- Several Russian citizen and several ethnic Russians who acquired Czech citizenship were ran by the FSB in Prague. They were watched by Czech intel for several years.
- Group consisted of two private companies in Prague, both selling IT stuff. Outside of this cover business, they were conducting offensive cyber espionage operations.

THREAD:

On Wednesday, Czech Senate held a debate on China. Director of Czech counterintelligence agency (BIS) Michal Koudelka was pretty explicit.

@edwardlucas @RadioFreeTom @Anne_MarieBrady @john_sipher @michaeldweiss @Kasparov63 @cburton001 @JulianRoepcke

See below:
“Hundreds of thousands of Chinese work for Chinese intelligence agencies.”

When going to China, “you will be watched, your safe will be opened, your electronics will be approached. That is what you need to consider if you want to do business in China”.
“(Chinese intelligence) almost exclusively approaches their intelligence targets in China. It is much safer for them and for the victim (a Westerner) it is much harder to resist."

Lithuania's annual National Threat Assessment says that Chinese intelligence agents are using LinkedIn to aggressively recruit. (page 33). vsd.lt/wp-content/upl…
"Chinese intelligence uses LinkedIn to establish contacts with selected targets abroad in the early stages of recruitment operations. The most common targets are civil servants, information technology specialists, defence sector employees, scientists, and experts..."
On Russia: "Visa facilitation and the consequent increase of foreigners traveling to Russia are particularly favourable to Russian intelligence services. They systematically search for foreigners able to provide intelligence on foreign countries or perform other tasks"

Here's a sample of what we spoke about at #adisorder4everyone in Cumbria:

1. @medsconsult and @recover2renew read 'Cracked' by James Davies (now @CEP_UK ) when published 2013
2. @medsconsult volunteered to help to compile the #unrecognisedfacts document for 2014 launch of @CEP_UK

@medsconsult @CEP_UK 3. We have collaborated voluntarily with the @TheBMA 's Board of Science to provide real patient experiences of prescribed drug dependence and withdrawal, leading to the BMA ‘call for action’ for support for affected individuals in October 2016

#Thread If I were Obama.
If I was Obama on January 5, 2017 sitting in the WH meeting with my AG, FBI, DOJ, Perkins Coie Counsel, WH counsel, ODNI, CIA etc.. with a portfolio of data we manufactured, collated, paid for and collected and an EO I had just singed in Dec of 2016 (1)
An Executive Order that makes it the law of the land "Taking Additional Steps to Address the National Emergency With Respect to Significant Malicious Cyber-Enabled Activities" calling our #russia and all the entities we referenced in our "Portfolio" (2)
govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR…
A portfolio we had in our hands that was lack luster, circular and completely manufactured... If I was Obama I would gear up and call upon all those "of our unique and comprehensive system of alliances and partnerships" to join me. To join me (3)

Okay, I think I figured out what is Trump's ultimate game in this escalated US-China trade tensions and I think he will get it. Will share my thoughts in a thread soon! 😎
1) What is Trump's ultimate game? RECIPROCAL TRADE & INVESTMENT. Pissed off about higher tariffs vs the US & non-tariff barriers. Regarding #China 🇨🇳, doesn't like forced tech transfers, Chinese industrial overcapacity, gov subs. But how to get this? Investment+Trade policy
2)Implemented #taxreforms that impacts 50% of global FDI stock & favors US as a destination; USD2trn of REPATRIATION of funds, lower retained earnings of foreign affiliates; higher INVESTMENT in the US b/c of expensing, re-shoring of manufacturing. Basically, good for earnings💪
