China Planted Malware In Networks Supporting US Military Bases Worldwide, Officials Say

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration is hunting for malware believed to originate from Chinese attackers in critical infrastructure systems that support U.S. military bases worldwide, The New York Times reported Saturday, citing unspecified military, intelligence and national security officials.

U.S. officials and industry experts believe the malware discovered by Microsoft in U.S. networks affecting Guam and other strategic sites may be just one example in a larger Chinese operation to plant malicious code dating back at least a year, the NYT reported. One congressional official described the malware as a “ticking time bomb” Beijing could activate in the event of a conflict with the U.S. or an invasion of Taiwan, which could disrupt U.S. military operations and cripple its response.

China’s efforts to infect important networks are far more extensive than the experts realized at first, the NYT reported. Most experts spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters, some of which are classified.

The affected networks control power grids, water supply and communications systems that support U.S. military operations but are connected to civilian systems, according to the NYT. (Read more from “China Planted Malware In Networks Supporting US Military Bases Worldwide, Officials Say” HERE)

RFK Jr. Says Biden Admin Denied Him Secret Service Protection

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democrat presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Friday the Biden administration has denied him Secret Service protection. . .

Kennedy then quotes the denial from Biden appointee Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas:

Secretary Mayorkas: “I have determined that Secret Service protection for Robert F Kennedy Jr is not warranted at this time.” Our campaign’s request included a 67-page report from the world’s leading protection firm, detailing unique and well established security and safety risks aside from commonplace death threats.

The Biden administration is beyond ruthless. On the one hand, they are in the process of imprisoning His Fraudulency’s top Republican challenger, former president Trump. On the other, they are trying to get His Fraudulency’s top Democrat challenger killed. (Read more from “RFK Jr. Says Biden Admin Denied Him Secret Service Protection” HERE)

U.S. Chip Makers Quietly Lobbying Biden Admin Against Imposing More Restrictions on Exports to China

/0 Comments/in , /by

Three top U.S. semiconductor manufacturers are quietly meeting with Biden administration officials Monday to discuss new export restrictions that are being considered related to the ongoing competition between the U.S. and China, according to Reuters.

Intel, Qualcomm and Nvidia are meeting with several Biden administration officials including Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, National Economic Council Director Lael Brainard and National Security Council Director Jake Sullivan, according to Reuters. The Biden administration is considering updating rules put in place in October that aim to restrict China’s chip industry by limiting U.S. companies’ cooperation with Chinese chip manufacturers.

“We urge the administration to refrain from further restrictions until it engages more extensively with industry and experts to assess the impact of current and potential restrictions to determine whether they are narrow and clearly defined, consistently applied, and fully coordinated with allies,” The Semiconductor Industry Association, a lobbying group for the industry, said in a press release Monday.

Ex-Biden ‘Non-Binary’ Nuclear Official Stole Luggage During Taxpayer-Funded Trip: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former “non-binary” Biden Energy Department official Sam Brinton rolled off with a woman’s suitcase from Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas last year while on a taxpayer-funded trip, according to a federal watchdog group.

Brinton, who President Joe Biden tapped to serve as the deputy assistant secretary of the Office of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the U.S. Department of Energy, was fired six months later amid allegations of stealing luggage and women’s clothing from at least three different airports.

But during one of Brinton’s luggage heists, the federal watchdog Functional Government Initiative (FGI) report provided to The New York Post found that he was in Vegas on business representing the Energy Department when airport surveillance captured images of him swiping a woman’s suitcase.

“Not only did Sam Brinton commit a crime, the illegal shopping spree was funded by taxpayers,” Pete McGinnis, FGI’s director of communications, told The Post. “The pattern of petty theft shows that Brinton never should’ve been hired and given a security clearance in the first place.

RETALIATION: ‘Missing’ Biden Corruption Witness Hit With Federal Charges

/0 Comments/in , /by

Dr. Gal Luft, a key figure in House Republicans’ investigation of the Biden family’s international influence-peddling, faces federal charges of arms trafficking, operating as an unregistered lobbyist for China, and conspiring to flout US sanctions on Iran, according to a Manhattan indictment unsealed Monday.

Prosecutors in the Southern District of New York say Luft, 57, a dual US-Israeli citizen who was arrested in Cyprus this past February and went on the run after being released on bail prior to his extradition, agreed in 2015 to let former Hong Kong official Patrick Ho send $350,000 each year to Luft’s think tank, the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security.

In return, the indictment said, Luft agreed to “recruit and ‘educate’ a former high-ranking US official to “make public statements … which were in the interest of China.”

In return, the indictment said, Luft agreed to “recruit and ‘educate’ a former high-ranking US official to “make public statements … which were in the interest of China.”

The official is not named in the indictment, but details about his work correspond to former CIA Director James Woolsey, who briefly worked for former President Donald Trump’s transition team after the 2016 election.

Cracking Coalition? UK and Spain Call on Biden to Not Send Cluster Bombs to Ukraine; Biden Defends Decision to Give Cluster Bombs Amid Congressional Pushback

/2 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. The United Kingdom and the Kingdom of Spain have called upon U.S. President Joe Biden to not send cluster bombs to Ukraine amid concerns over the danger they pose to civilian populations.

As Ukraine marked over 500 days since the invasion by Russian forces, significant challenges have been levied against the war strategy of the Biden administration from its NATO allies in Europe, with both the British and Spanish governments urging Washington to back down from its pledge to send cluster bombs into the conflict.

Both the UK and Spain are signatories of the International Convention on Cluster Munitions, which prohibits the use, manufacturing, stockpiling or transfer of the weapon type, however, key holdouts of the treaty are the United States, Ukraine and Russia. Cluster munitions, which are banned by over 100 countries, are a type of rocket, bomb, missile and other projectiles that explode mid-air to rain down on a large area. They have a high risk of failure, which could lead to them landing on ground, only to explode at a later time.

President Joe Biden, 80, justified his “very difficult” decision to send the deadly weapons to Ukraine as the country is “running out of ammunition” and the United States is running low on the 155-millimeter artillery shells to resupply the Ukrainian forces. Therefore, Biden said, the U.S. would provide cluster munitions for a “transition period”, while claiming that they will not be used in civilian areas but merely to break through the entrenched positions of the Russian forces.

Biden Defends Decision to Give Ukraine Cluster Bombs Amid Congressional Pushback

By NBC News. President Joe Biden defended what he called his “very difficult decision” to provide cluster munitions to Ukraine in an interview that aired Sunday, saying the war-torn country “needed” the controversial weapons to fight off invading Russian troops.

“It took me a while to be convinced to do it. But the main thing is, they either have the weapons to stop the Russians now from their — keep them from stopping the Ukrainian offensive through these areas — or they don’t. And I think they needed them,” Biden said in an interview on CNN’s “Fareed Zakaria GPS.”

The administration’s announcement Friday that it would be sending cluster munitions to Ukraine in a U.S. military aid package was met with pushback from some of Biden’s fellow Democrats, who noted the surface-to-surface warheads, which disperse small munitions or bombs over wide areas, can explode after battle and sometimes injure or kill innocent people.

The weapons have been banned in more than 100 countries, and the White House suggested last year that Russia’s use of the weapons in Ukraine was a potential war crime.

Biden said the move was necessary now because the Ukrainian military is low on ammunition, emphasizing that it’s a temporary measure. (Read more from “Biden Defends Decision to Give Ukraine Cluster Bombs Amid Congressional Pushback” HERE)

Biden Admin Appeals Injunction Preventing It From Coordinating With Social Media to Suppress Speech

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden administration appealed a preliminary injunction Wednesday issued to prevent federal officials from communicating with social media platforms to censor content containing protected speech.

Western District of Louisiana Judge Terry A. Doughty issued the injunction Tuesday after finding plaintiffs in the free speech lawsuit Missouri v. Biden, Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry and Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, had produced “evidence of a massive effort by Defendants, from the White House to federal agencies, to suppress speech based on its content.” The Biden administration appealed the injunction to the Fifth Circuit on Wednesday.

The injunction prevented federal officials, including those in the Department of Health and Human Services and the FBI, from communicating with social media platforms for “the purpose of urging, encouraging, pressuring, or inducing in any manner the removal, deletion, suppression, or reduction of content containing protected free speech.”

Trump-Appointed Judge Restricts Biden Officials From Colluding With Big Tech in Bombshell Ruling After COVID Censorship

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal judge has blocked Biden administration officials from contacting social media companies in a landmark order targeting government censorship and suppression of online postings.

US District Court Judge Terry Doughty, a Trump appointee, determined Tuesday that the White House likely colluded with Big Tech to censor protected speech during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“During … a period perhaps best characterized by widespread doubt and uncertainty, the United States Government seems to have assumed a role similar to an Orwellian ‘Ministry of Truth,’” Doughty wrote in his 155-page order.

The judge concluded that the plaintiffs, led by the states of Missouri and Louisiana, were likely to succeed and issued a preliminary injunction limiting dozens of Biden administration officials from attempting to coordinate with social media giants to remove content.

Officials subject to the injunction include White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, employees of the Justice Department and FBI, Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy.

War on Christianity: Biden Admin Used Pride Month to Plaster Christian Countries With Pride Flags, but Not Muslim Ones

/0 Comments/in , /by

During pride month, the Biden Administration took the opportunity to place pride flags at several embassies in overwhelmingly Christian countries, but not in Muslim majority states.

A list compiled by the Daily Caller revealed a Biden Administration trend to place pride flags at U.S. embassies in numerous Christian-majority states, including explicitly Christian countries like Vatican City. Biden’s diplomats and officials have made it a mission to spread pro-LGBTQ ideology in western countries from Hungary, to Greece, to the United Kingdom, to Haiti, and even to Japan.

David Pressman, the United States ambassador to Hungary, in a speech this June criticized Hungary for its anti-LGBTQ policies, rhetoric, and “hate.” The Hungarian parliament has taken several steps over the past five years to define itself and its policies as Christian, which includes a legal definition of traditional family. President Joe Biden has attempted to isolate the country as a result of Hungary’s hostilities to liberalization, which includes LGBTQ activism.

However, the administration’s push for an LGBTQ agenda is heavily concentrated in western, developed countries. It conveniently leaves out places where Muslims, not Christians, are in the majority.

In majority Muslim nations in the Middle East, such as Saudi Arabia, the pride flag is rarely seen at U.S. embassies. One exception in the region, however, is the state of Israel, which is majority Jewish.

White House Accused of Deleting Heated Exchange Between Karine Jean-Pierre and Reporter

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Biden White House tried to pull a fast one over on Americans by deleting a heated exchange between White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre and a reporter from its official live stream.

Today News Africa correspondent Simon Ateba accused the White House of removing his tense conversation with Jean-Pierre, saying the Biden Administration has discriminated against him.

“The White House, under this administration, we’re committed to the freedom of the press. I want to be very clear about that,” Jean-Pierre declared.

“So are you going to take questions from me?… because you’ve been discriminating against me for the past nine months,” Ateba asked.

The back and forth continued when Jean-Pierre finally threatened the reporter that she would end the press briefing, calling Ateba “incredibly rude.”
