US authorities have arrested a former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) officer accused of disclosing top secret information to China. The man could be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison if convicted.

Jerry Chun Shing Lee was detained Monday night after landing at John F. Kennedy International Airport. On Tuesday, the former CIA employee was "charged with unlawful retention of national defense information" by the Eastern District Court of New York. The judge ordered that Lee be held without bail.

US federal authorities accuse Lee of violating the terms of his top secret clearance and conditions of non-disclosure agreements he had signed with the agency he worked for from 1994 to 2007. Lee's disclosures reportedly led to a crackdown on the CIA's informants in China starting in 2010, the New York Times reported citing several former intelligence officials. The 53-year-old was at the center of a mole hunt for years.

Statements to the press by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs General Director for the United States, Josefina Vidal Ferreiro, in response to the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere hearing regarding alleged "sonic attacks" on U.S. diplomatic personnel in Havana

This morning, January 9, a hearing was held in the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere, organized by Republican Senator for Florida Marco Rubio and co-chaired by New Jersey Democrat Senator Robert Menendez, both with a vast record of work against better relations between Cuba and the United States, and the promoters of all kinds of legislative and political proposals that affect the interests of the Cuban and American peoples, and only benefit an increasingly isolated minority that has historically profited from attacks on Cuba.

From its very title "Attacks on U.S. Diplomats in Cuba," it was evident that the true purpose of this hearing, to which three high-ranking officials of the State Department were summoned, was not to establish the truth, but to impose by force and without any evidence an accusation that they have not been able to prove.

In a build-up prior the forthcoming general election in September 2018, the Swedish government is planning to set up a new authority responsible for psychological defense. The perennial and widely speculated upon "Russian threat" has once again been used as a bogeyman.

Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven, who presented the idea of a new authority tasked with the nation's psychological defense at the national People and Defense security conference, said it would safeguard the people's will for peace and resilience in times of war, as well as to ensure the public's right to accurate public information, deterring potential disinformation campaigns.

Comment: Sweden, like many other western nations suffering from mass hysteria, seems to be terrified that their citizens are unable to think for themselves and so are attempting to install a thought police unit to help them along. They are right, however, to warn their citizens to prepare for the worst, even the world's religious leaders are talking about the possible catastrophe's our world is facing:

Enough already! DHS Secretary asks to move on after four Democrats ask about Trump's "Shithole" comments

DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen expressed a desire to "move forward and discuss ways in which we can protect our country," during her testimony before the Judiciary Committee Tuesday after being asked for the fourth time about vulgar language reportedly used in an immigration meeting last week with President Trump. She was subsequently asked again about the language by Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI).

"At any point in that conversation on Thursday did the President of the United States use a four-letter word beginning with s in combination with other words or alone that you heard?" Sen. Blumenthal asked.

Comment: The Dems are just obsessed with the alleged "shithole" comment by Trump, to the point that they'd rather talk about that than important issues about threats to the country. And the idea that Nielsen's "silence and amnesia is complicity," - complicity in what? Complicity in using bad words? Enough already!

John Podesta is in the middle of Fusion GPS phony dossier investigation

John Podesta is one of the creepiest crooks in the DNC. It looks like Podesta is in hot water again as he is right in the middle of the fake Trump dossier.

Podesta has been around for a while and is remembered as the emcee of the Democrats' White House presser held right after Bill Clinton was impeached.

In 2016 John Podesta became famous again when his emails were released by WikiLeaks before the Presidential election. The emails showed the tremendous amount of fraud, collusion the media, lies and criminal acts surrounding the Hillary Clinton campaign. Podesta, the Head of the Clinton Campaign, had emails that showed money going to and from the Clinton Foundation from foreign nationals and more. (See a complete summary of Podesta emails here.)

Now it looks like Podesta is right in the middle of the fake dossier that was reportedly provided to the FISA court to request permission to spy on candidate Trump.

Comment: This matter is still up in the air. Although judge Richard Leon dismissed Fusion GPS's arguments for not providing the documents, he has been on the case only for a couple of months and is said to be a close friend of John Podesta.

For more on the meeting between Podesta and Glenn Simpson that was reported by The New York Times, see here.

How anti-Russian propaganda is subverting American democracy and the normalization of relations

It's a glaring contradiction that while US President Donald Trump has repeatedly voiced a desire for restoring friendly relations with Russia, the two countries stand even more frigidly apart than ever.

One year after Trump's inauguration as the 45th US president, several metrics indicate bilateral ties have actually deteriorated, despite Trump's oft-stated approval for better relations between Washington and Moscow.

Trump has said US cooperation with Russia should be seen as "an asset, not a liability." Many people around the world, including within the US, would agree with Trump's view. So, why the inertia in translating this into practical policy?

Russian legislators have said they are preparing retaliatory sanctions against international officials responsible for Russia's ban from the Olympics, to be introduced after February's Winter Games.

Russian Olympic team and officials were barred from the coming games in South Korea following an investigation into a state-sponsored doping scheme at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. Russian officials have denied the accusations and claim that the ban is an anti-Russian conspiracy.


Comment: The US-Inspired Olympic Ban on Russia: Another Pyrrhic Victory for the Ailing Empire of Chaos


Comment: Russia out manoeuvres every attack by the US with a stunning and, where possible, more diplomatic gesture. But while the western establishment is in the grips of a hysteric breakdown, they fail to learn that they and their lackeys tend to suffer the worst and, were it not for their control of western media, their failures would be clear for all to see:

Sarah Huckabee Sanders calls the Wall Street Journal on its 'fake news' — then releases proof

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders hit back at the Wall Street Journal over the weekend for allegedly doctoring President Donald Trump's words following a recent interview.

It all began when the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday that Trump said he has a very good relationship with North Korean Dictator Kim Jong Un. Trump's comments came one day after he expressed willingness to re-enter discussions with the country over its nuclear program.

"I probably have a very good relationship with Kim Jong Un," the Journal reported Trump saying.

Comment: The liberal-slanted American press just love to paint Trump as an idiot. Even if it's difficult to tell in the audio (and the difference between "I" and "I'd" could be pretty subtle), does it make any sense that Trump would claim he has a good relationship with Kim Jong Un? If the WSJ had any journalistic integrity they'd say "oops, our mistake". But instead they double-down, serving no other function than to try to make the President look stupid.

Bill Clinton flew off the handle on Twitter yesterday, vehemently denying that funds collected by The Clinton Foundation for Haiti relief were used to pay for Chelsea's wedding.

But as everyone knows, that's a blatant LIE.

Comment: James Woods commented on this:


Why doesn't Mueller investigate the real criminals like the Clintons instead of chasing around a non-existent "Russian collusion"? See also:
