China Builds a Ring of Fire Around Taiwan

Paul Collier May 24, 2024

The Chinese military was able to completely encircle the island nation of Taiwan, cutting off American assets from potentially coming between China and Taiwan to defend the island. The PRC claims its an exercise to test the capacity of the military, but it comes shortly after a new President was inaugurated who was not the pro-China candidate the CCP backed.

UPDATE: The drills were conducted over the course of two days, with Taiwan accusing China of seeking to intimidate the island nation, though some experts theorize China was testing the response of both Taiwan and the U.S., in addition to seeking to intimidate the island nation. The fact that China was able to execute a complete encirclement of the island without catching U.S. assets within the ring adds credibility to the theory the action was a test and the Chinese seemed to pass it with flying colors.

Military vessels and planes surrounded Taiwan from all sides as the People’s Republic of China (PRC) launched “Exercise Joint Sword” on Thursday to conduct People’s Liberation Army (PLA) exercises in President Xi Jinping’s escalating harassment of the Republic of China (ROC).

The latest attempt at intimidating Taiwan is a “punishment,” according to the PRC, for the ROC’s inauguration of a new president earlier this week, something Beijing views as a “separatist act.”

The drills, some of which involve live fire, are being carried out in the Taiwan Strait, off the island’s north, south, and east coasts, and in the vicinity of smaller islands around Taiwan. The joint sea-and-air exercises include warships and military aircraft and are intended by President Xi and the Chinese Communist Party to escalate its threats against the ROC’s independence and wave off help from Taiwan’s friends and partners.

Shanghai:

China on Thursday announced two days of war games around self-ruled Taiwan, encircling the island with naval vessels and military aircraft.

Here’s what you need to know.

Why has China launched these drills?

Taiwan has been self-governed since 1949, when nationalists fled to the island following their defeat by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in a civil war on the mainland.

Beijing considers the democratic island part of its territory and has not ruled out using force to bring it under its control.

Radical Leftist College Professors Plan on Not Grading Students to Support Death Cult Hamas

Paul Collier May 16, 2024

Anti-American seditionist college professors are planning on refusing to issue final grades for students, preventing thousands from being able to graduate and seek gainful employment. Their motivation behind this is to force their colleges, most of them publicly funded, to support the genocidal death cult Hamas in its efforts to purge Israel of the Jews.

Washington Square News broke the story, claiming “About 100 graduate student workers and faculty are threatening to withhold final grades until NYU agrees to remove New York City Police Department officers from campus, pardon pro-Palestinian ‘students, faculty, and graduate workers,’ facing disciplinary action and ‘substantively negotiate,’ with student protesters over their demands.”

The action is called a “grade strike,” and it is expected to spread to other universities.

Calls for professors and graduate teaching assistants to withhold assigning grades as a means to strong-arm university leaders into acquiescing to activists’ anti-Israel demands have emerged in recent weeks.

Pro-Palestinian activists at two major universities, New York University and the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, have launched campaigns advancing the strategy, and many instructors have said they would participate.

The tactic is called a “grade strike.”

“About 100 graduate student workers and faculty are threatening to withhold final grades until NYU agrees to remove New York City Police Department officers from campus, pardon pro-Palestinian ‘students, faculty, and graduate workers,’ facing disciplinary action and ‘substantively negotiate,’ with student protesters over their demands,” the NYU student newspaper the Washington Square News reported.

A representative for the strike said in an interview with WSN that it “could bring things to a halt, and hopefully force them to come to the table and actually talk about demands.” In a flier, organizers of the grade strike listed their demands, which included amnesty for all students suspended for their involvement in NYU’s recent anti-Israel encampment.

Inspector General Alleges Biden’s FBI Illegally Retaliated Against Whistleblowers

Paul Collier May 16, 2024

DOJ Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz has released a report on Tuesday, May 14, 2024, that claims the Biden administration illegally retaliated against whistleblowers in numerous ways, including illegally immediately revoking their security clearance the moment they identified themselves as whistleblowers.

The report’s key points came in these statements, “As this data reflects, it is unlikely that security clearance reviews, from suspension to a final decision to revoke, are being completed in 1 year… Whistleblower testimony makes clear that the FBI rid itself of employees who dared to speak out against FBI leadership or to raise good-faith concerns about FBI operations.”

Excerpt from thefederalist.com

A recently published inspector general report, paired with newly released transcripts of one FBI official’s 2023 interview with the House Judiciary Committee, shows that the FBI’s strategy for retaliating against whistleblowers involved suspending their security clearances without explanation or warning.

Jennifer Leigh Moore, who served as executive assistant director for the FBI’s human resources branch until her retirement in June 2023, told congressional investigators that she is “adamant for every employee to be treated fairly and accurately” and that her “whole management principle is around ‘be kind.’”

“No matter what we’re doing, if we’re suspending a clearance, if we’re bringing on board an employee, or if we’re at a retirement, we are always kind,” she told the House Judiciary Committee in April 2023.

Secret Service Shows Obvious Favor in Organizing “Free Speech Zones” for DNC, RNC Conventions

Paul Collier May 16, 2024

The DNC will see the Secret Service create a “Free Speech Zone” that is 3 miles away from the planned DNC convention in Chicago.

The same cannot be said for the RNC, who has to contend with far left local officials convinced republicans are KKK terrorists and the Secret Service, which is allowing protesters in the RNC “Free Speech Zone” just 1/3 mile from the location, Milwaukee, where the fire chief there just claimed Republicans might “terrorize Milwaukee citizens” and “harass minorities.”

Joe Biden’s corrupt Secret Service is showing how badly biased it is by putting Republicans in danger for its national convention by setting different rules for likely dangerous protests for Republicans than it is setting for Democrats.

The GOP is furious that the Secret Service has decided to set the so-called “free speech zone” for the protesters in Milwaukee for the GOP national convention will be kept in Pere Lafayette Park, only a quarter of a mile from the convention venue in Milwaukee.

On the other hand, in Chicago for the Democrat convention, protesters will be kept three miles away from the United Center.

Per the Washington Post:

At the meeting, a Milwaukee police captain also said there were concerns within the community that Republican convention attendees might “terrorize Milwaukee citizens” and “harass minorities.”

“There is fear in the community,” the Milwaukee police official said.

Nick DeSiato, chief of staff for Milwaukee’s City Hall, said that “the captain’s comment reflected feedback from some of our community members.”

The Republicans in the room took umbrage at the comments.

Former Director of National Intelligence Warns America’s Enemies are Using Patent Courts to Steal Tech and Sabotage American Industry

Paul Collier May 16, 2024

John Ratcliffe, the former Director of National Intelligence from 2020 to 2021 is warning the federal government about the current state of America’s patent courts, which are allowing foreign nationals to exploit American technology and sabotage American businesses.

Ratcliffe said, “During my tenure as the Director of National Intelligence under President Trump, and while serving on the Homeland Security and Judiciary committees in Congress, we recognized patent trolls’ ability to exploit our judicial system and serve as puppets for adversaries participating in U.S. litigation as undisclosed third parties. State attorneys general, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and Sens. John Kennedy of Louisiana and Marco Rubio and Rick Scott of Florida have recently raised serious concerns about the looming threat of foreign adversaries funneling money into litigation against U.S. companies.”

… Numerous threats demand our attention and often capture headlines, such as military buildups, cyber espionage, and disinformation campaigns. Alongside these more high-profile hazards, there is a quietly growing and increasingly pressing national security concern: foreign actors’ attacks on American businesses and intellectual property through our judicial system.

To understand their strategy, it’s important to grasp the current landscape of U.S. patent litigation. Approximately 60 percent of all U.S. patent litigation is brought by non-practicing entities, often called “patent trolls.” Shell companies are created to buy up broad, unused patents and weaponize them through lawsuits targeting businesses. Nefarious third parties — including foreign adversaries — can fund patent trolls and use lawsuits to access sensitive information, gain an unfair competitive advantage, and advance future litigation campaigns against the same company and others in the industry. This practice reflects a potentially coordinated attempt to use lawsuits to steal intellectual property from American businesses.

Broad and invasive court-ordered discovery in patent infringement cases requires divulging a company’s crown jewels — which might include critical confidential information like source code, engineering specifications, and detailed financial data — to hostile actors funding lawsuits or operating behind a patent troll shell company. This information can take months to gather, diverting key personnel away from their primary tasks and racking up huge legal bills. Despite the use of protective orders, bad actors can still manipulate this process by taking photographs of source code, failing to return documents, and engaging in careless handling of highly sensitive information. And a major ransomware attack against a leading eDiscovery service provider highlights that no system is immune from compromise, regardless of security precautions.

Two Presidential Debates Scheduled, Completely on Biden’s Terms

Paul Collier May 16, 2024

President Donald J Trump challenged Joe Biden to debate him any time, any place. Joe Biden responded with a barely coherent video stating he will accept Trump’s challenge by accepting two debates, one in June and one in September, both of which will be carried by DNC-CCP media outlets and conducted by DNC-CCP operatives. There will also not be a live audience.

Trump responded to Biden’s “offer” by sharing a post on Truth Social, stating, “It is my great honor to accept the CNN Debate against Crooked Joe Biden, the WORST PRESIDENT in the History of the United States and a true Threat to Democracy, on June 27th. Likewise, I accept the ABC News Debate against Crooked Joe on September 10th. Thank you, DJT!”

Slovakian PM Shot by Far-Left Globalist Supporter

Paul Collier May 16, 2024

A far-left activist has purportedly shot the Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico on Wednesday, May 15, 2024. The attempted assassination was caught on film. The suspect, 71-year-old Jurak Cintula, said he allegedly shot Fico over free speech rights, which he says Fico is infringing on. Slovak authorities have been quick to claim Cintula acted alone.

The President-Elect of Slovakia, Peter Pellegrini, said of the assassination that it was “an unprecedented threat to Slovak democracy. If we express other political opinions with pistols in squares, and not in polling stations, we are jeopardizing everything that we have built together over 31 years of Slovak sovereignty.” As of right now, Fico is listed as being in stable, but serious condition.

PRAGUE — Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico is in life-threatening condition after being wounded in a shooting after a political event Wednesday afternoon, according to his Facebook profile.

The populist, pro-Russian leader, 59, was hit in the stomach after four shots were fired outside the House of Culture in the town of Handlova, some 150 kilometers (93 miles) northeast of the capital where the leader was meeting with supporters, according to reports on TA3, a Slovakian TV station.

A suspect has been detained, it said.

Is the CCP Funding Pro-Hamas Attacks on American Universities?

Paul Collier May 16, 2024

The Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) is claiming it has evidence that reveals the Chinese Communist Party is funding, in part, the operations that are leading to riots and other disruptions in American universities. The Singham Network, which has direct ties to the CCP, has been funding protests and social unrest connected to any cause, including Hamas, that will get people to riot for them.

Excerpt from www.breitbart.com

A report reveals that key radical left-wing organizations central in the current anti-Israel and anti-America protest movement are significantly funded and influenced by a network tied to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which seeks to advance a “revolutionary, anti-government, anti-capitalist agenda,” threatening U.S. internal stability.

A major report from the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI), published Monday, details how the Shut It Down for Palestine (SID4P) movement, which has connections to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) through the Singham Network, uses protests and media campaigns to push anti-America and anti-Israel narratives and significantly contribute to social unrest.

Ukraine War Going Badly for Zelensky, Who Fires Commander in Response

Paul Collier May 15, 2024

Zelensky dismisses Zaluzhnyi from military service

President Volodymyr Zelensky has dismissed Valerii Zaluzhnyi, the former commander-in-chief of Ukraine’s Armed Forces, according to a presidential decree published online on May 9.

The decree stated that Zaluzhnyi was dismissed “from military service on health grounds” and retained “the right to wear a military uniform.” The decree is dated May 8.

Zaluzhnyi will reportedly start his new role as Ukraine’s ambassador to the U.K. in the coming weeks, after being replaced by Oleksandr Syrskyi as commander-in-chief in February.

Is Bird Flu the New DNC Strategy to Win 2024?

Paul Collier May 15, 2024

A rise in stories reporting the spread of avian flu in America is causing some to suspect the Federal government, under the aegis of the Democratic Party, is preparing to create a new plandemic ahead of the 2024 elections to help assure a DNC win over the Republicans and, specifically, Donald Trump.

One report, so far, of an alleged transmission of the avian flu from a farm animal to a human was reported by the CDC. Headlines in recent MSM media reveal an increased “promotion” of the bird flu as an existential threat narrative.

Some of these headlines include:

Flu season is over, but there is a viral surge in California wastewater. Is it avian flu? – LA Times

PSYOP-BIRD-FLU is now being trial ballooned for summer lockdowns:

The United Nations (UN) and their eugenics “health” node in the World Health Organization (WHO) are proverbially killing two birds with one stone by conflating another gain of function (GOF) scamdemic with “climate change” and the food supply…

Just like PSYOP-19 projections were egregiously faked into high death counts, so too is this PSYOP-BIRD-FLU being whipped up into some kind of black plague 2.0 event, except that the increasingly desperate technocrats may just roll the dice on a much higher Infection Fatality Rate (IFR) this time around.

from the cdc

H5N1 bird flu is widespread in wild birds worldwide and is causing outbreaks in poultry and U.S. dairy cows with one recent human case in a U.S. dairy worker.
While the current public health risk is low, CDC is watching the situation carefully and working with states to monitor people with animal exposures.
CDC is using its flu surveillance systems to monitor for H5N1 activity in people.
