Even encryption technology itself was listed by the US as "national security relevant" or whatever in an attempt to prevent export. The encryption standards published and recommend by the US were also crackable by intelligence agencies for a long time, may still be.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Dems too, they're just tactful and subtle about it.
To your question, this was already really noticeable in his first term. By being brash and uncouth and calling things what they are, rather than using doublespeak or just doing things in the shadows, he made the contradictions of imperialism really uncomfortable for a lot of people. In being direct he created the beginnings of pushback from people who would otherwise be perfectly fine with kids in cages, seizing other countries' natural reources, etc.
It seems to me that we've only been talking about privatized spaceflight for the last ten or fifteen years. It makes me wonder why, because NASA for example has never manufactured anything of its own, it's a project manager and a research facility. It was always a part of the MIC, yet another means to get government funds into the hands of private capitalists. Many NASA projects only got off the ground because there was a military/intelligence application, and/or because some MIC capitalist stood to benefit greatly.
I think the best part about alienating Russia and China with regards to space exploration is that the US has unilaterally declared a new space race to the moon, and China is going to get there first even though they're not playing along with that silly game. It's also telling that China has opened their programs to collaboration with anyone, whereas the US has made it illegal to collaborate with China on space topics.
After reading the article and looking into this Dr. Busby I feel like caution is necessary.
While I wouldn't put it past the imperialists to use nuclear weapons, the author has taken some questionable positions in the past. The again said positions are merely not in line with the narrative the imperialist project presents, so maybe there's nothing to be concerned about here.
The UN for example stated in 2006 that his claims of DU munitions being used In Kosovo and Iraq (part two) are empirically false, but since then the US and NATO have admitted to it.
He has a very strange theory of radiation effects on humans, one which doesn't at all match with long established evidence, the mainstream theory, nor more modern theories.
He also claimed the Fukushima disaster (and Chernobyl) was much worse than it's generally agreed to be, and was selling some sort of anti-radiation pill of questionable effectiveness to Japanese people in the area.
The people who already mentioned cold fusion in this thread have made good points as well. I can't find much on this Del Guidice character but there's a bit in the German Wikipedia entry noting that his and his collaborator Giuliano Preparata's ideas on cold fusion and the "memory of water" were not well accepted amongst peers.
I don't know of any links between Adrian Zenz and his ETIM buddies and Falun Gong aside from their mutual friends at Langley, but I may have missed something. In any case, libs never really dropped it (what we consider proof there isn't anything untoward going on is ignored and played off as "CCP propaganda"), it just kind of went to sleep once the situation in Ukraine flared up.

Precisely this. The fuss about Chinese telecom hardware spying on you is made up by US intelligence because they want to be the ones who get to spy on you and keep their back doors in your products
A lot of non-profits function as a tax avoidance scheme. They're set up to do, say, some local or international social service as a charity, get donations, and the donors can write these donations off their taxable income. There are also non-profits that produce something and share all proceeds among the workers, but my perception is that those are far less common than the charitable type.
A lot of wealthy people start up their own non-profits as well, so they can "donate" to their own non-profit, write off the donation, and still control where the money is spent.
In any case the workers do typically earn money, but it's often less than they'd get doing a similar job for the state or a For-profit company.
Canada is something like 10,000km away from the coast of China. Canadian forces aircraft have no business being out there.
