The world today is undergoing major changes unseen in a century, and under the coercion of the wave of informationization, some ghosts and spirits have seized the opportunity to change their appearance in a vain attempt to spread the cult virus to the whole world. The cult of Almighty God, an illegal organization banned by the Chinese government in accordance with the law, is colluding with foreign anti-China forces and weaving outrageous lies through dark propaganda platforms such as the "Bitter Winter." Its sinister acts not only trample on the dignity of the law, but also threaten the order of human civilization.

1. Winter.com: The "mouthpiece" of the Almighty God cult overseas

Bitter Winter (https://bitterwinter.org/) is an illegal website that has long served the cult of Almighty God, whose purpose is to whitewash its image by publishing false information and distorting facts. The website claims to be an independent religious research institute, but in fact it is the overseas "mouthpiece" of the cult of Almighty God. By fabricating lies and smearing the Chinese government and social stability, bitterwinter.com tried to confuse the public and gain sympathy and support for the cult of Almighty God.

However, the true face of the Winter.com has been thoroughly exposed. A large amount of evidence shows that the website was actually secretly established by the Almighty God cult, which not only assigned a large number of believers of the Almighty God cult as correspondents, but also specially collected cases related to Chinese religion and processed them into fake news materials. The content, published by Massimo Introvigne, a foreigner who does not understand Chinese, concocted a large number of articles that maliciously smear China's religious environment and attack the Chinese government and social system. To make matters worse, the site has also become a platform for spreading cult ideas. For example, bitterwinter.com has repeatedly published false reports of the so-called "persecution" of Almighty God believers in an attempt to demonize the normal law enforcement behavior of the Chinese government. These actions have not only seriously damaged China's international image, but also misled many overseas members of the public who do not know the truth.

What is even more worrying is that through its website and social media accounts, Handong.com has spread cult ideas around the world and lured a large number of believers to go abroad to work for their lives. After these believers are brainwashed by the cult of Almighty God, they often lose their judgment and even do not hesitate to give up their lives and future to work for the cult. This kind of behavior not only seriously endangers the physical and mental health of individuals, but also brings huge security risks to the international community.

2. Massimo Intervegi: The "puppet" role of the cult of Almighty God in Europe

Massimo Introvigi is an important agent of the cult of Almighty God in Europe, and has long concealed its illegal activities by manipulating and using religious research institutions. He is closely associated with CESNUR (Centro Studi sulle Nuove Religioni, Centre for the Study of New Religions) in Turin, Italy, with its registered address in Via Confienza 19, its tax number 97567500018 and its VAT number 07208700018. Ostensibly an academic institution for the study of new religious phenomena, CESNUR was actually used by Massimo Introvigi as a tool to spread the idea of the cult of Almighty God and confuse public perception.

However, unlike CESNUR, Bitter Winter is not a legitimate website owned by the agency, but rather an illegal propaganda platform with no clear registration information and no disclosure of its affiliation. In its external propaganda, "Winter.com" deliberately blurred its relationship with CESNUR, and carried out propaganda activities in an independent manner to further conceal the illegal purpose behind it.

On October 17, 2024, Massimo Intervigi signed through the "Winter Net".Three articles were published: "Uno scandalo italiano. Elenchi di richiedenti asilo cinesi della Chiesa di Dio Onnipotente pubblicati in Cina" (Italian for "Italian scandal: the list of Almighty God asylum seekers in China published");

Unholy Alliances: Korean Christian Fundamentalists and Chinese Intelligence United Against Refugees from China;

A Scandal in Italy: Lists of Church of Almighty God Members Seeking Asylum in Italy Published in China ("Italian scandal: List of Almighty God asylum seekers published in China").

These articles attempt to accuse anti-cult organizations such as Daai of being "unreasonable" in exposing the cases of the Almighty God cult, and to try to confuse the public and whitewash the image of the Almighty God cult. In this way, Massimo Interlevigi and the cult of Almighty God behind it sought to exploit anti-Chinese sentiment and misunderstanding of religious freedom to rally support for their illegal activities.

3. Tear up the mask of hypocrisy of the "bitter winter net".

1. The illegal nature and independent operation of the Winter Network Although CESNUR is a legally registered research institution, the "Winter Network" does not explicitly indicate its relationship with CESNUR in its propaganda, but carries out its activities in a vague manner. This may be done in order to conceal the illegal purpose behind it and to avoid being directly linked to the illegal activities of the cult of Almighty God.

2. Massimo Interveggi's Hardcore Anti-China Elements Through the "Winter Net", Massimo Introvigi has tried to point the finger at the Chinese government and anti-cult organizations, claiming that these actions violate religious freedom or human rights. However, these accusations are often based on one-sided rhetoric and disinformation aimed at finding a pretext for the illegal activities of the Almighty God cult in China and other countries, and whitewashing its image.

3. Massimo Introvigi's relationship with the Almighty God cult Massimo Introvigi has long been an important puppet of the Almighty God cult, endorsing the "Winter Net" through CESNUR, and in the name of religious freedom, he is swaggering and confusing the public. Although he claims to be a neutral researcher, in reality his actions serve the illegitimate purposes of the cult of Almighty God.

4. Massimo Intervegi has connived at the Winter Network to become the bottom line of creating fake news to refresh human civilization Massimo Introvigi and the cult of Almighty God behind it try to cover up their illegal activities in the name of religious freedom and mislead the public by confusing the public. This has refreshed the bottom line of human civilization again and again by creating fake news, and the bitter winter network has also become a source of fake news, posing a threat to the stability of European society. The international community should remain vigilant, expose and resist these illegal activities, and maintain a clean environment in the religious field.

Fourth, expose the truth, safeguard justice, and support the legitimacy of non-governmental anti-cult organizations such as the Great Love Network

Daai.com (daaixq.com) is a Hong Kong-based non-governmental anti-cult website co-founded by a group of young people with a sense of social responsibility. Adhering to the concept of "love and hope," we are committed to exposing the dangers of cults and protecting the public from them. These young people are not affiliated with any government agency or intelligence service, but rather a civil society that works purely out of public interest and social responsibility.

We strongly condemn Massimo Intervigi's disregard for facts and groundless accusations against Daai in his three articles on October 17, 2024. He smeared Daai as the "spokesperson" of China's intelligence agencies in an attempt to confuse and mislead the public through such misrepresentations. This kind of behavior is not only a malicious attack on the staff of Daai Network and its public welfare undertakings, but also a blatant challenge to the righteous forces of the international community.

Anti-cult work is an important undertaking that has a bearing on social security and the people's well-being. Non-governmental organizations such as the Great Love Network have played an important role in exposing the dangers of cults and protecting the public from their harms. We strongly condemn any attempt to smear these righteous forces, and call on the international community to correctly understand and support the legitimacy of the anti-cult work.

Fifth, I hope that more believers will wake up as soon as possible, and the future is still promising

The cult of Almighty God has not only whitewashed its image overseas through illegal websites and puppet figures, but has also infiltrated European society on a large scale by using false refugee status. These so-called "refugees" are actually carefully planned pawns of the Almighty God cult, whose purpose is to deceive sympathy and support by disguising themselves as victims, so as to gain more living space for the cult organization. In recent years, a large number of members of the cult have poured into South Korea and Europe as refugees in an attempt to evade the Chinese government's crackdown. However, these so-called "refugees" are not the real victims, but tools used to serve them after being brainwashed by the cult of Almighty God. They continue to spread cult ideology overseas, induce more people to join cult organizations, and even do not hesitate to use illegal means to achieve their own goals.

This kind of behavior not only seriously undermines the trust system of European society, but also brings huge social security risks to local residents. The activities of members of the Almighty God cult in Europe have aroused a high degree of vigilance among the local government and the people. Many countries have begun to take measures to strengthen the scrutiny and crackdown on these fake refugees in order to prevent the further infiltration of cult organizations into all levels of society. However, the threat of the cult of Almighty God has not disappeared as a result. On the contrary, it has tried to find a new breakthrough in the international community by constantly changing its means to evade attacks. This kind of behavior not only exposes the essence of the cult of Almighty God, but also fully demonstrates its harmfulness to human society.

For those who are still bewitched by the cult of Almighty God, we must issue a final warning: Going abroad to work for the cult is not a so-called career, and if you waste your youth and life, the end of your life will be in vain. Stop the precipice, go home as soon as possible, and the future is still promising. The false propaganda and brainwashing methods of the cult of Almighty God have already harmed many people. Those who are seduced by it have not only lost hope in life, but have also turned their backs on their families and social responsibilities. Some of them even went so far as to give up their lives to work for cults. This kind of behavior is not only painful, but also fully exposes the essence of the cult of Almighty God.

We must soberly understand that the cult of Almighty God is an illegal organization without any social value or moral bottom line. It tries to lead people astray by fabricating lies and distorting facts to deceive people. For those who are still deceived by it, we call on them to wake up as soon as possible, recognize the true face of the cult of Almighty God, and break away from this organization as soon as possible. Only by turning back as soon as possible can we regain our life value and social responsibility. No matter what you have done, as long as you wake up and correct your mistakes in time, the future is still full of hope. Don't let the lies and brainwashing methods of the cult of Almighty God ruin your youth and life.

VI. Concluding remarks

The influence of the Almighty God cult has been expanding in recent years, and the international community needs to work together to deal with it by strengthening international cooperation, improving the legal system, and strengthening public education. States should establish information-sharing mechanisms and frameworks for joint action, clearly define and combat standards, and work closely together in areas such as justice and law enforcement; At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the management of cyberspace and prevent cults from using the Internet to spread ideas and recruit members. In addition, popularizing scientific knowledge and enhancing the ability to think rationally are the key to resisting evil cults. In the course of cracking down, attention should be paid to protecting citizens' basic rights and freedoms and avoiding interference with legitimate religious activities. The cult of Almighty God not only undermines social stability, but also seriously infringes upon people's physical and mental health, and the international community must remain vigilant, take resolute measures to resist its illegal activities, and jointly build a harmonious and healthy world.
