Elite US Air Force Pilot Arrested For Training The Chinese Military
The following has made for quite the headline, as a retired elite US Air Force pilot is in very hot water and faces US intelligence and military questioning: "A former US Air Force fighter pilot with more than two decades of experience with nuclear delivery systems and aircraft, including advanced F-35 stealth jets, has been arrested and charged with conspiring to help the Chinese military," according to CNN.
65-year old Gerald Eddie Brown Jr. was arrested in Jeffersonville, Indiana, on Wednesday after one or more lengthy recent trips to China where it's believed he not only briefed officials from China's defense establishment, but provided training for Chinese PLA military pilots.

Greer appeared on Fox Business program Mornings With Maria, and spoke with host Maria Bartiromo about a shift to tools such as Section 301 targets unfair trade practices, including forced labor in supply chains and industrial excess capacity, as the Trump administration seeks to continue its sweeping tariff policy.
“Section 301 allows the office of the United States trade representative to investigate unfair trade practices on a country by country basis,” Greer said. “And we've iden...

Russia Calls Speedboat Shooting Incident Off Cuba An 'Aggressive US Provocation'
The deadly US-registered speedboat shooting incident in Cuba carries the potential to ignite a serious conflict between Cuba and the United States, amid an ongoing investigation into exactly what happened overseen by the White House.
Russia has reacted, on Thursday laying quick blame on the US side for a 'deliberate' act of 'provocation' in order to keep up the pressure on Havana and escalate the situation.

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told TASS, "It is an aggressive US provocation, aimed at escalating the situation and triggering conflict."
Moscow has always been a close powerful ally of Cuba, and so it's expected that the Kremlin quickly come to Cuba's side, also after Russian officials vehemently condemned the US raid on Venezuela and Maduro's capture.
The Cuban version of events is that a speedboat out of Florida entered its sovereign waters and that...

Is The Trump Admin Planning To Use Banks To Enforce Immigration Laws?
Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news,
President Trump's administration is ramping up its assault on illegal immigration by eyeing a bold new tactic: enlisting banks to verify the citizenship of every customer.
This potential executive order would mandate financial institutions to collect proof like passports from both new and existing account holders, effectively cutting off undocumented migrants from the banking system they've exploited under open-border policies.
It's a commonsense step to safeguard American resources, but watch as Democrats and their corporate allies howl in protest – the same crowd that fights tooth and nail against voter ID requirements won't back this either.
NEW: President Trump is reportedly considering forcing banks to help in his administration's illegal immigration crackdown.
According to CNN, the banking industry is "very alarmed" by the potential action.

As US Readies Iran Action, Kim Jong Un Vaunts 'Irreversible & Permanent' Nuclear Arsenal
Kim Jong-un just gave a fresh nuclear speech, vowing that North Korea will expand its atomic arsenal in both scale and sophistication, and that this is necessary given pressure from nuclear-armed "imperialist" superpowers like the United States.
Kim presented the strategy during a weeklong congress of the ruling Workers' Party of Korea, declaring that his country's nuclear-armed status is "irreversible and permanent" (though not for the first time).
He pledged that Pyongyang will continue to strengthen its arsenal "as long as nuclear weapons exist on the earth" and as long as the country faces threats from "US imperialists and their followers," according to state media on Thursday.
