Speaking now.
Will anyone answer as to why the Chynah balloon wasn't shot down earlier? I doubt it.

Talk about a job where you thought you'd be sitting around playing solitaire all day. Now you find yourself in front of congress. Yikes.

because they were scared that it might land on someone and we needed to let it fall into the water so that it wouldnt be damaged and because we needed to let it fly over the entire country so that we could observe its tactics and in order to score a diplomatic coup against China and this was obviously a huge win for the Biden administration and a huge loss for China and if you cant see that you obviously are wearing your partisan glasses!

Great stuff—thanks.

Jedidiah was asked by Tester: Did we know what the CCP wanted as a result of the balloons?
Why didn't we shoot the last balloons down over water?
Also: my thoughts, will it come out outside of a classified setting that Milley failed to notify President Trump of the 3 brief China balloons?

Because US Govt. leaders have sold out our Country to the Chinese. They own Everything, they have their Tentacles everywhere.
IMO, They have been using Balloons for many many years, thing is, this one was flying low on purpose as a big FU to the US and Joe Biden.
Someone in Mont. just happened to see this one.
The UFO thing comes into question as well.
Is it just to distract the Populace from what is really happening?

Intro to American politics:
shite goes wrong.
Congress gets together and argues over the spin
shite keeps going wrong.
Profit.

Hell, Biden will probably wind up apologizing to his overlord Xi. if he wants his 10%.

Collins: According to the WH Press Sec, there was 3 to 4 days before the President (Biden) was informed.

These hearings are so worthless. There's not a single question that actually been answered other than they didn't shoot it down earlier because they didn't want to risk hurting anyone.

And this ^^^ is why Americans who are not captured by Woke institutional indoctrination and mass gaslighting via the Corporate Media have little to no faith in the US government and it's related agencies.

For real. Watching clips from this week, it is a stark reminder that our damn government is too big.
Not only are there a million obscure positions that don't need to exist, they have teams to support them and freaking organizations that also have administration.
Are you or are you not a member of the Association of Hemispheric Affairs Trades, aka AssHAT?

Asst Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense and Hemispheric Affairs
This is from the website for this office:
The mission of the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense and Hemispheric Affairs is to provide policy and planning oversight for DoD homeland defense and mission assurance, defense support of civil authorities, Arctic and Global Resilience, and Western Hemisphere Affairs matters. Advance and represent priority issues with U.S. interagency partners; U.S. Congress; Allies and partners; U.S. state, local, territorial, and tribal governments; and private section organizations.
This is literally word salad and is completely meaningless.
OFFICES
Arctic and Global Resilience
Defense Continuity and Mission Assurance (DC&MA)
Homeland Defense Integration and DSCA
Western Hemisphere
Defense Critical Infrastructure Program (DCIP)
Domestic Preparedness Support Initiative
Protected Critical Infrastructure Program (PCII)
This is 100% redundant with everything that is in place throughout the chain of command, at installations, at DHS, etc.
As for this lady:
Ms. Dalton holds a B.A. in foreign affairs from the University of Virginia and an M.A. in international relations from the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies. She is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and was a Council on Foreign Relations International Affairs Fellow.
In other words, she has no idea what she's doing, she went to woke garbage institutions, her credentials are meaningless, the degree programs are fluff, and she is a member of the warmonger club AKA Council on Foreign Relations. Shocker.
Prior to this job:
Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Strategy, Plans, and Capabilities from January 2021 to March 2022. In that role, she was responsible for advising the Secretary of Defense and other senior defense leaders on national security and defense strategy; the forces, contingency plans, and associated posture necessary to implement the defense strategy; nuclear deterrence and missile defense policy; and security cooperation plans and policies.
So, the whole point of things like the Senior Executive Service was to place real "experts" in these slots, where they would remain, so our govt would have experts, for the long run, to make our govt smarter and more efficient. You can't convince me that in a year's time she became an expert in all the things that fall under that office, or had the expertise to start with. She was there, like in her current position, to rubber stamp the narrative, the agenda, and push through what the shot callers at CFR and similar places are directing.
It's a system of systems with key nodes / personnel like Victoria Nuland, which connect orgs and think tanks to the decision makers in govt, so the tail can wag the dog.
We need to purge 90% of the SES and their equivalent positions throughout govt. It's a waste of money to have these positions and they are an extreme risk for leaks of classified information.
We have an entire department for Homeland - we don't need this Asst Sec of Def. Fire her and everyone that works for her.
Hemispheric Affairs - this is just a made up job to increase the size of govt.
This is why the defense budget is so large. We just fabricate things to spend money on.

Generally agree on an SES purge. Do you think she’s a political appointee or non-career SES?

Political. She was nominated for the job by Biden and sent through the Senate.

The balloon does not matter. It's a psy op. The threat is in the spiritual realm. Anyone afraid of this balloon needs to forget about the balloon. Focus on the spiritual battle.

The balloon was released in order to wake you up. It was not a real life or death threat.
Posted on 2/9/23 at 11:43 am to cajunangelle
F Collins. Her globalist views and rino bs is largely responsible for the crap we continue to see in this circus administration.

So, to protect progressives from climate change, hydrocarbons, gas ovens, white supremacy, transphobia and scary catholics?
Yep, that sums up the directive.
