Environmental Group Condemns GOP Panel’s Foreign Agent Probe
By The Associated Press
Oct. 19, 2018
WASHINGTON — An environmental group has denounced a House oversight committee for suggesting the organization’s efforts to block construction of a U.S. military base on the southern Japanese island of Okinawa may require it to register as foreign agent.
In a bluntly worded letter delivered earlier this week, the Center for Biological Diversity accused the Republican chairman and another senior GOP member of the Natural Resources Committee of pursuing a “politically motivated abuse of authority” and for operating outside of their jurisdiction. The environmental group has been part of a long-running fight to protect an endangered marine mammal.
The harsh response from the Center for Biological Diversity, headquartered in Arizona, is the group’s latest salvo at the panel, which is investigating whether nonprofit groups are being manipulated by foreign governments or entities that want to undercut U.S. interests. The committee didn’t provide a comment on the letter. But a GOP congressional aide who wasn’t authorized to speak publicly and requested anonymity called it unproductive.
At the center of the fight is the Foreign Agents Registration Act, an 80-year-old law that requires people to disclose when they lobby in the U.S. on behalf of foreign governments or political entities. For decades, the statute languished in obscurity and criminal prosecutions under the law were exceedingly rare.

The sooner Trump exposes the CAGW scam the better , these rent seekers will go back to chaining themselves back to trees and scientists will go back to science !
I guess China has found their usefull indiots
The Russians, the Chinese, and the Saudi Arabians are all bad guys, each in their own distinctive ways as recent events prove. They all fund their own chosen useful idiots to advance their cause.
The cause being ?
“The cause being” themselves.
Is anybody surprised?
To paraphrase The Declaration of Independence and The Bill of Rights, we only need enough Government to ensure that each individual is left alone to live and believe whatever they want, as long they don’t infringe on another individual’s rights to do the same.
No surprise that those opposed to that ideal (foreign and domestic) that would use Government to impose their world view on others and fund groups that attempt to do the same. Those groups are just tools.
Musk needs to hurry up on that Mars colonization effort.
Golgafrinchan Ark-Fleet-B?
Helps explain the total lack of watermelon concern about coral in the South China Sea.
Now that the Tories fell on their Skripal, and Mueller’s probe is winding down, with Trump about to declassify British interference in the election (he will play that like a stradivarius), China bashing has reached WUWT.
Remember Bannon’s wild eyed claims of China and global warming?
Which Five Companies Do The Most Overseas Manufacturing?
“There are literally thousands of companies that opt to outsource part or all of their manufacturing to overseas companies, with China being the primary source of overseas manufacturing. Even so, there are some companies that engage in this practice more than others. Following are the five companies that, at present, engage in the most overseas manufacturing.”

Outsourcing to China Cost U.S. 3.2 Million Jobs Since 2001
“JOBS OUTSOURCED TO China have diminished American employment opportunities and have helped contribute to wage erosion since 2001, when China entered the World Trade Organization, new research shows.”
Forgot to post the link https://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/data-mine/2014/12/11/outsourcing-to-china-cost-us-32-million-jobs-since-2001
They sure look like US companies. Anyway Trump has pinpointed that practice.
This has being going on for decades when China was a cheap labor source. With the Belt and Road Initiative, the largest development program in history, things have changed dramatically. Pence is running around lecturing countries to stay away from China. WallStreet neocons are trying a counter BRI carrot, and the EU at the same game, pityfull .
Trump must bring the US fully on-board with the BRI – they know how to build infrastructure , which he promised but not delivered.
This rehashed bashing is regurgitated neocon drivel.
If those companies hadn’t outsourced to China, those American jobs would still have been lost. To foreign companies that did take advantage of cheap Chines labor and as a result undercut American companies.
Not just in the US, but all over the world.
Enough of this bullshit.
Declare these groups and individuals a threat to National Security and seize their assets and deport their members.
Declarations made by whom ?
It sure would be nice if some activist groups would protest the destruction of coral reefs during construction of Chinese military islands.
Their silence is deafening.
A standard tool in the old Soviet Union’s disinformation bag of tricks.
This is no surprise. As GPHaner noted above, this is an old trick of our ideological or geopolitical enemies. China know the Vietnam War was not lost on the battlefield but on America’s streets, college campuses and newsrooms.
The leader of China declared a new cold war with the USA in 1991. No American administration (Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama) paid that any heed until now (Trump).
It would appear that, until China starts to have a love-in with Trump and family (and provides information about Democrat opponents, or promises not to release those damaging pictures/videos), the current president and his loyal supporters will continue to see reds under the bed. The mantra is: Commies – no; ex-commies (albeit still enemies, but who cares when they can help us) – yes, sirree!
