The
Crabgrass Connection

by Lin Stone

Cunning Chinese scientists invented fireworks centuries before Francis Scott Key wrote the Star Spangled Banner. Their favorite little sparkler was a plunder-triggered land mine known as "Underground Sky-Soaring Thunder." Anyone that plucked up the plunder got triggered sky high on a wave of thunder.

Floating marine mines were invented by the Chinese in the 14th century, using inflated ox bladders. In this century they have cunningly invented marine "Smart" Mines too, mines smart enough to border on the brilliant.

Actually, they extend a little beyond the border. Chinese Smart Mines can tell the difference between Carriers and Love Boats. They can even spot the X in the plosion where the damage would be the most xasperating. That's pretty sophisticated for a government that pays people to cut grass with stainless steel scissors.

Smart Mines are dangerous even if they don't get loose into the open sea. Recent history tells us that just 1,000 Iraqi sea mines decided military strategists against an amphibious invasion in Desert Storm, and Hussein is so far behind the times that he still uses goats to keep the grass trimmed.

The Pentagon doesn't need my advice on how to trim grass on the Carriers. But obviously my skills are required by the grass-roots politicians who are just blowing hot smoke when it comes to defending us from a Chinese invasion.

"Whoa, come on now, their sam-pans would never make it across the ocean in one piece!"

You are right to be so sarcastic of course, which is why their Smart Mines are designed to let Love Boats in -- and out. Love Boats haul in chicken parts, Rice Krispies, and computer chips. Then the Love Boats haul out scissors, wrenches, and fireworks for our use.

Sending us their War Surplus scissors is just a friendly deception. It is those innocuous firecrackers that are carrying the Real Invaders.

"For crying out loud, how many Chinamen do you believe can be hiding in a little bitty firecracker?"

I admit, the number is probably less than one

But let's face facts here.  During the 50th anniversary of their revolution Beijing officials firmly announced development of a helicopter the size of a wasp for its reconnaissance missions.  That is positive proof of their powers of miniaturization.

Compare those powers to the best us can do: personified in Lockheed's MicroStar.  It has only a six-inch wingspan and can do a 20-minute mission at speeds of up to 30 mph while relaying back a video signal.  In Europe the Mainz Institute for microtechnology has clearly shown that experimental wasp-sized craft can really fly.  Obviousy Beijing is ahead of us in micro-electro-mechanical technology, the very same method used to manufacture those tiny little microchips.

Please note... When I was a cowboy we had a flat on the front tire of a brand new 4640 John Deere tractor.  We were going to fix it ourselves.  Bill brought out his best American made tools (I won't mention the name but it is guaranteed for life) and we took off all the nuts but one.  That one nut would not budge.  Bill brought out the breaker bar and the nut still would not budge.  So we added a cheater bar, and the socket broke.  
Leon brought out his brand new American made, high dollar-top quality tool set (I won't mention the name but it is guaranteed for life) and put the cheater bar on it. He got on it.  Bill got on it, that was 300 pounds, and that American made, high dollar-top quality breaker bar broke.  
Well, just for the fun of it, I brought out my cheap, Chinese made, $19.95 for the whole set, tool kit.  We put the cheater bar back on that breaker bar and Bill and Leon got on it.  They jumped up and down, and the nut did not come loose.  So I got on there with them; that's a total 525 pounds of pressure on a six foot long cheater bar.  We jumped up and down for over two minutes and finally it broke,
No, it was not my cheap, Chinese made, $19.95 for the whole set, tool kit that broke; it was that American-made nut that came apart.  My cheap, Chinese made, $19.95 for the whole set, tool kit was still in one piece and gleaming innocently!

Now that was several years ago and I'm sure that by now American products have improved so much you can't tell them apart from the cheap imitations flooding our stores everywhere.

Nonetheless, the moral to this story is plain for all to see:  You just can't trust a country that will produce tools with quality that high, then ship them all the way over here, and do it so cheaply they can still sell them for next to nothing!

They are doing us like the dove, pretending it's wing is broken so it can lead us astray. It's like the North Vietnamese making us think we could whip them for four years before they lowered the boom on us.

The Chinese Communists are out to get us,
one way
-- or another.

"Okay, Okay. 
"So they are better than us.  
"So what?"

You've heard of the French Connection?
Well, think of this as
the Crabgrass Connection:

No.  They are not sending Chinese midgets over here inside their firecrackers; The plot is far more sinister than that.

I believe they are infiltrating our shores with Chinese Crabgrass.

Americans told them how to do it, of course. For years now our scientists have used four-legged Johnny Appleseeds to help restore our home on the range.

They do it by feeding cattle little gelatin capsules filled with native grass seeds. A Department of Agriculture plant geneticist indicates that as many as 55,000 seeds can be hidden in a single capsule!

These grass-loaded capsules pass through the kine in a few days and plop out in a patty of pure fertilize, miles and miles away. The sun opens the package, and the winds of nature broadcast the rest.

Chinese Fireworks don't have to wait on the wind to spread their seeds.
We send them up,,, A blast, poof,
and who's to even notice the tatters floating down?

Evidence supporting my belief in the Crabgrass Connection is pretty damning: With 628,000,000 pounds of herbicide being used in the United States every year, some of the crabgrass ought to be disappearing. But you know as well as I do, you have more crabgrass in your yard than ever. You can smell those seeds coming from somewhere, and it isn't Denmark.

When is the last time you bought a firecracker that was not made in China? The fact is, last year we bought over 79,000,000 pounds of fireworks from Communist China, miniaturizing champion of the world.

Is there any way to check all of them for that sprinkling of Chinese Crabgrass seeds?

Indeed, are ANY of these firecrackers checked thoroughly?

Any country that would sow the seas with Smart Mines would sow our sod with crabgrass with even less scruples showing. And they would not hesitate a second just because we shoot off their fireworks on New Year's Eve and the 4th of July, either.

That is twice a year (once before crabgrass germination time and once during the flowering season) that we xplode their little caches in displays of ecstatic loyalty Hit's Xploding!right over the top of our Nation's Capital.

{With every blast the seeds of destruction are being scattered all over Washington. Why some of that crabgrass must fall right on the White House lawn itself.} Meanwhile, all the evidence is blown sky-high by our own hands in dazzling bursts of star spangled affection.

The state capitals and other large cities are scarcely less ecstatic with their displays of Chinese fireworks to express our patriotism.

From shore to shining shore, 98% of the fireworks we import from China is xploded in less than one eight hour burst. If just one cracker in a thousand is popping with half a load of Chinese Crabgrass it is easy to explain why we now need cheap scissors from China more than they do!
