The Other Reason To Buy Land Next To A Military Base

I’ve been busy with work, so here is an unhinged rant at the American government quietly accepting its status as a pawn of unknown powers:

Officials worry that foreign interests might be behind purchase of nearly $1 billion-worth of land around major USAF base

An investment group has snatched up roughly 52,000 acres of land — much of dubious agricultural value — around a critical U.S. Air Force base northeast of San Francisco.

These acquisitions and the investors’ obscurity have government officials worried about possible ulterior motivations as well as security risks.

Didn’t they just check? USA is better at signals intelligence than any other country on the planet. I have more CIA spyware in my pocket than most nations have in their legislatures.

What do you mean, they DID check and were told no? By… Delaware? Because corporate privacy laws trump national security? Buckle up.

Travis Air Force Base in Solano County, on the southwestern edge of the Sacramento Valley, is known as the “Gateway to the Pacific.” Its host unit is the 60th Air Mobility Wing and is home to the 621st Contingency Response Wing, the 349th Air Mobility Wing, and over 50 partner organizations. The base itself has just over 7,600 active USAF personnel and 4,250 Air Force Reserve personnel.

The Wall Street Journal reported that the investment group Flannery Associates has spent around $1 billion in recent years to become the largest landowner in Solano County, acquiring some 52,000 acres across 300 parcels of land near the base, 20 of which surround Travis.

The company has admitted in court filings to paying prices of “multiples of fair market value” for the land.

Solano County Supervisor Mitch Mashburn said, “The majority of the land they’re purchasing is dry farmland. … I don’t see where that land can turn a profit to make it worth almost a billion dollars in investment.“

Hyperinflation, Supervisor Mashburn. The dollar is being dismantled. You’ll live to see a trillion bucks for a condo.

Until the universal basic income kicks in, at least. You know that UBI is the stated goal of Cloward-Piven, right?

A spokesman for the base indicated that USAF officials “are aware of the multiple land purchases near the base and are actively working internally and externally with other agencies.”

The USAF’s Foreign Investment Risk Review Office has reportedly been looking into the group’s acquisitions, but has not yet been able to determine precisely who is backing Flannery Associates.

When the military cannot identify its neighbor even in the name of national security… that’s my cue!

GunnerQ pulls up a map It’s the only large rural area between San Francisco and Sacramento. A valuable location, aside from being unusually burdened with laws-for-little-people. I’m inclined to accept the official reason:

The group’s attorney previously told Solano County that Flannery “is owned by a group of families looking to diversify their portfolio from equities into real assets, including agricultural land in the western United States,” reported the Daily Republic.

Real estate is a classic hedge against inflation and God knows we’ve got inflation going on. The likes of Gates and Bezos haven’t tried to hide their real-estate purchases, however, so why the secrecy?

Rio Vista Mayor Ronald Kott told the Journal, “Nobody can figure out who they are. … Whatever they’re doing—this looks like a very long-term play.”

That sounds like Jews. Them and China are the only two groups capable of ordering the American government to not see them. Even so, China has already been caught buying land next to military bases.

Hmm… there’s a third group… the military-industrial complex itself.

A spokesman for the base indicated that USAF officials “are aware of the multiple land purchases near the base and are actively working internally and externally with other agencies.”

The USAF’s Foreign Investment Risk Review Office has reportedly been looking into the group’s acquisitions, but has not yet been able to determine precisely who is backing Flannery Associates.

Unacceptable. Government knows who owns the land because a central, foundational purpose of government is guaranteeing property rights to landowners. That means they need to know. They don’t guarantee property rights to a lawyer representing words on a letterhead that may or may not be staging an invasion.

This mystery can be solved easily. Solano County government should confiscate that land and watch who complains. Deny the anonymizing middlemen “standing” in the courts. The mystery would be solved quickly.

All we know is that national-security-relevant information that government has a need to know regardless, is being withheld from the entire American government. By the same financialization industry that gutted the military so completely that the Pentagon is seizing black powder from toy companies.

The Journal indicated that local and federal officials’ inability to learn the identities of those in the Flannery group is in part due to the fact that Delaware-registered LLCs, such as Flannery Associates, do not have to publicly disclose the identity of their owners.

Change my mind on this: Delaware and New Jersey are 18th-Century predecessors of Blackrock and Vanguard. They aren’t states, they’re hedge funds with sovereignty. That’s why they’re huge presences in the financial sector, yet you never hear about them.

FedGov doesn’t know who lives next door to major military institutions… because of corporate privacy laws? They cracked Switzerland’s secrecy but not Delaware’s? What do they have an NSA for, if not for spying on Americans when they can’t get a search warrant?

FedGov allowing itself to be told No by a rented corporate lawyer is scarier than a Drag Queen Story Hour behind a police safety cordon. Both are government submission to an even darker power, but at least the fag is visible. Wish that he wasn’t.

This is not the first land grab in recent months to inspire concern.

The Washington Examiner recently noted that China, the U.S.’s preeminent adversary on the world stage, has been buying up vast swathes of American land. Whereas in 2011, when Chinese investors owned 69,295 acres of American land, by year-end 2021, they controlled nearly 400,000 acres.

This one ain’t China. Yes, it’s land next to a military base, but China wouldn’t pay $1b just for an espionage site. They’d pay a tiny percentage of that for a warehouse across the street, then put a brothel on the first floor and WMDs on the second. Bioweapons galore!

[I wrote that before finding out about their bioweapon lab in Reedley, CA that they didn’t pay squat for. Although that wasn’t directed at a military base.]

There are two reasons to buy land adjacent to a military base on the brink of war. One is to attack/spy on the base; the other is to be protected by the base.

The more I think about it, the more convinced I get that proximity to Travis is for safety, not aggression. And of course, not coincidence. A military-industrial tycoon could do much worse for an SHTF plan than a major air base’s backyard. Especially since “take the money and run” is, apparently, how the MIC’s been doing war since the 1960s.

I bet the reason they don’t just tell the military it’s okay, is because that money is supposed to be in the Ukraine.
