American Ranchers & Hunters Feeling the Flood of Illegal Invaders ~ VIDEO

Let me tell you why I am worried. I conduct 40-60 Outdoor seminars per year from retail stores such as Cabela’s on up to the big shows such as the SHOT Show. (Yes, Covid slowed my seminars down).

I think it was a year or maybe two years ago that I was giving a series of seminars at the Dallas Safari Club Convention & Expo. In between seminars, I hit all of the booths, trying to network with the vendors. I met with one outfitter whose ranch was down near the border.

We talked for a while, and in talking, the guide’s wife got to telling me a story. It turns out that one of their cabins had gotten broken into by illegal immigrants. It was strange because the illegals had totally trashed out of the cabin. I was raised in Texas, and we always deer hunted in South Texas. Back then, when illegals, mostly from Mexico, broke into a hunting cabin, they ate a little food and drank all of your Big Reds. But, I had never heard of a cabin being trashed out by them.

Periodically, hunting buddies would open up a deer blind before daylight and find one sleeping in it. Or they’d stop by the camp, and you’d give them a sandwich, and they’d ask for directions to Sonora or wherever they were headed. I’ve seen them carrying Prestone antifreeze bottles for water jugs, which 50 years ago was their canteen of choice.

All of the ranchers had illegals working for them. I remember one big ranch we hunted on. It was a 12,000-acre ranch. It didn’t have one drop of water on it, so the ranch drilled wells on top of the mountains (really just hills) and ran 1 ½-inch pipes down the hills to water troughs.

The rancher hired an illegal named Juan to daily check the water troughs. Deer, turkeys, javelinas, and illegals drank out of them. All would have died if they had gone dry. The rancher warned us that if Juan were coming down one of the pasture roads to get off to the side, he’d likely run into our truck. He never stopped or slowed down. When he panicked, he punched the gas! Mid-day, once, Juan taught us how to rope sheep and shear them.

Even though encountering an illegal in the field scared me as a kid, I can’t name one time I ever heard of an illegal harming anyone or anything.

Now, let’s fast forward to today’s border crossers. The above-mentioned guide’s wife said they called in the Border Patrol. Upon examining their cabin, the agent kicked the dirt and said, “Dang, we thought that we’d caught all of them.”

She said what? Of course, you haven’t caught all of the illegals. The agent said no, I’m just talking about the Iranians.

He said groups of 10-15 young 25–35 year-old Iranians were sneaking across the borders. Do you, in your most naïve state of mind, not suspect that these are terrorist cells being planted in America? I can promise you that they are. Do you ever hear Biden/Karine Jean-Pierre mention this crisis? Of course not.

If you don’t live on the border, then you don’t have a clue how big of a crisis we have on the border.

Earlier this fall, I was invited to a sponsored hunt on a 10,000-acre ranch off the border.

The rancher called a few days before I was to jump on a plane to fly down for the hunt. He said we could still come, but it was chaotic down there. INS had stopped a train, and 160 illegals had jumped off and flooded his ranch. That is, except for two that were dead, and I think they arrested 67 that were dehydrated or deadly sick.

Illegals were running wild on his ranch. Helicopters and drones were flying all over. For a good documentary on what is going on, watch the video above.

Due to the above Biden-caused fiasco, we jumped to a different ranch 2-hours north of the border. We’d hunt all day, and then me and my buddy were sleeping in a cabin/lodge. I don’t know if we’d forgotten to lock the back door or what, but due to the wood floors, in the middle of the night, I clearly heard someone walking down the hallway. They stopped at my door and jiggled the handle.

Look at what just happened in Israel. The above is our Gaza. This is a huge deal. We know that terrorists are patient, just like a rattlesnake coiled up waiting for a chance to strike. Look at all of the Palestinians that are at this moment protesting in cities across America. Do you think that they came to America to enjoy the American dream or to destroy it? Are they forming cell groups throughout America as we speak? If so, I’m afraid this will make 9/11 look like child’s play.

And before you say some drivel like I’m a refugee hater, etc., I believe that three times while running meat processing plants, I have been the largest employer of “refugees” in two different states. Everyone in America, other than Indians, are refugees or descendants of refugees. But before now, “refugees” came to America to escape persecution or for a better life. Now, some groups are coming to destroy/conquer America.

It is time for America to wake up. The only rational way that I can describe the actions of the current administration is that they hate America and want to destroy her.

How else do you explain them allowing open borders, accepting and releasing unvetted illegals, letting a Chinese spy balloon transverse all the way across America, and all of the other atrocities that they are committing?

In Germany, They’ve Had It With Merkel’s ‘Wir Schaffen Das’~Former Chief Political Correspondent of Bild, Warns Migrants Will Take Over Germany

Remember way back in 2015, when then-Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany was determined to throw open wide the gates of immigration, and to persuade her countrymen to adopt the “Willkommen Kultur” — “welcoming culture” — that allowed nearly one million Muslim economic migrants, many posing as asylum seekers, to be admitted to the country. They have been joined, every year since then, by several hundred thousand more Muslim migrants, eager to take advantage of all the benefits that the generous German welfare state provides. Those benefits include free or highly subsidized housing, free medical care, free education (including language and vocational training), unemployment benefits (even without a work record in Germany), family allowances, and more. All these Muslims have settled in the midst of non-Muslims, Infidels, whom the Qur’an teaches them to regard as “the most vile of created beings.” These Muslims are now costing the state some 36 billion euros a year in benefits. Their presence has caused a staggering increase in crime of all kinds — muggings and robberies on the streets, homes being burgled, and especially, crimes of violence, such as stabbings and rape. In fact, the general judgment on Muslim migrants has been quite different from what Angela Merkel so dreamily foresaw in 2015. To wit: the large-scale presence of Muslims in Germany has led to a situation that is more unpleasant, expensive, and physically dangerous than would be the case without that large-scale presence. The Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party wants a total ban on Muslim migration, and on the basis of that one issue, it has risen precipitously to become the second most popular party in Germany; some think the party will govern the country, as the head of a like-minded coalition, after the next election. More on how German attitudes toward Muslim migrants have changed can be found here: “Majority support for Muslim migration ban as 3 in 4 Germans say newcomers hate Western society,” by Thomas Brooke, Remix News, November 3, 2023:

Nearly two-thirds of all German citizens want the country’s federal government to impose a ban on migration from predominantly Muslim nations, a damning survey has revealed.

Polling conducted by INSA on behalf of the Bild tabloid newspaper showed that 61 percent of respondents now advocate refusing any more migrants from Islamic countries with many explaining they no longer feel safe in their own country and believe an increasing number of new arrivals despise German society.

Most likely, 61 percent is an undercount. Some of those who want an end to Muslim migration likely refused to respond, so concerned are they not to be thought “racist” or “Islamophobic.”

A majority of voters from every political party except for the German Green Party supported a ban on Muslim immigration.

The survey was conducted amid the ongoing pro-Palestine demonstrations witnessed in several German cities following the Hamas terror attack in Israel on Oct. 7 and the retaliatory measures carried out in Gaza by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

Israel is not engaged in mere “retaliatory” measures. That smacks only of “revenge.” Israel is determined to pull up, root, and branch, the Hamas terror group so that it will never again threaten the state and the people of Israel.

A total of 60 percent of respondents admitted the ongoing protests, attended by large numbers of foreign nationals sympathetic to the Hamas cause, concern them, while 77 percent of Germans believe that a growing contingent of the country’s migrant population resents German society and Western values.

The spectacle of Muslims yelling out their anti-Israel and antisemitic chants — including “from the river to the sea/Palestine will be free,” which is a call for the disappearance of the Jewish state and its replacement by a twenty-third Arab one, and “Khaybar Khaybar ya yahud jaish Muhammad soufa ya’oud,” which means “Khaybar Khaybar, oh Jews, the army of Muhammad will return,” which is widely understood by Muslims as a war cry calling for Muslims to kill the Jews — all the Jews..

In a damning indictment of the federal government’s longstanding liberal migration policy adopted by both the current coalition government and the previous administration led by Angela Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU), a total of 72 percent of respondents said they no longer agreed with the former chancellor’s remarks from 2015 when she told the nation, “We can do it!” in relation to taking in an unprecedented number of refugees….

Almost three out of four Germans have declared that they have had it with Merkel’s disastrous enthusiasm for taking in Muslim migrants. No, we can’t do it, they’ve concluded. We can’t take any more of this. And almost two-thirds of Germans now insist that they want a total ban on Muslim immigration.

A state-run ARD-DeutschlandTrend poll from earlier this month showed that 64 percent of Germans wanted the country to take in fewer immigrants, with the same number believing that Germany faces more disadvantages than advantages when it comes to immigration.

Nearly two-thirds of Germans — 64% — now want “fewer immigrants” to enter Germany. The word “immigrant” is widely understood to mean “Muslim immigrant.” Slightly fewer Germans — 61% — want a ban on taking in any immigrants from Muslim countries. 72% now say they no longer agree with Chancellor Merkel’s “we-can-do-it” enthusiasm for immigration, that she expressed in 2015. And 77% of Germans believe that a growing contingent of the country’s migrant population — that “growing contingent” signifies Muslims — resents German society and Western values. Of course, they do. How could they not, given what the Qur’an tells them about the Infidels who are responsible for creating that society, and imposing their non-Islamic and therefore unacceptable values, when it describes them as “the most vile of created beings”?

In June 2024 the next elections for the German Parliament will take place. For two-thirds of Germans, that election can’t come fast enough. And if the AfD triumphs, as many now expect it will, the perceived power of anti-Muslim-migrant sentiment will affect elections far beyond the borders of Germany.

Republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, & research purposes.

Ralf Schuler, the former chief political correspondent of the newspaper Bild, has just warned his countrymen that appeals to migrants — by which everyone in Germany understands is meant “Muslim migrants” — to “respect Western culture” will have no effect. Muslim migrants, he claims, see Germany as a place where, through inexorable demographic change, they will eventually dominate the indigenous Germans who, as Infidels, are “the most vile of created beings.” More on Schuler’s critique of “The Migrant Manifesto” that was published by his own former employer Bild, can be found here: “Migrant majority in Germany is ‘only a matter of time,’ warns Bild’s ex-chief political correspondent,” by Thomas Brooke, Remix News, November 2, 2023:

The “Migrant Manifesto” recently published by German newspaper Bild that warns new arrivals to respect Western culture is a “pack of lies” as, in reality, migrants have long appropriated Germany for their own and will soon be in the majority, Ralf Schuler, the tabloid’s former chief political correspondent, has claimed.

In an interview published by the Hungarian newspaper Magyar HírlapSchuler said the first migratory wave of 2015 changed Germany indefinitely, and yet members of the commentariat and political elite continue to bury their heads in the sand as to the consequences.

The political elites throughout Europe do not dare admit to the damage, possibly fatal, they have inflicted on their own countries by admitting into their midst millions of Muslim economic migrants. Instead, they continue to exhibit various states of denial, insisting that the new generation of Muslims, born in Europe, will be less threatening than the older generation of those who first migrated to Europe. But opinion polls of both generations reveal that the reverse is true. There are those who claim that Muslims will eventually be able to integrate into the larger society, something they give not the slightest sign of doing, or that if a complete halt to Muslim migration is enforced, then “somehow” things will be set right, but no one has dared to discuss how to handle the problem of the tens of millions of Muslims already in Europe, who have no intention of leaving. That is why in April 2021, twenty-five retired French generals, and many serving officers, signed a letter warning that the Muslim influx was likely to lead to a “civil war.

The truth is that the uncontrolled migration wave of 2015 and the subsequent attacks, such as the ax and knife atrocities against women on the trains in Berlin’s Breitscheidplatz, the gang rapes, were seen by anyone who wanted to see them,” he [Ralf Schuler] said.

The former Bild political correspondent said his former employer had adopted an “initial, migration-friendly” attitude towards the influx of new arrivals at the time, but had since shifted towards a “more realistic approach.”

“Nowadays, we can hardly close our eyes to the consequences of daily attacks, violent demonstrations, and illegal migration,” he added.

Germany’s best-selling tabloid newspaper published its 50-point migrant manifesto last week which it claimed was a guide for new arrivals into Germany to adhere to.

The publication urged anyone who considers the German constitution or its legal system to be a collection of non-binding advice to “leave Germany as quickly as possible,” and told new arrivals to learn German, insisting “only if we speak the same language will we understand each other.”

How likely is it that any Muslim migrant, who has no respect for any legal system but Sharia, and is now in the promised land of endless benefits, will heed this naïve and impossible request to “leave Germany as quickly as possible” if he cannot obey the constitution and the legal system? 

It further reminded new arrivals that “non-believers” don’t exist in Germany, and urged migrants not to marry children or stone women for adultery.

Again, how will the secular German state prevent Muslims from engaging in child marriages in secret, whatever the laws may prohibit, when Muhammad himself, the Perfect Man and the Model of Contact, married little Aisha when she was six, and consummated his marriage to her when she reached the age of nine? And maybe stoning women for adultery won’t take place on German soil, but can the authorities be quite sure no Muslim migrants will want to do the Islamically right thing — that is, death by lapidation for adulteresses — and manage to carry it out within their closed community? Why should Muslims want to obey the laws of Infidels, whom they regard as “the most vile of created beings”?

Schuler told Maygar Hírlap that while the document may have been well-intentioned, it is simply not borne out of reality, as Germany’s ever-growing migrant population has been free to install its own culture in the country with little resistance.

“It’s a big dose of lies,” Schuler said to expect that migrants will conform to the rules of German culture. He cited the vast numbers of “militant Muslims who march through Berlin every year on the so-called Al-Quds Day” as an example of Muslim disintegration in the country.

This Al-Quds Day March is an outpouring of anti-Israel and antisemitic feeling, with cries of “From the river to the sea/Palestine shall be free,” which means the disappearance of the one, tiny Jewish state and its replacement by a twenty-third Arab one. Others in these marches more directly call for the deaths of Jews with the genocidal war cry: “Khaybar, Khaybar, ya yahud, jaish Muhammad soufa ya’oud.” This translates as “Khaybar Khaybar oh Jews, the army of Muhammad will return.” Khaybar was an oasis where Jewish farmers lived; they were conquered, the men massacred, and the women taken as sex slaves, by Mohammed and his warriors in 628 A.D. This cry is a violation of Germany’s strict laws prohibiting the expression of genocidal antisemitism, but no one has dared try to arrest those Muslims chanting these slogans.

A point in the Bild manifesto says that people shake hands in Germany. Orthodox Muslims have never done this — especially not with women — and will not do so in the future.

It is simply logical that the more Muslims immigrate, the more Muslim a country becomes,” he added.

The German journalist highlighted the growing percentage of those aged under 16 being foreign-born in the country and warned that “at best, the awakening has only just begun.”

“It’s only a matter of time before the first generation grows up as majority migrants. So an exciting question is who integrates whom?” he asked.

Every year that passes, the percentage of the German population that is Muslim increases by between 1-2%. So eventually there will be more Muslims than non-Muslims being born. And at some point, if nothing drastic is done to halt and then reverse Muslim migration, it is the Muslims who will outnumber the indigenous Germans. Then whose laws and customs will prevail?

Schuler criticized the German Green Party, which he claimed remains opposed to immigration restrictions and is committed to labeling anyone who disagrees with its liberal agenda as racist.

The Green Party, which is part of the government coalition, is still unwilling to face reality. They see the difficulties of illegal immigration as simply a problem of infrastructure and costs but refuse to limit illegal migration itself,” he said.

Costs are certainly a problem associated with Muslim migrants, but only a part of the problem. The federal government in Germany now spends 36 billion euros a year on benefits for Muslim migrants; it’s a huge sum. But that is not the only problem. These migrants, both legal and illegal (Schuler addresses only the illegals), are transforming German society. Their levels of criminality have changed the behavior of German women, who no longer go out at night alone, for fear of sexual assault and rape, and of Jews, who now must avoid wearing identifying garb, including kippahs, in public. Public pools have had to introduce women-only hours so that Muslim women can take part. In German schools, Muslim students have walked out of classes where they are taught about German history, which holds no interest for them, nor does the history of Christianity. And they have prevented classes on the Holocaust from taking place because that subject can only increase sympathy for “the Jews,” and that would never do.

“The left and the Green camp are quick to classify those who raise the issue of the presence of illegal migrants in Germany as right-wing extremists and accuse them of anti-Muslim racism, or even general xenophobia.”…

Islam is not a race. To be horrified by the texts and tenets of Islam, or by the observable behavior of Muslims, including violence against non-Muslims, is not racism. One need not be a “right-wing extremist” to deplore the increasing presence of Muslims in Europe. Think of that most famous of left-wing journalists, Oriana Fallaci, who fulminated against the “sons of Allah” living in Europe.

Germans are finally rejecting the “welcome culture” policy toward Muslim migrants, made famous by Angela Merkel. No more of this “Wir schaffen das” — “We Can Do It” — nonsense. The large-scale presence of Muslims in Germany has led to a situation that increasing numbers of Germans now recognize as more unpleasant, expensive, and physically dangerous than it would be without that large-scale presence. The AfD, which wants to end all Muslim migration, legal and illegal, is now the second-largest party in Germany. The scales have fallen from German eyes; they recognize what they have done to themselves, and now wish to undo. It takes someone like the mediagenic Alice Weider, a co-founder of the AfD, to ride that recognition all the way to a majority in the Bundestag.

Germany: Because of Muslim migrant pressure, Anne Frank daycare center to be renamed

Celebrations of diversity are actually quite monochromatic, but no one seems to have noticed yet.

“After migrant parent pressure, Anne Frank daycare center to be renamed – report,” by Zvika Klein, Jerusalem Post, November 6, 2023:

Parents in Saxony-Anhalt German State promoted the decision to rename the “Anne Frank” daycare center in Tangerhütte, a small town in the state, according to reports in German media.

The move was driven by parents who found it difficult to explain Frank’s significance to their children. According to Apollo News, a German news site, in a small town in Saxony-Anhalt, a daycare center has become the center of a local scandal.

The “Anne Frank” daycare center in Tangerhütte, which has been operating for generations, is set to undergo a name change. The decision to rename the daycare center, named after the most famous Jewish girl, has sparked controversy.

The idea of changing of name of Frank, who tragically died in a concentration camp at the age of 15, has come from migrant parents, according to the daycare center’s director. “It is reported that parents with migrant backgrounds feel uncertain about the name and find it challenging to explain to their children,” the report said.

However, the Miteinander eV organization, promoting an open society, disagreed with this decision. They argued that there are effective and age-appropriate educational concepts for teaching children and young people about Frank’s life and the historical significance it holds. They emphasized that “renaming the daycare center sends the wrong signal, especially in a time marked by increasing antisemitism.” They said they believed that now, more than ever, there is a need for sensitivity to the impact of symbolic renaming….

Nothing to See Here: Illegal Border-Crossers Caught with Explosives

AP Photo/Elaine Thompson
After a recent visit to the Southern border, Republican senators are alerting the nation to a new domestic terror threat, and it involves illegal immigrants caught with bombs.

Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) claims that illegal immigrants have been busted crossing the border with explosives, which according to Barrasso were "tailor-made for terrorism."

FACTO-EL-RAMO During September 2023, 269,735 illegal immigrants crossed into the United States, the most for a single month in the history of the Southern border. 

Sens. John Cornyn (R-Texas), Ted Cruz (R-Texas), and Pete Ricketts (R-Neb.) joined Barrasso on the border trip and to a press conference where Barrasso revealed that roughly eight million illegal immigrants have crossed the border since *President Joe Biden "won" the White House.

"We have just returned from our southern border, and it is painfully clear that with Joe Biden's open border policy, our country is really at an increased threat for a terrorist attack," Barrasso declared at Tuesday's presser, referring to the improvised explosive devices (IED) as roughly the size of cannonballs.

AMMO-RAMA! Civil War-era cannonballs came in many sizes and weights. It wasn't clear what size Barrasso was talking about.

Ricketts spoke at the press conference and stated that 18 people from the terror watch list were snagged at the border in September. No one knows how many snuck in undetected. A total of 172 terror suspects were busted in all of fiscal year 2022.

The aforementioned Republican senators aren't the only people sounding the terror alarm.

FBI Director Christopher Wray testified Tuesday that a number of terror groups have been calling for attacks since Hamas's savagery in Israel on October 7.

"The actions of Hamas and its allies will serve as an inspiration the likes of which we haven't seen since ISIS launched its so-called caliphate several years ago," Wray testified before Congress.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who is responsible for the Southern border and has stated numerous times that the border is secure, testified that more than 600,000 illegal immigrants snuck in during the last fiscal year.

MATH-O-RAMA! If just 1% of those 600,000 "gotaways" are terrorists, there could now be 6,000 terrorists in the country that the Joe Biden administration has allowed to enter.

Cornyn pointed out that no one knows who the "gotaways" are and that they may likely "have a good reason for running away from law enforcement."

As the world teeters on the edge of WWIII and terrorists attempt to sneak into the nation, it's important to realize that none of this is an accident. The Biden administration knows what it is doing. Illegal immigrants are being urged to enter the nation, not deterred. At the same time, Democrats are constantly chiseling away at our 2nd Amendment rights.

None of this is accidental. It's a prelude to a Marxist America, and you may not be on the guest list. Buy ammo.

Chicago Gives Extra $9K In Rental Assistance To Immigrants In Need Of Housing, On Top Of $60M For Staffing

Chicago is providing an additional $9,000 in rental assistance to immigrants in need of housing accommodations, having just paid a medical company an astounding $7.2 million for staffing local shelters for just one week, according to official documents released to the press.

After more than 18,000 illegal immigrants traveled to the state in recent months in order to find their new homes, the Windy City is now trying to house over 11,000 illegals in shelters and 4,000 who are currently sleeping at police stations and the O’Hare International Airport.

Chicago Deputy Chief of Staff Cristina Pacione-Zayas said that the state of Illinois will continue assisting with paying costs for temporary housing for migrants, including the additional $9,000 in rental aid over a six-month period to free up much-needed space.

She claims that the money will help with moving expenses and help immigrants receive government-funded apartment “starter kits,” which would contain furnishing supplies and more.

In order to assist immigrants in finding temporary lodging, the city has also allocated up to $4 million, while the state of Illinois has allotted an additional $38 million.

“That rent lasts for six months, and ideally people would have started their legal process, secured legal work authorization, and be able to sustain that apartment,” said Pacione-Zayas. “I guess the payment toward the landlord is based on market rate, it’s based on the configuration of the apartment. And so it varies from place to place.”

Meanwhile, according to NBC 5, a recent investigation found that Kansas-based “Favorite Healthcare Staffing” charged the city more than $7.2 million to provide additional staff to immigrant shelters for only four weeks.

After hearing about the staff’s high-paying invoices in December, the city seemed to lower hourly rates. However, the lowest staff rates remained at $50 per hour, while the highest was $156 per hour before overtime.

$1.4 million was allotted for the old Wadsworth School, $1.6 million for the Inn of Chicago, and $1.2 million for the Social Club shelter.

Furthermore, more buses from Texas were reported to be arriving carrying more asylum seekers, and the situation is not getting any better, local Chicagoans say.

41 more buses carrying asylum seekers arrived at the U.S.-Mexico border only last week.

This week, a border visit by Mayor Johnson (D-Ill.) and other city council members is already scheduled.

“We need to go assess the situation,” Johnson said. “This is serious. And I’ve been saying it. I mean this ain’t the first time you’ve heard me say how serious this dynamic is.”

Texas has been the primary source of immigrants arriving in Chicago over the past year, mostly at the command of Governor Greg Abbott (R-Texas). The city’s current services were strained as more immigrants from a number of countries entered the U.S.

Officials acknowledged that the city needed greater assistance from the state and federal governments but failed to identify longer-term housing solutions.

Many immigrants come from Venezuela, where millions of people have fallen into poverty as a result of a political social, and economic disaster over the previous ten years. At least 7.3 million people have emigrated, braving a perilous journey to the U.S., Chicago officials said.

However, the influx of immigrants and the temporary shelters set up have angered many Chicago locals.

Following complaints and protests from Chicagoans who said that the facility had originally offered a safe area for the city’s youth, officials abruptly abandoned plans last week to convert a park’s football fieldhouse into an additional immigrant shelter.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker (D-Ill.) has now pleaded with President Joe Biden to steer foreign asylum seekers away from his state. Ironically, just two years earlier, Pritzker had referred to his state as the “Most Welcoming State in the Nation” and maintained that he would advance immigration rights.

Henry Kissinger’s Volte-Face: He Now Warns of Muslim Migrant Danger

SEE: https://www.jihadwatch.org/2023/10/henry-kissingers-volte-face-he-now-warns-of-muslim-migrant-danger;

The scales have fallen from the eyes of Henry Kissinger. He was a signatory in 2015 to a letter that urged Congress to pass legislation allowing more Muslims from Syria and Iraq — claiming to be refugees — to be admitted to the United States. Now he looks at Europe, where millions of Muslims have been allowed to settle, where they batten on the benefits provided by those generous welfare states, and sees how they have spread the virus of antisemitism that they brought with them when they arrived. Kissinger was shaken by the murderous antisemitism that was on display this week in the pro-Hamas demonstrations that Muslims and their willing collaborators took part in in many European cities. More on Kissinger’s new understanding of the Muslim threat can be found here: “Europe Let in Too Many Foreigners, Says Henry Kissinger in Wake of Pro-Hamas Demonstrations Across Continent,” by Oliver JJ Lane, Breitbart, October 13, 2023:

Pro-Hamas demonstrations show European nations, including Germany, made a “grave mistake,” and the continent should be concerned about future hostage-taking raids against its own people if the idea [sic] isn’t defeated quickly, Henry Kissinger warns.

“Europe is subject to internal pressure by groups of people “of totally different culture and religion” because of the “grave mistake” of admitting too many foreigners, Henry Kissinger said of the phenomenon of demonstrations across Europe in support of Hamas terrorists this week.

Kissinger spoke of groups of people now in Europe “of totally different culture and religion.” He didn’t use the word “Muslim,” but it is obvious whom he was speaking about, and now he admits that it was a “grave mistake” to admit so many of them; there are now tens of millions of Muslims spread across Europe. Their violent demonstrations in support of Hamas terrorists have put on full display the moral abyss between Muslims and Europeans, It’s not only antisemitism that Kissinger worries about, but the anti-Infidel worldview that already has made life so difficult for the indigenous non-Muslims in Europe, now forced to share their towns and cities with those — Muslim migrants — who hate and despise them almost as much as they do Jews.

Speaking to Politico in the wake of the Hamas terrorist attack against Israel on Saturday, longtime kingpin of the globalist movement Henry Kissinger walked back his previous position on the importance of keeping Western nations open to refugee flows and said the events of recent days showed nations had gone too far. He told the publication observing celebrations in German cities in support of Hamas is “painful” to watch.

Kissinger said: “It was a grave mistake to let in so many people of totally different culture and religion and concepts, because it creates a pressure group inside each country that does that.”.[i.e., promotes Islam]

Europe should give “unconditional political support for Israeli action” now the terrorist attack has happened, Kissinger continued, and not least because in his view European states have a vested interest in making sure no precedent is set for raids and mass taking of hostages from Western nations is set. He concluded: “Israel must vindicate its sovereignty in that area, and that it cannot permit Gaza to return to a state where it could emerge, take thousands or a large number hostage, kill thousands, and then live in that condition side-by-side with Israel.

I would say every European nation has the same interest because the same attitude might erupt in the direction of Europe.”

Kissinger has finally realized that the war against Israel is not one over borders, but rather, over the very existence of the Jewish state. And he now grasps that the same jihadist impulse can be found, though it has not yet reached Hamas-like violence and depravity, among the Muslim populations in Europe. As Kissinger says, Israel has to “vindicate [make absolutely clear] its sovereignty” and to ensure that Hamas is crushed, so that in Gaza there will be no possibility of returning to the status quo ante bellum. Israel in Gaza is battling the same Jihadist annihilationist threat that the rest of the West will face in the future from its own population of Muslim migrants; Western solidarity with Israel in its war should now be firmly expressed.

While hostage-taking raids on Europe may seem far-fetched, they are not without ample historical precedent and match other warnings about the very high-consequence risk of the tactic coming to Europe’s shores.

Kissinger’s comments on the “grave mistake” and danger presented by mass migration creating alien power structures within Western nations are a considerable shift from his previous positions, which he long acknowledged were influenced by his own experience as a refugee from Nazi Germany going to America in the 1930s….

As a refugee from the Nazis, Kissinger was reflexively favorable to all those wanting to be admitted to the U.S. as refugees or, rather, all those who claimed to be refugees. This was a colossal error on his part, based on his ignorance of Islam and his dreamy belief that all refugees were essentially equal in their ability, and willingness, to assimilate. He did not distinguish between a Muslim coming from Syria or Iraq and a Christian coming from Mexico or the Philippines. It has taken him many decades to grasp the nature of Islam, and the threat posed by Muslims.

Kissinger in 2015 urged Congress to take in more Muslim migrants because, in his tortured logic, that would show that the United States had nothing against Muslims and, so he dreamily believed, this would lessen the appeal of ISIS. But ISIS’s appeal was unaffected by how Infidels treated Muslims. ISIS didn’t care if Infidel states treated Muslims well or ill; its goal was to destroy all of them and to create a world where Islam everywhere dominates, and Muslims rule, everywhere. Kissinger wanted to admit Muslims into the U.S. so as to head off a  “war between Islam and the West.” He failed so singularly to understand that nothing the West can do will win permanent Muslim favor; if the West were to allow the Muslims to destroy Israel, that would merely whet, not sate, Muslim appetites for still more Islamic victories over Infidels. That war, or jihad, has been waged by Muslims against the world’s non-Muslims for the past 1400 years. When the Western world admits Muslims into its midst, that does not change the Muslim imperative to conquer, by demography or by war, the Infidel lands and peoples. Allowing more Muslim migrants into our countries simply swells the size of a dangerous fifth column.

Kissinger, who has always fancied himself a master of geopolitical realpolitik, was innocent about the texts and teachings of Islam, unaware that waging jihad is a permanent duty for all Muslims. Now he seems, at the age of 100, to recognize that he was wrong on the subject of Muslim migrants and that the Western world, too, was wrong, in admitting Muslims who for the most part do not wish to, and are unable to, integrate peacefully into the societies of Infidels who are, Muslims are taught, “the most vile of created beings.”

Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa, on the matter of Muslim migrants, signals Henry Kissinger at long last. He has a lot to answer for, as do all those other cosseted soi-disant “brilliant thinkers” in their chanceries and think tanks and consultancies — the people belonging to the political elites of Europe who ignored Islamic history and theology, and admitted into their midst tens of millions of Muslims who may yet be the agents of the civilized Western world’s destruction.

Two Lebanese Nationals Arrested At Southern Border

The Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have arrested two Lebanese nationals at the southern border in Eagle Pass, Texas.

On Thursday, two men who are reportedly in their early to mid-20s were arrested after authorities reportedly considered them “special interest aliens.” 

“Special interest aliens” are people from nations classified by the United States government as having conditions that promote or protect terrorism or may constitute a national security concern to the United States.

The apprehensions come amid concerns about security and the possibility of terrorism have risen in the aftermath of Hamas terror strikes against Israel. 

Lebanon borders Israel and is home to the militant group Hezbollah, which, like Hamas, is listed as a terrorist organization by the State Department and is reportedly supported by Iran.

Local and federal police enforcement in Washington, D.C., told the press that they are increasing their presence in the nation’s capital as Hamas’ call for a “Day of Rage” on Friday has heightened tensions in American cities. 

The efforts come as significant protests are already building in the Middle East, with enormous crowds showing solidarity for Palestinians in Lebanon, Yemen, and Iraq.

Last month’s threat assessment from the Department of Homeland Security noted that agents have encountered an increase in the number of people on the watch list and warned that “terrorists and criminal actors may exploit the elevated flow and increasingly complex security environment to enter the United States.”

“Individuals with terrorism connections are interested in using established travel routes and permissive environments to facilitate access to the United States,” the assessment also said.

The arrested suspects are currently undergoing extensive background vetting, by local authorities and the FBI.

30,830 Turks, 6,386 Afghans, 1,613 Pakistanis, 659 Iranians, 538 Syrians caught at Southern border since 2021

Once again, what could possibly go wrong? What could be more wonderful than diversity?

“Thousands of ‘special interest aliens’ from Middle East countries stopped at southern border since 2021: data,” by Adam Shaw, Bill Melugin, and Griff Jenkins, Fox News, October 10, 2023:

Thousands of “special interest aliens” from numerous countries, including the Middle East, have been arrested by Border Patrol agents while attempting to cross the U.S. southern border illegally over the last two years, according to internal Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data leaked to Fox News.

“Special interest aliens” are people from countries identified by the U.S. government as having conditions that promote or protect terrorism or potentially pose some sort of national security threat to the U.S.

That data, confirmed by multiple CBP sources and reflects apprehensions between ports of entry between October 2021 and October 2023, shows that agents encountered 6,386 nationals from Afghanistan in that period as well as 3,153 from Egypt, 659 from Iran and 538 from Syria.

Agents also encountered 13,624 from Uzbekistan, 30,830 from Turkey, 1,613 from Pakistan, 164 from Lebanon, 185 from Jordan, 139 from Yemen, 123 from Iraq, and 15,594 from Mauritania. The data does not include information on how many of those migrants were removed or who were released into the U.S. with a court date….

Border Patrol sources tell Fox they have extreme concerns about the people coming across from special interest countries, given they have little to no way to vet them. Unless they have committed a crime in the U.S. or are on a federal watch list, agents have no way of knowing their criminal history because their countries do not share data with the U.S., so there is nothing to match their name against when authorities run their fingerprints….

Here is yet another glimpse of the marvelous future Europe has created for itself.

“ATHENS: Palestinian, Muslim youth burn Israeli flag and brandish knives in the historic center,” Greek City Times, October 10, 2023:

In Syntagma Square, just metres from parliament and some of the most luxurious hotels in Athens, Palestinian, Egyptian and other Muslim youth burned and trampled on the Israeli flag and then attacked people.

They were then photographed brandishing knives at the entrance of Monastiraki metro, the historic heart of Athens – about a 10-minute walk from Syntagma.

See the video:

This latest incident comes only days after Palestinian and other Muslim illegal immigrants chanted “Allahu Akbar” in the refugee centres on the islands of Samos and Kos following Hamas’ attack on Israel on Saturday….
