Sen Ted Cruz takes issue with Linda Thomas-Greenfield for her praise of China’s “humanitarian” Belt and Road Initiative in Africa – a predatory loan program. That she said during a paid 2019 speech to the CCP-funded Confucius Institute. Cruz won’t vote to confirm her, but will enough votes get her in?

february 6 2021
00:03
and some interesting developments one of
00:04
the things we keep a very close eye on
00:06
here at americans for intelligence
00:08
reform
00:08
one of the things we’re always looking
00:10
at is communist china
00:12
and uh the relationship that is now
00:14
blossoming that we see with the biden
00:16
administration
00:17
and the communists in china uh and
00:20
one of the things that just came out was
00:22
kind of interesting it was from uh
00:24
senator
00:24
ted cruz from texas uh has has come out
00:27
and started talking about it
00:29
and he’s had a pretty good feel for this
00:31
in the past and has done a
00:32
a pretty good job there’s some other
00:34
things i’d love to see him come out on
00:36
like the bank of america scandal where
00:39
they
00:40
volunteered to go find up a bunch of dig
00:42
up a bunch of information on private
00:44
american citizens
00:45
you know it’s it’s uh it’s illegal now
00:47
to buy a muffin in washington dc on your
00:50
debit card at any rate uh where he has
00:52
done a great job
00:53
uh is pointing out a lot of the problems
00:55
that have gone on with
00:56
the already between the biden
00:58
administration and china
01:00
and uh what’s really
01:03
floats to the top of that pile
01:05
immediately for me
01:07
is uh biden put in somebody to be
01:10
well linda thomas greenfield is the name
01:13
to be ambassador the united nations
01:16
and back in 2019 she’s getting
01:18
resistance ted cruz being one of the
01:20
people that’s voting
01:21
against her because it’s a senate
01:22
confirmation position
01:24
and so he’s he’s one of the same people
01:26
saying she’s not
01:27
uh qualified so she goes she speaks in
01:30
2019
01:31
at a chinese communist party sponsored
01:34
event
01:34
through one of its controlled assets
01:37
which is the confucius the confucius
01:39
institute
01:40
and um she she’s invited to speak by
01:44
them i’m sure she was paid generously
01:46
for doing so
01:47
by the communists as well and she’s
01:50
talking about things like
01:52
that that how great china is doing in
01:54
africa
01:56
and they have this uh belts and roads
01:58
program
01:59
which that you know in in the secret
02:02
parlance of the cia which is
02:04
my background you know we call that loan
02:07
sharking
02:08
and what china does is they come in with
02:10
these very aggressive programs
02:12
to build all this infrastructure for
02:13
countries that can’t possibly build it
02:15
themselves
02:16
and this stretches from africa to latin
02:18
america even to canada
02:19
where they’ve been putting in some big
02:21
things especially out in the west coast
02:22
of canada
02:23
and they have this program to put in
02:25
this infrastructure
02:27
it can be buildings and convention
02:28
centers and highways and railroads
02:30
whatever it is
02:31
but they do it as like loan shark they
02:33
come in and put the stuff in and it’s
02:34
all set up in such a way
02:36
that you can’t pay it back these people
02:38
just aren’t set up in a way it’s not
02:40
going to generate enough income
02:41
where these loans can be paid back so
02:43
what china ends up doing
02:45
is being owed money and they confiscate
02:47
these things in lieu of payment
02:49
plus other stuff because the debt keeps
02:51
going up
02:52
so i mean it’s absolute loan shark very
02:54
aggressive deal to take
02:56
economic control worldwide wherever they
02:58
can like i said this is latin america
03:00
uh africa and all the way north even
03:02
into canada
03:04
and so this lady greenfield is talking
03:08
about what a wonderful program this
03:10
is that that china is doing and how you
03:13
know
03:13
it’s africa is so far away and we should
03:16
just let the chinese do this because
03:17
they’re doing this
03:18
this great work of humanity i mean talk
03:21
about
03:22
uh you know it’s one of two things
03:24
either just blind ignorance stupidity
03:26
ignorance some sort of
03:28
combination of those things or she’s
03:30
subservient to communist chinese
03:33
goals so or a combination of the two
03:36
all of which are terrible so this is a a
03:39
horrible horrible person to put into
03:40
this position
03:42
and now uh one of the things that’s been
03:44
a real uh thorn and one of the other
03:46
things she backs is opening up
03:48
allowing huawei huawei is the chinese
03:51
tech
03:52
giant owned controlled by
03:55
communist china and make no mistake
03:58
completely tied in and
03:59
integrated with chinese intelligence to
04:02
run
04:02
to be allowed to do the 5g program now
04:05
some 5g is
04:06
great stuff runs really fast and and
04:08
they’ve stolen enough technology that
04:10
they have something that works decently
04:12
and why it’s kind of popular in the
04:14
world but this is a real danger to all
04:16
of us
04:17
if china controls our 5g they control
04:20
everything here they know
04:21
everything because all of that data is
04:23
in there and i’ve
04:24
this is an example i’ve used before but
04:26
you know if you if you think well
04:27
they’re not listening in on every
04:28
individual phone call but you
04:30
you i’ve been on the other side of this
04:32
looking at these sorts of information
04:35
you can tell everything about somebody
04:38
just by seeing who they call where they
04:40
show up where they use their credit card
04:41
or debit card and those sorts of things
04:43
you can tell you know almost everything
04:45
about a person
04:46
and you know if if you you know even if
04:49
they don’t hear the phone call but they
04:50
suddenly see
04:51
a phone call from your doctor or your
04:53
clinic that you go to and you’re on the
04:55
phone for an hour
04:56
and then you hang up and you immediately
04:58
call some treatment clinic
05:00
you know and you’re on the phone there
05:02
for an hour what
05:03
they’re they’re going to know more or
05:05
less exactly what the problem is they’re
05:07
going to have access
05:08
to your medical records they have access
05:10
to your phone calls they’ll have access
05:11
to your
05:12
credit card data your mortgage uh all of
05:15
this information all of this goes
05:16
through 5g and they suck it all in
05:18
and who does it go to it goes to chinese
05:21
intelligence now
05:23
again this is stuff i’ve already seen
05:25
problems with
05:26
just by the chinese hacking us and
05:29
stealing the office of personnel
05:30
management information which
05:31
again it’s one of the things i point out
05:33
all the time it’s china that’s doing
05:34
this hacking not russia
05:36
russia does it too but they’re a smaller
05:38
player compared to china
05:40
and they’re using that information to
05:42
target former
05:43
uh you know federal employees current
05:46
federal employees they use it as
05:49
information for targeting them hoping to
05:51
recruit these sorts of people
05:52
who knows i mean they would have for
05:54
example prob i don’t know if
05:56
if congressman swalwell was one of those
05:59
people that had been working at the time
06:01
where the hack took place
06:02
but if he was a congressman by that time
06:04
he would have had to file these reports
06:06
and they would have
06:07
all of his information you know all of
06:08
his personal bio
06:10
and who knows maybe that was stuff that
06:11
they were using where they sent this
06:13
girl that was a spy that was sleeping
06:15
with him and funneling money to him
06:16
the way he could have been targeted out
06:18
of that was somehow related to that
06:19
opium hack
06:21
we just don’t know how they originally
06:22
took a look at him but
06:24
uh if you think it’s bad now which i’m
06:26
you know promise
06:27
everyone it’s they’re very aggressive
06:30
one of the things mike pompeo as
06:32
secretary of state
06:33
said to the governor’s meetings is that
06:35
china has a file on every single one of
06:36
you
06:37
the governors and in all 50 states and
06:39
they do
06:40
they put together these files they’re
06:42
targeting well down inside
06:44
state government level they’re targeting
06:46
across the federal government
06:48
and this is a worldwide program they’re
06:49
very aggressive on this stuff so
06:51
this huawei being involved in 5g is a
06:54
disaster absolute disaster they would be
06:57
able to shut down our
06:58
our power grids across the nation and in
07:00
effect train schedules and plane
07:02
schedules and
07:03
you know everything they would have
07:05
access to all of this stuff it would be
07:07
extraordinarily stupid and dangerous to
07:09
allow them to do it and yet
07:10
this is what we see coming out of the
07:12
biden administration if this goes
07:14
forward
07:15
this is just forgive me to be crude
07:18
again but it’s dropping trout of the
07:20
chinese i mean it’s
07:21
it’s absolutely giving up the goods it’s
07:23
stunning stupidity
07:25
that somebody like that could be picked
07:27
to go into position
07:28
like uh ambassador to the united nations
07:30
so this is a danger and i’m thankful to
07:33
senator ted cruz from texas
07:35
that he’s uh that he’s actually raised
07:37
these issues for the american public so
07:39
hopefully word gets out on this stuff
07:41
and some outrage is going to
07:43
be apparent over this sort of thing and
07:44
we can and we can have some luck in
07:46
shutting this sort of person down like
07:48
this uh
07:49
linda greenfield uh terrible terrible
07:51
choice
07:52
and yet biden is willing to do it and
07:54
you’ve got to ask yourself the question
07:56
why why would he do be picking people
07:59
like that that are so
08:01
subservient to the chinese communists or
08:04
so stupidly ignorant that they don’t
08:05
know what they’re doing so
08:07
anyway something to keep your eye on
08:09
it’s certainly a problem thanks
