SCOOP: The Navy and its contractors are "under cyber siege" by China and others, hemorrhaging national security secrets at a rate that threatens U.S. standing as the world's top military power, internal review finds w/ @glubold wsj.com/articles/navy-…
The internal report is stunning in its candid assessment of the Chinese cyber threat. Beijing has “derived an incalculable near- and long-term military advantage from it [the hacking], thereby altering the calculus of global power," it states.

wsj.com/articles/navy-…
One senior Navy official was particularly dire:

“People think it’s much like a deathly virus—if we don’t do anything, we could die.”

NEW: @WSJ has seen the classified CIA assessment on Khashoggi. Signals intelligence shows that the Saudi crown prince sent at least 11 messages to his closest advisor who oversaw the team that killed Khashoggi in the hours leading up to the operation. wsj.com/articles/cia-i…
The Saudi leader also in Aug. 2017 told associates that if his efforts to persuade Khashoggi to return to Saudi Arabia weren’t successful, “we could possibly lure him outside Saudi Arabia and make arrangements,” according to the assessment wsj.com/articles/cia-i…
The previously unreported excerpts say the CIA has “medium-to-high confidence” that MBS “personally targeted” Khashoggi and “probably ordered his death.” It added: “To be clear, we lack direct reporting of the Crown Prince issuing a kill order.” wsj.com/articles/cia-i…

SCOOP: Deceased GOP operative Peter Smith secretly raised $100k from 4 donors in Oct. 2016 as part of a project to obtain Hillary Clinton’s emails, an effort that documents and sources say is being actively probed by Mueller

wsj.com/articles/gop-o…
Smith, who said he was working on behalf of Michael Flynn, was warned he was likely getting mixed up with Russian hackers in his pursuit of emails, but he continued to pursue them just weeks before the election. wsj.com/articles/gop-o…
Smith used a dummy Gmail account with the alias “Robert Tyler” to communicate w/ associates, but others had access to the account. An Oct. 11 email simply signed ROB referred to the money as for “the Washington Scholarship Fund for the Russian students” wsj.com/articles/gop-o…

#China will attempt a forceful unification with #Taiwan by 2021, the centenary of the Chinese Communist Party. Xi's grand dream of national rejuvenation entails unifying all that #CCP considers Chinese lands, especially Taiwan.

This THREAD looks at this potential scenario.
The legitimacy of the #CCP regime under Xi is based on the twin pillars of economic growth and nationalism. For the party-state, unifying the mainland and Taiwan is critical to its aspirations of national rejuvenation and erasure of national humiliation.
Why would PRC force a unification as early as 2021? 1) 2021 is the centenary of the #CCP; anniversaries and dates have massive symbolic importance in China's political culture. 2) Xi wants unification to be part of his legacy. This is the only way that he can outshine #Mao.

FOIA doc shows a Chinese phishing attack on Hillary's unsecured email.

What national security secrets were gleaned from her computer by the Chinese and God knows who else?

#QAnon #MAGA #ClintonEmails #WhereIsTheServer #ClintonFoundation #wednesdaywisdom @realDonaldTrump
Between 2010-2012 China killed or jailed at least 18-20 US intelligence sources in a huge intelligence breach. Same timeframe as the Chinese phishing attack of Clinton's unsecured email.

Are these sonic attacks of several US government employees in China this year somehow related?

Welcome to #NATO 101. Lesson 1
"The mere lack of #military #power is, in itself, not enough to cause a nation to lose its position vis-à-vis other states. That only happens when the people lose their individual integrity and the country gradually loses its national #integrity...
#NATO 101, Lesson 2
"No-one wants to cooperate with a country that has lost its integrity. [Even when] other countries have dealt unreasonably... who would want to damage the amity extant between [us, just by] sticking up for a state that has no national #integrity to begin with?
#NATO 101, Lesson 3.
"Many countries haven’t lost their international #prestige merely because of #poverty and #weakness... natural #disaster and poor #geography are enough to make a country weak and poor, and that can move others to sympathy. But lack of #integrity?
