In case you missed it on Monday, WorldNetDaily published a Human Events article documenting without question that Lockheed Martin -- one of the nation's leading defense contractors -- sold a maritime surveillance system to China.
It just so happens that this system -- purported to be only a "commercial" venture -- "in fact will track all surface vessels moving through its range, whether they are commercial or military," said the magazine.

And where is this system located? Hainan Island -- precisely the island where 24 U.S. military crewmen, who were aboard a Navy EP-3E surveillance plane forced to make an emergency landing, are being held.
Lockheed, according to the article, is in full denial mode. When asked about the probably military uses of the system, spokeswoman Ellen Mitchell said, "I can't engage in speculation about any other applications for it."
TRENDING: Is this what you voted for, America?
No, of course not, Ms. Mitchell; to do so now could be dangerous to Lockheed's health, what with tens of millions of angry Americans wondering just how it is 24 of our crewmen came to end up in Chinese military hands.
Who else is responsible for this outrage? That would be Bill Clinton.

"The system was completed in 1999, during the Clinton administration, and approved by the Chinese government in 2000, while Clinton was still in office," Human Events said.
This, coupled with Clinton's approval of letting Loral Space and Motorola sell or transfer sensitive communications and satellite technology to China during the 1990s, and it's no wonder the Chinese are getting better at tracking (and targeting) our regional military assets.
Once upon time, giving this kind of aid and comfort to an "enemy" would be considered treason. It still should be considered treason, in every way that alleged FBI-slash-Russian spy Robert Hanssen should be considered a traitor if he is convicted.
But wait, you say -- China's not an "enemy," so technically, this charge doesn't apply. Wrong.
Way back in 1996, a noted Chinese official threatened to nuke Los Angeles if the U.S. ever dared to interfere with China's bid to "reunify" with Taiwan, through force. And since then, U.S. intelligence officials, as well as a host of congressional study groups and panels, and independent news agencies like this one, have discovered copious amounts of Chinese military literature and defense papers, all naming the U.S. as a future enemy.

In fact, so much of China's military modernization is demonstrably and provably aimed at fighting (and winning) a future war with the United States, to deny as much is ludicrous at this point.
Clinton, along with defense industry pals and other administration officials, all knew this long ago. They knew these things before they approved and sold this stuff to communist China; that makes them culpable and, in any legitimate court, guilty of damaging this country.
That's treason, ladies and gentlemen, with a capital "T." Forget Lewinsky; this is much more serious and always was.
As early as February 1999, WorldNetDaily was reporting that experts had discovered China's strategic long-term threat to the U.S.

Indeed, analysts knew that China's espionage against the U.S. -- coupled with a number of above-the-table sweetheart deals to buy sensitive U.S. technology -- are all part of a long-range plan to not only control the surrounding regions but to defeat the U.S. militarily someday.
Even though few in America want to acknowledge it, China has done so already -- long ago -- and makes no bones about it in published writings and official party speeches.
Yes, it is easy to dismiss such claims as the rantings of those "lunatic" Chinese leaders; but consider this: just last week WND reported that Clinton knew long ago that Chinese jets were increasingly hostile to U.S. surveillance flights.
Now we know why -- China has state-of-the-art surveillance equipment of its own.

You know, as Holocaust survivors plot to sue IBM for its sales of sensitive technology to Hitler's Nazi Germany; and as surviving Jews sue Swiss banks for holding onto Jewish assets stolen by Nazis and hoarded for decades, I wonder -- who will sue the U.S. government for allowing sales of equipment and gear to Beijing that will eventually be used to kill American military personnel?
I don't know about you, but personally I'm tired of being told by Clinton apologists and big corporate defense contractors that, hey, "If we don't sell this stuff to China and others, somebody else will."
I say, fine -- let them. At least we won't be responsible for our own destruction. Besides, in Lockheed's case, the company already makes tens of billions a year in profits (all paid for by taxpayers, mind you) just selling gear and equipment to the United States military. Why, then, does it need to sell this stuff to a future, stated enemy of this country?
And why do U.S. leaders -- past and present -- continue to defend this treason as somehow a legitimate, normal process? Campaign contributions?

Selling out one's own security is not legitimate, it is criminal; it is not normal, it is insane.
Clinton is a moral coward who would likely crack like a walnut under a truck tire if U.S. officials were serious about arresting him and charging him with treason. He'd give up every single lowlife involved in these sales and transfers, just for the possibility of being spared a lethal injection.
If he didn't, then that's fine, too -- he can rot in Leavenworth until he dies, for all I care.
In the meantime, U.S. authorities should go after the other players in this obscene, sick game of destroying a great nation at the altar of short-term economic gain.

Someday there will come a reckoning that America will have to face because of the devious, underhanded and traitorous behavior of the Clinton administration. The least we can do in the meantime is extract the proper justice against those guilty of condemning tens of millions of us to death.
