The Biden Administration appeared weak, inept, paralyzed, as it did nothing to prevent the biggest national security breach in U.S. history since Pearl Harbor. What if the giant balloon intended to drop an EMP taking out our grid system? Instead, it worked like a vacuum sucking intelligence from our missile silos below as it floated for a week through Alaska, Canada and the heartland of America. It was taken down in the ocean east of South Carolina only after it could inflict no more damage to America. So we know what the Democrats national security program looks like, We have none, China owns Biden!!
But what would a President Trump do differently? He said from the beginning, “Shoot down the balloon.” Such should have happened within seconds of China’s illegal entry into Alaska’s air space. But China’s breach of American security requires much much more. Trump created a video that shows what else is needed to stop this, or worse, from ever happening again. With a censoring press we can’t be certain you will get this information so we share his solutions to the now obvious China Threat.
Trump begins, “It’s rarely even mentioned that China has many thousands of spies working in the United States in business, finance, academia, technology, media and likely, even government—very sadly. As President I established a special initiative at the Department of Justice tasked with the sole mission of targeting Chinese espionage in the United States. Joe Biden terminated that program right away, suggesting that it was somehow racist, according to published reports. This came shortly after 160 faculty members of the University of Pennsylvania, (where I went to school, the Wharton School of Finance), home of the now infamous Biden Center, wrote to Merrick Garland, and demanded that the Chinese espionage initiative be shut down immediately” (X22 Reports, Ep. 2989b Feb. 3 2023, hereafter cited Trump video). He did!
The Left confirms that President Trump’s attempt to stop Chinese espionage in the United States by targeting it by an Initiative was opposed by the Biden Administration who quickly shut it down. Politico headlined, “DOJ shuts down China-focused anti-espionage program,” Feb. 23, 2022. “Biden administration is shutting down a Justice Department program that focused on countering Chinese espionage.” NPR and CBS News each confirmed with similar headlines all citing the same Feb. 23, 2022 date.”
Trump’s video continues, “Congress needs to dig deep into the financial operations of the University of Pennsylvania, it’s Chinese donors, the Biden Center and the Biden family and figure out what the hell is going on!
“As President, I took the most dramatic action of any administration to curtail China’s ability to conduct espionage in the United States. And when I’m back in the White House, those efforts will be expanded in a very, very big way. Instead of hunting down Republicans, a reformed FBI and Justice Department will be hunting down Chinese spies.
“We will create new partnerships with businesses and universities to give them the tools to protect themselves from insider threats. We will also impose whatever visa sanctions and travel restrictions are necessary to shut off Chinese access to American secrets in compliance with our demands and in compliance with our laws.
“The FBI even recently admitted that China operates a secret police force on American soil. How do you like that one, imposing the Iron Fist of the Communist Party to rule. Think of this, the Communist Party rule on Chinese nationals in the United States—just think about that. We will shut that down and we will shut it down, cold. Thank you very much” (Trump video).
Given Trump’s documented efforts to stop the espionage, it is easy to accept the following. “The Chinese would never have floated the Blimp (balloon) over the United States if I were president!!!” And again, “Who sends a Billion Dollar blimp, with the most sophisticated equipment in the world, and large enough to hold ten cars or three large busses into a complex pattern over the United States…?” (Ep. 2990b, Feb. 6, 2023).
Thus far we know: the balloon was in United States air space unrestrained for over a week, is a high altitude surveillance balloon, flew over sensitive sites like nuclear silos and military bases, changed course so it is maneuverable, can carry a large payload, and presumably collected defensive military data the type the Chinese military would be most interested in. This likely included Bumblehive, Utah’s Data Center controlled by the NSA capable of storing “over exabytes of data. That’s one quintillion bytes. A billion times a billion, bytes of NSA data.” They keep this facility inland for defensive purposes but the intelligence balloon flew right over it (X22 Reports, Ep. 2989b, Feb. 3, 2023, Clandestine, 23:16). The facility, is located in Bluffdale, Utah. To learn more about it see LibertyUnderFire.com (“Mammoth Spy Facility in Bluffdale, Ut.,” Harold Pease, Ph.D, June 14, 2013).
So why would Biden object to the focus on Chinese espionage? The Biden family—Hunter, James, and Joe have received $31 million from them. No family in America is more purchased by China than it “The Biden family has done five deals in China totaling some $31 million arranged by individuals with direct ties to Chinese intelligence — some reaching the very top of China’s spy agency. Indeed, every known deal that the Biden family enjoyed with Beijing was reached courtesy of individuals with spy ties. And Joe Biden personally benefited from his family’s foreign deals” (“Chinese elite have paid some $31 million to Hunter and the Bidens,” By Peter Schweizer, New York Post, January 27, 2022). Read Schweizer’s new book “Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win” for why China can fly a surveillance balloon across the United States and not get it shot down until it had completed its intel gathering mission.
