This seems to focus on their international component and reporting. When I was at the 2016 convention the UAW thugs who strong armed their way into the delegation were very agitated about the TPP protests. They sent secret service on me to try to prevent me holding a NO TPP sign during Obama's speech. I asked them why they were opposed given they wanted to ship their jobs to China. Wouldn't that depress your workers wages? They said they had "plans" but when asked to expound on those plans they all became pucketbutted and tight lipped. Like they shut the fuck up and didn't want to talk any more. It was strange. Said with the SS I could hold the sign given I do so in silence.
Then we had the anti CHINA poor Taiwan AUKUS junk.
So...Democrats and UAW international unit...Fain stumping for ( threw up red flags for me] what agreements and schemes are going on here? Are they trying to use UAW and unions as part of a covert foriegn policy tool? The trade agreement that Trump put out to replace NAFTA is the USMCA (US Marine Corp Agreement?) An on the ground organizing group on tap for western shenanigans.
Biden throwing red meat to the on the border about Mexico.
The timing of this and say the Mexican election results. Coincidence? Someone not playing ball?
Idk. There's something else going on and I sense shenanigans.
