Chinese-Born Engineer Arrested for Theft Involving Missile Sensor Technology

FBI agents in California arrested a suspected technology spy for China this week, charging him with stealing some 3,600 files from a defense contractor that includes sensitive information on advanced sensors used to detect missile launches.

Gong Chenguang, 57, of San Jose, was charged by federal prosecutors in Los Angeles with being part of China’s “talents” program, a systematic Beijing effort to obtain U.S. technology by recruiting American-based scientists and technical experts with access to advanced know-how.

An FBI affidavit used to seek an arrest warrant identifies Mr. Gong as a naturalized citizen employed by a Malibu defense contractor in January 2023.

The technology involved is worth “hundreds of millions of dollars” and, if provided to a foreign government, would “compromise U.S. national security,” the affidavit states. A spokeswoman identified the company as HRL Laboratories.

According to the affidavit, the company “develops sophisticated infrared sensor technology intended for use in various space-based and military missions, including in systems designed to detect nuclear missile launches and track ballistic and hypersonic missiles.” (Read more from “Chinese-Born Engineer Arrested for Theft Involving Missile Sensor Technology” HERE)

FBI Director Chris Wray Reveals China’s Massive Cyber Threat to U.S. Infrastructure

In a dire warning to lawmakers, FBI Director Christopher Wray disclosed the alarming scale of China’s hacking program, cautioning that the communist nation is gearing up to unleash significant cyberattacks on critical infrastructure in the United States. Speaking before the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party in a hearing titled “The Chinese Communist Party Cyber Threat to the American Homeland and National Security,” Wray highlighted the urgent need for public attention to the escalating cyber threat posed by China.

Wray emphasized that the People’s Republic of China (PRC) has been targeting vital elements of American infrastructure, including water treatment plants, the electrical grid, oil and natural gas pipelines, and transportation systems. He stressed that the risk posed by these cyberattacks demands immediate attention, as China’s hackers strategically position themselves to potentially cause real-world harm to American citizens and communities.

China’s hacking program was described by Wray as surpassing the combined efforts of all other major nations, highlighting the sheer magnitude of the cyber threat. He stated, “If each one of the FBI’s cyber agents and intelligence analysts focused exclusively on the China threat, China’s hackers would still outnumber FBI cyber personnel by at least 50 to 1.”

Wray directly implicated the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in orchestrating a multifaceted assault on the national and economic security of the United States. He underscored the CCP’s relentless cyber onslaught, extending beyond mere pre-positioning for future conflicts. Wray pointed out that China actively engages in wholesale theft of American innovation and personal and corporate data on a daily basis.

The FBI director warned that China’s cyber threat is exacerbated by integrating cyber activities into a comprehensive, whole-of-government campaign against the U.S. He revealed China’s recruitment of human sources to target American businesses, using insiders to steal innovation and data while simultaneously participating in corporate deception to conceal Beijing’s involvement in various transactions, joint ventures, and investments.

Wray highlighted the CCP’s disturbing actions to undermine the freedoms of U.S. citizens by employing campaigns aimed at silencing, coercing, and threatening residents. To counter China’s relentless cyber attacks, the FBI has deployed experts specializing in cyber, counterintelligence, criminal, and weapons of mass destruction.

As lawmakers discuss budgets that will determine available resources in the future, Wray stressed the importance of preparing for the challenges that lie ahead, particularly in 2027—a year marked by the CCP as significant.

Former FBI Officials Sound Alarm Over Biden’s Border Crisis: “The Country Has Been Invaded”

A group of ten retired FBI directors and counter-intelligence experts has issued a warning to Congress, asserting that the ongoing border crisis under President Joe Biden poses a “new and imminent danger” to the United States. In a letter addressed to congressional leaders, the former FBI officials expressed deep concern about the current threat, emphasizing its severity and characterizing it as one of the most pernicious challenges ever faced by the nation.

The letter begins with a sobering statement, “As former senior executives of the Federal Bureau of Investigation with deep experience combating dangers to the nation, we write to express our concern about a current, specific threat that may be one of the most pernicious ever to menace the United States.”

The former FBI officials emphasized that the U.S. is currently experiencing an invasion of military-aged men from various parts of the world. These individuals are entering the country by foot, exploiting what has been portrayed globally as a largely unprotected border, according to the letter.

The letter notes a shocking estimate of ‘gotaways’ – individuals who have entered the U.S. without detection, contributing to the overall security concerns. Since President Biden assumed office, there have been over 1.7 million known gotaways, with an additional unknown number of undocumented immigrants slipping into the country unnoticed.

The experts believe the surge of individuals is not accidental and may be part of an accelerated and strategic penetration – a soft invasion designed to gain internal access to the country. They speculate that these individuals could potentially be operators aiming to inflict catastrophic damage if and when deemed necessary by enemies of the United States.

Of significant concern is the revelation that a “startling number” of illegal aliens are on the terrorist watchlist or hail from countries designated as State Sponsors of Terrorism. These individuals are not only from terror-linked regions but also from countries like China and Russia.

The retired FBI officials call for coordinated efforts from the FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and the Intelligence Community to secure the borders, identify those already in the country illegally, and remove them promptly. They emphasize that until this invasion is halted, the United States remains extraordinarily less safe and secure. The officials underline that it would be a “shameful travesty” if a preventable attack were to occur, asserting that the government would have failed grievously in such a scenario.

Report: FBI Agent ‘Scrubbed and Diluted’ Political Bias in Investigations

An FBI official who was integral to what appears to have been a plan to protect Hunter Biden from investigation or prosecution is accused of having “scrubbed and diluted” political bias in his work.

A new report from Fox News also reveals that the same official violated the federal Hatch Act in political posts on social media.

The report said this was the same official who earlier was accused by whistleblowers of showing a “pattern of active public partisanship,” which probably affected investigations into President Donald Trump and Hunter Biden.

It was Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, who referred Timothy Thibault for investigation. . .

The investigation was sought after whistleblowers contacted Grassley charging Thibault with being instrumental in opening an investigation into the Trump campaign, which came about partly because of information sourced from a “left-aligned” group, the report said.

DEI Hires Pushed Onto the FBI Are Putting the Country’s Safety at Risk for the Sake of Being ‘Woke’

An alarming deterioration in recruitment standards for the FBI has been exposed in a report delivered to the House Judiciary Committee by an alliance of retired and active-duty agents and analysts.

Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) requirements pushed by FBI Director Chris Wray have degraded recruitment standards in all areas including “physical fitness, illicit drug use, financial irregularities, mental health, full-time work experience and integrity,” and pose a threat to the FBI’s ability to protect America from harm, say the authors.

The report cites cases of new agents who are so fat and unfit, they can’t even pass the new relaxed standards for fitness; who are illiterate and need remedial English lessons; who don’t want to work weekends or after hours; have serious disabilities or mental-health issues, and “create drama.”

The FBI is no longer recruiting the “best and brightest” to be special agents, but selecting candidates based on “race, gender and/or sexual orientation.”

The alliance of anonymous FBI reformers includes senior former executives and agents from the counterintelligence and counterterrorism branches who warn that today’s FBI “lacks the fortitude and skills warranted to defeat [existential] threats . . .

FBI Arrests Radical Transgender Person Suspect over Threats to ‘Kill Transphobes’

The FBI has arrested a trans person for allegedly posting social media threats against “transphobes” and other people who oppose the transgender agenda.

FBI agents arrested male-born transgender person, Elizabeth Ballesteros West, in Oregon last week after reports of online threats that included photos of guns, according to Newsweek.

According to the Gazette, West’s bio on social media read that he is a “A Nazi dominatrix from Hell, who is tired of the blackening of America and Europe and ready to stand up to the Black orcs and the Jewish Wizard.”

Some of the threats were posted to a Facebook group called the “Trans Woman Support Group,” one post of which featured an image of several guns and a complaint that West was being misgendered by “trans phobic” detractors.

The 56-year-old West, who reportedly has a history of bipolar disorder, allegedly admitted to being “at the end of my rope” and may be fired from his job due to his frustration over those who oppose the trans agenda, the Oregonian reported.

Prosecutors: FBI Found Cocaine Residue on Hunter Biden’s Firearm Pouch

FBI investigators discovered powered cocaine on the firearm pouch Hunter Biden had used to hold the gun he allegedly purchased in October 2018, Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutors said in a Tuesday court filing.

Special counsel David Weiss’ team filed a response motion to Hunter Biden’s selective prosecution claim and described how FBI investigators retrieved the alleged firearm in 2023 and found the alleged cocaine.

“In 2023, FBI investigators pulled sealed evidence from the state police vault to take photographs of the defendant’s firearm. After opening the evidence, FBI investigators observed a white powdery substance on the defendant’s brown leather pouch that had held the defendant’s firearm in October 2018,” the motion reads.

“Based on their training and experience, investigators believed that this substance was likely cocaine and that this evidence would corroborate the messages that investigators had obtained which showed the defendant buying and using drugs in October 2018. An FBI chemist subsequently analyzed the residue and determined that it was cocaine. To be clear, investigators literally found drugs on the pouch where the defendant had kept his gun,” the filing adds.

Hunter Biden battled an addiction to crack cocaine that formed the basis of his 2021 memoir, “Beautiful Things,” and he has accused his political opponents of weaponizing his addiction against him. (Read more from “Prosecutors: FBI Found Cocaine Residue on Hunter Biden’s Firearm Pouch” HERE)

Report: Prosecutor on Jack Smith’s Team Discouraged FBI From Looking Into Clinton Foundation in 2016

A top prosecutor now on Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team discouraged the FBI from pursuing an investigation into the Clinton Foundation in 2016 due to what he believed was “negligible evidence” despite the existence of “multiple” Suspicious Activity Reports related to “hundreds of thousands of dollars in foreign transactions,” according to a report.

Fox News Digital first reported on Friday that Ray Hulser, who was the former chief of the Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section but now serves on Smith’s team prosecuting former President Donald Trump, was the official who “declined prosecution” of the Clinton Foundation in 2016, according to Special Counsel John Durham’s report, which came out in May 2023.

The Durham report said that in January 2016, three different FBI field offices had opened investigations into “possible criminal activity involving the Clinton Foundation.” The three offices were the New York Field Office (NYFO), the Little Rock Field Office (LRFO), and the Washington Field Office (WFO).

The report said the LRFO case opening communication referred to an “intelligence product and corroborating financial reporting that a particular commercial ‘industry likely engaged a federal public official in a flow of benefits scheme, namely, large monetary contributions were made to a non-profit, under both direct and indirect control of the federal public official, in exchange for favorable government action and/or influence.’”

The report said the WFO investigation was opened as a preliminary investigation, because the Case Agent wanted to determine if he could develop additional information to corroborate allegations in the book Clinton Cash by Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer.

FBI Gets Scorched for Its Flaming ‘Happy Holidays’ Greeting

The FBI of the days when it pursued and captured criminals and protected American citizens apparently is gone. . .

So when it released an innocuous holiday greeting just days ago, Americans were primed to respond:

Revolver News compiled a list of those comments, including:

“Is that Epsteins hard drives in that fire?”

“Are you guys burning evidence that could convict Hunter Biden in that fire?”

“🎼Inconvenient citizens roasting on an open fire…

“What about a Merry Christmas? Do any of you godless feds wish anyone a Merry Christmas?”

“You being unemployed or in prison is the holiday gift America needs.”

“Even their fire leans left.”

“In case you haven’t noticed, Americans have lost all respect for you. You have no one to blame but yourselves.”

“How fitting! A Dumpster Fire”

“Reading the comments kinda tells you that the citizens have lost all faith in your institution. ”

Revolver’s report explained, “Are you old enough to remember when the FBI was seen as a somewhat reputable law enforcement agency, focused on capturing legitimate criminals? Many of us recall a time when the bureau wasn’t a weaponized arm of the radical left-wing agenda. (Read more from “FBI Gets Scorched for Its Flaming ‘Happy Holidays’ Greeting” HERE)

Catholic Leaders Condemn FBI’s “Illegitimate Targeting of Catholics” as Potential Domestic Terrorists

Catholic leaders slammed the Federal Bureau of Investigation on Tuesday after the House Judiciary Committee discovered federal agents interviewed a priest and a choir director as part of an investigation into so-called Radical-Traditional Catholics as potential domestic terrorists.

“The latest revelations only raise more questions about the illegitimate targeting of Catholics by the FBI,” CatholicVote President Brian Burch told The Daily Wire in an emailed statement. “We now know that the FBI effort involved at least four field offices, authorized the use of undercover agents to infiltrate Catholic parishes, and used a Catholic priest and a choir director to inform on one of their parishioners.”

The House Judiciary Committee and the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government launched an investigation into the FBI earlier this year after former agent-turned-whistleblower Kyle Seraphin leaked an internal memo from the bureau’s Richmond Field Office, which painted certain “radical-traditionalist Catholics” as violent extremists and proposed opportunities for the FBI to infiltrate Catholic churches as a form of “threat mitigation.”

“Despite every effort to downplay the significance of this abuse of power, the FBI still owes Catholics and all concerned Americans answers as to who was behind the effort to spy on Catholics, how far and wide this effort went inside the FBI, whether it is ongoing, and whether anyone has been held accountable,” Burch added.
