North Dakota farmers were the first ones to object about a CCP company buying farmland right next to Grand Forks AFB. Even when the Biden admin was all for it
The common sense of the people stopped this CCP op
Not local state or federal govt
americanexperiment.org/city-rejects-e…
There were town halls & meetings & billboards telling the people it was no big deal. I saw them with my own eyes
And there were homemade signs objecting & organizing
Eventually the farmers in Grand Forks managed to talk some sense into the city council, the state, & DoD
So far
China and Big Green - 0
North Dakota - 2
So who is the carbon capture firm?

Keep an eye on these two. They’re the Hunter Bidens of the firm
They’ve spent too much money to walk away. They’ll be back
It’s important to re-examine the Grand Forks Fufeng project
It started after Biden was elected, and was initially supported by the Biden Administration
grandforksherald.com/news/local/fuf…
Fufeng makes the offer in Nov 2021
Area farmers immediately object
City council plows ahead
Local residents start a petition for a referendum on the project
Fufeng says it’s not “directly” connected to the CCP
City refuses the referendum
The FBI briefs the city council
- it’s closed to the public
- the FBI had NO CONCERNS about the project RIGHT NEXT TO GRAN FORKS AFB
After being ignored by the city council and not supported by the FBI, residents SUE for the right to a referendum
There were billboards up all over Grand Forks, from all levels of government, that were PRO Fufeng
FUFENG PLEADs with the Biden Administration to please review and approve the Fufeng deal
GOV BURGUM ASKS the fed to review the Fufeng deal
Both ND senators tell the city council to find another company, not Fufeng
Both ND senators ponder a bill, do nothing
A judge rules AGAINST residents who want a referendum
Dept of the Treasury, at the request of Fufeng and the Governor, reviews the deal and asks for more info
FUFENG breaks ground on the project
51 Reps write to the Biden Admin Agricultural Secretary
Biden admin CFIUS agrees to review the Fufeng deal
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION SAYS THE FUFENG DEAL ISNT COVERED BY CFIUS
Meaning the Fufeng deal got a green light from the Biden admin
City officials are STILL going ahead with the Fufeng deal
FINALLY THE USAF SAYS THEY FOUND OUT ABOUT THE BIDEN ADMIN APPROVED PROJECT WHEN THEY READ ABOUT IT AFTER THE PUBLIC OUTCRY
the DoD found out about the Fufeng project from the farmers
AFTER the USAF and DoD weigh in, saying the Grand Forks Fufeng project is a THREAT TO NATIONAL SECURITY….
Then the Biden Administration backs down, and so does the city council
Given what we know now about the influence peddling of the Bidens to China, why was the Biden administration so sanguine about a project that the DoD said posed “A SIGNIFICANT THREAT TO NATIONAL SECURITY”
Is there a Fufeng op in your state?
And remember that the Biden Admin
- FBI
- Dept of Agriculture
- Dept of Treasury
- CFIUS
ALL said the Fufeng deal was fine. Not one of them ran it by DoD
Why is the fed so sanguine about companies like Fufeng?
This is the Fufeng Board and C suite
These are Fufeng’s biggest investors 👀
Fufeng’s North Dakota lobbyist
inforum.com/news/north-dak…
“The key takeaway here is that the executive branch needs to do a better job of understanding and exercising that authority. At the same time, Congress must better supervise the executive branch’s execution of its CFIUS authorities. “
Again. The people stopped it
Why isn’t the Fed providing more information to the states, who are approached directly by these Chinese entities ?
You know what would be interesting? Overlaying a map of US DoD installations over this
Has anyone in DoD looked into this? Are they awake?
@opustestaceum The good people of Montana and North Dakota don’t need to go to Harvard to detect bullshit
@juliew38138 @KyleSeraphin @RealStevefriend @TheChiefNerd grandforksherald.com/news/local/att…
@juliew38138 @KyleSeraphin @RealStevefriend @TheChiefNerd For the city council
One local FBI and two from Mlps (ND doesn’t have its own FO, its covered by Mlps)
No outsiders allowed
@juliew38138 @KyleSeraphin @RealStevefriend @TheChiefNerd “It’s overblown” 🙄
Post script
By North Dakota refusing a permit to carbon capture firm Summit, South Dakota farmers threatened with “imminent domain” may have gotten a reprieve. For now
So in sum
North Dakota says no to Summit
-And saves South Dakota farms
North Dakota says no to Fufeng
-And protects national security
Fargo PD performed heroically to dispatch an Islamic terrorist on 14 July 2023
-saving countless lives
@myusername2017 But feeling very proud of North Dakota spine these days
North Dakota. Americas quiet spine
