China is Not an Ally


The administration and many Americans seem to think that we are not put at risk because of the fact that China practically owns the United States. But we should all be worried and we should all recognize that China is not our friend, and likely won't ever be. The People's Republic has done some things that many Americans have never heard of, and yet these things put our lives at risk.

As reported by 60 Minutes the Chinese have infiltrated our power grid and it's quite possible that they could cause the grid to self-destruct leaving us without power for months. Are you worried yet? Our lives are so dependant on electricity pulled straight from the grid, but what worries me is how dependant is our government? Honestly, most government buildings have back-up generators, I'm sure, but now do you see how dangerous this could be?

Furthermore China is one of the few countries lending us money so that our government can operate. I tend to think that they don't loan us money out of kindness but rather out of some plot. "People become slaves of their debt" this is one my favorite quotes and sadly it's becoming more and more relevant. What does the White House think that China's gonna do when we can't pay-off our debt, because I guarantee you they won't be to kind or forgiving, these are the same people that burn Buddhist monks alive.

So what do we do, how do we secure our country from the PRC? Well the obvious course of action is to cut spending, because if we can pay off our debt (sounds impossible right?) China will no longer have any ability to blackmail our government into doing something-an action that can't be allowed.

China wasn't our friend in Korea, they weren't our friend in Vietnam and they aren't our friend now. That's a simple concept that is completely true, but many people in Washington can't grasp it. We must secure our power grid, and we must pay-off our debt otherwise we will become "slaves to our debt".
