Port of Long Beach Closes, Taiwan Invasion Imminent?

This is a breaking news alert.

You probably haven’t seen this covered much on the MSM, because they don’t want you to know about it.

They also LOVE to bury this stuff on the weekend when they think no one is watching.

But this is very serious.

They’re claiming it’s due to a “work dispute” but I’m not buying it.

Cover story for something much bigger?

Let’s take a look…

LA AND LONG BEACH PORT CLOSE!!!!!! 40% OF ALL USA SUPPLY CHAIN !!!!!!! 🇺🇸 🚨🚨🚨🚨🇺🇸 https://t.co/CRdlEdtSOm

40% of all USA Supply Chain goes through these ports.

Are we about to experience 2020 all over again?

Remember those supply chain shortages?

Looks like they didn’t get the kill job done the first time around so they’re going back in for the final shot.

Just my opinion.

Not a single person or forklift working anywhere, according to reports describing the scene as “eerie”:

There isn't a single truck, crane or forklift operating at one of the busiest port complexes in the country, John Schreiber reports.

The NY Post is blaming it on a shortage of workers:

A shortage of West Coast port workers has forced the busiest US ocean trade gateway to shut on Friday, after months of strained labor negotiations between the dock workers union and their employers.

Workers at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach on Thursday began withholding labor, which was needed to load and unload cargo, as part of a coordinated action by the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU), according to the Pacific Maritime Association (PMA), which represents employers.

“The action by the union has effectively shut down the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach,” the PMA said in a statement.

Operators at the Port of Long Beach decided to temporarily close four of the seaport’s six terminals when workers failed to show up on Friday morning, port spokesman Lee Peterson said, adding that regular operations at the seaport were expected to resume on Saturday.

Port of Los Angeles officials were communicating with the ILWU and PMA, along with federal, state and local officials, to “support a return to normal operations,” said the group, which is managed by a unit of the City of Los Angeles.

A representative of the ILWU Local 13, which represents workers at both the Los Angeles and Long Beach ports, declined to comment.

Union workers at the ports have been on the job without an employment contract since the previous agreement expired on July 1, 2022, and the labor dispute has forced major retailers to shift cargo to East and Gulf Coast ports to avoid disruptions.

You buying that?

Meanwhile, at the exact same time, The Gateway Pundit reports that China has sent 71 fighter jets across the Taiwan Straight!

China is reportedly responding to Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen’s meeting with US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in California a few days ago.

It is being reported that China is responding to Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen’s meeting with US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in California this past week by starting military drills around Taiwan.

Zerohedge reports:

China has begun three days of military drills around Taiwan and in the Taiwan Strait as its direct response to Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen’s meeting with US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in California held days ago.

Parts of the drills are expected to extend up to 12 days. WSJ notes that this is what greeted the return of Tsai to her home: “Hours after President Tsai Ing-wen returned to Taiwan on Friday night, Chinese maritime safety authorities said the country’s navy planned to conduct seven live-fire exercises over the course of 12 days off the coast of Fujian province, which faces Taiwan, starting Saturday morning.”

While the Wednesday meeting with McCarthy was presented by the allies as a show of democratic solidarity, Beijing had warned of “resolute measures” while deploying an aircraft carrier strike group off the self-ruled island’s coast.

Early Saturday, China launched live-fire “combat readiness patrols” until April 10, according to a statement from the People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) Eastern Theatre Command. The drills are called United Sharp Sword and expand in scope from the north to south of the island, utilizing air and sea, particularly airspace to Taiwan’s east, the statement indicated.

The drills have already involved on Saturday a whopping 71 Chinese military aircraft crossing the sensitive median line of the Taiwan Strait, Reuters confirms.

In December, China sent 71 jets on a military drill near Taiwan as well. Same number, interesting.
