Good Morning from West Bengal



A Taiwanese TV anchor with hundreds of thousands of followers was secretly submitting his scripts to China for approval before broadcasting them. He was paid in cryptocurrency for every video. And he was using the same bank accounts to bribe military personnel into handing over Taiwan's missile deployment data. Lin Chen-you, known by his screen name "Ma De," worked as a political reporter and anchor at CTiTV, one of Taiwan's major cable news networks, and ran a YouTube channel with a substantial following. On May 6, 2026, Taiwanese prosecutors indicted him on three counts after a four-month investigation. They are seeking 12 years in prison. The charges are specific and documented. First: Lin produced anti-recall propaganda videos during Taiwan's Legislative Yuan recall campaigns while following instructions from an unidentified Chinese contact, submitting his scripts for pre-approval before broadcasting them on television and YouTube. He then sent back viewership statistics and traffic screenshots as proof of impact. He received 4,325 USDT in Tether cryptocurrency for this work, approximately NT$130,000. Second: Lin provided at least five of his personal bank accounts as a money channel, wiring funds to six active and retired military personnel from Taiwan's Army, Navy, Air Force, and missile units. The bribed soldiers were instructed to film pro-CCP "surrender videos" while holding PRC flags and to photograph and transmit classified military documents through messaging apps. The secrets allegedly handed over included drone and missile data, Han Kuang military exercise details, rocket system specifications, missile deployment locations, new missile parameters, and internal operation manuals. From 2023 to 2025, Lin received nearly 50,000 USDT from Chinese sources, totalling over NT$1 million in illegal gains, laundered through Binance and OKX. Third: prosecutors charged him with money laundering for layering the cryptocurrency payments through multiple exchanges to conceal their origin. The lead prosecutor described Lin as a tool for information warfare who handed content control of a mainstream Taiwanese news platform directly to foreign hostile forces, calling his crimes "heinous and unforgivable." The case will not receive a public trial because the evidence involves classified national security material. Lin told investigators he did not know the money came from Chinese forces. Prosecutors noted that he submitted scripts for Chinese approval before every broadcast and sent back viewership data after each one. The evidence includes bank records, crypto transaction logs, chat histories, and confessions from several of his military co-defendants. The CCP did not need to hack Taiwan's military. It found a news anchor who needed money and gave him a script. #Taiwan #CCP #China #Espionage #MediaEspionage #NationalSecurity #Disinformation #CTiTV #Geopolitics #ChinaSpying

Major religions like Hinduism—the world’s third-largest faith—are excluded from human-rights discourse, international bodies and religious-freedom monitoring organizations. This asymmetry needs to be addressed, writes @avatans on.wsj.com/4dx1aPm




That could be Noakhali 2.0. Be careful what you wish for, lindoo.




PARANDUR AIRPORT ✈️ Why is it needed for Chennai?? A long read! Share Max. Firstly people who’s lands are being acquired for #Parandur Airport are being given : 🔹 3-4 times the market value of the land 🔹Alternate housing is being given to them just next to the project site . Tenders are already out for it 🔹Govt jobs are being promised to the people ➡️Now political parties should push the govt to make sure these benefits reach the people which they truly deserve rather than telling to completely drop the project! ➡️Chennai badly needs a new airport! The existing one at Meenambakkam has planned max capacity of 35 MPA and it’s the smallest in terms of area among all airports. Nearby Bengaluru (70MPA) or Hyderabad (70MPA) have bigger capacities. Mumbai & Delhi are building 2nd airports too. Bengaluru is going for 3rd airport ➡️One can’t acquire land at the existing airport. Getting land from OTA is close to impossible and cost of acquiring land at nearby Gerugambakkam is costlier than that at Parandur. ➡️ Existing one has a river too flowing through it and its layout has always been an issue given its narrow access via GST Rd. Cargo terminal is small as well and we have been losing to Bengaluru/Hyderabad in terms of Logistics ecosystem ➡️Airport is just not about the rich people flying. Reports suggest that more Indians will fly in the next 10 yrs. Indian Airlines have 1,000+ planes or order and we need airports to cater to them! Parandur with a full fledged airport will supports Logistics+ Warehousing ecosystem, Hotels, MRO etc providing jobs for Lakhs! ➡️4-5 sites were studied for a 2nd airport for Chennai & Parandur was found the best considering various factors! It’s literally impossible for find 4,000+ acres around Chennai without a water body or agri land! ➡️ Lastly the water bodies there at Parandur are man made lakes! The govt has setup a commission & studied its impact! New artificial lakes will be built with diversion water channel to prevent flooding! Any infra project will have its consequences! Mettur Dam was built submerging several villages. Today it’s the lifeline to several TN’s District!! Plz support the project! It’s need of the hour! TN and Chennai deserves a world class airport. Plz keep politics away 🙏🙏
