China wants America on its knees. They’ll stop at nothing.
And now mysterious packages from China put the FBI on high alert.
Unsolicited Seed Mailings Shock the U.S. Heartland
Since the start of the year, Americans from Texas to New Mexico — and potentially beyond — have been left scratching their heads over unexpected packages showing up at their doorsteps.
These aren’t typical parcels; instead, they contain mysterious seed packets that appear to have been mailed from China, often in plain or Chinese-labeled envelopes and sent without anyone’s request. Officials quietly admit this isn’t the first time such mailings have hit the United States — a similar wave swept the country in 2020 — but the return of these packages nonetheless raises eyebrows.
Despite assurances from government bureaucrats that this might just be part of an e-commerce scam, critics warn the uncertainty around the origin and intention of these seeds merits a tough look at how lax current U.S. customs protocols are allowing these foreign shipments to slip through.
Official Alarms Over Biosecurity Risks
Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller has been among those sounding the loudest alarm bells, highlighting that the seeds are far from a harmless oddity.
Agriculture officials warn that even a single invasive species, pest, or pathogen introduced to American soil could have devastating consequences for U.S. farms, gardens, and the broader ecosystem.
“Texans need to stay sharp,” Miller urged, emphasizing that vigilance matters now more than ever. “Report every suspicious package. We can’t take any chances that might jeopardize our producers, the environment, or food security.”
Inside Washington, however, there’s been a muted response — with federal authorities characterizing the incident as a possible “brushing scam” disguised as a retail fraud tactic, rather than deliberate sabotage. Yet this framing leaves unanswered why these items from China continue entering the country un-inspected.
China Origins Raise Hard Questions
While some national agencies hope to frame this as mere online trickery, the fact remains that these seed packages — often addressed to homes that never ordered them — are originating overseas and evading U.S. agricultural safeguards.
“We’ve got a flaw in our security system,” Miller lamented to News 4 San Antonio, pointing out that “These things are coming direct ship. Customs is not picking this up.”
Officials and watchdogs alike are now wondering why mail from China — the world’s rising geopolitical rival, whose government tightly controls exports and investigations — is finding its way indiscriminately into American households.
The episode is only adding to broader concerns over Beijing’s role in global trade networks, cyber exploits, and soft power influence — and whether what’s being portrayed as chaotic external fraud might have more malicious underpinnings.
