Chinese Spy Balloon Revelations Leave us With Two Scary Scenarios

Conservative News DailyFebruary 8, 2023

We are left with another news cycle, which provides only a small amount of information similar to past and current administrations’ docudramas. Our Department of Defense is providing valuable information about alleged Chinese spy balloon incursions in the past.

The information we are receiving raises more questions than it answers. It seems that delaying the capture of the spy balloon was a wise decision. This allowed our government to gain valuable intelligence about our nearest-peer enemy.

But, can we really believe the DOD? Can we really trust the DOD to provide all the intelligence and produce any value?

Remember how the Biden regime, and their media propagandists, lied about the 3 Chinese spy ballons that were placed over the USA during Trump’s presidency?

– that’s why when these traitors talk about Russia and China propaganda, I can’ t stop laughing.

They are just as awful.

Talk about Biffing it

It is not the first time that a floating Chinese eye has invaded our airspace. We just found out that this happened three more times under the Trump administration. General Glen VanHerck (Commander of the North American Aerospace Defense Command, NORAD) admitted to his mistakes.

“I will tell you that we did not detect those threats, and that’s a domain awareness gap that we have to figure out,” Gen. VanHerck admitted.

That’s an understatement; what is Gen. VanHerck’s job?

According To the General “As the NORAD commander, it’s my responsibility to detect threats to North America.”

What a bang-up job you’re doing! There isn’t much accountability at NORAD. They might be too busy tracking Santa Claus as he delivers gifts for all the children. How did the balloons get there?

“The intel community, after the fact, made us aware of those balloons that were previously approaching North America or transited North America,” Gen. VanHerck.

Ah yes, that intelligence community is transparent and honest.

Just recently, the US commander for the North American Region admitted that even though we have spent $13.34 trillion in military spending from 2000 to 2019, it is difficult to detect when giant balloons enter US Airspace.https://t.co/FrW9qZYjx6″>pic.twitter.com/FrW9qZYjx6

Fake News

One day, I would like to be an ‘unnamed’ source because I feel a bit out of place given the number of people who are running around the beltway. A U.S. official said that when we realized the spy balloons in question were Chinese spy planes, we decided to keep it secret so China wouldn’t know how we did it.

It’s amazing! How does that work for us? We look incredibly unprepared and absurd, I would argue.

John Kirby, National Security Council spokesperson said, “I can’t speak to the information flow in the previous administration. I can tell you that we have reached out to key officials from the previous administration and offered them briefings on the forensics that we did. And we expressed our willingness to walk them through what we learned.”

It’s so generous of you to offer this assistance. The former President isn’t buying this narrative, and I don’t think we should be either.

Topping onto Truth Social, former President Trump Post “Now they are putting out that a balloon was put up by China during the Trump Administration, in order to take the ‘heat’ off the slow moving Biden fools.”

He also claimed that the rumors about three additional balloons were true. ‘disinformation.’ This is how the Biden administration created this whole bogus balloon brouhaha.

They deceivedly leaked classified information on background to justify their failures. Caught, they now ‘fess up and plead honest mistake. Take a deep breath. pic.twitter.com/0JZ5hLcxSD

Drama with Five Sides

Yesterday, Newt Gingrich (ex-Speaker of the House) appeared on Fox News to drop some serious truth bombs. First, Mr. Gingrich highlighted The timeline for this latest balloon gaffe seems a little off.

“When the military learned about it, apparently there’s a three or four-day period where they don’t tell the president,” Gingrich.

That seems odd; you’d think that would be something you’d tell the president unless the president has the mental acuity of a five-year-old. If he doesn’t have the mental ability to handle a balloon, then you may not want to upset him.

Some whispers have suggested that Uncle Joe had instructed the military to shoot down the spy balloon when he was finally informed. However, this was not done and Mr. Gingrich gave him the nickname of ‘Suggester in Chief’ versus Commander In Chief

“This is just one more example of a bloated Pentagon bureaucracy that’s more worried about being dealing with social issues than it is about defending the United States,” He said.

Now he’s speaking my language. Gingrich goes on to go through the Pentagon’s recent highlight reel, stating “From Afghanistan on, we have seen failure after failure, and the Pentagon needs a deep, thorough shake up.”

Dare I say Newt suggests that the Department of Defense may be suffering from deep rot?

If it’s true the Pentagon purposely did NOT tell President Trump of Chinese Spy Balloons during his administration then we had a serious breach in command during the Trump admin.

The Commander in Chief is the President of the United States.

We must investigate and hold those responsible for breaking rank accountable.

Unanswered Questions

Let’s take a spell to lay out some of these paradoxes with this balloon buffoonery:

President Biden wasn’t notified right away
According to the DOD, they ‘missed’ 3 balloons before this one
Trump’s administration was not informed about any previously missed balloons
China launched this huge balloon, which could be clearly seen by the naked eye.
China can spy more on us than the United States.

So let’s dissect this idea that, as Mr. Trump alleges and some of his former appointees, the previous three balloons narrative is disinformation or, simply, a lie. This would mean that not only the Biden government is in on the alleged lie, but also the military intelligence community.

Now if that’s not enough to make you feel like you live in a simulated democracy, let’s dissect the idea that the three balloons did happen. The following questions are important, but not exhaustive:

We are just now learning about this failing.
Why didn’t the Trump administration know of the failure?
Why didn’t we detect the spy balloons before?
What have you done to stop this massive failure?

These answers will never come. Doubtful.

My final thought for you – at best, our government is lying about a near peer’s espionage efforts. At its worst, our government is incompetent. They are hiding it from both the American people (and the people we elected to office). Take a moment to think about it and then try to get some sleep tonight.

Who is in control? I can tell you it’s pretty clear it’s not the President, either past or present, but those military and defense bureaucrats who think they know better and prefer to advance their own agendas than serving and protecting.
