Letter to the Editor: Stop the land grabs
Trending
This is a follow-up on my previous letter titled "Be Wary of Growing Chinese Land Ownership."
China openly admits they seek to become the world's dominant superpower, replacing the U.S., controlling shipping lanes and dictating terms to the rest of the world.
China, lacking enough farmland to feed its 1.4 billion people, is incapable of feeding itself. China is therefore dependent on globalization to prevent its own collapse and is unable to supply its own energy needs.
China claims it's expanding in America to secure its food supply, but they're using their food security as a facade to gather military intelligence, by purchasing land near military installations, with covert intentions in mind.
Private property is our heritage and security. No one would sell a firearm to a psychopath bent on killing them. We shouldn't sell land to a nation who wants to rule us. Chinese ownership of American farmland puts our own food supply at risk and provides opportunities for Chinese espionage. We must stop giving the Chinese a "foot in our door," undermining U.S.'s security.
It's bad enough we have to stop communist China from taking over our land and we have to fight Joe Biden and his environmental extremists at the same time.
I've written about this previously. Less than a week after taking office, Biden signed off on the biggest land grab in American history. Deceptively titled 'America the Beautiful' is an agenda to permanently protect 30% of America's land and water by 2030. Called "the 30×30 Plan" by environmentals with 681 million acres to be "preserved" in a natural state, controlled by D.C. bureaucrats and non-profit land trusts.
On his sixth day in office, Biden rescinded Department of Interior Secretarial Order #3388, eliminating the only means local governments and private citizens had to fight back on retaining their property. Biden worked quickly to keep Americans from realizing what was happening. Remember, then Democrats had control of the presidency, the House, and the Senate.
There is no constitutional or statutory authority for the president, or any cabinet department or any federal agency to "conserve" 30% of U.S. land and waters.
It's no coincidence the land and waters Biden seeks to "conserve" are in "red" states.
Everyone should contact their representatives and demand they end Biden's unconstitutional land grab and the Chinese acquisition of American land.
