And Coronavirus was the murder weapon.

The routing of our supply chain through China for medical and strategic goods is a glaring mistake of US trade policy, strategic policy, and economic policy. In fact, it is such an obviously egregious mistake that it might have been so to those making those decisions at the time. Can the corruption of our political leaders really be so deep? ...

The moment the outbreak got out of China's control they stopped all exports of medically necessary equipment. Items with paid-for POs were told to turn around and offload their life-saving cargo at Chinese ports. At the same time, China began shutting down the vast majority of their factories and turning any remaining capacity inward to serve their domestic needs. None of this sounds good to us considering our manufacturing circumstances but it should make sense. This is a policy we should pursue immediately as we rebuild our manufacturing capacity and repatriate our strategic production.

3M has ramped up domestic production. Even domestic textile production, including small businesses, have switched part or all of their production toward surgical masks. This is not something that is likely to go away again. Domestic pharmaceutical production is also starting to ramp up again as well. Steel production is up because of medical equipment and other strategic demands. ...

Food production is going to be vastly domestic. Much of what you will eat in the coming months will be grown, butchered, and prepared by your fellow Americans. For the first time in a long time, you will know where your food comes from. This has been a trend for a long time but the ramp-up has only just started as anticipated trade imbalances and supply chain disruptions from seasonal imports are impacted. Luckily agricultural output in the US is MASSIVE. You should be thanking your farmers.

Our economy is poised to become the world's most gargantuan domestic market. The concept of open borders has been made to look as ridiculous to everyone else as it has looked to many of us who pay attention to the details. Globalism has been shown to be what it is, patient zero in a global pandemic that erases prosperity from all Americans. We have seen regulation after regulation designed to crowd out small to medium production be effectively nullified to meet our current emergency needs. In this, we have discovered how much of our regulatory structure is just a weapon against the working and middle-class families looking for opportunities to break out. Coronavirus has exposed that sickness too. It's high time we treat it.

The death of Globalism and the rebirth of the American worker in the face of Chinese backstabbing and weak globalist bonds is a welcome change. I look forward not to an economic depression but a deep change in the American character. A change in our attitude toward how we engage in the world, and a government that more reflects the values of Americans in the 21st Century.

This has also revealed the deception in our media with regard to pushing Chinese propaganda as the CCP ramps up efforts to control the narrative. Every day, US and other Western news media organizations beclown themselves as they attempt to sell us the Chinese communist staged goodwill "savior of the world" moments and state-sponsored talking points, while simultaneously shouting down the one man trying to actually fight China, Donald J. Trump. Coupled with what appears to be rampant ChiCom representation in Congress, I believe it is safe to say that November 2020 is the day to really clean house.

We must break away from China in every way that we can. We are far more entangled than any economic arrangement ever need be. Much of it is the work of treasonous scum working against America. It's time to discover who is responsible for this global chicanery and uproot them as they have uprooted every one of us.
