You must read the 4 page Alert from
Idaho Eagle Forum. I think former Republican
Governor Mike Huckabee of Arkansas e-mail: hucktix@foxnews.com The studio number from where Mike Huckabee
broadcasts is 1-877-225-8587. Also call Senator Jim DeMint
(Republican - South Carolina) and complain. DeMint's phone number in DC
is 202-224-6121; in Greenville, 864-233-5366; Charleston, 843-727-4525;
Columbia, 803-771-6112. DeMint's mailing address is 105 North Spring Street, Suite
#109 in Greenville, So. Carolina 29601.
Your own federal and state representatives should also be literally swamped
with calls objecting to allowing the Chinese communists to have territory
within the United States (Idaho) for the purpose of setting up communist-owned
businesses with full landing rights in our airports. We need an immediate
listing of all those public officials (in addition to Idaho's
Governor Butch Otter) who have participated in this
shocking sellout. The aim of communism is to take over the world.
The building of a Chinese communist-owned industrial zone, consisting of
10,000 to 30,000 acres as a start (called the "Technology Zone") on
territory south of Boise, Idaho is a Trojan Horse. We are sort of like the drunk who would
daily sell a pint of his blood for 2-ounces of whiskey! How crazy can we
get? This is national suicide! Someone
has to answer for this! Please do not let this challenge go on
unanswered. The significance and the consequences of this seditious act
are too dreadful to allow! Pass the word!

IDAHO EAGLE FORUM ALERT !!!!
---------------------------------------
While Idahoans were enjoying New Years
Eve the Idaho Statesman ran an article that someone in Texas seen.-- Dec. 31, 2011, "Chinese Company
Eyes Boise".
Everyone needs to read the whole
article at the bottom of this e-mail.
I HAVE TAKEN QUOTES FROM THE ARTICLE
HERE AND WILL SUM IT UP QUICK. ------ Build a 10,000 to 30,000 acre "TECHNOLOGY
ZONE" south of the Boise airport with homes and retail centers to be
leased to the COMMUNIST CHINESE with full landing rights to our airport.!
I know that most Idahoans would NOT
want to see a COMMUNIST CHINA TOWN IN IDAHO ,PERIOD!!!
AND I KNOW THAT THEY WOULD NOT WANT TO SHARE THE AIRPORT AND HAVE THEM FLY OVER
US!!! We have a national security problem here folks and our GOVERNOR'S
OFFICE IS IN ON THIS.
!) Contact your state legislators
and tell them no way is this to happen
2) Send this alert to all your
friends and the teaparty members in Idaho
---------------------------------------------------
QUOTES:
*** A Chinese national company is
interested in developing a 10,000- to 30,000-acre technology zone for industry,
retail centers and homes south of the Boise Airport.
*** Officials of the China National
Machinery Industry Corp. have broached the idea based on a concept popular in
China today to city and state leaders.
*** This ambitious, long-term
proposal would start with a manufacturing and warehouse zone tied to the
airport, and could signify a shift in the economic relationship between the two
superpowers a relationship once defined by U.S. companies like the J.R.
Simplot Co., Hewlett-Packard and Morrison-Knudsen that would head to China to
build and develop.
*** “I think China’s coming
over here shows they are willing to collaborate on the reinvigoration of the
American industrial base,” said Jeff Don, CEO of Eagle-based C3, which is
acting as an Idaho representative for the Chinese company, called Sinomach for short.
*** China surpassed Japan as the
second largest economy in the world in 2010. And in June, Gov. Butch Otter
traveled there to tell anyone who would listen that
Idaho is open for business.
*** While Otter was in Beijing in
June, he spoke about the project with Jin Kening,
chairman of the China National Chemical Engineering Corp. a different
government-owned company. Don said Chinese national companies do compete with
each other, but won’t let their own competition get in the way.
*** Doug Sayer,
president and CEO of Premier Technology, worked with Otter in Beijing to build
long-term relationships with China National. His company could bid on some of
the work to build the fertilizer plant.
*** “One thing these Chinese see is
we have a governor here who has a great big open-door policy, and I think
that’s making a difference in this Sinomach project,”
he said.
*** The technology zone proposal
follows a model of science, technology and industrial parks in China often
fully contained cities with all services included.
*** Sinomach
officials met with Boise city and airport officials
including Mayor Dave Bieter to discuss developing a
first phase for the technology zone that would set up a base of operations for
Chinese companies doing business in the United States.
*** The proposal could get a boost
from this year’s voter-approved constitutional amendment that allows the
airport to borrow money to build facilities that can be leased to companies on
a long-term basis. The airport commission also has the authority to grant
long-term leases and landing rights to air carriers, including those from
China.
*** “Idaho’s the last state that
should say we don’t want to do business with Asia,” said Lt. Gov. Brad Little.
“Asia’s where the money is.”

Subject: INS/ECON{ID}: Chinese company eyes
Boise
I am sure many will recall my
numerous posts warning about the blatant invitation backed by the Chambers of
Commerce in Idaho to the Chinese to come to Idaho to go into business. Lots of SUPPORT from the TRAITORS who live in Idaho.
Well, read on my friends and see how deep and widespread this treason goes.

Chinese company eyes Boise
As economic power shifts to Asia,
Idaho’s location makes it a prime site for an industrial foothold.

AN
IDAHO-CHINA UPDATE
Hoku Corp., a subsidiary of Tianwei New Energy Holdings Co, a Chinese company, has
invested $270 million of the more than $400 million it expects to spend on its
Pocatello plant to manufacture polysilicon for the
solar market.
All of the polysilicon will be shipped back to China.
Idaho’s exports to China for the first three quarters of 2010 were $506
million, a 35 percent increase over 2009. Overall, Idaho imports rose to $3.8
billion from $2.7 billion in 2009. Idaho had $3.9 billion in three quarters in
2008.
The Idaho Regional Center, a company developing the Gold Hill Mine near
Placerville and Blackhawk on the River near McCall, has millions of dollars in
escrow from Chinese investors awaiting approval of green cards from U.S.
Citizenship and Immigration Services.
Once approved, the money will be released and the gold processing plant is
expected to go into production, said Sima Muroff, head of the regional center.
Several other regional centers have started in the state. They allow investors
a chance to get green cards in exchange for investments of $500,000 to $1
million.
The InvestIdaho Regional Center is expected to make
an announcement next week. Two others, Idaho EB-5 Regional Center and the Idaho
Global Investment Center in eastern Idaho, are organizing.
A Chinese national company is interested in developing a 10,000- to 30,000-acre
technology zone for industry, retail centers and homes south of the Boise
Airport.
Officials of the China National Machinery Industry Corp. have broached the idea
based on a concept popular in China today to city and state leaders.
They are also interested in helping build and finance a fertilizer plant near
American Falls, an idea company officials returned to
Idaho this month to pursue.
This ambitious, long-term proposal would start with a manufacturing and
warehouse zone tied to the airport, and could signify a shift in the economic
relationship between the two superpowers a relationship once defined by U.S.
companies like the J.R. Simplot Co., Hewlett-Packard and Morrison-Knudsen that
would head to China to build and develop.
“I think China’s coming over here shows they are willing to collaborate on the
reinvigoration of the American industrial base,” said Jeff Don, CEO of
Eagle-based C3, which is acting as an Idaho representative for the Chinese company,
called Sinomach for short.
Sinomach is just one of an increasing number of
companies and investors showing interest in Idaho.
Hoku Materials Inc., a subsidiary of a Chinese energy
firm, already has 500 people building its $400 million plant to make polysilicon for solar panels in Pocatello. It expects to
begin production in 2011, employing 250 people, said Scott Paul, Hoku’s president and CEO.
China surpassed Japan as the second largest economy in the world in 2010. And
in June, Gov. Butch Otter traveled there to tell anyone who would listen that Idaho is open for business.
EAST IDAHO PROJECT COULD COME FIRST
Sinomach is China’s third-largest contractor, with
more than $14 billion in sales last year. It has been active in more than 130
countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America, Russia and Eastern Europe as general
contractor for large infrastructure and building projects.
Sinomach executives told Southeast Idaho Energy,
which is planning to build a $2 billion fertilizer plant in Power County, they want
the contract for engineering, procurement and construction. Their access to
financing is their deal sweetener.
Southeast Idaho Energy hopes to turn coal into gas to produce nitrogen
fertilizer and sulfur. The company expects to hire 700 to 1,000 people during
construction with 150 permanent workers.
The company also would separate the carbon dioxide that contributes to climate
change and ship it to Wyoming, where it can be pumped underground to enhance
the extraction of natural gas.
While Otter was in Beijing in June, he spoke about the project with Jin Kening, chairman of the China National Chemical Engineering
Corp. a different government-owned company. Don said Chinese national
companies do compete with each other, but won’t let their own competition get
in the way.
“Whatever makes the deal go forward,” Don said.
Doug Sayer, president and CEO of Premier Technology,
worked with Otter in Beijing to build long-term relationships with China
National. His company could bid on some of the work to build the fertilizer
plant.
“Anything we can do to work toward having good industry opportunities for
investment is important whether we get a piece of that work,” Sayer said.
The state’s efforts have been critical to the discussions, said Pat Sullivan, a
Boise lobbyist who works with Southeast Idaho Energy.
“One thing these Chinese see is we have a governor here who has a great big
open-door policy, and I think that’s making a difference in this Sinomach project,” he said.
AN UNUSUAL IDEA THAT MAY BECOME COMMON
Sinomach is not looking only at Idaho.
The company sent delegations to Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania this year to
talk about setting up research and development bases and industrial parks. It
has an interest in electric transmission projects and alternative energy as
well.
The technology zone proposal follows a model of science, technology and
industrial parks in China often fully contained cities with all services
included.
But Don and other local supporters have recommended fitting the idea into the
kind of planned unit development used for local approval here.
Sinomach officials met with Boise city and airport officials including Mayor Dave Bieter
to discuss developing a first phase for the technology zone that would set up
a base of operations for Chinese companies doing business in the United States.
City officials were cautious, since the idea is at an early stage.
“We understand they are at a preliminary stage. We are waiting to hear back
from them with a proposal for where they want to go from here,” said Cece Gassner, assistant to the
mayor for economic development.
The proposal could get a boost from this year’s voter-approved constitutional
amendment that allows the airport to borrow money to build facilities that can
be leased to companies on a long-term basis. The airport commission also has
the authority to grant long-term leases and landing rights to air carriers,
including those from China.
Sinomach is not the only Asian company looking at
Boise, Gassner said.
“We’re getting calls from investors from all across Asia who are interested in
Idaho,” she said.
Idaho’s location, only another 45 minutes farther by air than Seattle from
Asia, will open many opportunities, state and local officials said.
The state’s low cost for doing business will help, too.
Sinomach is attracted to Idaho, in part, because of
the lack of infrastructure here, which means it has more opportunity.
“Idaho’s the last state that should say we don’t want to do business with
Asia,” said Lt. Gov. Brad Little. “Asia’s where the money is.”
Yeh Ling-Ling, executive director of the Alliance for
a Sustainable USA, said U.S. businesses should be cautious about making
contracts that give Chinese companies the best jobs though she is more
worried about investment programs that encourage immigration, which Idaho also
has jumped into this year.
“I believe that Idaho or other American companies should first seek investments
from America and employ American engineers first,” said Ling-Ling, a
naturalized citizen from Orinda, Calif., who was born in Vietnam of Chinese
parents.
Little, who met with Zhang Chun, director general of Sinomach,
and other company officials, said he thinks the state and the company are a
good fit.
But that doesn’t mean the state won’t stick up for its own interests.
“We’re sure not going to favor a Chinese company over an Idaho company,” Little
said.
