The Biden administration tried to cover up China’s espionage. It was only discovered because of a viral video out of Montana. Once the scandal broke, the Biden administration put on a show of “taking it seriously.”
Since then it’s been confirmed that it was staged for the benefit of the American public.
While the State Department signaled U.S. displeasure over the balloon by postponing Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s scheduled visit to Beijing, an internal State Department message reviewed by Reuters shows senior U.S. officials delaying planned actions against China.
Rick Waters, deputy assistant secretary of State for China and Taiwan who leads the China House policy division, said in a Feb. 6 email to staff that has not been previously reported: “Guidance from S (Secretary of State) is to push non-balloon actions to the right so we can focus on symmetric and calibrated response. We can revisit other actions in a few weeks.”…
In late March, Waters told a staff meeting that the State Department would “move on” from the balloon incident with China, following guidance from Sherman who was eager to reschedule the Blinken trip, two of the sources said…
Now, Biden is saying the quiet part out loud.
“How will you manage the diplomatic relationship with China?” a reporter asked in the early morning briefing.
“Well, number one, you’re right. We should have an open line [of communications]. With the Bali conference that’s what President Xi and I agreed that we were going to do and meet on,” Biden responded. “And then this silly balloon that was carrying two free cars worth of spy equipment was flying over the United States, and it got shut down and changed in terms of talking to one another.”
“I think you’re going to see that again though very shortly,” he added.
Sure. The diplomatic relationship with China is managed by Bejing saying, “Jump” and Biden sending emissaries to carefully negotiate how high he will be expected to leap. After several weeks, China finally agrees to state the exact height of the jump as a non-negotiable set of statements.
But contrast this moment of relative honesty from Biden with his previous butch address and posturing about the spy balloon. It was all lie. Like everything else.
The only question is when Biden next heads to China, will Hunter be hitching a ride?
Ugly Sid says
Biden is being remunerated under the State of Completion Model.
He assures us he is on the verge of “finishing the job.”
Then we’ll have nothing to worry about.
LongTimeTexan says
Finishing the job of destroying our Constitution and country.
Beez says
“Finishing the job.” Translation: Finishing the country. That was just too easy. Low hanging fruit.
Chinese cOMMUNISTS says
The Obama/Obidung Regime let the CCP plot and surveil all important military and logistical positions all across America.This was planned and paid for by the Chinese with the Obama/Obidung’s blessings.Obidung
has done well to please his masters.If this act of complete treason were done by President Trump, he would have been hog-tied and shackled and sent to some DARK SITE for interrogation.
We must rid ourselves of All Communist facilitators.
Jeff Bargholz says
“Obidung.” That’s a good one. Thanks for the laugh you gave me. 🙂
Kasandra says
China seems to be getting a lot for its money. That’s for sure.
Raymond in DC says
We spent over a Trillion dollars in Afghanistan and only got a large cohort of unvetted refugees for our troubles. China invested minimally, but got the Baghram airbase and first dibs on mining rights.
Kasandra says
Don’t forget the ton of electronic intelligence they harvested with their “silly balloon” while Biden either dithered or deliberately let it do so. Those are the only two explanations possible.
Algorithmic Analyst says
I’ve been wondering why the ChiComs bother sending a balloon over us. But after watching some videos this morning about WW2 U-Boat detection technology it got me thinking, maybe they have some new technology they are using.
Jeff Bargholz says
The Chicom scum wouldn’t have dared to attempt it when Trump was President, that’s for sure. And they’re so foolish, they think they can rule the world. NO COUNTRY can rule the entire world. I’s impossible. How could the world’s population of eight billion or so be governed by one country?
Raymond in DC says
They don’t need to rule over everyone. Just make it clear that all are subordinate to the interests of the Middle Kingdom.
Jeff Bargholz says
Good luck with that. The Chicoms get most of their money from America.
Ugly Sid says
Uboat detection was pretty straightforward. Civil Air Patrol pilots would cruise over the shallows looking for the shadows of resting boats. The boats rested during the day, at depths that allowed the toilets to work. They never knew they were seen. Four fifths of the U boat crews did not survive the war, including Doenitz’s son.
That’s a lot of dead twenty year-olds.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Thanks Sid! The U-boats had the highest casualty rate of any branch of the service. I wonder how many people know that?
Jeff Bargholz says
I didn’t know it.
I liked that movie, “Das Boot,” though. And “Run Silent, Run Deep” was even better.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Oh, yeah, I watched “Das Boot”, the whole thing.
Ed Cane says
How can Biden still be in office? Why aren’t Gates, Soros and Schwab in prison? Why have we let Fauci get away with mass murder?
Ugly Sid says
Corruption. Biden’s career specialty.
SPURWING PLOVER says
Why did Boden allow that Balloon to cross America from Coast to Coast Before having it Brought Down off South Carolina ? Somethings going on here then meets the eye
Jeff Bargholz says
Beijing Biden is Xi Ping Pong’s bitch. He’s senile as F but he knows who signed many of his paychecks.
ctripps says
The antenna arrays on the balloon were more than just surveillance, they appeared to be geared more for work as an airborne repeater, a cell tower if you will. A system that allows ChiComm boots already on the ground to communicate with each other freely w/out worrying about their wireless comms being monitored. At those altitudes the range would cover a significant part of the US.
This was either a dry run or test for future operations.
I don’t buy the ‘surveillance story’ one bit, and I am sure the FJB administration knew full well what the balloons’ mission was.
Phuck Bidenhard says
Criminal Biden is a complete TRAITOR to the Republic and the people. When is this criminal going to be HANGED for his treason?
Taylor says
Nothing like having Knucklehead Smiff as a President.
Cat says
That was more Obama…..
And please do not insult Knucklehead….at least he was kinda cute for a dummy
Crotte says
Biden is a COMPLETE failure but we have if he is impeached is a word salad imbecile that runs away from everything assigned to her. Talk about the rock and the hard place????????
D3F1ANT says
It’s stunning, how overtly FJB, as an American president, can work for China’s interests against those of the US…and totally get away with it.
Ugly Sid says
That’s why it is a Long March. The CCP has been in business for a century.
David Elstrom says
Of course Prez Lyin’ Biden would dismiss Chinese spying. What do you think the CCP was pay for?
LongTimeTexan says
FJB! FJB! FJB! FJB!
mass55th says
That’s kind of like the FBI and the Clinton Administration calling the first World Trade Center bombers “lone wolves.”
Obama’s Boyfriend says
What does this say about the staff of Foggy Bottom who so courageously sat on their bottoms and said nothing? At State they are all either on someone’s payroll or on their knees.
Anne says
The Chinese are licking their chops, viewing the land, the energy resources, and the natural wealth of the United States, plus military and nuclear sites that they hope to confiscate some day and Biden allowed them to gather all the information. The CCP can’t believe its good fortune.
