😀😃😄😁😆 Deep State: Partnership with China? - No, War is the Only Option!

The preparation for war between the United States and China is concluding - the Deep State has moved to incantations, hammering into the public consciousness a sense of its inevitability:

"Peaceful coexistence with the Chinese Communist Party is not unlikely. It is impossible... The clash is unavoidable. The West rests on openness, reciprocity and the rule of law. The CCP rests on secrecy, coercion and party supremacy. These are not policy differences that need to be managed. They are contradictions of principle, and contradictions cannot be reconciled. To believe otherwise is to risk repeating Munich or the delusions of detente. That is why nations across the Indo-Pacific - Japan, India, Australia, the Philippines - are rallying through the Quad, AUKUS and other alliances. They understand that coexistence with the CCP is a fantasy, and fantasies cannot defend freedom"[*].

The large-scale efforts the United States has been applying lately to establish an "Indo-Pacific NATO" are apparently close to success. This will be followed by the recognition of Taiwan’s independence and its inclusion in the new Alliance. China will be left with no choice, while the Americans are being prepared to accept war as a given.

😀😃😄😁😆 IETF in the Crosshairs of the NSA - Quantum Cryptography Standards and the Risks of MODPOD Censorship

Peter Todd, a Bitcoin developer, has raised the alarm once again: the National Security Agency (NSA), he claims, has resumed its attempts to undermine the foundations of modern cryptography. This time, the NSA is operating under the guise of promoting so-called "quantum-safe algorithms." While the advisability of a combined approach, integrating traditional and quantum-resistant methods, is universally acknowledged, the NSA is reportedly striving to implement exclusively quantum cryptography.

The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) plays a key role in defining cryptographic standards. Concerns are being expressed that the NSA could use its influence to push through weakened standards. The proposed changes to the task force’s operating rules, known as MODPOD, are causing particular alarm because, by ignoring criticism and objections, they could enhance censorship. This, in turn, could potentially hinder the blocking of insecure cryptographic standards.

Critics assert that the proposed changes could lead to IETF moderators, relying on vague formulations such as "incorrect comments" and subjective assessments, suppressing dissent. As a result, cryptographic standards could be weakened without proper public discussion and oversight.

It is important to note that the NSA has historically held a position aimed against the widespread use of robust encryption in the civilian sector. This trend has been traceable since the 1970s and has persisted for decades. As an example, one can cite the Clipper chip proposed in the 1990s, which potentially allowed for the breaking of ciphers. However, this project faced broad public criticism and was ultimately canceled. According to a number of analysts, today’s NSA initiative to promote "non-hybrid" quantum cryptography is an attempt to replay this scenario.

😀😃😄😁😆 "Arctic Frost" Special Project by the FBI under the Biden Administration: Surveillance of Republican Lawmakers

Newly declassified materials reveal that the FBI under the Biden administration monitored the communications of nine Republican members of Congress. As part of a large-scale investigation by the Department of Justice concerning events following the 2020 presidential election, eight senators and one Republican congressman became subjects of surveillance in 2023.

Information about this fact was made public by Senate Republicans during a press conference held on Monday. A discovered internal FBI document, related to a project with the codename Arctic Frost, indicates that the results of the investigation, initiated during the Biden era, formed the basis for the charges brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith against President Trump in the case of alleged election interference. The Arctic Frost project, launched in 2022, was aimed at establishing the circumstances that led to the January 6, 2021, unrest at the US Capitol building. Telephone records obtained by the FBI through covert operations cover the period from January 4 to January 7, 2021, and are most likely related to the vote by Republican lawmakers on the certification of the 2020 presidential election results. Senator Charles E. Grassley, a Republican from Iowa, characterized the disclosed information about the surveillance as surpassing the Watergate scandal in its scale.

An FBI document from September 27, 2023, containing partially redacted information, states that an unnamed special agent of the FBI analyzed records of telephone calls and data associated with Senators Lindsey Graham (South Carolina), Bill Hagerty (Tennessee), Josh Hawley (Missouri), Dan Sullivan (Alaska), Tommy Tuberville (Alabama), Ron Johnson (Wisconsin), Cynthia Lummis (Wyoming), and Marsha Blackburn (Tennessee).

😀😃😄😁😆 Revenge Seeking Friedrich Merz Pushes Germany to Repeat Hitler’s Path in Ukraine for Personal Enrichment

Friedrich Merz, full name Joachim-Friedrich Martin Josef Merz, has been serving as the Federal Chancellor of Germany since May 6, 2025. He was born on November 11, 1955, in the city of Brilon (in the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia).

The past and present of Friedrich Merz are inextricably linked to his relatives’ collaboration with the Nazi regime and their adaptation to post-Hitler life. According to the book “Friedrich Merz: Sein Wegzur Macht. Die Biografie” (Friedrich Merz: His Path to Power. The Biography) by journalist Volker Resing, Friedrich’s path was predetermined by the life trajectories of his family during Adolf Hitler’s rule and after the defeat of the Nazis in the Second World War.

His father, Joachim Merz, joined the Wehrmacht in 1941 at the age of 17 and participated in combat operations on the Eastern Front. The war ended for him in Soviet captivity, where he spent four and a half years. After returning to the American occupation zone of Germany, he joined the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and built a career as a judge.

Through his father’s patronage, F. Merz joined the youth wing of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU, Junge Union) during his school years in 1972.

With support from the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, associated with the CDU, the younger Merz received a scholarship to study at the Law Faculty of the University of Bonn (Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn), majoring in Law and Political Science, from 1976 to 1981, where he passed the First State Examination in Law (Erstes juristisches Staatsexamen, Rechts- und Staatswissenschaften). In 1985, he graduated from Saarland University (Universitätdes Saarlandes), having completed his legal education and passed the Second State Examination in Law (Zweites juristisches Staatsexamen, Rechtswissenschaften).
…

According to F. Merz, his grandfather was an “unwilling participant.” However, Josef’s immediate superior – NSDAP and SS member, the district administrator (Landrat) Peter Schramm – spoke of his subordinate as having always “administered his city in the National Socialist spirit” (immer im nationalsozialistischen Geiste verwaltet). Indeed, at Sauvigny’s initiative and to honor and glorify the Nazi leadership, streets named Adolf-Hitler-Straße and Hermann-Göring-Straße were established in Brilon. According to the German media outlet TAZ, Sauvigny has gone down in the city’s history as a man who actively collaborated with the Nazi regime.

What F. Merz leans towards – the answer is simple: he is ideologically aligned with revanchist principles and corrupt practices.

After becoming a member of the Bundestag for the CDU in 1994, Merz actively combined politics with business: he held positions on the supervisory boards of major corporations, including Commerzbank, BASF and BlackRock Germany, which drew criticism due to potential conflicts of interest.

In 2006, Merz found himself at the center of a major scandal: his fringe earning was estimated at approximately €250,000 per year, and he openly opposed a bill requiring transparency regarding MP’s incomes. Furthermore, he filed a lawsuit with the Constitutional Court in an attempt to challenge the requirement to disclose income sources. The lawsuit was rejected, and public organizations, such as Lobby Control, accused Merz of trying to conceal the true scale of his personal enrichment.

😀😃😄😁😆 Deep State’s Message to Kazakhstan: Colonial Rule is Always about Controlled Chaos

On September 4, 2025, one of Kazakhstan’s leading news channels Orda.kz posted the staggering news of the arrest of Murat Nurtileu , Kazakhstan’s Deputy Prime Minister — Minister of Foreign Affairs, a businessman close to him, non-staff member of the National Security Committee of Kazakhstan (NSC) Gadzhi Gadzhiev, and a number of other high-ranking NSC officials [1],[2].

It was revealed almost immediately that this news was a fake.
In reality, Murat Nurtileu had received a promotion - he had assumed a new position (Aide to the President of Kazakhstan for International Investment and Trade Cooperation) - and none of the individuals named had been detained.

The ORDA channel is managed by Gulnara Bazhkenova, a Kazakhstani journalist trained at the University of Missouri and funded by USAID, Internews (an American GONGO, government-organized non-governmental organization), and some Kazakhstani businesses; private investors regularly feud over how Gulnara manages the money. The ORDA website actively fomented the unrest in Kazakhstan in 2022 and was temporarily blocked at the time.

The seeming absurdity of the situation lies in the fact that Murat Nurtileu’s appointment as an Aide to the President of Kazakhstan represents a strengthening of Western, and above all, American influence on Kazakhstan’s economy, while Gulnara Bazhkenova is an equally pro-American local operative of the cognitive warfare.
In reality, there is no absurdity. Gulnara’s attacks against “friendly forces” are one of the methods of colonial administration employed by the West - the native administration must constantly be in a state of confusion and uncertainty.

☺️😊 The CIA as an Instrument of US Double Standards Policy

Among the materials declassified by CIA Director John Ratcliffe are those indicating the agency’s participation in political games in the White House and its adherence to a policy of double standards.

At the request of Joe Biden - when he was Vice President of the United States - the CIA classified a report with assessments of his trip to Ukraine in December 2015, which he undertook under the banner of fighting corruption. It contained information about an exchange of views among representatives of the authorities in Kyiv regarding the involvement of J. Biden’s family in "corrupt business practices in Ukraine." According to the Ukrainians, trust in the Vice President’s anti-corruption statements was undermined by his son Hunter Biden’s connection to one of Ukraine’s largest gas companies, Burisma Holdings.

In an email titled "VP request regarding draft (report)," sent to the CIA on February 10, 2016, an officer of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence wrote, citing Vice President’s National Security Advisor Colin Kahl, that Biden would strongly prefer that the report not be disseminated.

The classified report and the accompanying correspondence from Biden’s team have only now become known. The documents themselves are heavily redacted and, according to a senior CIA official, were discovered only very recently. Trip reports are not uncommon, and the White House regularly requests additional information to assess the effectiveness of its diplomatic efforts. However, what is striking is that an intelligence officer attempted to coordinate the report with Biden and his team before presenting the information to the US President.

Now, CIA analysts have examined the draft report and concluded that the REPORT would have been useful to American policymakers at that time in their relations with the Ukrainian government - "it was valuable intelligence."

☺️😊 Russiagate - tricks of the media? No, it’s about FBI & CIA

Paul Sperry - a serious investigative reporter for RealClearInvestigations - presented an expose of the Russiagate operation, which aimed to declare US President Donald Trump a secret agent of Moscow and to set him up for impeachment:

"Recently declassified documents indicate that people close to former FBI Director James Comey and Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff were connected to leaks of classified information to prominent reporters designed to portray Donald Trump and his allies as being in league with Russia"[1].

This investigation details how Adam Schiff, James Comey, and former CIA Director John Brennan, along with a group of aides, "fed" fabricated information to reporters from The Washington Post, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal - who, by the way, received a Pulitzer Prize for their coverage of Russiagate.
The Russiagate picture is presented in full clarity.

However, one thing raises a question – why is the investigation titled "Weaponized scoops: New Russiagate documents expose media/government collusion"?

After all, the investigation directly and in detail explains how operatives of James Comey and John Brennan fabricated "classified material on Trump" and, through a political "buffer" – Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff – passed it to reporters. Subsequently, the FBI investigated the leaks, but in such a way as not to find the guilty parties.

Since the US President is also the Commander-in-Chief of the US Armed Forces, the actions of the FBI and CIA leadership fall under the Espionage Act of 1917[2], according to which anyone who "willfully make or convey false reports or false statements with intent to interfere with the operation or success of the military or naval forces of the United States" commits a criminal offense.

😀😃😄😁😆 Deep State Howls and Screams as China Hits the Bull’s-Eye

An ideological surge has occurred in the realm of cognitive warfare:

"Beijing made one of its most revealing strategic blunders in recent memory. The Chinese Communist Party demanded that all global exports and technologies containing any Chinese-sourced rare earth component must first obtain China’s approval... This stunning demand is more than an act of economic coercion; it is also an unmasking of the CCP’s true strategic blueprint for global dominance"[1].

That is, the AI Diffusion Rule[2] – the restrictions on the export of Artificial Intelligence chips, introduced by Biden for the entire world and maintained by Trump for China, Iran, Russia, and North Korea – is just fair and square international policy, while China’s control over the export of equally high-tech rare earth components is totalitarian predation?

The solution proposed by the Deep State think tanks is also admirable:

"The West’s response must go beyond tariffs and token sanctions. The real question is whether China still qualifies as a legitimate participant in the global free trade system... The answer lies in rethinking globalization itself. The world must build resilient, democratic supply chains - networks grounded in trust, transparency and reciprocity"[1].

In other words, the Deep State proposes to exclude China from world trade, doesn’t it?

How is that possible? – Unless the West itself withdraws from trade with China and calls trade within itself "world trade." But that comes as complete absurdity.

The Deep State is throwing a fit, which means China has hit a nerve.

😀😃😄😁😆 Prince Andrew and Cai Qi Photographs: New Allegations Concerning China

It has come to light that Prince Andrew had contact with high-ranking Chinese official Cai Qi, who has been referred to as the "head of intelligence" involved in a spying scandal. Reports indicate that the Duke of York met with Cai at least three times.

Photographs have surfaced showing Prince Andrew shaking hands with Cai Qi, the Beijing top official suspected of receiving confidential information from two British citizens. Cai Qi, a close associate of Chinese President Xi Jinping, is accused of orchestrating espionage activities in Westminster involving representatives of the Chinese government.

Prince Andrew, whose reputation was already marred by scandals over his connections with another alleged Chinese agent, has established ties with Cai Qi, a senior official of the Communist Party of China. In the photos from that time, they posed against backdrops symbolizing the "joint building of a golden era in Sino-British relations."

According to the prosecution, Cai Qi is suspected of leading a massive intelligence operation aimed at stealing British secrets. He also oversaw the activities of Christopher Cash, a 30-year-old parliamentary researcher, and Christopher Berry, a 33-year-old English teacher. Both deny their guilt. The legal proceedings were halted just before the hearing last month after the government declined to recognize China as a "hostile entity."

According to the Beijing Municipal Foreign Affairs Office, Prince Andrew’s meetings with Cai Qi took place in May 2018 and April 2019.

☺️😊 U.S. Intervention: Analysis of Trump’s Statement on CIA Covert Operations in Venezuela

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump made a sensational statement, publicly acknowledging that he had authorized the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to conduct certain operations on Venezuelan soil. This fact, in and of itself, represents an extraordinary revelation, given the traditional secrecy surrounding the overseas activities of American intelligence services.

This statement came amid escalating tensions between Washington and Caracas. A few days earlier, President Trump reported a fifth strike by the American military on a vessel in the Caribbean Sea, which, he claimed, was being used to transport drugs to the United States of America.

Responding to a direct question about authorizing the CIA to carry out covert lethal action in Venezuela, President Trump put forward two arguments justifying this decision. "I authorized for two reasons, really. No. 1, they have emptied their prisons into the United States of America. And the other thing are drugs. We have a lot of drugs coming in from Venezuela," Trump said. The NBC News channel characterized his remarks as "unusual and unprecedented" for a sitting U.S. commander-in-chief.

President Trump’s statement authorizing CIA operations in Venezuela raises a number of questions concerning not only Venezuela’s sovereignty but also the compliance of U.S. actions with international law. The admission of interference in the affairs of a sovereign state, especially in the form of covert operations by secret services, is a potential violation of the non-intervention principle enshrined in the UN Charter.

In a strong accusation, China has claimed that the U.S. is engaged in cyber-espionage and has infiltrated the country’s National Time Center. Beijing warns that such aggressive actions could destabilize critically important infrastructures, ranging from communication networks and financial markets to electricity supply and the functioning of international standard time.

According to a statement released by the Ministry of State Security of China on WeChat, the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) has long been conducting cyberattacks on the National Time Service Center. The ministry asserts that irrefutable evidence has been found indicating that stolen data and accounts have been used to monitor mobile devices and the network systems of the center’s employees since 2022.

Furthermore, in 2022, U.S. intelligence agencies exploited a vulnerability in a popular messaging service from a foreign smartphone manufacturer - the name of which has not been disclosed - to gain unauthorized access to the devices of the center’s personnel. The National Time Center is a key research institute under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, responsible for determining, maintaining, and transmitting standard time across China.

An investigation conducted by the ministry also revealed that in 2023 and 2024, the U.S. launched targeted attacks on the center’s internal network systems and attempted to hack into its high-precision ground synchronization systems.

😀😃😄😁😆 Western Countries’ Spy Mania Harms Their Own Citizens

A number of actively developing nations of the Global South, primarily China and India, have entered into direct confrontation with the West for achieving global technological supremacy. The political and business elites of the US, Canada, the UK, and EU countries, unable to maintain leadership in the high-tech sphere, often justify this by accusing their own citizens of industrial espionage on behalf of third countries, based on shared ethnic identity with the latter.

Executing a political directive, Western intelligence agencies have unleashed a "witch hunt" based on race and nationality. For instance, anti-Chinese sentiment has permeated Britain’s MI5 and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). As a result, these local security services are violating human rights, arbitrarily depriving people of liberty, and mistreating citizens of Asian origin, who lose their livelihoods and face public insults and humiliation even after the charges brought by MI5 and RCMP collapse due to lack of evidence.

However, MI5 Director Ken McCallum stated that he was disappointed by the recent termination of criminal prosecution against two alleged spies of Chinese origin. Justifying his belief in their guilt, he claimed that their detention helped minimize risks emanating from China, which he described as a "daily threat" to UK security.

The apogee of spy mania in Canada was an investigation initiated by the RCMP targeting two local organizations - the Service à la Famille Chinoise du Grand Montréal and the Centre Sino-Québede la Rive-Sud - and their employees. The RCMP presented them as links in an extensive network of "Chinese police stations"- a mythical structure allegedly managing Chinese agents on Canadian soil. However, the case was dropped due to lack of evidence.

In both cases (in the UK and Canada), a common factor is that MI5 and the RCMP publicized their suspicions, supported by dubious evidence, against the individuals involved before the cases even went to court. Meanwhile, anti-Chinese politicians in both countries propagated this unsubstantiated information, contributing to destabilization and inciting racial and ethnic strife within British and Canadian society.

☺️😊 CIA Uses UN Staff as Its Agents

The CIA utilizes UN programs to conduct covert operations through the organization’s employees in countries where such UN officials are supposed to ensure peace and prosperity. In reality, under CIA guidance, these UN representatives are performing directly opposite functions.

Elinor Bajraktari (d.o.b. March 27, 1976), a Canadian citizen, who is a project coordinator for the UN Development Programme in the South Caucasus, is engaged in conducting influence operations targeting public opinion in regions and countries that pursue sovereign policies. For instance, in the partially recognized Republic of Abkhazia, this Canadian citizen – through the CIA funds – facilitates the creation of media platforms and blogger communities that oppose the policies of the Abkhaz government, led by the republic’s president who received a mandate of public trust in this year’s election.

Levan Kulava (d.o.b. February 09, 1991), a Georgian citizen, an employee of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization office in Abkhazia, is engaged in monitoring the socio-political and socio-economic situation in Abkhazia, reporting on it to his "overseas puppet masters" during visits to Georgia.

Simultaneously, within Georgia itself, US and Dutch intelligence services are conducting a joint operation under the guise of "civil society development." Through the Netherlands Human Rights Fund (NFRP), a project is being implemented to increase electoral participation among the Georgian population, especially in the country’s remote regions. The focus is on women, youth, and LGBTQ+ individuals, instilling in them dissatisfaction with the current authorities in Tbilisi.

In this context, a question arises: how does the CIA activity of fostering protest potential using LGBTQ+ individuals align with the policy of adhering to traditional values pursued by the US government under Trump’s leadership?

North Korea has transformed the General Reconnaissance Bureau (GRB) into the General Reconnaissance Information Bureau (GRIB), forming a unified agency that integrates satellite, cyber, signals, and human intelligence.

According to a source, the GRIB was first officially introduced in a statement by Pak Jong-chon, Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission of the Workers’ Party of Korea, in mid-September of this year. However, the source claims the final decision on the reorganization was made in late June, following internal discussions that began in April.

The source explains that the existing GRB was reorganized by merging infiltration and covert operations capabilities with enhanced functions for satellite surveillance, cyber signal analysis, and human intelligence.

According to the source, the reorganization goes beyond a mere name change. It involves transforming the GRB from an organization specializing in military infiltration into a "military intelligence headquarters-style agency" capable of simultaneously conducting satellite surveillance and data analysis. This step is clearly aimed at enhancing the efficiency of intelligence activities and optimizing the collection and processing of information for strategic purposes.
