On Monday, an anonymous Biden administration official told the Associated Press that the Communist nation of China has been operating a spy base in Cuba since 2019 as part of a global effort by Beijing to upgrade its intelligence capabilities.
This is nothing new for prophet Charlie Shamp, who says the Lord showed him more than two years ago about the devious deeds of the Chinese government and how the relationship between China and the U.S. would deteriorate quickly.
From spy balloons over the country to the arrest of Chinese spies in New York City in April and now the discovery of the spy base in Cuba, the Chinese have thrust the U.S. into a “cold war” similar to that of when the Soviet Union and the U.S. were at odds and on the brink of a nuclear war at any moment.
“The Lord has shown me a lot of things concerning China,” Shamp told Charisma News in April. “The Lord spoke to me almost two years ago concerning China and how we would be at what God called a cold war.
“This would have to do with some things that happened back in 2020, partly concerning the virus. But this was an attack upon the nation of America. Now we’re starting to see even in the news that we are in an underlying war with the nation of China whether we recognize it or not—from spy balloons to recently seeing in the news that there were Chinese spies that were in New York that were arrested.
“We are at war with China whether we recognize it or not. This is a cold war, but I believe through prayer we’re going to see the nation of America come back again.”
The AP reported that the Biden administration official was not authorized to comment publicly, saying the “U.S. intelligence community has been aware of China’s spying from Cuba for ‘some time,’ in an effort to establish intelligence-gathering operations from around the globe.”
In February, a Chinese spy balloon floated across the U.S. until a fighter jet shot it down over the coast of South Carolina. An already strained relationship between the two countries intensified, especially when the balloon, the height of which was comparable to the Statue of Liberty and that the Chinese maintained was a weather balloon that veered off course, was taken out by the fighter plane.
The existence of the Chinese spy base was confirmed after The Wall Street Journal reported last Thursday that China and Cuba had reached an agreement in principle to build an electronic eavesdropping station on the island nation.
The Wall Street Journal also reported that China planned to pay Cuba, which has been strapped for cash for quite some time, billions of dollars as part of the negotiations.
The White House called the report inaccurate, and White House National Security Council Spokesman John Kirby said in an interview last week with MSNBC that “What I can tell you is that we have been concerned since day one of this administration about China’s influence [and] activities around the world; certainly in this hemisphere and in this region, we’re watching this very, very closely.”
Kirby said the Chinese spying efforts from Cuba were an “ongoing” matter and “not a new development,” the AP reported.
In the meantime, Shamp says, he’s concerned about the efforts of some for America to join China as a communist government. In a 2022 article by the New York Post, four immigrants who fled communist regimes say they now see the ominous signs of authoritarianism in the United States.
“There are things that are happening in this country, issues that are clearly attempting to bring us into a communistic state,” Shamp says. {eoa}
