Japan considering expanding refugee resettlement to 60

/in , , , , /by

LOL! That doubles their present resettlement numbers.

Every year the UN High Commissioner for Refugees goes to Japan to nag them about resettling refugees.

I doubt they impressed the UN High Commissioner for Refugees when he arrived there yesterday.

From The Japan Times:

Japan will consider accepting more Asian refugees from 2020, with an eye to doubling the current annual ceiling of about 30 to strengthen its response to regional humanitarian needs, government sources said Monday.

The government will review its current policy of receiving refugees only from Myanmar under the third-country resettlement program led by the UNHCR, the United Nations refugee agency, while promoting their settlement not only in Tokyo and surrounding areas but in other parts of the country, according to the sources.

Tokyo is expected to convey the idea to U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi, who is scheduled to visit Japan from Wednesday, the sources said.

Rohingya! For years I’ve been reporting that Japan was being sensible and saving itself from turmoil by not admitting Muslim refugees.  Oh well.

Since 2010 under the third-country resettlement program, Japan has accepted a total of 174 Myanmar refugees, or 44 families, including some Rohingya Muslims from the western Rakhine State who had been persecuted and moved to neighboring Thailand and Malaysia.

Japan is known for its tight immigration policy. In 2017, the country accepted only 20 of about 20,000 people who applied for refugee status and allowed 45 to stay in the country on humanitarian grounds, according to the Justice Ministry.

Security concerns, yes. But, will their desire for cheap labor cause them to throw caution to the wind?

But some members of the LDP division expressed caution over the new status, pointing to a possible deterioration in public safety resulting from an increase in the number of foreigners in the country.

Shigeharu Aoyama, an Upper House member, said he absolutely opposes the law revision, stressing that the employment of Japanese people should be increased first to solve the nation’s labor shortages. One participant called for the division to spend sufficient time examining the legislation.

They plan to spread the new migrants out to the rural areas of the country.

Just the beginning?

USCCB Gives $240,000 to Group Promoting Planned Parenthood, Prostitution, LGBTs

/in , , , , , /by

by Michael Hichborn  •  ChurchMilitant.com

Since 2010, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has made several large financial contributions to an organization in San Francisco that is actively promoting all manner of immorality. Through grants from the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD), which is an official project of the USCCB, the Coalition on Homelessness has received $240,000 in four grants: $40,000 for 2010–2011; $50,000 for 2014–2015; $75,000 for 2015–2016; and $75,000 for 2016–2017, the last available grants list on the USCCB website.

According to the archdiocese of San Francisco website, the Coalition on Homelessness is slated to receive another CCHD grant for 2017–2018, though the amount has not yet been disclosed.

The problem is that the Coalition on Homelessness (COH) is very vocal about its support for Planned Parenthood, birth control, homosexuality, transgenderism, legalized prostitution and even legalized drug use.

COH has its own print publication called Street Sheet, which is a bi-monthly paper that reaches about 16,000 people through homeless or low-income distributors.

In other words, COH is an agenda-driven firm that is using the homeless to spread its ideologies. What follows are a few examples of the grossly immoral propaganda.

This May 2017 issue of Street Sheet carries an article with the headline “Where is the Reproductive Justice for Homeless Women?” (page 7). In the article, the author makes three statements promoting Planned Parenthood. She says:

Many women’s rights to reproductive health and family planning services are being violated through recent actions by the Trump administration plans to stop funding to programs such as Planned Parenthood.

Low-income and homeless women need access to services from organizations such as Planned Parenthood, Women’s Community Clinic, and Women’s Health Justice.

In fact, Planned Parenthood participates annually in a fair put on by Project Homeless Connect, a San Francisco social service organization.

On June 1, 2018, Street Sheet published what it called the “Sex Work Issue.” This issue is filled with unrepeatable and filthy “poetry,” promotes transgenderism and most prominently calls for the decriminalization of prostitution. The issue contains headlines like “Criminalizing Sex Work Creates Violence” and a raunchy poem by a “transgender sex-worker.” Page 5 of this issue contains an ad for the “March for Sex Worker Rights,” which is aimed at combating anti-sex trafficking laws.

The last page of the sex worker issue contains a full-page social media ad, which says, “I Support Sex Workers and Homeless People” and contains the hash-tag “#SexWorkIsWork.” This page instructs people to take a selfie, fix it to the white area of the page, take a picture of that and post it on Instagram, tagging the organization “@coalitiononhomelessness.”

EXCLUSIVE: Radio host speaks out after PSU says he can’t concealed carry

/in , , , /by
  • Portland State University’s College Republicans chapter invited conservative radio host, Lars Larson, to speak at the university.
  • The university demanded that Larson, a Second Amendment advocate, state that he would not concealed carry on campus.

Conservative radio host Lars Larson compared campus gun culture to National Lampoon in an exclusive interview with Campus Reform after Portland State University told him he could not carry on campus.

The school’s College Republicans chapter invited a local pro-Second Amendment radio host, Lars Larson, to live stream his show at their Second Amendment Celebration event planned for Monday. Portland State, however, has a policy prohibiting anyone from bringing firearms on campus, and as a result, the school ruled that the invitation would be rescinded if Larson chose to conceal carry a firearm.

“We are requiring you to affirmatively state that you will not intend to and will not carry a firearm on PSU’s campus, either openly or concealed, during the event hosted by the Portland State College Republicans on October 22, 2018,” PSU General Counsel Cynthia J. Starke said in a letter to Larson.

“If your group invites a guest to campus, and you know your guest inten[d]s to violate any PSU policy, your group would go through SALP community standards, and in addition, your individual group leaders who assisted with the event planning may go through the conduct process with the Dean of Student Life Office,” PSU College Republicans advisor Virginia Luka said in an email exchange with the group’s student leadership.

The College Republicans told Campus Reform that its members saw this as a threat of academic sanctions, group defunding, and pulling recognition from the group entirely if Larson were to show up to the event armed.

“It’s like National Lampoon,” Larson told Campus Reform. “‘Buy this magazine or we’ll shoot this dog.’ Come to campus, and we will, metaphorically, shoot these students.”

“What the university says is, in effect, you have the right to carry, and if you do, we’ll kick you out,” the radio host said. “It would be like saying ‘Yeah! You have a right to practice whatever religion you want, but you Muslims? Leave your niqabs at home. Don’t cover your face.’”

“I just think the University was being jerks,” Larson added.

The group ultimately did not hold the event. By Larson’s account, the school disinvited him, but by the school’s account, as Kenny Ma, PSU’s Director of Media & Public Relations, told Campus Reform, the group canceled the event themselves.

Larson asserted that PSU’s firearm policy is contradictory to Oregon state law.

“The people shall have the right to bear arms for the defence [sic] of themselves, and the State, but the Military shall be kept in strict subordination to the civil power,” The State Right to Bear Arms in Oregon states.

Larson went on to cite the Oregon state court of appeals ruling made in 1995.

“Except as expressly authorized by state statute, the authority to regulate in any matter whatsoever the sale, acquisition, transfer, ownership, possession, storage, transportation or use of firearms or any element relating to firearms and components thereof, including ammunition, is vested solely in the Legislative Assembly,” the statute says.

Larson referenced an incident pertaining to gun rights in Oregon.

Western Oregon University suspended a student in 2011 for carrying a gun on campus. The case progressed to higher courts, which eventually ruled that licensed concealed carry holders are permitted to carry on public school grounds.

“The Oregon Constitution, the wording of it, is even stronger than the 2nd Amendment to the federal Constitution,” Larson said. He emphatically claimed that what the school is doing is unconstitutional and illegal and that no public institution can infringe one’s right to bear arms.

The radio host tried inviting the group to his studio, but this was allegedly limited by a month-long waiting period necessary to register a student group field trip.

“[The school] is gonna find a way to stop [the event] through other mechanisms of threatening the students for having done it,” Larson said, referring to that development. “And I think that’s an evil thing for PSU to do.”

When asked why he wouldn’t just leave his firearm at home to avoid trouble, he asserted that doing so would set a precedent.

“It would be the height of hypocrisy, for me to say ‘I’m going to go talk to these kids about the importance of their Second Amendment rights,’ while voluntarily forfeiting mine,” the radio host told Campus Reform.

He compared it to “coming up [to campus] to talk about Christianity but [the school says] take your cross off and don’t you dare bring the book.”

Larson stressed that he would hate to see a student’s education ruined over him coming to an event, explaining why he would not break PSU’s rules by concealed carrying at a College Republicans event.

He filled Campus Reform in on his plan of action moving forward, as well.

“Later this week, my producer and I will walk up, sit down in the student union, and I’m gonna do five or ten minutes on a Facebook live-stream, explaining the entire background,” Larson said. “I cannot speak to the students unless I give up my civil rights, I cannot do the broadcast that I wanted to do, and the students have been threatened.”

Larson told Campus Reform that he plans to conceal carry his firearm when he live-streams from the school.

The Rape of Lady Liberty

/in , , , /by

There has been much talk about rape lately. Wikipedia tells us that “Rape is a sexual assault usually involving sexual intercourse or other forms of sexual penetration carried out against a person without that person’s consent. The act may be carried out by physical force, coercion, abuse of authority, or against a person who is incapable of giving valid consent, such as one who is unconscious, incapacitated, has an intellectual disability or is below the legal age of consent.”

The critical element in rape is penetration. The dictionary tells us that penetration is the action or process of making a way through something or into something. So let’s talk about rape and penetration. Rape is a horrific and violent crime that violates the most personal private boundaries of an individual. Rape is distinguished by the penetration of sexual boundaries but what about the penetration of other boundaries?

Let’s consider the breaching of less personal boundaries – our homes, our cities, and our country as we watch a menacing migration invasion march toward our national borders.

American homes are protected physically by border walls, doors, locks, alarm systems, and by laws. The U.S. Constitution declares that our homes may not be subject to unlawful search or seizure. Property laws protect ownership of our private homes as individual assets of private citizens. Citizen A cannot violate the property boundaries of Citizen B any more than he can violate the sexual boundaries of Citizen B. Citizen B is protected by our Constitution, laws, and a society that respects both. So far so good.

What happens when Citizen A violates the law and rapes Citizen B or unlawfully enters his home and decides to move in?

In a lawful, law-abiding society, the police remove Citizen A and he is prosecuted for the crimes he has committed. There is a recognition that breaching boundaries whether sexual in nature or not is unlawful. If Citizen A is found guilty he is imprisoned and loses his precious liberty.

Liberty has historically been the most prized possession of citizens of the United States of America. The tired huddled masses yearning to be free who immigrated lawfully to America in the 19th and 20th centuries came for freedom, they came for opportunity, and they came for the individualism and upward mobility that define the American dream. They came for democracy and capitalism – they did not come for socialism. I will repeat – they did not come for socialism.

Author and political commentator Gloria Alvarez speaks passionately on this subject and implores legal immigrants who fled socialism in their home countries NOT to vote for it in the United States.

Socialism is a destroyer of boundaries – socialism destroys individualism and supports collectivism. Socialism says that your house is my house, your money is my money, and the state is the owner, controller, arbiter, and distributor of it all. There is no private property or property boundaries in socialism – you are a ward of the state. The Democrat party is the party of socialism.

Americans have fought to preserve and protect the precious freedom that protects their individual boundaries for 242 years – until now. WHAT? I will repeat. Americans have fought to preserve and protect their precious freedom that protects their individual boundaries for 242 years – until now.

The Leftist Democrat campaign to transform America into a socialist state is a boundary crasher – a destroyer of the American dream and the Constitutional protections that support it. So, why would any American lobby for an anti-American collectivist system designed to destroy the individualism and upward mobility that is the source of the American dream?

The answer is found in the infamous instruction manual for revolution written by the communist mentor of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, Saul Alinsky, in 1971. In Rules for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals. Alinsky rejects the guns and bombs of violent revolution and instead tutors radicals in “soft” revolution through social activism designed to shatter America from within. Ex-president Obama, America’s premier community organizer in chief, spent eight years seeding the U.S. government with like-minded leftist ideological radicals, greedy corruptible globalist politicians, and Muslim Brotherhood operatives intent on destroying America from within.

Obama’s lesser-known mentors socialists Cloward and Piven, provided the paradigm for economic collapse by deliberately overloading the American welfare system. The menacing midterm migrant invasion marching toward our southern border is a catastrophic economic overload to our welfare system if allowed to breach our borders. It is Cloward and Piven’s destructive economic paradigm on steroids deliberately staged to produce the most damaging optics in hopes of swinging the midterm elections toward the Democrats.

t is not accidental that women and children are leading the parade – what are the armed U.S. soldiers at the border going to do? Shoot them?

Bob Weir has written an excellent article titled “Would you use military on the border?” that discusses the power of these manipulative optics.

The Democrats have degraded themselves and embraced the despicable jihadi tactics of putting women in front of men and children in front of women. It is essential that the voting American public understand the manipulative social engineering involved in this contrived human parade and not be seduced by its cunning Hollywood optics.

The critical element in rape is penetration.

These midterm migrants are not the teeming masses yearning to be free from the 19th and 20th century, and they are not a spontaneous gathering of impoverished refugees seeking legal entry into the land of opportunity. The caravan marchers are illegal paid-for political operatives participating in the organized rape of Lady Liberty, funded by the Leftist/Islamist/Globalist axis. The midterm migration caravan is a well-organized anti-Trump invasion force heading toward our southern border in defiance of our immigration laws.

Most people recognize guns and bombs as the weapons of war – not enough realize that indoctrination and population shifting are the preferred weapons of 21st century warfare. Mass immigration is deceitfully presented as a humanitarian effort. In reality, population shifting is a powerful weapon designed to destabilize the host country economically and culturally. It is being used worldwide by the Leftist/Islamist/Globalist axis to internationalize the world under one world government.

The massive Muslim migration of sharia compliant Muslims with hostile norms has successfully destabilized Europe with the cooperation of the Leftist leadership in the European Union. Population jihad has created social chaos, Muslim no-go zones, threatened secular law, and increased violent crimes of rape and murder to staggering proportions. The massive midterm migration caravan threatening our souther border is intended to destabilize the United States with the cooperation of the Leftist Democrat party supporting the caravan and open borders.

The optics are extremely manipulative – Honduran women with children are paid to present an image of vulnerable refugees seeking shelter at the border – the problem is that they are not legitimate refugees – they are paid political activists participating in an attack on our sovereignty staged to look like a humanitarian wave.

The fraudulent migration invasion is parallel to the fraudulent Steele dossier that was also created by the Leftist Democrats in an effort to topple President Trump. POTUS is the existential enemy of Globalism, Leftism, and Islamism. He is unapologetically patriotic with an America-first agenda that is the greatest obstacle to the stated goals of one world government shared by the Leftist/Islamist/Globalist axis.

When paid political “migrants” storm the US border it is population jihad – an invasion supported by the Democrat party that is a penetration and violation of the boundaries of the United States. It is the rape of Lady Liberty.

The Leftist/Islamist/Globalist axis has common cause to destroy America from within. The Left is desperate to win the midterm elections in their efforts to overthrow duly elected President Donald Trump. The phony Steele dossier was not successful, Stormy Daniels was not successful, Christine Blasey Ford was not successful, so now the desperate Democrats have stooped to supporting the breaching of our nation’s borders to accomplish their goals. Here is the problem.

Is anyone actually foolish enough to believe that Soros, Clinton, Obama, Pelosi, et al are going to share their wealth or invite these midterm migrants into their own homes?? Of course not – the midterm migration is a political power grab. The Left thinks it will improve their chances to prevail in the midterm elections and begin the process of allowing illegals to vote for them legally. The Globalists think it will improve their chances to internationalize the world in one world government after the Left has successfully overthrown POTUS and destabilized the government. The Islamists think it will help shatter America from within and improve their chances of establishing a global caliphate.

The Leftist/Islamist/Globalist axis that supports the midterm migration invasion is the enemy within. The breaching of boundaries is a crime whether those boundaries are sexual or territorial. The midterm migration caravan cannot be allowed to enter the United States and destroy the country from within.

There has been much talk about rape lately – now it is time to protect Lady Liberty from the gang rape of the midterm migration invasion supported by the Leftist/Islamist/Globalist axis. If it becomes necessary to shoot then the army must shoot – the shooting should begin at the back of the line where the men who are criminals and members of ISIS are hiding.

Desperate Acts of the Deep State — Vote Red

/in , , , /by

Sending fake bombs and then reporting fake news. Acts of the evil and insane. “No matter how paranoid or conspiracy-minded you are, what the government is doing is worse than you imagine.” – William Blum (former U.S. State Dept. employee)

There is a system in place, a clandestine, sophisticated network that controls the world we live in. It creates the narrative that permeates throughout the world and becomes the false reality we have all come to know as our way of life. Our civilization is entering the beginning stages of a major collision, and a much-needed course correction is in order. President Trump and we the people must meet this challenge. Failure is not an option. And so we see Desperate Acts of the Deep State – Vote Red and get others to do so.

Psychopaths and Sociopaths

The world is run by insane people with insane objectives. These individuals are living in a chronic state of fear and believe that everyone is a threat to them and to their very survival. They are crazy. They seek to dominate. They seek absolute control over every aspect of our lives. They seek to suppress and to destroy. They are warmongers and dictators. Many of the men are dressed in expensive business suits and the women in expensive pant suits. Unlike most of the human race, they carry out their acts with absolutely no conscience whatsoever as they are deranged and detached from the light of God to such an extent that evil permeates through them. You should know by now who these individuals are, and if you don’t you will be able to identify them soon, once you come to learn about False Flag Operations, Problem-Reaction-Solution, and the Hegelian Dialectic.

These psychopaths and sociopaths are hard to detect, as they are intelligent, clever, artful, and often rise to positions of power. Many of these individuals are sexual deviants, pedophiles, and belong to demonic groups as recently released by WikiLeaks. They are very manipulative and have seized power and control over every aspect of our lives, our speech, and even our thoughts. They have infiltrated and corrupted our education system, health-care system, religious in-stitutions, the media, and most all forms of entertainment. They have seized control over and poisoned our food supply and all natural resources. Yes, it is this shadow government and deep state that controls the world in which live, making Earth and its inhabitants prisoners on a prison planet.

Actions of the Evil and Insane

They send fake bombs and then report fake news. They poison our food, air, land, and water. They who force dangerously laced vaccinations on us and rain toxic heavy metals down on us from the sky (geo-engineering / chemtrails). It is they who build nuclear power plants on top of earthquake faults and in tsunami zones. They (as recently released by WikiLeaks) are satanic pedophiles. They start and fund all wars. They murder, rape, and pillage with no conscience and without consequence. They violate laws, racking up scores of felonies by keeping vital secrets of a nation on a private server in the bathroom with no firewall or security of any kind, yet escape justice. We must know who our enemy is and label them. We must not permit our enemy to define for us who our enemy is, as this is a diversion. This is divide and conquer.

The Big Club

They formed, own, and control the “big club” and like the comedian George Carlin  said, “You and me, we ain’t in it.” We are nothing more than pawns on the chessboard of life being used as they so choose. They think of us and describe us as useless eaters. So who is part of the big club? The big club can be described as an intricate, interconnected web of organizations, corporations, religions, and governments mostly made up of unelected leaders, many of whom are inbred.

Global Governance and the NWO

Global governance is about power and control over everything, including life itself. These tyrannical psychopaths are in fact the shadow government, weaving their web of chaos and destruction. They use the front groups, treaties, institutions, and governments they established as well as the puppets they put in place to man these. Puppets like the Bushes, Obama, Merkel, Clinton, Blake, Trudeau, to name but a few. It is not Israel; it is not the U.S., Russia, or China. It is not any identifiable government. It is this shadow government and its henchman and accomplices who are the enemies of freedom. These are our true enemies. Know your enemy well.

Due to the rising awareness of the New World Order and its objectives to control every aspect of our lives, they have gradually over the years changed the name and are now better known as globalism or global governance. Sure sounds nice but make no mistake about it, the New World Order is in full force, and so, meet the new boss—same as the old boss.

Remember this announcement from “Papa Bush”? This is a very short video clip of then President George Herbert Walker Bush telling the American people about the stated goal and implementation of the New World Order.

Watch the clip. Share it on social media with those who call you a conspiracy theorist. Well, that vision of a NWO is here and almost completely implemented, up until now. There is a chance that we can begin to reverse this dwindling spiral but not without a battle, a deadly serious battle at that.

Global governance is aimed at controlling every aspect of our lives, whether it’s financial through the World Bank, the Federal Reserve, the Central Bank, International Monetary Fund, or the large inter-governmental institutions like the United Nations, World Health Organization, and World Trade Organization, which are pushing Agenda 21 and Agenda 2030 to end property rights for everyone and push us into nation less states. They are pushing the growth of NATO (Thank you Presidnet Trump for taking this on) and a supranational military organization. The government is out of control, and that’s all a part of global governance.

National sovereignty is falling apart but with our brave and brilliant Nationalist President Donald Trump things are changing. Thus fake bombs, fake news and the midterm mayhem. Throughout the world, national sovereignty structures are crumbling under a global governance push and this is why they threw everything they had at Donald Trump in an attempt to prevent his election and they are doing so today to affect the mid-term election. They will fail. Why? God is on our side, that’s why. We operate from within the light with love and compassion. We are dealing with good, not evil and truth, not lies. We are on the right side of history. Vote red and get others to do so.

It’s Time For America To Go On The Offensive On Immigration

/in , , , , , , , /by

Mine is a love-hate relationship with Geraldo Rivera. I find him comical and light-hearted most of the time. But then he goes off and says the stupidest things; so dumb it makes Juan Williams look professorial.

In particular, Geraldo Rivera tends to fall off the deep end when he speaks of immigration, and yesterday was no exception. In an article expressing his proposal at resolving the immigration crisis, Geraldo wrote,

“In exchange for leniency and a path to citizenship for long-time undocumented residents already in this country — who were brought to the U.S. as children by their parents — pro-immigration advocates, like me, should announce our support for President Trump’s border wall. It will help restore order along the southern border, and mitigate the hysteria currently gripping the national immigration debate and tainting the mid-term elections.”

Never mind that the position of immigration advocates regarding the President of the United States has no bearing on the state of affairs in Central America; the notion that continued opposition to President Trump’s border wall will have any effect on his resolve to pursue it is also ill-conceived. Moreover, it is increasingly clear to most Americans that advocating for an open border is an absurd position that only serves to work against the interests of the United States and its citizens.

But included in Geraldo’s article is a statement that crosses the border between political discourse and unsubstantiated, discriminatory speech. Specifically, Geraldo wrote,

“It is, in my opinion, fear of our nation being over-run by poor, hungry, brown people in sufficient numbers to change our basic national character, which motivates most critics of this caravan and, more broadly, illegal immigration.”

I can confidently speak not only for my position, but also for that of anyone I have spoken to regarding border protection, and I have been discussing this issue a heck of a lot, that in absolutely no case has anyone factored the color of one’s skin or the nationality of those crossing illegally in the analysis of immigration. Quite the opposite; the only topics that keep coming up are our national sovereignty, our economy, and our national security. And for me, the most important of these is our national sovereignty.

So, in response, let me tell share with you my proposal on how to address this issue.

First, the necessity of building the wall, at this point, is a foregone conclusion. With the chaos we are witnessing to the south of us, there is no valid argument against it to be made. Build the wall, and build it now!

Second, the more immediate question is what to do about the thousands of individuals who are heading to our southern border at this moment. Here, I think the United States is making a big mistake in playing defense. Like prevent defense in football, the United States is sitting at the end zone waiting for its opponent to arrive in the hope that once it gets there it will be able to stop it, or the clock will run out. But there is not clock on the massive caravan coming our way, nor the one forming behind it.

I say, the United States needs to go on offense.

The United States needs to coordinate an affirmative effort with Mexico to dissuade the “dissidents” from proceeding. The effort should begin with the airdropping of leaflets, in Spanish, letting the migrants know that they are continuing their journey at their own peril and that if they should choose to continue, they will be stopped, by force if necessary, at the border. Helicopters would deliver the same message using megaphones, urging them to turn back. Included in this message is the offer to have those wishing to turn back transported to their home country, free of charge.

Next, in a coordinated exercise with Mexico, the United States should begin crowd disbursement activities. This will help to further diminish the size of the crowd eventually confronting our officers at the border. The topic of forcibly repatriating those who remain while still in Mexico should also be discussed with Mexican officials. If amenable, the United States should engage with Mexico in joint exercises accomplishing this end.

Those arriving at the border despite all these civil obstacles are more likely than not eager to engage in nefarious activities. These will be engaged, forcefully if necessary, at the border, and repelled.

Having regained control in the short run, and while building the wall, the United States would then have to evaluate the issues that are allowing for an appetite for emigration in the first place. We already know these include the many economic and governmental challenges plaguing Central American countries. The United States should immediately begin a mutually beneficial, long-term strategy aimed at reforming Central America with the goal of improving living conditions while benefiting the American economy and trade. Unquestionably, if these nations partner up, the results can be lucrative for each; and for their citizens.

As opposed to empty promises of support for the President, this plan will offer short-term control and long-term stability, making it much more worthy of pursuit.

And that, Geraldo, is an actual proposal.

People on the streets of Washington, D.C., told The Daily Caller News Foundation whether or not they’d be fine with letting a caravan of migrants from Central America enter into the United States.

Almost all of people interviewed thought the migrants traveling in the caravan should be welcomed with open arms. A few believed a process of vetting should occur for asylum seekers and that others should go through the process of legal immigration.

“I think they need to be vetted. I’m all for having asylum seekers, but we need to make sure that our security’s not being breached,” a woman told TheDCNF.

Andrew Gillum Plays the Race Card After Getting Caught in a Lie

/in , , , /by

Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum attempted to turn the tables on Republicans Wednesday in response to damning new reports that he lied about obtaining Broadway tickets from an undercover FBI agent.

Gillum, the mayor of Tallahassee, claimed in a short video address to his supporters that he is being targeted by Republicans because he is black.

“The Republicans obviously want to distract, want to suggest. All along throughout this … they’ve wanted the people of this state to believe somehow I haven’t deserved what I’ve gotten, I’m unethical, participated in illegal and illicit activity. I mean, you name it,” Gillum said.

“The goal is obviously to use my candidacy as a way to reinforce, frankly, stereotypes about black men.”

Text messages made public Tuesday showed that in 2016, Gillum and a friend, a lobbyist named Adam Corey, received tickets to the Broadway show “Hamilton” from an FBI agent posing as a real estate developer.

The agent was investigating corruption in the city of Tallahassee, including the awarding sweetheart deals to developers and businessmen.

Gillum and his campaign have claimed that Gillum received the “Hamilton” tickets from his brother, though the text messages show that Corey told him directly they were coming from the undercover FBI agent.

Gillum has also come under fire over a trip he took with the FBI agent and Corey to Costa Rica. Gillum has been accused of failing to pay for his share of the trip.

Gillum dodged questions about the tickets and Costa Rica trip during a debate Sunday against Republican candidate Ron DeSantis, a former U.S. Congressman.

When DeSantis asked Gillum about the Broadway tickets, he wouldn’t answer directly.

“First of all, I am a grown man,” said Gillum. “My wife and I take vacations and we pay for our own vacations. I don’t take free trips from anybody. I’m a hard-working person.”

“I know that may not fit your description of what you think people like me do, but I’ve worked hard for everything that I’ve gotten in my life,” he continued.

The Threat Posed by the Impending Invasion: All Americans need to wake up and pay attention.

/in , , , , , , /by

As I have been watching with growing concern the rapidly increasing numbers of aspiring illegal aliens in Latin America who are heading north towards the United States, I came to draw the comparison that the aerial videos of these huge numbers of people, at least from high overhead, appear somewhat like the images of the runners participating in the New York City Marathon.

That analogy caused me to think back to March 20, 2013, during the Obama administration, when I testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the topic, “Building An Immigration System Worthy Of American Values.”

The last two paragraphs of my prepared testimony for that hearing more than five years ago now seem all the more appropriate if not, in fact, prophetic:

Law enforcement is at its best when it creates a climate of deterrence to convince those who might be contemplating violating the law that such an effort is likely to be discovered and that if discovered, adverse consequences will result for the law violators. Current policies and statements by the administration, in my view, encourages aspiring illegal aliens around the world to head for the United States. In effect the starter’s pistol has been fired and for these folks, the finish line to this race is the border of the United States.

Back when I was an INS special agent I recall that Doris Meissner who was, at the time, the commissioner of the INS, said that the agency needed to be “customer oriented.” Unfortunately, while I agree about the need to be customer oriented what Ms Meissner and too many politicians today seem to have forgotten is that the “customers” of the INS and of our government in general, are the citizens of the United States of America.

These foreigners are massing in Latin America, heading for the United States in what is certainly a coordinated strategy to overwhelm America’s capacity to secure its borders and effectively enforce and administer its immigration laws.

That system has always lacked adequate resources or the commitment to imbue the immigration system with meaningful integrity because it is a simple matter to simply prove the great majority of applications for immigration benefits which was how previous administration generally dealt with those applications for immigration benefits and the “keys to the kingdom” that they represent.  After all, with the customer-oriented mentality of previous administrations, Democrat and Republican alike, the alien “customer” was almost always right.

Indeed, the starter’s pistol has been fired.  The only questions that demand answers are, who pulled the trigger and with what ultimate goal?

There are a number of suspects and it is entirely possible that there has been collusion by several groups that may not immediately appear to relate to one another but have come together for common purposes.

While many speculate about George Soros we must not ignore the potential that Iran may well be a major player.

In my previous article, “The Impending Alien Invasion,” I addressed the apparent “marriage of convenience” between the terror groups Hezbollah and Hamas and the Drug Trafficking Organizations of Latin America that work cooperatively in an unholy alliance to move large quantities of people and narcotics and other contraband into the United States as a funding mechanism and also to move illegal aliens into the United States for profits and to also bring their operatives into the United States to participate in criminal operations and to also embed Iranian sleeper agents in the United States.

This is worrying enough but there are more issues to consider and reasons why all Americans from coast to coast and border to border need to be extremely concerned.

For far too long the virtually all-encompassing focus on the U.S./Mexican border has served to convince many Americans across the United States that there are only “four border states.”  Sadly all too many of our fellow citizens are so selfish that they believed that since they did not live along the southern border in one of those “border states” that the issue of border security was of no real concern to them.

I have frequently noted that our nation has 50 border states, any state that has an international airport, access to our nation’s 95,000 miles of coastline or lies along the northern as well as the southern border are all border states.

No matter where or how aliens enter the United States, they have access to our entire country.  This is why “Sanctuary Cities” and “Sanctuary States” pose a threat to national security and to each and every person in the United States no matter where they live.

Today, however, the focus is on that extremely porous and highly dangerous U.S./Mexican border.

If these aliens are able to ultimately gain entry into the United States they will not emulate Neil Armstrong or the other Apollo astronauts who grabbed some lunar samples, planted a flag and promptly flew back to Earth.  These aliens are likely to fan out across the United States potentially impacting every state of our nation for decades to come.

They would be undoubtedly drawn to Sanctuary Cities that will welcome them like conquering heroes.  The terrorists among them could use those cities as staging areas as they embed themselves, hiding in plain sight, in preparation for the day they are called into action.

In point of fact there is a huge population in NYC comprised of illegal aliens who entered the United States without inspection along our northern and southern borders.

Nearly a year ago I wrote an article, “New York City: Hub For The Deadly Drug Trade,” wherein I discussed the fact that the only reason that the Mexican drug cartels had decided to make the City of New York their central hub for their drug trafficking operations on the east coast was due, in large measure, to the sanctuary policies of New York City.

Of course the Radical Left and their allies in the Mainstream Media has decried President Trump’s concerns that among these aspiring aliens are criminals and aliens from the Middle East and potentially terrorists.

Of course the fact that the President receives a daily briefing from the intelligence services does not matter to these supposed “journalists” who simply write off the President’s statements as “right-wing fear mongering.”

Just this evening my local CBS radio anchor proclaimed that the Caravan of Central American migrants was bringing desperate immigrants looking for a better life.

Somehow it did not occur to the reporter to ask why these aliens would want to come illegally rather than legally.  The U.S. has the most generous legal immigration system on the planet.

Nor did he question that perhaps they weren’t all from Latin America.

It must be presumed that these supposed “journalists” have blithely ignored the testimony of numerous expert witnesses who have testified before a long string of hearings in the House and Senate.  It must also be presumed that these “journalists” have never read the 9/11 Commission Report and/or the official report, 9/11 and  Terrorist Travel – Staff Report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States.

Both reports made it clear that the 9/11 terror attacks and other terror attacks the Commission studied were only possible because of multiple failures of the immigration system.

In November 2001, shortly after the terror attacks of September 11, 2001 I was called to testify before the Immigration Reform Caucus that was attempting to uncover how our nation could be so devastatingly fall victim to a terror attack carried out by aliens who had, in one way or another, been able to enter the United States and go about their deadly preparations by exploiting failures of the immigration system by violating various immigration laws as well as other laws.

On December 10, 2001 my prepared testimony for that hearing was submitted to the Congressional Record by then Chairman of the Immigration Reform Caucus, Rep. Tom Tancredo. Here is an excerpt from my testimony you must take to heart:

It is often said that you only get one opportunity to make a first impression.  Generally speaking, the first laws that aliens entering the United States encounter are those laws that the INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service) is supposed to enforce.  When the INS fails to effectively,, consistently and fairly enforce those laws, we are sending a very dangerous message to aliens seeking to enter the United States.  In effect we are telling them that not only can they expect to get away with violating our laws, they can anticipate being rewarded for violating our laws.

Many years have passed since that hearing.  More deadly terror attacks have since been carried out, while still other unsuccessful attacks have been attempted to be carried out, all by aliens who, in one way or another exploited multiple failures of the immigration system.

Aliens who successfully game the immigration system create a serious problem.  Not only because those aliens succeed in obtaining immigration benefits they should never be granted, but because each time the immigration system fails, more aliens are encouraged to head for the United States fully expecting to be successful in making a mockery of our borders and our laws thereby committing Immigration Fraud: Lies That Kill.

As the number of aliens who apply for asylum grows the system will ultimately implode and obliterate any vestige of integrity to a system that is a major component of national security.

The Left would call this fear mongering- I call it “Connecting the dots.”

Marijuana users: Have withdrawal symptoms after quitting; Higher risk for stroke

/in , , , , /by

Some heavy cannabis users experience withdrawal after quitting

Twelve percent of frequent marijuana smokers experience cannabis withdrawal symptoms as defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5 (DSM-5), according to researchers at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health and Columbia University Irving Medical Center. The symptoms include emotional, behavioral and physical symptoms.

Study participants were drawn from the 2012-2013 National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions-III (NESARC-III) which conducted face-to-face interviews with 36,309 people in their homes. The analysis involved 1,527 participants who used marijuana three or more times a week during the year prior to the interview.

Withdrawal symptoms were associated with significant mental disability, family history of depression, and several psychiatric disorders. The latter include mood disorders; anxiety disorders such as social phobia, agoraphobia, and panic disorder; personality disorder; and post-traumatic stress disorder.

The most common symptoms people experienced were:

  • Nervousness/anxiety, 76 percent
  • Hostility, 72 percent
  • Sleep difficulty, 68 percent, and
  • Depressed mood, 59 percent

“Most users of the newer modes of administration—vaping and edibles—also smoke cannabis. Therefore, for users in modes other than smoking, the amount of consumption could be underestimated,” said Deborah Hasin, PhD, professor of epidemiology at Columbia’s school of public health. “Given the increase in cannabis potency in recent decades, developing reliable measures to investigate the effect of cannabis concentration and mode of administration will be important in advancing our understanding of cannabis withdrawal syndrome.”

Study shows higher rate of stroke among pot smokers

Marijuana users face a 15 percent increased risk for any kind of stroke and a 29 percent increased risk for ischemic stroke, the most common kind, says lead investigator, Dr. Krupa Patel, of a new study presented Friday at the World Stroke Congress in Montreal. She is a research physician at Avalon University School of Medicine in Willemstad, Curacao.

Dr. Patel cautions that this does not prove marijuana is the cause, but that there is an association that puts marijuana users at a higher risk.

Her study found that in more than 2.3 million American recreational marijuana users who were hospitalized, the risk of stroke rose compared to those who did not use the drug. Over five years, the rate of strokes increased from 1.3 to 1.5 percent among marijuana users across all age groups, from teenagers to adults in their 80s. More than 32,000 marijuana users in the study suffered a stroke including nearly 19,500 who had an ischemic stroke.

Rossen Reports Spot the pot: Schools using marijuana test kit to show results instantly

This Today Show’s Rossen Report features a new test kit that quickly identifies the presence of marijuana. Jeff Rossen travels to Colorado where marijuana is legal and visits a high school there that uses the test. He demonstrates how the test works on marijuana-infused and non-marijuana-infused cookies, gummy candies, vape pens, and backpacks.

The kit includes a swab that is rubbed on one of its testing strips. The swab turns red if any THC, the active ingredient in marijuana primarily responsible for the high, is present in or on the items.

States with legal marijuana see rise in car crashes, studies find

Car crashes are up 6 percent in early states that legalized marijuana for recreational use according to two new studies. The Highway Loss Data Institute study compared collision claims filed to insurers in the legal states of Colorado, Nevada, Washington, and Oregon with claims filed in the nonlegal states of Idaho, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming.

The rates of increase range from 13 percent in Colorado and 10 percent in Washington to 1 percent in Oregon for an overall total among the three states of 6 percent.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reviewed police-reported crashes before and after recreational marijuana was legalized in Colorado, Washington, and Oregon. It found a 5.2 increase in the rate of crashes per million vehicle registrations, compared with neighboring states.

Both studies acknowledge that the presence of THC in body fluids does not necessarily mean a driver is impaired and that more drivers are tested for alcohol than marijuana. Even so, “evidence is growing that legalizing its use increases crashes,” says David Harkey, president of the two institutes that conducted the studies.

America’s Cold Civil War

/in , , , /by

Charles R. Kesler
Editor, Claremont Review of Books

Charles R. KeslerCharles R. Kesler is the Dengler-Dykema Distinguished Professor of Government at Claremont McKenna College and editor of the Claremont Review of Books. He earned his bachelor’s degree in social studies and his A.M. and Ph.D. in government from Harvard University. A senior fellow at the Claremont Institute for the Study of Statesmanship and Political Philosophy and a recipient of the 2018 Bradley Prize, he is the editor of several books, including Keeping the Tablets: Modern American Conservative Thought(with William F. Buckley Jr.), and the author of I Am the Change: Barack Obama and the Future of Liberalism.

The following is adapted from a lecture delivered at Hillsdale College on September 27, 2018, during a two-week teaching residency as a Eugene C. Pulliam Distinguished Visiting Fellow in Journalism.

Six years ago I wrote a book about Barack Obama in which I predicted that modern American liberalism, under pressures both fiscal and philosophical, would either go out of business or be forced to radicalize. If it chose the latter, I predicted, it could radicalize along two lines: towards socialism or towards an increasingly post-modern form of leadership. Today it is doing both. As we saw in Bernie Sanders’ campaign, the youngest generation of liberals is embracing socialism openly—something that would have been unheard of during the Cold War. At the same time, identity politics is on the ascendant, with its quasi-Nietzschean faith in race, sex, and power as the keys to being and meaning. In the #MeToo movement, for example—as we saw recently in Justice Kavanaugh’s confirmation battle—the credo is, “Believe the woman.” In other words, truth will emerge not from an adversarial process weighing evidence and testimony before the bar of reason, but from yielding to the will of the more politically correct. “Her truth” is stronger than any objective or disinterested truth.

In the Claremont Review of Books, we have described our current political scene as a cold civil war. A cold civil war is better than a hot civil war, but it is not a good situation for a country to be in. Underlying our cold civil war is the fact that America is torn increasingly between two rival constitutions, two cultures, two ways of life.

Political scientists sometimes distinguish between normal politics and regime politics. Normal politics takes place within a political and constitutional order and concerns means, not ends. In other words, the ends or principles are agreed upon; debate is simply over means. By contrast, regime politics is about who rules and for what ends or principles. It questions the nature of the political system itself. Who has rights? Who gets to vote? What do we honor or revere together as a people? I fear America may be leaving the world of normal politics and entering the dangerous world of regime politics—a politics in which our political loyalties diverge more and more, as they did in the 1850s, between two contrary visions of the country.

One vision is based on the original Constitution as amended. This is the Constitution grounded in the natural rights of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution written in 1787 and ratified in 1788. It has been transmitted to us with significant Amendments—some improvements and some not—but it is recognizable still as the original Constitution. To simplify matters we may call this “the conservative Constitution”—with the caveat that conservatives have never agreed perfectly on its meaning and that many non-conservatives remain loyal to it.

The other vision is based on what Progressives and liberals, for 100 years now, have called “the living Constitution.” This term implies that the original Constitution is dead—or at least on life support—and that in order to remain relevant to our national life, the original Constitution must be infused with new meaning and new ends and therefore with new duties, rights, and powers. To cite an important example, new administrative agencies must be created to circumvent the structural limitations that the original Constitution imposed on government.

As a doctrine, the living Constitution originated in America’s new departments of political and social science in the late nineteenth century—but it was soon at the very forefront of Progressive politics. One of the doctrine’s prime formulators, Woodrow Wilson, had contemplated as a young scholar a series of constitutional amendments to reform America’s national government into a kind of parliamentary system—a system able to facilitate faster political change. But he quickly realized that his plan to amend the Constitution was going nowhere. Plan B was the living Constitution. While keeping the outward forms of the old Constitution, the idea of a living Constitution would change utterly the spirit in which the Constitution was understood.

The resulting Constitution—let us call it “the liberal Constitution”—is not a constitution of natural rights or individual human rights, but of historical or evolutionary right. Wilson called the spirit of the old Constitution Newtonian, after Isaac Newton, and that of the new Constitution Darwinian, after Charles Darwin. By Darwinian, Wilson meant that instead of being difficult to amend, the liberal Constitution would be easily amenable to experimentation and adjustment. To paraphrase the late Walter Berns, the point of the old Constitution was to keep the times in tune with the Constitution; the purpose of the new is to keep the Constitution in tune with the times.

Until the 1960s, most liberals believed it was inevitable that their living Constitution would replace the conservative Constitution through a kind of slow-motion evolution. But during the sixties, the so-called New Left abandoned evolution for revolution, and partly in reaction to that, defenders of the old Constitution began not merely to fight back, but to call for a return to America’s first principles. By seeking to revolve back to the starting point, conservatives proved to be Newtonians after all—and also, in a way, revolutionaries, since the original meaning of revolution is to return to where you began, as a celestial body revolves in the heavens.

The conservative campaign against the inevitable victory of the living Constitution gained steam as a campaign against the gradual or sudden disappearance of limited government and of republican virtue in our political life. And when it became clear, by the late 1970s and 1980s, that the conservatives weren’t going away, the cold civil war was on.

***

Confronted by sharper, deeper, and more compelling accounts of the conservative Constitution, the liberals had to sharpen—that is, radicalize—their own alternative, following the paths paved by the New Left. As a result, the gap between the liberal and conservative Constitutions became a gulf, to the extent that today we are two countries—or we are fast on the road to becoming two countries—each constituted differently.

Consider a few of the contrasts. The prevailing liberal doctrine of rights traces individual rights to membership in various groups—racial, ethnic, gender, class-based, etc.—which are undergoing a continual process of consciousness-raising and empowerment. This was already a prominent feature of Progressivism well over a century ago, though the groups have changed since then. Before Woodrow Wilson became a politician, he wrote a political science textbook, and the book opened by asking which races should be studied. Wilson answered: we’ll study the Aryan race, because the Aryan race is the one that has mastered the world. The countries of Europe and the Anglophone countries are the conquerors and colonizers of the other continents. They are the countries with the most advanced armaments, arts, and sciences.

Wilson was perhaps not a racist in the full sense of the term, because he expected the less advanced races over time to catch up with the Aryan race. But his emphasis was on group identity—an emphasis that liberals today retain, the only difference being that the winning and losing sides have been scrambled. Today the white race and European civilization are the enemy—“dead white males” is a favored pejorative on American campuses—and the races and groups that were oppressed in the past are the ones that today need compensation, privileges, and power.

Conservatives, by contrast, regard the individual as the quintessential endangered minority. They trace individual rights to human nature, which lacks a race. Human nature also lacks ethnicity, gender, and class. Conservatives trace the idea of rights to the essence of an individual as a human being. We have rights because we’re human beings with souls, with reason, distinct from other animals and from God. We’re not beasts, but we’re not God—we’re the in-between being. Conservatives seek to vindicate human equality and liberty—the basis for majority rule in politics—against the liberal Constitution’s alternative, in which everything is increasingly based on group identity.

There is also today a vast divergence between the liberal and conservative understandings of the First Amendment. Liberals are interested in transforming free speech into what they call equal speech, ensuring that no one gets more than his fair share. They favor a redistribution of speech rights via limits on campaign contributions, repealing the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision, and narrowing the First Amendment for the sake of redistribution of speech rights from the rich to the poor. Not surprisingly, the Democratic Party’s 2016 platform called for amending the First Amendment!

There is, of course, also a big difference between the liberal Constitution’s freedom from religion and the conservative Constitution’s freedom of religion. And needless to say, the liberal Constitution has no Second Amendment.

In terms of government structure, the liberal Constitution is designed to overcome the separation of powers and most other checks and balances. Liberals consistently support the increased ability to coordinate, concentrate, and enhance government power—as opposed to dividing, restricting, or checking it. This is to the detriment of popular control of government. In recent decades, government power has flowed mainly through the hands of unelected administrators and judges—to the point that elected members of Congress find themselves increasingly dispirited and unable to legislate. As the Financial Times put it recently, “Congress is a sausage factory that has forgotten how to make sausages.”

***

If one thinks about how America’s cold civil war could be resolved, there seem to be only five possibilities. One would be to change the political subject. Ronald Reagan used to say that when the little green men arrive from outer space, all of our political differences will be transcended and humanity will unite for the first time in human history. Similarly, if some jarring event intervenes—a major war or a huge natural calamity—it might reset our politics.

A second possibility, if we can’t change the subject, is that we could change our minds. Persuasion, or some combination of persuasion and moderation, might allow us to end or endure our great political division. Perhaps one party or side will persuade a significant majority of the electorate to embrace its Constitution, and thus win at the polling booth and in the legislature. For generations, Republicans have longed for a realigning election that would turn the GOP into America’s majority party. This remains possible, but seems unlikely. Only two presidents in the twentieth century were able to effect enduring changes in American public opinion and voting patterns—Franklin Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan. FDR inspired a political realignment that lasted for a generation or so and lifted the Democratic Party to majority status. Ronald Reagan inspired a realignment of public policy, but wasn’t able to make the GOP the majority party.

Since 1968, the norm in America has been divided government: the people have more often preferred to split control of the national government between the Democrats and the Republicans rather than entrust it to one party. This had not previously been the pattern in American politics. Prior to 1968, Americans would almost always (the exceptions proved the rule) entrust the Senate, the House of Representatives, and the Presidency to the same party in each election. They would occasionally change the party, but still they would vote for a party to run the government. Not so for the last 50 years. And neither President Obama nor President Trump, so far, has persuaded the American electorate to embrace his party as their national representative, worthy of long-term patriotic allegiance.

Trump, of course, is new to this, and his party in Congress is basically pre-Trumpian. He did not win the 2016 election by a very large margin, and he was not able to bring many new Republicans into the House or the Senate. Nonetheless, he has the opportunity now to put his mark on the party. In trying to do so, his populism—which is not a word he uses—will not be enough. He will have to reach out to the existing Republican Party as he has done, adopt some of its agenda, adopt its electoral supporters, and gradually bring them around to his “America first” conservatism if he is to have any chance of achieving a political realignment. And the odds remain against him at this point.

As for moderating our disagreements and learning to live with them more or less permanently, that too seems unlikely given their fundamental nature and the embittered trajectory of our politics over the last two decades.

So if we won’t change our minds, and if we can’t change the subject, we are left with only three other ways out of the cold civil war. The happiest of the three would be a vastly reinvigorated federalism. One of the original reasons for constitutional federalism was that the states had a variety of interests and views that clashed with one another and could not be pursued in common. If we had a re-flowering of federalism, some of the differences between blue states and red states could be handled discreetly by the states themselves. The most disruptive issues could be denationalized. The problem is, having abandoned so much of traditional federalism, it is hard to see how federalism could be revived at this late juncture.

That leaves two possibilities. One, alas, is secession, which is a danger to any federal system—something about which James Madison wrote at great length in The Federalist Papers. With any federal system, there is the possibility that some states will try to leave it. The Czech Republic and Slovakia have gone their separate ways peacefully, just within the last generation. But America is much better at expansion than contraction. And George Washington’s admonitions to preserve the Union, I think, still miraculously somehow linger in our ears. So secession would be extremely difficult for many reasons, not the least of which is that it could lead, as we Americans know from experience, to the fifth and worst possibility: hot civil war.

Under present circumstances, the American constitutional future seems to be approaching some kind of crisis—a crisis of the two Constitutions. Let us pray that we and our countrymen will find a way to reason together and to compromise, allowing us to avoid the worst of these dire scenarios—that we will find, that is, the better angels of our nature.

Professor lectures about ‘honorary whites’

/in , , , , /by
  • Amherst American Studies professor Pawan H. Dhingra lectured on the belief that there are three racial categories: whites, “honorary whites,” and “collective blacks.”
  • The City University of New York Graduate Center insists that it “promote[s] serious learning and reasoned debate.”

The City University of New York Graduate Center hosted a lecture on Friday analyzing minority individuals that scholars consider to be “honorary whites.”

Titled “The Place of Honorary Whites: Asian Americans and New Conceptions of Race,” the lecture was given by Amherst American Studies professor Pawan H. Dhingra and examined “race beyond the black-white binary.”  More specifically, Dhingra will focus on people he considers to be “honorary whites.”

“Race matters even as, and arguably especially when, some groups appear to threaten whites’ privileged status.”    

Dhingra’s presentation was based on a belief previously articulated by Duke University Sociology Professor Eduardo Bonilla Silva, who said that there exist three racial categories: whites, “honorary whites,” and “collective blacks.”

“Honorary whites” include light-skinned Latinos, Americans of Asian descent, and Middle-Eastern Americans. These individuals are considered “honorary whites” because they “approximate or even surpass whites in terms of many measures,” according to the event description.

During his lecture, Dhingra addressed the “meaning and relevance” of race for this category of individuals, how “honorary whites” perceive “racial structure,” and whether they assimilate or suffer from racial discrimination.

“Such groups blur the boundaries of whiteness and create significant separation from other minorities,” the event description says. “But, it is a mistake to interpret such trends as signaling the declining significance of race or of white supremacy. Race matters even as, and arguably especially when, some groups appear to threaten whites’ privileged status.”

“The Graduate Center sociology Ph.D. program hosts a regular colloquium where speakers with differing perspectives engage with doctoral students and faculty on a wide range of topical research issues,” the center told Campus Reform  in a statement.

“As an institution that specializes in doctoral-level, advanced research and teaching, we promote serious learning and reasoned debate and offer programming that draws upon and contributes to the diverse communities of New York City and beyond,” the statement added.

Fascist Evil Is At Our Door!

The Truth has been said finally. Bill O’Reilly is the man who said it; the second man who is warning America. “Evil coming at us,” he meant Nazis, talking about Evil. They are the same in every way, they just don’t wear brown shirts anymore. Discussing the “protests” against the now-confirmed Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, O’Reilly likened the situation to that of the early days of the Nazi regime. Please remember, Nazis means National Socialism or Fascism.

How History is Repeating Itself

“This Kavanaugh thing was not accidental, and it wasn’t caused by one woman stepping forth. This was an organized thing, that if they couldn’t get him before the confirmation on merit, they’re going to destroy him personally,” O’Reilly said during an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity. It was organized. You have seen it, and I have seen it… We’ve seen boycotts spreading, we’ve seen demonstrations spontaneous, and we’ve seen a woman in an elevator with a CNN cameraman browbeat Sen. Flake. Who is that woman? She’s working for a Soros organization making $175,000 a year.” Bill O’Reilly compares anti-Kavanaugh protesters to Nazis, Patriot News Alerts, October 13, 2018 by Jerry McCormick.

O’Reilly also presented a short historical comparison: “If you look back into 1930 to 1936, this is very similar to what happened in Germany,” O’Reilly stated. “Good people in Germany, good Germans, looked away. They did not confront the evil that was coming at them. And I put forth to you and America, we have a lot of evil coming at us right now and I don’t know how many people are looking away.” All of that is said by O’Reilly in October 2018 and he is absolutely right. Yet, he is a second person to warn you about Fascism. If you want to know who is the first one to warn you during the last decades, I can answer the question. I did. Just go to the internet and click on Soviet Fascism and you’ll get plenty of my columns.

O’Reilly is right to warn you about Nazi Germany—fascism had destroyed Europe in the 20th century. However, it is another history and country that implemented fascism throughout the world: I am talking today about Soviet fascism. I have warned you about Soviet fascism for many years. The more I learned, the more I was convinced that the term Soviet fascism is the right one. You’ll find the definition of Soviet Fascism on p.159 and please, continue reading pp. 183-221, Chapter 10: Face to Face with Soviet Fascism, What is Happening to America? Xlibrism 2012. The story of my learning and the changing of my mind is a simple one. The first time I heard the term Soviet fascism from my friend Vlad in 1979, walking with him along the streets of Leningrad (St. Petersburg), and horrified by the term. I would suggest you to read that scene to grasp the changes that had occurred in my attitude to the ideology of Socialism. Baltic Winds: Testimony of a Soviet Attorney, by Simona Pipko, Xlibris, 2002

For the last thirty years, I have been writing about the ideology of Soviet Socialism and renamed it Soviet Fascism. In my column Socialist Threat is Real and Immediate in America, October 10, 2018, I was talking about the Ideology of Soviet Fascism, implemented in America by the Dems’ Socialist mafia in close collaboration with Putin’s KGB over several decades.  I have been educating you, the American people, because the vast majority of Americans are not familiar with the real Socialism, hence they allowed a criminal, social theory to become a legitimate philosophy in the country.

In my books—Socialism is a myth, a fraud based on a Utopian concept. Just look at Bernie Sanders, who calls himself a Democratic Socialist. The term itself is an oxymoron—a democrat can’t be a socialist, a socialist can’t be democratic. The term reveals an absence of knowledge of real Socialism and its agenda for decades. Socialism is a Police State, a political system of totalitarianism, which means one-party dictatorship ending in the loss of individual liberty and private property that is the opposite of democracy and should be called what it is-Fascism.

Knowledge of Soviet Fascism is a must for all politicians to maintain and defend our national security—for we are at war, in an asymmetrical war of the Axis of Evil against the American Republic. The Axis of Evil is the blending of the countries in different continents under Russian supervision, adhering to the ideology of Soviet Fascism. They are: North Korea, China, Syria, Iran, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Turkey, and Pakistan. The last one is in the process of being converted and accumulated. It is not a coincidence that America discusses “mobs,” “mob rule,” and the growing leftist incivility and violence against Republicans. Welcome to Socialism, I renamed Soviet Fascism. I have already warned you about the Dems’ attempt of Socialist Revolution in America by the Socialist mafia. The constant attacks against the police and Republicans confirm that.

The entire process is very familiar to those who read The Soviet Mafia, by Arkady Vaksberg, St. Martin Press, 1991. The notion of the mafia in America has been associated only with ethnicity in the past, abut that has changed since the infiltration of the Dems by the KGB and their establishment of a political mafia. Using the term KGB, I mean the entire Russian Intel—it is a collective image, the reason for that is those three letters are familiar to the vast majority of Americans. An inextricable connection exists between the KGB and the Soviet Mafia and awareness of that is the key to comprehend the ideology of Soviet fascism in the 21st century. I wouldn’t suggest you to read the book—too many Russian names for you difficult to pronounce and thousands of murders they had committed. Here is my analyses of the book made in 2003:

There are three main concepts in the book. First, the evil empire may be dead, but not the evil that drove it—the Soviet mafia.  Second, the book gives us a new definition of political forces and their leaders previously known as the Communists, the KGB, and the Soviets.  Vaksberg redefines those old terms with a new collective identity: the Soviet mafia, the nucleus of organized crime.  Third, the Soviet mafia is a multinational political force with no limit to any ethnicity, religion, or race.

Vaksberg defines the Soviet government as the Soviet mafia—the thugs with no ethnic identity, belonging to the same criminal clan. You are getting information to grasp close ties of the top Soviet officials with organized crime. This connection explains the title The Soviet Mafia. So, the same model of Soviet mafia has been implemented by the KGB within the countries adhering to the ideology of Soviet Fascism—this is a design or protocol of action in different countries for the entire Axis of Evil under Russian supervision.

The Failure of the Western Intelligence

Only now, knowing the Soviet mafia, we can return to the events in America. All of them are deriving from the sinister activities of the Socialist Mafia. Dear Chris Wallace, it is not preposterous to suggest that the Dems are behind the caravan coming from Central America. They are. You don’t understand it, because you haven’t read my books, columns and don’t know the concept of Soviet Fascism—Demolishment of Western civilization by many different methods devices, and tricks. So, to open your eyes to the reality of our life, let me tell you about a recent European story.

It happened a couple of years ago in Europe: a mass Muslim invasion to the European continent, especially to Scandinavia. Nobody had yet researched the fact of why and how millions of Muslims from Africa and Middle East suddenly and simultaneously left their native lend and moved to Europe. I saw it as an act of war against Europe, yet nobody else saw it that way. Knowing the Soviet Mafia and the ideology of Soviet Fascism, I recognized who and how it was designed, organized, coordinated, and executed.

If you read my books and columns, you know that Vladimir Putin began his rain of power with the consolidation of Islam in the Middle East by Iran and Turkey. As I just mentioned above, Pakistan, which is in the process of joining the Axis of Evil, ten-twelve years ago Turkey was targeted by the Soviet mafia. The geographic location of Turkey makes the country a strategic target for Russian objectives. Many years ago I described the horrendous methods of the Soviet mafia. Please read Chapter 24: The Hidden Truth of Global Destruction, pp133-134, Socialist Lies: From Stalin to the Clintons, Obamas, and Sanders, Xlibris, 2016. Here is the excerpt from the book:

“Knowing the Russian methods, agenda, and a proclivity to mold Soviet style charlatan-leaders around the world to engineer the cadres of a fifth column, I started researching the events happening in Turkey. I found out something that attract my attention. During a three year period 2002-2005, Turkey had suffered ten earthquakes. I went to the official statistics and got the dates: January 22,2002, January 27,2003, May 1,2003, March 1,2004, March 25,2004, July 1, 2004, July 30,2004, August 11,2004, January 25,2005, October 20,2005. For those who doesn’t understand the significance of the tragic events in Turkey and drastic changes in its foreign policy, I’d like to add that I have already discussed in my books the Russian ability to create and orchestrate earthquakes. The information will also identify the perpetrator of the “climate change” mystery.” Please, remember my term “Soviet style charlatan-leaders around the world,” when you watch Obama or Biden —the DNC consists of them…

Informed of the changes in Turkey’s politics, now we can return to our main topic–the European story. In Turkey, the population of Syrian refugees is estimated to be around 3.0 million, with many more who are unregistered. The Muslim invasion of Europe was started in Turkey, where a camp for Syrian refugees near the Syrian border at Suruç, Turkey was located. The Turkish mafia had organized the refugees and the gate of the camp had been opened. The next participant in the invasion was a Communist government of Greece, where they also have a mafia-style government, which means a close cooperation with organized crime. That way the Muslim invasion to Europe had been designed and executed by the Putin’s KGB in ties with the Turkish mafia.

The same organizing was taking place in Africa, by the Soviet mafia, implanted there in the 20th century. And again please read my book The Russian Factor: From Cold War to Global Terrorism, Xlibris, 2006, Chapter 12: A Specter is Hunting Our Earth—the Spector of Soviet Fascism. As you can see, I’ve been writing about Soviet Fascism for several decades. Yet, Chris Wallace and many politicians had not read my books and are not familiar with the ideology of Soviet Fascism, which is the hidden force of global destruction behind the current Caravan in Central America as well. It could be organized by the mafia in Nicaragua or the cartel in a neighboring country—organized crime is always a part of the Socialist mafia. I have bad news for America—the Caravan will grow and won’t be stopped. It is part of the anti-Trump war on the American continent.

It is interesting what kind of connection Socialist-Andrew Gillum has with Central America and his ties to the Dems’ Socialist mafia in America. I’ve been writing about the Dem’s adherence to the ideology of Soviet Fascism for many years—this is the result. Please, read my column Socialist Treat is Real and Immediate in America, where I told the story of the Spanish singer, who went from Russia to Central America to “teach” engineering in 1955. It is also important to know the Soviet document, mentioned there, which is actually declared a war to Western civilization in 1955. Knowledge of Russia is a must to grasp global events in the 21st century…

The recent Jamal Khashoggi’s event is also a failure of our Intelligence. While building new alliances with Saudi Arabia against Iran and the Axis of Evil under Russian umbrella, American Intel was obliged to provide Saudis with the coming threat of the KGB and Socialist mafia. They didn’t. Vladimir Putin is a mortal enemy of the successful capitalist President Trump and no less a mortal enemy of Saudi Arabia that prevented his expansion in the Middle East. The sale of arms by the U.S. to Saudi Arabia is the crux of the matter for Russia. And as is the usual policy of Soviet Fascism, manipulation of events by the Soviet mafia has been launched through Turkey.

I don’t know whether the Crown Prince is involved or not, but the events in Turkey are very suspicious, Turkey definitely wanted to take down the Saudis… Please, remember it was Russia whose expansion went into Yemen in 1973. Now Russia delegated this fight to Iran. I also remember the name of Khashoggi from Iran-Contra scandal in Reagan’s administration. Khashoggi was a link connecting the U.S. to Iran. His ties to the Muslim Brotherhood are suspicious. I don’t know whether he was recruited by the KGB, or just was incompetent to understand the danger of cooperation with Russia. At any rate, the history of Russian expansion within world events is the matter of my calculation of the recent politics. I have already written about 14 Saudi students, who participated in the 9/11 terror. They were not alone, Russia has also played a role. Please read What is Happening to America?  By Simona Pipko, Xlibris, 2012.

Please watch America’s Socialist mafia, they are trying to connect Trump with Khashoggi’s death and escalate the political temperature before the midterm election. Democrat Joaquin Castro accuses Jared Kushner of orchestrating the murder of Khashoggi and CNN has reported that Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner orchestrated the murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi. Don’t you think that we see another manipulation of Dems’ Socialist mafia working in cooperation with The KGB? In connection with this, I have to remind you that Socialist- Andrew Gillum wants to be a Governor of Florida. It is time for me to urge you again, please read my column: Socialist Treat is Real and Immediate in America! History is the Mother of all sciences…

Migration, Emigration, and Immigration

To regulate people’s movement from one country to another, there are many different laws and different terms to identify three groups of people moving from one country to another. “Migrate means to move, like birds in the winter.” Emigrate means to leave one’s country to live in another. The emigrant is the person who is leaving the country and often surrenders his or her citizenship. Immigrate means to come into another country to live there permanently and that depends on the authorities of the desired country to grant a permission or asylum to enter the country. The law is regulated so that only a lawful attempt by immigrants can gain permission for asylum. The current so-called illegal alliance are the migrant’s foreign nationals, who will violate American law by crossing the border without a permission, required by the Law. They are not illegal immigrants.

Do you know the reaction of the border patrol in Russia, if you try to cross the border? There will be an audible warning and if you don’t stop and continue moving, you will be shot. I am a former refugee from Russia, an immigrant who was waiting for the lawful permission of the American government, being a stateless person with a sick son in Italy for over a year. Do you know what it means to be a stateless person? You have no rights. Nobody defends you, nobody cares about you in the foreign country, where you can’t even open your mouth, not knowing the language. I am telling my story for a reason, not understanding why our border-patrol is opening the gate for the people who are violating the American law. Look at this:

The Daily Caller New Foundation Will Racke | Immigration and Foreign Policy Reporter 10/17/2018 | POLITICS “Illegal immigration by parents traveling with children hit an all-time high in September as thousands of families continued to pour across the southwest border, capping a record-setting year for family migration.“ A total of 16,658 people traveling in family units were arrested by the Border Patrol at the southwest border in September, according to unpublished Customs and Border Protection (CBP) figures obtained by The Washington Post. These foreign nationals cost billions to American taxpayers. MORE THAN A HALF MILLION PEOPLE TRIED TO ILLEGALLY CROSS THE SOUTHWEST BORDER IN FY2018!

This is the result of two ‘Manchurian Candidate’ Presidents, who implemented Socialism on the American soil and deprived Americans of the Truth. During the presidency of the two ‘Manchurian Candidate’ Presidents my name was submitted to the FISA Court to identify me as a foreign agent, the information about all my books and columns was then suppressed and blocked. That is the reason you couldn’t know the Truth. During those years the radical army of the Socialist mafia was created by the Dems in collaboration with Putin’s political operatives. Today all of them are fighting the unique social system left to us by our Founding Fathers and betraying the American people, our traditions, and our values…

There are two types of people committing betrayals: those who do not like the system established by our Founding Fathers and are trying to transform it– they are currently collaborating with the KGB to destroy America the Beautiful, and those people who haven’t a clue about the KGB infiltrations, hence becoming their unwitting accomplices. The FBI Director, current security and Intel’s people won’t be able to identify those culprits without reading my books and columns. We are dealing with an Axis of Evil and Americans must know that, because there is not only a coup against President Trump, it is also a coup against the American Republic led by the Dems collaborating with Putin’s KGB.

The Dems’ reason for the hateful resistance to the GOP is not only to revenge a losing election. The main and real reason of resistance is to cover-up the sinister crime of TREASON that they have committed over several decades. This crime of the Dems, committed by the leadership of a radical Socialist mafia should be a major topic in the midterm election on November 6, 2018. Don’t allow Dems’ Socialism to take over the American Republic, fight Soviet Fascism on November 6, 2018, to save the legacy of our Founding Fathers, vote Republican!

Wired Conservative asks a question: Dear Patriot,
On November 6, 2018, the most important mid-term election of our lives is at hand. Do you side with the tactics of Antifa, Black Lives Matter, Nancy Pelosi and George Soros or do you think that Donald Trump was born to drain the swamp?

I would answer this question with the recent confirmation:

The United States has been placed at the top of the World Economic Forum’s global rankings for the first time since 2008, when the financial crisis ripped the bottom out of the domestic economy. According to the WEF analysis, the U.S. comes the closest of any country in the world to the “ideal state” with a total competitiveness score of 85.6. Rounding out the top five countries are Singapore, Germany, Switzerland, and Japan. Yet the left and media are silent on the great achievement. The Truth is hidden. And again the Truth is hidden by the radical army of the Socialist mafia…

Knowledge is Power! Good Luck America!
