This Chinese owned (former American-owned) company is the largest Pork products producer in the US. China is moving to control our food supply. I've been posting about Smithfield for weeks now, but this is only the tip of the iceberg.

I hope this company shuts down temporarily due to C-19, so you can see the grocery store shelves' meat department clear out. You will be shocked to see how many products this company provides. ~1/4th of the meat departments will become bare.

Please write your Congressman, Senators, & President Trump's office demanding that we begin eradicating the Chinese from our food supply chain, including land, farms, processors, brokers, distributors, ect..

Demand an immediate hault to any further Chinese investment in the US domestic food supply chain. Demand that we nationalize it through eminent domain paying fair market value for all Chinese holdings.

If politically active people like you won't act, there's no hope the rest will act. Please write letters now while we are all trapped indoors, and have time.

We must stop this. I'm open to any and all ideas on how we get the CCCP out of our domestic food supply chain, stop them from buying up our company's, land, & debt.

Once they've dismantled our manufacturing capabilities, our domestic food supply, & hold most of our debt, bad things happen.

We are in an invisible economic war that makes C-19 look like a sweet-16 party. We are under attack.

Well they may cut the supply for a time, but they like money -and they will go after the money. They have farms and growers etc., who are they going to sell to ? We should still be 75% self sustaining, but America would have to change drastically.

Good.

Smithfield products suck.

They make it harder to find decent ribs to smoke.

Good riddance.

I don't eat pork anymore. It's not a religious thing - just had a dream and my waking thought was "I cant eat pork anymore", and I haven't. As a friend pointed out, "If it comes to you in a dream, you have to act on it."

You don't need to write anybody if you stop eating pork...I'm just saying.

They will export our food supplies unless we pay huge amounts of cash for food. They'll have us by the balllls.

All is not what it appears to be on the surface right now...Keep your eyes and ears open and learn to 'read between the lines'.

Wow, based upon these posts ^^^ I need to make my plans to get out of here...I have the means do you?

Have you any idea how much of our food supply China has bought up? I didn't think so.

I suggest you spend some time on it. We are under attack, and you dont even know it.

How many links do you need to listen to me? Rome fell in 1 day.

I hope Trump shuts China out and down to protect us.

C-19's nothing compared to the economic attack we are under, and our politicians are complicit. They'll take their cash and bail to Europe or Australia..I will too.

Please do some research on this.
