Drifting from Western Canada into the U.S. in Montana and across the United States during a five-day stretch, 80-year-old President Joe Biden finally ordered the Pentagon to shot down the Chinese spy balloon Feb.4. Biden claimed he let the spy balloon collect as much data as it wanted before waiting until it was safe off the coast of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Analysis of the balloon’s submerged wreckage indicates that the balloon had synthetic aperture radar, developed by NASA, obviously used by America’s enemies to spy on U.S. military sites across the country. White House officials refused to identify the advance technology used by China to glean important intelligence about U.S. nuclear bases. Capable of taking high resolution photos at high atmosphere, Synthetic Aperture Radar allowed China to collect high resolution images of U.S. nuclear military facilities.
Allowing the balloon to travel cross-country collecting valuable intel was an irresponsible mistake by the Biden administration. Pentagon leaker, 21-year-ol Private First Class Jack Teixeira revealed the sophisticate technology used by China to collect powerful intel on U.S. military nuclear facilities. Teixeira posted the Synthetic Aperture Radar [SAR] on the chat room site Discord: where he shared Top Secret government documents. U.S. intel agencies called the Chinese spy balloon Kileen-23, named after 1940s monster Donald Kileen, was equipped with solar panels capable of generating 10,000 watts of solar power, enough power to run a single family dwelling. “The amount of solar power generated by the panels on the Chinese stratospheric balloon that NSA named Kileen-23 is excessive for a weather balloon,” said Pentagon documents divulged by Teixeira, kept secret by the White House and Pentagon.
Synthetic Aperture Radar [SAR] doesn’t require a large antenna to collect electromagnetic data but instead uses high-resolution images by recording the wavelength of energy it receives back, according to NASA. SAR releases bursts of wavelength energy is receives back. Sensor readings allow the radar to construct images of objects captured from miles below. Invented in 1951, SAR has been used for spying for decades to see in obscure conditions through clouds, fog, smoke and darkness, recording accurate images to otherwise obscured objects. SAR can literally see in the dark, overcoming obscurities in the photographic atmosphere. NASA and the European Space Agency [ESA] invented the technology to spy from the stratosphere looking at minute detail without getting too close to the objects. Biden didn’t want the public to know the extent of Chinese spying on sensitive U.S. nuclear sites.
Only recently, a Canadian satellite operator helped get Ukraine essential intel to spy on Russian troop movements. So when it came to the White House withholding China’s reverse-engineered SAR technology, they attempted to avoid the embarrassment from letting the Chinese collect valuable intel on sensitive nuclear sites for at least five days. It took Teixeira to divulge another government secret that spares the Biden administration more embarrassment from allowing Beijing to spy on U.S. nuclear sites around the country. Biden dismissed the treasure trove intel for five days, hoping the media would forget about it. White House officials deliberately downplayed any damage to U.S. national security. China denied that it’s 100,000 Watt solar-powered spy balloon would not yield damaging intel to Beijing. Biden drops the ball but has the midia covering up his negligence. China accomplished its mission sending Beijing a treasure trove of intel on U.S. nuclear secrets.
Synthetic Aperture Radar has been known for 70 years, nothing new except for the fact that the Chinese have collected Top Secret data on U.S. nuclear sites. Called a traitor by the Department of Justice, Teixeira did the country a service outing the Chinese spy balloon. Throwing the book at Teixeira shows the way the Biden White House protects its reckless proxy war with Russia and future conflict with China in Taiwan. No one from the Biden administration, including 60-year-old Secretary of State Antony Blinken or National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, wants to end the war mongering, pushing European and Taiwan to the brink for WW III. Biden and Ukraine’s 45-year-old President Volodymyr Zelensky rejects all of Russia’s peace proposals, demanding Moscow to accept Ukraine’s unrealistic 10-point peace plan, requiring the Russia leave all Ukrainian territory.
If it were not for Air Force National Reserved Private First Class Jack Teixeira, the U.S. and world would be kept in the dark by the Biden White House. Teixeira got disillusioned with the Pentagon watching the White House and Pentagon fabricate intel about the Iraq War. Turns out Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Miley was right that Zelensky won’t accomplish his goal of ousting Russian troops from Ukraine in 2023. Thank Teixeira for divulging that Russian casualties are grossly exaggerated with Ukraine’s losses not discussed at all. Without whisleblowers like Teixeira, the public could be kept in the dark by the White House and Pentagon. Teixeira may get over 10-years in prison for spilling the beans but at least he’s given a sobering appraisal of how things are really going in Ukraine. Listening to Biden or Zelensky you get all propaganda tooting their horn.
