The sense that this is not good expands when you consider the origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the current conflict between the United States and China. Two Chinese researchers in Michigan have been charged with smuggling into the U.S. a fungus that devastates agricultural crops.
Was this an ‘agroterrorism’ operation intended to unleash a serious problem in the U.S. farming system? That intent cannot be dismissed easily.
MICHIGAN – Two Chinese nationals have been charged with allegedly smuggling into the U.S. a fungus called “Fusarium graminearum, which scientific literature classifies as a potential agroterrorism weapon,” the Justice Department said Tuesday.
Yunqing Jian, 33, and Zunyong Liu, 34, citizens of the People’s Republic of China, were allegedly receiving Chinese government funding for their research, some of it at the University of Michigan, officials said.
“The complaint also alleges that Jian’s electronics contain information describing her membership in and loyalty to the Chinese Communist Party,” a DOJ press release said.
“It is further alleged that Jian’s boyfriend, Liu, works at a Chinese university where he conducts research on the same pathogen and that he first lied but then admitted to smuggling Fusarium graminearum into America — through the Detroit Metropolitan Airport — so that he could conduct research on it at the laboratory at the University of Michigan where his girlfriend, Jian, worked,” according to the press release.
Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement that the Justice Department ““has no higher mission than keeping the American people safe and protecting our nation from hostile foreign actors who would do us harm.”
The FBI says it causes “head blight,” a disease of wheat, barley, maize, and rice, and is responsible for billions of dollars in economic losses worldwide each year.
“The alleged actions of these Chinese nationals — including a loyal member of the Chinese Communist Party — are of the gravest national security concerns. These two aliens have been charged with smuggling a fungus that has been described as a ‘potential agroterrorism weapon’ into in the heartland of America, where they apparently intended to use a University of Michigan laboratory to further their scheme,” U.S. Attorney Jerome Gorgan said.

Make them eat it
If they get anything like ergot poisoning, that would be a bad way to go.
Oh well!
So funny! Thanks DI.
Put it some general dung chicken and kung foo rice. Also add to some ai tea.
Maybe it is a cultural delicacy? Available from the “Wet Markets” back in their home town and they were just bringing in a snack from the mother-country? /sarc/
China continues to flex its muscles, against Tariffs.
Now that their “researchers” smuggling plan has been foiled, they can just …
… oh, I don’t know …
maybe just float a bunch in and air-disperse it via some kinda white balloon that floats across the entire U.S. ?
or something …
What ever happened with the nocturnal drone searching in New Jersey in December?
It was our government searching for something.
Maybe we can return the smuggled goods in the same manner.

Its been reported joe biden ate it every day for a week after leaving DC.
He was eating old corn pop cerial.
Is this why he has become ill?
Where there’s a will…..
Deport every stinkin’ professor….and chicom students….immediately. Why the hell are we educating our enemy? We have a knack of expediting our own demise…
they’re expediting your demise, not theirs
.
And ban all Chinese purchases of American land!
.
Stupid idea in the first place allowing the Chinese to purchase our land. We are a land of idiots and morons.
Selling to the highest bidder is a mindset driven by a desire for profit.
It should never have been allowed to begin with.
Do the cineese that own millions of acres if US farm land have another fungus amongus?😳
Yep.
YES!
The Chicoms own our government and universities, its a cheap investment in our demise, and must be stopped.
The same for HB1 visas for education and employment.
Remove the tax exemptions for non compliers.
Laowai reign still.
Start packing people, it is checkout time.
You must have missed it – last call was in the 90’s. Good luck leaving now
I am talking about the foreign nationals on any type of student, professor, H1, changing beds in a hotel.
Where to?
Mars.
I asked Sundance if they would cash out. There was a firm no of an answer. The same goes for myself. What concerns me more than the imported poison, are our own thinking they are making some grand profit when they are poisoning their own well.
the death penalty wouldn’t be too harsh
Correct. They do deserve the death penalty. However with Barbie Biondi preening for the media, she isn’t capable of actually doing anything of great significance
Then harvest their guts.
Two down with approximately 290,000 to go.
I think you can realistically put two zeros to that number, if you count the illegal and legal poison.
That’s just the approximate number of students from the People’s Republic of China, most of them admitted legally. Even our own DoS advises public institutions that the Chinese Communist Party entices or compels individuals to engage in coercive, deceptive, or illegal activity while here.
There are thousands of US citizens of Chinese descent growing up in China right now.
Via birthright baby tourism racket they exploit as well.
There are also born WASP that are colluding with the Chinese because they are F’ing communist. Interestingly enough, the enlightened academics have more than their fair share.
What this tells me is that the Trump tariffs are doing tremendous damage to the Chinese economy and XI cannot have the peasants revolting on him and his party. No way can the CCP try to contain billions of people concentrated in such small areas who may face massive unemployment and starvation. In that scenario the Chinese Army may just go along with the peasants.
Wishful thinking, but there may be hope.
China is undergoing regime change. Xi has run her into the ground. Polluted air, soil, and water. Wolf Warrior actions have run off the customers and jobs. Poorly managed Covid response cripplied the economy even more. Real Estate collapse which is 20% of the economy. Runaway spending on infrastructure that will never pay off. Did I mention Corruption?
Think of all the land stupidly sold to the Chinese in various states, including shamefully and irresponsibly in my state of Texas.
So near to US military installations.

North Carolina too!
The flip side, of course, is that we know where they are.
Not an entirely one sided complexity – though I agree with your overall “stupidly sold” theme.
Death penalty
how much American farmland China own? How many poultry mega operations? How many pork processing plants? How many ports?
we need to end foreign ownership of real estate, of farm land, of shoreline, etc..
Amen to that!!!
And why is that not a concern right now! Pork and other farms are Chinese owned in NC.
Smithfield….what a shame.
name all the foreign countries that allow flat out ownership of land by Americans. I suspect it is single digits
Eventually you spit on your hands and raise the black flag and start
………..
I’ll say it, Monti, Southern upbringing not withstanding.
It’s time…sorry, past time.
“Slitting throats”.
We’re a day late and a dollar short.
You have understated the time and money but
yeah, we are going to have to put in a lot of overtime.
Absolutely no good can come from having Red Chinese anywhere near our SMET facilities. Or even in our country at all. Every one of them must be deported asap.
University of Michigan has always sucked.
U Michigan. Isn’t that where the recently rejected candidate for U Florida president, Santa Ono, was in charge?
It’s where another Chinese “student” was enrolled, and voted illegally.
And was just reported today to have escaped back to China using a forged passport.
We have some real stellar security in this country.
“Fusarium graminearum”
Wonder if there is any connection to the fungus that causes fusarium wilt in tomatoes.
Strikes me as justification for nationalizing every square inch of Chinese-owned land in the U.S.
Damn Straight. I just saw your post.
Yes, the anniversary.
Back in February, there was another anniversary: 228. Its rarely referred to as a massacre, rather it is deemed an incident.
On February 28, 1947 our ally Chiang Kai Shek turned the machine guns on the Chinese on Taiwan, who were tired of the abuse by Chiang’s KMT. 20,000 or more slaughtered. Hardly a peep out of our government. The SF Chronicle reported a couple of hundred killed.
By himself, you’ll notice….
He is the only person standing between us and them. No one else gives a flip.
Sloppy ABC article doesn’t say what research they were approved to conduct at UMich. Presumably it has nothing to do with this fungus, so in addition to smuggling it they must have lied to UMich about what they were really up to. And lied to get the federal grant money to do their research (you know there must have been federal money involved or there would not have been a research project). And since no one at UMich discovered this, you also have to assume no one there is monitoring what is going on with the projects happening under their auspices.
And the biggest question of all is why any Chinese citizens are in the US conducting any research of any kind. All of it should be pulled and all of them sent home.
Jian is listed as a post doc in the [link follows] Molecular Plant-Microbe Interaction Working Groups . Go have a look at the personnel and their vitaes. CCP enclave. Hopefully it gets some white hot attention from DHS.
And the smuggler is a complete retard. The British penicillin group transported their Penicillium here vs. Nazis during WWII by sewing the mold spores into the linings of their coats. Undetectable if captured. Not retards.
Select People/Current at the link above to see the personnel.
The Chinese communist enemy would not have had to “lie” about anything. The foreigners, traitors, and useful idiots that populate and run American indoctrination centers (aka k12 schools, colleges, and universities) would gleefully help out!
This is an act of biological warfare.
May I change that to another act of biological warfare? The world is still reeling from the actions taken during Covid.

Aaaaaahhhh….EXCERRENT choice !!! We get that light aray fo’ you !!!
A Customs baggage examination at the Detroit airport revealed the fungus in Jian’s bag Apparently he lied to CBP officers during his secondary exam so he could theoretically be charged with 18USC1001, lying to a Federal officer, although up to now this law seems to be used exclusively against political opponents interviewed by FBI.
Btw there has been a push over the last 30 years to eliminate Customs baggage exams for arriving air passengers It started in the 1990s and was called baggage bypass. Now it is called something like remote baggage screening. Its a foolish idea, but makes things convenient for air carriers, who are perhaps likely to offer positions to Customs managers who are “helpful”.
You never know what you’ll find in a passenger’s bag. Food, animals (dead or alive);
The one that surprised me was the Indian Family’s bag that set my radiation pager to a level 9 out of 9.
Turned out their cooking utensils were radioactive!
Must’ve been made with contaminated steel.
And no, they didn’t get to keep (or cook with) them.
Good work by the CBP officers involved
👍 👍 👍
Yes. I had the first pager. Borrowed from DOE thru US Customs office of technology c 1991.
What I actually wanted was to borrow was a geiger counter, for something I needed to follow up on. But the tech guys suggested the pager (I did not know of it) and asked if I would field test it, which I did, noting its fragility and a couple of other areas that needed attention.
The tech guys in fact had been proponents of inspectors carrying such a device, but had been resisted by upper management.
Eventually, however, Customs was reluctantly dragged into the atomic age.
Yes, it’s considered regular equipment on your duty belt; remember to switch on/switch off at start/finish of shift.
It would alert when in the presence of a person who recently had a medical stress test.
I once had a Doctor (yes, a doctor) who alerted at about a 3-4 level.
We have to resolve alerts.
After Repeatedly asking if he had recently had a medical procedure, such as a stress test… and REPEATEDLY answering ‘no’… we had to get out the RIID (Radiation Isotope Identifier Device).
Of course, this was delaying him (and his family) from leaving our secondary processing area, which he was not happy about.
When we determined it was the isotope Thallium-201… only THEN did he acknowledge he had recently had a stress test.
So, after a considerable delay, involving a couple of officers and a supervisor, he was permitted to go on his way.
What a maroon!
I know ron! banned ChiComs from buying any new farmland here in Florida, but how much do they own currently?
I wonder how much the Death Farmer Gates owns?? Our food security sucks, to be frank.
I don’t trust 7/8 of the stuff I see when I walk around Publix now after getting the Alpha Galactose bite(s).
I never know what will trigger the shock response now.
I wonder how much the Death Farmer Gates owns??
LOL! Gates is so fookin’ weird.
How could University of Michigan not know what is being done in their labs?
Defund any federal grants to them.
it’s HUGE.
~ 100,000 attendees plus staff.
nickname: Behemoth U.
they have a Vet School with a well respected diagnostic lab, too,
and Fusarium g. being a well know toxin to livestock and horses via contaminated feed,
you’d think they’d be all over this.
well, you’d THINK….🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♂️
Like any bureaucracy….left hand has no clue what the right hand is doing.
You think the gubment has silos……..the same goes for large and medium sized businesses and universities.
slight correction…
U of Mich is not the U with the vet school and diagnostic labs, etc.
that is Mich State U
thank you, you’re absolutely right.
i worded that extremely poorly – the “they”, meaning the state of Michigan.
i need to brush up on the comment guidelines.😂
btw, the MSU lab building looks for all the world like a state prison.
but they do good work.👍🏻
The CCP is paying them not to know.
I’d pay attention also to the NBAF in Manhattan KS. My hometown has been invaded by the MIC which also employs many from the CCP
Dead chickens, dead cows, dead corn, dead Americans.
US pork producer Smithfield Farms is owned by WH Group, a global meat and food company based in Hong Kong.
Fentanyl, pathogens, cyber, etc. Direct action attacks from the CCP are an act of war.
All Chinese nationals should be ordered home. We’re at that point.
Makes you wonder what other nasty things have been smuggled into the USA that we don’t know about.

If
There’s no grass
There’s
No herds of animals
And precious little to eat, except root-based crops (potatoes).
The world starves in a year.
An agricultural apocalypse.
Death penalty
The thing that irks me is this happened last July. The Dems kept it buried because it was election season.
Oh my gosh!! Thank you for pointing that out!
noting: how many chyna aliens have flown into the US…how many have come by boat? how many have crossed the upper and southern border?
or said a different way..how many people in farm land america were sent “seeds” in the mail from a foreign address that they never asked for?
this has been an issue for about 11 years…my best guess.
also noting: certain variants of c-19 (specifically the family of Delta) has a surface effectivity of up to five days…and up to 30 days when environmental conditions are ideal (sub 20 C).
yes, drones and Ai are a problem…
but really you can “send” weapons by mail…and they are quite effective.
The C-19 virus having a surface life of 5 days reminds me of something I’ll never forget. When covid was first being talked about, probably early 2020, there was a video of Asian women on the west coast in big box stores. They were deliberately running their hands over lap top, tablet and electronic keyboards. They almost had a dazed look on their faces. This video never re-surfaced, that I know of, but it was chilling.
I have long believed that everything from murder hornets to unusual fruit flies, to now, the screw worm coming up from mexico, have all been purposely introduced by China. It is my sincere belief that they are already at war with us.
Oh, they definitely are.
Thankfully we have a president that realizes it.
Time for our borders to be closed to outside entities for the immediate future. No one has a “right” to enter our country and we have the right to refuse entry. We are way too lenient in this area. We have let way too many questionable people come into our country. America for Americans!
Remember all the cases of food animal deaths and food plant fires?
I’ve always found it likely that there was a terrorism aspect to them.
Deport them all!!!!
This is getting worse by the minute!
Couple that with the ongoing efforts to block out the sun. The Chinese are trying to murder us.
Why are we allowing Chinese to even be on our soil?
Deport them all. Then destroy them economically, for good. Godless Communism cannot be allowed to stand, much less have world power.
This should result in the death penalty.
Just a suggestion to all the super-intelligent people at DOJ and FBI (not).
Check their contacts with US pharma and big Ag companies. I wouldn’t overlook breweries either, lots of used mash is sold off for fertilizer/soil amendments.
Anyway, it takes a major undertaking to create enough of this stuff to really wreak havoc. Jus’ sayin’
The two students researched ‘agroterrorism weapon’ and an article was found on Liu’s phone titled, “Plant-Pathogen Warfare under Changing Climate Conditions”.
This isn’t political theater. It’s Chinese warfare undertaken by the enemy within, without the need for armed confrontation.
Why was the Covid virus cover-up so aggressively engineered by the Western scientific community?

Interesting.
There was an article I skimmed last week vis cartels coordinating to export screwworms embedded in various meat types to the US. These nasty critters literally eat their hosts – including humans. This is not a phantom threat.
Just another ‘gain of function’ research project.Our government never stops looking for ways to do us in.The recent book titled
Bitten : the secret history of Lyme disease and biological weapons,Kris Newby.
This true story dives into the mystery surrounding one of the most controversial and misdiagnosed conditions of our time–Lyme disease–and of Willy Burgdorfer, the man who discovered the microbe behind it, revealing his secret role in developing bug-borne biological weapons, and raising terrifying questions about the genesis of the epidemic of tick-borne diseases affecting millions of Americans today.
Willy Burgdorfer, the Lyme microbe’s discoverer, who revealed that he had developed bug-borne bioweapons during the Cold War, and believed that the Lyme epidemic was started by a military experiment gone wrong. In a superb, meticulous work of narrative journalism, Bitten takes readers on a journey to investigate these claims,
I’d like to send all these researchers to replace the Beagle puppies that Fauci used in those offshore experiments.Can we just send all the Chinese ”researchers”home ? They can take their CIA masters with them.
How do we know these balloons flying over our country haven’t already been dropping these biological weapons
Target some people and you will kill some people. But target the food or water and you will kill most of the people.
This is biological warfare. Agroterrorism doesn’t quite have the same slap-in-the-face-wake-up message.
News reports suggest they are boyfriend and girlfriend. More likely, they are two red army soldiers assigned to act like innocent bf and gf and spread that fungus.
Great just great. The CCP is buying up farm land across the USofA and these spies are or were allowed to conduct research and experiments on grain fungi at the University of Michigan. I wonder how much of this activity to destroy America’s crops is being funded by grants from the federal government.
Why do I get the feeling our espionage attempts v Chyna are nil?
Drop some moo shu magic mushrooms over shanghai or something. Anything!
Bah. 😑
Stealth, accidental or intentional biowarfare. The timing is too convenient. Something related to the invasion must have had something to do with it.
The Screwworm Is Coming
May 27, 2025
https://www.yahoo.com/news/man-eater-screwworm-coming-131542658.html
The United States has, for 70 years, been fighting a continuous aerial war against the New World screwworm, a parasite that eats animals alive: cow, pig, deer, dog, even human. (Its scientific name, C. hominivorax, translates to “man-eater.”) Larvae of the parasitic fly chew through flesh, transforming small nicks into big, gruesome wounds. But in the 1950s, the U.S. Department of Agriculture laid the groundwork for a continent-wide assault. Workers raised screwworms in factories, blasted them with radiation until they were sterile, and dropped the sterile adult screwworms by the millions—even hundreds of millions—weekly over the U.S., then farther south in Mexico, and eventually in the rest of North America.
The sterile flies proceeded to, well, screw the continent’s wild populations into oblivion, and in 2006, an invisible barrier was established at the Darién Gap, the jungle that straddles the Panama-Colombia border, to cordon the screwworm-free north off from the south. The barrier, as I observed when I reported from Panama several years ago, consisted of planes releasing millions of sterile screwworms to rain down over the Darién Gap every week. This never-ending battle kept the threat of screwworms far from America.
But in 2022, the barrier was breached. Cases in Panama—mostly in cattle—skyrocketed from dozens a year to 1,000, despite ongoing drops of sterile flies. The parasite then began moving northward, at first slowly and then rapidly by 2024, which is when I began getting alarmed emails from those following the situation in Central America. As of this month, the parasite has advanced 1,600 miles through eight countries to reach Oaxaca and Veracruz in Mexico, with 700 miles left to go until the Texas border. The U.S. subsequently suspended live-cattle imports from Mexico.
After this latest news broke, I spoke with Wayne Cockrell, a Texas rancher who fears the screwworm’s return to Texas is now a matter of when, not if. The anti-screwworm program cannot produce enough sterile flies to stop the parasite’s advance, much less beat it back down to Panama, Cockrell explained. He has followed the outbreak closely as the chair of the cattle-health committee for the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association, even visiting the sterile-fly factory recently. “There’s a sense of dread on my part now,” he told me.

Panama is full of creepy crawlies that are seeking entrance into the human body. As kids, we never went barefoot there, except at the beach or the pool.
The paragraph at the end of your first link seems the most plausible immediate explanation to me.
This rapid advance was because of the illegal cattle trade, Jeremy Radachowsky, the director for Mesoamerican and the Western Caribbean at the Wildlife Conservation Society, told me. His organization has tracked the practice in Central America, where 800,000 cattle a year are raised illegally in nature reserves and then smuggled by boat and truck up to Mexico. This allowed the screwworm to spread much faster than it can fly. The line of new screwworm cases followed known smuggling routes, Radachowsky said. The constant northward movement of infected cattle could now make re-eradication more difficult. It’s like trying to empty a pool when “the spigot’s still open,” he said.
Now, is smuggling — of all kinds — happening because the CIA gets more money from allowing it, or because their friends in the cartels are making hay while the CIA puts its efforts and attention into attacking citizens in the US and Europe, or because it is Deep State policy to allow it, or because everything is rotted through with diversity hires, or because any organization that is not explicitly small-c conservative goes Socialist…?
