Editor’s Note: In this essay, retired Sacramento County criminal investigator, Roger Kaseman, examines the possible (if not probable) motivations behind the Chinese “corn mill” near Grand Forks Air Force Base. Truly a chilling account of what appears to be part of a grand plan by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) to spy on our military. What’s their goal? Read on:
Part Three On The Grand Forks Corn Mill, 5G phones, Global Hawk, and China.
A right-minded person would ask why China picked Grand Forks as the site for their corn mill; the wrong minded, especially political leaders, will see dollars $$$$$ that will enhance their power.
Here are a few points to consider when sorting out China's motive for placing the plant in proximity of the Grand Forks AFB.
A few years ago, a U.S. Air Force officer pushed a button that launched a Global Hawk from an airfield in the Los Angeles area. Twenty-two hours later, the Global Hawk landed at an airbase in Australia. The flight was pre-programmed; there was minimal human input during the flight. The Air Force did the flight to show the world, friend and foe, that they could do it.
On February 21, 2008, a Navy fire control officer aboard the Destroyer USS Lake Erie, pushed a button that launched a SM-3 surface to air missile. Three minutes later, the missile scored a direct hit on a U.S. spy satellite the size of a school bus that was falling to earth. The mission tested a missile designed to shoot down other missiles. The SM-3 worked to perfection.
On November 17, 2020, the U.S. Army fired an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile from the Ronald Reagan Ballistic Missile Defense Test Site on the Pacific Atoll of Kwajalein toward a target area northeast of Hawaii. The USS John Finn, an Arleigh Burke Class destroyer equipped with an Aegis Baseline 9 weapons system, fired a SM-3IIA missile that scored a direct hit on the ICBM. The ICBM shoot-down showed the Chinese and the Russians that the ICBM missiles they have pointed at us are for the most part useless.
In February of 2022, the United States Navy shot down a drone using a high-energy laser. Since the laser fires at the speed of light, the weapon was able to target the drone's engine. Nine U.S. destroyers are equipped with the laser system,
Did you notice that the Ronald Reagan Ballistic Missile Defense Test Site on Kwajalein Atoll is named after Ronald Reagan. I believe that is a swipe at politically motivated Leftist "scientific" naysayers that opposed Regan's nuclear defense policy.
When Edward Teller, the theoretical physicist that developed the hydrogen bomb, proposed a space based defense system capable of shooting down nuclear armed missiles that the Soviet Union might fire at the continental United States, President Reagan listened to Teller's proposal and then ordered the Department of Defense to develop the missile defense system.
When Reagan announced the proposed high tech defense system to the public, a cabal of Leftist "scientists" and their media supporters labeled the system Star Wars. Leftist "scientists" proclaimed Reagan's defense system impossible. I remember one condescending "scientist" on a news program pointing out that hitting an ICBM with another rocket or laser beam would be like hitting a high velocity rifle bullet with another bullet. The "scientist" said that the software needed to control the Star Wars system would require 10 million lines of code, which the "scientist" said was an impossible programing task. The "scientist" and his "scientific" cohorts were the crazies in that debate; the Windows 11 operating system on the laptop I am writing on has 50 million lines of code. An Android operating system runs between 12 and 15 million lines of code. Not including back-end code, Facebook runs on 62 million lines of code. The software in some cars has 100 million lines of code. Google runs on 2 billion lines of code.
Research and development work on Reagan's Star Wars defense system was suspended when the Communist Dictatorship in the Soviet Union collapsed from internal rot. When the Navy received orders to shoot down the falling spy satellite, they used Reagan era research augmented by software written over a matter of days to do what "scientists" said could not be done; hit a high velocity bullet with another bullet. To clarify the problem that had to be solved in shooting down the satellite; a 55 grain 5.56 M-16 rifle round has a muzzle velocity of 3,150 feet per second which translates to 2,155 miles per hour. The target satellite was moving at 17,000 miles per hour.
In 1992, Chinese Air Force Colonel Qiao Liang, and Chinese Army Colonel Wang Xiangsui, published a book length military policy paper titled, Unrestricted Warfare: China's Master Plan to Destroy America. The title says all you need to know about China's plan for the United States.
Qiao and Wang wrote that no country can defeat a superpower like the United States in a conventional war. Qiao and Wang outline multiple unconventional lines of attack that will weaken the United States. Those lines of attack include manipulation of banking systems, control of the media, and control of natural resources.
Unrestricted Warfare (link provided) leaked. The Chinese High Command doubled down by publishing the book. The book is available on Amazon for all to read. I read the book in PDF form a few years ago.
What does all the above have to do with a Chinese corn plant in Grand Forks?
Colonels Qiao Liang, and Wang Xiangsui make it clear that Intelligence is a major component in China's unrestricted war on America. The proximity of the proposed corn plant to the Grand Forks Air Force Base is ideal for intercepting signals intelligence coming from the base. GFAFB is a signals intelligence goldmine. A Global Hawk in flight is leashed to a ground station by a radio frequency relayed by satellite. Intercepting and identifying the radio frequencies used to control a Global Hawk in flight would be invaluable to Chinese intelligence. A few years ago, the Chinese military launched their own GPS system with the goal of guiding nuclear armed cruise missiles to their target. A unit in the Indian intelligence service hacked into the Chinese system, and when the Chinese military test fired a cruise missile, operatives from India took control of the missile in flight, turned it away from the designated target to a target Indian intelligence picked. Imagine China being able to do that to a Global Hawk in flight. Hacking into the GFAFB unmanned flight control system would give Chinese intelligence access to Air Force flight control systems around the world. Imagine the value of taking control of our military computer networks as a tactic in the Unrestricted war that China is conducting on us every day on other fronts. Qiao and Wang make it clear that cyber warfare in the key tactic in China's Unrestricted war against the U.S.
I won't get into every Unrestricted War tactic that Qiao and Wang proposed and that the Dictator Xi Jinping is applying, with this exception: In Unrestricted Warfare, Qiao and Wang proposed demoralizing and weakening the American people by flooding the nation with illegal drugs. Fentanyl is the Chinese weapon of choice for that invasion. Chinese military and intelligence operatives are embedded with Mexican Cartels. China supplies the Mexican Cartels with the chemicals that the Cartels refined into Fentanyl then smuggle into the United States. Fentanyl is a covert chemical attack on the United States by China.
There are several aspects of the Grand Forks corn mill that are overlooked because they are not obvious, the first being UND Grand Forks.
UND has a School of Aerospace Sciences (link provided). In conjunction with the Aerospace School, UND flies the largest nonmilitary fleet of training aircraft in the world. The University recently opened an unmanned aircraft research center. UND offers the first unmanned aircraft systems degree program in the world. The New York Times called the UND campus the Silicon Valley of unmanned aircraft systems.
Unmanned aircraft flights are restricted by the FAA. The growing field of unmanned aircraft is so important that the FAA is in the process of approving the air space over most of North Dakota as a test range for unmanned aircraft. UND is allowed to fly their aircraft in restricted military airspace.
Imagine you are the Chinese intelligence officer assigned the mission of spying on United States Air Force reconnaissance aircraft like the Global Hawk. During your initial briefing, you are told that the U.S. Air Force flies Global Hawk reconnaissance missions from a base in North Dakota.
Your superiors assign a bonus mission: gather intelligence on UND School of Aerospace Sciences research, education, and flight training. Your superiors emphasize intelligence from the unmanned UND Aerospace School.
Your superiors in the Communist Party give you a week to develop an operational plan. Your operational plan is simple. Grand Forks is farm country. Build a corn plant. Use the plant as cover for an electronic spy operation. You tell your Communist bosses that Americans think in terms of economic gain; they can be bribed as long as they don't see the money they make as a bribe.
Once the corn plant is under construction, financed by U.S. banks, you suggest an academic exchange program; UND professors will teach at a Chinese university for a year while Chinese professors teach at the UND School of Aerospace Sciences. That will give the intelligence agents posing as professors access to the unmanned aircraft research UND is doing.
In order to maintain operational security, you will bring Chinese citizens to Grand Forks to manage the corn plant. The Chinese managers will pose as families but husband, wife, and young, attractive women will actually be intelligence operatives called Honey Pots in the spy trade.
Honey Pots are attractive, educated, dedicated Communist women that are recruited by intelligence agencies and trained to target policymakers, financial institutions, and military personnel to mention a few spy opportunities.
By day, the Grand Forks Honey Pots will attend high school and UND where they will troll for targets. At night they will patrol clubs and bars looking to hook up with Air Force personnel.
Infiltrate High School??? That's not crazy, if you think it through.
The first mission of any intelligence operation is to identify possible human assets and then to attempt to use those assets to obtain classified information. A percentage of GFAFB personnel, military and civilian, live in Grand Forks; a percentage of those individuals will have kids in high school. If a Honey Pot gets the cell number of the son or daughter of somebody that works on the Air Base, a sophisticated spy network can extrapolate a phone number and target the parent that works on the base.
I'll offer Ellen Rometsch as an example of a highly successful Honey Pot operation against the United States at the highest levels.
Rometsch was an agent with the East German Communist Party. Ellen was a looker. She sought out and married West German Air Force Sergeant Rolf Rometsch before he was assigned to the West German embassy in Washington, DC. This occurred at the start of the Kennedy Administration. Rolf was a stepping stone.
Rometsch laid just about every high ranking Senator and Representative as she worked her way up the Washington political pipeline with the help of Bobby Baker, assistant to Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson. Johnson, with Baker's help, moved Rometsch into the White House and under Jack Kennedy after he was elected president. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover's Agents had Rometsch under investigation. Once Hoover had the goods on Jack Kennedy, he briefed Attorney General Robert Kennedy on the ramifications of his brother's sexual relationship with an East German Communist spy, trysts that happened in the White House. Hoover wasn't interested in protecting national security. Jack Kennedy was going to replace Hoover; Hoover wanted to protect his job. Hoover struck a deal with Robert Kennedy; he would make the FBI investigation on Rometsch go away, if his brother kept him on as FBI Director. Bobby Kennedy agreed to Hoover's deal. Ben Bradlee, editor of the Washington Post and drinking buddy of Jack Kennedy, knew of Jack's affair with Rometsch. Bradley killed the Communist Spy Screw JFK story. Robert Kennedy had Rometsch arrested and put on a flight to Germany. (more on that: HERE)
I know that because Bobby Baker told Politico during an interview that after he arranged a first "date" between Kennedy and Rometsch, Kennedy called and told him that Rometsch gave him the best head job that he ever had. Baker said that Kennedy thanked him for introducing his to Rometsch. Baker confirmed to Politico that Rometsch was a regular at the White House when Jackie Kennedy was away, which was often.
Ellen Rometsch is just one example of how successful a Honey Pot operation can be. Jack Kennedy got naked with a known Communist spy in the White House. Kennedy didn't reveal any classified information to Rometsch; it was much worse.
Anatoly Dobrynin, Soviet Ambassador to the United States from 1962 to 1986. After Dobrynin returned to the USSR and retired, he wrote a book titled, In Confidence: Moscow's Ambassador to America's Six Cold War Presidents. Dobrynin disclosed that during the Cuban Missile crisis, he and Robert Kennedy met in secret to negotiate an end to the crisis. Without mentioning names and details, Dobrynin disclosed that Russian intelligence had direct means into the White House that allowed them to listen to conversations Jack and Bobby Kennedy had with National Security advisors. While Dobrynin tried to veil the details, it's clear that the KGB had the White House bugged. A string of hookers hired by the KGB carried bugs into the White House and planted them. Ellen Rometsch was one of the most successful.
There was a covert Tit for Tat exchange with the USSR during the Cold War; the CIA had Leonid Brezhnev's Limousine bugged. It wasn't a fair exchange; the Soviet Dictator got Tat out of the deal, while Jack Kennedy got the Tit.
Don't take my word on Ellen Rometsch. Search her name and read what comes up.
And finally this; A Chinese Intelligence Honey Pot named Feng Feng, AKA Christine Fang, did Representative Eric Swalwell, Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. Fang was a college student in the Bay area when she hooked up to Swalwell. She reported to her handler who worked out of the Chinese Consulate is San Francisco. Axios reported that Fang received her orders from Beijing.
If the Chinese were interested in producing food products from corn, the best place to build a plant would be Iowa or Illinois, the two top corn growing states. North Dakota produces a paltry amount of corn compared to those states. The Grand Force Air Base, and UND are targets for the Chinese; don't let anybody tell you different.
