Former FBI official: Nashville bombing a ‘wakeup call’ on vulnerability of infrastructure
A former assistant FBI director said on Sunday that the massive Christmas morning bombing in downtown Nashville, Tenn., should serve as a “wake-up call” on the vulnerability of infrastructure in the nation.
“I think this is a wake-up call and a warning for all of us about how vulnerable our infrastructure is, how relatively easy it is for a single individual to do this,” said Frank Figliuzzi on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”
China Has ‘First-Strike’ Capability To Melt U.S. Power Grid With Electromagnetic Pulse Weapon
Last week, the EMP Task Force on National and Homeland Security issued a scary report on China’s ability to conduct an Electromagnetic Pulse attack on the United States. The key takeaway, according to Dr. Peter Pry, executive director of the task force, is that China now has super-EMP weapons, knows how to protect itself against an EMP attack, and has developed protocols to conduct a first-strike attack, even as they deny they would ever do so.

It’s a Small World After All: Chinese Influence in America Left-wing power centers double as back doors for Chinese interests.
In a recently released viral video, Chinese Professor Di Dongsheng of Remnin University of China explains in vivid detail how the communist regime bends Americans to their will. The Chinese communists, he says, “have people at the top of America’s core inner circle of power and influence. We have our old friends.”
Just where are these “circles of power and influence”? Notably, they are the elite power centers of the American political Left: the media, Hollywood, higher education, Wall Street, and Washington, D.C.

Don’t Pardon the Intrusion – Edward Snowden’s actions immeasurably weakened the United States and strengthened our adversaries.
The most surprising thing about the failure of U.S. intelligence to discover for nearly nine months the SolarWinds penetration of U.S. government agencies, reportedly including the State, Energy, and Homeland Security Departments as well as private contractors, is that anyone is surprised. After all, the National Security Agency, responsible for protecting the communications of the U.S. government, had such a massive hole punched in its capabilities by a breach in 2013 that Michael McConnell, the former director of first the NSA and then the Office of National Intelligence, assessed “This [breach] will have an impact on our ability to do our mission for the next 20 to 30 years.”
The Arab world has moved on from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The rest of the world should join them
Before President Trump, the conventional wisdom was that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was and would forever be at the center of Arab nations’ foreign policy in the region. Fortunately, this illusion has not survived his presidency. How quickly the Arab world has moved on. Now, the rest of the world should follow suit.
For decades, the United States and the international community have myopically obsessed over the need for a peace agreement between Israelis and Palestinians. While the resolution to that conflict would be a positive thing in and of itself, narrow focus on this to the exclusion of all else effectively prevented anyone from making attainable progress in the region.
‘We Will Squash Them’: The Persecution of Christians, November 2020
Indonesia: On Nov. 27, Islamic terrorists beheaded a Christian priest and killed three other Christians by slitting their throats in Lembantongoa village. During the raid, a Salvation Army church and six Christian homes were also torched. While acknowledging that an Islamic militant group was responsible, authorities claimed that the attack was not “religiously motivated.” One human rights researcher said that this “latest strike was a ‘clear escalation‘ of violence against Christians.”
Pakistan threatens Google, Wikipedia over ‘sacrilegious content’
Pakistan regulators on Friday decried internet giants Google and Wikipedia for “disseminating sacrilegious content.”
The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) called for the immediate removal of “unlawful content” from Google. The regulators pointed to pages that name religious leader Mirza Masroor Ahmad as the current “Khalifa” or leader of Islam, thus contradicting dominant religious beliefs in the country. They also decried an “unauthentic version of Holy Quran” on Google Play Store.
He Was Offended By A Private Video She Sent To A Friend. So He Waited A Year To Post It And Ruin Her Life.
Four years ago, 15-year-old Mimi Groves, then a freshmen at Heritage High School in Virginia, was excited to get her learner’s permit. After receiving it, she sent her friend a 3-second Snapchat video in which she said: “I can drive, [n-word]!”
‘Racially Diverse’ Cops Dumping Portland in Favor of Lower Paying Jobs in Places Where They’re Appreciated
Portland cops are already retiring in record numbers, but now cops are fleeing mid-career to go to places for lower pay and a fiscal hit to their retirement accounts. The Democrats’ embrace of the antifa and BLM defund-the-police stance is working—leaving Portlanders even more defenseless against rioters, looters, arsonists, squatters, and terrorists. In essence, the exodus is “a win by those that would want the police to be defunded,” according to the Portland Police Bureau’s human resources officer.
Soviet-Style Media Propaganda in America
Over there in The Wall Street Journal as we travel through the Christmas holiday season, was this very perceptive piece by one David Satter. Mr. Satter is identified as the “author of Age of Delirium: the Decline and Fall of the Soviet Union and a member of the academic advisory board of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation.”
At one stage in his earlier life he was the Moscow correspondent for The Financial Times of London, arriving in the Soviet capital in 1976. He went on to work for The Wall Street Journal as a special correspondent covering Soviet affairs. Suffice to say, he knows well how a state-run media runs.

Hundreds of UK tourists flee Covid quarantine in Swiss ski resort
About half of the 420 visitors ordered to self-isolate left Verbier in ‘cloak and dagger’ operation
Hundreds of British tourists fled the upmarket Swiss ski resort of Verbier in a “cloak-and-dagger operation” this week, breaking quarantine rules retroactively put in place to contain the spread of the coronavirus variant first discovered in the UK.
Following the detection of the new mutation of Covid-19 in Britain, Swiss authorities announced on 21 December that all people who had arrived from the UK since 14 December would need to self-isolate for 10 days from their date of arrival.
The new quarantine rules also applied to hundreds of British tourists who had planned to spend the Christmas break in Verbier, an alpine village located in the municipality of Bagnes in Canton du Valais, nicknamed “Little London” by locals for the British visitors who make up 20% of tourists during a typical winter season.
