Congress: NASA violated the law by awarding grants that were used by Chinese scientists
According to a report from the Republican members of a committee in the House, NASA has violated the law that forbids any cooperation or financial funding of China by awarding financial aid to more than a thousand research papers that were jointly published by both American and Chinese institutes.
The committee claimed more than 1,000 research papers had been jointly published by US and Chinese institutes with financial support from Nasa. Dozens of them involved people affiliated with China’s Seven Sons of National Defence, a group of universities with ties to the ministry of industry and information. Hundreds of the papers were linked to the Chinese Academy of Science, the state’s research institute.
The report also noted that “Beijing had used American taxpayer dollars to help fund research that enabled them to advance their weapons programmes. Among the Chinese arms were hypersonic missiles, nuclear weapons, artificial intelligence and microchips.”
The law these scientists have violated was passed after China stole significant technology when American satellite companies were using Chinese rockets in the late 1990s, and it forbids NASA to do any work in cooperation with China or any of its institutes.
None of this is a surprise however. Not only have many Chinese scientists come to the U.S. to obtain our technology, American academics (who in recent years have been more loyal to communism than their native country) have been almost all been willing to help them. in a sense, our academic community has largely become a fifth columnist working to help our enemies.
The support of my readers through the years has given me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Four years ago, just before the 2020 election I wrote that Joe Biden's mental health was suspect. Only in this year has the propaganda mainstream media decided to recognize that basic fact.
Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Even today NASA and Congress refuse to recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.

We have been fighting academic treason since WW2.
Did you know that during the wars lend lease program, on the recommendation of academics, we actually sent the Soviet Union 10 lbs of refined Uranium for research purposes. Along with hundreds of pounds of other elements. It is believed that this was eventually used in their first bomb.
We even sent them printing plates for US currency so they could pay their solders. Never got those back.
Academics either do not believe that people could be bad actors or are actually working against our US government.
