Yesterday we reported about an alleged whistleblower with the U.S. CDC who is claiming that there have been at least 45,000 deaths reported within 3 days of receiving the injections, and that this information is being suppressed.

The U.S. Is Continuing Its Campaign Against HuaweiHuawei at the Mobile World Congress, 2015. (Kārlis Dambrāns, https://flic.kr/p/qx46pM; CC BY 2.0, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/) Huawei has not dominated recent headlines nearly as much as it did under the Trump White House.

On the contrary: Huawei still sits on lists of foreign technology companies whose equipment and services pose a national security threat to the United States—and the Biden administration has continued the U.S. campaign against the Chinese technology firm.

The answer may remain unknown or at least full of mystery unless there is a direct warfare engagement involving a T-14 Armata and upgraded M1 Abrams tank, a serious development likely not wished for by anyone.
