Important Takeaways:
- China’s ‘Unrestricted Warfare’: Is It Here Already?
- China-linked hackers appear to be looking to attack U.S. infrastructure, especially key components such as the electrical grid, water reservoirs and treatment plants, pipelines, and transportation and communications systems, among other targets.
- The goal is seemingly to disrupt the U.S. everything critical to life – if you have no electricity, your cellphone will not work; no water will come out of the tap; gas pumps will not pump gas; flights and trains will stop, and disease from disabled sewage treatment plants will spread. There will be havoc and panic. The government and military will be unable to protect the nation. That is what is meant by “unrestricted warfare.” Not a bullet was fired. It did not have to be. According to Sun Tzu’s The Art of War, it is perfect.
- What are some of the steps that should be taken?
- The West has correctly identified the CCP as the malign threat that it is; now we have a responsibility to put into place the measures and deterrents to prevent it from attacking us through cyberspace or any other way. Let us not wait until we experience a 9/11-scale cyberattack that could be far more damaging to the U.S. than what took place on that dark day more than 20 years ago.

- Pawn shops know something about the US economy that Biden doesn’t: Times are still tough
- Clay Baron has everything in his pawn shop from gold rings and pearl necklaces to vintage cowboy boots, silver belt buckles, stereos and ticking clocks.

Important Takeaways:
- The Romanian government has begun working to greatly expand Mihail Kogălniceanu Air Base in the southeast end of the country near the Black Sea. Once complete, the giant NATO base will sprawl over an area twice the size of the U.S. Air Force’s Ramstein Air Base in Germany. The plan to dramatically expand the installation underscores NATO member Romania’s strategic position, which has only been magnified since Russia launched its all-out invasion of Ukraine.
- Overall, the initiative will cost some €2.5 billion (just over $2.7 billion at current conversion rates), paid for by the Romanian government, with work spread out over the next 20 years
- According to Euro News Romania, the base will be able to accommodate 10,000 personnel from Romanian and NATO forces combined, as well as their dependents.
- “We are also designing the necessary infrastructure to be able to host and support ground capabilities, for special operations or any other type of military capability which is necessary to provide a response to the [future] security context”

Important Takeaways:
- The U.S. cannot afford a war with China. The size of our military has been shrinking, and our resources are stretched way too thin.
- Today, the U.S. has military bases in 80 different countries, and we have troops stationed in 178 different countries. That is insane.
- No empire in the entire history of humanity has had forces spread all over the planet like this. Our ammunition levels are extremely low due to major conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, and every war game that our leaders have conducted has shown us losing a war to protect Taiwan. So we should be trying to avoid sparking a war with China, because we are holding a losing hand.
- It is being reported that officials in Taiwan have confirmed that U.S. forces are now permanently stationed “on its islands in the Taiwan Strait”…
- Taiwan has officially confirmed the presence of US troops stationed on its islands in the Taiwan Strait permanently, a development that could further escalate mounting tensions with China.
- The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) passed in 2023 facilitated the deployment of these troops to conduct training programs for Taiwanese frontline forces.
- We are being told that U.S. troops have also been stationed on the Penghu islands and the Kinmen islands…
- According to reports from Taiwan’s United Daily News (UDN), US Army Green Berets from the 1st Special Forces Group are now permanently stationed at bases of the 101st Amphibious Reconnaissance Battalion, a Taiwanese army special operations force, located in outlying island counties of Penghu and Kinmen. Notably, Kinmen lies just over a mile from Chinese shores.
- Additionally, reports suggest an American military presence in the northeast city of Taoyuan on Taiwan’s main island, with service members providing specialized training on drone equipment for Taiwan’s elite Airborne Special Service Company.

Important Takeaways:
- A synthetic opioid or super-strength painkiller, it was designed to be an alternative to morphine.
- Appalled at the incredible potency of nitazenes – and the obvious danger that any patients prescribed them would swiftly become addicted – medical regulators blocked the drug’s release.
- Nitazenes are back and they are now increasingly available on the black market.
- Many of these labs are in China, and the drugs are so powerful that they have been nicknamed ‘Frankenstein’ opioids.
- This is a terrifying development, because nitazenes are 20 times stronger than fentanyl, which in 2022 alone killed 75,000 people in America.
- Another reason for the appearance of nitazenes is a 2019 bilateral agreement between Donald Trump’s administration and China to crack down on the production of Chinese fentanyl.
- Underground Chinese laboratories, fearful of being caught producing the drug, turned to nitazenes instead.
