November 10, 2010 — Pentagon and its embedded media covering up Chinese show of force off LA
By Wayne Madsen
China flexed its military muscle Monday evening in the skies west of Los Angeles when a Chinese Navy Jin class ballistic missile nuclear submarine, deployed secretly from its underground home base on the south coast of Hainan island, launched an intercontinental ballistic missile from international waters off the southern California coast. WMR's intelligence sources in Asia, including Japan, say the belief by the military commands in Asia and the intelligence services is that the Chinese decided to demonstrate to the United States its capabilities on the eve of the G-20 Summit in Seoul and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Tokyo, where President Obama is scheduled to attend during his ten-day trip to Asia.
The reported Chinese missile test off Los Angeles came as a double blow to Obama. The day after the missile firing, China's leading credit rating agency, Dagong Global Credit Rating, downgraded sovereign debt rating of the United States to A-plus from AA. The missile demonstration coupled with the downgrading of the United States financial grade represents a military and financial show of force by Beijing to Washington.
The Pentagon spin machine, backed by the media reporters who regularly cover the Defense Department, as well as officials of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), and the U.S. Northern Command, is now spinning various conspiracy theories, including describing the missile plume videotaped by KCBS news helicopter cameraman Gil Leyvas at around 5:00 pm Pacific Standard Time, during the height of evening rush hour, as the condensation trail from a jet aircraft. Other Pentagon-inspired cover stories are that the missile was actually an amateur rocket or an optical illusion.
Experts agree that this was a ballistic missile being fired off of Los Angeles. Pentagon insists it was a jet aircraft or model rocket.
There are no records of a plane in the area having taken off from Los Angeles International Airport or from other airports in the region. The Navy and Air Force have said that they were not conducting any missile tests from submarines, ships, or Vandenberg Air Force Base. The Navy has also ruled out an accidental firing from one of its own submarines.
Missile experts, including those from Jane's in London, say the plume was definitely from a missile, possibly launched from a submarine. WMR has learned that the missile was likely a JL-2 ICBM, which has a range of 7,000 miles, and was fired in a northwesterly direction over the Pacific and away from U.S. territory from a Jin class submarine. The Jin class can carry up to twelve such missiles.
Navy sources have revealed that the missile may have impacted on Chinese territory and that the National Security Agency (NSA) likely posseses intercepts of Chinese telemtry signals during the missile firing and subsequent testing operations.
Japanese and other Asian intelligence agencies believe that a Chinese Jin-class SSBN submarine conducted missile "show of force" in skies west of Los Angeles.
Asian intelligence sources believe the submarine transited from its base on Hainan through South Pacific waters, where U.S. anti-submarine warfare detection capabilities are not as effective as they are in the northern and mid-Pacific, and then transited north to waters off of Los Angeles. The Pentagon, which has spent billions on ballistic missile defense systems, a pet project of former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, is clearly embarrassed over the Chinese show of strength.

The White House also wants to downplay the missile story before President Obama meets with his Chinese counterpart in Seoul and Tokyo. According to Japanese intelligence sources, Beijing has been angry over United States and allied naval exercises in the South China and Yellow Seas, in what China considers its sphere of influence, and the missile firing within the view of people in Southern California was a demonstration that China's navy can also play in waters off the American coast.
For the U.S. Navy, the Chinese show of force is a huge embarrassment, especially for the Navy's Pacific Command in Pearl Harbor, where Japan's December 7, 1941 attack on the fleet at Pearl Harbor remains a sore subject.
In 2002, national security adviser Condoleezza Rice reportedly scolded visiting Chinese General Xiong Guankai, the deputy chief of staff for intelligence of the People's Liberation Army, for remarks he allegedly made in 1995 that China would use nuclear weapons on Los Angeles. Xiong denied he made any such comments but the "spin" on the story helped convince Congress to sink billions of additional dollars into ballistic missile defense, sometimes referred to at "Star Wars II."

The US is losing its military supremacy in the world. This is after losing its lead in many other areas of the world! The US is rapidly moving toward the reality of "Brazil of the North"! Only it will be Spanish speaking not Portuguese!

Thank you for cutting through the propaganda. My first suspicion was a Chinese sub. Coupled with the recent surfacing next to the USS Kitty Hawk, it's a no brainer. Residents of California know what a missile looks like. How many did they see when Vandenberg AFB was testing missiles? You don't forget that. Contrails usually come from a two engine type system, and they have a totally different shape. The contrail in the photo came from a single engine.

I want to be bizarre.. K? Pretty sure this, could have been (that), satisfied that it was most likely, and "experts" agree…
I want to clear this up. But I can't! HEY. I'm honest.. still.
My theory deserves no less credit than all the others.. hundreds of billions of dollars of satellite tech, ground related tech, Hi salried techs running clandestine hi tech security R&D… and "we" somehow failed to detect a "ghost" launch of a "something"…no detection or satellite pix – nothing…??? See. I was one of the American idiots who believe that our Almighty America had to have had a Wall Street backup hidden someplace in America at the time of 9/11. Well.. imagine my horror and trauma when I discovered otherwise. Same goes for this "THING." A massive, rare hemispherical atmospheric temp and moisture inversion that radically deflcted all visible sunlight in a prismatic-type illusion making us believe that we were seeing a possible "launch" or "flying vehicle" when in fact the "object" smoke from a large, ocean going ship's BBQ. TY.

This is the usual make believe stuff that Wayne Madsen foists on his readers. Madsen is NOT in touch with the upper echelons of the world’s intelligence community who are just dying to tell him everything they know. He may be a disinformation agent working for the NSA, however. You know what they say: once in the NSA always in the NSA. Either way, give this guy a wide berth. He’s a lot like David Booth, the creator of Sorcha Faal at WhatDoesItMean. com.

saw an old retired leu. colonel interviewed on TV once who was asked what he thought about a certain military incident (fighter jet lost in colorado rockies w no transponder signal) standing there in his front yard in shorts & flip flops he says, "Well, all I know is, whatever the government says it is – that aint it."

Look! It's a bird, it's a plane, it's . . . You can tell it's a bird if you get something in your eye. And everybody knows what a plane looks like. But, likewise, if it looks like an ICBM, goes off into orbit like an ICBM, . . . well, each can deside how it could affect their own lives.
Personally I like to be prepared for just about anything. It's best to be out of debt, live within your means, eat healthy, don't smoke, drink, or do drugs, and I have never believed I needed the government to tell me what I should do. But a wise man told me that if there is ever a World War III, WW4 will be faught with rocks. I'm thinking of "going green" and redoing the landscaping to include a big rock garden.
Yes, I am retired military, and your WMR report is right on. Thanx.

Quite an achievement, popping up to an aircaft-carrier which was decommissiond last year (2009). This story was first printed in 2007.

What's wrong with telling the "people" about China's behavior? The people created this monster by purchasing their products. It's about empowering individuals to make purchasing choices in their best interests. I for one will not buy PRC products if at all possible. US consumers created this mess…not Jews or anyone else. Take responsibility for your actions and stop shifting the blame.

Thank you Wayne Madsen for bringing this important information to the American and world public. You truly deserve a lot of credit for the good journalistic work that you do.
Its a real tragedy that the so-called "newspaper of record the NY Times prints "all the news thats fit to print" according to the White House, Pentagon, and CIA.
Great work that you are doing.

Our beautiful america, the shinning city on the hill is no more. We have fallen into a socialist facist nanny state that is ruled by incompetent republicrats. If we let capitolism rule, quit or foreign military adventures and call all our troops home. Close our borders, legalize drugs. End the fed and quit protecting greedy bankers and elitists. Then maybe we will surivive and possibly thrive in the future. The chance of that happening are slim and none. So prepare for war, social unrest, collapsing economy and dollar. and the collapse of soceity. In other words we are at the beginning of the Dark Ages 2. We had our chance and we failed
