#Hezbollah exploding #pager trail runs from #Taiwan to #Hungary

A snr Lebanese #security source identified a photograph of the model of the pager, an AR-924.

The source said the #pagers had been modified by #Israel's spy service, #Mossad, "at the production level."

"The Mossad injected a board inside of the device that has explosive material that receives a code. It's very hard to detect it through any means.”

The Creation of Adam
‘The Creation of Adam was made while I was an artist in residence in 2023, in collaboration with the Indigenous Paiwan peoples of Taiwan. Catalysed by Michelangelo’s The Creation of Adam, this reinterpretation of the biblical creation myth questions who the creator is and who or what the creator has created.'

Former aide to 2 New York governors is charged with being an agent of the Chinese government.

AP reports: "Linda Sun, who held numerous posts in New York state government before rising to the rank of deputy chief of staff for [Gov. Kathy] Hochul, was arrested Tuesday morning along with her husband, Chris Hu, at their $3.5 million home on Long Island. Prosecutors said Sun, at the request of Chinese officials, blocked representatives of the Taiwanese government from having access to the governor’s office, shaped New York governmental messaging to align with the priorities of the Chinese government and attempted to facilitate a trip to China for a high-level politician in New York."

Though there is no evidence that the new inroads are aimed at anything other than gathering #intelligence, some of the techniques & resources employed are associated w/those used in the past year by a #China-backed group known as #VoltTyphoon…. #US intelligence ofcls said that group sought access to equipment at Pacific #ports & other #infrastructure to enable China to sow #panic & #disrupt America’s ability to move #troops, #weaponry & supplies to #Taiwan if armed conflict breaks out.
