A Pearl Harbor like attack perhaps? Are other Chinese embassies burning stuff? They will hit the internet first and the power grid first become the bombs start to fall. We are so divided they could win this one—Blame it on Trump and half the people in the USA will be on their side!

Maybe related to this from yesterday:

https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndca/pr/visiting-stanford-university-researcher-charged-visa-fraud

which includes:
“The affidavit alleges that one of the recovered documents was a letter from Song to the Chinese Consulate in New York, which explained that she was extending her time in the United States for another year, and wrote that her stated employer, Beijing Xi Diaoyutai Hospital, is a false front, and that, as a result, she had obtained approval for her extension from the PLA Air Force and FMMU.”

Lots of biology/medical research done in Houston area. Maybe Chicom diplomats are burning fraudulent visa evidence, such as those in the Stanford case.

They are probably burning their proof that they have bought US politicians, lobbyists, and aids so that those people know that they do not have to cut any deals with prosecutors.

They used a linear shredder. Those don’t work to destroy docs. The Iranians pieced the strips together and used them to track down embassy employees. We know what happened then.

Cross cut shredders or chippers were invented to remedy that problem.

If the chicoms are doing this burning they are sending a message. There are better ways than burning. Lots of sabre rattling going on around the world right now.

Inside burning would set off sprinklers and alarms. So an outdoor burn makes sense.

However in the event there is war, all restrictions are off. We do what we need to do.

We do what we need to do with the understanding that there are American consulates in China where Americans work.

"Do unto others..." has a whole different meaning when we realize that our own are in a similar boat. And once we start removing "restrictions", then we understand that they may remove "restrictions" as well.

Consulates dont do impending military ops. Even an embassy would be unlikely to have advance notice because they are never secure from snooping.

WHY Houston??! This is NO place to be starting a war in. We’ve got enough problems with crazy drivers, big rigs, road rage, liberal city leaders and low riding cruisers. We don’t need some kind of war machines going up and down the 610 Loop.
Take your war someplace else. We’re full of destruction and misery already.

Clinton used hammer, Lois Lerner had hard dive crash (I think)...burning is a new one, sort of acting like they’re a protestor of something

THIS. Diplomatic Immunity protects our Diplomats in China and around the world.

What if it is related to some impending military action?


Pearl Harbor 2.0? Probably just getting ready to bug out and close the consulate.

I’m not sure either. It’s something definitely fishy. The public display of burning them is definitely Something worth watching. I doubt they only have one paper shredder in that building that could destroy those documents or some more secluded space where they could burn them in smaller quantities to avoid anyone noticing, so something is definitely going on.

Isn’t that considered Chinese sovereign territory? If so, they can burn all they want and the Houston FD can’t come in unless invited.

10 pm at Hansom on a Tuesday night. Lots of activity? Strange.

I heard a giant meteor smashed into Peking and released a nest of Murder Hornets.
