Well, well, well. The world seems amazed at the news that the Chinese spy balloon that meandered over the entire continental United States this winter was, you know, spying. That’s what spy balloons do: they spy. They collect intelligence — in this case, information from some of America’s most sensitive sites (I was going to say “secure sites,” but that would clearly be inaccurate). What do they do then? Like bees collecting pollen, they transmit what they collected back to the hive, which, mirabile dictu, just happens to be located in Beijing.
Anyone who was paying attention knew this. Did secretary of state Antony Blinken? Did puppet-in-chief Joe “Chocolate-Chip” Biden? Probably. But there is knowing and then there is knowing. The latter includes acknowledging what you know, which neither they nor SecDef Lloyd “Stand Down” Austin nor chair-entity of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark “White Rage” Milley did.
Nope, it was ostrich time all around — by which I mean that our heads were buried in the sand. Which is why the NBC report that — can you believe it? — Beijing’s spy balloon was not only collecting secrets but also transmitting them back to Comrade Pooh-Bear Xi caused a little ripple in the pond of public complacency yesterday. “Chinese spy balloon gathered intelligence from sensitive US military sites, despite US efforts to block it.” You don’t say?
China was able to control the balloon so it could make multiple passes over some of the sites (at times flying figure-eight formations) and transmit the information it collected back to Beijing in real time… The intelligence China collected was mostly from electronic signals, which can be picked up from weapons systems or include communications from base personnel, rather than images.
Why did Biden, or whoever makes his decisions for him, wait for the balloon to complete its trek across the US before shooting it down? “Oh, we were worried about wreckage hurting people below,” said these clowns. The balloon was detected on January 28, over some remote vastness, and it several times passed over desolate, unpopulated areas. So that was a lie. And note that the only reason the public knows about the balloon is because some public spirited person in Montana saw and reported it. Otherwise the Biden administration’s vow of omertà when it comes to national security would have been in force to this day.
Everyone knows the movie The Manchurian Candidate. During the Korean War, a US solider is captured and taken to Communist China where he is brainwashed and programmed to kill upon being given a certain signal. Is Joe Biden the Manchurian Candidate? No. He was never in the armed forces. And he and his family have not been brainwashed by the commies, only paid off handsomely.
Still, it is worth asking what Biden would do differently if he wanted to harm America. As I noted elsewhere when the ChiCom balloon was first making headlines, Biden has depleted our Strategic Petroleum Reserve, shuttered the Keystone Pipeline and put the kibosh on fracking. He has gone a long way towards transforming the United States military into a genderfluid sensitivity camp while also undermining the US economy by incontinent spending and pursuing other inflationary policies. Biden and his puppet masters tried to stymie Trump by turning his catchphrase “MAGA” into a negative epithet (and if “MAGA” is bad, how much worse is “Ultra MAGA”?).
No, MAGA means “making America great again.” It means prosperity, a southern border, a booming stock market, rising wages, a robust military. The real news in the NBC report was an ironical recognition we all already knew: the country is in the very best of hands.
