Federal prosecutors gathered evidence from James Comey's top lieutenants that he authorized the leak of classified information to reporters just before the 2016 election but declined to bring criminal charges, according to recently declassified memos that call into question the former FBI director's testimony to Congress.

Attorney General Pam Bondi intervened and eliminated the redactions, dispatching new versions of the memos this week to the House and Senate Judiciary committees, officials told Just the News.

The memos detail evidence and interviews gathered by U.S. Postal Inspection Service agents concerning classified information leaked to The New York Times in October 2016, ahead of the November election in which Republican Donald Trump defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton.

"Based on the most recent available data from the CSA Centre for 2023/24 (April 2023–March 2024), there were approximately 7,371 convictions for child sexual abuse offences in England and Wales. Of these, around 3,863 received non-custodial outcomes (suspended sentences or community sentences). Exact figures for August 2024–August 2025 are not yet published, but the number is likely similar or slightly higher given recent trends."

A U.S Navy sailor was convicted Wednesday of espionage after he sold Navy secrets to a Chinese intelligence officer, federal officials said.

Jinchao Wei, a 25-year-old who also goes by Patrick Wei, was found guilty of six crimes, including conspiracy to commit espionage, espionage, and unlawful export of, and conspiracy to export, technical data related to defense articles in violation of the Arms Export Control Act and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations.

in reply to YoungBlood

He was found not guilty of one count of naturalization fraud.

Prosecutors said Wei used his position as a machinist’s mate on the amphibious assault ship USS Essex at Naval Base San Diego to feed information to a Chinese intelligence officer who recruited Wei on social media in February 2022. He held a U.S. security clearance and had access to sensitive national defense information, including the weapons on the Essex, prosecutors said.

My sense is that Big Tech is increasingly realizing that they've bought into a gigantic fail with LLM generative AI systems, but they don't dare admit it because they realize they could instantly tank the stock market and their own firms. So they just keep playing along as if everything is great, and desperately hope that something will happen to save them before they roll right off the cliff and straight into Hell, dragging the rest of us along too. Though they don't care about that last part.

Data I/O Corp had a little fucky wucky.

sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar…

On August 16, 2025, Data I/O Corporation (the “Company”) experienced a ransomware incident (the “Incident”) on certain of its internal IT systems. Upon discovery, the Company promptly activated its response protocols, took steps to secure its global IT systems and implemented containment measures, including proactively taking certain platforms offline and implementing other mitigation measures. The Company also engaged leading cybersecurity experts to support the IT system recovery and conduct a comprehensive investigation. Based on the findings, the Company will take additional actions as appropriate, including notifying affected individuals and regulatory authorities in compliance with applicable laws.

The Company is working diligently to restore the affected systems. The Incident has temporarily impacted the Company’s operations, including internal/external communications, shipping, receiving, manufacturing production, and various other support functions. While the Company has implemented measures to allow for the restoration of some operational functions, the timeline for a full restoration is not yet known. As the investigation of the Incident is ongoing, the full scope, nature, and impact are also not yet known.

As of the date of this filing, the Incident does not appear to have had a material impact on the Company’s business operations; however, the full scope and impact of this Incident is not yet known and could result in a future determination that the incident either was not or has been material to the Company's financial statements and results of operations. The expected costs related to the Incident, including fees for our cybersecurity experts and other advisors, and costs to restore any impacted systems, are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

Dans cette interview avec Daniel Schneidermann, Rima Hassan revient sur le traitement médiatique de la Freedom Flotilla, la montée de l'islamophobie et des idées d'extrême-droite dans les médias, la censure des soutiens de la Palestine sur la scène médiatique et politique, l'acharnement médiatique dont elle est victime et sur les enjeux de son mandat au Parlement européen.

A New Cold War against China is against the interests of humanity


We note the increasingly aggressive statements and actions being taken by the US government in regard to China. These constitute a threat to world peace and are an obstacle to humanity successfully dealing with extremely serious common issues which confront it such as climate change, control of pandemics, racist discrimination and economic development.

We therefore believe that any New Cold War would run entirely counter to the interests of humanity. Instead we stand in favour of maximum global cooperation in order to tackle the enormous challenges we face as a species.

We therefore call upon the US to step back from this threat of a Cold War and also from other dangerous threats to world peace it is engaged in including: withdrawal from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces agreement; withdrawal from the Paris Climate Change Accords; and its increasing disengagement from UN bodies. The US should also stop pressuring other countries to adopt such dangerous positions.

We support China and the US basing their relations on mutual dialogue and centring on the common issues which unite humanity.

They Shall Not Pass: Our Call against Fascism: The Thirty-Fourth Newsletter (2025)


Tens of millions in China and the USSR gave their lives to defeat fascism during World War II; as imperialist militarisation rises again, No Cold War reiterates a call for peace.
Alexander Alexandrovich Deineka (Soviet Union), Defence of Sevastopol, 1942
Alexander Alexandrovich Deineka (Soviet Union), Defence of Sevastopol, 1942

A walk through the Museum of the War of Chinese People’s Resistance against Japanese Aggression in Beijing makes one despise war and everything about militarism. The museum is not far from the Marco Polo (or Lugou) Bridge, where the Chinese people began their war to liberate their country from the Japanese occupation in the north. The most striking parts of the museum are those that demonstrate the ugly violence of Japanese militarism, such as the Nanjing Massacre (1937–1938); the horrendous biological and chemical warfare and unspeakable human experimentation conducted by Unit 731 in the northeastern city of Harbin (1936–1945); and the prisons for ianfu (‘comfort women’) that the Japanese military established to hold sex slaves for their soldiers.

As you wander through the museum, it becomes clear that millions of Chinese civilians died in what was the longest part of World War II: a war between the Japanese militarists and the Chinese people that lasted from 1937 to 1945. The numbers are stunning: at least twenty million Chinese civilians and soldiers were killed, eighty million people were made refugees, thirty percent of the infrastructure in the Pearl River delta near Canton was destroyed, more than half of Shanghai was demolished, and eighty percent of China’s capital Nanjing was reduced to rubble. The Japanese Army’s Three Alls Policy (burn all, kill all, rob all) was genocidal in every aspect (in 1942, in a village in Hebei province, for instance, the Japanese Army pumped poisonous gas into a tunnel where eight hundred peasants were hiding, killing them all).

Hu Yichuan (China), To the Front!, 1932.

The death toll during World War II continues to provoke debate and discussion. However, there is little dispute that the largest number of dead came from the Soviet Union (27 million – the current population of Australia) and from China (20 million – the current population of Chile). The Soviet numbers come from many sources, including the Extraordinary State Commission (ChGK), which was set up to investigate war crimes in 1942. The first of such tribunals was established in Krasnodar (North Caucasus) after the Red Army recaptured Nalchik from the Nazis on 4 January 1943. This tribunal found thousands of corpses of people killed by poison gas in an anti-tank ditch near the city. Two years earlier, in 1941, the Nazi high command had formulated what was known as the Hunger Plan to divert food from the Soviet Union, resulting in the death of 4.2 million Soviet citizens.

We are dealing with unfathomable numbers – a million killed here, a few thousand there, another hundred thousand elsewhere. What bureau of statistics can stomach this awful ledger of death?
José M. Pons (Spanish Republic), Lina Ódena, 1937.

As we commemorate the eightieth anniversary of the end of this war against fascism and militarism (3 September 1945), the No Cold War collective issues the Santiago Appeal, a plea against war and for peace. We urge you to sign it, share it, and get others to sign it so that – like the Stockholm Appeal of 1950 – we can get millions of people to adopt no pasarán (they shall not pass) as our watchword. You can read it below:

War is the ultimate betrayal of human creativity, life’s worth, and the planet we share.
Eighty years ago, the United States dropped the first atomic bombs, awakening a weapon of unparalleled horror that still threatens us all.
Millions died defeating fascism and militarism; among them were the Soviet and Chinese people who made extraordinary sacrifices and bore the heaviest burdens.

Their courage demands more than memory; it demands action.

We reject the endless cycle of violence fuelled by imperialism and greed.

We demand a future where peace, justice, and shared prosperity prevail – where humanity lives in harmony with nature, protecting the Earth for generations to come.

Disarm now, end militarisation, and build a world where all life can thrive.

So I’ve seen a lot of folks on here singing the praises of Automatic Noodle by @annaleen.

I’m not the slightest bit interested in robots, so I was going to give this a pass. But after reading so much love for the book, I’m going to get it after all.

My local indie bookstore said it’s on backorder, so I guess it’s selling well! Yay! I have my order in for whenever the book arrives.
