Maybe they're picking up the same vibes:

Gomez told Breitbart Texas that what he has found thus far is not what he expected. With no money or prospect of finding work, he depends on the shelter to provide food and a roof over his head. That may be ending soon, Gomez says.

Gomez explained he and many other Venezuelans come to the United States for economic reasons. As to whether he made a deliberate declaration of asylum or claimed a credible fear when apprehended, Gomez says immigration authorities at the border never asked...

Gomez now finds himself in a difficult predicament, facing a removal hearing in 2025. He is in a legal status until such time and will not be taken into custody by ICE anytime soon. This leaves him with no hope that federal authorities will facilitate or fund his return home anytime soon.

Cannon fodder, or an army beholden to their benefactors, and not loyal to the country nor it's citizens - and can be turned against them at some point.

During the lockdowns, when local police refused to shut down a gym, they brought in other officers from a different town. They didn't have to live in or answer to that community, so they shrugged and followed orders.

Ramaswamy just visited Eagle Pass, Texas to see conditions firsthand.

Some clips: 1, 2, 3, 4

And the northern border is no better: 1, 2

Apt title of this piece: "None dare call it treason: US-funded foreign NGOs are destroying America’s sovereignty."

The illegal alien swarm crossing the US border is mostly single young military-age males. Apprehensions and got-a-ways exceed 7.5 million under Biden, which will evolve into insurgency, terrorism, and gang violence. The invasion route from Colombia to the US border is almost 3,000 miles. Immigration warfare is a massive and complex undertaking, and the transnational invaders (over 160 countries) require food, provisions, and transportation. Logistics and support come from a constellation of foreign non-government organizations (NGOs) funded by huge Federal grants. This article’s scope addresses those NGOs that fund the migration routes to the border.

  • United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC): online maps of safe routes, "providing migrants with a debit card for food, goods, and transportation."

  • International Organization of Migration (IOM): "IOM is conducting operations on the US border at Eagle Pass, Texas. Subverting US sovereignty is its goal."

  • United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF): "Suppose UNICEF was genuinely concerned for these children...their primary mission should be to work with border authorities to stop child human trafficking and discourage families from risking their lives on the perilous journey."

  • International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC): "promoting the hazardous journey by supporting migrants by providing water, food, blankets, hygiene kits, maps, and instructions to cross the border. ICRC provides cash-based support and a travel brochure of tips like illegal freighthopping."

  • Doctors without Borders (DWB): "promoting open borders for migration."

  • United States Agency for International Development (USAID): "USAID’s 2023 opaque budget is $60.4 billion and appropriated $987 million for Central America migration management. USAID also manages the International Humanitarian Assistance (IHA), an umbrella organization coordinating UNHCR, ICRC, and IOM appropriations."

Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and his administration swore to defend the country and the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic. Facts and evidence state otherwise, a total collapse of the rule of law. Treason, sedition, and subversive activities are defined in United States Code section 18 USC Ch. 115.

Bob Bishop has interviewed hundreds of illegal aliens at San Antonio’s Migrant Center. His interviews are loaded onto his YouTube channel.

Funny, I think the title is a complete red herring, utterly missing the point.

The US government is spending billions of dollars to facilitate the northward migration of military-age males from Central and South America. By definition, if it's the US government doing this, it is not 'treason' nor is it any individual or group of individuals responsible. It is government policy.

The MIC is one of the main mafias running USA, they are catastrophically short of new recruits for their war machine, and 80% of US-born kids are presently ineligible to 'serve', even if they wanted to. What oh what is a giant military machine to do? The drones and cyborgs aren't ready yet. They still need warm bodies.

I don't think it's a red herring at all even if it doesn't fit the technical definition of treason. As the author points out, our government officials took an oath to defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic. If they don't even know who the people are flowing into the country, how will they know whether they're enemies? The failure of this vetting process was the foundation of Richard Clarke's excellent Against All Enemies about 9/11.

This article focuses on migration from South and Central America but there are people pouring in from all over the world, including from countries our government tells us regularly are "enemies" like Russia and China as well as from West Asia (aka Middle East) and Africa. How do we know it doesn't include adherents of Hamas or ISIS?

Thanks for these links. I just watched the first one and it was very informative. The IDs and passports and coins like euros, etc. the sheriff found littering the landscape, some of it during this filming. I think the most egregious aspect is the court decisions that immigration is the preserve of the federal government, with limits on what local and state governments can do, yet the latter's law enforcement and hospitals are not being reimbursed by the federal government for the humanitarian aid they must necessarily provide. The group of Indians they came across who had stopped and were waiting to be rescued after repeatedly calling 911, the Customs department signs that instructed migrants to do this. As the sheriff and the videographer pointed out, people in the rest of the country can ignore it because it's a "border problem" but only for now, the impacts on communities across the country are already starting to be felt.

Doug Macgregor has said many times that we need to bring our military home from the US bases strewn across the rest of the world and used on the border. Sounds a little shocking at first but as he pointed out, every WWII commander you can name (Bradley, MacArthur, and so on) served on the border doing just that at some point in their early careers. He suggests the same for our Coast Guard, who are being deployed in various places around the world and should be instead used to protect domestic waters.

In one of the videos the sheriff makes the point that these people, for the most part, are not hanging around the border, they're heading North so yeah, it's going to be felt by even the most rural of Americans before long. And I agree with what Macgregor says about the military.

We're already seeing it in big cities, with a little help from border state governments bussing the migrants north. Interesting but not surprising how quickly attitudes change when it's their backyard being impacted.

How do we know it doesn't include adherents of Hamas or ISIS?

I am 100% certain it does. However, Hamas is a creation of Mossad, and ISIS is a joint creation of Mossad/CIA. And it's the official policy of the US government, by which I mean the 'deep state', to bring in these people this way. It is not the policy of domestic 'enemies', nor 'Democrats', nor 'Joe Biden', nor anything or anyone other than the US deep state, because the deep state sets policy and this is policy.

That's why I find this entire framing counter-productive, because it's being framed as a 'Democrats are traitors' yadda yadda as if this wasn't going on before and won't continue after the current administration. The real question is: why does the US government want all these healthy military-age men coming into the country, so badly that they're shelling out cash assistance, giving them free phones and transportation, and even fucking health care? They never did all this when they just wanted to depress wages and have a pool of labor underclass that would work the lettuce farms. Something changed for them to start giving NGOs billions of dollars to facilitate large numbers coming into the country. And calling it 'treason' is a distraction from understanding the reasons.

The real question is

My point is that it doesn't have to be either/or. The Deep State is multi-pronged with one hand not necessarily knowing what the other hands are doing. That was the problem with the intelligence failures over 9/11 as you'll recall. FBI agents reporting concerns about certain people and their activities that got ignored by their higher-ups; it's unknown whether they knew what was going to happen or just had another agenda and didn't anticipate unintended consequences - because these people are congenitally stupid when it comes to imagining outcomes different from what they intended.

Your point about calling Democrats traitors is well-taken. OTOH, it doesn't say "all Democrats", it points to the current administration because each administration "owns" the policies they promote and the agencies they use to implement them. Don't worry, they'll have plenty of "but Trump!", "but Russia!" defenders.

I currently do not believe any part of the official 9/11 narrative. After seeing the recently 'found' video of the plane hitting the 2nd tower, I do not believe the towers fell because of planes hitting them, which makes the entire narrative of Jihadi hijackers suspect as well. Also narratives of intelligence failures.

I do get that oligarchies have factions, factions that compete for power and may have conflicting agendas. That's why I said the MIC is one of the main mafias running USA.

But certainly not the only one. And who belongs to which faction, or factions for that matter. There's ideology and then there's money and with both come the delusion that you're in control.

It's hard to tell sometimes how much US foreign or domestic policy is the result of stupidity or planning by ideologues. Because ideologues tend to make absolutely boneheaded mistakes like thinking "We're the good guys therefore everything we do is going to work out!"

In the end, you can't tell them apart because stupidity resembles stupidity, to some degree, even if the chain of events leading to said stupidity is different. So trying to analyze said stupidity for clues as to whether people did something stupid for reason 'A' or reason 'B' can leave you with your brains leaking out your ear holes, and losing faith in humanity.

Why do ideologues do stupid shit? Because systems run by ideologues devolve into stupidity, inevitably. Because anyone in such a system who tries to make rational, intelligent decisions gets purged for being ideologically impure, and thus traitorous.

I'm sure Sun Tzu had something to say about this.

LOL, never heard it described this way before but it works.

I don't believe the official narrative, either. I do believe FBI whistleblowers like Colleen Rowley, though.

This reminded me of a particularly farcical episode from 2014. Even a dedicated regime outlet like FP had to take note of it: ‘Cuban Twitter’ and Other Times USAID Pretended To Be an Intelligence Agency

Mercy.

In an eye-opening display of incompetence, the United States covertly launched a social media platform in Cuba in 2010, hoping to create a Twitter-like service that would spark a "Cuban Spring" and potentially help bring about the collapse of the island’s Communist government.

According to an Associated Press investigation, the project ultimately failed to foment political unrest, but it did turn out to be a useful way for Havana to secretly gather intelligence on the political leanings of the 40,000 Cubans who used it. It was a digital Bay of Pigs, but it was funded by USAID, an arm of the government dedicated to doing good work in bad places, not by the CIA.
