Communist China is making fast progress in building space weapons, and appears to be working on large combat platforms that can attack satellite targets in multiple orbits. The Communist Chinese are evidently planning to blind not only America’s military but also America’s civilian society, which is heavily dependent on space assets. Almost nothing modern in America will work when the Chinese are finished attacking in the heavens.

The illusion of invincible superiority, the delusion that there are no real enemies any longer, or that our enemies are actually good guys that will see things our way have created a situation wherein there easily could come a day when all the glowing screens Americans are so dependent upon — most beleiving that which they hold in their hand and glows is more vital to them than their lungs, or almost anything else — will never go dark and dead.

Nevermore.

Because most are unaware of how their crutches have been made possible, their idols made possible, and just how fragile it all is.

Mankind no longer has systems in place whereupon how they function on earth is tethered to the things they made and keep on earth. For decades now, all things deemed vital and we could not live without — television, phone service, the Internet, computers, and now tablets, smartwatches, and smartphones — are ALL tied to those instruments circling the spinning sphere many miles above the surface. Susceptible to terrorism. Susceptible to acts of war. Rendering the American military, the American government, and the American people impotent. Shut down. Shut out. In the dark.

Ponder, really pause and ponder what that would mean and bring about throughout America.

Think people would remain calm, rational, non-violent, not opportunist, not gone utterly mad — nuts — if such a thing happens. And it is not only possible, it is likely.

Conquered easily by our real enemies.

All possible.

All in the works.

Without firing a shot or having one soldier need to set foot on American soil.

Due to our naivety, our delusion, our refusing to see, to act, to live, build, and act as if we knew human nature, if we knew history, if we we not so gullible, soft, and easily deceived.

A space Pearl Harbor is not only very possible — such an event is very likely to occur in the end times, throwing America into utter disarray, confusion, emotional breakdown, all systems breakdown, and lawlessness abounding as never before.

All very possible. All likely to occur. Because America has very real enemies that have not been viewed or treated as such for enemies — and the tragic irony is WE CREATED THEM.

WE MADE PRESENT DAY COMMUNIST CHINA POSSIBLE — due to our greed, our ignorance. It is the American corporations, American government, American people who have made Communist China the nation it is today. With our money. In the trillions.

Weakening America, moving almost everything made and then bought by Americans from being made in America to being made in Communist China.

Ignorant and unaware that EVERY corporation, EVERY business desiring to do business in Communist China must agree to allowing the Communist Chinese government to own a percentage of their business, above and beyond all the profits garnered from Americans becoming so dependent on Chinese made things, as what is mostly made in America now is garbage. Refuse from all the packaging.

Naive. Greedy. Ignorant.

Such defects within a society must be reckoned with one way or another. Either in an awakening, an awareness, and a major course correction — or in that societies becoming enslaved to the enemy they refused to acknowledge as an enemy and in reality created due to their greed and ignorance.

Thank Henry Kissinger, thank Richard Milhous Nixon, thank every U.S. Congress over the past 50 plus years, thank every executive administration — all of them — over the past 50 plus years, thank every American corporation and business that put all their manufacturing in Communist China over the past 50 plus years, and thank the American, the every day regular, we’re all in it together American who refused to ever think, become aware, or do anything about this. And we, the people, had the power to do something about it. But we are so self-involved, so otherwise busy, so deluded, so naive, so blind, so greedy, we refused to do a thing.

Now we live with our actions and our inactions.

How does that foolish, ridiculous illusion in the mind of — “It never happened before, so it will never happen” — play out? Complacency, arrogance, delusion, illusion in invincible superiority, and that we can talk, bribe any enemy into coming around.

Oh yeah, that’ll work, right?

It has done so well for U.S. over the past 70 years or so, hasn’t it?

Arrogance and illusion only lead to complacency, leading to an enemy having a much easier time in conquering and defeating, enslaving a nation, a people.

It’s history. Too bad so many refuse to know it, believe it, and are so selfish, so self-absorbed and naive.

This is what happens to a nation, a people who once were the greatest nation on earth due to their trust, their faith, their very creation, due to their faith in the God of the whole Holy Bible, and their turning from that faith.

It’s Biblical. It’s historical. It’s Biblical history. It’s the nature of man refusing the Word and ways of the LORD.

Communist China Is Taking War to Earth Orbits: A ‘Space Pearl Harbor’ Is on the Way

by Gordon G. Chang

 

 

“With our commercial assets, we have observed five different objects in space maneuvering in and out and around each other in synchronicity and in control,” the U.S. Space Force’s Vice Chief of Space Operations Gen. Michael Guetlein told the 16th annual McAleese Defense Programs conference in Arlington, Virginia on March 18. “That’s what we call dogfighting in space. They are practicing tactics, techniques and procedures to do on-orbit space operations from one satellite to another.”

Guetlein’s stark comment about Communist China signals a break with the past. “This marks the end of the Western-American-liberal dream of nations leaving wars on Earth so they can cooperate in space to advance humanity,” Richard Fisher of the International Assessment and Strategy Center told Gatestone after the general’s widely publicized remarks. “Communist China has now taken war to the heavens, to low earth orbit, and very likely, will take war to the moon, Mars, and beyond. The heavens are no longer safe for the democracies.”

Space is now a highly contested domain, but it wasn’t always this way. “We told ourselves we would be the dominant power forever,” Brandon Weichert, author of Winning Space: How America Remains a Superpower, said to Gatestone. “We coasted on that notion for far too long. Rising powers, notably China and Russia, saw how reliant we were on space—and how poorly defended our systems were. Our access to the strategic high ground is now more threatened than ever before.”

As Weichert points out, “bureaucratic inertia and a lack of visionary leadership from both political parties” allowed Communist China and Russia to develop the capabilities to threaten America in space.

There was another party at fault: The U.S. military failed to protest when it could see there was an obvious threat. “There was a gentlemen’s agreement until recent that we didn’t mess with each other’s space systems,” Guetlein said. “We didn’t jam them, we didn’t spoof them, we didn’t lase them, we just kept them safe.”

Why was the U.S. so gentlemanly? Presidents believed that because the U.S. had more space assets than others, it was not in America’s interest to trigger a race to build weapons to destroy those assets. Yet this view, appearing commonsense at first glance, was naïve: It was apparent even then that neither China nor Russia could be enticed into good behavior. Generals and admirals should have sounded the warning.

There was a lot to warn about. On January 11, 2007, for instance, China demonstrated its intentions by launching a modified ground-based DF-21 missile to destroy an old Chinese weather satellite.

In 2022, a Chinese satellite “grappled” a defunct Chinese satellite and towed it to a “graveyard orbit.”

Moreover, as Fisher notes, China had already configured its one large orbiting platform, the Tiangong Space Station, for military missions as well as civilian ones. One of its modules can launch either very small satellites that can perform interception missions or satellites carrying powerful laser and microwave weapons that can destroy satellites in multiple orbits.

What was the American response to the obvious Chinese advances in space-warfare capabilities? Vice President Kamala Harris in April 2022 announced a unilateral moratorium on ground-launched anti-satellite missile tests, in the hopes that other nations would follow suit.

With this posture, it is no wonder why America’s lead in space warfare—if it exists—is narrowing.

Now, China is making fast progress in building space weapons. “The Chinese ISR”—intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance—”capabilities are become very capable,” said Guetlein. “They have gone from what we used to call a ‘Kill Chain’ to a ‘Kill Mesh.'” A Kill Mesh combines ISR satellites with an array of weapons systems.

The Chinese array appears impressive. As Fisher points out, the People’s Liberation Army has developed ground-based ASAT—anti-satellite—interceptors to destroy satellites in both low earth orbit and much higher medium earth orbits. At the same time, China, as Guetlein’s comments make clear, is working on “co-orbital” interceptors, satellites that can follow, approach, dock with, or use robotic arms to grapple other satellites into useless orbits.

For the future, Fisher reports, China is developing large, unmanned space planes that can re-enter the atmosphere to maneuver toward a new orbit and then relaunch into space to deploy energy and missile weapons. The PLA also appears to be working on large combat platforms that can attack satellite targets in multiple orbits. Expect the Chinese military also to deploy clusters of combat satellites to attack the Lunar and Martian satellite networks of the future.

“The recent demonstration of Chinese ‘dogfighting’ capabilities in space is an indicator that Beijing means to use force on earth,” says Weichert. “By targeting sensitive U.S. military satellites, the People’s Liberation Army can render us deaf, dumb, and blind, long before it strikes.”

The Chinese are evidently planning to blind not only America’s military but also America’s civilian society, which is heavily dependent on space assets. Almost nothing modern in America will work when the Chinese are finished attacking in the heavens.

As Weichert said, “A space Pearl Harbor is at hand.”
