It's clearly the first line of a deeply rooted plot. These plants, when fully grown, will be identifiable from special satellites. They just have to get enough unwitting people planting them as well to make the strategic plants from sticking out.

Kudzu was the first wave. This deeply rooted plot goes way back.

I've never noticed kudzu, but those invasive spiky water chestnuts that hurt to step on all over the Hudson are the real biological warfare.

I'd never heard of these before: http://nyis.info/invasive_species/water-chestnut/

The other common name ("water caltrop") is illuminating.

It was everywhere in Georgia, but eradication efforts made a lot of progress.

Heh, remember tumble weeds are an invasive species from Russia.

That's just a hoax of an investigation. Tumble weeds were from the wild west days. It too was clearly part of the plot from China. As they built the railroads, they were doing their version of Johnny Appleseed dropping the tumble weed seeds. The whole of the US Southwest was a lush garden like area until these tumble weeds took over and turned it into a desert.

While we are on tumbleweed, I suggest this video on tumbleweed by the excellent GCP Grey:

We must shine the light of day on this deeply rooted pot, in an investigation that leaves no stone unturned.
