Eric Caron: FMR. U.S. Special Agent, Transnational Crime Orgs, New Paradigms w/Sargis Sangari EP #61

On Monday, 26 JUL 21, on the 61st EPISODE, of New Paradigms with Sargis Sangari, Eric Caron: Retired U.S. Diplomat, U.S. Special Agent, #HSBC Middle East Bank Executive, & Author of the Book Switched On, The Hearth, and Mind of a Special Agent, spoke about #Transnational #Criminal Organizations and their ability to create networks and operate under the radar.

Eric touched upon the historical cases of transnational crime and #terrorism and how they pose the greatest threat to our security in America. He also discussed U.S. #TechTransfer issues and topics, #border security, U.S. layered approach on #nationalsecurity, #globalization after the fall of the #sovietunion that allowed criminal groups to exploit #trade, #travel, and #telecommunication specifically within our #banking industry.

Eric and I discussed #China, #CCP, being our biggest economic threat: They #rob, #replicate, and #replace not only U.S. technology but workers! This Tactic Technique and Procedure (#TTP) is decades old and was used under the #Clinton Administration, The U.S. vs Hughes, and #LoralDefence Contractors.

Today's open-source reporting indicates that purchased camera systems were supposedly made in the U.S. but originated from #Chinese companies #blacklisted for security reasons. “A partial disassembly of the #Honeywell Camera Unit purchased by our military reveals even more: A #silicon #processor plainly labeled as manufactured by #Huawei.” https://theintercept.com/2021/07/20/video-surveillance-cameras-us-military-china-sanctions/

#Huawei and #TSMC allegedly stole U.S. video processor design in 2012. Now Huawei has occupied 95% worldwide surveillance camera market, including those used by the U.S. military. TSMC ignored the U.S. #sanction order and now resumes the production for Huawei, as the Huawei chips enter the U.S. market.

Eric also discussed #Iranian government posing the greatest threat to not only U.S. National Security, but also global security. A terror country acquiring #WMD material that has #agents all around the world to carry out attacks to include #kidnappings.

We discussed the role of the #SCO and why as individuals and as a nation, we must be #SwitchedOn and identify threats in our physical and spiritual worlds. #ACAMS
