This National Post Columnist Says He Spied for a Foreign Intelligence Agency. Experts Call His Behaviour ‘Unethical’ and ‘Absurd’.

National Post columnist Adam Zivo says he was moonlighting as a foreign intelligence asset at the same time as he worked for the National Po

Is it ethical for a journalist to wear a wire to dinner and spy for a foreign intelligence agency at the same time as they’re writing for one of Canada’s biggest newspapers? Most experts on journalism ethics might say that’s clearly “unethical,” but National Post columnist Adam Zivo is adamant he sees “no problem” with presenting himself as a journalist by day while moonlighting for a foreign spy agency by night. Zivo, who was sanctioned by Russia in August 2022, has recently been sharing dramatic and fantastical stories about a “weird espionage experience” he had while he was doing war zone reporting on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine for the National Post.

CIA Sets Off Security Crisis With One Email to Trump’s White House

In an effort to comply with Trump’s orders, the CIA just opened itself up to foreign attacks.

The CIA may have just doxxed itself.

The New York Times is reporting that the Central Intelligence Agency, complying with Trump’s attempts to purge the federal government, sent his administration an unclassified email containing a list of every single person the CIA had hired over the past two years. Security experts everywhere are alarmed at the news, as many of those named closely monitor U.S. adversaries like Russia and China—and could soon become targets because of it.

The list, which was sent to the White House’s Office of Management and Budget, contained names of operatives whose identities are typically guarded. It’s not clear how many names were in the email.

“Exposing the identities of officials who do extremely sensitive work would put a direct target on their backs for China,” Democratic Senator Mark Warner wrote on X. “A disastrous national security development.”

A former CIA officer described the email as a “counterintelligence disaster.” This comes as Trump offered CIA employees an unauthorized “buyout” in return for their resignations.

BREAKING: Foreign Funding Is Fueling a Crisis on America’s Campuses

New data uncovers a pipeline of foreign cash and public funds fueling radicalization and terrorism on U.S. university campuses.

Breaking new data has revealed a threat to America’s universities far deeper and more dangerous than previously understood. Exclusive information shared with The Free Press by the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) shows a massive surge of foreign donations—particularly from Qatar, China, and Germany—to American colleges in recent years, with billions flowing into the very institutions now at the center of antisemitism scandals. In a separate case study shared with Reality’s Last Stand, the NCRI documents how public funds have, in at least one major university, been used to platform and promote terrorists and individuals linked to designated foreign terrorist organizations.

This is just like the internet. Our enemies are attacking us in broad daylight, and in particular are targeting our children to destroy American society.

Historically, some in MI6 had tended to look down on the domestic Security Service as little more than a police outfit, lacking in imagination and verve; MI5, in turn, tended to view foreign-intelligence officers as flaky public school adventurers.

How Trump’s tweets impact National Security

#TrumpUnfit #TrumpExistentialThreat #NationalSecurity

WEIR: When it comes to American adversaries in Pyongyang or Moscow, following Donald Trump on Twitter, what worries you the most? GEN. MICHAEL HAYDEN, FORMER CIA AND NSA DIRECTOR:

If I'm the head of a hostile or even friendly intelligence service, I've got a new office over here. Follow that account. Tell me what this man is saying. It's tremendously revealing. We know the president's hot buttons, we know his vulnerabilities, we know what upsets him, we know what he demands from his subordinates. We even know his sleep patterns based upon his Twitter usage. WEIR: Right. HAYDEN: That's a tremendous gift to a foreign power. WEIR: All of those things somebody like Vladimir Putin, say, takes great pains to hide. HAYDEN: Of course. WEIR: Yes. HAYDEN: Because you don't want to advantage the other guy. 

WEIR: While lashing out at "The Washington Post," this tweet declassified a top secret operation to arm Syrian rebels. Intentional or not, it's the kind of revelation that makes jaws drop in the capitals of both enemies and allies. STEVE HALL, RETIRED CIA CHIEF OF RUSSIA OPERATIONS: 

I can guarantee you that there are liaison services right now, services that work with us, foreign intelligence services who have probably decided to do a little self-editing and have said, look, we just don't know what he is going to do. WEIR: They're withholding valuable information from the U.S. out of fear that he might tweet it.
