China – the same people who assured us the Wuhan Lab
didn’t spread Coronavirus and cause the Covid19 pandemic
-tells us their balloon is only studying weather and had been
blown off course. Yet, it traveled across America,
‘coincidentally’ taking in sensitive nuclear hotspots. So, not to
burst your balloon, but to urge you to take the threat of China
more seriously, this podcast points out that, just because
China’s spy balloon has finally been shot down, it doesn’t
mean that it’s the end of the story.
We start with the classic French film, “The Red Balloon” and
see how it’s a metaphor for China’s balloon. You will hear
about the many nuances to this incident, from what makes
this terrorism to what China’s motives might be, to whether it
was a mistake for the U.S. to wait a week to shoot it down
You will hear about the psychological impact of this incident:
denial, terror, paranoia, globophobia (fear of balloons), and the
connection to the “War of the Worlds” radio broadcast by Orson
Welles, that sent Americans into a panic during similarly dark
times. That incident involved the threat of martians landing,
which bears striking similarities to the China balloon, Japan’s
W.W. II balloons, and 9/11.
You will hear more about China’s malicious plans for America,
including how the spy balloon could be their dry run making
way for balloons that carry nuclear weapons, and much more.
Freud once famously said, “Sometimes a cigar is only a cigar.”
But, a balloon is only a balloon when it doesn’t come from
China.
