99 Balloons - Part Deux

An Apology
Here at the neoTerra News Network (nNN) we strive for totally factual reporting.  So, I must apologize to the Communists and Fascists in Oregon and Washington.  In my prior post I accused them of ignoring the balloon.  It has since been revealed that the balloon didn't cross over those states. It actually spent several days over the Aleutian Islands, Alaska and western Canada before re-entering US airspace over Montana.

This makes a much more interesting story of deceit and deception.

Deceit and Deception
Our Military had ample opportunity to destroy the balloon over the Pacific or over the virtually unpopulated areas of eastern Alaska.   Instead, they allowed the balloon to traverse the entire continental United States, claiming it was too dangerous to destroy until it reached the Atlantic Ocean (and a great photo-op).

The balloon was observed and photographed by hundreds of people as it traveled over at least 8 states. (It may have been 11 states but it's not clear to this reporter if it actually traversed the tips of Wyoming, Kansas and southern Illinois).

Analysis
The Balloon-gate incident is basically bullshit.  Yeah, yeah, you're pissed because the balloon really did traverse the United States, while Biden ate ice cream.... but what could it possibly achieve??? 

The Chinese have a constellation of spy satellites that are on par with our own. They (and the Russians before them) know the exact locations of every missile silo in North America.  (Our subs are the only true deterrent to nuclear war).

Some conspiracy theories suggest that the balloon would gather localized radio/cell data that is difficult to obtain from orbit.   I call bullshit!  There are thousands of Chinese nationals here under H1B visas.  They can drive around in vans working for Google Streets and collect every shred of localized Intel they want.

• Sidebar:  By 2015, there were roughly 1.8 Million H1Bs... and many, many more have been issued since then.  While the majority go to people from India, approximately 200,000 have gone to Chinese (CCP) nationals.  www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/04/27/key-facts-about-the-u-s-h-1b-visa-program/

If the Military shot this balloon down over the Pacific it would barely warrant a single paragraph in the news cycle. By allowing it to float across the entire country it became a week-long distraction for Conservatives.  (NOTE: The Progressives don't care about the Biden Balloon... this was done as a distraction for us... and we fell for it).

As further evidence, consider the theatrical, final destruction.  Every American fighter aircraft since Vietnam has a service ceiling high enough to pop that balloon with a couple of rounds from a 20-mm cannon. Instead, the Air Force used the latest F-22 stealth fighter to destroy the flimsy Mylar balloon with  $250K air-to-air missile.... all within view of thousands of people...  much more dramatic.

• Sidebar:  The F15, which was introduced 50 years ago and is nearing obsolescence, has an acknowledged (i.e. non-classified) service ceiling of 65,000 feet.  For amusement, an F15 pilot could vaporize that balloon with just its exhaust.  www.af.mil/About-Us/Fact-Sheets/Display/Article/104501/f-15-eagle/

Conclusion
The Administration used this Balloon Bullshit to distract y'all from the real issues.  To distract us from the Debt Ceiling fight, from the continuing invasion at the southern border, from the massive subsidies to their cronies in the fraudulent Green New Deal.

If we fall for this theatrical crap then WE ARE THE SHEEP.

Stay focused.
