Intel Leak: Disguised Chinese Spyware Still Sold to U.S. Government

U.S. officials are concerned that Beijing has potentially compromised American defense agencies via banned video surveillance equipment sold in disguise to government suppliers, according to the recently leaked Pentagon documents.

One of the leaked documents (written by the Defense Intelligence Agency, DIA) names the Chinese video surveillance camera producer Hikvision, which has been banned in the U.S. under the National Defense Authorization Act since 2019, purporting that the company frequently engages in “white-labeling”—a process in which their products are being rebranded by resellers in order to access markets that are restricted for the original brand.

China’s Stateside ‘Rent-A-Womb’ Industry Poses Yet Another National Security Nightmare

American policymakers need to get serious about countering the threat from communist China. While the House China Select Committee has announced it will be investigating Chinese investment in U.S. research and academia, farmland, entertainment, social media, and defense contracts, it should also examine the Chinese “rent-a-womb” industry in America.

Increasingly, Chinese nationals are using American surrogates to bear their children. Thanks to in vitro fertilization, they don’t even need to leave China.

Why Jack Teixeira’s Pentagon leaks will have British intelligence worried

Security breaches are much easier to comprehend when the perpetrators are obvious villains — Chinese hackers, say, or Kremlin spies. But the most damaging thefts of government secrets over the past two decades have been inside jobs,with the Snowden affair and WikiLeaks case the most renowned.

The latest in a list of security blunders that have plagued the US intelligence establishment are the Pentagon leaks, allegedly conducted by a junior airman of the Massachusetts Air National Guard barely old enough to buy a beer in his own country.


Kash Patel Questions Emerging Narrative on Pentagon Leaks: ‘This Is an Extensive Cover-Up’

Kash Patel, former chief of staff at the Pentagon and former deputy director of National Intelligence, in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News on Friday, questioned the evolving narrative over the Pentagon leaks — specifically that a 21-year-old Massachusetts Air National Guard reservist acted alone to leak top secret military data

Leaked Pentagon docs show the shot-down Chinese spy balloon may have had a feature known as ‘synthetic aperture radar’ that can see through certain materials, WaPo reports

In February, a high-altitude balloon with surveillance capabilities connected to China flew over the continental US before being shot down over the Atlantic.

At the time, much about the balloon wasn’t known publicly, but a new trove of Pentagon documents leaked on Discord show it — and up to four other previously unknown spy balloons like it — could have had a feature known as “synthetic aperture radar” that can see through certain objects, the Washington Post reported.

Jack Teixeira, a 21-year-old US National Guard airman, was arrested Thursday in connection to the leaks.

Darkness of Discord: the social media platform you’ve never heard of

As Jack Teixeira, a 21-year-old IT specialist, was arraigned on espionage charges in Boston on Friday, fresh questions emerged about the biggest intelligence leak to hit the US in a decade.

How was it that a junior IT guy had access to so many top-secret files? Why was it apparently so easy for him to copy and spirit them out of Otis air base in Cape Cod, Massachusetts?

A ‘vasectomy revolution’ threatens to plunge America into a population crisis

When America’s Supreme Court overturned the historic Roe vs Wade ruling that made abortion a federally protected right, it triggered a fierce debate over women’s freedom – and led to a total ban on the procedure in 13 states.

Campaigners on both sides had predicted precisely such an outcome, but there was another unexpected side effect. America is now undergoing what urologist Esgar Guarín, of the SimpleVas clinic in Iowa, dubs a “vasectomy revolution”.

 

I wonder how much the phenomenom of women who no longer value traditional relationships has to do with this.

Then there is the issue of one sided family and divorce law.

Tourist Terror Turns Ten

Under Biden, the Boston Marathon bomber won’t be executed any time soon, if ever.

April 15 will mark ten years since Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev targeted the Boston Marathon with explosive devices that killed Lingzi Lu, 23, Krystle Campbell, 29, and Martin Richard, only eight years old. The powerful pressure-cooker bombs also wounded more than 250 at the crowded annual event.

Taiwan: Baerbock, Macron comments raise questions on EU ties

First, France’s Macron said Europe shouldn’t follow the US on Taiwan. Then, Germany’s top diplomat said France’s China policy reflected the policy of the EU as a whole. How are these comments seen in Taiwan?

France’s Emmanuel Macron has prompted backlash by saying that Europeans should not be “followers” of either US or China when it comes to Taiwan and urging for more EU autonomy in international policy.

His statements came as China was conducting a massive three-day military drill around the self-ruled island, which Beijing sees as a part of its own territory. On Wednesday, Macron said he was standing by his comments and that “being an ally does not mean being a vassal” of the US. At the same time, he emphasized that France supported “the status quo in Taiwan” and was in favor of solving the situation peacefully.

The Sino-Forming of the Global South

Why did Saudi Arabia and Iran go to Beijing to restore diplomatic relations?

Why did Brazil’s President Lula visit Huawei headquarters in Shanghai this week, after declaring that the BRICs (Brazil, Russia, India and China) should launch a global currency to replace the dollar?

Why did French President Emmanuel Macron declare after his meeting with Xi Jinping: “For the French president… it is crucial for the European nations to avoid becoming ‘vassals’ when Europe can be ‘the third pole’ vis-à-vis the United States and China. We do not want to adopt a ‘bloc-to-bloc logic’… and submit to ‘the extraterritoriality of the dollar.’”
