    There’s many factors but it’s crazy that with the conspiracy nuts it never registers that the collapse of the Chinese economy has coincided with a global pandemic.

    I just never understood the theory that China would create a pandemic purposefully, without a vaccine, and have patient zero in their own backyard.

    Incompetence and cover up… sure… but massive conspiracy in collusion with Hunter Biden and Dr Fauci…. Yeah no. I am more convinced that the moon landing was faked. At least the US had incentive in that conspiracy.

    How high is this thing? Is it just out of our reach where we could lasso it and set it down? Where is El●n?

    The guy in Montana who captured the video (Todd Hewett) is the son of a family friend of mine. Crazy.

    Also, I live in Billings and I have personally seen several military helicopters flying over and around the city today. They appeared to be Chinooks and Black Hawks.

    Weird day up here.

    The local Billings CBS affiliate tweeted this tonight.

    I knew China was dangerous, but I could never imagine they had balloon technology.

    you know your reporting is top-notch when you can find a barbecue chef to go on the record with his foreign policy recommendations

    A Giant Balloon Floats Into Town, and It’s All Anyone Can Talk About
    A Chinese balloon has been raising a lot of questions for people who live under its path. “I did see it, and it should have been shot,” said a barbecue chef in Billings, Mont.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/03/us/montana-china-spy-balloon.html

    excerpt:

    “We should take care of our security a lot better,” said Chet Cole, who works at the Marble Table restaurant in Billings. “If a balloon makes it this far to Montana, then somebody’s not doing a job with national security.”
    well so there you have it . . . I think we ALL know who Chet is talking about

    I'm sure the fact that it's over Montana has to do with our nuclear program.

    It's now over Kansas City so it probably has something to do with the Super Bowl

    According to my sources - (@basso) - the balloon may have leaked from a Chinese lab

    Party City is in shambles after losing balloon size of three city buses during routine curbside pickup.
