I lived long enough to know that most things happen for a reason. Of the events that are exposed on the surface are not necessarily the true reasons for that occurrence.  Are we to believe that China would invade our sovereign airspace by sending a spy balloon over our heartland with massive intelligence gathering equipment without US military interdiction? Why would anyone believe that China is that naive? Why would the Chinese do that when we know that there are more Chinese agents throughout America than even Moses or Aaron could shake a stick at?

I am not one to believe in conspiracy theories. However, for those that have followed the recent revelations as exposed by the House of Representatives regarding the enormous financial contributions to the University of Pennsylvania and the Biden “Think Tank” (where classified documents were found) in Washington DC — those millions of dollars came from the Chinese Communist Party. Should that raise more than an eyebrow?  So I wonder if using the old “wag the dog” ploy might be in play with the infamous Chinese spy balloon.

I haven’t a doubt that the outcome of the 2020 general election was highly supported by enormous contributions from large American corporations – who have many billions of dollars invested in China. I would have to suspect that those corporations and the Chinese Communist Party were pleased with outcome as well. We all should be aware of the position that the previous President had concerning China. 

I haven’t a clue of what the FBI lab at Quantico will discover from the debris, but here’s the thing arousing my suspicion: why would China fly a spy balloon over America, knowing well it would be shot down… just before the State of the Union Address?
