When I first saw the headline about Joe Biden paying illegal aliens $450,000 per person in reparations, I thought it was a joke. So I contacted a friend who works for DHS in Washington DC to check. I just received independent confirmation this story is entirely legit.
The Justice Department, Health and Human Services and Dept of Homeland Security are in negotiations with representatives from the ACLU and lawyers representing illegal aliens to pay out $1,000,000 per family for the hardship they endured in crossing the border illegally in 2017 and 2018. Approximately 1,000 families will each receive a million dollars giving the total settlement a taxpayer cost of around $1 billion or more.
WASHINGTON—The Biden administration is in talks to offer immigrant families that were separated during the Trump administration around $450,000 a person in compensation, according to people familiar with the matter, as several agencies work to resolve lawsuits filed on behalf of parents and children who say the government subjected them to lasting psychological trauma.
The U.S. Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services are considering payments that could amount to close to $1 million a family, though the final numbers could shift, the people familiar with the matter said. Most of the families that crossed the border illegally from Mexico to seek asylum in the U.S. included one parent and one child, the people said. Many families would likely get smaller payouts, depending on their circumstances, the people said.
The American Civil Liberties Union, which represents families in one of the lawsuits, has identified about 5,500 children separated at the border over the course of the Trump administration, citing figures provided to it by the government. The number of families eligible under the potential settlement is expected to be smaller, the people said, as government officials aren’t sure how many will come forward. Around 940 claims have so far been filed by the families, the people said.
The total potential payout could be $1 billion or more. (read more, paywall)
Not everyone in DHS or DOJ agrees with this massive payout to illegal aliens. However, the pressure from within the system to pay off those who were impacted by separation in the 2018 border security program is likely to end up being successful.
I have no words….

If there is a good reason not to have a revolution in this country, I haven’t heard it.
The reasons to have a revolution are mouinting on a daily/hourly basis.
By the minute, it seems.
The leftists plan to see their revolution after the anarchist collapse, brought on by bankruptcy. The welfare state will somehow continue, after this collapse. If only we had coherent anarchists to talk to.
All the long-standing leftist tropes are encapsulated here.
Equality and redistributing wealth are good, all good.
Borders are bad, all bad. A world without borders.
Non-white people are noble and good. White people are not so good. The natural man trope dates back to, at least, Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Leftists find this incredibly compelling.
America owes some debt to Mexicans for the imperialism of the Mexican-American war. Never mind that America paid the Mexicans $15 million for the territory seized (a lot of money in the 19th century). Never mind that Texans (Texicans) wanted to leave Mexico and join America. Never mind the war crimes committed by Santa Ana at the Alamo.
All cultures are equal. It is racist to suggest that the practices and norms of some cultures are not the equal of American culture. Racism is not racism when non-Americans do it. Clear? Have LeBron James explain it..
I’m thinking that creating a revolt is exactly the Biden administration’s plan. It would be the perfect excuse for declaring martial law.
I believe you have something there.
And they would lose. Badly.
Yeah, it almost feels like they are deliberately provoking us to get enraged- like they want us to do something, so they can use it for their “domestic war on terror” narrative.
Seems to be the game plan. However, as we are pushed into a corner, what other options are available to us? Strongly worded letters? Yeah, I know, how about elections. We could call it Mr. Smith AND Mr. Dominion go to Washington – Rev. B.
…or, a version could be titled “Misters Smith and Wesson and Remington go to Washington.”
Weatherby anyone?
Who’s going to enforce martial law? All I see is dead bodies.
I noticed today that Hornady walked back their vaccine mandate. I can only imagine the kind of industrial sabotage their employees are capable of regarding all those big government contracts. Pick any critical infrastructure. Those of us who’ve worked in it for life know it well.
Every last one of those enforcers has a family. The Communists are currently after our families, our children. That has consequences. God gave them free will and they’ve chosen. The results will be what they are.
I have no fear of them or their martial law. A life for a life.
This is how it will play out.
Convinced as well feds are working toward provoking a Gun fight.
My suspicion is that they are going to crash the economy in a way that eliminates the private sector middle class and entrepreneurs and middle class retirees.
This looney stuff is so provocative but i think they will control and setup a gunfight. I.e. a false flag taking-out a prominent “one of their own”(using foriegn hirelings). Triangulated pro setup. The evidence is planted against some patriotic Patsies. But they are killed during their arrest.
like ’63 ‘n ’68?
Presto they justify martial law and the final roundup attempt/revolution.
That could start with the cyber attack that was war-games last summer just as COVID was.
Breaking News: Hornady DROPS Shot Mandate – YouTube
Had to search for it; hope this is legit.
Exactly what I posted before seeing this.
We’ve already had a revolution.
Now it’s time to take the country back.
Other countries fight to gain freedom. After our Revolutionary War we fought to maintain it. 240 years later we may have to fight to gain our freedom again.
Be patient, the present timeline is forging a certain human spirit. People are anxious, rising up, speaking out, and connecting across a commonality in their politics. The vulgarity of all corruption is being laid bare for all the world to see. Whatever form the inevitable correction takes, it will mark a milestone in human evolution and will be a glorious antithesis to the present…once the tipping point is reached the change will be profound.
mAYBE THE LEFT ARE PUSHING US TO TAKE UP ARMS..SO THEY CAN BRING IN mARTIAL lAW.
Babylon Bee is superseded!? You really cannot make this sh*t up
No kidding. Freaking Clown Show.
$1B is a drop in the bucket when you’re talking about 100’s of Trillions in unfettered money printing. That’s how they think.
1 billion to illegals who have no right to be here is bad, categorically, objectively.
It is all about demoralizing the enemy. We are enemy number 1.
Imo, Donald Trump is their enemy number 1. Everything they are doing is to reverse what he did.
Trump was a speed bump that slowed them down for a second, it is us they hate.
He set their plans back a few years.
Now no time to waste in accelerating their agenda.
Exactly.
“Us” needs leadership.
Nailed it.
An Arab friend once told me we can push American to a point but no more. Go beyond and they bring destruction upon us.
Americans capacity to endure has a limit and it’s our own government is pushing us to a point.
Who is John Galt?
Maybe the families that illegally entered the country shouldn’t have illegally entered the country.
And maybe Mexico should do more to control their border.
Soros is probably making it worthwhile to Mexico for not controling its borders.
Maybe we should stop paying taxes to fund this sh!t. Tell me how, and I’m in.
Exactly right. It is time to start choking the life blood out of this corruptocracy.
Well ask the Amish, they do not pay Fed taxes. Property tax I would like to know if they do. You can work for yourself, cash only. Most Latinos do not have bank accounts,all cash.
Time to go on OFFENSE and solve the ChYna problem at the same time:
STRATEGY for CONTAINING ChYna and SAVING the USA
[Zero government action required]
USA Port Workers and Truckers refuse to unload or move ANY CHINA EXPORTS
… until ChYna Restores Port Ownership & Operations to each HOME NATION. ?
Imagine how quickly this
“BOTTLENECKS all the container ships & containers at our west coast” and
“NEUTERS Chyna’s economy in ways they cannot escape” … ?
USA Port Workers and Rail Workers then refuse to load or move ANY AG & COAL EXPORTS to ChYna
… until our Food Inflation and Energy Inflation have disappeared. ?
… or NOT.
STAY on offense until Beijing Biden closes the Mexican Border and deports the illegal aliens
… with ZERO “reparations”.
I wonder how black people will respond to illegals just over the border getting reparations before they do.
FJB and F reparations for ANYONE.
And the student loan crowd. ?
BLM should definitely riot in DC about this.
And burn it all down.
That would be one riot by the true anarchists that I could support. I would join them because the feds will not touch them.
Burn down the nearest DNC office.
Just to get warmed up.
Or, the American Indians!
OTOH, name an alternative solution that would work before it’s too late to Save the USA.
Lead poisoning
Its probably going to have to come to that.
One thing we can do is have a do not buy day.
No Walmart, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Target, Best Buy, any Communication store,
That could send a economic message to Corporations.
Corporations are the ones sending jobs to China while keeping design in US, plans for new products are emailed to China for production.
This is Marxism.
The it’s time for the “oppressed” to be rewarded and the oppressor to be punished.
It’s on purpose, to provoke and punish. They want white Americans to pay for “being oppressors” by elevating everyone else at the expense of the oppressor.
It’s just the usual Marxism. Obama sat in Jeremiah Wright’s church for 25 years. Black Liberation Theology. (Marxism)
And Americans willing to work for a living are being fired for not getting a fake vaccine.
They hate Americans.
California effectively does this now.
Free college and free health care for illegals, plus god knows what else.
Most expensive education and medicine in the world, as a reward for permanently Gerry mandering the great state of California
I’m going to sue the U.S. Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services for emotional distress.
Anybody want in on this?
Good luck with Obama’s DC District Judge Amy Berman Jackson
… that close friend and protege of AG Merrick Garland (former Judge on the DC Circuit Appeals Court).
Even the young see ……
Top 5 Hip-Hop songs on i-Tines right now ……. all MOCKING BIDEN !
All Lesko Brandon songs.
( They know their country is being looted )
And, yet he is still in office, his admin running amok.
The GOPe unavaiable for comment……or much of anything else…at all.
And most the young even those who want to be cool by supporting the songs, will still vote for socialists.
Shelia Jackson Lee is not amused
She done got run over by the bidet bus.
She knows they’re waiting closer to the next election.
She knows she’ll be taken care of, with her constituents getting crumbs and loving it.
First thing I thought…wonder how old Al Sharpton will like this!
Especially after his disastrous trip recently to the border!
Gonna be an Epic meltdown.
Get the popcorn ready!!!!
And what did the families of the 13 dead in Afghanistan receive for their loss?
But as others have pointed out, this is demoralization. Paying illegal aliens a good decade’s worth of wages of hardworking Americans in one lump sum is a knife in the back. It’s sickening and enraging. They know what they’re doing. The Bolsheviks are in for one hell of a fight when it all breaks out.
Let the breaking out begin.
I can’t remember the source, maybe a Tucker clip, but I heard the families of fallen servicemen get $100K.
Please correct me if I’m wrong.
When I served in the 80’s, it was $10K. May have gone up.
$100,000 tax free, from what Ive read.
Which is still really a pittance for the loss.
Actually for close to two decades of gross pay.
This is going from crisis to crisis.
250k
Still a miserly sum considering what illegals are to get for their “troubles”
So when exactly is it time for us to fight back and take this evil out of the gene pool permanently??
It should have been in January.
In demented Uncle Joe’s fantasy land, all things are possible, especially vote buying … lots and lots of vote buying.
“Most extensive voter fraud operation in history.” ~ Sleepy Joe Biden 2020
” Night Of The Voting Dead “
C’mon man, every dead vote counts!
And as of this date still in operation, as we shall see in Virginia’s upcoming election.
Yet Democrats told President Trump he had to look through the couch cushions for spare change for the wall.
If you think the caravans are big now, just wait. The word is out.
Guaranteed to become a trillion plus line item per year.
I’ve already booked a hotel room in Ciudad Juarez, burned all of my documents that indicate I am a US citizen and will be swimming across the Rio Grande tomorrow, as a climate refugee.
Anyone want to join me? 🙂 🙂 🙂
You get the bonus of avoiding the clotshot.
I seriously thought about that. My husband was forced into early retirement by the social justice headquarters out of state. His last day was 12/31/20. Well, low and behold they begged him back as a contract worker. I guess their little greenhorn engineer didn’t have the benefit of 25 years of experience in the industry. My husband will not buy in to me refusing to sign the tax documents, so I think I am seriously to the point of bashing my damn hands with my rock bashing hammer because it is time to stop paying freaking taxes! I am outraged beyond belief.
Every day it is something more insane than the day before. Gay porn, or any porn for that matter in school libraries and boys lap dancing in women’s lingerie for the Principal and teachers, boy crowned Homecoming Queen….and now this?????? I’m seriously about to lose it! And I know they want us to, they want a hot war so they can throw us all in solitary like the January 6ers.
You forgot the teacher in Fl who took her middle school class on a field trip to a gay bar, I wonder if they served booze there.
Meanwhile, hundreds of US citizens sit in bidets gulags without the recourse of having due process, and the marxist aclu is nowhere to be seen.
Insanity
We should pay bank robbers for the ” trauma ” of getting arrested ……….
Iceberg ! …. Right Ahead !!!
Dont give ’em any ideas.
SF is going to pay gang members $300/mo to renounce violence and enroll in life coachclasses.
The Left is insanely evil.
I expected no less.
Each time I think that what the regime does could not possibly get more outrageous, I find I’m wrong.
That is Obscene ! A slap in the face to every hard working American family. Like I have said before …they are EVIL people .
What do they care? they have scammed and ripped off billions of tax payer dollars between them all and they just don’t care about US one bit. They slammed in their scam to steal elections and have plenty of other scams to steal elections. When their partners in the CCP released the virus ,that was the icing on the cake! that was their que .
They only way to get them out now is by force
So Tucker Carlson thinks hiding the ugly truths about his paymasters while chronicling the implosion of this great nation into global fascism is “fun”.
You know what? I’m sick and tired of the Tucker bashing. At least he’s doing something for this country! What are you doing besides sitting in your basement hiding behind a keyboard, bitching about someone that’s more of a patriot than you could ever hope to be?
Just skip over the posts you don’t like. Freedom of speech doesn’t require you to agree with it!
An observation on my part. Carlson states the obvious. Why does he not tell the whole truth? He could start with exposing his own network’s participation in the election fraud.
I face off with the globalists, marxists and commnists masquareing as Elephants and Donkeys first hand … in my community , in my schools and other parts of my government. They have come after me and my family for trying to expose them. Carlson is the one who sits protected on his pulpit pulling in millions of dollars a month.
These global fascists are protected by the media – including Fox. I know they are systematically and rapidly destroying our freedom, our families, our lives and our country. If I know, we all know, so Carlson knows – yet he is silent and thinks that is “fun”.
1 million dollars. All they have to do is vote democrat forever.
Super easy…barely an inconvenience….vote harvesters will do the voting for them.
Lifetime is trying to stoke the fire with a movie about the illegals this weekend. I believe it is called ‘Ripped From Her Arms’. Like their Poor Harry & MeAgain trilogy it will most likely fall flat on its face.
Hope it does
Elections have consequences.
Stolen elections have catastrophic consequences.
Elections stolen by people who betray the people for whom they were supposed to represent must not be allowed to stand. This administration is doing everything they can to provoke an uprising of the citizens, and I firmly believe they are just about to achieve their goal. I just don’t think they are prepared for what they are asking for, especially if they kick out the tens of thousands of military personnel like they are threatening. I cannot think of another way to literally piss off conservatives, independents and a whole lot of liberals too. They actually may unite the country – everyone against them.
Stolen elections have cataclysmic consequences.
When the people down in Guatemala hear this, you can figure the next “caravan” will bring in about half of Latin America. As intended.
And from the GOP, crickets. Unless its Rubio. In that case he will be working out the next Gang of 8 deal to make all these invaders permanent.
i’d love to know where that money is REALLY going.
i just don’t believe ANYTHING out of that swamp.
small price to pay to bring the USA to her knees, rip out her heart, shred her soul and take her head off. The GOAL is to destroy the USA. They have told us this repeatedly. When will we take them literally and actually fight like our lives depend on it?
This is Obama’s marxism.
Black theology seeks to liberate non-white people from multiple forms of political, social, economic, and religious subjugation and views Christian theology as a theology of liberation
Black Liberation doctrine holds that any and all actions are justified in destroying the white enemy and America.
The notion of “blackness” is not merely a reference to skin color, but rather is a symbol of oppression that can be applied to all persons of color who have a history of oppression (except whites, of course). So in this sense, as Wright notes, “Jesus was a poor black man” because he lived in oppression at the hands of “rich white people.” The overall emphasis of black liberation theology is the black struggle for liberation from various forms of “white racism” and oppression.
Black Liberation Is Marxist Liberation
One of the pillars of Obama’s home church, Trinity United Church of Christ, is “economic parity.” On the website, Trinity claims that God is not pleased with “America’s economic mal-distribution.” Among all of controversial comments by Jeremiah Wright, the idea of massive wealth redistribution is the most alarming. The code language “economic parity” and references to “mal-distribution” is nothing more than channeling the twisted economic views of Karl Marx. Black liberation theologians have explicitly stated a preference for Marxism as an ethical framework for the black church, because Marxist thought is predicated on a system of oppressor class (whites) versus victim class (blacks).
“…as Wright notes, “Jesus was a poor black man” because he lived in oppression at the hands of “rich white people.”
Wright was incorrect that Christ Jesus was poor. A seamless robe was the topmost quality of clothing.
YLT Jhn 19:23
The soldiers, therefore, when they did crucify Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, also the coat, and the coat was seamless, from the top woven throughout,
“Jesus was a poor black man” because he lived in oppression at the hands of “rich white people.”
Joseph of Arimethea was wealthy.
KJV Mrk 15:43
Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.
What are the contingency fees for this “service.” There are important question concerning conversion, diversion and potential racketeering between the lawyers seeking a financial windfall, lawyers paid by interloping NGOs and their fellow lawyers currently on federal payroll. The individual lawyers operating the “money channel” between federal funds, NGOs, philanthropy and the individual lawyers profiteering from the money channel; who investigates him. The government has legal representation but where is the legal representation for the American Taxpayer in this process that seems to be a recurring methodology that has an effect similar to what some might call a form of post modern money laundering.
What percentage of the $1,000,000.00 per family legal settlement will be diverted into the pockets of lawyers? I do not know but I have heard of contingency fees as high as 50% in other matters.
What lawyer represents the American Taxpayer? The government and the taxpayer are not the same person. As the money is coming out of the monies held in trust on behalf of the latter, would not fair and comprehensive due process also include representation of these presently unrepresented parties?
This method of settlement at the federal level between fellow alumnus and law school cohorts and the revolving door between government and this kind of “philanthropic law” needs very close scrutiny.
One might reasonably wonder. Why should it be legal for lawyers engage in forms of conspiracy and conversion when it would illegal for non-lawyers to do so?
I know Kabuki pays. There is Kabuki but then there is Kabuki based on a honest, good faith performance.
This reminds me of the overt robbery of the recording musicians and songwriters of the 1950s. These families are supposedly getting these big rewards from their equivalent of a “Big Hit Record” windfall from suing The Big Bad Trump may be similar victims; their money gutted by fees and commissions, and then there is the fleecing by the “helpful types” who help them manage their proceeds until its all been bled away.
The so-called One Million windfall will be whittled down by the usual bloodsuckers and parasites. These poor souls from another country, culture and language will be lucky to net $50K with their limited language skills and naïveté.
The same kind of con game happens to the American elderly every day. Befriended, only to have their wealth whittled away by interlopers and parasites, and the occasional lawyer who goes rogue and simply starts using the money held in trust for personal purposes.
Is not one of the biggest problems in modern society the special class consideration lawyers give to themselves and other lawyers? I’m talking about the lawyers who see the American citizen as the problem rather than the purpose of their profession.

Tuckee says that this is the high water mark of lunacy from team bidet? Im afraid we havent seen nuthin yet.
So when is the start of ropes and lamp posts for these evil doers destroying our Republic??
All to get folks talking about something other than a Sheriff in WI.
Mike, think that you hit the nail on the head.
Have to knock it (County Sheriff) out of the news cycle. Sometimes, even we at CTH can sometimes get overwhelmed by the continuous FAKE news cycle.
In Racine County?
……………Joe Biden paying (lawyers representing) illegal aliens $450,000 per person in reparations……………
Does this set a precedent for all the family separations under Biden?
interesting how the “government” has to “negotiate” something entirely illegal with a jewish lobby group. Imagine if the I in AIPAC stood for Italy.
Wrong ” J ” ….. but nice try.
Catholic charities are the big dog here > ‘ Jesuit ‘ , maybe.
Maybe the “I” stands for Meyer Lansky Benjamin Segal?
What benefit is there in being a citizen of the United States? I see none at this time. Maybe we should all renounce our citizenship since it seems worthless at this point in time.
You get to be slave labor for the gubmint and your replacements.
What part about illegal don’t I understand ? I have endured hardship as an American taxpayer, how much is that worth ?
Where are the American voices in the government ? Obiden can just pay these illegals any amount of money without approval ?
Apparently Bidung can do anything he wants, but Trump was the worst dictator ever.
Apparently!?
Absolutely, it seems.
.
To fake-settle frivolous lawsuits that should have been dismissed.
You find one, let us know. “Where are the American voices in the government ?”
Did someone say American Communist Lawyers Union ?
This is going to end worst than Weimar!
The consequences of the stolen 2020 election is endless and nation crippling. FUBAR
Sue the “millionaire” illegals for breaking the laws.

Time to go down to the border with arms. Contact Texas and offer help. Put out the word t0 anyone who wants help if their land is on the border. Post No-Trespassing signs, lock arms in a human line, and shoot when they commit assault attempting to break the line. https://ltcaustin.com/when-are-texans-allowed-to-use-guns-against-trespassers/
Ditto in Arizona….
I can’t take anymore.
At this point, when the shooting war starts, it’s going to be a bloodbath. And you know what? Tough shit! And I don’t care about any three letter agencies that monitor me. I can start with whoever shows up first. Because at this point, why not? It’s the same attitude this regime takes with me. And I know I can’t win. Once again though, I don’t care!
Can anyone name one other country in the world that would throw their borders wide open and allow anyone to come in?
Mexico allows these groups to pass through but they certainly don’t want to be the destination for these people.
They are really daring patriots to refresh the Tree of Liberty.
Tney believe they are untouchable in destroying our Republic.
Change my mind.
So these kids were trafficked across the border often by adults that were not their biological parents possibly to be sold to pesos, and the removal of them from their “relatives” aka traffickers is what traumatized them?
How about the being smuggled into a foreign country away from your home part?
Whoops – peso = pedo.
This is a HARD no.
Think about this. Its OK to lock up so-called “Insurgents” from January 6 from their families to this day, but illegals get compensated $500,000 each (a total of $1 billion) for being separated from their families in our country after committing a crime.
Who are the real insurgents and who are the treasonous lawyers arguing for them instead of their own countrymen? All while the economy tanks, inflation rages and Dems argue about how many trillions to spend to “build back better.”
The hour is nigh, folks.
RAPE, PILLAGE, PLUNDER; AMERICA YOU’VE BEEN HAD!
NOTE: First, my thanks to President Trump for his role in exposing the entire military/industrial/political/deep state complex and the swamp they employ. Last, my thanks to Little Joe, Crying Chuck, Loony Nancy, and so many others in the swamp. Special thanks to each of you for reinforcing my lessons learned throughout your years in politics. Little Joe do you remember the time we listed you, Billy Clinton, and a whole gaggle of politicians as subjects in that international drug trade investigation? Hint, it was during your first term in the Senate. Why don’t you impress the folks by explaining the term, ‘Green Lining?’ Little Joe you also have my congratulations in that you are one of the three subjects who has gone on to be President of the United States of America!
Soldier/Cop/Mercenary, Retired
This article reinforces the confession/lessons learned first presented in 1989 (most presented in 1989, rest added during President Obama’s last two years in office) to the citizens of this old soldier/cop/mercenary’s community while serving as their police chief.
Soldier/Cop/Mercenary, Retired
A Soldier/Cop/Mercenary’s Confession/Lessons Learned
* Soldiers (ground combat soldiers, that is) do not fight first and foremost for their country, the flag, motherhood, girls back home, or apple pie! Before all else, soldiers engaged in ground combat fight for their fellow soldiers and their unit. Why? Because in every war/police action/whatever including WWII the strategies and tactics adopted by mostly incompetent/corrupt military and civilian managers (notice I said managers not leaders) were/are designed to maximize the profits of the military/industrial/political complex with little regard for the those personnel charged with employing the same. In short, the American soldier has been/is nothing more than a “mercenary” since 1969 with the creation of the “All Volunteer Army (VOLAR)”.
* The Seven C’s of Leadership according to a survey of 1646 Vietnam era ground combat veterans listed of the order of their importance (according to the vets) are; Candor, Competence, Consistency, Commitment, Courage, Compassion, and Courtesy. The reason the soldiers in the survey chose the word “candor” is because to them candor encompasses both omission and co-mission. To a combat soldier lack of absolute candor, be it co-mission or omission, are equal sins! In short, soldiers expect/demand absolute candor from their leaders before all else. Note: The democrats have proven they are masters of co-mission, while republicans have proven they are masters of omission!
* The American people are the most effectively lied to people in modern times thanks primarily to politicians, bureaucrats, academicians, and the media.
* Arrogance plus ignorance equals stupidity (A + I = S).
* The greatest threats to the American people are the corrupt and/or incompetent politicians/bureaucrats/academicians found at every level of government/academia, and the majority of the American so-called media.
* The American Profession of Arms and our brothers/sisters in the Blue have failed to protect the American people from all of their enemies, both foreign and ‘most especially’ domestic.
* There are only two primary requirements to be a career soldier and/or cop in America. One must be smart enough to do the work and dumb enough to take the job.
* American soldiers and police officers must in addition to mastering all of their professionally mandated tasks learn to accomplish the same with at least one arm tied behind their backs and their vision impaired 50% or more.
* Far too many of the politicians, bureaucrats, academicians, and media types I have encountered during my years as a soldier/cop/mercenary I most kindly refer to as; self-serving, witless, cowards. Note: I originally referred to the aforementioned folks as; “Self-serving, witless, cowardly, pissants!” After retiring to the deep woods I dropped pissants once becoming acquainted with the little guys; in that I learned pissants are not self-serving nor witless, and certainly not cowards!
* After carefully watching the whole of the political class since May of 1960, I can say without reservation that most of the group will sell their souls and our bodies just to remain in power.
* Want to see what the United States of America will look like if the left takes control of the government? Take your pick: New York City, Baltimore, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, or the complete packages; California, New York, Illinois, etc, etc, etc…..
* If the so-called Progressive movement continues unchecked a number of able veterans are going to be presented with a challenge/decision. Are the American people worth another drop of our sweat and/or our blood?
* The end goal of the elites and their minions is not (nor ever has been) socialism, communism, or capitalism. The elites of the world have used all manner of ideologies, religions, terrorism, brute force, etc. to drive the masses/peasants/serfs/whatever in one direction. That direction leads to one of the oldest forms of human control ever employed in the history of mankind. That form of human control is Feudalism!
Soldier/Cop/Mercenary, Retired
PS All of the lessons learned above (save the last three, which were added during Obama’s last two years in office) and the four mentioned below were written for the prelude of a book titled: “Rape, Pillage, Plunder; America You’ve Been Had!” (After Obama was elected to his second term I added; “And It’s Your Own Damn Fault!”). The book has not been published in that the Department of Defense has denied four requests to publish the same due to classified information they claim is in the book. That so-called classified information primarily deals with the number of politicians and bureaucrats sitting at the federal, state, county, and city levels of government during the Carter years who made the list of subjects in an investigation of the international drug trade and money laundering. Three of those politicians went on to be President of the United States of America. Four of the original lessons learned will remain unpublished in that I do not believe most of the Americans alive today can handle the level of anxiety that might be generated from their exposure. Few Americans can imagine the lengths so many have gone to destroy this nation just since President Eisenhower’s last year in office. I say that because that was the year I joined the army and have stood witness to the destructive policies first imitated by the Kennedy administration with folks like his brother Robert and Robert McNamara (Mac the Knife- soldier’s nickname for the SOB) laying the ground work for administrations that followed! Thus the reason for the two part prayer I said immediately upon learning that President Kennedy had been shot. First I prayed that God would spare him and second that the shooter was not a soldier from my unit nor any other military unit!
Thank you for your post, S/C/G, retired. I have read it before when you’ve posted, and each time I do it brings more thoughtful assessment of what’s been happening.
Your p.s. was especially alarming in reading it today.
Also, thank you for your years of service for this country.
My dad was a WWII vet and I cant imagine what he (and other deceased veterans from all wars/timeframes) would be saying now to what’s happening.
