Administrator funneled Army aviation tech data to Beijing University

A 35-year-old former program administrator for a nonprofit space research company pleaded guilty to a charge that he illegally funneled payments for Army aviation technology that he then exported to a China-based university.

From 2016 to 2020, Jonathan Yet Wing Soong worked as a program administrator for Universities Space Research Association, a nonprofit corporation that focuses on space science and technology, according to a federal prosecutor’s news release.

He pleaded guilty on Tuesday in federal court to violating the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Have you ever noticed that nearly every one of those discovered/convicted of smuggling data and/or secrets to the ChiComs is Chinese?

In all seriousness:
Bring back "the Chinese Exclusion Act".

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Money is the carrot...relatives in China are the stick.

We used to define such a situation as a 'security risk', back when we had security.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
