EXPORTING OPPRESSION: Authoritarian Governments Use Huawei Technology To Censor Journalists. “Researchers at Top10VPN determined that 17 of the 69 countries studied use the Chinese telecom giant’s hardware to enforce censorship laws. Cuba uses Huawei’s ‘middlebox’ devices to censor stories that criticize the country’s communist regime. In Burundi, the government blocks media outlets that have criticized the president. Fifteen other countries use Huawei hardware specifically to censor news, the report found.”

HMM: Highest Vaccination Rate, Record-Breaking COVID Numbers. “A disproportionate number of hospitalizations in Vermont are in the southwestern part of the state, near the Massachusetts border. Vermont’s Department of Health said a majority were not ‘fully vaccinated’ against the virus.”

JOE BIDEN’S RETURN TO GOOD GOVERNANCE: Biden legal defeats rapidly piling up across the nation on broad array of policy fronts. “On issues ranging from vaccine mandates to immigration policy and racial preferences, federal courts across the country have repeatedly found the Biden administration to be pushing policies which violate the Constitution.”

INDEED: Sorry, Commies, You Can’t Ruin Christmas. “Dr. Fauxchi (see what I did there) stated in October that it was ‘too soon’ to say whether or not it will be safe to gather for Christmas. That was before the thus far not-lethal omicron variant appeared. I believe it is not too soon to say Fauxchi is covitarded and I’m spending Christmas where and with whom I choose.”

HE’S NOT ALL THERE: Hunter Biden’s Therapist Said Joe Biden ‘Triumph[ed] Over Dementia.’

In January 2019, Ablow offered to provide a tongue-in-cheek endorsement for a Joe Biden presidential campaign: “‘Any man who can triumph over dementia is a giant. Think what he could do for our nation’s needed recovery.’ Dr Keith Ablow.”

“Perhaps he can help us remember all we intended to be as a people since he can now remember his address,” the mock endorsement continued.

Ablow was close to Hunter and also served as his onetime landlord, the book says. In February 2019, Ablow and Hunter discussed hosting a podcast together, with Hunter texting: “Dad is our first guest.”

Ablow responded: “Does he recall details tho, with the dementia and all.”

Hunter retorted: “Not much these days but since it’s all fake news anyway I don’t see the problem.”

The story is based on material from Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop, and perhaps could have been known before the 2020 election if the press and social media hadn’t squashed the story.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Democrats’ Lust for Baby Killing Is Really Creepy. “Abortion — that most contentious of all issues — is front and center in a way that it hasn’t been since the abominable Roe v Wade decision was handed down in early 1973. American lefties are melting down over the fact that their ability to kill babies in the womb with impunity might — heavy on the might — be restricted a bit. They’re so twisted they act as if the very survival of the species depends on the ability to commit infanticide.”

WATCHING THE DETECTIVES: US government agencies bought Chinese surveillance tech despite federal ban. “Purchasing records seen by TechCrunch and video surveillance news site IPVM show the agencies collectively spent thousands of dollars on purchasing video surveillance equipment manufactured by Lorex, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dahua Technology. Dahua is one of several China-based companies banned from selling to the federal government under a 2019 defense spending law over fears that the technology could help the Chinese government conduct espionage.”

Yours Truly: Soros-Backed DA Larry Krasner Freed a Suspected Carjacker to Become a Suspected Murderer. “During his first campaign, Krasner ran as the anti-establishment candidate promising to end cash bail and scale back prosecutions of suspected felons. He ran as a civil rights attorney who defended Occupy Wall Street astroturfers pro bono and also supported (and represented) Black Lives Matter. Nevertheless, the vast majority — 85% — of Philly’s exploding number of murder victims are black.”

At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that that’s what the FBI wants people to think, to steer them towards less-private apps.

HMM: China’s disappearing ships: The latest headache for the global supply chain.

Analysts think they’ve found the culprit: China’s Personal Information Protection Law, which took effect November 1. It requires companies that process data to receive approval from the Chinese government before they can let personal information leave Chinese soil — a rule that reflects the fear in Beijing that such data could end up in the hands of foreign governments.

The law doesn’t mention shipping data. But Chinese data providers might be withholding information as a precaution, according to Anastassis Touros, AIS network team leader at Marine Traffic, a major ship-tracking information provider.

“Whenever you have a new law, we have a time period where everyone needs to check out if things are okay, ” Touros said.

Other industry experts have more clues of the law’s influence. Cook said that colleagues in China told her that some AIS transponders were removed from stations based along Chinese coastlines at the start of the month, at the instruction of national security authorities. The only systems allowed to remain needed to be installed by “qualified parties.”

Unintended consequence of Beijing’s new privacy law, or another power play by Xi?
