If I may add to the speculation. . . .
Imagine the roles reversed. Could the US secure land in another nation? Have we done this before?
And finally, how successful has it been?
If this is what is happening, what blows me away is how completely insulated and bubble like their perceptions are. They honestly believe...again, IF this is happening...that Americans will tolerate this? They really think millions of us will continue to see the comforts of daily life worth more than the very Soul of our nation? I'm really sorry if our President and others have NO concept of nationalism and national pride to fight for on that alone ....but MANY millions of us DO feel that way, I believe.. and yeah, well worth fighting for.
You'd think someone would explain that very American concept to them if they couldn't understand it by life experience.

Fascinating ideas presented here. However, under normal operation these parks charge admission, camping fees, boat launch fees, etc. They also provide law enforcement and fish and game control. Not that this info in any revelation to anyone here. Wouldn't it be a more likely senario that they don't want people getting freebees and running amok in our parks? Just sayin'...
one problem with that is when queen victoria died the bankers sized canada they declared it a ship without a captain under maritime law .

As a Canadian I would gladly join an American insurgent group against the Chinese.
Canada has the worlds third largest oil reserves, plus the worlds largest supply of fresh water. It would only be a matter of time before they came for us as well.
Long Live North America!
Fact: China is the third largest holder of US debt at roughly 1.2 trillion greenbacks. They can call in this debt at any moment THEY choose. No act or appropriations bill could stop it.

We are postulating the reasons why the government would keep people out of National Parks, not what a shut down means.
