In Jan 2012, I stumbled onto an article on "Foreign-Trade Zones." As I read, it became clear that thousands of acres of American land in all 50 states + Puerto Rico had been given to the Communist Chinese by our federal government! The Governors of each state were ordered to give thousands of acres of American soil to the federal government, which was then given to the Chinese. The areas are called FOREIGN-TRADE ZONES. The author went on to explain that as early as Jan 2011, an Idaho couple came to a large fenced area in No. Idaho bordering on the Canadian border. They began asking questions up the chain of political command. It was ultimately the Governor who explained that the "zones" were given to Communist China to build manufacturing plants of various kinds, & that they would contain the plants, the workers (all Chinese), residential areas for said workers, w/ stores, schools, law enforcement, & other utilities that would support the product manufacturers. The zone near the border was an area of 40,000 acres, off-limits to American citizens! It was stated that the land was now Chinese Sovereign~Communist Chinese. I found more information at another site which showed a map of the United States in color-coded markings & a list from A-Z of all 157 of these zones. Very detailed, with grantees, & fax, phone #'s. In my home state of WA, there are 13 of these situated near deep water ports & military bases ~ of which we have a lot. This is supposed to benefit America as the products made & sold here would forgo shipping charges. However, we are still required to pay taxes, & something called "revierse tariff charges." When I began to print out the list, it took 40 pages of printer paper. I began contacting my elected officials. Governor Gregoire stiffly informed me that I was mistaken in calling them "foreign" as they were actually "FREE" & nothing NEW. We had been in some form of trade agreements for years. No, I never received an answer to my very straight forward question as to whether these were Chinese Sovereign. Senator Patty Murray never responded, but she rarely does. I admit I skipped over Maria Cantwell. She's one of obama's biggest fans. The person who told me the truth is a man who is running for Representative for the 8th district here in King Co. ~ Ernest Huber. Yes, he was aware & extremely concerned about the presense of Communist China on AMERICAN SOIL. Not a direct quote, but he said "We are either looking at a ton of "little Chinese cities" or an invasion of the "RED ARMY." I am posting the link to the map & list. If anyone knows more about this, I'd very much like to hear it. In my opinion, this is tantamount to treason. Every one of our Governors is complicit. Sickening. Frightening. And, some other adjectives I'm not allowed to use here. The link:
