https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/just-grand-jury-subpoenas-brennan-lisa-page-peter/

…Fox News reported:

A federal grand jury has subpoenaed former CIA Director John Brennan, former FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, among others as part of the Justice Department’s investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia probe, Fox News Digital has learned.

Sources told Fox News Digital Brennan; Strzok, the FBI’s former deputy assistant director of counterintelligence; and Page, a former FBI lawyer, were served with federal subpoenas on Friday.

Law enforcement sources told Fox News Digital that up to 30 subpoenas will be issued in the coming days relating to the investigation.

The grand jury is out of the Southern District of Florida. U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida Jason Reding Quiñones is supervising the probe.

Fox News Digital first reported in July that Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey were under investigation.

Brennan was also separately referred for prosecution by House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan.

Chairman Jordan referred Brennan to the DOJ for knowingly making false statements during a May 2023 interview with the House Judiciary Committee.

WWII Vet Stuns UK TV Anchors by Telling Them the War Wasn’t Worth It – The Freedom He Fought for Is Gone

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/wwii-vet-stuns-uk-tv-anchors-telling-war/

A heartbreaking moment during an interview with a British World War II veteran shows that the older generation understands how grave the situation is in his country — the freedom he fought for is gone.

Good Morning Britain interviewed Alec Penstone, a 100-year-old man who once fought to protect his country from tyranny, on Friday morning. The interview was conducted ahead of Nov. 11’s Veterans Day or for the United Kingdom, Remembrance Day.

Penstone was asked what his message is as we approach it.

“The sacrifice wasn’t worth the result that it is now,” he told the room.

When asked to explain, Penstone added, “What we fought for was our freedom … now it’s a darn sight worse than when I fought for it.”

Host Kate Garraway tried to lift the veteran’s spirits by expressing her gratitude, but the expression on Penstone told the story of how he felt. Continue…

Scientist Convicted of Spying for China – Most Recent in Troubling Trend of Chinese Espionage

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/scientist-convicted-spying-china-most-recent-troubling-trend/

Ji Wang, 63, of Painted Post, New York, was convicted of two counts of economic espionage, one count of theft of trade secrets, and two counts of attempted espionage and theft. He faces up to 15 years in prison for each espionage charge and 10 years for theft, with sentencing scheduled for April 15, 2026.

Wang immigrated to the United States in 1998 to work for Corning Incorporated. From 2002 to 2007, he participated in a joint Corning–DARPA project developing optical fibers for high-powered laser weapons capable of destroying drones and missiles. On July 1, 2016, just ten days after applying for China’s Thousand Talents Plan, he stole hundreds of confidential files containing technical data that could allow replication of advanced fiber lasers.

Two months later, he was accepted into the program. Between 2014 and 2017, Wang also negotiated with Chinese government entities to start a specialty fiber business in China, seeking tens of millions in investment and emphasizing the technology’s military potential, claiming it could determine “victory or defeat” in war.

Between 2021 and 2024, the U.S. government reported more than sixty Chinese Communist Party–linked espionage incidents on American soil, with roughly 80 percent of economic espionage prosecutions and 60 percent of trade secret theft cases tied to China. During President Trump’s first term, U.S. investigators exposed the vast scale of China’s theft of American technology and intellectual property.

A 2018 report by the United States Trade Representative (USTR) documented systematic abuses, forced technology transfers, state-sponsored acquisitions, and cyber intrusions, costing the United States hundreds of billions of dollars annually. Continue…

Japanese Riot Police Authorized To Use Rifles To Cull Out-of-Control Bear Populations After Record Number of Attacks on Humans

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/japanese-riot-police-authorized-use-rifles-cull-control/

It’s open season on dangerous bears.

We have reported on how Japan was forced to mobilize police and military forces to tackle dangerous bear populations that caused over 70 attacks on human beings in the last month.

Initially, all reports were mentioning the work to ‘capture’ the beasts – but yesterday (5), the National Police Agency announced that they’ve ‘revised the rules’ to allow riot officers ‘to cull wild bears with rifles’.

EU Commission Mulls Joint Debt, Bilateral Grants To Plug Ukraine Funding Gap

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/eu-commission-mulls-joint-debt-bilateral-grants-plug-ukraine-funding-gap

The European Commission is considering plugging Ukraine’s colossal funding gap with cash raised from common EU debt and bilateral member state grants, according to three people familiar with the matter.

These two possibilities – which will be set out in a Commission “options paper” for Kyiv due to be circulated to capitals in the coming weeks – come in addition to the so-called “reparation loan” option.

The latter proposal seeks to use €140 billion worth of immobilised sovereign Russian assets held by Euroclear, a Brussels-based clearing house, to support Ukraine’s war effort and reconstruction.

The reparation loan is the Commission’s preferred option for supporting Ukraine despite Belgium’s refusal to back the scheme at a summit of EU leaders in Brussels in October, the sources said.

Many member countries – including Germany and the Baltic nations – share this sentiment.

Belgium successfully watered down last month’s Council conclusions, which ultimately tasked the Commission to draft “options” to support Kyiv’s financing needs that did not specifically mention making use of Russia’s assets, which were frozen after Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever has pledged to block the reparation loan scheme unless other member states share legal and financial risks associated with the loan, and other EU countries harness Russian sovereign assets held in their own jurisdictions alongside Belgium. Continue…

Cold Blast from Canada Threatens 100 Million Across Eastern U.S.

https://www.breitbart.com/weather/2025/11/07/cold-blast-from-canada-threatens-100-million-across-eastern-u-s/

A massive blast of cold weather is heading down from southwestern Canada and is expected to sweep across the eastern United States in the next few days.

The change of weather will roll out over the weekend into next week, hitting areas of the South and North, AccuWeather reported Thursday.

“Behind the storm, colder air will surge southward across the Plains and Mississippi Valley this weekend. The cold air will roll out of central Canada into this weekend and receive a further boost from a strengthening dip in the jet stream that is expected to develop by early next week,” the outlet said, noting that temperatures in areas that experience windy conditions could feel 10 to 20 degrees lower than the actual air temperature.

The plunging temperatures will affect more than 100 million people across the nation, per USA Today: Continue…

7-9 Florida Center Olivier Rioux Becomes Tallest Player in D1 History After College Debut

https://www.breitbart.com/sports/2025/11/07/7-9-florida-center-olivier-rioux-becomes-tallest-player-in-d1-history-after-college-debu/

Olivier Rioux, a 7-9 Canadian playing for the University of Florida, has become the tallest human being to ever play Division I college basketball after making his debut against North Florida Thursday night.

The game was hardly in doubt when Rioux came off the bench; the Gators had a 40-point lead with only 2:09 remaining. However, the roar of the crowd, chanting, “Rioux! Rioux!” compelled coaches to summon the giant redshirt freshman and send him out onto the NCAA hardwood for the first time in live game action.

The crowd roared again with approval after Rioux made his way to the scorer’s table.

It didn’t take North Florida players long to realize that an entirely different physical specimen had entered the game.

While Rioux’s debut made history, he did not produce a stat line, as he entered the game too late to register points, rebounds, blocks, etc.

Türkiye issues ‘genocide’ arrest warrant for Netanyahu

https://www.rt.com/news/627488-turkiye-netanyahu-arrest-warrant/

Ankara has accused dozens of Israeli officials of “systematic” crimes against civilians in Gaza

The Istanbul Prosecutor’s Office has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and 36 other senior officials for alleged genocide and crimes against humanity in the Gaza Strip, according to Turkish media.

Israel launched its military campaign in response to the Hamas-led raid on October 7, 2023, which killed around 1,200 people. The retaliatory strikes and ground operations have since killed over 68,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza’s health authorities.

The warrants, released by Istanbul’s Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office on Friday, accuse Israeli officials of participating in a “systematic” campaign of violence against civilians, including the bombing of the Turkish‑Palestinian Friendship Hospital and the obstruction of humanitarian relief efforts in Gaza.

EU to establish ‘Ministry of Truth’ – Guardian

https://www.rt.com/news/627490-eu-censorship-disinformation-center/

Brussels seeks to curb the spread of information it claims could “erode trust in democratic systems”

The European Union is planning to launch a centralized hub for monitoring and countering what it calls foreign “disinformation,” according to a leaked document seen by the Guardian. Critics have long warned that Brussels’ initiatives amount to the institutionalization of a censorship regime.

According to the European Commission proposal, set to be published on November 12, the so-called Centre for Democratic Resilience will function as part of a broader “democracy shield” strategy, pitched by Commission President Ursula von der Leyen ahead of the 2024 European elections.

Participation in the center will be voluntary, and the Commission has welcomed “like-minded partners” outside the bloc, including the UK and countries seeking accession.

The draft accuses Russia of escalating “hybrid attacks” by disseminating false narratives, while also pointing to China as another threat – alleging that Beijing uses PR firms and social media influencers to advance its interests across Europe. Continue…

US mercenary scammed in Ukraine ‘laser weapon’ fraud case – prosecutors

https://www.rt.com/russia/627476-us-mercenary-scammed-ukraine/

The American soldier of fortune was allegedly duped out of $85,000 with promises of a drone-killing device

An American mercenary fighting for Ukraine was scammed out of roughly $85,000 by two local men who claimed they could build him a laser weapon to destroy drones, the country’s Prosecutor General’s Office said on Friday.

To lend credibility to their claim, the suspects allegedly staged a fake demonstration of the supposed device, after which the unlucky soldier of fortune handed over the cash.

The suspects, who are said to have no technical expertise or plans to produce any weapon, have been charged with fraud. Around $20,000 has been recovered, prosecutors said, with efforts ongoing to retrieve the rest.

The case is one of several high-profile scams that have emerged amid the ongoing conflict. In one incident, scammers posing as a charitable foundation defrauded soldiers and a mercenary out of nearly $60,000 by promising vehicles and surveillance gear. Continue…

Hungary is a Christian government in EU ‘liberal ocean’ – Orban

https://www.rt.com/news/627487-hungary-christian-government-liberal-ocean/

Budapest is also the sole “pro-peace” EU nation that supports Washington’s efforts to resolve the Ukraine conflict, the prime minister added

Hungary is the only EU nation governed by a “modern Christian government,” Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said during a meeting with US President Donald Trump at the White House on Friday.

Orban is known for his staunch criticism of EU policies, including those related to the Ukraine conflict and migration, and has previously accused Brussels of turning the bloc into a symbol of weakness and chaos.

“We are a special island of difference in a liberal ocean in Europe,” he told journalists, adding that his cabinet pursues policies “different from what the others are doing even at the philosophical level, and at the level of practice as well.”

“We are the only government in Europe that considers itself a modern Christian government,” Orban stated. Continue…

Liberals chip away at federal bureaucracy with 40k planned job cuts

https://www.rebelnews.com/liberals_chip_away_at_federal_bureaucracy_with_40k_job_cuts

The government aims to curb operational spending growth from 8% to under 1% and improve program efficiency, partly via expanded AI use.

The federal government plans to cut 40,000 public service jobs (10%) by the end of fiscal year 2028-29, abandoning its election promise of attrition-only cuts. This move aims to slow government operational spending growth from 8% to under 1% and boost program efficiency, partly through expanded AI use.

The budget aims to cut public sector workers to 330,000 by 2028-29 — a reduction of 16,000 full-time positions — from a 2023-24 peak of 368,000, to achieve a "more sustainable level." Continue…

Brookfield execs ‘obstruct’ Parliament, dodge testimony on Carney's offshore tax havens

https://www.rebelnews.com/brookfield_execs_obstruct_parliament_dodge_testimony_on_carneys_offshore_tax_havens

Conservative MPs demand transparency on Prime Minister Carney’s Brookfield offshore investments amid allegations of tax evasion and conflicts of interest.

Conservative MPs persist in demanding information on Prime Minister Mark Carney's Brookfield investments, a request the Liberals continue to evade.

“Top executives at the Prime Minister’s company Brookfield are defying an order of this House to testify in committee about his use of offshore tax havens,” Conservative MP Michael Cooper told the House Friday afternoon, saying it was “tantamount to contempt of Parliament.”

“Will the Prime Minister pick up the phone and tell his pals at Brookfield to comply with the House order, or is he complicit in the cover-up?” Cooper asked, though he did not receive a direct response on the matter.

Carney was absent, so his parliamentary secretary, MP Rachel Bendayan, responded. Continue…

102-Year-Old Veteran Who Served With Secret Canadian Unit Shares His Story

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/102-year-old-veteran-who-served-with-secret-canadian-unit-shares-his-story-5939585?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=medium-0

World War II veteran Emilio (Mel) Mizzi has lived most of his long and storied life in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., but spent some of his most memorable years miles away intercepting enemy radio communications.

Mizzi was a 19-year-old working at Algoma Steel in Sault Ste. Marie when he decided to enlist in 1941.

“It was a good experience, and I was doing something for my country,” he said in a phone interview with The Epoch Times. “I liked the army and the army liked me.”

The young man spent his early days in the military working as a mechanic on vehicles. Mizzi aspired to be a paratrooper, but was turned down due to his high blood pressure. Asked why he wanted to jump out of an airplane, Mizzi joked, “Because it was quicker [to get] where you were going.”

But Mizzi would receive a special role nonetheless, when he was recruited to intercept and decrypt naval code messages radioed by the Japanese. He first took up this role with the Royal Canadian Signal Corps at No. 10 Area Signal Company in Vancouver. Later, he became one of just five orderly room personnel transferred to the No. 1 Special Wireless Group (1SWG), established in mid-1944. Continue…

Meet the IMF economist with a major influence on Mark Carney's big-spending ways

https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/meet-the-bulgarian-economist-with-a-major-influence-on-ottawas-big-spending-ways

Georgieva, a graduate of the Karl Marx Institute of Economics, is even quoted generously in the two-page foreword section of the federal budget

Who is Kristalina Ivanova Georgieva-Kinova? And how did she apparently convince the debt-ridden Canadian government to spend billions of dollars?

Georgieva-Kinova, or simply Georgieva as she is known professionally, is a Bulgarian economist who has been the managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for the last six years.

But unlike most 72-year-old eastern European technocrats, Georgieva seems in recent months to have had a profound influence on Canadian fiscal policy.

At almost every public stop in recent weeks, including Thursday’s post-budget event at an innovation hub in Toronto, Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne has referred to Georgieva’s apparent endorsement of the Canadian government’s policy directions, particularly its willingness to spend more.

During his opening remarks at the Toronto event, Champagne said he visited the IMF recently where Georgieva pointed to only two countries — Germany and Canada — that have the fiscal room to spend more on items such as infrastructure and housing.

Georgieva, a graduate of the Karl Marx Institute of Economics, is even quoted generously in the two-page foreword of the federal budget itself, saying that Canada “stands out” in the G7 for its decisiveness, including the way it has “modernized the budget framework — separating operating spending from investing, and focusing strategically on pro-growth investments that can lift up productivity.” Continue…
