I have a local thing I refer to as freight train economics.....all the miles of sea containers with china monikers on em , yan ming, COSCO, etc are telling as to what we as a nation are buying from em.....
Stop buying at Walmart and you will!
Stop buying at Walmart and you will!
At this point about all you can do is determine where it will be safer, and move there. Our leaders are as blind as any nation's leaders in history, just before their respective nations fell.
No amount of reasoning will get through. Our leaders know it all. Our slide into oblivion is pre-ordained.
Peace through strength, will now become war through lack of it.
China's goals are set. Our resolve is non-existant.
Those that advocated doing what we've done with China should swing at the end of a rope.
Laugh now, pay later...
I think maybe we should stop reading the nutty rantings of Chuck Baldwin.
China is trying to build an economy based on capitalism but without the freedoms. When China starts to implode...then there may be war.
If they attack, they can pretty much write off the hundreds of billions of dollars in US treasuries they hold.
Chuck baldwin might just be misinformed.
Back in the early 90's (IIRC), the SciFi channel used to splash playful 'messages from the future' during station ID.
The one that still rings true was:
"Message from the future: Learn to speak Chinese."
China is a communist country that is merely cashing in on America's capitalism while we finance their military machine.
They will totally destroy our economy by cashing in those treasuries just before they attack.
Yes the author is very uninformed about how many carriers we have. Check this link out.

The one place where Baldwin is misinformed in his article is the value of our stake in Iraq. Being able to control middle east oil supply is one of our big advantages.
Last time I counted there were 12 carriers (Enterprise, Kitty Hawk, JFK, Nimitz, John Stennis, Eisenhower, Teddy Roosevelt, Harry S Truman, Ronald Reagan, Carl Vinson, George Washington, Aberaham Lincoln.)
Enterprise was launched 45 years ago yesterday and is far more capable now than in 1960. Carriers built since the 1980s are projected to be in service for 50 - 80 years.
This guy is on crack.
The American people have been lulled into a slumber. The advesary has been within our midst for generations. He waves and American flag.

The country was sold out with Nafta and Gatt. Believed it back when it was proposed, believe it now...
