Ep 367 | Silent Sabotage: China’s Multifront Threat to America’s Networks

Kevin Freeman and former CIA officer Sam Faddis outline how China’s “unrestricted warfare” strategy targets undersea internet cables, cellular networks via SIM farms, and satellites to paralyze U.S. communications and commerce. They warn that 99% of global data flows through vulnerable subsea cables, now threatened by specialized Chinese vessels and ROVs capable of deepwater cuts — actions tantamount to acts of war. Recent SIM farm busts near the U.N. highlight MSS-run operations capable of jamming 911, conducting fraud, and launching denial-of-service attacks with off-the-shelf gear. The discussion urges rapid decoupling from Chinese-made critical components, hardening the grid, rebuilding U.S. industrial capability, and reorienting investments to strengthen national resilience.
