US Senate GOP scrutinizes China's role in climate lawsuits, which Dimocrats call a 'conspiracy theory'

I would not dismiss these charges! Beware!

During the long Cold War we have abundantly learnt how many useful idiots in the West would do the work for and get paid by the Communist Party of the former Soviet Union to obstruct, delay or even sabotage the progress of the West.

Senate GOP scrutinizes China's role in climate lawsuits, which Dems call a 'conspiracy theory' | Just The News "The whole climate litigation campaign, Cruz argued, is part of a “strategic alliance” between leftist billionaires, radical environmental groups, and the Chinese Communist Party. It is yet another issue dismissed as a "conspiracy theory" by Democrats."

China-based group likely used Japan to traffic fentanyl chemicals to the US

Bad news! Any route possible via Mexico, Canada, and now Japan!

Asymmetric warfare? A Cold War? The Art of War by Sun Tzu?

The Communist Party of China would probably never allow this to happen if the fentanyl was targeted for the domestic market. 

"Chinese organization allegedly used a base in Japan to smuggle chemicals to make the synthetic drug fentanyl for the U.S., a Nikkei investigation has found.

A key figure in the group registered a company in the city of Nagoya and until at least July 2024 issued instructions from Japan on the delivery of the dangerous opioid and on the management of funds. ..."

"... If Japan is part of a trafficking route, then the country could get caught up in the global frictions surrounding this issue, including the trade war. ..."

Trump administration secretly probing hundreds of scientists from 'countries of concern' like China

Good news! Bravo! Trojan horses? Espionage?

Perhaps Trump was reading Sun Tzu's The Art of War (published 5th century BCE)! 😊

"The Trump administration has secretly launched an intensive vetting process for hundreds of foreign scientists brought into the United States from "countries of concern" like China, using visas procured with the help of the National Institutes of Health and other federal research agencies, officials told Just the News.

The review involving intelligence and security agencies began weeks ago over concerns prior administrations did not adequately vet the backgrounds of scientists or their ties to actors like China's military or its Communist Party. ..."

FBI documents show agency sat on intel on potential China plan to meddle in 2020 election for 46th President

Very serious stuff! Hopefully some US government employees will be indicted soon, if these allegations are confirmed!

The FBI Director (Christopher A. Wray from 2017-2025) under the 46th President was a sleazeball! Unfortunately, President Trump (45) did not fire him!

I have blogged here several times and years ago that the scandals of the senile, demented and corrupt 46th President are much bigger than Watergate ever was. Only this time no journalist followed up on this like Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward!

FBI documents show agency sat on intel on potential China plan to meddle in 2020 election for Biden | Just The News "Recently-unearthed internal FBI documents provide more evidence that the bureau purposely failed to properly investigate allegations of Chinese government meddling in the 2020 U.S. presidential election between Donald Trump and Joe Biden."

ICE Arrests 11 Iranian Nationals, Including One Who ‘Reportedly Served as Iranian Army Sniper’

Serious stuff, if confirmed! Would Trump survive another assassination attempt?

"... Among those in custody is Ribvar Karimi, who “reportedly served as an Iranian army sniper from 2018 to 2021,” according to the DHS. 

An Islamic Republic of Iran Army identification card was in Karimi’s possession when he was arrested in Locust, Alabama, on Sunday. ...

Karimi entered the U.S. in October 2024 on a visa for foreigners who are engaged to be married to a U.S. citizen. But the DHS says he “never adjusted his status—a legal requirement—and is removable from the United States.” ..."
