Because of the Hyundai raid, Korean companies have frozen travel plans for staff. "Korean workers are being treated like criminals for building factories that Washington, itself, lobbied for." A company in Seoul says if this continues, their investments in the U.S. will be reconsidered.

Because of the bufoonery of white supremacist ICE, South Korea is halting 22 investment projects in the U.S. In Coastal Georgia, this project was a $4.3 billion dollar investment from Korean conglomerates set to create 8,500 jobs. DC lobbied them for this! www.kedglobal.com/business-pol...

Korean conglomerates had many planned projects that the U.S. government lobbied to have built in the U.S. They had $4.3 billion invested into one factory. Set to create 8,500 jobs. They're halting 22 other projects because in order to build them, they need hundreds of proprietary engineers from those companies come to set up the business. Those engineers are being told it's mot safe to go to the U.S. They'll be shackled like criminals.

We have had stable, professional, vouchsafed information about the physical & economic world for so long that we entirely take it for granted. It's going to be truly wild to operate in a world where quite literally no one knows for sure what is happening, where there is no fact of the matter.

Her thousands of abusers have made it plain that they will stop if she stops exercising her right to free speech. That is an offer that she can and does refuse. We need more Americans to make a similar choice. All those who hear this interview, I wager, will do so. So please watch and share.
