At least 8 locations in Cuba may be operating as Chinese espionage bases.

New evidence reveals that China has modernized and expanded several signal interception stations in Cuba.

The close collaboration between Cuba and the People’s Republic of China in intelligence matters has reignited security alarms in Washington. In 2023, U.S. officials publicly confirmed that Beijing was leveraging espionage facilities on the Caribbean island, less than 100 miles from Florida.

Cuba, once host to the massive Soviet Lourdes intelligence center during the Cold War, has become an advanced listening post for China.

New evidence — including high-resolution satellite imagery — shows that China has modernized and expanded several signals intelligence (SIGINT) stations in Cuba, positioning them to monitor sensitive U.S. military communications in its own backyard. This foreign penetration presents a direct and unprecedented strategic challenge not seen since the Missile Crisis.

Classification of Chinese espionage sites in Cuba.

Based on open-source intelligence (OSINT), classified intelligence reports, and analysis from centers such as CSIS, there is confirmed or highly likely presence of at least eight sites of interest used or prepared for signals intelligence (SIGINT) by China or with support from the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). Below are the sites classified according to the level of verification:

Note: These classifications are based on CSIS documentation (2024), Department of Defense reports, and public satellite observations.

Recruitment mechanisms: silent infiltration.

China has for decades deployed sophisticated recruitment techniques to place agents within the U.S. government and military. Cases such as Glenn Duffie Shriver, recruited while studying in China to apply to the CIA; or former military intelligence officer Ron Hansen, sentenced in 2019 for attempting to pass classified information to the Chinese government, reveal a long-term, systemic strategy.

The story also includes Larry Wu-Tai Chin, a CIA analyst recruited by China in the 1950s who transmitted secrets for nearly 30 years. More recently, the case of Ambassador Víctor Manuel Rocha, infiltrated for decades by Cuban intelligence, raises serious questions about Sino-Cuban collaboration capabilities in HUMINT (human intelligence).

Internal and external surveillance from Cuba.

The Cuban regime ensures its internal survival, shielded by Chinese technology that allows it to anticipate dissent, monitor the population, and suppress protests before they escalate.

China secures an advanced technical espionage node against the U.S., without deploying visible military infrastructure, and with privileged access to communications, satellites, and bases in the southern U.S.

China’s presence in Cuba should be understood as part of a strategic negotiation: Beijing protects the Cuban regime from within through technology, surveillance, and repression in exchange for operational freedom to spy from the island. This dual-purpose makes Cuba the closest example of the «21st-century authoritarian alliance.»

Technological platforms used by the PRC and PLA.

The facilities in Bejucal, Calabazar, and El Salao show the use of CDAAs (circularly disposed antenna arrays) and parabolic antenna systems for signal interception. Bejucal, in particular, was expanded with a new CDAA in 2024.

These platforms allow high-frequency signal triangulation, missile launch tracking, and monitoring of radar networks and military communications.

Companies like Huawei and ZTE have been involved in Cuba’s telecommunications infrastructure, raising credible suspicions that these civilian platforms could enable interception or cyber-intelligence activities.

This list details the main communications facilities linked to Chinese companies (Huawei, ZTE, CEIEC) in Cuba, with potential applications in electronic intelligence, strategic surveillance, and C4ISR support.

Note: Sources include CSIS, leaked technical reports, ETECSA bidding contracts, and OSINT analysis of networks and BTS towers. Most of these assets are directly or indirectly connected to network infrastructure controlled by Chinese entities.

Technical observation: These cameras are connected to Huawei telecommunications networks, allowing centralized control from command centers linked to the Ministry of the Interior (MININT).

While officially justified as “public safety” tools, their real-time facial and behavioral analysis capabilities raise concerns over their dual-use as civil surveillance infrastructure and C4ISR support assets under foreign oversight.

Their proximity to strategic nodes (such as Bejucal, Calabazar, or the U.S. Embassy) makes them potential real-time visual intelligence platforms, complementing the Chinese SIGINT capabilities already identified on Cuban territory.

Policy recommendations for the U.S.

  • Strengthen military and diplomatic cryptography, including satellite communications and critical data links.
  • Deploy technical and cyber counterintelligence platforms to interfere with or deceive Chinese SIGINT systems in Cuba.
  • Engage in active diplomacy with Caribbean and Hispanic america countries to prevent the expansion of Chinese bases or similar collaborations.
  • Expand FBI and Department of Defense counterintelligence programs, including internal awareness campaigns.

Black Lives Matter Activist in Boston Pleads Guilty to Federal Fraud Charges – Scammed Donors to Fund Her Lifestyle

Screencap of YouTube video.

A Black Lives Matter activist in Boston named Monica Cannon-Grant pleaded guilty to federal charges this week, admitting that she scammed donors and used their money to fund her own lavish lifestyle.

Cannon-Grant was previously held up as an admired figure. The city of Boston named her the Bostonian of the year at one point for her ‘social justice activism’ and she was even recognized by the Boston Celtics basketball team for her efforts.

She is now facing a minimum of two years in prison.

The New York Post reports:

BLM-linked activist admits conning donors to fund her lavish lifestyle

A once-celebrated Boston social activist has pleaded guilty to defrauding donors — including Black Lives Matter — out of thousands of dollars that she used as a personal piggy bank.

Monica Cannon-Grant, 44, pleaded guilty Monday to 18 counts of fraud-related crimes that she committed with her late husband while operating their Violence in Boston (VIB) activists group, according to the US Attorney’s Office in Massachusetts.

The activist scammed money — including $3,000 from a BLM group — while claiming it was to help feed children and run protests like one in 2020 over the murder of George Floyd and police violence.

Cannon-Grant also conned her way into getting $100,000 in federal pandemic-related unemployment benefits — which she used to pay off her personal auto loan and car insurance policy.

But she has now confessed to transferring funds to personal bank accounts to pay for rent, shopping sprees, delivery meals, visits to a nail salon — and even a summer vacation to Maryland.

Just amazing.

Here’s a local video report:

She should pay back every penny.

Keith Olbermann Backpedals Furiously With Apology for Threatening CNN’s Scott Jennings – Jennings Responds (VIDEO)

As the Gateway Pundit reported yesterday, former MSNBC host and generally unhinged leftist Keith Olbermann, appeared to threaten CNN’s conservative pundit Scott Jennings on Twitter saying, ‘You’re next motherf**ker.’

Well, Olbermann may have gotten a phone call or a visit from the FBI because today he walked back those comments with a full-throated apology.

RedState has an update:

To quickly recap, Scott Jennings, a Salem Media Network radio host and conservative CNN political commentator, reacted to breaking news on Monday that Kimmel had been reinstated by tweeting, “So basically his employer suspended him for being an insensitive pr**k, and we don’t live in an authoritarian regime? Got it.”

This enraged Olbermann, who proceeded to tweet what many, including Jennings, perceived to be a threat. “You’re next, motherf**ker. But keep mugging to the camera.” Jennings tagged Patel and included a screengrab of the tweets in response.

Though the FBI hasn’t commented as to whether an investigation was launched, Olbermann ostensibly appears to have thought twice about what he tweeted and deleted, apologizing profusely in tweets posted on Tuesday and claiming what he wrote was “misinterpreted”:

See Olbermann’s tweet below:

Scott Jennings, always a class act, offered this hilarious response:

Keith Olbermann really needs help. The guy is just so out of control.

Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson and roommate Lance Twiggs

Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson lived with his transgender partner – a male-to-female trans named Lance “Luna” Twiggs.

The FBI used Robinson’s texts with his transgender partner to solidify that Robinson was the assassin. Lance Twiggs has not been charged with any crime; however, federal authorities are still investigating.

Last week, Utah authorities released the text exchange between Tyler Robinson and his transgender lover, Lance Twiggs, sent shortly after Kirk’s assassination.

Utah County District Attorney Jeff Gray announced seven charges against Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson. They will also be seeking the death penalty.

Robinson was charged with:

– Count 1: Aggravated murder (capital offense)
– Count 2: Felony reckless discharge of a firearm causing bodily injury
– Count 3: Felony obstruction of justice for hiding the firearm
– Count 4: Felony obstruction of justice for discarding the clothing he wore during the shooting
– Count 5: Witness tampering for asking roommate to delete incriminating messages
– Count 6: Witness temperating for demanding trans roommate stay silent, and not speak to police
– Count 7: Commission of a violent offense in the presence of a child

Jeff Gray released the chilling texts between Tyler Robinson and his “love” Lance Twiggs.

Read the text exchange here:

Lance Twiggs was reportedly cooperating with the FBI, however, according to the Daily Mail he has seemingly vanished.

“If [Lance Twiggs] ever comes back, it will be in a body bag,” a neighbor said to the Daily Mail. “That’s not a threat – I’m just saying that there are so many people who want a piece of him he’d be mad to show his face in public again. This was a generational event.”

The Daily Mail reported:

The Trans boyfriend of Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin has fled their former lovenest – and locals tell the Daily Mail they never want to see him again.

Lance Twiggs, 22, was led away for questioning when police swooped on the smart three-bed condo he shared with accused gunman Tyler Robinson, 22.

Shaken neighbors say the part time plumber has not been back to the $320,000 property in St. George, Utah – one declaring: ‘Good riddance. I never want to see either of them again.’

His beaten-up Infinity compact is still parked in his space with his work gear tossed across the back seat and a sandwich wrapper and a drink on the front passenger seat.

Upstairs lights have been left on for more than a week and notes and Amazon packages are piling up outside the home owned by Twiggs’s devout Mormon family.
