Almost all of our loss of plant species begins with importation on Asian pests. We lost almost all of our Chestnut trees because of a Chinese pest. Now we have Asian horn borers killing trees, wooly aphids, powdery mildew,fire blight, Dutch Elm disease . Most of the problems seem to originate in central Asia. We may lose our Ash,Beech,Elms and Hemlocks in the near future.

Biden allowed a Chinese “spy” ballon to traverse the heartland of America including major agricultural areas. That ballon could have been spreading agricultural bioweapons.

LAST JULY? and we’re just now hearing about this? It’s a good thing Trump won or we would have never heard about it and the Dems would have helped them spread it

They “claim” it’s for research, but how can they explain the research if the fungus isn’t obtainable by legal means, even to universities? Why would they risk prison when a simple purchase request would obtain it legally?

If they write a research paper with data they collected from their use of it, they would be instantly found out and the SWHTF.

I call total BS on the research end of their argument, what good is a post PhD graduate student researching something that would get them arrested when they publish their findings?

I live in Martinsville Indiana, and we had one growing on our levy when we bought our property. Thank GOD the real estate agent recognized it for what it was and called the state to come and remove it for us, we had no idea what that thing was, just another Hoosier plant we didn’t see in Michigan.

Hemlock is growing in our fields as well, I don’t believe that stuff was native here either but I might be wrong.

Have these two swing in front of a federal courthouse. Film it and send it to President Xi. Warn him to never have anybody do that again.

Because their students pay full freight and then some, and, the chicoms donate zillions to the private universities. Just like the arabs and their lovely mohammedan student protestors. You pay the whores (private universities) the top rate, you get the best business practices. Remember, most of these universities top brass, educators and board members hate the USA, so they’re happy to help in its destruction. My two cents.

Almost all of our loss of plant species begins with the importation of Asian pests.

Add to that the fact that many significant flu outbreaks and mutations have originated in East Asia, including China, due to favorable conditions for viral evolution and transmission.

Makes one wonder what is going on in that part of the world.

Why are hundreds of thousands of Chinese spies allowed in this country?
