8/ Elsewhere in Europe: Bulgaria (2023): three Russian priests expelled for activities “threatening national security.” Czechia: intelligence flagged a Russian Orthodox church in a spa town used for covert meetings & influence ops. Ukrainians are not surprised ...⤵️
9/ Since Russia’s full-scale invasion, Ukrainians have found Russian passports, rubles, even instructions from Moscow hidden in monasteries. They know these aren’t houses of worship. They’ve been forward bases—ever since Stalin revived the Moscow church as a Kremlin tool⤵️
10/ The Russian Orthodox Church was nearly destroyed in the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution. Stalin later revived it—as a KGB instrument to mind people at home and extend influence abroad. Today, the Moscow church isn’t even recognized by the Ecumenical Patriarch of Orthodoxy. ⤵️
11/ Back to the USA: Chinese farmland holdings in the U.S. have surged more than 20× in a decade, now topping 350,000 acres. As retired U.S. Air Force General Robert Spalding warns, these acquisitions near sensitive sites are “strategic footholds.”
13/ Next week in Beijing, China's Xi will meet Putin and also Kim Jong‑un at a military parade. Maybe they're not just sharing stages, but coordinating strategies. Molfar report: molfar.institute/en/rpc-shpyg...
12/ And it’s not just farmland. U.S. investigators recently found Chinese-made inverters with hidden kill switches inside American solar farms. Beijing could remotely shut down parts of the U.S. grid. The UK has now begun reviewing its own solar sites for the same risk. ⤵️
