The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is waging smokeless, unrestricted warfare
against the United States. A key component of this non-kinetic warfare is Chinese crime
syndicates corrupting American civilization from within by poisoning its people with
drugs, social chaos, and political bribery.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP), through its United Works Front Department
(UWFD), works with Chinese organized crime syndicates in establishing marijuana
farms in Maine and other states. The UFWD recruits overseas Chinese and “useful
idiots” in gathering intelligence and influencing public opinion about China. Overseas
Chinese are particularly vulnerable to CCP blandishments because of family ties that
are pulled, often in a threatening or blackmail fashion.

Maine is significant in that approximately 300 of the 600 Chinese-owned marijuana
farms in America are in Maine. Many of the farms are in large Maine homes converted
into indoor marijuana nurseries. Two signs of home conversion are electrical system
upgrades and the blocking of windows to prevent sunlight from upsetting the cannabis
growing cycle. The homes become contaminated with pesticides used in growing
marijuana and mold due to the high temperatures required for marijuana growth. When
the house is up for sale, there is generally no mention made of the mold and pesticides
embedded in the structure.

Many of the Maine homes were purchased under the names of single Chinese men and
women from New York City with cash or with US taxpayer dollars through Quontic
Bank, a New York-based community development financial institution (CDFI) funded by
the US Treasury. The bank promoted the loans in metro New York City in Mandarin
through Chinese-owned WeChat social media. The loans require occupation of the
home by the person borrowing, but were not enforced.

With a population of roughly 1.4 million, Maine’s elections, law enforcement agencies,
and elected officials are easily influenced by relatively small sums of money. Democrat
Maine Governor Janet Mills and the Democrat controlled legislature legalized the
recreational use and growing of marijuana. The legalization opened up legal cover for
crime syndicates to not only sell marijuana but also to grow it. Once the license was
received, restrictions on output were ignored. Legal Maine marijuana growers refer to
the Chinese-owned farm marijuana as “Triad weed.”

Maine produces far more marijuana than it consumes. The surplus is exported to
Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, and other states through crime syndicate
distribution channels.

Political corruption is pervasive in Maine. Vonalee Sides, a 70-year-old town agent for
Staceyville, Maine, population 350, was paid $100,000 by Mervyn Yan to act as a front
for a massive marijuana farm to be built in an abandoned mill in rural Maine. Maine law
requires that to receive a marijuana growing license, the owner of the business must be
a Maine resident. Yan also applied for a Massachusetts license to cultivate cannabis.
Mervyn Yan, a private equity manager based in New York City, while making forays
into the Maine cannabis marketplaces, admitted funneling millions of dollars to three
members of the Biden family on behalf of CEFC, a Chinese state-run energy company
and CCP intelligence front company. CEFC China Energy exists to buy worldwide
influence with its “elite capture” programs and is a significant factor in China’s Belt and
Road Initiative.

The Hudson West III LLC company was a joint venture between Hunter Biden and Yan
to pursue business opportunities. None ever materialized. Hudson West III received a
$5 million nonrecourse loan from CEFC that was not repaid due to a hurried dissolution
of the company in 2018.

Summary
What is happening in Maine is just the tip of unrestricted warfare being waged by the
CCP against America. All states are being poisoned in one form or another. TikTok is
poisoning American culture with anti-US and pro-CCP propaganda.

political corruption. See my podcast with Steve at https://americansecurity.substack.com

/p/dirty-money-hidden-farms-exposing. Chinese crime syndicates are reaping billions

of dollars through the illicit fentanyl and marijuana drug trade. The money is used to buy

politicians, business people, homes, farm land, and social media. Organizations with ties

to the CCP fund many so-called spontaneous protests against Israel and ICE.

Action
1. Follow the money!
2. Identify and prosecute!
3. Recognize that the CCP is waging unrestricted warfare against America and
Western civilization.
4. Ban Chinese ownership of land in America and ban TikTok.
5. Maintain high tariffs against Chinese imports.
6. Develop alliances with countries facing CCP malfeasance.

Peace Through Strength!
