TR 296 - Is China Spying on Us?

That's really a stupid question. Just saying.
2

Now you know.

“Look, it’s a bird, it’s a plane, no… it’s a Chinese weather balloon!”

AAAAAAaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!

As Americans everywhere scurry and duck for cover from this ominous threat, as Secretary of State Antony Blinken cancels his trip to China and the war hawks bang the drums shouting, “Shoot it down! Shoot it down!”, I feel compelled to remind you that this is all a bunch of crap. Smoke and mirrors friends, smoke and mirrors.

It’s so damn frustrating how they can just roll out another storyline and all of a sudden people are hopping up and down yipping like a bunch of damn chihuahuas. Rather than take the time to ‘splain the stupidity of all this, I’ll let Jazz Shaw over at HotAir burst the bubble… er, deflate the “balloon-gate” story:

This Chinese balloon(s) story is another pile of hot garbage

“Much like too many stories that have cropped up lately, with Tyre Nichols being only one example, everything we’re being told thus far makes no sense whatsoever. Feel free to call me a conspiracy theorist (though you may need to take a number and stand in line), but there’s got to be more going on here than what we’re hearing.

First of all, China is saying they have “no intention to violate the territory and airspace of any sovereign countries.” So they’re implying that one of their surveillance balloons just accidentally got loose and drifted halfway around the globe and over a state where some of our nuclear silos are located? Nonsense. …

And then there’s the response from the Pentagon. We’re being told they “considered shooting it down but opted not to out of fear the debris could cause injuries.” Really? It’s a balloon. And it was over Montana. How much damage was it going to cause aside from maybe hitting a couple of elk? …

And why would China bother sending balloons that are so easily spotted? They have spy satellites just like we do, if not even better ones. They cross over our country on an hourly basis with cameras that can read the license plate numbers on cars. We do the same to them. Pretty much every advanced country is spying on everyone else.”

Pretty much every advanced country is spying on everyone else.

Well no shit Sherlock.

So what’s really going on here? A few days ago 4-star General Mike Minihan, from the Air Force Air Mobility Command, sent his troops a memo stating, “My gut tells me we will fight [China] in 2025.” Fascinating. And then just days later the Chinese “civilian airship” weather balloon blew half-way around the world to make a splash in American headlines. What an incredible coincidence!

It’s almost as if the whole Evil Russian Tyrant storyline has become boring and they’re getting ready to swap it out with a Mad Chinese Mayhem narrative. “Watch out, they’re just testing us! They’re spying on our missiles! I bet they’re getting ready to invade Taiwan! There’s nothing these crazy Chinese won’t do! Xi’s gone nuts! He’s even worse than Putin!!!”

Cue the record scratch.

Um, let’s get back to reality.

Or try to at least. Let’s just take a brief foray through the headlines, shall we?

Wait… they’re searching Pence’s place now? Haven’t we heard that story before?

Without picking apart any of these headlines, I just want to emphasize that the political establishment is already all hot and heavy about the 2024 election—which means that the media will be wielding its considerable power to manipulate the masses, divide us into factions, and prod us into our respective holding pens in the two-party system. This will provide convenient cover for the rampant political corruption, voter fraud, and election interference conducted by our own government.

Game on.

Meanwhile, the invisible hand of the global cabal will continue to tighten its strangle-hold on humanity, most imminently by choking the life out of the U.S. economy in order to kickoff a cascading series of events that lead to global economic collapse—which is all a prerequisite for the forthcoming global digital currency, which itself is a cornerstone of the Global Digital Government and the New World Order.

Recall from TR 199 - Crushing Public Dissent, published last September:

Today, the CEO of FedEx announced that we are headed into a global recession because of the “macro situation that we’re facing.” In other words, the leader of the largest logistics company in the world is offering us a MUCH bigger picture perspective, and that much bigger picture isn’t pretty.

I would point out that this is not by accident, as the global cabal need to interrupt the global economy in order to usher in a global digital currency as part of the Great Reset. But, it will take time for this to all play out—so stay tuned.

For the record, this “macro situation” has not changed, at least not positively. We’ll get to the bullshit headlines about January’s “record job growth” in a moment, but first, let’s just reflect back a little farther and recall what we learned last July, in TR 162 - Banks, Tanks, & Biden's Blunder:

Make no mistake, this is all part of the Great Reset. Why the economic collapse? Because total control requires a new central currency, what global elites have dubbed Global Digital Currency. All the bankers are in on it, including Fed Chair Jerome Powell, who said just last month:

"Looking forward, rapid changes are taking place in the global monetary system that may affect the international role of the dollar in the future. Most major economies already have or are in the process of developing instant, 24/7 payments.

Our own FedNow service will be coming online in 2023."

As record high inflation continues to destroy the value of the dollar and tumbling markets continue to wipe out retirement accounts, even Vladimir Putin has noted that it appears "some global currencies are committing suicide.”

So there you have it… “some” global currencies are committing suicide, no doubt to accelerate the transition toward Global Digital Currency, and the FedNow service is set to launch this year. But hey, how about those headline, right? The news couldn’t be any better, right? Just look:

And on and on…

What’s the takeaway here? Biden’s economy is BOOMING!! Wow!!! It’s just like he said, the news couldn’t get any better, right? But wait, do you recall the word of the year in 2022? That’s right: GASLIGHTING. This is gaslighting at its finest.

Nevermind about the hundreds of thousands of people who have lost their jobs over the last few months—like the 86,000 tech-sector employees just in January alone. And don’t look at the fact that the labor force participation rate is still lower than when Trump was in office. And I suppose the fact that those headlines are based on an establishment “survey” probably doesn’t need to be mentioned—all that really matters is that BLS has cooked the books to make Biden look good, just in time for the launch of his campaign.

To quote Tyler Durden from the link above:

“And that, dear readers, is how you convert a 2.5 million plunge in jobs into a 517K, market blow-out 9-sigma payrolls beat, which moments ago allowed Biden to brag on TV just how strong his economy truly is...”

Hoorah!

In other news:

Oh, and how about this:

Comedy Central crushes Coldplay with a simple hashtag | Sports Chump

I suppose we could have spent more time talking about China’s regret over sending a spy balloon, like everyone else, but meh… maybe I’m just callous, but I really don’t give a rat’s ass about that. I’d rather talk about how Biden’s newest Intelligence Advisor had an “acute mental health crisis” when Trump got elected in 2016—claiming she couldn’t get out of bed for weeks, would sob spontaneously, and just couldn’t see a way forward. Says Kim Cobb:

“I had to face the fact that there was a veritable tidal wave of people who don't care about climate change and who put personal interest above the body of scientific information I had contributed to.”

Evidently she was able to pull herself together, and now she’s in a prime position, as an intelligence advisor, to make sure that it never happens again. I suppose the fact that she’s mentally unstable and a flaming fanatical environmentalist, and an IPCC globalist hack make her a perfect fit for the current administration.

She’s also a perfect ending to our Friday foray, because I’ve got nothing else to say.

Have a wonderful weekend… and watch out for weather balloons.
