BUSH ISSUES VETO THREAT; VOWS TO KEEP PORT DEAL
Bush called reporters at about 2.30 ET aboard Air Force One to issue a very strong defense of port deal... MORE... He said he would veto any legislation to hold up deal and warned the United States was sending 'mixed signals' by going after a company from the Middle East when nothing was said when a British company was in charge... Lawmakers, he said, must 'step up and explain why a Middle Eastern company is held to a different standard.' Bush was very forceful when he delivered the statement... 'I don't view it as a political fight,'

Republican Governors Threaten to Block...

The Dubai firm that won Bush administration backing to run six U.S. ports has at least two ties to the White House.
One is Treasury Secretary John Snow, whose agency heads the federal panel that signed off on the $6.8 billion sale of an English company to government-owned Dubai Ports World - giving it control of Manhattan's cruise ship terminal and Newark's container port.
The other connection is David Sanborn, who runs DP World's European and Latin American operations and was tapped by Bush last month to head the U.S. Maritime Administration.

Now I must make a point to you that this is not an isolated incident, but has been going on for some time now. This is part of the systematic plan to bring America into the global economy, globalization, and global world control.

Red China's Ocean Invasion May 12, 1997

The China Ocean Shipping Company (COSCO) is a 600-ship global corporation supervised by the People's Liberation Army (PLA). COSCO -- the employer of record for Wang Jun, the notorious arms dealer who was a White House coffee guest -- has been the beneficiary of at least three questionable deals. The first is the 20-year, $14.5 million per annum lease of the Long Beach facility, which was closed down earlier this decade as a result of defense cutbacks. The second dubious arrangement is a $138 million, taxpayer-subsidized loan guarantee to a COSCO subsidiary to build ships in a Mobile, Alabama shipyard. The third highly questionable deal is a recent agreement between a Hong Kong-based COSCO subsidiary and the Panamanian government to lease the "anchor ports" to the Panama Canal, a move which grants Red China a strategic toehold in the Western Hemisphere.

WATER FOR THE NEW WORLD ORDER

Did you know the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) allows foreign countries to come into United States and buy our utility companies? Under these agreements, foreign companies now have rights and privileges to come into other countries and buy private utilities such as electric companies, water districts and other commodities that are necessary to a village or a community. Under these new trade agreements we now can have global commercial negotiations and foreign companies can get United States Small Business Administration loans with which to make the purchases. This comes under the heading of "GATTS-2000," which allows a foreign firm to purchase retail services normally owned by municipalities, such as electricity services or water works. GATTS even allows federal, state and local regulations to be challenged as barriers to trade.
American Water Works Company (AWW -- now German owned) is the largest and most geographically diverse, investor owned utility enterprise in the United States. The company provides water, wastewater and other resource management services to more than 10 million people in 23 states.
