The CrowdStrike outage affected 8.5 million devices worldwide. Yigal Unna, former head of Israel's National Cyber Directorate and Krach Institute Advisory Council member, calls this a "wakeup call." He says that in the future a cyber attack of such magnitude can happen intentionally, and because we are so dependent on our supply chains, "our supply chains can be what kills us." Watch.

第一波抗议活动刚刚结束，我嗓子都哑了。我身边两个拉丁裔安保，应当是大使馆自己雇的。
中国大使馆动员了两部分人：一部分是留学生，一部分是老年人。但是在我们震耳欲聋的口号声下，他们一个个面无表情，呆若木鸡，不喊口号，也不唱歌，完全就是来吃盒饭的样子。真是笑话！
拥共的人多，但如同一群僵尸；反共的这边，气势高昂，口号声从来没有停止过。而且，自发组织来的人，并没有比中共动员的人少太多。
我刚刚致信国会中国委员会，附上了大量照片和视频，我在信中说跟了：“在美国的土地上，打着邪恶政权的旗帜，欢迎独裁者，这是对美国价值的挑衅，美国政府不应当容忍这样的事情发生。”过几天我还会跟他们开会，会深入讨论这个问题。
习近平的车队远远地驶过，但我非常肯定，我们这边几百人的齐声怒吼“习近平下台！”，“习近平滚蛋”，他一定听到了。

Tech Diplomacy took center stage during @LifeAtPurdue's inaugural Krach Institute Freedom Lecture with Ambassador Nate Fick of the Bureau of Cyberspace and Digital Policy (@StateCDP)
“In addition to ensuring a strong foreign policy out in the world,” Fick emphasized during Thursday morning’s panel “we need to build the institutional capacity inside our own government.”
“We set the goal of putting a trained technology diplomat in every US mission around the world by the end of next year, so every American embassy around the world will have someone in it - usually a Foreign Service officer who will be in charge of his portfolio and will have an understanding of its intricacies.”
The team at the Krach Institute for @TechDiplomacy is training the next generation of tech diplomats, of transformational leaders, creative problem solvers, and defenders of the values we hold dear. Exciting times are ahead as we strengthen our tech diplomacy efforts on a global scale!

“I believe that Jews, Christians and Muslims share more in common than what divides them, and because I know that since there is no such thing as a world without religion, we must do what is best with what we have been bequeathed.” My views on the crisis in the Middle East. Video coming.

On 29 September, Yunnan Chuxiong Normal College held an end-of-military-training drill.
The exercise consisted of a group of college students playing the role of migrant wage earners holding up a sign saying "pay what you owe" and another group of college students playing the role of armed police to "maintain stability".
In the end, the "armed police" squad succeeded in sending the "migrant wage earners" out of the field.

Professor Yuan Gang of Peking University: "The socialist system, to put it bluntly, is one in which the State acts as the total landlord and capitalist to support tens of millions of cadres, establishing a privileged society with a strong hierarchy, creating a class of cadres who are superior to the people, while the ordinary people remain in the position of being subjected to slavery and rule, and being brutally exploited.

🚨BREAKING: THE COUP IS OVER | WAGNER’S RETREATING
This official statement from Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner group and the leader of this coup, says it all. I don't think anyone expected this:
"They were going to dismantle PMC Wagner. We came out on 23 June to the March of Justice. In a day, we walked to nearly 200km away from Moscow. In this time, we did not spill a single drop of blood of our fighters. Now, the moment has come when blood may spill. That’s why, understanding the responsibility for spilling Russian blood on one of the sides, we are turning back our convoys and going back to field camps according to the plan."
The President of Belarus, Lukashenko, has been in talks with Prigozhin all day and has taken credit for the peace agreement.
Prigozhin accepted the terms of Lukashenko’s agreement and agreed to halt the movement of his forces and return back to his bases.
The agreement also guarantees security for fighters of PMC Wagner.
It seems that the attempted coup has come to an end, and Prigozhin, along with his men, will return to their bases.
Reports of Wagner forces not only leaving Moscow Oblas, but also leaving Rostov.
Russian media reports that criminal cases have already been dropped from Yevgeny Prigozhin and that Prigozhin and his forces will receive FULL IMMUNITY
Restrictions on the movement of vehicles have been lifted from the Voronezh region which saw clashes earlier during the coup.
MY THOUGHTS:
- I did not expect this would end peacefully with a deal as it seemed both sides seemed at the point of no return
- I have no idea how Prigozhin and Putin can both operate in Russia with what just transpired, and I also have no idea what will happen with the war in Ukraine but I wouldn’t be surprised if we see a space deal reached.
- Today was another example of citizen journalism replacing mainstream media with UNBIASED and UNCENSORED live breaking news.
- I am fried, been awake for more than 30 hours, initially doing a space with former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan before shifting to the Coup space which is at 21 hours and counting. Time for me to finally sleep!

The CCP's barbarism killed thousands in 1989. Its cover-up of the Wuhan Virus continues while thousands die each day.
Let us always remember the nature of Communism and the tyranny that always follows.
