Foreign-Born Researchers At US Agencies Were Secretly Working For China And Recruiting Others, Senate Report Finds
Foreign-Born Researchers At US Agencies Were Secretly Working For China And Recruiting Others, Senate Report Finds November 20th, 2019
Foreign-born researchers working for U.S. agencies were secretly on China’s payroll, signing side agreements to send sensitive research to that country as part of a recruitment operation called the Thousand Talents Plan, a Senate report found.
10,000 Chinese nationals in 2018 conducted research in the Department of Energy’s National Labs, and one even had colleagues write him letters of recommendation to the Communist Party-run recruitment program, the bipartisan report stated.
Agencies like NIH do not even track attempted foreign influence, the Department of State denies only 5% of suspicious visas, and the FBI shut down a key program, according to the report.
Foreign-born researchers working at U.S. agencies secretly joined China’s payroll, sending sensitive U.S.-funded research to the country while U.S. government agencies took almost no defensive measures against a major recruitment operation, a Senate investigation found.
Researchers linked to the Chinese government formed a Chinese cell within the Department of Energy, attained access to American genomic data, and recruited other U.S. researchers to join, the bipartisan report stated...
Dammit, we know this! If they are Chinese citizens, they don't have a choice about working for China. That is how it is and for us to pretend otherwise is beyond foolish.

It's far worse than foolish IMHO it is absolute insanity!
QuoteThe mention of stealing genomic data. This may be a stretch but where do many of the world threatening pandemic viruses seem to originate?
What if those Flu viruses (and SARS) are biological warfare tests by the Chinese?
What if they could engineer a virus that is race-specific?

He has a point I think.
We will never again be truly FREE people for so long as we continue to abide the Marxist Income Tax Code and the IRS!
