As drone sightings increase, many of the aircrafts have been spotted spying on military bases located next to Chinese-owned farmland. Meanwhile, officials are being asked to use encrypted means of communication following a Chinese cyberattack. What is going on in America?
From The New York Post. At least 17 military bases adjacent to Chinese-owned farmland across the US have experienced a rash of drone sightings in recent weeks, The Post has learned.

Mysterious drones have been reported near military bases in Hawaii and by installations in Utah, California, Maine and Florida — among other facilities scattered throughout the country.
The Post previously identified 19 military bases that lie close to farmland bought up by Chinese-owned companies …
All of those facilities apart from Grand Forks Air Force Base in North Dakota and Joint Base San Antonio-Camp Bullis in Texas had reports of drones either attempting to fly over their bases or nearby, according to local reports.
It comes as residents in New York and New Jersey have reported thousands of sightings of unexplained mystery drones in the night skies.
House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) said Tuesday he believes some of the unidentified craft are “spy drones” from China. …
In Southern California, drones were reported over Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton in recent days. …
At the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, officials were forced to shuts its airspace for four hours last week because of concern about the “small unmanned aerial systems,” Bob Purtiman, chief spokesman for the 88th Air Base Wing, told The Post.
In Virginia, drones have been spotted over Virginia Beach, which is about 24 miles from the naval station in Norfolk.
Meanwhile, in Washington state, mysterious drones were also spotted earlier this week close to the Fort Lewis Army base near Tacoma.
Unidentified aircraft have also been reported this month above New Jersey’s Picatinny Arsenal and the state’s Naval Weapons Station Earle — and on Sunday forced the temporary closure of Stewart International Airport in New York near Poughkeepsie.
Sources have previously raised their concerns to The Post over Chinese landowners, who are usually linked to, or working on behalf of, the country’s Communist government.
Morgan Lerette, a former contractor for private military contractor Blackwater, previously told The Post: “The Chinese are, or will, use this farmland to learn more about US military capabilities, movements, and technology. …
From The Epoch Times. A federal agency on Wednesday issued urgent written guidance to top government officials and politicians to immediately stop using standard phone calls and text messages after major U.S. telecommunications companies were targeted by Chinese hackers.
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) said in guidance that “individuals who are in senior government or senior political positions” should “immediately review and apply” best practices around using smartphones.
“Use only end-to-end encrypted communications,” it said …
End-to-end encryption refers to data protection that makes information unreadable except for the sender and its recipient. A number of chat apps including WhatsApp, Signal, iMessage, BrightChat, and others already have end-to-end encryption.
Regular phone calls and text messages are not end-to-end encrypted, meaning they can be monitored, either by telephone companies, law enforcement, or potentially by hackers.
The warning follows a prior notice issued by the FBI and CISA earlier this month that Americans should opt to use encryption. Wednesday’s guidance specifically tells high-level government and elected officials to quickly start using it.
Previously, CISA warned that Chinese regime-linked hackers known as “Salt Typhoon” have hacked into U.S. telecommunications systems and may be able to obtain sensitive data on individuals. …

The best understanding of how to deal with drones is being worked out in the battlefields of Ukraine. So, the tables have turned, and we are in a position of needing their insights. Supporting Ukraine has not been the loss that some have tried to imply because supporting Ukraine has helped on several fronts. After all, it was because Russia has been throwing so much of their resources toward Ukraine that they weren’t able to prop up Assad which opened the door for his fall and the recasting of players in the Middle East. In other words, supporting Ukraine was good strategy. That is what some have failed to understand– all of these points of conflict are related–the South China Sea, Taiwan, Israel, and Ukraine. China, Russia, North Korea and Iran have formed an axis and please notice, not forming, formed, as in the past tense. This is why we need good leadership to head the Department of Defense. What we don’t need a journalist. The focus of choosing a leaders should not just be based on trans issues.
Dear Heavenly Father, we pray that no weapon formed against the Inited States will prosper and any tongue that rises against us we put down. We pray the truth about the origins of the drones will be revealed. We pray You rebuke any plans of the US Gov to unjustifiably surveil US citizens and maintain the strength of our God given Constitutional rights will be re-established and strengthened., in Jesus name we pray.
How the heck was it allowed to sell Chinese our farmland?? Why?? Even close to a military base!! How stupid!!
The farmland was privately owned, so landowners could sell to whoever offered highest price.
The military did not sell the land and has no jurisdiction over privately owned land. Both North and South Dakota passed laws prohibiting the sale of any land in the state to China or Chinese owned business or corporations.
Lord Jesus, this out right spying on our military bases should not be.
I pray for our leaders to wake up, and be the leaders that their position requires them to be. I pray for them to be bold when it comes to China and all other important issues of governance. I ask that you will place in our leaders wether, state or federal to force China to sell back all land they own back to US citizens and US owned businesses. This is a tenuous hour Lord. Please bring peace back to the world stage.
De escalate the tension in the world Father God.
I praise you and give you the glory.
Amen
If the owners of the drones flying the skies in America were all private citizens, surely someone would have come forward to explain and thus assure the public of what is really happening. Sorry but I doubt too many believe the garbage put out by the White House.
