Exactly....
I have being saying that for decades, that any, and repeat any product that can impact national security MUST be produced on U.S. soil.

Quoted in bold because it really is THAT important.
We are drowning in regulatuons, and this f'n government can't pass even one single one to protect our country.
It's not that we can't,because doing so would be as easy as falling off a log,IF there weren't so many congresscritters bought and paid for by the international bankers that finance their campaigns and provide them with legal help as well as bags of cash.
Running for congress or the US Senate without the financial backing and the media support of the international bankers would be akin to jumping off a tall building and flapping your hands because you think you can fly.
In most societies, I say and hope there would be "lessons learned"....
There are no lessons to be learned. Anybody that can't see and understand what is happening already is either incapable of learning,or just isn't interested enough to think about it because they think THEIR jobs and incomes are secure,and they don't give a damn about anyone or anything else,including the survival of our nation and individual freedoms. In FACT,individual freedom flat scares the hell out of most of these people because that would also mean THEY are responsible for their own mistakes. THAT was the hidden "charm" of communism. NOTHING was the individuals fault. It was all the fault of Capitalists in public,and the fault of their own leaders when in their own apartments with their own families.
"HITS NOT MY FALTS!" is the battle cry of the natural-born slave.
But then this is the U. S. Congress we are talking about.
Ohhh,it's MUCH bigger than that. The US Congress is in partnership with the US Senate,and MUST be or nothing would happen. Congress handles the money votes,and the US Senate handles the treaties and foreign deals. Being a US Senator is the "sweet spot" in this organized crime organization we call "government".
Neither Congress or the Senate would have a chance of being successful at selling our nation down the drain for fun,ego fullfillment,and profits,without the cooperation of the other.
On top of that we have a whole substructure of judges,states attorneys,etc,etc,etc who make sure there are no legal entanglements to muddy the waters,and that whatever the "movers and shakers" responsible for THEM holding their lofty positions never have cause to regret it to the point of removing them from the public payroll in addition to the "under the table" payroll.
I do NOT like saying this,but I think it has gone so far now that the only real practical way to reverse this involves public hangings.
We (the US) got lucky when a semi-outsider whose only real involvement with the current system is paying the bribes they insist be paid for doing the jobs the taxpayers were already paying them to do. Trump gave us a little bit of breathing room,as well as hope that hangings might NOT be necessary. He can't do this by himself,though. We not only have to support him,we have to start looking for someone to replace him in a little over 4 years. If we don't,and then we elect one of "the usual suspects",we are still screwed because America WILL dissolve and become a cog in the globalist fascist machine.
