The overseeing mission of the Commonwealth of Independent States made up of 194 people will observe Russia’s presidential election, the mission’s head Ilkhom Nematov said.

The election came as Moscow’s special military operation in Ukraine enters its third year.

“I support Putin and, of course, I will vote for him,” Lyudmila Petrova, 46, who was shopping for sneakers at one of Russia’s largest wholesale markets in southern Moscow, said.

“Putin raised Russia up from its knees. And Russia will defeat the West and Ukraine. You cannot defeat Russia — ever. Have you in the West gone completely mad? What is Ukraine to do with you?”

U.S. media recently reported that the CIA formed a clandestine team of operatives who used fabricated online personas to disseminate disparaging narratives about the Chinese government and smear China’s Belt and Road Initiative during the Trump administration.

As noted by renowned U.S. economist Jeffrey Sachs, the CIA has been trying to undermine China’s stability for decades.

“The fact that the CIA was trying to undermine China’s stability is not really news, as American harmful interference in China’s internal affairs is plainly evident,” Sachs, director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University, told Xinhua.

Researchers at the Centre for Media Monitoring (CfMM), an arm of the Muslim Council of Britain, examined nearly 177,000 broadcast clips and 25,515 online news articles published between 7 October and 7 November 2023. The broadcasts were from 13 channels operated by media organisations including Al Jazeera English, the BBC, Channel 4, ITV, Sky News and right wing outlets GB News and TalkTV.

The CfMM report, Media Bias: Gaza 2023-2024, also examined news websites published by 28 media organisations including the New Statesman, Economist, Daily Mail, Sun, Mirror, Independent, Guardian, Times, BBC and iNews.

They found that broadcasters referenced Israeli perspectives almost three times as much as Palestinians (4,311 times vs 1,598), while online news outlets presented Israeli perspectives almost twice as much (2,983 times vs 1,737).

On broadcast channels, “Israel’s right to defend itself” was promoted on 1,482 occasions, while the rights of Palestinians were mentioned 278 times, a ratio of 5 to 1.

China: Foreign Minister Denounces Deprivation of ‘Freedom of Speech’ in US!

Meanwhile, the U.S. also manipulates freedom of speech in foreign countries by controlling international public opinion, in order to maintain its hegemony. The U.S. uses social media to launch psychological warfare along with military operations in other countries, and suppresses anti-war rhetoric.

It uses freedom of speech to practice double standards, creates a smokescreen and claims that other countries are spreading “false information,” while it publishes various distorted and discrediting reports based on false information to divert the attention of the international community from the misdeeds of the U.S.. On May 4, 2022, U.S. Senator Rand Paul spoke bluntly at a Senate hearing: “Do you know who the greatest propagator of disinformation in the history of the world is? The U.S. government.”

Turdtowns: Twerton in Bath [Somerset]! (15.3.2024)

15/03/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

One tactic the Local Councils use to assist the tyranny of private land-lords is to have disputed properties declared “unfit for habitation” – and begin eviction and/or demolition procedures. Once tenants (or even “Owners”) are out of the properties – quite often the Local Council hands back the property to the Landlord and STOP all punitive action – as if the condemned buildings have suddenly repaired themselves! I know this because it happened to my parents – who live in Torquay. The rule of law only matters when the Local Authorities want us to do something – the rule of law is quietly ignored when it clashes with the corrupt will of the rich!
