Today's Entry Drywall with updates on 11 April

Drywall. Gypsum board. Sheet rock. You may know it under other names, but most of us know what it is, it is part of the system of the walls in your home, and, probably, your office, church, and the like. Places where people are. Some pretty good makers in this country, names like US Gypsum, Certainteed, Georgia-Pacific and others.

But, alas!, someone decided to bring some in from the ChiComs. Nothing like enriching the People's Liberation Army, the ''silent partner'' in so many of these ventures. With predictable results. Those who were complicit in the slaughter of some 67,000,000 of their fellow countrymen will not quibble about safety for a bunch of gwailos in the US.

And so we have this. People in the US seeing damage in their residences as a result of the fumes given off by ChiCom gypsum board. Good article here.

How's that Globalism doing? Still think that Free Trade is always good??

While I loathe CNN, you know the story about a blind pig. Here's their story on it.\

Updated 11 April. An AP story in the Washington Examiner on the same issue.

Perhaps this story has ''legs'', perhaps some people are starting to realize the extent of the issue.
While there is plenty of blame to go around, my 'favorite' villains (after the Democrat Party, the AFL-CIO, and other boils on the nation's butt) are the MBA's and CPA's that have far far too much influence in most companies. They've done more damage than several earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and hurricanes combined.
Yes, the ChiComs do this all the time. Tell me again, please, why we buy anything from these murderous heathen illegitimati.

An Overlooked One -- Fake ChiCom medical items

I know this is an old one, dating to 2007 in fact. But I'd overlooked it, until my Beloved Elder Daughter was diagnosed with Insulin-Resistant Diabetes. She has to test a LOT. To find that the test strips, some sold under the Johnson & Johnson label, were fakes put out by the same evil butchers that gave us Tien An Men Square, is a shock.

I will remember this the next time some flak is reciting all the benefits of unlimited global free trade. Only works, when it works at all, when morals and standards are equal. Clearly, this is not the case with the ChiComs.

More ChiCom Melamine and contaminated honey too

Got to just love those ChiComs, don't you? I mean, the same fine folks that slaughtered some 67,000,000 of their own people in the name of 'Liberty, Equality, Fraternity', ooops! Sorry, that was ''Arbeit Macht Frei'', oops again, it was ''Share the Wealth Around'', was that it? Sounds like an Obama campaign slogan. Or a Mugabe or Chavez or Castro one.
Anyway, these fine folks are embroiled in yet another scandal involving the adulteration of foodstuffs with highly toxic materials like melamine. Go ahead, read up on it.

Ain't all this 'Globalization' wonderful? Sure does improve everything.

UPDATE:

Almost overlooked this one.
What do you think about contaminated honey coming in from the ChiCom illegitimati?
Check this one out.
By the way, this gets briefly into a part of the problem. Product from the ChiComs may be ''transshipped'' via another country before coming here. That intermediary nation may then be shown on what little labeling there is as being the nation of origin. Fun, huh? By the way, some of that contaminated honey, it is rumored, may be showing up in places like Wal-Mart.

Industrial Chemicals in Chinese foodstuffs

The headline itself says a lot:

China sets melamine levels for milk products

This says a great deal to me.
Question: does this mean that the ChiComs, those 'nice agrarian reformers' so beloved by Bill Ayers and the other terrorist companions of Barack Obama, the ones who slaughtered some 67,000,000 of their own countrymen AFTER seizing power, have now determined to protect the food supply? Or. more likely, have they simply decided to pretend that they are doing so? Or , possibly, are they setting MINIMUM levels of industrial poisons to be slipped into the food products sold to stupid gwailo foreigners, as well as some of their own excess - and therefore expendable - population?
Think this doesn't affect you? Think again. You have no idea whatever of the nation of origin of some of the ingredients of the products, including vitamins and processed foods, that you stick into your mouth daily. You really don't.

Ain't globalization wonderful?

More Chinese Candy - Oct 31

I almost forgot this one.
You know 'Peeps'? The little marshmallow thingies, come in different shapes and colors? The beautiful half of us loves 'em.
Guess where they're to be made? Go ahead, guess.
Right. China. The Heroes of Tienanmen Square, the barbarians who slaughtered 65,000,000 or so of their own countrymen after the Communists took over, those same wonderful folks, will now make your adorable candies.
Check it out at Scary thought? 'Halloween Peeps' made in China which is a whole lot scarier than little kids dressed up like A-Rod or hookers.

Ain't globalism wonderful? I mean, in the Bad Old Days, they might actually make things like this in your own town. Now, we get to have it made 5000 miles away by slave laborers. Progress, that's what it is, progress.

Chicom Poison Candy -- Oct 31

Aren't you just enthusiastic that, thanks to the fact that we look the other way on Chinese imports, (you know, the same people that employ illegal means to fund the Clintons), our kids can get unsafe candy right off the sampan? It's great, just great. Let's try these on, for size.
Fake Teeth Recalled for Too Much Lead yep, those Hallowe'en staples, fake teeth.

Latest from the Chicoms

Normally, I wouldn't trust the NY Times to tell me it if was raining outside. But even a blind hog finds an acorn once in a great while. Here's their acorn for the year. Seems that they have discovered that the Heroes of Tienanmen Square are up to their woks in selling counterfeit chemicals of doubtful purity or content. That's bad for floor wax. But these are being sold to pharmaceutical companies. Guess whose mouth the end-products land in? Check out Chinese Chemicals Flow Unchecked to Market
You won't like it, but evidently we don't get a vote.

Color boxes?

Story from Reuters, ''Toys "R" Us recalls China-made wood coloring cases'' Lead paint on kid's toys. Again.

Yes, the heroes of Tienanmen Square, the current crop of murderers whose uncles murdered some 67,000,000 of their own citizens, really don't care if your kids die. They don't really care much about their own. Aren't you proud of what your purchases support?

Brief update 26August2007

WE haven't forgotten this. Things here have been difficult. In any event, the reports coming out over the last 6 weeks or so have rather overtaken us. Kid's sleep clothes soaked in formaldehyde, lead poisoning tied to any number of toys in several countries, tainted human food, tainted pet food, tires that fall apart, and so on. Now a report of poisoned toothpaste originating in, I believe, India.
This is a good thing?

We're just getting this thing started, so bear with us.
We are going to be rearranging the furniture, putting up new wallpaper, all of that stuff.
In the meantime, we are soliciting reports, and will continue to do so.
With the recent revelations about things like toothpaste, pet food, and other things, that we thought were being made in Iowa, only to discover that they were, without our awareness, coming out of Red China and sometimes seasoned with poisons, we found that no one seems to know the extent of it.
Example: I am told that much of the candy business we associate with the Hershey Company and Hershey, Pennsylvania is moving to Mexico. I was told last week that some of your rolled oats are being processed in China.
See what I mean? None of us know the extent of the matter - I doubt that anyone does know. Like the example of the ingredients in the vitamin pills coming from China. No one knew - the bottle still says 'made in USA' - but that doesn't mean all the ingredients are.
So we need submissions. I am not an expert. Few are. But all of us hear things, and sometimes the reports prove out. So our vision is that this will be an honest clearinghouse. We may, if it proves necessary, also refute false claims, and there will be some. We will probably, likely, make some mistakes. We undertake to fix any errors as soon as found.
So, please help.
