Why Bobby Fletcher Is Off His Rocker

Why Fletcher Is Off His Rocker. Below is a post from Fletcher to an article on the Chi Mak news. My comments follow his post.

----------------------------------------

Bobby Fletcher's Post

Original charges against Chi Mak et al have been dropped. Government's petition to hold without bail has been denied.

It seems the prosecution have lied on so many things, it's beginning to smell like another Wen Ho Lee.

- no classified document; not about weapons at all
- files were not encripted in music; It's zipped for size
- no such list from China asking for data
- map of Knolls Atomic Lab turned out to be a hotel map from an old visit
- wiretap showed Chi Mak had no interested in the broken down Mak ancestrial home in Hong Kong

With no charge to nail the sister in-law, prosecution have trumped up a "fake marriage" charge, insinuating she whored herself out. Shame on us America:

Info below from the credible CI Centre.

Authorities say Mak and his wife copied the information onto CDs and then delivered them to Tai Wang Mak who encrypted the disks then was scheduled to fly to Hong Kong on Oct. 28 with Li. From there, Mak allegedly planned to travel to Guangzhou in China to meet a contact.

According to the 42-page affidavit, agents combing through the trash at Chi's residence found a number of documents torn into small pieces.

One document was machine-printed in China and instructed Chi to "join more [professional] associations and participate in more seminars with special subject matters" and then compile the special conference material on a disk. The document also lists the military technologies that were being sought including:

  • Space-based electromagnetic intercept system
  • Space-launched magnetic levitational platform
  • Electromagnetic artillery system
  • Submarine torpedoes
  • Electromagnetic launch system
  • Aircraft carrier electronic systems

A second document, hand-printed in Chinese, contained another list of technologies sought:

  • Water jet propulsion
  • Ship submarine propulsion technology, non-air reliant
  • Power system configuration technology, weapons standardization, modularization
  • Early warning technologies, command and control systems technology, defense against nuclear attack technology
  • Permanent electromagnetic motor, overall solution for shipboard power system
  • Shipboard internal and external communications systems
  • Establishment of high frequency, self-linking, satellite communications
  • Submarine HF transient launch technology
  • DDX (next generation destroyer)
OTHER INFO ON MAK

-
Gaylord testified that the FBI found letters written by a Chinese aviation official to a Boeing engineer named Greg Chung, who worked on the space shuttle program. The official, a representative of China's ministry of aviation, identified Mak as a relative in the letters and sought design information for the “development of the space shuttle,” Gaylord said.

The official, identified as Gu Wei Hao, wrote he would find a way to pay Chung cash in person for expenses incurred while collecting or purchasing information and said he could channel information through Chi Mak.

Exposed: Chinese Black Operations On U.S. Soil - Part III

I've been conducting more research on the matter of Chinese Operatives working against U.S. interests on U.S. Soil. What better source to understand the problem than the U.S. Congress.

Every day we read or hear about U.S. authorities attempting to identify sleeper cells and black operatives on U.S. soil. Nearly all of this relates to terrorism. Yet, the halls of Congress are dressed with testimony that reads like a spy novel... and the enemy is China. I encourage everyone to Google search "Congressional Testimony" and "Falun Gong". You'll be amazed at what is known about Chinese covert operations within the U.S. Yet, we never see these reports in the media. Why?

Below I provide a few snippets of what is known about Chinese Covert Operations in the U.S., and what's worse, it's often directed against U.S. citizens.

Resolution 304 also specifically mentioned section 401(a)(1)(B) of the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 (22 U.S.C. 6401(a)(1)(B)):

Agents of China’s Communist Party Operating in the US

Resolution 304 calls on China’s agents in the United States to halt all operations being carried out against practitioners of Falun Gong on United States soil.

The resolution makes reference to China’s agents carrying out acts of violence and assault, property theft and destruction, illegal wire-tapping, harassment, intimidation, and persecution against practitioners of Falun Gong in the United States.

Chinese Attack: Is this the work of Chinese Intelligence?

What's really going on here? The average Chinese citizen cannot move about the Internet without strict monitoring. Anyone attempting to hack from within China will immediately catch the attention of the CHICOM's great Firewall. Yet, we see unrelenting cyber attacks on sensitive U.S. computer systems. How could this be? The AVERAGE citizen is restricted from such activities, but those granted permission to attack the U.S. are given free access. Who can grant a person or group access around the firewall? Who has the ability to get around the firewall? The CCP of course....the question is: who in the Chinese government is behind the well planned and directed attack: Chinese Military, Chinese Intelligence, Chinese Cyber Army?????

APPSENSE SECURITY

The cyber attacks on the Critical National Infrastructures of the US and UK, originating from inside China have hit the headlines again. This time they appear to be targeted against one specific agency within the Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS). The BIS is involved in the regulation of the export of sensitive goods and technologies as well as enforcing export control and anti-boycott laws. The targeting of this organization is in some ways not surprising, it is responsible for the prevention of the exportation of military technology to China.

The exact method used for this attack has not been publicised, but there have been strong suggestions that this involved carefully researched e-mails and possibly Trojans. This involved the Chinese group sending e-mails apparently from internal e-mail address to various government employees. The subject and content of these mails were deliberately chosen. The careful research mentioned above allowed the mails to be targeted in such a way that the victim would be more inclined to trust the mail and any attachment to it.

The same method of researched e-mails would also work if malicious websites were being used to exploit some vulnerability in Internet Explorer, as was seen recently with the VML based exploitation. There have been reports of Web sites registered on Chinese Internet service providers hosting malware with Rootkit capabilities. It is likely that this is true as the BSI has admitted that they are not attempting to repair any computers perceived to be infected. Instead wholly new machines are being used to replace these.

This is the latest in a long line of attempts to spy on other areas of the Government and infrastructure which were traced back to China. The, so called, Titan Rain attacks used some similar techniques as did the attack on the United Kingdom government at the start of 2006. This one used the, at the time, unpatched vulnerability in WMF rendering. This involved e-mails containing information apparently about a secret rendezvous being sent to around 70 members of the UK parliament as well as other staff in the British Government.


The levels of complexity and preparation involved in these attacks may mean they are the first things to warrant the, massively over hyped, name of cyber warfare.

Chinese in Space....


China goes back to space just weeks after catching the world by surprise with a SAT killing maneuver. The so called ASAT mission left a huge debris field and worse, according the the Japanese, violated international law. Although billed as a "friendly" GPS satellite, the new space monkey undoubtedly has Military applications...giving China another foot into the Space Battlefield. America and the world sleep....

Feb 05, 2007

China successfully put a navigation satellite into orbit early Saturday from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China's Sichuan Province. The carrier rocket, Long March 3-A, blasted off at 0:28 a.m. ( Beijing Time). The satellite separated from the rocket about 24 minutes later. Data from the Xi'an satellite monitoring center showed that the satellite had accurately entered its orbit.

Experts said the Beidou satellite navigation experimental system is operating well and has played a significant role in cartography, telecommunications, water conservation, transportation, fishery, prospecting, forest fire monitoring and national security.

Compass Satellite Navigation Experimental System (BeiDou-1)

It is China’s first space-based regional navigation and positioning network. The system provides all-weather, two-dimensional positioning data for both military and civilian users.

New Scientist.com

But things appear to have changed in Beijing. On 2 November, the country's official news agency Xinhua reported that Beidou would, from 2008, begin providing an "open" level of service, with 10-metre accuracy, in addition to its "authorised", encrypted military service.

Chinese ASAT is UNSAT

Although slow, the U.S. official reaction to China's SAT killing adventure is finally showing sings of having a backbone. Surprisingly, few other nations took exception to the test.

THE WASHINGTON TIMES
February 2, 2007

The Bush administration has suspended plans to develop space ventures with China, including joint exploration of the moon, in reaction to Beijing's Jan. 11 test of an anti-satellite weapon that left orbiting debris threatening U.S. and foreign satellites.

Robert Joseph, undersecretary of state for arms control and the administration's point man for space security policy, said yesterday that the space weapons test was a shock. It shows space is a "contested environment" and that "countries are developing capabilities to put at risk our assets for which we are dependent," he said.

Also, the space arms test should be viewed in the context of China's large-scale buildup of both strategic and conventional forces, not just their space weapons, he said.

"We're now stuck with hundreds of pieces of this Chinese satellite for a hundred years, and it's having an impact on the entire global commons," she said, noting that there needs to be "common norms and acceptable rules of behavior in space."

U.S. intelligence officials said China has sought to obtain U.S. military space technology through espionage and other covert means but has been curbed by U.S. security measures. "They've had trouble getting it through the back door so they decided to come in through the front," a defense official said.

Among the technologies sought by the Chinese are dual-use civilian and military goods used in maneuvering spacecraft, including propulsion and battery know-how, which have applications for anti-satellite guidance systems, the defense official said.

Another Chinese Massacre:1997

There are no words to express how outstandingly horrible a communist government can be, China is at the top of that list!

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL: Feb 2007 (remembers the past)

On 5 February 1997, dozens of people were killed or seriously injured when the Chinese security forces brutally broke up a peaceful demonstration in the city of Gulja (Yining) in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region (XUAR) of China. Hundreds, possibly thousands, lost their lives or were seriously injured in the unrest that occurred the following day. Large numbers of people were arrested during the demonstrations and their aftermath. Many detainees were beaten or otherwise tortured. An unknown number remain unaccounted for.

I arrived in Gulja City in the morning of 7 or 8 February, and went to the home of a Uighur friend of mine. In the afternoon my friend took me to the home of another Uighur family whose two sons had been killed during the Chinese military crackdown on the peaceful protestors in Gulja a couple of days earlier.

I was trying to talk with them, the Ili Prefectural Police and Chinese Military officers and soldiers burst into the house. The soldiers pulled the parents by the hair and kicked them really hard. The top military officer ordered me to put my hands on my head and to face the wall and said, "if you resist or shout and scream, we will shoot you." It was clear that it was the Chinese military officer in command, not the prefectural police, who didn't dare say anything in front of him. They forced me to strip completely naked and searched all my clothes.

....Despite her concern that I was being followed she gave me some tea and spoke to me about the demonstration and the crackdown. She said she had seen numerous Chinese military trucks piled high with dead or beaten Uighurs going into the local Yengi Hayat Prison but had not seen people leaving. She said she was certain that nearly 1000 Uighurs had been taken into the prison, but that the prison could only accommodate 500 prisoners. Furthermore, she said she saw many military trucks leaving the prison that were filled with dirt. Many others I spoke with had also witnessed this. Many suspected that dead bodies were buried in the dirt and were being taken out to be disposed of.

While at his home, the Ili Prefectural Police broke in and detained me for a second time, again taking me back to the police station. I learned later that this gentleman was subsequently arrested and sentenced to two years in prison for passing "state secrets" to me. When he was released two years later he had had a mental breakdown.

In one part dozens of military dogs were attacking – lunging and biting at, peaceful demonstrators, including women and children. Chinese PLA soldiers were bludgeoning the demonstrators – thrashing at their legs until they buckled and fell to the ground. Those on the ground – some alive, others dead, were then dragged across the ground and dumped all together into dozens of army trucks.

...a young Uighur girl screaming, "Semetjan", then running to a young man who was bleeding and being dragged by a Chinese soldier to a truck. Another soldier knocked her down and shot her dead right on the spot. He then dragged her by the hair and dumped her into the same truck into which the young man had been thrown. In another part of the film gunshots were fired into a group of Uighur children, aged 5 to 6, who were with a woman holding a baby, all were shot. It wasn’t clear where the guns were being fired from, whether from a rooftop or truck-top. There were tanks in the street, and in the film one could see three kinds of PLA soldiers: those with a helmet, baton, and shield; those with automatic weapons; and those with rifles with bayonets. In the film I heard Chinese soldiers shouting, "kill them!, kill them!" I heard one officer shouting to a soldier, "Is he a Uighur or Chinese? Don’t touch the Chinese but kill the Uighur."

HU's Sleeping With Fidel?

Want to see HU's been sleeping with the Cuban cut throat? There's a good article at the Jamestown Foundation you should check out. I should warn you though, like any good sexed up novel, it's borders on being a scandal.

THE JAMESTOWN FOUNDATION

Most important for China, Cuba is believed to have the world’s third largest nickel reserves and Beijing is pumping $500 million into doubling the island’s annual production

A related issue is Chinese involvement with Cuban military and intelligence.

....“we need to be alert to rapidly advancing Chinese capabilities, particularly in the fields of intelligence, communications and cyber-warfare, and their possible application in the region” (Congressional testimony, April 6, 2005).

A number one priority has been personnel and defense technologies for Cuba’s Air and Air Defense Forces (DAAFAR), since it might someday have to repel a U.S. invasion, the “mirror” on Taiwan. Among those trained in China and working with the Chinese is DAAFAR chief Pedro Mendiondo Gomez, an expert in air defense.

China's Covert Space Force



While China pollutes the U.S. political system, blinds U.S. satellites with laser, stalks the U.S. fleet and uses the tools of unrestricted warfare (front companies, economic attack, etc.) they have also been busy building a cover "Space Force". No doubt this is driven by the PLA who's open policy is to attack the U.S.

AIRFORCE TIMES

China’s direct-ascent anti-satellite missile is the latest test to prove counter-space capabilities. Last year, senior U.S. officials said China had attempted to use lasers to blind American satellites.

“We have three books and several dozen articles from China that go back 10 years, all of which advocate all types of anti-satellite weapons and they have a consistent theme — they have to be deployed covertly so that in a crisis with America, China can shoot down some satellites as a deterrent message,” Pillsbury said.

“These documents advocate multiple approaches to preemptive strikes on satellites from plasma clouds, pellets, directed-energy weapons, orbiting spacecraft and attacking ground stations with special forces,” he said.

Funny how the Falun Gong always show up.

China Cops to Sat Kill; Mysteries Remain

So Beijing has finally owned up to blasting one of their satellites out of orbit .

So, the Chinese decide to really hit a satellite and create a huge cloud of debris. The U.S. detects the intercept and releases the [debris information], provid[ing] the general public with hard evidence that the test really occurred. This raised the credibility of the U.S. And the Chinese are happy because the message they wanted to send to the world has gotten out - loud and clear.

This sort of subterfuge is one of several reasons why Joe Buff thinks that the anti-satellite (ASAT) test wasn't just some rogue operation -- it was authorized from the top. President Hu Jintao "is head of state, commander in chief, and General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party all rolled into one," Buff reminds us. "The People's Liberation Army makes sure that the CCP stays in total control of the nation.

This isn't China's only space controversy, long-time satellite-watcher Peter Brown notes in a fascinating piece for the Washington Times. "The loss of another Chinese satellite in early November is causing headaches as well, something that China would prefer to keep quiet."

This involved a spanking new Chinese communications satellite, the largest ever built to date by China. Known as Sinosat-2, it was launched on October 29 and weighed more than 5 tons. In a matter of days, however, any celebrating ended rather abruptly. Sinosat-2 suffered a complete failure and soon was hurtling back into the earth's atmosphere...

Why was China reluctant to admit that Sinosat-2 was in serious trouble? First, this satellite represented China's first flight of its new Dongfanghong or DFH-4 spacecraft bus. Second, Sinosat-2 was the first of a new generation of jamming-resistant satellites created by China after satellite broadcasts were jammed in 2002. These incidents were characterized by the Chinese government as deliberate acts of sabotage carried out by the outlawed Falun Gong involving a satellite known as Sinosat-1.

IDEA MAN: when someone gets their fancy satellite jammed, they would feel real good about cutting the organs out of those responsible.

Chin's threat to the U.S. is not going away.

As usual Bill Gertz provides a unique and "insider" perspective to the Chinese threat.

Perhaps an overlooked element to the recent ASAT news is that China attempted to kill a satellite on three other occasions. It also appears that on those unsuccessful attempts they again did not notify the U.S. Not until SEVERAL DAYS after the explosion was reported in the popular media did China acknowledge the ASAT kill.

Officials fear war in space by China
By Bill Gertz


U.S. officials familiar with intelligence reports said yesterday that three previous tests were unsuccessful

China's anti-satellite-interceptor test Jan. 11 is part of a covert space-weapons program designed to cripple the U.S. military in a conflict

"The ASAT test showed they are not following us [militarily] but trying to leap ahead," one defense official said.

China also illuminated a U.S. satellite with a ground-based laser in another anti-satellite test, according to a report by the congressional U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission.

The report, produced by defense analyst Michael Pillsbury, revealed that China has plans for secret space weapons that include ground-based lasers, air-to-space missile interceptors and an exotic plasma bomb that would destroy orbiting satellites by enveloping them in an electronic cloud. The report also stated that three books written by Chinese colonels in 2001, 2002 and 2005 contain "proposals for covert deployment of antisatellite weapons directed at U.S. assets."
One author, Col. Jia Junming, stated in his 2002 book that Chinese space-weapons development should be covert and "intense internally but relaxed in external appearance to maintain our good international image and position."

The 2005 book, "Joint Space War Campaigns," by Col. Yuan Zelu, calls for deploying an orbiting network of strike weapons that "will be concealed and launched only in a crisis or emergency" to "bring the opponent to his knees."
