ALLEGED CCP AGENTS CAUGHT TRYING TO CONTAMINATE U.S. FOOD SUPPLY. The FBI just confirmed that U.S. authorities prevented a terrorist act by two alleged CCP agents who smuggled a toxic fungus into a Michigan lab that could have contaminated and destroyed the U.S. food supply and disrupt American food production, causing food shortages and possible sickness throughout the country.
Two individuals were arrested. Yunqing Jian and her boyfriend Zunyong Liu. Yunqing is alleged to have smuggled the dangerous fungus called “Fusarium graminearum,” which is an agroterrorism agent, into the U.S. to research at the University of Michigan, where the CCP agent gained access through her employment at the university.
The globalists and the CCP are going after our food supply. You control the food, you control the people. There are no coincidences as to why Bill Gates, Black Rock, and the CCP own enormous amounts of farmland in and outside of the United States.
The remote targeting and detonation of the pagers and walkie-talkies used by Hezbollah terrorists has shaken security experts around the globe. What else might be targeted, they muse?
Well, obviously enough, distributed wind and solar power generation systems which are all connected to the Internet (in one way or another) provide pretty decent targets for malign foreign actors keen to wreck their enemies’ power supply. But, what really has them excited, is the ability to set off the lithium-ion batteries used to store the power occasionally generated by wind turbines and solar panels.
Their explosive power and thermodynamic properties are well-known. And they hardly need much encouragement to burst into toxic fireballs, that burn for days and which are impossible to extinguish. Thermal runaway events happen all by themselves.
As the team from Jo Nova details below, with hundreds of thousands of batteries installed all over this country, we have set ourselves up as the perfect target for enemy hacker attacks.
What if a foreign hacker could turn home batteries into “pager-bombs” but 7,500 times bigger? Jo Nova Blog Jo Nova 24 September 2024
You think exploding pagers was a wicked trick….
Hypothetically, suppose you were distracted while you tried to change tropospheric jet streams, and accidentally gave away your national manufacturing to a foreign adversary. Next thing you know, you’re buying the batteries they make, and installing them in essential grid infrastructure and thousands of homes. You’re patting yourself on the back for getting a cheap deal (never mind the slaves) and it all seems dandy until one sunny day, a leader who was cheesed off with a trade deal, quietly switched off the “overcharge protection” on all of them remotely.
At that point, millions of solar panels are pumping excess electricity into batteries that have no safety cut off. A few houses start to go off like popcorn, and an hour later we’re all living at the Western Front.
Brian Craighead – chief executive of Energy Renaissance, has come to warn us — it’s a hidden threat to national security. He says Australia has already installed 220,000 batteries that were made in potentially unfriendly places, and each home battery has roughly 7,500 times as much energy as a pager. As he remarks: “overcharge is when all hell breaks loose”.
Now, he happens to sell secure battery management systems — so he has an interest in scaring the socks off Energy Ministers and hyping things up, but ask yourself this: would Anthony Albanese have seen this coming?
To ask the question is to know we’re in trouble.
Energy entrepreneur says Australia’s solar and battery boom is a ‘clear and present danger’ By Jared Lynch, The Australian
“When everyone talks about battery safety, we tend to think about the chemical stuff – these fires that you see on videos of Tesla cars going up. But those are relatively unusual. The key thing to focus on is battery software … that’s what protects them from overcharging.
“Let’s say you were a bad actor from a bad country, here’s what you could do, and this would be horribly easy. For example, you could say on January 7, 2025, I’m going to turn off the overcharge on 200,000 batteries installed in homes in Australia. Nothing is going to happen until then.”
It would make a great movie, but a lousy life:
“A co-ordinated attack exploiting these vulnerabilities could lead to widespread fires, explosions, and a crippling of our energy infrastructure. The risk extends beyond individual homes. Large, imported grid-connected batteries are becoming integral to Australia’s national energy grid. These massive storage systems, often managed by foreign-developed software, could be susceptible to cyber-attacks or sabotage, posing a threat to national security and public safety.
“There’s a clear and present danger.”
As Craighead says (so colorfully) — it’s like pink-batts on steroids. (A program here in Australia where a Big Government-made bubble in home insulation killed 3 poorly trained people and set fire to 200 homes.)
In the end, after the bombs and the blackouts, the hit to the GDP and the death toll — it will all be deemed a dreadful accident, due to a fault in a minor part, and a hot day caused by climate change. Everyone will know what happened, but no one will want to risk the lobster-wine-coal-barley-beer-students deal, and besides the nation needs to order new fridges and solar panels.
Unless, of course the home-battery-bombs were a decoy in a larger hostile plan, in which case we’ll have bigger things to worry about.
Speaking of which:

Former House Democrat Tulsi Gabbard appears to have thrown herself into consideration for secretary of state or defense secretary in a potential Donald Trump administration.
Gabbard, who has reportedly met with the Trump campaign in recent months, was asked on the Wisconsin-based radio show The Regular Joe Show on Thursday whether there was “one thing” she could do that “would be serving the country in the best way possible” if Trump is elected president.
“I think there are a few different ways I could serve, as secretary of state, secretary of defense. There are a few different ways I believe I could best serve our country,” she said.
“Ultimately, we’ve got to save our country and win this election. I look forward to finding the best way that I can do that,” she added.
Gabbard endorsed Joe Biden after she dropped out of the Democratic primary race in 2020, and then left the Democratic Party in 2022.
Within eight years, Gabbard has moved from being an ally for Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign to a Democratic presidential candidate to a right-wing influencer who has filled in as a host on Tucker Carlson’s former Fox News show, making appearances at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago compound.
After leaving Congress and the Democratic Party, Gabbard has been a frequent guest on right-wing media platforms and at the Conservative Political Action Conference, sandwiched between speeches from far-right personalities and elected officials.
She has repeatedly expressed her interest in serving as Trump’s vice president in several interviews, including on Donald Trump Jr.’s podcast. Last week, while promoting her book For Love of Country: Leave the Democrat Party Behind, Gabbard told supporters in California that she would be “honored” to be named Trump’s running mate.
Gabbard, an independent, hasn’t ruled out formally joining the Republican Party. “I never say never,” she told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel this week while traveling across Wisconsin to promote her book.
“We need leaders, whether you’re a Democrat or Republican or independent, whatever the label, political label that is attached to you, to put the interests of our country and the American people first and foremost,” she said.
Russia’s Kazan nuclear submarine and the Admiral Gorshkov frigate arrived in Cuba on Wednesday morning as part of a five-day stopover to the communist nation, placing the fleet within 90 miles of the U.S. coastline.
According to the Russian government, the Navy vessel and the submarine — both equipped with long-range attack missiles — are in the region to engage in aerial and naval exercises carried out by the Russian Navy. The pair are accompanied by the Russian Nikolai Chiker tug boat and the Pashin fuel ship.
The arrival of the Russian vessels and nuclear submarine was first mentioned by unnamed U.S. government sources in reports published earlier in June. In the reports, the U.S. sources stated that the vessels’ visit would include “port calls in Cuba and possibly Venezuela.”
The Cuban Foreign Ministry confirmed the visit on June 6, calling it in line with the “historic friendly relations between Cuba and the Russian Federation and is strictly in accordance with international regulations to which Cuba is a state party.” The Castro regime also claimed that none of the vessels are nuclear weapons carriers, “so their stopover in our country does not represent a threat to the region.”

According to the sources cited by initial reports on the visit, the administration of President Joe Biden is not concerned by the exercises and believes they “pose no direct threat to the United States.”
The vessels, which reportedly arrived in Havana on Wednesday morning, were saluted by Castro regime armed forces officials, Russian diplomatic personnel, Russian tourists, and local Cubans.
The Russian state-run TASS news agency reported on Wednesday that the fleet “completed its exercise on the use of precision weapons prior to its arrival to Havana.”
The Russian Defense Ministry said:
On the Day of Russia, the Northern Fleet naval group, which includes the Admiral Gorshkov Frigate, the Kazan nuclear submarine cruise, the Akademik Pashin medium tanker and the Nikolay Chiker rescue tugboat, arrived with an unofficial visit to the port of Havana of the Republic of Cuba. Several hours before entering the capital port of the Republic of Cuba, the naval group completed its exercise on the use of precision missile weapons.
Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov claimed on Thursday that other countries “should not worry” about Russia’s military exercises.
“Military exercises are a normal practice, [conducting training exercises] in various regions is also a normal practice for all states, especially for such a major naval power as the Russian Federation,” Peskov said, asserting that “such visits are also a common practice.”
“Therefore, we do not see any reason for concern [from other countries] in this case,” Peskov continued.

Pentagon Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh said on Wednesday that the United States is monitoring the presence of the Russian vessels, claiming that the exercises “do not pose a threat” to the United States.
“We’ve been tracking the Russians’ plans for this. This is not a surprise. We’ve seen them do this — these type of port calls before, and these are, you know, routine naval visits that we’ve seen under different administrations,” Singh said.
“We’re always, constantly going to monitor any foreign vessels operating near U.S. territorial waters. We of course take it seriously, but these exercises don’t pose a threat to the United States.” she continued.
White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said on Wednesday that the visit of Russian vessels to the port of Havana is “something we have seen before” and that deployments of that nature to Cuba had taken place under previous administrations:
It’s something we watch closely, carefully. It’s something that we went out publicly on several days before it happened so the world would understand the context and the world would also know that we are watching. And so, we will see how this unfolds in the coming days.
“But we have seen this kind of thing before, and we expect to see this kind of thing again. And I’m not going to read into any particular motives — here are elements in this one that are different, that are distinct,” he continued. “But fundamentally, the notion that Russia takes a — some of its Russian naval assets and does a port visit to Havana is something we have seen before.”
Sullivan asserted that the U.S. government has not seen any kind of transfer of missiles taking place during the visit, pointing out that “Cubans have gone out with their own statements reinforcing that that is not happening.”
“Of course, we don’t necessarily literally take the Cubans’ word for it, but we, through our own means, have not seen anything to that extent and do not expect anything like that to occur,” Sullivan said.
(StraightNews.org) – An Ohio law enforcement officer has warned that terror attacks could occur in small towns across America. Sheriff Richard K. Jones of Butler County attended the National Sheriffs’ Association’s Winter Conference in Washington, DC, and heard from FBI Director Christopher Wray, who said America’s heartland could be the next terrorist target.
Speaking to conservative commentator Glenn Beck, Mr. Jones cited the example of a small Pennsylvania town that was shocked to discover that Iranian terrorists had targeted its water supply in a cyberattack because it used equipment manufactured in Israel.
The Aliquippa Water Authority in western Pennsylvania endured an international cyber assault last year by a group known as Cyber Av3ngers, which took control of one of the authority’s stations. Matthew Mottes, the chairman of the authority, said a cyber attack by Iranian-backed hackers was the very last he expected to happen in his small town.
Nonetheless, the FBI is warning that it could become more and more common. Christopher Wray has consistently stated that hacking is the future of terrorism and cited China as a specific danger. He said the systems that make everyday life function will increasingly be targeted and said the consequences could be catastrophic, given the interconnectedness of such systems.
During Congressional testimony in January, Mr. Wray stated that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its ability to take down American infrastructure is the “defining threat of our generation.” Republican Rep. Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin, chairman of the House select committee on the Chinese Communist Party, said China’s hacking potential is the equivalent of placing bombs on American bridges that are poised to go off in the event of a conflict between China and US-ally Taiwan.
Wray told the committee that the FBI has enjoyed several successes in preventing attacks by China and other adversaries but added that the United States must remain vigilant in a world where Chinese influence is helping reshape the geopolitical landscape.

There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true. —Soren Kierkegaard. "...truth is true even if nobody believes it, and falsehood is false even if everybody believes it. That is why truth does not yield to opinion, fashion, numbers, office, or sincerity--it is simply true and that is the end of it" - Os Guinness, Time for Truth, pg.39. “He that takes truth for his guide, and duty for his end, may safely trust to God’s providence to lead him aright.” - Blaise Pascal. "There is but one straight course, and that is to seek truth and pursue it steadily" – George Washington letter to Edmund Randolph — 1795. We live in a “post-truth” world. According to the dictionary, “post-truth” means, “relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief.” Simply put, we now live in a culture that seems to value experience and emotion more than truth. Truth will never go away no matter how hard one might wish. Going beyond the MSM idealogical opinion/bias and their low information tabloid reality show news with a distractional superficial focus on entertainment, sensationalism, emotionalism and activist reporting – this blogs goal is to, in some small way, put a plug in the broken dam of truth and save as many as possible from the consequences—temporal and eternal. "The further a society drifts from truth, the more it will hate those who speak it." – George Orwell “There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.” ― Soren Kierkegaard
