Law Enforcement Today recently uncovered a potentially alarming connection between the current Minnesota governor and Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz and the Chinese Communist Party. In an exclusive shared by Alpha News, it is reported that a classified nuclear manual went missing during his tenure in the Nebraska National Guard, raising serious concerns about national security and questions about where his loyalty lies.
The story goes back to September 1995, when Walz’s unit, the 1-168th Field Artillery, upgraded to M109A5 self-propelled howitzers. One of its capabilities was the ability to fire nuclear artillery shells.
A former colleague who served with Walz in the Nebraska National Guard told Alpha News that a classified document, the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) manual detailing the nuclear howitzer’s capabilities, went missing. The soldier, who wishes to remain anonymous due to fear of retaliation, said he would cooperate with the FBI.
When the manual went missing, Walz had just returned from one of his numerous China trips. The source says Walz was one of only a few who had access to the building where the top-secret manual was stored and was “often the only one there.” The source believes Walz stole the SOP manual and then later returned it.
Questioned why the manual was never reported missing before its return, the source said there was frustration over what was believed to be Walz’s “double-dipping” since he was holding a full-time teaching job while also serving “full-time” in the Guard. He said Walz neglected specific key duties, among them recruitment and payroll, so much so that a superior had to investigate. The source said the unit was more focused on those issues, and when the manual eventually was returned, it went unreported. With the benefit of hindsight, the source now says he wishes he addressed the missing manual sooner.
Alpha News contacted the Harris-Walz campaign for comment over the allegations, but no response was received.
At the time the manual went missing, transferring information would have required in-person exchanges since high-speed internet was not yet available, nor were large data storage devices. The former colleague also said that Walz was engaging in “erratic” behavior at the time the manual went missing.
For example, during that time, Walz was pulled over by a Nebraska state trooper driving 96mph in a 55mph zone. The trooper noticed a strong odor of alcohol. Walz failed field sobriety tests and breath tests and was booked into the county jail. Walz’s attorney later said he believed someone was chasing him (Walz).
The incident raised many questions, primarily why would Walz, with no history of alcohol abuse, speed down a Nebraska highway late at night, reeking of alcohol, and claim that someone was chasing after him.
Nobody knows, but rather ironically, China began developing its own version of the howitzer, the PLZ-05, around the same time. This raises the question of whether the missing manual could have contributed to China's development of a similar weapon.
Military sources told Alpha News that the two tanks “share striking similarities, including a longer barrel with a wider firing range and digital fire control.” These similarities raise concerns about the potential transfer of classified information and the implications for national security.
In 1996, Walz relocated to Minnesota and joined the artillery firing battery in St. James, ironically the same year that unit took over the upgraded howitzer, a 1996 field artillery annual report said.
Alpha News contacted the Nebraska National Guard, asking about the missing classified manual, Walz’s frequent China trips, similarities between the National Guard and Chinese versions of the howitzer, and if Walz was ever investigated during his service in Nebraska. No response was received, nor was one received after the same questions were raised with the Minnesota National Guard.
Walz served 24 years in the National Guard, first with Nebraska and then Minnesota, retiring in 2005. During this time, he made numerous trips to China, as reported by Law Enforcement Today recently. Due to the Potential impact of his ties to China and the Chinese Communist Party on his political career, his actions are under increasing scrutiny.
As we reported, Rep. James Comer (R-KY), chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, asked FBI Director Christopher Wray for documents concerning “Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-connected entities and officials Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has engaged and partnered with.” The FBI has not yet responded and missed an August deadline to provide the documents.
"The FBI’s silence regarding Mr. Walz’s documented relations with CCP affiliates is inexcusable,” Comer said, giving the FBI until this past Thursday to respond. It is unknown if that deadline was met.
Comer isn’t the only lawmaker asking questions about Walz’s ties to China. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) recently accused Walz of being a Chinese asset, claiming he is “an example of how Beijing patiently grooms future American leaders.”
Walz’s apparent ties to China go back to 1985 when he briefly transferred to the Texas National Guard and studied at the University of Houston. At the time, Houston also hosted a Chinese consulate. That consulate was closed in 2020 under the Trump administration due to allegations of espionage. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called the consulate “a hub for spying and intellectual property theft.”
Walz was so invested in China that he taught there for a year. On June 4, 1994, Walz got married, with his wife telling a local paper that Walz “wanted to have a date he’ll always remember.” June 4, 1994, was the fifth anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre.
A former student of Walz’s who traveled with him to China on a school trip in 1995 said Walz displayed a strong admiration for China’s communist regime during that trip.
"It was almost a daily revelation of how much he adores the communist regime,” the student, who only went by the name Shad, said. “We’d be buying souvenirs, and Tim was always buying the little red book…and he said he gave them as gifts…I saw him buy at least a dozen on the trip,” Shad said. “It would be like in Germany and buying copies of Mein Kampf.” The Little Red Book is a book of quotations from Mao Zedong, former Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party.
Shad also highlighted similarities between Walz’s messaging and Maoist propaganda, including “the politics of joy” and “unburdened by what has been.” Those have been mentioned as Harris-Walz talking points.
“He’s a Maoist to the core and should not be underestimated,” said Shad. “The snitch hotline [which Walz implemented during the COVID hysteria] in Minnesota is straight out of CCP. Tim Walz is a very bright guy. None of this is by accident," he said. “I’ve been trying to tell people this for 30 years. Nobody wanted to listen.”
Shad isn’t the only one expressing concerns about Walz. Allen Shen, an Army veteran and former Minnesota House candidate, was born in communist China. He draws a parallel between the 2020 dismantling of the Christopher Columbus statue in Minnesota and Mao’s destruction of Chinese temples during the Cultural Revolution.
“Everything about Walz warrants further investigation,” Shen said. “We need to examine his connections with China, understand why he was taking children to China annually, and scrutinize his military service during that period. This situation requires another look.
Shen also believes it is possible Walz may have been specifically targeted by the Chinese communist government.
“It’s possible. Walz once remarked that he would never be treated so well again after his visits to China. Why was he treated so well?”
He also questioned Walz's ability to be away from Guard duties for extended periods of time for his China excursions.
"When I was in the Guard, I couldn’t be away for an extended period without returning for drills. How was he allowed to be absent so often?” Shen asked.
Walz’s campaign has refused repeated requests to answer questions about his service records with the Nebraska and Minnesota National Guards, his frequent trips to China, and the missing classified documents.
They have, however, stated, “Throughout his career, Governor Walz has stood up to the CCP, fought for human rights and democracy, and always put American jobs and manufacturing first.”
They accused the Republican Party of “twisting basic facts and desperately lying to distract from the Trump-Vance agenda,” accusing the Republican ticket of “sending American jobs to China," which the record does not support.
Lizards lay eggs.
“A day that will live in infamy”!...lol
They both look like feeding fish!
Scleral flash.
When the whites at the top of the eyes are seen.
The muscles which reveal the white at the top of the eyes are very rarely used by most people. Usually, their use is only in instances of extreme fear, or extreme rage. They are rarely exercised. If it happens easily and often, it is because those muscles were exercised and used often.
Try it in the mirror. It doesn’t come naturally for most people.
If one encounters someone who flashes the upper sclera in normal and casual communication, BEWARE. This person probably has severe rage issues. You’ll see it very soon and it will be very ugly.
...this concludes this Public Service Announcement
Oh, come on!!! This loser visited china dozens of times. You can’t blame him for taking “gifts” can you???
They’re not missing; they’re in a safe in Beijing.
I thought the M198 used the M199 cannon?
I’m sure the MSM is assiduously researching him about this subject! Guffaw!
The M109 uses the M284 Canon.
I’ve never worked on the 198, but if they weren’t the same, at least the round were ballistically similar.
Ballistically similar means the firing tables for both type were the same as well as the fire control computers (BUCS and BCS.
I recall that much. Plus I believe it extended the range by increasing the Muzzle Velocity. I don’t recall how much. That was 35-40 years ago.
The tubes had to be replaced every 4 or 5 years, after about 2500 rounds.
that is awesome info Z ! Thank you. I tried it, and it freaking hurt lol
