Will Congress Sell Out the American People at "U.S." multinational CEOs' Request?

"Our government no longer serves the American people."

The U.S. government at all levels exist to serve multi-national corporations. That's precisely why the NorthAmericanUnion is slipped under the U.S. tent, without so much as a whimper from our elected pols, that is also why the two border patrol agents languish in prison while the drug runner goes free, that is also why Arab countries are building mosques and madrassas fast and furious.

The only "News that's fit to print" are headlines about Brittany, Tom Cruise, Paris Hilton, and the latest winner on "American Idol," etc.: to keep the eyes of the "sheeple" fixed on non-issues lest they become too concerned with the massive give-away of our sovereignty to the highest bidders, behind our backs.

You might know that Bill Gertz is always writing articles and books on the China threats, so I e-mailed him and asked him to help Duncan Hunter out, and included a snippet of a Hunter quote re: Communist China.

I hope others will join me in contacting Bill Gertz. Gertz has been a guest on many radio shows, including Drudge, Mark Levin, Bob Dornan, et al

Bill Gertz covers the Pentagon. He can be reached at 202/636-3274 or at bgertz@washingtontimes.com.

So is Congress for sale to the China lobby?

The US has been giving in to China since the early 90s and it got especially worse under Clinton. Unlike them and India, two countries who work tirelessly to preserve an advantage in trade the US seems to bend over backwards to accommodate everyone.

Wonder who China will elect for president this time around?

You can bet it will be a Globalist.

from $18 billion to $52 billion. Meanwhile U.S. imports from China have jumped from $102 billion to $287 billion.

288% increase for US exports to China in the last 5 years; 281% for Chinese trade. At that rate it will take about 50 years to have balanced trade with China. It looks like there is a major advance for us and not as great for China in trade . . . but when you run the numbers . . . not.

Will Congress Sell Out the American People at "U.S." multinational CEOs' Request?

In a Noo Yawk second.

Not only YES, but HELL YES! They'd sell their dying grandmothers if requested!

I particularly found telling this analysis:

The letter by the CEOs should persuade Congress only of their untrustworthiness. Those who throw in their lot with a rival power merely out of personal greed or corporate gain should have no standing in the corridors of Congress, or anywhere else where American policy is supposed to be determined by public servants. But unfortunately, in many circles, money has become the basis of politics, not patriotism.

The main reason these rogue CEOs and the mercenary hacks they employ as lobbyists get in the offices of Members of Congress is not because they have anything intelligent to say about U.S.-China policy, but because they wave corporate and personal checkbooks in support of the Members re-election campaigns. Indeed, the reason the text of the letter was so short on substance was that the argument was not the message – the list of major campaign contributors among the signers was the real point being made to Congress.

This is compelling. The "arguments" they made were so incredibly feeble, their refusal to urge any redress whatsoever, it is in fact manifest that Hawkins has nailed them. They are overtly attempting to continue to corrupt the People's House. Not the first time, nor will it be the last. The question is, can the People actually wake up to their danger in time, flush everyone in the House and Senate who has succumbed to the bribes, and make it fit for Americans again.

Your comment was apt, but I would revise it slightly:

Wonder who China will elect Select for the U.S.Sheeple for president this time around?

You can bet it will be a China-Firster "Globalist".

Agreed but, Hillary does this right out in the open and no one calls her on it. How do we know who’s involved and who’s not? Who will stand up for this country (other than Hunter) and actually weed these people out.

Our political system is a farce. Maybe it always has been.

Many years ago Nikita Khrushchev made a statement. He said we would bury ourselves. To a large degree, his prophecy has come true.
Capitalism is a two edged sword. The often thinly veiled facade of patriotism by many capitalist no longer is required.
The object is to amass large sums of money. No matter what the ramification are in the long run. The problem Duncan Hunter will have is getting anyone to listen to his appeals to attempt to stop the tide. We have lost so much during the past twenty years it is beyond pathetic.
Once major industrial complexes, manufacturing plants etc., close down and the populations formerly dependent on them are dispersed, one has one hell of a job to attempt to reconstruct what was built over a hundred years plus.
The dangers have been expounded time in again over the years.
The dangers fell on deaf ears.

It does not sound as if the CEOs are frightened; they are the men fighting for free market capitalism. This organization also sounds protectionist, and that is one great big No-No in free market economics.

I am not for Hunter's "Mirror Trade"- it is a killer for capitalism and free market economics, protectionist, and one big mistake.

No, we are in this for the long haul. The good news is that China is definitely on the path to freedom: they passed a law that says the chinese may own private property now, and the companies owned by the government are being moved to the private sector.

I think we just have to ride this one out. Free market capitalism is not for the faint of heart.

The one thing the government can do is decide to award their military contracts to other companies if they do not like the policies of global companies. Make it worth their while to build our military equipment here by only awarding contracts to those companies.

Yes, once we lose something, it’s hard to get it back.
