ARIES II DOWN: Another Technology Transfer to China

In an explosive blockbuster column, "ARIES II DOWN:Another Technology Transfer to China," former navy intelligence officer Al Martin writes that "in the continuing effort to make China the bogeyman of the 21st century, Washington has scored yet another coup - the loss of the EP-3E Aries II surveillance aircraft."

"It's very reminiscent of the phony FBI Hanssen Spy Case," he continues. "In other words, what the US Government is saying just doesn't jibe with the facts."

Martin takes the government to task for its contradictory and ever-changing explanations for the loss of the US surveillance aircraft, which carries classified National Security Agency electronic equipment.

"The implausible government story states that the Aries II aircraft was supposedly escorted by ancient Chinese F8 fighter planes to a Chinese military base at Hainan Island," Martin writes.

"The Aries II has an electronic counter-measure capability that could completely fry the electronic components of a state-of-the-art MIG 29, let alone a vintage Chinese F-8. Its defensive capability consists of highly advanced directional microwave weaponry."

"Also this US Navy aircraft uses technology that is proprietary to the National Security Agency," Martin continues.

"According to Department of Defense statements, all protocols were broken," Martin continues. "This indicates that the incident has been staged to create a deliberate transfer of this technology. This technology is so advanced that even the NSA was queasy about giving it to the Chinese."

Al Martin's past columns have described the illegal weapons sales at the US Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama, which have continued despite the change of administrations.

A former navy intelligence officer, Lt Cmdr. Al Martin, US Navy (Ret) claims that the Aries II technology transfer from the United States to Communist China will produce "the best enemy money can buy."
