The FSB of Russia detained two people who were preparing a military coup in Belarus and the elimination of President Alexander Lukashenko. This was reported on Saturday at the Public Relations Center (DSP) of the FSB.

"The Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, together with the State Security Committee of the Republic of Belarus (RB), as a result of a special operation, suppressed the illegal activities of Yuri Leonidovich Zyankovich, who has dual citizenship of the United States and the Republic of Belarus, and Alexander Iosifovich, a citizen of the Republic of Belarus, Feduta. revolutions "with the involvement of local and Ukrainian nationalists, as well as the physical elimination of President Alexander Lukashenko," the DSP stressed.

According to the FSB, Zyankovich arrived in Moscow after consultations in the United States and Poland to meet with representatives of the Belarusian Armed Forces to persuade them to participate in a military coup involving local and Ukrainian nationalists. “After documenting the meeting, the conspirators were detained by the Russian security agencies and handed over to their Belarusian partners,” the FSB said.

“The plans ware to capture the child, and if possible another one. “We'll put it in the cellar” ... By the way, in the Gomel region they have also prepared the cellar. We detained the group. They brought us, showed us how it was all planned. I was silent. Then we discovered the work of clearly foreign intelligence services - most likely the CIA. We discovered their desire to come to Minsk and start organizing an attempt on the life of the president and children, ” - Lukashenko said.

After that, Minsk contacted Moscow “so that they were in the subject,” the Belarusian president continued. The "agents" who flew in from the United States were eventually captured in Moscow, Lukashenko claims.

Lukashenko openly connects the assassination ride with the new old "top US leadership."

All as usual.

With the advent of the Chia cryptocurrency, miners in China are frantically buying up all available hard drives and SSDs. Unlike other cryptocurrencies, Chia is not mined with a processor, video card, or specialized ASIC chip. Instead, Chia processing requires storage space and therefore miners are buying up HDDs and SSDs.

Unlike Bitcoin, which is based on proof of work, Chia uses a proof of space and time model. Chia is reportedly being promoted as an environmentally friendly cryptocurrency. Bram Cohen, famous for the BitTorrent protocol, created Chia to take advantage of free space on storage devices. Hard drives and solid state drives use less power, are easier to get and cheaper to buy. For comparison, mining Ethereum or Bitcoin requires significant energy costs.

Jiahe Jinwei, one of the largest Chinese memory manufacturers, told MyDrivers that the 1TB and 2TB high-performance Gloway and Asgard NVMe M.2 SSDs have already been sold out. The manufacturer plans to impose restrictions to prevent miners from buying massive amounts of consumer SSDs.

Chia is not yet officially available for trading, so it's too early to start stocking up on hard drives or SSDs.

Also note the personalities, as firm who made Bittorrent is associated with CIA and other US agencies. Aty the time this protocol had been used to suppress very dangerous trend of fast evolving P2P protocols and software, as contrary to torrents they are much harder to find, track and block.

Congressional China hawks are urging the Biden administration to restrict sales of chip-making tools to Chinese companies, similar to an action taken against telecommunications equipment maker Huawei Technologies Co (HWT.UL).

In a letter to U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, Representative Michael McCaul and Senator Tom Cotton said the rule that requires U.S. licenses to sell semiconductors made abroad with U.S. technology to Huawei should apply to any Chinese company designing more advanced chips at 14-nanometers or below.

The letter, which is dated April 13 and was made public on Thursday, seeks licenses for the sale of electronic design automation (EDA) software, among other curbs on chip-related sales to Chinese companies.

The actions would "ensure U.S. companies as well as those from partner and allied countries are not permitted to sell the communists the rope they will use to hang us all," the letter said.

It is just inevitable.

From today Positive Technologies is under US sanctions and it is prohibited to do any business with them.

Company is known for research of undocumented Intel ME engine and corresponding secret parts of CPUs.

Recently they unveiled hidden and totally secret commands that each Intel processor has and that are aimed to provide total control and go around any restrictions that OS has.

It seems like Intel is not much happy as company is very close to disclosing huge security holes. It can be politics only that prevent huge worldwide scandal now that will follow after disclosure.
