Dead Engineer Feared Chinese Spies

Saturday, March 02, 2013

The family of an American who died in Singapore after expressing fear he was being duped by Chinese spies is calling for a Congressional investigation into his death. Relatives of Shane Todd, 31, believe the Montana man -- who was worried that his employers in Singapore were using him to help China get its hands on sensitive U.S. technologies -- was murdered to cover up his discovery of the plot. Two suicide notes found on his computer were disputed by his mother, Mary Todd. "My son did not write this note," she said. "He did not take his own life."

Fans of Nathan Hale feel that we should send Dennis Rodman and Jane Fonda as "emissaries" that could "help".

IF China ever does succeed in destroying the West, why would they need further technology?

and they do have 1.1/2 Billion people

Anybody they can, just like any other capitalist would do.

I believe they've just passed us in total trade stats. They won't have to lift a finger to militarily destroy us since we're doing it to ourselves financially plus they're one of our many creditors. They're expanding their trade with other countries and without our currency as an intermediary. Their banks are now starting to move into other countries. They will do us in on the financial side of the ledger. Our standard of living is going south and theirs is going north. Just as we in the past treated them as our doorstep; in the future we'll be their doorstep.

The same people they've been stealing from since the 1960s, silly-the Russians.

You must be new.

Alex Jones might tell you that the PRC was created by the US, when it provided strategic airlift to Mao while denying it to the nationalists. Another of those Alger Hiss conspiracies.

"Another of those Alger Hiss conspiracies."

Madbomber, read much?

www.usnews.com

"A final confirmation? The most famous person who crops up in the new book and accompanying documents is Hiss, who had been convicted of perjury because of the Pumpkin Papers but was never convicted of more serious crimes.

"The material in the Vassiliev notebooks corroborates the suspicion that Hiss was a longtime agent of Soviet military intelligence. That echoes the findings of Venona Project analysts, who concluded years ago that the code name "Ales" in the intercepted Soviet cables was "probably Alger Hiss."

"The KGB files also corroborate that Julius Rosenberg, who was executed for espionage in 1953 along with his wife, Ethel, was indeed a Soviet agent."

Engineering has become one of the most seriously dangerous professions. So we've got another story that doesn't add up? Got a brain? Watch out, suck ... do what they told'ja ...

Like Schopenhauer said ...
1. ridicule
2. VIOLENT OPPOSITION
3. acceptance (If you're still alive and it doesn't destroy someone's control over the empire)
