Don’t Let China Turn Space Into The New South China Sea
19FortyFive ^ | 8/4/2021 | RET Maj Gen. A Bowen Ballard

Posted on 08/05/2021 5:41:24 AM PDT by Onthebrink

China possesses high-energy lasers that, right now, can put at risk U.S. military satellites as well as anti-satellite missiles; the PLA has hacker units that can discombobulate some satellites. In fact, China has practiced doing so. Its military doctrine calls for disrupting U.S. communications as a first move in any strike. It is classic asymmetrical warfare. (By the way, Vladimir Putin in his latest annual state of the nation address warned that “asymmetric, fast, and tough” would be Russia’s response in any conflict). The Chinese don’t play by Marquess of Queensberry rules either.

Yeah sure, if this was true, they would’ve never fired Colonel Lohmier at space force for for politely reporting communist constitution hating training he was forced to endure. He was a high performing quality officer. The threat can’t be all -that- bad if they can afford to jettison w man like him.

Trump tried to make us a stronger country but the elites of both parties had other priorities, sympathies and interests. Our national security was not very high on their list.

About RET (2002) Maj Gen. A Bowen Ballard, some background:

From https://legalschnauzer.blogspot.com/2012/08/siegelman-prosecution-has-ties-to-911.html

“Mohamed Atta, who is believed to have flown American Airlines Flight 11 into the North Tower of the World Trade Center, was among the Saudi, Egyptian, and Iranian pilots trained at **Maxwell**. Part of Atta’s training came under the auspices of Doss Aviation, a Colorado company that was owned in part by an Alabama lawyer and entrepreneur named Mark Fuller. President George W. Bush appointed Fuller to the federal bench in 2002 ...

“... Maj. Gen. A. Bowen Ballard, who was assistant to the commander of the Air University at Maxwell, ***assisted in the training of Saudi pilots**. As a civilian, Ballard has worked in real estate and banking, and his **ties to the Bush family** reportedly date to at least 1972.”

In other words, Ballard was at Maxwell training Ata and others for the 9/11 attacks and is a Bush Republican

It was government policy to help them.

The Clintons sold them the technology to make intercontinental rockets, and their space efforts.

It started with Nixon, and it has been part of globalist policy to build them up for over 40 years.

The ruling elites have been bought and paid for by the CCP, from Biden on down.

We have the wrong guy in the White House if that's truly our hope.

Contrast: REAGAN DENOUNCES IDEOLOGY OF SOVIET AS 'FOCUS OF EVIL' - https://www.nytimes.com/1983/03/09/us/reagan-denounces-ideology-of-soviet-as-focus-of-evil.html

Elaine Sciolino Nov. 19, 1993: In a good-will gesture toward China, the Clinton Administration has agreed to sell it a sophisticated $8 million supercomputer, senior Administration officials said today. The decision is part of the Administration's strategy to embrace rather than isolate China despite disagreements over human rights, weapons proliferation and trade.

Even more significant for American business, the Administration has also decided to lift the ban on important components for China's nuclear power plants, like generators, senior Commerce Department officials said. ...But the decision to go forward with the supercomputer sale is strategically more important because it signals the Administration's willingness to sell high-technology equipment to Beijing.

The Administration decided to allow the sale despite clear evidence that China has broken its promises to Washington by exporting M-11 missile components and technology to Pakistan.

Although there has never been a statutory ban on the supercomputer sale, the Bush Administration postponed the sale last December after intelligence reports showed that China had exported the M-11 technology. But in the final days of his Administration, Mr. Bush overruled the Defense Department and ordered the approval of a license pending necessary processing. - https://www.nytimes.com/1993/11/19/world/us-will-allow-computer-sale-to-court-china.html

The leadership of the US is them. The CCP resides in the White House and throughout the institutional US.
