Just saw where the people in several states have been receiving seed packets from China. The ag. department says whatever you do don't open them or plant them. They are still trying to figure it out.

Man that's taking germ warfare to a whole new level. I've been seeing the stories too. Curious to see what they really are. Might be mail in ballots.

I'm betting there are enough knowledgeable orientals, including Chinese, in the country that they know what it is already.

Time to open back up the all the old World War II
internment camps they used for the Japs.

Roundup all the Chinese nationals who
are not citizens and hold them there
until they can all be deported back to China.

The Chinese Communists are at war with our
country and we shouldn't wait until they deliver
the knock-out blow to our nation to act.

We need to prempt their aggression and
slap-tame them back into line.

The longer we wait, the more painful our
battle to keep their hegemony in check will be.

Around 50,000 Chinese women come to the US every year to have their babies born here, so that the babies are US citizens. They do this so they can purchase US infrastructure that foreign nationals are not permitted to own and to cheat the system. This should not be allowed.

Tall tale?

It's being reported extensively. Even China-loving CNN, The New York Times and Reuters are reporting on this.

Well Mainer, like many things. this is another thing where the truth will eventually reveal itself. Personally, I am gratified that you still rely on these "insitutions" to keep you informed.

A lot of those babies would not be allowed to stay alive after being born in China. With a population of 1.5 billion they really don't want any more girls to get pregnant.

Chinese Communist Government is committed to

asymmetrical warfare of all types to take the fight to the United States.

They may have already opened their biological weapons portion

of the fight with Covid-19, and perhaps now they are going after

our world class agricultural system and food supply. shocked

There was a very bad loop=hole in the last trade agreement. well actually USA did not sign off on the Pacific rim trade pac.
country of origin does not have to go on the label....it can be replaced with :packaged in so-and-so

go to a large seed company and they usually post what country supplies what seeds to them. Usually it is a globe and you click on the country,,,and vala

Chile produces a ton of seeds especially petunia's because the greenhouse can be separated by mountain ridges and the bees cant fly over to cross-pollinate. Each flower is one seed so that's why they are so expensive. With c-19 hitting them hard this summer it is going to get interesting next fall for the USA seed company's orders to be filled.

China stopped limiting couples to one child 4 years ago. They want population growth now. If you read any of the large number of articles on it, none of them state that the the reason for American births is to have girls.

Heard about this at work today, also. Received emails about the seeds from two major brokers that we clear through. Neither one is into ambulance chasing, so my interest is piqued, for the time being. I think it's ironic they close the Houston consulate and within the same time frame these mysterious chinese seeds start randomly showing up in pretry specific places. That being said, some lady also stated she received earrings in an unmarked box from China , too. So there's that. To be honest, the pics I've seen make the seeds look like pickling spices or those seed in a potpourri thingy

laugh Oh I wouldn't be too pleased with my reference of these rags. Their mention was to simply draw attention to ubiquity of the reports, so much so that even the most jaundiced of "institutions" like The New York Times and Reuters couldn't overcome their favored predisposition towards China and bury the story as we all would expect.

The truth of the reports is merely that seed packets from China are arriving in people's mailboxes across several states from Washington to Kentucky for no apparent reason or explanation. So from the reports thus far, no tall tales are on offer quite yet.
