872. Flower bug (12/19/2014)
Two decades ago, when I worked in Flea Market, a new seller came and became my neighborhood for several months. He was an ethnic Chinese, spoke same dialect – Shanghainese as I did. What he sold was art flower in vase. His merchandise was very nice. Different fresh flower cut and matched just right. It must have been done by master. People stopped and admired. I heard a customer told my neighbor seller, “Your merchandise does not belong to flea market. It should be in high class shop.” I had the same feeling.
Sometime later, in a gift show in San Francisco, I saw him having a flower boot. That’s the place fit for his arts.
When I got familiar with the surveillance tactic of the Feds, I suspect that unusual art flower seller was placed there as close as possible and tried to befriend me (speaking same dialect). I hadn’t link the flower to eavesdrop then.
About 14 years ago, I was drift in Malaysia. I came across with a Chinese book sale event. I bought one. It was memories of Chinese diplomats. One story caught my eye. It was written by Huang Hua – then the Chief of Sino-America Liaison Office in Washington. (China and US had not had normal diplomatic relationship at that time)
Huang Hua decided to hold a garden reception on Chinese National Day. He said a young American lady connected him and said she would to something to promote the friendship between China and US. Her family ran a flower shop in San Francisco. She would support the reception with all the flower needed – free of charge. She later air shipped all flowers from San Francisco to Washington for the event. Huang Hua was moved. He wrote, “how friendly the American civilian is to China.”
I thought in different way. That’s the best way to install bugs to every corner in Chinese Liaison Office on that special event. I recalled that art flower seller and for the first time linked flower to the bug.
873. Flower bug teacher (12/23/2014)
When my wife joined a flower art class and brought home with vase and flowers, my allegation that the Feds developed flower bug as a spy tool was proved true. They now installed the bugs in my house everywhere through my wife. People rarely suspect a flower worked as a bug because it's a living plant and won't last long. The flower dried several days later and being threw away. The bug must be very tiny (nano size technology?), hard to be recognized by human eyes. The cost is low so they could produce it in large quantity.
My wife has no interest in flower art. She has to keep it because it is an order from the Feds. Since fresh flower died quickly, at first it used to make ugly scenes in my home - withered flower with dried petals around the vase. Then they solved the problem by introducing some long living plants. Now there was no flower any more. The replace is bamboo like green plants which can live year long. They are placed in kitchen, sitting room, door entrance, turn-round of stairs...... watching every movement of the residents.
The flower art teacher lives nearby. I think she is an agent who train informants with flower bugging. As I have said before, the Feds emptied the area and moved in their own people. When my wife said the flower art teacher introduced her the roofing contractor, everything is clear for me.
All roads lead to Rome. All plots lead to the Feds- replace of new insurance agent who forced a roof change; Neighborhood roof change at same time; my wife refused normal roof contractor but want one introduced by the "flower art teacher" whom I alleged was an agent already.
Picture from door entrance. You can see two plants put in stairs. The one on top has yellow withered leaves.
