North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum’s name is being floated as a potential running mate for 45th President Trump in this year’s election, but Burgum has a history of supporting the Chinese communist colonization of America and of stabbing President Trump in the back at the behest of the corporate media.

Doug Burgum initially supported a communist Chinese company’s plan to build a $700 million corn mill in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Grand Forks, the state’s third-largest city, is just 16 miles from the Grand Forks Air Force Base, where the military formerly stored nuclear weapons.

Burgum called the Chinese effort, which became known as the “Fufeng Project” and included the purchase of American land in North Dakota, a “huge opportunity” for North Dakota and the community of Grand Forks.

“Adding value to our corn and other raw commodities is critical to North Dakota’s long-term economic success, and this value-added project represents a huge opportunity for producers and workers in the Grand Forks area and our entire state,” Gov. Doug Burgum said in 2021, according to a news release published by the City of Grand Forks.

“We’re grateful for the leadership by [Grand Forks] Mayor Bochenski, city and county officials and the Grand Forks Region EDC in moving this important project closer to fruition,” Burgum added.

Despite his early support of the “Fufeng Project,” Burgum flip-flopped on the issue as he ran for the GOP nomination for President, and now, as he jockeys for a possible Trump VP slot, he’s doubling down, and even claiming that he never supported the Fufeng Project, which was officially shut down in 2023 thanks to widespread opposition from concerned North Dakotans and public officials.

In addition to the people of North Dakota, the Fufeng Project was opposed by the United States Air Force and members of Congress from multiple states, who cited national security concerns.

Chinese land purchases in the US, which have raised serious alarms in recent years, are related to the Chinese Communist Party’s Belt and Road Initiative for global economic dominance. Frequently, American lands sought by the communist Chinese are in proximity to military bases and other secure locations, like the Grand Forks Air Force Base, for instance.

Elsewhere, China has begun what resemble full-fledged colonization projects, constructing large-scale Chinese industry and surrounding communities in Africa and South America, among other regions.

As mentioned, Doug Burgum’s name is being floated as a potential vice presidential pick, despite his attempt to challenge Trump for the GOP nomination earlier this year.

At times, Burgum was accused of running in the race in hopes of winning a Trump cabinet position, or even the VP slot, allegations that he has firmly denied.

Since dropping out of the race, Burgum has tried positioning himself as a public Trump supporter, even showing up at Trump’s New York City trial in a showing of support.

But contrary to the pro-Trump updated version of Doug Burgum, not long ago, he was dissing the 45th President at the behest of the corporate media.

In a 2023 interview with NBC’s Chuck Todd, Burgum was asked if he’d “ever do business with Donald Trump,” to which he replied, “I don’t think so.”

“I just think that it’s important that you’re judged by the company you keep and I…” Burgum trailed on.

“You just wouldn’t do business with him?” Todd followed up.

“No, I wouldn’t,” Burgum confirmed.

The open border policies of Joe Biden and his henchman Alejandro Mayorkas have benefited China, among other global bad actors, while wreaking havoc on the United States. 

Under the leadership of Mayorkas and Biden, the United States has seen at least 5.6 million migrant encounters, 2.1 million illegals released into our country, 1.5 million known gotaways, and 250 terrorist watch-list encounters— astronomical numbers that we never saw under President Trump or even Obama.

Under the watch of Biden and Mayorkas, DHS and the federal government fired medical workers during a supposed pandemic. They’ve fired truckers in a supply chain crisis. They’ve fired police officers in a violent crime crisis. They’ve terminated Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy, stopped border wall construction, and restricted the U.S. CBP’s ability to detain, make arrests, and remove illegal aliens during an invasion and fentanyl crisis.

Last month, during a Homeland Security hearing, Rep. Mark Green (R-TN) said that “Chinese Nationals, many of whom are military-aged men” with ties to the Chinese Communist Party, have crossed our Southern border and have been released into the United States.

“We have no idea who these people are, and it’s very likely that China is doing the same thing in the United States using Russia’s template of sending military personnel into Ukraine,” said Green.

From October 2022 through April 2023, nearly 10,000 Chinese migrants were encountered at the border– up 354% from the last fiscal year from October 2021 to September 2022, where less than 2,200 Chinese migrants were encountered.

Chinese nationals that come into our country through our Southern border are granted asylum at a very high rate- 58% to be exact. Compare that to the average of 10% for asylum seekers from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.

China no longer needs to operate intelligence operations abroad when they can do it right here at home. They have full access to our country through the 384,000 acres of farmland they have purchased, the police stations they have established on our soil, and through our Southern border.

While the CCP blatantly disregards American laws and privacy, they also disregard American life. China is the world’s number one producer and trafficker of fentanyl – the number one killer of Americans aged 18-45. They are bringing it across our borders and killing our people.

Fentanyl, combined with a laundry list of other designer drugs, is killing more Americans annually than the entire Vietnam War. 

China has undermined U.S. national security, and now they have undermined U.S. intelligence by using the American recreational drug culture to wage war on our country from the inside out. The days of China being a threat abroad are behind us. The threat is already here, at our Southern border, and in our country.

China is a Foreign Fentanyl Trafficker, and it’s time the United States impose sanctions.

A DeSantis campaign memo written for elite donors and close confidants leaked on Thursday. The memo, dated July 6th, 2023, contains the campaign policy and spending plans. Missing from DeSantis’ China policy is fair, reliable trade. National File previously reported that DeSantis told his globalist elite Silicon Valley donors that he is against tariffs on China.

The leaked China policy of the DeSantis campaign reads, “China is not to be thought of as a superpower but as a desperate power. The chief foreign policy threat to the U.S. s also a domestic policy threat desperate China. He will fight size China’s control over our hemisphere and stop them from spying on our citizens, stealing our technology, and displacing America on the world stage. We do not need them.”

Missing from DeSantis’ China policy is fair trade. Ron DeSantis’s free trade with China is inspired by Paul Ryan. A DeSanits-Ryan free trade policy would be a disaster for America. For starters, CCP farms would invade the American market, forcing many American farms to close. China would then control America’s food much like how it currently controls America’s manufacturing.

National File has reported extensively on DeSantis mega-donor Ken Griffin’s close ties with China. Many political insiders believe that Griffin is angling to be Ron DeSanits’ Treasury Secretary. If this happens, it would not be shocking if Griffin puts a policy in place that would lead to a China One World Digital Currency.

Donald Trump has hit DeSantis’ free trade policy hard. In his last speech in Iowa, Trump pointed out that Ron DeSantis would allow American Farms to fail. Trump is the only presidential candidate that supports fair trade with China.

The facts are clear; a Ron DeSantis presidency would end with China controlling America’s food, making Ron DeSantis arguably worse than Joe Biden.

A new report reveals that the Chinese communist government is working with fellow communists in Cuba to build an anti-American spy base on the island, which is positioned roughly just 90 miles off the coast of Florida.

The Chinese communist spy base o be constructed in Cuba is being referred to as an “eavesdropping facility” and the CCP is reportedly prepared to pay Cuba billions of much-needed dollars for hosting the operation.

According to a Wall Street Journal report that revealed the new spy base, the project is “highly classified” though it has been found out by the US. It’s unclear exactly what the Joe Biden administration is going to do about it, if anything.

The news of the spy base comes as China has been making a dramatic push into Latin America for years now, much in the way that the communist Soviet Union did, but arguably, China’s doing it to far more success.

The CCP’s push into Latin America is coinciding with a massive push into Africa, and is part of China’s “global south” strategy – to create an empire of third-world nations in the southern hemisphere to rise up against the American and Western-dominated power structure that still has massive influence over geopolitics.

The news of the spy base also comes in the wake of reports that Chinese nationals suspected to be spies but claiming to be tourists have been trying to infiltrate US military bases in Alaska. Some of the Chinese nationals have been “apprehended” by US military authorities while trying to enter bases like Fairbanks, Alaska’s Fort Wainwright, the New York Post said in a report published earlier this month.

In addition to their attempts to spy directly on military bases and build “eavesdropping” facilities in Cuba, Chinese nationals linked to the Chinese Communist Party have been said to embed themselves in American universities, the corporate world, etc. to gain intel on the US, both classified and unclassified.

Ken Griffin joined other global elites at the shadowy Bilderberg Conference in Europe this past weekend. The topics discussed at the meeting were reportedly AI, Banking, China, Energy Transition, Europe, Fiscal Challenges, India, Industrial Policy and Trade, NATO, Russia, Transnational Threats, Ukraine, and United States Leadership.

Speculation is building that Griffin is aiming to be Ron DeSantis’ Treasury Secretary if the Governor of Florida is elected president. Griffin supports endless wars, giving billions in American taxpayer money to Ukraine, a globalist economy where factory jobs in America are almost nonexistent, and a strong Chinese Communist economy.

National File previously reported that Griffin’s pull on DeSantis was so strong that after DeSantis gave Tucker Carlson an answer on Ukraine that Mr. Griffin did not approve of, Griffin went down to Florida, and weeks later, DeSantis’ tone on the Ukraine War changed from pro-peace to war hawk.

Griffin has called Trump a three-time loser and many wonder if the reasoning behind Griffin’s attacks on Trump is because Trump has pledged to prevent World War 3 and save America’s economy.

Ron DeSantis is spending his Memorial Day weekend raising money from globalist elite donors at a conference at the Four Seasons in Miami. Rooms for the conference start at about $700 dollars a night.

Laura Loomer is at the conference reporting on it, and tweeted about a potential pay-to-play scheme developing at the conference, writing, “This morning when I was coming down the elevator, DeSantis staffers were headed to the investor breakfast with stacks of about 100 clipboards with packets that say “Invest in Ron DeSantis’s Presidency today”.

All these facts have led many Republican voters to conclude that Ron DeSantis is a globalist in disguise.

Could the Chinese Communist Party and its global influence network be responsible for Tucker Carlson’s ouster from Fox News? Just last year, Rupert Murdoch, the international media mogul who founded Fox News, took a whopping $100 million loan from the CCP-run Bank of China, to fund his continued media ventures. The loan coincided with a much-observed turn in Fox’s coverage, towards a model that’s been called “CNN-lite.”

On March 29th, 2022, Rupert Murdoch, under the banner of his News Corp conglomerate, entered into a massive credit agreement that features mega-loans from multiple banks, including the CCP-run Bank of China. Also involved in the deal are a number of American banks that have been longtime sponsors of anti-American activities. In all, the loan is worth $1.25 billion, with $100,000,000 of it coming from the CCP.

Though the loan deal was made under News Corp, which is separate from Fox Corp, Murdoch’s dealings with the Chinese Communist Party and Fox’s gradual move to the left cannot be ignored, especially when it’s taken into account that in 2022, Murdoch floated the idea of merging Fox Corp and News Corp into one super-conglomerate, a plan that was later aborted when it was determined that it’d be bad for shareholders.

Before his ouster from Fox News, Tucker Carlson, whose audience dwarfed that of all the other shows on the network, took a hardline stance against Communist China and was one of the few cable news hosts willing to broach the subject of COVID-19 and its ties to the Chinese regime, as well as America’s own government, which operates biolabs inside of Communist China.

As a Fox News host, Carlson also covered the Communist Chinese takeover of Brazil, in which the hotly-contested 2022 Brazilian Presidential Election was directly meddled in by the Chinese Communist Party and its vast network of foreign influence operations, a saga that was also closely covered by National File.

In a recent video interview, Carlson blasted Communist China, calling the CCP and its global influence a major “problem” for the United States and the world.

“China is a problem that is very hard for the United States to solve,” Carlson said, before calling out the intentional ceding of global influence and power to the totalitarian state by Western governments and elites.

“By problem, I mean sort of giving hegemony over the world to a country that doesn’t believe anything really that we believe.”

“Our former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright…Got rich effectively making China’s case to the American business community. Many others in our diplomatic core have done the same. That’s a straight-up sell-out. Hollywood sells out. The NBA sells out,” said Carlson.

Hear Tucker Carlson’s comments on Communist China and the Western elites who’ve sold out to it in the video below:

In a statement released on Tuesday, Michigan State Senators Lana Theis, Ed McBroom, Joe Bellino, Dan Lauwers, and Kevin Daley asked federal lawmakers for help in their probe, writing, “We are writing to urge you to use all federal resources available to immediately investigate whether Gotion High-tech Co., Ltd., as registered on the Swiss Stock Exchange, has ties or contracts with foreign countries that have an adversarial relationship with the United States of America, In light of the time sensitivity of this matter, we kindly request that you work to take swift action. Your prompt attention to this issue is greatly appreciated, and we look forward to hearing from you soon.”

The Michigan lawmakers’ statement described Gotion as a company with ” direct ties to the CCP, which presents a national security risk, the plan has come under scrutiny for its secrecy and lack of oversight, which may present environmental and public safety risks as well.”

Gotion recently released a statement praising their work with the Taliban, “The representative of the company thanked the leadership of the Ministry of Mines and Petroleum and asked for an investment in the lithium sector of Afghanistan and said that he wants to invest $10 billion in the Lithium Mines of Afghanistan, which will provide employment for more than 120,000 people directly and one million people indirectly.”

Gotion and Governor Whitmer have yet to comment on the Michigan State Senators letter release.

French protesters took over a BlackRock office in Paris on Thursday. Protests against French President Emmanuel Macron started in March when the government of France proposed to raise the retirement age. BlackRock is one of the largest retirement asset firms in the world. BlackRock has close ties with the Chinese Communist Party.

Hundreds of protesters carrying flares, waving flags, and screaming chants stormed BlackRock’s Paris office location. Protesters occupied the building for around half an hour before dispersing.

Protester Jerome Schmitt, who participated in the Paris BlackRock protest, told French station BFM-TV, “The meaning of this action is quite simple. We went to the headquarters of BlackRock to tell them: the money of workers, for our pensions, they are taking it.”

Another protester told Reuters, “The union action in the historical Centorial building near Paris’ Grand Boulevards area, targeted BlackRock because of its private pension fund activity.”

Following the BlackRock protest, French President Emmanuel Macron activated over 11 thousand riot police across France. Smoke and fire can still be seen across Paris as protesters and riot police continued to clash in the streets of Paris after BlackRock’s storming.

BlackRock has exceptionally close ties with the Chinese Communist Party. BlackRock Chief Executive Officer Larry Fink has repeatedly bragged about BlackRock’s ability to do business with the CCP saying, “We are honored to be in a position in which we can support more Chinese investors access financial markets.” BlackRock is also listed as a partner on the World Economic Forum’s website.

Interestingly on Wednesday night, Frech President Emmanuel Macron tweeted, “I am convinced that China has a major role to play in building peace. This is what I have come to discuss, to move forward on. With President XI Jinping, we will also talk about our businesses, the climate and biodiversity, and food security.”

At a Wednesday U.S. House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus pandemic response, former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield told the subcommittee that U.S. taxpayer funds were likely used to fund the gain of function research that created the Covid-19 Virus. NationalFile previously reported these facts on April 13, 2020.

U.S. Rep. Malliotakis (R-NY) directly asked Redfield about gain of function research at Wednesday’s hearing. “Is it likely that American tax dollars funded the gain-of-function research that created this Virus?” the New York congresswoman asked.

“I think it did not only come from NIH, but from the State Department, USAID, and DOD,” Redfield said. “Remember this pandemic did not start in January at the seafood market. We all know that there were infections all the way back in September [2019].”

At the same hearing, Congressman Brad Wenstrup (R-OH) asked Dr. Redfield about any potential benefit of the program. “Has gain-of-function stopped a pandemic in your opinion?” Wenstrup asked.

“No, in the contrary, I think it probably caused the greatest pandemic our world has seen.” Dr. Redfield replied.

National File reported on April 13, 2020, Covid-19 originated from a lab in Wuhan, China.

EcoHealth Alliance whistleblow Andrew Huff told the Stew Peters Show two months ago that the CIA has known about the true origins of COVID for quite some time. “I think the U.S. government knew about this [covid and its lab leak origins] in October or late September 2019. So by January 2020, the cover-up was already well underway” Huff said on the Stew Peters Show.

In recent weeks the U.S. Energy Department and the FBI have concluded that Covid-19 originated and leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology lab in Wuhan, China. Interestingly the CIA remains undecided about Covid’s origins.

Congressional Republicans have promised more hearings into Covid’s origins and cover-ups. It is unknown if Dr. Anthony Fauci will be subpoenaed or not.

Images are emerging of what the United States government says is a Communist Chinese spy balloon flying over “sensitive” military sites, though the Biden Pentagon admits they’re doing nothing to stop it.

Dismissing the risk of having a Communist Chinese spy balloon hovering over the United States of America, Joe Biden has publicly announced that he has no intention of ordering the spy balloon to be shot down, because it could pose a “risk to [the] safety and security of the people on the ground.”

As of Wednesday night, the spy balloon, which was first noticed on Tuesday, was hovering over the State of Montana, home to some of America’s most sensitive military sites, including those armed with nuclear weapons.

According to the Biden Administration, in leiu of shooting the balloon down, the US is “taking steps” to “protect against foreign intelligence collection of sensitive information,” amidst the Chinese spy venture, and will “continue to monitor the balloon.”

The Chinese spy balloon, which entered the United States over its border with Canada, has shone a light on an increasing border vulnerability for the US, as the nation’s northern neighbor continues opening itself up to the World Economic Forum and their Chinese Communist Party associates.

In recent years, several reports have emerged placing Chinese military leadership in Canada. In some instances, the Canadian military has run drills alongside Communist China’s People’s Liberation Army, a politicized military that is seen as quite possiblly THE top threat to world peace and American sovreignty on the global stage.

As National File has extensively reported, in addition to the subversion of Canada, the Chinese Communist Party and its People’s Liberation Army have used a vast network of globalist influence operations to seize control of vast swaths of America’s government.

Among those linked to the Chinese Communist Party by way of National File’s investigative reporting are members of both political parties, including GOP Rep. Don Bacon, a former Air Force Brigadier General who sits on the House Armed Services Committee and is frequently touted as a heavy hitter in foreign and military policy by the GOP establishment.
