backlash brewing over the sale and leasing of US assets such as roads. The recent 75 year lease to an Austrailian firm of the Indiana toll road by Indiana Governor and Bush crony Daniels has gone too far. Two things are at work here - first is taking the long term toll profits away from the taxpayers for short term lump sums and creating a two tiered road system - one for the haves and one for the have nots. The second issue is Daniels is using the proceeds to finance the construction of the Nafta superhighway I-69 extension. www.logisticstoday.com/displayStory.asp?nID=8499

I absolutely have heard of these things before - and was one of the first to speak up when Bush 41 was promoting his NWO agenda
Of course at the time anyone who spoke up against NWO was immediately labelled a paranoid crackpot

Selling US assets is not new. In the late 1980s almost all the major buildings in Los Angeles were owned by the Japanese. Japan went bust in 1990 and the lenders took back the buildings. That was 25-30 years ago when Japan was thought to be on the way to owning the world.
In the Great Depression, the US was economically far worse off than the rest of the world. Overseas investors bought and bought everything for 11 cents on the dollar. What the buyers did not count on was a very long, profitless depression followed by WWII. So again the US buildings and land came back into US ownership.
There is an ebb and flow of overseas investment in America.
