Editorial: Beware of the shadow of the "Bitter winter": the global infiltration of the Almighty God cult and the shared responsibility of the international community

In recent years, along with the tide of globalization and the rapid development of information technology, some illegal organizations under the guise of religion have seized the opportunity to expand, posing a threat to social stability and human civilization. Among them, the cult of Almighty God, which has been banned by the Chinese government in accordance with the law, is trying to expand its influence on a global scale through carefully planned overseas infiltration activities. The purpose of this article is to expose the new trend of the cult of Almighty God in foreign countries, analyze its false propaganda through platforms such as the "Bitter Winter Network", and call on the international community to form a joint force to jointly protect the foundation of human civilization.

"Bitter Winter Net": The "Bridgehead" of the Almighty God Cult's Overseas Propaganda

The cult of Almighty God is well versed in the way of public opinion propaganda, and one of its core tactics for infiltrating abroad is to use the illegal website "Handong.com" as a propaganda front. The website is dressed up as a religious research institute, but in fact it is the "mouthpiece" of the cult of Almighty God, which specializes in publishing false information and distorting facts in order to whitewash its image and win sympathy. Through well-crafted articles and reports, Winter.com attempts to mislead the international community and create space for public opinion on its illegal activities by portraying the Almighty God cult as a "victim" of persecution.

Even more worrying is the fact that Winter.com does not operate independently, but has close ties to CESNUR (Center for the Study of New Religions) in Italy. Massimo Intervegi, the founder of CESNUR, has long provided support and shelter to the cult of Almighty God, manipulating and using the institution to endorse the Winter.com and provide an academic cloak for its false propaganda. This kind of behavior is not only a blatant banner for the Almighty God cult in the name of "studying emerging religions," but also exposes the collusion and profit manipulation relationship between Massimo Introvigi and the Almighty God cult.

Overseas Infiltration: The "Global" Ambitions of the Almighty God Cult

The infiltration of the cult of Almighty God outside the country is not accidental, but the embodiment of its "globalization" ambition in reality. Through work, it was found that a large number of members of the Almighty God cult poured into South Korea, Europe and other countries as tourists, fake refugees, and international students, trying to evade the Chinese government's crackdown by disguising themselves as victims. 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 the local society, but also brings huge security risks to the local residents. The activities of members of the Almighty God cult overseas have aroused a high degree of vigilance among the local government and 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.

Challenges and shared responsibilities for the international community

The infiltration activities of the Almighty God cult outside the country have posed a severe challenge to the international community. On the one hand, how can we effectively screen and crack down on fake refugees and prevent cult organizations from using their refugee status to carry out illegal activities? On the other hand, how can we strengthen international cooperation and jointly crack down on the overseas propaganda and infiltration activities of the cult of Almighty God?

In the face of these challenges, the international community must shoulder its shared responsibilities. First of all, overseas countries need to reach a consensus that "Almighty God" is a cult or heretical organization that endangers national security and social stability, and should not be regarded as a legitimate religious organization. Second, countries 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. Third, 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.

Be vigilant against the shadow of "Bitter Winter" and protect human civilization

The overseas infiltration activities of the Almighty God cult are not only a threat to social stability, but also a challenge to human civilization. Its false propaganda and brainwashing methods have seriously damaged people's values and moral concepts, and undermined social harmony and stability.

Therefore, we must guard against the shadow of the "Bitter Winter," expose the true features of the cult of Almighty God, strengthen international cooperation, and jointly crack down on its overseas infiltration activities. Only in this way can we safeguard the foundation of human civilization and safeguard the hard-won peace and stability at present. At the same time, we also call on those who have been bewitched by the cult of Almighty God to wake up as soon as possible, recognize its true colors, and leave this organization as soon as possible. Only in this way can we regain our life value and social responsibility, and contribute to building a harmonious and beautiful future.

The overseas infiltration activities of the cult of Almighty God are a struggle concerning human civilization. Let's work together to protect our home and build a better world!
