HACKED RUSSIAN FILES REVEAL PROPAGANDA AGREEMENT WITH CHINA
Since the war broke out in February, experts have been struck by a convergence in Russian and Chinese media narratives. While some of the convergence was likely happenstance, occurring when storylines aided both governments’ goals, documents found in a trove of hacked emails from Russia state broadcaster VGTRK show that China and Russia have pledged to join forces in media content by inking cooperation agreements at the ministerial level.
A bilateral agreement signed July 2021 makes clear that cooperating on news coverage and narratives is a big goal for both governments. At a virtual summit that month, leading Russian and Chinese government and media figures discussed dozens of news products and cooperative ventures, including exchanging news content, trading digital media strategies, and co-producing television shows. The effort was led by Russia’s Ministry of Digital Development, Communication and Mass Media, and by China’s National Radio and Television Administration.
In the propaganda agreement, the two sides pledged to “further cooperate in the field of information exchange, promoting objective, comprehensive and accurate coverage of the most important world events.” They also laid out plans to cooperate on online and social media, a space that both countries have used to seed disinformation, pledging to strengthen “mutually beneficial cooperation in such issues as integration, the application of new technologies, and industry regulation.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s 2023 New Year address
The greatest foreign policy mistake in world history is the failure of Europe/USA to form a peaceful, lasting alliance with Russia following the fall of the Soviet Union. ABN

CHINA: Massive covid outbreak ongoing; zero-covid policy fail; 260 million infected; Mandate of Heaven withdrawn?
LINK TO VIDEO, 24:20 MIN: 260 Million Infected in 20 Days: why is the CCP government suddenly lying flat? Who will be gone?
I wonder if some of these official deaths and others were not purged. Could be for political or criminal reasons or even euthanasia of the infirm and ‘undesirable’. This video ends with a traditional Chinese belief — that the deadly epidemic is a sign the ‘Mandate of Heaven’ has been withdrawn from ‘the Dynasty’ of Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party. This is a powerful belief in China and will become a significant political force if the deaths are as numerous as they now appear to be. ABN
Putin, Xi year end summit. China, Russia de facto alliance
In ‘our’ (neocon) attempts to subjugate Russia and China, ‘we’ have only driven them closer together just as most careful thinkers knew would be the result. This is what happens when your civilization has been taken over by an ancient culture that has no respect for it or love for it. ABN

A US-funded bio lab in Kazakhstan could become a major embarrassment for Washington
The Kazakh Ministry of Health has issued an innocuous disclaimer, denying social media reports about the seizure of a “military biological lab near Almaty by unidentified people.”
According to Russia’s Tass news agency, social media had speculated that specialists in chemical protection suits were working near the lab as “a leak of dangerous pathogens” occurred.
The carefully worded press release by the Kazakh ministry clarifies: “This is not true. The facility is being protected.” Period.
The intriguing report highlights the tip of an iceberg that has implications for public health and holds serious geopolitical ramifications.
Since the late 1990s, when it came to be known that the US was steadily establishing and building up partnerships in biological research with several ex-Soviet republics, Moscow has repeatedly alleged that such cooperation posed a threat to Russia.

Evidence of severe mortality in China purportedly from covid
There are many videos like these coming out of China claiming large numbers of dead bodies from covid are overwhelming hospitals and crematoriums. At the same time, the Chinese government’s official position is no one is dying from covid. This kind of vague, confusing, and contradictory picture is normal for China in virtually all areas. There are several explanations for why there are so many dead bodies, including: 1) they are victims of a massive political purge which is using covid as a cover story; 2) there is a real outbreak of covid which is hitting hard because Chinese have become immunologically naive due to mass lockdowns; 3) a new and more deadly variant of covid has appeared in China and will soon spread across the world; 4) this is more political theater aimed at confusing the people of China and the world as Xi Jinping consolidates absolute power. Feel free to add your own because nobody knows. ABN
Here Comes the Biden Family Syndicate Bank Account Deposits – Zelenskyy Announces Blackrock Will Help Rebuild Ukraine
BlackRock, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries) is a massive publicly traded multinational investment firm with over $8.68 trillion in assets under management [December 31, 2020 financial statement] in more than 100 countries across the globe. To say that Blackrock is invested in globalism, climate change and leftist politics, would be a severe understatement {See Here}. Larry Fink is the CEO and people like Cheryl Mills, Hillary Clinton’s attorney of record, are on the board.
The Chairman of the BlackRock Investment Institute, the guy who tells the $8.7 trillion investment firm BlackRock where to put their money, is Tom Donilon; President Obama’s former National Security Advisor (before Susan Rice), and a key advisor to Joe Biden throughout his career in politics; who was also recently put in charge of U.S-China policy by the State Dept. {link}
Tom Donilon’s brother, Mike Donilon is a Senior Advisor to Joe Biden {link} providing guidance on what policies should be implemented within the administration. Mike Donilon guides the focus of spending, budgets, regulation and white house policy from his position of Senior Advisor to the President. Tom Donilon’s wife, Catherine Russell, was the Biden White House Personnel Director {link}. In that position Donilon’s wife controlled every hire in the Office of the Presidency. Tom Donilon’s daughter, Sarah Donilon, who graduated college in 2019, now works on the White House National Security Council {link}
Yes, Blackrock, the world’s largest investment firm, is essentially in a private-public partnership with the Biden White House fraught with massive financial conflicts of interest. Tom Donilon is the bagman. The Donilon family coordinates the Biden foreign policy toward Ukraine, and the Donilon family positions Blackrock financially to benefit as a specific outcome of the relationship with the Biden family and the White House. Now this….

Ukrainian war, politics, its future and what Poland might do
During this talk, Mercouris and Christoforou repeatedly say that Zelensky is pursuing strategies based on political considerations: 1) to bolster morale in Ukraine and 2) to show Western donor nations they are succeeding in the war and thus deserve to be given more money. The problem I have with this take on the situation, and there’s much to be said for it, is that Ukrainian politics for a long time has not been run by Ukrainians. It’s run by American neocons and non-Ukrainian oligarchs. Zelensky was selected and raised to the presidency by those people and is clearly one of them or one of their puppets. That group of people will have no problem watching Russian Slavs and Ukrainian Slavs kill each other. I imagine they have post-war plans for that region that are not in the best interests of Ukrainians or Russians. Zelensky does want the money but I do not believe he expects Ukraine to benefit from any of it. ABN
100 largest public companies in the world
This year has been shaped by uncomfortable macroeconomic headwinds.
Trillions of dollars were erased in public company market capitalizations, investor confidence waned, and cost pressures squeezed consumer pocketbooks.
Taken together, many of the world’s largest companies experienced sharp declines in market share. Still, a few companies in key sectors had positive growth over the year.
