Public Asked To Report Receipt of any Unsolicited Packages of Seeds
Contact: Michael Wallace, 804.786.1904

The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) has been notified that several Virginia residents have received unsolicited packages containing seeds that appear to have originated from China. The types of seeds in the packages are unknown at this time and may be invasive plant species. The packages were sent by mail and may have Chinese writing on them.

Please do not plant these seeds. VDACS encourages anyone who has received unsolicited seeds in the mail that appears to have Chinese origin to contact the Office of Plant Industry Services (OPIS) at 804.786.3515 or through the ReportAPest@vdacs.virginia.gov email.

Invasive species wreak havoc on the environment, displace or destroy native plants and insects and severely damage crops. Taking steps to prevent their introduction is the most effective method of reducing both the risk of invasive species infestations and the cost to control and mitigate those infestations.

We may have to nuke em from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

I think it's a sad state of affairs that this point in our History that the US Agriculture Department doesn't have Botanist that can easily and readily identify random seeds within minutes to issue a report on the severity of the threat.
What is our fucking Agriculture depart full of Liberal Commie Retards that can recite all 55,000 genders but can't identify a fucking seed sent from China in the Mail?

There’s been a number of other recent seizures of illegal meat in last couple of month s. This should be of major concern since there’s been at least 112 “reported “ outbreaks of swine flu in China during this same time frame . https://www.bloggersjournalph.com/post/warning-to-ph-scientists-warn-new-virus-in-pigs-in-china-has-high-potential-pandemic-risk

Here's the term I couldn't remember earlier. May be as simple as a brushing scam, in which inexpensive items are shipped to customers who didn't order them. The goal is to make an e-commerce sale confirm as "delivered" to a platform, so the scammer can leave a five star review and boost the sellers ratings and therefore sales.

Wow, I heard people in 30 states have received these seeds.

30 states.

I wonder if this is a veiled threat from china? To show us how they can hit us where we least expect it, and where we would have trouble preventing without causing ourselves great pain?

But maybe it is "brushing" like said above.

China is asshoe!
12   MrEd   2020 Jul 28, 9:13am  

With the low covid numbers in china i still dont take the possibility off the table that covid was a biological attack on the usa, with the vaccine baked into the chinese food supply
Their numbers just don't add up.

Agreed. It would be the perfect attack on another country if you have a way to secretly administer the vaccine to your own populace. As long as you don't get caught.

When it first started, I was looking for an outcome that had an outsized impact on the usa vs china. And it did pan out that way.

It's just so odd that China dealt with the virus so well, and their cases suddenly and abruptly flat lined in early march.

And with quadruple the population

Will someone please ask David Attenborough what in the fuck are they?
21   Ceffer   2020 Aug 4, 12:45pm  

I think each seed, illegal immigrant or not, gets a pre-filled Dem ballot, postage pre-paid.

A sample of the vaccine they baked into the rice vats in china...
They are seeding the market they created...

Why seeds in particular? Why send anything at all? Wouldn't just an empty package/envelope suffice as long as it reaches some address and that fact is registered in the tracking system?
