America used to mistreat her land and water like this.

This sort of thing, by the way, is how you manage to produce things with a wage of $1 or $2/day and undercut first-world producers.

When we have "free trade" with China, this is what we are supporting.  This is what we're serving up on their people.  This is what our government and corporations all say is ok - so long as it is hidden from us, and happens "over there."

Make all the excuses you want America, this is what you're supporting every time you buy anything made in China or containing Chinese componets.

Go walk around your house and pick up 10 random items.  Look for the "made in" tag on the back or bottom.  What's it say?  Now consider this - it is virtually impossible today to buy a piece of consumer electronics, a toy, an automobile or even a toaster without some part of it coming from China.

YOU are why this is happening.

These are not old photos, or someone's Photoshop experiment.

They're real, they're current, and they are what our hedonism, demand for $20 DVD players and "cheaper and faster" from everyone has resulted in, all so our "corporations" can report "record profits."

Those "great earnings" the last two quarters were in fact generated by firing Americans and shifting yet more production over to China, where they poison their air, water and ground with wild abandon, all so we can have a "strong" stock market and our banksters can loot us some more.

This is just one example.... head to the original article to read and see the rest.

You lost your job so she can bathe in industrial waste, and you are not only consenting to all of it, you're actively supporting it.

Any questions?
