Biden & The Chinese Spy Balloon
This story is so terribly... weird. There are a number of questions that need to be answered.
This thing with the Chinese Spy Balloon is extremely strange. To put it mildly.
I’ve got some questions.
A quick re-cap on what we know:
Saturday, Jan 28 - A Chinese spy balloon enters U.S. airspace.
Sunday, Jan 29 - The balloon moves into Canadian airspace.
Over the days that followed - the balloon traveled over multiple US Airforce bases, and missile silos (among other key, strategic sites).
The White House was aware of the balloon from the moment it lifted off in mainland China.
The US government made a point of not shooting it down.
The governor of Montana verified that he had no notice that a Chinese Military aircraft was entering his airspace.
The US Congress was not notified of the military craft.
The White House only admitted to knowing about the aircraft after it was seen, repeatedly, but civilians.
The balloon was purposefully allowed full, unobstructed flight across the entire continental USA.
Friday, Feb 3 - A large explosion occurs in the sky over Billings, Montana (following a jet flyover). Yellowstone County Sheriff says the event occurred, but no information about what it was.
Saturday, Feb 4 - 2:39 p.man - The balloon is shot down, 6 miles off the coast of South Carolina, by an F-22 fighter jet from Langley Air Force Base in Virginia.
Immediately following the downing of the balloon… recovery efforts were not started. Despite being in shallow waters close to Coast Guard and other military services that could have easily been ready within minutes.
Oh-so-many questions are raised by all of this. Some of them deeply troubling.
Why did Biden make a point of allowing a Chinese Military Aircraft (one used for surveillance and spying) full, unobstructed access to the United States — specifically military targets?
That’s a concerning question right there. One that we truly need answers to.
The White House has stated — after the balloon was publicly tracked and widely covered in the news and social media — that they didn’t want to shoot it down over land. But that reasoning doesn’t make any sense, considering the balloon was over empty land for much of the time. Even the governor of Montana agreed that it would be safe to shoot down over his state.
Likewise the public was instructed to give full access — and not obstruct the flight or attempt to shoot it down.
Which means that President Biden simply did not want to shoot down the balloon at all. At least, not yet.
Why did Biden work to keep this aircraft a secret — not only from the public, but from governors and state military as well?
Congress was not briefed on a Chinese Military craft in US Airspace? Governors were not told a foreign military craft was over their cities?
That is extremely strange.
For whatever reason, President Biden made a point of making sure that other portions of both the Federal and State governments were kept in the dark.
What was the true purpose of the spy balloon?
The path of the balloon suggests surveillance of several military and key infrastructure targets. But until we have the equipment… it will be difficult to know for certain.
However… the Biden administration has laid the groundwork for having significant doubt regarding the authenticity of any recovered equipment — as, after the balloon was shot down — it was not immediately recovered. Despite being easy and convenient to do so.
Any delay in recovery — even by minutes — raises valid concerns about tampering, and validity of any recovered data. From multiple angles and multiple parties (including the White House, and the Chinese government who was given advanced notice that it would be shot down).
Did the fact that Democrat authorities were compromised by the Chinese government have any impact on any of this?
The Biden family has received tremendous amounts of money from China. As have other Democrat officials. Multiple Democrat politicians have had close ties to Chinese spies — with at least one prominent Democrat politician (who was previously on the Intel committee) known to have had an affair with a Chinese Spy.
None of those facts above are even disputed by any Democrat.
To say that Democrats, in general, are compromised by the Chinese government is not even a small stretch. It is simply the obvious reality.
Did any of this influence Biden’s decision to keep the balloon a secret and to allow it to have full, unfettered access to the country… only shooting it down after it had, in theory, completed its mission?
So many questions. But we aren’t likely to get any (verifiable) answers.
More likely than not, over the coming days, we will be given a series of facts and answers… none of which will make sense. And none of which will be able to be verified in any real way.
