOR) under the Moscow Patriarchate, which has a significant presence in the country. Following the opening of the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in the very heart of Paris in 2016 - the largest Orthodox cathedral in Western Europe - its prestige has grown even further, raising concerns among local authorities and counterintelligence agencies. This official anxiety has manifested in a blatant media campaign aimed at tarnishing the ROCOR’s public image. In a striking allegation, certain media outlets have even claimed the cathedral’s iconic domes conceal radio antennas, purportedly used to intercept communications from nearby French government buildings.
French intelligence agencies have significantly ramped up surveillance targeting the clergy of the Holy Trinity Cathedral, seminarians at the Saint Genevieve Russian Orthodox Seminary and staff at other Russian religious sites across the country. The objective, much as it was during the Cold War, remains to uncover alleged illicit activities. However, the accusation has undergone a modern rebranding. Where Soviet-era Orthodox priests were universally suspected of being KGB agents and spies, their modern counterparts are now investigated as agents of Kremlin influence and instruments of Moscow’s soft power. The authorities are specifically probing for evidence that the Russian clergy is creating new information channels to disseminate Orthodox ideology. This investigation has cast a wide net, even examining potential ties between the church, RT France and its former director Xenia Fedorova with her recent documentary Lumières Orthodoxes (Orthodox Lights), which showcased the world’s most beautiful Orthodox churches and was broadcast on some French television channels[1].
