China, El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala have “fundamental rights” but not America?

Chinese spy ships off the coast of Hawaii, “Millions and millions” of undocumented illegals expected in America soon after Labor Day via an Obama executive order, who’s got America’s back?

China, El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala have “fundamental rights” but not America?





The lay-down-and-play-dead spirit being spread throughout the U.S. military under President Barack Obama’s watch now includes an open door for a Chinese spy ship trailing the Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) exercise currently underway off the coast of Hawaii.





Make that four Chinese ships and 1,100 personnel with U.S.-granted spying ease.

Even though Navy Adm. Samuel Locklear, the head of the Pentagon’s Pacific Command finds it “a little odd”, he refers to China’s RIMPAC exercise as “a fundamental right nations have”.

“The fact that China is now doing what it has long complained about the United States doing off the Chinese coast —gathering signals intelligence — hasn’t rankled US officials or disrupted the RIMPAC exercise, Locklear insisted.

““The good news about this is that it’s a recognition, I think, or acceptance by the Chinese for what we’ve been saying to them for some time. Military operations and survey operations in another country’s [exclusive economic zone] are within international law and are acceptable. This is a fundamental right nations have.”

Good news to some is a definite worry to others.

Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala, whose citizens are flooding America’s southern border by the tens of thousands, also think their right to invade the U.S. is “fundamental”.

“There have been several incidents in recent years where Chinese ships have taken an aggressive posture against US naval vessels operating within 200 miles of the Chinese coast in order to collect signals intelligence —American activities that fall well within international law.

“The Chinese snooping “hasn’t stopped the exercise and it hasn’t created any difficulties for the exercise” Locklear told reporters at the Pentagon.

“In the coming weeks, the Chinese military will be conducting its unilateral “Blue Whale” exercise in the East China Sea featuring about 20 Chinese ships, and Locklear assured the Pentagon press corps that US will keep an eye on the proceedings, just as it always has.

“We all kind of keep an eye on each other” the PACOM chief said. “

Problem is that the US has turned its spying inward on its own citizens through government agencies like NSA and the IRS.

There are some who see Obama’s stance on Israel as his ‘Dance of the Seven Veils’, a means to deflect attention away from the border invasion back to Israel.

Meanwhile, Rep Luis Gutierrez, for one, isn’t exactly laying down and playing dead.



“Rep. Luis Gutierrez, who has met with Obama, tells MSNBC’s Chris Hayes that he believes Obama is going “to act” both broadly and generously for millions upon millions of ‘undocumented workers’:

“GUTIERREZ: Look. I don’t want to say the President said this but here’s my understanding from having met with him and talking to others. I believe that millions upon millions of undocumented workers who have roots in the community, who have American citizen children, who have established businesses, who would benefit from the senate bill, – I think the president’s going to act.

“And if the debate going into 2016 is – first it was repeal Obamacare and now it’s repeal the president’s executive order, that’s the fight i want to have.

“HAYES: Millions upon millions. That’s the word?

“GUTIERREZ: I’ve got to tell you. I believe the President of the United States is going to act broadly and generously. That’s my belief. He didn’t say that to me but that’s what I believe he’s going to do.”

With Chinese spy ships now off the coast of Hawaii and “millions and millions” of undocumented illegals expected in America soon after Labor Day via an Obama executive order, who’s got America’s back?
