Former Chi-Com General’s ‘Morning Star Ranch’ In Texas Has An Airstrip Next To A U.S. Air Force Base

Former Chi-Com General’s ‘Morning Star Ranch’ In Texas Has An Airstrip Next To A U.S. Air Force Base

Should nations let their enemies purchase land within their own borders? You’d likely give a resounding ‘no’ to this question, correct?

And yet, a former Chinese general with alleged ties to Chinese concentration camps recently bought an airstrip in Texas. And this isn’t just some random ranch in the middle of nowhere. It is 200 square miles (130,000 acres) of land between one of the most active Air Force bases in the U.S. and the border of Mexico. As the world is being fear-mongered about “variants,” this is happening right under American noses.  Who is Sun Guangxin?

Sun Guangxin is a former General of the People’s Liberation Army in China. He owns two-thirds of real estate where the Uyghur concentration camps are located in the capital of Xinjiang.  Russia had The Gulag. China has the LAOGAI.

The terrors that take place within the LAOGAI system can be seen and read about on the LAOGAI Research website. The pictures and nightmarish stories within will show you the brutal truth about socialism/communism. 

Why Did Guangxin Purchase Land in the U.S.?

The former Chinese General purchased the land to allegedly build wind farms. The name of the property purchased by the Chinese firm is called the Morning Star Ranch.

Sun Guangxin, who has close ties to the Chinese Communist Party, purchased the land allegedly to build wind farms, Kyle Bass, founder, and principal of Hayman Capital Management and a founding member of the Committee on the Present Danger: China, told Epoch T.V. in a recent interview.

The wind farm project, known as the Blue Hills Wind development, is being managed by G.H. America Energy, the U.S. subsidiary of Sun Guangxin’s Guanghua Energy Company. [source]

Should We Be Concerned About the Morning Star Ranch?

Well. Perhaps, yes.

“You’ve got a former People’s Liberation Army general billionaire who has bought over 130,000 acres of Texan land, including a giant wind farm in an area where there isn’t particularly a lot of wind but happens to be right beside a very sensitive U.S. military installation,” Bass said.[source]

And the Morning Star Ranch has its own airfield. We’re not talking about just some cruddy dirt airstrip for a Cessna, either. We’re talking about a well-maintained, paved runway that’s somewhere in the ballpark of 4000-5000 feet. Current reports indicate that the former General may have expanded to 10,000 feet. The airfield is listed as permanently closed by the FAA (its call sign is TA81), yet it appears to be well-maintained. 

Who Wants a (Reportedly) 10,000-Foot Long Airway in the Middle of Nowhere, Texas?

Or, perhaps a better question: WHY would anyone want an airway of this size in the middle of Nowhere, Texas? Maybe to land a Chinese-130 or Chinese-130J clone? (This size runway could easily accommodate such an aircraft.) We’re talking about a remote ranch with excellent views in all directions. It has ready access to a nearby Air Force pilot training base. And it’s not too far from Mexico.

Let’s Build a Wind Farm Where There’s No Wind!

As I mentioned above, Guangxin allegedly purchased the airstrip to develop a wind farm on the premises. Interestingly, this region of Texas is not known for its high wind volume.

“You’ve got a former People’s Liberation Army general billionaire who has bought over 130,000 acres of Texan land, including a giant wind farm in an area where there isn’t particularly a lot of wind but happens to be right beside a very sensitive U.S. military installation,” Bass said.

” My view and this is my view only, not our country view yet, but my view is the reason that he bought the wind farm and wants to put up 700-foot turbines is he plugs directly into our electric grid.” [source]

Obviously spying on the T-6, T-38 and T-1s at Laughlin. They’ll find out our secrets of how inexperienced pilots fly small planes.

Alleged Mexican cartel members need to take the general on a visit to Pancho’s grave.

Communications are often sent on power lines along with the power.

I do think I’d be thinking solar instead of wind at that location.

Perhaps there should be an “accident”, a bomb could drop right in the middle of the airstrip.

Yep. The airstrip is about 30 miles north of Laughlin AFB.

29°47’23.7”N

100°52’28.1”W

Not exactly “right next door”, but maybe by Texas standards.

Near Laughlin AFB, the same base Obabiden is using to fly crimaliens all over the United States.

"When was the land purchased?"

Not sure when the sale closed, but looks like there was pushback against this purchase back in June 2020, and the "Trump administration" didn't block it.

So sometime between June of 2020 and earlier this year.

Deep in the Heart of Texas, a Chinese Wind Farm Raises Eyebrows
Members of Congress fear Beijing could use the facility for espionage and economic warfare. But the Trump administration is set to let it move forward.

Yup.

Perhaps the private airfield will be used to help "relocate" the foreign nationals invading our country.

They must pay army generals pretty damn well if you can become a billionaire

I knew a old guy who was on MacArturs general staff and he seemed to have a few million, but most of that was in real-estate

I wish I had known I could have billions when I was younger.
I might have picked a different career, maybe

That’s what I was wondering...is this near the base that XiDen is flying all of the illegals out of.

Thanks for confirming.

Wonder if wallmart will be flying tax free merchandise into his airstrip to stock their stores.

More digging. An update to this story, from a few months back:

 

Texas stops Chinese billionaire from building wind farm (May 26th 2021)

A Chinese company is evaluating its options now that Texas lawmakers have passed a bill to block it from building a wind farm in Val Verde County.

The Blue Hills Wind Farm was planned for the Devil's River area about two hundred miles northwest of San Antonio. Trouble shooter Jaie Avila investigates claims it poses a threat to national security and our power grid.

The Morning Star Ranch belongs to Sun Guangxin, a former Chinese military official, who purchased 140-thousand acres with plans to build wind and solar farms.

Property owners and conservationists were the first to raise alarm about the wind farm, saying construction might harm the pristine Devil's River. The also worry allowing a foreign company to connect to the Texas power grid would make it vulnerable.

“There are foreign actors, as we've seen recently with the gas pipeline hack, that have ill intent for our country and our critical infrastructure," said Julie Lewey with the Devil’s River Conservancy.

Those concerns were amplified by China-watchers like Kyle Bass, who recently took a picture of an air strip on Sun's ranch. Bass alleges Sun Guangxin is a former general with ties to the communist party, and his company should not be allowed access to the power grid.

“When you're able to plug directly in you're able to map it, you're also able to upload malware, you can do all kinds of horrible things to our grid," Bass said.

News 4 San Antonio interviewed Stephen Lindsey, a Vice President with GH America, Sun's company that wants to build the wind farm.

Lindsey said the wind farm would not be a threat to the State of Texas. He says he doesn't know if his boss has ties to the communist party, but says Sun is not a former general.

“None of that is true. The chairman of the board of the company held a mid-level rank as an army officer in a motor pool company," Lindsey said.

Lindsey says the wind farm passed security reviews with the federal government and the Department of Defense.

Opponents say GH America wants to put up unusually tall 700-foot wind turbines in an area not particularly known for high winds, and where pilots from Laughlin Air Force Base fly training missions.

State Senator Donna Campbell likens it to a trojan horse China could control to gain access to the power network.

“The Chinese Communist Party believes any China citizen whatever property they have is also their property," Campbell said.

The legislature has now passed the Lone Star Infrastructure Protection Act.

It won't allow companies controlled by China, Russia, Iran or North Korea, or one of their citizens, to tie in to critical power, cyber security, communications, hazardous waste or water treatment facilities.

“The bill serves to protect our critical infrastructure from countries that are hostile to us," Campbell said.

If sun is forced to give up and sell his property, ranchers and conservationists say their battle will continue against other projects encroaching on this unspoiled part of Texas."

Looks like that ACT was passed and signed/enacted on 06/18/2021. All (R) sponsors, no (D)'s.
