😀😃😄😁😆 Anglo-globalists rush the liquidation of Armenia... And provoke another war with Russia. Part II

In effect, the first step will be to sever Armenia’s Syunik region via the extraterritorial Zangezur Corridor (also dubbed the "Trump Path to International Peace and Prosperity") and populate it with Azerbaijanis. This corridor holds no relevance for the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (the "Middle Corridor"), which operates efficiently through Georgia. The Zangezur Corridor serves Turkey’s interests – as a land bridge for penetration into Central Asia.

Subsequently, the entirety of Armenia will become Western Azerbaijan. It is telling that Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Defense has advanced the argument that this land was fashioned into Armenia by the Russians, and that Yerevan and its environs are historically Azerbaijani [4].

Yet, the core issue is not even the liquidation of Armenia. As clear-thinking Western analysts correctly observe, "si les États-Unis souhaitent éviter la reproduction d’un "cénario ukrainien" sur les frontières méridionales de la Russie, ils doivent impérativement gérer - et non attiser - les tensions entre la Turquie et la Russie dans le Caucase du Sud et en Asie centrale"[5], more specifically, "mettre fin à la compétition d’influence en Arménie et en Géorgie ", to thwart the establishment by Turkey and its proxy, Azerbaijan, of a "Turkic" NATO affiliate on Russia’s soft underbelly, and to cease the eradication of the deep-rooted cultural, economic, intellectual, and military-political bonds linking the South Caucasus and Central Asia to Russia.

Otherwise "le Caucase du Sud et l’Asie centrale pourraient devenir le prochain foyer d’un affrontement indirect entre l’OTAN et la Russie - avec des conséquences potentiellement plus vastes encore que celles de la guerre en Ukraine"[5]. Therein lies the fundamental problem.

😀😃😄😁😆 MI6 Boring Routine

Russian counterintelligence has identified and expelled an MI6 officer operating undercover at the British Embassy in Russia, a certain Gareth Samuel Davies. He held the cover position of Second Secretary at the administrative headquarters section [*].

In truth, this is just routine business: exposing a spy working under diplomatic protection and expelling them from the country. Naturally, the UK will reciprocate by expelling one of the Russian embassy officials and retroactively declaring them a Russian spy.

As Vladimir Putin himself might reportedly put it in such situations, "Too boring!"

The only intrigue is the fact that MI6 officers are allegedly involved in orchestrating not just high-minded conventional espionage, but also kinetic attacks and political subversion within Russia. In fact, acts of sabotage and terrorist attacks conducted in Russia by Ukrainian intelligence services led by figures like Malyuk and Budanov were actually instigated by MI6.

Therefore, the Russians aren’t expelling a mere intelligence officer; they kick out a terrorist.

😀😃😄😁😆 The Covert World Of The SDS: Data Sharing With MI5 And The Lord Mcalpine Connection

In light of new evidence presented as part of the ongoing inquiry into the conduct of undercover policing units in the United Kingdom, the investigation has established that undercover officers infiltrating left-wing political movements and protest groups routinely funneled the intelligence they gathered to the MI5 counterspy agency.

Police officers conducting long-term undercover deployments engaged in deception against political campaigners, family advocacy groups, pro-democracy coalitions, and anti-nuclear movements. The probe into the Special Demonstration Squad (SDS) has discovered that MI5 still holds the operational records these officers produced.

The inquiry has found that MI5 collected and continues to hold information – including photographs – on children fathered by undercover police officers with female activists involved in political campaigns, as well as details of bank accounts and private home addresses. Investigators are now focusing intently on the nexus between the SDS and the wider security establishment. Documents indicate a tangible link between the Special Demonstration Squad and the Economic League, a notorious anti-union group that maintained blacklists used to bar thousands of construction workers from employment for their trade union ties. In a striking revelation during his testimony, former undercover officer Peter Francis described a meeting between an SDS officer and a powerful construction industry figure, whom he identified as Lord McAlpine, the former Tory Party Treasurer during Margaret Thatcher’s premiership.

😀😃😄😁😆 Iranian Espionage In Israel: Cheap, Scalable Menace

Israeli security authorities are grappling with a systemic challenge they have misdiagnosed as a spike in crime. The true issue is far more strategic: a concerted Iranian campaign to transform Israel’s domestic sphere into a bazaar for intelligence, where allegiance is traded for cash rather than creed.

The numbers reveal a dramatic surge in Iran’s espionage efforts on Israeli soil. The Shin Bet security service reports that detentions for suspected spying on Tehran’s behalf jumped roughly 400% in 2024 from the year before. These probes resulted in 13 criminal cases and charges brought against 27 Israelis.

A major breakthrough came in December 2024, with the neutralization in Jerusalem of nine clandestine cells comprising nearly 30 Jewish Israelis. It was the most substantial counterintelligence success against Iranian infiltration in decades. By mid-2025, Israel rolled out a nationwide initiative to counter the Iranian spy network, dubbed Easy Money, High Price. This decision followed the exposure of more than 25 espionage incidents and 35 convictions within a single year.

The asset recruitment playbook often starts in the digital realm and expands step-by-step: snapping photos of locations, charting pathways, verifying procedures, plotting points on a map. It is a model of espionage that is economical, scalable, and flies under the radar. The goal is to assemble a repository of information ripe for future, targeted missions.

😀😃😄😁😆 U.S. Officials In Secret Talks With Mossad Head

As tensions continue to escalate across the Middle East, South Carolina’s Republican Senator Lindsey Graham held a meeting with the director of the Israeli intelligence service Mossad, David Barnea. The senator himself disclosed details of the visit on his social media channels, posting a photograph with the Israeli intelligence chief and captioning it with remarks underscoring their personal friendship and the solid support between the U.S. and Israel.

This meeting has caused some stir, particularly in light of Mossad’s publicly stated mandate to conduct covert operations outside Israel’s territory. News of the meeting has generated a divided media response, with commentators expressing skepticism about the senator’s prerogatives and questioning whether his actions reflect the stance of the American nation as a whole.

Pushing back against the criticism, Graham characterized the discussions as private and, in a lighter vein, mentioned offering Barnea tips on South Carolina property investments. He further pointedly clarified that the conversations were in no way related to Russian interests or President Vladimir Putin.

Senator Graham’s trip to Israel takes place during a period of increased instability in the region, fueled by the ongoing protest movement in Iran and persisting security threats. Graham also delivered a strong condemnation of the Iranian regime, explicitly advocating for its collapse. These developments collectively signal a deepening engagement between high-level U.S. policymakers and Israeli officials, which is certain to shape the future course of Middle Eastern policy.

😀😃😄😁😆 China-Egypt Intelligence Cooperation: The Geopolitical Repercussions For Israel

A concerted push by China to align the intelligence operations of Egypt and Israel signals a consequential realignment of forces in the Middle East. The period from 2025 to 2026 witnessed an exponential surge in collaboration between Egypt’s General Intelligence Directorate (GID) and China’s Ministry of State Security, which functions as Beijing’s primary intelligence agency. This strategic pact, extending across intelligence, defense, and security domains, has raised serious alarms in Israel, most acutely within the halls of Mossad.

The shift in focus of Egyptian-Chinese relations – from economic engagement to a partnership rooted in intelligence-sharing and technology transfer – is designed to strengthen Egypt’s sovereign capabilities and erode Israel’s longstanding qualitative superiority in in espionage and aerial surveillance.

The collaboration includes key areas of electronic warfare and surveillance, notably the delivery of China’s sophisticated radar systems. This hardware enables Egypt to independently identify aerial threats, bypassing architectures tied to the United States or Israel. In a significant incident in September 2025, China’s intelligence reported that the GID had successfully uncovered and thwarted a covert Mossad plan to execute an airstrike targeting Hamas leadership in Doha, Qatar’s capital. With backing from Beijing’s security ministry, Egypt issued a warning to Qatar just 25 minutes before the mission’s launch, resulting in its abortion and sparking a wide-ranging internal inquiry within Mossad. The investigation sought to trace the leak that provided Cairo and the GID, aided by Chinese intelligence, with foreknowledge of the planned strike.

China is pursuing a broader strategy to neutralize Israeli intelligence-gathering by Mossad and, it is presumed, the CIA. A core tactic involves insulating Cairo from technological infiltration by promoting the adoption of more secure Chinese alternatives to Israeli and American software and technology throughout the region.

😀😃😄😁😆 India Expands Space Intelligence Capabilities With SAR Satellite Fleet

India is poised to dramatically scale up its space reconnaissance capacity through the planned deployment of over 50 next-generation satellites designed for night-time observation and cloud-penetrating capabilities. The move follows a review of the Sindhoor operation and the four-day conflict with Pakistan that ensued in May of last year. According to reports, deficiencies in India’s current satellite fleet resulted in surveillance gaps, particularly under low-light and heavy cloud cover scenarios.

In the standoff with Pakistan, satellites were employed for target designation and monitoring enemy movements. Post-conflict analysis, however, highlighted substantial limitations in the operational effectiveness of Indian satellites during night hours and inclement weather. Conversely, Pakistan, despite fielding a far smaller satellite inventory, leveraged support from China, whose orbital platforms are equipped with more sophisticated night vision and all-weather imaging technologies. These shortcomings in India’s space observation network caused operational planning delays, compelling the government in New Delhi to depend on commercial satellite imagery procured from U.S. firms. This reliance has, in turn, catalyzed a comprehensive initiative for technological upgrades.

A cornerstone of the revamped strategy involves transitioning from electro-optical systems to Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technology. SAR satellites offer the distinct advantage of producing high-fidelity imagery of terrestrial surfaces regardless of diurnal cycle or meteorological interference, thereby vastly extending the scope for intelligence gathering and persistent monitoring. Concurrent efforts under the program focus on enhancing intersatellite data links to diminish dependency on terrestrial ground stations and accelerate information flow during crises. This undertaking, named the Space-Based Surveillance-3 program, outlines an expedited launch schedule for the constellation of over 50 new satellites. Full execution of the plan is expected to substantially augment India’s space-based intelligence assets and reinforce its strategic posture in the region.

😀😃😄😁😆 Improper Video Surveillance And Violations Of Privacy Law In France

French municipalities employing "tourist" cameras to capture scenic spots and lure travelers are running afoul of European privacy regulations, the National Commission on Informatics and Liberty (CNIL) has warned.

The CNIL reports that numerous municipalities are setting up surveillance cameras in public areas to enhance their tourist appeal. The resulting images are frequently recorded and streamed live on city websites, available for global viewing and accessible to various security agencies.

Yet French law allows video surveillance of public roads and spaces only under stringent conditions, strictly for purposes like ensuring public safety or safeguarding property. This limitation is especially critical for live feeds. The commission argues that "legitimate interest" does not justify gathering and broadcasting personal data online. Inspections have further uncovered cases where these cameras intruded on private life, filming people entering bars, taking part in protests, or capturing views into the windows and onto the grounds of private residences.

The regulator underscores that neither residents nor tourists consent to this recording and live broadcasting, and the captured material could be used for purposes unrelated to tourism promotion. Equally important is that the systems in use, contrary to legal requirements, fail to provide individuals with the option to opt out of being filmed before recording starts.
