CCP's Invasion: Corruption, Death, and US Territory Vulnerability

CCP Influence in CNMI

• 🇨🇳 The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), a US territory closest to China, is a key strategic location targeted by the CCP's political warfare.
• 🎯 The CCP's strategy involves conquering areas without firing a shot, leveraging corruption and Chinese money.

Governor Palacios's Fight Against Corruption

• 🗣️ Governor Arnold Palacios repeatedly sought investigations into corruption and CCP influence operations tied to Chinese money.
• 💰 He also requested federal audits for over a billion dollars in COVID relief funds and aimed to reduce the CNMI's economic dependence on Chinese capital.
• 💔 Governor Palacios, the sole official opposing CCP influence and public corruption, died suddenly, raising concerns about evidence destruction.

Imperial Palace Casino Scandal

• 🎰 A casino on Saipan, Imperial Palace International, is suspected of money laundering, corruption, and immigration violations.
• 💸 The casino, fast-tracked in 2014, reported billions in VIP bets within months of opening a temporary location, far exceeding legitimate volumes.
• 🤝 Imperial Palace hired former US governors and a former FBI director as advisors, and had a retired military judge and former CIA director on its board.
• ⚠️ The FBI investigated money laundering and wire fraud but closed its investigation without filing charges against Imperial Palace or the former governor, despite evidence.

Visa Waiver Program Abuses

• 🛂 CNMI is the only US location where Chinese nationals can enter without a visa, with a 14-day limit and restrictions on leaving the territory.
• 🚧 This program has been exploited, with hundreds of Chinese nationals overstaying their visas and working illegally in construction, leading to injuries and one death.
• 🚗 The program has also facilitated illegal activities like obtaining US driver's licenses and travel to other US territories like Guam, with individuals arrested near military bases.

Broader CCP Operations and National Security Concerns

• 💊 Beyond the casino, other CCP-linked activities include drug smuggling, birth tourism for anchor babies, and even murder allegations.
• 📉 Despite clear national security threats, the US government's response is perceived as insufficient, with investigations being closed.
• 📢 Calls are being made to close the visa waiver program to protect US national security, as the window for transparent investigation in CNMI is closing rapidly.
