Why Is California's Public Pension Fund Investing In Chinese Companies That Are Blacklisted By The U.S. Government?



The Hill: GOP lawmaker accuses California public pension fund of investing in blacklisted Chinese companies

Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) on Thursday said that he has written a letter to California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) to voice concerns over the state's public pension fund chief and his connections with China.

The Indiana congressman is calling out the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS), the largest state pension fund in the U.S., for allegedly investing in numerous select blacklisted Chinese companies that manufacture military products.

The California-based fund invested $3.1 billion into 172 different Chinese companies, Banks said in an appearance on Fox Business Network. He said that some of the companies invested in have been blacklisted by the U.S. government.

It’s a variation of the dictum, “The capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them,”

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

Psychic spies from China try to steal your mind's elation
And little girls from Sweden dream of silver screen quotation
And if you want these kind of dreams it's Californication

It's the edge of the world and all of western civilization
The sun may rise in the East at least it's settled in a final location
It's understood that Hollywood sells Californication

Pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of aging
Celebrity skin is this your chin or is that war you're waging?

Marry me girl, be my fairy to the world, be my very own constellation
A teenage bride with a baby inside getting high on information
And buy me a star on the boulevard, it's Californication

Space may be the final frontier but it's made in a Hollywood basement
And Cobain can you hear the spheres singing songs off Station To Station?
And Alderaan's not far away, it's Californication

Born and raised by those who praise, control of population
Everybody's been there and I don't mean on vacation

Destruction leads to a very rough road but it also breeds creation
And earthquakes are to a girl's guitar, they're just another good vibration
And tidal waves couldn't save the world from Californication

Pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of aging
Sicker than the rest, there is no test but this is what you're craving?

First, the parrot spit more stuff at the wall to see if it would stick.

What the Hell is this below except a waste of people's time by parrot?

Second, the pardon of 49ers owner DeBartolo Jr. was a smooth move. Football players came out and defended it. If someone had spent more time knowing about what was going on instead of reading liberal dribble, they would know that football players love DeBartolo.

He treated them really well on away games. That is he treated them like valued coworkers and not serfs like Michael Bloomberg of Klobberchar would.

Third, Mueller should be sued. The government cannot be sued unless it allows itself to be sued. But just because you get a government paycheck, does not mean you cannot get sued, if you prosecute your government duties in bad faith. A bird brain will not see the difference, but did the rest of expect anything else?
