The ideologues behind the blueprint for President Trump to “dismantle the administrative state” in the U.S. are working to shake up Europe, and they hope to dismantle the European Commission and the European Court of Justice.

I listened to an interview with Bernard-Henri Lévy. I’ve never actually listened to him before. The woman who interviewed him worked for Radio Farda (the Iranian branch of the US government-funded Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty). I suspected that the channel (Iran International English) was run by an Iranian opposition group. Daniel Davis interviewed one of the hosts earlier this week.

Within the last two days the New York Times produced four anti-China opinion pieces:
Are the Chinese Protests a Moment or a Movement?
The Communist Party Is Losing China’s People
Xi Broke the Social Contract That Helped China Prosper
All four predict doom for China and president Xi’s leadership. In typical color-revolution fashion the sudden onslaught of these pieces follows recent reports of minor protests in some Chinese cities related to zero-Covid measures.

During the Trump administration, the FBI paid $5 million to an Israeli software company for a license to use its “zero-click” surveillance software called Pegasus. Zero-click refers to software that can download the contents of a target’s computer or mobile device without the need for tricking the target into clicking on it. The FBI operated the software from a warehouse in New Jersey.

NSO Group Pitched Phone Hacking Tech to American Police
A former NSO employee told Motherboard that Phantom was “a brand name for U.S. territory,” but the “same Pegasus,” referring to NSO’s phone hacking tool that the company has sold to multiple countries including the United Arab Emirates, Mexico, and Saudi Arabia for millions of dollars.

Everyone’s got a hunger for data. Constitutional rights sometimes prevent those with a hunger from serving themselves. But when they’ve got third parties on top of third parties, all Fourth Amendment bets are off. Data brokers are getting rich selling government agencies the data they want at low, low prices, repackaging information gathered from other third parties into tasty packages that give US government agencies the data they want with the plausible deniability they need.
