Everyone remains fixated on the border watching the endless parade of foreign malcontents who’s intentions vary. We might proffer that aside from those that wish to take advantage of our generous social programs through either fraud of hostile intention there are others who’s infiltration is to undermine and destroy our republic, specifically agents of the Chinese Communist Party. The following article details their intent of establishing a ‘fifth column’ in the United States…
China’s Increasingly Aggressive Tactics for Foreign Disinformation Campaigns
THE DIPLOMATE
By Sara Cook September 18, 2023
On August 29, Meta reported that it had recently taken down thousands of accounts and Facebook pages that “were part of the largest known cross-platform covert operation in the world,” run by “geographically dispersed operators across China.” The announcement and its detailed analysis made headlines around the world, garnering attention for the type of information that is often mainly of interest to cybersecurity firms and digital policy wonks.
But such revelations are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Beijing’s evolving campaign to feed targeted disinformation – demonstrably false or misleading content, often through the use of fake accounts – to social media users around the world.

To appease the weak kneed prosecutor we were required to identify, by sound, weapons used in a test at our department’s firing range. We identified all eleven weapons used. Apparently that wasn’t good enough. The end result was all six gang members involved were released without being charged.
Ed Note: The following adjudication was made by another soft on crime judge ignoring codified law, Title 18 of U.S. Criminal Code, and redefining the Second Amendment to fit her own liberal beliefs…
Undocumented Immigrants Have Right to Own Guns
Newsweek By Nick Mordowanec March 19, 2024
A judge this month dropped gun charges against an illegal migrant in Illinois, sparking further debate about the rights associated with the Second Amendment.
U.S. District Court Judge Sharon Coleman of the Northern District of Illinois referenced lower court rulings in dismissing firearm possession charges against Heriberto Carbajal-Flores, who was illegally or unlawfully in the United States when he possessed a handgun in the Little Village neighborhood of Chicago on June 1, 2020.
Carbajal-Flores was charged under Title 18 of U.S. Criminal Code, which legally disallows undocumented individuals to possess firearms and ammunition “or to receive any firearm or ammunition which has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce.”
