It was no surprise that a Communist Chinese spy served for almost twenty years in U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein’s San Francisco Office, including while she was the Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Surprisingly, however, the spy was allowed to retire with his pension and without government prosecution. The Chinese spy was Feinstein’s driver who also served as a gofer in her Bay Area office and as her liaison to the Asian-American community. The spy even attended Chinese consulate functions as a stand-in for Senator Feinstein. Feinstein was quick to point out that none of her California office staffers possessed a security clearance, as if this matters when discussing sensitive matters with a staffer nearby--who becomes a near-invisible functionary.

So why should I be surprised to find that the San Francisco Elections Commission has, for the first time in history, appointed a non-citizen who is ineligible to vote as an election official?

More surprising is that Hong Kong native Kelly Wong is an immigrant rights advocate. Wong is said to have arrived in the United States to pursue graduate studies in 2019.

Something seems fishy here as Wong claimed she would also continue her work for the progressive advocacy group Chinese for Affirmative Action—a non-government organization founded in 1969 whose mission is to protect the “civil and political rights of Chinese Americans and to advance multiracial democracy in the United States.” This suspiciously sounds like one of many pro-China front organizations. Wong has worked with the influence group since 2022.

Chinese influence groups seeking citizenship and political power?

WHAT WE DO

Comprising 11 Asian American social justice groups, the Asian Americans for Civil Rights and Equality (AACRE) network focuses on long-term movement building, capacity infrastructure, and leadership support for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders committed to social justice.

Amidst a pandemic and surge in anti-Asian hate, AACRE grassroots groups are supporting and leading marginalized populations including immigrants, refugees, formerly incarcerated individuals, and LGBTQ+ people.

Together, we are advancing an inclusive vision of justice for all communities.

HOW WE DO IT

AACRE leverages the power of its network by developing the relationships, critical connections, and unique strengths that exist among its member groups. Shared capacity work includes access to common facilities, financial management, and administrative support systems. Strategic communication and collaborative efforts include retreats, convenings, information sharing, and joint projects that promote a culture of trust, mutuality, and transformation.

The Visibility Project utilizes powerful photography and personal storytelling narratives that embrace the intersections of queer APAs.

According to her bio, Wong has worked with the United Nations International Organization for Migration, which seems to facilitate and fund illegal migration into the United States.

“Born and raised in Hong Kong, I moved to the US in 2019 and finished a master degree from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy. I have devoted my career to championing immigrant rights and equity and inclusion. Prior to graduate school, I worked closely with victims of trafficking, migrant domestic workers, and refugees in Hong Kong while working at Fair Employment Agency, International Organization for Migration, and UNHCR. I am currently working at Chinese for Affirmative Action, which is the fiscal sponsor of Stop AAPI Hate campaign, to provide legal services and advocate for low‐income AAPI immigrants in San Francisco.”

Bottom line…

Consider how many military-age Chinese men are transgressing our open border under the Biden open borders policy. How many will infiltrate American businesses, including those associated with critical infrastructure?

There is no need to engage in war when Americans are willing to sell out their nation for the proverbial thirty pieces of silver or a sexual fling.

Remember Eric Swalwell, another Bay Area Democrat, and his romp with Chinese operative Fang-Fang. The same Swalwell, a member of the House Intelligence Committee who was defended by liar, leaker, perjurer, and evidence fabricator Adam Schiff, who is now running for the U.S. Senate.

Or foreigners fighting the battle in our Courts, using our own Constitution and laws against us—lawfare.

We are so screwed.
