BREAKING: China responds to US claims that it is flying a spy balloon over Montana. | |

 User ID: 82392259  United States02/03/2023 07:17 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | China claims it's a weather balloon. Quoting: ~Jazzy~ It has steering capabilities. US says it's a spy balloon and has a payload. It's been over the US for days unhindered. Pentagon says it has spent days over 'sensitive sites'. And they're letting it continue across the US UNIMPEDED. So, either they know exactly what's on it & helped it get here, in which case that makes them traitors up to no good or this admin is the biggest gang of cowards on the planet. Either way, the American people are fucked. If we get EMP’d it was the Biden admin 100% IDGAF |

User ID: 80575894 United States02/04/2023 03:59 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: BFD Yup. I said earlier after the Pentagon conference that my only reasonable conclusion was that the Pentagon is working with or taking orders from the Chinese Communist Party. Yep. The evidence just keeps piling up and the maddening part is that they don't care. Take a good look at that "payload" in the pics we've seen. Does it LOOK like it could steer that thing, let alone contain something sinister? Without ducted fans [and where would the power source for those be?], the best you can do to steer a balloon would be with remote-controlled rudders to influence the wind and they'd have to be on at least three sides of that balloon to be effective... otherwise it's at the mercy of the wind currents themselves. That "payload" actually looks like a directional antennae that may provide a data uplink to an orbiting satellite but right now all we have is the government's -and MSM- claims this is spy bird... and neither one of those is worth much more than a wet roll of toilet paper. Next, take a look at genuine surveillance arrays on other balloons; again they look nothing like what is on this one. I'm not buying the DOD official story for one single second, but it does appear to me that maybe -just maybe- the Chinese are telling the truth for once. I might believe that except for one thing: Canada said there is one identical to it over their territory. Did their weather balloon have a balloon baby when it stopped over Montana for hours? Saw a post earlier that Canada claims the equipment was intercepting radio communications of one of their AFBs. One thing that stuck out to me in the China response was these baloons were "mostly meteorological" in function. MOSTLY. So yeah, they're probably being honest, but not being forthcoming in all the details. Conflict with China is definately in the cards but not in the immediate future. Right now we're China's cash cow and on their end, they're gonna milk that for all it's worth as long as they can. Baloon most definately has some kind of surveillance equipment on board, but weaponized equipment? Very unlikely. My bet is it gets brought down as soon as it crosses the coastline and recovered for analysis. So to keep with the GLP vibe, "two more weeks" before anything comes of this. "Tempus Fugit" |

Seriously. It looks like it is a donated balloon from Google's abandoned Project Loon. Look it up. I swear. I think we are being played and the Chinese admission was probably a deep fake.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 84424796 https://twitter.com/_/status/1621518543107035136 Do you really believe that, and why? I do, because simple logic demands it. There is absolutely no reason for the Chinese to use something as blatantly obvious as a balloon you can clock with a pair of decent binoculars. Releasing a battery of mini-drones from the service entrance to Chang's Chow Mein Palace in Billings makes just as much sense and could covertly gather data. This entire story reeks of public manipulation and I for one am tired of being played for a fool by both the feds and the MSM. We're all being primed for a direct conflict with China because our puppeteering attempts in the Ukraine have been an utter failure so now we're fishing in a different pond with the same lousy bait. But, I'm not biting. Last Edited by GSB/LTD on 02/04/2023 11:43 AM |

That is not a spy balloon. It is a prototype of a Star Wars Death Star modelled on the Space Probe From Orion called mistakenly by westerners as NeeBeeru ( or is it Nibiru? ). Our Alien Progenitors Of The Oriental Race has instructed the Chinese Government to construct millions of such small Death Stars As A Retaliation due to the American Anglo Saxon Blackops in the form of SARS, Swine Flu and SARS COV-2 to degrade Oriental genetics. These Death Stars Will Be Activated Once The diabolical American Anglo Saxon Axis Of Evil Crosses The Red Line. Please Be Warned. There Will Be Consequences For Your Belligerence And Recalcitrance. |
