Subject: THE POLITICAL CRUSADES HAVE FINALLY STARTED



THE POLITICAL CRUSADES HAVE FINALLY STARTED

The Muslims are getting to be known - and rejected. The Political Crusades have finally started as predicted.


See how the world is acting fast on the threat posed by Islam and its barbaric Sharia Law.

Japan has always refused Muslims to live permanently in their country and they cannot own any real estate or any type of business,
and have banned any worship of Islam. Any Muslim tourist caught spreading the word of Islam will be deported immediately,
including all family members.

Cuba rejects plans for first mosque.

The African nation of Angola and several other nations have officially banned Islam.

Record number of Muslims, (over 2,000) deported from Norway as a way of fighting crime. Since these Muslim criminals have
been deported, crime has dropped by a staggering 72%. Prison Officials are reporting that nearly half of their jail cells are now
vacant, Courtrooms nearly empty, Police now free to attend to other matters, mainly traffic offenses to keep their roads and
highways safe and assisting the public in as many ways as they can.

In Germany alone in the last year there were 81 violent attacks targeting mosques.

Austrian police arrested 13 men targeting suspected jihad recruiters.

A Chinese court sends 22 Muslim Imams to jail for 16 to 20 years for spreading Islam hatred and have executed eighteen jihadists;
China campaigns against Separatism (disallowing Islamist to have their own separate state). Muslim prayers banned in government
buildings and schools in Xinjiang (Western China). Hundreds of Muslim families prepared to leave China for their own safety and
return back to their own Middle Eastern countries.

Muslim refugees beginning to realize that they are not welcome in Christian countries because of their violent ways and the continuing
Wars in Syria and Iraq whipped up by the hideous ISIS who are murdering young children and using mothers and daughters as sex slaves.

British Home Secretary prepares to introduce 'Anti-social Behavior Order' for extremists and strip dual nationals of their Citizenship.
Deportation laws also being prepared.

The Czech Republic blatantly refuses Islam in their country, regarding it as evil.

Alabama - A new controversial amendment that will ban the recognition of "foreign laws which would include Sharia law".

16 other States have all Introduced Legislation to Ban Sharia Law.

North Carolina bans Islamic "Sharia Law" in the State, regarding it now as a criminal offense.

The Polish Defense League issues a warning to Muslims.

Many Muslims in Northern Ireland have announced plans to leave the country to avoid anti-Islamic violence by Irish locals.
The Announcement comes after an attack on groups of Muslims in the city of Belfast, Groups of Irish locals went berserk and
bashed teenage Muslim gangs who were referring to young Irish girls as sluts and should be all gang raped, according to Islam
and ''Sharia Law’'. Even hospital staff were reluctant to treat the battered Muslim patients, the majority were given the Band-Aid
treatment and sent home with staff muttering ''Good Riddance''.

Dutch MP's call for removal of all mosques in the Netherlands. One Member of the Dutch Parliament said: "We want to clean
Netherlands of Islam".

Dutch MP Machiel De Graaf spoke on behalf of the Party for Freedom when he said, "All mosques in the Netherlands should
be shut down. Without Islam, the Netherlands would be a wonderful safe country to live in, as it was before the arrival of Muslim refugees''.
Amen!šŸ˜”

Fwd: A Quick Foreign Policy Lesson...

A Quick Foreign Policy Lesson.
 
This narrative is credited to Jack Wheeler.  Most of you have read his stuff.  He has a remarkable career in events involving foreign policy and shoots straight. You may not necessarily agree with all of these comments, be assured his viewpoints and conclusions do reach the highest levels of our government.  SF,Droopy 

 (P. S. After reading it a second time, I highly recommend this as a MUST READ. He has information in here that has not been made public to the American people and reflects somebody's good intelligence work.)
 
THIS IS A POWERFUL AND WELL PRESENTED DISCUSSION  ON WHAT USA WORLD POLICIES SHOULD BE, AND WHAT AMERICAN LEADERS NEED TO UNDERSTAND AND ACT ON IN THE NEAR FUTURE, AND WAS WRITTEN BY Dr. Jack Wheeler who was an advisor to President Reagan, including the policy leading to the winning of the "cold war".
 
Russia:
Putin is an ersatz macho-man, all hat and no karovi. Russia's navy is made of rust. Russia's ill-trained army of drunkards couldn't conquer Romania. Russian male life expectancy is lower than that of Bangladesh.  Russia is a mafiacracy with a doomed economy dependent on oil & gas exports that fracking in Europe & the US will make uncompetitive. Dos vidanya.
 
 China:
No wives, no water, no banks - and a hyper-dangerous military. Much of China is uninhabited - deserts, mountains, and wastelands. Habitable China is about the size of the US east of the Mississippi, with over a billion people squeezed into it.  These people live compacted along 7 major rivers making them vulnerable to water-borne pathogens. Northern China is turning into a waterless dust bowl. Scores of millions of Chinese men will never get married due to the Chicom's idiotic one-child policy and resultant mass female infanticide.
100 million bachelors are explosively dangerous. Chinese state banks are insolvent after going on a post-2008 loan binge with debt and credit in China now (according to the IMF) above 200% of GDP. A sharp economic contraction (increasingly likely) plus all those angry unmarried men equals war, the history-honored scapegoat diversion of tyrants.
The obvious Chicom choice for war would be Taiwan. But the Formosa Strait is 100 miles wide and China has no amphibious capacity. Taiwan is on the northern rim of the South China Sea, rapidly becoming one of the most jeopardous flash points in the world. Bordered by Taiwan, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, and China, over 50% by value of the worlds shipping traverses it – and China claims all of it, the entire South China Sea, as its own territorial waters. This cannot stand. China must be publicly informed by the next president that the South China Sea is international waters, period, there will be no discussion or negotiation. What is to be negotiated is the cooperative exploitation of what resources, such as oil, it may contain. No amount of Chicom bullying and saber rattling will do any good.  Every other country on the sea will join the US in this - and so will India and Japan.

Further, the Chicoms need to grasp that any aggression of theirs in the South China Sea will be naval only, and thus does nothing to occupy all their angry young bachelors. They need to go some place, a place with lots of water and lots of room for them, a place where the women prefer them to the local men who are drunks and beat up their wives, ideally a place once belonging to China but stolen by a foreign aggressor - so to get it back would give them a mission. Maybe even a wife.

There is such a place. It's called Siberia - specifically what China called its Maritime Provinces and Russia, after it seized them in 1860, calls the Russian Far East. The longest border to defend in the world is that between China and Russia!

It's only a matter of time, at most a decade or two, before Beijing converts most all of eastern Siberia into Chinese Siberia. There is simply no way a dying Russia can hold on to it. Might as well divert the Chicoms toward it and away from Taiwan and the South China Sea.

North Korea:
The Norks have no nukes. The half-kiloton yield in their tests means they failed to make weapons-grade plutonium. So they are no threat to us. They are a threat to South Korea with 11,000 artillery tubes aimed at the 17 million people of Greater Seoul. There is no need for American soldiers to be hostages to this.  South Korea is a rich country with a powerful military capable of taking care of itself. We do not need to be there any longer.
 
India:
The world's largest democracy is prickly, but the only country in Asia capable of standing up to China.  The Chicoms are building naval bases in India's Indian Ocean neighbors such as Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Burma, which they call their "String of Pearls" around India's neck. India is countering with a growing alliance with China's ancient neighbor enemy, Vietnam.
The next president should build on President Bush's initiative for military and economic ties between the US and India. That could include a joint India-US naval base in Cam Ranh Bay in Vietnam on the South China Sea.  The Vietnamese would welcome us. Among nations, there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.
The Great Game of the 19th century was between the Russian and British Empires colliding in Asia.  The 21st century players of this game are China and India. 

It's in our interests to be on India's side. 

Pakistan/Afghanistan
Both are make-believe countries with no legitimate rationale for sovereignty. The key problem in both is Pakistan's "government within a government" spy agency, the ISI - Inter-Services Intelligence. It is radical hate-America jihadi Islamist. It created and is in the heroin business with the Taliban. The first necessary condition towards any solution in this region is its dismantlement.

The other key problem is our State Department's anaphylactic allergy to regime and border changes. The best solution for Afghanistan would be for it to cease to exist as presently constituted. Actually, it is the same for Pakistan.

The Baluchis of southern Afghanistan and southwest Pakistan want their own Baluchistan (they have a marvelous harbor and the biggest gold deposits in the world according to BHP Biliton). They'd be joined by the Baluchis of southeast Iran and most likely by the Sindhis of adjoining Sind in southern Pakistan with the big city of Karachi.

The Tajiks of northern Afghanistan do not want their lives run by Pushtuns.  They'd much rather secede and join Tajikistan - which wants our help to stabilize and protect it from Russia. The Pushtuns straddle the Af-Pak border. They dream of being united in a separate Pushtunistan. Pakistan's ruling group, the Punjabis, would retain the Punjab.

But basically, as with the Koreas, this no longer should be our problem to solve. Af-Pak should be India's problems to solve – Pak nukes, after all, are aimed at India, not us. There is no real nation to build in Afghanistan, and our troops have no purpose dying for it.  Terrorist threats are the business of the CIA and spec-ops teams, not the Marines or Army. Again, we need to ally with India and assist them in what is their problem, not ours, to solve.

Iran:
This week we learned that Iran's government planned an act of war against us in our own capital.  It is hard to overestimate the number of problems in the world that would be solved with this government gone. And that's the solution: regime change. Apply a straightforward Reagan Doctrine strategy to overthrow Iran's mullah regime by sponsoring - with money and weapons - insurrections throughout the country.
 
Of Iran's 78 million, over 20 million are ethnic Azeri - almost three times the number of Azeris in Azerbaijan next door, whom they would love to join in a Greater Azerbaijan. There are at least eight million Kurds, who would fight tooth and nail against their Tehran oppressors if we gave them support. There are three million Ahwazi Arabs who populate Iran's oil patch, Kuhzestan, across the border from southern Iraq.
And of course there are the Persians themselves, some 33 million, whose mass street protests have been so brutally suppressed (and which the current president did not lift a finger or say a word to support).

A president determined to effect regime change in Iran would succeed quickly. The world's main state sponsor of Islamic terrorism would be no more.  Iraq would be free to flourish, Syria would be quickly liberated, the threat to the Saudi and Gulf oil fields would be removed, and of course, Iran's nuclear program would be destroyed in the process (Israeli spec-ops would see to that). It's a long list of positives and few if any negatives. All it needs is a president with the courage of Ronald Reagan.

Israel:
The pre-1967 demarcations our current president demands Israel return to were not borders - they were cease-fire lines where Israel was able to stop the Arab invasions after declaring its independence in 1948.  The Six-Day War recaptured Israel's legitimate territory, and that territory, including Golan and Judea-Samaria (the so-called "West Bank") should remain so. The Palestinians need to be told to STFU, that they no longer will be coddled and treated like spoiled children. They will recognize the state of Israel as legitimate and Jewish, or they can move to the Sinai, where Egypt will give them a Palestinian State since the Egyptians love Palestinians so much (the dirty secret is that the rest of the Arab world despises Palestinians and calls them rafida, Arabic for the N-word).

Arabs and Euroweenies who object can shove their Nazi Anti-Semitism up their noses.
That's the way a pro-American pro-Israel president would deal with Israel and the Arabs.

Turkey:
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan (air-doh-wan) is an Islamist megalomaniac fantasizing about recreating the Ottoman Caliphate. He is constantly threatening Israel, pretending his high school navy is a match for Israel's NFL navy. Yet he has gutted the Turkish officer corps and filled it with incompetent stooges. Erdogan needs a US president to explain to him that any duke-out between Turkey and Israel will result in his total humiliation, causing his overthrow and Turkey's expulsion from NATO.
 

Islam:
In addition to the above re: Israel and Iran, the next president should make a clear and public distinction between Islam the religion and Islamism the political ideology masquerading as a religion.  That Islamism will no longer be accorded the respect due an actual religion but treated with the contempt due any fascist ideology such as Communism or Nazism.

The next president should draw a distinct line between all variants of Islamism, such as Wahhabis, Deobandis, Khomeini Shias, and other forms of Jihadi and Sharia Islam, with peaceful and tolerant forms of Islam such as practiced by Sufis and Ismailis. It is with the latter that the future of Islam lies.
And for any Moslem in the US who agitates for Sharia law, he is welcome to do so - in a country that practices it, not in America. As for Islamic terrorism, its practitioners should receive a drone strike -a policy of the current president that should be continued.

The current president has, however, utterly failed to champion the rights and religious freedom of Christians in the Moslem world. A truly American foreign policy would do so.
 
Europe:
It's Old Europe, now known as the Eurozone, serving as an object lesson of the scam of the welfare state versus New Europe, the liberated former colonies of the Soviet Union who learned the hard way the evils of socialism and the virtues of capitalism.
A new president would focus attention on the Baltics, Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Albania, Croatia, and Slovenia. And he would politely educate the lands of Old Europe on welfare state socialism as a religion of envy. Ireland is already figuring this out and is recovering thereby.
Mexico:
As Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty significantly helped bring freedom to Soviet Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, the next president could institute a Radio Free Mexico (including satellite television and web sites) teaching free market and small business economics to Mexicans.

Mexico is the land of crony corrupt corporate fascist capitalism. As a result, most Mexicans live in medieval poverty while the richest man in the world is a Mexican - Carlos Slim - whose wealth was gained with state-protected monopolies.  A true free market economy would enable Mexicans to become prosperous in their own country.

The only real solution to the US illegal alien problem is for those aliens to want to stay in or go back to their own country where they are free to prosper.
In the meantime, the next president can use the National Guard, seriously armed, to secure our borders.  And if drone strikes are so good at killing terrorists, they should be equally good at killing leaders of the Mexican drug cartels. 
America and the World: The next president's foreign policy should be based on the opposite of the current president.  The current president is embarrassed to be an American. The next president should be bursting with pride to be an American. The current president has a compulsion to apologize for America, a compulsion to appease those who envy America and her historically unparalleled success.  The next president should feel America has nothing whatever to apologize for, and could not care less about those who envy her. 

The next president, as opposed to the current one, should have no qualms in laughing at the lunacy of Warmism, the theory of human CO2 production causing global doom. Warmism is the Fascist Left's replacement for Marxism as a rationale for their seizure of power over our lives.
CO2 is a trace greenhouse gas (95% of the world's atmospheric greenhouse gases is water vapor), and our human production is a trace of that. One tenth of one percent of greenhouse gases is made by man.  Humans do not cause global warming, period.
Explaining and rejecting this removes the obstacles to the world's most game-changing technology today - hydraulic fracturing or fracking of shale gas and shale oil deposits.  Once the political shackles on this technology are removed, America will not only be fully energy independent, but a major energy exporter to the world. The crony capitalist scam of "renewable energy" will be dead –no more Solyndras, wind farm boondoggles, and ethanol subsidies.

Oh, Russia's energy stranglehold on Europe will disappear and Israel will be an energy exporter.  Exposing the Fascist Left's hoax of Warmism and fully utilizing fracking technology will enable America and much of the world to live in an era of cheap and abundant energy - providing the material foundation for an ever-growing widespread prosperity.

Lastly, the next president needs to explain that America really does need to be the world's policeman. As America apologizes and retreats from the world, the wolves emerge from the forest, from China to Iran.  Only America can keep the world's wolves at bay.
We do not need to nation-build. We do not need our soldiers in Afghanistan. We do not need our soldiers in South Korea. We do not need our soldiers in Europe - Russian tanks (however many can still run) are not going to charge through the Fulda Gap. Once we effect regime change in Iran, we will not need our soldiers in Iraq.
We do need a strong, well-equipped and trained military, an army, an air force, and coast guard.  But what we need most of all is an immensely strong navy, along with special forces - Marines, Rangers, SEALs, Delta, et al. 
 
Without that, the world's wolf packs run wild and unchecked.

Fw: Walmart Container Ship crosses

This is just the beginning! COSCO, China’s biggest shipping Company, currently has two ships being built which
will carry 28,000 TEUs. The French Company CMA-CGM has three ships in the pipeline that will carry more
 than 23,000 TEUs. AND, none of them will fit into the majority of the world’s ports! Talk about a world of consumers!!



This news may help you understand what Trump meant when he said "  China is killing our economy.": 
 
Wal-mart Container  Ship crosses from China to U.S. in just  days.

 
Read  to  the end. See the editorial under the last  picture. That says it all!  The Emma Maersk, part of a  Danish shipping line, is shown in the photos below.


 


 

 
What a ship....no wonder 'Made in China  ' is displacing North American made goods big time.   This  monster transports goods across the Pacific in just 5  days!! Another two will soon be  commissioned.
 



 
These ships were commissioned by  Wal-Mart to get their imported goods from China.  They hold an incredible  15,000 containers and have a 207 foot deck  beam!!  The full crew is just 13 people on  a ship longer than a US Aircraft Carrier, which has a crew of  5,000.


 
With its 207' beam it is too big to  fit through the Panama or Suez Canals.
 


  
It is strictly transpacific. Cruise  speed: 31 knots.  The goods arrive four days  before the typical container ship (18-20 knots) on a China-to-California run. 91% of  Wal-Mart products are made in China.  So this behemoth is hugely  competitive even when carrying perishable goods.  The ship was built in five  sections. The sections are floated together and then  welded.  The command bridge is higher  than a 10-story building and has 11 cargo crane rigs that can operate  simultaneously unloading the entire ship in less than two  hours.
 



  
Additional info:
Country of  origin  - Denmark
Length - 1,302 ft
Width - 207 ft
Net  cargo - 123,200 tons 
Engine - 14 cylinders in-line diesel  engine  (110,000 BHP) 
Cruise Speed - 31 knots

 


  Cargo capacity - 15,000 TEU (1 TEU  = 20 cubic feet)
Crew - 13 people!
First trip - Sept. 08,  2006
Construction cost - US $145,000,000+
Silicone painting applied  to the ship bottom reduces water resistance and saves 317,000 gallons of diesel per  year.


 






      Editorial   Comment!
A recent documentary in late March, 2010  on the History Channel noted that all of these  containers are shipped back to China,EMPTY!   Yep, that's right.  We  send nothing back  on these ships. 
 
What does that tell you about the  current financial state of the WEST, to be in crisis?  So folks, just keep on  buying those imported goods (mostly gadgets) until you run out of  money.  Then you may wonder what REALLY is the cause of UNEMPLOYMENT     in the US, UK, Canada and even in  Australia...and not to say the least,,,,,your present job ...???? 


 
Enough  said !!!

Fwd: US Debt Reaches $19 Trillion

It was interesting to watch Bernie and Hillary in the Democratic Debate the other night fight over who supports President Obama's agenda more and who could heap more praise on his efforts.   As recent as the last election, Democrats were running away from any association at all with Obama. Now the two democratic presidential candidates are wanting to carry on his footsteps.
 
This on the heals of the US just surpassing the accumulation of $19 trillion in debt.  I have not seen much of this historical catastrophe in the news media.  You may be aware that there is a website that continuously tracks our debt, see http://www.usdebtclock.org/ . What this tells us is that the Obama presidency will go down in history as not only overseeing the first credit rating decline ever for our country, but also for more than doubling our obligated net debt.  Yes, in just 8 years he has more than doubled our country’s net obligated debt which has been accumulated since the inception of the country (which is 232 years). 

Senator Obama made this profound statement during his campaign before his first election:

“The problem is, is that the way Bush has done it over the last eight years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children, driving up our national debt from $5 trillion dollars for the first 42 presidents — number 43 added $4 trillion dollars by his lonesome, so that we now have over $9 trillion dollars of debt that we are going to have to pay back — $30,000 for every man, woman and child.
That’s irresponsible. It’s unpatriotic.”

While I was certainly disappointed with the fiscal results of the Bush administration, the Obama administration has made their efforts look like child's play.  After only his first term (4 years) as president, Obama presided over increasing our national debt by $5 trillion to over 15 trillion, which means he overspent in just four years what Bush overspent in two terms (8 years).  And with the debt continuing to rise uncontrollably under his watch, it is projected to exceed $20 trillion by the end of Obama's term.  I thought it would be interesting to update Obama's quote above for the projected $10 trillion plus he will add to Our National Debt.  It would read as follows:

“The problem is, is that the way Bush Obama has done it over the last eight years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children children and grandchildren, driving up our national debt from $5 $10 trillion dollars for the first 42 43 presidents — number 43 44 added $4 another$10 trillion dollars by his lonesome, so that we now have over $9 $20 trillion dollars of debt that we are going to have to pay back — $30,000 $60,000 for every man, woman and child. That’s irresponsible (??? see below). It’s unpatriotic (??? see below).”

So it is very logical for us to be asking, if the addition of $5 trillion of debt is irresponsible and unpatriotic, what is adding $10 trillion?  That is double the amount of Bush's increase and it also more than what all Presidents who preceded him added combined?  It is by no means a stretch after he made the aforementioned statement for someone to substitute for irresponsible either ignorant, inept or possibly even intentional behavior.  And to substitute for unpatriotic, the words criminal, act of terrorism or treason come to mind.  What ever words you choose to substitute, it certainly is indefensible and has left a large hole which will cripple our country and economy for a very long time.

There is an old truism that states "You can't borrow your way to prosperity."  Our financial statements are an indication of our our fiscal health.  And they indicate that we are a country that needs a serious change in the way we have been doing things.  We cannot afford to repeat what is leading us down this road to economic decline and ultimate ruin.
These past 15 years and especially the last 8 years clearly do not reflect a sustainable fiscal policy for our country.  The real question is: Are our voters mature enough to elect someone who will take this on?  No one likes to deal with cutbacks, but they must be done.  Wee can't lose sight of the forest for the trees.  I am fortunate to be able to reflect upon the fact that I have lived in the greatest country in the history of all mankind.  But for now I am watching the financial deterioration of the USA.  We are in great need of someone to lead the country who will responsibly address our fiscal health.

Fwd: President Obama doesn't understand economic realities

date:Wed, Mar 4, 2015 at 3:53 PM
subject:Fwd: President Obama doesn't understand economic realities

President doesn't understand economic realities

The Philadelphia Inquirer – published Tuesday, March 3, 2015


In his 2010 State of the Union address, President Barack Obama promised to double exports over five years to “support” 2 million jobs in America. A year later he claimed the new U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement would “support” 70,000 jobs at home. And today, his Commerce Department boasts that U.S. exports “support” 11.3 million jobs.

As the fictional Inigo Montoya famously said on screen, “I don’t think that word means what you think it means.” That’s because total U.S. exports have increased only 48 percent since 2009, while a 60 percent jump in our trade deficit with South Korea has triggered, according to one estimate, the loss of nearly 60,000 American jobs.

Now, as Obama pushes for “fast-track” authority to ram through Congress the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, Americans should ask: Are we better off today than we were 20 years ago?

That’s when the North America Free Trade Agreement and the World Trade Organization ushered in the globalized economy favored by Wall Street, multinational corporations, and transnational governmental bureaucracies. And when the majority of workers began to see their labor-force participation and employment prospects plummet, wages and benefits stagnate, and living standards decline.

Indeed, the fallout from an $11.2 trillion cumulative in-goods trade deficit since 1994 — which has stunted gross domestic product growth while gutting mostly manufacturing jobs — has hit rank-and-file Americans the hardest.

While the government’s most-recent tally counts 5,590 jobs for every $1 billion of exports, the bureaucrats haven’t developed a multiplier to capture jobs lost to imports — a much larger figure. Yet that hasn’t kept resourceful economists from quantifying the downside of our gaping trade imbalances.

According to conservative estimates by Robert Scott of the Economic Policy Institute, granting China “most favored nation” status drained away 3.2 million American jobs, including 2.4 million in manufacturing, between 2001 and 2013. He pegs net job losses due to our trade deficit with Japan ($78.3 billion in 2013) at 896,600, as well as an additional 682,900 from the Mexico-U.S. trade-deficit run-up from 1994 through 2010.

The combined losses to these three nations alone are stunning: 4.8 million jobs, including 320,600 jobs in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, whose cumulative trade deficits since 2008 exceed $878 billion, according to www.tradingawayjobs.us.

Meanwhile, a macro-analysis of 2013 data by Dean Baker of the Center for Economic Policy Research estimates that eliminating the entire U.S. trade deficit would create 6.3 million jobs, both directly and through multiplier effects. Baker offers no state breakdown, but applying Scott’s state-to-national job-loss ratios suggest that balanced trade would mean 422,600 more jobs for the two states.
Obama is not alone in ignoring these warnings. Sen. Marco Rubio, R., Fla., contends in his book “American Dreams” that “fair and reciprocal” trade arrangements deliver coveted jobs at home. That may be true, but NAFTA-style pacts and the proposed TPP and TTIP are neither fair nor reciprocal. Perhaps the 2016 hopeful and other Republicans want to help achieve the deindustrialization of America that would result if Obama secures the two largest globalist treaties in history.

Yet there’s more at stake than jobs and factories. Two decades of trade entanglements have rendered the country, in the words of Daniel DiMicco, former Nucor Steel CEO, “a dwindling superpower teetering on the brink of second-class economy status.” Granting the president fast-track and ratifying his trade deals would complete the “transformation” of America to which Obama has devoted his presidency.

Unless more knowledgeable voices emerge in Washington to block his overreach, a strong and independent America — the only guarantee of our liberty, ideals, and standard of living — will soon be history.

 Interesting; Time consuming to do this but I think, worth while

 
          And don't forget that Smithfield Farms, the largest pork
producing farm in the USA was sold in September to China with the
unanimous support of its stockholders!!  The hogs will still be raised
here, but slaughtered and packaged for sale there before being sent
back here.  This includes labels: of Morrell, Eckrich, Krakus, Cudahy,
Premium Hams, Cook's, Gwaltney. The same with many chickens.  They
can now be shipped there, but when they come back all that needs to be
labeled is that they… WERE RAISED IN THE USA.  Not that they were
processed in China!!!  Our great FDA at work again.  The chickens will
be all processed and most sold to fast food restaurants for sandwiches,
along with schools and supermarkets.  The China slaughter and processing
are not nearly equal – and, by far - to the requirements here.

          Buy USA or Canada only.
           
 BAD FOOD.

           We recently learned that Starkist Tuna is now owned by
Korea
, and is in big conflict with the U. S. concerning quality, safety,
and records, which Korea refuses to produce.

           Read several articles on Google about this, and even one
that was defending the eating of tilapia said to avoid the fish that
came from China? Also, I had just returned home from buying
Albertson's 4-day special of 4 bags of frozen tilapia for the price of
one? Sure enough, on the top of the bags, it read "farm raised", and
on the bottom in small print it said:" China "… read all the way
down...

           Recently a Food inspector on TV... said he had lived
overseas and he had seen the filthy conditions their foods are raised
and processed in. It is enough to make you throw-up. Some foreign
workers have to wear masks as they work in these places, because the
food is so rotten and filthy, it makes them want to throw up. Many of
their fish on Fish Farms are fed raw sewage daily. He said he has seen
so much filth throughout their food growing and processing that he
would "never" eat any of it. They raise this filth, put some food
coloring and some flavorings on it, then they ship it to the USA &
Canada for YOU to consume and feed to YOUR families. They have no Food
& Safety Inspectors. They ship it to you to buy and poison your
families and friends
.

          Imported food we eat and the junk we buy:

          Green Giant frozen vegetables are from China, and so are
most of Europe’s Best.

          Arctic Gardens are Okay. So is Birdseye.

           Never buy the grocery store garlic unless it is clearly
marked from USA or Canada, the other stuff is grown in people’s… dung
(even worse than chicken poop). China is the largest producer of
garlic in the world
; U. S. is next.

           Buy only local honey, much honey is shipped in huge
containers from China
 and re-packed here.

          Cold-FX is grown and packed in China and is full of fecal
bacteria. Doesn't work anyway, big scam.

          If the country of origin is not clearly marked “beware”.

          If produce, ask an employee.

           Watch out for packages which state "prepared for", "packed
by" or "imported by". We don't understand the lack of mandatory
labeling, especially the produce.

           The country of origin should be clearly shown on the item
in the store
.

          Go to the local farmers' markets in season and keep a wary
eye open the rest of the year.

          Please read this very carefully, and read to the very
bottom. It's important for all of us.

 
          How is it possible to ship food from China cheaper than
having it produced in the U. S. or Canada?

           FOR EXAMPLE THE "OUR FAMILY" BRAND OF MANDARIN
ORANGES SAYS RIGHT ON THE CAN 'FROM CHINA'. SO, FOR A
FEW MORE CENTS, BUY THE LIBERTY BRAND.

          GOLD BRAND OR THE DOLE IS FROM CALIFORNIA.

           Beware, Costco sells canned peaches and pears in a plastic
jar that come from China
.

          ALL "HIGH LINER" AND MOST OTHER FROZEN FISH PRODUCTS COME
FROM CHINA OR INDONESIA. THE PACKAGE MAY SAY "PACIFIC SALMON" ON
THE FRONT, BUT LOOK FOR THE SMALL PRINT. MOST OF THESE PRODUCTS
COME FROM FISH FARMS IN THE ORIENT WHERE THERE ARE NO REGULATIONS
ON WHAT IS FED TO THESE FISH
.

           Recently The Montreal Gazette had an article by the Canadian Government on 
how Chinese feed the fish: They suspend chicken
wire crates over the fish ponds, and the fish feed on chicken dung.

          If you search the Internet about what the Chinese feed
their fish, you'll be alarmed; e. g, growth hormones, expired
anti-biotic from humans? Never buy any type of fish or shellfish that
comes from these countries: Vietnam, China, Philippines
.

          Check this out personally.

           Steinfeld's Pickles are made in India - just as bad!

           Another example is in canned mushrooms. No-Name brand came
from Indonesia…

          Also check those little fruit cups. They used to be made in
Canada, in the Niagara region, until about 2 years ago. They are now
packaged in China.  Most sold in Aldi stores
.

           While the Chinese export inferior and even toxic products,
dangerous toys, and goods to be sold in North American markets, the
media wrings its hands! Yet, 70% of North Americans believe that the
trading privileges afforded to the Chinese should be suspended.

          Well, duh! Why do you need the government to suspend
trading privileges?

          SIMPLY DO IT YOURSELF, CANADA AND THE U. S.

           Simply look on the bottom of every product you buy, and if
it says 'Made in China' or 'PRC' (and that now includes Hong Kong),
simply choose another product, or none at all. You will be amazed at
how dependent you are on Chinese products, and you will be equally
amazed at what you can do without.

          THINK ABOUT THIS:

           If 200 million North Americans refuse to buy just $20 each
of Chinese goods, that's a billion dollar trade imbalance resolved in
our favor... fast! The downside? Some Canadian/American businesses
will feel a temporary pinch from having foreign stockpiles of
inventory.

          Just one month of trading losses will hit the Chinese for
8% of their North American exports. Then they will at least have to
ask themselves if the benefits of their arrogance and lawlessness are
worth it.

          START NOW and don't stop and tell your friends.

          Send this to everybody you know. Let's show them that we
are intelligent, and NOBODY can take us for granted.

Start reading labels more closely and buy something else even if
it cost a few cents more...
