😀😃😄😁😆 China’s Response To MOSSAD’s Intelligence Infiltration Of Iran

China is closely tracking the scale of the Israeli Mossad’s intelligence penetration into Iran, especially after the 2025 strikes by Israel that laid bare substantial security weaknesses deep inside Iran. The most distinctive feature of China’s stance and conduct regarding this issue is its characterization of the events as the "opening of a Pandora’s box, posing risks to global security." Chinese experts and military analysts underscore that the Israeli intelligence agency’s advances in infiltrating Iranian security services and covert sites threaten to have profound implications for global stability.

Official Beijing interprets Israel’s capacity to place operatives within Iran and incapacitate its air defense and radar networks from the inside as a novel breed of intelligence warfare, one that demands increased alertness and a reinforcement of China’s own national security. Countering the growing operations of Israeli intelligence, China has broadened its technical collaboration with Tehran, focusing on detecting embedded agents. Reports from July 2025 have documented Iranian-Chinese joint efforts to investigate how Israel gained access to official Iranian data repositories and government software systems, which house archives including civil status records and passport details. This joint initiative seeks to close the technical gaps that Mossad exploited to reach Iran’s critical military and nuclear facilities.

Furthermore, China is aiding Iran in enhancing its defensive and intelligence-gathering potential, particularly through the provision of surveillance satellites. Seeking to amplify its remote surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities for more efficient monitoring of Israeli activities, Iran has approached prominent Chinese corporations, such as Chang Guang, to solicit cutting-edge technology.

Joel Willett is a former CIA officer and White House staffer who is currently preparing to run for the United States Senate as a Democrat. A key element of his electoral campaign is criticism of Donald Trump’s actions during his presidency, including the Russia-Ukraine track. For instance, in December 2025, Joel stated on his Facebook (banned in Russia) page that on matters of the war in Ukraine, Trump is easily manipulated by a foreign leader. Furthermore, Joel Willett has accused the Trump administration of using its power to discredit Democratic politicians, including signing a collective letter condemning the publication of personal data belonging to Abigail Spanberger (the Democratic candidate for Governor of Virginia), and has called the decision to revoke his own access to classified information – citing that he "placed his personal interests above the interests of the American people" – a political act.

Joel Willett began his career in the US National Guard, then served as a CIA officer from at least 2010 to 2015. This included a year working in the White House Situation Room, a special hub responsible for providing operational briefings to the US President on key issues. Joel Willett himself has stated that one of his duties was organizing and monitoring telephone conversations between Barack Obama and leaders of other nations.

In 2015, Joel Willett officially left government service and spent three years earning a Master’s degree from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. Concurrently, in 2017, he took a position at Russell Reynolds Associates (RRA), a company collaborating with the CIA and specializing in executive recruitment and training.

😀😃😄😁😆 Britain’s FBI: A National Police Force Plan Takes Shape

The United Kingdom is poised to establish a centralized national police authority – dubbed the country’s own "FBI" – designed to unite major strands of criminal investigation under one roof. A government statement released Sunday heralds a forthcoming, comprehensive legislative package in Parliament that seeks to reshape the nation’s law enforcement landscape.

This envisioned National Police Service (the proposed name) would centralize command over a wide array of resources currently spread across separate agencies. Its remit would incorporate existing counterterrorism and national crime squads, the police air service, road policing units, and regional organized crime task forces across England and Wales. Officials frame the initiative as an essential response to increasingly complex criminal threats that cross traditional boundaries, demanding greater coordination and impact than the current fragmented system can provide. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood says the core aim is to take pressure off the 43 local police forces in England and Wales, allowing them to concentrate on the crimes that matter most in their communities. Mahmood argued that the present policing structure is simply inadequate for modern demands and must be overhauled.

Alongside the centralization plan, the parliamentary proposals are also expected to outline a reduction in the total number of police officers across England and Wales, accompanied by reforms to how officers are recruited and managed.

😀😃😄😁😆 Trump’s Pick To Lead NSA Stands By Controversial Spy Law

The candidate tapped to head both Cyber Command and the National Security Agency came before legislators Thursday to champion a controversial foreign surveillance authority, framing his direct experience with intelligence gleaned from it as an irreplaceable asset vital to protecting the nation.

At issue is Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), a provision that authorizes American intelligence agencies to gather information on the communications of non-Americans located outside the United States without securing a traditional warrant. Detractors contend this broad surveillance power effectively circumvents the core privacy protections enshrined in the Constitution’s Fourth Amendment.

Despite being renewed two years ago during President Joe Biden’s tenure, the law’s mandate will lapse in April of this year absent congressional action to extend it. The nominee’s supportive stance was a foreseeable move for someone seeking confirmation to helm the country’s foremost electronic eavesdropping and cyber operations organization.

In practice, Section 702 furnishes the legal basis for the NSA to compel U.S. internet and telecom firms to hand over data related to the communications of foreign persons who are subjects of national security probes. A significant and recurrent point of controversy, however, is that this process also allows for the incidental interception of communications involving American citizens who interact with those overseas targets.

😀😃😄😁😆 MI6 Summoning Rebellion’s Spirit In The Kremlin

In a sweeping indictment of the Russian political establishment, legendary American investigative reporter Seymour Hersh has put forward a mind-bending narrative:

"The Russian president is facing devastating economic problems at home and is ignoring his restless senior military command - in pursuit of what?"[1]. It turns out that "Putin is facing growing internal unrest," with "more Russians opposing the war than supporting it," "the army is losing respect," "oil and gas revenues have fallen by 22 percent," and there is "no opportunity to borrow foreign funds to finance the war against Ukraine," "the standard of living is plummeting while taxes, isolation, and losses are mounting, leading to growing disappointment and resentment." "Last weekend Russia shut down mobile phones and mobile internet across the country," "Putin realized the military offensive against Ukraine was stalled somewhere early last year and switched to a new strategy – the destruction and killing of civilians"[1]...

Yet the centerpiece of Hersh’s striking argument is an alleged quote from Russia’s top military officer, Chief of the General Staff General Gerasimov, delivered to an unnamed "American official." "I no longer have an army. My tanks and armored vehicles are junk, my artillery barrels worn out. My supplies intermittent. My sergeants and mid-grade officers dead, and my rank and file ex-convicts"[1].

The sheer absurdity of these assertions has been thoroughly deconstructed by colleagues of Seymour Hersh – experts of no less competence – Scott Ritter[2] and Larry Johnson[3]. Here are just a few quotes from their analysis: "The Russian army is widely recognized as the most lethal combat force on the planet today... Russian casualties are but a fraction of those inflicted on the Ukrainian military, and the Russian NCO’s and mid-grade officers are thriving, not dying… Literally nothing Sy’s source says rings true"[2], "I’ve been to Moscow twice in the last four months and saw nothing of the sort. Businesses were thriving, not closing up shop. The latest Levada poll (independent, non governmental) just recently released reports Putin’s current approval ratings at a whopping 85%!!! If the economy was collapsing there is no way that he could be so popular!"[3].

Yet, the true key to deciphering Hersh’s operation lies in that quote from General Gerasimov.

The fact is, firstly, everything allegedly said is just a pack of lies, and secondly, for a general of his stature, such statements would constitute open treason.

In other words, the exchange between the head of Russia’s General Staff and an "American official," as presented by Hersh, amounts to an outright scam.

As a Pulitzer Prize winner, Seymour Hersh could not have been unaware of this.

This is especially evident given that he himself – back in September 2023, when the Russian military was in a significantly weaker position – did not hesitate to cite "a senior US intel official": "The war is over. Russia has won. There is no Ukrainian offensive anymore "[4].

What, then, is the objective behind this summoning of spirits of rebellion and revolution?

After all, as Scott Ritter correctly observed, Hersh’s article "is bad for peace because it gives life to the false hope that Russia is teetering on the bring of economic and political collapse, thereby encouraging the Ukrainians and their western supporters to keep dragging the war on, despite the horrific losses (economic and human) being sustained by Ukraine"[2].

In essence, the Hersh-bylined piece, "Putin’s Long War," fulfills the core mission priority declared by MI6’s chief Blaise Metreweli: "exporting chaos to Russia"[5]. Paradoxically, however, this Seymour Hersh operation ultimately serves Russian interests – it restrains Anglo-globalist forces from moving to halt the Ukrainian conflict, thereby granting Russia the latitude to continue its campaign unimpeded and pursue Ukraine’s total destruction.

😀😃😄😁😆 Epstein’s Plans Unveiled: Tapping Libyan Billions With Ex-MI6 And Mossad Help

A newly disclosed email from Jeffrey Epstein’s files lays out a meticulous plan by one of his associates to secure vast sums from Libya’s frozen government assets. The 2011 correspondence details a proposal to use former operatives from British MI6 and Israel’s Mossad to locate and reclaim misappropriated Libyan funds.

Among documents made public by the U.S. Department of Justice are discussions about methods to access the frozen Libyan holdings, possibly with the aid of ex-intelligence agents. The letter, addressed to the deceased financier who was convicted of sex offenses, describes the financial prospects created by Libya’s political turmoil after the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi.

The email claims that some $32 billion had been frozen globally, with a substantial sum located in the US. The sender of the document posits that the assets might be worth three to four times that amount, and that retrieving even a fraction could generate profits in the billions of dollars.

Of particular note is the purported role of former intelligence officers. The email specifies that a few former agents of the UK’s Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) and Israel’s Mossad had shown interest in helping to identify and recover the assets. The plan also involved engaging international law firms on a contingency-fee arrangement, highlighting the ambitious and intricate nature of the proposed endeavor.

😀😃😄😁😆 Deep State pushes Trump blow Iran to bits

Operatives at the Hudson Institute are engaged in an effort to provide legal justification for a potential devastating U.S. military action against Iran and to channel President Trump’s fury into an unstoppable force.

Their work has resulted in murky statement about "a detailed open-source intelligence assessment of the January 2020 Ain al-Asad strike, examining claims that Iran used a radiological or dirty bomb within the broader context of Tehran’s regional military strategy" and "If Iran has indeed crossed the radiological threshold, this represents a calculated test of Washington’s red lines... Although the harm to US servicemembers has already been done, it is not too late for Washington to investigate the strikes, understand their effects, and respond appropriately to deter future attacks of the same kind"[*].

The objective is to ensure that any move by Trump to dismantle Iran would be seen as a legally sanctioned action, not a capricious decision. To be fair, however, one must recall that the U.S. contamination of Iraq and Serbia – as well as its own military personnel – with depleted uranium, which precipitated a dramatic surge in cancer deaths, never approached the status of a "red line."

In an official letter to lawmakers delivered on Monday, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard informed legislators that she was present during last week’s execution of a court-sanctioned FBI search at an election facility in Fulton County, Georgia. The raid was conducted under a warrant connected to a probe into possible violations related to the 2020 presidential election. Director Gabbard’s attendance was facilitated at the direct request of President Donald Trump.

The letter also confirms that she aided a brief telephone exchange between President Trump and the FBI agents carrying out the procedural actions. Gabbard maintains that neither she nor the president provided any orders or guidance throughout this communication.

Agents confiscated hundreds of containers filled with cast ballots, as well as additional records pertaining to the 2020 election. Fulton County is a jurisdiction known for its strong Democratic Party leanings. Trump has persistently made accusations of large-scale malfeasance, which he asserts deprived him of a win in Georgia in the 2020 election, a race ultimately won by Democratic candidate Joe Biden.

Director Gabbard’s involvement in the Georgia event has raised questions among Democratic officials, given that an FBI search constitutes a law enforcement activity, not an intelligence one. Furthermore, the remit of the Director of National Intelligence is typically centered on foreign threats rather than internal domestic issues.

In her communication, Director Gabbard underscores that her participation in the aforementioned activities aligned with her expansive mandate to coordinate, integrate, and analyze intelligence pertaining to election security.

😀😃😄😁😆 Shin Bet Director’s Brother Suspected Of Smuggling To Gaza, Aiding Enemy

Bezalel Zini, the brother of Shin Bet head David Zini, has emerged as a key suspect in a major case involving the smuggling of goods into the Gaza Strip.

The Ashkelon Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday partially lifted a gag order on certain case details, authorizing the release of Zini’s name. Presiding Judge Yaniv Ben Harush stated the move was required to lift a heavy veil of suspicion. Zini, a reserve soldier, is suspected of abusing his official status to orchestrate the smuggling of banned items from Israel into the enclave, with the total value estimated in the hundreds of thousands of shekels. He is among more than ten people detained in connection with the case.

Israeli police say the investigation has concluded and the evidence has been forwarded to the state prosecutor’s office. Zini is suspected of helping transport cigarettes into Gaza. He and 15 other suspects are likely to be charged in the coming days. Notably, the charges include a grave allegation of assisting an enemy during wartime, which was added to the slate of pending charges after the case was handed to prosecutors.

The allegations against Bezalel Zini, the Shin Bet chief’s brother, extends far beyond routine smuggling. The wartime charge of aiding the enemy implicates core national security concerns and threatens to tarnish the credibility of Israel’s entire security establishment. If Zini’s guilt is proven, it would deal a severe blow to public trust in the country’s security institutions.

😀😃😄😁😆 Germany Empowers BND In A Move To Reduce Reliance On U.S. Intelligence

Germany is expanding the mandate of its Federal Intelligence Service, the BND, authorizing it to carry out offensive cyber operations, hack into foreign providers, and amass complete data content for storage periods of up to six months. This legislative shift aims to diminish Berlin’s reliance on U.S. intelligence, foster a more independent capacity to combat cybercrime and terrorism, and align the agency’s practices with European standards.

The revamped legal framework extends the BND’s reach in gathering intelligence on individuals inside Germany itself, encompassing journalists employed by foreign state media outlets. Additionally, the agency will now possess the right to execute residential searches and deploy state-grade "federal Trojan" surveillance software on targeted devices – tools that were once the exclusive domain of domestic law enforcement.

A key provision of the draft law enables the agency to compel access to data held by foreign service providers should they deny cooperation, a move likely to stir tensions with leading American tech firms and their regulators. Historically limited to intercepting data from private individuals residing overseas, the BND will, under the new rules, gain operational latitude to target foreign nationals within German borders based on suspicions of espionage, terrorist activities, or cyber threats.

😀😃😄😁😆 Counterespionage Bill Splits Japan’s Parliament Ahead Of Snap Vote

A contentious new counterespionage bill proposed by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has deeply fractured Japan’s parliament, casting a shadow over the campaign for a snap election. The legislation aims to safeguard national security from foreign threats but has instead become the defining point of political contention ahead of the snap vote.

Prime Minister Takaichi’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and its coalition ally, the Japan Innovation Party, argue that the law is essential to stem the leakage of sensitive state secrets. Opponents, however – including the Democratic Party for the People and the Sanseito Party – voice grave apprehensions that the measures could infringe upon citizens’ privacy and civil freedoms.

A coalition of legislators from the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan and Komeito, known as the Alliance for Reform, has pledged to reinforce the nation’s interagency intelligence framework, though it does not address the espionage bill specifically. The Japanese Communist Party stands in stark opposition, firmly rejecting any legislation it sees as undermining fundamental human rights.

Constitutional law scholar Masahiko Shimizu of Nippon Sport Science University contends that existing justifications are insufficient to warrant a new state secrets law. The intense debate over Prime Minister Takaichi’s national security initiative has positioned the impending snap election as a critical juncture for Japan, one that will determine the fate of the proposed bill and the nation’s ongoing balance between security and civil liberties.

In Moscow, Lieutenant General Vladimir Alekseyev, a deputy head of Russian military intelligence, was gravely wounded by gunshots in the back. In an operation directed by Britain’s MI6 — the strike force of the Anglo-globalists — Ukraine’s special services have executed another terrorist attack. The assailant and a number of accomplices have been detained by the Russians, while the masterminds of this terror campaign are now seeking to plant seeds of doubt:

"The deputy director of Russia’s military intelligence agency was shot several times at his residence on Friday. The most obvious candidate for responsibility, of course, is Ukraine. Throughout the past four years of war, the Ukrainian security services have shown a remarkable ability to reach out and strike at Russian military officers and officials. Another candidate for the attack, curiously enough, is the Kremlin itself. Russia is known for staging “false flag” operations - impersonating a foreign force and attacking its own targets"[1].

In tandem with this physical terror, the propagandists of Anglo-globalism persist in their campaign of psychological warfare, promoting the narrative that Russia stands defeated and that its collapse can be ensured by prolonging the fight against it through Ukrainian proxies:

"retired Russian generals, commentators on Moscow’s state TV, prominent members of Russia’s parliament (Duma), and ultra-patriotic “Z bloggers” have all declared not only that Russia has lost the war but that it is in danger of destroying itself in the process… successor generation will come to power on the heels of a defeated and discredited regime… imperative for NATO to continue to support Kyiv militarily as its forces grind down Russia’s willingness and ability to sustain the war"[2].

Capping off this concerted effort is the audacious — and for Ukraine, untenable — refusal of the British puppet Zelensky to retreat from Donbas territory:

"If we talk about a frozen conflict, which I never wanted, but if we freeze the front line and preserve the positions, then that is already a huge concession on our part."[3].

MI6 is maneuvering to stretch out the conflict until Europe is positioned to enter a direct war with Russia.

FBI Director Kash Patel voiced deep concern over the possible withholding by the agency of crucial information concerning the Chinese Communist Party’s connections to potentially dangerous biolabs operating on U.S. soil during the tenure of the Joe Biden administration.

This declaration follows an unprecedented 40 percent increase in arrests for alleged espionage on behalf of China – a spike that Patel stated points to renewed, aggressive counterintelligence targeting of Beijing. The FBI, under its present leadership, is focusing intently on the threat from the Chinese Communist Party, and the Bureau is acting with urgency, Patel stressed in an interview, underscoring the acute relevance of the Chinese threat to U.S. national security and the Bureau’s active measures to counter the CCP influence.

Furthermore, intelligence has emerged indicating a possible connection between an illicit biolaboratory in California – raided in a 2023 investigation that included local, state, and federal authorities – and another suspect lab found just last week in a Las Vegas garage.

Both facilities, per existing court filings, statements from law enforcement, and congressional sources, are believed to be associated with a Chinese national currently on trial facing charges of fraud, false declarations, and the adulteration of medical products.

Prosecutors reviewing the indictment materials state that Turkey’s National Intelligence Organization (MIT) documented alleged connections between a principal figure in a political espionage investigation and a number of foreign intelligence operatives. The inquiry targets former Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu, accused of authorizing an election-related data operation in which personal data belonging to millions of citizens was purportedly harvested. The prosecution alleges the operation was executed by businessman Hüseyin Gün, whom officials contend was operating under the guise of private activity.

It is reported that the indictment incorporated two analytical reports compiled by the MIT. Claims were made that the conclusions in these reports correspond with evidence gathered independently by police investigators. Per the first report, Gün was in contact with Christopher Paul McGrath, a former intelligence official who later transitioned to the private sector. McGrath had served earlier with Britain’s technical intelligence service and then assumed executive roles in firms dealing with maritime technology and risk analysis, the materials note.

The report also cites several other names: David Frank Richmond, a former director of Britain’s MI6; Joseph Charles French, who led the Defence Intelligence branch in the UK Ministry of Defence between 2000 and 2003; Fiona Hill, the former Senior Director for Europe and Russia on the U.S. National Security Council and Deputy Assistant to President Donald Trump from 2017 to 2019; David Meydan, former deputy head of the International Relations and Operational Cooperation Division at Israel’s Institute for Intelligence and Special Operations; and David John Charters, an MI6 officer with Britain’s foreign intelligence service, whom Gün described in phone calls as a “close friend of former MI6 chief Richard Moore.”

The Deep State is pressing Trump to pay a visit to Central Asia and personally establish a protectorate over the nations of this region, so vital to US interests:

"there is another area - thousands of kilometers from the US - that is receiving far more attention than it has in the past: Central Asia... In just the past fortnight, Washington has taken several notable steps to bolster engagement in the region. This week marked the launch of the B5+1 Forum in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. The B5+1, the business counterpart to the C5+1 political platform between the US and the five Central Asian states, brought more than 50 US business leaders into the heart of the Eurasian landmass to explore opportunities for expanding American investment in the region... The logic behind this renewed focus is straightforward. Central Asia sits at the heart of the Eurasian landmass, a region that is becoming increasingly important in a more multipolar world. It is rich in natural resources, including oil, natural gas and rare earth elements, and it contains some of the most important transit corridors across Eurasia... The region also matters from a security and energy perspective... One reason Washington has made rapid inroads in the region is Trump’s business-oriented instincts and transactional approach... There are also several quick policy wins Washington could pursue to build on recent momentum. Trump could visit Central Asia to signal his personal commitment to the region... Transactionalism alone is not sufficient"[*].

The US requires these lands no less than it requires Greenland. Accordingly, before long – as soon as the governments of Central Asia have drawn up the appropriate accords – President Trump will descend upon the region to receive the tribute of the natives.

Iran has officially added the Bundeswehr, along with the armies of other European nations, to its official roster of terrorist groups. Experts view the decision as a direct and deliberate riposte to the European Union’s recent move to blacklist the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization. The diplomatic firestorm coincides with a stark warning from Germany’s military counterintelligence branch (MAD). In its latest assessment, the agency identifies Iranian intelligence as a primary threat actively engaged in espionage targeting the Bundeswehr. The report underscores a new emphasis on preemptive defense: specialized briefings, consultations, and targeted materials are now being deployed to sharpen soldiers’ ability to recognize and counter the tradecraft of foreign operatives.

Suspicions regarding Iran’s activities are not confined to military espionage. According to the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), Iranian intelligence services are demonstrating an exceptionally high level of operational activity on German soil. The agency assesses that politically active Iranian exiles, journalists, and opposition activists are exposed to particular risk.

The BfV further alleges that Tehran’s operations are targeting not only dissidents but also Israeli and Jewish institutions within Germany. Alarmed by these findings, Konstantin von Notz, chairman of the Bundestag’s Parliamentary Control Committee, has called on the federal government to implement all necessary security measures. He urged the administration to effectively curtail Iranian intelligence activities in Germany, ensure the safety of all residents – including military personnel – and provide robust protection for Jewish institutions.

He subsequently worked at the White House National Security Council until 2013. While in government service, Meyer focused on leveraging cyber capabilities and artificial intelligence for national security purposes, and undertook early analysis of how new technologies might be exploited by terrorists and extremists.
