How to Save America From Our Illegal Immigrant Occupation
By Athena Thorne, Apr 11, 2022 2:22 PM ET
pjmedia.com

Globalists attack strong countries that have cultures resistant to totalitarianism by deploying mass migrations of unskilled immigrants with high levels of need into them. This has the triple effect of sapping resources, diluting the existing culture, and destabilizing the society. The weakened target nation will eventually become susceptible to collapse and takeover.


Invasion by charity cases is arguably a more effective tactic than traditional military incursion. (How’s that working out for Russia right now?) Child-bearing women and children are especially effective colonists because they sop up the most resources. At the same time, their very humanity and vulnerability make them more impervious to the defenses of decent people than a suit of armor ever could. Who can say no to a needy child? It’s the most cynical, diabolical form of attack conceivable because it victimizes millions of desperate, defenseless people, exposing them to danger and death; even the ones who make it to the target country generally arrive in a state of physical and medical distress, and suffer from PTSD as often as not.

Americans — the ultimate targets of the Globalist oligarchy — are simply too humane to do anything but help such acutely vulnerable people. Globalists know this and use it against us.

But unless we want to become enslaved subjects of the People’s Republic of Earth, and our great nation to be reduced to just another place on the map, we need to make ourselves impervious to this assault. We must free ourselves of the tens of millions of resource-draining globalist colonists already sapping our society.

But how do we humanely dislodge the freeloaders who are already here (including the millions more the soulless Left will inflict upon us before we remove them from office in 2022 and 2024)? To accomplish this, we need to encourage a phenomenon that occurs when illegal residents face inhospitable conditions in the United States: self-deportation.

Below are the steps America needs to take to halt the invasion and to rid herself of the tens of millions of people already here illegally.

BUILD THE WALL AND SECURE THE BORDER

Simply apprehending migrants who cross the border illegally isn’t good enough. Many border-jumpers evade Border Patrol and enter the country directly. Others get picked up intentionally, claim they are seeking asylum (as they have been coached to do by pro-invasion activists), and hop on the gravy train to freebies and transportation around the country. Once a needy human being, especially a child, sets foot on U.S. soil, he or she becomes our problem; let’s keep that from happening. So step one is to build the wall. Make it so that the only way it is physically possible to enter the United States is through a designated port of entry.

PROSECUTE EMPLOYERS WHO HIRE ILLEGAL ALIENS

This is accomplished by enforcing existing law. The U.S. Code establishes that it is illegal for any person or entity “to hire, or to recruit or refer for a fee, for employment” an “unauthorized alien.” America must resolve to prosecute those who break this law. Easier said than done, to be sure — there would be endless legal wrangling as well as social opposition and disobedience. We must accept that this will be an ongoing struggle forever, and remember to keep our eye on one very simple objective: enforce the law and prosecute people who hire illegal aliens, because it’s the right thing to do.

CUT OFF THE BENEFITS The United States has traditionally understood, and federal statute holds, that immigrants may not become a public charge. Naturally, Leftists have always fought this and found ways to work around it, both with federal, state, and local policy and by outright ignoring or sidestepping federal law. As with the previous step, pro-America leadership must resolve to work endlessly toward the goal of removing ineligible aliens from taxpayer-funded benefits to the extent possible. It will require a combination of policy changes at all administrative levels along with the exaction of severe penalties on “sanctuary” states and municipalities that decide to buck federal law.

Related: Dems Know They’re Finished Without Illegal Immigrant Votes

MAKE IT EASY FOR THE UNDOCUMENTED TO SELF-DEPORT

Air-conditioned buses, charter flights, ferries, and car service — whatever it takes to usher uninvited guests back to the border and beyond, all the way back to their homeland or the nation of their choice, will still cost Americans exponentially less than the hundreds of billions of dollars we currently spend on benefits for illegal residents. If a public charge decides to return from whence he or she came, let’s make it happen forthwith.

CREATE AND ENFORCE AN AMERICAN POLICY OF ZERO ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION AND GREATLY REDUCED LEGAL IMMIGRATION

Until we get the current out-of-control situation sorted out, we simply can’t accept large numbers of additional immigrants. Sorry, we’re full up just now. We will need at least a decade of severely limited immigration in order to assimilate the legal newcomers who are staying put and to purge our economy of its reliance on cheap, illegal labor.

BE STRONG AND NEVER STOP FIGHTING FOR AN ORDERLY, SANE IMMIGRATION POLICY

The shrieking and carrying on from Big Left will be deafening. Propaganda will rain down from every outlet, friendships and families will splinter, and armies of violent activists will be on the march. It will be impossible to hear one’s self think over the cacophony, so pro-America leaders and actors must carry the mission and the truth at the front and center of their minds at all times. Also, we must accept that this fight will never end. Treat it like the endless war that it is.

The shouted-down majority — which includes millions of immigrants who came here legally to escape corrupt socialist nations — will be eternally grateful.

$10 to $40 for Each Trafficked Ballot in Arizona

As reported yesterday, the DoJ used cell phone technology to track J6 protesters but wouldn’t use it to track ballot harvesters. The traffickers in Arizona were paid $10 to $40 for one trafficked Arizona ballot. That would take the funding of a George Soros or his like. They certainly had hundreds of millions from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

True the Vote worked through a massive data file (2 petabytes) of cell phone use to identify “ballot mules.” Mules – political activists – gathered massive numbers of mail-in ballots and took them to a central facility. From there, activists dropped them off in various ballot collection boxes in specific states, specific counties, and approximately 71 specific precincts.

True the Vote matched the cell phone data to the CCTV records to pick out and document the ballot harvesting.

The results of the data were shared with various public officers, state, and federal law enforcement in an effort to document the potentially unlawful activity and protect future elections.

The RNC and DNC were and are totally uninterested.




Watch the video. It’s worth it. Start at 49:00 for the information on the $10 to $40 a trafficked ballot info.

The Failure of the mRNA Shots Is on Display for All With Open Eyes

...As for the efficacy of any of these shots against COVID itself, it’s sure hard to find any geographical-based epidemiological analysis that supports such a hypothesis. New Zealand is a perfect case study, because the country had hardly any COVID deaths for the first two years of the pandemic. As an island state, it clearly kept out most of the virus well through 2021, once every vulnerable adult had a chance to be vaccinated. According to the NZ ministry of health, every age bracket has achieved higher than a 90% vaccination rate except for those ages 5-11. Also, more than half of all adults, especially those in vulnerable categories, have boosters.

Thus, New Zealand lived out the COVID bio-state dream. The population fully locked down until three doses were available. Thus, they should be experiencing no COVID, and certainly no COVID deaths, right? Well, in fact, New Zealand experienced nearly all of its deaths precisely after all of this was accomplished in March 2022! And with the mildest of variants!

And roughly 98% of all confirmed cases in New Zealand occurred after February 2022.






Consider the fact that as late in the pandemic as Nov. 4, 2021, New Zealand recorded just 29 COVID deaths. Now the country has 469. Something is not right. Remember, Omicron barely replicates in human lungs and is fundamentally an upper respiratory infection. If there’s any country that achieved the goal of “lock down until everyone is vaccinated,” it’s New Zealand. If the shots are as successful against critical illness from COVID as they say it is, we should not be seeing these numbers.

As the Daily Skeptic observes based on vaccination data, the double-vaxxed seem to be responsible for the greatest proportion of the cases, likely because the negative efficacy occurred earlier than in the boosted, but that trend, as we saw in the U.K. data, is now trending toward the triple-vaxxed. Overall, only 3% of the unvaccinated have been infected, while 10% of the triple-vaxxed and 18% of the double-vaxxed have been infected. But the trend is even more concerning:

The fall from peak cases to the most recent data point is also interesting. Case rates in the unvaccinated, single dosed and the double dosed have all fallen approximately 45% since their respective peaks, however, case rates in the triple vaccinated have only fallen approximately 20% since their peak. This is rather concerning, as it suggests that we might find that the boosted population maintain a viral reservoir for Covid, ensuring that case rates take much longer to fall to trivial levels and hindering attempts to get society back to a post-Covid normal.
Thus, until now, the “fact-checkers” kept suggesting that the reason why most of the cases are among the vaccinated is because the pure-bloods were careless rubes who all already had COVID last year. Putting aside that such a premise lays waste to their mandates on those with previous infection, New Zealand lays waste to this hypothesis because very few people there got COVID, and we see that even now the injection-free people have low case rates so far.

To cap it off, the Daily Skeptic notes that there is a disturbing trend of excess deaths in New Zealand correlating with the take-up of the vaccine, not COVID cases. In many other countries, people want to blame the excess deaths in 2021 on Delta, not the vaccine. However, in New Zealand there is nowhere to escape the obvious fact that there were basically no COVID deaths until 2022. Yet New Zealand experienced excess deaths in the latter half of 2021.

Keep in mind that nearly everyone in New Zealand is jabbed with Pfizer’s mRNA shot, which lends credence to the findings of the Danish study that the mRNAs don’t seem to protect against all-cause mortality and seem to be associated with a higher risk of non-COVID deaths.

Now contrast New Zealand with Nigeria, a country that has over 200 million people and barely experienced any deaths, despite (or perhaps because of) a 4% vaccination rate and no boosters in sight.

Both countries, until recently, fared equally well. However, they started diverging with the mass vaccination and boosting. And no, this is not because the virus has not come to Nigeria yet. A recent WHO study found that true infections were 97% greater in Africa than officially confirmed, which means that 65% of the entire continent has already been infected. The authors estimate that the infection rate reached 76% in West Africa. And that was as of the end of the third quarter of 2021, before Omicron.

Over the course of the pandemic, New Zealand suffered 94 COVID deaths per million compared to 15 in Nigeria. But the bad news for the lockdown capital of the world is that, unlike Nigeria, New Zealand still has a long way to go to achieve herd immunity, and that’s assuming one can still achieve natural immunity following the mRNA shots.

Perforce, prior infection is clearly the active ingredient, not the vaccines, because Nigeria (and other African countries) could not possibly diverge more from the experience of New Zealand. Yes, to a certain extent it’s possible that death rates could be somewhat underestimated, but there is no evidence of excess mortality in these countries or anecdotes of bodies piling up.

Perhaps, more than any other time in history, we see that the Western world, which has run off the cliff of post-enlightenment, is

Crime watch: Tish James Takes Eye off Ball

“New Yorkers are currently suffering through an epidemic of violent crime … and what is state Attorney General Letitia James doing about it?” asks AJ Caschetta at National Review. “Coming to the defense of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in its efforts to stop its own members from talking to reporters about the potentially illegal activities of the group’s leaders.” James calls simple investigative journalism into CAIR’s activities “infiltration,” treating the journalists in question like “a government entity rather than an investigative news organization.” And while “subway-pushers, gun-toting teenagers … and carjacking” plague New York, “James has used her office and political clout to make investigative reporters stop investigating and reporting while sticking up for a group with intimate ties to Hamas.

Conventional wisdom says Vladimir Putin “has foolishly overreached,” but “under cover of the wider conflict,” he’s “taking full control of Ukraine’s vast, extremely valuable energy assets and intends to integrate them into the Russian supply chain on which Europe now depends.” Indeed, “this war is, or will default to, an energy heist.” If Putin keeps the territory he’s grabbed, he’ll “control all of Ukraine’s offshore oil, its critical ports on the Azov Sea, the Kerch Strait, 80% of the Black Sea coastline and all critical energy-processing and shipping infrastructure.”

Economist: Nobel Laureates Owe Us an Apology

Back when Congress was considering President Biden’s Build Back Better bill, recalls Carl Schramm at The Hill, Joseph Stiglitz and 16 other Nobel laureate economists assured us that all the new money being poured into the economy posed no threat of inflation. Their “presumed authority was used to give credence to the president’s continuously twisting storyline on inflation — that it was ‘transitory,’ good for the economy, a ‘high-class problem,’ Putin’s fault for invading Ukraine,” or the greed of oil and food companies. Surely they knew such excuses are “bogus” and inflation is a “tax” that falls most heavily on the poor. Yet “don’t expect a mea culpa” from Stiglitz & Co. any time soon: Economists know they “can be wrong, really wrong, and never pay a price.”
