Chinese Hackers Breached Afghan Telecom Company As US Withdrew

Breach could give China access to ‘hugely valuable’ user information

Chinese hackers breached a major Afghan telecommunications company as the United States withdrew from Afghanistan, an early sign of Beijing’s attempt to gain a foothold in the country.

At least two China-backed hackers breached Afghan telecommunications giant Roshan earlier this year, according to a report from the Insikt Group, a cybersecurity research firm. Hacking groups ramped up their efforts in August and September, as U.S. troops began leaving the country. The breach could give China access to “hugely valuable” information about the network itself and high-value individuals who use it, the researchers said.

‘It Looks Like The Third World’: New York City Drug Stores Ravaged By Shop Lifters

Thanks to a citywide shoplifting tsunami, bare necessities are now rare luxuries on drug-store shelves across New York City.

“It looks like the Third World,” bemoaned one Manhattan resident, after eyeing the aisles of a CVS on Sixth Avenue in Soho desperately low of toothpaste, face wash and hand sanitizer, among a long list of other items.

“They’ve all been stolen,” a CVS employee told The Post.

US navy engineer charged with trying to sell nuclear submarine secrets

A US navy nuclear engineer with access to military secrets has been charged with trying to pass information about the design of American nuclear-powered submarines to someone he thought was a representative of a foreign government – but who turned out to be an undercover FBI agent.

In a criminal complaint detailing espionage-related charges against Jonathan Toebbe, the US Department of Justice said he sold information for nearly the past year to a contact he believed represented a foreign power. That country was not named in the court documents.

Royals close door on Andrew as Scotland Yard quiz Virginia Giuffre over claims he raped and sexually assaulted her when she was 17

Andrew, who is not facing any criminal charges, ‘categorically’ denies Ms Giuffre’s claims against him and is thought to be keen to make a return as a working royal.

However, according to sources close to him, Prince William sees his uncle as a threat to the Royal Family and doesn’t intend to let him return to public life.

The 39-year-old, who is second in line to the throne, is said to have been involved in crisis talks with his grandmother and father – The Queen and Prince Charles – over the decision to suspend Andrew from public duty.

It was also reported that Andrew’s siblings – Charles, Anne and Edward – also ruled out his return to public duty at a meeting in January.

Survey indicates pollsters & media willing to demonize unvaccinated

An in-depth and exclusive survey conducted by this blogger of this blogger revealed a shocking result, media and pollsters are willing to do the Trudeau regime’s bidding.

Most Canadians support health-care workers refusing treatment to threatening, disrespectful unvaccinated patients: Nanos survey

TORONTO — Nearly two-thirds of Canadians say they support health-care workers refusing treatment to threatening or disrespectful patients who are unvaccinated against COVID-19, according to a new survey from Nanos Research.

The poll, conducted by Nanos Research and sponsored by CTV News, found that 40 per cent of Canadians support and 24 per cent somewhat support health-care workers refusing treatment to these patients.

Just how many health care workers have been attacked? A few I’ll wager but not enough to warrant this silly “survey”.

Border left ‘wide open’ after red states pull National Guard and police

MCALLEN, Texas — The swarm of National Guard soldiers and state police that governors sent to guard the Texas-Mexico border earlier this summer are gone, leaving the border effectively unmanned with just 6% of the reinforcements left behind.

“We used to have a National Guard posted there,” Border Patrol agent Chris Cabrera told the Washington Examiner while driving along a dirt road that runs parallel with the border near the Hidalgo port of entry late one evening recently. “There was another one right over here, but they took that guy, too.”

FUREY: Was anyone really asking for public health to tell them how to celebrate the holidays?!

It’s quite something that New Brunswick has attempted to flat-out ban Thanksgiving gatherings this year and in Alberta their policy is that you can’t invite the non-vaccinated over. Thankfully the tone is milder here in Ontario, but that hasn’t stopped officials from still trying to inject their wisdom into family celebrations.

‘Woke’ psychiatrists have lost sight of the biological causes of mental illness

“… Yet, too many of my peers want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. To be “woke” today is to acknowledge the factors that intersect with mental illness, but to ignore the illness itself. It is almost taboo to suggest that social inequities are not the sole cause for the development of mental illness. That angers me because this isn’t a matter of opinion.

It’s suppressing a hard truth.”

Tories Face New Rivals, Liberal Fortunes Could Shift Amid Changing Times Post-Election

The Conservative Party’s infighting and ascendent rivals in the People’s Party and Maverick Party could be seen as a repeat of the 1990s when the Liberals ruled Canada over a divided political right. But some political scientists say there are additional factors that over time will influence the outcome this time around.

I don’t see the CPC abandoning its leftward course and they really should consider dropping conservative from the party name. The PPC is not a rival to the CPC, the LPC is.

Prime Minister Grave Markers To Be Reworded With Atrocity Apologies Open To Highest Bidder

Federal officials rethink wording of markers at gravesites of past prime ministers

OTTAWA — It was in late January that vandals so badly scratched out the face of Mackenzie King on an awareness panel by the former prime minister’s final resting place in Toronto that a federal agency decided the panel had to be replaced.

For more than two decades, the commemorative panel didn’t receive a revamp, just like others at prime ministerial gravesites overseen by federal officials.

Those officials, however, are rethinking what the panels should say and reflect how the country views its past, specifically in light of historical mistreatment of Indigenous Peoples.

Father Of Islamic Nuclear Bomb: Abdul Qadeer Khan Greatest Nuclear Proliferator Of All Time Dies

Abdul Qadeer Khan: ‘Father of Pakistan’s nuclear bomb’ dies

… Coming shortly after similar tests by India, Dr Khan’s work helped seal Pakistan’s place as the world’s seventh nuclear power and sparked national jubilation.

But he was arrested in 2004 for illegally sharing nuclear technology with Iran, Libya and North Korea.

The revelations that he had passed on nuclear secrets to other countries shocked Pakistan.

In a televised address, Dr Khan offered his “deepest regrets and unqualified apologies”.

Dr Khan was pardoned by Pakistan’s then-president, Pervez Musharraf, but he was held under house arrest until 2009.

The leniency of his treatment angered many in the West, where he has been dubbed “the greatest nuclear proliferator of all time”.
