An engineering professor at the University of Arkansas has been arrested by the FBI and faces up to 20 years in prison for allegedly hiding funding that he received from the communist Chinese government.
The New York Times reports that “Simon Ang of the University of Arkansas, was arrested on Friday and charged on Monday with wire fraud.”
“He worked for and received funding from Chinese companies and from the Thousand Talents program, which awards grants to scientists to encourage relationships with the Chinese government,” the report notes, adding that “he warned an associate to keep his affiliation with the program quiet.”
The report explains that Ang’s alleged hiding of the funding enabled him to also get US government subsidies, specifically from NASA, to the tune of more than $5 million.
“The complaint charges that Ang had close ties with the Chinese government and Chinese companies, and failed to disclose those ties when required to do so in order to receive grant money from NASA,” a Department of Justice statement reads.
“These materially false representations to NASA and the University of Arkansas resulted in numerous wires to be sent and received that facilitated Ang’s scheme to defraud.” the statement adds.
Suspicions were raised concerning professor Ang after a library employee found an email between Ang and a Chinese researcher, the Arkansas Times reports.
“You can search the Chinese website regarding what the US will do to Thousand Talent Scholars,” Ang reportedly wrote in an email. “Not many people here know I am one of them but if this leaks out, my job here will be in deep troubles.”
The Times article also states that another professor, Dr. Xiao-Jiang Li, formerly of Emory University in Atlanta, pleaded guilty … to a felony charge of filing a false tax return that omitted around $500,000 that he received from the Thousand Talents program.
“He was sentenced to a year of probation and ordered to pay $35,089 in restitution.” the report notes.
The “Thousand Talents Program” has been scrutinised recently, with suspicions that it is being used by the communist state to attract foreign experts from overseas, and steal intellectual property from U.S. institutions.
Another professor, from Harvard University, is also accused of abusing the program, and lying to officials about alleged ties to the Chinese government.
Charles Lieber, head of chemistry and the chemical biology department at Harvard, was arrested at the beginning of the year, with prosecutors accusing him of taking $50,000 a month, as well as a $1.5 million payment to set up a research lab at the Wuhan University of Technology.
Court documents revealed that since 2008, Lieber received more than $15,000,000 in grant funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Department of Defense (DOD).
“These grants require the disclosure of significant foreign financial conflicts of interest, including financial support from foreign governments or foreign entities,” the Department of Justice noted.
“These talent programs seek to lure Chinese overseas talent and foreign experts to bring their knowledge and experience to China and reward individuals for stealing proprietary information,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the District of Massachusetts said in a January statement related to Lieber’s arrest.
May 8, 2020 A Staten Island man convicted of lying to the feds about his plans to engage in violent jihad abroad wants to get out of his Pennsylvania prison to avoid coronavirus - but prosecutors say he's not worthy of early release. Abdel Hameed Shehadeh, 30, wrote to a Brooklyn federal judge in late April that he was a changed man who feared he might die from the disease. "I was a naive, gullible 18-year-old at the time of my indicted actions," he wrote in a handwritten application. "Arrested at 20 years young, I am now 30 years old - 45 weeks away from potential release and COVID-19 is proving to be a dangerous and potentially fatal obstacle." But federal prosecutors noted Friday that only six inmates at the Lewis Run, Pa., jail had tested positive for COVID-19, and that none of those cases were currently "active." They also argued that Shehaded's pulmonary embolism did not put him at higher risk if he were to contract the virus. Click here to view the case on the IPT website
[EDNY] Abdel Hameed Shehadeh, a former Staten Island resident living in Hawaii, has been charged with lying about a failed attempt to join the Taliban in Pakistan. Several weeks after Shehadeh's botched attempt to join the Taliban in Pakistan, he tried to enlist in the U.S. Army at a recruitment station in Times Square. Shehadeh's application was denied when it was discovered that he had concealed his trip to Pakistan. In March 2013, Shehadeh was convicted of making false statements in a matter involving international terrorism. In April 2020, Shehadeh wrote to a Brooklyn federal judge that he was a changed man who feared he might die from a COVID-19 infection. But federal prosecutors in a memorandum filed on May 8, 2020, noted that only six inmates at the Lewis Run, Pa., jail had tested positive for COVID-19, and that none of those cases were currently "active." They also argued that Shehaded's pulmonary embolism did not put him at higher risk if he were to contract the virus.
A federal judge refused Thursday to release an Ypsilanti man arrested by the FBI's counter-terrorism team who argued he was at high risk of getting COVID-19. U.S. District Judge Victoria Roberts rejected the request from Yousef Ramadan, 31, after a hearing Wednesday that included evidence Ramadan lied about health issues that would leave him susceptible to contracting the virus. Ramadan was removed from a Royal Jordanian Airlines flight in August 2017 at Detroit Metropolitan Airport after investigators searched his checked baggage and found body armor, ammunition pouches, rifle scopes, knives and other paramilitary equipment.
Yousef Ramadan from Ypsilanti, MI, faced firearms charges following his removal from a Royal Jordanian Airlines flight in August 2017 at Detroit Metropolitan Airport after investigators found body armor, ammunition pouches, rifle scopes, knives and other paramilitary equipment in his checked baggage. Ramadan, his wife and four children were flying on one-way tickets to Jordan. Investigators searched the electronic storage devices and found videos of Ramadan shooting pistols and rifles, including a sniper rifle. They also found photos and videos of pipe bombs and propaganda videos and photos related to the Islamic State, including videos of fighters wearing black masks similar to those found in Ramadan's luggage, according to court records. On May 7, 2020, a federal judge refused to release Ramadan who argued he was at high risk of getting COVID-19. U.S. District Judge Victoria Roberts rejected the request from Ramadan after a hearing that included evidence Ramadan lied about health issues that would leave him susceptible to contracting the virus.

May 10, 2020. "OBAMAGATE!"
That's when President Donald J. Trump tweeted the one word, all-caps, one exclamation mark, that changes everything. A day earlier, the president had also tweeted Jesse Watters' video, titled ‘Obamagate’ – the scandal at the epicenter of American politics that has had many names: “Russiagate”, the “Russia Hoax”, “Spygate”, but it’s only fitting that it should end with its true name.
This was never about the Russians and the spies were cogs in a machine who were following orders.
One man, not some nebulous organization or unaccountable bureaucracy, pushed the lever and decided to use the machinery of law enforcement and intelligence agencies to suppress the political opposition.
Another Democrat in a White House long ago once put up a sign on his desk that said, "the buck stops here." Or, as Lisa Page, formerly of the FBI, texted much more recently, “potus wants to know everything we’re doing." The POTUS in question wasn’t Truman anymore: it was Barack Obama. And the gang that couldn’t frame straight was prepping FBI ex-boss Comey to brief Obama on the plot.
In an address to the real deep state, the 3,000 members of the Obama Alumni Association, the titular head of the government in exile that has been working its manicured fingernails off to subvert, undermine, and betray the actual President of the United States lectured on the rule of law.
"There is no precedent that anybody can find for someone who has been charged with perjury just getting off scot-free. That’s the kind of stuff where you begin to get worried that basic — not just institutional norms — but our basic understanding of rule of law is at risk," Barry scolded.
General Flynn wasn’t charged with perjury. Maybe Page and Strzok should have spent more time helping Comey brief the C student in the Oval Office and less time carrying on. But it’s Obama who might want to spend time reviewing the penalties for perjury or making false statements to the FBI.
Because Obamagate is coming back home to where the buck stops. And the buck stops with Barry.
That’s the message that President Trump has sent by tweeting, “OBAMAGATE”, followed by videos, graphics, and texts laying out the case against, not just the “scum” who carried out the coup, but against their boss who watched, oversaw, and was certain that he would get away with his worst crime yet.
Investigations start by exposing, breaking down and then flipping the stooges, before working their way up the ladder to the bosses who gave the orders, and then the man at the top. The investigation formerly known as Spygate has been burning its way through the titular spies who did the dirty work.
The Steele Dossier, the two-legged stool on whose shaky pretext President Trump and his allies were targeted, was exposed by tracing it up the ladder to the Clinton campaign, and then back through the layers of scam FISA evidence, media surrogates, and incestuous Fusion GPS/FBI/DOJ relationships.
But Hillary Clinton wasn’t an elected official. She had no official power to give anyone any orders.
Only one man had the authority to weaponize every intelligence agency by directly controlling their heads and cabinet members and as Obamagate burns up, it has only one possible stopping point.
Page and Strzok’s communications opened the gateway upward, McCabe and Steele widened it,
“NEW FBI TEXTS ARE BOMBSHELLS!” President Trump had tweeted after the Strzok/Page texts.
Steele has since testified that he not only knew that Hillary Clinton was in the loop, but that National Security Advisor Susan Rice had been briefed. Obamagate had linked together the figures empowered to conduct surveillance of political opponents with political figures in the White House. That’s how covert spying operations like Watergate work. The DOJ is meant to serve as a buffer against abuses like these.
The public decision to bring down the hammer on General Flynn was not made by acting Attorney General Sally Yates, who had been left out of the loop, and had to be told about it by Obama. While unnamed "Obama advisers" were being briefed by the FBI about the Flynn case, the Attorney General wasn't. That's a fundamental reversal of how the justice system is supposed to work.
When the AG hears about a case against an opposition figure from POTUS, that’s not a DOJ case, that’s a White House case. The Obama administration had spent years, at the least, eavesdropping on domestic political opponents, including members of Congress, possibly even fellow Democrats, under the guise that they had any contacts with foreign governments. The last thing the guys who had been using the NSA as their private Watergate wanted was a National Security Adviser who might expose them.
So, they decided to do to Flynn what they had only played at doing to other political opponents.
As I wrote three years ago, “Once Obama and his allies launched their domestic surveillance operation, they crossed the Rubicon. And there was no way back. They had to destroy President Trump or risk going to jail. The more crimes they committed by spying on the opposition, the more urgently they needed to bring down Trump. The consequences of each crime that they had committed spurred them on to commit worse crimes to save themselves from going to jail.”
And I predicted that the Democrats will "finally get their Watergate. Except the star won’t be Trump, it will be Obama."
The great shadowy investigation that has consumed so many years of our national politics has come apart. Mueller delivered nothing, Flynn has been exonerated, and Schiff has nothing to show for it. All the claims made about collusion have come apart and nothing remains to justify the whole thing.
It’s time that the investigators become the investigated.
That’s the message that President Trump’s Obamagate tweets, his retweet of the Jesse Waters video laying out the case against Obama, is sending to those who have perpetrated this plot against America.
The tables are turning. And the question now becomes, will middle rank ex-feds be willing to go to jail to protect their bosses, will those bosses be willing to go to jail to protect cabinet members, and will they all be willing to go to jail to protect Barry? If Biden loses, so does the Obama Alumni Association.
And then the OAA boys and girls go the way of the Clinton Foundation and the Carter Home for Wayward Marxists with nothing for them except a tough choice between a cell and naming names.
Obama knows it’s his last shot. His network bought him these past years of undermining Trump. But all of it’s worthless if Biden loses, taking his prestige with him, and opening him up to an investigation.
An independent prosecutor can take years to do his job, but once appointed, grind slowly, and small.
The Obama coup has run all these years, but it’s reached the end of the line. The investigations are turning back on their instigator as Spygate and its minions gives way to Obamagate. The new phase will reach beyond the henchmen to the political operatives who were giving the orders. And to their boss.
Beyond Spygate lie the Spymasters and beyond them, the Master of the Spymasters.
Obama operatives committed treason for political gain. Only one man had the power to command them, to reward them, and to bring together the forces that spied on men, women, and on a nation.
Obamagate is not just the reckoning the nation needs: it’s the reckoning that the rule of law deserves.

Dr. Anthony Fauci: ‘We Will Have Coronavirus In The Fall’
In the wake of CDC director Dr. Robert Redfield’s comments that a second wave of the coronavirus in the fall and winter could be even more challenging than the first, President Trump downplayed the possibility. But Dr. Anthony Fauci said “We will have coronavirus in the fall: I am convinced of that.”
So I want to talk to you about this issue of what’s going around the country. I called it in the beginning here a quarantine of our constitutional rights. That is actually happening right now. Now, we can have a debate about the reality of this coronavirus pandemic that’s going around. As you know, I’ve been questioning some of the numbers and the harshness of the mortality rate. I do not believe it is as strong as what we’re being told, but there’s a lot of fear and a lot of hype surrounding this thing. We can go into that at a later time. But, right now, one thing that is absolutely without question is the issue of our rights as American citizens and whether or not those rights, whether or not the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are being quarantined along with the rest of the population.

WASHINGTON —The U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) has filed a Statement of Interest in a lawsuit against the City of Greenville, Mississippi, expressing support for the allowance of drive-in church services in the midst of the coronavirus crisis and opining that the City appeared to “target religious conduct.”
“[E]ven in times of emergency, when reasonable and temporary restrictions are placed on rights, the First Amendment and federal statutory law prohibit discrimination against religious institutions and religious believers. Thus, government may not impose special restrictions on religious activity that do not also apply to similar nonreligious activity,” Attorney General William Barr also said in a statement on Tuesday.
“The United States Department of Justice will continue to ensure that religious freedom remains protected if any state or local government, in their response to COVID-19, singles out, targets, or discriminates against any house of worship for special restrictions.”
In its Statement of Interest filed with the court, the DOJ noted that the “City has the burden to demonstrate that prohibiting the small church here from holding the drive-in services at issue here — services where attendees are required to remain in their cars in the church parking lot at all times with their windows rolled up and spaced consistent with CDC guidelines — is the least restrictive means of furthering a compelling interest.”
It does not believe Greenville can meet that burden, outlining that the City prevents churches from holding services even if abiding by CDC and state guidelines.
“[I]t is unclear why prohibiting these services is the least restrictive means of protecting public health, especially if, as alleged in the complaint, the city allows other conduct that would appear to pose an equal — if not greater — risks,” the DOJ said.
It cited, for example, that the City of Greensville “appears to permit citizens to sit in a ‘car at a drive-in restaurant with [their] windows rolled down,’ but not ‘at a drive-in church service with [their] windows rolled up.'”
“The facts alleged in the complaint strongly suggest that the city’s actions target religious conduct,” the department concluded. “If proven, these facts establish a free exercise violation unless the city demonstrates that its actions are neutral and apply generally to nonreligious and religious institutions or satisfies the demanding strict scrutiny standard.”
As previously reported, on April 8, police officers in Greenville ticketed more than 20 members of Temple Baptist Church as they tuned in to a radio frequency to listen to their pastor, Arthur Scott. The following evening, members of King James Baptist Church were told by police to leave under threat of citation as their pastor preached in the parking lot.
The City of Greenville had announced via a press release on March 7 that Mayor Errick Simmons and City Council had issued two new executive orders, one of which pertains to church services.
It cited a statement from the Mississippi Department of Health (DOH) as its motivation.
“Because of recent COVID-19 cases specifically linked to church gatherings, it is vital that Mississippians not attend in-person church services at any church or other type of facility. Services, weddings, and funerals are leading to greater COVID-19 transmission,” the DOH said.
However, the City went even further in its executive order, including drive-in services in its prohibition and recommending that residents do church online or over the phone.
“The City of Greenville put in place an executive order that orders all church buildings closed for in person and drive-in church services, until the State of Mississippi’s Shelter In Place Executive Order No. 1466 is lifted by Governor Tate Reeves,” the press release states.
“Churches are strongly encouraged to hold services via Facebook Live, Zoom, Free Conference Call, and any and all other social media, streaming, and telephonic platforms.”
An apparent email from the City also lists churches as “nonessential businesses,” along with dance halls, taverns, movie theaters and tattoo parlors.
On Monday, the religious liberties group Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) filed suit against the City of Greenville on behalf of Temple Baptist Church, arguing that the prohibition on drive-in services is unreasonable, especially since attendees are required to stay in their cars and the door to the church is locked so that none can even use the restroom.
“[T]he City crafted its church-closure order in direct defiance of the Governor’s Executive Orders 1463 and 1466, which classify churches as “Essential Businesses and Operations” and allow them to remain open to offer religious services like those Temple Baptist seeks to offer here. Simply put, the City went out of its way—to the point of contradicting state law — to shut down Temple Baptist’s small ‘drive-in’ church services. This is unconstitutional,” the legal challenge stated.
However, Greenville Mayor Erick Simmons also held a press conference on Monday, asserting that the “incidents have been taken out of context.”
“This is not a time to play politics. This is not a time to inflame unprecedented and challenging times with unnecessary attacks and false narratives,” he stated.
Simmons said that those who were cited will not be required to pay and called upon Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves to provide official guidance on the matter.

Where did Zoobia Shahnaz get her understanding of Islam? Is her mosque being investigated? Why not?
“Long Island Woman Sentenced to 13 Years’ Imprisonment for Providing Material Support to ISIS,” Justice Department, March 13, 2020:
Earlier today, in federal court in Central Islip, Zoobia Shahnaz was sentenced to 13 years’ imprisonment by United States District Judge Joanna Seybert for providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization, specifically more than $150,000 to the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), and attempting to travel to Syria to join ISIS. Shahnaz pleaded guilty in November 2018….
As set forth in court filings and facts presented at the sentencing hearing, between March 2017 and July 2017, Shahnaz defrauded numerous financial institutions to obtain money for ISIS, including a loan for approximately $22,500. Shahnaz also fraudulently obtained more than a dozen credit cards and used them to purchase approximately $62,000 in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies online. Shahnaz then made multiple wire transfers totaling more than $150,000 to individuals and entities in Pakistan, China and Turkey that were fronts for ISIS.
Shahnaz accessed ISIS violent jihad-related websites and message boards, and social media and messaging pages of known ISIS recruiters, facilitators and financiers. She also performed numerous internet searches for information that would facilitate her entry into Syria. Court-authorized search warrants executed at Shahnaz’s residence on Long Island resulted in the seizure of terrorist and jihad-related propaganda, including a photograph of a suicide belt of explosives and a night vision scope.
On July 31, 2017, Shahnaz was arrested at John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens, New York, while attempting to board a flight with a layover in Istanbul, Turkey – a common point of entry for individuals travelling from western countries to join ISIS in Syria….
DEFENSE DEPARTMENT LINGUIST ACCUSED OF PASSING CLASSIFIED INFORMATION ABOUT DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE COMPUTER SYSTEMS & U.S. INTELLIGENCE ASSETS TO HIZBALLAH

Was Mariam Taha Thompson vetted properly when she was hired? Almost certainly not. To have probed her sentiments regarding jihad would have been “Islamophobic.” What’s more, the U.S. government and military are still largely committed to the idea that Islam is a religion peace that has nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism. This soothing fantasy would have guided even the way suspicions of espionage are handled. It’s a wonder that she has been charged at all.
“DOD linguist charged with giving classified info to Lebanese national with ties to Hezbollah: DOJ,” by Bradford Betz, Fox News, March 4, 2020:
A linguist working for the Department of Defense was arrested last week on charges of giving top-secret information, including details on American intelligence assets, to a Lebanese national with ties to Hezbollah, a group designated by the U.S. State Department as a terrorist organization.
Mariam Taha Thompson, 61, who had top-secret government security clearance, was arrested Thursday on the espionage-related allegation at an unidentified U.S. military facility overseas, the Justice Department announced Wednesday.
Federal prosecutors accused Thompson, formerly of Rochester, Minn., of turning over information that placed intelligence assets and American military personnel in danger.
Prosecutors said that during a six-week period starting in late December, when U.S. airstrikes targeted Iranian-backed forces in Iraq, Thompson repeatedly accessed dozens of files, including the names of human assets, their pictures and information detailing what these sources provided the U.S. government.
Prosecutors said that when officials searched her living quarters, they found a handwritten note in Arabic under her mattress with information about DOD computer systems and warning of a DOD target.
Prosecutors said she had given the information in the note to a co-conspirator who worked for the Lebanese government and “has apparent connections” to Hezbollah….

Long overdue and commonsensical.
“Trump administration launches new unit to strip US citizenship from foreign-born terrorists, criminals,” by Adam Shaw, Fox News, February 26, 2020:
The Trump administration is establishing a new section within the Justice Department to deal with the process of removing citizenship from foreign-born individuals who fraudulently obtained citizenship by failing to disclose past convictions for serious crimes — including terrorism and war crimes.
The section, which will be within the DOJ’s Office of Immigration Litigation, will be dedicated to denaturalizing those who had failed to disclose they had been involved in criminal activity on their N-400 form for naturalization. It requires the government to show that citizenship was obtained illegally or “procured by concealment of a material fact or by willful misrepresentation.”
That form includes questions asking whether an applicant has been involved in genocide and torture among other serious crimes, if they have ever been part of a terrorist or totalitarian organization, if they had been associated with the Nazi government in Germany, and if they have been charged or convicted with a crime or served prison time. Targets for denaturalization are those who have made material breaches of those questions.
“When a terrorist or sex offender becomes a U.S. citizen under false pretenses, it is an affront to our system — and it is especially offensive to those who fall victim to these criminals,” Assistant Attorney General Jody Hunt said. “The new Denaturalization Section will further the Department’s efforts to pursue those who unlawfully obtained citizenship status and ensure that they are held accountable for their fraudulent conduct.”…
Over 1,100 former Justice Department officials are calling for Attorney General William Barr to resign in the wake of the DOJ’s decision to ask for a shorter prison sentence for Trump confidante Roger Stone.
“Barr’s actions in doing the President’s personal bidding unfortunately speak louder than his words,” the group of ex-officials wrote in a letter posted on Medium.
“Those actions, and the damage they have done to the Department of Justice’s reputation for integrity and the rule of law, require Mr. Barr to resign.”
“Such behavior is a grave threat to the fair administration of justice,” they write. “A person should not be given special treatment in a criminal prosecution because they are a close political ally of the President.”
Stone, 67, was recommended a 7-9 prison sentence by Mueller prosecutors last week over a process crime — more jail time than what rapists and murderers receive on average.
The letter goes on to call on other bureaucrats within Washington to follow the prosecutors’ “heroic example.”
“Be prepared to report future abuses to the Inspector General, the Office of Professional Responsibility, and Congress; to refuse to carry out directives that are inconsistent with their oaths of office; to withdraw from cases that involve such directives or other misconduct; and, if necessary, to resign and report publicly… to the American people the reasons for their resignation,” the statement reads.
Former Obama Attorney General Eric Holder – the first AG in U.S. history to be held in criminal and civil contempt of Congress – also called on the establishment to defy Trump on Sunday.
To the men and women of DOJ/FBI: do NOT resign, stay strong, in all your actions be true to the oath you have sworn, report wrongdoing. The era of Trump and Barr will pass-their slander, insults and corrupt acts will end. We – the American people – respect & believe in you.
