The Federal Bureau of Investigation certainly seems to know how to target Trump supporters ahead of the November election. He also has a knack for staging pre-dawn raids that shock and frighten the home of a harmless, wizened old man (Roger Stone). But what about defending the homeland from spies working for the main geopolitical enemy?
Critics might say not so much.
A case in point is the story of how the FBI brought charges against five Chinese nationals suspected of spying near a U.S. military base in Michigan. problem?
They waited until the quintet was no longer in custody before taking action.
Of course, this is not to say that this case should not have been a priority. PDS (Putin Derangement Syndrome) aside, China is a country that has the potential to dethrone the United States as world hegemon. Chinese spies are also a known problem. In 2020, it was revealed that Congressman Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) had recruited a Beijing spy named Fangfang into his fold. (He is also accused of having an affair with the glamorous Mata Hari.) And just last month, it was revealed that a Chinese spy was working in the office of Gov. Kathy Hochul (D.N.Y.). Hochul said, “I was really shocked.'' but why?
In 2017, the Chinese government enacted the National Intelligence Law. The measure essentially requires any Chinese citizen or entity to spy for the government upon request.
Fanfang? Chinese fangs are everywhere
Newsweek reported on the incident as follows:
On Wednesday, the FBI announced charges against five Chinese nationals who were students at the University of Michigan at the time of the August 2023 incident. The five people were allegedly arrested near a military facility in Michigan where training was taking place at night. place.
The five have not been charged in connection with the August 2023 incident at Camp Grayling. Instead, a federal criminal complaint accuses them of lying to investigators about their trip and conspiring to delete photos from their cellphones.
The FBI noted in a court filing Tuesday that there have been previous incidents in which Chinese university students took photos of important U.S. defense facilities.
…”The defendants are not in custody. If they come into contact with U.S. authorities, they will be arrested and face these charges,” Gina Baraya, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Detroit, said Wednesday. Ta.
And what are the chances that they will “contact US authorities”? That's probably lower than the odds that the illegal activity unleashed on the United States by the Harris-Biden administration will show up at its court date.
red flag from red china
For more details on this story, the Associated Press reports:
In the summer of 2023, the five were confronted near a lake after midnight by Utah National Guard Sgt. According to the FBI, one of them said, “We're the media (we're sure you're already under suspicion!)” before agreeing to collect their belongings and leave the area.
The FBI learned that the men had booked rooms at a nearby motel a week before they were found outside Camp Grayling, 200 miles (320 kilometers) north of Detroit.
Four months later, one of the men was interviewed by Border Patrol agents at the Detroit airport before traveling to South Korea and China. The FBI said the suspect told investigators he had traveled to northern Michigan “to see shooting stars.”
Well, that would require a visit to the United States. Because in China, dissidents are shot dead, not stars. But given this explanation, and the explanation provided by Fangfang above, perhaps authorities should identify a new red flag: the “Beijing accusation.”
As for Fanfan, he has ties to multiple American politicians, and at least one incident was recorded on surveillance camera. She was having sex with an Ohio mayor when he asked her why she was so into him. She, then a New York Post official, “is said to have replied that she needed to improve her English.” Yes, that's more believable than “all American male poles have Adonis bodies and Hollywood looks.”

Humor aside, this is no laughing matter. In fact, our pseudo-elite is so self-destructive that many wonder what explains their behavior: stupidity or malice (or both)? Commentator Olivia Murray, for example, theorizes about some very dark motives. She suggested that they may be “deliberately facilitating Chinese aggression” and “acting as a blocker and orchestrating a situation where the United States is at a significant disadvantage.”
Note: A more likely explanation is that these pseudo-elites lack patriotism and prioritize power and pocket money. In the words of Upton Sinclair, “It's hard to get someone to understand something if their income depends on something they don't understand.” Understand that the elites are making huge profits from China. Therefore, their motivation to rationally eliminate Beijing's dangers is deep.
Returning to Murray, she later wrote:
Towards the end, here are some friendly notes. In March 2023, Chinese operatives were found to be operating a dangerous, unregistered biological laboratory…just a stone's throw from Lemoore Naval Air Station, another “critical” defense facility in California. . (See Andrea Widberg's commentary on this event here.) The Chinese Communist Party also had/has a network of illegal “police” in the United States to punish dissidents and defectors. He was brought back to his homeland for. Chinese people are pouring across the border, and “Chinese military companies'' are ostensibly lobbying Congress for tens of millions of dollars.
There are others. China, notorious for silencing the tongues of its own people, has actually succeeded in censoring our films here in the United States (yes, really. Click here and here for more information.) BEIJING is also injecting propaganda into our nation's schools through de facto bribery. “Confucius Institute”. And they bully our companies into doing their bidding. The Chinese call this strategy the projection of “soft power.”
And it all works because we are ruled by soft brains, and soft voters make us soft targets.
