China already ‘engaging in irregular war’ with US in the ‘grey zone’

“National security leaders should look closely at what Chinese officials’ words and China’s military actions say about how the People’s Liberation Army might actually fight a war,” a US military academy analysis warns.

They say it’s a war already well under way. That means the start of any ‘conventional’ conflict will be murky and confused. And, even once the shooting starts, sowing doubt and disbelief will be a significant weapon in its arsenal.

And all will serve to pave the way for the People’s Liberation Army’s more traditional weapons to find its target.

They already launched an attack. It was their China Virus.

Two actually, biological and chemical. The virus is the biological attack, fentanyl is the chemical attack, killing thousands every year. I saw an article not long ago claiming that now China is sending the components to Mexico, and the fentanyl is actually manufactured there, instead of coming directly from China.

Plus the informaiton warfare, that’s what stealing our intellectual property is about, then there are the spies in our government. We only know about a couple of those. If Feinstein’s driver managed to stay incognito for 20 years, how many others have been here for who knows how long?

Every country in the world tries to spy on every other country in the world, that is a fact we have to accept, and most people should try to understand. They are going to spy on us, period, we better be good or get good at catching them. We’re spying on them too.

The lengths they go to are amazing. I have a book about it. One fellow stationed in Germany, originally from England I think, used some pretty ingenious methods to hide his equipment. Small film camera called a Minox, used 35mm film split in half to 17mm, had a chain on it with two beads. The first was the point at which it would focus on a full sheet of typewriter paper, the second was the point at which it would grab a shot of a full sheet of legal paper. Used by spies all over the world.

He put together a long string with a washer on it, which he would tie to the camera, then raise the suspended ceiling tile a bit and lower it down into the wall space, then drop the washer in behind it. When he needed to use it, he would drop a magnet on a string down into the wall and grab the washer, and pull the camera up.

Without an X Ray machine, the locals could search his apartment all week and never find a thing, at least not without tearing the place apart.

When he was suddenly called back home, he had 2 rolls of exposed film containing documents he had copied, but hadn’t yet had a chance to take to a “drop” to be sent home. So he bought 3 large chocolate bars, made a mold to match it, melted 2 chocolate bars and molded them back into shape with film inside the chcocolate. At the airport he and his wife found out they could only leave with 2 bars, customs rules, so they decided they would eat one there and did. They got lucky, they chose the one with no film inside.

That’s the kind of thing they come up with to hide information they steal and sneak out of the country. Discovery is not a good thing, usually at least 20 years in prison. Prison is not fun in some countries. Stakes are high, but it still goes on each and every day.

I learned a little about it when I was repairing optical equipment for the military, I had to have a secret security clearance to get into the school, they also taught periscope repair. The only things I can still tell you about a periscope right now, 40 years later, is that they have a compass, a reticle (crosshairs) and come up out of the floor. You can see that in movies. I can be sent to prison right now if I tell you what company manufactured the lenses used in our periscopes in 1975. Just a company name.

And every country in the world would love to have info abut our periscopes, at that time the world’s best. All they would have to do is put someone on a barstool next to you and start up a typical innocent conversation. After 5 minutes, Oh, you work on periscopes? That’s interesting, I always wondered how they work...if you’ve had one too many and are not careful, you just gave a spy a lot of info. And you would never know it.

Many countries, especially the larger ones like russia and China, spend years training a person to BE an American. You cannot tell english is not his native language. You can talk to him all day and never figure out his back story is totally made up out of whole cloth. He was born in China, or russia, not Memphis. He’s never seen Memphis, much less went to school there. except in his training. But later, the person would be sent there to learn their way around, know where local landmarks are, even down to street level. Name a neighborhood, he might actually be able to tell you which part of town it’s in. If he says he went to a specific school, he can name the school principal.

Their training is amazing, and they are trained to fool anyone. I was always very careful. Any time anyone asked me about anything concerning optics, which was not often, my standard reply was it’s all classified, sorry. Even my best friend. Sorry, its classified. Even pertaining to info that was not classified, like what is the magnification of our binoculars. I’d just claim everything was classified to avoid any conversation at all about it. That’s why I know hillary should be in prison right now. I signed a non-disclosure form too. But I wasn’t secretary of state, getting my hands on above top secret info.

And China has people in our country right now, this minute, with that level of training, trying to get info from anyone they think might have it. And they know before they get here who a lot of those people are. Ditto for russia, england, france, viet nam, korea, iran, virtually every country you can think of, especially if they have a diplomat in DC.

And some of our government pinheads are very friendly with china...that is scary.
