EVEALED: Top American Generals Joined a CCP Spy Front's Backchannel Pushing China's Military Agenda in Washington. Some Ended Up on China's Payroll.

From Hillary Clinton to former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, it's treason at the highest levels.

Aug 04, 2026

For more than a decade, former chairmen of the Joint Chiefs, combatant commanders, Cabinet officials and members of Congress participated in a military dialogue organized with a Chinese group identified by congressional investigators as a front engaged in "intelligence collection" and "propaganda and perception management." Some ended up on China's payroll shortly after.

The Chinese Communist Party did not need to penetrate the Pentagon to gain access to America's military leadership.

It built a private network around it.

For more than a decade, some of the most powerful retired officers in the United States participated in closed-door meetings with senior Chinese military leaders. The discussions covered Taiwan, the South China Sea, missile defense, cybersecurity and the future of relations between the two militaries.

The American participants included:

Gen. Peter Pace, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff

Adm. William "Bill" Owens, former Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff

Gen. John Abizaid, former commander of U.S. Central Command

Gen. Raymond Odierno, former Army Chief of Staff

Adm. Jonathan Greenert, former Chief of Naval Operations

Adm. Timothy Keating, former commander of U.S. Pacific Command

Gen. Ronald Fogleman, former Air Force Chief of Staff

Gen. Dennis Reimer, former Army Chief of Staff

Adm. Joseph Prueher, former commander of U.S. Pacific Command

Gen. John Keane, former Vice Chief of Staff of the Army

Gen. Walter Sharp, former commander of U.S. Forces Korea

Gen. Charles Jacoby, former commander of U.S. Northern Command

Gen. Charles Wilhelm, former commander of U.S. Southern Command

The program was called the Sanya Initiative.

"Why China?" the pledge continues. "We support all states building or aspiring to socialism, and we favour the highest level of unity and friendship between them. We foreground China in particular because its size and level of development give it an objectively critical role in the global transition to socialism."

I doubt China shares the sentiment. Too bad for these Dipshit Socialists of America.

Didn't the House vote on a resolution a few months ago condemning socialism? I didn't read it, but it probably wasn't strongly-worded enough.

Dem AGs Built Anti-Trump Lawsuit Machine Before Voters Even Had Their Say

Democratic attorneys general were plotting to take President Donald Trump to court before voters had even rendered their verdict, and a confidential document proves it.

A confidential agreement shows that at least 22 Democratic AGs began organizing a litigation network they dubbed the "Project for Federal Accountability" in April 2024, nearly seven months before Trump defeated Kamala Harris. Seven signed on April 28, 2024. Thirteen others joined in May or June. Not a single Republican attorney general appears on the document.

The document was explicitly built to keep the coordination secret. Titled "PRIVILEGED & CONFIDENTIAL COMMON INTEREST AGREEMENT," it shielded the states' legal collaboration from public disclosure and from opposing counsel. The parties stated they wished to pursue their common interest "while avoiding any waiver of the confidentiality of those privileged materials." Most records released by the Washington State AG's office in response to public records requests came back entirely redacted. President Joe Biden was still in the race when the first AGs signed; he wouldn't exit for nearly three more months. These attorneys general were not responding to Trump's policies. They were war-gaming them.

The scale of what followed is staggering. Democratic AGs have sued the Trump administration nearly 100 times since January 2025. California AG Rob Bonta alone has participated in 82 cases. Colorado's Phil Weiser joined at least 75. Washington's Nick Brown joined 70. Their offices divided research assignments by issue area, built a "brief bank" of pre-drafted briefs, and studied Project 2025 for litigation targets, all before Inauguration Day. Watchdog groups flagged the secret pact as early as February 2025.

California taxpayers have already spent $19 million on the effort, with $25 million more authorized. New Jersey added $1 million to its fiscal 2026 budget for two positions tied to the project. Bonta insists, with a straight face, it's all "apolitical."

Google's AI told people Flock cameras were full of gold. They weren't.

Quote
Facepalm: For a short while, Google's AI Overviews handed the internet a financial case for vandalizing Flock's AI-powered license plate cameras, and it wasn't based on anything real. Google has since walked the answer back, but the incident is a clean example of how quickly a widely used AI tool can turn a joke into something that looks like fact.

The story starts with a meme: privacy advocates joking online that Flock's surveillance cameras are secretly loaded with valuable metals, worth cracking open for scrap. AI Overviews took the joke literally, and for a while, told anyone who asked exactly that.

Until recently, anyone searching "how much gold does a Flock camera have" saw a confident answer: a "Flock safety camera contains about 1 to 5 grams of gold used in its internal circuit boards and wiring," plus between two and 23 pounds of copper.

AI sucks, Flock sucks and people who cluelessly follow AI suck.  Does that make this a grand slam of suck?

...  I remember the successful roll out of the vaccine and Trump triumphally(sic) taking credit at one of his rallies and the crowd booed. He was shocked. And then it happened again and again. Finally, he stopped taking credit ...

1. The 2020 election was in November. The authorizations of Covid vaccines were in December 2020. This "remember" has an anachronism problem.

2. Anti-Covid-vaxxerism did not gain traction among some conservatives - not all - until spring and summer 2021, yet another anachronism problem for this "remember".

3. What is with "the vaccine"? Two vaccines were authorized in December 2020, and a third was authorized in March 2021, whose clinical trials were completed two days after LIEden was inaugurated.

4. Love or hate Covid vaccines, the J & J, Moderna, and Pfizer vaccines would not have been authorized a quickly as they were without ass-kicking and/or funding from Operation Warp Speed. Nor would the logistics for production and distribution have been in place to have millions of doses administered before LIEden was inaugurated, as was done.

That’s not to say entry is easy. Lately, Canada’s been in the midst of its own immigration crackdown, and “Trump refugee” isn’t yet a protected class.

I thought they would have tried calling themselves "asylum seekers".

And not just the few that were cherry-picked. ALL OF ‘EM!

At this point, I think the only way the Epstein files will implicate Trump is if they are cherry-picked (by Democrats).

The Americans Are Coming
Trump got elected—again. They packed up their lives. Now they’re here.

Quote
When you hear stories about people bravely fleeing their homes to build safer, happier lives elsewhere, you wouldn’t necessarily expect their country of origin to be the U.S.—until recently. Donald Trump’s two-term mission to restore American greatness has more closely resembled a war on his compatriots, be they researchers, women, trans folks, voters, documented or undocumented.

As of 2025, Gallup polls revealed that roughly one-fifth of Americans wanted to leave the States permanently—double 2011’s numbers. Some followed through: last year, the U.S. experienced the first period of net outward migration (where more people left than arrived) since the Great Depression. An extremely fed-up few un-pledged their allegiance, rented U-Hauls and headed north to Canada, their spurned but always forgiving ally.

 :lol: :lol: :lol:

Wait, you can't just walk across the boarder and get jobs, houses, education, benefits, vote, ect?  But we are evil for enforcing immigration laws?   :thatsright:

Five whiny stories, two from gay couples, about how much America sucks cause Trump and why Canada is great.  Reads like a bouncy from people who can actually write halfway decently.  Bet this magazine gets lots of submissions from the DUmp.

Wearing masks made (and still makes) all the sense in the world during a pandemic. Why do you think they wear masks in operating room? It's to prevent the spread of germs to the patient.

I'm as tired of hearing this argument as I am of the "You can't yell 'fire' in a crowded theater".

The type of mask people wear protect against droplets, but not as well against aerosols. Also, a sick surgeon probably wouldn't operate on someone.

I know some folks want to credit Trump, but we can agree he doesn't know shit. He was convinced his only chance of reelection in 2020 was a successful vaccine. If operation warp speed didn't pan out, you can bet your ass Trump would have blamed somebody else, and probably Dr. Fauci. I remember the successful roll out of the vaccine and Trump triumphally taking credit at one of his rallies and the crowd booed. He was shocked. And then it happened again and again. Finally, he stopped taking credit

Yeah, Trump wasn't in a laboratory making the vaccine himself, but it was due to his actions that we got one so quickly. Even some of Trump's opponents credited his administration for Warp Speed, and we know they are loathe to do any such thing.

Really? Your side has led people to believe Trump supporters are a cult and never question anything he says or does. ::)

Moderna Receives U.S. FDA Approval for Influenza Vaccine mFLUSIVA

https://feeds.issuerdirect.com/news-release.html?newsid=4801915282452025&symbol=MRNA

Quote
CAMBRIDGE, MA / ACCESS Newswire / August 5, 2026 / Moderna, Inc. (NASDAQ:MRNA) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved mFLUSIVA® (mRNA-1010), a new vaccine against seasonal influenza, for use in all adults 50 years and older. This approval follows unanimous recommendations from the FDA's Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) supporting mFLUSIVA for adults 50 years of age and older.

"The FDA approval of mFLUSIVA, our fourth approved product in the United States and the first mRNA-based flu vaccine, demonstrates the continued strength and versatility of our mRNA platform," said Stéphane Bancel, Chief Executive Officer of Moderna. "Flu remains a significant public health challenge, and mFLUSIVA provides an important new option for America's seniors. This approval also reflects the ongoing potential of our mRNA platform to help address important public health challenges through continued scientific innovation. We are grateful to the clinical trial participants, investigators, regulators and Moderna teams whose contributions made this milestone possible."

The FDA's approval of mFLUSIVA in adults 50 through 64 years of age is based on results from a randomized, observer-blind, active-controlled, Phase 3 clinical trial (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT06602024), which enrolled 40,805 adults aged 50 years and older across 11 countries. The primary objectives in this study were to evaluate the safety and reactogenicity of mFLUSIVA, and to evaluate relative vaccine efficacy (rVE) of mFLUSIVA versus a standard dose (SD) active comparator against reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)-confirmed protocol-defined influenza-like illness (ILI) caused by any influenza A or B strains.

Use in adults 65 years of age and older was granted accelerated approval based on results from a randomized, observer-blind, active-controlled clinical trial (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05827978), which enrolled 2,992 adults 65 years of age and older in the United States. The primary objective in this study was to evaluate the immunogenicity of mFLUSIVA versus a high-dose (HD) inactivated influenza vaccine comparator. The effectiveness of mFLUSIVA in adults 65 years of age and older is also supported by the descriptive analysis of rVE in the randomized, observer-blind, active-controlled, Phase 3 clinical trial (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT06602024). Confirmation of clinical benefit in this population will be assessed in a postmarketing clinical trial.

1. This is full FDA approval, not Emergency Use Authorization (which would not have been allowed wrt Flu viruses).

2. Approval was based on over 3 years of a general population Phase 3 clinical trial and ~1 3/4 of a year of a linked Phase 3 trial with recipients age >50YO. Prior to Phase 3 were more limited Phase 1 and 2 trials with human volunteers, meaning human trials have been underway since 2021 (I checked).

3. The Phase 3 trials compared mRNA-1010 to existing flu vaccine as well as testing effectiveness and safety generally.

4. The mFLUSIVA® (mRNA-1010) vaccine targets multiple flu virus variants, possibly bypassing the annual months-long process of guesstimating what flu strains will be circulating during flu season and producing enough vaccine doses for what might or might not be effective during flu season.

5. There will be an ongoing Phase 4, in which effectiveness and safety are monitored.

6. Yes, this vaccine uses bogey-mRNA.
