Subject: Foreign Trade Zones

This is an urgent message!  Read this and spread the word!  Subject:
Foreign Trade Zones.

This is unbelievable at first, but you will soon
realize that there are several motives for the global communists to
physically weave our United States territory together with communist
China. Read On! Here's what is going on!

Each and every one of our state governors has approved and allocated a
certain amount of acres of their U.S. state land to be inhabited by
Chinese communists --communists straight from China!  They are to set up
little towns and live here, supposedly for the purpose of producing
Chinese products for sale in the U.S.A.  The land the states are giving
them for their little towns will be considered "foreign territory"!!!  We
are told that the laws of the state (in which these Chinese communists
dwell) will apply to the communist Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ).  Comment: If
so, why are they allowed in here!??! Isn't the whole set up unlawful???

There are 257 of these little communist towns to be built all over the
United States.  Go to this website and see the list of the states, and how
many FTZ's are to be erected in each and every state!  Our nation is
being peppered all over with these communist closed towns called "zones"!
This insane brainstorm by Washington, D.C. officials was just recently
discovered by alert citizens in the State of Idaho, where an FTZ is being
built there, just south of Boise, Idaho, possibly 30,000 acres of Idaho is
going to be used for that FTZ.  Check this site quickly before it is
removed:
                         http://ia.ita.doc.gov/ftzpage/letters/ftzlist-map.html


When you get to this website, be prepared by having enough paper to print
40 pages, listing all the FTZ's to be built over the whole United States!
257 of these FTZ's!  It is absolute insanity!! How gullible are we???  The
excuse given for creating communist towns all over our nation is that
these Chinese people will produce products for sale in the United States,
and the FTZ will eliminate overseas shipping costs of the products they
create!  A bizarre excuse!!! Can't we manufacture our own products
anymore with American workers?  How foolish are we to allow this???
Remember the hard-learned lesson taught to gullible people back in ancient
times, when the Trojan Horse  was built and they pulled it past their
protective gates???  Do we Americans look THAT STUPID to the Chinese and
to our Washington,D.C. leaders???

It will not mean jobs for Americans.  All the help will be Chinese!
Besides, it is to be classed as "foreign territory", remember! You won't
know what is really going on inside the enclave.  Is there any danger for
Americans to allow this? What do you think?!!!

It is a known fact that China has been preparing for war against the
United States! Many guns are pointed at us.  Why should these FTZ's be
allowed??? What is the real reason?? Is it that Washington, D.C. needs
foreign help to disarm American citizens (who have privately-owned
firearms) so that the federal administration can comply with Public Law
87-297, signed into law by J.F. Kennedy for "general and complete
disarmament of the United States"? It is a law continually financed by
Washington, D.C. That's the law that calls for us to have no more army, no
more navy, and no more air force,  all of which is to be transferred over
on a permanent basis to the communist-dominated United Nations! That law
also prohibits all firearms from being owned by American citizens!
Without firearms, there will be no more liberty, freedom, or justice in
government.  Guns are the main core of the check and balance system.  Our
nation's founders realized that firearms in the possession of the people
are the indispensible safeguard upon which all of the other rights in the
"Bill of Rights" depend!  That's why the Second Amendment was meant to be
honored,  treasured, and preserved!


Some people are wondering if the American land in these FTZ's  is being
given as collateral for the huge debt we owe to China?  Some people are
asking: "Does China own us and is our land collateral in case we don't pay
the debt?"  China is allowing American businesses to get established in
China as FTZ's.  Americans must build the structures in China, and they
must employ all Chinese people to do the work in what is built there.
After a short amount of years, the Americans must vacate, leave the
buildings and let the Chinese keep the technology and the active operation
as on-going.  What this amounts to is transferring American technology and
management to communist China.

 
FTZ's are also known as SEZ's (Special Economic Zones) Please relay this
information to all your friends.  Someone has to answer for this on state
and federal levels!    What a set-up for sabotage, espionage, and a study
on how to take over the whole United States in a war!  Because the
newspapers and other media are controlled, they will not be reporting on
this unless there is a great public outcry.  Remember when being a
communist was a punishable crime in the U.S.A.  My, how we have changed!
Complete reversal.  Best to take this information to local public
officials as well as all your contacts.  Please do not delay spreading
this information. Check with Idaho Eagle Forum also for updates

U.S. town demolished over lead contamination

KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Reuters) – Most of its residents left, the school closed, the city government was disbanded and starting this week nearly every commercial building in Picher, Oklahoma, will be demolished.
But the owner of the last-remaining open business in Picher, which has been vacated over the years because of lead contamination, is not ready to go.

"It's not time for me to leave yet," said Gary Linderman, owner of Old Miner's Pharmacy in what is left of central Picher, located in the northeast corner of the state.

"I have an obligation to people. We are all creatures of habit and closing might throw them off."
In addition to providing prescriptions, the pharmacy is the only place left in town to buy snack food, beverages, over-the-counter medicine and other necessities.

Linderman declined a buyout from the federal government, which declared Picher a hazardous waste site in 1981 and has bought out about 900 homeowners and businesses. Crews demolished a funeral home, restaurant, thrift shop, apartment building and other structures this week, with more to come.

Besides lead contamination, Picher has suffered in recent years from sinkholes from old mines that threaten to swallow the community. Three years ago, a tornado destroyed about 150 homes, chasing more people away.

Picher's population has shrunk from 1,640 in 2000 to only a handful of residents today. The school district and city government dissolved in 2009 and the post office closed.
The town had more than 14,000 residents in the 1920s.

Because of historic significance, a church, mining museum, auction house and a building where mining equipment was sold will remain standing, though they are abandoned. Linderman's building will be surrounded by vacant lots in what used to be downtown, but he doesn't seem to mind.
"I'm a farm boy," he said. "I'm used to the wide open spaces."

Why has Egypt's army not confronted the protests?

WASHINGTON — As unprecedented protests have led to national chaos in Egypt, the Egyptian army has taken no decisive action to end the conflict, leaving experts to wonder which of four possibilities are governing the army's actions.


Does the military sympathize with the protesters or is it just waiting for the right moment to intervene? Is it divided internally about the proper response or does it see itself not as the protector of President Hosni Mubarak's regime but of the Egyptian state?


"There doesn't seem to be a signal clear line that the military is taking," said Joel Beinin, a professor of Middle East history at Stanford University. "They haven't been ordered to do anything one way or the other. We are still in a freeze moment. Everyone understands the Mubarak regime has lost credibility. My guess is the army is deciding what it will do next."

Egypt Protests Organized by the U.S.?

RT America
Protests inspired by the revolt in Tunisia have dominoed along Egypt, Yemen and Algeria with citizens calling for governmental change. Webster Tarpley, an investigative journalist, argues the CIA, and other intelligence services from the US and other former colonial powers are behind uprisings in Egypt and elsewhere in the Middle East.

Egypt protests: America's secret backing for rebel leaders behind uprising

The American government secretly backed leading figures behind the Egyptian uprising who have been planning “regime change” for the past three years, The Daily Telegraph has learned.



The Telegraph

9:23PM GMT 28 Jan 2011

The American Embassy in Cairo helped a young dissident attend a US-sponsored summit for activists in New York, while working to keep his identity secret from Egyptian state police.
On his return to Cairo in December 2008, the activist told US diplomats that an alliance of opposition groups had drawn up a plan to overthrow President Hosni Mubarak and install a democratic government in 2011.
He has already been arrested by Egyptian security in connection with the demonstrations and his identity is being protected by The Daily Telegraph.
The crisis in Egypt follows the toppling of Tunisian president Zine al-Abedine Ben Ali, who fled the country after widespread protests forced him from office.

Inequality In America Is Worse Than In Egypt, Tunisia Or Yemen

Washington’s Blog
Jan 30, 2011

Egyptian, Tunisian and Yemeni protesters all say that inequality is one of the main reasons they’re protesting.

However, the U.S. actually has much greater inequality than in any of those countries.
Specifically, the “Gini Coefficient” – the figure economists use to measure inequality – is higher in the U.S.
Inequality In America Is Worse Than In Egypt, Tunisia Or Yemen Gini Coefficient World CIA Report 2009
[Click for larger image]
Gini Coefficients are like golf – the lower the score, the better (i.e. the more equality).
According to the CIA World Fact Book, the U.S. is ranked as the 42nd most unequal country in the world, with a Gini Coefficient of 45.
In contrast:
  • Tunisia is ranked the 62nd most unequal country, with a Gini Coefficient of 40.
  • Yemen is ranked 76th most unequal, with a Gini Coefficient of 37.7.
  • And Egypt is ranked as the 90th most unequal country, with a Gini Coefficient of around 34.4.
And inequality in the U.S. has soared in the last couple of years, since the Gini Coefficient was last calculated, so it is undoubtedly currently much higher.
So why are Egyptians rioting, while the Americans are complacent?
Well, Americans – until recently – have been some of the wealthiest people in the world, with most having plenty of comforts (and/or entertainment) and more than enough to eat.
But another reason is that – as Dan Ariely of Duke University and Michael I. Norton of Harvard Business School demonstrate – Americans consistently underestimate the amount of inequality in our nation.
