Shades of Billy Jeff Clinton

“High Crimes and Misdemeanors, The Sequel”

Wonder if Bubba and his past cabinet sleazes and their staffers engaged in “advising” to make this deal happen

Undoubtedly the chinese will be glad to make generous contributions to the Obama and Democratic campaigns coffers.

Dr. Smith:

was whiny,
had delusions of grandeur,
regularly sold out his benefactors (who were providing him food, shelter & security) to any alien who would further his own cause,
would rather shirk than work,
seemed to want to hang out more with the guys than the gals,
would lie, cheat, or steal at the drop of a hat,
would talk big but cower behind others when harm was imminient
caused the mission to go off course, but would never admit it.

So “Lost in Space” does seem an appropriate metaphor for Obama

Calling Johnney Chung and Charlie Trie.

The following is from Wikipedia:

The 1996 United States campaign finance controversy, also known as Chinagate, was an alleged effort by the People’s Republic of China to influence domestic American politics during the 1996 federal elections.

The issue first received public attention in early 1997, with news that a Justice Department investigation had uncovered evidence that agents of China sought to direct contributions to the Democratic National Committee (DNC) in violation of U.S. laws regarding foreign political contributions.[1] The Chinese government denied all accusations. Twenty-two people were eventually convicted of fraud or for funneling Asian funds into the United States elections, and others fled U.S. jurisdiction. Several of these were associates of Bill Clinton or Al Gore.

Any secrets given to China go to N Korea, and others not so friendly to us. We have enemies “both foriegn and domestic” implanted into this regime, and the lines have blurred.

Bernie Schwartz, the head of Loral just happened to be the single largest contributor to Bill Clinton. Some things never change.

For example, a representative of CITIC, Wang Jun, met at the White House on Feb. 6, 1996—the same day that then-President Clinton approved the launch of four U.S. satellites on Chinese rockets.

A BLAST FROM THE PAST!

Wang Jun was (is) a notorious Chinese arms dealer. Clinton approved the import of a boat load of his rifles that congress had just determined were covered under the assault weapons ban after this meeting.

If we don’t gain control of every branch of government this election, we are in super trouble more than now. Bubba gave China lots of info - never got charged with treason - difficult to prove. Hillary now running amuck with Huma at her side, God knows what she is giving away.

Zippy in our white house with Holder, the ever so silent for months turbo tax timmy (just what IS he up to?), Panetta doing everything he can to dismantle the military, the EPA shutting down the entire productive segment of the country and it just goes on and on.

Then the likes of McCain and boo hoo Boehner stomping on Bachman’s totally urgent questions about Ellison and Huma and the muslim influence in our government. Folks this is more series and hugh than we ever imagined.

All of this makes is vital that we get out the vote. It will take time, but let’s keep up the good fight. Get out and help save this nation. Pray for the USA.

Instead of leaving bureaucrats in place the way The Bushes did, every bureaucrat needs to give a letter of resignation and be rehired on their merit. That process alone would get the economy back on track and do slabs to restore freedom.

..........”Only if intelligence data showed that AsiaSat had allowed the Chinese military to put payloads on its satellites would enforcement action be taken, the State official said.

The license to AsiaSat is being carried out under the Arms Export Control Act, and is part of the Obama administration program of seeking a major loosening of export controls of sensitive technology.

Critics opposed to loosening export controls have said the new policy will help China’s large-scale military buildup, specifically its space warfare programs.

A joint State Department-Pentagon report made public in April warned that U.S. plans to loosen controls on satellite exports will boost China’s space warfare capabilities.

Because of close ties between Chinese civilian and military space development, there is a “high likelihood that space-related items and technology will be diverted from a civil use and applied to military programs,” under relaxed U.S. export controls, the report said.

“As China advances in operational space capabilities, it is actively focusing on how to destroy, disrupt, or deny U.S. access to our own space assets,” the report said.

The report said China is building several new classes of offensive missiles, upgrading older missile systems, and “developing space-based methods to counter ballistic missile defenses of the United States and our allies, including anti-satellite (ASAT) weapons.”........

BUMP!
