Chinese impersonated Texans to sabotage critical US rare earth minerals plant (Attn To CCP Propaganda)
American Military News ^ | June 29, 2022 | Liz George

Chinese agents pretending to be concerned Texans executed an online disinformation campaign against a company building a rare earth minerals facility in Texas for the Department of Defense, the cybersecurity firm Mandiant revealed on Tuesday. The Pentagon later released a statement confirming Mandiant’s findings.

Mandiant found that agents for a pro-China disinformation campaign used fake social media accounts to cast doubt on Lynas Rare Earth Ltd. and other mining firms in an effort to weaken the rare earth minerals supply chain in the United States and elsewhere.

Mandiant said Chinese actors lied about being local Texans online in order to stir up opposition to Lynas building a rare earth minerals plant in Texas. They used thousands of fake Twitter and Facebook accounts to claim the plant would cause permanent environmental damage, in addition to exposing residents to harmful contamination that could cause cancer, gene mutation and newborn deformities.

This is the TIP OF THE ICEBERG.

CCP agents are embedded in American news media. Here's another recent example:

Recognize we are in a war (Marxist Color Revolution) with CCP and Davos Crowd. War started many years back. You just didn't see it.

They are starting to overplay their hand. Americans are now connecting the dots, seeing their game.

Great Awakening.

Here's how you fight back:

They’re likely inside a propaganda boiler room in the PRC (Communist China).

The entire anti-nuke movement was the 70s version of this, it was just a thin veneer of idiot Americans covering a KGB operation.

Dumb on their part. They could have went to any college and gotten many volunteers to spread this for them.

<>“China is one of the biggest victims of disinformation,” Liu said in an email, according to The Washington Times. “China always opposes the creation and dissemination of disinformation. There are some people and forces in the world who are keen to fabricate rumors, slander and discredit China.”<>

Translation: Yankee dog lie! Yankee dog lie long time! Yankee dog make virus, I mean disinformation.

Can we go back to calling them Gooks yet?

The Americans are...how do you say push-overs in Chinese?

How about 容易的猎物 = easy prey! How about 傻瓜 = fools!

How's this:

美国人很容易成为猎物!= The Americans are easy prey!

美国人是傻子!= The Americans are fools!

“Chinese agents...”

Looks to me that we’re OBSESSED over Russia and not bothering to deal with the REAL ENEMY.

True, but what the Chinese do is ORGANIZE them, which makes them far more powerful.

...anyway, back to bashing Putin.

Changing the laws following WWII to allow non-western immigration has its consequences. Since that is not going to happen can’t we at least ban immigration from enemy nations like mainland China, with no exceptions even for students and business people?

The ChiComs paid good money for the Democrats, an investment they’ve been making since the days of Charlie Trie, if not before.

While I agree, you don't have to be here to be a muckraker on Twitter.

The ChiComs paid good money for Republicans too.

How do you think we go zero import tariffs, $500B YoY trade deficits, off shoring of industry and "free Trade" WITH A COMMUNIST COUNTRY hell bent on world domination?
