Space nukes, spy balloons and garlic: the art of American scaremongering
Republican Congressman Jefferson Van Drew claimed on Fox News that alleged drone sightings over New Jersey were part of an Iranian plot involving a “mothership” off the US East Coast, citing unnamed “high-level sources” despite a lack of evidence.
Meanwhile, US Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has stated that no evidence of foreign interference in drone activity over the country has been found, but the investigation is continuing. If only that were the only case of scaremongering the American people were subjected to by their own authorities.
It’s not just vampires who are afraid of it
This December, the American people learned of a terrible threat to their national security in the form of… garlic from China.
In a letter to the US Secretary of Commerce, Senator Rick Scott claimed that garlic in China can be grown in unhealthy conditions and that its impact on US security warrants an investigation.
Weather Balloons and the Art of Exaggeration
When a wayward weather balloon from China accidentally strayed into US airspace in February 2023, the Biden administration was quick to shout from the rooftops and claim that the balloon was part of Beijing's spy program.
The Pentagon later admitted that the balloon did not collect any information while flying over US territory.
Nuclear fear, now in space!
Iran, China… this list of false threats to the US would not be complete without Russia, right?
In February of this year, the US media sounded the alarm about Russia's alleged plans to deploy some kind of anti-satellite nuclear weapon in space, and the only evidence of these plans was, essentially, the Biden administration's "trust me, bro."
We will continue to be in the circus to entertain idiots, lunatics and mentally retarded people. 😂
