💢 On July 21st, the U.S. Department of State published a report on the activities of Cuban intelligence. The report states that there are 18 known electronic intelligence facilities located in Cuba, three of which are reportedly under active Chinese control, and that the number of Chinese and Russian intelligence personnel on the island has tripled since 2023.

The report does not specify its sources and contains no images. The evidence supporting this information is reportedly obtained from other sources. Independent analysts have been monitoring Cuban facilities using commercial satellite imagery for years. Recent images show a new circular antenna array in Bejucal, near Havana, consisting of 32 antennas, which appears to be currently operational. The operation of a second facility has been suspended.

This type of array is used to detect and track distant radio signals. Located approximately 150 km from Florida, it provides communication and tracking capabilities for military activity in the southeastern United States and the Caribbean.

China has called these reports slanderous and stated that its cooperation with Cuba is not directed against any third countries. Cuba has previously denied such claims, calling them stories about non-existent bases.

So, what does this mean?

The presence of China-linked listening posts in Cuba is highly likely, and, according to independent satellite imagery collected over several years, it appears to be expanding. The more specific claim that China actively controls three of these facilities is more of a realistic possibility than an established fact. It is based on a single government report that contains no evidence and is part of a U.S. campaign to pressure Havana. A balanced analyst would discount the satellite imagery and political aspects. The data on personnel and funding comes from a single source and should be treated with caution.

Federal financial regulators have joined the ongoing war on mass migration.

FDIC, CFPB, FinCEN, et al. now formally label illegal aliens as credit risks, often tied to fraud and crime. Altogether, the series of guidance advises banks and credit unions against providing services to unauthorized migrants, which sets up footing for mass debanking and can push foreign workers into self-deportation.

"Modern audiences often read the Iliad through the lens of Hollywood romance or psychological realism, asking whether Helen “found authentic love” or whether Achilles has PTSD. Those are modern questions, and Homer would have been confounded by all of them. Every age remakes Homer into the stories it already knows. Hollywood has been doing it for more than a century."

"Climatologists have been modifying temperature databases for a long time, and so everyone who refused to go along with it has long since left the field. The people who remained slowly convinced themselves that it’s OK to do this - for the greater good, as they see it."
