We can not go to China and but any business or property. Or exorcise what we consider our civil rights.

I think it will be soon for the chinese government to start nationalizing all the corporations established in China. They'll say: Now we have the facilities, the know how, and the market. We just change the brand name and produce everything here. We'll take over the global market of almost everything. So, goodbye foreign corporations.

waning to cover his losses on his Wind Farm invetments?Also wanna bet there will be Republicans that want to see this sale through...
Boone Pickens has a great presentation about energy production in this country and wht its all about is ,,he wants to cover his loses on wind farms so he can invest more in "fracking" for natural gas and destroying the environment..Never mind how this corporate mobster gets his money,even from a communist country..

this has Republican corporate mafia writtne all over it...Check out these name about mid-page of thi article.
