The 52-page report, released on Sept. 12, was a joint venture between the Republican-controlled House Homeland Security Committee and the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party.

It follows questions from congressional and Senate leaders in the spring surrounding the use of communication equipment discovered on Chinese-manufactured cranes.

The report detailed the rising threat to the U.S. maritime supply chain and national security posed by Chinese-made equipment that could be accessed by Beijing’s military.

The CCP mandates that Chinese companies cooperate with state intelligence agencies.

A joint statement about the report from Reps. John Moolenaar (R-Mich.), Mark Green (R-Tenn.), and Carlos Gimenez (R-Fla.) said the United States was risking its economic security for short-term financial gain by purchasing Chinese equipment for U.S. infrastructure.

“We have given the CCP the ability to track the movement of goods through our ports or even halt port activity at the drop of a hat,” they stated.

“Amid China’s aggression in the Indo-Pacific, our greatest geopolitical adversary could wield this power to influence global military and commercial activity in the event of escalation.”

The U.S. maritime sector is “dangerously reliant” on equipment and technology that has been manufactured and assembled in China, such as ship-to-shore cranes and container handling equipment, according to the report.

With financial support from Beijing, state-controlled Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industry Co. (ZPMC) dominates the global maritime equipment and technology market, the report said.

Retired Army Col. John Mills previously told The Epoch Times that the cranes are believed to be an extension of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP’s) global cybercrime operation, which could be used to disrupt U.S. ports during an invasion of Taiwan.

“Those container cranes are not cranes,” Col. Mills said. “They’re IP endpoints on a worldwide intelligence collection system.”

The report also noted that Chinese state-owned enterprises, including ZPMC, have made concerted efforts to increase their influence through underpricing equipment and technology, making it more attractive than their competitors.

ZPMC equipment company accounts for nearly 80 percent of the ship-to-shore cranes used by U.S. ports.

Cargo cranes are necessary for the U.S. maritime sector to conduct international trade and military logistical operations during a military conflict.
The report found concerns with ZPMC, which has publicly denied being a cybersecurity threat to the United States.

One problem noted in the document was that ZPMC or its contractors installed cellular modems onto cranes that are currently operational at certain U.S. ports. No contract to install these modems exists.

ZPMC has repeatedly requested remote access to its cranes operating at U.S. ports, with a particular focus on those located on the West Coast, the report said.

That could give China’s military access to the cranes.

Another issue is that ZPMC’s contract requires that all non-ZPMC crane components be shipped to “Changxing Base” in China by third-party companies, such as Sweden, Germany, and Japan.

There, they are installed by ZPMC engineers without oversight from the original manufacturer, raising red flags, according to the report.

The installation of components takes place at or near the Jiangnan Shipyard, where the People’s Liberation Army Navy builds its most advanced warships and houses its intelligence agencies, it noted.

Another potential problem was that contracts between ZPMC and U.S. ports do not contain provisions prohibiting or limiting unauthorized modifications or access to equipment and technology bound for U.S. ports.

The report recommended quick action on removing or disassembling any connection to cellular modems on Chinese-made cranes.

It called for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to issue guidance to all U.S. ports using ZPMC cranes to install operational technology monitoring software.

The report also stated that the United States should help provide cybersecurity and port security to Guam, a strategic U.S. ally in the Pacific.

Midterm goals outlined in the report include congressional action to allocate grant money to ports to offset the cost of buying more expensive cranes made by non-adversarial nations.

The United States does not manufacture its own maritime cranes and container equipment, leaving it vulnerable. Manufacturing cranes in America should be a long-term goal, the report stated.

Potential military threats to U.S. seaports stemming from China came to light in February 2021.

The report, citing media accounts, noted that the FBI discovered intelligence-gathering equipment on Chinese cargo cranes that arrived at the Port of Baltimore.

That same year, the Defense Intelligence Agency reportedly conducted a classified assessment, finding that Beijing could potentially throttle port traffic or gather intelligence on military equipment being shipped.

In February 2023, the FBI’s Office of the Private Sector issued an advisory highlighting indicators of malicious Chinese activity in the U.S. maritime sector, including unusual visits and unusually low bids or quotes to supply port equipment and services.

In January, FBI Director Christopher Wray said during a congressional hearing that Chinese Volt Typhoon malware embedded in critical infrastructure throughout the United States had been removed.

Wray said the malware was designed to disrupt and destroy U.S. infrastructure, which would likely be coordinated should a conflict break out between the two nations.

In February, President Joe Biden issued an executive order allowing DHS to address maritime cyber threats and establish cybersecurity standards to secure the networks and systems of U.S. ports.

Independent journalist Sharyl Attkisson has been on a quest to expose the massive illegal spy operations against U.S. citizens, including her. She had a breakthrough in her case when she exposed an informant for U.S. Attorney Rod Rosenstein, an agent who admitted spying on her computer. A week after releasing the information, that informant was dead.

According to her Tweet:

I wish I were making this up. In my ongoing lawsuit over the govt. spying on my computers, I submitted this document to the court. It proved that one agent who admitted spying on me (and many others) had, indeed, worked as an informant for US Atty. Rod Rosenstein, as he’d claimed.

About a week later, the informant was reported dead. Which of course means he can’t provide more details of the operation. And the historic clerk’s default I received against him in my lawsuit– the first known such decision in a case of govt. spying on a journalist–pretty much will go nowhere.

As journalist Emerald Robinson asked, “What are the odds?”

Apparently, the odds are pretty good that if you can expose government corruption and put the wrong people in the hot seat of justice, you could be taken out. Anyone with information that can be used against the powerful needs to watch their six because in our post-truth society, nobody is safe.

The ADL’s goal with this AI spying operation is to catch players who engage in “toxic speech,” “hate speech,” “discriminatory language, harassment and more,” reports indicate.

According to Infowars‘ Alex Jones, this high-tech invasion of privacy “signals the birth of a totalitarian regime that would make Hitler’s Nazis envious.”

“So, the Alexa in your house is listening to you, the Google assistants are, and it turns out the ADL basically programs it and controls it,” Jones explained in a recent segment on “The Alex Jones Show” – watch the video below to learn more.

“It’s the most Nazi thing I’ve ever seen. The Nazis surveilled people, censored people, boycotted people, put Jews and other people in ghettos, wouldn’t let them have businesses, they de-banked the Jews.”

(Related: Remember back in 2018 when the ADL lied about the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, claiming that alleged shooter Nikolas de Jesus Cruz was a member of a far-right “white nationalist” militia group?)

In the name of fighting “antisemitism,” the globalists are constructing a full-fledged totalitarian police state that is always watching and always listening

Since the ADL is Jewish-run, existing for the sole stated purpose of fighting “all forms of antisemitism and bias, using innovation and partnerships to drive impact,” this would seem to be a flipping of the script compared to what happened during World War II.

As we march ever-closer to full-blown World War III, the ADL is actively constructing a totalitarian police state to try to stop people from saying mean things about Jews, using AI as its digital enforcement army.

“It’s a globalist crime syndicate,” Jones says about the ADL and its partners. “It’s a mafia that simply hides the entire ‘new world order’ takeover behind a civil rights organization.”

No longer are the free speech haters simply going after what they consider to be “hate” speech, which in and of itself is a misnomer. Now they want to put an end to all “toxic” speech, whatever that means.

According to Jones, the ADL is a “multinational Mossad-CIA-Mi6 group that has private intelligence officers in most police departments, even in small towns.”

“They put in a lot of the judges and their job is converting America to absolute tyranny. They’re heavily involved with the new UN treaty, which ends free speech as we know it.”

After purchasing Twitter, taking it private, and turning it into “X,” Elon Musk started the lengthy process of uncovering everything the ADL and other deep state organizations have been doing for years to control what gets said and shared on social media.

Via the Twitter Files, Musk has been dropping bombshell after bombshell, and more recently announced that his company has no choice but to sue the ADL for defamation, based on what has been uncovered.

“They discovered internally that the ADL was basically running Twitter as a go-between for the FBI and the CIA,” Jones says. “Musk has promised to release those documents next week. A lot of them have already come out in Congress – this is totally illegal.”

It would seem as though the ADL’s days are numbered. Musk has come out swinging ever since his Twitter takeover, and he appears to be leaving no stone unturned when it comes to holding every member of the Censorship Industrial Complex accountable for assaulting the First Amendment.

The ADL is a toxic organization that must be abolished to preserve Americans’ constitutional rights. Learn more at FirstAmendment.news.

Meta has acknowledged the discovery of several clusters of fake accounts and pages believed to be linked to individuals “associated with the US military,” according to the company’s latest adversarial threat report published this week according to a report by RT. The U.S. ruling class has been trying to control and brainwash the public into compliance with their enslavement for decades. This isn’t news, except, Meta is now admitting it.

“Although the people behind this operation attempted to conceal their identities and coordination, our investigation found links to individuals associated with the US military,” the company said in a blog post on Tuesday.

The influence campaign was discovered earlier this year and in total Meta removed 39 Facebook and 26 Instagram accounts, as well as 16 pages and two groups, all for violating the company’s policy against “coordinated inauthentic behavior.”

The social media giant admitted that the large-scale operation ran beyond those several dozen accounts and across many other internet platforms, including Twitter, YouTube and Telegram – as well as major Russian social networks VKontakte and Odnoklassniki. It seemingly attempted to downplay the discovery by insisting that the “majority of this operation’s posts had little to no engagement from authentic communities” and highlighting similar “deceptive campaigns”by China and Russia.-RT

Meta’s acknowledgment substantiates a bombshell investigation by the Washington Post that revealed the Pentagon was forced to launch a “sweeping audit of how it conducts clandestine information warfare,” after a variety of social media accounts, which its operatives used to target foreign audiences in elaborate psychological warfare efforts, were exposed.

The ruling class will stop at nothing to ensure complete compliance and total enslavement of humanity. We need to continue to be aware of what they are doing as a way to cement and expand their own power. If they can no longer control the narrative and the flow of information, they will lose and they know it.

Meta is pretending to be the innocent victim in this, but they knew what was going on and what the ruling class is doing to its subjects. They have been guilty of all kinds of censorship and we know they are working with the masters to keep the slaves distracted, deceived, and divided.

He noted that at Saturday’s rally when he talked about spying on political campaigns. The left and Deep State spied on his campaign non-stop, especially during his first run under the guidance of Barack Obama. Trump asked if we could imagine had he spied on Obama. He said they would have given him the death penalty.

He’s not wrong. These various two-tiered systems mostly focus on dividing the nation between America First patriots and everyone else. Trump is just the biggest prize they’re going after now.

Entitled “Measuring Web Cookies in Governmental Websites,” the paper, which was funded by the European Research Council (ERC), the European Union (EU), and the Spanish government, explains that government websites are basically being used as “a single point of monitoring and tracking for the entire population of a country” using web cookies.

Researchers looked at three different types of websites, including the official governmental websites of “G20” countries around the world; websites of international organizations such as the United Nations; and popular websites used by the public for Fauci Flu tracking and information. They looked at each site’s use of cookies and came to the conclusion that upwards of 90 percent of government websites “create cookies of third-party trackers without any consent from users.”

“Web cookies have been exploited to collect information about users’ online activities and interests,” the paper explains (Related: The Transportation Security Administration [TSA] also spies on air travelers).

“Non-session cookies, that are created by trackers and can last for days or months, are widely present even in countries with strict user privacy laws. We also show that the above is a problem for official websites of international organizations and popular websites that inform the public about the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Here’s a tip: don’t visit any government COVID websites in the first place and you won’t be tracked

The world’s largest economies, in other words, are engaging in undisclosed and potentially illegal spying and surveillance schemes via official government websites that the public uses to learn about COVID and engage in other forms of propaganda consumption.

Of the 5,550 governmental websites and more than 118,000 URLs administrated by governments, more than 50 percent of their cookies belong to third parties, while anywhere from 10-90 percent originates from known trackers.

“Most of these cookies have a life span of more than a day and many an expiration time of a year or more,” the study reveals.

Roughly 60 percent of government websites use at least one third-party cookie while 95 percent, or nearly all, of them, are creating cookies without user consent. Third-party cookies, by the way, are “known to be tracking users for data collection purposes,” the study explains.

Government websites about the Chinese Virus are the worst offenders, as 99 percent contain hidden cookies that were placed there without user consent.

“For example, the very popular website with global maps about the COVID-19 cases, maintained by Johns Hopkins University, add cookies from 7 trackers,” the paper further reads.

“All the other Top 10 websites are official national information websites in European countries that have three trackers or more. The American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is also in the Top 10, with cookies associated with three trackers.”

It used to be that this type of thing only occurred in overtly communist countries such as China, which leads the way in totalitarianism. As of late, however, the United States and other Western powers appear to be emulating the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) model by imposing “social credit score”-type systems in their respective countries.

The Fauci Flu quickly became a catchall excuse to invade people’s privacy, force certain restrictive behaviors, and even commit medical rape in the form of mandatory masking and “vaccination.”

It turns out that even on the web the government is violating people’s rights and tracking their behavior without permission. The full scope of why the government wants to track people’s online behavior has yet to come into view.
