Bush Aide Involved in Chinese Bid for Unocal
Somehow this does not surprise me. What is wrong with this administration? I'm begining to think that the U.S. Government has already been taken over, with out one shot being fired!

{Snip}
President Bush's top independent intelligence adviser, James C. Langdon Jr., met last winter with investment bankers in China to help secure his law firm's role in lobbying for a state-run Chinese energy firm and its bid for the U.S. oil company Unocal Corp., according to a report in the Washington Post.

... Its about money and greed. This administration wants the deal to go through, because there is money to made by big businesses in he US of A, but at the same time they are selling us out because it is a bad move for our security.

They should all be tried traitors!

6. Unfortunately, it's far more than just "short-term gain." Some of...
these people truly believe that global capitalism is the one sure route to world peace -- that once the world economy is globalized into interlocking multinational monopolies, "the marketplace" will render war economically impossible: One Corporation! One World! One Bush!

(Hence der Bushler's scheme for imposing "democracy" -- by which he really means the oligarchy and serfdom essential to globalism -- on the remainder of the world.)

9. One problem though...
... I think China may be thinking the same way.

China is already trying to get an economic strangle hold on the U.S, and in my opinion it is as good as done. We are being set up by the Chinese Government and this administration is ignoring it.

1) Manipulation of the currency.

2) US Government outsourcing to China.

3) Selling out of US secrets and technology to China.

4) China has manipulated and is now in control of the worlds steel. (Steel that is used to make war machines.)

5) And if the oil deal goes through they will own most of the oil drilling rights in Alaska and Canada. If they have control of this they will be in control of oil prices, as well as in control of ALL US oil.

We have and are being set up by the Chinese, and it has been happening for years. This administration was blind, and now they only care about making a buck for hem selves. They are all traitors!

7. This is more in line with what I understood the Bush cabal's involvement
with Unacol to be. Unacol and Bushes go back a way.

files:

The Bush family's connections to Unacol date back to the '80's, when Bush associate Nicholas Brady helped defend the firm from a takeover attempt by Mesa Petroleum. http://www.thedubyareport.com/iraq2.html (March of the Neocons)

The Bush Justice Dept. (Ashcroft) filed a friend of the court brief opposing a lawsuit against Unacol that alleged abuses on behalf of an indigenous community, claiming among other things, that the suit was a "threat to national security."
