I thought that it was the fields that have ears and the walls that have eyes, but both are possible because you very often find ears and eyes together in sets unlike you are dealing with blind snakes and skinks or deaf ones.

I blame Biden because they are now doing something about what Trump merely sold to the highest bidder, America's national secrets and security.

I'm just imagining the contractors on that project:

"Don't forget, the Inverted Umbrella art piece needs to be mounted 6' above roof line and have a dedicated 120v power drop with Cat 6e data line, but the Cat 6e drop needs to run to this separate server room, not the one everything else in the building is connecting to."

That's not how governments do it in my native land. You pay them or promies to build them everything they need  in your city, county or province and then they sneak out during the night without paying the rent.

I agree the Chinese corn mill is a threat.  All Chinese nationals are a threat to the US.  Confiscate all property and deport them.  Cut off the data cables that go into china.  No data from a US citizen into china.  So they can't pay some maga to exfiltrate data.

Problem solved.

It's hard right now in the Defense & Security sector to not think way more than twice about even peripheral involvement by any Chinese entities.

They've been the #1 threat for years in pretty much any type of espionage & have only stepped up their game.  Unfortunately there's always greedy folks willing to be their paid shills or look the other way for a few bucks

I couldn't remember if that was USSR or China. Didn't we tear it down and order new materials only to find out that the building materials from drywall to 2x4's was all stuffed full of spyware so we had to spend an obscene amount of money shipping in our own material and guarding it along the way?

look at the big picture. wealthy people and businesses owning holdings in foreign lands is one of the few things that keeps us from total annihilation. spreading out the money keeps us from killing ourselves on a global scale.

this is not intended to be "hate speech". this is just my opinion of the world as I see it.

It was the US embassy in Moscow. I don't know which numbskull permitted non-US worker to do the construction, but then the lack of basic security at the site made it a field day for Russian intelligence agencies.

Keep it top secret.
Babe we can experiment and keep it from the government
We're top secret.
Maybe we can action on this chemical reaction
Keep it top secret.
