From WND...September 02, 2007 :

WND Exclusive RODHAM WATCH
Is the other Hsu about to drop?
Hillary's donor linked to China missile trader

**************************EXCERPT**********************

Reports by federal investigators say the PLA used a host of Chinese agents living in the U.S. as bagmen to funnel cash to the Clinton-Gore campaigns and gain access to the White House and sensitive government agencies.

Even U.S. corporate executives did their bidding. Most alarmingly, Schwartz persuaded the Clinton administration to give his Loral Space and Communications subsidiary a waiver to use inexpensive Chinese rockets to launch U.S. satellites into space.

Loral at the same time helped Beijing – over the objections of the U.S. intelligence community – improve its commercial space launchers. That in turn, helped make its nuclear-tipped missiles more reliable as ICBMs, several of which are aimed at U.S. cities.

In fact, it's believed China's recent downing of a satellite with a ground-based missile would not have been possible without Loral's technical assistance.

I recalled it as Loral Space also. Gave them the capability to not only get their vehicles into orbit but to MRV their warheads, too.

Thank you for correcting my failing memory.

So we're sandwiched between the globalists who need to maintain a balance of power to keep the appearance of eminent danger in the forefront so they can supply the build-ups on both sides, and the "useful idiots" who actually believe socialism is the utopia the world needs.

Sell RPGs and surface-to-air missiles to the Crips and Bloods, and the next L.A. gang war could be very exciting, especially at LAX.
