For a brief stint, I did volunteer work teaching beginners on how to use computers...this was when Trump was first elected. One such person was telling me how Trump was going to get us in a war and how all wars were started by Republicans, etc etc etc. She had never been on the web, so we brought up a browser and I said "This is where you can read about those things. Let's search on 'American Presidents That Started Wars' and see what we find." The search brought up a bunch of articles. I showed her how to open the ones she wanted, and I left her alone. I didn't say a word, and she stopped talking about it.
I was right! I saw the multi-frequency antennas from the photos that were taken and published. Now they announce they found many multifrequency antennas on it, however, the divers are unable to retrieve any more information because of the cold waters. This spy mission was allowed by Biden as a payback for all the millions he took from them and their election interference that put him in office. The Commie Chinese have Biden on a short leash.
That makes me so angry. People whose only information comes from TV don't know that that is a total lie. That's why he said it; to dupe the uninformed masses.
My deceased MIL believed to her dying day that the Republicans were going to end Medicare and Social Security, so she always voted for the Democrats no matter who they were. That is who Biden is playing to.
Kind of like the old method of lies in blaring headlines but retractions in small print on page 9. Once the lie is out there, it is perpetuated.
Yep! Just like the attorney that makes a statement in court that is objected to and ordered stricken from the record and the jury must disregard, but still has a bearing on the outcome because it raised reasonable doubt in the minds of the jurors.
I listened to an interview with someone purported to be an expert in such things. He claimed the balloon was a signals intelligence gathering device, similar to what @Faye Fox hinted at in her post. He said, like others, that it was a demonstration of the weakness of the Biden regime, as any other president would have shot it down over the Pacific when it was first detected. This guy claimed it was not particularly stealthy and the Chinese designed it that was to ensure the U.S would pick it up. They wanted to see how the government and military would react. They found we would do nothing, and it was only the sighting over Montana by a civilian that prompted any action at all. This "expert" claimed that the balloons could be a platform for EMP, for bioweapons, or for nuclear payloads and could be used as blackmail, and that we had experimented with using balloons as a platform for missile launching some years ago.
I don't understand why "they" keep saying this has been going on for years. Huh?? Then why the hell haven't they put a stop to it? We all know we still wouldn't have heard anything about this unless the civilians in Montana hadn't raised the alarm. Just what the hell is our "national defense system" good for?
I don't believe it has been going on for years. Trump would have certainly been pilloried for letting a balloon pass over the U.S. as Biden did.
Today..... on Fox news The U.S. military shot down an "object" that was flying in territorial waters over Alaska, National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said on Friday afternoon during a White House press briefing. "I can confirm that the Department of Defense was tracking a high altitude object over Alaska airspace in the last 24 hours. The object was flying at an altitude of 40,000 feet and posed a reasonable threat to the safety of civilian flight. Out of an abundance of caution and the recommendation of the Pentagon, President Biden ordered the military to down the object. And they did. And it came in inside our territorial waters," Kirby said.
It apparently was over the arctic, as the airspace over the North Slope (where the oil fields are) was closed to civilian traffic. I have heard no reports as to the nature of the object, but it fell onto the ice...that maybe doesn't exist due to global warming/climate change.
