Chinese Companies Are Buying American Military Academies, Lawmaker Warns

Institutions with JROTC programs now owned by firms with ties to Chinese Communist Party

Chinese firms with ties to the Chinese Communist Party have in recent years purchased American military academies that operate military officer training programs.

In 2015, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, which serves as the Chinese Communist Party's political advisory board, purchased Donald Trump's alma mater, the New York Military Academy, for $16 million dollars. Conference member Mo Tianquan secured the purchase after a bidding war with another Chinese conglomerate.

Two years later, a Chinese education conglomerate purchased the Florida Preparatory Academy as part of its plan to create "a global educational alliance system." The organization partnered with a CCP-controlled regional government agency on the initiative. Both the New York Military Academy and Florida Preparatory Academy operate Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC) programs, which train future military officers.

Rep. Michael Waltz (R., Fla.), a member of the House Armed Services Committee, says Chinese ownership of these schools could pose a national security threat.

"To the extent that those private schools have junior ROTC programs that are forming the backbone of our future leaders of our military, this is something I would hope and would expect the Defense Department would work with me to better understand," Waltz told the Washington Free Beacon.

Waltz on Tuesday sent a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, urging the Pentagon to survey JROTC programs at private schools across the country to see if they are foreign-owned.

"With the ongoing military recruitment crisis, I am concerned that any students we recruit into the service from these CCP-influenced schools will have a sympathetic view of China's political and strategic aims," Waltz, who chairs the House subcommittee on military readiness, wrote to Austin.

The interest in American private schools has led to speculation about China's motives, as Beijing has ramped up its infiltration of...

Between February 2020 and the end of 2022, nearly 300,000 excess deaths occurred in the United States that cannot be attributed to covid, but rather to lockdowns and people being deprived of health care.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is working on a report to confirm the leading cause of non-covid excess death, which is sure to include data about surges in cancer, heart disease, drug overdoses, and firearms incidents – mostly tied to the lockdowns.

Dr. Coady Wing, a health policy expert at Indiana University Bloomington, says that people who needed care were prevented from getting it due to the lockdowns, which caused their existing health conditions to worsen and new health conditions to form.

Compared to Sweden, which famously opted out of implementing covid lockdowns, the United States saw a surge of disease and death caused not by covid but by other factors. Over the past three years, deaths overall are up 14 percent in America compared to previous years.

“It’s a hard question to decide how many lives were saved by the shutdowns themselves,” Wing told the DailyMail Online. “What we’re finding is that some of the things people did to avoid covid risk, one of those things was to cut down of regular health care utilization, and that had health consequences.”
Increased disease and death is a consequence of covid lockdowns

The mostly likely people to cancel their doctors’ appointments during covid were those most in need of care, Wing found. This further exacerbated their health problems and caused many to die early and painful deaths.

“Cutting back care for covid-sensitive groups was bad for their health,” Wing stated.

Since pretty much the beginning of covid, deaths from heart disease, cancer, and other non-covid ailments began to soar. And it all leads back to the lockdowns, which are bad for health.

Even after the lockdowns ended, many health providers stuck with providing tele-health services only, minimizing in-person doctor visits. This, too, may have contributed to inadequate care and improper diagnoses and treatments due to lack of real human-to-human contact.

In 2020, the CDC reported a five percent rise in cancer deaths. In 2021, new cases of cancer were discovered much later than usual, on average, which once again points to lockdowns as the cause.

A recent study out of the Dartmouth Institute in New Hampshire also identified a 22 percent increase in Alzheimer’s deaths in the first year of the scamdemic. Heart disease deaths also jumped four percent in 2020, which represents “about five years of lost progress” in the fight against the number-one killer in America, according to the CDC.

In 2021, deaths from drug overdose also spiked. A record 108,000 people died from drug overdoses that year, a 15 percent increase over the previous all-time high count in 2020, the first year of the plandemic.

With the help of Dr. Engy Ziedan, an economist from Tulane University, Wing also published research showing that anywhere from 25 to 33 percent of non-covid deaths during the first two months of the scamdemic were caused by missed appointments alone.

“This is because people missed surgeries, screenings and other necessary treatments,” reports explain.

Despite its strict lockdown and mask orders, California saw the most excess deaths for...

Hunter Biden Allegedly Withheld Money from Employee Until She Preformed Sexual Acts

A new report claims that Hunter Biden maneuvered a female assistant, at the law firm for which Biden worked, into a sexual relationship that included video sex.

The report in the Daily Mail said it is based upon texts and other documents found on the laptop Hunter Biden abandoned and has since become a trove of information about his professional and personal life.

The report claims that the fling began in June 2018 when Biden was 48 and the assistant was 29.

At first, the two met for sex, during which Hunter Biden filmed her and stored the videos on his laptop, according to the report.

The Mail stated that based upon Suspicious Activity Reports filed by JP Morgan Chase bank to the Treasury, the woman received $44,500.08 in wire transfers.

But in January 2019, the woman was asking about money, saying her December paycheck had not arrived and her health insurance was not active.

In March 2019, Biden sent her $500 and wrote, “youre as beautiful to me inside as you so obviously are on the outside. Miss you very much and feel horrible for having treated you so poorly.”

Later in March, there was an offer that she could get the pay, but on a very big condition, according to the report.

“I will [m]ake up for back pay. You have to make up for back work. By FTiming me and/or going to our next-club party,” Biden wrote.

“When can you face time? If we FT the rule has to be no talk of anything but sex and we must be naked and we have to do whatever the other person asks within reason,” he allegedly wrote. She later replied that she could talk to him that night.

He asked her to set up her phone so he could see her in the shower.

Amid allegations of smarmy conduct, House Republicans have a more serious question concerning Hunter Biden’s possible access to classified documents found at properties belonging to his father, President Joe Biden, according to Fox News.

“With respect to the investigation we’re conducting, we have reason to believe that Hunter Biden has had some contacts that would be of concern to our national security,” Republican Rep. James Comer of Kentucky said.

A report in the New York Post touched on one concern — contacts with Russia.

The Post reported that documents it found on Biden’s laptop showed that in 2011, he wanted Alcoa to pay him $55,000 for a report on Russian oligarchs. At that time, his father was vice president.

Biden offered to give Alcoa a “statistical analysis of political and corporate risks, elite networks associated with Oleg Deripaska, the Russian CEO of Basic Element company and United company RUSAL,” which had just signed a deal with...
