Well, under Clintoon, the Chinese WERE on the way to purchasing rights to use the port at Long Beach California until GOP raised a stink over it

Perhaps future Chinese requests for “cooperatve ventures” using our ports and our farmland to grow food for export to China and our mines to send coal to China (which Biden said in the campaign should be done with “dirty coal” )

all of this transfer of our resources to China will occur and be made to appear like a global good will gesture instead of a secret treaty that bartered our national resources and security away

after all, it is now being proven with the usurper's installation that we the people no longer have ANY constitutional protections of the Powers decide to ignore us

This is NOT far fetched

This is obviously satire and just as obvious beyond a number of people here.

Rush doesn’t want to be in government at all

Can't blame him for that. Wish he would, though.

It’d be pretty interesting if he did run. I don’t think the main GOP would support him, but he’d definitely spice up the campaign. And if he did win, wow, that would be so stinkin’ cool! (-:

“Is your BS meter made in China?”

Nope, I just know that Hillary is going to do nothing which hurts election chances down the road. Giving the Chinese eminent domain would be a catastrophic election issue to use against her, and she knows it. I could be wrong, but it just doesn’t sound true to me.

Not necessarily. These ‘agreements’ set up industry staffed councils and committees to take the place of elected government in creating regulations and rules. Since the Chinese constitution declares that the ‘people’ aka the chicom government owns 50% of all business interests in China, it’s safe to say there will be chicoms on the business panels making decisions regarding property and takings.

Granting special power to international entities was at the crux of the uproar over Cintra(owned by King Juan Carlos of Spain) and the tax payer funded roads which were taken over by Cintra for a toll road system in this country.

We have seen in the US that the federal government has allowed non-elected entities, like redevelopment agencies, special powers for eminent domain. Since apparently everyone in the federal government are globalists now, except for a very few, it follows that ‘special powers’ of eminent domain could be granted to international interests.

So here’s the catch 22. If we throw the globalists out of our government, we will naturally default on their commitments and the Chinese will move to recoup with US real property, or we leave the globalists in power, and the Chinese own our politicians, our manufacturing and a large part of the global transportation system that gets the goods to our ports. Of course if Arnold has his way, he’ll finish off the California state budget by building his pet ‘goods movement system’ to facilitate getting chinese made goods into the heartland.

Corruption and danger abounds these days!

If China wants US property I say the first thing we do is give them all of our ammo.

Most rumors have some basis in fact. I believe this one does.

I always wondered if all the national forests, etc would be used as collateral. Legal constraints notwithstanding, the current crowd would gladly ink some kind of deal to get the money.

It's not too far a stretch from Clinton's locking up the vast coal deposits in the Escalante Staircase in Utah by expanding the borders of a "national monument" to include them as a repayment to an Indonesian campaign contributor who had his own large coal holdings.

I changed my mind. It’s more fun to let you keep blabbing, in all your 18 yrs of worldly wisdom, for all to see what a bore you are.

What you failed to understand in my comment was you need to do more reading on FR before you have any standing to try to call in the moderator on another poster. That’s what smells about you.

It is apparent, however, that Hillary offered them something to take on our debt.

Well, the red 'overcharge' button went to Russia, so we know it is not that. :-)

Seriously, I thought this had been confirmed as a hoax but I have not paid too much attention to it. I have read enough of La Enchiladita's posts to know she does not post these things lightly. I will add it to my "look for info" list.

A hoax would be something concocted deliberately to deceive. Are you sure?

On the other hand, we see this article in the sidebar: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2202460/posts

Is that a hoax too?

Don’t forget Dianne Feinstein who locked up the lanthanide mining in the Mojave National Preserve. This greatly benefited China, where she and husband Dick Blum have enormous financial investments.

(((Thank you.))) See 114 and the sidebar also.

I highly trust my friend who sent me the e-mail of this article. She has received subsequent info that contradicts the claim, but keep it in your file anyway.

It’s a fine day at FR when, even though I wrote a disclaimer at the beginning, so many decided to “shoot the messenger.” Whatever degree of truth there may be in the RUMOR, and it is admittedly rumor, it is a basis of departure for discussion of possibility and probability.

This means that in the event the US Government defaults on its financial obligations to China, the Communist Government of China would be permitted to physically take -- inside the USA -- land, buildings, factories, perhaps even entire cities - to satisfy the financial obligations of the US government.

If this happens - and I think there is likely truth in it - it will be accomplished by the transfer of Federal lands in the Western USA (considered worthless by Obama and his East Coast ilk) to the control of Chinese-owned natural resource corporations.

I am more concerned with how many votes it would take to over rule an EO. You should be, too.

Please, don’t give them any more ideas, Mr. Jeeves.

And wasn’t it Bubba himself, early in his first administration, who authorized the sell-off of Pacific Northwest rainforest to Mitsubishi, i.e., Japan? (It was called Option 9) He and Mr. Environment, his veep.

As it turns out I was just the first to notify someone of this silly post and I was not the only person to call this BS.

So I may be new and all, but I know better than to post drivel like this.
