# Secret Service Drone

---

---

---

According to public documents obtained by Chuck Grassley, a Counter UAS drone was operational by the Secret Service at 5:20 PM, which was not initially reported by the SS.

[[John Cullen]] speculates that the drone is positively identified as an [[Anduril Industries]] drone. [2]

### Secret Service’s drone and communications issues:

Grassley: “I made public documents that show Secret Service deployed a Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) operator on July 13. According to the Secret Service, the drone system was supposed to be operational at 3 p.m. that day. However, we’ve been told by Secret Service that because of cellular bandwidth problems, it wasn’t operational until about 5:20 [p.m.] on that day. If the system was operational, Secret Service would’ve had the ability to detect the shooter and his own drone use. Why is the Secret Service dependent upon local cellular networks? Does Secret Service have back up plans in place?” [1]

# Official Narrative via WikiSpooks

---

---

---

"Liberal" corporate media at first downplayed the event.
Shots were fired at US Presidential candidate Donald Trump during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. Trump was slightly hit in the upper right ear and ducked to the ground where he was surrounded by members of the US Secret Service. At least one other person died on the spot, as well as the shooter.[7] Witnesses and local law enforcement reportedly saw a shooter who was shot dead within 1 minute from a sloped roof 200-400 feet away from Trump.

Attendees reported seeing 20-year-old Thomas Crooks acting suspiciously near rally metal detectors, according to CNN, with local law enforcement being notified and broadcasting warnings over their radios to the Secret Service to be on the lookout for him. He was also reportedly seen with a rifle outside of a security checkpoint to gain entrance into the rally. Police apparently failed to locate him while those alerts were out, before finally responding to reports of an armed man on top of a roof. US Secret Service blamed local police for not securing the perimeter and that was their job. The USSS was only tasked according to a CNN report with securing the rally ground.[8]

A bomb squad was called in a for a large car hours after the incident belonging to Crooks, multiple home-made bombs were subsequently found.[9][10] The shooter was identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, reported by the New York Post.[11] Trump was discharged from the hospital with injuries to his ear the following night.[12]

The events led to an outpouring of sympathy for Donald Trump on social media and political figures across the political spectrum both domestically and internationally urged for calm, condemning the attempt on his life, in a rallying call of some sorts.[13][14]

*Ryan Wesley Routh* is an American citizen who is allegedly responsible for the [[second assassination attempt of Donald Trump]] on of presidential candidate [[Donald John Trump]] in the lead up to the [[2024 Election]].

Routh was arrested Sunday September 15, 2024 - nearly 40 miles from the scene of [[Trump National Golf Club]] in Florida where the [[U.S. Secret Service]] reportedly foiled his assassination attempt.

He has mixed politics and a history of support for Ukraine - as well as a long rap sheet of legal issues. Routh was previously arrested in 2002 in North Carolina for having 'weapons of mass destruction' and has had several encounters with police.

---

---

---

# Background

---

---

---

Ryan Routh was convicted in December 2002 of possessing a firearm, resisting arrest, obstructing a police officer, and driving with a revoked license after engaging in a three-hour standoff with law enforcement. The incident began during a traffic stop when Routh put his hand on a gun and then drove to a nearby business, barricading himself inside. In 2003, he was sentenced for driving without a license, carrying a concealed weapon, and hit-and-run. In 2010, he was convicted of possessing stolen goods and given probation for each of these charges. In 2018, Routh moved from Greensboro, North Carolina, to Kaaawa, Hawaii.[1]

Routh claimed on social media and in interviews with The New York Times and Newsweek Romania in 2022 that he had attempted to recruit soldiers for Ukraine in its fight against Russias invasion. He also claimed to have fought in Ukraine. In a 2022 interview with a Romanian reporter in Kyiv, Routh stated that he flew to Ukraine to join the army in the months following Russias full-scale invasion but was rejected due to his age and lack of military experience. Later in 2022, Routh said in an interview that after being rejected for military service, he began recruiting volunteer soldiers for the Ukrainian military. Routh expressed frustration with Ukraine's strict vetting process for foreign fighters, stating, "Ukraine is very often hard to work with, theyre afraid that anybody and everybody is a Russian spy."[2]

Asa Winstanley posted on X:

The Azov Brigade was officially certified by the Blinken State Dept to receive US weapons in June of this year.

The same media that painted this neo-Nazi unit as heroic “defenders” is about to sweep Rouths background under the rug and brand us all as conspiracy theorists.

EXCLUSIVE: Attempted Trump assassin Ryan Routh appeared in a propaganda video for the Azov Battalion in May 2022.

# Trump Assissination

---

---

---

Ryan W. Routh was apprehended on September 15, 2024, following claims by the US Secret Service that they had successfully halted the second assassination attempt on Donald Trump within just two months. According to the allegations, Routh was armed with an "AK-47-style rifle" which turned out to be an [[SKS]] and had it aimed through the bushes at Trump National Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, while Trump was engaged in a golf game.

After the suspect fled the scene, a witness captured his image and noted the license plate of his black Nissan SUV. Officers from the Martin County Sheriff's office, located near Trumps Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida, subsequently tracked down the vehicle on Interstate 95, apprehended the suspect, and transported him to the local county jail.[1]

On Monday, September 16, 2024, Routh made an appearance at the Palm Beach County courthouse to face charges including possession of a firearm by a felon and possession of a firearm with an altered serial number. His next court appearance is scheduled for Monday, September 23. Dave Aronberg, the Palm Beach County state attorney, informed US media that Routh could potentially face significant prison time, as the charges against him carry a maximum prison sentence of 20 years. [2]

---

---

---

# Political Affiliations

---

---

---

Voter records indicate that Routh was not affiliated with any political party.

In 2020 posts on his X account, Routh expressed dissatisfaction with Trumps administration, stating that he had voted for him in 2016 but was disappointed in his performance, describing him as "getting worse and devolving." Routh also expressed support for various political figures, including Tulsi Gabbard, Vivek Ramaswamy, Nikki Haley, and Bernie Sanders, in different posts. Additionally, the posts suggest that he believed in conspiracy theories surrounding COVID-19.

Routh made donations to [[ActBlue]], a Democratic fundraising platform, over 20 times in 2019 and 2020. In one of his posts, he shared a historical map of Palestine during Roman times to argue that Jews have no right to the land.

In 2024, Routh participated in the [[Democratic primary election]] in [[Guilford County]], North Carolina.[1]

**Thomas Matthew Crooks** [born September 20, 2003], was an American man responsible for the [[first assassination attempt of Donald Trump]] former U.S. president [[Donald John Trump]] at a rally on July 13, 2024 near Butler, Pennsylvania.

Crooks, a 20-year-old registered Republican with multiple donations to [[ActBlue]] from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, had purchased ammunition the day of the rally, authorities say. He was identified by the FBI as the sole suspect. The motives for the assassination attempt remain unclear, but Crooks had a history of mental health issues and had made comments about assassinating Trump on social media. Crooks had two homemade explosive devices in his car when he tried to assassinate former President Donald Trump. It is unclear how -- or even if -- Crooks planned to use the bombs, which is just one of the mysteries still surrounding this case. Crooks was killed in the incident by security forces.

The **Tricontinental Information Center** (TIC) or **Tricontinental Institute for Social Research**, was formed in 1967 after a worldwide Soviet/Communist conference known as the **Tricontinental Conference** was held in Havana, Cuba in 1966 to promote the worldwide "socialist revolution".

The TIC was the U.S. affiliate of the Tricontinental organization, and was founded mainly by key members of the [[Communist Party USA]] (CPUSA), including [[Michael Myerson]] and [[John Gallo]].

[[Vijay Prashad]] is the Executive Director.

# Stated Mission

"Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research is an international institute guided by popular movements and organisations. We seek to build a bridge between academic production and political and social movements in order to promote critical thinking and stimulate debates and research with an emancipatory perspective that serves the people’s aspirations." [1]

The name of our institute draws upon two sources: the Tricontinental Conference held in Cuba in January 1966 and the Institute for Social Research set up in Frankfurt in 1923. The Tricontinental Conference brought together a range of revolutionary movements from across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. They brought with them the orientation of national liberation, non-alignment, and socialism. It is this tradition – national liberation Marxism – which anchors the work of our institute. The Institute for Social Research, also known as the Frankfurt School, developed during the Weimar Republic in Germany to understand the European socialist movement’s failure to take advantage of the revolutionary situation on the continent at the time. The institute’s scholars studied the crisis of capitalism, the limitations of working-class struggle and ideology, and the rise of fascism. We seek to further their legacy in our time.

# Key findings

- [[Renmin University of China]], [[Fudan University]], [[Beijing Normal University]] and other [[public Chinese universities]], as well as their affiliated [[think-tanks]], [[Chongyang Institute]] and [[China Institute]] have deep influence into the international propaganda being spewed abroad. Top policy and strategy appears to begin around here and makes its way down towards the lower level propagandists.

- Gigantic sums of money (at least $48M+) have been funneled through [[People’s Support Foundation]] and [[Goldman Sach’s Philanthropy Fund]]; which have made contributions to [[The Peoples Forum]], [[Tricontinental Institute for Social Research]], [[CODEPINK]] and others. [[Neville Roy Singham]] is believed to be the main source of funds. A detailed report can be found here. [3]

- Various [[anti-west]] campaigns such as [[No Cold War]], [[Friends of Socialist China]] and [[China is Not Our Enemy]] link prominent western figures with [[Chinese State Media]]. They have ties to [[Russian State Media]] and seem to be the linking factor between the smaller NGOs and coalitions.

- [[Li Jing Jing]] appears to be the Zoom host for a [[No Cold War]] webinar as seen at the start of this video. This would be contrary to the "independence" of the campaign and hint that Chinese State Media is behind the "movement"  [4]

- [[Wang Wen]] and [[John Ross]] work together at [[Chongyang Institute (Renmin)]]. They have co-authored academic papers with [[Vijay Prashad]] and [[Martin Jacques]] which were published in a Chongyang journal.

- The list of signatories on the [[No Cold War]] website is filled with Chinese State Media and Russian State Media affiliations.

- Pivot to Peace is accepting donations through [[Progress Unity Fund]], a small single family home associated with [[Susan Muysenberg]]. Several other charities in this ring operate using this same opaque structure.

- Many of the news outlets and misinformation campaigns joined Youtube/Twitter/Facebook around the same time in early 2020. The ring appears to be an organized campaign. This lines up with reports such as this one, in which [[Radhika Desai]] says [[International Manifesto Group]] was set up shortly after the [[covid-19 pandemic]].

- On Nov. 7 2020, [[Zhang Wei Wei]], appears on No Cold War webinar jointly organized by Chongyang Institute (Renmin) and Renmin University of China. Zhang is the director of [[China Institute]] and a [[professor]] at [[Fudan University]]. He has given a speech to the [[Politburo of the Chinese Communist Party]] about strengthening China’s international [[propaganda]].

**Hot Games Co. Limited**  is a "private company limited by shares” registered in [[Hong Kong]] running tens of thousands of [[LQBTQ]] advertisements targeting children in western countries. It appears to be a massive influence campaign by the [[Chinese Communist Party]] aimed at weakening western society.

The company is doing business under this name in Hong Kong but was registered by 武汉热游信息技术有限公司 in [[Wuhan]], [[China]] on 05/11/2018.

The company serves advertisements in primarily [[G7 countries]] and others deemed “unfriendly” by Beijing. The ad campaign features thousands of various advertisements clearly aimed at children with around 50% of them being “gay/lesbian/LGBT” in nature.

[[Operation CODEPINK]] confirms them running at least 6000 ads in the US alone and likely to be running upwards of ~50,000-100,000 ads worldwide.

The company is also running advertisements in China friendly countries such as Belarus, but these ads do not feature any of the LGBTQ messaging found in the other campaigns.

The company has a total of (1) game in the [[Apple App Store]] that is a very simple “endless road” style clone.

A **Structural deep event** is a term coined by [[Peter Dale Scott]] to describe significant events that have a profound impact on society but are often obscured or hidden from public view.

According to Scott, structural deep events occur when powerful actors within government and other institutions work together to create situations that shape historical outcomes. These events may involve conspiracy, deception, and manipulation, and they can have far-reaching consequences for individuals, societies, and nations. Examples of structural deep events cited by Scott include the assassinations of [[John F Kennedy]], [[Robert F Kennedy]], and [[Martin Luther King Jr]], as well as the [[September 11 attacks]].

In this context, a structural deep event refers to an event that is deeply rooted in power structures and has significant consequences for society, often with lasting impacts on political, economic, and social systems. The term highlights the need to examine the underlying mechanisms and motivations behind such events and to consider their broader implications for our understanding of history and politics.

**The Xinjiang Police Files** are a large cache of leaked documents and internal police communications from the [[Xinjiang]] region in northwest China. The files, which consist of over 10 gigabytes of information, were leaked to an anonymous source in May 2022 and published by an international consortium of 14 media groups, including the [[Associated Press (AP)]], [[BuzzFeed News]], [[Le Monde]], and others.

---

### Contents

The Xinjiang Police Files provide unprecedented insight into the Chinese government's mass detention policies targeting Uyghur Muslims and other ethnic minorities in Xinjiang. The leaked documents include:

**Internal police speeches**: Audio recordings of speeches given by senior Chinese officials and police officers outlining their strategies for detaining and controlling the Uyghur population.

**Police memos and reports**: Detailed accounts of police operations, including forced labor programs, mass surveillance, and arbitrary arrests.

**Personnel records**: Thousands of personnel files containing personal information about detainees, including their names, addresses, dates of birth, and religious affiliations.

**Internment camp photos**: Images of detainees at various camps, some showing signs of physical abuse or confinement.

---

### Key Revelations

The Xinjiang Police Files have revealed several disturbing aspects of the Chinese government's campaign against Uyghur Muslims:

**Systematic mass detention**: The files provide evidence that the Chinese authorities have systematically detained millions of Uyghurs and other minority groups in "re-education" camps, often without legal justification or due process.

**Forced labor**: The documents show that detainees are forced to work in factories producing goods for export, including textiles, electronics, and toys.

**Physical abuse**: The files contain photographic evidence of physical abuse, torture, and malnutrition among detainees, as well as testimonies from former inmates describing brutal treatment.

**Political indoctrination**: Detainees are subjected to political indoctrination sessions designed to erase their religious beliefs and loyalty to the Uyghur culture.

**State-sponsored repression**: The documents reveal that top Chinese leaders, including President Xi Jinping, were directly involved in orchestrating and endorsing these policies.
International Response

The release of the Xinjiang Police Files has sparked widespread outrage and condemnation from human rights organizations and governments around the world. Several countries, including the United States, Canada, Germany, and Australia, have called for an end to China's mass detention policies and urged Beijing to provide access to independent monitors.

---

### Impact

The Xinjiang Police Files have had a significant impact on public awareness of the Uyghur genocide and the Chinese government's human rights abuses in Xinjiang. The leaked documents have provided incontrovertible evidence of the scale and severity of these atrocities, making it more difficult for China to deny or downplay its actions.

The release of the files has also intensified international pressure on China to address these issues and may lead to further sanctions, boycotts, or diplomatic measures against Beijing.

The **Uyghur Genocide**, also known as the Xinjiang genocide or the Uyghur Holocaust, is an ongoing systematic campaign of [[repression]], [[mass detention]], [[forced labor]], and [[cultural assimilation]] against the [[Uyghur people]], a Turkic ethnic group primarily native to the [[Xinjiang]] region in northwest China by the [[Chinese Communist Party]]. The scale and severity of these abuses have been compared to those experienced during [[the Holocaust]].

---

### Background

The [[People's Republic of China]] has long faced accusations of human rights violations in Xinjiang, particularly since 2017 when the Chinese government began implementing mass detention policies under the pretext of combating terrorism and extremism. Human rights organizations and scholars estimate that over a million Uyghurs have been detained in "re-education" camps, where they are subjected to [[political indoctrination]], [[forced labor]], [[physical abuse]], and other forms of torture.

---

### Cultural Genocide

In addition to mass detention, the Chinese government has also implemented policies aimed at erasing Uyghur culture, including the destruction of religious sites, banning the use of the Uyghur language in schools, and restricting access to education for Uyghur children. This has led to widespread fear and anxiety among the Uyghur population, with many experiencing severe psychological trauma as a result of these policies.

---

### The International Community's Response

The international community has responded with growing concern and condemnation. In 2021, the United States government declared that China's treatment of Uyghurs constitutes "genocide." Several other countries have also called for an end to the abuses, including Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Germany.

The Chinese government has repeatedly denied these allegations, claiming that its actions in Xinjiang are necessary for counter-terrorism and de-radicalization purposes. However, numerous reports from credible sources, including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and the World Uyghur Congress, have corroborated the accounts of survivors and provided evidence of the systematic abuses taking place.

---

### Reasons for Detention

The Chinese government has provided various reasons for detaining Uyghur citizens in "re-education" camps, but many experts and human rights organizations believe these justifications are largely pretextual. Some of the most common explanations given by the authorities include:

1. Counter-terrorism: The Chinese government claims that its mass detention policies are necessary to combat terrorism and extremism in Xinjiang. However, critics argue that this rationale is overly broad and lacks concrete evidence linking Uyghurs to terrorist activities.

2. De-radicalization: Authorities maintain that the camps are designed to "de-radicalize" detainees and prevent them from engaging in violent or separatist activities. Yet, numerous reports suggest that those detained include individuals who have not committed any crimes, but rather possess religious or political views deemed unfavorable by the government.

3. Vocational training: The Chinese authorities assert that the camps provide vocational training to help detainees acquire skills for employment and improve their living standards. While some programs may offer limited job training, many former detainees report experiencing physical and psychological abuse, forced labor, and poor living conditions.

Human rights organizations argue that these justifications are often used as cover for a broader campaign aimed at suppressing Uyghur culture, religion, and identity. In reality, the mass detention policies appear to target anyone who is perceived as being "politically unreliable" or affiliated with separatist movements, including:

1. Uyghur intellectuals and professionals: Those with higher education levels, skills in foreign languages, or connections abroad are particularly vulnerable to arrest.

2. Members of religious communities: The Chinese government has targeted individuals associated with the Islamic faith, including imams, mosque leaders, and religious scholars.

3. Ethnic minority activists: Individuals advocating for greater autonomy, cultural preservation, or human rights are often detained as potential threats to state security.

The lack of transparency and due process in China's detention policies has led many to question the true motives behind these measures. While counter-terrorism and de-radicalization may be cited as reasons, it is clear that the scope and scale of the detentions extend far beyond these justifications, targeting an entire ethnic group and their way of life.

**Chongqing International Communication Center** is the first [[provincial-level]] "[[professional overseas communication agency]]" in the [[People's Republic of China]]. It explores the use of mobile Internet, especially overseas social media platforms for external communication.

During the [[Covid 19 Pandemic]], Chongqing International Communication Center launched the English special report "Fighting against COVID-19" on January 23, and launched "Come on China, we support you!", "Video Dialogue with Chongqing Foreigners", "Resumption of Work and Production of Foreign Enterprises" and other series of reports. As of April 15, the [[iChongqing]] website has published 334 English graphics, videos, and animations on the topic of anti-epidemic news, and 1,392 tweets and videos have been published on 7 mainstream social media platforms at home and abroad, including Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube. The exposure exceeded 20.17 million.

In December 2019, [[Beijing (Foreign Languages) Normal University]] and other institutions jointly released the "Report on Overseas Network Communication Power of Chinese Cities", and Chongqing ranked 9th in the comprehensive index of overseas network communication power of 337 Chinese cities.

The Malibu Mafia was a group of wealthy American Jewish men who were influential in both the entertainment and business industries during the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. Members of this informal network were known for their political liberal beliefs and their financial support of progressive causes and politicians.

The origins of the Malibu Mafia can be traced back to the late 1970s when actors Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden, along with other prominent liberals, formed an unofficial group called "The Network." This group aimed to fund various liberal initiatives and causes. Later, in the 1980s, Hollywood icons such as Barbra Streisand joined forces with Fonda and others to establish the Hollywood Women's Political Committee (HWPC), a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting political candidates and causes aligned with their values.

Some of the key members of the Malibu Mafia included Max Palevsky, a venture capitalist and founder of Intel Corporation; Steven Bochco, creator of popular TV shows like "Hill Street Blues" and "L.A. Law"; Peter Guber, film producer and CEO of Mandalay Entertainment; and Lew Wasserman, former head of MCA Inc., one of the largest entertainment conglomerates in Hollywood.

The Malibu Mafia was known for its influence over the entertainment industry, with many members being involved in film and television production as well as acting. However, their political activism extended beyond the entertainment world, as they supported candidates like Democratic presidential nominee George McGovern in 1972 and were vocal critics of conservative politics.

Despite the informal nature of the group, the Malibu Mafia's collective influence and financial clout made them a significant force in American politics during the latter half of the 20th century. Today, their legacy continues to be felt through the many philanthropic endeavors and political initiatives supported by their descendants and like-minded individuals.

Max Palevsky (July 24, 1924 – May 5, 2010) was an American art collector, venture capitalist, philanthropist, and computer technology pioneer . He was known for being a member of the [[Malibu Mafia]] - a group of wealthy American Jewish men who donated money to liberal and progressive causes and politicians. Palevsky was born in Chicago, Illinois, to Jewish immigrant parents . As a founder of [[Intel Corporation]], he played a significant role in the computer electronics industry . Throughout his career, he invested in various businesses and supported numerous philanthropic endeavors . In addition to his professional accomplishments, Palevsky was also an art collector and patron, with works from his collection being showcased at institutions like the [[J. Paul Getty Museum]].

### Personal Life

---

Max Palevsky's personal life was marked by multiple marriages and fatherhood. He married six times and had five children. His first wife, [[Mary Joan Yates (Joan Palevsky)]], received a substantial divorce settlement in 1968, which enabled her to become a prominent philanthropist. They had two children together: Madeleine and Nicholas Palevsky. Joan passed away in 2006. Palevsky's subsequent marriages included those to [[Sara Jane Brown]], [[Lynda L. Edelstein]] (mother of Alexander and Jonathan), and [[Jodie Evans]], a political activist who is also the mother of [[Matthew Palevsky]].

Palevsky was known for his lavish homes, each featuring unique architecture, furniture, and art collections. His properties, designed by renowned architects such as Ettore Sottsass, Craig Ellwood, George Washington Smith, and Coy Howard, were featured in "Three California Houses: The Homes of Max Palevsky."

Throughout the 1980s, Palevsky's wealth continued to grow, earning him spots on Forbes' list of wealthiest Americans. In 1985 and 1988, his estimated net worth was $600 million and $640 million, respectively. Tragically, Max Palevsky passed away at age 85 due to heart failure in May 2010, leaving behind a legacy as an influential figure in the computer technology industry and beyond.

In this inaugural investigative campaign, we at [The Xibao Times](nostr:npub1dskhnh3dg6fry2mplswgxc4w92w3h5f2v4js7yxkt9ekspq87xmss94hlf) invite you to embark on a journey down the rabbit hole of Chinese propaganda. **Our mission**: to expose the intricate network of disinformation and anti-Western sentiment that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has meticulously woven through various channels, including state media, non-profits, coalition groups, and more. Our starting point: a seemingly innocuous image (above) reposted by China Daily, which has led us to uncover a web of deception that spans the globe.

At the heart of Operation Codepink lies a **comprehensive examination of the CCP's propaganda apparatus**. We delve into the inner workings of this sophisticated machine, revealing the strategies and tactics employed to disseminate disinformation and manipulate public opinion. From the recruitment of "useful idiots" to the exploitation of social media, we uncover the CCP's playbook and the players involved.

**Our investigation spans multiple platforms and formats, providing readers with a multi-faceted view of the propaganda war being waged**. In addition to in-depth articles on [Habla News](nostr:nprofile1qyv8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnndehhyapwwdhkx6tpdsq3gamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7qgdwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkcqgswaehxw309ahx7um5wgh8w6twv5q3yamnwvaz7tm0venxx6rpd9hzuur4vgqzqmpd080z635jxg4krlqusd32u25ar0gj5et9pugdvktndqzq0udhn7xww5), we are creating wiki-pages on [Wikifreedia](https://wikifreedia.vercel.app/operation-codepink/xibaotimes@zaps.lol) to serve as a repository of information, and relationship charts to illustrate the complex web of connections between entities and individuals.

As we continue our investigative journey, we will be publishing updates, revelations, and analyses. Stay tuned for an exposé on the CCP's infiltration of Russian state media, US non-profits, and coalition groups, among others. Our objective is not only to educate and inform but also to spark a broader conversation about the dangers of disinformation and the need for transparency and accountability in the media landscape.

Join us as we unravel the threads of this intricate web and shed light on the dark corners of the CCP's propaganda machine. With Operation Codepink, we aim to provide the spiciest content on Nostr, and we invite you to be a part of this groundbreaking campaign.

We will create a series of wiki-pages on Wikifreedia to serve as a central repository of information related to Operation Codepink. These wiki-pages will provide a detailed and organized overview of the CCP's propaganda machine, its various components, and the individuals and organizations involved.

To illustrate the complex web of connections between the entities and individuals involved in the CCP's propaganda machine, we will create relationship charts. These charts will show the relationships between different organizations, individuals, and governments, providing a visual representation of the intricate network of disinformation and propaganda. The relationship charts will help readers understand the scale and scope of the CCP's influence and manipulation efforts.

### Investigative Approach:

Our investigative approach for Operation Codepink will involve a combination of open-source research, data analysis, and interviews with experts and insiders. We will use a range of tools and techniques to gather information, including:

**Open-Source Research:** We will conduct extensive open-source research, using publicly available information to identify patterns, connections, and trends related to the CCP's propaganda machine.

**Data Analysis:** We will analyze large datasets to identify relationships between individuals, organizations, and governments, as well as patterns in disinformation and propaganda tactics.

**Expert Interviews:** We will interview experts and insiders who have firsthand knowledge of the CCP's propaganda machine, as well as individuals who have been targeted by the CCP's disinformation campaigns.

**Social Media Monitoring:** We will monitor social media platforms for signs of disinformation and propaganda, as well as for clues about the identities of individuals and organizations involved in the CCP's propaganda machine.

By using a combination of these techniques, we aim to provide a comprehensive and accurate picture of the CCP's propaganda machine and its activities.

### Updates and Revelations:

As we continue our investigation, we will provide regular updates and revelations on our findings. These updates will be published on Habla News and shared on our Nostr account xibaotimes@zaps.lol, keeping readers informed about the latest developments in Operation Codepink.

The **Communist Party of China** (CPC) is a dog-whistle spun up in the midst of the [[Covid 19 Pandemic]] to further confuse western audiences about the evils perpetrated by the Chinese government.

The phrase "CPC" only began being widely used by the Chinese government and news organizations in early 2020. Prior to this point, [[Chinese state media]], government institutions, and Chinese people used the term CCP to describe the government to an internatioal audience.

Some have theorized that the [[Chinese Communist Party]] (or CCP) changed the English translation of their name in order to mitigate the negative reputation associated with it by manipulating the SEO results and existing articles on the internet associated with the original name.

This name change follows closely with the slew of [[misinformation]], [[SEO manipulation]], and [[Chinese propaganda]] that began decimating the internet around the start of the pandemic as highlighted by [[The Xibao Times]] in [[Operation CODEPINK]].

The change from CCP to CPC allows the government to bury all of the negative press from international journalists and institutions and the SEO manipulation brings the curated fluff-pieces from the party to the top of search results.


One of the most evil ruling parties in history responsible for the death of hundreds of millions of Chinese people.

**Pivot to Peace** is shady organization pushing [[Anti West Propaganda]] for the [[Chinese Communist Party]].

## Misson Statement

*“Pivot to Peace was formed early 2020 to educate and mobilize public opinion about the benefits of a policy that facilitates cooperation and mutual respect between the United States and China. Pivot to Peace is a coalition of Americans and global citizens who are concerned about the future of relations between our country and China. We reject the escalation towards global conflict and instead urge peace and cooperation with China. We believe in the fair and open communication of information about China, its economic, social, and political affairs, free of the biases and distortions which dominate much of mainstream media in the United States. We believe that friendship and engagement between our countries is the better path towards that future.”*


PLANDEMIC.

**The United Front Work Department** (UFWD) is a department of the [[Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party]] (CCP) tasked with "united front work."

It gathers intelligence on, manages relations with, and attempts to gain influence over elite individuals and organizations inside and outside [[mainland China]], including in [[Hong Kong]] and [[Taiwan]].

The UFWD focuses its work on people or entities that are outside the CCP, especially in the [[overseas Chinese diaspora]], who hold political, commercial, or academic influence, or who represent interest groups. Through its efforts, the UFWD seeks to ensure that these individuals and groups are supportive of or useful to CCP interests and that potential critics remain divided.
