  1. Sorry for another long reply Russ. Hope this one is okay – just a Passionate Love for our Country this Morning.

    Its all about the CCP’s long-awaited New Silk Road & Bridge Initiative of the Americas, the Clintons’ 1993 NAFTA Plan, the George H.W. Bush 1992 approved NAFTA Super Highway, and Afghanistan will be next, https://www.constructionweekonline.com/projects-tenders/267141-adnoc-awards-245m-epc-contracts-to-upgrade-oil-lines-terminal.

    For now, as for the Americas, in 2018, Panama awarded the CCP a contract to Manage and Operate the Panama Canal zone (from the Atlantic to the Pacific) in 2018, https://foreignpolicy.com/2019/05/07/the-panama-canal-could-become-the-center-of-the-u-s-china-trade-war/. And before such time, in 2012, President Obama rendered the CCP an Ownership, Management, and Operations Contract on Major US based Ports of Call, like Terminal Island in Los Angeles/Long Beach/San Pedro California, right next to our US Naval Air Station in San Pedro.

    Thus, the CCP was staging all along to Control our Seaways in preparation for their Global New Silk Road and Bridge Initiative. Thank God and President Trump in October 2019 (right about the time the CCP Virus was released) for trying to stop the Terminal Island Deal. https://www.universalcargo.com/u-s-forces-china-out-of-port-of-long-beach-terminal-ownership/#:~:text=It%20all%20started%20with%20a%2040-year%20container%20terminal,port%20behind%20the%20nearby%20Port%20of%20Los%20Angeles.

    The Clinton-Obama-Biden Trojan-Horse was finally pushed into position to make it all happen, and now the CCP is strangling our Import/Export, shipping and receiving, and logistics, Ports of Call. The CCP is squeezing US now.

    • Cold War I was better than Cold War II- the U.S. was the leader of the ‘free world’ -at least rhetorically- unlike today where we accommodate our ‘elected’ slave masters with open arms.instead of firearms.

  2. The CCP is the proxy warrior for the ((cabal)) aka Rothchilds and Blackrock nothing more. If the serpent class money changers didn’t want it it wouldn’t be happening> The puppet and chief is also just an empty vessel the international jew uses as its mouthpiece. So blaming the CCP is on par with zio stooges like A Jones or PJW or any other slight of hand disingenuous controlled opposition. Its been ((their )) plan for a long while now that is why the puppets like Clinton did NAFTA, moving all production to China. We must stop blaming the characters in this theater and blame the script writers, those on this planet anyway. I know some believe its off world evil, who knows?
