”The Balloon Goes Up”

“When the balloon goes up” is military slang for the start of a shooting war. The Chinese Communist Party has literally sent a very large balloon up to collect intelligence over sensitive sites
in the continental United States and the Biden administration’s refusal to shoot it down invites actual hostilities.
 
Presumably, a determination to avoid any unpleasantness on the eve of Secretary of State Tony Blinken’s visit to Beijing next week contributed to Team Biden’s latest act of submissiveness.
But it will only reinforce the CCP’s calculation that it can behave aggressively against us with impunity.
 
Unfortunately, as a powerful Committee on the Present Danger: China webinar yesterday made clear, the Chinese Communists are already at pre-kinetic war with America. Their serial
appeasement by our “captured” leadership elites only intensifies the likelihood of that war becoming a violent one.

SFM Expose - and End - the Military’s Self-Inflicted Wounds

Army Lieutenant Colonel Theresa Long deserves the first Congressional Medal of Honor for non-combat-related heroism under intense “fire.” Together with three other military whistleblowers, she has exposed the extensive, often fatal and intensifying damage being done to our armed forces personnel by so-called COVID-19 “vaccines.”  
Colonel Long recently told Epoch Times that Pentagon data concerning critical groups within the uniformed services has revealed that, “There is a statistically significant increase in death, permanent harm, or severe temporary harm in young healthy fit pilots.” 
The military’s shameful response has been to relieve Dr. Long of her duties and, even worse, to cook the books – altering the evidence to try to conceal its frightening implications for not just the troops, but everyone who has been jabbed.  
Thankfully, Senator Ron Johnson has been helping the whistleblowers, but he – and they – need our support, too.

Budgetary Discipline Requires that Joe Must Go

President Biden’s meeting today with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy will address whether spending constraints are attached to a bill that will raise the U.S. debt ceiling.
The best way to accomplish real budgetary discipline, however, would be to secure the resignation from the presidency of a man who has over five decades in government proven to be an inveterate binge-spender.
Fortunately, the probability of that outcome continues to grow, albeit not because of the harm done by the trillions of dollars he’s added to the liability side of the federal balance sheet.
Rather, as evidence continues to accumulate that Joe and his son Hunter betrayed our country by selling not only access, but state secrets, and congressional inquiries ramp up that could lead to the President’s impeachment, next week’s State of the Union address seems likely to be his last. Thank God.

Prepare for War with the CCP - and Stop Underwriting the Enemy

On Friday, Air Force General Mike Minihan told his subordinates who provide the military with transportation and logistical support to prepare for war with Communist China. The Pentagon says his “comments are not representative of the Department's view on China.”
If true, that’s an indictment of the Biden Defense Department. It ignores the reality that the Chinese Communist Party is mobilizing for violent conflict with us. And we better pray that every U.S. commander is following Gen. Minihan’s lead, not Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s.
Moreover, every American investor and their Wall Street fund managers better be getting our money out of China. After all, it surely won’t be possible once Xi Jinping starts hostilities. Such undisclosed material risk is compounded by the fact that those investments are currently underwriting the CCP’s preparations for violent aggression – and it must stop now.

Gen. Minihan’s This-Is-No-Drill Order

I can’t recall over the past four decades a more important, surprising and needed unclassified directive than the one just issued by Air Force General Mike Minihan. He commands some 100,000 airmen who provide mobility and other vital logistical support to his own and the other armed services. 
With extreme urgency and clarity, Gen. Minihan has directly ordered his subordinates to prepare for war with Communist China. His focus is on taking whatever steps they can to train and operate with a view to deterring and, if necessary, defeating our time’s existential threat to freedom: the Chinese Communist Party. 
The general thinks we have until 2025 to get ready for a Chinese onslaught. Pray that’s not unduly optimistic – and that the rest of our military and political leadership agrees that we must prepare now for war if we have any hope of preventing it.

Pfizeer’s Pandemic 2.0

Undercover Project Veritas video shows a senior pharmaceutical executive blithely describing corporate discussions underway about so-called “directed evolution” of the COVID virus. Evidently, the idea is to pursue profitable new vaccines by anticipating dangerous mutations not yet developed by nature, but that scientists can generate in the laboratory.
Sound familiar?
The trouble is that, as Pfizer’s Jordon Trishton Walker, put it: “You have to be very controlled to make sure that this virus that you mutate doesn’t create something that just goes everywhere. Which, I suspect, is the way that the virus started in Wuhan, to be honest. It makes no sense that this virus popped out of nowhere.”
In short, if you liked Pandemic 1.0 brought to us by Tony Fauci’s partners in “gain-of-function” experiments at China’s Wuhan bio-warfare lab, you’re going to love Pfizer’s Pandemic 2.0.
