The Chinese Communist Party is operating a network of spy bases in Cuba just 90 miles off the coast of Florida. In July 2024 the Center for Strategic and International Studies published a a report outlining how they are growing a network of signals intelligence bases here. Similar to how the United States military runs intelligence gathering operations in Taiwan right near China – it appears like China is trying to turn the turntables back around. Written by: Chris Cappy & Patrick GriffinEdited by: Michael MichaelidesThese radars could jam and use electronic warfare capabilities against US assets; they could monitor several key military bases nearby. So When did these radar networks first appear? What is their purpose? Are Cuban Communists responsible for jamming my car radio? Are they whispering sweet marxists ideology through my Alexa while I sleep? I’m your average infantryman Chris Cappy lets find out. Ever since Cuba’s communist revolution led by Fidel Castro in January of 1959, the country has remained a partner for fellow communist nations for several reasons. Of one which is its close proximity to the United States which makes Cuba the perfect location to peek over at the United States to see what they are up to. I know I sound paranoid when I say they are listening to us but just take a look at (beh-hoo-KAHL) Bejucal Cuba. In 1962 at the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis, this military satellite and radar station here was crucial for monitoring the airspace around the island as they looked for U.S. spy planes and other threats. And ever since then Rumors of these spy stations have been around for decades. Just look at this 1964 declassified document from the CIA, you can see of US intelligence has long been analyzing photographs of their communication stations capabilities. But Some of the earliest public statements I could dig up on the matter come from 2005 when Albert Santoli first testified on this to the US congress’s china economic security review commission. His testimony laid out all the reasons

The Chinese Communist Party’s efforts to “conquer and transform nature” have never stopped. Recently, many videos and articles have been circulating online, showing what appears to be a massive project to level the Loess Plateau and create five million acres of farmland. Reports suggest the project involves a budget of about one trillion yuan. One video shows countless bulldozers and excavators at work on the rugged, eroded landscape of the Loess Plateau. Machines rumble as steep slopes collapse, and yellow dust fills the air. Just watching the video, you can almost imagine the earthy smell of the loosened soil.

The full version was released on Epoch TV on September 28, 2024.Jan Jekielek interviews Gordon Chang, the author of the new book, “Plan Red: China’s Project to Destroy America,” to understand the Chinese regime’s strategy to destabilize America, from fentanyl warfare to election disinformation to suspicious activity at the border.“We see momentum toward war, and we Americans have got to ask ourselves, what is going to stop this momentum to war?” Chang says.“The Communist Party People’s Daily, the most authoritative publication in China, in a landmark editorial declared in May 2019 a people’s war against us, and we’re American, so we think we can ignore what our enemies say. But for Communist China, People’s War is a phrase that has great resonance going back to the beginning of the People’s Republic. Just about a year ago, ‘PLA Daily’ actually defined people’s war for us. It said people’s war is total war, and we have seen China wage a campaign of unrestricted warfare against the United States.”Gordon Chang: “You have an insecure regime in China. Beijing is worried about the inspirational impact of America’s values and form of governance on the Chinese people. So I believe the Communist Party does not think it will ever be safe as long as the United States exists.”Chang about Chinese students in America: “We know that Chinese consular officials and Ministry of State Security agents actually surveil those students and get them to commit espionage, get them to engage in political activities which is inappropriate on our soil, and this is our country. We allow that. Under the communist party’s top down system every Chinese national has to obey the instructions and demands of the Communist Party and China’s 2017 National Intelligence law actually codifies this in one area where Chinese nationals are required to commit espionage if they receive a demand.”“There must be hundreds, if not 1000s, of Ministry of State Security agents running around our country trying to compromise American politicians.”Chang recommends: “We need to sever all of our contacts with the Chinese regime. I know that that is very strong. I’m not saying it’s politically acceptable, but I am saying it is necessary, and the reason is we’re being overwhelmed. We are being overwhelmed by a Chinese regime. Our law enforcement is being overwhelmed. Our universities are being overwhelmed, our businesses, Hollywood, just, you name it. And we don’t have a hold on this. And until we are able to manage this, we need to take those contacts and sever them. It’s going to be tough. It will be painful, as we talked about, but nonetheless, it’s necessary, and that’s why I’m so concerned, because we are not willing to do what is necessary to save our society.”CHAPTER HEADERS[0:00:00 – 0:00:22] Chinese Migrants with Military Ties[0:00:28 – 0:02:37] China’s “People’s War” and Unrestricted Warfare Against the U.S.[0:03:19 – 0:07:53] Chinese Infiltration of American Society and Elections[0:08:24 – 0:09:54] Influx of Chinese Migrants Across U.S. Borders[0:12:08 – 0:15:13] Comprehensive Chinese Penetration of American Institutions [0:15:34 – 0:19:21] Severing Ties with the Chinese Regime[0:19:54 – 0:22:02] Potential for Wider Conflict and the Need to Prevent War[0:22:02 – 0:22:20] Conclusion and Call to Action

Their propaganda immediately hyped it up, claiming the missile flew incredibly high, supposedly going beyond the detection range of US satellites. They boasted that it didn’t use much fuel but could still maneuver in space, making it difficult to intercept.

Tiananmen Square, in the heart of the Chinese capital Beijing, has been a place of enormous significance in modern Chinese history. For seven weeks in the spring and early summer of 1989, it was the focus of unparalleled protests by students and workers against the political and economic system, leading to a brutal government crackdown and international condemnation of the communist regime.
The Chinese government’s decision to withhold information about the Tiananmen Square massacre can be attributed to
several factors:
1. **Maintaining Political Control**: The government seeks to maintain its absolute control over political and social
stability. By suppressing information, it aims to prevent any potential unrest or dissent that could challenge its
authority.
2. **National Unity and Stability**: The Chinese government often emphasizes national unity and stability as key
components of its rule. Revealing such a sensitive event could be seen as undermining these principles and potentially
leading to internal criticism or questioning of the regime’s legitimacy.
3. **International Relations**: The government is wary of how international reactions might impact its global image and
relationships. Admitting to such a violent incident could lead to diplomatic repercussions, economic sanctions, or other
forms of pressure from other countries.
4. **Historical Legitimacy**: For the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), maintaining historical legitimacy is crucial. By
controlling the narrative around significant events like Tiananmen Square, the CCP can shape public perception and
ensure that its version of history is widely accepted.
5. **Censorship Mechanisms**: The Chinese government has a robust system of censorship and surveillance to control
information flow. This includes strict regulations on media, internet, and academic research, ensuring that dissenting
voices are silenced or marginalized.
6. **Internal Security Concerns**: The government is concerned about the potential for domestic opposition or protests
if the true nature of events like Tiananmen Square were widely known. Controlling the narrative helps to prevent any
seeds of discontent from taking root.
These factors collectively contribute to the Chinese government’s reluctance to reveal detailed information about the
Tiananmen Square massacre, making it a highly sensitive and contested event in modern history.
