[quote]China bought Smithfield, the largest pork processor in the US (world?) back around 2013[/quote

Yes, indeed. When this happened, it was pretty big news here in NC. I have not bought so much as a slice of bacon from Smithfield since then.

Folks better wake-up .. fast.

Why do we fricking allow this?


Allow this? We encourage it.
Have you heard of the EB-5 program? For approx. $500K "investment" foreign nationals, including the Chinese, can get a Green Card or U.S. residency.

A crazy amount of Manhattan real estate is owned by foreigners under this program and otherwise, sending real estate prices sky high, and not affordable even for the upper middle-class ($2 Million for a 2 bedroom apartment).

All this is supported by obviously by the real estate industry and also the NYC government, since it pumps their coffers (even though they supposedly support affordable housing ).

Once you realize we aren't the we you think we are. Your government doesn't recognize you or I as their fellow countrymen like most Americans would assume. This country is mostly just a charade. We are simply a piece of land owned by a bunch of global elite oligarchs, and they let us stay here and live as their serfs as long as we don't rock the boat.

In exchange they have provided us a certain level of comfort and quality of life to placate all of us, which has worked to keep the masses of this country fairly docile and soft.

We should be seizing every freaking thing China owns in the US as reparations for COVID.

I do like the fact that the guys that sold the land have been getting a ration of shite from their neighbors.

Needs to be far more done than that however. Restricting foreign sales for one.

In that second article I linked I see they own a lot of land in OK and TX. Any idea if it's land with oil leases?

Told to me by someone who lived in China for a long time “China doesn’t need our farmland cause they the best at it over there…”. Well it’s either taking away our food, needing farmland, or 100% tactical for wwiii. Choose.

At the time they decide, all farming stops and all available food is shipped somewhere else. You control that amount of food you can dictate what people will do.

The old saying "what does that have to do with the price of tea in China" has now become unbelievably relevant.

All to plan.

Just wait. If Biden gets his his inheritance/estate tax, family farms will be a thing of the past.

It is to gain control of the food production. Control the food, control the people.
