Posted by M. C. on July 3, 2023

Biden recently acknowledged the balloon was blown off course and was not intentionally flown over the US

“The pentagram said”!!! The pentagram tells the truth? This must be a PSYOP. Or maybe letting the balloon fly over the entire country, after having seen it early in it’s approach, for political purposes, ws about to backfire.

The Pentagon said Thursday that the Chinese balloon that wound up over the US in February did not collect data while it flew over US territory.

“We believe that it did not collect while it was transiting the United States or flying over the United States, and certainly the efforts that we made contributed, I’m sure,” said Pentagon spokesman Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder.

Ryder made the comments when asked about Wall Street Journal report that said the balloon contained US-made equipment. “I don’t have any specifics to provide as it pertains to the [People’s Republic of China] high altitude balloon and any potential US components,” he said.

For their part, Beijing has said the balloon was a civilian weather research device, while the Biden administration says it was a surveillance device. At this point, it has become clear that China did not intend to fly the balloon over the US, something President Biden recently acknowledged.

“That wasn’t supposed to be going where it was. It was blown off course up through Alaska and then down through the United States,” Biden said.
