“The U.S. military has been monitoring a suspected Chinese surveillance balloon that has been hovering over the northern U.S. for the past few days,” NBC reported. “Military and defense leaders have discussed shooting it out of the sky, according to two U.S. officials and a senior defense official.”
Why didn’t officials inform the public when it crossed into U.S. airspace? And why did the US military shoot the Chinese spy apparatus after it completed its mission, not before?
Even more troubling is why the Chinese would have a surveillance balloon over Montana in the first place, considering Beijing’s advanced satellites in low-earth orbit that provide all the bird’s eye images they need. Are they sending a message before Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s visit to the Chinese capital next week? Is espionage through TikTok not enough? We might not have ever known about the balloon had the press not snapped a photo of it.

White House KNEW About the Chinese Spy Balloon and Covered It up
By: Robert Spencer, February 5, 2023:
How cowardly and compromised is the Biden regime? We have fresh evidence of just how bad it is, courtesy of the Chinese spy balloon. The world found out about the now-infamous balloon on Thursday, when a Montana resident named Chase Doak spotted it and posted a video. But that was not the first that Old Joe Biden’s handlers heard of the balloon. Now it has come to light that they knew about it all along but kept the knowledge secret so as to avoid a confrontation with the Chinese Communist Party and keep Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s now-canceled trip to Beijing on track. Patriots can thank Chase Doak for the small show of spine from the Biden State Department that the cancellation represented.
“Not gonna lie,” Doak tweeted with his video. “First, I thought this was a #ufo. Then, I thought it was @elonmusk in a Wizard of Oz cosplay scenario. But it was just a run-of-the mill Chinese spy balloon!” But Bloomberg revealed in a bombshell report Friday that “as it turns out, US authorities were well aware of the unidentified object that had entered American airspace on Jan. 28, that had then left and re-entered over North Idaho on Tuesday.” But Blinken was slated to huddle with the ChiComs in Beijing, and Old Joe and his henchmen didn’t want to let something as trivial as what J. Michael Waller of the Center for Security Policy terms “China’s military espionage incursion into the US” get in the way of a friendly tête-à-tête in the Forbidden City.
In fact, Biden had already been informed about the spy balloon long before Chase Doak spotted it, and his handlers were holding nervous discussions about whether or not to shoot it down. Yet Blinken thundered Friday that China’s decision to launch the spy balloon was an “irresponsible act” that represented a “clear violation of U.S. sovereignty and international law.” He added that China’s “decision to take this action on the eve of my planned visit is detrimental to the substantive discussions that we were prepared to have.”
As it turns out, this was all an act, a bit of shameless and dishonest posturing from what must be the most dishonest administration the American people have ever had to endure. When he struck this pose of moral indignation over China’s “decision to take this action on the eve of my planned visit,” Blinken actually had planned just days before to go ahead with his visit even though he knew all about the Chinese spy balloon.
Blinken also knew that the thing was likely hovering over Montana because Malmstrom Air Force Base, where a large number of the U.S.’s Minuteman intercontinental ballistic missiles are located, is there. Nonetheless, Biden’s handlers didn’t dare to do anything that might be perceived as taking a hard line on China, and Blinken’s trip was going to go on as if all were well. That is, until Chase Doak entered the picture.

If there is anyone I distrust so much-they should be dead: the top of the list is Joe fucking Biden.
Impeachment, even if enough dem and rino senators died off, is not enough, treason is a capital offense.
Treason used to be punishable by death. Unfortunately they got rid of the punishment or they just do not enforce it. If Bergdahl was in WWII, he would have been shot on the spot. There would have been no trial.
Well said. Under pathetic, weak and cowardly leadership the United States is now just a gutless country. What was the point? They shot down the balloon after it completed its spying mission – after the Canadians and U.S. were too gutless to shoot it down when it entered U.S. and Canadian airspace! If they had shot it down over land they could have analyzed the bits of parts, but no, they so bravely shot it down over sea. This was probably deliberate so as not to upset China. I, a South African who travelled the U.S. widely, used to like and respect the U.S. Now I consider it a bad joke. You can’t even find a couple of decent assassins.
Rob – good to see a post from you again. The person responsible for this debacle is – hold the phone – the Balloon Buffoon, NO POP JOE.
Who is responsible ultimately? The reprobate American voter, who votes for “leadership” like Joe, Pelosi, Schumer and Budagieg – expecting something in return, that is, largesse – and not for life, liberty and the pursuit of Godly behavior. And – “because my old man always voted Demoncrat (or RINO)”, so I keep the tradition alive!
Through poor voting choices, America has cancelled its respectability worldwide. We are so far gone that if Russia or China decides to finish the job, all they will have to do is “mop up”. Thanks.
… And then shot it down over the Atlantic so it couldn’t be examined by Americans.
The govt hides everything that is detrimental to the US and it’s citizens.
China says shooting down their wayward gas bag was “a clear overreaction.”
China is so full of crap, I mean as a country and as a society and as a ghetto sh*t hole.
I think President Xi should start hooking up with KJP, since they seem to have such a natural instinct for gaslighting in common. And Mrs. Xi can have “obama.”Don’t you think so, President Xi? LOL!!! China is the original sh*t hole nation. Like the Africa of the Orient.
They did not know about it or they would never have scrambled two F22’s to check it out. They were clueless.
Da Chinks were just checkin’ Fentanyl trails for future importation …
White House too busy trying to blame Trump….”they did it too”! What a pathetic bunch, and corrupt to the bone,
Mr. Doak can now expect many letters from the IRS and midnight knocks on the door from the FBI swat teams. Thank you Mr. Doak you are a real American.
