This weeks headlines read like this:
U.S. energy officials are reassessing the risk posed by Chinese-made devices that play a critical role in renewable energy infrastructure after unexplained communication equipment was found inside some of them, two people familiar with the matter said.
Power inverters, which are predominantly produced in China, are used throughout the world to connect solar panels and wind turbines to electricity grids. They are also found in batteries, heat pumps and electric vehicle chargers.
However, rogue communication devices not listed in product documents have been found in some Chinese solar power inverters by U.S. experts who strip down equipment hooked up to grids to check for security issues, the two people said.
Over the past nine months, undocumented communication devices, including cellular radios, have also been found in some batteries from multiple Chinese suppliers, one of them said.
The rogue components provide additional, undocumented communication channels that could allow firewalls to be circumvented remotely, with potentially catastrophic consequences, the two people said.
Using the rogue communication devices to skirt firewalls and switch off inverters remotely, or change their settings, could destabilize power grids, damage energy infrastructure, and trigger widespread blackouts, experts said.
Chinese officials acknowledged behind closed doors at a December meeting that their government was responsible for a series of cyberattacks on U.S. infrastructure, according to a Wall Street Journal report based on information from people familiar with the matter.
The FBI said in December that hackers in Beijing infiltrated networks of “multiple” telecommunication companies, gaining access to customer call records and private communications of “a limited number of individuals.” But the targets, the FBI noted in December, were Americans involved in government and politics.
A federal investigation uncovered a massive cyber-espionage campaign by the Chinese government, targeting U.S. telecommunications networks to steal Americans’ information. A top White House official confirmed in December that at least eight U.S. telecom companies had been affected by the hacking spree.
The campaign was believed to have started a year or two ago, The Associated Press reported.
Did you know that county election equipment including e-poll books, routers, and jet packs are connected to these same telecom networks that were hacked?
Please read the entire thread on X shared below. “Routers, apps, USB drives, even electric kettles could be quietly sending your data straight to the Chinese Communist Party.” USB drives, did someone say USB drives? Irons, video games, refrigerators, solar panels, security cameras, phones.

The list of compromised electronic devices is endless. But somehow, in today’s age, our election officials and thick headed republicans still claim our election equipment is secure. It’s EAC certified they claim! Government funded, selected and certified election equipment to select the government? What could possibly be wrong with that?
We highly recommend watching Tucker’s entire interview with Ed Martin. https://rumble.com/v6tdj2f-ed-martin-on-dan-bongino-vs.-doj-and-republicans-in-congress-secretly-plott.html
Here is another thread you need to read on X:
That’s particularly concerning because why would a foreign country need to communicate with solar panels installed in the United States? The finding is raising questions over whether the Chinese regime may be doing this intentionally.
Forget about EMP or targeted attacks on the electric grid. What if the system is already in place, and launching an attack like that were as simple as just pushing a button?
The recent finding is raising some serious concerns, but I’ve been a journalist long enough to remember that similar Chinese backdoors were found in many other key systems and electronics in the United States.

About a year ago, Marco Rubio warned that a Chinese cyberattack would be 100 times worse than the AT&T outages that were rampant last year. How many times did Verizon go down? It was reportedly due to solar flares, cut lines, and knocked over poles. The personal data of 73 million AT&T customers was posted on the dark web.
AT&T, along with Verizon, are the chosen providers for the FirstNet network. FirstNet – the network that the entire nationwide electronic election apparatus is connected to.
The NSA has been concerned about Chinese hackers for some time now, and China’s Salt Typhoon spies continue to infiltrate US internet service providers and telecommunications companies. Speaking on the NatSec Tech podcast recently, former special assistant to the president and cybersecurity coordinator on the US National Security Council, Rob Joyce, likened TP-Link routers to a Trojan Horse and suggested China is pre-positioning for a potentially devastating attack on US infrastructure.
Now might be a good time to remind everyone that our ES&S black box electronic vote counting computers are made with Chinese motherboards and Chinese microchips. The supply chain is compromised from inception.
An 2019 NBC news investigation addressed concerns over ES&S private ownership and compromised supply chain.
And here’s today’s warning from Rick.
We are one year away from the 2026 midterms.
All of our election equipment is compromised.
We the People need to demand hand counted elections under the control of the people of the precinct now. Are you still working in your county? Does your local official or legislator still have their head buried in the sand? Don’t give up now! Time to reengage or turn up the heat.
