'Red Handed' - The Great Betrayal
2022-02-01
[Breitbart] Breitbart News senior contributor and Government Accountability Institute (GAI) President Peter Schweizer’s latest investigative exposé, Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win, reveals how 23 former U.S. senators and congressman have lobbied for Chinese military or intelligence-linked companies after leaving office.

Many lawmakers cash in after leaving office by becoming lobbyists for corporations and other special interests. But one would hope that they would not become advocates for America’s primary economic and political adversary — communist China — by lobbying for outcomes that run counter to the United States’ long-term interests.

However, Schweizer’s book reveals that many former congressional leaders, committee chairman, and rank-and-file members are lobbying for Chinese intelligence and military-linked companies.

The following 23 former members of Congress — the majority of whom are Republicans — have lobbied for Chinese military or intelligence-linked companies.

#3  Imagine the fallout if these people pulled this crap at the height of the Cold War with the Soviet Union, or even now with Russia. I understand how the old Soviet leaders like Khrushchev and Brezhnev were cold hearted murdering bastards, thugs and evil dictators. They were openly hostile toward democracy and the way of life we enjoy which at least strives for liberty and justice. Putin is certainly carrying on in that tradition.

What I don't understand is how Xi Jinping is any better.

But then, of course I do understand. Xi Jinping has money.

#2  Dunno if I can read this book. I always just assume it's worse than I could possibly imagine. Then I see crap like this and I know. Yes, it is far beyond my wildest imagination. I get depressed just thinking about it.
