U.S. officials accuse COSCO of hidden spying equipment as China denies claims
x/xi-jinping
— 15h
U.S. officials allege that COSCO uses concealed, sophisticated signals-intelligence equipment on its merchant ships to monitor military communications, encryption developments, and key maritime routes across Europe, North America, and Asia, citing a decades-long Beijing partnership. China and COSCO deny the spying claims, while the allegations surface as Washington discusses security and trade with Beijing ahead of a Trump-Xi summit and amid Pentagon listings tying COSCO to China’s military.

If COSCO ships are docking at our ports for decades, basic due diligence should've caught this way earlier than now.
Maxwell Habeas Petition Denied; Supreme Court Rejected
x/jeffrey-epstein
— Aug 25, 2026
A federal judge denied Ghislaine Maxwell’s bid to overturn her 2021 sex-trafficking conviction and 20-year prison sentence, finding her claims meritless and largely barred. The decision also noted that newly released Epstein investigation documents do not exonerate her and, in fact, reinforce the trial rulings, with Maxwell previously seeking relief via habeas corpus and even urging President Trump for clemency.

Reports say US PrSM missile killed civilians in Lamerd, target unclear
x/islamic-republic-of-iran
— 1d
Airwars and the Associated Press mapped the Lamerd strikes and found that US-made Precision Strike Missiles killed civilians up to 50 meters from detonation and caused damage far beyond that radius, prompting warnings from weapons experts that such missiles should not be used near populated areas. The US military has acknowledged using PrSMs in Iran but denies striking Lamerd, while analysts emphasize the weapon’s midair fragmentation and potential for widespread harm as production continues for broader use.

If the Pentagon is denying it hit Lamerd while also confirming PrSM use in Iran, someone's math isn't adding up.
