A Covert Chinese Lab Is Operating in Las Vegas and "Sickening" Nearby Americans
Several people who stayed at the Las Vegas home apparently doubling as an illegal Chinese biolab became sick after their visit, with two people becoming "deathly ill" a few days after entering the home's garage, according to documents reviewed by Las Vegas journalist David Charns. And that's just the beginning of today's updates. We've also learned more about how investigators believe the equipment ended up at that home, the relationship between the property manager, Ori Solomon, and the Chinese scientist charged with running the lab, Jia Bei Zhu. Federal gun charges have now been filed against Ori Solomon, the man serving as property manager for the home. Solomon, 55, appears to have lived in the Las Vegas area for more than a decade, according to public records, but the complaint filed Monday evening states that he's currently in the United States on a Non-Immigrant Visa (E-2) that expires in May, 2026, "which precludes him from owning or possessing a firearm per 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(5)(B)." ... Zhu is still in frequent contact with his girlfriend/wife/baby mama, Zhaoyan Wang, who is also facing federal charges but fled to China with their baby in 2023, contacting her 3,524 times in January, per the 8 News Now report. Investigators also believe that Wang has had access to video surveillance on the property.
More from JusttheNews:
I don't know if this is true -- but it's plausible.
An illegal biolab in California raided by the FBI in 2023 and a separate hazardous lab inside a Las Vegas garage searched by the bureau this weekend are both tied to a CCP-linked Chinese national currently awaiting trial for fraud, false statements, and the adulteration of medical devices, according to court filings, police officials and members of Congress. Jia Bei Zhu was arrested in 2023 on allegations he was running an illegal biological laboratory in Reedley, Calif. On Saturday, the FBI and local police raided a similar biolab in Vegas, arresting the home's property manager, Ori Salomon (also spelled Solomon). Police and lawmakers say the two labs are closely connected. "An illegal bio lab was just raided in Vegas" and "it is directly linked to the secret Chinese lab found in California in 2023, which was oozing with E. Coli, HIV, and Malaria," Rep. Kevin Kiley, R-Calif., tweeted on Tuesday. "The lab just raided in Vegas was operated by the same LLC and same Chinese nationals as the one discovered in Reedley," Kiley said in a House floor speech. "Now we know there was at least one other such lab, but we still don't know how many others." ... Congressional investigators allege that Zhu (also known by the aliases of Jesse Zhu, Qiang He, and David He) had significant connections to the Chinese Communist Party apparatus and allege he ran an illegal laboratory in California that housed approximately 20 types of infectious disease samples -- including HIV, Tuberculosis, and the deadliest known form of Malaria. It also allegedly sold oft-counterfeit or Chinese-origin COVID-19 tests without a proper permit, the investigators said.
... The filings also demonstrate the DOJ's concerns that the bail deal repeatedly proposed by Zhu is actually a scheme to help him flee to China, which is where Wang jetted off to with their child shortly after Zhu was raided a few years ago.
... The prosecutor said that "this company, David Destiny Discovery, is currently the owner on ... a house in Las Vegas valued at approximately $800,000" and two condos in Las Vegas that together are worth approximately $800,000." Barton said that Zhu and Wang "are both listed as principals or managing members of this David Destiny Discovery, so the Government believes they control these properties and assets." Barton argued that "the Government believes this shows that He has control over these assets, even though they're in the name of David Destiny Discovery" and thus that it was a "lie" when Zhu allegedly claimed in his pretrial services report to only having $10,000 to $20,000 in assets." Zhu's lawyer filed an April 2024 motion pushing the court to review his client's detention, stating that "the defendant is a Chinese citizen with a Chinese passport and lives in a house in Las Vegas, Nevada that is owned by David Destiny Discovery" and that "Ms. Wang states in her declaration that David Destiny Discovery, LLC, invests in real estate with money from her family in China."

It's crazy people have conflated "biological laboratory" with "infectious disease/bioweapon lab". 99% of "biolabs" are just... Science labs. For biology. Lots of high schools and every university has "biolabs".
Real? Or just politicking early for the mid terms? Start pushing that foreign invaders scary stuff.
Not sure what you mean about mid terms as both sides recognize the dangers of China. Trump has already committed to major increases in defense spending that will lead to deficit spending.

It is widely believed that China is spreading citrus greening disease around the world, now including FLA, as a form of biological warfare. There is no proof, so not a lot of discussion, but it came from China and is devastating the Citrus industry world wide.
There are other cases of Chinese caught in the act of carrying pathogens around the world, but I don't think any others have spread so much damage.

Nothing from Homan and Miller on down has signaled that they're having no presence in sanctuary cities without direct invitation.
There's an ICE office in St. Paul. Are they going to abandon it?
Meanwhile, his admin just announced that all appeals on immigration are default denied.

At a Chinese U, there's no woke crap to deal with, no disruptive students are tolerated, and the neighborhood around the U isn't usually an urban killzone.
I read that there are 37 Chinese U's teaching RE chemistry. In the USA: one. I look at authors on STEM research papers, and I see a lot of Chinese. Don't underestimate how smart those folks are.

Don't store your lunch in the specimen refrigerator.
Put a label on every specimen container regardless of what it is.
Don't ingest laboratory reagents no matter how tasty they might smell.
Don't bring incredibly lethal biological agents home with you in a fucking dixie cup covered with a paper towel and a rubber band.

I have long speculated that so many Chinese are learning English so that they can use it to rule their eventual worldwide empire.

I got hired to help out a tech company in CA that had hired a Chinese, and he spent a couple years replacing the entire staff with Chinese. They were making no progress and the company got sold and then had to do a big demo and the new owners realized they had no capability. So they hired me for a quick fix to see what was wrong.
These Chinese engineers and techs were all fucking chicken farmers who somehow had degrees and were making 6 figures in CA covering for each other. It was a bloody mess. I unraveled all this in about a week, got the demo to work, and suggested to new President that he fire every single one of the Chinese engineers and techs and start over.
This was a small company, but I have worked with Chinese and Indians in several large companies where they really just cover for their incompetence better. It is not that they are stupid or worse than Europeans, but (a) their degrees are often fake, (b) their experience is very shallow. They come to West and do not know how things really work. and (c) they are tribal as fuck and that is poison to a corporation. They cover for each other and fake competence and (pixy limit)

Don't overestimate them either. They churn out double, triple, quadruple-dipped papers. They flat out plagiarize work from years ago. They steal shit from previous collaborations one of them worked on, then present it as their own with a 100% Chinese group.
And whatever isn't stolen is usually laughably incorrect.

I have been following this closely since the 90s, (visiting China in 90s and realizing we had a problem)
To me, the Hainan Island incident was war. It was obvious beforehand, but that was a milestone.
Does anyone remember Idiot Bush going to China and reviewing the troops -- one asshole gave him a warface as he walked by. This is a big deal, as it is evidence that (a) the military sees the US as an enemy. The enemy. The sacrifice all to kill, enemy. and (b) he knew he would not get in trouble for it.
The image was in the papers, but I can find no evidence of it on internet -- it is a stunning photo and extremely troubling. That was all the proof you need. If they are raising and training their military to see us as with that much hate, well you can't undue that. Their entire population is brainwashed to think that the US must be destroyed and each generation it only grows until there is war. I am serious, this kind of cultural shift is a big problem and instead of reacting, we handed them our market and tech and institutions and let them (pixy limit

If it turns out to be the world's biggest attempt to turn a half-million foreign spies into double agents....
Posted by: Warai-otoko

I hired a Chinese Engineer in the early 90s, and he went back to visit China (long story short...) upon return he reported that he was asked to spy for China, under threat that his family might lose their Beijing housing. He was interviewed upon landing to see where he worked, and then had to report a few days later to speak to specialist in the field and asked to "help out Chinese companies with technology."
If they were doing that in the early 90s (i think around 91), imagine what they are doing today.

This isn't even like the crop pathogen cases where the PRC often uses coerced people to smuggle them - even if they were coerced, that's not an excuse on something of this magnitude.

What CONCEIVABLE reason could a known Chinese CCP agent have for setting up a "biolab" filled with communicable diseases in the US?
Twice.
This is an act of war, worse than Pearl Harbor, worse than crossing the Maginot Line, worse than the Battle of Bunker Hill -- this is China trying to decimate the American civilian population.
In a sane world, the U.S. should declare war on CHina, impose 200% tariffs on all Chinese goods, and gear up for battle.
But we know that an't gonna happen.
But doubling, tripling, quadrupling tariffs on China, and letting them know why, is a good place to start.

I made sure he never worked on anything high tech at the company, but then he left to go work for Brinks Security.
When I worked at other companies (outside DC and in Si Valley) I saw several Chinese engineers with working for our companies, but they had Chinese language business cards. At an offsite one time I saw them showing each other their cards. It was terrifying. I think China made it sound very innocuous - a way to pick up a couple extra bucks, and the Engineers thought it was cute. Not corporate espionage, just a side hustle. That was the '00s

Of course Kemp knew about it. As did AG Carr and SoS Ratshitburger. And Kemp's GBI head at the time, Vic Reynolds got a judgeship out of the deal. Kemp is a thorough going WEF Chicom asshole piece of shit as are the other top elected GA officials with the exception of Burt Jones, the LTG. Burt was also prosecuted along with Trump's other GA electors by Fani Willis and the whole GA Senator Perdue testimony that Kemp knew about the fraud and covered it up came from being interrogated by Nathan Sweetdick Wade.
Ace should do a story on that testimony alone that came out in the Trump elector's grand jury cases.

Their military is a fucking joke. Size means nothing. Who cares if they build a thousand ships if they're hot garbage, half of them sink, half of them break, and the other half defects because the crew is as sick of their bullshit as we are? Who cares if their Army has a billion men if they only got a million guns and a thousand bullets? Russia's demonstrated how far Meat Wall gets you these days, and that's against a plucky little kleptocracy with a borrowed military and a permanent hangover. The fuck are they going to do against the world's only actual remaining superpower with zero allies and a national reputation built 75% on lies and absurdities? You can't beat America with Chinesium in open battle. They'll kick our asses all day long in the game of backstabbing and fraud and counterfeiting, sure, I'll give them that.

I shit you not, half the incoming students had to be Chinese. As in, " just arrived from China" Chinese. As in, difficult to communicate with not because of an accent, but because they barely spoke English.
From an exchange during my first semester seminar:
Professor: "Lets.look at figure 3 in the paper. What does this finding suggest? Jie, what do you think?
Jie; *haltingly reads the title of figure 3*
Professor: and what does that suggest to you, Jie?
Jie: * haltingly reads title of figure 3 again*
Professor: ok, moving on.
Now I wasn't the brightest grad student ever, and one ones nominating me for Nobel prizes, but this was shocking to me at the time. Why would you let people in who can barely communicate with you? Are there no American students as smart as Jie? Is he that much of a catch that we had to import him?

I trusted my father from my birth to the night he died to tell me the truth. I argued with him over the internment camps in college. On the day of 9/11 I called him and told him I understand now.

So, what happened?

Confucius taught that knife and forks were violent instruments. Also they began more cooking with chopsticks and just used them to eat instead of having extra utensils. Are the 2 most prominent explanations I have heard.

Confucius was kind of a dick, wasn’t he?

Maybe he's getting something out of it from China in return. You don't know.

China used spoons in the Shang dynasty 1200 BC. And forks in ancient China as much as 4000 years ago.

I had a class on China my freshman year in college, and we read the Analects of Confucius. Kinda stupid if you ask me.

I hope the lady is found. But do you realize how many kidnapping there are in a year, most of them by organized foreign criminals?

I try to take my time to formulate responses to you since you take time form your responses to me, you know.
I wasn't done thinking!
But in that case, it may be a case of the film having its cake and eating it too. Soon-hee destroys Uncle's porn collection because it's demeaning while the film really does glory in the sight of two naked women scissoring.
Is it the fantastical elements she objects to? The explicit subjugation of the female subjects and women loving each other is escape from that?

Late but feel free to move to webzone if you need to.
I think the brutality and exploitation made one of the women frigid, flesh like cold fowl I think was the phrase. The lesbian sex ignited her passion, not because she didn't know about woman love (I'm SURE the porn books she had to read talked about that) but because she FELT something with her handmaid.
I think she burned the books because of their association in her mind and history and her mother's death.

That is such an amazing piece of literature. I think CBD recommended it to me a few years ago.

Outstanding story! I read it once and went back for a reread but I couldn't finish it -- the ending was just to experience a second time.
