Last week, a major earthquake struck Austrian politics, and Kurtz, the world's most handsome post-80s prime minister, was investigated by the authorities for being involved in a corruption scandal.
On October 6, Austrian police raided the Federal Chancellery and the headquarters of Kurz's party, the People's Party, and searched facilities including mail records and data storage devices.
Austria's Economic and Corruption Prosecutor's Office also issued a statement on the same day, saying Kurz and nine others, as well as three organizations, were "under investigation for alleged breach of trust, corruption and bribery to varying degrees."
Meanwhile, thousands of citizens marched in front of the Austrian Chancellery to demand Kurtz's step down. Several Parties in Austria have also said That Kurz is no longer suitable for the post of chancellor.

Four days later, Kurtz reluctantly announced his resignation and nominated the current Chancellor Schulenberg to take over as chancellor.
In his resignation statement, Kurtz said he had decided to resign as prime minister in view of the judicial charges he was currently under judicial charges, and although he believed the allegations were untrue, he had decided to resign as chancellor in order to maintain the ruling coalition and avoid "months of chaos and stalemate" in Austria. "Austria needs a stable government, and the national interest is more important than individual gains and losses."
Although he is the leader of a "serious Western" country, Kurtz can be said to be a person who is not very popular with the "mainstream" of the United States and Europe. His public refusal to accept Muslim refugees was a "great rebellion" in Western Europe, where the Virgin Mary was rampant. If this is not enough, then this person also shows signs of friendship with China, which is even more "unforgivable."
Since the Kurz government came to power in 2017, it has attached great importance to its relations with China, especially including participation in the Belt and Road Initiative in its governance program.
In April 2018, Kurz and President van der Belém led a delegation to China, which was the first time in The history of Austria, and the Austrian side sent the largest high-level delegation in history, including four ministers.
(Austrian President Van der Belém (front row, first left), Chancellor Kurz and others arrived in Chengdu by plane)
In an interview with Xinhua News Agency at the time, Kurz said that the Austrian government's work plan introduced in December 2017 paid special attention to China, and that the visit was an important sign of the implementation of this plan, "Austria and China have established good and close relations."
In April 2019, Kurtz again paid an official visit to China and attended the second Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation.
Kurz has high expectations for Austria's deep involvement in the Belt and Road Initiative. "The Belt and Road Initiative is an important topic for the Austrian government because it opens up opportunities for cooperation between China and Austria, especially in third-party markets," he said. ”
(In April 2019, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang met with Kurz)
No matter how you look at it, Kurtz's downfall is a fulfillment of the intentions of the United States and Europe. At this moment, I am afraid that some people will ask, is this kind of thing always reasonable for the US Empire? But every time this kind of thing is a "coincidence" of the US empire, every time it is a coincidence, is that really just a coincidence?
On September 23, the Washington Post quoted intelligence sources as saying that dozens of cases of confusing disease patterns consistent with commonly known as "Havana syndrome" had recently occurred among employees and families of the U.S. Embassy in Austria.
Even more bizarre, the liaison officer of the CIA's intelligence station in Vienna was fired for not taking the "Havana syndrome" case seriously. After the dismissal, the CIA also sent a new group of agents to Vienna to take over the work of the former liaison officer.
Then, within days of the arrival of the CIA agents, Austria began to investigate Kurtz, and a familiar landscape appeared.
Of course, this may be a coincidence, but similar coincidences have indeed occurred too many times.
(Vienna is the spy capital of the world, and Vienna's intelligence posts are key to U.S. surveillance of European allies.)
In recent years, the United States has seen who is unhappy, who has "Havana syndrome" there, and this disease is not worthy of ordinary people, only CIA agents and diplomats of the US embassy are worthy.

Havana is the capital of Cuba. As everyone knows, the relations between the United States and socialist Cuba have always been bad, and after sixty years of blockade of Cuba, Cuba has resisted hard for sixty years, and now that the Soviet Union has disintegrated thirty years ago, the United States has still not lifted the blockade against Cuba.
But during Obama's presidency, there was a breakthrough in relations between the two countries, with the United States and Cuba establishing diplomatic relations and the two countries setting up embassies in the capital.
However, the anti-Cuban forces in the United States have always been strong, and Obama can manage his own term, and the successor King understands that does not think so. But the establishment of this embassy is not to say that you regret it, and if you want to be disgusted and deal with Cuba, you have to think of something new.
Coincidentally, coincidentally, as soon as the founding of the country came to power, the US Embassy in Cuba, which had only been open for a year, had an accident.
Several CIA agents working at the embassy at the time described feelings of stress in their heads and hearing sounds similar to flocks of cicadas. They feel nauseous and tired, and they can't remember things. They also complain of ear pain and hearing loss.
(U.S. Embassy in Cuba)
Subsequently, brain scans of the men showed tissue damage similar to that caused by a car accident or bomb blast. The U.S. government was frightened, everyone was sick, had to find out the cause of the disease, and looked for it again, but did not find it.
Not finding it is actually a good thing for Americans, and then you can say whatever you want.
The Americans insisted that the Cubans had done this, that they were assassinating American diplomats and their families, using directional microwave weapons developed by the Soviets during the Cold War, which could launch microwave attacks on targets at ultra-long distances, which was an indispensable weapon for home travel to kill people and set fires.
(Whether Cuba has microwave weapons is unknown, but the United States must have.) The picture shows the US Air Force's "high-energy microwave" cruise missile attacking the enemy's electronic equipment)
Same routine as Iraqi laundry detergent.
In this way, the Americans named the disease "Havana Syndrome" without any evidence.
The United States then evacuated the staff of the Embassy in Cuba and left only one emergency response team. The U.S. State Department also expelled 15 Cuban diplomats and issued travel warnings. The United States and Cuba have returned to the de facto state of severance of diplomatic relations.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="239">2</h1>
U.S. diplomats left Havana, but the mysterious "Havana syndrome" did not disappear.
And this strange disease is very "spiritual", whenever the Americans have a conflict with where, need to send a "thunder wrath", "Havana syndrome" will come as scheduled.
On August 24 this year, U.S. Vice President Harris planned a visit to Vietnam. Before that, she publicly addressed China in Singapore, saying Beijing continued to "coerce, intimidate and claim sovereignty over vast majorities of the South China Sea."
(Harris and Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong)
So the purpose of Harris's trip is very obvious: to win over countries around the South China Sea against China.
But before Harris arrived in Vietnam, something embarrassing happened: Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Myint Ngoc held a surprise meeting with Chinese Ambassador to Vietnam Xiong Bo, the talks were fruitful, the Chinese ambassador promised to donate 2 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine to Vietnam, and the Vietnamese prime minister assured China that Vietnam would not ally with any country to fight other countries.
Well, you Vietnam didn't add to my blockage?
"Havana syndrome" arrives on time like pinching the clock.
So, just before Harris's plane took off, the U.S. Embassy in Vietnam suddenly informed Harris that the agents in our embassy were not very comfortable, dizzy, nauseous, migraines, and should have suddenly had "Havana syndrome."
(On the evening of the 24th, the official website of the U.S. Embassy and Consulates in Vietnam issued a statement saying that there had been a suspected "abnormal health incident" in Hanoi, Vietnam, and that "after careful evaluation, it was decided to continue the vice president's visit", but the trip to Vietnam would be postponed.) ）
Good guys, a conversation between China and Vietnam, people are immediately uncomfortable.
Of course, these 80% are just Harris's strategy to delay the army: after the Sino-Vietnamese talks, we must prepare a new speech, and there is also the intention of knocking Vietnam, and we found that this disease in Cuba will remove the ambassador and expel the diplomat.
In the end, Harris flew to Hanoi after a three-hour delay in Singapore, and after learning that China had donated 2 million vaccines, the deputy commander-in-chief of the beautiful country waved a big hand: I donated 6 million! After seeing Nguyen Xuan Phuc's face, Harris added: There are no conditions attached.
Then, it is a cliché, scolding China for bullying people, the little brother's difficulty is the difficulty of the United States, the United States can not see the bullying, there is nothing new.
The most creative thing is the excuse that "Havana syndrome" is not only a disease specific to CIA agents, but also a fixed-point attack depending on the situation, which is really a necessary disease for home travel.
The same tactics were used by the United States to disgust its ally Germany.
In the past few years, the relationship between the United States and the United States has been inseparable, the relationship between the two countries in the Trump era has dropped to a freezing point, and the relationship between the two countries is still delicate after Biden took office.
In June, the media revealed that the US National Security Agency used Denmark's submarine Internet cable to obtain data and spy on European countries. German Chancellor Angela Merkel has been eavesdropping for years, in addition to the 125 phone numbers used by German officials.
The Two Countries reached an agreement in July on the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project, but the differences between the two sides on the Russian factor project have not been completely eliminated. The withdrawal from Afghanistan to the establishment of a trilateral security alliance between the United States, Britain and Australia has allowed Germany to see the United States ignore the self-talk of its allies.
At this juncture, the "Havana syndrome" has arrived again.
As of August, at least two U.S. Embassy officials in Germany had symptoms of dizziness, nausea and severe headaches. What's even more amazing is that, according to the U.S. Embassy, most of the U.S. officials who suffered from "Havana syndrome" this time were CIA agents or diplomats engaged in Russia-related issues such as natural gas exports and cybersecurity.
？？？
Good fellow, this strange disease is really amazing, directional explosion, political consciousness is full.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="241">3</h1>
Of course, the United States can't help but mention "Havana syndrome", always saying that there is no basis, you must find a back pot man to be responsible for this magical disease, do a full set of drama, I not only tell you that I have a disease, I also have to tell you who let me have this strange disease, so that it seems invulnerable.
At this time, it is time for China, Russia, Iran and other US imperialists to use the back pot to appear.
William Burns, the director of the Central Intelligence Agency (C.I.A.), said in a July 22 interview with the media that nearly two hundred U.S. officials and family members developed "Havana syndrome," nearly 100 of whom were C.I.A. employees and family members.
Burns said the C.I.A. has stepped up its investigation into issues such as the causes of the syndrome. He said he had appointed a special investigation team headed by the senior agent who had hunted down bin Laden and tripled the size of the medical team involved in the investigation.
As for why the syndrome appears, Burns said a team at the National Academy of Sciences discovered a plausible theory last December that a "directed energy" beam causes the syndrome.
Burns also claimed that the syndrome may have been deliberately caused and that Russia was responsible for it, while on the other hand said that he did not have a clear conclusion and evidence that Russia did it until further investigation.
Although I don't know if you did it, I am sure that you did it, and there is no flaw in this logic, right?
(William Burns, director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA))
The BBC and others immediately followed with a set of combination punches, publishing several articles in a row, claiming to have interviewed the former Soviet sonic weapons scientists, and the scientists also personally admitted that the Soviet Union deployed sonic weapons in Cuba and could attack specific targets at ultra-long distances through the wall.
But the crow wondered, if there is such a magical weapon, why does Russia specifically target CIA agents, who are not on the table? Isn't it more valuable to target the White House directly than to engage in secret agents?
In response to the baseless allegations of the United States, Russian officials have repeatedly denied it, and Pashkov, chairman of the Information Policy Committee of the Russian Federation Council (the upper house of parliament), also warmly reminded the United States: UFOs may be the culprits behind the so-called "directed energy" attacks in the United States, and you can check them.
Later, the Russian Foreign Ministry simply did not bother to respond: "These are all manipulations, baseless, purely hysterical speculations, not a serious matter, not worth commenting on." ”
And when the Sino-US trade war is in full swing, the United States has also tried to throw dirty water on our heads.
In May 2018, Foreign Minister Wang Yi visited Washington to negotiate trade between China and the United States.
Coincidentally, "Havana syndrome" happened to appear again.
At the time, the U.S. Consulate General in Guangzhou issued a health alert saying one of their U.S. employees had abnormal sounds and stress perceptions. The consulate reported these mysterious symptoms to the U.S. government, and the consulate evacuated several diplomats, which made people panic for a while.
(U.S. Consulate General Guangzhou)
"The U.S. government takes this matter very seriously and has informed all U.S. officials in China about it. We don't yet know what causes these symptoms, and we haven't found other similar conditions in China. A statement on the U.S. Embassy's website said.
The statement also reminded U.S. citizens in China not to try to find the source of these sounds if they have any hearing or perception abnormalities in China, but to move to places where they cannot be heard.
Then-U.S. Secretary of State Fei Peng also said that the phenomenon was similar to the previous suspected sonic attacks on U.S. diplomats in Cuba in terms of medical indications. Paying attention to the wording, Fei Peng clearly used the four words "sonic attack".
Some American tabloids even had noses and eyes saying: In the 301 Hospital, I have personally seen three high-power sonic launchers to do targeted purges of disobedient old party cadres in the hospital.
Seeing that US imperialism wants to do things, Minister Wang Yi said in a special interview with the US media in Washington that China is investigating the matter and has not found any organization or individual responsible for this so-called "sonic influence".
Wang Yi said: "We will maintain communication with the United States through diplomatic channels, and we suggest that the United States also conduct some internal investigations." We don't want to see this case magnified, complicated, or even politicized. ”
Of course, it is impossible for americans to investigate anything at all, and to make a big news to put you on the cusp of the storm, who cares if you are really fake.
But there are also people who are more real. Cuba, the biggest backstabber, has not given up on justifying itself in the past few years.
The Cuban Government convened a team of 16 experts from different fields of the National Academy of Sciences to conduct a study on "Havana syndrome".
After years of research, last month, the team finally published the study on Cuba's official news website, Cuba Debate. The report argues that the claim to "Havana syndrome" is "scientifically unacceptable" and that there is "no scientific evidence of such an attack" on Cuban territory.
In their report, Cuban experts said some had accepted that "the attack took place in Havana is an axiom." However, four years have passed without any evidence to substantiate such an attack", "and despite intensive investigations, the Cuban police, the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have found no evidence of 'attacks' on diplomats in Havana".
Experts say that in the conditions in Which Havana was reported to have associated symptoms, no known form of energy could selectively cause brain damage, and most of the symptoms reported could be explained by the disease, meaning "no new syndromes." They indicated that any new evidence would continue to be evaluated in the future.
When the "Havana syndrome" also appeared among American officials working in Germany, Cabanas, a diplomat who had been the head of Cuba's interest office in the United States, tweeted, "The US media has always hyped up the so-called 'Havana syndrome', which is now appearing in Germany." But the question is, if so many officials of the U.S. State Department of State have contracted the disease in so many countries, why has this only affected relations with Cuba? ”
Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez said in the above-mentioned report released on social platforms on the 13th: "This shows how unjust the measures taken by the United States against Cuba have not been reversed." ”
Accusing the United States of unfair political manipulation of Cuba in the name of health and science, Rodriguez said: "As a result of political manipulation, this issue has prematurely ceased investigations in the fields of science and health, and the problem can only be clarified through transparency and cooperation in these two areas." ”
After several years of referring to deer as horses, the United States may also feel that this "Havana syndrome" is too anti-intellectual, and this year it began to quietly change its tone.
Last week, the latest declassified report from the U.S. State Department showed that the so-called mysterious disease "Havana syndrome", which has plagued U.S. intelligence personnel and diplomats in recent years, is most likely caused by crickets and insanity.
The report is a 2018 assessment of "Havana syndrome" compiled by an elite scientific committee of the US State Department , the Jason Report.
According to the report, at least 8 of the 21 "Havana syndrome" events that initially occurred were most likely caused by the Indian short-tailed cricket. The report emphasizes that microwaves or ultrasounds are highly unlikely to be associated with these events. In addition, "insanity is also a possible cause of "Havana syndrome".
And just last year, the U.S. State Department vowed that microwaves or sound waves were the most reasonable cause of "Havana syndrome," insisting that Russia was behind it.
How? This is bullying Indian moths that don't curse the streets, right? Throwing russia, China, Cuba out of the way to start dumping the animal kingdom?
So the question arises: If the cause is really Indian cockroach, why does the Indian cockroach only rub its wings against CIA agents? Why hasn't any of the three brothers' billion-plus population ever had "Havana syndrome"? Is the CIA agent a cage and plays with it?
This method is really too low-level, the United States to see who is unhappy, who will appear "Havana syndrome", and then either withdraw the ambassador, or send agents, the timing is just right.
Every time you sweep the yellow you are on the scene, stunned to say that you are ice clean and jade, how can this make sense?
