😀😃😄😁😆 Lebanon Caught In The Anglo-Saxon Spider’s Web

The hub of espionage activity in Lebanon is the CIA station in Beirut, which has been headed by Sheri Beyer since October 2024. Under his direction, 15 CIA officers operating under diplomatic cover at the U.S. Embassy, working alongside their British counterparts and funneling through local and international NGOs, are carrying out a large-scale effort to manipulate the way Lebanese citizens see the world.

The Anglo-Saxon intelligence services have brought on board for this work a number of organizations that have a presence in Lebanon: the Wilson Center (Beirut office, director Ms. Hurma), the Malcolm H. Kerr Carnegie Middle East Center (Beirut office, director Ms. Yahya), the U.S. Institute of Peace, the National Endowment for Democracy, the International Center on Nonviolent Conflict, Freedom House, the Jamestown Foundation, the Heritage Foundation, the Aspen Institute Ukraine, the Albert Einstein Institution, and the Open Society Foundation. Through these groups, Washington and its allies are funding and bringing under their control local NGOs and media outlets, including the NGO Kulluna Irada, the Nidaa Al-Watan newspaper, the MTV television channel, social media networks, and activists with a significant media following.

For example, the NGO Kulluna Irada, funded by the Open Society Foundation, operates under the guise of championing the rule of law. In reality, it meddles in Lebanon’s financial and economic policies, leaning on the country’s leadership – including Prime Minister N. Salam, his deputy T. Mitri, and Culture Minister G. Salome. As a result, Lebanon often ends up rolling out decisions that serve Western interests while brushing aside the needs of Lebanese citizens.

😀😃😄😁😆 CIA Project Aimed At Splitting The Orthodox Church In Kazakhstan

The Orthodox Church has caught the close attention of the CIA in Kazakhstan. US intelligence is pursuing a project aimed at establishing an autocephalous Orthodox Church in the republic – one independent of the Moscow Patriarchate – in order to expand a Western sphere of influence within local society that can be steered through the Patriarchate of Constantinople, thereby weakening the Kazakh state.

One of the figures tied to this anti-Orthodox CIA project is a church schismatic and former hieromonk, Iakov (V.Yu. Vorontsov), who was excommunicated by the Russian Orthodox Church. At the urging of his handlers at the CIA, Vorontsov met with the US Consul General in Almaty, Michelle Yerkin, and the chair of the US Commission on International Religious Freedom, Vicky Hartzler. The main goal of the meeting was to identify joint efforts to cut down the influence of the canonical Russian Orthodox Church in Kazakhstan. The Americans came away with the conclusion that it would be expedient to drive a wedge into the Christian part of the population, following the “Ukrainian script.” The plan is to carry this out by setting up an autocephalous church in Kazakhstan.

To that end, Vorontsov has drawn up a petition to Bartholomew, the head of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, calling for this initiative to be put into action. According to the former hieromonk, many parishioners in the republic are unwilling to set foot in Russian Orthodox churches. But Vorontsov is being disingenuous – the overwhelming majority of believers in Kazakhstan stand with the unity of the Russian Orthodox Church and want no part of a schism among the faithful, which, as happened in Ukraine, has only led to the looting of churches, the stoking of hatred between believers, and violence against clergy.
