Spy Fail
China, Russia, North Korea and Iran’s cyberespionage and cyberwarfare operations against the US and Allies have been numerous and increasing in intensity since 2003. The Center for Strategic and International Studies has complied an extensive list of these attacks. There are too many to count. The downloadable text-only pdf file of “Significant Cyber Events” is 828kb in size, nearly 1mb.
Included in this list of cyber events is the Trump/Vance phone hack by China - part of the larger "Salt Typhoon" telecom breach - reported on October of 2024:
Chinese hackers hacked cellphones used by senior members of the Trump-Vance presidential campaign, including phones used by former President Donald Trump and JD Vance as well as people affiliated with the Harris-Walz campaign. It is unclear what data may have been accessed. The FBI is investigating the incident.
US counter-intelligence capabilities are so compromised, they are unable to stop espionage operations from adversaries China, Russia, North Korea and Iran. This is James Bamford's central thesis in Spyfail: Foreign Spies, Moles, Saboteurs, and the Collapse of America's Counterintelligence (2023).
In the opening pages of Spyfail, James Bamford writes:
Under both President's Obama and Trump, thieves were able to walk away with more than half a billion pages of documents classified higher than top secret, some dealing with US war plans, many of which ended up in both Russia and China.
During the Obama administration..[a] thief was able to steal nearly all of the NSA's highly dangerous cyberweapons, the cyber equivalent of loose nukes, and put them up for auction. Eventually they ended up in the hands of Russia and North Korea…and, by extension, China.
…the FBI's own counter-intelligence division…was penetrated almost continuously for nearly forty years, until just recently, by both Russian and Chinese moles...
Due to extensive politicization and incompetence, under both Obama and Trump, the country..became flooded with spies and covert operators…and in 2016 foreign moles were able to penetrate the very highest levels of the both the Clinton and Trump campaigns.
Enter China's “Circus Monkey”
Considering US intelligence’s inability to stop cyberattacks from adversaries, Elon Musk’s links to China and close proximity to President Trump should be viewed as a very serious national security threat.
How deep are Elon Musk's connections to China? Perhaps Vivek Ramashwamy shed a light on this question when he called Elon Musk China's “Circus Monkey.” Additionally, Ramashwamy stated Musk was “beholden to the Chinese Communist Party” and was a “puppet for China.” “I have no reason to think Elon won’t jump like a circus monkey when Xi Jinping calls in the hour of need...” Ramashwamy said on his podcast in May of 2023, as reported by Vanity Fair on December 4, 2024.
China manufactured more than half of Tesla’s vehicles in 2022 and 2023. Manufacturing and business contracts aside, this may also imply Musk is personally compromised by Chinese cyberespionage.
Vivek Ramashwamy recently disassociated himself from DOGE, Musk and Trump.
The far-right Alternative for Germany Party AfD, of which Musk has been an outspoken supporter, has also been used as a vehicle for Chinese and Russian espionage. Germany’s political parties, all of which refuse to enter into a coalition with the AfD, have considered an outright ban of the extremist group.
All of this begs the question: is Elon Musk Donald Trump’s “handler” on behalf of China? It certainly appears to be the case. Both the President and the world's richest man may be personally compromised by Chinese espionage.
Trump’s Reversal on China Tariffs, TikTok, Ends “Salt Typhoon” Investigation, No Support for Taiwan, No Comment on DeepSeek AI Threat
Why did Trump do a “Day One” reversal on proposed US Tariffs against China? On January 23, 2025, Trump stated he “would rather not” impose tariffs on China.
Why is Donald Trump now defending China’s use of TikTok in the United States? The original pretext was a rift with Meta's Mark Zuckerberg. That rift has since been mended.
His comments in The Oval Office on January 22, 2025 dismissing the matter of Chinese cyberespionage seemed shockingly uninformed: “But you can say that about everything made in China – look, we have our telephones made in China for the most part, we have so many things made in China, so why don’t they mention that?”
This is a complete reversal of the Executive Order Trump issued during his first term effectively banning TikTok.
The Chinese "Salt Typhoon" breach has been described as the most devastating in US telecom history.
On January 22, 2025 the Cyber Safety Review Board assigned to the "Salt Typhoon" hack by DHS abruptly ended its investigation at the behest of the new Trump administration. Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon said ending the investigation ”…was a massive gift to the Chinese spies who targeted Trump, Vance and other top political figures.”
But it doesn’t stop there. On January 24, 2025 newly confirmed Secretary of State Marco Rubio told a top China diplomat that the US does not back Taiwan independence.
The hits keep coming. On January 27, 2025, The President said this about the introduction of China's DeepSeek AI:
“The release of DeepSeek AI from a Chinese company should be a wake up call for our industries that we should be laser focused on competing to win. We have the best scientists in the world. This is very unusual. We always have the ideas. We’re always first.”
Let's compare that to initial comments by Isaac Stone Fish, columnist for Barron's Weekly and visiting fellow at The Atlantic Council:
"Please take a deep breath until someone has successfully audited how DeepSeek was built, what chips and computer power it had access to – was it as limited or as cheap as is right now being reported? – and how deeply linked to the Communist Party it is..."
...or this comment from Anthony Kimery at Biometric Update.com:
"DeepSeek’s advanced AI architecture, built on access to vast datasets and cutting-edge processing capabilities, is particularly suited for offensive cybersecurity operations and large-scale exploitation of sensitive information."
"Wenfeng’s close ties to the Chinese Communist Party raises the specter of having had access to the fruits of CCP espionage, which have increasingly focused on U.S. AI R&D."
Wanna-be tech-pundits like The President, detached from realities of national security, cybersecurity and geopolitical matters, need to stay on the sidelines until they're up-to-speed. HR McMaster or James Bamford should be the experts on this matter not a "functionally illiterate" - as Jeffrey Epstein once described Trump - billionaire real estate developer.
Could all this have something to do with the fact China hacked the Trump/Vance phones and the hack went undetected for six months? The answer must be a resounding “Yes.”
What does Xi Jinping have on Trump? Could it be related to Donald Trump's ten-year friendship with pedophile sex offender Jeffrey Epstein? That’s something Trump could never wiggle out of and would destroy his legacy forever. While still alive, Epstein said on tape: “Trump has no moral compass.”
Cyber Incidents Accompanying Trump Events – Not a Coincidence
The US Treasury was the latest victim of Chinese cybercriminals. The Treasury Department was informed of the incident on December 8, 2024 and the breech was made public around December 30, 2024.
The timing of the Treasury attack corresponded to President-elect Trump's announcement of his Presidential Advisory Committee DOGE as the story was making headline news.
Why did President Xi of China still have an invitation to Trump’s inauguration after the latest cyberattack against the US Treasury? It defies logic Trump was on the golf course around the time of the attack and made no comment.
This was yet another “in-your-face” Act of Treason by the President-elect against the United States.
Though Xi Jinping did not accept Trump's invitation, Chinese Vice President Han Zheng did appear at the Inauguration, as did right-wing leaders Georgia Meloni of Italy and Javier Milei of Argentina.
As has been the pattern over and over again, these cyberattacks appear to be coordinated around major Trump events and news.
Google parent company Alphabet sold half of its shares in cybersecurity company CrowdStrike *before* the “global outage” attributed to CrowdStrike on July 19, 2024. The outage occurred one day after the Republican National Convention (RNC).
Trump’s disdain for CrowdStrike has been well-documented by the television newsmagazine 60 Minutes. Google had foreknowledge of the event. The outage was not caused by a faulty CrowdStrike update. The update was intentionally faulty to shut machines down and prevent the cyber pandemic from spreading further.
Who tipped Google off? Perhaps a Chinese spy inside Google flipped? If indeed Chinese spies inside Google have flipped, they have access to the highest levels at the company.
It’s well-known Silicon Valley has a persistent espionage problem. Google's apparent foreknowledge presents another disturbing question: if Google knew in advance of a devastating global computer outage, why didn't the company issue a warning? For Google, this was just another "buy-the-dip" investment opportunity.
The timing of the attack corresponding with the end of the RNC should be extremely concerning. It can’t be stressed enough: these coordinated Trump events and cyber incidents are becoming all-too-frequent occurrences.
A week before the Inauguration of Donald Trump and related events at Capital One Arena in Washington DC, Capital One Bank experienced week-long “system issues impacting payment processing and account information.” The issues were reported to have begun on January 16, 2025 and were resolved on January 19, 2025, a day before the Presidential Inauguration.
This could not be have been yet another coincidence.
We have three cyber incidents now, as documented above, occurring on, before or after major Trump events and news.
“China seeks Nuclear First Strike Capability Against United States”
Trump's former National Security Advisor, HR McMaster, recently warned at an event in Washington that China not only hacked the Trump/Vance phones, but also extracted extraordinary amounts of data from telecom networks - the aforementioned “Salt Typhoon" breach that went undetected for up to two years - and was preparing a first strike nuclear capability against the United States.
According to the Pentagon, China has recently expanded the number of its nuclear warheads to 600 and improved the diversity and sophistication of its arsenal. The US is theoretically unable to stop all incoming Chinese ICBMs. China has shifted to an “ambiguous” first-strike posture against the United States.
It should also be noted China is considered a "bully" in the Asia Pacific region and has no real military allies in South East Asia. China is not well-liked by its neighbors.
What is the implication of HR McMaster's warning? Is China nearing the ability to take the US nuclear arsenal off-line or is it close to achieving some other equivalent roundabout way of doing this? Is China already engaging in nuclear blackmail against the United States and/or the President, Vice-President and other world leaders?
These are all nightmare scenarios amplified by the strong likelihood that President Trump is personally compromised by Chinese cyberespionage.
Additionally, the world's richest man, Elon Musk, occupying an office on the West Wing of the White House, with hundreds of millions of dollars of bribery money at his disposal, makes matters even worse.
Trump’s thirty-one count indictment under the Espionage Act in 2023 does not help alleviate any of these fears.
A Speculative Line of Inquiry Regarding Trump and Mexican Drug Cartels
Do Trump and his entourage – like self-admitted former heroin junkie RFK, Jr - inspire Mexican drug cartels to perform symbolic or ritual criminal acts timed to correspond to key events? Let's have a look at a few such possible incidents.
On or around Trump’s Super Tuesday March 6, 2024 victories there was a noticeably uptick in violence by organized crime in some Mexican states.
On August 22, 2024 a 16-year-old girl named Miria Yamileth Martinez Kennedy was reported missing in Oaxaca, Mexico by the FGEO Fiscalia General del Estado Oaxaca. The day her disappeance was made public on social media was around August 23 or August 24, 2024. On August 24, 2024, Robert Kennedy, Jr officially announced the end of his candidacy for President.
Are the Mexican drug cartels operating Epstein-Maxwell style pedophile sex trafficking rings on behalf of politicians and wealthy individuals in the United States?
Are more than just “cyber events” following Trump and his entourage?
President Trump Must Resign Effective Immediately
Once-upon-a-time it was thought Trump’s so-called “transactional style” to relationships with our adversaries was controversial and a potential national security risk. What has been documented here no longer constitutes a “transactional style,” it amounts to capitulation to a dangerous foreign adversary. China is no less dangerous because the Chinese public "likes" Trump or because The President "perceives" he has a warm friendship with Xi Jinping.
The President has been compromised by the latest Chinese cyberattack. It also appears cyberattacks follow him wherever he goes like a virus. It is clear The President of the United States has become compromised by a foreign power – a major adversary – and is unable to fulfill his duties as Commander-In-Chief. He is unfit for Office. The solution is obvious: the President, Vice-President, including his "handler" Elon Musk must all resign immediately.
71% of the world's population lives under authoritarian regimes. Democracy is rapidly vanishing from our planet. Let's not make Representative Democracy, The Constitution and the Bill of Rights another victim of authoritarianism.
