User ID: 77694199 United States 08/26/2019 10:52 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've boycotted Chinese products for years because of forced abortion and animal cruelty, namely Yulin, but other stories I've heard about bears, tigers, etc. And now it's come out about organ harvesting from prisoners. And how they treat their workers. And they are big polluters. I won't buy anything from China.

The sooner those evil shits become extinct, the better of the world will be. Kamala Harris is not a Natural Born Citizen. She's illegally running. Used by the Founders... Book I of The Law of Nations, Chapter XIX, § 212 (Joseph Chitty numbering) – “Citizens and natives” reads: 'The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights.' 1758 Emerich de Vattel Oh' What the Hell, do I look like I want to die in some nursing home one day... America must have 4 new Constitutional Amendments... 1. Drug Tests and Mental Evaluations on all politicians and judges randomly five times per year. 2. Term Limits for Federal politicians and judges. 3. Mental and health standards for Supreme Court Justices and retirement age set. 4. A 'Star Chamber' of elected Natural Born Citizens (no attorney's) to ivestigate, try, and prosecute the politicians and government employee's as they see fit.

I want that promise delivered. I've been a long time advocate of buy local and buy American made and anti-globalist. -50% A Decade of Dangerous Food Imports from China China is the world’s largest agricultural economy and increasingly is feeding the world. A leading producer and exporter of items like fish, apple juice, and processed fruits and vegetables, China’s food exports to the United States skyrocketed over the last two decades. But the Wild West capitalism propelling China’s economy has often been fueled by excess pollution, treacherous sweatshops, and dangerous foods and products that pose significant risks to consumers in China and worldwide. China’s food manufacturers often cut corners, substitute dangerous ingredients and compromise safety to boost sales. The anything-goes business model is systemic across China’s manufacturing sector, leaving consumers, workers and the environment vulnerable to a host of risks. Workers in the industrial Pearl River Delta lose or break an estimated 40,000 fingers annually, and even iconic brands like Apple utilize toxic chemicals that injure workers. Industrial pollution has fouled China’s water with more than 30 million tons of chemical discharges in 2007. China is the world’s biggest polluter, and the number of environmental accidents in the country doubled between 2009 and 2010. Industrial pollution further compromises food safety because effluent-tainted waterways irrigate crops and contaminate fish farms. Unsurprisingly, China’s slipshod industrial model churns out dangerous food and consumer products. One provincial government survey found that less than half of food and consumer goods met basic hygiene standards, meaning more than half could be dangerous to consumers. When China joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) in December 2001, these unsafe products began to circulate more widely in the global marketplace. ... The WTO’s structure promotes commerce at the expense of other goals like food safety. It limits the ability of member countries to establish health, safety or environmental rules that hamper global commerce. When stronger safety rules slow trade, the WTO acts as the final arbiter of disputes, usually ruling in favor of corporate interests. Joining the WTO has allowed China to pave billion-dollar inroads into American kitchens. These food imports both compete with American-grown crops and expose consumers to a host of food-borne hazards. Many Chinese crops are undercutting U.S. farmers as Americans eat more Chinese imports — especially fruits and vegetables. As the world’s largest apple producer, for example, China’s apple juice concentrate exports supply two-thirds of the apple juice that Americans consume — more than 400 million gallons annually. By 2007, half the garlic Americans ate was grown in China, although that figure fell to 23 percent in 2009 as the recession and falling dollar dampened import demand. Before China entered the WTO, the United States produced about 70 percent of the garlic Americans consumed. Over the past decade, imports of Chinese garlic more than quadrupled, while U.S. garlic cultivation dropped by a third. Full article here: [link to www.foodandwaterwatch.org (secure)] |
