THIS WON'T END WELL

       Texas Governor Greg Abbott is at it again: this time one of his anti-immigration publicity stunts is about to spiral out of control. Abbott first made headlines by ethnically cleansing deporting migrants who'd been cleared for entry by INS through forced bussing 'voluntary' transports to Democrat cities. These deportations notoriously recruited these 'volunteers' outside churches, gave them no provisions for a long bus trip and typically dumped them in bad weather conditions in cities ill-prepared to deal with them. While it's true that Texas gets more money from the Federal Trough for immigration than any other State except California, it's noteworthy that Abbott---despite all of his rhetoric about 'Federal failure' at the Border hasn't turned down any Federal money and volunteered to let Texas pay for border security itself.

    Abbott since has been pushing the envelope, including installing razor wire on an international border (which is unconstitutional); mobilizing his secret police to enforce immigration laws (which is also unconstitutional); mobilizing his private army to usurp Federal authority (ditto); erected barriers in international waters (ditto and in violation of International Law). Yesterday, he defied a Supreme Court Order and declared a 'State of Emergency' over a 'foreign invasion.' 

    This has met with considerable applause from the so-called Political Right---the ones who believe in the sanctity of the Constitution and the Rule of Law (but only when it suits them). One Alpha blowhard in the Texas Legislature quoted Andrew Jackson about a Supreme Court Decision "they have made their decision now let them enforce it." Besides taking this quote out of context, the also forget that when South Carolina took a similar position over the Tariff of 1832, the same President Jackson vowed to lead the US Army personally into South Carolina and "hang anybody taken in treason." 

    

      

       The Junta so far has restricted its response to these outrages to legal challenges, and Abbott's flying monkeys have been egging on even more extreme rhetoric. Before they go too far here, they should consider a few points (aside from the illegality and immorality of Abbott's actions):

      1. Abbott is a pawn of the Bush Machine.

      2. The GOP-controlled Congress has been blocking funding for increased Border Security.

      3. It's a rather dubious claim that any 'invasion' is actually occurring. 

      To try and pretend that there's some great principle involved here, consider how bravely the American Right stood up to Obamacare, homo 'marriage,' the Scamdemic, the Floyd Riots, the Election Steal, the anti-Trump witch hunts, and have slavishly rubber-stamped all of the Junta's nominees and policies. It's out of character for them to stand for anything. Then there is the WEF's dictates about restoring trust and fighting online extremism. Then there is the fact that the Junta seems to be waiting for some situation where they clearly have to act. Finally, consider that this is an Election Year and the Establishment would like nothing more than another False Flag like 2020.

     Abbott's actions and rhetoric are bound to lead to violence of some kind; indeed, that seems to be what he desires. Let us not forget that the Junta and the Oligarchy also desire it. Nothing would give them a greater excuse for a crackdown on 'extremists' than violence stemming from the clearly illegal actions and borderline-psychopathic speeches coming from the contemporary Right. 

     In other words, this isn't going to end well and it is very likely being orchestrated for that exact purpose. Recall the Strategy of Tension which, we'll remind everyone was devised by a former general---now a Fox News 'security analyst' and a Satanic Cult leader. If one is inclined to doubt that that can be done, just remember the George Floyd Riots. The Oligarchy has no shortage of rent-a-mobs, patsies, trolls, and other stooges---not to mention a servile Media at its disposal. 

    Unfortunately, the American Right seems to be living in this Cloud-Cuckooland fantasy world where everyone is suddenly going to roll up their sleeves, turn into Rambo, and take their country back. It isn't going to happen. Realistically, the American Right is a lot closer to having a jackboot come down on their throats than they are of merrily waltzing into the Beltway singing God Bless America after fighting the Regime in a Homeric battle. We're being set up again for a hard fall. The Junta hasn't made any secret of their intentions and it's an even bigger illusion to believe that the political Right won't cave in and support them as they always have.
