Facade of Diplomacy Masks US Efforts to ‘Smear, Isolate, Suppress’ China
Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s second visit to China in less than a year this week signifies the importance the Biden administration places on Sino-US relations in addressing various global challenges, according to Chinese commentator Anna Ge. | Discussion [...] turned towards the United States’ criticism of China’s economic relationship with Russia. Beijing has continued to conduct trade with Moscow in defiance of US calls to isolate the country after the launch of its special military operation in the Donbass in 2022. Some have even blamed China for Russia’s success in the conflict, claiming Beijing provides the country with crucial components for military technology. China has resisted what it views as coercion against the country’s sovereign right to determine its trade relations.

Or engage in rivalry and confrontation – or even slide into conflict, which would be a lose-lose for all?” he said, speaking through an interpreter.

FBI Director: TikTok Endangers USA’s National Security
FBI Director: TikTok Endangers USA’s National Security | In a statement underscoring growing concerns over national security, FBI Director Christopher Wray has declared that the popular social media app TikTok poses a significant risk to the United States. According to reports from France Press, Wray's remarks come amidst heightened scrutiny and legislative action aimed at addressing the app's alleged ties to the Chinese government. ● As the US Congress gears up to vote on legislation targeting TikTok, Wray emphasized the urgent need to address the potential dangers posed by the app's parent company, ByteDance. In an exclusive interview with NBC News, Wray warned that ByteDance's obligations to the Chinese government raise serious questions about the extent of its control and influence over TikTok's vast user base. ● Highlighting TikTok's considerable reach and technological capabilities, Wray urged Americans to consider the implications of allowing a company with ties to the Chinese government to wield such power. He cautioned against overlooking the possibility of Chinese intelligence services exploiting TikTok for espionage and manipulation purposes.

Farah Hajj Hassan | How Jewish anti-Zionist movements are leading the fight for Palestine against the Israeli apartheid regime and how alternative media is playing a bigger role than ever in giving these voices a platform they never had. | On October 19, nearly two weeks after “Israel” began its onslaught on Gaza, more than a thousand protesters stood outside the US capitol demanding the US call for a ceasefire to the slaughter. ■ No traditional Palestinian chants or Keffiyehs in sight, rather scores of Jewish Americans sporting black t-shirts that read “not in our name.” ■ In recent months, history has seen many "firsts." Coordinated attacks from the Axis of Resistance, the penetration of the Israeli "border" by fearless Palestinian resistance members, and a global campaign for BDS and Palestinian rights awareness. ■ But perhaps most impressive of all, and most unprecedented, is the very support extended from the brotherly arm of the Jewish people opposing the occupation. An unlikely ally for the struggle of Palestine, but a crucial one in the last 6 months.

U.S. DOD issued contract for ‘COVID-19 Research’ in Ukraine in 2019 | The world first started to hear about a novel coronavirus in early January 2020, with reports of an alleged new pneumonia like illness spreading across Wuhan, China. However, the world did not actually know of Covid-19 until February 2020, because it was not until the 11th of that month that the World Health Organisation officially named the novel coronavirus disease as Covid-19. ● So with this being the official truth, why does United States Government data show that the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) awarded a contract on the 12th November 2019 to Labyrinth Global Health INC. for ‘COVID-19 Research’, at least one month before the alleged emergence of the novel coronavirus, and three months before it was officially dubbed Covid-19? The shocking findings however, do not end there.

Alison Weir | In full view of the world, the US is facilitating “some of the worst crimes of our age,” an actions that could ultimately cause America’s downfall… Why is this happening and what can be done about it? | British journalist and author Owen Jones recently made a video describing in excruciating detail Israel’s ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank. Many others have also reported on this. Medical Aid CEO Melanie Ward says that “children are being starved at the fastest rate the world has ever seen.” Jones concludes that Israel’s ruthless actions – publicly supported by Western governments at a time when the world is seeing them in real time – could prove the downfall of the West. He points out that “Western governments have openly facilitated some of the worst crimes of our age” and concludes: “I don’t think the West is ever going to recover from this.” It’s important to examine why the West is taking such irrational, immoral, and self-destructive actions.

Iran: Retaliatory Strike on Israel Has Concluded, Will be Worse Next Time

Iran’s mission to the UN posted on X late Saturday that its retaliatory strike on Israel over the bombing of its consulate in Syria has been completed, before issuing a warning to the U.S. to butt out. “Conducted on the strength of Article 51 of the UN Charter pertaining to legitimate defense, Iran’s military action was in response to the Zionist regime’s aggression against our diplomatic premises in Damascus. The matter can be deemed concluded. However, should the Israeli regime make another mistake, Iran’s response will be considerably more severe. It is a conflict between Iran and the rogue Israeli regime, from which the U.S. MUST STAY AWAY!” the post read.
