//The Wire//2300Z September 19, 2025// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: RUSSIAN AIRCRAFT INCURSION REPORTED IN ESTONIA. POCKETS OF CIVIL UNREST BECOME SOLIDIFIED IN CHICAGO AS LOCALS CONTINUE TO OPPOSE ICE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events- Europe: Controversy has continued over the past few days regarding the Online Safety Act. Details are hard to verify, however users noted that they could not access the Bible Gateway app from a British or European IP address yesterday afternoon. In a statement posted to their website, the app was reportedly offline due to "technical issues". Some time after this notice was posted, the main support website was taken down completely. Analyst Comment: It's not clear as to if this is a technical problem unrelated to censorship efforts, or if this website was taken offline due to noncompliance with the Online Safety Act. Either way, this app has a very large userbase, so answers will be sought regarding what is going on. Estonia: This morning several Russian fighter aircraft reportedly violated Estonian airspace. Estonia stated that 3x Russian MiG-31 fighters entered their airspace, remaining inside Estonia for 12 minutes before departing. 3x Italian F-35's were scrambled to respond to the incursion, though it is unclear as to if the Russian aircraft were actually intercepted. This morning Estonia enacted Article 4 of the NATO charter, which mandates a meeting of NATO to discuss the incident. This afternoon, Polish authorities reported that 2x Russian fighter aircraft conducted a low-pass flyover of a Polish oil rig platform in the Baltic Sea. -HomeFront- Utah: A truck driver was arrested yesterday after a minor traffic incident led to the discovery of two children in the back of his truck. Jacob Ortell Scott was arrested after two girls (aged 12 and 14) were found in the refrigerated trailer he was hauling, which turned out to be his sisters. Analyst Comment: Very few details have become public regarding this strange case, but local journalists are set on this not being a human trafficking case, simply because the driver was related to the children in his trailer. This is not a certainty, and the mere act itself is exceptionally suspicious; this could have been trafficking or attempted murder, or anything in between. Illinois: This morning local tensions flared in Chicago as activists have intensified operations to disrupt ICE, with local politicians urging resistance to deportations as well. Various ICE facilities around the city have been targeted by demonstrators attempting to prevent access to the facilities. Several federal vehicles have been attacked and the tires slashed by rioters, and a few dozen protesters (mostly led by local politicians or political candidates) remained demonstrating outside federal facilities throughout the day. -----END TEARLINE----- Analyst Comments: Violating Estonia's airspace is a classic Russian pastime, so even though Estonia is (understandably) freaking out about it, this incident is the fourth time airspace violations have been reported this year alone. This is mostly due to where the airspace violations are taking place...over the Gulf of Finland. Due to the very tight geography of the region, Russia can very easily violate Estonia's airspace by flying across the east-west corridor over the Gulf. Most of the time, Russia uses this as a way of poking Estonia and thus conveying their regional power to NATO. In this case, Russia chose to "poke" this time using MiG-31s...a platform that was a powerhouse during the Cold War, but is a bit dated today and is in the process of being phased out. This is probably an attempt to bully Estonia (again, as Russia is known to do), but in such a manner that is "softer" than sending Su-35's or another more modern platform. Nevertheless, the Cold War antics will continue to escalate as diplomatic effort

//The Wire//2300Z September 18, 2025// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: TRUMP STATES INTENT TO CLASSIFY ANTIFA AS TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. CHICAGO MAYOR LAMENTS IMPENDING NATIONAL GUARD DEPLOYMENT.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -HomeFront- Illinois: Statements by local mayor Brandon Johnson have continued to escalate as the National Guard deployment to Chicago draws near. Johnson stated that “Jails and incarceration and law enforcement is a sickness that has not led to safe communities”, and that he intends to "eradicate" this "sickness". Analyst Comment: It is often a hard sell to convince the public that putting violent criminals in prison is against the best interests of the taxpayer, but Johnson continues to make that argument nonetheless. Right now there is no real confirmation of how the National Guard QRF is to be deployed around the city, though city and state opposition has been high. California: Following yesterday's statements by the FCC Chairman, the ABC network has pulled the Jimmy Kimmel show from it's timeslot indefinitely. Analyst Comment: The network does not care about the crass statements that were made, as it encouraged this behavior for many years. However, getting their license yanked at a time where their ratings are already down would not have been a positive outcome for them. Washington D.C. - Yesterday evening President Trump stated his intent to designate ANTIFA as a terrorist organization on social media. -----END TEARLINE----- Analyst Comments: Beyond President Trump's short post on social media, no details have been provided on this designation yet, or how it's going to work out paperwork-wise. ANTIFA certainly has foreign roots, but in most cases is not explicitly foreign-controlled, so a designation by the State Department as being an FTO might not be an adequate fit. Nevertheless, if the intent is to create a label that ensures more federal charges can be pursued against militants (instead of the catch-and-release that ANTIFA is used to), there are plenty of options. The White House is probably also looking at RICO options regarding the bail-fund practices for ANTIFA members, which have industrialized the process of rotating through the court system. More directly, ANTIFA activities are certain to increase due to this designation, whatever it works out to be. Low-level demonstrations are certain to take place in the usual areas, and more kinetic "Direct Action" attacks are also quite likely to spring up, though larger efforts may take some time to organize. Either way, ANTIFA can certainly mobilize faster than government forces can respond in most cases, though the biggest barriers to ANTIFA operations right now are funding and a lack of coherent picture at higher levels of organization. For many years, ANTIFA has had no natural predators in their environment, and has been allowed to conduct all manner of activities without any sort of barriers at all. Designating this group as a terrorist organization also isn't really necessary; almost all ANTIFA publications directly state that they seek to use violence to further their political goals...which is the textbook definition of terrorism. Where a federal "terrorism" label (however it works out) can be applied, is in cases where local prosecutors won't prosecute terrorist attacks, or more importantly, in the dismantling of the financial networks which have openly been operating under shady LLCs and nonprofit groups, which have acted as shell corporations for ANTIFA funding sources. This still requires federal agencies and prosecutors to *actually prosecute* under the current laws that exist, which is still a bridge too far in most jurisdictions.

//The Wire//2300Z September 17, 2025// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: MEDEVAC HELICOPTER SHOT IN ALABAMA. VANDALISM CONTINUES AT MEMORIALS AROUND USA. VEHICLE RAMMING ATTACK REPORTED AT FBI OFFICE IN PITTSBURGH.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -HomeFront- USA: Around the nation, various vandalism incidents continue at Charlie Kirk memorials. In North Carolina, a memorial was defaced at the UNC Wilmington campus, with the university making statements that passively endorsed the behavior and that no action will be taken. In Florida, the memorials painted at the "Graffiti Bridge" in Pensacola have also been heavily defaced over the past 24 hours, and another memorial was defaced in Arkansas as well. Pennsylvania: This afternoon multiple casualties were reported after police responded to a domestic disturbance call. 5x officers were wounded after a skirmish broke out at a rural property south of Spring Grove, with 3x officers remaining in critical condition as a result of the engagement. The suspect was recovered deceased at the scene. Overnight a vehicle ramming attack was reported at the FBI Field Office in Pittsburgh. Donald Henson was arrested after crashing his vehicle into the gates of the facility before fleeing the scene on foot. After a brief manhunt, the suspect was apprehended this morning. Analyst Comment: Though this was a targeted attack, this could be more of a case of mental illness rather than a more coherent attack. The suspect had painted statements on his vehicle, and had previously been reported for erratic behavior by family members. Arizona: A suspicious package was discovered outside the headquarters of Turning Point USA, which triggered a police response. EOD personnel were dispatched to examine the bag, which was determined to be a false-alarm. Alabama: This morning, one medevac helicopter was struck with effective Surface-to-Air Fire (SAFIRE) in the vicinity of County Road 51 in Autauga County. Local authorities arrested Peter Ellison for shooting a Life Flight helicopter in the process of responding to a medical emergency. Several rounds impacted the helicopter and one flight nurse was wounded during the attack. Washington D.C. - This morning FCC Chairman Brendan Carr made statements indicating an investigation into the ABC corporation's licensing stipulations, after comments were made during Jimmy Kimmel's show last night that falsely state that Tyler Robinson was a political conservative, and conducted the murder of Charlie Kirk as a result of conservative ideology. -----END TEARLINE----- Analyst Comments: One of the follow-on effects of the Kirk assassination is the closer examination of platforms which have allowed open calls for violence over the years, with no repercussions. This is why the CEOs of Twitch, Discord, Reddit, and Steam have been requested to testify before Congress next month regarding the overwhelmingly one-sided policing of content on their platforms. Several influencers and content streamers have openly called for violence against political conservatives for many years now, breaking many of these own companies Terms and Conditions for content production. Nevertheless, the violent rhetoric has been allowed for so long, that it's shifted out of the realm of a free-speech issue, and into the territory of quite literal attack planning efforts. The White House (mostly AG Pam Bondi and President Trump himself) is doing an exceptionally poor job at describing this investigative effort, framing the issue without the nuance required to clearly state what is happening. However, as the violence from the political left has not decreased, but rather increased after Kirk's murder, this is a detail very important for risk assessment at a time where the threats are becoming increasingly more serious.

//The Wire//2300Z September 16, 2025// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: UKRAINIAN ATTACK REPORTED IN VLADIVOSTOK IN POSSIBLE SNEAK-ATTACK. MORE DETAILS RELEASED ON KIRK SHOOTING, MANY QUESTIONS STILL REMAIN.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events- Far East: This morning explosions were reported in Vladivostok, as Ukrainian forces allegedly conducted a strike at far-flung military installations in Russia's eastern region. The exact location of the attack(s) has not yet been confirmed, however Ukrainian sources claim that the target was the 155th Marine Infantry Brigade. Analyst Comment: So far most of the sources on this attack are Ukrainian, so not entirely the most impartial resources for determining what happened. This could have been another behind-the-lines drone attack such as conducted a few months ago, since this attack vector is really one of the handful of methods for targeting this far away from the current conflict zone in Ukraine. -HomeFront- Utah: George Zinn, the man who created a distraction during the Kirk assassination, has been charged with obstruction of justice after admitting that he caused the distraction intentionally. Authorities continuing the investigation have stated that Zinn stated that he intended to draw attention away from the real shooter, to allow the assassin to escape. Washington D.C. - This morning FBI Director Kash Patel testified before Congress on a variety of issues. Analyst Comment: Most of the testimony today was only remarkable for the entertainment value, though Patel did continue to raise suspicions (as has become a nearly-daily occurrence) regarding Jeffrey Epstein, stating that Epstein did not traffic anyone to other individuals. -----END TEARLINE----- Analyst Comments: Almost a week after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the number of inconsistencies and accomplices remains the same as before. If George Zinn did not have prior knowledge of the attack (as insinuated by investigators) the initial knee-jerk reaction to help out an unknown assassin in the seconds after a brutal murder is very odd at best, or psychopathic at worst. Zinn does have a long history of agitation and mental illness, so at this point it's hard to determine if he is just crazy or a legitimate and pre-planned accomplice to the murder. This afternoon, the alleged text messages between Tyler Robinson and his transgender accomplice were released, mostly pertaining to communications between the two apparently after the attack (though no timestamps on these messages were provided). These communications (among other things) indicate that the rifle was covertly stolen from the suspect's grandfather prior to the murder. Otherwise, the tone of the messages as released is somewhat unusual, and may be an indication of a pre-established alibi, knowing that these messages would be evidence at some point. Other terminology seems suspicious, leading to concerns that the messages might be fabricated or altered in some way, a speculative theory that is backed up by the inclusion of ellipses in the provided text which confirms that parts of the conversations have been omitted before release (though to what degree remains unclear). Right now there's no way to confirm the authenticity of these messages either way, and much more information and investigation is needed to determine exactly what took place. However even without digging in to the messages, the general gist of the case so far is that it's overwhelmingly unlikely that Tyler Robinson acted alone. More broadly, the expansion of investigations into other accomplices continues, as many statements from investigators have indicated the list of accomplices is wider than previously thought (by the FBI, at least). Authorities have stated that 20 individuals are currently being investigated for having prior knowledge of the attack. Analyst: S2A1 Re

//The Wire//2300Z September 15, 2025// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: IED ATTACK FAILS IN SALT LAKE CITY, ASSAILANTS ARRESTED. ADDITIONAL SUSPECTS IDENTIFIED IN KIRK ASSASSINATION CASE. WAR DEPARTMENT STRIKES NARCO BOAT OFF VENEZUELA COAST.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events- United Kingdom: Over the weekend the "Unite the Kingdom" protests took place in London and throughout the nation, mostly without much issue. Some scuffles with police were noted, but British authorities provided a map of all of the unrest, which was almost entirely contained within the counter-protester areas. Caribbean: This afternoon the U.S. carried out another kinetic strike of a suspected narco-vessel off the coast of Venezuela. One vessel was struck by the U.S. Navy, resulting in 3x enemy casualties. -HomeFront- Utah: The investigation into the Kirk assassination continues, as the dragnet of potential accomplices widens. The FBI has stated that 7x people associated with the alleged killer have been identified throughout Utah, mostly online associates who had prior knowledge of the attack during the planning phase. These individuals are currently being investigated, and at least one individual was directly told by Robinson that he intended to kill Charlie Kirk. Authorities state that Tyler Robinson is not cooperating with the investigation, has reversed his previous confession, and begun to state his innocence for the attack. More kinetically, yesterday afternoon two assailants attempted to target a news vehicle with an incendiary device in Salt Lake City. Adeeb Nasir and Adil Nassir were arrested after using a homemade explosive device on a parked news vehicle in an undisclosed location somewhere in the city. The device failed to detonate properly, and instead started a fire under the vehicle. Following their arrests, a further search of their home in Magna revealed an IED factory, where other explosive devices were discovered. North Carolina: Decarlos Brown Jr. (the murderer of Iryna Zarutska) has been transferred to a mental institution by Judge Roy Wiggins, so as to determine the defendant's capacity to proceed with a trial. Tennessee: President Trump has formalized the order to activate National Guard soldiers throughout Memphis to combat crime, continuing the similar efforts that have been observed throughout Washington D.C. This line of effort has been named the Memphis Safe Task Force. -----END TEARLINE----- Analyst Comments: There is a difference between someone making crass comments, and attack planning. Turns out, in the Kirk assassination, there is nearly-complete overlap between these two distinctions: The same types of people who celebrated Kirk's death, also ended up taking the next step to endorse legitimate terror attacks. It is this careful distinction that we must consider over the next few weeks as the situation remains hot. Around the United States, many leftist groups are organizing, using the Kirk assassination as a method of unity and shared values. For most armed far-left militia groups, this organization is still mostly in the Public Relations phase, using the assassination to move the goalposts toward normalizing violence against the political right (more than it already is). In Arizona, the memorial to Kirk was vandalized during a vigil. The assailant was wearing the same shirt as Kirk's alleged killer, as has been common over the past few days. If the thousands of people rejoicing in the violence online weren't an indication of what many on the political left are thinking, the merchandise and T-shirts that have been created to celebrate the murder should provide some insight. Similar vandalism efforts have been reported randomly around the nation, mostly confined to areas where far-left militant groups maintain a foothold. Throughout the country the celebrations over the murder have

ANNAPOLIS SHOOTING DISCOVERED TO BE THE RESULT OF HOAX CALL, ONE MIDSHIPMAN WOUNDED IN FRIENDLY-FIRE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -HomeFront- Utah: This morning federal authorities confirmed that one individual was in custody who is assessed to have been Charlie Kirk's assassin. Tyler Robinson was physically detained at his home by his father, who turned him in after recognizing him as the shooter. This afternoon, during a press conference, Utah Governor Spencer Cox conveyed additional information that was compiled by the FBI on the shooting. He stated that text messages were recovered between the alleged shooter, and his roommate. During an interview with the FBI, the alleged killer's roommate volunteered to show investigators Discord messages between himself and the shooter. These messages involved the shooter stating that he needed to recover the rifle from a drop point located in a bush, wrapped in a towel. Additional messages were noted referencing engraving bullets. Analyst Comment: Information manipulation is already well out of control regarding this individual. For example, earlier today a Twitter/X account posted a photoshopped version of a photo of the suspected killer, which depicted Robinson wearing a Trump t-shirt, with the caption "Tired of these terrorists". The same exact account owned up to their fake information, but as this account has over 5 million followers, the damage had already been done. Robinson has zero ties to any sort of conservative politician or party, all of his associations are via politically left organizations. Nevertheless this is a common tactic used by many organizations; posting two messages/photos at nearly the same time, one of which is fake and the other either an apology or a correction. The fake content gets boosted in the algorithm and amplified everywhere, but the quiet correction never makes the rounds. This is a very tired tactic to evade both being banned on social media, along with criminal prosecution. In the age of AI, there are probably tens of millions of people who are seeing these fake images (not just from this one account, but many others as well), and due to everyone being in their own ideological bubble, there are significant efforts underway to make people think the shooter was a "far-right terrorist", instead of the overwhelming evidence that suggests otherwise. -----END TEARLINE----- Analyst Comments: Yesterday's reported shooting at the US Naval Academy turned out to be another hoax like the other reported shootings, but the response to the hoax involved the friendly-fire shooting of one student. Authorities state that a former student at the Academy made threats of violence online, though he was able to spoof his IP address (or conduct some similar effort) to make it appear as though he was still at the Academy. A campus-wide alert was sent out regarding the threats, and initial reports circulated among students that the shooter was attempting to pose as a police officer to gain access to more victims. In reality, the individual that was spotted was a genuine police officer, one of the first to arrive on scene, working to clear the facility of threats. This resulted in a case of mistaken identity that resulted in the real shooting taking place. When the officer was attempting to gain entry to one building, a Midshipman attempted to beat the officer to death with a non-functioning parade rifle, thinking that he was the shooter. This Midshipman was shot in the arm by the officer, with the officer thinking that *he* was the shooter. After the Midshipman was shot, the situation of mistaken identity became clear, and the Midshipman was airlifted to a local area hospital, where he his expected to survive.

MULTIPLE HOAX SWATTING INCIDENTS REPORTED AT UNIVERSITIES AROUND THE NATION. CUBAN ILLEGAL ARRESTED AFTER BRUTAL MURDER AT DALLAS HOTEL. SHOOTING REPORTED AT US NAVAL ACADEMY IN ANNAPOLIS.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -HomeFront- Utah: The situation regarding the assassination of Charlie Kirk continues to develop, with many new details coming to light overnight. At the moment, multiple individuals seem to be involved in this case in one way or another: One actual shooter, and many more persons that caused confusion during the initial reaction to the shooting. The individual identified as George Zinn was initially arrested after he verbally confessed to the crime, stating that he was the shooter. He screamed "I did it" and "shoot me" immediately as the shot was heard. This could have been a case of mental illness (as Zinn has a criminal history that reflects such and he was known to authorities for this kind of thing) or this could also have been an intentional act of diversion to allow the real shooter time to escape. Whatever the intent was, this did function as a diversionary tactic, and the shooter was able to egress from the area. Nevertheless, local reports state that Zinn was released from custody. Another unidentified individual was initially arrested at the scene as well, in possession of a pellet rifle. No further information regarding this individual's status at this time. Idaho: A fight broke out at a candlelight vigil at the Idaho Capitol (which was arranged to memorialize Charlie Kirk) when leftist activists began to interrupt proceedings. Several leftist demonstrators were removed after they attempted to gain entry to the crowd and scream obscenities during the vigil. Colorado: Yesterday afternoon a school shooting was reported at Evergreen High School near Denver. Local authorities state that Desmond Holly, a 16-year-old student at the school, shot two students before taking his own life. Texas: Yesterday afternoon a woman was beheaded at a motel in Dallas. Local authorities state that Yordanis Cobo-Martinez, an illegal migrant from Cuba, murdered his employer (Chandra Nagamallaiah) with a machete after a brief argument at the Downtown Suites Hotel. Cobo-Martinez was arrested at the scene. Maryland: This afternoon, an active shooter was reported at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis. This is a developing situation at this time, but initial reports indicate that a former Midshipmen returned to the institution to conduct the attack. Early reports indicate as many as 1-3 casualties, however the scene is still locked down at this time. More details to follow as information becomes available. USA: This afternoon the recent wave of swatting calls flared up again, with several calls being made around Boston this afternoon. An active shooter situation was reported at the University of Massachusetts (UMass), which turned out to be a hoax. Several other locations around Boston were also host to swatting incidents, which also were hoaxes. This morning a bomb threat was called in to the DNC headquarters in Washington, which was also confirmed to be a hoax. Throughout the afternoon the University of Central Florida also reported a similar hoax being called in at their campus. -----END TEARLINE----- Analyst Comments: When it comes to risk assessment and mitigation, making decisions based on details that are speculative is acceptable if time is of the essence, such as when a high-profile assassin is still on the loose. However, it would be wise to focus on the details that help with that assessment, rather than getting dragged down rabbit holes that eat up time that we don't have. Panicking helps no one, and though it is a challenging skill to develop when the general mood is that of extreme anger, rem

VIOLENT MURDER SUSPECT REMAINS FUGITIVE IN NEW YORK. // -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events- Poland: Yesterday evening multiple Russian drones were observed flying out of the warzone in Ukraine and into Polish airspace. Polish military authorities issued various airspace closures and scrambled aircraft to intercept these drones. U.S. Air Force aircraft were also observed responding to the crisis, having scrambled at least one F-35 to attempt to find the drones. As the crisis developed Poland issued a large-scale shelter-in-place order, encompassing much of the eastern regions of the country, home to roughly 9 million people. No one was killed, and none of the drones appear to have been targeting anything in Poland as roughly a dozen drones were discovered crashed in farmers fields in eastern districts of the country. Analyst Comment: So far, the number of drones that entered Polish airspace has varied. Most reports seem to settle on a figure of around a dozen drones of varying type, but the true number has not been confirmed. Poland did confirm that several drones were shot down inside their airspace, though the exact number was not provided. -HomeFront- Utah: This afternoon Charlie Kirk was assassinated at a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University in Orem. Analyst Comment: This is a developing situation at the time of this report, and the situation remains very dynamic and multiple malign actors may be involved. After the shot, an elderly man (who was identified as George Zinn) was tackled in the crowd by those who thought he was the shooter. After some time, it became clear that Zinn was not the shooter but actually an agitator of some sort. While this is speculative, this individual behaved as though he may have been a spotter and/or an intentional distraction from the actual shooter, who may have taken the shot from an elevated position some distance away from the event. Some video evidence from the scene does indicate that an individual was spotted lying prone in a tactical position on the roof of an adjacent building. This afternoon, the FBI stated that they had one suspect in custody, other than the individual identified as George Zinn. More details to follow as information becomes available. North Carolina: Societal tensions remain extremely high following the release of the full murder tape of Iryna Zarutska. President Trump has called for the death penalty to be applied in this case, and the extremely shocking and disturbing nature of the murder is causing larger questions to be asked. Analyst Comment: In short, this horrific murder (and now along with that of Charlie Kirk) has moved the goalposts toward an acknowledgement of reality more than anything in recent memory. The defense is also trying to tee up an insanity defense, releasing statements that suggest the killer might have been mentally ill. However, the audio from the murder tape confirms that the murderer had planned and pre-established a story for the murder, stating that the victim had provoked him in some way (which the tape also confirms she did not do). Considering that the murderer will be tried by a jury of his peers probably *in Charlotte*, this is an important distinction to remember. Washington D.C. - Yesterday the Bureau of Labor Statistics posted the annual revisions to the jobs report, which revised the total number of jobs created last year. Out of the roughly 1.7 million jobs allegedly created last year, a little over 911,000 jobs were revised downwards, which is the largest recorded revision on record. Analyst Comment: This jobs report means that 51% of all of the jobs reported last year...never existed. The books were cooked to doub

//The Wire//1500Z September 9, 2025// //PRIORITY// //BLUF: ISRAELI FORCES BOMB QATAR TO KILL HAMAS LEADERSHIP WHICH ARRIVED FOR PEACE TALKS. NEPALI GOVERNMENT OVERTHROWN AS PM RESIGNS AND PARLIAMENT BURNS. BLACKOUTS REPORTED IN BERLIN DUE TO TERRORIST ATTACKS ON ELECTRICAL GRID.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events- Germany: This morning power outages were reported throughout Berlin, as multiple insurgent groups conduct coordinated attacks on electrical infrastructure around the city. Local authorities state that two separate transmission towers were set on fire by malign actors, and several cable cutting attacks may have also been undertaken (though that is uncertain at this time). Analyst Comment: Right now no definitive confirmation on who conducted these attacks, but historically these types of attacks are conducted by ecoterrorists, which have conducted arson attacks (and cable-cuttings) on electrical infrastructure around Europe for some time now. Middle East: This morning Israeli forces conducted strikes in Doha, widening the war to now include engaging in hostilities in Qatar. Israeli officials have confirmed that they carried out a strike on Khalil al-Hayya, the Hamas leader in charge of the delegation sent to conduct peace talks in Doha. The American Embassy has issued a shelter-in-place order for American citizens throughout the country. Analyst Comment: This is a big deal. It's one thing to bomb Gaza, Lebanon, or Syria, but it's a major escalation to bomb a nation with serious power throughout the region. Bombing the country that is currently mediating the war they are fighting also effectively eliminates any chance of peace. Nepal: Overnight the Nepalese government was overthrown in chaos after widespread demonstrations broke out regarding corruption issues in government. In the span of just a few hours, these demonstrations expanded to include demonstrators breaching the Parliamentary compound, which resulted in security forces opening fire on the crowds, killing 19x people. A few minutes after these shootings, more demonstrators stormed the Parliament building and set it on fire. Most of the residences of high ranking government officials were also breached and burned. Several high-level Ministers were severely beaten, including the Finance Minister, who was observed being dragged through the streets. One of Nepal's former PM's was also beaten severely, but for now is still alive. Current Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli has resigned and was able to escape Kathmandu via helicopter. Most of the government has resigned, and many cabinet ministers remain unaccounted for. Flights out of Kathmandu Airport have been halted due to the unrest, so flights out of the country will be unavailable for some time. -----END TEARLINE----- Analyst Comments: The events in Nepal bear the hallmarks of non-organic regime change, though for what purpose (and by whom) remains unclear at the moment. These demonstrations did not spring up out of nowhere, they were organized by Hami Nepal, an NGO that is so new that their own website is not yet finished. This organization appears to mostly be active in earthquake disaster relief, so organizing a political protest is not within their missionset as described on their website.

//The Wire//2100Z September 8, 2025// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: FRENCH PM RESIGNS AMID NO-CONFIDENCE VOTE. JAPANESE PM RESIGNS AMID PARTY LOSSES. SOCIAL TENSIONS CONTINUE TO RISE IN UNITED KINGDOM. CHARLOTTE, NC CORRUPTION HIGHLIGHTED BY BRUTAL MURDER CASE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events- United Kingdom: Social tensions continue as before, which have been made worse by recent scandals. Several people have been arrested for posting content on social media that "caused someone anxiety", which although a common form of arrest in the United Kingdom, has still stoked the flames of social dissent as the migrant crisis has worsened. As of this morning, additional claims are circulating regarding whistleblower testimony suggesting that illegal migrants have been given priority for medical treatment throughout the NHS, which routinely results in British nationals being delayed care as migrants are moved up in the queue ahead of them. These claims draw back to the earlier revelation years ago that NHS practitioners were being dispatched to give private medical appointments to migrants stationed at migrant center hotels. Analyst Comment: As with most information from Britain these days, the veracity of most of the above information is hard to verify simply due to the lockdown on speech. Nevertheless, it doesn't really seem to matter that much now; the situation is spiraling into a state of uncertainty regardless of the minute details. This morning, a Banksy work was discovered painted on the side of Royal Courts of Justice, which featured the image of a judge attacking a protester. This thinly-veiled statement on the issues with the court's censorship efforts was made worse by the court immediately covering up the image upon it's discovery and setting up guards over it to prevent people from seeing it. In the United Kingdom nobody messes with a Banksy work and escapes unscathed, especially one so on-the-nose as this. As such, the dousing of gasoline on the societal bonfire continues, with very little chance of the situation de-escalating anytime soon. France: This morning the French government collapsed following a vote of no-confidence in Parliament. Prime Minister Francois Bayrou has resigned after losing the vote, with much speculation abounding regarding who Macron will choose to replace him. Analyst Comment: Some media sources speculate that since Macron has appointed right-leaning (by French standards) Prime Ministers twice now, there is growing pressure to appoint Olivier Faure, the current leader of the Socialist Party. Red Sea/HOA: Sunday afternoon internet disruptions were observed as multiple undersea communications cables were cut in the southern Red Sea. The IMEWE cable (which mostly serves India) and the SMW4 cable (which serves India and southwest Asia) were cut, along with the FALCON GCX which serves internet traffic to Kuwait. Analyst Comment: No word yet on what caused this cable cutting. Anchor dragging incidents are common in the area, along with more direct cable-cutting efforts that are intended to be perceived as "accidents". In either case, repairs will take some time, so it may be a while before any solid evidence on the cause of the damage comes to light. Far East: Japan's Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba resigned yesterday afternoon, following his closing of the trade deals with the United States. Analyst Comment: This was an expected resignation, but financial markets briefly reacted negatively anyway. Ishiba has been facing growing dissent (even from within his own party) regarding his handling of the migrant crisis that has now spread to Japan. -HomeFront- Alabama: Saturday morning one assailant was arrested for murdering a woman in a public park in Auburn. Local authorities arrested Harold Rashad Dabney III for the murder, after being apprehended driving the victim's vehi

BRITISH CABINET SHUFFLES PERSONNEL FOLLOWING RESIGNATION OF DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER DUE TO TAX EVASION SCANDAL. USA/INDIA RELATIONS DETERIORATE AFTER CHINESE DEFENSE SUMMIT.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events- Germany: Concern is growing regarding the sudden deaths of several politicians/candidates from the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party. Local party officials have reported that 7x candidates have died unexpectedly, two weeks before the next round of elections on September 14th. Analyst Comment: German authorities have stated that two of the deaths were from natural causes, however the others have not been explained. Independent verification is not possible at this time as government and party officials are withholding the names of the deceased for reasons of family privacy. United Kingdom: Several high-level positional changes have taken place throughout the British government following the departure of Deputy PM Angela Rayner. This morning Yvette Cooper announced her resignation from the Home Office, with Shabana Mahmood taking her place as Home Secretary. Cooper will become the Foreign Secretary, and David Lammy (the former Foreign Secretary) is to become Deputy Prime Minister. Analyst Comment: This reshuffling is largely due to several scandals that have plagued Starmer's government for several months. From the migrant crisis to internal corruption scandals, the last straw was the discovery that Angela Rayner had not paid property taxes on one of her residences, which totaled roughly £40,000 worth of tax evasion. This rapidly snowballed into a big scandal, especially since she has previously called out the tax-loopholes utilized by other politicians in the past. Caribbean: Yesterday, 2x Venezuelan F-16's conducted an overflight of the US Navy Task Force currently conducting operations in the southern Caribbean Sea. In response to this action, this morning the Pentagon announced the deployment of 10x F-35 fighter aircraft to Fort Buchanan in Puerto Rico. This forward deployment will be conducted to allegedly engage in kinetic targeting of narcotics trafficking platforms, and also to provide more air-to-air targeting capabilities in the region. Analyst Comment: As expected, the situation has escalated. The deployment of F-35s usually points to one possibility...an expansion of the conflict. More specifically, F-35's would not be needed to target simple narco-vessels but would be a satisfactory platform for engaging more substantial threats, such as the F-16's the US sold to the Venezuelan military back in the 1980's. -HomeFront- Washington D.C. - Relations between the US and India have deteriorated somewhat over the past few days, following the trade negotiations that have been ongoing for some time. Earlier this week, China hosted the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit, which coincided with a visit by President Vladimir Putin, and Prime Minister Modi. This summit resulted in India re-affirming their desire to strengthen ties with their fellow BRICS partners, instead of growing ties with the United States. This in turn has lead to a worsening of relations with the United States, and the White House taking a more hardball approach to trade negotiations with India. After the display of friendship between India and China, President Trump has floated the idea of blocking American tech companies from outsourcing work to India. -----END TEARLINE----- Analyst Comments: There is another angle to the deteriorating US/India relations that is worthy of note. Brief scandal erupted on social media yesterday as multiple influential accounts were discovered to be posting suspiciously pro-India content, in response to the White House making statements that

//The Wire//2300Z September 4, 2025// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: SECOND MAJOR EARTHQUAKE STRIKES AFGHANISTAN. DUNDEE HATCHET GIRL VINDICATED AS BULGARIAN COUPLE ARRESTED FOR ASSAULT.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events- Afghanistan: This afternoon the USGS reported the detection of a 5.6M earthquake in the vicinity of Asadabad (a city in the eastern regions recently struck by the earlier earthquakes). Analyst Comment. This marks the third significant earthquake to strike the nation in a week. The recovery from the first major earthquake has continued as the fatality count tops 2,200x (and thousands more missing) over the past few days. No word yet on casualties caused by this most recent earthquake. United Kingdom: The two individuals who were at the center of the recent Dundee "hatchet girl" scandal have been arrested. Two weeks ago, a 14-year-old Scottish girl was arrested on weapons charges following a viral video circulating, which showed the girl brandishing a knife and a hatchet to ward off a migrant who was following her. After two weeks, the migrant (who was threatening and harassing the girls) and another unidentified woman were arrested. -HomeFront- Washington D.C. - Several developments have taken place regarding the Epstein Scandal over the past few days. Roughly 33,000 documents were released by the House Oversight Committee yesterday on a Google Drive account. Most of the files appear to once again be files that were already released, or present significant challenges to comb through. Analyst Comment: More time will be needed to determine exactly what was released in the latest round of Epstein documents. The choice to host these files on a regular consumer-grade Google Drive account instead of a legitimate governmental website is also an interesting decision, since Google Drive (and the backup provided, Dropbox) is not the best platform for sharing tens of thousands of files with millions of people. In short, for anyone interested in the files, what was hosted on Google Drive takes many hours to zip and download, whereas if it were hosted on a government website it would be easily downloadable in just a few minutes. More broadly, this is really just a continuation of the current trend; various agencies and branches of government will continue to re-release the same files over and over again, in hopes that the American people will get exasperated and forget the whole thing. Or perhaps even more to-the-point, to encourage everyone to "not see the forest, for the trees". Enough documentation has *already been* released, and enough rhetoric from the highest office in the land has already been uttered, for the average American to make a decision as to what happened in this case, and what it means for the future of the nation. -----END TEARLINE----- Analyst Comments: The Dundee case is a good reminder of how the benefit of the doubt often applies only one way. The knee jerk reaction of the police was to believe the Bulgarian man, who was very likely trying to traffic the children...and not the victim's testimony. When it comes to Scottish authorities, a tie goes to the unidentified migrant, so to speak. This will be a point worthy of consideration moving forward and these types of events continue. As a reminder, the effort by all mainstream media sources to paint this girl as the aggressor was significant. Considering how serious the situation is, it is very likely that the girls' initial description of events paints a very dark picture, which is probably what led to the arrests of the adults in this case. Despite the initial details of this case largely being speculative, the wider context of these details is worthy of note for reasons that many people may not be aware of. The girls initially said that the Bulgarian man tried to solicit one of the three girls in the initial group. A

//The Wire//2300Z September 3, 2025// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: WHITE HOUSE SHARES DETAILS OF NARCO-VESSEL STRIKE AS TENSIONS REMAIN HIGH THROUGHOUT THE REGION.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events- Caribbean Sea: The Pentagon released amplifying details regarding yesterdays sinking of a suspected narco-vessel in the waters off the coast of Venezuela. 11x people were on board the vessel, which was struck with a missile. The Pentagon has stated that the individuals onboard were positively identified as narcotics traffickers. -HomeFront- Mississippi: Details have come to light regarding an incident that took place over the weekend in the town of Oxford. The Oxford Police Department criminally charged the owner of Booth's Barbecue for holding an event at their legally-operated business within the town. The restaurant held a weekend event that resulted in parking issues around the town, and resulted in general congestion due to the large crowds. During the events of the day, one individual produced a firearm and began shooting at another individual, in what is suspected as being a gang dispute. Following this shooting, the owners of the restaurant were cited for "inadequate security" and failing to have a "safety plan", in addition to other charges. -----END TEARLINE----- Analyst Comments: As a reminder, the verbiage being used to refer to those killed in the strike off the coast of Venezuela reflects the previous efforts to classify Tren de Aragua as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, so all of these individuals are referred to as "terrorists" and not drug traffickers. Contrary to popular belief, this classification does not often result in vibes or essays but rather the application of Rules of Engagement in accordance with the UCMJ and the guidance set forth by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) in Joint Publication 3-60. As far as the paperwork goes, Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro himself is listed as the leader of this "terrorist organization", which is largely contradictory as TdA has opposed Maduro in the past, with most of the gang being rounded up and thrown in Venezuelan prisons. The details of the strike itself are also interesting as it's not very common to see eleven people onboard a vessel that is primarily conducting drug trafficking operations. Nevertheless, the strike itself is mostly tactically irrelevant but serves two very important functions: To send a very strong message to Maduro, and also to gauge public sentiment within the United States to determine if the American people will accept future operations. Here at home, there is always the possibility that this escalation will result in threats within the homeland; the thousands of different gangs, criminal syndicates, and those sympathetic to cartel operations are probably not too pleased with the recent developments in South America. On the other hand, it must be noted that Central American gangs and criminal enterprises have very different motivations than what many may be familiar with from the past 40 years of fighting counterinsurgencies in the Middle East...most nefarious groups in Central and South America are financially-motivated, not ideologically-motivated. It is possible that knee-jerk protests/demonstrations will be the result from protesters, but most of this will not really be relevant when it comes to risk. The real concerns to watch out for are how cartel traffickers respond to this development: some cells/groups may go further underground and lay low for a while, but others may become emboldened and attempt to stand and fight. If larger and more influential cartels/groups decide that fighting back in a more kinetic manner is the option that is in their best interest, the situation may become very kinetic rather quickly.

KINETIC STRIKE REPORTED IN CARIBBEAN SEA AS US NAVY SINKS SUSPECTED NARCO VESSEL.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events- Australia: The overall situation remains tense following the continuation of various immigration related issues around the continent. This morning a Bangladeshi man was charged with various offenses for his role in causing a traffic accident which killed two people in New South Wales over the weekend. Analyst Comment: Over the past few weeks, similar atmospherics to what have sprung up in England have also taken root in some places around Australia, with many demonstrations and protests popping up over the past few days. It's tough to say how impactful these demonstrations are, but these types of events do highlight that dissent is growing. France: A high profile shooting took place in Marseilles this morning, following a knife attack that originated from a dispute at a hotel. Local authorities state that a migrant from Tunisia was living at a hotel in the downtown area, but was confronted by hotel staff after failing to pay his bill. This resulted in the man becoming belligerent, producing a knife, and stabbing 4x people at the hotel (including the manager and other staff members). Plain-clothes police from the Anti-Crime Brigade (BAC) responded quickly to the scene, making contact with the man on the street a short distance from the hotel. The man made jihadi comments before attacking the police, which resulted in him being shot and killed. No word yet on the condition of the hotel staff wounded during the attack. Analyst Comment: The assailant was identified as 35-year-old "Abdelkader D", and allegedly had an extensive criminal record. Due to this record, the assailant was already known to police, but nevertheless was given a residency permit valid until 2032. Caribbean: This afternoon the White House announced the kinetic targeting of a vessel suspected of trafficking narcotics. The vessel was engaged and possibly sunk after departing from Venezuela, with no survivors being reported following the strike. Analyst Comment: Beyond the initial announcement, almost zero additional details have been provided. Nevertheless, this targeting is an escalation of the conflict and serves to indicate that kinetic targeting efforts have been authorized. Normally, the standard interdiction tactics have involved the disabling of suspected narco-vessels, which often relies upon using "lethal" weapons to shoot a vessel's engine to render it inoperable. In this case, the White House has so far referred to this incident as a "lethal strike", though without commenting on the type of weapon system used for this engagement. In any case, this targeting effort suggests that the policy has now changed to more of a "shoot first, ask questions later" policy. -HomeFront- Illinois: Tensions continue as the federal involvement in Chicago looms. Over the past few days, the White House has continued to express plans to deploy National Guard forces around the city to combat crime. At one of yesterday's protest events, Mayor Brandon Johnson has called on city residents to "defend" the city when troops arrive. -----END TEARLINE----- Analyst Comments: Most of the rhetoric from Chicago officials is purely posturing. However as the federal deployment of troops comes to fruition, the potential for bad things to happen very quickly always remains a risk. No one can argue that Chicago is a safe city, and even the most anti-Trump demonstrators have to admit that the extreme levels of crime have only gotten worse over the years. On the other hand, there's no guarantee that the city's problems will be solved with the National Guard. And since local politicians and powe

PROTESTS CONTINUE IN CHICAGO DURING LABOR DAY CRIME WAVE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events- Germany: A 16-year-old Ukrainian refugee was murdered over the weekend, after an illegal immigrant from Iraq pushed her in front of a train in Friedland. The migrant was not arrested at the scene, but after DNA evidence was gathered authorities arrested and placed him in a psychiatric facility where he awaits a decision on whether or not he will be charged for the murder. Analyst Comment: This case is important as the local media immediately tried to paint this story as the girl taking her own life. However, local authorities have confirmed that this is not the case. At the moment it's hard to independently confirm, but some sources claim that the victim was also speaking on the phone with her grandfather at the time of the attack, and remarked that a group of migrants were following her before the call was cut short. If this detail is true, this could be what triggered the investigation in the first place as there are no security cameras at the train station where she was murdered. Afghanistan: This morning an earthquake with an estimated magnitude of 6.0 struck near the border with Pakistan. Hundreds of casualties have been reported, with the hardest-hit regions being the eastern districts of Kunar and Nangarhar. Venezuela: Over the weekend, large-scale blackouts were reported throughout Caracas and several outlying cities. Separately, the tensions between the United States and Venezuela continue, as both sides remain at a heightened state of military readiness throughout the region. Analyst Comment: As the US Navy continues power-projection operations in the area, many have been quick to link the blackouts in Venezuela with the American ships parked off the coast. However, this incident is probably more related to Venezuela's crippled electrical infrastructure, rather than any intervention by the United States. The United States is certainly not above sabotage in Venezuela, so it's certainly possible. However Venezuela has been "rationing" electricity for many years now, which has included the implementation of unplanned (and unannounced) rolling blackouts. This history indicates that if the U.S. were to bomb or sabotage electrical substations in Venezuela, it's doubtful that anyone would notice anything out of the ordinary. Australia: Yesterday a vehicle ramming attack was carried out at the Russian Consulate in Sydney. One unidentified man drove his vehicle up to the Entry Control Point (ECP) for the facility, and after being approached by security personnel, proceeded to ram his vehicle into the gates. The man was arrested at the scene, and one security guard was injured by broken glass while attempting to extract the man from the vehicle. No further details have been provided regarding the motivation for the attack. -HomeFront- Illinois: Throughout Chicago, several anti-Trump demonstrations were held over the weekend, which mostly took the form of opposing the recent anti-crime initiatives posed by the White House. Separately, a few dozen shootings were reported throughout the city over the weekend, which has included approximately 8x murders. Texas: An 11-year-old was shot in Houston after taking part in a growing trend around the United States. The child was shot after allegedly engaging in a game of "ding dong ditch" which prompted the homeowner to engage the suspects, killing one of them. -----END TEARLINE----- Analyst Comments: As with every event these days, many media sources leave out critical context. For instance, the recent rise of "ding dong ditch" "pranks" around the United States, aren't

MINNEAPOLIS SHOOTING RESULTS IN INCREASED THREAT RISK AS MANY PEOPLE DECLARE SUPPORT FOR THE KILLER.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events- Middle East: Indications and warnings are growing regarding what may be a general increase in hostilities throughout the region. Yesterday, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom voted to begin the process of re-imposing the United Nations sanctions on Iran (the same sanctions that were lifted in 2015). In Gaza, the conflict continues as before, with the statements by the White House over the past few weeks giving the green light for another expansion of Israeli operations in Gaza City. This morning, the White House revoked the diplomatic travel visas of Palestinian Authority diplomats, so that they cannot travel to testify before the United Nations General Assembly. Analyst Comment: This could be nothing, or this could be the start of something. Overnight, Turkey inexplicably closed their airspace to all Israeli aircraft and has allegedly cut all economic ties with Israel. Separately, Germany issued warnings to all of their citizens in Iran to leave the country, mostly out of fear of retaliatory attacks. So far, these are very early indications of trouble, but the history of the region is proof that very little is needed for a war to kick off again. South America: US Naval operations continue off the coast of Venezuela, as Venezuelan forces increase territorial defense operations. Several low-level military exercises have been undertaken in Venezuela, and coastal gunboat patrols have increased over the past few days. Analyst Comment: So far, this is all just posturing from both parties. Venezuela has no real defense against American forces, so any real resistance to this "naval diplomacy" effort from the United States will carefully avoid any direct confrontation. -HomeFront- Florida: This morning a mass casualty event was reported on I-95 near Ives Dairy Road in Miami. 29x people were hospitalized due to injuries sustained when a semi truck failed to observe traffic congestion, rear-ending a long line of halted vehicles. The driver has not been identified, but is expected to face charges. -----END TEARLINE----- Analyst Comments: So far, the fallout from the Minneapolis Church Shooting has left more questions than answers. From a tactical standpoint, the shooter very clearly stated that he selected this Church as a target due to the staff being unarmed and thus unlikely to fight back. The killer also had drawn very crude sector sketches of the Church interior, mapping out the entry and exit points in the Nave. The killer also made statements of specifically avoiding behavioral actions that might tip off authorities that he was planning this attack, indicating that this had been in the works for some time. Similarly, online rhetoric has been exceptionally severe following this attack, with hundreds (if not thousands) of accounts online supporting the killer. There is even one company selling T-shirts with the killers face, declaring support for his actions. One Massachusetts man posted a video online encouraging further attacks on Christian institutions, and many others have also declared the intent to carry out other attacks (though without providing specific and actionable details). In short, the online atmosphere among the usual suspect platforms (Reddit, Discord, etc), has indicated that the threat of copycat attacks is higher than usual. It's hard to say how serious most of these threats are, however the sheer number of people who have expressed support for this attack should not be ignored and should be taken seriously out of an abundance of caution.

WHITE HOUSE ALLEGEDLY WITHDRAWS PLAN TO IMPORT 600,000 CHINESE STUDENTS AFTER MAJOR PENTAGON CYBER VULNERABILITY EXPOSED.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events- Europe: Overnight the war escalated with large-scale missile/drone attacks being conducted by Ukraine and Russia. Missile strikes were reported in Kiev, at least one of which struck the building currently being used by British advisors. In Russia, Ukrainian forces launched a major attack as well, targeting oil refineries hundreds of miles behind the lines. Analyst Comment: As usual, who started what is hard to determine. Some say that the strikes at the British council office were actually the debris of Ukrainian missile defenses, whereas others say it was a deliberate strike. Likewise, what was struck in Russia is not entirely confirmable, though Ukraine has increasingly started to target legitimate and militarily-valuable oil refineries over the past few months. Either way, this latest spat likely won't completely derail diplomatic efforts, but it will probably pump the breaks on peace talks for a few days. -HomeFront- Washington D.C. - The White House has allegedly reversed the decision to admit 600,000 Chinese students, backtracking on the policy to state that the total number of Chinese visas issued per year will remain as before, at around 300,000. -----END TEARLINE----- Analyst Comments: The reversal of the 600,000 Chinese students policy is a positive move for national security, but this will probably come back again at some point. Continuing political tradition, the White House cannot admit that their policy decision was wrong, so they have to phrase this as simply a misunderstanding. This probably came after defense officials got involved as the national security concerns are very openly observable on this issue. On the same exact day as this announcement, SECDEF Pete Hegseth released a video explaining a recent discovery at the Department of Defense. Pentagon systems were accessed by unauthorized contractors (who just so happened to be Chinese nationals employed by Microsoft) to service Department of Defense servers, and that Pentagon data was being stored on data servers in China. This short video, though causing more questions than answers, is the tip of the iceberg regarding what is very likely to be a very big problem. A two-minute video of the SECDEF explaining that the entire existence of the Pentagon was probably breached by Chinese spies embedded at the Microsoft corporation (and that the practice has been going on for years), is not a good sign. It has long been suspected by anyone remotely connected with defense industry that any byte of data more complicated than a pocket calculator has probably been breached by the Chinese military. This has been the quiet assumption for many years, and the SECDEF's recent statement confirms that this idea is certainly more true than anyone would like to think. Considering these developments (and the overwhelming backlash) the White House will probably seek to quiet down the import of Chinese students for a while. However, this will be something to keep an eye on just in case politicians try to slip this by the American people once again.
