Facts Matter

A top U.S. general just revealed that the Chinese spy balloon might have contained explosives inside of it, in order to self-destruct should it ever get compromised.

Furthermore, now that the balloon has been shot down and recovered, we know much more about it, including its dimensions, its payload, as well as its functionalities. However, the average person very likely knows just a small fraction of what the government does, and only whatever they’re willing to tell to us.

Regardless, let me break down for you what has been revealed thus far, after the U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard collected the debris from the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of North Carolina.

There was a chemical fire of epic proportions in Ohio, and despite what seems to be a media blackout, the Ohio government initiated a controlled chemical fire that was not only massive, but the after-effects might be a lot more deadly than what the official narrative might lead one to believe. Moreover, along that line, a journalist over in Ohio was just arrested while reporting on this giant disaster.

A freight train was derailed in the small town of East Palestine, Ohio, launching 50 of the cars off the tracks. Among those derailed cars, 10 of them contained hazardous materials. Specifically, they contained pressurized vinyl chloride, hydrogen chloride, as well as ethyl-hexyl acrylate—which are extremely toxic and carcinogenic chemicals.

Due to the potential for a giant uncontrolled explosion, Gov. Mike DeWine took the suggestion of the state’s Emergency Management Agency, and he authorized a controlled burning of the toxic materials. Although this solution does prevent the scenario of a giant explosion with shrapnel flying in all directions, the smoke and the effects of burning said mixture of chemicals is very toxic—so toxic, in fact, that it was used during World War I as a chemical weapon to kill soldiers hiding in their foxholes.

Under the orders of President Joe Biden, the U.S. military has just shot down an unidentified object flying over Alaska. At the moment, the Pentagon is not revealing whether this was another balloon, but they did say that this object was roughly the size of a car—which would make it significantly smaller than the earlier balloon, which was about 10 times that size.

While we covered the threat of a potential electromagnetic pulse attack in an earlier episode, since then, The Epoch Times was able to uncover footage from China showing how, as recently as five years ago, the Chinese Communist Party was testing the capability of deploying hypersonic missiles using giant balloons.

The federal government is already in the process of building a new headquarters for the FBI, and this new complex will be at least twice the size of the Pentagon.

There are two reasons for changing the location of the FBI building, one of which is that the FBI has grown too big, even for its current building. Out of about 35,000 of the FBI’s current employees, only a few thousand actively work the J. Edgar Hoover Building, leaving thousands of FBI agents to work at about a dozen other locations that are leased by the government in and around Washington, D.C. This has cost about $150 million a year.

The second issue has to do with the fact that the J. Edgar Hoover building takes up two square blocks of precious Washington, D.C., real estate. And so, by getting rid of it, the city plans to turn the site into housing units and retail locations, as well as to get rid of the eye sore that is the building itself.

After many years of being fed up with the policies coming out of Portland, over 30 percent of the counties in Oregon have voted to secede. Specifically, they voted to leave behind Oregon, and instead join the state of Idaho—in the process creating a new state that would be called Greater Idaho.

Out of the 36 total counties in Oregon, 11 of them have voted in favor of seceding because by and large, the people living there believe that their values are no longer being represented by the state legislature, which is dominated by extremely liberal politicians coming out of Portland.

On Feb. 2, the entire country woke up to the threat of a Chinese communist spy balloon floating above the skies of Montana, where some of America’s nuclear weapons are stored. The reason that it had been identified as a spy balloon from China is because the Pentagon came out and confirmed that fact.

And according to Brigadier General Pat Ryder, the balloon not only has some sort of a payload underneath the surveillance component, but at the same time, it has the power to maneuver.

About a month ago, a news publication called “The Reload” obtained a treasure trove of e-mails from inside the CDC, which revealed the fact that gun-control advocates successfully pressured the top officials within the agency to hide the number of times per year that Americans used guns in self-defense. But the story actually gets a lot deeper than that, because it reveals a new line of attack that gun-control advocates are using to gut the Second Amendment—something that they refer to as the Science of Gun Control, specifically, the statistics that were hurting their gun-control argument, by showing that guns were effective at protecting people’s lives.

The IRS issued a reminder to millions of Americans, urging them to apply for the Earned Income Tax Credit. This is a tax credit that last year averaged more than $2,000 per person, it’s a tax credit that tens of millions of Americans are eligible for—but it’s also a tax credit that about 20 percent of the people who qualify don’t claim.

When you run the numbers, it means that due to people not claiming this tax credit, the government gets to keep an additional $12 billion of our dollars.

One of the FBI special agents that spent years investigating alleged Trump-Russia collusion was himself just indicted for Russian collusion.

The FBI agent’s name is Charles McGonigal, and the charges against him include, among many other things, laundering money for and doing the bidding of a sanctioned Russian billionaire named Oleg Deripaska.

McGonigal was allegedly doing this at the very same time that he was supervising the FBI’s investigations into Russian billionaires.

The New York Times published a story referring to a gun that was used during a shooting as a “semiautomatic assault pistol.” However, on the other side, a giant movement is emerging across the whole country of counties becoming Second Amendment sanctuaries.

As of right now, over 61 percent of U.S. counties are “Second Amendment Sanctuaries.” That means that over three-fifths of all the counties in the country have put into place resolutions (or specific pieces of legislation) making it such that they will protect the Second Amendment against all encroachments by the federal
