Smartphone Smuggled Out of North Korea Reveals the Insane Things Kim Jong Un Does to Control His ‘Suffocated’ People

A smartphone smuggled out of North Korea has revealed the astonishing levels of control the secretive dictatorship is exercising over its people.

The phone, which from the outside appears no different from a normal device, issued warnings about using South Korean slang words to users, and auto-corrected “South Korea” to read “puppet state,” an investigation from the BBC found.

It would also covertly take a screenshot every five minutes, storing the images in a secret folder which the user couldn’t access, but which presumably were accessible to North Korean authorities.

When the user tried to type in the word “oppa,” which means older brother in Korean, but has come to be used to refer to a boyfriend in South Korean slang, the phone would auto-correct the word to the more communist-friendly alternative, “comrade.”

A warning would then flash up, warning the phone’s user that the term “oppa” could only be used for older siblings, the BBC investigation found. (Read more from “Smartphone Smuggled Out of North Korea Reveals the Insane Things Kim Jong Un Does to Control His ‘Suffocated’ People” HERE)

Ukraine Launches Massive Surprise Attack, Dismantles Russian Nuclear Bomber Fleet: ‘A New Pearl Harbor’

Ukrainian forces stunned the Russian military Sunday after wiping out and damaging dozens of nuclear bombers and other aircraft with ambitious and complicated attacks that struck President Vladimir Putin’s air bases deep inside the country, Kyiv says.

Even pro-Moscow military bloggers are calling the strike — which used drones hidden in trucks — “the Russian Pearl Harbor.”

The attack came just a day before the leaders of Ukraine and Russia were potentially set to meet in Istanbul as part of US-backed cease-fire talks.

The mission carried out by Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) using first-person-view (FPV) drones hit 41 Russian heavy bombers and other warplanes at four separate airfields thousands of miles from Ukraine.

The cost of the destroyed aircraft, most of which Russia no longer even manufactures, is at least $7 billion, Kyiv said. (Read more from “Ukraine Launches Massive Surprise Attack, Dismantles Russian Nuclear Bomber Fleet: ‘A New Pearl Harbor’” HERE)

Top CNN Reporter Exits After Network Lost $5M Defamation Case Against Navy Veteran

A CNN correspondent at the center of a nefarious report that cost the network at least $5 million for defaming a US Navy veteran is leaving the struggling network.

Chief national security correspondent Alex Marquardt landed in hot water earlier this year after a Florida jury ruled that he defamed Zachary Young in 2021 by claiming the former soldier illegally exploited Afghans during the Biden administration’s disastrous withdrawal from the country.

Sources told former CNN media correspondent Oliver Darcy that Marquardt was fired — citing “editorial differences” with his higher-ups at the network.

Marquardt — who worked at CNN for eight years and recently spearheaded its coverage of the Russian-Ukraine war — did not mention the legal debacle or the reason for his exit in announcing the departure Monday.

“Tough to say goodbye but it’s been an honor to work among the very best in the business,” Marquardt wrote in a post on X. (Read more from “Top CNN Reporter Exits After Network Lost $5M Defamation Case Against Navy Veteran” HERE)

Special Forces Officer Blocked 1,585 Afghans From UK

A UK Special Forces officer personally rejected 1,585 resettlement applications from Afghans with credible links to special forces, newly released documents say.

The files, disclosed by the Ministry of Defence in court on Thursday, show the unnamed UKSF officer rejected every application referred to him in the summer of 2023, in what was described as a “sprint”.

The MoD told the court that the officer may have been connected to matters under examination by the ongoing inquiry into alleged war crimes committed by the SAS.

The admission comes after the BBC revealed last week that the UKSF officer – who previously served in Afghanistan – rejected applications from Afghans who may have witnessed the alleged crimes.

Afghan commandos, known as the Triples, supported the SAS and SBS for years in Afghanistan and were in danger of reprisal after the Taliban seized back the country in 2021. (Read more from “Special Forces Officer Blocked 1,585 Afghans From UK” HERE)

Unpopular but True: The Wisdom Young Americans Need to Hear Right Now

Dear class of 2025: You’ve already won. You’re the largest high school graduating class in America’s history. It’s all downhill from here — for America’s population. The number of graduates will decline every year going forward.

But now that you’re emancipated, you’re not going to move downhill. You’re going to move uphill into a life of purpose and significance.

Young adults often ask me, “If you could go back in time, what would you tell your 18-year-old self?” If I could, I would tell myself four words: service, calling, wisdom, and truth.

1. I need to serve

When asked this question — “What is more important for you: achieving at a high level, happiness, or caring for others?” — 80% of young adults said that achievement and happiness are most important.

But what they don’t know (or forget) is that achievement and happiness come through service. The people most likely to succeed in life are those who serve others best. Similarly, the happiest people are those who serve others rather than demand to be served. (Read more from “Unpopular but True: The Wisdom Young Americans Need to Hear Right Now” HERE)

Bill Clinton Balks at Biden Decline — ‘He Was in Good Shape’

On this week’s broadcast of “CBS Sunday Morning,” former President Bill Clinton rejected claims of President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline.

Reporter Tracy Smith asked, “Speaking of aging there is there is this book that came out talking about Joe Biden and the people around him seeing that he had cognitive and physical decline. Did you ever have a moment with him where you thought maybe he was unfit to run for president?”

Clinton said, “No.”

Smith repeated, “No.”

Clinton continued, “I thought he was a good president. The only concern I thought he had to deal with was, could anybody do that job until they were 86? We’d had several long talks. I never have seen him and walked away thinking, he can’t do this anymore. He was always on top of his briefs.”

Northern Lights Will Be Visible Across Most of U.S. Thanks to a ‘Severe’ Geomagnetic Storm

The northern lights are expected to put on a breathtaking show over parts of the U.S. Sunday night due to a powerful geomagnetic storm hitting Earth.

The storm reached “severe” strength early Sunday morning, strong enough to push the glowing aurora borealis further south than usual — possibly lighting up skies from Michigan and Washington State, down to Northern California and even Alabama, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said.

“This is going to be a great night to view the lights where skies are clear,” Shawn Dahl, a coordinator at NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center, told the New York Times.

Clear skies are expected across much of the Pacific Northwest, Northern California, the Midwest, and parts of the Mid-Atlantic and Ohio Valley, making them prime viewing spots.

Star-gazers in the Big Apple, however, shouldn’t count on seeing much due to cloudy skies forcast basically all night. (Read more from “Northern Lights Will Be Visible Across Most of U.S. Thanks to a ‘Severe’ Geomagnetic Storm” HERE)

Former Bush Official Makes Explosive Claim That Sinister “Interdimensional Beings” Control World Affairs Through the Global Elite

A former Bush administration official has made a shocking claim that a mysterious group, she calls Mr Global, is actually pulling the strings in the world.

Catherine Austin Fitts, who served as the US Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development for Housing, appeared on the Danny Jones Podcast this week, saying she believes it is a committee of intelligent beings from other dimensions.

She explained that world leaders ‘are over-influenced by the occult’ and are merely puppets. ‘I think you have interdimensional intelligence, which is operating demonic intelligence,’ Fitts added. . .

Speaking about the secret committee, she referenced the Bible, which she said describes both divine and demonic intelligence, claiming the latter is what we are currently dealing with.

Fitts has long promoted the idea of a ‘Mr Global,’ saying the group aims to enslave people through mind control and manipulate global financial systems.

She believes this is being carried out through the rollout of robotics, artificial intelligence, satellite systems and central bank digital currencies, tools she claims allow for constant surveillance, automation and centralized decision-making.

Chinese ‘Kill Switches’ Found Hidden in U.S. Solar Farms

Chinese “kill switches” that could allow Beijing to cripple power grids and trigger blackouts across the West have been found in equipment at US solar farms.

The rogue devices, including cellular radios, were discovered in Chinese-made power inverters that are used to connect solar panels and wind turbines to electricity grids across the world, including the UK.

The hidden communications equipment could be deployed remotely to switch off inverters with potentially catastrophic results.

The discovery, reported by Reuters, will heighten concerns that China has installed covert malware in critical energy infrastructure throughout the US and Europe. The kill switches could be deployed at any time in the event of a confrontation between China and the West.

Over the past nine months, the suspect devices were found in inverters and batteries from multiple Chinese suppliers by US experts who strip down equipment to check for security issues before they are connected to power grids.

FBI Closing in on Suspects in J6 Pipe Bomb

Revolver was among the first to call out the absurdity of the January 6 pipe bomb narrative, and we didn’t let go. While the legacy media ran cover for the feds, we exposed the inconsistencies, the absurd timeline, the missing surveillance footage, and the cartoonishly convenient location of the discovered” devices.

Revolver:

Just days before the fourth anniversary of the so-called insurrection, the Congressional House Oversight Committee released a major report on the January 6 pipe bomb scandal that resoundingly confirms multiple key aspects of Revolver News’ reporting on this scandal over the past three and a half years. We at Revolver News have faced tremendous difficulty for breaking the pipe bomb story wide open, and, together with our reporting on the Ray Epps breach, which coincided with the suspicious discovery of the pipe bombs, dismantled the entire Fedsurrection narrative.For years, the regime ignored it. Now, thanks to Dan Bongino and Kash Patel, this cover-up is getting dragged back into the spotlight.
Revolver News’ Darren Beattie recently explained some of the implications of this report in an interview that has taken the media by storm (over 6 million views on Twitter and counting).

Watch these two powerful videos:

We were universally reviled in the mainstream media as conspiracy theorists. Google Ads and other programmatic ad services cancelled us; over four different email sending services cancelled us, making it next to impossible to get our reporting out to our mailing list. We’ve received threats, including from Ray Epps himself, who promised to sue (he eventually lost his suit against Fox for having Revolver’s Darren Beattie on to talk about Epps). Perhaps nothing better illustrates the hostility with which Biden’s national security state viewed our reporting on January 6 than the fact that an FBI agent was not only put on leave but had his security clearance revoked simply for sharing our January 6 reporting with colleagues (our understanding is that his clearance and job are now reinstated, thank God).

Of course, the hostility we’ve faced is not because we were peddling a baseless conspiracy theory, but rather because we almost single-handedly destroyed a false narrative about January 6 in which the regime had invested billions of dollars and, arguably, an entire election cycle. Indeed, the false story that January 6 was a deadly terrorist attack and MAGA insurrection served as a key pretext for the national security state to weaponize itself against Trump supporters. We, therefore, welcome such reports as the recent pipe bomb report from Congress’ House Admin Committee—the first full government account of the problems we’ve reported concerning the official pipe bomb story (the Secret Service OIG report touched on this a bit, the DOJ OIG report not at all). Congressman Thomas Massie has done a tremendous job of taking Revolver News’ reporting on the pipe bomb to the next level using his Congressional perch, and we are especially pleased to note Massie’s key role in the creation of the House Admin report on the pipe bomb story.
