To save America, we have to be actively fighting CCP (Chinese Communist Party) or we will need to fight for our survival and freedom forever, Trevor Loudon said in a recent interview.
“China – Communist Slave State”
Hostage Diplomacy Works: China welcomes Meng Wanzhou’s return, but silent on ‘Two Michaels’ released
Chinese state media welcomed telecoms giant Huawei’s chief financial officer, Meng Wanzhou, back to the “motherland” on Saturday, after more than 1,000 days under house arrest in Canada, on what they called unfounded charges of bank fraud.
But they have kept silent about Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, the two Canadians released from Chinese custody in an apparent act of reciprocation by Beijing.
It’s a victory for China and Canada’s China class, just like the election was won by the LPC thanks to the CCP’s backing of Trudeau. China does not care about western public opinion.
Shorter Kerry: What’s the big deal about genocide when climate change is the issue!
John Kerry Draws Criticism for Brushing Off Question on CCP’s Crimes Against Uyghurs
U.S. climate envoy John Kerry appeared to be indifferent to the plight of Uyghurs in China when he said “life is always full of tough choices” in a recent interview with Bloomberg.
Kerry was asked, “Clearly a priority of the Biden administration is really addressing climate, but it’s not the only priority. There are other things as well, such as the Uyghur situation in the West. What is the process by which one trades off climate against human rights?”
In response, Kerry said: “Life is always full of tough choices in the relationship between nations.”
China has released detained Canadians Kovrig, Spavor: PM
OTTAWA / TORONTO — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says China has released detained Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor.
The two Canadians have been in Chinese custody for 1,019 days on espionage charges that were largely viewed as a retaliatory response to Canada’s arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou on a U.S. warrant related to the company’s business dealings in Iran. However, China’s has consistently denied that the cases were in any way connected.
Frankly I am surprised.
China’s top regulators ban crypto trading and mining, bitcoin tumbles
… The move comes amid a global cryptocurrency crackdown as governments from Asia to the United States fret that privately operated highly volatile digital currencies could undermine their control of the financial and monetary systems, increase systemic risk, promote financial crime and hurt investors.
They also worry that “mining,” the energy-intensive process through which bitcoin and other tokens are created by high performing computers, is undermining global environmental goals.
Chinese government agencies have repeatedly raised concerns that cryptocurrency speculation could disrupt the country’s economic and financial order, one of Beijing’s top priorities.
Experts say China’s low-level cyberwar is becoming severe threat
Chinese state-sponsored hacking is at record levels, western experts say, accusing Beijing of engaging in a form of low-level warfare that is escalating despite US, British and other political efforts to bring it to a halt.
There are accusations too that the clandestine activity, which has a focus on stealing intellectual property, has become more overt and more reckless, although Beijing consistently denies sponsoring hacking and accuses critics of hypocrisy.
Jamie Collier, a consultant with Mandiant, a cybersecurity firm whose work is often cited by intelligence agencies, said the level of hacking emerging from China in 2021 was “a more kind of severe threat than we previously anticipated”.
Hackers breached computer network at key US port but did not disrupt operations
Suspected foreign government-backed hackers last month breached a computer network at one of the largest ports on the US Gulf Coast, but early detection of the incident meant the intruders weren’t in a position to disrupt shipping operations, according to a Coast Guard analysis of the incident obtained by CNN and a public statement from a senior US cybersecurity official.
The incident at the Port of Houston is an example of the interest that foreign spies have in surveilling key US maritime ports, and it comes as US officials are trying to fortify critical infrastructure from such intrusions.
Britain offers Canadian military help to defend the Arctic
Britain is signalling its interest in working with the Canadian military in the Arctic by offering to take part in cold-weather exercises and bring in some of its more advanced capabilities — such as nuclear-powered submarines — to help with surveillance and defence in the Far North.
In a recent exclusive interview with CBC News, the United Kingdom’s top military commander said his country is “keen to cooperate” and learn more about how to survive and fight in a cold, remote setting.
Gen. Sir Nick Carter said Britain would also like to “cooperate in terms of helping Canada do what Canada needs to do as an Arctic country.”
Two Michael’s release not included as part of Meng Wanzhou Deal
Meng Wanzhou, the chief financial officer of Huawei Technologies, is expected to appear virtually in federal court in New York City Friday to resolve U.S. bank fraud charges against her, according to a source.
The source said the plea agreement does not include Canadians Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig, who have been imprisoned in China on charges of espionage since December 2018. It remains unclear if there is a side agreement with China that would free the two men who were arrested after Ms. Meng was detained at Vancouver International Airport on a U.S. extradition request.
AUKUS, no release for the Michaels, extended covid land border closures, threatened oil pipeline closures… I don’t think Biden like’s Blackie much.
Huawei’s Meng Wanzhou likely off hook
Huawei CFO Meng expected to resolve U.S. charges in Brooklyn federal court – source
WASHINGTON, Sept 24 (Reuters) – Huawei Technologies (HWT.UL) Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou is expected to appear virtually in federal court to resolve U.S. charges against her, according to a source familiar with the situation.
Resolving the case would remove one of several major disputes between the world’s two biggest economies.
Meng was arrested at Vancouver International Airport in December 2018 on a U.S. warrant that charged her with fraud for allegedly misleading HSBC (HSBA.L) about Huawei’s business dealings in Iran.
REVEALED: Google & USAID Funded Wuhan Collaborator Peter Daszak’s Virus Experiments For Over A Decade.
The unearthed financial ties between EcoHealth Alliance and Google follow months of big tech censorship of stories and individuals in support of the COVID-19 “lab leak” theory.
Andrew Richter: Under the Liberals, Canada has effectively disappeared as an international actor
Last week, the United States, United Kingdom and Australia announced a new defence and security partnership, dubbed AUKUS, which is intended to present a unified front toward an increasingly aggressive China, and demonstrate to other countries that the U.S. intends to remain engaged in the Asia-Pacific region for decades to come. Not only was Canada not included in the agreement, but the federal government seemed to be completely blind-sided by the announcement — a reflection of our diminished stature on the world stage.
Conservative vote plunged in Canada’s most Chinese electorates. Did party pay price for tough stance on Beijing?
Almost as soon as he entered Canada’s parliament in 2019, Conservative Kenny Chiu became a prominent advocate for what he called Hong Kong’s “political freedom”, and a tough critic of Beijing.
Weeks after being comfortably elected in Steveston-Richmond East, one of Canada’s most ethnically Chinese electorates, Chiu was back in his birthplace of Hong Kong as an international monitor for the city’s district council elections.
Pentagon Reliance on Chinese Pharmaceuticals Creates National Security Risk
The Defense Department’s reliance on Chinese supply chains for pharmaceuticals poses a severe national security risk, a Pentagon inspector general’s report warns.
The U.S. military’s ability to treat soldiers and personnel worldwide relies on products made and shipped in foreign countries. The Pentagon does not produce its own pharmaceuticals, so it relies on the American commercial sector to procure vital medicines for the armed forces. As the commercial sector increases its reliance on foreign countries the department follows suit, the report, which was released Wednesday, found.
Can Xi Jinping Defeat Biden-led America?
Look at it from Xi Jinping’s perspective. The PRC’s leader-for-life learned nothing from Joe Biden’s abject surrender in Afghanistan but confirmed everything that he knows about our 46th president. Xi’s knowledge of Biden is bound to lead him to conclude — if he hasn’t already — that his window for conquest is during Biden’s tenure. Weakness — in Biden’s case, evident gross weakness — invites predation. It’s a law of nature and human affairs.
The Boys Who Cried Wolf
Throughout 2020, the media reported a ‘scientific consensus’ about the pandemic’s origins without providing any information about its investigations
“… Regardless of how COVID-19 started, the premature suppression of the discussion of the lab leak theory highlights a new and unhealthy relationship between the mainstream media and science. It is alarming that journalists were labeling the lab leak hypothesis with all its different branches a “debunked” conspiracy theory as early as February 2020 based on studies that simply said that the virus was likely not engineered. Reframing this partial answer as a much broader and more definitive one, the press then cherry-picked comments from scientists who had collaborated extensively with the lab and whose apparent conflicts of interest were ignored in order to present their statements as proven facts.”
