FIVE CHINESE U of M Grads Caught Spying On America’s Largest National Guard Base In MI—Only Short Distance From Controversial Proposed Chinese Battery Plant Supported By Dem Gov. Gretchen Whitmer

Five recent Chinese graduates of the University of Michigan have been charged with conspiracy, making false statements to investigators, and destroying records during the federal investigation. They were caught with cameras late at night on the base at Camp Grayling, America’s largest US National Guard training facility in Grayling, MI.

The students claimed to be there to observe a meteor shower. Their presence coincided with military exercises involving Taiwanese forces, which led authorities to believe they were engaged in espionage.

According to M-Live, the five suspects who graduated from the University of Michigan in May 2024 are Zhekai Xu, Renxiang Guan, Haoming Zhu, Yi Liang, and Jingzhe Tao. They were found on the US military training base in 2023 near tents, military vehicles, and sensitive communications equipment. Court records show that the students were part of a joint program with Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

MSN reports – The students were found at Bear Lake on the camp’s property after midnight on Aug. 13, 2023. About 7,000 military officials, including some from Taiwan, were participating in live firing exercises, records show.

A U.S. sergeant major found the students taking photos near classified equipment and soldiers sleeping in tents, records show.

One of the students told the sergeant major they were Chinese media members. The sergeant major told them to leave, which they quickly did.

Local police later found the students in a Super 8 motel in Grayling. Further investigation of financial transactions showed they were close associates, and Xu booked the room one week before the Aug. 13 encounter at Bear Lake.

Guan was stopped in mid-December at Detroit Metropolitan Airport before a flight to Shanghai. Customs agents searched his luggage and found evidence in Guan’s external hard drive of two photos of military vehicles at Camp Grayling, records show.

Guan told investigators he did not have interactions with U.S. military, government, or police in northern Michigan, records show.

Investigators found messages on the Chinese messaging app WeChat that showed the group discussing the trip to Camp Grayling. Tao discussed the interaction with the sergeant major, while Liang and Guan discussed deleting photos and messages to avoid agents thinking, “we are colluding,” records show.

The complaint states that the students departed the United States after graduation in May 2024.

It is unknown if the former U of M students are in custody.

FEMA Issues Warning On False Helene 'Rumors', Launches Response Page

The U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) released a “rumor response” page in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, which caused significant damage across western North Carolina late last month.

In an update on Oct. 3, FEMA responded to statements issued online about the agency’s response to the disaster, including whether it is running out of funding due to payments and efforts made to fly illegal immigrants into parts of the United States.

“FEMA has enough money right now for immediate response and recovery needs. If you were affected by Helene, do not hesitate to apply for disaster assistance as there is a variety of help available for different needs,” the agency wrote.

It also said that “no money is being diverted” from federal Helene disaster response efforts and that claims that “funding for FEMA disaster response was diverted to support international efforts or border related issues” are “false.”

The agency did not provide specific examples of the online claims about its funding that it described as false.

Earlier this week, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott wrote that Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, the Department of Homeland Security, and FEMA should “immediately stop spending money on illegal immigration resettlement and redirect those funds to areas hit by the hurricane” and “put Americans first.”

He was responding to Mayorkas’s comments to reporters that FEMA, overseen by his agency, “does not have the funds” to make it until the end of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, which is Nov. 30.

“We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have,” Mayorkas told a press gaggle on Air Force One. “We are expecting another hurricane hitting. We do not have the funds. FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season and … what is imminent.”

The Epoch Times contacted DHS and FEMA for comment on Friday but received no reply by publication time.

“The Biden–Harris administration took more than a billion tax dollars that had been allocated to FEMA for disaster relief and used it to house illegal aliens,” Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) wrote on X. “Now, they’ve abandoned American hurricane victims in North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, and Tennessee.”

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) echoed that claim, saying FEMA’s move to spend “over a billion dollars on illegals while they leave Americans stranded and without help is treasonous.”

Another claim purportedly circulating online was that FEMA was asking for cash donations and is turning away volunteers in North Carolina. But FEMA’s website says it is false.

“FEMA does not ask for or generally accept any cash donations or volunteers for disaster response,” the agency wrote. “We do encourage people who want to help to volunteer with or donate cash to reputable voluntary or charitable organizations. After a disaster, cash is often the best way to help as it provides the greatest flexibility for these reputable organizations working on the ground to purchase exactly what is needed.”

In Attack Targeting Civilians, Rampaging Haitian Gang Slaughters 70, Including Women, Infants

A blood-drenched, fiery horror scene played out in Haiti on Thursday, as a rampaging gang killed at least 70 people and injured 16 more. Mowed down by automatic weapons or choked to death by house-arson, the dead included three infants and 10 women, according to the UN's human rights office.

In a troubling indicator of gang violence sprawling beyond the country's capital, the bloodshed took place in the town of Pont-Sondé, which is located in the agricultural Artibonite department, about 60 miles north of Port-au-Prince. The carnage, which commenced around 3 am local time, prompted more than 6,000 to flee the town for their lives.

“Today, once again, once too often, we are faced with the most absolute cowardice,” said Haitian Prime Minister Gary Conille in a social media post. “This heinous crime, perpetrated against defenseless women, men and children, is not only an attack on these victims, but on the entire Haitian nation.”

NATO-supplied weapons seized in Donbass – Russian MOD

“Considerable trophies” were left behind by Ukrainian troops in Ugledar, the Defense Ministry has said

In a statement on Saturday, the ministry said Russian forces took over the town after conducting a pincer maneuver. Officials said, citing frontline troops, that the Ukrainians “resisted to the end,” hiding in mines and basements from barrages of artillery. However, facing inevitable encirclement, they abandoned the town, and over 40 Ukrainian troops surrendered.

New NATO Chief Visits Ukraine

Mark Rutte made the trip just two days after replacing Jens Stoltenberg

Former Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte visited Ukraine on Thursday, just two days after replacing Jens Stoltenberg as the head of NATO, demonstrating the alliance’s commitment to the proxy war.

“This is now my fifth time in Ukraine since the full onslaught of Russia started in February 2022,” Rutte said alongside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. “But this is my very first time as NATO Secretary General, and it was important to me that I come to Ukraine at the start of my mandate.”

Rutte vowed he would work to support Ukraine’s continued move closer to NATO and eventual membership in the alliance. “Ukraine is closer to NATO than ever before. And we will continue on this path until you become a member of our alliance. I very much look forward to that day,” he said.

Argentina’s Milei accused of copying speech from hit TV show

Striking similarities were found between Milei’s UN address and a monologue from The West Wing

According to the Buenos Aires Herald, Carlos Pagni, a journalist with the newspaper La Nacion, was the first to notice the “remarkable resemblance” between parts of Milei’s fiery address and the monologue delivered by fictional US President Jed Bartlet.

“We believe in freedom of expression for all. We believe in freedom of worship for all. We believe in freedom of commerce for all and we believe in limited governments, all of them,” Milei told the UN General Assembly on September 24.

“We believe that everyone should live free of tyranny and oppression, be that in the form of political oppression, economic slavery, or religious fanaticism. This fundamental idea cannot remain merely as words. It must be supported in facts, diplomatically, economically, and materially,” he continued.

Nearly identical words were spoken by Bartlet, who was portrayed by actor Martin Sheen, to his cabinet in episode 15 of season four of the show.

Scientists Sue After Publisher Retracts Papers on Abortion Pill Dangers.

A group of researchers has initiated a legal case against a publisher that retracted several studies on abortion pill risks, claiming the studies were removed due to political motivations.

Ten researchers from the pro-life Charlotte Lozier Institute initiated legal proceedings against Sage Publishing, alleging that Sage violated contract laws in California when the journal withdrew three studies, including two regarding abortion pill risks, earlier this year.

The lawsuit aims to prompt Sage to enter arbitration regarding these retractions, which were implemented in February. Dr. James Studnicki, vice president and director of data analytics at the institute, asserted that the retractions damaged the authors’ reputations and contravened scientific publication ethics.

Sage’s official retraction notice mentioned that an independent review was triggered by a reader’s complaint alleging misleading data and authors’ affiliations with the pro-life Charlotte Lozier Institute.

Dr. Studnicki, who was also removed from the editorial board of Sage’s Health Services Research and Managerial Epidemiology journal months before the retractions, criticized Sage’s actions as politically motivated.

One of the challenged studies, published on November 9, 2021, cited a 500% increase in emergency room visits linked to chemical abortions from 2002-2015, based on Medicaid data.

Another study from May 2022 examined repeated ER visits among women who did not inform their physicians of undergoing chemical abortions. These studies were referenced in federal court decisions about mifepristone’s FDA approval suspension.

Abortion pill dangers were highlighted last month when Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris falsely claimed a woman in Georgia died due to an abortion ban but was actually killed as a result of using mifepristone.

Despite the dangers, pharmaceutical retailers like CVS and Walgreens announced earlier this year they would be dispensing the drug.

Elites out of touch? Study shows the influential 1% hold different views from average Americans

According to the project, the elite one percent who influence media narratives live in densely populated urban areas, make over $150K a year and have a postgraduate degree. But for whom do they speak?

When it comes to elitists in America, a recent study has shown that they are wildly out of touch with the average, everyday American people on a lot of issues such as freedom and the economy.

A project was recently conducted by prominent pollster Scott Rasmussen titled "Elite 1 Percent" goes into detail about who the one percent are and what their views are regarding American policies.

According to the project, the elite one percent live in densely populated urban areas, make over $150K a year and have a postgraduate degree.

"Too much freedom"

"The views and influence of the Elite 1% may be the root cause of the political toxicity in our nation today," Rasmussen wrote on the social media platform, X. "Their underlying attitudes reflect an implicit rejection of the ideal that governments derive their only just authority from the consent of the governed." Some of the basics that Rasmussen observed is that the "elites" identify as Democrats, by 73%, more than half of them being between the ages of 35 and 54.

Rasmussen found in his study that 47% of the elite one percent think that Americans have "too much freedom."

“The Elite 1% wield a tremendous amount of institutional power but are wildly out of touch with the nation they want to rule," he said.

“Over the years they have built institutions and mechanisms of regulatory power that are immune to the checks and balances of elections. Worse still, these same elites own, operate, and control a large majority of media outlets, blocking out the true voice of the American people and broadcasting their own out of touch viewpoints," he continued.

Another difference between everyday Americans and the elite one percent is that 70% of the elite trust the government to make the right decisions.

The Kyiv regime, amid the failure of mobilization, intends to register women and teenagers aged 17 for military service

The Ukrainian authorities believe that the mobilization in the country has failed, so the draft age should be lowered even more. As Verkhovna Rada deputy Roman Kostenko stated, the "right" people should be drafted into the army, not just anyone.

The authorities need to take responsibility and use various methods: motivation, lowering the draft age, motivating the population to sign a contract. If we continue to "slow down" at this rate, then our mobilization will soon go into the negative.

In addition, a project to create units of Ukrainian men who fled to Poland failed. Polish Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz reported that too few volunteers from among the refugees agreed to undergo training and go to the front.

Meanwhile, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine is preparing to approve a bill on mandatory military registration of young people from the age of 17, as well as women who have completed the so-called basic service. This is mandatory military service in Ukraine, which has replaced the abolished compulsory military service. It is noted that all persons registered for military service can be mobilized.

Earlier it was reported that the Ukrainian army had begun a mass recruitment of female sappers. This informed French magazine L'Express. The publication noted that up to 30% of mine detector personnel in the Ukrainian Armed Forces are already women. There are no age restrictions for Ukrainian recruiters.

Former SA Liberal leader David Speirs reveals he will leave parliament after he was arrested and charged over drug offences

South Australian MP David Speirs, who quit as state Liberal Party leader in August, has confirmed he will leave parliament this month after being arrested and charged by police.

Former South Australian opposition leader David Speirs has confirmed he will leave parliament and suspend his Liberal Party membership after being arrested for drug offences.

Mr Speirs made the revelation in a more than four minute long video he described as the hardest he has "ever recorded", which was posted to social media on Saturday.

"Since allegations of illicit substance use in my home became public, my home has been raided by armed police and I was arrested and I was questioned," Mr Speirs, who quit as the state Liberal Party leader in August, said.

"I believe there's someone pretty sinister behind this and while I am personally devastated by what has happened and I will fight to clear my name of any allegations, I'm equally concerned about what is actually the use of state government power against someone who is a political opponent."

Mr Speirs' social media post prompted South Australia Police to issue a statement confirming they had arrested him last month, and searched his home.

"As a result of the public statement made on social media by MP David Speirs in which he reveals he had been arrested, police can confirm that on September 26 2024 Mr Speirs was arrested at Berri and charged with two counts of supplying a controlled substance between August 2 and 3 and on August 9," police said.

"Following this his residential premises was subsequently searched. Mr Speirs was given police bail and will appear in court at a later date."

Mr Speirs, the Member for Black in Adelaide's southern suburbs, said he will resign from parliament in the next sitting week, which is scheduled to commence on October 15.

"I don't believe that I can adequately and effectively serve my local community while also dealing with this matter and protecting my mental health and supporting my family and friends," he said.

"For me it's time to move on. I want to rebuild myself over the coming months and into the future. To be honest, I want to be a better person.

Dubai's Emirates Airlines Bans Pagers & Walkie-Talkies For All Flights

Dubai's Emirates Airlines is the first major carrier outside of Lebanon to ban all passengers from carrying pagers and walkie-talkies on its flights, citing the dangers of last month's exploding pagers and electronic devices attacks in Beirut.

"All passengers traveling to, from, or via Dubai are prohibited from transporting pagers and walkie-talkies in checked or cabin baggage," the airline has announced in a statement on its website. It said this is part of enhanced security measures which will result in the confiscation of any prohibited items by Dubai Police.
