A new watchdog report found that foreign ownership of US land - including buyers from adversarial nations like China, Russia and Iran - has increased by 40 percent since 2016, with some plots near sensitive military facilities. As well as espionage concerns, there is growing alarm about the integrity of America's food supply chains.

Maybe there is a place for emminent domain in the seisure of foreign-owned properties. I’d suggest same should extend to illegal aliens.

GAO pointed out that Chinese billionaire Chen Tianqiao's $85 million purchase of Oregon timberland is missing from government records.

Kimberly Gianopoulos, director of GAO, told DailyMail.com: 'Recent reporting about Chen Tianqiao (pictured) holding 200,000 acres of agricultural land does not appear to be accounted for in USDA’s data'

I’ve been trying to find out who is building the dozens of huge warehouses within about a 100-mile radius of me (Northeast PA). The records I’ve been able to access show a variety of non-descript corporations who seem to have little or no other internet footprint.

My guess is nationalization of food production / distribution.

“Chinese, Russian, Iranian and Venezuelans - now own at least 40M acres of US land”

That’s 62,500 sq miles.

For perspective, if aggregated, that would be equivalent to the 24th largest state by area, larger than Georgia, or Illinois, or Iowa, or New York, or North Carolina.

If I recall accurately what I’ve read about human history, virtually ever civilization that has ever relied on most of its food coming from another country, said country’s society eventually collapsed. But if they conquer another country and take over its agriculture lands and food production, they thrive.

It looks like three of the counties in GA where the Chinese have land are in proximity to Robins Air Force Base, a critical maintenance and logistics base for the entire Air Force.

is Venezuela a new member of the Axis? Joining Russia, China, Iran and North Korea? That could be a problem. What of South Africa?
