In a recent report for the Libertarian Institute, I traced connections between the American and Saudi players rebuilding Gaza into a surveillance city-state—and building Saudi surveillance cities whose offshoots are finding their ways to America. Digging deeper into these links shows an even more troubling picture with sharper implications for American policy and even, disturbingly, some Americans' daily lives.

The connections begin with China's infiltration of Saudi Arabia, but they don't end there. They move across the Atlantic to America at the hands of Saudi-connected politicians backed by American supporters of Israel. Then they circle back to China and its infiltration of the United States via state-owned companies buying up American property at the hands of the same American movers backing the Saudis and Israel.
