Control Of Six Major U.S. Ports Being Sold To UAE!
2 Comments
America lost control of the Panama Canal to Red China who controls both entrances in the Pacific and the Gulf of Mexico. That deal was signed by President Carter and President Clinton handed the keys to the Chinese in 1999.
Now America’s national security is again being threaten by another country, the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The UAE banks provided the major funding for the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Today, the Northeast Intelligence Network reports:
In exposing what is being called a "secretive deal", the White House is under fire for approving a $6.8 billion transaction that gives Dubai Ports World, of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), majority control over operations at six major U.S. ports. The Treasury Department’s Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States ultimately approved the sale, stating that all sitting members found no problems with the sale, even after reviewing information from U.S. intelligence agencies.
The sale itself was pending between Dubai Ports World (UAE), and the Peninsula and Oriental Navigation Company of London (UK), and the completion of this transaction would cause the UAE-controlled company to rank third-largest of world marine terminal operators.
Congress is calling this big-business deal into question, and is pushing for hearings on this matter. Similarly, Congress was previously able to halt business transactions in the 1990s which would have given the Communist Chinese control of Port Long Beach (CA).
The idea that a single U.S. port of call would be controlled by a country which harbors support for the very enemies who wish to destroy us is, at best, unwise. To have this situation repeated in Baltimore, Miami, New Jersey, New York, New Orleans, and Philadelphia is nothing short of unfathomable.
Even the main-stream news media has reported on this braking story. Reported today in CNSNews.com:
Allowing a country like the United Arab Emirates to take control of American ports is a "step in the wrong direction," the New York Times opined on Thursday.
"Do we really want our major ports in the hands of an Arab country where al Qaeda recruits, travels and wires money?" the Washington Times opined on Wednesday. "President Bush should overrule the committee to reject this deal," the newspaper said.
"If that doesn’t happen, Congress should take action. The country’s ports should not be owned by foreign governments; much less governments whose territories are favored by al Qaeda."
We need to pray for our political leaders that they follow the will of our Lord Jesus.
