Evidence in new case suggests Obama admin colluded with Big Tech to steal invention that led to Chinese dominance

Jeff Parker, the CEO of the small Florida-based technology company ParkerVision, explained to Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck Thursday how tech giant Qualcomm allegedly stole one of the most revolutionary patented innovations in American history with the help of elements of the Obama administration — technology that was ultimately offshored to China, possibly giving America’s pre-eminent adversary a competitive edge.

“We are at the beginning of seeing corruption exposed like never before in America,” said Beck.

Long war

ParkerVision has spent around 11 years fighting Qualcomm over the tech giant’s alleged infringement of its patented technology concerning “down-converting” electromagnetic signals — a process now used in virtually every phone, wireless device, and Bluetooth device.

Representatives of the two companies apparently met in the early 2000s, with Qualcomm expressing an interest in acquiring rights to ParkerVision’s invention, which would have helped it connect phones to the internet. Qualcomm, a multinational company headquartered in San Diego, reportedly signed multiple special nondisclosure agreements in order to learn about how ParkerVision’s down-converting system worked, particularly its energy sampling technique, which differed from the voltage sampling technique previously used in conventional down-converting systems.

According to Parker, the two companies were unable to reach a licensing agreement and went their separate ways. A few years later, Qualcomm started using a revolutionary new chip for smartphones that created major waves, apparently taking the company from around 30% to roughly 90% market share. The phones that drove this growth allegedly relied on ParkerVision’s patented technology.

After spotting what appeared to be its technology discussed in a Qualcomm conference paper, ParkerVision launched an investigation and determined, partly on the basis of reverse engineering, that its patented technology had been stolen. ParkerVision filed a lawsuit against Qualcomm in 2011.

Parker told Beck that emails exposed during discovery showed frustrated Qualcomm engineers who were facing pressure to make a third-generation chip discussing a return to the ParkerVision technology.

Court documents reveal that the jury that saw that and other internal communications returned a unanimous verdict in 2013 “finding that Qualcomm directly and indirectly infringed” upon multiple claims across four asserted patents and awarded ParkerVision $173 million in damages.

Feds Arrest Nine People in Massive $200 Million Smuggling Operation Linked to China

Federal authorities have arrested nine individuals linked to a massive smuggling operation that funneled counterfeit and illegal goods worth at least $200 million into America through the bustling Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.

This intricate operation exploited logistics companies, warehouse operators, and corrupt truck drivers to import vast quantities of illegal merchandise, including counterfeit goods and harmful chemicals, thus bypassing U.S. customs regulations.

The defendants now face severe charges, including conspiracy, smuggling, and breaking customs seals.

Acting U.S. Attorney Joseph T. McNally described the operation as a significant breach of national security during a press conference.

According to McNally, the criminals exploited the security system by obtaining advanced knowledge of the unique serial numbers of seals assigned to shipments.

They produced identical counterfeit seals in China, which were then shipped to accomplices in the U.S. These duplicate fake seals were designed to circumvent the normal inspection process.

Instead of transporting containers to designated secondary inspection sites, corrupt truck drivers were directed by the members of the conspiracy to take them to nearby warehouses. There, the seals were cut, the illegal goods removed, and new counterfeit seals applied before being sent back for Customs inspection.

Trump Says Microsoft In Talks To Purchase TikTok

Late Monday night aboard Air Force One, President Donald Trump told reporters that Microsoft is in discussions with the China-based tech giant ByteDance to acquire TikTok, according to a report from Bloomberg.

“I would say yes,” Trump told reporters when asked if Microsoft would purchase the short video app used by more than 170 million Americans. 

The president continued, “A lot of interest in TikTok. There’s great interest in TikTok.”

Such a deal with Chinese owner ByteDance would avert a ban in the US. On Trump’s first day in office, he signed an executive order extending the divest-or-ban deadline by 75 days. This extension gives ByteDance sufficient time to negotiate a deal with a US company. 

Last week, Trump told reporters he was open to X’s Elon Musk or Oracle founder Larry Ellison purchasing TikTok. 

In recent days, AI startup Perplexity proposed a merger plan with TikTok, with the US government receiving half of the new company, a source told Reuters. 

Earlier Monday, Trump told House Republican leaders at the Trump National Doral just outside Miami that he previously pushed for a ban of the video app under national security grounds; however, he changed his mind due to pro-Trump content creators that flourished on the platform.

“We’ll see what happens. We’re going to have a lot of people bidding on it, and if we can save all that voice and all the jobs, and China won’t be involved, we don’t want China involved, but we’ll see what happens,” he told lawmakers, referring to TikTok.

The Nvidia Story Is A Narrative Scam Attack On US Markets

Simple fact: You must have maximum powered servers, high speed computing (HSC), and superconductor chip production to make AI. Where did this “small China lab” get the chips and power

CNBC reported that perhaps the Chinese lab “found a way to work around the rules, or that the export controls were not the chokehold Washington intended.”

They are referring to ITARs, and with such demand and control on the GPUs, there is absolutely NO WAY. Nvidia or other such tech chip firms had to have facilitated this Chinese effort to produce this AI. PERIOD.

And that is against FEDERAL LAW.

This was an attack on the US Market and the new Trump Administration.

If I were a betting man, I would expect that the Deep State of the US that was just unseated, assisted the CCP to build this AI. It’s the ONLY way China would have been able to put this perfect storm together.

Remember the Wuhan lab and U.S. cooperation to develop a gain-of-function enhanced coronavirus?

Get ready, the truth is going to come out fast.

CIA Finally Cops to Likely COVID Lab Leak Reality: Report

Five years late to the party, the Central Intelligence Agency joins noted other conspiracy theorists — i.e., anyone with common sense — by acknowledging what was plain to see for anyone not privy to classified intelligence from the start: COVID emerged from a dingy communist lab in Wuhan, China, which was bankrolled by Anthony Fauci’s NIAID through grants for gain-of-function research awarded to “nonprofit” EcoHealth Alliance, run by Anthony Fauci’s close friend, Peter Daszak.

Via The New York Times (emphasis added):

The C.I.A. has said for years that it did not have enough information to conclude whether the Covid pandemic emerged naturally from a wet market in Wuhan, China, or from an accidental leak at a research lab there.

But the agency issued a new assessment this week, with analysts saying they now favor the lab theory.

There is no new intelligence behind the agency’s shift, officials said. Rather it is based on the same evidence it has been chewing over for months.

The analysis, however, is based in part on a closer look at the conditions in the high security labs in Wuhan province before the pandemic outbreak, according to people familiar with the agency’s work.

What curious and serendipitous timing that the CIA changes its official position on COVID origins just as Trump takes office!

CIA Director Ratcliffe Vows to Uncover COVID Origins, Combat Chinese Influence.

Newly confirmed Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director John Ratcliffe is launching a probe into what the United States intelligence community knew regarding the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, Radcliffe is directing investigators to review evidence held by the CIA and others that indicated the virus leaked from a laboratory in Wuhan, China.

The CIA has faced scrutiny regarding its analysis of COVID-19’s origins. Allegations surfaced that agency analysts were influenced to dismiss the possibility of a lab leak. While the virus’s emergence in China is undisputed, the lab-origin theory has gained renewed attention.

Ratcliffe, who was sworn in after his confirmation on Thursday, also slammed his predecessor, John Brennan, for leading the agency astray during President Barack Obama’s tenure. “It would be fair to say his tenure was one of the worst things that has ever happened to the agency,” the new CIA director said.

Threats posed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) will also be a top priority under Ratcliffe. He highlighted, referencing conversations with President Donald Trump, the significance of understanding the origins of COVID-19, which he believes are linked to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Ratcliffe has committed to addressing this issue transparently and promptly.

WHO Top Scientist Was ‘Primary Collaborator’ of Peter Daszak — the Researcher Under HHS Scrutiny for Coronavirus Experiments in Wuhan

Jeremy Farrar — chief scientific officer of the World Health Organization (WHO) and a central figure in efforts to suppress speculation about a possible lab origin of COVID-19 — collaborated on a viral discovery project in Southeast Asia involving Peter Daszak, a scientist at the center of that speculation, according to grant documents.

A 2010 National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant proposal describes Farrar as the “primary collaborator” in Vietnam of a controversial organization that has come under scrutiny for its work on novel coronaviruses with the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

The organization was then called the Wildlife Trust, but would soon be renamed EcoHealth Alliance.

At the time of the 2010 grant proposal, Daszak was the president of the Wildlife Trust, while Farrar helmed the Oxford University Clinical Research Unit in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, where he had worked as a clinician since 1996.

The Oxford team was slated to ship its samples to a lab at Columbia University, not to Wuhan.

Still, the apparent connection between Farrar and Daszak — who faces possible debarment from U.S. tax dollars — could present a previously unknown conflict of interest on the pandemic origins question at the highest levels of the WHO.

Both Daszak and EcoHealth are under debarment proceedings by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for inadequate oversight of high-risk coronavirus research in Wuhan.

The revelation comes at a time of uncertainty about the future of the U.S. relationship with the WHO. The Financial Times reported that the incoming Trump administration could announce a withdrawal from the organization as early as day one. Farrar became the chief scientist at the WHO in May 2023.

A second WHO investigation into the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic — launched after Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said publicly that the first investigation’s findings, including that a lab origin was “extremely unlikely,” had been inadequate — has been delayed for years.

Reached for comment, WHO spokesperson Tarik Jasarevic did not respond to questions about the apparent Farrar-Daszak partnership.

On the future of the U.S. relationship with the WHO, Jasarevic pointed to comments Tedros made in early December 2024 stating that “I think it would be good to give them some space for the transition and I hope, I believe they will do the right thing.”

On the second phase investigation, Jasarevic said that the group of global scientists charged with the report, the Scientific Advisory Group for the Origins of Novel Pathogens, “is currently working on an independent assessment of the origins of SARS-CoV-2 … We don’t know when it will be completed.”

Farrar and Daszak did not respond to emailed questions.

Trump Administration To Deliver More Weapons To Taiwan

In what will be seen by China as an escalation of war, the United States will deliver more weapons to Taiwan under the incoming Trump administration. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz has confirmed that the president-elect intends to give the island, currently at odds with China over its sovereignty, all the defense systems it has paid for. This move highlights the frequent U.S. arms sales to Taiwan.

China’s leaders have repeatedly condemned United States arms sales to Taipei as “destabilizing and provocative.” In response to the weapons agreements, China has conducted frequent naval and aerial drills around the island as a way of showing force against U.S. arms sales to Taiwan.

Speaking at the U.S. Institute of Peace in Washington on Tuesday, Waltz, a Florida Congressman, stated: “We have over a $20 billion backlog of things that they paid for and that we need to work hard to free up and have them get what they paid for as a deterrent measure. The backlog is mainly due to the extensive nature of U.S. arms sales.”

Biden Backpedals on TikTok Stance, While CEO Shou Zi Chew to Attend Republican Inauguration Amid Rumors of Elon Musk Acquisition

An unexpected turn of events, the 
Biden administration has reversed its position on TikTok , allowing the popular social media app to remain active in the United States despite growing national security concerns.

Additionally, it has been confirmed that 
TikTok CEO, Shou Zi Chew, will attend the inauguration of the Republican leader , in what appears to be a symbolic gesture of détente between the government and the powerful Chinese platform.

According to reports from The New York Times and the Chinese state broadcaster CCTV, Chew will have a prominent seat at the event, a gesture that underscores the platform’s relevance in today’s political and cultural landscape.

Meanwhile, rumors about a possible sale of TikTok have begun to gain traction in business circles.

Sources close to the company have confirmed that tech mogul Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and owner of X (formerly Twitter), is seriously considering acquiring the video platform.

This move would not only mark a significant shift in the ownership of one of the world’s most popular apps but could also introduce a new power dynamic between the tech giants and the Republican administration.

China’s new microwave weapon challenges US tech dominance

A new energy weapon has emerged in Beijing’s arsenal. HPM (High-power microwave), which uses microwaves, can affect electronics on a large scale, such as in drones, disrupting their operations without causing visible damage.

The Chinese solution is based on Stirling engines, which allow for the efficient conversion of thermal energy into mechanical energy, potentially generating electromagnetic pulses similar to those produced by atomic bomb explosions. The efficiency of this solution reaches – according to Chinese sources – 96.6 percent.

This weapon was developed by a team from the National University of Defense Technology in Changsha, and it can target not only drones but also military aircraft and satellites.

HPM also allows for precise energy focusing and adjustment of the effective range. The pulse it emits is similar to those accompanying nuclear explosions.
