MSNBC asked Brennan about the new Russiagate documents and the DOJ’s strike force team assembled to investigate the hoax.

 

Brennan nervously replied, “Putting together an internal strike force to take a look at this information is certainly understandable, but I also like to think that the professionals at the Department of Justice will dismiss any of these [criminal] referrals because they are baseless because they really are. So, I stand ready to talk about the assessment and what we did during that period of time.”

 

“There was absolutely no conspiracy and we continue to stand behind what we said publicly,” Brennan said.

 

MSNBC asked Brennan on Thursday if he’s “worried” that he will be punished for his role in the Russiagate after the DOJ created a ‘strike force’ to investigate the coup plotters.

 

“Well, I guess they’re going to what they’re going to do,” Brennan said. “I just feel as though what we did was right. It was legitimate. It was based on our authorities and responsibilities. We would have been derelict if we didn’t do these things.”

 

To be clear, Brennan is arguing that the intel community would have been ‘derelict’ if they didn’t take Hillary Clinton’s phony Russia dossier and open an investigation into then-candidate Donald Trump and then continue to spy on him while he was US President.

U.S.-sanctioned Chinese Tech Giant Huawei Headhunts Israeli Hackers

 

Huawei seeks top Israeli talent with experience in exploits research and offensive cyber. Experts warn: It's legal – but could lead to sensitive knowledge leaking to China and even Iran

 

Chinese tech giant Huawei is actively recruiting Israeli software engineers with expertise in exploit research – the practice of identifying weaknesses in digital systems – and offensive cyber capabilities.

While the jobs advertised are officially for defensive cybersecurity roles, Huawei's push to attract top talent from the Israeli cyber industry, many of whom have served in elite IDF cyber units, has drawn sharp criticism.

Cyber and intelligence experts who spoke to Haaretz warned that sensitive know-how could ultimately reach China through the Chinese corporation.

 

Huawei is under U.S. sanctions due to its alleged ties to the Chinese government and intelligence agencies. Israeli experts say even if such know-how is used only for defensive purposes in China, it could eventually be shared with Iran, given the two countries' close defense cooperation.

A telecommunications giant, Huawei produces phones and tablets, develops digital and physical infrastructure and, in recent years, has expanded into artificial intelligence and operating systems.

Under U.S. sanctions, American firms and citizens are barred from working with Huawei or supplying it with technology. Americans may not work for Huawei in any capacity – even as external consultants or freelancers – and U.S. companies are prohibited from providing products or services to the company or any of its subsidiaries, including in the field of cybersecurity.

 

Despite these restrictions, Huawei operates globally, with a large R&D center in India and a growing presence in several European capitals and across the Middle East. In Israel, it employs several hundred people at offices in Haifa and Hod Hasharon through its local subsidiary, Toga Networks. The company's Israeli operation focuses on research and development, specifically in advanced software technologies, including AI and cybersecurity.

'Military background a plus'

These technological sectors lie at the heart of the ongoing geopolitical battle between China and the United States – a conflict that has become increasingly open and direct.

It first came to the fore during Donald Trump's presidency, when the U.S. imposed sanctions on Huawei and other Chinese firms, pulling previously benign tech activities into the national security arena.

The sanctions, later expanded by the Biden administration, effectively cut Huawei off from the U.S. tech ecosystem, including software giants like Google, Microsoft and Amazon, even for basic services such as operating systems and browsers.

Forced to develop its own platforms, Huawei ramped up internal R&D. Losing access to Google's Android also meant losing its built-in cybersecurity protections, pushing the company to develop its own security systems for its devices. With Silicon Valley off-limits, Huawei began looking elsewhere – including Israel.

Reviews of job listings and conversations with local headhunters show Huawei has been recruiting cybersecurity professionals in Israel for years, including for its "elite" defensive team based locally. In one LinkedIn post, an Israeli researcher currently employed at Huawei said the company was seeking "vulnerability researchers" and those with experience in "exploits."

Not Blackwater or Wagner, Americans in Gaza are 100% mercenaries

 

There is a difference, and what is going on today will lead us to a much darker place

 

Americans working for a little known U.S.-based private military contractor have begun to come forward to media and members of Congress with charges that their work has involved using live ammunition for crowd control and other abusive measures against unarmed civilians seeking food at controversial food distribution sites run by the Global Humanitarian Fund (GHF) in Gaza.

 

UG Solutions was hired by the GHF to secure and deliver food into Gaza. The GHF, with the help of the PMCs claims to have provided nearly 100 million meals to Gaza. Israel put GHF in control of what used to be the UN-led aid mission.

 

The UN, however, has called the new model an "abomination" which “provides nothing but starvation and gunfire to the people of Gaza,” referring to the 1000 Gazans who have been killed near or at the GHF centers since May. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have been accused of shooting and shelling unarmed civilians. The American contractors say they have witnessed it and have been told to use live ammunition in their own crowd control efforts

 

UG Solutions is one of two American contracting outfits working at the food centers. Both have vehemently denied the contractors’ claims, as has the IDF. The GHF has also put out extensive responses calling the charges categorically false.

 

Needless to say this raises a ton of questions about the use of American contractors in this particular conflict zone, but also about who they are. From all available information about UG Solutions, they are not operating under the banner, nor protection, of a U.S. agency contract, but of a foreign entity. This expansion of scope, I contend, makes UG Solutions a full-fledged mercenary organization and takes the industry down a very dark path.

Donald Trump accuses other nations, including Australia, of ‘freeloading’

 

With his tariff deadline hours away, Donald Trump has lashed out at “freeloaders” – a category that, in his view, includes Australia.

 

With Donald Trump’s tariff deadline looming, he has taken aim specifically at countries that negotiate lower prices with America’s drug companies, such as Australia.

 

In letters sent to the bosses of 17 drug companies today, Mr Trump complained about “foreign freeloading nations”, and told the businesses to drive a harder bargain.

 

He wants “most faovured nation” status for the United States, which would require other countries, like Australia, to pay at least as much as Americans for their drugs.

 

Our Pharamaceutical Benefits Scheme sees the government negotiate with drug companies to secure relatively low prices. This has been a point of contention for the US government.

Israel Gives Hamas Annexation Ultimatum Despite Increased Criticism From West

 

Israeli officials have reportedly warned Hamas that if it rejects the latest ceasefire proposal, Israel will begin annexing parts of Gaza, according to a fresh Times of Israel report.

 

The report cites Israel's Channel 12 which indicated Israel submitted its response to Hamas's latest counteroffer on Tuesday night, but does not expect the group to accept the terms. Already talks based in Doha had been stalled or essentially called off, after Prime Minister Netanyahu earlier this month recalled his negotiating team.

 

Israeli forces have established and for many months overseen a de facto 'buffer zone' in Gaza which cuts deep into the Palestinian territory.

 

"Israel will not be patient for much longer," a senior Israeli official was quoted in the report as saying.

 

The Times of Israel report spells out, "With negotiations for a ceasefire and hostage release deal having stalled, Israel has sent a message to Hamas that if it doesn’t accept the proposal on the table in the coming days, Jerusalem will begin to take punitive measures against it, including the annexation of territory on Gaza’s outer perimeter," citing senior Israeli officials.

 

As for specifics on where this threatened annexation could begin, the report says:

 

According to the report, Israel told Hamas that it will not leave the Phildelphi Corridor along the Gaza-Egypt border or the buffer zone around the Gaza border; will not allow the opening of the Rafah Crossing; and will not agree to Hamas demands for a prisoner release so far-reaching it will leave few bargaining chips in Jerusalem’s hands to compel Hamas to release the last batch of hostages in a potential ceasefire.

 

This would effectively ensure that remaining hostages wouldn't be returned through a deal, as Israel would shut the door on having anything more to offer in terms of enticing Hamas to reach a new exchange agreement.

 

Channel 12 has observed of the US stance that there is currently "no appetite" within the White House to approve any big Israeli move to formally annex parts of Gaza.
