War Dept. Targets Foreign Research Ties at 30 Schools
VIDEO
By Jim Mishler | Monday, 17 August 2026 07:21 PM EDT
The Department of War issued formal notifications Monday to 30 domestic academic institutions, directing them to review their academic, financial, and research ties with foreign entities of concern.
The department did not identify which universities received the notifications.
"The Department of War has zero tolerance for academic partnerships that compromise our national security," said Emil Michael, Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering.
The notices address ties to entities listed under Section 1286 of the fiscal year 2019 National Defense Authorization Act, along with organizations tied to rebranded Confucius Institutes.
The Office of the Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering issued the notifications to guard federally funded research against unauthorized technology transfer, intellectual property theft, and foreign exploitation.
Notified universities must audit all identified foreign collaborations, determine whether sensitive or export-controlled research was exposed, and adopt mitigation plans, including ending problematic partnerships.
Institutions have been given just two weeks to report their findings to the department.
"Universities are critical partners in executing a wide range of Department of War research programs, and the Department must therefore ensure that our research investments are well protected from foreign exploitation," said Dr. Joseph Jewell, Assistant Secretary of War for Science and Technology.
The department is coordinating the effort with the House and Senate Armed Services committees, the House and Senate Appropriations committees, and the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party.

A Navy guided-missile destroyer sailing in the tension-filled South China Sea was dead in the water for four days after a system failure, according to the Navy’s 7th Fleet.
The destroyer USS Benfold suffered an electrical blackout and was immobile in the waterway and eventually towed to Subic Bay, Philippines, Cmdr. Matthew Comer, a spokesman for the Navy’s 7th Fleet, said in a statement.
Cmdr. Comer said the incident took place last month and the destroyer was supported by another Navy warship sailing with the aircraft carrier strike group led by the carrier USS George Washington.
The ships were in the sea as part of a visit to Vietnam along with routine operations in the contested waterway.
China is claiming 90% of the South China Sea as its sovereign maritime territory, a claim rejected by the United States and its allies in the region, including the Philippines.
“On July 24, 2026, while conducting routine operations in the Indo-Pacific, Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Benfold (DDG 65) reported an engineering casualty involving its generators, causing a loss of power,” Cmdr. Comer said.
“There were no injuries to the crew, who demonstrated resilience, grit, professionalism and unwavering steadiness in their response,” he said.
Word of the stricken warship comes amid disputed reports of low morale caused by the lengthy deployment of the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier in the Middle East.

China Used Sex, Donations, Planted Interns to Influence US Political System: Declassified Docs

WASHINGTON— Nearly 150 pages of newly declassified FBI documents paint the clearest picture yet of the relationship between a suspected Chinese Communist Party (CCP) spy and a U.S. congressman, including sexual seduction, illicit campaign donations, and the placement of interns used to influence American politics.
Former Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), who resigned from his role in April after sexual allegations involving a former staffer surfaced, is the focus of the files released by the White House Government Transparency Task Force on Aug. 17.
New details outline his dealings with suspected spy Christine Fang, who went by Fang Fang, including admissions from Swalwell that he had a sexual relationship with her before he was elected to Congress. The Epoch Times reached out to Swalwell for comment but did not receive a response by publication time.

Nearly 150 Drone Breaches: Analysts Warn Defence Response Too Slow After Latest Base Incursion
‘Australia desperately needs to invest in counter-drone defences for our key military bases,’ warns defence analyst Michael Shoebridge.

The drones may be small, but the security question they raise is not.
Australia recorded 147 drone-related breaches involving military facilities in 2024-25, prompting security experts to warn that repeated incursions could provide opportunities for foreign intelligence gathering.
Concerns emerged again following reports that drones repeatedly breached the restricted airspace of RAAF Base Williamtown in New South Wales (NSW) over three nights from July 11 to 13.
The site hosts most of Australia’s F-35A fleet, all six E-7A Wedgetail aircraft, and Hawk 127/PC-21 trainers.
A defence spokesperson confirmed to media outlets that the operator’s identity and purpose were unknown.

The European Union’s foreign chief has said that the EU is planning to significantly expand sanctions against Russia in the coming months, in the bloc’s latest bid to push Moscow to the negotiating table to end its war with Ukraine.
“This fall, I will present the most far-reaching sanctions list since the beginning of the war,” EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas told German daily newspaper Die Welt.
Kallas said in the interview published on Aug. 17 that should the sanctions be adopted, the number of sanctioned Russian companies, organizations, and individuals would increase by one-third.
“The pressure must be intensified until Russia ends the war,” she said.
She also said that the sanctions legislation against Russia initiated in the U.S.

NZ Spy Agency Names China Main Espionage Threat, Cites CCP Interference

New Zealand’s intelligence agency says China is the country’s only large-scale espionage threat.
According to the 2026 Security Threat Environment report released by the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service (NZSIS) in August, foreign states and their proxies are targeting the country’s public and private sectors for intellectual property, innovative technology, and other non-public information—activity NZSIS describes as anything but “benign,” warning it could hand rivals a strategic advantage against the country and its partners.
While several states conduct espionage against New Zealand, the report singles out China as “the only country doing it at scale,” adding that Beijing’s intelligence services may be “the most active” of all.

On July 25, Williams heroically dove into pounding waves to save 10-year-old Nathaniel Rai at Seabright Beach, about 6 miles east of the popular Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.

A U.S. congressional committee is investigating the alleged China-linked funding of a leftist group that has organized pro-Palestinian protests in the United Kingdom.
The House Ways and Means Committee, led by Rep. Jason Smith (R-MO), is reportedly investigating more than $330,000 in alleged payments to a company tied to feminist grassroots organization Code Pink from firms linked to Neville Roy Singham, a former tech mogul who has been accused of funding left-wing nonprofit groupss and promoting Chinese propaganda. Singham is based in Shanghai, China.
Code Pink has frequently hosted protests against Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza and the ongoing U.S. war in Iran. The group finds itself at the center of the U.S. investigation, reported by the Telegraph, over its ties to Singham.

Blanche: DOJ May Ask Supreme Court to Intervene on Voter Rolls
VIDEO
By Sam Barron | Sunday, 16 August 2026 07:08 PM EDT
Attorney General Todd Blanche said the Justice Department might ask the Supreme Court to intervene after judges have repeatedly ruled against the Trump administration's efforts to get access to voter rolls.
"Absolutely, it's a possibility," Blanche said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
The Justice Department has lost 22 court cases challenging its efforts.
"Election integrity is something that President [Donald] Trump ran on, and the American people elected him. It's something that every American should care about," Blanche said.
