“A Chinese tracking device was reportedly planted in the UK Prime Minister's official car, MPs were told this week.

The bug sat in a sealed, China-made part of the vehicle back in 2022, quietly beaming location data to Beijing through its cellular module, according to China expert Charles Parton's testimony to the Commons.

It's still not clear which of that year's 3 Tory PMs, Johnson, Truss, or Sunak, was the target.

Parton's warning went bigger: these modules are in everything now, from cars to doorbells, and whoever controls them could shut your vehicle off at will.”

"The US counter-blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is leaking. Brandon Weichert says the Navy simply doesn't have enough ships to stop it. Chinese vessels are almost certainly slipping through untouched, and the whole operation was improvised under pressure with no real plan behind it. "You have the physical presence of the U.S. navy for the blockade to be effective."

PARIS, June 9 (Reuters) - It would be "unwise" to assume that the situation in the Strait of Hormuz will return to how it was ​before the Iran war, the head of French shipping group CMA ‌CGM said on Tuesday.

Marc Andreessen admits that “AI will make it easier for bad people to do bad things.” The U.S. Treasury Secretary takes this threat seriously. “If we don’t win in AI,” Scott Bessent recently told journalist Mark Halperin, “then it’s game over.”

59 years ago today, Israel attacked the USS Liberty in international waters. 34 crew members were killed and 174 were wounded by the IDF.

Today, I spoke on the House floor to honor the fallen and to recognize the survivors who were present in the gallery.

This is worse than we thought.

Originally I thought it was hidden in the bill and most who voted for it didn’t know it was in there.

Now they are made aware and have the opportunity to remove it, and they REFUSE.

This is NOT ok.

Israeli minister calls for kidnapping of Lebanese women and children to break Hezbollah morale
——
Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir urged the political-security cabinet to abduct and imprison Lebanese women and children as a psychological warfare tactic against Hezbollah, according to a closed-door leak published by Hebrew news outlet Walla.

During a high-level ministerial meeting reviewing expanded military calculations, Ben-Gvir demanded that Tel Aviv abandon conventional strategy and explicitly target the social and familial core of the Lebanese resistance network.

"We must think outside the box regarding Hezbollah," Ben-Gvir asserted to his fellow cabinet members, according to the report. The Israeli minister added that alongside occupying southern territory and intensifying lethal strikes on personnel, Israeli forces should actively round up civilians.

"We should arrest their women and children and take them to prison; this is what hurts them the most," he stated.

“China may be putting Panama under pressure after it moved closer to Washington.

China detained record numbers of Panama-flagged ships in March, April, and May, while Chinese companies are reportedly refusing loans to ship owners using Panama’s flag.

This came after Panama moved to remove a Hong Kong company from two key canal ports and sell them to an American-led group.

Now Panama is stuck between its biggest canal customer, the U.S., and a maritime deal with China that expires in July.”

“Israel struck Beirut, Iran struck northern Israel and Israel's response to that exchange was to block all aid to Gaza.

Lt. Col. Anthony Aguilar says Israel now controls 80% of Gaza on the ground, with the remaining population crammed into 20% of the territory that is marked by open sewage, famine, and a polio outbreak.

He has been there and seen it firsthand.

Iran attacks Israel and Gaza pays the price.”

Constitution requires two-thirds vote from the Senate to bind us to another country.

They hid it in the bill because they knew it was unconstitutional.

It’s treasonous as far as I’m concerned.

Every single person who voted for this needs removed from office.

"Thirty years ago, the West handed China control of critical mineral processing to keep it out of their backyards.

Jeffrey Currie just explained how that decision became a national security crisis.

"They control the critical minerals. And now let's put the BRICs together. You know, is this really... BRICs versus G7."

China has the atoms, the molecules, the calories, and the chips.

The West is only now realizing what it gave away.”

"Israel's attack on Beirut yesterday lit the fuse of an inevitable escalation between them and Iran, which led to Tehran launching missiles overnight at Israeli targets."

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

RECAP:

Israel's attack on Beirut yesterday lit the fuse of an inevitable escalation between them and Iran, which led to Tehran launching missiles overnight at Israeli targets.

Trump tried to intervene, claiming he knew nothing of the Beirut attack and told Netanyahu not to retaliate. Nevertheless, Israel struck Iran and they're both continuing to engage in tit-for-tat reprisals.

The Houthis also joined in, launching a missile at Israel, which the IDF said they'd intercepted.

While Trump was hoping for a peace deal to be signed this week, it looks like the situation has reset, with Israel estimating attacks between both countries will continue for "several days."

So far, the U.S hasn't joined in any of the attacks, although the Commander of CENTCOM is in close contact with Israel.
