“A BATTLE THAT MUST BE WON”

(Jan. 1, 2017) — “It is neither wise nor realistic to round up millions of people, many with deep roots in the United States, and send them across the border.” ~ George W. Bush 2006
“According to captured al-Qaida leaders and documents, the plan is called the ‘American Hiroshima’ and involves the multiple detonation of nuclear weapons already smuggled into the U.S. over the Mexican border with the help of the MS-13 street gang and other organized crime groups.” ~ World Net Daily
Recently, I have been going back over articles that I wrote from 10 to 20 years ago while assessing for myself if I have always been crazy and if my recent writings are inconsistent with what I wrote all those years ago.
In this pursuit, I happened upon the below article, written in May of 2004, in which I wrote on how and why our government, determined to fight a so-called war on terror thousands of miles away, could possibly be so haphazard as to leave our borders, especially our Southern border, so unprotected. I believed then, and still do, that protecting one’s borders while at war was a battle that must be won. Without a doubt, the great majority of our politicians, on both sides of the aisle, did not then, and still do not, agree with my assessment.
Recently, Donald Trump utilized similar beliefs in a campaign that produced his victory. But, at this late date, is that tantamount to closing the proverbial barn door after the horse is gone? Also, why was no one seeing this fatal flaw in military strategy back in 2004? Read my almost 13-year-old article below and form your own opinion as to its accuracy.
ON NOT FIGHTING THE WAR WE CAN’T AFFORD TO LOSE
May 31, 2004
Today, our military is present in over 130 countries. We have active wars being fought in Afghanistan and Iraq and military actions against other countries being recommended by the Neocon elements in the Bush administration. Yet, the war we cannot lose draws very little attention from most Americans and is being completely ignored by our politicians and our military. That war is the one not being fought for our Southern border.
In what will eventually prove to be one of the gravest military blunders of all time, we are leaving our Southern border almost completely unguarded as our enemies use our stupidity to destroy us financially, culturally and militarily.
While citizens of this country are subjected to humiliating searches and harassment at airports, supposedly to prevent acts of terrorism, thousands of potential terrorists simply walk across an undefended border.
While our soldiers are thousands of miles from home, attempting to impose democracy by force on a people who do not understand the concept, terrorists who could destroy their homes and their families here in America are simply walking into our country basically unopposed. Ironically, many of the bleeding heart socialist idiots in this country are providing food and water for them in the event they become thirsty and/or hungry as they negotiate the heat that is often so prevalent in our arid Southwest.
Just take the time to look at many of the Socialist representatives in our own government who want unfettered borders and are seeking criminal charges against landowners who have formed groups to protect their personal property from vandalism and theft by these illegal aliens, better known to their supporters as “victims.”
The effects on our economy generated by the millions of illegals in this country are devastating, not to mention our increased vulnerability to acts of terrorism.
Our citizens are being forced by this inane policy to endure a virtual crime wave, perpetrated by illegal aliens who in many cases cannot even be deported, thanks to our wonderful bureaucratic criminals at immigration and naturalization!
In many of our large cities, the local governments have actually created safe zones for these criminals to operate by making it a matter of policy not to report crimes committed by these illegals to federal authorities. In Los Angeles, 95 percent of all outstanding warrants for homicide (which total 1,200 to 1,500) name illegal aliens. Up to two-thirds of all fugitive felony warrants (17,000) are for illegal aliens.
A confidential California Department of Justice study reported in 1995 that 60 percent of the 20,000-strong 18th Street Gang in Southern California are aliens; police officers say the proportion is actually much greater. The bloody gang collaborates with the Mexican Mafia, the dominant force in California prisons, on complex drug-distribution schemes, extortion, and drive-by assassinations, and commits an assault or robbery every day in L.A. County. The gang has grown dramatically over the last two decades by recruiting recently arrived youngsters, most of them illegal, from Central America and Mexico.
Our government continually turns a blind eye to this invasion. Many believe that is because the politicians see all the illegals as future voters. This idea carries some merit considering Dubya’s proposal that all be granted immunity. That would immediately qualify most for at least some form of government give away and certainly get them on the rolls as voters when they go for their driver’s license.
There are those who would say these potential voters would not help the republicans because almost all would vote democratic. Considering the socialistic programs now being championed by the republicans, that argument just does not hold water anymore.
In addition, there is the politically correct element that makes it racist to say anything about anyone regardless of whether what they are doing is illegal or not. Political correctness is being used and supported by the government to destroy our culture as a nation. This has been one of the main strategies of socialism since its beginning. I firmly believe that this obvious open-border policy by those in power is nothing more than a continuation of the push for One-World-Socialist-Government by both parties and the power cabal that controls them.
The government is able to generate sympathy for these illegals by saying “they are just trying to build a better life.” Perhaps this is why we seldom see the plastic heads on TV relate to us the news of a Mexican Diplomat smuggling Arabs into the U.S.
Our government tells us only 19 Arabs perpetrated all the horrors of 9/11. Considering our highly flawed immigration policies allowed most of the 19 to be here without having to negotiate our Southern border, and our law enforcement officials failed to follow up on a myriad of warnings, can we take a chance on believing the Arabs who used this corrupt Mexican diplomat to infiltrate our country are here just to better themselves?
How convenient it is that folks of Middle Eastern ancestry are using our Southern border. How many of us could actually tell an Arab from a Mexican national without hearing them speak?
Without exception, all of the people I speak with who support wholeheartedly Bush’s illegal war with Iraq are dumbfounded when asked, “If this war is to stop terrorism, then why does Bush do nothing to stop the free flow of potential terrorists into this country across our Southern border?”. The total absurdity of the concept does not seem to dampen their support in the least. Why would you allow the government to take your children 6000 miles and put them in harm’s way and do nothing to protect their homes and families here in the US?
Bush’s failure to protect this country’s Southern border by allowing an unfettered flow of potential terrorists into the country is proof positive the war in Iraq has nothing to do with stopping terrorism or “keeping us safe.” Once that façade is stripped away, like all the other lies for war; why does anyone support this fool and his administration?
With our military stretched so thin meddling in other countries and very few of them left at home, what would happen if some foreign military force invaded across our Southern border? Is the mad rush by our government to disarm its citizens a part of the overall plan to make such an incursion relatively easy? (Think “New World Order”)
The very quickest we could have a fighting force back in this country, equipment and all, would be two weeks at best. How much damage could a dedicated force inflict in that time frame? Anyone who believes that Mexico would not allow their country to be used as the staging ground for such an event should take the time to read the speeches Vicente Fox has delivered in other countries. Besides, don’t most Mexicans believe that Texas, California and other states of the Southwest were stolen from them anyway?
The Mexican military has made hundreds of forays into this country (new link) in the past few years. Probing for weaknesses or just an accident?
I have talked personally with several citizens of the Tohono O’odham village of San Pedro, some twenty-five miles west of Tucson, Arizona who were held hostage by Mexican soldiers with Humvees, night vision and automatic weapons for two days. All the Mexican troops would say is that they were “looking for someone.” Since the village is some 50 miles north of the Mexico/US border, I’m sure they were not simply lost.
So, here we have it: Bush is fighting a war, killing our sons and daughters and thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians so he can “stop terrorism”. In the meantime, thousands of potential terrorists are simply walking into this country across a virtually unprotected border. Once they get here, socialists in our government are working overtime to make sure they have food and water and are able to steal anything else they want with impunity. In fact, the government is attempting to make criminals of any who would attempt to stop them.
Those who are not terrorists, per se, become a burden on the overtaxed working citizens of this country or slip into a life of crime where they enjoy immunity from prosecution and expulsion to satisfy the politically correct element in our society.
There are millions here now. The government wants nothing to do with curbing the flow of millions more. Still, untold legions of Americans support our “war on terrorism” thousands of miles away.
A thinking man would have to say as a country, WE ARE TOAST.
IN RIGHTFUL REBEL LIBERTY
