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.

I got on such a rant there I forgot to address the central point of the article. There should be NO foreign ownership of American land or resources, period, especially farmland or other resources that we cannot live without. Any extra affluence that might accrue to a select minority of the population as a result of foreign money pouring in is FAR outweighed by the undue influence over our lives, and even potential for extortion that such arrangements create.

The central principle governing our economy going forward must be that all business activity MUST preserve and enhance the sovereignty and security of the American nation FIRST AND FOREMOST. Any economic activity that only benefits certain individuals or companies. but at clear detriment to national sovereignty and security, must be prohibited. Any “citizen of the world” business titans who don’t like it can forfeit their citizenship, get the hell out of the U.S., and also forfeit the privilege of selling their globalism-produced products back into the U.S. marketplace.

ENOUGH of this traitorous crap.
