China, Russia Bolster Influence In Latin America - New satellite photo shows additions to space-monitoring sites in Bejcual and Calabazar, which the report said is "notable" since Cuba does not currently possess its own satellite or space program.
LATAM - New satellite imagery posted by Maxar Technologies indicates that China has been bolstering its "space monitoring" and intelligence-gathering capabilities at multiple bases in Latin America as Moscow and Beijing continue to gain military and economic influence in South America.
As China bolsters its ability to gather intelligence in Latin America, two Russian navy vessels docked in Venezuela on Tuesday to maintain its naval presence in the region after three Russian ships and a nuclear submarine visited Cuba earlier in early June.
China Bolstering Cuban Bases, Russian Navy Docks In Venezuela
Satellite images captured in March and April of this year were released in a report on Tuesday by the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) that indicated that China has undergone new construction at three sites located near the American naval base at Guantanamo Bay.
Sites that show additions or new construction include: Bejcual, Calabazar, Wajay, and El Salao.
The new construction shows additions to its space-monitoring sites in Bejcual and Calabazar, which the report said is "notable" since Cuba does not currently possess its own satellite or space program.
“Without access to classified materials, pinpointing the specific targets of these assets is nearly impossible,” the report said, adding, "Nonetheless, the growth of space-monitoring equipment at sites like Bejucal and Calabazar is notable given that Cuba lacks its own satellites or space program".
The largest of the four sites where new activity was discovered was Bejucal, the same base used by the Soviet Union to store nuclear weapons during the 1962 Cuban missile crisis.
Where it was once a base used to store nuclear weapons, it is now being used as an intelligence monitoring station, which is suspected of being used to monitor electronic communications for the Chinese government.
The Bejucal site has undergone a large amount of recent construction, including a new enclosure for its electronic antenna. The new construction at the Wajay and Calabazar sites also indicates the installation of a new antenna, radar dishes, and other satellite monitoring equipment.
The El Salao site, which is located near the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay close to the city of Santiago de Cuba looks to be currently under construction and poses a particular concern for the United States.
The CSIS report revealed that China appears to be building a 425 to 655-foot diameter antenna array, and added that other arrays with a similar diameter have been capable of tracking electronic signals up to 9,300 miles away. Antenna Array Of This Diameter Could Cover Entire North American Continent: Read Full Report.

BRICS Looks To Expand, De-Dollarize, De-weaponize Western Sanctions. Dollar Remains Strong - On January 1st, 2024 the organization, which previously only included Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, added four new members: Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
WORLD - More countries are voicing their intention to join BRICS, a geopolitical bloc that Beijing has pushed to become a full-scale rival to the Western G7 bloc. BRICS is an intergovernmental organization that brings together the world's top developing countries.
On January 1st, 2024 the organization, which previously only included Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, added four new members: Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Although Saudi Arabia was invited to join during the 15th BRICS summit, its approval has not yet been finalized.
BRICS To Become Larger, Seeks To Decouple From The US Dollar, De-Weaponize Sanctions
Russia and China have both called for the "reform of the global governance system", with Chinese President Xi Jinping voicing China's desire to lead the new system which reflects Beijing's values and goals.
The bloc has left the door open for future enlargement and has now seen dozens of new applications to join, with the latest being Malaysia and Thailand.
South African Ministry of Finance Enoch Godongwana said, "There is a second batch of countries that are going to be added [to] BRICS," indicating that it has left the door open for further expansion.
Beijing began pushing for the BRICS organization to establish itself more on the global stage in order to de-weaponize Western sanctions.
As the organization grows less dependent upon the U.S. dollar, the negative impact sanctions have on countries that are a part of it will decrease, making sanctions a less effective tool to urge compliance toward policy or diplomatic goals.

Beryl Turns Into Cat 5 Hurricane, Nears Jamaica - The wind speed of the hurricane has been reported to be at 155 miles per hour, moving west-northwest at 22 miles per hour.
CARIBBEAN - Beryl has turned into a Category 5 hurricane as it moves quickly toward Jamaica, which is currently under a hurricane warning alert.
The wind speed of the hurricane has been reported to be at 155 miles per hour, moving west-northwest at 22 miles per hour and the outer parts of the storm is bringing rain to parts of Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.
Forecasters say that the storm should pass just to the south of the Haitian coast during the day on Tuesday and into the evening. As such, the coast of Haiti is currently under a tropical storm warning.
National Hurricane Center Director Michael Brennan said that he expects the storm to remain a major hurricane as it nears Jamaica, with the main part of the storm passing just south of the Haitian coast.
“We are expecting the core of a major hurricane to pass near or over the island during the day,” he said, adding that The Hurricane Center expects a storm surge of between 5 to 8 feet above normal levels.
White House Statement On Beryl: "POTUS is closely monitoring Hurricane Beryl and connecting with officials on the ground, including USAID and FEMA, to ready resources, partners, and staff. We are ready to support the people of Puerto Rico, the USVI, and the region, and urge residents to heed local guidance." More Data, Information.

Pentagon Statement: US Bases In Europe Under Heightened Alert. US Officials Warn Of Possible Terrorist Attacks, ISIS-Affiliated Networks Smuggling Illegals Into US - The DHS reported that an ISIS-affiliated human smuggling network aided over 400 illegal immigrants crossing the border to get into the United States illegally.
EUROPE - Many U.S. military bases located within Europe have been put on a heightened alert status ahead of possible terrorist attacks against facilities or personnel, according to U.S. defense officials who say the increase is due to several factors, and not related to a single threat alone.
U.S. counterterrorism officials have said that the Islamic State terrorist organization (IS, also known as ISIS, or ISIS-K) has been once again establishing itself in the Middle East, including Afghanistan, and has set its sights on Europe.
U.S. counterterrorism officials have also said that ISIS-K has been increasing their influence in “transnational” criminal networks and human smuggling rings in Europe and across the globe, which includes smuggling activities involving the U.S. borders.
The Department of Homeland Security said that an ISIS-affiliated human smuggling network aided over 400 illegal immigrants crossing the border to get into the United States illegally over the last three years.
There has been increased concern by U.S. officials that the increased flow of illegal immigrants crossing over into the United States has caught the attention of the Islamic State terrorist group.

Attempted Coup In Bolivia Ended In Failure - Bolivian officials and the Minister of the Bolivian Presidency María Nela Prada have called it an "attempted coup d’etat". The coup failed, with the General fleeing before being arrested.
BOLIVIA - Bolivian President Luis Arce says that there is an "irregular" deployment of soldiers in the country's capital, with Bolivian television showing tanks and uniformed men outside the palace building.
Bolivian officials and the Minister of the Bolivian Presidency María Nela Prada have called it an "attempted coup d’etat". The Bolivian government palace was rammed by armored vehicles.
Bolivian television station Red Uno cited her as saying, "The people are on alert to defend democracy".
The coup is being led by General Juan José Zuniga who said, “We will take back our homeland. Our country can’t continue like this”.
Bolivian President Luis Arce is denouncing the “irregular mobilization” of the country’s military and has urged people to mobilize.
“The country is facing an attempted coup d’état. Here we are, firm in Casa Grande, to confront any coup attempt. We need the Bolivian people to organize,” he stated in a video.
In a video Arce is showing telling Zuniga, "I am your captain, and I order you to withdraw your soldiers, and I will not allow this insubordination”.
Arce became the country’s president after winning the 2020 election which returned power back to the MAS socialist party.
The coup failed, with the General fleeing before being arrested.

Mexico: 1.39 Million People From Nearly Every Country In The World Traveling To Mexico To Get Into The US Illegally - Nearly every country in the world has had citizens travel through Mexico attempting to get into the United States illegally without papers.
MEXICO - According to the Mexican government on Sunday, about 1.39 million people from 177 different countries traveled through Mexico in an attempt to get into the United States illegally.
As there are 195 countries in the world, the 177-country figure indicates that nearly every country in the world has had citizens travel through Mexico attempting to get into the United States without papers.
Mexico's National Migration Institute reported figures from January to May of this year and stated that most of those traveling across Mexico to get into the United States were people traveling alone, with nearly 3,000 being minors without the accompaniment of an adult.
380,000 of those attempting to gain access to the United States through Mexico were coming from Venezuela, after which are: Guatemala, Honduras, Ecuador, and Haiti. Others came from China, India, Mauritania and Angola, according to the institute.
Some Chinese citizens who have successfully gained entrance into the United States illegally were issued IDs by Mexico labeling them as "humanitarian workers" or "visitors" which one U.S. senator says is likely so that the Chinese nationals can show that they have a valid reason to be in Mexico.
According to U.S. figures, about 2.4 million people crossed over the southern border with Mexico to gain entrance into the United States illegally, or without proper documentation, with a record 10,000 illegal entries per day in December.
The number of illegals entering the United States from the southern border has decreased since then as the United States and Mexico have implemented some measures to try to tackle the issue due to the high volume coming over the border.

US Submarine Arrives In Guantanamo Bay, Near US Base In Cuba - The Department of Defense said the Pentagon has been tracking Russia's plans for carrying the exercises in the region and that the visit wasn't a surprise.
CUBA - A U.S. Navy nuclear-powered fast attack submarine has arrived in Guantanamo Bay, near the American base in Cuba as part of what U.S. Southern Command says is a "routine visit", but coincides with a visit by four Russian naval vessels, including one of its nuclear-powered submarines, which Moscow says is intended to send a message to Washington, along with its recent joint nuclear exercises with Belarus.
U.S. Southern Command released a statement that said, "The fast-attack submarine USS Helena is in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba as part of a routine port visit as it transits the U.S. Southern Command geographic area of responsibility while conducting its global maritime security and national defense mission. The vessel's location and transit were previously planned."
Although the United States stated that the Russian visit to Cuba did not pose a threat to the U.S. and that none of the vessels appeared to be carrying nuclear weapons, the ships were shadowed and tracked by the U.S. forces during their voyage to the port in Havana, Cuba.

Russian Navy Docks In Cuba, Moscow Carries Out Nuclear Exercise With Belarus To Send "A Message To Washington" (Report) - Russian state-run media reported that the purpose of the visit to Havana, Cuba, and the nuclear drills was to send a message to Washington.
RUSSIA/CUBA - Russian vessels have docked in Havana, Cuba for a planned visit, while Russian nuclear forces carry out joint exercises with Belarus to send “a message to Washington”.
The Russian Ministry of Defense said the purpose of the joint nuclear drills with Belarus was to maintain the readiness of the armed forces of Belarus and Russia, as well as to ensure its territorial integrity.
The Ministry of Defense stated, “During the exercise, issues of joint training of units of the armed forces of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus for the combat use of non-strategic nuclear weapons will be worked out”.
Russian state-run news agency RIA Novosti reported that the purpose of the visit to Havana, Cuba, and the nuclear drills was to send a message to Washington. It said, “The fact is that tactical nuclear weapons, unlike strategic ones, have not been the subject of international agreements in which Russia participates, so the number of such ammunition in arsenals is not known for certain”.
It also claimed that the Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, which can carry both a conventional or a nuclear warhead are invulnerable to air defense systems and have been used “more than once” to strike Ukrainian military targets. Read more.
8 Suspected ISIS Terrorists Arrested In The US After Crossing Southern Border And Initially Released Into The US - The sting operation, which arrested 8 Tajikistan nationals, was carried out by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) along with the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force.
US/MEXICO - In a sting operation that spanned multiple states, 8 suspected terrorists with connections to ISIS-K were arrested in Philadelphia, New York City, and Los Angeles after crossing over the southern border and being initially fully vetted and released into the United States.
The sting operation, which arrested 8 Tajikistan nationals, was carried out by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) along with the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force, according to federal authorities.
The Tajikistan nationals were initially vetted, during which no derogatory information or national security concerns were found by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and were released into the United States.
After being released into the U.S., however, concerns by U.S. authorities grew that they were found to have connections with ISIS-K, with one of the suspects being wiretapped and found to be talking about bombs.
The suspect found to be talking about bombs via the wiretap was one who had been released after having been arrested by authorities and released into the United States. The suspect had a court date set for next year before it was found he had connections to the ISIS-K terrorist group.
A DHS, FBI joint statement said, "Over the last few days, ICE agents arrested several non-citizens pursuant to immigration authorities. The actions were carried out in close coordination with the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Forces.
The individuals arrested are detained in ICE custody pending removal proceedings. As the FBI and DHS have recently described in public and partner bulletins, the U.S. has been in a heightened threat environment.
The FBI and DHS will continue working around the clock with our partners to identify, investigate, and disrupt potential threats to national security." Multiple Terrorist Suspects Caught At Southern Border Have Been Released Into The United States Recently: Read More.
