Well, howdy there internet people, let's bow again.

So today we are going to talk about a message I received.

That I have to admit, at first I kind of blew off, didn't put too much stock in the message, but eventually got around to checking it out.

And that message will lead us to talk about North Dakota and China and a whole bunch of other stuff.

So the message comes in and it says, hey, my neighbor has been telling me for weeks that the Chinese

are putting in a spy base here in North Dakota.

Sure they are.

He said that he blew it off initially, but his neighbor told him that it was on

MS NBC. He said he went and looked, couldn't find anything on MS NBC, but thought he'd ask me just in case.

I looked. I couldn't find anything on MSNBC either.

However, over on C and, I did find something.

So this is probably a story that's going to eventually be national news.

a Chinese food manufacturing company

purchased 300 acres of land, trying to purchase 300 acres of

land in North Dakota to put in a milling facility for corn. Nothing untoward about that. However, it is really close to an

Air Force base there. Okay. And a major at the Air Force base basically informed OSI, the Air Force's Security Group about some concerns as far as maybe because this is a Chinese company and because it's so close to the Air Force Base that Chinese intelligence might

put passive surveillance devices there.

So they can pick up information about drones and communications and stuff like that.

Okay.

And then come to find out that this has already hit the Senate Intelligence Oversight

and they have expressed their concerns.

So is it real or is it xenophobia?
