As innocent and adorable as they may seem, squirrels may actually be playing a much larger role in society than we realize. While we often see these furry creatures scurrying around parks and forests, it's important to remember that they are incredibly intelligent and resourceful animals.
Let's look at Bob here from our own cameras. Notice how he just stares into the camera, telling us that he knows we are watching, but he's watching us too and doesn't care.
Recent reports and studies have revealed that squirrels may be working with the government to gather information and conduct surveillance on citizens. It sounds like something out of a conspiracy theory you'd hear on this website, but the evidence is quite compelling. Squirrels possess a unique set of skills that make them ideal for this type of covert operation.
Let's start with some published facts. According to Global Times, squirrels are being trained to detect drugs in China and are being deployed in a complex environment of places such as logistics warehouses and delivery stations in Southwest China's Chongqing Municipality.
The US Army is even studying squirrel intelligence, behavior, and agility to create robots based on squirrels that they can better control.
Iran has also felt threatened by these spies. In 2007, according to BBC.com, the Iranian army arrested a team of 14 "spy squirrels" found near a nuclear enrichment plant. Officials said they succeeded in apprehending the suspects "before they were able to take any action".
According to NPR, Robert Baer, who worked for the CIA in Iran, intelligence expert James Bamford and wildlife professor John Koprowski, who co-authored the book North American Tree Squirrels, discuss historical attempts to use animals in intelligence gathering and the likelihood that the U.S. or any other country could count on squirrels to retrieve any useful information.
One of the key advantages squirrels have is their nimble agility. These creatures are able to climb trees, jump between branches, and navigate tight spaces with ease. This makes them perfect for accessing hard-to-reach areas and remaining undetected by humans. Their small size and swift movements allow them to blend in seamlessly with their surroundings, making it nearly impossible for anyone to spot them.
In addition to their agility, squirrels also have incredible stealth. They are able to move silently and quickly, making it difficult for anyone to detect their presence. This makes them ideal for gathering information without drawing attention to themselves. Squirrels are also known to be excellent at eavesdropping, using their keen sense of hearing to listen in on conversations from a distance. While they may or not understand what we are saying, attaching a recording device is simple here.
But how exactly are squirrels working with the government? It's believed that they have been trained to carry small cameras and recording devices, allowing them to capture valuable intel without anyone suspecting a thing. These devices can be attached to the squirrels' bodies or hidden within their fur, making them virtually undetectable.
Squirrels have been observed making frequent trips to government buildings, parks, and other public spaces where they can gather information. They have reportedly been seen scurrying around security perimeters, climbing up buildings, and even entering homes to conduct surveillance. It's clear that these creatures are highly intelligent and capable of carrying out complex acrobatic missions.
While the idea of squirrels spying on us may sound far-fetched, it's important to remember that animals have been used for espionage purposes throughout history. Pigeons were famously used as messengers during wartime, and dolphins have been trained for military operations (more on this in a future post). Squirrels are simply the latest addition to this long list of animal operatives.
Though I fear there will be no hope for us if they turn from espionage to becoming weaponized as army robots.
Even Bob here mooned the camera to show us he knows we are watching. And because he's an a**hole.
It's crucial to remain vigilant and aware of the potential threat posed by squirrels. While they may appear harmless on the surface and just out to steal all of your bird food, their intelligence, agility, and stealth make them formidable adversaries. Squirrel John Wicks. The next time you see a squirrel in your backyard or at the park, remember that it may be keeping a watchful eye on you and is really a trained government spy. And definitely watch what you say outside, especially around wooded areas. Stay alert, and you may just spot one of these furry spies in action.

I am truth.
