I thought we were all supposed to be dead by now because China was going to nuke us after Hutchinson Whampoa started running the Panama Canal?

Someone can point out the incentive that PLA generals would have to cut off their money supply?

Poor man wanna be rich, rich man wanna be king, kings want to be king of everything? I am sure that the Chinese will soon melt into a warm puddle of love, and begin holding free elections. After that, they will be no different than us.

LOL - that's right, kick out every foreign-owned port terminal company - at least can we all agree from the start that the U.S. cannot force the Bahamas to do the same?

So we kick out the Arabs & the Chinese. Fine.

They will just buy Vancouver, Halifax, Veracruz & Lazaro Cardenas & truck in whatever they want past George Bush's joke border security.

I couldn't agree more strongly with this article.

"Laws are already in place to prevent foreign ownership of television broadcasting properties in the United States."

That's because the World Communist Politboro already controls the CNNBCBSABC 'major media'.

What the hell is going on? Is Clinton secretly running national security? This makes NO sense, I'm sorry.

And it was another no-bid contract. Whether or not you think these companies are a security threat, why aren't American companies even allowed to TRY and win the contracts?

Globalist fingerprints all over it.

Then came the news that the United States had agreed to turn over operations in major U.S. ports to a company owned by the government of Dubai, one of the United Arab Emirates.

More accurate is the US refused to let DPW lease docking spaces (terminals) to load and unload cargo and denied them trade with the US. 80% of the terminals are leased by shipping companies other than the US. Many want to deny other shipping companies trade in the US by refusing to let their ships lease docking space.

Conquest. China dumps good made by slave labor into our country at below-cost prices. They have nukes pointed at us. They are taking total control over ports near us and even control some ports in our country like Long Beach. They are known to want to rule the world -- they're Communists, after all. They're positioning themselves.

And it was another no-bid contract.

Sure it was was. And it was simply meant to mislead you or ignorant in its implication. Hutchinson owns 50% of that port. The 50% that ships cargo. Can you force them to give up ownership because you want somebody to bid on it. It was a contract for service to the owner of the port, Hutchinson. Check Freeport port and you will find that Hutchinson owns and has made the 50% cargo port modern. Also they have dredged it to 47 ft deep and deeper than any of our Alantic ports. The biggest ships come in there and the cargo is transshipped to the US.

Any country besides the US controlling any part of our port operations is just stupid.
