BUT IS IT REALLY CHINESE?
U.S.-China relations have been strained in recent years due to increasing tensions between the two countries over security and trade issues. China has criticized U.S. regulations on technology exports, citing them as a trade violation. The U.S. military has banned the use of the Chinese-owned TikTok app on military devices due to concerns over spying. Additionally, nearly half of state governments across the U.S. have also banned the use of TikTok on state-owned devices. These actions reflect the growing tensions between the two countries and the increasing scrutiny of Chinese technology companies by the U.S. government.
In 2017, I had sent off a report to the Department of Justice, State Department, Homeland Security and the White House (after President Trump was inaugurated) to advise that Governor Doug Burgum was funded by the CCP via a capital firm in Chicago. I have posted many articles about the relationship that the state of North Dakota has with the Chinese and the businesses that the late (he killed himself rather than go to jail) Attorney General of North Dakota refused to investigate for espionage.
In fact, the Attorney General shot back at Governor Burgum with alleged “sponsorships” from corporate entities rather than cease Chinese interactions because he was being excluded after the Fentanyl debacle. Past the northern border heading to Canada via Turtle Lake way. Why is this relevant?
North Dakota is indicative of having most of its political leaders funded by China, causing serious concerns about their “foreign policy” due to the fact that it shares a border with a foreign nation, Canada. In 2016, a military training academy was discovered 10-12 miles from the border in Canada by North Dakota. Additionally, purchases made by the Communist Party of China in North Dakota are done through venture firms, and it is speculated that the CCP may own half of Fargo due to a loan it funded for Governor Doug Burgum to purchase literally HALF OF THE CITY OF FARGO. There is also speculation about a North Dakota reporter being a double agent for the CCP as he worked both for Tennent and Brennan working APAC, but that is a story for another time.
Today the focus shifts to the alleged spy balloon that has reportedly been floating across the US for days, with no action taken by the military.
This is not the first instance of China’s intrusion into US airspace, according to the Pentagon, but the behavior of the current balloon is described as unusual. A Defense Department official stated that the balloon is staying in the area for a longer duration than previously observed and is more persistent.
It appears that the continued flight of the alleged spy balloon is seen as a provocative act by China, potentially taunting the Biden administration. It is a strong indicator of an ACT OF WAR. The possibility of it being a mistake purposeful by China’s military before Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s visit to Beijing adds to the concern.
Regardless of the intention behind the balloon, its flight is perceived as a challenge and a direct threat to national security, as it is reportedly attempting to collect military data while hovering in unregulated airspace above commercial air traffic.
Another potential explanation for the balloon’s persistence is that China wants to collect signals intelligence by detecting radio, cell phone, and other electronic communications. This would give China “ears in the sky” to gather information.
From a tactical viewpoint, there is still an opportunity to shoot down the balloon. The F-22 stealth fighters mentioned by the Pentagon are capable of tracking and targeting it. The F-22 Raptor, being the world’s most advanced fighter, has a radar that can detect even small objects, making it an ideal candidate for this mission. The balloon has been reported to be hovering at 60,000 feet. The reluctance to shoot it down makes the whole response QUESTIONABLE. It’s not like the Biden administration would tether or release a spy balloon and then identify it as Chinese to do nothing but WATCH it collect data swapping “eyes” in the sky for “ears” in the sky by our most important Nuclear Base and silos.
This “spy balloon” nonchalant response by the Biden Administration comes on the heels of the propaganda being pushed that Putin will nuke the Atlantic to submerge the UK and NYC. It seems very odd and very orchestrated but most concerning of all is how PEDESTRIAN it feels.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has postponed his visit to China due to the controversy surrounding the detection of a Chinese surveillance balloon in US airspace. State Department officials have stated that the trip has been postponed indefinitely and that the presence of the balloon is a violation of US sovereignty and international law. A senior official stated that after consultations with other agencies and Congress, it was concluded that the conditions were not appropriate for Blinken to travel to China at this time.
TRENDING: OP-ED: CHINESE COMPANY KONNECH FUNDED BY DOD
Remember this guy?
The search for Eric Matthew Frein, who was suspected of hiding in the dense forests of northeastern Pennsylvania, had been ongoing for some time now. The cost of the operation, which involved hundreds of state troopers, was estimated to be approximately $500,000 per week and they needed a better way to search for him.
The use of the balloon, which is similar to a weather balloon and is tethered, unmanned, and silent compared to helicopters, is part of the ongoing search for Eric Frein, who is believed to be hiding in the Pocono Mountain region. The device, which was offered by Ohio D.O.T, provides similar technology as some aviation equipment at a fraction of the cost. The blimp is filled with helium and costs approximately $1,000 to inflate. The camera on the balloon has the capability to spot individuals from up to 3 miles away and groups of people or vehicles from up to 5 miles away.
Apparently, these blimps are used by EVERY state tethered and untethered even by simple D.O.T. therefore could this “blimp” be American made considering the limp wristed response of the US military and China casually saying “oopsie” but not ceasing it’s operation. It’s almost like the CCP response and the Biden Administration’s response were scripted.
The US military conducted surveillance tests using high-altitude balloons in the Midwest region of the US back in 2019. The balloons are intended to detect drug trafficking and potential threats to national security. The balloons are solar powered, unmanned and will drift through several states in the region, including South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri and Illinois, at altitudes of up to 65,000ft. The Sierra Nevada Corporation, an aerospace and defense company, made the filing with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on behalf of the military hence the records that exist.
According to the documents filed with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the balloons equipped with high-tech radars are designed to track many individual vehicles simultaneously, day or night, and through all weather conditions. The tests, conducted by the Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC), an aerospace and defense company, received an FCC license to operate from mid-July to September, following similar flights licensed in previous years. The balloons are intended to “provide a persistent surveillance system to locate and deter narcotic trafficking and homeland security threats”.
US MADE but IDENTIFYING AS CHINESE MADE?
Interestingly, the “balloon” seems to have been identified as Kutta Technologies | Command, Control, and Communications (C3) product but for some reason people are declaring it Chinese- maybe it is – but maybe it isn’t.
US Southern Command (Southcom) is responsible for a wide range of tasks, including disaster response, intelligence operations, security cooperation in the Caribbean and Central and South America, and identifying and intercepting drug shipments headed for the US. It is a joint effort by various branches of the US military, including the army, navy, and air force. The balloons are being tested as part of Southcom’s efforts to improve its surveillance capabilities. Doesn’t it seem odd how we have these balloons deployed in EVERY state and even the border but HUMAN AND DRUG trafficking continue? Almost like it’s intentional.
Project Genetrix
Project Genetrix was a large-scale series of missions conducted by the U.S. military in the 1950s to gather intelligence using high-altitude spy balloons. The project flew photographic balloons over Soviet bloc territory to gather information about the territory, including infrastructure, military installations, and other important facilities. The balloons were launched from aircraft or the ground, and typically operated at altitudes between 80,000 to 120,000 feet, far above commercial air traffic and most military aircraft. The information gathered by Project Genetrix was used by the U.S. military to build up a comprehensive intelligence picture of Soviet bloc territory and to help plan military operations if necessary.
In recent years, the use of high-altitude balloons for military and intelligence purposes has seen a resurgence, with several countries developing their own programs and deploying them for various purposes such as border security, communications, and environmental monitoring. With advancements in technology and miniaturization, these balloons are now able to carry sophisticated payloads that can be used for a wide range of applications.
ALPHABET INC. (aka Google aka In-Q-Tel aka CIA) Loons?
Raven Aerostar is a company that supplies balloons for Southcom’s tests and launches them from its facility in South Dakota. The company has the capability to keep balloons aloft for almost a month. It also provides balloons to Alphabet subsidiary Loon for delivering internet and cell phone service from the stratosphere.
Southcom’s balloons are equipped with small vehicles containing advanced sensors and communication gear. The balloons use synthetic aperture radar to detect cars and boats moving on a 25-mile swath beneath them. They also have mesh networking technology that allows them to communicate with each other and share data with receivers on the ground.
Speculation due to Strewn Stories
The response from the Biden Administration and military is confusing to people who know blimps and balloons well. The U.S. military has a stratospheric spy balloon program, known as COLD STAR (COvert Long Dwell STratospheric ARchitecture), designed to operate undetected in enemy airspace. They know what loons fly and hover at which heights. Interestingly, stratospheric spy balloons like COLD STAR usually fly at an altitude of 80,000 feet or higher. NASA’s version flies at an altitude of 120,000 feet. On the other hand, US Air Force’s F-15 Eagle and F-22 Raptor have an operating altitude of around 65,000 feet. This high altitude makes it challenging for these military aircrafts to shoot down the balloons, even if they can get close enough to fire a missile. But in this case the altitude is 60,000 to 65,000 ft which would NOT be a COVERT loon and therefore anyone familiar with flight heights and efforts would assume commercial and or flying with permission. You can’t NOT detect something at 60K-70K ft as you can see it with your eyes, unless it is coated in Niobium in which the loon would be camouflaged.
U.S. military leaders considered shooting down a stratospheric spy balloon over Montana, but eventually advised against it due to the safety risk posed by the potential debris. The decision was communicated to President Biden. This stance is odd considering these are filled with non-flammable helium unlike the Hindenburg that was filled with hydrogen. Debris? It’s Montana and controlled “popping” with a missile would have ended the concerns, unless the spy balloon was flying with permission.
Canada Chiming in isn’t helping in the age of (mis)Information
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs released a statement regarding the unintentional entry of a Chinese unmanned airship into US airspace. The airship is a civilian research vessel mainly used for meteorological purposes, which deviated from its planned course due to the Westerlies and limited self-steering capabilities. The ministry stated that the situation was due to force majeure and expressed regret over the entry of the airship into North America. Canada’s national defense department stated that Canadians are safe and steps are being taken to ensure the security of its airspace, including monitoring for a potential second incident.
This is an ACT of WAR and China says “oopsie” and it’s ok? In foreign policy it’s called “testing the waters” and it looks like a SHAKE up is coming soon unless…. it’s not Chinese.
Made in China or Made in the USA
Civilians and those not with “need to know” will not be told which is which BUT the response of your government and other governments to an event answer that question.
