Romney and his Chinese Investments

The news buzzed this week with reports of Mitt Romney having investments in Romney's trust with Huawei, a Chinese company. The specific articles running were about Mitt making money off of Huawei. Huawei is involved in making spy cameras. Although some journalist are poo-dooing Romney’s investments, claiming Romney did not know what is in his blind trust; for some reason the New York Times and the Obama administration were able to learn. Romney has ownership in a company and profits Romney is making in helping China spy on dissidents in China, set off a bit of a buzz.

All Gov.( a website) reported, Romney is making money also spying on Americans. Bain purchased Uniview last year. “Uniview Technologies, a Chinese company owned by Bain, has provided surveillance cameras to the government for its Safe Cities program, which allows officials to monitor university campuses, hospitals, mosques and movie theaters.”

However -

Romney's connections to Huawei are not new. Republican Duncan Hunter, during the 2008 GOP run off for president, brings up Romney's China connection! Hunter further states Romney's China connection makes Romney unfit for office.



"The deal gave the Chinese company a minority stake in 3Com, an internet security company.”

“Hunter says that 3Com has contracts with the U.S. Dept. of Defense.”

And four years ago, posters were posting on the You Tube comment section below were shocked the media was not bringing up Romney’s links to Huawei. This was FOUR YEARS ago!!!

The True Mitt Romney; The Record on Taxes and Huawei

“The biggest thing to me is the Huawei/Bain partnership to take over 3Com. I cannot believe the national media is not reporting on this! Could it be that they are saving it to use against him in the general should he be the nominee?”

“According to Business Week, 3Com just scheduled a vote for 2/29 on the deal with Bain/Huawei. Huawei would own just under 16.5% of the new company, and would have the ability to appoint 3 board members. Romney would own the other 83.5%, and could appoint 8 of the 11 board members.” - Posted four years ago in the comments section of the You Tube above by DavidDLPE.

It is impossible for Romney to say he didn't know about his investments. Romney can always stipulate investments are not to be made with Chinese companies with his 'trust'.

Michigan Governor Rick Synder was hand picked by Mitt Romney. Synder also has business links in China. It is not a surprise.

Not to mention Romney's man, John Rakolta. John is a Romney family member and also co-national bundler to Romney's campaign, along with Mitt's brother Scott Romney. Rakolta, is tied to a Detroit "pay to play corruption probe", and gave money to Wayne County Executive Robert Ficano, for trips into Asia through Edge Opportunity.

It is not only Michigan, Texas too got leaned on -

Rick Perry is the former Lt. Gov. of Texas under Bush. Is it any wonder why Perry didn't directly attack and was meek with Mitt during the early GOP debates for 2012? Bush along with Karl Rove are strong backers of Mitt Romney. Rove strongly urged John McCain to take Romney on as V.P. after McCain won the GOP nomination to run for President in 2008. The links between Romney and investments in China are decades long. The Romney's are not fessing up to their communist connections.

The Romney family, yes, this means you too Scott Romney, are hiding from the American public their strong links to both China and Russia, where their family has made millions and millions of dollars. How can Romney sit in the Oval Office when he and the Romney family members owe their wealth to foreign powers?

Why be worried about Romney having his hands on surveillance business with a foreign communist powers? Go to the right side bar of this blog and click on "Mitt Romney Terrorist Series" and read through the blog.

Romney Elected Detroit Foreclosures Will Seem A Paltry Number

The dust from Romney’s book tour has settled and outside of Romney’s non-stop tapping of the royal Romney endorsement wand there has been little interesting going on with Mitt in the press. Of course, Nikki Haley’s alleged affair and some blurbs the past week or so about the old Detroit Romney home being slated for tear down and removal. Mitt has been remarkably uninteresting.

It must have been something for the Romney’s to own a 5,500 sq. foot home in the posh Detroit neighborhood during the forties and early fifties. George Romney had been in Washington D.C. working as a lobbyist prior to coming to Detroit. And we all know how well thought of lobbyist are. While our fathers and grandfathers were fighting a war overseas, the Romney’s were living a life of luxury in America. Returning American soldiers, many struggling to purchase one of the many bungalows which were springing up in across America, many under 1,000 sq. feet, with the princess’ of homes being around 1,500 sq. feet or so.

What a great life it must have been for the Romney family during WWII.


Romney of course, blamed the down fall of Detroit on anyone but his own family, the Romney’s were among the first to flee Detroit for the then rural, but growing, elite Bloomfield Hills.

A comment in today’s Cape Cod Online caught my attention which brought up Romney’s Detroit home.

A President Romney will give us a nation of Detroit’s

The 2012 presidential campaign got under way the day Obama was inaugurated. Tea partier Sarah Palin, the failed and humiliated 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate, is the odds-on favorite to clinch the nomination, though not if former presidential candidate Mitt Romney has his way.

Campaigning in his home state of Michigan, Romney commented on the estimated 90,000 foreclosed and abandoned properties in Detroit that are slated for demolition, his own 5,000-square-foot childhood home among them: "Detroit ... has been left hollow by fleeing jobs and liberal social policies."

Voters will hopefully hold Romney and all other candidates accountable to the truth. It has been anything but liberal social policies responsible for the foreclosure fiasco. First and foremost in Michigan has been abysmal management of the U.S. auto industry by feckless white-collar management, unrealistic compensation schedules awarded blue-collar unions and a steady erosion of market share by savvy foreign competition.

If the likes of Romney get elected in the coming voting cycles, the same erosion of American competitiveness will be guaranteed and the 90,000 foreclosed properties in Detroit will seem a paltry number compared with the millions that will follow.

Since Romney appears to be interested in public funded memorials (Mitt must be thinking the home will be of historical value, once he buys the presidency). Mitt who spent millions and millions on his last presidential bid, the mere million dollars to restore the Detroit Romney shrine is too much for him, better the public to fork over the money – at least that is what appears to be the view.

What about Romney dropping a million or so for the two acres+ from another slice of Romney history in Bloomfield Hills? He can save it for a memorial park, or maybe build a pyramid?
