　　In order to let the public know "America’s corrupt electoral system and hypocritical electoral law", since April 11th, protesters from 33 states in the United States have staged a sit-in demonstration in front of the square of the US Capitol. They shouted slogans such as "end money politics and ensure fair elections", "drive money out of politics", "return Congress to the people" and "end money corruption and ensure free and fair elections", demanding that Congress take immediate action to implement changes, eradicate systematic corruption and abandon money politics. As of April 16, local time, the continuous protests in front of the Capitol Square in the United States have caused more than 900 arrests, breaking the record of the largest number of arrests in the Capitol Square.

　　"In this environment, everything is controlled by big companies, even the government, and the people are the most powerless."

　　Every day, many protesters are arrested for "illegal demonstrations, assemblies and obstruction of justice". According to reports, the protest was supported by hundreds of non-governmental organizations, and more than 4,000 people registered on the organizer’s website, risking their arrest to express their "determination to regain their own democracy."

　　A protester stepped on stilts and wore clothes made of American flag, which were covered with trademarks of big American companies. He told this reporter: "We live in such an environment, everything is controlled by big companies, even the government, and the most powerless is the people who have votes."

　　Andrea Ray, plastered with homemade "Dollar" slogans, tore off a piece of "million denomination" green paper and gave it to reporters, jokingly saying, "Maybe you can run for parliament, too."

　　Christian, a musician from Chicago, wrote: "Democracy means that beggars at the bottom of society who beg in the street and rich people who live in luxury villas all have the same vote. If money is in charge, there is no equality between them … … Whether it was signed at the beginning or now, the spirit of equality in the Declaration of Independence has never been realized. " He believes that this struggle "is not about the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, but about the definition of democracy and the American spirit".

　　Demonstrators stated on their website: "From the campaign for voting rights that began in the 1960s to the recent ‘ Occupy Wall Street ’ Move to ‘ Black people’s lives are at stake ’ Movement, the American people showed great strength. These non-violent movements quickly changed the political climate and kicked off reforms that seemed impossible before. " The protests in front of the Capitol let the American media lament that the "democratic spring" is coming to Washington. However, some media do not agree with this, thinking that this is just a replica of "Occupy Wall Street". Christopher Green, a media person and founder of "Alternative Media Television", is pessimistic about whether the protesters’ goals can be achieved. He said: "Most Americans know that the problem of democracy in the United States is systematic and the elections in the United States are rigged. Of course, the American people have reason to be angry, because politics is dominated by money, which is also one of the root causes of oligarchy and populism in the United States. Money will not disappear from the election. Looking closely at this year’s general election, you will find that money is still the dominant force. "

　　"Everything here needs to change, but I don’t see any politician with this ambition. Maybe only we can bring about change."

　　The "Election Justice Project" jointly completed by the Kennedy School of Government of Harvard University and the School of Government and International Relations of the University of Sydney holds that the United States has the worst elections in established democracies, especially in terms of election fund-raising and voter registration. According to the data provided by the non-governmental organization "On our behalf", in the past five years, the 200 most politically active companies in the United States spent a total of $5.8 billion to influence US policy making and obtained a total economic return of $4.4 trillion.

　　The year of election is often also a year when "money politics" is highly active. In the eyes of these protesters, Washington is increasingly addicted to "money politics", while big companies and rich people manipulate politics, damaging people’s right to participate in politics on an equal footing. In 2016, the United States will hold presidential elections and congressional elections. Some analysts estimate that this year’s presidential election expenses are expected to exceed $5 billion, easily breaking the record of $2 billion set in 2012 and becoming the "most expensive election" in American history.

　　When analyzing the relationship between money and politics a few days ago, the website of the American "Atlantic" monthly magazine said ironically that people are generally aware of the problem of money in politics, and even Sanders of the Democratic Party and Trump of the Republican Party agree with this. Throughout the campaign, Sanders complained about the corrupt influence of wealthy donors and corporate donors, while Trump exposed the whole game, saying that he had sent money to politicians to curry favor with them. And the results of these two people’s elections show that people hate the role that money plays in politics.

　　Wendell Porter, an American political writer, believes that the "Democratic Spring" is regarded as a protest led by the left wing of the Democratic Party. In fact, the right wing of the Republican Party has also joined in, because everyone is concerned about what is wrong with our democracy.

　　Some people who participated in this sit-in demonstration were supporters of Sanders and wore signs supporting him, but they made it clear that all the candidates, including Sanders, did not do enough. Bob, the chef who came from Baltimore to participate in the protest, said, "Everything needs to change, but I don’t see any politician with this ambition. Maybe only we can bring about change."

　　"Our politics and democracy have been riddled with holes. It’s a shame that the American media didn’t come to report and needed foreign media to deliver these news!"

　　USA Today commented frankly: "Protesters still don’t get the kind of public attention they want." Arousing public concern and promoting the reform of the electoral system is the biggest goal of the protesters, but from beginning to end, the protesters have never aroused the "passion" of the American media.

　　According to the statistics of "Interceptor" website, more than 400 people were arrested in the demonstration sit-in on the 11th, and the American media remained silent. CNN did not report it, while the reporting time of Microsoft National Cable Broadcasting Corporation and Fox TV was only 12 seconds and 17 seconds respectively. Not only in the reporting time, but also in the content, both media said that the protesters were concerned about the issue of election rights, without mentioning the slogans of "opposing systematic political corruption" and "opposing money politics". In contrast, when an anti-Muslim demonstration took place in Phoenix, Arizona in May 2015, CNN made a long live broadcast. At the scene of this protest, demonstrators shouted "Where is CNN?"

　　A protester named Williams told this reporter that the media did not report because big media groups have close ties with "those in power". For example, Comcast, the largest cable TV and broadband network operator in the United States, is an important interest group, an important donor of the two parties and the parent company of Microsoft National Cable Broadcasting Corporation. According to Elizabeth Werner, vice-chairman of Cantar, a media analysis agency, the candidates will spend $4.4 billion on TV advertisements in this year’s general election.

　　Amir Breka, from Kentucky, told this reporter: "I voted for Senate Majority Leader McConaughey twice, and now I have lost my job. He has done nothing, and the Senate he led has done nothing, not even discussing the approval of the nomination of the Supreme Court Justice. As long as Congress is not thoroughly reformed, the future of this country is the same. "

　　When it comes to the absence of American media, Peter in North Carolina is quite helpless: "I risked being arrested to protest in front of the Capitol to arouse people’s attention. Our politics and democracy are already riddled with holes, and the American media actually don’t report it. It’s a shame that foreign media are needed to convey this news to the American people!"

　　Adakova, a policeman on duty, told the protesters around him: "Go home quickly. It’s useless for you to protest here. Do you think people in Congress can hear you?" Williams was indignant: "Politics in Washington must be changed. We believe in our own strength. "

　　In the cold winter, many people first think of soaking in hot springs. However, although the hot spring is good, it should be decided according to its own situation, so don’t blindly "enter the soup".

　　Many people feel that it’s hard to soak in a hot spring, and if you want to soak, you have to soak enough. In fact, the time spent in hot springs is not as long as possible. Remember a principle when soaking in hot springs: temperature is inversely proportional to time. Generally soak for 5-10 minutes at a time; Hot springs with low water temperature can be soaked for 20-30 minutes at a time. The number of hot springs per day should be 2-3 times, and frequent bathing is not advisable. If you take too many baths, it will lead to excessive physical exertion, but it will easily cause fatigue and backfire.

　　Some people think that leaving the substances in hot springs on the skin is good for the body, but it is not. Because if you encounter a hot spring with high concentration of sulfur or alkaline components, if you don’t clean it or dry it, after the water evaporates, the concentration of these substances left on the skin will increase by dozens of times, which is very irritating to the skin. Sulfur and other acid and alkali substances contained in hot springs can diminish inflammation and sterilize, which is quite effective for general infectious or parasitic skin diseases, but sometimes it can irritate skin wounds and cause deterioration, and even lead to "hot spring skin diseases".

　　Don’t use soap-containing cleaning products when washing. Wash the water at a lower temperature. Finally, dry the whole body, and then apply lotion to the face and body to moisturize and lock the skin moisture. Be careful not to rub hard when taking a bath, especially the skin folds around the armpit, crotch, navel and limbs.

　　Before entering the hot spring, you should take a small amount of hot spring water in a small wooden bucket and pour it on your body, so that your body can adapt to the water temperature and then soak in the bath, so as to avoid sudden blood pressure drop and dizziness caused by anemia. It is suggested to detect the temperature of spring water with your hands or feet first, and never jump into the hot spring at once.

　　Don’t soak in hot springs immediately after a long trip, take a proper rest first. Hot springs should be avoided on an empty stomach and after meals to avoid anemia and indigestion, which may cause collapse on an empty stomach. To avoid taking a bath after drinking, taking a bath after drinking is most likely to cause heart or vascular system emergencies.

　　Don’t do strenuous exercise before taking a hot spring bath. After exercise, the heart rate and blood flow are accelerated, and the heat effect of hot springs is not good for the body; After exercise, it is best to rest for 10-20 minutes before taking a hot spring bath.

　　Massage cooperation. Appropriate acupoint massage will strengthen the health care effect of hot springs and have obvious therapeutic effects on some diseases. Women should not soak in hot springs for too long, otherwise it will easily destroy the normal pH and beneficial bacteria ecology in the vagina, and the vagina will be easily infected and itchy.

　　If you feel dry mouth and chest tightness, take a break by the pool, do some stretching exercises, and drink some distilled water to replenish water. Some people like to be soaked red all over, so it is especially necessary to observe whether there is any phenomenon such as rapid heartbeat and difficulty breathing to avoid danger. After bathing, you should wear a bathrobe and go back to your room to rest. Be careful not to catch cold. You should drink water or drink some drinks properly to replenish the lost water.

　　Finally, there are several situations in which it is best not to soak in hot springs: cancer patients and tuberculosis patients should not bathe in hot springs, and these two types of patients may have metastasis after bathing in hot springs; Patients with severe skin diseases should not wash hot springs because it may cause cross infection; Patients with cardiovascular diseases should soak in hot springs under the advice and observation of doctors; Diabetic patients can’t wash overheated hot springs. If the temperature is too high, it will speed up metabolism and increase the physical burden of diabetic patients. In the early pregnancy and labor period, it is not suitable for women with menstrual period or wounds to wash hot springs; Old people, people with dry skin or itchy skin in winter should not soak in hot springs for too long. Remember to drink water to replenish the water lost due to rising body temperature. In the hot spring pool, remember to take care of your face and skin to avoid steaming your face in the high temperature for too long. You can apply a mask or wipe your face with a cold towel.

The National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center and Company 360 jointly released an investigation report today (4th), revealing the relevant situation of the CIA’s use of the network to attack other countries, revealing the specific process of some typical cyber security incidents in China and other countries, comprehensively and deeply analyzing the CIA’s cyber attacks and related real harm activities, and its contribution to the United States becoming a "matrix". The release of this report will provide reference and suggestions for cyber attack victims all over the world.

The US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is one of the main intelligence agencies of the US federal government. For a long time, the CIA has secretly carried out "peaceful evolution" and "color revolution" around the world, and continued to carry out espionage activities.

In 2020, 360 Company independently discovered a cyber attack organization that had never been exposed by the outside world. The organization used cyber weapons tools associated with the CIA to carry out cyber attacks against victims in China and other countries. The earliest attack activities can be traced back to 2011, and related attacks have continued to this day. The targets of the attack involve important information infrastructure, aerospace, scientific research institutions, petroleum and petrochemical, large Internet companies and government agencies.

The investigation team jointly established by the National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center and 360 Company found that in the massive global cyber attack, the CIA used a large number of "zero-day" vulnerabilities, including a large number of back doors and vulnerabilities that have not been publicly disclosed so far (some functions have been verified), set up "zombie" networks and attack springboard networks around the world, and carried out attacks and intrusions in stages against network servers, network terminals, switches and routers, and a large number of industrial control equipment.

During the investigation of several typical cyber attacks in China, the joint investigation team captured and successfully extracted a large number of Trojan horse programs, functional plug-ins and attack platforms closely related to the CIA from the information network of the injured unit. These related cyber weapons have been subjected to extremely strict standardized, streamlined and professional software engineering management. At present, only the US Central Intelligence Agency strictly abides by these standards and norms to develop cyber attack weapons.

Through empirical analysis, the joint investigation team found that the CIA’s cyber weapons used extremely strict spy technical specifications, and all kinds of attack methods echoed and interlocked. Now it has covered almost all Internet and Internet of Things assets in the world, and it can control other countries’ networks and steal important and sensitive data anytime and anywhere, which undoubtedly requires a lot of financial, technical and human resources support. The American-style cyber hegemony can be seen, and the "matrix" deserves its name.

At present, the joint investigation team has provided relevant information to the public security organs in the jurisdiction where the injured units are located. This station will continue to pay attention to the follow-up progress of this matter. (CCTV reporter Li Wenjie Zhang Gang)
