Chinese smartphone maker Huawei planned to circumvent Trump admin ban and sell in U.S. covertly
Bill Gertz at the Washington Free Beacon reports that the plan is to disguise the phones as non-Huawei devices, but it was discovered last month by U.S. intelligence agencies who have since alerted the Trump administration to the plan:
According to the officials, the Shenzhen, China-based company planned to ship a large number of its smartphones to Mexico where the smartphones would be re-labeled and shipped into the United States.
As non-Huawei devices, there would be no prohibition on selling them in the United States.
The phones, however, could be identified as Huawei devices by examining their electronic components that can be traced to the Chinese telecom.
No other details of the plan are known, but it’s clear that the Chinese are working to subvert the Trump administration’s ban on selling Huawei phones in the U.S. by any means possible, which indicates that concerns about Beijing using the company’s products as espionage tools is legitimate.
The national security concerns regarding Huawei aren’t new, by the way. As Gertz noted, in 2008 the company was forced to abandon efforts to buy the U.S. telecom company 3Com for that reason. And two years later, Huawei was pressured into abandoning...

MSNBC, CNN Ignore 2020 Democrats Falsely Claiming Michael Brown Was Murdered
Brown, a black 18-year-old, was shot to death in Ferguson, Missouri, by Officer Darren Wilson on Aug. 9, 2014. Wilson claimed it was in self-defense, but protests and some eyewitness claims that Brown had his hands up when he was shot. This led to the mantra, "Hands Up, Don't Shoot." This was later revealed to be false, due to physical evidence and supporting testimony backing Wilson's version of events that Brown attacked him.
However, on the five-year anniversary of Brown's death, the 2020 Democratic hopefuls used the occasion to say Wilson murdered Brown, despite Wilson not being indicted for a crime and the Obama administration's Justice Department concluding after an extensive investigation that Wilson didn't break any federal law.
"Five years ago Michael Brown was murdered by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri," Warren tweeted on Friday. "Michael was unarmed yet he was shot 6 times. I stand with activists and organizers who continue the fight for justice for Michael. We must confront systemic racism and police violence head on."
Wrote Harris: "Michael Brown’s murder forever changed Ferguson and America. His tragic death sparked a desperately needed conversation and a nationwide movement. We must fight for stronger accountability and racial equity in our justice system."

Sharpton traveled to Ferguson in the aftermath of Brown's death, spoke at his funeral, led protests calling for police reform, and claimed there was no evidence Brown posed a threat to Wilson's life. In a heated interview with then-Fox News host Megyn Kelly in 2016, Sharpton defended his rhetoric about the case and said witnesses had told him different things than what federal investigators concluded.
National media outlets also largely ignored the story. A search showed the last story from the New York Times about Brown came on Friday with a piece about his father calling for a...

Thiel: ‘Globalist’ Google Is In Bed With Chinese Military; Must Be Investigated By FBI and CIA
‘Post-nationalists’ are aiding Communist government over America
Billionaire Tech investor Peter Thiel has warned that Google is aiding the Chinese military, and that the company needs to be investigated by the FBI and the CIA because it is manned by “globalists” who do not understand the threat to the US that China poses.
Thiel described Google’s political culture as “globalist, “post-national,” and “cosmopolitan,” adding that the company is “incredibly insular” and “incurious” about real “problems” outside of its own silicon valley bubble.
Thiel called for US intelligence agencies to get involved as Google is indirectly providing the Chinese government with cutting edge AI technology.
“The question about Chinese interest in [Google’s artificial intelligence development] is one that needs to be looked at much more carefully. That’s why I’ve argued that the FBI or the CIA should be looking at this.” Thiel noted in an interview with Fox News.
Watch the full interview here
“I think it is unprecedented in the last 1000 years or ever that major U.S. company refused to work with the U.S. military and has worked with our geopolitical rivals. This is not a liberal-conservative thing. This is absolutely unprecedented.” the entrepreneur continued, referring to the fact that Google refused to bid on the Department of Defense’s $10 billion JEDI contract last year, on the grounds that working with the U.S. military could violate its “AI principles.”
“Google has a major AI research lab in China, where, even though it’s not working directly with the Chines military, in effect, all the technology gets handed on to the Chinese military.” Thiel warned, comparing the technology to the “Manhattan Project”.
“This is in black-and-white in the constitution of the Chinese Communist Party, as of 2017, it got amended to stress that there needs to be civil-military fusion in...
Overstock CEO Turned Over Docs To DOJ ‘on FBI’s Russian and Hillary Clinton Probes’
Byrne claims the documents, which have not been made public and are currently under investigation by the DOJ, are allegedly communications he had with the FBI concerning both the Clinton investigation and the origins of the Russian investigation. SaraACarter.com did not review the documents, which are now under review by law enforcement.
He approached the DOJ and met with lawyers on April 5th and 30th. The first meeting was without counsel in Washington D.C. A source directly familiar with the interviews confirmed Byrne’s account of the meetings.
related: The CEO Of Overstock Was A Spy For The FBI, Compelled To Have A Romantic Relationship With A Russian National, And Is Now Calling Out The FBI For The Soft Coup Against President Trump...DOJ officials said they could not comment on Byrne’s allegations.
“I gave to the DOJ documents concerning both the origin of the Russian probe and the probe into Hillary Clinton, both of which I was involved in, and both of which turned out to be less about law enforcement than they were about political espionage,” Byrne told SaraACarter.com Monday. He noted that the communications will prove that the FBI also had an operation into Clinton Foundation that he was directly involved in.
“This is going to become the greatest political scandal in US history,” he said. “If we survive it, and if Rule of Law returns to America, it will be due to one man: Bill Barr.”THIS IS GOING TO BECOME THE GREATEST POLITICAL SCANDAL IN US HISTORY. IF WE SURVIVE IT, AND IF RULE OF LAW RETURNS TO AMERICA, IT WILL BE DUE TO ONE MAN: BILL BARR, BYRNE SAID.
Several weeks ago, FBI officials told SaraACarter.com that they declined to comment on Byrne’s allegations.
Byrne said the investigation into Clinton was one of the main reasons he...

Police Violently Repress Protests in Hong Kong, Leaving Pools of Blood Throughout the City
The harrowing image of the young woman, yet to be identified, bleeding profusely from her eye socket inspired protesters Monday to demand Hong Kong police “give us the eye back.”
In another video, journalists caught police beating a complying protester and squeezing him into a pool of his own blood as the protester repeatedly told officers he was complying with his arrest and in significant pain.
Police also used tear gas liberally in contained spaces – most notably, in an enclosed Mass Transit Rail (MTR) station – and fired pellets and bean bags at close range, injuring protesters. Many online questioned the use of tear gas, meant to disperse crowds, in a space where the protesters were trapped and could not physically disperse.
Protesters have launched a White House petition to brand the Hong Kong police force a terrorist organization which, as of Monday morning, has enough signatures for an official U.S. government response.
Thousands of protesters took to the streets on Saturday and Sunday throughout the city, the Hong Kong Free Press (HKFP) reported, despite police limiting the scope of protests, banning marching in many instances, and keeping protesters away from government buildings and police stations. While the protest movement has been overwhelmingly peaceful, protesters have attacked government buildings to prevent officials from conducting business that would limit their civil liberties. Most prominently, protesters destroyed the headquarters of the Legislative Council (LegCo) – only targeting the facilities needed to pass laws – to keep legislators from passing a law that would allow China to extradite anyone present in the city for violating communist laws.
A full withdrawal of the extradition law – which makes Communist Party laws viable on Hong Kong soil and, thus, violates the “One Country, Two Systems” policy that governs the city – is the primary demand of the protest movement. Lawmakers have tabled the bill, which allows them to revive it at any time, but have refused to withdraw it.
Protesters began surrounding a police station in the neighborhood of Tsim Sha Tsui late Sunday, prompting police to flood the area with tear gas and use bean bags, pellets, and...
