• Smart doorbells and cameras bring a great sense of security to your home, especially when you’re away, but even a thought that someone could be spying on you through the same surveillance system would shiver up your spine. Following several recent reports of hackers gaining access to people’s internet-connected Ring doorbell and security cameras, Amazon yesterday announced to make two-factor authentication security feature mandatory for all Ring users. Until now, enabling the two-factor authentication in Ring devices was optional, which definitely would have prevented most Ring hacks, but of course, many never bothered to enable it.
• The Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has begun moving forward with its start-up process, just days after the facility’s operator received its license.

• Carlos Ghosn, a Brazilian-born French businessman of Lebanese origin and the former Nissan CEO, has recently made headlines with his organised escape from Japan where he is facing charges of financial misconduct. Now, the French authorities have also stepped up their earlier investigation into the businessman’s alleged wrongdoings.

• In Stockholm, you can’t just board a bus and pay by cash or card, you need to have bought an electronic smart-card pass beforehand. On the airport coaches you only get the cheaper fare if you’ve booked via an app before you travel. You can still pay on board, but only by card with the driver basically buying the ticket online for you. Suppose you arrived at a Swedish airport without a smart phone- or one with no room for anymore apps. Or a phone whose battery was low or had run out. You’d be at a considerable disadvantage. And if you didn’t bring a debit or credit card, or lost them during your travels, you’d find things extremely tricky.
• A London coroner’s office has stated that former “Love Island” host Caroline Flack’s cause of death was a suicide by hanging. She was 40 years old. The TV presenter was found unresponsive in her London home Saturday.
• [Red Pill] All of this is so simple. Correct me if I’m wrong, I’m new to all this as of today. There is a global operation happening behind the scenes involving alphabet agencies of many foreign countries and our own to bring down Soros and his lacKeys. In order for success, they have to win the information war first. People need to understand that Soros has purchased the entire democrat party, and undermined our entire political system. Without the people on their side, its useless. The public has the power, which is why the dems are running such a brutal information warfare campaign to unite people on their side. This must be won by us so the real efforts and future consequences won’t be written off as a sham or illegitimate. Those of us impatient are the ones who do not understand this. Q talKs in code to avoid onli ne surveillance, and to avoid all the AI scrapers that collect, document, and aggregate information on the internet among various other things. Clever. Breadcrumbs are not leaKs, and no violation of disclosing classified information happens this way. The real question is the mention of Project LooKing Glass, if it worKed, and who has the tech. That is the real war behind the scenes. There is legitimately some 40 chess happening above any of our heads. Am I correct in saying the question we are waiting to be asKed is “Who is Q?”. If 1 can understand this in a few hours of first hearing of Q and reading, anyone can. #GodWins God bless.
• Former Democratic presidential contender Andrew Yang is joining CNN as a political commentator. Yang, an entrepreneur who mounted a surprisingly robust White House bid despite having no political experience, ended his campaign last week on the night of the New Hampshire primary election after finishing a disappointing eighth.
• California Rep. Dana Rohrabacher’s recent three-hour meeting with WikiLeaks head Julian Assange as reported earlier this week by The Hill may prove interesting in light of the allegations of several former high-ranking U.S. intelligence analysts that the Democratic National Committee was not hacked by the Russians or anyone else prior to last fall’s presidential election. Mr. Rohrabacher said little after the meeting other than that Mr. Assange repeated his denial that the materials he obtained and made public did not come from the Russians, but claimed he had more information about what actually happened that he intended to share with President Trump.

• The UK government unveils its points-based system for migrants wishing to come to live and work in the UK, putting an end to open door EU immigration for good, British firms who overdosed on unskilled, cheap labor now need to face up to a new reality.

• Cracking global supply chains are fast emerging at major Chinese ports with thousands of containers of frozen meat piling up with nowhere to go.

• When a Chinese government mass detention campaign engulfed Memtimin Emer’s native Xinjiang region three years ago, the elderly Uighur imam was swept up and locked away, along with three of his sons. Now, a leaked database exposes in extraordinary detail the main reasons for the detentions of Emer, his three sons, and hundreds of others in their neighborhood: Their religion and their family ties. The database profiles the internment of 311 individuals with relatives abroad in Karakax County, and lists information on more than 2,000 of their relatives, neighbors and friends. Each entry includes the detainee’s name, address, national identity number, detention date and location, along with a dossier on their family, religious and community background, the reason for detention, and a decision on whether to release them. Taken as a whole, the database offers the fullest view yet into how Chinese officials decided who to put into and let out of detention camps, as part of a crackdown that has locked away more than a million ethnic minorities, most of them Muslims.
