Why is the Media Highlighting the Internet Conspiracy that the Chinese Have Invaded Canada?
The media should stop publishing every wacky claim on the Internet. Who besides wack jobs would believe the Chinese military is massing on the Maine border?:

It may seem like an updated version of the 1966 comedy “The Russians Are Coming! The Russians are Coming!” but there is nothing funny about conspiratorial ravings from the Twitterverse that Chinese troops massed along the border with Maine were schwacked in an airstrike.
Recent posts from a QAnon-backing Twitter handle with nearly 50,000 followers claimed that tens of thousands of Chinese troops had amassed along Maine’s border with Canada and that an F-16 fighter that crashed last week in Michigan was actually shot down — presumably by the Chinese.

I know ROK Heads are smart enough to know this is a bunch of rubbish. However, the media continues to have their fascination with the QAnon site and amplifies all their wild claims by publishing them. Before the Internet, newspapers did not amplify the rantings of every village idiot and that is basically what anyone that believes the Chinese Army is massing in Canada is.
It seems the media highlights the rantings of our modern day village idiots as an act of sensationalism to get page clicks. That is why I did not put the link to this article on this posting. I think the rantings of QAnon says more about the state of the modern American media than it does them.
Well its not a physical invasion, that is true; but an invasion by other means.
Qanon is a 4chan “joke” like the okay sign meaning white power. The media lap up stuff like that because they’re intellectually very lazy.
I remember a couple friends being duped by claims of thousands of sealed indictments. “Trust Jeff Sessions,” they said. Well, we’re still waiting…
The Chinese bought their way into America. The honest ones by virtue of hard work, others like every other mafia-type organization by corrupting eager politicians. Same as it ever was.
Someone should look at how old Air Force and Navy runways are used after the bases are shut down. Loring AFB (see the area across from the old SAC “Christmas Tree”) and Dallas NAS were both filled with vehicles to be scrapped. Look them up in your favorite satellite photo website.
They do the same thing with old tanks and AFVs, though I don’t know which bases have them now.
Beijing boy’s wet dream.
