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 willelectSelect for the U.S.Sheeple for president this time around?You can bet it will be a China-Firster "Globalist".
Our political system is a farce. Maybe it always has been.
