China In U.S. Backyard: Beijing Funded “Largest Port” In Americas To Be Inaugurated By Xi Jinping

China’s President Xi Jinping will inaugurate its first mega port in Latin America next week, giving China a foothold in America’s backyard. Brazil, a founding member of BRICS, has so far refused to join China’s Border and Road Initiative but has been keen to connect to the Chinese-funded port in Peru.

Chancay Port in Peru has been constructed at an estimated cost of US$ 3.5 billion under Beijing’s flagship BRI project and has the potential to shape trade in South America. Also, it will develop as a crucial connection point between South America and the Indo-Pacific.

President Jinping will formally inaugurate the port on November 14 during his visit to Peru for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting. Due to security concerns, President Jinping will open the port remotely using a video link from the Chinese Embassy in Lima.

China has been projecting the port as a win for Beijing even as its BRI faced a setback in South America, where Brazil refused to join it. Over the past decade, China and Latin America have become partners under the BRI. So far, 22 countries in the region have signed BRI cooperation documents with China. Brazil has stayed away from BRI but has not shied away from enjoying its fruits.

The inauguration also comes when Ecuador’s Coca Codo Sinclair dam, built under the BRI Project by Chinese contractors, has faced structural problems since its launch in 2018. This has taken off the sheen from the Chinese-led infrastructure initiatives in the area.

The Chancay port, located 50 miles north of Peru’s capital, Lima, is nearly complete and has four operational berths. The Chinese shipping giant COSCO will be the port’s sole operator.

COSCO intends to develop Chancay as a key logistics hub for trans-Pacific trade. Initially, COSCO will operate two 14,000 TEU (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units) container ships weekly, connecting the port to Shanghai. Later the terminal will be expanded to accommodate larger vessels carrying up to 24,000 TEU.

The size of the port is far greater than the current trade volume between China and Peru, indicating that other countries will be connected to the port. Small vessels transporting containers to neighboring South American countries like Chile, Colombia, and Ecuador will also throng the port. Plans are afoot to use the terminal to supply regions of Brazil that are too far inland for Atlantic coast ports to reach properly.

Brazil does not have direct access to the Pacific Ocean, which justifies its interest in the Chancay port. The Brazilian Ministry of Planning has launched an initiative called the South American Integration Routes Project. The project links Brazil with other major South American trade and development hubs. Two of these routes will be linked to Peru, and Chancay port will play an important role in the connectivity.

Earlier, Brazil exported more to Argentina, the US, and Europe, but now China has emerged as its main partner. As it gets closer to the Pacific (through the port of Chancay), it also gets closer to Asia and China in particular. Brazil aims to export Lithium to China for its electric car chain. The mineral is also critical for batteries. Brazil also has rich deposits of cobalt and nickel, minerals vital for electric battery production.

China In America’s Backyard

China was a late entrant in Latin America. However, it has now emerged as the region’s major economic partner. Bilateral trade between the two stands today at more than USD 200 billion. China is also Peru’s largest trading partner.

Chancay port is 4,500 miles from San Francisco, but geopolitically, it is on America’s “20-yard line.” The US’s main concern is that Beijing would use the port for military purposes, giving it a deep-water port close to the US but far enough to survive in the event of any hostilities. Using the port as a naval facility is not inconceivable. The same has been seen in Sri Lanka with the Chinese-built Hambantota port.

The US Southern Command thinks that the deep-water port is suitable for Chinese military ships to dock here and can also be used by its survey vessels for intelligence gathering. After all, China operates one of the biggest fleets of survey vessels in the world, constantly mapping the depth of the oceans.

US Army General Laura Richardson, the top officer at Southern Command, testified before the House Armed Services Committee that the Chinese activities are a “relentless march” to replace the United States as a leader in the region.

Chinese actions, like financing the port in Peru, establishing a space monitoring station near the Straits of Magellan in Argentina, and buying lithium mining operations in three South American nations, pose increasing risks to US security.

The Chinese Space Agency station in Argentina used to explore the dark side of the moon and track satellites that could also be used for targeting. This is one of China’s 11 satellite tracking stations across South America. These facilities, ostensibly used for space research and satellite tracking, could also track or interfere with US and other partner satellites. Some researchers have even argued that these sites could help the PLA guide hypersonic missiles, potentially boosting the PRC’s capability to strike the US.

Many countries in the region already use Chinese firms like Huawei in their 3G-4G networks. A Brazilian firm recently signed a memorandum of understanding with Huawei to build a prototype 5G network in a city there.

This is even though the US has cautioned other nations for several years about the security risks associated with relying on Huawei for advanced telecommunications because of its ties to the Chinese government.

Kamala Harris Campaign Gave $500k to Al Sharpton’s Nonprofit Weeks Before Glowing Interview With Anti-Semitic MSNBC Host

Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign donated $500,000 to Al Sharpton’s nonprofit organization just weeks before the anti-Semitic MSNBC host—who once said that "diamond merchant" Jews have the "blood of innocent babies" on their hands—conducted a friendly interview with Harris.

The campaign’s remittance to Sharpton’s National Action Network was part of a flurry of donations—$5.4 million in all—to black and Latino advocacy groups that seem aimed at winning Harris support from those constituencies. Harris’s campaign gave two payments of $250,000 to National Action Network on Sept. 5 and Oct. 1, according to campaign finance records.

On Oct. 3, Sharpton aired a video of Harris wishing him happy birthday on his MSNBC weekend show, PoliticsNation with Al Sharpton. "Happy birthday, Rev," Harris said, using Sharpton’s nickname. "You have been over all of your years such an extraordinary leader. You have been a voice of truth, a voice of conscience."

Sharpton, 70, conducted a glowing interview with Harris on Oct. 20 in which he touted her "extraordinary historic campaign" while referring to Trump as "hostile and erratic." His questions lined up closely with messages that Harris sought to highlight on the campaign trail. Sharpton addressed concerns among black voters—especially black men—about Harris’s record as a prosecutor in California, where she was given the nickname "Kamala the Cop." Sharpton brought up Shirley Chisholm, the first black woman elected to Congress, and one of Harris’s personal heroes, to put Harris’s candidacy in historical perspective. Sharpton asked Harris whether men who opposed her were "misogynistic."

Sharpton did not disclose payments from the Harris campaign during either segment with the candidate. National Action Network did not respond to requests for comment. MSNBC also did not respond to comment requests.

Harris’s donations to National Action Network and similar groups were part of a $1 billion spending spree that has sparked heartache and soul-searching within the Democratic Party, which lost the popular vote to a Republican candidate for the first time since 2004. The campaign, which ended $20 million in debt, leaned heavily on celebrities, influencers, and other high-profile Harris backers to make her case to voters. Her campaign gave $1 million to the production company of Oprah Winfrey, and paid a six-figure sum to create a set for Harris’s interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast, the Washington Examiner reported.

Team Harris donated to the National Urban League ($2 million), the Black Economic Alliance ($150,000), and Black Church PAC ($150,000). The campaign gave donations to lesser-known groups like the Haitian Ladies Fund ($30,000) and International Free and Accepted Modern Masons ($150,000), a black freemasons organization, according to campaign finance disclosures. The Black Economic Alliance hosted a video call for 5,000 attendees days before the election to urge black men to vote for Harris. Vote to Live Action Fund, which received $275,000 from the Harris campaign, launched a $4 million initiative in October to pressure black men to vote. Harris spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on an initiative to appeal to black church voters. Two of the organizations, Black Church PAC and the Institute of Church Administration and Management ($250,000), are linked to Frederick Haynes, an anti-Israel pastor who has worked with Harris for years on liberal causes.

The campaign gave to Casa in Action ($120,000), the Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada ($105,000), and Somos Votantes ($120,000), to mobilize Latino voters in Nevada, Pennsylvania, and other swing states. The lavish giveaways seemingly failed given Harris’s historically poor performance with black and Latino voters.

Sharpton reportedly earns a seven-figure salary from MSNBC, and is paid handsomely by National Action Network, which he founded in 1991. The nonprofit paid Sharpton around $650,000 in 2021 out of $7 million in revenues, and spent another $940,000 that year for "transportation services" to the private jet firm Apollo Jets and the limousine company Carey International.

It’s not the first time Sharpton has faced conflict of interest concerns regarding donations to his group, which he launched in 1991. The tobacco company R.J. Reynolds has donated heavily to Sharpton’s network. Sharpton, for his part, has publicly opposed a ban on menthol cigarettes, raising concerns that the activist preacher is being paid off to promote a harmful product popular with black Americans.

Sharpton has become an influential figure in mainstream Democratic circles after rising to national prominence in the 1990s for his involvement in anti-Semitic causes. He once taunted Jews to "pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house." In 1991, he provoked the Crown Heights riots in Brooklyn, one of the worst anti-Semitic outbursts in American history. In 1995, Sharpton protested against the Jewish owner of Freddy’s Fashion Mart, whom he called a "white interloper." A gunman who had attended Sharpton’s protests later murdered seven people in the store.

HHS keeps 294 DEI staffers on payroll, most making $200,000+

The Health and Human Services Department employs 294 people whose jobs focus on diversity, and the department maintains seven “minority health” offices spread across its agencies, according to a report that suggests unwinding it all will be tough for the incoming Trump administration.

The majority of those staffers, 182 workers, are paid six-figure salaries. The top diversity job earner, who works at the Food and Drug Administration, collected $221,000 in 2023, OpenTheBooks said in its report Tuesday.

The watchdog said spending on the diversity, equity and inclusion agenda “permeated” the department, appearing 829 times in its 2025 budget and totaling hundreds of millions of dollars in direct spending.

Among the costs were vaccine programs explicitly aimed at gay Black men, money earmarked for opioid programs that vowed to tackle “systemic racism,” a $5 million proposal to “diversify the doula workforce” and $5,000 to pay for an appearance by Ibram X. Kendi, a leading “antiracism” voice. A doula is a person who provides support for people undergoing significant health-related experiences such as childbirth.

“When it comes to DEI and health equity spending, payroll expenses are a drop in the bucket. Promoting these topics can be lucrative for federal employees looking to expand their agency’s budget and for private scientists hoping to win grants,” the analysts said.

DEI backers say the approach to government advances important missions by focusing money and attention on specific communities that need help.

OpenTheBooks said every dollar spent on equity in HHS’s bureaucracy is money that doesn’t go to health.

It also ends up justifying other bad policies, said John Hart, head of OpenTheBooks.

“DEI at HHS is concierge Marxism,” he said. “Academia is delivering a boutique and racially charged permission structure that helps bureaucrats feel morally innocent about imposing top-down, command and control policies that can disproportionately harm low-income Americans.”

HHS is one of the largest federal departments in terms of budget and has some 80,000 employees across more than a dozen divisions.

OpenTheBooks says HHS’s focus on DEI sprang from President Biden’s demand for a “whole of government” effort to advance the issue.

The study found that 92 DEI employees are working under Secretary Xavier Becerra at HHS.

More than 200 others were spread among various agencies. The FDA alone had three DEI-related divisions: one for diversity management, a diversity working group and a DEI “excellence” center.

The incoming Trump administration has chided the Biden team for its focus on DEI and has promised a reversal, but OpenTheBooks’ Christopher Neefus said that would be tough.

“Academia is already saturated with the DEI worldview, and now we can see there are public dollars and cents attached to keeping it that way,” he said. “It’s a self-reinforcing model that will take time to unwrap. If the new administration plans to get rid of this misguided focus on equity, there’s a very long walk back from the 2025 budget request.”

Officials at the National Institutes of Health invited Mr. Kendi to make a virtual appearance in 2022. He read from his bestseller “How To Be an Antiracist,” and NIH gave staffers free access to the tome in ebook or audiobook format.

One of the stipulations written into a contract document was that the appearance be available only to NIH staff, encrypted so it couldn’t be downloaded and expunged from the website after 30 days.

“Sponsor shall use the Recording only for the following purposes and for no other purpose whatsoever,” an agreement between Mr. Kendi and NIH said. “The recording must be removed on 10/27/22. The recording must be encrypted so it cannot be copied or downloaded. It is Sponsor’s sole responsibility to ensure that appropriate web security measures are in place.”

The contract documents also made clear that employees would be offered a link to buy Mr. Kendi’s books.

One email obtained by OpenTheBooks through its open records request was from an employee complaining that the video was no longer available.

“This is very disappointing,” the staffer wrote.

In response to the open records request, NIH seemed to justify the odd arrangement with Mr. Kendi and the expungement of the video as privileged commercial or financial information.

The Times has reached out to HHS and to NIH’s Big Read program, which sponsored the Kendi event.

OpenTheBooks said a large part of the DEI spending is attributable to the minority health offices.

The 42-member minority health office at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention began in 2021 to push medical researchers to incorporate “inclusion, accessibility and belonging” into their work, the watchdog said.

The CDC has also touted “vaccine equity,” with pushes to inoculate Black Americans, particularly the monkeypox vaccine for Black “men who have sex with men.” OpenTheBooks said that the details of that program have been scrubbed from the CDC website.

OpenTheBooks said agencies usually separate their equal employment opportunity efforts from their equity efforts, and for a good reason. The former aims to ensure fair treatment in the workplace, while the latter promotes particular diverse populations.

For most of HHS, the two roles are tied in the same office, the analysts said.

One of the world's richest people is moving after Trump's victory

One of the world's richest people has announced he is moving to the US in the wake of Donald Trump's victory in the presidential election.

Australian billionaire Anthony Pratt, who is a member of Trump's private Mar-a-Lago Club and has a net worth of around $12.3 billion, said he was granted a green card for permanent residency last month.

Pratt, who is ranked number 207 in Bloomberg's list of the 500 wealthiest people in the world, owns Australia-based paper and recycling company Visy.

He also owns Pratt Industries, a corrugated packaging company based in Conyers, Georgia.

Writing on LinkedIn, he said he had decided to make the move because all his family are US citizens, and because of his business prowess in the country.

Pratt's relationship with the President-elect was thrust into the spotlight in 2023 amid reports Trump had spilled secrets about US nuclear subs to him.

Trump disputed the reports at the time, calling them 'fake news' and branding Pratt a 'red haired weirdo.'

In the LinkedIn post announcing his move, Pratt wrote: 'Over the past 30 years we have invested to build 70 factories in America, creating 12,000 well-paying American manufacturing jobs.'

The 64-year-old billionaire added that he would remain chairman of Visy Australia and will return to the country regularly.

Visy is one of Australia's largest private firms, while Pratt Industries is the fifth-largest corrugated packaging company in the US.

In 2019, Pratt invited Trump to visit one of Visy's paper recycling plants in Wapakoneta, Ohio.

The group has annual sales of around $10 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

In 2023, ABC News first reported that Trump had discussed potentially sensitive information with Pratt shortly after he left office.

The outlet claimed that the businessman had gone on to share the information with several others following the revelations at Trump's private club, where he became a member in 2017.

The information was reported to have been about the number of nuclear warheads the US has, and how close they can get to Russian subs.

In response to the reports, Trump branded Pratt a 'red haired weirdo from Australia' in a post on his social media site Truth Social.

'I never spoke to him about Submarines, but I did speak to him about creating jobs in Ohio and Pennsylvania, because that's what I'm all about - JOBS, A GREAT ECONOMY, LOW TAXES, NO INFLATION, ENERGY DOMINANCE, STRONG BORDERS, NO ENDLESS WARS, LOW INTEREST RATES, and much more!,' Trump wrote in October 2023.

Pratt has since been interviewed by US law enforcement agencies, according to Bloomberg.

Pratt's move to the US comes following Trump's comeback victory in the presidential race against Democrat Vice President Kamala Harris.

The stock market has soared following the news, with two of America's main three stock indexes hitting record highs on Friday.

A sweeping Trump victory powered bets of a business-friendly agenda, with expectations of lower corporate taxes and looser regulations.

Billionaire businessman Elon Musk has been tipped to join the Trump administration in some way, creating the suggestion that other tech and business leaders may join him.

Joe Lonsdale, founding partner of venture capital firm 8VC and co-founder of controversial data mining company Palantir, claimed last week America's business 'A-team' is going to reform government spending under a second Trump administration.

'We're seeing a lot of top talent going in to reform government,' the businessman, who endorsed Trump in the election, said on CNBC.

'There's a huge amount to cut, there's a huge amount to fix.'

As private citizen, Dr. Fauci received $15 million taxpayer-funded security detail

For the past two years, Dr. Anthony Fauci has received $15,000,000 in taxpayer-funded security services – despite having returned to private citizenship. Open the Books discovered the arrangement within a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the U.S. Marshals service and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) via a Freedom of Information Act request.

Up until at least late September, this agreement between the two government agencies has left the American taxpayer on the hook for the costs attached to Dr. Fauci’s lifestyle, which included a publicly-funded chauffeur and a fully staffed U.S. Marshals security detail. The $15 million does not include the costs associated with his personal security from April 2020 to December 2022, which was handled by the same parties  while he was still serving in government.

Fauci’s security has been a topic of discussion on cable news and in the halls of Congress, but until now, the details of the secret agreement had not been made public.

According to the MOU, protection was available from January 4, 2023-September 20, 2024. The $15 million covers in part:  

Salaries and benefits for deputies and administrative personnel assigned to Fauci’s protective detail 

Costs related to transporting Fauci 

Law enforcement equipment 

The MOU states that the contract could be extended, and it is unknown if it has been. We asked the Marshals Service for clarification, and they did not get back to us within our deadline. We will provide an update if they respond.

The former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), who retired in December of 2022, was one of the most influential figures in America and throughout the world during the coronavirus era. Nearly ubiquitous on cable and broadcast news, Fauci became the face of America’s pandemic response.  His supporters often spoke of him as a man of uncontested knowledge, consistently labeling him the world’s foremost “public health expert.” 

But his detractors recall a government official who led the fight to implement years-long draconian restrictions upon the American people, which devastated the fabric of U.S. society, greatly harmed the economy and caused all kinds of additional negative repercussions – including widespread learning loss among America’s youth. Fauci was never shy to advocate for lockdowns, social distancing, school closures, business closures, mask mandates, and vaccine passports from his powerful federal perch during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

From 2019 to 2022 he was the highest paid federal employee, and he received lucrative cash prizes from domestic and international organizations that sought to position themselves closely with the man who controlled the distribution of billions of dollars in grantmaking funds. Fauci retired from the federal bureaucracy with a record $480,654 salary. In 2022 Open the Books estimated his pension would be about $355,000 per year, adding to the considerable fortune of $11 million amassed over his 54 years of government service. The President of the United States makes $400,000 per year. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts made $312,200 in 2023.

Since retiring from the NIAID in Decemeber 2022, Dr. Fauci published a memoir and accepted a quasi-ceremonial dual-professorship at Georgetown University. He holds the newfound title of Distinguished University Professor in the School of Medicine and is also affiliated with Georgetown’s McCourt School of Public Policy. The longtime NIAID chief has yet to teach a class at the university. 

It is unclear how unusual the arrangement between Health and Human Services and the U.S. Marshals Service may be. We could find no other cases of a former federal employee receiving this level of protection.

The U.S. Marshals Service is a subagency of the Department of Justice, typically tasked with capturing fugitives and protecting judges and court witnesses. In recent years, the Marshals Service has stated it is unable to meet these essential duties due to budget constraints. 

The tragic assassination of a judge’s son in 2020 led to an Inspector General report finding “resource limitations and competing agency budget and staffing priorities” have prevented the agency from providing optimal protection to the nation’s judiciary. The agency’s Fiscal Year 2025 Congressional Budget Request asked for $28.1 million in additional funds to better protect the nation’s judges, according to Reuters. 

While the funds to protect Fauci came from the HHS budget, valuable man hours from limited employee resources were used to staff Fauci’s security detail. 

Other prominent political figures are not as fortunate as Fauci. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who led an independent political campaign for president this year, was denied Secret Service protection six times during the course of his campaign in April 2023, according to National Review. The campaign spent $3 million on private security. He was finally granted protection shortly after the failed attempt on President Trump’s life in July, which was swiftly withdrawn again after he dropped out of the race in August. Kennedy is a person of some means, but he appears to have received much less favorable treatment than Dr. Fauci.

In media interviews about his security detail, Dr Fauci said the costs are necessary and justified because of threats he has received from what he describes as the “extreme radical right.” As detailed in a Newsweek report, a FOIA request revealed 34 instances of threatening language leveled at RFK Jr., including text messages that read, "How about you f*** off or I'll come to your event and shoot every single person who attends..Execution style and i'll broadcast the entire shooting on live TV." [sic]

Why was Fauci granted a year and a half of federal protection – a situation seemingly unique to federal bureaucrats – while a prominent president candidate went without it?

The contract with the U.S. Marshals Service is just the latest example illustrating how taxpayers are left in the dark about the ways their money is being spent, and which private citizens get access to millions in public funds.

U.S. secures 200 million barrels of oil for strategic reserve

Nov. 8 (UPI) – The U.S. Department of Energy said Friday that 200 million barrels of oil have been bought and delivered for the strategic oil reserve.

The last purchase of 2.4 million barrels will arrive in the spring, putting 20 million more than the 180 barrels sold in 2022 back into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

The final oil purchase is set to be delivered between April 1 and May 31. The average price, according to DOE, was $74.75 per barrel.

U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said in a statement, "With the awarding of these contracts, DOE has fully utilized all funding allocated for crude oil purchases following the sale of 180 million barrels in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and secured 20 million more barrels at a good price for taxpayers."

She added, "This milestone cements President Biden and Vice President Harris' commitment of putting the economic and energy security of the American people first with actions that steadied prices at the pump, provided certainty to industry, and maintained the SPR as the world's largest supply of emergency crude oil."

The last purchase contracts of the Biden-Harris administration for the SPR were awarded Nov. 7.

President Biden used 180 million barrels from the reserve using an emergency declaration following Russia' invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

According to DOE, the release was done to "address the significant global supply disruption caused by Putin's war on Ukraine and help keep the domestic market well supplied, ultimately helping to bring down prices for American consumers and businesses."

According to the Treasury Department, the oil releases from the SPR combined with coordinated releases from U.S. partners, reduced gasoline prices by as much as 40 cents per gallon.

The DOE announced in July that the 180 million barrels sold from the SPR were replenished when 140 million barrels were secured by working with Congress to cancel previously mandated sales.

PA voter registration champ Pressler pledges to help N.J. Republicans ahead of 2025 gubernatorial race

Scott Pressler, the famously tall and long-haired Republican activist credited with helping Pennsylvania Republicans dramatically dcrease their voter registration gap in 2024, is now pledging to ply his talents for the Garden State in 2025.

New Jersey shocked the political world by posting only a 5-point Harris victory margin last week. No Republican presidential nominee has carried the state since 1988, and President Trump came the closest of any GOP nominee since 1992. In the run-up to Election 2024, New Jersey Republicans saw their voter registration deficit with Democrats shrink from well-over one million to just a hair above 900,000 with very little effort expended by the state GOP establishment.

On Election Day, New Jersey Republicans flipped multiple counties (including heavily-Hispanic and Muslim Passaic County in North Jersey) as well as working class enclaves like Cumberland and Atlantic counties in South Jersey.

Pressler’s organization – earlyvoteaction.com – is credited with helping flip key Pennslyvania counties (notably Bucks) from blue to red.

“I make a commitment right here & now that we will be registering new Republican voters in New Jersey & commit time in 2025 to the gubernatorial election,” Pressler tweeted on X.
