Biden Executive Order bans US govt agencies from using commercial spyware that poses a risk to national security.
Such as Pegasus software that was used against US govt personnel & likely many others.
Software companies that sell to bad guys can't sell to US
#ButNothingsHappening
So if softwar companies want to sell spyware to the US IC & law enforcement, they can't sell it to anyone who uses it against the US or for repression against other citizens.
So I'm guessing that all the spyware companies that spied on Trump, reporters, & the FBI in 2016 are going to be prohibited from US govt contracts!
whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
Interesting time with the Netanyahu protests in Israel that these categories apply to Bibi's friends at Isreali spyware company NSO Group. It might hit Rodney Joffe's company Neustar too...

Using spyware to disclose US govt information, like that spying on the Obama & Trump WHs.
Sounds like Spygate...

Like when Joffe working for Hillary's lawyer Sussmann was illegally accessing White House & other government & IP data & databases to search for derogatory information on Trump then leak a twisted version of it to the press.
Wonder if this means Durham has found evidence that US government agencies (DARPA, NSA, DIA) requested Joffe & his team to spy upon Trump...

It will now be a violation of this executive order...
And it likely wasn't before because it was 'commercial' spyware.
Within 90 days & every 6 months going forward, all agencies will have to report any intelligence or information about all foreign spyware companies using software in violation of these policies.
Any agency deciding that a contractor is in compliance or not but be documented & provided to the DNI for their compliance report. No buying the software & not telling anyone about it to keep it secret.
They have to give notice of the decision & their due dilligence at least 7 days before beginning to use the software.
Agency heads may issue a 1 year waiver if thre is no feasible alternative to the commercial spyware that poses a national security risk.

But the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs (National Security Advisor) & DNI must be notified within 72 hours.
Agencies have 6 months to report any operational use of commercial spyware products & what they have done to implement this policy.

Then annually the agencies have to certify that any commercial spyware that they are using odes not pose a national security threat.

This entire tanker deal between Boeing & the US Air Force was Swampy corruption.

Now the tankers are facing structural flaws.

Are they constructed from the titanium that the Clintons helped Dmitry Firtash sell to Boeing after bribing Indian officials to mine it?
FAA found that Boeing was buying titanium from sources that were falsifying the paperwork to hide where Boeing got it from.
Firtash is a Ukrainian oligarch who is friendly with Putin because he owns assets in both countries.

But he works with Swampy consulting firms like McKinsey & Co. to set ups Swampy deals & he hires the best lawyers to keep him out of a US prison.

Let's look at how President Trump tricked Putin into a far greater Russian defeat in Ukraine!

Trump learned the Rope-A-Dope from his friend Mohammed Ali!

Please excuse my poor 'artwork' replacing Ali & Fraser with Trump & Putin!
#ButNothingsHappening Image
Rope-a-dope is a boxing technique in which one contender leans against the ropes of the ring & draws non-injuring offensive punches, letting the opponent tire themself out. This gives the former the opportunity then to execute devastating offensive punches to help them win.
So while Putin & his fake news brag about Russia having Ukraine on the ropes, he is wasting what little is left of Russia's military, economy, & manpower to make ineffective attacks on wheat fields in the middle of nowhere.
While Ukraine's counterpunches are crushing Russia.

SDNY indicts Florida defense attorney & a local police detective for bribing DEA agents for information on behalf of members of drug cartels.

This is a continuation of cases investigated by DOJ IG Michael Horowitz during the Trump Administration.
#ButNothingsHappening
Edwin Pagan III was indicted in November based upon the OIG investigation.
Now David Macey has been indicted too & the charges agains Pagan have been expanded.
It started as 'tell me who is getting indicted so I can get them to hire me as their lawyer."
Became warn the cartels... Image

The unsealed indictment is available here:
I don't know why they don't name the 2 DEA agents as they have also been indicted in early cases based on the DOJ OIG investigation. justice.gov/d9/2025-02/u.s…Image

If you follow the fake news, you won't understand what
this means.
China is controlling rare earth minerals markets by buying Swamp creatures around the world to get mining rights & then not mine the minerals in places like Greenland & Ukraine.

Zelensky & Trump sprung the trap!
Why? Because the Clinton Admin through the Gore–Chernomyrdin Commission sold those mining rights 30 years ago to oligarchs.
For Ukraine to resell the rights to the US, they must first prove that the sales to Clinton & Putin's oligarchs were corrupt!
So Trump & Zelensky have cut a deal predicated on Kiev helping Trump drain the Swamps in Ukraine, Russia, the UK, US & EU!

I guess Ekim Alpetkin & Bijan Kian will try anything to avoid flipping on Boeing & the Swamp creatures they own in Turkey & the US government...

#ButNothingsHappening
Turkish Airways bought a lot of Boeing jets to fly Swampy US politicians in First Class!

Of course, it wasn't just the flights. Adams took $10M in bribes including as illegal donations to help him win elections.

The term Narco-terrorism has been in use for decades.
Trump's new EO is based on western hemisphere drug cartels converging with hostile governments & other terrorists. Including efforts to control Swamps in countries vital to us.

Trump also includes TdA & MS-13 within the scope of this order. If you're not aware, El Chapo reportedly hired MS-13 to assassinate Donald Trump before he ran for President the 1st time.
Likely in retaliation for Trump helping FBI identify El Chapo's money laundering networks. Image
Trump has not designated these cartels terrorist organizations, but is ordering the Secretary of State in consultation with Treasury, AG, DHS, & DNI to draw up the list with all cartels that meet the definition within 14 days. Image
