Kash Patel Pushing to Release Investigative Files Related to Swalwell’s Relationship with Chinese Spy and Honeypot Fang Fang: Report

FBI Director Kash Patel is reportedly pushing to release investigative files related to Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell’s relationship with Fang Fang.

In was previously reported that the Intel Community has a classified report detailing Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell’s intimate relationship with Chinese spy and honeypot Fang Fang.

Recall, according to Axios, Fang Fang was a “bundler” for Eric Swalwell and other Democrat candidates but it was also reported the Chinese spy had an intimate relationship with Swalwell.

A source on Capitol Hill previously confirmed to the Federalist that Swalwell indeed had a sexual relationship with Fang Fang.

Despite the Chinese spy scandal, Swalwell remained on the House Intelligence Committee (thanks to Pelosi) and had access to some of the nation’s most highly classified information.

In 2021, Breitbart News reported that China puppet Joe Biden was hiding the classified report on Swalwell’s sexual relationship with Fang Fang.

“The report, which intelligence and national security sources familiar with its contents who spoke on condition of anonymity told Breitbart News, contains details of the nature of Swalwell’s relationship with Fang Fang including certain sexual acts they allegedly engaged in together. Sources familiar with it, however, would not provide any more detail on the nature of those acts or other details in the report—which is currently classified,” Breitbart News reported.

“For those who have seen the details of the Swalwell case, it was shocking that Pelosi and Schiff so willingly kept him on the intelligence committee even for nakedly partisan lawmakers like themselves,” a former senior national security official familiar with the details of the report told Breitbart News.

China’s Hubei province arrests 7 and shuts websites in fentanyl crackdown

A Chinese province has launched a crackdown on the fentanyl trade — a contentious issue in U.S.-China relations — arresting seven people and shutting down more than 200 websites in recent months, state media reported Thursday.

The announcement came shortly after U.S. President Donald Trump said he would postpone a highly anticipated trip to China because of the Iran war. Trump has used tariffs to try to pressure China to do more to stem the export of fentanyl precursors — the chemical ingredients that go into the synthetic opioid blamed for tens of thousands of overdose deaths annually in the U.S.

The Hubei Daily News said in an online report that a fentanyl precursor task force established in December had investigated 22 cases in Hubei province through February. Besides the seven arrested, a dozen other people have been subjected to “coercive measures,” which can include being summoned or detained. Four companies have been penalized, the newspaper said.

Xinhua, China’s state-run news agency, issued a similar report. It said the task force had been set up to follow a directive from China’s Ministry of Public Security. The operation followed an agreement by China at the end of October to take steps to stop the precursor trade in return for a halving of the fentanyl-related tariff on U.S. imports from China to 10%.

Siblings Indicted in Alleged IED Plot at MacDill Air Force Base in Florida, One Suspect Believed to Have Fled to China

Alen Zheng and his sister, Ann Mary Zheng, have been indicted in connection with a possible improvised explosive device (IED) allegedly planted at MacDill Air Force Base in Florida. MacDill is home to CENTCOM and U.S. Special Operations Command.

On March 16, 2026, a suspicious package was discovered outside the Visitor Control Center at the Dale Mabry Gate of MacDill, which appeared to have “possible energetic materials.”

Following the discovery, the gate and nearby roads were shut down for about 6–7 hours while first responders and the FBI investigated. The device was described as potentially “very deadly” if it had detonated, though it did not explode.

The base raised its threat level to FPCON Charlie (the second-highest force protection condition, indicating a serious incident has occurred) and implemented heightened security.

On March 26, 2026,  federal prosecutors unsealed indictments against the pair. Alen, who has allegedly already fled to China, is accused of planting the device.

He faces charges including:

  • Attempted damage to government property by fire or explosion
  • Unlawful making of a destructive device
  • Possession of an unregistered destructive device
  • He is currently believed to be in China and remains at large.

His sister is facing charges of accessory after the fact and tampering with evidence.

Bronze Age Artifact Made from ‘Space Metal’ Unearthed at a Sacrificial Site is Confirmed as the Oldest of Its Kind

A curious Bronze Age artifact unearthed at a ceremonial site in southwestern China has now been identified as the earliest known and the largest of its kind, according to newly published research.

Crafted from meteoritic iron, the rare discovery, described as resembling an “axe-like” instrument, was found at the Sanxingdui site in China’s Sichuan Province, one of the country’s most famous archaeological areas. The confirmation of the artifact’s age offers unique new perspectives on metallurgical practices that occurred early in Bronze Age China.

Discovery at Sanxingdui

Sanxingdui, which archaeologists believe was active from 2800 to 600 BCE, is renowned for the early evidence of industrial practices they have uncovered there, as well as its ancient sacrificial pits and other ceremonial features.

A range of items crafted from bronze have been recovered as well, and in the case of the meteoritic iron blade, analysis has shown that the object was crafted in a period that predates the use of iron smelting in this part of the world.

A key indication of the extraterrestrial origin of the metal used to craft the artifact is its high concentrations of nickel and iron, which appear to rule out the use of early smelting techniques.

While this strongly supports that the object was crafted from meteoritic iron, Dr. Zishu Yang, the co-author of a recent study detailing the discovery, recently said in a statement that current analysis is “insufficient to definitively classify the specific type of meteorite,” and that the exact variety of meteorite the material was sourced from remains unknown.

Going forward, additional analysis that Yang and his colleagues plan to undertake may help reveal further clues, including possible correlations between the unique artifact, its discovery location, and ancient Chinese historical records that may document meteorite impacts from which the iron could have been sourced.

US intel hid Chinese 2020 election meddling from Trump because they opposed his policies, memo says

Analysts inside the U.S. intelligence community sought to conceal evidence of Chinese influence efforts from President Donald Trump during the 2020 election, with analysts saying they didn’t want their intel used by “that vulgarian in the Oval Office” to pursue policies toward China they personally disagreed with.

The revelation is found within a January 2021 report written by — and never before reported upon comments by — analytic ombudsman Barry Zulauf, who conducted a review of the spy community’s handling of Russian versus Chinese meddling efforts during the 2020 election. Among his conclusions was that intelligence analysts downplayed China’s actions because they had disdain for the “vulgarian” Trump and did not want to support the policies and priorities of the Trump administration toward China with which they “personally disagree.”

Just the News reported this week that the U.S. intelligence community has known since early 2020 that Beijing also gained access to American voter registration data and used that information to conduct opinion analysis related to the presidential election between Trump and then-former Vice President Joe Biden.

Chinese government election influence efforts in the 2020 election

This is not the only piece of evidence pointing to Chinese government election influence efforts in the 2020 election. Although much about China’s activities in 2020 remains classified, Just the News conducted a thorough review of publicly-available intelligence assessments, federal indictments, foreign government warnings, and cybersecurity firm analyses.

There is credible evidence that Chinese government-linked cyber hackers and Chinese social media troll farms took aim at the U.S. presidential election in 2020 and sought to undercut Trump during his run against now-former President Biden. There are also indicators that Chinese intelligence and law enforcement agencies — China’s Ministry of State Security (MSS) and its Ministry of Public Security (MPS) — also played a role in 2020.

Zulauf — a longtime intelligence officer — wrote in his January 2021 report: “Given analytic differences in the way Russia and China analysts examined their targets, China analysts appeared hesitant to assess Chinese actions as undue influence or interference. These analysts appeared reluctant to have their analysis on China brought forward because they tended to disagree with the Administration’s policies, saying in effect, I don’t want our intelligence used to support those policies.”

Chinese scientists have turned mosquitoes into flying vaccines — that can still bite humans

Researchers from the nation that likely unleashed COVID-19 unto the world have transformed mosquitoes into flying syringes.

Some researchers, including a group at the Bill Gates Foundation-backed Leiden University Medical Center in the Netherlands, have already attempted in recent years to fashion mosquitoes into flying vaccine delivery systems with human targets in mind.

Now, scientists at the state-controlled Chinese Academy of Sciences — an institution that has a strategic partnership with the People’s Liberation Army Academy of Military Sciences — have targeted bats, purportedly designing mosquitoes to instead deliver recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus-based rabies and Nipah vaccines to the flying mammals.

Like rabies, Nipah virus is a potentially deadly virus found in animals. Whereas rabies has nearly a 100% fatality rate in humans once symptoms manifest, the estimated case fatality rate for Nipah virus ranges from 40% to 75%.

Forced Organ Harvesting Issue Key to Shifting US Understanding of CCP, Says ‘Killed to Order’ Author

The Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) practice of forced organ harvesting is a lens through which Americans can come to understand the true nature of the CCP and how it engages with the United States and international community, according to Jan Jekielek, author of the new book “Killed to Order.”

Jekielek, senior editor and Washington bureau chief at The Epoch Times, sat down at the Hudson Institute with Nina Shea, director of the think tank’s Center for Religious Freedom, to discuss on March 18 evidence of the CCP’s forced organ harvesting and how the regime expands complicity.

In the book, Jekielek discusses how the United States poured money and support into China beginning in the 1970s, believing that industry would be a liberalizing force, and how that belief would unravel only decades later.

The book also reveals how the CCP began its practice of harvesting organs from unwilling prisoners as early as the 1980s, subsequently building up China’s transplantation expertise and expanding medical experimentation on political prisoners.

“The very moment when we were introducing them to the World Trade Organization, giving them [Most Favored Nation] status, this was going on, the organ harvesting was getting off the ground,” Shea said.

US Charges Supermicro Cofounder, 2 Workers With Sending Nvidia Chips to China

U.S. authorities on March 19 charged the cofounder of Super Micro Computer, also known as Supermicro, and two workers with diverting to China servers containing Nvidia-made chips, which are subject to U.S. export controls.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) said in a statement that it had arrested Yih-Shyan “Wally” Liaw, a U.S. citizen who co-founded Supermicro and served as senior vice president of business development at the publicly traded company, along with Taiwanese citizen Ting-Wei “Willy” Sun, who worked as a contractor for the company. Liaw is also a member of the company’s board of directors, according to a company statement.

The DOJ said that a third defendant, identified as Ruei-Tsang “Steven” Chang, a Taiwanese citizen who worked as a general manager for Supermicro in Taiwan, is still at large.

According to the indictment, between 2024 and 2025, the defendants allegedly diverted at least $2.5 billion worth of servers equipped with Nvidia-made graphics processing units (GPUs) to China in violation of U.S. export control laws.

Liaw and Chang allegedly directed executives of a Southeast Asian company, which the DOJ did not name in the indictment, to place purchase orders with Supermicro for servers with certain GPUs, purportedly for that company.

The servers were assembled in the United States, shipped to Supermicro facilities in Taiwan, and subsequently delivered to the company at another location in Southeast Asia, according to the indictment.

U.S. Tech Firms Demand Security Restrictions Against Chinese Robots

American A.I. and robotics companies are reportedly asking Congress to impose curbs on Chinese robotics manufacturers, due to their unfair business practices and the security risks they pose, Chinese media complained this week.

Interestingly, these concerns are particularly acute for humanoid robots, not the bulky industrial machines traditionally associated with the robotics industry.

Humanoid robots, the stuff of countless science fiction stories, are finally happening, and witnesses told the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Protection Subcommittee of the House Homeland Security Committee on Tuesday that China has developed a troubling lead in the new consumer technology.

Max Fenkell of the San Francisco-based company Scale AI highlighted a viral video from China’s Unitree Robotics that showed humanoid robots performing acrobatics and martial arts at a Lunar New Year celebration.

“The video went viral, not because it was impressive, but because of what happened when people compared it to last year, 12 months ago – the same robots could barely shuffle through a dance routine. This year, they’re doing karate. That is the speed of this competition,” Fenkell noted.

Fenkell said winning the humanoid robot race “requires a whole-of-government approach” to compete with China’s massive deployment of government funding and state power to support its robotics industry. He noted that American companies currently have the edge on quality of components and engineering, but China has taken the lead on implementing small-robot technology in practical ways.

“We’re seeing two different races play out and I fear right now the United States may be winning the wrong one,” he cautioned.

“The People’s Republic of China is moving aggressively to dominate the technologies that are reshaping the global economy and security, including artificial intelligence, robotics, and autonomous systems,” said subcommittee member Rep. Vince Fong (R-CA) in his opening statement.

Did the DHS “ALBERT” Intrusion Detection Systems Fail? China Obtained 2020 Voter Rolls and Made Fake Driver Licenses

Major revelations have emerged about the 2020 election. JustTheNews reported that U.S. intelligence agencies have had raw reports, finished intelligence products, and at least one presidential daily briefing.

They all contain knowledge about actual breaches and interference conducted by foreign actors to swing the 2020 election. But we were told the election was the most secure ever.

The intelligence community hid this from the 2020 Trump Administration, various officials, and the American people for years. This Ombudsman letter from Barry Zulauf explains that China was seemingly protected.

Info from China analysts was withheld or dismissed. The words “influence” and “interference” had different meanings regarding China than they did for other countries like Iran and Russia.

Those old reports show they knew Chinese intelligence had obtained voter registration data from multiple states. This is the data with personal ID information, including social security numbers and driver’s licenses. It’s the exact type of voter roll data the DOJ has been asking for.

TGP reported on the “ALBERT Sensor” intrusion detection system a few years ago. It was rapidly deployed in 2017 by DHS into county elections across the country. Did it not work for the 2020 election, or have States hidden voter roll intrusions from their citizens?
