Unknown Foreign Seeds Being Received by Americans

From: CBS News

"The USDA and agriculture officials in multiple states have issued warnings about unsolicited shipments of foreign seeds and advised people not to plant them."

"USDA is aware that people across the country have received suspicious, unsolicited packages of seed that appear to be coming from China," the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) said in a statement Tuesday.

"Pls don't plant seeds from unknown origins!" the agency tweeted.

This all sounds remarkably familiar to poor old DonDiego, remarkably similar to Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)

Unless the interested reader wants to be replaced by an emotionless alien duplicate, DonDiego also suggests do not even open the package !

I suggest that anyone receiving a package of seeds from China put on a tinfoil hat before opening it.

The authorities have figured this out already.  Apparently, Chinese Amazon sellers were shipping these out to generate fake reviews. They get somebody's identity in the US. They set-up a sham Amazon account using that information and ship the seed to them.  Then they use the fake Amazon account to write a "verified purchaser review".  Seeds were used because they can be mailed cheaply in a standard first-class envelope.

No, no, no, I'm sure it's a Deep State liberal conspiracy and Hillary's behind it all.

a couple of months ago, mywife received a package from China.  It was two pieces of funny looking silver ware.  Any one else heard of this?

Is this it?

funny looking silverware

I was going to say the "seeds" could be bat droppings, but then I remembered a cave near us where the big mounds of guano (bat shit) are part of the tourist attraction.   Apparently bats make pretty "high quality poops", as the dog food ad on TV says.

Don't know about that silverware.  Looks like somebody's utensils got in the garbage disposal.

The fact that the utensils weren't chopsticks is a clear sign that the liberal Deep State is in cahoots with China and Hillary to destroy the country and flood the land with socialist prairie dogs. It also proves that Barack Obama is a space alien from the planet Dweemo, sent here to observe humanity.

You see, I watch Fox News---the truthiest source of truthy truth in the whole dang world!!!

Nope, the handle was more in the design of a face silhouette.  I was impressed with your picture of funny looking silverware though.  

Bat guano is one of the ingredients in make-up, rougue I think.

Analysis of the seeds are coming in and they are just seeds from common vegetables and herbs.
