China is ‘Pretty Good at Stealing’ Technology, NASA Chief Says

China’s communist regime is engaged in a campaign to illicitly co-opt U.S. space technologies, according to NASA’s highest-ranking official, who said the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is adept at stealing the United States’ most vital technological secrets.

“Yeah, they’re pretty good at stealing,” NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said during a May 17 House Appropriations Committee hearing. “And I think that’s incumbent upon us to take cybersecurity very, very seriously.”

‘2000 Mules’ Allegations Not Part of Claims Dismissed
by Georgia Elections Board, Despite Media Reports

Elections board members seemed to suggest during a May 17 meeting that they had disproven allegations from the documentary that alleges widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election.

But the board has yet to review any claims made by True the Vote, the organization featured in “2000 Mules.”

As described in the documentary released May 7, Houston-based True the Vote spent a year and a half analyzing cell phone data and dropbox surveillance videos to show patterns of what they call illegal ballot trafficking during the 2020 elections. The nonprofit focused its work in five jurisdictions in five swing states won by Democrat Joe Biden—Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
