Episode 4685: CHINA’S BALLOON TERRORISM Carole Lieberman M.D.
from Renegade Talk Radio · host Renegade Talk Radio
China - the same people who assured us the Wuhan Lab didn’t spread Coronavirus and cause the Covid19 pandemic -tells us their balloon is only studying weather and had been blown off course. Yet, it traveled across America, ‘coincidentally’ taking in sensitive nuclear hotspots. So, not to burst your balloon, but to urge you to take the threat of China more seriously, this podcast points out that, just because China’s spy balloon has finally been shot down, it doesn’t mean that it’s the end of the story. We start with the classic French film, “The Red Balloon” and see how it’s a metaphor for China’s balloon. You will hear about the many nuances to this incident, from what makes this terrorism to what China’s motives might be, to whether it was a mistake for the U.S. to wait a week to shoot it down You will hear about the psychological impact of this incident: denial, terror, paranoia, globophobia (fear of balloons), and the connection to the "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast by Orson Welles, that sent Americans into a panic during similarly dark times. That incident involved the threat of martians landing, which bears striking similarities to the China balloon, Japan’s W.W. II balloons, and 9/11. You will hear more about China’s malicious plans for America, including how the spy balloon could be their dry run making way for balloons that carry nuclear weapons, and much more. Freud once famously said, “Sometimes a cigar is only a cigar.” But, a balloon is only a balloon when it doesn’t come from China.
