Georgetown in a 'difficult' position?

[NizNellie3 @NizNellie3]

🚨 I'll be blunt: see this asshole on the right? The one with the spectacles? The one joining hands with former Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, the U.S.-designated terrorist?

That's Badar Khan Suri. He's a professor at Georgetown University. He's from INDIA.

He's not a citizen of the United States. Let me say that again: HE IS NOT A CITIZEN, HE IS A CITIZEN FROM INDIA.

After Joe Biden stole the election, Khan Suri was handed a visa and allowed into the United States as a visiting scholar and postdoctoral fellow at Georgetown.

He was arrested by ICE for alleged ties to Hamas and promoting their propaganda, but released by one of Biden's commie judges.

He now speaks at events trashing our country. He whines about his time in ICE detention, and paints agents as Nazis.

His wife is the daughter of a former Hamas official.

He's still employed by Georgetown. The campus is about to receive over $1 BILLION in federal funding.

A Fox News investigation has uncovered that 90% of the H1-B visas given to citizens of India are obtained through fraudulent credentials.

If DHS had any sense, they'd look into this. Fast.

Mayor Johnson’s Big Con

Mayor Johnson’s latest public relations gambit, his “HomeGrown Grant Program,” will do little to address the affordable housing crisis. The $21 million in low-income grant assistance will help a paltry 300–400 homebuyers, many of whom are likely to be migrants.

The 38% debt-to-income ratio required to qualify for a grant will leave few Chicago residents eligible, in contrast to newly arrived migrants who often have little debt. It is no coincidence that The Resurrection Project, which prioritizes migrant services, was one of only two organizations selected to administer the program.

Through 2025, Johnson’s affordable housing initiatives have amounted to a “recommitment” of $324 million in subsidies to produce just over 500 affordable units. Meanwhile, Chicago is short more than 110,000 affordable rental units and ranks near the bottom among large cities in new housing starts.

Johnson’s latest boogeyman is landlords. He blames them for higher rents, while the real causes are large property tax increases and the dramatic shift in the tax burden onto residential property owners. Last year property taxes rose by almost $570 million on residential properties.

The mayor’s affordable housing plan is a hoax. He has demonstrated no capacity to address Chicago’s housing challenges while his policies financially reward connected developers and allied community organizations. Johnson has instead demonstrated a growing mastery of deception and scapegoating.

1/3 Why does America keep getting China wrong?

It’s not naivety. It’s not ignorance. It's a failure of language.

Washington and other Western institutions describe China as AUTHORITARIAN rather than TOTALITARIAN.

Authoritarian regimes can democratize. South Korea did. Taiwan did. The Philippines did.

Totalitarian ones don't.

This shift in language may be one of the most consequential propaganda victories the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) ever pulled off.

Move on "The Chessboard"!

[UnveiledChina @Unveiled_ChinaX]

Washington just drew a clear battle line through the heart of China’s commercial tech economy.

The Pentagon’s finalized Section 1260H update adds more than 60 additional companies to its military blacklist, bringing the total to 188 flagged firms. This massive expansion turns everyday civilian giants into official national security threats, forcing Western companies to completely audit their technology stacks.

Here is how the new additions break down by sector:

Electric Vehicles & Autonomous Tech
Nio, RoboSense, CALB Group, and EVE Energy: This expands the blacklist far beyond BYD, targeting premium EV manufacturers, lithium-ion battery suppliers, and advanced lidar sensor developers.

Semiconductors & Hardware
YMTC, CXMT, and BOE Technology: Pulls major Chinese memory chipmakers and the world's dominant screen display manufacturers directly into the crosshairs.

TP-Link: Targets consumer networking by blacklisting one of the largest global suppliers of everyday home Wi-Fi routers.

Biotech & Life Sciences
WuXi AppTec and Novogene: Cements restrictions on massive pharmaceutical contract research organizations and genetic sequencing providers over data security anxieties.

Robotics & Clean Energy
Unitree, JA Solar, and Trina Solar: Flags AI-powered robotics pioneers alongside the massive solar energy giants that dominate global green infrastructure.

The corporate countdown is live. Sourcing components or services from these sectors will legally bar companies from securing or renewing US Department of Defense contracts starting June 30, 2026.

Security Concerns? You think?

[UnveiledChina @Unveiled_ChinaX]

A hidden spy camera was just discovered inside a ceiling panel at the absolute heart of the UK government, and intelligence agencies have no idea who is watching. The device was found inside the heavily guarded Whitehall building housing the Home Office and the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government. Security officials are scrambling to figure out how a hostile actor bypassed elite checkpoints to plant the camera, how long it has been recording, and exactly what high-level state secrets have been covertly streamed out of the building.

The timing of this catastrophic breach is terrifying. This exact Whitehall hub was the operational command center where civil servants handled the fiercely contested, fast-tracked approval of China’s new London mega-embassy earlier this year. That massive diplomatic compound, set to be Europe's largest, was pushed through by ministers despite explicit warnings from security experts that the site sits directly over critical fiber-optic cables carrying vital financial and government data. The reality that a covert camera was active in the very offices managing this geopolitical flashpoint raises immediate fears of a successful, high-level foreign intelligence operation.

This breach completely shreds the illusion of Whitehall’s physical security. For a physical spy camera to be hardwired into a ceiling, the perpetrator either possessed an insider security pass or exploited a massive blind spot in maintenance vetting and routine electronic bug sweeps. With a high-stakes judicial review of the Chinese embassy decision looming, MI5 is left racing against the clock to assess the damage to a domestic security hub that has been thoroughly compromised from the inside out.

[Spotlight on China @spotlightoncn]

Chinese triads are being ordered by Beijing to carry out espionage operations in the UK, according to a newly declassified report.

Notorious gangs running brothels and selling illicit tobacco are now 'backed' by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in a 'significant threat to national security', the Home Office research shows.

The report, based on interviews across 14 law enforcement agencies, warns triads could even use their UK brothel networks to 'blackmail' MPs.

This follows the recent Old Bailey conviction of a Chinese spy ring conducting 'shadow policing' for Beijing, where evidence suggested Chinese gangs violently targeted pro-democracy activists in the UK in 2021.

Despite triads being the UK's second-largest organised crime group, traditionally focused on exploitation and illicit trades, growing CCP links have escalated their activities into a pressing national security issue.

The declassified report warned Beijing could now use these syndicates to facilitate UK espionage, cybercrime, and institutional infiltration through bribery and political funding.

It specifically noted that Chinese control of sex work could be leveraged to gather intelligence and coerce influential British figures.

However, the report found that a lack of Chinese speakers in law enforcement and limited police knowledge allowed triad members to easily evade justice.

Former Metropolitan Police detective David McKelvey said forces dismantled specialist units over a decade ago, leaving police playing catch-up as triads expand into fentanyl production and human trafficking.

'There is clearly a very strong link between Chinese organised crime and the Chinese state,' McKelvey told The Mail on Sunday, calling them the most sophisticated operations he had ever seen.

McKelvey recently gave evidence against Peter Wai, a Home Office immigration official who exploited remote working policies to access sensitive government databases for Beijing.

Wai and retired Hong Kong police officer Bill Yuen were convicted of spying on UK-based Chinese dissidents and senior MPs, including Sir Iain Duncan Smith.

During the trial, correspondence between Wai and his handler suggested the infamous 14K triad targeted UK pro-democracy activists and allegedly sought help from a prominent London restaurant owner.

The court also heard that eight other suspected spies fled to China after police failed to translate their devices before the 14-day statutory detention limit expired.

The trial named To Ming Lam, 73, founder of the Royal China Group restaurant chain, as the individual allegedly linked to the 14K triad in Hong Kong, though no evidence suggested he participated in criminal conduct.

A Chinese handler's messages claimed a triad boss 'might have asked him for help' targeting a Chinese dissident, and the court heard Wai had worked security for one of Lam's family businesses.

Lam has been pictured repeatedly with convicted spy Bill Yuen through his links to the Hong Kong Economic Trade Office, though there is no suggestion Lam was involved in Yuen's espionage crimes.

Lam's restaurant group was previously fined nearly half a million pounds in 2024 following Home Office raids that uncovered at least 20 illegal workers.

In response to the findings, a Home Office spokesman maintained that the UK directly challenges China over actions risking domestic safety and is bolstering the National Crime Agency to combat these overseas networks.

🚨 ECONOMIC JIHAD IN FLORIDA....

Muslim-Only App GoMarhaba Is Openly Boycotting Non-Muslim Businesses to Build a Parallel Islamic Economy

Florida just became ground zero for a calculated economic power play.

The new platform GoMarhaba (https://t.co/HT4ZhP0Hk2 and app) isn’t some innocent “buy local” directory. It’s explicitly designed as a Muslim-only marketplace - a closed-loop system that redirects every dollar away from non-Muslim businesses and traps it inside the ummah.

Here’s how it works, straight from their own promo videos and site:

“Keep our money circulating within the community so we can build the strength that we need to effectively serve our faith.”

“A boycott, a section, then a redirect. Where do we go? To Go Marhaba.”

“Keep our money in-house and build autonomy in-house… This is the economic power that we need.”

The website spells it out: Muslim households buy from Muslim grocers → who hire Muslim accountants → who hire Muslim roofers, and so on. The goal? Make the Muslim dollar “circulate 10 times before it leaves our community” - rendering everyone else economically irrelevant.

Proof it’s exclusive:

When you try to list a business, the very first question is: “Is this business owned by a Muslim?” Pick “No” and you’re shut out. Non-Muslims are invisible. This isn’t community support, it’s engineered segregation.

Founder Hiba Rahim is Deputy Executive Director of CAIR-Florida. Yes, the same CAIR with deep ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terror-financing trial in U.S. history. The same CAIR that Florida is trying to designate as a foreign terrorist organization.

Promoters include former CAIR-FL's dangerous Hassan Shibly and terror-tied Imam Tom Facchine - both openly pushing the app.

This is the internal front of the strategy, the Muslim Brotherhood’s own 1991 memo described: build a “small Islamic society” inside the host nation - a self-sufficient “beehive” that doesn’t depend on the kuffar.

While CAIR demands “inclusion,” “diversity,” and taxpayer-funded programs, their operatives are quietly constructing a parallel economy that boycotts the rest of America.

This is economic jihad - severing ties with outsiders to amass power from within.

Florida is the test run. It’s spreading nationwide.

Wake up before the circle closes, and they'll boycott you out of existence.

Demand answers:

Why are CAIR-linked figures allowed to openly build boycott tools against American businesses?

Where’s the media? Where’s the outrage from “tolerance” enforcers?

Share this. Contact your officials. Support businesses that don’t exclude you.

Go local. Go American. Reject the fortress.

Got DEBT?

[UnveiledChina @Unveiled_ChinaX]

China will officially dethrone the US as the world’s largest economy within a decade. That is the definitive warning from 90-year-old Hong Kong billionaire and infrastructure pioneer Gordon Wu, who claims America’s astronomical debt has set its decline in stone.

In a rare interview with the South China Morning Post, the Princeton-educated civil engineer argued that Washington’s massive $39 trillion national debt and $1.5 trillion defense budget represent its ultimate Achilles' heel. Historically, empires that overspend on military warfare while sacrificing their industrial and technological edge eventually cede global dominance to rising Asian powers.

Wu's bold prediction carries immense weight given his legendary status as the "King of Highways." He was one of the earliest pioneers to invest heavily in mainland China following its reform and opening-up in the 1980s. For over four decades, Wu channeled billions into critical mainland infrastructure, pioneering early Build-Operate-Transfer projects, massive toll roads, and essential power plants. He was also one of the primary visionaries behind the mega-engineering marvel that is the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge.

This unyielding, lifelong optimism stands in sharp contrast to the strategy of other iconic Hong Kong tycoons, like Li Ka-shing. While Li's empire has spent years selling off Greater China assets to diversify heavily into Western markets, Wu has consistently kept his skin in the game. Instead of fleeing, Wu urges Hong Kong to remain aggressively pragmatic. He states the city must refuse to pick sides in the geopolitical crossfire, choosing instead to leverage its unique financial status to siphon highly fluid American private wealth.

As global billionaires split their fortunes between Western diversification and Eastern integration, can a neutral Hong Kong successfully straddle both worlds, or will escalating superpower tensions force an unavoidable economic reckoning?
