Steve Bannon, Mark Levin Cite Freedom Center Reporting on Pentagon China Appeaser

President Trump's foreign policy is once again being hijacked out from under him.

Staffing a new administration is a big job. That’s why having trusted people doing the staffing is important.

Unfortunately, as I document in today’s article, “The Koch Appeasers Taking Over Trump’s Defense Department”, a network of Koch-funded people whose foreign policy is at odds with America First are filling up the Pentagon.

John A. Byers argued that “peaceful coexistence and mutually beneficial prosperity” with China must be the watchwords for a second Trump administration. “The vastness and persistent growth of China’s trade” suggests a “future of mutually assured production rather than mutually assured destruction.”

Byers came out of the Albritton Center for Grand Strategy at the Bush School of Government which was funded by the Charles Koch Foundation. He has now been appointed the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Southeast Asia even though his Koch policy proposals run counter to Trump’s.

“A second Trump administration must also avoid a heightened trade war with China,” Byers had argued, “that will harm American prosperity”.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

Hey, d!ckhead, China does not have a representative government nor do they have a free market.

China has a totalitarian Communist regime.  There are no personal liberties.  There is no private property.  There is no God from whom come the Natural Rights of Man.  They are breaking into US Government and Private computer systems to steal sensitive information, intellectual property, and competitive advantage.

The Chi-coms' trade policy is to use unfair trade practices to, industry by industry, put the competition out of business and dominate it - exercising monopoly power, pricing power, and geo-political economic extortion.

It's the short-sighted avarice that makes people like the Koch Brothers useful idiots for the Chinese Communist Party.  They figure that as long as they are rich and have influence, that they'll be safe while the remainder of the people are put at risk.  Communists only tolerate idiots as long as they are useful.  Once they are no longer useful, they become expendible like everyone else.

Yes, the Chi-coms sell us cheap stuff - for now - while hollowing out our defense-technology-industrial supply chains.  Since the Chi-coms are Communist, loss means nothing to them because it is other people's lives, savings, and futures that are lost for the good of the Party.

For the Chi-coms, every greedy American businessman is a potential Manchurian Executive.
