In 2018, Oklahoma legalized the medical use of marijuana after a statewide referendum passed with 57% of the vote. Since then, there has been an unprecedented number of illegal operations, grow farms, and dispensaries in the state, breaking records, completely unseen before.
00:00:59.000What we've discovered here was a series of clandestine foreign actors collaborating on United States soil in the realms of drugs, human trafficking, murder, espionage, and it's not the plot of a Mission Impossible movie.
00:01:13.000Fortunately, everyone's least favorite Scientologist is nowhere to be found.
00:01:17.000What you're about to see is a true story of how international organized crime connected to one of the most powerful governments in the world, that's foreshadowing, has taken over middle america and how it threatens to do
00:01:31.000the same across the entire united states
00:01:37.000so in 2018 oklahoma legalized the medical use of marijuana
00:02:09.000after a statewide referendum passed with 57 of the vote
00:02:16.000This piece has nothing to do with whether you're against cannabis legalization, whether you're for it, whether you partake or are Mennonite.
00:02:24.000This is about the unintended or fully intended fallout as it relates to American landowners, taxpayers, and the Communist Chinese government.
00:05:59.000As it turns out, the only thing that these Chinese nationals like more than the marijuana industry in the United States is Hollywood movie posters.
00:06:25.000And if you didn't know about this, there's actually a story out there about this character and the race and gender swap.
00:06:34.000As a thought experiment, watch Star Wars again and tell me the Empire is not literally exactly the same as the Chinese government.
00:06:42.000And to the surprise of absolutely no one in the history of Earth ever, frequently, These Chinese nationals are involved in, wait for it, highly illegal activity focused primarily on the black market.
00:06:55.000The Chinese involvement in the marijuana industry is so extensive.
00:07:00.000that officials note, it's actually more surprising if you encounter an illegal operation
00:07:05.000without connections to China. Of the 800 farms shut down from 2021 to 2023, 75 percent were linked
00:07:14.000directly to China. Here's Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics spokesperson Mark Woodward talking
00:07:20.000with us exclusively, outlining the specific practices that Chinese crime organizations,
00:07:26.000you've heard of the triads, how they infiltrate the industry. You would look over a fence and
00:07:30.000it's not two or three local guys growing marijuana like we've seen for the first couple of years.
00:07:35.000It would be 50 what would appear to be Asian Chinese workers, which is not a problem as long as they're not, you know, violating any laws.
00:07:45.000When we would start getting calls from law enforcement out of state saying that we just intercepted a truckload of marijuana, the driver says it came off of so-and-so farm in Oklahoma, and we would start investigating that farm.
00:08:00.000Sure enough, it was one of these Chinese-operated farms where all the workers were Chinese, but yet the owner is listed as a certain person, and it turns out that person is a secretary in a law office.
00:08:12.000So you're kind of going, okay, what's going on here?
00:08:15.000And so we started looking into what's behind the ownership?
00:08:20.000And what we started to realize, and one of the things that was written into Oklahoma's law that's fairly unique, it said 75% of your ownership Before we get to the real crimes, this one's just kind of annoying.
00:09:03.000Yeah, that's exemplified by the quadruple murder of four Chinese workers on a marijuana farm in Kingfisher County, Oklahoma in November 2022.
00:09:11.000A search is ongoing for a quadruple murder suspect in Kingfisher County.
00:09:16.000Four bodies were found last night at a 10-acre marijuana grow farm as another person is hospitalized with injuries.
00:09:24.000Law enforcement's deployed massive resources in that search for the alleged attacker.
00:09:28.000The suspect, who was eventually apprehended in Florida, was a 45-year-old male named Chen Wu with the most predictable mugshot ever.
00:09:37.000He showed up on the farm demanding he immediately be paid $300,000 as repayment for his investment in the operation.
00:09:46.000I've got to be very careful because it's still under investigation.
00:09:50.000But from what we can gather, this Chinese individual male showed up at the farm, was demanding money that he felt he and or others maybe in an investment group were owed and had orders that if they don't pay, they're going to be killed because these are just workers.
00:10:09.000And when they said, we don't have the money, he started shooting them one at a time.
00:10:13.000Ended up killing four of them, a fifth person escaped and managed to notify authorities.
00:10:18.000Most of the time, though, they will not leave a witness.
00:10:21.000Like a communist Chinese Warren Buffett.
00:10:24.000Now he's been charged with four counts of first degree murder and one count assault and battery with a deadly weapon, which when you think about it, that's the four counts of murder.
00:10:35.000Really should tie that up with a bow, but we'll toss in assault and battery while we're at it.
00:10:40.000Now in a twist turn of fate, the survivor from Wu's murder spree actually ended up
00:10:46.000at the same Oklahoma jail where Wu was being held.
00:10:51.000And we were actually able to talk with Ken Thompson, a lieutenant at the Kingfisher County Sheriff's Office,
00:10:57.000to hear a little bit more about this specific case.
00:11:00.000Myself and another deputy actually went down to Florida, to Miami-Dade and picked up the shooter
00:11:18.000Of course, we knew going out that he said that he didn't want to come back to Oklahoma.
00:11:23.000He'd be dead if he come back to Oklahoma.
00:11:25.000And it was really weird because we got, I mean, he was cordial the whole time.
00:11:32.000He didn't speak a lot of English, but, but, but, you know, we got him out, we got him out for the bathroom and we fed him on the way back and stuff like that.
00:12:34.000According to Mr. Woodward of the OBN, they've actually become quite common all over the state.
00:12:40.000We've seen others on not quite that scale, but certainly homicides have been something that we've seen a lot of linked to marijuana since 2020 when we really saw the black market migrate to our state.
00:12:54.000Now when we asked the same local grower, we showed you earlier why local authorities were so powerless to stop That's the funniest thing we've heard yet.
00:13:41.000And the Kingfisher County Sheriff's Department was really pretty helpful with us and our investigation, so thanks to them.
00:13:48.000However, it does seem that nearly every week There's a report of a new grow operation being raided, so clearly there's a problem going on.
00:13:56.000Our team here, supported by viewers like you, by the way, thank you, actually visited the site of one of these illegal grow operations that was shut down in Carter County, Oklahoma in December 2023.
00:14:08.000All right, we are out here just north of Hilton, Oklahoma.
00:14:10.000That's about halfway between the border and Oklahoma City at the site of a shutdown illicit marijuana farm that was taken down by Last month and on the property they found over 11,000 plants which is about 300 pounds of marijuana.
00:14:27.000Now this is 46-year-old Jimmy Dang that was arrested in connection with this.
00:14:32.000Oftentimes what happens, what he's pending charges for, is something called straw ownership where the Now, there's a lot of problems here, and I don't say this lightly.
00:14:53.000These people are responsible for things like sex trafficking, human trafficking, illegal narcotic sale across state borders, whatever.
00:15:02.000They're finding fentanyl, they're finding ketamine, murder in Kingfisher County, right?
00:15:07.000Maybe the worst thing, not the worst thing, but something that's really going to get at you is this man just left a million dogs out here abandoned, right?
00:15:16.000Like this little guy, completely abandoned.
00:15:18.000And I mean, it's not a human, but still who's going to take care of him?
00:15:22.000Clearly there was no responsibility there.
00:15:27.000And I mean, it is a dog, but this shows you how little these people care because Here's mama's puppy right here, completely dead because some idiot decided he wanted to run drugs.
00:15:43.000By the way, all the references are available in the description or at lodderworthcreditor.com, and I encourage you to check them out.
00:15:49.000So now that you know Middle America is being taken over by murderous international crime organizations of largely people small in stature, where are they all coming from?
00:16:06.000So to set the stage here, in December 2023, the southern border of the United States saw
00:16:16.000an all-time record of 302,000 known crossings.
00:16:23.000And while a bulk of those are from places like Central America, you've got Venezuela, a not-so-insignificant number are coming from, let's say, China.
00:17:17.000These people are not dreamers, just trying to get here, seeking a better life, to get a glimpse of the Statue of Liberty.
00:17:23.000A lot of these Chinese migrants, they arrive here in the United States with extensive debt, either owed to smugglers that helped them reach the United States, or to parties back in China with connections, very often, directly to the Communist Chinese government.
00:17:36.000And it makes them a perfect target for the organized crime leaders We have absolutely intercepted individuals that have come straight to Oklahoma from China across the border that have been smuggled in here.
00:17:53.000And that's why so much of them are willing to work in horrible conditions because, and that's where they get into the labor traffic, because many of them are now paying off this debt, quote unquote.
00:18:03.000They're constantly reminded, remember, we smuggled you into this country, we put up a You know, we put a lot on the line for you.
00:19:10.000People who want to teach that America is uniquely responsible for the evil of slavery historically as though it doesn't exist across the globe, and it's still happening today, in the United States, in these situations, It's because of the fact that people who are paid to represent us don't enforce their own laws.
00:19:28.000Now, we also spoke with the Oklahoma junior senator, Mark Wayne Mullen, or at least his office, and they confirmed that there is a significant concern regarding the influx of Chinese migrants at the border.
00:19:54.000Because Texas, of course, is always under the gun.
00:19:57.000Now, of course, these Chinese migrants slash often slaves or indentured servants If your white guilt gets the better of you, they don't always come directly through the border.
00:20:09.000Oftentimes, they're actively recruited from other cities, like Los Angeles or New York.
00:20:14.000And after a little digging, we were actually able to locate some of these job postings.
00:20:19.000Here are a couple of examples of the recruitment ads luring Chinese workers to Oklahoma.
00:20:25.000Farm recruitment requires diligence, quickness, and no fuss.
00:20:29.000Experienced people will be given priority.
00:22:33.000Two, they clearly had absolutely no idea what we were talking about due to the severe, almost comical Chinese accent, which, by the way, you've noticed I haven't done once here, which is really hard because I want to do it and these people are criminals.
00:22:47.000Now, one reason they might not have wanted white Americans to know what they were up to is, you know, these recruiting agencies are basically sending workers into slave labor camps.
00:22:59.000Our source on the ground, and Mr. Woodward at OBN, both spoke on this.
00:23:04.000With the Chinese people, it's a few that run everything, and everyone else is living very, very far by.
00:23:10.000You know, where I live, where I've been consulting, they had 60 greenhouses, and they couldn't afford a family for a
00:24:24.000But they won't complain, and so we can't oftentimes file human trafficking or labor trafficking on them.
00:24:29.000But yes, absolutely, it's slave labor for these farms.
00:24:32.000And if that isn't bad enough, the trafficking operations, of course, aren't just limited to farm workers.
00:24:37.000Anytime you have human trafficking, it involves sex trafficking.
00:24:43.000Oklahoma law enforcement often finds these brothels in more upscale neighborhoods throughout the state.
00:24:49.000You get into the sex trafficking too, though, because there's also a lot of Asian females, specifically China and Japanese.
00:24:56.000that were brought into this to cater to these workers.
00:24:59.000And so we have identified underground Asian brothels that operated out of residential locations in Oklahoma, where through these underground websites, they bring in workers from, and not typically the marijuana workers themselves, but more the managers and administrators and people with real money.
00:25:18.000They would come into these houses in multi-million dollar neighborhoods.
00:25:23.000For prostitution and ketamine, we're intercepting a lot of ketamine, which is really big in the Chinese culture.
00:25:30.000We've seized more ketamine since Oklahoma legalized marijuana than we had in my previous 28 years with our agency, and it's because of that Chinese culture.
00:25:39.000So these brothels where there's ketamine trafficking and sex trafficking, and we talked to some of those women when we serve search warrants, and they absolutely said, we are victims.
00:25:48.000We are not willing participants, and we have been able to get some of those females Now, this may come as a surprise.
00:25:56.000The world of international narcotics and sex trafficking isn't all glitz and glamour.
00:26:03.000It does come with some hoops to jump through.
00:26:06.000Financial, legal, and a lot of these prospective entrepreneurs do so.
00:26:11.000Now, here we have Bill Jones, the California Department of Cannabis Control's Chief of Law Enforcement.
00:27:51.000We were lucky enough to speak with Mr. Robinson and learn a little more about how Quantic initially appeared on his radar.
00:27:59.000Yeah, so I think this all really started in August when the Daily Caller News Foundation reported on a leaked memo.
00:28:06.000It was really just a picture that someone took of an email that had circulated amongst Border Patrol, Department of Homeland Security, that said that there were 270 or more illegal Chinese marijuana growing facilities operating in the state of Maine.
00:28:23.000When the memo came out, it didn't have any details about where these properties might be.
00:28:28.000But I communicated with Jenny Tare, the reporter who broke that memo, and she actually came up here to do some first-hand investigating.
00:28:36.000And we took the properties that were on, I guess, a partial list that she got, maybe 12 different addresses.
00:28:45.000And we pulled the deed information from the county registry office just to see who the property belonged to.
00:28:51.000And one thing we noticed based on looking at those was that the same bank was popping up over and over again.
00:29:52.000This property in Howe has three massive storage facilities that would make for perfect grow houses.
00:29:59.000And this ranch house in Stroud which doesn't stand out other than the fact that the buyer of the property comes from Queens, New York.
00:30:08.000Remember earlier when Mark Woodward from the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics told us that most of the heads of these illegal bros came from Flushing, New York?
00:30:17.000Flushing, in a neighborhood where... WHERE IS IT?!
00:30:24.000The same bank that lent money to illegal marijuana growers in Maine also lent to borrowers in Oklahoma, including those from Flushing, Queens, the hub of China's illegal weed empire in the United States.
00:30:35.000Now, that's compelling, I would say, but that's me, Mr. Traditional.
00:31:05.000Nearly all of Quantics Oklahoma mortgages with Chinese names were signed off by Wang or Ho, again with Wang appearing on most of them.
00:31:17.000Wang is a loan officer at Quantics Astoria headquarters.
00:31:22.000Now, she earned her master's degree in public affairs at the University of Texas, but attended undergraduate at Zhejiang, hope I'm saying that correctly, but I don't care, University in Hangzhou, a city on the eastern coast of her native China.
00:31:37.000Zhejiang University, close enough like most in China, of course, has strong, if not direct, ties to the Chinese Communist Party.
00:31:47.000In 2004, the China's People Liberation Army, right, the PLA, posted an ad specifically at the university on their website.
00:31:54.000To recruit people for Unit 61398, a hacking and espionage arm of said PLA.
00:32:01.000In 2017, visiting scholars from the university formed a communist party cell at UC San Diego to discuss Xi Jinping's speeches.
00:32:11.000And it was hard to distinguish them from other communist groups at said university.
00:32:35.000Quantic's name is now appearing on mortgages in Oklahoma that are suspected of being illicit marijuana operations and unfortunately your name and Mr. Ho's name, Stephen Ho's name is on a lot of these mortgages and I was just wondering if you knew that that was the case?
00:32:55.000I'm going to have to send you to my young person at the firm and you can speak to her about this.
00:33:06.000And again, we're not saying that this has anything to do with you necessarily.
00:33:09.000We just, we would really like to speak with someone at your bank because we want to know kind of what the process is that's letting so many... Let me give you her name.
00:33:42.000Now we should have seen that coming, considering that it was all Supervisor Hangup.
00:33:49.000But that's a far cry from the reaction she had when she spoke to Mr. Robinson in Maine a few days prior to our phone call.
00:33:58.000Those, according to my investigation, those properties are actually being used as illegal marijuana growing operations controlled by Chinese foreign nationals.
00:34:07.000I'm wondering if you had any knowledge of that when you were originating the loans.
00:34:18.000Uh, yeah, yeah, they're actually on a Department of Homeland Security list flagged as, uh, controlled by, uh, Asian transnational organized crime.
00:34:43.000Now, of course, they never got back to us.
00:34:45.000They passed us off to the Chief Empowerment Officer, who's a patsy for the higher-ups.
00:34:51.000So once these operators set up shop in Oklahoma, they need help getting their business off the ground.
00:34:57.000And to do so, they have to meet A series of industry regulations.
00:35:02.000So, according to Oklahoma law, licenses are available for Oklahoma residents who are at least 25 years old.
00:35:09.000Applicants must provide documents establishing the applicant and the members, managers and board members, if applicable.
00:35:16.000And 75% of the commercial applicant's ownership interests are Oklahoma residents, as required in the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana and Patient Protection Act.
00:35:30.000At least those Chinese slaves are keeping these patients medicated.
00:35:33.000That last part, by the way, is crucial.
00:35:36.00075% of the ownership must be Oklahoma residents.
00:35:41.000So how do Chinese nationals operating on behalf of crime syndicates, who presumably are not Oklahoman citizens, And you had these entities, like I said, these law firms that would step up and say, don't worry about your 75% owner.
00:36:00.000You pay us a fee, we're going to get you a license and that will include, we will find somebody to put down as your 75% owner.
00:36:06.000So on the surface, you're going to look legit.
00:36:09.000So when they do a background, because that's all you need to get a license in Oklahoma, pay $2,500 and pass the background, which is no felony in five years.
00:36:17.000And so they made sure that the person on the license as the 75% primary owner is squeaky clean.
00:36:22.000One such person who jumped out on our radar was a consulting officer out of Oklahoma City called Ma Ma Ma.
00:36:37.000A former Oklahoma grower writing to us on the condition of anonymity actually outlined the work that MaMaMa does.
00:36:45.000Something else I have learned by doing business with the Chinese is that they all, or at least the ones I've interacted with, are connected with a Chinese lawyer whose offices occupy an entire floor in a high-rise office building in downtown Oklahoma City.
00:38:23.000By Stephen Ho, the same loan agent attached to multiple property purchases of weed farms in Maine and suspected weed operations in Oklahoma.
00:38:31.000Further investigation into Fu, English name, also revealed that she is a certified notary public.
00:38:39.000So on October 24th, 2023, Fu notarized a groundwater usage permit application for JN Operations and owner Shu Qi Ni.
00:38:50.000On December 24th, Shu was arrested and charged with...
00:38:54.000Illegal cultivation and drug trafficking.
00:38:57.000Now, looking into Jane Operation's LLC, we also found that it was filed for by an Oklahoma attorney named Matt Stacey.
00:39:06.000Stacey, among other things, is a decorated veteran, a state senate candidate, and he was appointed by current Oklahoma governor Kevin Stitt to head the state's COVID response team.
00:39:17.000Oh, and Mr. Stacey is listed as the primary contact for 320 marijuana licenses, or about 3.5% of all marijuana licenses in Oklahoma.
00:39:26.000And in February 2022, he was charged with 13 felony counts related to illicit marijuana.
00:39:33.000Again, if we legalize all of it, there will be no.
00:41:52.000That's interesting because we found Stephen Ho did the mortgage for you and Quantic has done a lot of lending here as well for the marijuana industry.
00:42:00.000Is there anybody that we can talk to about this?
00:42:02.000Because it seems that there's, we know that this place is under investigation so we were just curious.
00:42:14.000If you could, we're just very curious to know about your relationship or Ma Ma Ma's relationship with Quantic Bank because they're also part of this investigation and we're finding that they have a relationship with Ma Ma Ma and the marijuana industry.
00:42:28.000It seems like there's a lot of connection going on here.
00:42:30.000I don't have any personal relationship with Quantic Bank at all.
00:42:36.000So you're not familiar with Quantic at all?
00:42:38.000No, I'm talking about... So you've never met with a Stephen Ho?
00:43:50.000We're journalists investigating this story right now, so there's a lot of different investigations going on that surround this whole thing that my partner just kind of laid out for you guys, so we're just trying to get to the bottom of a few things, and, you know, we have a lot of questions.
00:44:00.000If you could help us, that'd be great.
00:44:02.000Because, yeah, I'm very sick and I don't really have time for juggles.
00:44:40.000Now immediately after that interaction, a researcher on this team found something that you would consider straight from a Hollywood script.
00:44:48.000And not even necessarily one that's been redacted for the Chinese market.
00:46:30.000Because we do have photo evidence of her jeep at an illicit marijuana farm that she claimed to have no knowledge of, and the same jeep parked in front of her residence in Edmond, Oklahoma, that was signed for by Stephen Ho at Quantic Bank.
00:46:58.000Also noteworthy of Fu, she's just filled with criminal nuggets as her phone number is listed as the contact number for Wangshen Fanmei, a service provider.
00:47:09.000That offers full supervision services for overseas students studying in America.
00:47:17.000It was created on December 26, 2023, and it advertises a relationship, seemingly official, with the University of Oklahoma College of Aeronautics.
00:47:29.000Having our suspicions We reached out to a representative directly for the university to see if there was any kind of an official foo connection.
00:47:41.000Um, you know, I've never heard that name before, and I don't know why they'd be advertising us, because we're a kids program.
00:49:37.000You know, you know, like, Those two years, I mean, experienced Illusionator, were having career years.
00:49:47.000So, um, we were, everyone was so busy.
00:49:52.000Right, they were just... Yeah, they were just, you know, taking applications and, you know, double checking that they qualified and help them get a loan.
00:50:02.000You know, in hindsight, now that, you know, I don't know which question, how many people... In hindsight now, the question I need to ask, not that they'll give me an honest answer, is to ask those extra questions.
00:50:15.000By the way, what are you going to do with this property?
00:50:17.000Now, to be fair, it does seem like Ho was unaware of exactly what Quantic was up to.
00:50:24.000He may be an idiot, but it also looks like Quantic operated with the attitude of, it's best not to ask questions.
00:50:36.000We now know that New York-based Quantic Bank financed the purchase of multiple properties in Oklahoma, as well as illicit weed farms in Maine.
00:50:52.000Quantic, led by Stephen Ho, also wrote the mortgage for an Edmond, Oklahoma property purchased by Yiyao Fu, who also has a property in Flushing, Queens, the hub of China's United States drug network.
00:51:05.000Now, in addition, To being the primary contact for a service provider to Chinese students in America that may or may not exist, Yiya Fu is the owner of Mamama Consult LLC based out of Oklahoma City.
00:51:18.000Mamama Consult LLC helps Chinese nationals obtain marijuana grow licenses in Oklahoma by helping them circumvent industry standards as chill as they may be, including the requirement that 75% of the farms must be owned by an Oklahoma resident.
00:51:42.000She notarized a groundwater usage permit application for JN Operations LLC in Shuji-Ni.
00:51:46.000The farm has subsequently been shut down and the owner arrested as of December 28, 2023.
00:51:52.000JN Operations has listed as the primary contact one Matt Stacey, an infamous Oklahoma attorney with personal relationships with the governor.
00:52:01.000And, point of contact, for more than 300 marijuana farms in Oklahoma, Stacey has also been charged with 13 marijuana-related felonies.
00:52:09.000So, to sum this all up, Quantic loaned money to multiple Chinese nationals in Oklahoma, including the owner of Mama Ma Consult, Ye Ye Fu, who, on at least one occasion, worked hand in glove with Oklahoma's most notorious weed magnet,
00:52:24.000Matt Stacey, to set up an illicit marijuana farm that is now under seizure order by the state
00:52:40.000Okay so we've told you about the operations, the destruction, and the players on the ground.
00:52:46.000But at the end of the day, there's one entity pulling the real strings.
00:52:51.000And it's not a crime boss, it's not just a mortgage broker, or even a bank.
00:52:57.000The Chinese Communist Party's cooperation with the triads has been incredibly well documented and has foundations stemming from the handover of Hong Kong by Britain to China in the late 1990s.
00:53:08.000Writing for the publication Foreign Policy, J. Michael Cole describes this evolution As it relates to the relationship, by the 1990s triads were well established in both Hong Kong and Taiwan and the CCP had gone from seeing them as a brutal opponent to a useful tool.
00:53:22.000After the handover, the relationship evolved in what was now Chinese territory.
00:53:26.000Pro-Beijing gangsters threatened and on a few occasions physically assaulted activists and the few media outlets that remained critical of Beijing.
00:53:35.000So pro-Beijing gangsters have remained active in suppressing any type of anti-communist Chinese sentiment, including in 2017 when triads assaulted a group of pro-Hong Kong democracy protesters at the Hong Kong airport.
00:53:49.000We also know that the CCP and the triad work hand in glove when it comes to money laundering.
00:53:54.000For example, in 2021, the Commission of Inquiry into Money Laundering in B.C.
00:53:57.000revealed that a Chinese national earning about $40,000 a year Decent income.
00:54:05.000Purchased $32 million worth of real estate in Vancouver, Canada.
00:54:11.000And we know that it's a country that's good at math.
00:54:14.000A related summons showed that between 2011 and 2020, Hong Kong depositors moved $166 million into BC accounts.
00:54:24.000Unsurprisingly, these depositors were linked directly to organized crime and the CCP, with one depositor being a member of China's foreign influence program.
00:54:49.000Treasury official tells NBC News that Chinese criminal organizations are operating in the U.S.
00:54:53.000and now working with Mexican cartels by helping them launder money made from meth, fentanyl, and other drugs.
00:54:59.000These Chinese entities with direct connections to the Communist Chinese government facilitating drug trafficking, namely fentanyl, okay, for the Mexican cartels, it's such an open secret.
00:55:09.000That it took center stage November 2023 in a meeting between Joe Biden and Xi Jinping in San Francisco.
00:55:15.000Biden said that he and Xi got to restart cooperation to encountering narcotics.
00:55:19.000They got to talk about the fentanyl crisis and the production of those precursors to fentanyl, those precursors, the chemicals that are produced in China.
00:55:28.000So the question becomes, are these Chinese crime organizations really operating independently of the Chinese Communist Party?
00:55:35.000After all, it's kind of difficult to believe that the world's largest surveillance state could be so blind to such large-scale, burning, smelly operations.
00:56:24.000Now, according to Mr. Woodward at OBN, they've intercepted truckloads of marijuana worth at least $28 million.
00:56:33.000Mr. Woodward went into detail on the Chinese government's involvement specifically in Oklahoma.
00:56:39.000It comes as a shock to me that these large-scale organizations could be operating in the United States in such a large degree without some sort of at least tacit approval from the Chinese Communist Party.
00:56:51.000Is there any link there that you've seen or identified where you at least see involvement or kind of approval from the CCP?
00:56:59.000Is there any indication of that at all?
00:57:02.000Well, there's 100% evidence that the Chinese Communist Party is absolutely aware of everything that their citizens are doing within the
00:57:10.000borders of their country and our U.S. borders.
00:57:12.000There's no doubt. They monitor everything. They monitor their people, their activities,
00:57:17.000the movement of the money. It's much like with the fentanyl crisis. China publicly said they're
00:57:24.000going to crack down on the exportation of fentanyl out of China, but privately they've
00:57:29.000done nothing to stop it and they know exactly what's happening.
00:57:32.000And it's no different with the Chinese Communist Party's involvement in marijuana in the United States.
00:57:38.000This is well documented, and I've seen other documentaries that have aired where one of the big parts of the Chinese Communist Party, one of their primary goals is one, acquire as much U.S. land as you can and number two,
00:57:50.000acquire and gather as much and collect U.S.
00:57:53.000currency as possible. And that's why people said, why are they involved in marijuana? Because it
00:57:57.000can accomplish both of those goals. You need thousands of acres of land, sometimes with just
00:58:02.000a few farms in places like Oklahoma, and it's an all cash business and 40 states have legalized it.
00:58:08.000So that's accomplishing their goals. And specifically talking about Oklahoma,
00:58:12.000I can't get into a lot of details, but I can tell you that we have identified
00:58:17.000people who are considered national security risks tied to the Chinese Communist Party identified
00:58:24.000on Oklahoma farms as among these people that come and check and monitor
00:58:28.000the activities of the farms and the workers themselves.
00:58:31.000They are linked to high-ranking people within the Chinese government that we personally have identified here in Oklahoma on these farms.
00:58:40.000No, I'm not a Chinese national, but this math adds up.
00:58:44.000We all know that China's been buying up farmland across the United States, and they've been securing troves of hard U.S.
01:00:01.000President Xi has publicly stated that the West is declining and China is ascending.
01:00:05.000Criminal activity has become part of China's strategy to grow its power in conjunction with its authoritarian statecraft, military buildup, espionage, theft, deception, trade, loans, debt traps, payoffs, influence operations, etc.
01:00:19.000to structure a 21st century with Chinese, quote, characteristics.
01:00:24.000Look, the aim of the CCP here is pretty clear.
01:00:28.000Xi Jinping has stated himself that he intends to see the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
01:00:35.000And we have internal CCP memos that outline a strategy showing that this rejuvenation
01:00:42.000means displacing the American order and instead replacing it, instituting Beijing's own.
01:00:50.000So of course they would want to own United States farms.
01:00:53.000And of course they would want to be involved with the illicit marijuana industry in Oklahoma.
01:00:59.000But it's just one tool that Beijing is using to enrich itself and undermine the United
01:01:04.000But sometimes when the scope feels so big, you get lost in this game and forget that
01:01:10.000there are real life consequences for everyday Americans.
01:01:15.000It's killing, absolutely killing the legitimate industry.
01:01:19.000As I said before, the first two years we probably had close to 3-4,000 farms and most of those were run by just local people trying to make a go of it.
01:01:26.000So the market was already oversaturated.
01:01:28.000And then you have an influx of 5,000 more farms that we've linked back to Mexican organized crime, Chinese organized crime, that try to look legitimate on the surface, but they're all criminal and they're growing for $100 a pound.
01:01:39.000They're going to undercut the legitimate growers for sure.
01:02:58.000When you have foreign entities who have specifically stated that their goal is to subvert the Western American way of life, and to do so through operations within your own country, how many businesses have been shattered?
01:03:28.000For all of the seen damage, there's unseen damage that can't even begin to be quantified.
01:03:37.000You feel it every day, and right now we're showing you what we can verify, but there are intangible variables You can't put your finger on it.
01:04:10.000We know that it's in the hundreds of thousands to tens of millions of acres, as far as American farmland, that you may never get back.
01:04:20.000We know it's in the billions of dollars that was lost during COVID that was foisted upon us by, again, to some degree, and by some I mean all degree, the Communist Chinese government and complicit representatives who weren't looking out for you.
01:04:40.000We do what we can here and we appreciate your support.
