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.”

Invasive plants, you mean like:
Japanese knotweed. Take years to kill off, spreads like a wildfire via DEEP UNDERGROUND rooting and seeds/spores.
It is. RoundUp or an equivalent works, from what I read. Gonna have to begin this Fall.
The woods are full of it, so it creeps out onto occupied properties.
OTOH, We wear high rubber boots in the woods and it will deter anyone using the cover to creepy-crawl homesteads, IMO.
Where are the reports of people immediately DROPPING DEAD?
I think it is just “fraud”. You ordered jewelry, they sent you seeds.
My wife (and many others) ordered a lounge chair. Instead they got a SMALL foam pad for sitting on the ground. “Bait and switch”, classic.
NOT Ebola! (especially since we could trace it right back to who sent it.)
Don’t plant the beans Jack
I use a product called Compare-N-Save 41-percent Glyphosate Concentrate Grass and Weed Killer.
It works great, however, my neighbors do not take care of the back part of their property so I have to fight back with this spray once a month.
Be on the lookout for this. The weird seed packets from China have now also been received by people in the UK. The package containing the seeds has Chinese writing on it and is usually said to contain “jewelry”. If you receive any package from China or with Chinese characters on it, do not open it. Contact the USDA.
I would hope that somebody is analyzing the seeds, including their packaging. Could be another attack, which would be strong inspiration to blow the 3G dam for them.
Round Up won’t do the trick?
My 41-percent Glyphosate Concentrate Grass and Weed Killer will do the job. It is the strongest that you can get without being a commercial Ag. person.
I will bet that Monsanto and the Chinese government have been working on this for years. Monsanto will license it and make money for making and killing it.
The Chinese will benefit when Biden gets into office and then will never ever have to worry about this kind of problem.
We actually order seeds back in April because our local suppliers were out. They never came and Amazon gave us a refund. These same seeds arrived here a few weeks ago without Amazon letting us know or verifying the delivery. They are in the “to be burned’ bag.
