The Spy Who loved U.S.

 

The Spymaster

I’ve recently been made aware of Dong Jingwei, the Chinese counterintelligence official that supposedly defected to the United States. I’d heard about this before but only in passing. Defections are notoriously hard to pin down. Countries deny the existence of a defector, or pretend it’s all a rumor while trying to parse the intelligence. The original report came from Red State, a conservative website. If the Washington Post had the story it would have been everywhere. Nearly every piece I read was from June of last year; I didn’t find anything after that.

The War Within

To me the most interesting (telling?) part of the defection is who Dong defected to—the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). That’s not how defections usually work. A spy that wants to defect usually goes through the CIA. Since they have case officers all over the world it’s typical to use them. But this is a high level official. It’s not really correct to call him a spy, it’s more like if our Director of National Intelligence (Avril Haines) packed a suitcase with terabytes of the most highly classified information and bought a ticket for Beijing. It’s literally the biggest defection in history, a massive win.

One source I read said he came with his daughter (a UCLA student) in February. That’s when the deed was done apparently. They went through Hong Kong instead of going to an embassy in country. There is a reason for that which I’ll show later. We don’t know how long he has been here. Red State first reported on it June but it never became a huge story, probably because it was a conservative site that reported on it.

Denial

China for their part deleted all reference to him on their official websites. They did post a picture of him from a state security conference. It might be a real photo but the image has no date context. Newspapers run by the party make reference to him conducting business as usual. Anyway no believes the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) so their clunky attempts at messaging get ignored just like their conferences. The State Department also flat out denied that they had him. It’s unusual to address this kind of sensitive topic to the press at all.

But going to the DIA is interesting. To me it suggests he knew he couldn’t trust the normal channels. That’s scary but not surprising. It means our intelligence community is so full of Chinese spies it can’t be trusted to take in a defector. Also it means that Dong probably knows the names, and the positions, of the spies in our country who work with Beijing. We know President Biden and his son are compromised on some level with the Chinese. That came out of the emails found on Hunter’s laptop before the election. You know, the story the MSM killed because it would’ve skewed the vote against Biden in 2020. 

There is an internal war going on in our government, patriots and anti-Americans. But these lines may not be as clean as I imagine. If Biden was compromised at a high level why wouldn’t he either send Dong back to Beijing or just kill him? Come to think of it maybe he did. Why would Dong come to the US if he feared the administration and its corrupt intelligence agencies would send him back? I’m fairly certain that he isn’t a counterintelligence plant. China couldn’t risk even the appearance of a defector, especially not such a big shot like Dong Jingwei.

Intelligence that Matters

In May of last year the administration changed its policy on the origins of Covid 19 by starting up an investigation into the Wuhan lab leak. Previously they ruled it an escaped wet market virus that jumped from animal to human. Some think the change in direction was due to information from the defector. I’ve been under the assumption that the administration doesn’t want to know or is covering for Obama who approved money for gain of function just before leaving office in 2017. Gain of function research is how you create viruses. 

It looks as though the PLA (Peoples Liberation Army) was using the Wuhan lab. Well of course they were!

Releasing a virus on the world is an act of war and soon everyone is going to know the Chinese did it. The why is unclear right now but the cynic in me says the goal was always to create windfall profits for the pharmaceutical companies through vaccines. It also provided an opportunity to use mail in ballots and machine voting fraud to steal an election. Trump was ruining cooperation between Beijing and Washington and needed to be stopped.

I know of only one other significant case of a Chinese defector that spent the night in a US consulate in Chongqing after avoiding detection. This was in 2012. His name was Wang Lijun and he was the police chief in Chongqing under party boss Bo Xilai. His asylum claim was rejected as to not upset the incoming chairman Xi Jinping. This was under president Obama’s State Department. Guess who was behind the decision?

The office of Vice President Joe Biden overruled State and Justice Department officials in denying the political asylum request of a senior Chinese communist official last February over fears the high-level defection would upset the U.S. visit of China’s vice president, according to U.S. officials.

It gets better. Biden’s aid Anthony Blinken rejected the Wang’s application for asylum. Blinken is now the head of the State Department. He’s clearly a Biden loyalist. This incident with Wang Lijun likely showed Dong Jingwei that going to an embassy or consulate to request asylum won’t work. You have to get yourself out of the mainland.

Awakening

It’s easy to think of the US government as one unit with one goal, to promote the interests of the country. The case of Dong Jingwei proves how naive that is. We are entering a time of mass upheaval in this country and around the world. The virus and subsequent attempt to control the population is forcing people to wake up. From the election of Joe Biden to the origins of the virus, something stinks and we’re starting to figure it out.

I pray this defection leads to a cleansing of the federal ranks.
