Alan Watt "Cutting Through The Matrix" LIVE on RBN:


US weapons 'full of fake Chinese parts', million fake parts had made their way into warplanes such as the Boeing C-17 transport jet and the Lockheed Martin C-130J "Super Hercules".


Hi folks, I’m back Cutting Through The Matrix and just to finish off, talking about China, it’s got the most favored nation trading status to the United States and elsewhere, by the United Nations, and the CFR and the Royal Institute of International Affairs, who set the whole free trade deals up. And they planned that over 100 years ago. Anyway...

US weapons 'full of fake Chinese parts'

Thousands of United States' warplanes, ships and missiles contain fake electronic components from China, leaving them open to malfunction, according to a US Senate committee.

The US Senate Armed Services Committee said its researchers had uncovered 1,800 cases in which the Pentagon had been sold electronics that may be counterfeit. (A: It’s from China. You should tell that to that guy that said they should do away with all the workers’ rights across the West, eh?)

In total, the committee said it had found more than a million fake parts had made their way into warplanes such as the Boeing C-17 transport jet and the Lockheed Martin C-130J "Super Hercules".

It also found fake components in Boeing's CH-46 Sea Knight helicopter and the Theatre High-Altitude Area Defence (THAAD) missile defence system.

"A million parts is surely a huge number. But I want to repeat this: we have only looked at a portion of the defence supply chain. So those 1,800 cases are just the tip of the iceberg," said Senator Carl Levin.

In around seven in 10 cases, the fake parts originated in China, while investigators traced another 20 per cent of cases to the United Kingdom and Canada, known resale points for Chinese counterfeits. (A: So they should arrest Britain and Canada then shouldn’t they? for selling counterfeit parts on behalf of the Chinese.)

In the southern Chinese province of Guangdong, counterfeit microchips are often smuggled out of factories, or burned off old computer circuit boards before having their identifying marks sanded off and repainted as new. (A: It’s true. They’ve got hoards of children sitting painting these things, around the garbage dumps.)

In Chinese bazaars, "military grade" microchips are openly advertised, although these chips are often commercial chips that have been modified and relabelled.

Military grade chips are designed to withstand far greater extremes of temperature and humidity, and there are fears that the fake Chinese parts could suddenly fail.

"We cannot tolerate the risk of a ballistic missile interceptor failing to hit its target, a helicopter pilot unable to fire his missiles, or any other mission failure because of a counterfeit part," said John McCain, the senior Republican Senator on the committee. (A: I guess, you see, Lockheed Martin and these guys, the big war industry boys, are wanting to start making them back home, or somewhere else, probably, again, from China; they’ll just have a better watch over that they’re made properly. They probably want the contract for themselves.)

Experts said the problems are not new, and have dated from a decision in the 1990s by the Clinton administration to cut costs by asking the Pentagon to buy "off-the-shelf" electronics, rather than designing its own systems.

As electronics manufacturing migrated to China (A: It was given to China, by the way.), the US has been less and less able to control the quality of its military hardware. Some of the fake chips are bought by the Pentagon on the open market in order to maintain its fleet of older vehicles, which have outdated circuitry. These chips are often salvaged by Chinese scrap merchants from the dumps of electronic waste that have accumulated in the south of the country.

In 2008, an investigation by the US Commerce department found nearly 7,400 incidents of fake electronics in military hardware (A: And actually there’s way more than that in civilian stuff. You don’t dare buy a wall socket to put in for your mains for your electricity in a room. I had one here and it had all the stamps on it, commercially approved and the whole thing, and the darn thing blew the main fuses as soon as I plugged anything into it, because it had literally no insulation between any of the contacts whatsoever.), while in 2005, internal Pentagon documents suggested that there had been equipment malfunctions because of fake parts.

The senate committee said China should "act promptly" and clamp down on its flourishing electronics black market. (A: And ya-da, ya, and ya-da, ya-da, ya, etc, and it goes on and on.)

I’ll put all these links up now at cuttingthroughthematrix.com in about an hour’s time and you can have a look at them for yourselves, maybe save them for posterity, when you’re talking to children who won’t have a clue that things were any different than the totalitarian system they’ll live under then.
