China funding for Palestine protests; US shuts down ChiCom hackers | Hour 2

All right, so.... Along the same lines, and I do have some texts that I will read regarding last hour's discussion about the designation of these leftist organizations as global terrorist supporters. A slash I collective out of Italy, Palestine Action for the for the. They're inciting of violence and they're building of. Tools, technological tools, websites and all this stuff that the leftists have been using for the better part of two decades now to target Western civilization. And the State Department and Treasury Department have just labeled them foreign terrorist organizations. And so now if you're donating any money or using these platforms, you are now providing material support to terrorists. And you could go to prison for a while. for those types of charges. So just a heads up. Okay. If you're using those platforms or donating money to those platforms, um, you could be in some big trouble if you do so again, heads up. In a related story. China is suspected of funding pro Palestine marches in the UK. That's so weird. I didn't know that China was such a big believer in the Palestinian cause, right? I mean, when you think about it, like they've actually been pretty harsh to their Muslim population, the Uyghurs. But apparently in the UK, they're all about the kafir. They're all about the pro-Palestine marches from the river to the sea. Totally not a genocide. Not calling for genocide, calls for globalizing the Intifada, totally not calling for violence. Ask yourself, and this is what I ask about the data center opposition propaganda as well. Why would China be funding these operations? Why would China be funneling money to organizations that are engaging in these kinds of activities in the Western world? Obviously, China sees a strategic value in dividing us, causing problems, exacerbating divisions that may already exist, amping everything up, demoralization, creating chaos and problems, right? Just like with the data centers, you can foment that discord and division and You can block a bunch of the data centers being built, and then China can accelerate its buildings, its building of data centers, and it can then win the AI race. And that means they get to write the rules. Everything has to comply with what they prefer. So China, according to the report at the Telegraph, U.S. politicians investigating alleged secret Chinese backing of Code Pink, a far-left organization formerly feminist protest group, but now they're, because once again, the issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution. And so it doesn't really matter. Code Pink has got its hands in everything that is anti-West and pro-Commie, right? And remember, one of the co-founders of Code Pink is married to the Chinese tech mogul, Neville Roy Singham, who lives in Shanghai now. And he set up and funds the People's Forum. So when I play these clips of the DSA, they're making their comments and speeches and their panel discussions at the People's Forum. The funding is coming from China for a reason. Let's just think this through logically. Why would China be funding the DSA? Why are they trying to do that? they obviously see some advantage that they could have by having the rise of socialism in America, socialists winning office, right? They can see value for themselves. So they have been funneling money through the American system into these quote unquote grassroots organizations that mobilize and, um, and instigate problems. So, um, US politicians, US government has been investigating the Chinese support of Code Pink. They're also examining its activities, Chinese activities in Britain as part of an inquiry into foreign interference. And Code Pink has also organized many protests in the UK. The Telegraph revealed that the US investigation is looking into 250,000 pounds in a lead, that's currency, not weight, in alleged payments to a U.K. company linked to Code Pink from firms connected to Neville Roy Singham, a tech tycoon accused of financing Chinese propaganda worldwide. Jason Smith, the chairman of the U.S. Congress Ways and Means Committee, the House Ways and Means Committee, told the Telegraph newspaper, quote, The committee is well aware that Singham's funding is supporting pro-Hamas and pro-communist causes, not only in the United States, but also overseas, including the UK. Code Pink, in the US, has received millions of dollars from Singham, who is facing multiple inquiries into his network and whether it disseminated pro-China propaganda on behalf of the communist regime in Beijing. A congressional committee has claimed that Code Pink founded by Jody Evans, one of the co-founders, Jody Evans, who is married to Neville Roy Singham, Code Pink appeared to have been funded and influenced by Singham and the Chinese Communist government. Code Pink has been running a propaganda campaign called China is not our enemy. Just in case you weren't clear about As to what a propaganda campaign might look like, this is one. This is what it would look like. China's not our enemy. It's the billionaires. Right? I'm sure. The Telegraph said Code Pink did not respond to a request for comment, but has previously called the allegations, quote, a big fat lie. The other co-founder of Code Pink, Medea Benjamin, told the Washington Times, quote, we get zero money from the Chinese Communist Party, end quote. Note what she does there. The accusation is not that the Tricoms are funding Code Pink. The accusation is that Code Pink is amplifying and spreading propaganda from China. Their funding is coming from Neville Roy Singham. Neville Roy Singham made millions and millions of dollars, hundreds of millions, in the tech sector. And he now lives in China. And the connection there is that the Tricoms are passing along through Singham and his network, passing along the Tricom propaganda. Not that they are funding it. So when Code Pink says we get zero money from the Chinese Communist Party, that may technically be true. You're getting your money from a commie, though. You're getting it from Singham, who lives in China, and you're spreading the Chinese propaganda. Ian Duncan Smith at The Telegraph wrote a piece, headline, Nobody can now pretend China is not our enemy. He said for far too long, Western governments will lulled into a dangerous stupor by the siren song of the so-called golden era of relations with China. This government hasn't learned either thawing relations with Beijing in a desperate and naive hope for growth. Everybody thinks like, Oh, if we just buddy up to China, we're going to get more GDP. We're going to get growth. We're going to get a increased standard of living and all of this stuff. And they are using China, our own civilization and systems against us. They've been doing it for a very long time.

Hello, Mike. Oh, Pete. Hey. Thanks for taking my call. Yes, sir. What's up? I wanted to comment on what you've been talking about. Well, that's good. Yeah, yeah. Technology and AI and all that stuff. Okay. But you know, This is really nothing new, and I think it's by design, but the American public has had it so good, so long, that you're doing the right thing. You're speaking in unknown tongues. A lot of these people have no idea what you're talking about. This audience probably does, but a lot of this newer generation, it's like. If they have. The latest iPhones... They go to Starbucks. They don't really know what's going on in the world. But my comment was Hitler had Joseph Goebbels with the Public Information Ministry of Enlightenment. You ever heard of that? I've not heard that. I thought it was like the Ministry of Truth. It's the same thing that's happening with social media. They control the message. And people didn't know what was going on. And I believe that's what's happening now. The Russians, the communists, had the Politburo. But what you're talking about is 100% dead on because people need to understand this is going to end without change because these communists, these DSAs, are really a fundamentalist jihadist organization. And they're singing a nice song, and they're very eloquent to these people in New York and other places, where they talk about food stores, LBGTGT safe spaces. But if they get in power like they want, they'll kill those people. They don't understand that. No, I've talked about the way the Red-Green Alliance always shakes out is what we saw. Right. You're dead on, but how do you get these people to listen? I tell them to go to the podcast, thepeatpod.com. Subscribe. It's totally free. I'm talking about the general public. That's what I'm talking to. Yeah, they just won't take the time, is my fear. Well, I mean, that's why, yeah, I mean, so that is, I would just caution you, because it sounds like you've taken at least a step down the path towards doomerism or Blackpillville. Don't go down that path, okay? If you believe that all is lost and nobody's listening and there's no way to fight an ideology by, you know, combating it and talking about this stuff, if you already believe you can't make the difference, then you are correct. But I don't believe that. I think I try to make a difference. Yeah. So, so you're right. So the, so the way you combat an ideology is through ideology, right? Is to combat it in the, in the, the arena of ideas. It's like so many people don't even vote. Fundamental thing you've got to do to protect your freedom. They don't even care about that. Yeah. Well, I mean, and I would prefer people that want to, you know, preserve the American way of life. I would prefer more of those people voting. than people who want to destroy it. But that's the thing. It's like when people don't believe that their vote matters or everything is fine and they just check out, I. Don't follow this stuff, right? And they are literally not even doing the bare minimum to help preserve the civilization. Yeah, that's a problem. But that's why you have to, you know, you have to combat that idea. And look, I used to believe that, you know, I remember somebody told me a long time ago, oh, if voting really changed anything, they wouldn't let us do it. And I I almost bought into that and went down that path myself, you know, what, 15, 20 years ago. But I don't believe that. I've seen enough to know that elections do have consequences. And so the way you change course is by voting and by getting involved and helping with campaigns, running phone banks, knocking on doors, donating to candidates, right? And that's not to say that you have to be on board with every single thing a candidate believes in or a party especially. But if you just check out, then you're surrendering the field. Now, I'm not saying you. I'm saying just the king's you, if you will, like the universal you. Mike, I appreciate the call, sir. Thank you. Whenever I hear people, it kind of sounds like they're embarking on this. Path of all is lost already. If you already believe that, then I don't even know why you're listening to the show. I really don't. Like, what's the point? If you already believe all is lost, then what is this? What is it that you're doing? Why listen? Why get information? Why know what's going on if all is lost already, right? Every waking moment you have should be building a bunker and preparing for whatever end times you think are coming. So, like, I'm talking to, I'm trying to talk to you people that do not believe all is lost. They believe that being engaged matters and can affect change and that the way to combat these bad ideas, which have been around for eternity. I mean, like ever since, like what is it? And I've talked about communism, Marxism, right? And I've described it as an evil ideology. It is rooted in envy and greed. And this has been around since Cain and Abel. So this is nothing new. And for people then to turn around and say, well, oh, you know, it's all, all is lost and we just need to, you know, run away and run away. It's like, go move to a different place and whatever versus no, you, you stay and you fight and you fight by making these arguments and by, you know, becoming informed and educated and enlightened on all of these ideologies and on the, The debate tactics and the history and that– and this way you are able to combat these ideas when confronted with. That's why when people get mad at me and they're like, why are you letting this left-winger call into the show and you're giving them all this time and you're arguing with them? And I do that because I hope to give people examples of how to combat this stuff when you hear it out in the wild, right? That's what I'm doing. From the text line, Trent says, of course we would not see this stuff, Pete. The people being exposed and isolated now are the ones Democrats use to push their message by force. They scream about going after the militant terrorist groups because they need them to scare normies into submission. And Eddie says, why is the revolution not being shut down? I think that's what we are seeing. That's why I'm bringing you these stories. I collect these stories over a couple weeks, and then I bring them all to you sort of in a lump sum. And that's what I'm communicating is that there are efforts underway. We may not see them all because these things take time to investigate and develop and then bring charges and that sort of stuff. But, I mean, we just designated one of their major nodes for the leftist militants. We just designated it as a terrorist organization. That's really big. That's a really big deal. You have all these different groups that are using their technological toolkit to build out this digital infrastructure where they communicate with each other, they organize their attacks and all of this, and that just got labeled a terrorist organization. Nobody can deal with them now. They're debanked. So that's a pretty big deal. Let me jump over here and chat with John. Hello, John. Welcome to the show. Yes, sir. Hey. Hey. While I was waiting to get on there, you said everything I was going to say. All right. Well, then thank you for calling, John. I appreciate it. You know, it may be very weary to always be constantly having to battle the left. But if you understand that the left's only means of wealth, really, is to subjugate some portion of the population. And if you realize that, okay, yeah, it's just going to be a constant battle because that's their constant method of getting wealth and power is through the political sphere. Right. You have to protect the store of value, right? If you've got something of value, whether it's an institution or a grain silo or whatever, and you have to guard against anything that would come in and destroy it, and this is no different. Civilization is no different. Yep. I concur. Your geniosity never ceases to amaze me. Me neither. Yes, sir. Thank you, John. I appreciate the call. Thanks. That is a word, by the way, geniosity. Um, I think I read trends already. Yes, I did read trends. Mark says, uh, what are you talking about? Pete? Don't you know? Biden said in the Howard university commencement speech that white supremacy is the most dangerous terrorist threat to the homeland. That's right. Come on, man. And of course, uh, the report from the DOD was hidden faster than media coverage of the Fauci diaries. Um, Yeah, so this is always the inversion that we are subjected to. It's all right-wing violence. There's no such thing as left-wing violence. And if there is, there's only a smidge, just a teensy-weensy little bit. But now we have the research over the last decade that shows quite the opposite, that the left-wing violence has been increasing and is now more prevalent than whatever right-wing violence was occurring 30 years ago. And then you've got the Chinese. See, again, the The internet is a digital battle space. And Ian Duncan Smith at The Telegraph, he says, too many policymakers convinced themselves that commercial integration with China would inevitably lead to political convergence. Instead, Beijing saw, in our good faith, an opportunity to deepen their infiltration of our institutions, manipulate our public square, and weaponize our open society against us. For totalitarian regimes, our freedoms are an existential challenge to their authority and a weakness for them to exploit. The potential secret funding of pro-Palestine demonstrations reflects a deliberate, methodical execution of a military doctrine that the Chinese state published a quarter of a century ago. I've referred to this. This is the smokeless battlefield that the tricoms talk about. In 1999, two senior officers in the People's Liberation Army named Qiao Yalang and Wang Zhangshui authored a seminal text titled Unrestricted Warfare. Their thesis was simple yet radical. Classical military conflict was no longer the primary means to defeat an adversary. Instead, warfare would be expanded across every conceivable domain of human activity, including political subversion and the exploitation of social division. as Leng and Cheng Shui made crystal clear, modern conflict requires, quote, using all means, including armed force and non-armed force, military and non-military, lethal and non-lethal means to compel the enemy to accept one's interests. They summarized the core tenet of this total war philosophy as such, quote, the first rule, of unrestricted warfare is that there are no rules with nothing forbidden. Look at the scale of China's global cyber attacks on Western nations. This doctrine accounts for exactly the kind of activity uncovered in these covert funding networks. By covertly backing fringe political groups, encouraging protests outside military sites, amplifying divisive narratives that Western leaders are bought off, Beijing aims to weaken our resolve and fracture our domestic peace. Look at the international standard-setting bodies where Beijing aggressively packs committees to ensure the foundational protocols of tomorrow's telecom and artificial intelligence are written on Chinese terms. Look at how China has become the central power in the rise of totalitarian states. Russia, for example, could not have continued the war in Ukraine without Beijing's support. It is believed the Chinese have also supported the IRGC, particularly in its supply of drones for Russia. And don't forget China's support for the brutal regime in Myanmar. Right? The smokeless battlefield. They've made no secret of this strategy. They've told the tricoms to seize international discourse power, they call it. and demanding full integration of military and civilian technology. It's all one. It is a totalizing ideology that they have there, too. Just like Islam. This is why they band together. Temporarily. Regarding the comment here at the Telegraph about the scale of China's global cyber attacks on Western nations, yesterday afternoon, the Justice Department and FBI announced court-authorized domain seizures. So these are the URLs, the internet domains. So courts have allowed the government to seize domains in order to deny malicious cyber actors access to two complimentary, not like giving praise or compliments, but that they complement each other, they work together. Two different hacking platforms. One is called Qscan and another is called QTRouter. And these two domains were used to target U.S. critical infrastructure as well as other sensitive networks. As described in court documents unsealed in the Southern District of California, a People's Republic of China, PRC, a Chinese state-sponsored group known as QTFY, created and operated these two domains, and among the victims of the intrusion activity were NASA, the Federal Reserve, the Department of Energy, the Department of Justice, the Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health, and the U.S. Senate. Attorney General Todd Blanch said, quote, federal law enforcement investigated and disabled the PRC's malicious software, the latest in a series of technical operations to dismantle indiscriminate hacking activities sponsored by the People's Republic of China. They are not our friends, people. Today, we announced the disruption of a global botnet and hacking platform used by Chinese state-sponsored hackers to target U.S. critical infrastructure, said Kash Patel. These tools were used by PRC cyber actors to hide the origin of their attacks. Thanks to the work of the FBI San Diego, FBI Cyber Division, DOJ partners, we seized adversary infrastructure and shut these platforms down. According to the court documents, QTFY offers computer hacking services to its paying customers, including the PRC's Ministry of State Security and the People's Liberation Army. These computer hacking services include QScan and QT Router, which work in conjunction with each other. QScan scans and automatically infects thousands of devices. These are called Internet of Things, or IoT devices, all across the planet, which are then added to the QT Router network of devices that are controlled by QTFY. QT Router consists of these compromised devices IoT devices as well as commercial proxy service devices and leased virtual private servers. QT Router then serves as an obfuscation network, meaning it allows QTFY and other malicious cyber actors to conceal the Chinese origin of their computer intrusion activities because the malicious communications appear to originate from computers that are outside of China and may even look to be local to the targeted networks. Because the seized domains were hard-coded into both the Q-scan and QT router malware and used for essential tasks like communication and authentication, the court-ordered seizures made Q-scan and QT router inoperable. So they've shot him down. Not the first time. Last year, the. FBI removed PlugX surveillance malware from more than 4,000 U.S. Computers. In 2024, the FBI disabled a botnet consisting of hundreds of thousands of infected Internet of Things devices, which the Tricom-sponsored hacking group Flax Typhoon was providing to customers in the Chinese government. A year before that, 2023, the FBI disrupted a different botnet that was used by a hacking group called Volt Typhoon to conceal their exploitation of U.S. And foreign critical infrastructure. This is an ongoing problem. In a related story, yesterday as well, President Trump signed an executive order declaring a national emergency and banning the use of some foreign equipment in the U.S. electricity grid. Folks, all of this stuff came out yesterday. I'm not a rocket scientist or a tech guru here, but these dots are big enough for me to connect. The order that Trump signed, the White House described as an unusual and extraordinary foreign threat posed by foreign-made bulk power systems that may present national security vulnerabilities. Trump's order, the latest example of Washington's approach to tackling tech threats posed by China, follows a decision by the European Commission early this year to ban Chinese-made inverters from publicly funded energy projects. Okay, what's an inverter? If you have solar panels on your home and you are sending electricity back to the grid and that inverter was made in China, it may have a dual use. China may be using residential and commercial inverters in order to disrupt our electricity grid if it needs to. Last year, Reuters reported that rogue communication devices not listed in product documents had been found in some Chinese solar power inverters by U.S. experts who stripped down equipment, hooked up to grids to check for security issues. Remember this story last year? They take apart these inverters and they find stuff in there that is not part of the design. Why would these things be in the inverters? nefarious purposes. So under this order that Trump signed yesterday, certain foreign-produced bulk power system electric equipment, including associated critical software and digital capabilities that could pose cybersecurity or operational risks, will be barred from being purchased or installed in the U.S. The order also asks the U.S. Energy Secretary to impose conditions on the continued use and operation of such equipment to address concerns identified by the administration. Why would China be inserting devices into the electricity components? What other purpose could this be for except to exploit vulnerabilities in our grid to harm us? This is, once again, the smokeless battlefield. Again, China is not our friend. They are an adversary. And it was a mistake to give them most favored nation status, to welcome them into the world economy, to treat them as if they're just some emerging global economic friend or ally that's just wanting to make a higher standard of living for their people. That's not what they're about. They want to be the global hegemon, and they have to unseat us to do so. All right, that'll do it for this episode. Thank you so much for listening.
