I think his real fear should be that two of the most powerful countries in the world want him dead.

Remember in both the US and China, the most powerful people will be exposed for the criminals they are. Both want him dead.

[old curmudgeon]

You think the Chinese are so dumb that we had to tell them that the top guy in their spook department has fled to the US?

[Hot Tabasco]

Why would the DIA allow this information, along with Dong's name, to be released to the public?

To me it just doesn't make any sense..........

Further, it doesn't seem like this is the kind of work the DIA does, but I might be wrong.......

[SeekAndFind]

This defector chose to go to the DIA because, being an intelligence person, he knows that the DIA is the least spy-compromised agency in America’s intelligence bureaucracy.

[Starboard]

The timing of the renewed commentary is such that it is the direct result of this defector.

************

He defected sometime in mid-February. Well before that time however, an important article appeared in NY Mag laying out the evidence that COVID-19 may have originated the Wuhan lab. Then about a month later Senator Tom cotton got vocal about China’s duplicity and dishonesty with respect to the origin of the disease. In the months since then even more evidence has come out and the credibility of the leak theory has grown. Recently 18 scientists signed a letter published in Science magazine calling for an open investigation into the virus’s origins. Even the NYT has progressively softened its earlier charges of it being a conspiracy theory.

The point is, there has been a long lead up to the ‘renewed commentary’. The defector may be a significant game changer (that remains to be seen) but other players were on the field before he was.

Why would Dong defect now when he knows that Chinese assets control our Govt?

I'm sure you're an expert on these thing so I'm not going to question you.

But I'm not buying it......

[El Gato]

He likely didn't ask permission. At that level he could easily acquire transport. The story about visiting his daughter was likely for US consumption, not Chinese.

[El Gato]

Except that knowing of corruption at high levels of DIA, he defected to lower, or intermediate level personnel. They kept the information from the higher levels. Probably spread throughout the various military intelligence branches by now. It won't be so easy to bury as you might think.

[untenured]

At that level he could easily acquire transport.

Still not buying it. Why would the senior leadership of the CCP let this guy get on a plane to the US?

[GOPJ]

Nah, the Chinese knew... which leads us to the overwhelming question... who were we hiding him from?

What’s your best guess...

Bookmark this post - if you think anything POSITIVE for America will come out of this development, you’ve not been paying attention for the past 8 months. If anything, it will be spun to show that it was an accident so no biggie. Anyone want to bet?

[Treeless Branch]

I posted my comment #53 before I read your post.

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

I will NEVER believe that the lab leak was an accident or a LEAK at all!! NOTHING anyone says will ever convince me otherwise!!

[EasySt]

Wray, McConnell, Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, Nadler, Fauci, to name a few

(My Guess…)

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

This nation is finished NOTHING that has been done with the election or this virus will EVER SEE justice,anyone that thinks otherwise is a FOOL!!!

[old curmudgeon]

I will admit that is a very interesting and pertinent question.

My first guess would be that they intended that he not be available to inquiring minds like Tucker Carlson, Rand Paul, Ron Johnson, Jim Jordan and their worst nightmare of all: President Trump.

If the leaks are correct, those would be all over the people exposed...and I suspect that will be the case shortly. I see a hardening attitude on the part of the conservative public...fighting the education system, the voting audits, resistance to the “white privilege” nonsense. It is an undercurrent now, not highly publicized but it could become a wildfire and this could be the match that starts it if the rumors are correct.

It just could be that the criminals will pay a severe price.

[EasySt]

Accident or not, we all saw them lock down Wuhan to contain it locally,
while they let the infected fly to points all over the globe.

Hard to fathom how THAT could have been an accident.

We need to find out who at DIA has all this and keep close scrutiny over leadership so the info won't be “lost” “stolen” or other problems.
By now the chicoms have already covered their ass as much as possible removed every asset they could unless we got to them first and much of the damage already covered.
Still, the info is priceless and Dong and his daughter need the best security ever created since both our side(the cabal) and the chicoms will be after him.
The key here is to make sure DIA is not compromised and there is a chance we can keep both of the defectors alive. The daughter will be a blackmail pawn if the wrong people abduct her. One more reason security is prime.
We need someone like Sharyl Atkisson covering a story like this so every phase can be open to the public. That's what will keep them alive.
If the DIA,feds,know they are in hot water if anything happens to these two they will play it straight. The only way for that to happen is if we get as much info as possible and everyone knows what is going on.
We need to remember who is running much of the govt. right now. All the wrong people. that's why security is of major league importance.

Army Lt. Gen. Scott Berrier is in charge and appears to have a few more years. He's a Trump appointee. So as long as Pence didn't have a hand in his choice we could be OK here. The General appears to be squeaky clean. Let's hope he is.
Anyway he should know everyone is watching now to see how the biggest chicom spy to ever defect is handled.
Here's more on Berrier:

President Donald Trump has tapped Army Lt. Gen. Scott Berrier to be the U.S. military's next top spy, according to two people informed of the appointment.

Berrier, the deputy chief of staff for Army intelligence, was one of a handful of candidates submitted by the military branches to Pentagon brass earlier this year to be the next director of the Defense Intelligence Agency. The continuation of his rank was submitted to the Senate on July 1. The people who confirmed the appointment spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss information not yet publicly announced.

Important context: DIA is tasked with providing strategic-level information to soldiers, logisticians, acquisition officials and DOD decision-makers.

However, the agency has come under intense scrutiny in recent years from congressional lawmakers who fear its roles and missions have grown so bloated over time that it can't adequately confront new threats from nation-states like Russia, China and North Korea.

In 2018, the House Intelligence Committee approved the results of a years-long investigation into DIA, hoping to prompt some shake-ups at the Pentagon's spying arm. When the panel's recommendations later became public, a DIA spokesperson said the agency “continuously evaluates and aligns its support to meet evolving requirements and priorities.”

The pick comes a few weeks after lawmakers raised concerns about U.S. military organizations — DIA, the National Security Agency and National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency — possibly assisting federal law enforcement surveil the nationwide protests following the death of George Floyd.

However, Joseph Kernan, the undersecretary of defense for intelligence, sent a letter to House Intelligence Chair Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) assuring that he was not asked by anyone in the administration or the Pentagon to “undertake any unlawful or inappropriate intelligence activities that could violate civil liberties” in association with the protests and that the leaders of all three agencies had “personally assured me they have not received or made any such requests.”

What's unusual about the pick: If confirmed by the Senate, Berrier would replace Army Lt. Gen. Robert Ashley — who is expected to retire after a traditional three-year term as director — ensuring that the DIA would have back-to-back Army chiefs, something that hasn't occurred in six years, according to an agency history.
