Paper Tiger Hidden Dragon

Misdirection is a key to politics. When you see politicians yammering on a topic (misdirecting) that some news person didn’t ask about, we all know that is what is happening. When it is done by Gubmint, only Democrats believe.

In this post, as a non-spy but technically educated person, I am attempting to explain both the false message from the globalists and the reason this is important. There is some conjecture that will surely incite the troll class, but if you are an edcuated reader of care, this will make perfect sense.

The Chinese ‘Spy Balloon’ Story As Manufactured Crisis: An Alternative Reading

Read the story at risk to your own IQ, because it will cause damage. This is the kind of thing you don’t want to read if you vote left.

So the author wants you to believe that the air currents cannot be predicted a week in advance. It turns out that the concept is patently false. In fact, the general air currents circumnavigate the globe. A small bit of control to obtain the right altitude or a slight shift can make a huge difference.

Using this free online NOAA model available across the globe, you can even do it yourself!! After seeing this, I gave it a shot for a half hour. Not too hard to figure out.

Here is the bit from the fake, lying US defense department through the Washington Compost.

Payload wouldn’t offer much.

No serious intelligence threat.

This is what I wrote yesterday, and it makes more sense.

radio signals of all kinds are far less inter-combined when you are at 12 miles vs 300. This is probably a communication interceptor.

Discussion:

The central hub in the best image appeared to me to be an optical telescope. This may or may not be the case but I don’t think that was the important bit.

A satellite will really struggle to pick up significant amounts of multiple regional radio communications. A parabolic dish can help over a small area, but if you want to see what is going on over a specific area at a distance of 300 miles altitude, you are definitely limited in time – satellites whip by quickly in orbit, and space — parabolic antennas (radio collimators) at that distance need to be very focused to pick up a couple of watts.

In this image, I see the potential for a nice long-wave antenna across those solar panels. A wide band receiver/transmitter setup on a balloon has a significant advantage to move quite a lot of relevant data. For instance, how will US ICBM sites react to an overfly? What communications do you pick up and what wavelengths need to be jammed?

If you want to decode the most encrypted military channels, you need a lot of data to practice with. A short message doesn’t provide enough pattern to run even the best decryption systems. Now China has a lot of that from military niceties in the Pacific region, if you think we use the same encryption and communication in the aging ICBM facilities, you are not paying attention.

The point is, that you can’t get certain information from a satellite. That is why all countries have layered intelligence gathering methods. Parabolic dishes are focused and ground-based horizontally focused line-of-site type transmissions could be nearly impossible to detect without a dedicated 22,000 mile station keeping satellite.

Even if I’m completely wrong about this particular spy balloon’s actual radio interception function, no nation would let a spy balloon (described by the Pentagon), overfly their main strategic defense facilities. Except for the US when run by an un-elected, corrupt potato.

From our side, we certainly have our own US dedicated giant parabola satellites in geostationary orbit which is at a MUCH higher orbit (22,000) miles, than most optical spy satellites. These satellites hover over the same point at all times and when positioned by the launch vehicle, directly over the US, are likely used primarily to spy on US citizens cell and radio transmissions. This is also conjecture but would be impossible to not be true and I wrote all of this before finding this link. Guess what you can do with a 100 freaking meter parabola? That type of satellite would be able to intercept sub-watt transmissions from a balloon and allow the defense group to potentially decode them. Also, if you know which China satellite is intended for receipt of the balloon info, you could actually overwhelm the receiver fairly easily from a ground station parabolic antenna transmission array. That kind of warfare is highly secret at this point, but pretty obviously exists as it is well within our technology to do so. Obviously, China knew all of this before consideration of building the balloon.

So… say you are China and you know you might get jammed. You need to send the data back home. You would use high power burst (short) transmissions on different frequencies with balloon level data storage and multiple retransmission from the balloon etc.. Perhaps if the balloon passes into an area where jamming is not possible, you may get successful receipt of your data. All done with huge parabolic antennae in geosynchronous orbit to receive the data. Maybe you drop a package for later pickup. EDIT, the video of the bright flash over Montana two days after the balloon passed seems to have disappeared from the internet. Odd. The contrail video is all that is left.

The whole time, data is being collected by both sides. What is the US response to spy overflight, what is China’s encryption style, what satellite do we think is picking up the signal? To call it not-serious and irrelevant, is a lie for the chicken brain citizen class to feel good, nothing more. Don’t be one of them.

All of this is conjecture based on my own understanding of technology and has nothing whatsoever to do with top secret documents I’ve ever seen or found in my garage. It all seems pretty basic, and I’m sure the real story is much bigger than my own imagination. After all, this was a high-visibility operation.

This was a very bold move by China, and it was in no way benign. I hope top secret Chinese spy balloon code name was ‘Paper Tiger, Hidden Dragon’ because otherwise, they missed a great opportunity. If you fall for the story of this being a big NOTHING, you are an idiot. That is not my fault.
