British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his National Security Council decided on January 28 to allow Chinese company Huawei access to “non-core” parts of its network, as it builds portions of Britain’s 5G network.
Though the council says that Huawei will not be granted access to “sensitive locations” or nuclear sites, it made the decision despite warnings from the United States that allowing the Chinese company access to its networks could jeopardize trans-Atlantic intelligence sharing.
The council decided to proceed with the deal because, despite Huawei being a “high risk vendor,” it determined that it could safely navigate the cybersecurity risks. The decision was also motivated by the belief that banning Huawei would have resulted in losses of tens of billions of pounds as well as “significant consumer delays,” according to the Telegraph.
Johnson said he would never “jeopardize” Britain’s security relationships. Digital Secretary Baroness Nicky Morgan asserted that high-risk vendors, such as Huawei, “never have been and never will be in our most sensitive networks.”
But U.S. security expert Klon Kitchen warned that Britain’s dual action of trusting Huawei and believing that it can keep Huawei out is a “terrible mistake.” He warned:
Chinese law says that all information—even your information—that transits, is stored on, or in any other way touches the networks of a Chinese company is considered “Chinese information” and, therefore, must be made available to the country’s intelligence services. Huawei’s assurances that your information is protected from these laws are not credible and the fact that these networks can be technically “secured” will do nothing to change this fact.
“We are now at the finality of a highly accomplished chancellor who led a country through many storms,” former German Defense Minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg said about Chancellor Angela Merkel (Trumpet translation throughout). But now is the time, he said, when “the next to come must lead.” Guttenberg has a clear favorite about who this next leader should be: Merkel’s long-time rival, Friedrich Merz..... READ MORE
America’s government has been embroiled in a shameful impeachment charade for months now. The Democrats are demonstrating that there is virtually no limit to what they are willing to do to attack the president and undermine the last election—and the next one. Meanwhile, revelations continue to emerge about their abuse of the intelligence agencies to spy on Americans, even the president himself.
People need to understand what a dangerous threat this is to the very foundation of this nation!
What is happening in the Democratic Party is an extension of and intensification of a process started by the previous president.
When Barack Obama promised to “fundamentally change America” during his 2008 presidential run, few people knew what he really meant. Now that he is out of office, it is becoming clearer all the time that the change he was talking about was something far more dangerous than many people assumed.
He meant changing America from a constitutional republic. And what we are witnessing in the country today shows that, to an alarming degree, he succeeded! READ MORE
Russian President Vladimir Putin has sent shock waves around the world once again. In his January 15 State of the Union address, he announced the most sweeping changes to Russia’s constitution since the document was put into force in 1993. This bombshell was immediately followed by the resignation of Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and the rest of the Russian cabinet, a move that will facilitate Putin’s overhaul of the Constitution.

Guttenberg and a ‘Final Wake-up Call’ for Europe
In an interview with Die-Wirtschaft.at, former German Defense Minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg said he hopes that “developments in China and the United States” will provide Europe a “final wake-up call” to unite (Trumpet translation throughout). The Austrian publication wrote on November 27: “According to Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg, Europe must quickly move closer together and show strength—also militarily.”
In the interview, Guttenberg was asked how Europe can position itself to play a decisive role in the future. He answered:
First of all, I am convinced that Europe must position itself as a strong pillar and not lose sight of both directions. Whether this will work, however, depends on if, and to what extent, we can create European cohesion. First of all, one needs to see the antagonism between China and the United States, and the resulting lines of conflict, as an opportunity for Europe. If you want to capitalize on China’s drive to expand and the renationalization of the United States, Europe has to be more confident in carrying its unique economic area with over 500 million people forward.
China Prepares to Blind U.S. SatellitesChina has been rapidly developing its military capabilities to a level that could threaten the greatest military power in existence today. But beyond the visible land, air and sea forces, it is developing the technology that could devastate the latest military frontier: space. On September 27, the head of United States Space Command warned that China is developing laser weapons that could blind American satellites.
“We’re pretty comfortable [in asserting] that they are developing directed energy weapons—probably building lasers to blind our satellites,” said U.S. Gen. John “Jay” Raymond. “It’s clear that China would plan to use those threats against us in conflict,” he added.
Only in recent years has space become a military realm on par with land, sea, air and cyberspace. This fact led President Donald Trump to re-establish the 1985 U.S. Space Command in August, which had been dissolved by George W. Bush in 2002. The force was reestablished in order to put more focus on staying ahead of the threats to this realm.

The German Military Counterintelligence Service expanded its investigation of right-wing extremist soldiers in the Bundeswehr in 2019. As a result, the military secret service has added 50 new cases since May to the investigation, bringing the total number of cases up to 478. The counterintelligence service has been criticized for neglecting the investigation for years.

Which Threats Are Real—and Which Are Fake?
How Germany Plans to Win World War III
Imagine living under a totalitarian political party. It surveils and controls every aspect of society: the courts, the media, your finances, your healthcare, your beliefs. Parents are afraid their children will report them to the secret police for conversations held around the dinner table. People who are merely suspected of disagreeing with the party have suddenly disappeared. People are reeducated, enslaved, sterilized and even killed for belonging to a race or ethnic group that the party has declared inferior.
You would be living in this world if Germany won World War ii.
This almost happened!
An American organization is helping China build a totalitarian surveillance state. Google and ibm executives lead the OpenPower Foundation, which is working with the Chinese company Semptian to build a microprocessor that allows the Chinese government to monitor the Internet activity of millions of people. After receiving tips about the company’s role in mass surveillance, an investigative reporter contacted Semptian posing as a potential customer. In response, a Semptian employee revealed that the company had developed a surveillance system named Aegis. The program allows spies to collect people’s e-mail records, phone calls, text messages, cellphone locations and web-browsing histories.
China is using this technology to target critics of President Xi Jinping’s Communist regime, and U.S. companies are helping. “It’s disturbing to see that China has successfully recruited Western companies and researchers to assist them in their information control efforts,” Sen. Mark Warner of the Senate Intelligence Committee told Intercept.
Aegis equipment has been embedded in China’s phone and Internet networks, and sold to authoritarian governments in the Middle East and North Africa. And some of the same technology is being used to track the e-mail records, phone calls, text messages, cellphone locations and web-browsing histories of American citizens.
Authoritarian regimes in East Asia, North Africa and the Middle East are so eager for the latest Google technology because Google was established with research grants from the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency.
“Some of the research that led to Google’s ambitious creation was funded and coordinated by a research group established by the intelligence community to find ways to track individuals and groups online,” reported Quartz Magazine. “The intelligence community hoped that the nation’s leading computer scientists could take nonclassified information and user data, combine it with what would become known as the Internet, and begin to create for-profit, commercial enterprises to suit the needs of both the intelligence community and the public.”
The search algorithms that resulted from this cia–Silicon Valley alliance allow companies like Google to track people’s interests, hobbies and political affiliations as part of a grand targeted advertising campaign. These same algorithms are now being sold to authoritarian regimes around the world, allowing dictators to clamp down on “dissidents” who are reading online material that their governments have deemed subversive. Google executives are even using these same algorithms to influence election results in democratic nations, like the United States.
