Consultants or Spies? The LinkedIn Trap · Cultural Wars | America Out Loud News

  Hello everyone, welcome to the voice of Dr.
• 0:23
  Yen.
• 0:24
  I'm your host Dr.
• 0:26
  Yin.
• 0:26
  In this episode at the beginning, I want to share real story with you.
• 0:32
  So I have a friend who's an American journalist and he worked in the White House during the first Trump administration in the national security team.
• 0:43
  One day, I think it was over one year ago, he told me that a Chinese lady contacted him via LinkedIn, offering him a nice job in a Taiwan sink tank.
• 0:59
  And this is a real think tank.
• 1:01
  According to the introduction on Lan is influential, it's linked to Taiwan government, and yes, the lady seems familiar with his working experience.
• 1:13
  That means the lady has checked his LinkedIn.
• 1:16
  So this job sounds very suitable for him and it will give him a nice salary.
• 1:24
  However, during the conversation, my friend feels suspicious about the lady.
• 1:30
  So he turned to me to ask for suggestions.
• 1:34
  After discussing, I agree with him that it sounds suspicious.
• 1:39
  He should be aware of what the lady want.
• 1:43
  And even though this is a real institute, but you should see what they really want from you.
• 1:50
  As long as you work in the national security field, it's always important to be very cautious.
• 1:58
  And yes, after a while, he go back to tell me I don't think that lady is reliable, and I think that's the end of that story.
• 2:08
  Why I share this with you?
• 2:10
  Because today I want to start our first topic from this recently published investigative article.
• 2:19
  It's published on Intelligence Online and the title is Chinese spies fish for high profile European targets via fake LinkedIn profiles.
• 2:30
  According to this article, several European countries have identified a large scale operation run by Chinese Ministry of State Security, using fake accounts on social media to obtain sensitive and even classified information.
• 2:48
  European individuals connected to NATO and the European Commission have been targeted and several have already been successfully recruited by Beijing.
• 2:59
  So around 2023, a French woman who had previously worked for the European Commission was looking for a job when she came across a recruitment post on LinkedIn from a company called Oriental Consulting, which claimed to be headquartered in Hong Kong.
• 3:21
  She didn't know that this consulting firm didn't actually exist and was in fact a front for Chinese intelligence services.
• 3:32
  She submitted an application and later received a career WhatsApp from a Chinese man whose English was nearly native level.
• 3:42
  He introduced himself as Kevin Jung.
• 3:45
  Zhang asked her to write an analysis on potential European sanctions targeted Chinese entities involved in Russia's war.
• 3:56
  The former European Commission contractor accepted the task and was paid 800 pounds via people.
• 4:07
  Don't you think it sounds very similar to the case of my friend experienced in the US?
• 4:14
  And yes, both worked in the national security teams in the government and also the companies they have the fake accounts and they claim they are based in Hong Kong or based in Taiwan to avoid their connection with CCP.
• 4:31
  And they also offer the nice payment and also the work is not difficult as long as you share your knowledge with them.
• 4:40
  The difference is my friend refused that offer but this French woman accepted that.
• 4:46
  So let's see what happened after that.
• 4:49
  This Kevin Jang contacted the lady again.
• 4:53
  This time urging her to attend a ministry level meeting in France concerning European sanctions against China.
• 5:02
  The women told Kevin she didn't have access to meetings at that level.
• 5:08
  Kevin then made a new request.
• 5:11
  Could she help connect him with someone who might have access to such information?
• 5:18
  So the lady refused and decided to completely cut off all contact with the mysterious individual.
• 5:27
  Say if the French woman was not alarmed enough and if she looked for her friends to help the Chinese man in the Chinese firm, I think that could almost reach the level of the foreign agent, right?
• 5:43
  But you see Chinese government is using this way to cheat the woman and the salaries they give her won't be very high, so basically they save a lot of cost to conduct this kind of spy activities.
• 6:34
  Some of them from countries include France, Belgium, the UK, the Netherlands, the Italian, was successfully recruited.
• 6:44
  And I bet Kevin Jung is just one of many many this kind of fake accounts created by MSS and other Chinese intelligence agencies.
• 6:57
  So those recruited by Kevin Jung were paid thousands of euros to work for the MSS and were explicitly asked to provide non-public and even classified information.
• 7:12
  Yeah, China wrongly even makes the cost of the spy activities much much lower than what other countries spent.
• 7:22
  It's really like their supply chain, right?
• 7:25
  Everything they would make it to the very low price and using this way they could squeeze you out of the market and they can all occupy the whole market.
• 7:35
  I didn't know that they could make this kind of spy activity so cheap and I feel so pity for those people who were recruited by CCP in such a low price.
• 7:47
  Anyway, go back to the article.
• 7:50
  It says the method used by Chinese intelligence agents typically begins with contacting individuals who have worked in K European institutions or NATO, often using fake job posting as an anti point.
• 8:06
  Applicants believe they are initiating the contact themselves.
• 8:11
  So it seems like you want the job.
• 8:15
  You become very active to fulfill their requests.
• 8:27
  Right, I think Chinese government has used this method into their spy activities on LinkedIn.
• 8:34
  So the exchange quickly evolved into paid assignments to write reports, usually about three pages long with payments ranging from 700 to 1000 euros.
• 8:47
  Kevin Chang or whatever accounts would then make it clear that what they needed was exclusive or non-public information and in some cases explicitly requested classified material.
• 9:03
  So the initial three pages man report cost several hundred or thousand euros is really a bait for these fishes and when fish is bite it.
• 9:14
  Yes, they could recruit them to do more.
• 9:17
  The Shanghai MSS Bureau has focused in particular on potential European sanctions against China as well as NATO strategy in Asia, especially regarding Taiwan.
• 9:30
  One French individual who had been posted to NATO in the late 2010s was contacted in 2022 by Kevin Jang who claimed that the Oriental Consulting was seeking analysts for multiple guns.
• 9:47
  Shortly afterward, Kevin assigned a task to write a report on NATO's response plans and the event of Chinese military intervention in Taiwan.
• 10:00
  When the target realized that the request involved non-public information had immediately cut off all contact.
• 10:08
  The account disappeared at the end of 2025, likely after its operators since the growing risk.
• 10:16
  It is believed that the account was jointly managed by multiple MSS intelligence officers based in Taiwan.
• 10:25
  Yeah, of course this is a common pattern in MSS and other Chinese intelligence agencies on their cyber activities.
• 10:34
  Like here behind the account of Kevin Jung, it should be a team.
• 10:39
  And even though this Kevin Zhen was disappeared, there would be numerous other new accounts appeared in LinkedIn still managed by the same cyber team in Shanghai MSS.
• 10:51
  In November 2025, the UK's MI5 warned that Chinese intelligence agencies were using LinkedIn to collect information.
• 11:01
  The MSS was reported to have contacted British members of parliament by posing as recruiters.
• 11:10
  France had already issued a similar warning as early as 2018, when at least 4,000 senior officials, civil servants, and employees of strategic companies had been approached by accounts linked to the MSS.
• 11:26
  You see this is a very typical example of CCP's years one, transnational large scale intelligence operations.
• 11:37
  So you see this is not traditional spy story, and we have been talking about unrestricted warfare for over several years.
• 11:51
  And according to this intelligence article, we know the key point is this MSS agents are not approaching people as spies.
• 12:01
  They are approaching people as recruiters.
• 12:05
  You see, they have established the fake consulting firms in Hong Kong or somewhere else.
• 12:12
  And also they pay you for the research assignments.
• 12:16
  Hundreds to thousand Euros per report, which is just three PGs run.
• 12:23
  It's really something started with harmless things.
• 12:27
  Right?
• 12:28
  Write an analysis.
• 12:30
  In you want a job, you will do this and even they don't pay you, you still would do it as a good beginning.
• 12:38
  But here the thing is they pay you first and then the things get escalates.
• 12:43
  Can you provide non-public classified insights or the materials?
• 12:49
  Can you introduce me your friends who can access to this non-public or classified materials?
• 12:55
  These are what they want.
• 12:57
  Right?
• 12:58
  So this is the structured recruitment pipeline.
• 13:02
  Because it hides inside normal legal behaviors, it works very well.
• 13:07
  However, behind this ordinary professional works, the real danger here is not just a leak of classified information.
• 13:15
  That's how people instinctively think about espionage.
• 13:20
  Someone's dealing secrets, but what we are seeing now goes much deeper than that.
• 13:25
  This is about reshaping how information flows inside open societies.
• 13:31
  First, everything operates under a perfectly legal looking shell.
• 13:36
  The communication is voluntary.
• 13:39
  The work is framed as a contract.
• 13:42
  The payments are normal people, bank transfers, consulting phase.
• 13:47
  On the surface, nothing looks illegal, no one is breaking into system, no one is passing envelopes in the dark.
• 13:56
  And that's exactly the problem.
• 13:59
  Because when intelligence collection is embedded inside legitimate transactions, it becomes extremely difficult for law enforcement to act.
• 14:09
  How do you prove intent?
• 14:12
  How do you distinguish consulting from collection?
• 14:15
  How do you prosecute someone who was just writing a report?
• 14:20
  This creates a great zone where illegal intelligence flows moves through completely legal channels.
• 14:28
  And that great zone is where this model thrives.
• 14:33
  Second, this model is designed to manufacture what you could call great zone collaborators at scale.
• 14:41
  These are not trained spies, they are not recruited in the traditional sense.
• 14:47
  They are professionals, and this former officials, researchers, who start with something small and reasonable.
• 14:55
  A report, a contact, a bit of context, then step by step the boundary shifts.
• 15:02
  What begins as open source analysis turns into non-public insight?
• 15:08
  What feels like professional networking turns into access beauty, and before they fully realize it, they crossed a line.
• 15:17
  At that point, they are no longer just participants, they are assets.
• 15:23
  No high-level agents, but something more scalable.
• 15:27
  Low intensity intelligence nodes that can be activated and leveraged over time.
• 15:34
  This is not about one spy, it's about building a network.
• 15:39
  Third, and this is a part most people underestimate.
• 15:44
  This isn't just about collecting information.
• 15:47
  It's about shaping perception.
• 15:50
  When you engage analysts, policy professionals and subject matter experts, you are not only extracting what they know.
• 15:59
  You are also influencing how they think.
• 16:02
  What questions they ask, what assumptions they normalize, what conclusions they eventually publish.
• 16:11
  Over time, that affects reports, briefings, policy discussions, even media narratives, so the operation doesn't just pull intelligence out.
• 16:22
  It fits influence back into the intelligence community.
• 16:27
  So the intelligence collection and cognitive warfare become fused into the same pipelines.
• 16:35
  Now, here's why the matters for the United States.
• 16:40
  So this is not only the European problem, it's a tested model.
• 17:01
  Individuals approach through professional platforms, consulting arrangements, academic changes or business opportunities that gradually shift into something else.
• 17:14
  If you map this model onto the US, the targets are obvious.
• 17:19
  Congressional staffers, think tank researchers, defense industry consultants, former government officials with retained access and networks.
• 17:32
  And the methods don't change.
• 17:34
  Consulting projects, outsourced analysis, academic collaboration, adverse results, no spy movies, no dramatic handoffs, just the normal professional interactions repurposed.
• 17:48
  That's what makes this dangerous because this is not about penetration system from the outside.
• 17:54
  It's about using the system itself, its openness, its trust, its professional culture as a delivery mechanism.
• 18:02
  And once that happens, the line between normal activities and intelligence activities disappeared.
• 18:09
  And from this investigative article we can see another thing that is CCP really cares about the reunification of Taiwan, which in another word means they want to occupy Taiwan and broke the US island chain policies and chased the US out of even the Indo-Pacific Ocean.
• 18:30
  That's what their purpose.
• 18:39
  And finally when they destroy the United States, yeah boom, the whole world became CCP controlled.
• 18:48
  And why I mention this because you see, except for this kind of LinkedIn spy activities, CCP also has other ways to conduct the cognitive warfare to influence people, for example, about the Taiwan issue.
• 19:06
  Recently, Tucker Carson, unfortunately, I feel sad to see he got influenced by CCP and promote their propaganda in different occasions.
• 19:17
  So the economist interviewed Tark Carson.
• 19:22
  And make me shocked that Tark says the US is not going to defend and can't defend Taiwan, and the economist featured his comment on Taiwan.
• 19:35
  More than that, they also featured that Tucker Carsen told the host that a mark has reached the limits of its power and has to now share it with China.
• 19:49
  I feel that I don't know Tark anymore, and he's not the one who interviewed me back to the pandemic period for multi times talking about this.
• 20:00
  CP's lab origin weaponized COVID-19 caused the man-made pandemic all over the world and we must hold CCP accountable.
• 20:09
  I don't know what Tucker experienced during the past few years, how the Chinese Communist Party influenced him.
• 20:17
  And we know that for example, recently he had interviewed another Chinese person named Jiang Xi Qing and they called him Professor Jiang, but that guy only got the bench degree, so in whatever reason he can't be a professor, that's just uh the fake title.
• 20:33
  And that guy is a pure CCP agent and propagandist because though he has a Canadian citizenship and his family moved to Canada when he was young.
• 20:45
  But if you check his story and his savvy, you know that guy, he got developed in China, and he worked with the CCP's propaganda department as well as the United Front Work Department for many years, and that's why now the Chinese Communist Party promote him on media because he can speak fluent English and also he was graduated from Yale and he's that kind of person that CCP thinks uh easy to get accepted by the Western audience, at least when they promote him through the conservative channels like the uh Tucker Carson's channel, right?
• 21:29
  And also this guy I can tell you when people come to ask me what do I think about Professor Jiang's comments or his opinions.
• 21:38
  I wanna tell you that as long as you can read Chinese, you understand CCP's propaganda.
• 21:45
  You've done this kind of study like me for years, then of course it's zero difficult for you to understand Professor Jiang is just a mouthpiece of CCP.
• 21:58
  It's not only because he worked in Beijing, it's not only because his connection with CCP's all this bureaucratical propaganda network.
• 22:09
  It's also because from the content is not his own content, okay?
• 22:13
  He just used his word.
• 22:15
  Actually, that's not his word.
• 22:18
  It's the word designated by CCP's propaganda department using the cognitive warfare tactics to deliver CCP's propaganda and false narratives.
• 22:32
  So yeah, we don't want to talk much about the Professor Jiang, at least not in this episode because he's really a disgusting person, and what he his purpose is just uh behave as a CCP's two, and CCP is promoting him like the man-made star on social media on geopolitics because they are using this tool to promote anti-America, anti-Trump, anti-Western civilization, while promote CCP promote Xi Jinping, promote authoritarian regime like Iran, like Venezuela, even promote the terrorism, all this kind of propaganda.
• 23:17
  And I know some of you may have listened to his interview with Tucker Carson, and you will say, oh, but I think he's telling something real.
• 23:27
  Of course, that is advanced cognitive warfare.
• 23:30
  Okay, they will mix like half or even more than half choose with the disinformation.
• 23:39
  But they would generate the wrong conclusion, which fits their ideology.
• 23:46
  It's really unlike the apple for Snow White.
• 23:48
  Yes, the Queen gave her the raw apple.
• 23:52
  The apple looks even very beautiful, red, sweet.
• 23:56
  But inside there is diesel poison.
• 23:59
  And you can eat the whole apple.
• 24:01
  You can tell people that, oh wow, this is so tasty.
• 24:04
  I love this apple.
• 24:06
  But finally, it would get poison, right?
• 24:09
  That's the result.
• 24:11
  And CCP's cognitive warfare is very like the Snow White's apple.
• 24:17
  They put the very tiny portion of the poison into the sweet apple.
• 24:25
  Yes, it seems the portion is very small compared to the size of the apple.
• 24:31
  But the thing is, Snow White died.
• 24:35
  And also, in Chinese, we have another way to express this kind of advanced cognitive warfare, this propaganda from CCP.
• 24:46
  Um, yeah, this sounds not that fancy, but I believe it's easy for you to understand.
• 24:52
  We usually say this is really like to look for the non-fully digested cons from the sheet.
• 24:59
  You know, when people eat a lot of coins, can't digest all of them and they would get mixed into the shit.
• 25:07
  And so you can't say that, oh, there are cons.
• 25:10
  The cons look nice and they are the real tasty cons.
• 25:15
  So you go to find them from the shit and even eat the shit, right?
• 25:21
  Anyway, let's forget that poisonous apple or the cons in the shade propagandist Professor Chiang.
• 25:28
  I want to share my comment on the economist interview, especially when they featured Tucker's comment on Taiwan and share the power with China.
• 25:41
  Since it's a long post, so let's have a short break.
• 25:45
  I will go back to continue this topic.
• 25:47
  Thank you.

  Hi everyone, welcome back to the voice of Dr.
• 29:09
  When the economist interviewed Tucker Carson and he said the US is not going to defend and can't defend Taiwan as well as that America has reached the limits of its power and has to now share it with China.
• 29:23
  My comment is that.
• 30:00
  Recognizes the CCP's expansionist and anti-American intentions.
• 30:06
  Meaning the US holds structural dominance, including the world's strongest naval and air power projection capabilities, forward deployed positions like Japan, Okinawa, the Philippine Guan, and integrated airline coordination.
• 30:27
  For example, US Japan 80s plus strengthened US Philippines ties plus regional cooperation.
• 30:36
  Also Taiwan is not an isolated island.
• 30:39
  It's a critical note embedded within the US Indo-Pacific defense architecture.
• 30:46
  Geopolitically Taiwan has inherent defensive advantages.
• 30:52
  The Taiwan Street makes amphibious invasion extremely difficult.
• 30:58
  Defenders hold a natural advantage.
• 31:02
  The cost of failure for an invading force is extremely high, and CCP can't afford that.
• 31:10
  The real issue has been perception, not capability.
• 31:15
  For decades, the US didn't fully recognize CCP's expansionist nature and anti-American intent.
• 31:23
  That is now changing.
• 31:25
  The National Security Strategy 2025, which was released as end of last year, explicitly defines the CCP as a systemic challenge, as well as the threat for the United States.
• 31:40
  The military posture supply chains and alliances are being adjusted accordingly.
• 31:47
  The US is entering a phase of strategic clarity.
• 31:52
  The count defense Taiwan narrative is fundamentally flawed.
• 31:58
  It is largely based on being misled by the CCP's paper tiger style intimidation and propaganda.
• 32:07
  Also, it's based on a lack of understanding of the CCP's real capability and the true cost of war.
• 32:18
  In its sense, it reflects confusion or intimidation caused by CCP cognitive warfare.
• 32:26
  Second, Taiwan is not just another region.
• 32:31
  It is a locking point for the first island chain.
• 32:36
  Taiwan is a hinge of the Western Pacific Defense Line if it falls to the CCP.
• 32:43
  The first island chain is broken.
• 32:46
  Japan and the Philippines become directly exposed.
• 32:50
  The PLA Navy gains access to the Open Pacific while US defensive positioning in the Western Pacific is weakened.
• 33:00
  At that time, critical global shipping lines are threatened.
• 33:05
  This would reshape global maritime power.
• 33:09
  Third, from a global supply chain perspective, Taiwan is not just about semiconductors.
• 33:16
  It represents advanced manufacturing system, engineering capabilities and supply chain control.
• 33:25
  If it falls under CCP control, global tech industries could be manipulated, advanced technologies would be integrated into its military civil fusion system, AI defense and communication system could be weaponized by the CCP just as rare Earth have been used as leverage against the world.
• 33:50
  Yes, we all remember how the Chinese Communist Party weaponized the rare Earth to hijack people all over the world.
• 33:59
  Fourth, sharing power with the CCP is fundamentally strategic misdirection.
• 34:06
  The CCP is a regime built on authoritarian control, operating through control deception and infiltration and advancing its goals through asymmetric and unrestricted means.
• 34:20
  Under these conditions, sharing power would mean handing over the global order to an authoritarian system, which undermining the foundation of freedom itself.
• 34:33
  Fifth, target says Taiwan is infiltrated by CCP.
• 34:38
  But so is the United States.
• 34:41
  So the correct conclusion is not to abandon it.
• 34:46
  The more infiltration exists, the more critical it is to hold case strategic notes.
• 34:52
  If infiltration means abandonment, that is not strategy.
• 34:58
  It is weakness and self-destruction, leading to cascading collapse.
• 35:04
  Now two facts must be clear.
• 35:07
  The CCP has never governed Taiwan.
• 35:10
  Never in the history.
• 35:12
  Taiwan operates its own political and social system actually, Taiwan is a country.
• 35:19
  So this issue has never been whether the US can defend Taiwan.
• 35:24
  It's whether the US clearly understands the CCP.
• 35:29
  So now let's move to the last but most important topic.
• 35:33
  I bet most of you have heard about this news already.
• 35:36
  It was released on March 26 by DOG that Chinese brother and sister indicted an alleged IED plot at Florida Air Force Base tied to Iran war.
• 35:50
  And the main suspect is still in China.
• 35:54
  So in this case, I have read a lot of materials including the indictment and also the DOG statement as well as the press held by FBI and the law enforcement team.
• 36:07
  There are not a details, but still a lot of details are not revealed yet.
• 36:14
  Yeah, I believe it is because of national security and also the ongoing investigation.
• 36:19
  And let's go through the Fox News report first and I will give you additional information.
• 36:25
  According to the Fox News report, the brother and sister have been indicted after authorities one of them planted a potentially deadly explosive device outside McDeal Air Force Base in Florida, then fled to China, while their mother is now in ICE custody after additionally telling investigators her son confessed to the plot.
• 36:50
  The FBI said Alan Jung, who is believed to have planted the device is currently in China.
• 36:56
  He is facing charges of attempted damage to government property by fire or explosion.
• 37:04
  Unlawful making of a destructive device and possession of an unregistered destructive device, which carry a potential sentence of up to 40 years in prison.
• 37:15
  FBI Tampa also arrested his sister, Anne Mary Jung, who is charged with accessory after the fact and tampering with evidence facing up to 30 years in prison.
• 37:29
  She is accused of hiding or damaging a 2010 bans to prevent its use in legal proceedings court documents showed.
• 37:39
  Prosecutors allege that on March 11, the day after the bomb was planted, the siblings attempted to cover their tracks by setting the vehicle to car dealer, Carmax.
• 37:53
  Despite being vacuumed and cleaned, investigators later discovered Chase explosive residue inside the vehicle.
• 38:01
  The indictments were unsealed Thursday morning and US attorney for the Middle District of Florida detailed the timeline of the shocking incident during a new conference.
• 38:27
  Many later officials claim he placed a cryptic 911 call stating a bomb had been planted but refused to provide the exact location.
• 38:38
  The device which officials noted was potentially very deadly, failed to detonate.
• 38:48
  An Air Force Airman discovered the device outside the McDo visitor center six days after it was planted.
• 38:56
  To preserve evidence the device was secured and flown via a borrowed Pesco County Sheriff's Office helicopter to an FBI explosive lab in Alabama according to authorities.
• 39:11
  Anytime somebody put an IED together and I spent a lot of time in Iraq and I saw a lot of IEDs, there always is a level of professionalism.
• 39:22
  The US attorney Greg Cahul said and quite a bit of professionalism when they end up being deadly.
• 39:30
  The explosive certainly could have caused significant damage to people that were in the ranch.
• 39:51
  A subsequent search of his home uncovered IED components consistent with the bomb found as a base.
• 40:00
  The siblings fled to Communist China on March 12th, just two days after the incident.
• 40:07
  And Mary was apprehended after returning to the US via a Detroit airport on March 17.
• 40:16
  The pair's mother, who admitted to authorities that her son confessed to the bot, is currently in ICE custody pending deportation for a visa overstay, but has not been criminally charged as of Saturday afternoon.
• 40:33
  Officials have not yet publicly confirmed a motive or ties to the Chinese government.
• 40:38
  However, Keho said the suspects obviously felt quite strongly about something or anything that the US government was doing.
• 40:48
  Today's indictment are the result of tremendous investigative work from our FBI teams and great coordination from our state local and federal partners across the board, FBI Director Cash said in a statement to Fox News.
• 41:03
  No one who targets our brief service members and military facilities will ever get away with it.
• 41:09
  And this FBI will pursue all those responsible for the incident at McDeal Air Force Base to the end of the Earth, he added.
• 41:18
  Officials also announced the third indictment against Jonathan James Elder for an unrelated copycat threat.
• 41:29
  On March 18, Elder allegedly called the base making explicit threats and touting officials about the surprise at McDeal visit center.
• 41:42
  After being tracked via cell phone and Facebook data, Elder was arrested at a care facility and faced up to 10 years in prison for making a threat of an explosive.
• 41:55
  Keho delivered a stern warning to anyone considering similar actions.
• 42:00
  McDo Air Force Base houses the headquarters of US Central Command, which is currently handling Operation Epic Fury against Iran.
• 42:10
  The base also houses US Special Operations Command, which oversees all special operations forces across the Department of War.
• 42:19
  After reading this report, I post on Twitter.
• 42:23
  Here is the post.
• 42:25
  This is a classic field covert terror operation targeting a US military base on American soil consistent with CCP's tactics.
• 42:36
  An IED was placed at McDo Air Force Base, home to SINCOM and US Special Operations Command, a critical US military hub.
• 42:46
  According to the federal indictment after her brother Alan Jung placed the IED as a McDo AFB visitor center, and Marijung assisted him in evading arrest and tampered with evidence including handling and considering a vehicle used in the operation.
• 43:04
  Alan has now returned to China.
• 43:06
  By pattern, the so-called brother and sister relationship is highly likely a cover identity.
• 43:14
  The key questions.
• 43:19
  Who supported them domestically?
• 43:22
  Who was involved in funding and directing this operation?
• 43:27
  Why did this happen at the very moment the Iranian regime is on the verge of collapse while the CCP is intensifying cognitive warfare to pressure the US to stand down?
• 43:42
  This faces a well established model.
• 43:45
  State-backed covered operations using expendable assets to probe US defense and if possible carry out a tax.
• 43:57
  This attempted strike on the core of US military command is only one piece of abroad people see style unrestricted warfare.
• 44:08
  Only by fully open up China as has been done with Iran and Vizarilla, can the US truly address what is an unprecedented existential threat posed by the CCP.
• 44:22
  Yes, when I say this is very typical CCP's tactic, it's because you know I grew up in China.
• 44:29
  I stayed there for over 30 years.
• 44:31
  Yeah, I was in Hong Kong, but Hong Kong is also part of China, right?
• 44:35
  It gets red.
• 44:37
  And according to the common sense and even the kindergarten education, I can tell you that CCP is always proud of their tradition to use covert operations to subcharge the enemy.
• 44:51
  And here you see, according to the authorities, additional information about this brother and sister is shocking.
• 44:59
  Brother is only 20 years old, who is supposed to be a student.
• 45:04
  And the sister is only 27 years old and who's a student in Southern Florida University.
• 45:11
  Yes, both are Chinese.
• 45:13
  However, later I read more additional information from the authorities.
• 45:18
  It shows that both of them are American citizens.
• 45:22
  So now here's a question.
• 45:25
  How could the siblings are citizens, but the mom was held in ICE with an expired visa, waiting for deportation?
• 45:37
  This can't make sense.
• 45:39
  I mean, of course you could say oh there should be some possibilities, but what I want to tell you is think about 20s and 27 years old if they are the real siblings if this is a real mom, okay?
• 45:53
  Why the mom is not citizen and even need the visa and the visa get expired, she has to face IC deportation, but the siblings are American citizens.
• 46:05
  Who brought them to the US?
• 46:07
  Think about the age of the sister.
• 46:10
  She should be born in around 1999.
• 46:14
  At that time there was no commercial baby birth trip from China to the US.
• 46:20
  That means Chinese people can't go to US visa like B1B2 visa and stay here have a baby and bring them back to China.
• 46:29
  We know recently Congress is talking about this because in the past two decades, around one million Chinese babies were born in the US during the commercial trips and brought back to China.
• 46:43
  American worried about that later, these voters will be CCP influenced too.
• 46:50
  Yes, it is.
• 46:51
  However, think about the age of the sister.
• 46:55
  If her identity is real, that means back to at the end of 1990s.
• 47:02
  How could mom give the birth of her in the United States?
• 47:06
  So as her mom is the overseas student or some visiting scholars from the CCP linked institution, or she came here using H1B, but it should be very rare at that time as working visa.
• 47:25
  And after the sister was born, the mom returned to China and later after several years came to the US again, gave the birth of the brother.
• 47:36
  If so, that means the same growing up in China, receive the CCP's education and they may go to the US for the middle school or the university education.
• 47:49
  But if so, why the mom doesn't obtain the green card at least?
• 47:54
  That means the mom most likely still holds the Chinese Communist Party some position.
• 48:02
  She's not retired.
• 48:04
  Or she doesn't want to stay in the US, she won't keep her Chinese citizenship and even doesn't want a green card because she doesn't want to stay here for too long.
• 48:15
  However, if you don't want to stay here too long, why do you hold the expired visa but not go back to China?
• 48:22
  Okay, more information reveals that the timeline is on March 10, 20 years old Alan Jung drove to the visitor center of the McDo AFB and placed the IED.
• 48:38
  And then just after several minutes, maybe when she just left the visitor center, he told no one will use a burner phone and he already bought it from Best Buy.
• 48:49
  And he told 911, okay I placed the IED, but he refused to tell where it is.
• 48:56
  And after that, he has spent 48 hours to handle to destroy the evidence and bought the ticket back to China.
• 49:07
  According to the reviewed information, they bought the ticket back to China on March 11th, even not do it in advance.
• 49:16
  And the sister helped him to destroy the evidence in the band's car and sell it to the dealer.
• 49:26
  And also the sister and Alan both came back to China.
• 49:31
  So you see, they didn't buy the tickets for mom and they bought the tickets just one day before they go back to China.
• 49:40
  Think about the ticket price, okay?
• 49:43
  If you just bought the air flight ticket one day before you go back to China and you need to fly across the half of the Earth, right?
• 49:52
  Then it will spend you 2000 to 4000 US dollars per person.
• 49:58
  It's really not a small amount of money.
• 50:00
  Money.
• 50:01
  Who gives them the money?
• 50:02
  And also their American citizens.
• 50:06
  That means it requires them to get Chinese visa before they enter China.
• 50:12
  So when did they prepare the Chinese visa?
• 50:15
  It usually spent weeks to get it.
• 50:19
  Maybe they are like the winter Olympic athlete Alin Guan go around China and the US easily.
• 50:27
  But let me tell you, our sources in the Central CCP has told us since 2022.
• 50:34
  Alin Gu is a CCP cultivated professional agent because she was born in a professional agent family.
• 50:43
  Her mom, Gu Yin, is CCP's secret the Asian agent professional sent to the US in around 1990s and stay here.
• 50:55
  So INGO is promoted now as a very useful tool for CCP's infiltration and unrestricted warfare.
• 51:03
  So now here's the questions.
• 51:05
  Are these symbolings professional?
• 51:08
  You see, the US attorney talking about this case emphasize that the IED is very professional and has seen that for many times in Iraq, but those are made by terrorists, right?
• 51:20
  How could ordinary Chinese young students can make such IEDs?
• 51:26
  Who taught them?
• 51:27
  Who gave them the materials?
• 51:29
  Because according to the indictment, it has proved that these IEDs are the real ones, not the toys, and for some reason they didn't get exploited, but if they wrongly worked will cause a lot of damage.
• 51:45
  So how come they have such ideas?
• 51:48
  Why do they do this?
• 51:49
  And you see, the most suspicious things is why the sister go back to the US on all just after several days back to China.
• 51:58
  Think about the time, okay, from Florida to China, usually take 20 to 30 hours because you need to go to other cities and then take the flight to China.
• 52:10
  So from 12th they left the US.
• 52:14
  They arrived at China is already around 14th.
• 52:18
  And after that 17th sister again already arrived at Detroit.
• 52:24
  That means she has to left China at least on 16.
• 52:30
  Why does she go back to China to stay just for two days and then go back?
• 52:37
  How could she get enough money to afford the immediate return tickets?
• 52:43
  And where the brother stays with families in China?
• 52:48
  Or with their CCP upper handlers.
• 52:52
  I mean this is actually very very suspicious and out of questions, but I would tell you, I don't think they are real symbolings.
• 53:01
  And even the mom looks very suspicious.
• 53:05
  For me, it is more like the CCP's covert agents who use the fake identities and force the fake family to stay here.
• 53:16
  They could be the sleeper cells.
• 53:18
  They could just recently receive their tasks and the network provide them the materials or even the IEDs.
• 53:26
  If they are not trained, I don't think they could complete the whole process, including the burner phone and then place the IED in near the AFB and go back to immediately call the 9-1-1 and then remove the evidence and then fly back to China so smoothly.
• 53:45
  By the way, there is one important additional information.
• 53:49
  The FBI is separately examining a video sent to the Tempe Times via the encrypted messaging application signal.
• 53:59
  In which figure speaking syllable with an electronically altered voice claims responsibility for the device and wants of further attacks.
• 54:09
  The person in the video identifies themselves as part of a group of the war in Iran and to US deportation policy.
• 54:18
  The video also claims that the first IED was planted at McDeal on March 10 before the device found on March 16 and that it failed to detonate.
• 54:31
  But at any design failure has since been corrected.
• 54:36
  The newspaper, citing public safety concerns, turned the video over to the FBF for analysis.
• 54:44
  You see here, they not only link themselves to anti-Iran war, which means anti-US anti-Israel anti-Trump administration and pro CCP, but also they emphasize that anti-ICE, right?
• 55:00
  And the mom somehow by accident are held by ICE for deportation.
• 55:07
  It seems that they have predicted this and that gives them more motives in advance to launch these terror attacks and the future, many similar and improved terror attacks.
• 55:21
  So who's behind that?
• 55:23
  Do you believe that without CCP without the national power, the same buildings can do this?
• 55:29
  Or any organizations could do this?
• 55:32
  Why do they escape to China?
• 55:34
  Why do they think China is safe?
• 55:36
  And why Allen Jin is still in China?
• 55:39
  By the way, the mom stay in ICE custody.
• 55:43
  She could later get free tickets back to China, which was paid by the American taxpayers.
• 55:50
  CCP is desperate now.
• 55:53
  They are great allies, their proxies like Maduro, like Iran regime now collapsing.
• 56:02
  And they know President Trump will hold the Chinese Communist Party accountable for fentanyl drug supply chain for COVID-19 pandemic, for the stolen elections, and for all of this drug terrorism proxy wars against the US unrestricted warfare to destroy America.
• 56:26
  China has attacked US in our homeland.
• 56:32
  Make China pay.
• 56:33
