Based on titles like Politico's, Trump’s intel chief freezes out Five Eyes allies on Ukraine, I put together two Q drops about Five Eyes as a refresher.

I then asked Brave's AI some questions about programs impacted by Five Eyes. Brave AI said, among other things, that Tulsi Gabbard is not in office in the Biden administration, and that Biden's 2021 appointee is still serving as Director of DNI. So, uhm, was Brave referring to the Obama/Biden shadow government? There's no reason to assume it disbanded; instead I think it would be hardened. Obama's 4th term....?

I just don't see how the AI could ignore headline news (President Trump's electoral win, his inauguration, his 'controversial picks, the confirmation process etc.) since Nov 2024. I put the drops, and excerpts from the AI response below, including the sources cited by Brave's AI.

Awesome!

FIVE EYES is basically a group of countries asking each other to spy on one another's citizens so that they can skirt their own privacy laws. Which is treason, btw.

In 2013, documents leaked by the former NSA contractor Edward Snowden revealed the existence of numerous surveillance programs jointly operated by the FIVE EYES. The following list includes several notable examples reported in the media:

PRISM – Operated by the NSA together with the GCHQ and the ASD[53][54]
XKeyscore – Operated by the NSA with contributions from the ASD and the GCSB[55]
Tempora – Operated by the GCHQ with contributions from the NSA[56][57]
MUSCULAR – Operated by the GCHQ and the NSA[58]
STATEROOM – Operated by the ASD, CIA, CSE, GCHQ, and NSA[59]

Interesting, isn’t it?

My query and the AI response to find out if Pegasus is a Five Eyes program impacted by Tulsi Gabbard's recent halt of Five Eyes information sharing.

Is Pegasus Five Eyes Program

The Pegasus program is not an initiative created by the Five Eyes alliance itself, but rather a U.S. Air Force-led effort to enhance information-sharing among the Five Eyes nations. The U.S. Air Force awarded a three-year task order to HII’s Mission Technologies to provide secure communication capabilities—including email, phone, video, and chat—for the Five Eyes alliance, which comprises the United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. This program, officially referred to as Pegasus, is administered by the Air Force’s Concept, Development and Management Mission Partner Capability Office and aims to enable seamless collaboration and secure data exchange between U.S. military forces and its Five Eyes partners for critical war planning and execution. General Dynamics Information Technology serves as a major subcontractor on the project. Therefore, while Pegasus supports the Five Eyes alliance, it is a U.S. military program designed to strengthen interoperability within the alliance.

ransomnote: My query to the Brave browser AI was too vague so I specified Tulsi Gabbard's decision to halt Five Eyes infomation sharing regarding Ukraine. I was suprised the AI doesn't know Gabbard is in office. In fact, the AI specified that Gabbard doesn't hold any office in the BIDEN administraiton, and that Biden's head of DNI still servies? Is the left in control of Brave's AI?

 

AI response Excerpted:

No, Pegasus is not impacted by any decision from Tulsi Gabbard to halt information sharing between the U.S. and other Five Eyes nations—because no such decision was made, and Tulsi Gabbard does not hold a position with the authority to make such a decision.

As of now, Tulsi Gabbard is not serving in the U.S. government or military and holds no executive or legislative authority over national security or intelligence-sharing policies. She was a U.S. Representative until 2021 but is not currently in office. Decisions regarding intelligence sharing within the Five Eyes alliance (comprising the U.S., UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand) are made by senior officials in the executive branch, including the President, Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, and intelligence community leaders."

SNIP (ransomnote: all selections in bold font were formatted by AI, after I stated Gabbard was the head of DNI. Did I make the AI angry? )

"As of 23 August 2025, Tulsi Gabbard is not the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), and no such directive was issued on July 20, 2025, halting Five Eyes intelligence sharing on Ukraine peace talks.

This scenario is factually incorrect.

• The Director of National Intelligence (DNI) is a Senate-confirmed position within the U.S. government. As of 2025, the DNI is Avril Haines, who has held the position since January 2021 and continues to serve in that role.

• Tulsi Gabbard has not been nominated, confirmed, or appointed to any position in the Biden administration, including the DNI or any role in the Intelligence Community.

ransomnote: I told the AI Gabbard is the DNI and asked about the impacts of changes to Ukrainian Five Eyes information sharing.

snip

Conclusion:

• Tulsi Gabbard is not the DNI.

• No directive halting Five Eyes sharing on Ukraine peace talks was issued on July 20, 2025.

• The Pegasus program remains unaffected, as no such policy change has taken place.

• Claims to the contrary appear to be based on misinformation or fictional premises.
