Mysterious seed packets from China sent to dozens of people in 3 states, officials say

A strange package has been sent to people in multiple states: random, unidentified seeds from China.

Residents in Washington, Utah and Virginia have received small packages of seeds in the mail that appear to be sent from China, officials said.

“Today we received reports of people receiving seeds in the mail from China that they did not order,” the Washington State Department of Agriculture said Friday. “The seeds are sent in packages usually stating that the contents are jewelry. Unsolicited seeds could be invasive, introduce diseases to local plants, or be harmful to livestock.”

...snippity snip snip...

“Invasive species wreak havoc on the environment, displace or destroy native plants and insects and severely damage crops,” the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services said in a statement Friday. “Taking steps to prevent their introduction is the most effective method of reducing both the risk of invasive species infestations and the cost to control and mitigate those infestations.”

...more snippety for brevity...

In Utah, at least 40 people had received mysterious seeds, Fox 13 reported. It is unclear how many people in Virginia and Washington were mailed a package of seeds, but officials said “several.”

I came across this article in my news aggregator just now, grabbed my attention and piqued my interest. Especially since it was tucked away under the "Odds, Ends, and By The Way..." tab. *Should* this be more concerning than the other "Soft" Stories it was grouped with?

The ChiCom seeds are probably part of Fauci's "Second Wave."

I think China is conducting bio-warfare. First the virus and now the seeds targeting out food supplies.

Some big Chicom ebay/Amazon seller messed up their shipping label program and sent orders to the wrong addresses. This gives a hint to the massive level of customs fraud on goods imported from China.

Still wondering about cell phone video of the asian woman in the walmart months ago rubbing her hands all over keyboards of personal computers on display in the electronics department.

You’d think by now horticulturists would have identified these seeds. Also are all the packages containing the same type of seeds or are there various kinds in different packages? Inquiring minds need to know.

As a student of NBC (Nuclear, Biological & Chemical) warfare many years ago, I am wondering what kind of contaminants may be on the outside of the seed packet and inside of the shipping package?

I forgot about that. Indeed that was most likely an agent spreading the virus.

They could be coated with fentanyl or ebola.

Easy to tell if they are Bull Nettle seeds.

Back during the construction of the federal highway system there was article after article about how all of the top soil in the United States was going to be washed away. Then, some idiot scientist came up with a solution. They had found a plant in the Amazon that grew several feet per day. It would be used to cover the bare soil and save America from being impoverished by progress. This plant was called Kudzu. Mind you, I’m a kid of about ten at this point. I put the paper down and asked my Mom, “What happens when this Kudzu finishes covering all the raw dirt at construction sites?” She answered, “Scientists are mostly idiots.”

My guess is these seeds are something like Kudzu.

And I think you are right.

Kudzu was originally brought in to feed cattle. It grows so fast that it should have been a gold mine. Turns out the cows wouldn’t eat it. The Hiwatt system was a backup plan. It didn’t work either, and now the South is covered with the stuff. My dad, an Army Colonel, called it “mile a minute vine”.

The fraud is the LOW postal rate from China to the US, subsidized by the US Postal Service. You and me!

The good news; Trump is on to this, takes years to change international postal agreements.

And the problem is how do you get rid of them? If you just put them in the trash, where do they end up? Maybe what we should do send about a million Omaha Steak Trial gift packages to ordinary citizens with a note saying they could enjoy food like this if they get rid of their communist leaders.
