Your Smart Phone is now the battleground as China seeks cyber dominance

We already knew that a weaponized Deep State Blob was jumping over the Constitutional guardrails to monitor Americans. Whether it was the State Department’s Global Engagement Center or Big Finance giddily handing over MAGA customer information without a court order, the Deep State has waded through Americans’ smartphones and social media at will to categorize, target, and silence Americans. This behavior is shameful, and after January 20, 2025, hopefully, investigations will be announced for at least the worst of the worst of the Deep State Offenders.

Because of this unlawful behavior, the $106 billion per year spent on the National Intelligence Program, the “Black Budget,” has been squandered. China has taken advantage of the U.S. Government’s unconstitutional behavior by shimming its way into the entire U.S. Telecommunications Sector. China has seized the cyber high ground by dominating the network architecture of the Internet Service Providers. While the Federal Intelligence and Law Enforcement communities should have been securing cyberspace from China and other totalitarian regimes, it appears China has the jump on the U.S. Government and is, in some ways, shoving American Government spies out of their advantageous hiding positions and taking over. The term every American should be familiar with is “Salt Typhoon”, the name given to the ongoing, Chinese Cyber rampage, that appears to be overwhelming the American Government cyber efforts.

Indications that China’s Salt Typhoon cyber assault is overwhelming the U.S. Government:

If you think your smartphone is burning hot, working slowly, or your text inbox is being barraged by the “Hey, I found your number on my cell phone, please remind me where we met” and similar text messages, you are not alone. Assistant Director Bryan Vorndran of the FBI’s Cyber Division said, “Threat actors affiliated with the People’s Republic of China (PRC) have targeted commercial telecommunications providers to compromise sensitive data and engage in cyber espionage.” In addition, Vorndran said, “Together with our interagency partners, the FBI issued guidance to enhance the visibility of network defenders and to harden devices against PRC exploitation. We strongly encourage organizations to review and implement the recommended measures in this guide and to report suspicious activity to their local FBI field office.”

At least the senile Chicom puppet is leaving in January if not sooner.

I don’t want them to leave.

I was hoping for “A Bronx Tale” scenario.

Where America locks the doors and gives them the good news that now they can’t leave.

Sigh.

If a traitor is 'group pardoned' by Biden, can he still be sentenced to death for selling out the country to China?

Smartphones are by far the most vulnerable piece of technology that most people own and use.
