INVASION USA

     Last night, Title 42, another totally illegal series of restrictions imposed during the Scamdemic, expired. Title 42 dealt specifically with immigration, and resulted in backlogging processing of immigrant visas to the US for nearly three years. One would think that Conservatives would applaud the end of such an egregious act of Government overreach and be thankful that the INS is actually functioning again. One would think so, but the 'Conservative' of today isn't quite what the Conservative of a few years ago was.

    The Op-ed pages and press during the last 24 hours hasn't seen this level of panic and paranoia since a Chinese weather-balloon blew off course in February. For the last several months, we have here been exposing all of this anti-immigration rhetoric as a tissue of hoaxes, hysteria, and political grandstanding---mostly instigated by xenophobic fanatics and anti-Catholic bigots. There's no need in reciting all of the statistics and deep-dives on the subject again: anyone interested can search the blog archives for themselves; though, as is typical with subjects covered here, for all the good it did, they may as well have never been written at all. The Postmodern Right is as obsessed with building a Maginot Line on the Mexican Border as the Whacko Left is with planting a Rainbow Flag on top the Kremlin. 

     We've probably seen the term 'invasion' in the press more times this week than our grandparents saw on D-Day. I wish that these 'Conservatives' would worry a little more about things like widespread invasion of privacy being carried out by our government and their bosses in Big Tech. Or, if they're worried specifically about foreign invasions, maybe they should focus on things like the influence of foreign economic cartels like the WEF; or foreign ownership of US stocks, or maybe banning foreign lobbying. That seems a little higher priority than picking on people who cut lettuce and wash dishes.

    That hasn't stopped politicians from jumping into the debate and proposing many distinctly un-Conservative measures. Like Senator John Kennedy, who demands military action against Mexico (the fact that Mexico has huge oil reserves and Kennedy is on the hook to oil interests, we're certain has nothing to do with his position). Kennedy is worried about narcotics supposedly being smuggled across the border, maybe he should instead demand reinstating Trump's successful programs which led to reductions in Fentanyl overdoses for three consecutive years. 

   Then we have George Bush's handpicked successor as Texas Governor, Greg Abbott and Jeb's boy, Ron DeSantis in Florida. These two characters famously opposed Soros' migrant caravans---not by bringing any action against Soros---but by setting up migrant caravans of their own and dumping human beings out of state. Abbott has declared a 'state of emergency' to defend the Scamdemic Title 42 policy, and sent military forces to the border. That shouldn't be surprising, considering how eagerly he and other Conservative governors embraced the abuses of power under the phony 'health emergency,' but we digress. DeSantis, meanwhile, has passed through his rump legislature a bill expanding his powers to deport people and such Conservative ideals as mandating ID cards and requiring hospitals and churches to act as government informants. DeSantis also has thrown a version of the Chinese Exclusion Act into the mix. 

   Unilateral military actions; border walls; militarized police; government domestic espionage; mass deportations; restrictions on private property rights; criminalizing churches---all for the crime of seeking freedom and employment opportunities. Let's all hope that these are Conservative Values enough!

      It doesn't seem to have dawned on any of these yukks that a government willing to employ tactics like these against one group wouldn't hesitate to employ them against other groups---maybe even theirs. Experience with both Bush Administrations should have taught the American Right that fact. We were told back then how we needed enhanced domestic espionage to keep us safe. We just weren't told that included collecting private e-mails, no-fly lists, and lists of legal gun owners. Or how we needed extrajudicial police: we saw how well that worked out during Hurricane Katrina when relief workers were threatened with arrest and American citizens were subject to beatings and unlawful detention by private contractors. Just like the Ancient Greeks used to say of the Trojans: the American Right never learns until it's too late.

     Another thing most of these people conveniently overlook is the source of all of this anti-immigrant hysteria. Many of the philanthropic NGOs fanning all of this foolishness were founded by a character named John Tanton, who died in 2019. Aside from being a White Supremacist, Tanton also held high-ranking positions in the Sierra Club, where he promoted the Climate-Change hoax; as well as Planned Parenthood and Zero Population Growth. Tanton was also a great supporter of Bush's Real ID program and other forms of domestic espionage. I suppose that Tanton should get some credit at least for not pretending that there's any actual truth to the so-called Left-Right Paradigm, but it also illustrates the ideology driving the hatred of immigrants. Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, Sr. were two of Tanton's major financial backers in founding the Federation for American Immigration Reform. It isn't as though the connection between anti-immigration and global depopulation wasn't already obvious.

     Specimen of Tanton's Conservative Family Values: “Do we leave it to individuals to decide that they are the intelligent ones who should have more kids? And more troublesome, what about the less intelligent, who logically should have less? Who is going to break the bad news [to less intelligent individuals], and how will it be implemented?”

   Specimen of Tanton's Views on the Role of Faith in Society: "The Roman Catholic Church [and] several of the Protestant denominations, the Lutheran Church in particular, are among our opponents. One of the problems with churches is that they see themselves as universal, and as transcending national boundaries."

   It's no argument to pretend that the 'woke' Corporatists pay lip-service to supporting immigration. While it is true that they lobby to carve out exemptions for themselves---especially in the Tech Sector---WEF Strategic Partners Microsoft and Palantir (as well as the shady Deep State firms Booz Allen Hamilton and the GEO Group) all get fat exclusive contracts for outsourced immigration enforcement. Investment in Microsoft stocks seems to be very much a bipartisan issue as well. 

  The so-called 'immigration crisis' amounts to that: a cash-cow for opportunistic politicians and a useful public distraction for the Financial Interests which profit off both sides and laugh in their sleeves. Don't fall for it.
