One could also change the property tax assessments based on ownership.

Screw you Newhouse. You and your adjacent WA-HD Herrera-Beutler RINO corruptocrat. Aren’t you glad you both voted to impeach Trump now.

They bought every townhouse in Vancouver and still had some money left over

More than 900 million acres of farmland in USA. Maybe 30 million acres owned by foreigners, the majority of whom are from Canada and Netherlands. Chinese are bit players.

I thought it was Bill Gates who bought all the farmland...

Even if the GOP regains the House & Senate, we cannot count on them doing anything about it...

The long inexorable march into the current tyranny under which we bear our chains occurred, uninterrupted, throughout almost all of GOP history...

The tree needs watering...

Remember in the ‘70s when the Japanese were buying all the choice real estate like Pebble Beach and everyone was all afraid that they would end up owning everything and we would all end up having to eat fugu and suchlike?

Just because they’re buying it now doesn’t mean they’re going to be able to keep it.

Somewhat related video report released today...

America’s Food Supply Fertilized With Human Remains And Coated With Nanoparticles

https://www.newswars.com/americas-food-supply-fertilized-with-human-remains-and-coated-with-nanoparticles/

Sounded like maybe a stretch, till I found this:

https://www.webce.com/news/2021/12/02/what-is-water-cremation-(alkaline-hydrolysis)

While flames from traditional cremation allow toxins and some of the deceased’s remains to float into the air as the tissue decomposes and evaporates, the water cremation process dissolves tissues and bone while the excess fluid drains into the black wastewater treatment system.

They have bought up almost all of the land in Texas around where I live in Richmond, Rosenberg, Wallis, Sealy, etc.

Do the Chinese also own food processing plants?

Are General Austin and General "willie" Milley too busy purging Americans out of our military and setting up castrations for the 'soldiers' who want to become fake women to even notice the threats to our country?

If our current Pentagon lowlife blowhards had been running things in World War II they'd let Germans buy our farmlands, processing plants and munitions factories. We'd all be speaking German today. The US military and 'intelligence' don't give a damn about the country... just about their 'perks'... eff 'em.

If I am not mistaken Mexico limits foreign ownership of land. For a reason. We should have put that in our Constitution.

Reality check here, while there should be obvious limits to foreign powers owning land. If we wanted it back, nothing would stop us from taking it back. China cannot occupy American soil, its a logistical nightmare to try. They don’t have the military for it, and won’t for 15 years if they started new massive buildups now. They would need millions in an occupy force alone, not to mention many many millions in logistical personnel. Not just what they have right now, orders of magnitude more. That’s not happening without becoming the kind of massive clue even the totally clueless lemmings in the Pentagon and Washington wouldn’t miss.

But also the land is not also not as much as total farmland in the USA. There’s a bigger total which dwafsh this. Owning land might be a form of value hedge for inflation, its likely a kind of financial hedge imo.

If U.S. politicians weren’t paid off, this would be illegal.

The main reason farmland is sough is for investment purposes as Farmland appreciates between 5 and 8% a year.

Nowhere in that article did is state how much farmland is owned by the Chinese. To own a really significant amount would require an investment in the 100’s of Billions of Dollars. Gates only owns 250,000 acres out of Millions upon Million of acres in production in this country. I know a family in Arkansas that owns at least as much as Gates.

Lets see some actual figures on this instead of hysteria.

I wonder where Free Traitors™ like Bert thought all the money we sent overseas to China and elsewhere was going to go? Did Bert think they would be happy with holding T-bills forever????

I know what I’m about to say is crazy talk to the “free traders (traitors)”, but recent events have shown the utter foolishness of that way of thinking. The U.S. is large enough and has the natural resources needed to become a completely self-contained economy, and MUST begin moving toward doing that as soon as possible. International trade should only occur with friendly nations, and only when such trade is to OUR advantage. Hostile, predatory nations like China should be shunned and frozen out of participation in the U.S. economy.

Believe me, I can already hear the cries of “protectionism”, but that’s not what we’re talking about here. Academic debates over “protectionism”, tariffs, and the like are quaint notions in an age when a hostile enemy nation can utterly destroy our country, either incidentally or intentionally, because our economy depends upon them for nearly EVERYTHING. I don’t care how many Wall Street and globalist business types profit obscenely off of that traitorous arrangement; the fact that their actions have put us in this situation SHOULD expose them to ruin once we go about setting things right.

Our number one priority going forward MUST be protecting our nation by establishing total independence in production of EVERY vital commodity or product. The globalist, “free trade” crowd has sold out this nation for their own 30 pieces of silver, and that treason must be stopped cold.

The Chinese don’t own a lot of US farmland yet. And we shouldn’t let them own much.
They do own Smithfield Foods however. Smithfield processes 17% of all US hogs.
That isn’t comforting.
