-Caveat Lector- TUESDAY FEBRUARY 09 1999 Charles Smith is a journalist and President of SOFTWAR, a computer security company based in Richmond, VA. He writes frequently on issues of national security and information warfare. -------------- Another Chinese strategic coup COSTIND, a Chinese army unit known for its successful penetration of the Clinton White House, has scored another big success. In 1997, Ge Hunbiao, the People's Liberation Army general and political commissar of COSTIND, quietly signed a treaty obtaining the Pacific island of Tarawa as a PLA satellite tracking and control station. The new Chinese army base was declared fully operational in January 1999. The position of Tarawa will allow China to monitor U.S. ballistic missile and anti-ballistic missile (ABM) tests just 500 miles north in the Kwajalein Test Range. According to the General Accounting Office, "COSTIND" -- the Chinese Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense -- "oversees development of China's weapon systems and is responsible for identifying and acquiring telecommunications technology applicable for military use." The Tarawa ground-based optical and radar-tracking system is far more powerful than any system currently deployed at sea. The base allows PLA forces to monitor and track U.S. ballistic missile tests in the south Pacific test ranges without the expense of forward-deployed Chinese navy tracking vessels. The station also allows China to monitor U.S. forces in the Pacific region. This capability includes military signals intercepts, communications with PLA recon and ferret satellites, and target acquisition for Chinese anti-satellite (A-SAT) systems such as ground-based lasers. A ground-based laser could be installed on Tarawa to give the PLA a quick strike capability to shoot down or disable all U.S. military satellites in time of war over the Pacific. However, a laser may not be required to deny U.S. space assets from a Tarawa base. The PLA could also use simple "barrage" radio jamming or high-power microwave transmitters to disable U.S. satellites with existing equipment at the site. The base already allows the PLA to track U.S. fleet operations via signal intercepts from Navy battle groups. Any major U.S. response to hostile acts in the Asian region will require the immediate deployment of U.S. carrier naval forces. These forces will either come across the Pacific or through the Indian Ocean. The Tarawa base allows direct signals intercepts and tracking of U.S. Navy forces in the mid-Pacific area. The PLA Tarawa base may also provide significant sonar and radio emission signals intelligence to track U.S. submarine forces, including the "Ohio" class of Trident missile boats which deploy from the Pacific coast of Washington state. Secure fiber-optic cable systems attached to microphones on the Pacific sea floor surrounding the Tarawa atoll group may pick up undersea activities for hundreds of miles. The Tarawa signals intercept capability includes "traffic" analysis, a form of information warfare that does not need sophisticated decoding systems to determine U.S. intentions and military reactions. However, breaches of secure code systems (e.g. John Walker) could allow PLA forces to decipher messages in real time from U.S. satellites and military forces. Tarawa's mid-Pacific location is perfect for "cooking." A PLA ability to decode U.S. military messages combined with high-speed U.S. built computers may give the PLA the ability to intercept, decode and ALTER American military communications in real-time. This capability is called "cooking" in information warfare terms. Such a capability would put all U.S. forces at grave danger of a Chinese first strike. The base currently controls Chinese satellites in orbit. This capability can include missiles or thermonuclear warheads in flight through space. The PLA capability includes secure correction/control of first strike nuclear warheads intended to destroy strategic missiles and B-2 bombers on the American continent. Based on the position of the satellite station in Tarawa the logical military deployment would be for China to build a similar A-SAT site in the far western provinces (e.g. Kazakhstan). Two A-SAT sites, one in the Pacific and one along the western border, provides 100 percent PLA denial of U.S. space forces covering the far-Asian areas of conflict (e.g. Sea of China, Sea of Japan, Yellow Sea and Sea of Okhotsk). The center of PLA A-SAT military operations, in geographic terms, is Taiwan. COSTIND, the Chinese Army unit responsible for the successful deployment on Tarawa, has a long history of anti-American espionage operations including penetrations of the Clinton White House. President Clinton personally authorized LORAL Aerospace CEO Bernard Schwartz to meet with a COSTIND General. In August 1994, Schwartz accompanied Ron Brown on the Presidential Business Development Mission trade trip to China. At the behest of Bill Clinton, Schwartz met with officials of the Chinese defense industry, Lt. General Shen Rong-Jun, the vice minister of the COSTIND, and Liu Ji-Yuan, the minister of China Aerospace Corp. China Aerospace manufactures all Chinese army ballistic missiles and space rockets. Schwartz and Brown arranged to sell advanced secure satellite telemetry control systems to the Chinese army and purchased Chinese rockets to launch commercial satellites for Loral. COSTIND General Shen had more than just the Loral success. General Shen's son, Shen Jun, penetrated Hughes to become the top software engineer for all satellites sold to China. Shen inspected all the Hughes satellite control and computer software and can verify that no U.S. bugs or viruses have been planted inside satellites sold by Hughes. In 1996, a COSTIND military agent actually penetrated the White House. In 1996, Chinese Colonel Liu Chaoying passed money directly to Bill Clinton through Johnny Chung. Colonel Liu is a member of COSTIND's Electronics and Computer Division. In 1996, when she donated money to meet Bill Clinton, Col. Lui was then working with China Aerospace Corp. for COSTIND. Lt. General Shen and Col. Lui are not the only Chinese army officers who worked with Bill Clinton to pass significant military technology to China. In 1994, COSTIND commanding General Ding Genghao personally led a raid on U.S. technology that, once more, took his agents into the Clinton administration. In 1994, Secretary of Defense William Perry was a close friend with the American pawn of the COSTIND espionage, Professor John Lewis from Stanford. Just by coincidence, COSTIND sub-commander General Huai Guomo had something in common with Perry and Professor Lewis -- they were all close friends of a so-called Chinese defector named Hua Di. Hua Di was born into a family of prominent Communist officials. He studied missiles in Russia and worked in China's missile program for 24 years. In 1984, Hua went to work for the China International Trust and Investment Co. (CITIC) a firm part owned by the Chinese army. In 1989, Hua became a defector, leaving China after the Tiananmen Square crackdown on student democracy demonstrators. Hua went to work as a researcher at Stanford's Center for International Security and Arms Control, whose co-directors are former Secretary of Defense William Perry and Stanford political science professor Lewis. Hua Di and John Lewis shared more than an academic career. John Lewis and Hua Di worked together in 1994 on the Hua Mei project, using a company named SCM/Brooks. COSTIND Lt. General Huai Guomo contacted Hua Di to start the joint venture called Galaxy New Technology to work on "Hua Mei," a real-time, secure, fiber- optic system for southern China. "Lewis and I were matchmakers," recalled Hua Di about Galaxy New Technology in 1996. "(COSTIND General) Huai is my good friend." Hua Di and his pal, General Huai, located Madam Nie Li who became the civilian cover for Galaxy New Technology as the Chinese co-chair. Madam Nie Lie was also the wife of Chinese Army General Ding Henggao -- the commander of COSTIND. Dr. Lewis located Aldai Stevenson III, the former Democratic senator from Ohio, to be the American civilian side. In 1994, SCM/Brooks contracted AT&T to ship advanced, secure, fiber optic communication systems directly to the Chinese army. The shipment included "encryption" source code. AT&T officials who sold most of the equipment and software to SCM/Brooks were adamant that there was no need to check the Chinese firm, Galaxy New Technology, since it was led by Ms. Nie Lie, a civilian. Documents obtained from the Department of Defense using the Freedom of Information Act show Mr. Lewis was being paid by the Chinese army for Hua Mei while serving on the U.S. Defense Policy Board and working for DoD as a paid contractor. The so called "civilian" firm was heavily packed with Chinese Army officers and experts. One member of Galaxy New Technology management, according to the Defense document, was Director and President "Mr. Deng Changru." Mr. Deng Changru was also Lt. Colonel Deng Changru of the People's Liberation Army, head of the PLA "SIGNALS" communications corps. Another Chinese Army officer in the Galaxy New Technology staff is co-General Manager "Mr. Xie Zhichao" who is really Lt. Colonel Xie Zhichao, Director of the COSTIND Electronics Design Bureau. The U.S. fiber-optic communication system currently provides the General Logistics Division of the PLA with secure communications. The Hua Mei system is safe from nuclear attack and secure from prying signals intelligence monitoring. China has resold the American technology in the form of the "Tiger Song" (NATO code name) secure, fiber-optic, air defense communications system to Iraq. "Tiger Song" despite being pounded by Allied cruise missile and smart bomb attacks from operation "Desert Fox" is still active, serving Iraqi Surface-To-Air Missile (SAM) systems. In late October 1998, it was announced that "dissident" Hua Di had returned to China. Hua had met with Chinese security officials in late 1997 and was assured that he would not be prosecuted. On Dec. 31, 1997, Hua returned to China. On January 6, 1998, Hua was arrested and charged with passing state secrets to U.S. officials. Stanford officials and John Lewis wrote to the Chinese government appealing for Hua's release. Only a fool would run into the arms of the murdering security services of the Communist Chinese state. Hua Di was no fool, nor was he a "dissident." Hua Di returned home a hero of the Chinese Communist Party. Hua Di was one of many in a network of spies run by COSTIND mastermind General Ding. Hua Di passed false information to the west, obtained secure communications for the Chinese army and penetrated into the Clinton White House through the U.S. secretary of defense. Hua Di served his nation, his party, and his commander, General Ding of COSTIND. General Ding Henggao of COSTIND deserves the highest honors the People's Liberation Army can bestow. COSTIND defeated America and dramatically enhanced the strategic powers of red China without firing a shot. The COSTIND espionage campaign against the Clinton White House is the single most successful operation of the 20th century. http://www.worldnetdaily.com © 1999 Western Journalism Center ------------ ...Son of the Republic, look and learn. At this, the dark, shadowy angel placed a trumpet to his mouth and blew three distinct blasts; and taking water from the ocean, he sprinkled it upon Europe, ASIA, and Africa. Then my eyes beheld a fearful scene. From each of these countries arose thick, black clouds that were soon joined into one. And throughout this mass, there gleamed a dark RED light by which I saw hordes of armed men, who, moving with the cloud, marched by land and sailed by sea to America, which country was enveloped in the volume of cloud. And I dimly saw these vast armies devastate the whole country, and burn the villages, towns and cities that I beheld springing up. ‘As my ears listened to the thundering of the cannon, clashing of swords, and the shouts and cries of millions in mortal combat... -Wesley Bradshaw, from "George Washington's Vision" ********************************************************** [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Patriot Resource Center: http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/6627/ **********************Live Free or Die!**********************<>< DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
