With both wings of the verminous Corporate Media and opportunistic politicians and pundits excitedly throwing as much gasoline on the situation as possible, one the Establishment mouthpieces this morning reported that apparently some character is assembling a Migrant Caravan armed convoy to repel the alleged invasion of Texas.
"A retired US Army lieutenant colonel is organizing an armed convoy next week to the Texas border to, he says, hunt down migrants crossing into the US from Mexico. Hundreds of people already say they are coordinating travel plans for the convoy on Telegram as tensions continue to rise between the state and federal government over immigration.
"Pete Chambers, the lieutenant colonel who says he was a Green Beret, appeared on far-right school-shooting conspiracist Alex Jones’ InfoWars show on Thursday to outline plans for the 'Take Back Our Border' convoy, which has been primarily organized on Telegram.
“'What gets us to the enemy quickly is find, fix, and finish,' Chambers told Jones. 'That’s what we did in Syria when we took out ISIS really quick."
(Emphasis mine: no, he really did say that).
If he really does fight with the level of skill that our Pentagon displayed in Syria, then the migrants (or anybody else) really have nothing to fear in armed battle. The problem is, most of these migrants are unarmed civilians---and our brave xhes in uniform were proficient in killing them. This is especially concerning because the nutcase governing Texas has given a wink and nod to political violence and hinted that it wouldn't be unwelcome at the Southern Border.
In fact, Abbott does seem to desire a violent clash of some kind---and so does the Deep State. Abbott's anti-immigrant publicity stunts have not only been defeated multiple times in Court, they've cost the taxpayers more than it would have cost to accommodate the migrants. All of that money---and Texas is the second-largest recipient of federal funds for immigration---is going into the pockets of Abbott's Corporate cronies who manage transportation and private prison and security contractors. To pretend that Abbott has been acting with any kind of noble purpose in all of this is laughable.
Furthermore, Abbott is a wholly-owned asset of the Bush Machine, and the Bush Machine doesn't want Trump or any other populist back in the White House. This whole 'crisis' is so transparently being orchestrated and so obviously a trap that it's amazing that nobody sees through it. Even President-in-Exile Trump who unfortunately has a habit of falling into these traps himself is recklessly tying himself and the MAGA Movement to what likely be its final destruction.
With Abbott pushing the envelope and Biden playing possum, both sides are waiting hopefully that some Whacko like Chambers throws the match on the powder-keg, and we'll see history repeat itself. No: it won't be the shot heard round the world like 1775 at Lexington. It won't touch off Civil War 2.0. It will be like the OKC Bombing, 9/11, or the Scamdemic. All of these 'Conservatives' will roundly deplore the violence; suddenly they'll work together with the Junta to reach an agreement. Of course, we'll have tough new laws expanding surveillance and curbing Civil Liberties. Trump and his supporters will be the scapegoats, just like Jan6, and WEF Young Global Leader Nikki Haley can assume his place in the upcoming election.
Don't fall for this scam. Believe it or not, the Corporate Oligarchs and the Deep State really are more of an imminent threat than the guy selling wares from a food cart on your street. This is all a part of the Strategy of Tension and should be treated by us all accordingly.
Arrgg, this just seems so foolish and pointless. Wish wisdom and calmer minds would prevail once in a while.
ReplyDeleteSomething a lot of people don't seem to realize, a good chunk of immigrants, including illegal ones, are actually pretty conservative. So those speaking up and school board meetings are often Muslims from the ME and Catholics from Mexico and South America. These people are often our allies in conservative causes. So when we make blanket statements about "immigrants" and act as if they are ALL the enemy, we kind of cook our own goose.
I think that there's a strong strain of anti-Islam and anti-Catholicism driving a lot of this too. Also, a good part of it is envy: these people come here and do what the native-born should be doing. I suspect that the same jealousy fuels a lot of the anti-China and anti-Russia hysteria too.
