Dominion Techie Worked For CCP Military Proxy Flagged By U.S. Govt For ‘Malicious Cyber Activity’

Andy Huang, who serves as Core Infrastructure Manager of Information Technology at Dominion Voting Systems, previously worked at China Telecom, The National Pulse can reveal.

China Telecom is wholly run by the Chinese government, and has been identified by the U.S. Department of Defense as having collaborated with the country’s military for over two decades.

Similarly, the Department of Justice flagged the firm for “concerns that China Telecom is vulnerable to exploitation, influence, and control by the Chinese government” and how “the nature of China Telecom’s U.S. operations” provide “opportunities for Chinese state-actors to engage in malicious cyber activity enabling economic espionage and disruption and misrouting of U.S. communications.”

Huang, who fulfills the critical technology role at Dominion, worked at the Chinese firm from 1998 to 2002.

Tasks which Huang assisted with include the “Xiamen IDC Project,” the “Xiamen Metropolitan-are broadband network,” and the “OA Intranet infrastructure reformation project.”

While the specific nature of his work on these projects is not entirely clear, Cisco, a company he worked with extensively, is responsible for upholding China’s draconian internet firewall.

Huang’s LinkedIn profile displays his employer as one of his “interests.”

Michael Flynn Jr. Responds To Father’s Presidential Pardon, Thanks Trump ‘From Bottom Of My Heart’

Decorated general's son thanks President Trump, slams federal judge who said Flynn Sr. "sold out" his country

Michael Flynn Jr. spoke to National File on Wednesday in response to the breaking news of his father’s full presidential pardon from President Donald Trump, expressing gratitude towards the President while castigating the federal judge who oversaw the criminal case against Flynn Sr.

“My first reaction to the pardon news? Thank you from the bottom of my heart, President Trump. My second reaction? A big middle finger to Judge Sullivan,” Flynn Jr. told National File.

U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan had previously repeated Democrat Party talking points when he told Flynn, Sr. that “arguably, you sold your country out.”

President Donald Trump announced on Twitter Wednesday that he has issued a full pardon for General Michael Flynn, who was charged with lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation during an interview where agents lied to Flynn about the nature of the investigation.

Flynn’s subsequent legal persecution has been described as a political witch hunt perpetrated by officials loyal to the Barack Obama administration.

“It is my Great Honor to announce that General Michael T. Flynn has been granted a Full Pardon. Congratulations to @Gen Flynn and his wonderful family, I know you will now have a truly fantastic Thanksgiving!” Trump said in Wednesday’s tweet.

In May of 2020, the accusation that Flynn was unethically set up by the FBI was given credence by the Department of Justice, which dropped charges against Flynn.

The news of Flynn’s pardon has, predictably, been met with cries of anguish and alarm by the anti-Trump corporate media, and other activists affiliated with the Democrat Party.

Zimbabwe Loses $1.5 Billion Annually To Gold Smuggling

A report published Tuesday by the International Crisis Group calculates that cash-strapped Zimbabwe is losing at least $1.5 billion a year through the smuggling of gold, mainly to traders in Dubai. The figure is higher than the government's own estimates of $1.2 billion a year lost through the illicit gold trade, according to Bloomberg.

"Estimates suggest that more than $1.5 billion worth of gold leaves Zimbabwe illegally each year, often ending up in Dubai," said the report by the International Crisis Group. Incidentally, the role of Dubai and the UAE in Zimbabwe's gold smuggling operation has grown explosively in the past two years, with the reported difference between Zimbabwe gold exports and UAE gold imports soaring between 2016 and 2018.

Zimbabwe's illicit gold trade is so extensive, the report stated that "some dealers estimate that illegal exports top official deliveries," to the country's formal refinery.

The landlocked southern African country with chronic financial turmoil and endogenous corruption boasts vast gold reserves, with the sector accounting for 60% of Zimbabwean exports. The gold sector provides jobs to nearly 10% of the country's population, according to the report.

Interview with Edward Snowden on Silicon Valley Censorship, Biden, and Lurking Press Freedom Dangers

How did we travel so far from the original vision of the internet as the one place humans could communicate and organize free of state and corporate control?

The NSA reporting of 2013, enabled by the heroic whistleblowing of Edward Snowden, was widely perceived at the time time to be about violations of the right to privacy. It was, of course, about that, but the revelations implicated numerous other vital liberties, including free speech, a free press, the need for transparency over state actors and especially the always-lurking security state, and the dangers of allowing governments to make the most consequential decisions in the dark, with no democratic consent or accountability.

But the overarching cause uniting all of those specific concerns was a belief in and defense of internet freedom. In one of the earliest interviews we conducted with Snowden in Hong Kong, he explained that he was driven in large part by the central, vital role which the early version of the internet played in his life: one that was free of corporate and state control, that permitted anonymity and exploration free of monitoring, and, most of all, fostered unrestrained communication and dissemination of information by and among citizens of the world without corporate and state overlords regulating and controlling what they were saying.

It was that Wild West vision of the internet that led so many to herald it at its inception as one of the greatest and most potent innovations in modern history for fostering individual freedom, human liberation, empowerment of ordinary citizens, and the ability of people to organize and communicate without having to depend on corporate giants and the governments they fund and control. In many ways, that vision is a faint memory — submersed in the mass surveillance Snowden exposed but which still persists, the corporatization of the most influential online venues and, increasingly, the control over the flow of speech and information by unseen oligarchical overlords whose decrees require no identifiable rationale and afford no appeal. The power of these unseen discourse-regulators is final, arbitrary and absolute.

It does not have to be this way. A free internet is still worth fighting for and is still salvageable. But it faces growing threats: from corporate media outlets eager to suffocate anything that threatens their discourse-monopoly by ginning up pressure on Silicon Valley to censor various dissidents and independent voices even more so than they are now; from political parties and politicians who wield great influence with tech giants and know they can exploit that influence to silence their critics and adversaries; and the increasing concentration of power over the internet in the hand of a few monopolies whose power and wealth makes it irresistible for power centers to try to harness to suffocate dissent.

On Monday I spoke with Snowden for a special episode of SYSTEM UPDATE, for roughly 40 minutes about the growing dangers of Silicon Valley censorship, why a tech industry that never wanted the power or responsibility to regulate discourse has had that obligation foisted upon them by politicians and journalists, the lurking dangers to press freedoms, and how a Biden/Harris administration may make all of this worse:

Says lots of stuff does Prather but he's got no sauce

Obama Mocks Pro-Trump Hispanics, Pro-Lifers, and Evangelicals in One Statement

Former President Barack Obama mocked Hispanics who voted for President Donald Trump, pro-lifers, and conservative Christians in one statement. He suggested that pro-Trump Hispanics betrayed their race in exchange for less consequential evangelical issues.

“People were surprised about a lot of Hispanic folks who voted for Trump,” Obama said, referring to the fact that in 2020, Trump outperformed his 2016 numbers in 78 of the nation’s 100 majority-Hispanic counties. He also improved his margins with Hispanics in exit polls in the top 10 battleground states.

Obama attributed this shift to conservative religious views, suggesting that opposition to gay marriage and abortion distracted Hispanics from issues they should care about, like race.

“There’s a lot of evangelical Hispanics who, the fact that Trump says racist things about Mexicans, or puts detainees — you know undocumented workers — in cages, they think that’s less important than the fact that he supports their views on gay marriage or abortion,” Obama said.

Many Hispanics, as well as pro-life Americans and evangelical Christians, found this interpretation extremely offensive.

“A lot of things are wrong with Barack Obama’s condescending remarks about conservative Hispanics. Chief among them is that Donald Trump never ran opposed to gay marriage, as Obama has in the past,” Giancarlo Sopo, a Catholic Hispanic Trump campaign staffer tweeted.

Obama Calls for More Big Tech ‘Fact-Checking’ in Wake of Trump Getting 71M Votes

Steve Cortes, a Hispanic and senior advisor for strategy on the Trump campaign, also pushed back on Obama’s comments. “Obama insults Hispanics, says we only voted for Trump because of faith/social issues. As important as life issues are, the economic factors drove most working-class voters to Trump, including Latinos,” he argued.

Republicans like Cortes are not the only ones to note Hispanics’ focus on economic issues. “Most Latinos identify first as working-class Americans, and Trump spoke to that,” Josh Zaragoza, a top Democratic data specialist in Arizona, told Politico. Zaragoza noted that Hispanic men in particular “are very entrepreneurial. Their economic language is more aligned with the way Republicans speak: pulling yourself up by your bootstraps, owning your own business.”

Former Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R-Fla.) argued that Obama’s comment provided “a great example of why Democrats are losing support in America’s Hispanic community. The comment is dismissive of millions of people and seems to diminish their faith. Regrettable at a time when the President-elect has called for healing and reconciliation.”

While it is fundamentally insulting for Obama to suggest that Hispanics were wrong to place evangelical Christianity ahead of racial identity politics, his remarks also twisted Trump’s record and misinterpreted the Christian positions on key issues.

Matt Walsh pointed out three key problems with Obama’s remarks. “First of all, Obama built the cages. Second, Hispanics would be right to care more about the slaughter of the unborn than mean stuff Trump has said. Third, literally no one thinks Trump is opposed to gay marriage or cares one way or another about the issue,” he tweeted.

CIA Officer Killed in Somalia Last Weekend

A Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) officer has died from an injury sustained during a mission in Somalia last weekend, The New York Times reported, citing a former senior US administration official familiar with the matter.

The report on Wednesday said the CIA officer was a former US Navy Seal, but the identity of the officer has not been made public. It added that he was also a member of the CIA's paramilitary division.

Earlier on Wednesday, the US Defense Department's Inspector General said in a report that militants from Islamist group al-Shabab continued attacks in East Africa as US forces revised plans to transition security responsibility to Somalia, because Somali forces fell short of development "milestones".

Last week, the State Department announced that the leaders of al-Shabab are now considered "Specially Designated Global Terrorists". One of the leaders of the group, Maalim Ayman, is considered to be behind the attack that killed one US serviceman and two contractors in Kenya in January 2020.

According to Coordinator for Counterterrorism Nathan Sales, Washington regards al-Shabab to still be a threat both in Somalia and in the region, and the US will use all instruments available to defeat the group.

Sales said US “takes seriously our responsibilities to use what tools are available to us to roll back, degrade, and defeat” group, incl “all instruments of national power.” But declined to comment on withdrawal reports, instead announcing sanctions on 2 top al Shabaab officials.

Meanwhile, Reuters reported that US President Donald Trump was considering a withdrawal of almost all American troops stationed in Somalia at the moment. Earlier in October, the US president tweeted that his administration suspended entry for refugees coming from the "terror-compromised nations" - including Somalia, in order to prevent "radical Islamic terror" from entering the American borders.

Explosive from Lude Media: Joe Biden knows failure to come and turned to Mitch McConnell for protection

According to Lude Media’s live broadcast tonight, Joe Biden knew it was difficult for him to oppose legal sanctions. He surrendered to Mitch McConnell to protect himself on the condition that President Trump would pardon him for all crimes, including Hunter Biden’s Hard Drive incident.

Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China, knows what to come. He called Biden on 25th to show his desperate support to Biden as the next president of the US. Xi’s so-called ultimate battle is only to bet all on the old Biden. Through the U.S. election, key powers of the United States and interest groups have clearly understood the ultimate goal of CCP, that is to control and manipulate the United States. They have completely abandoned Biden and fully supported President Trump. With helps from the Whistleblower Movement, American public opinion has also completely turned!

Jiang and Zeng jumped off the boat. The fight within the CCP has reached its extreme and is about to enter the final madness. The swamp of the United States has always been the most powerful foundation of the Chinese Communist regime. Why did the unanimous Hong Kong bill fail to strike the CCP heavily by sanction? One of the swamp forces, the White House Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows, was behind this.

The result of the US election is a key milestone in the process of taking down the CCP! Mr. Guo mentioned that the 25th is a watershed some time ago. Today, the situation is clear. Mr. Guo’s Getter today released good news of Hong Kong. It shows once again that the United States has awakened and will completely sanction the CCP!

The extermination of the Communist Party has finally entered the final critical period! Biden’s surrender means the complete failure of the American swamp! Hong Kong is just the beginning, and the US’ holding the CCP accountable for manipulating the election and releasing biochemical weapons will make the CCP irresistible. American law and politics will be reshaped, and justice will prevail!
