BREAKING WORLD WAR III NEWS: CHINA SAYS IT RESERVES THE RIGHT TO RESPOND AFTER BALLOON IS SHOT DOWN; CHINESE SPY BALLOON POTENTIALLY CARRIED EXPLOSIVES TO DESTROY ITSELF; ROUGH SEAS COMPLICATE RECOVERY. Daniel Whyte III, President of Gospel Light Society International, says, as he has mentioned before, this balloon was a “trial” balloon sent to provoke the response and insane, weak-looking hysteria, and sad, weird, superfluous, over-the-top congratulations of the fighter pilot and the military for shooting down a balloon as big as the moon like they did something great is very telling to our enemies and us. This gung-ho, rah-rah foolishness about shooting down a giant balloon after it crossed the nation must cease and should not be present at the President’s State of the Union address. And the media should stop showing the balloon blown to pieces. Haven’t we seen that enough already? And haven’t the Chinese people seen it enough? Seriously, people, we are acting like children and inadvertently provoking the very people we do not want and should not want to engage with in war. The “trial” balloon served its purpose for China. We fell for it hook, line, and sinker, in that China can say the following, which gives them the upper hand: “China will resolutely uphold the relevant company’s rights and interests and at the same time reserves the right to take further actions in response.” For the first time in her history, America is not in the driver’s seat regarding a possible war; instead, she is being driven. In other words, even though our government wisely does not want to get into a war with China and Russia and should do everything she can to avoid getting into a war with China, because as Whyte has predicted and stated repeatedly over the past twelve years, America will lose because God is not with America anymore because of the gross sins and abominations of the church with such sins as adultery, child molestation, homosexuality, and colluding with the government to endorse and sanction homosexuality and homosexual marriage throughout the nation. Whyte says it does not matter what kind of arsenal or fighting men, fighting women, or fighting homosexuals the nation has. God will not be with a nation that has done so wickedly in His sight in light of how good He has been to America for over 250 years. So it appears to Whyte that WAR HAS BEEN DETERMINED AGAINST AMERICA by God almighty using China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and a host of other nations that China and Russia have attracted to their side and have different reasons than God to attack America. China, Russia, and a host of other countries worldwide have a disappointed and bad attitude toward America. Whyte says that even though he predicted the destruction of America through war, specifically naming these four countries and by other means over the past twelve years in writing and in preaching, which many people have seen and heard, just as Abraham tried to stop the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Whyte has spent much of his time trying to prevent this war and the destruction of America as well. That is why Whyte has preached the Gospel and the Word of God nearly every day for seven years by March 2023. And Whyte does not want anyone to think he is some super-spiritual guy. Whyte did it because God led him to do so. Believe it or not, Whyte is a fun-loving person. He would like to have peace to finish out his life, enjoying the extraordinary life God has given him, especially with items from Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and HEB Super grocery stores. But the people in the church have messed up the church, the nation, and the world and have become a Judas church and the worst Laodicean church in the history of the world. And the life we have enjoyed before will soon be gone with the whirlwind. “For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up” (Hosea 8:7).

China says it reserves the right to take additional action after the U.S. shot down what it claimed was a spy balloon off the South Carolina coast.

The U.S. claimed the balloon, which was drifting over U.S. territory, was illegally spying. China says it was a weather balloon blown off course.

U.S. officials waited until it blew over the Atlantic before shooting it down on Saturday, on the grounds that it might have hurt someone it landed on otherwise.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry warned today that “China will resolutely uphold the relevant company’s rights and interests and at the same time reserves the right to take further actions in response.”

It said the balloon had been blown over the U.S. “completely by accident” and registered “strong dissatisfaction and protest against the U.S.’s use of force to attack civilian unmanned aircraft.”

Pentagon officials admitted that they did not see how the balloon would provide Beijing with any intelligence it could not gain anyway from satellites, though President Biden praised the air force for successfully shooting it down.

CHINESE SPY BALLOON POTENTIALLY CARRIED EXPLOSIVES TO DESTROY ITSELF

• A top Pentagon official said the Chinese was 200-feet tall and had a payload the size of a jetliner 
• Air Force Gen. Glen D. VanHerck, commander of U.S. Northern Command, divulged new details about the downed balloon on a call with reporters Monday
• The delay ‘afforded us a terrific opportunity to gain a better understanding, to study the capabilities of this balloon’ said the general 

As Navy divers work to recover debris from the downed Chinese spy balloon, a top general said Monday that the U.S. is investigating whether it was carrying explosives, describing it as 200-feet tall, weighing thousands of pounds and with a payload the size of a jetliner.

‘So, I can’t confirm whether it had explosives or not. Anytime you down something like this, we make an assumption that that potential exists,’ said Air Force Gen. Glen D. VanHerck, commander of U.S. Northern Command, on a briefing call with reporters.

‘We did not associate the potential of having explosives with a threat to dropping weapons, those kinds of things, but out of a precaution, abundance of safety for not only our military people and the public, we have to make assumptions such as that.’

The general’s description followed a briefing by National Security Council spokesman John Kirby, who defended President Joe Biden’s decision to wait and shoot down the Chinese craft until it was over South Carolina’s coastline on Saturday.

‘Because the president decided they wouldn’t shoot it down until he could do so safely – and that meant over water – that afforded us a terrific opportunity to gain a better understanding, to study the capabilities of this balloon,’ he told reporters on a call.

Biden ordered the balloon shot down Wednesday, but under the advice of the U.S. military, it was held off until Saturday, with the Air Force sending an F-22 fighter jet armed with an AIM-9X Sidewinder missile to do the job over water.

The delay opened Biden up to political attacks from Republicans, many of whom demanded it shot down above land shortly after it was first reported to be flying above Montana.

‘The time that we had to study this balloon over the course of a few days last week, we believe was important and will give us a lot more clarity, not only on the capabilities that these balloons have, but what China is trying to do with them,’ Kirby said.

‘It hasn’t gotten a lot of attention and I understand there’s criticism over the fact that it traversed the United States, but again, we took steps to mitigate whatever collection capability that balloon would have over our sensitive military sites,’ he added.

Kirby wouldn’t specify what precautions were taken during the balloon’s multi-day flyover.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre echoed the point during her Monday briefing.

‘Shooting the balloon down over water wasn’t just the safest option, it might maximize the chance of recovering the payload,’ she said.

Video of balloon debris was shared by South Carolina news outlets, coming in on a boat near North Myrtle Beach on Sunday.

The debris field is the size of ‘more than 15 football fields by 15 football fields, according to the Pentagon.

VanHerck said the majority of the debris had been collected, but there was a possibility some could come ashore, and warned people to call the authorities and stay away from it.

Weather conditions had yet to allow undersea recovery efforts to fully begin, Kirby said.

But Kirby argued that the remains of the balloon would be helpful to the U.S.

‘Our efforts to surveil this balloon and what we will learn from the recovery will prove to be valuable,’ he said.

Rough seas complicate US efforts to recover suspected China spy balloon

Navy vessels were off the coast of South Carolina on Monday to recover pieces of the suspected Chinese surveillance balloon shot down this past weekend, though rough waters initially complicated the effort, according to the head of U.S. Northern Command.

A Navy dock landing ship, the USS Carter Hall, is in the vicinity of where the balloon splashed down after President Biden on Saturday ordered the U.S. military to shoot down the aerial object that had spent days floating over the country, Gen. Glen VanHerck told reporters.

The ship is currently collecting and categorizing debris while an oceanographic survey ship, USNS Pathfinder, is mapping out the balloon’s debris field, predicted at about 1,500 meters by 1,500 meters, or “more than 15 football fields by 15 football fields,” he said.

As the military is worried that material on the balloon could contain explosives or be hazardous, an explosive ordnance disposal team was on-site Monday morning. The forces deployed unmanned underwater vehicles with side-scan sonar to further locate sunken debris, VanHerck noted.

 

FBI and Naval Criminal Investigative Service agents are also working with U.S. forces on the salvage operations, though VanHerck couldn’t say where the debris is going to go for a final analysis.

Why the US waited to shoot down the China balloon 

He added that rough seas on Sunday curtailed some recovery operations such as underwater surveillance and said some debris may float to shore due to ocean currents. Should that happen, he asked the public to avoid contact with any debris and to contact local law enforcement if they find it.

Earlier on Monday, national security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters that recovering the balloon will take time but that “we can then exploit what we recover and learn even more than we have learned.”

The salvage operation concludes a bizarre series of days in which the suspected Chinese balloon floated through U.S. airspace. At some points, it was visible to those on the ground, and it was first spotted over Montana. Defense officials said it was a clear effort to spy on sensitive sites, though officials held off on shooting it down until it was over water due to fears falling debris could harm civilians.

President Biden has since faced intense criticism from Republicans, who said he acted too slowly to shoot down the balloon. News has also emerged of previous cases of Chinese surveillance balloons crossing over the U.S. at least three times during the Trump administration.

What we know about Chinese balloon sightings during Trump presidency 

VanHerck acknowledged that a “domain awareness gap” led to U.S. officials being unaware of the several previous surveillance balloons that flew over the country at that time.
