Biden:s tactical retreat before election: Build the Wall

Biden let in enough future Democrat voters to permanently change U.S. elections.

So many that even wealthy white liberals in deep blue enclaves like NYC are being overrun and angered.

So now Biden is going to pretend he’s tough on immigration.

“They want everyone to be completely isolated and not connected by language, culture, family ties, or a native land where you feel at home,” Müller continued.

from LifeSite.  Thank you, Lew Rockwell. 

“Mass immigration is not about helping people but about destroying national identity,” Müller said. “They say that national identity is nationalism, which has caused all the wars, so they say they are against nationalism, but they are really against the nation.” 

(LifeSiteNews) — Cardinal Gerhard Müller has said that “self-appointed” globalists are using mass migration to destroy the national identity of countries.  

In an exclusive interview with LifeSiteNews, Müller talked about the ideologies behind globalism and their dire consequences. 

“Mass immigration is not about helping people but about destroying national identity,” Müller said. “They say that national identity is nationalism, which has caused all the wars, so they say they are against nationalism, but they are really against the nation.” 

“If nationalism is the reason for wars, we must ask who is financing the wars and what interests are behind it.” 

“They want everyone to be completely isolated and not connected by language, culture, family ties, or a native land where you feel at home,” Müller continued. 

“They want to destroy all that. They want everyone to be atomized, without cultural and religious roots and identity,” he concluded. 

Müller also believes the elites are committing a “genocide” by promoting abortion and euthanasia. 

The German cardinal said many globalists believe that there are “too many” people on Earth who are causing “climate damage.” 

To fight this supposed “overpopulation,” these powerful elites are using abortion and euthanasia as part of an “extermination program,” Müller told LifeSiteNews. 

 “And at the same time, anyone who criticizes this is called a Nazi by those who themselves promote the murderous Nazi ideology of ‘might makes right’… The genocide that is now being carried out is protected through propaganda by equating its critics with the people who committed the genocide in the past,” the cardinal added. 

“The perversion of their logic is to portray the victims as the perpetrators. What is the depopulation program other than a plan of reducing people through violence?” 

Müller explained that the “Nazi” accusation is often used as an “instrument of power” to suppress dissent. 

“They [the globalists] don’t care that suicide rates among young people are growing worldwide. It’s just right for them.” 

This low regard for human life comes from the philosophical position of materialism that the globalists subscribe to, Müller told LifeSiteNews. According to the materialists, “human beings are just matter, just a mass of people that can be manipulated,” he explained. 

Editor’s note: LifeSiteNews journalists Maike Hickson and Andreas Wailzer conducted the interview with Cardinal Gerhard Müller in German and translated his words into English.

IMMIGRANTS FEEL MORE ENTITLED TO YOUR LAND THAN YOU DO, DEAR CITIZEN

Texas and NY have the same immigration policy.

There is no difference.

Texas is deliberately letting illegal migrants in, then sending them to NY, where NY politicians pretend to be alarmed, but welcome the illegals anyway, providing free housing and services.

That's the game. https://t.co/5piJbFKMo0

So the cartels are not responsible for this?  This is Biden's policy.

Though I agree with what Mike Benz pointed out last week, I don't really know the details of it.  Sounds like the Latin American countries are becoming narco-states from which people are migrating, but I can't imagine that all of the migrants we see and hear about crossing the border illegally are Honduran.  Honduras is just north of Nicaragua in Central, or Latin, America.

What is going on in Mexico, Venezuela, Ecuador, and other South and Latin American countries that makes it so necessary for us to crowd out our children and real estate and American culture?  Have we gone fully Mexican?  And if so, why didn't the federal or state governments check in with citizens to ask him what percentage of immigration do you think is fair?  

American taxpayers have been paying around $20 billion annually since Biden took office to support the massive influx of illegal immigrants

Thank you to Martin Armstrong.  

Former President Trump requested $15 billion to build a wall between the US and Mexico. Everyone called him a crazy racist and dismissed his pleas. The truth of the matter is that the wall would have paid for itself in a year. American taxpayers have been paying around $20 billion annually since Biden took office to support the massive influx of illegal immigrants.

The study by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) conducted an analysis and found that each illegal immigrant costs taxpayers $9,232 per year to support. The actual number of people crossing the border is unknown, and the 1.3 to 2 million estimated illegal immigrants this fiscal year alone is understated.

FAIR noted that money spent annually to support illegal aliens would amount to providing every homeless veteran with $50,000 a year, for a decade. The funds could be used to hire an additional 330,000 teachers across the nation to help the shortage. These taxpayer funds should be invested in America.

Useless Vice President Kamala Harris insists the border is “secure,” despite tons of counties declaring an invasion and begging Washington for help. “The border is secure, but we also have a broken immigration system, in particular, over the last four years before we came in, and it needs to be fixed,” Harris said. This is truly laughable as one of Trump’s main qualms was securing the border.

Southern states have begun to send immigrants to “shelter cities” where they claim they will open their arms and wallets to all illegals. They have been terribly equipped to handle the massive influx of buses arriving in their cities, and the Democrats are crying that the Republicans are playing a dirty game. The truth of the matter is that these politicians do not see the true impact of the border crisis. Until buses of undocumented people arrive at their doorstep and they have to figure out how to help them, they are ignorant to the issue. Even Harris failed to visit the border after first being appointed as the border czar. The truth of the matter is that the Biden Administration has zero plans to fix the invasion crisis because they are hoping those who make it over will vote blue to stay in the US.

MIKKEL THORUP ON YOUR INTERNATIONAL PLAN B

Here one of the world's foremost experts describes how to settle on your Plan B.  https://t.co/63B84dF7JU

— Tom Woods (@ThomasEWoods) December 4, 2024

Here is Mikkel's proesentation.

Mikkel's other resources.

Well you're going to need a safe place to stay.  This would be a second home.  And we're going to get into this in a minute.  You need it structured securely so that no one's going to be able to take it away from you.  You want to have it private, so that it protects your privacy, your anonymity.  

We need a free flow of capital.  Maybe you need to be able to put money into a country and take money out of a country.  We don't want put the money in, and you can't get it out.  That's not going to be good.  It needs to be tax optimized.  Now, as we discussed, a lot of the people on today's call are Americans who we're going to get into US tax situation but we need tax compliant from the country that you're going into, and maybe your home country, and any other residency or citizenships that you have.  

Then we need a secure, we need to secure your freedom of movement.  So this is the immigration.  This is the Residency, the passport, the permanent residency.  These types of things and someone that's going to fit your lifestyle, who you are as a person, you are a value of your philosophy, all right, all the things that we need to keep in mind. 

If we're going to develop a plan B for you, why do you need a plan B?  Well there's political instability all over the world, including North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, in the Western World in general it's politically unstable.  Unrest, the social unrest, with all the elections happening in the world.

Major financial collapse on the horizon. 

Strangulation of businesses during COVID.  

You want to be in a place where you can build and create without compliance officers everywhere.

War in Ukraine Iran.

Forced Health mandates like vaccinations. 

Your plan B is political insurance.

12:35.  4 PLUS 1

#1 IMMIGRATION

PERMANENT RESIDENCY is

* A permanent Visa to live work and do business in a foreign country.

* Gives you the majority of the rights of someone who was born in the country.

* A solid foundation for building your life in a new country.

* If you abide by the stipulations of the Visa you can live in the country forever.

* Most countries have a PR Visa.  To keep the Permanent Residency VISA active, he has to visit at least 1 day every 2 years.  As long as he does that then his Visa is valid forever. He has residencies in other countries so he visits those countries regularly.

* Permanent Residency can eventually lead to citizenship or naturalization.  A Temporary Residency will not lead to Naturalization.  A tourist VISA will not lead to naturalization.  So you will not get that covered passport if you are a Temporary Resident.  

WHERE WILL YOUR PERMANENT RESIDENCY BE, OR MULTIPLE PERMANENT RESIDENCES BE?

#2 CITIZENSHIP is the ultimate option, the thing that we're really really pushing for.

*  It's when you can say I am Brazilian or I am El Salvadorian.

*  You have all the rights as someone born in the country.  [A a permanent resident does not have the qualifications to hold an elected office; a citizen does]

*   You actually get the passport.

*   In most cases, your citizenship can be passed on to the next generation of your family.

*  If something happens to the passport, you just apply for another one. 

Biden & his Administration refuse to enforce our immigration laws. They aren't requiring the MILLIONS of people illegally crossing our southern border to show proof of anything - shots, health, criminal records. Nothing.

greatest surge of illegal immigration into the US, 30% of whom have tested positive for COVID, and yet Americans are being denied the right to make a living by vaccination mandates.

Start at the 35:00 to 39:00 to hear how the Biden Administration is allowing the greatest surge of illegal immigration into the US, 20 to 30% of who've tested positive for COVID with no requirement to vaccinate them, and yet Americans are being denied the right to make a living by vaccination mandates. 

VivaFrei:

The looming threat of lockdowns, mask mandates, vaccination mandates, termination of employment if you don't comply, and then you have the Biden Administration allowing people from down south to cross the border, 25% of whom are carriers of a virus, for which the rest of us are forced to comply to measures that interrupt our ability to make a living.  I don't know how there's not actual rage.  They are implementing policies that are exacerbating the crisis which they're using to usher in draconian measures that strip citizens of their rights to even gain a livelihood.

Coming out of Arizona, it's an equal rights protection lawsuit based on the fact that the US government is discriminating against American citizens by imposing harsher restrictions on them than they are on [illegal] border crossers coming in from the south.  

Legally, treason only applies in times when Congress has declared war.  They haven't declared war since WWII.  Is this why?  To allow unfettered treason across the land?

Arizona Rep, Andy Biggs grills Ur M. Jaddou, Director, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.   

I asked questions that you couldn't answer, so that's why I gave a statement.  Do you agree that the same social security number was used on at least 20 different CHNV supporter applications?

So first let me start by saying . . . 

So these are yes or no questions.  So yes or no?

I just want to make clear that that the role that USCIS plays is on the supporters . . . 

And I'm asking you about supporter applications.  

Okay, I'm sorry.  Can you repeat that question then?  I heard it as a parole, the parolee.

No, the same social security number was used on at least 20 different CHNV supporter applications.  That's the question I asked.

Okay, sorry.

You're aware of that?

So yes I am very aware . . . 

It happened at least 3,200 times.  

I don't have the exact number in front of me.

That's according to DHS's report.

Okay, . . . 

I don't have . . .

You don't dispute DHS's report, do you? 

No I absolutely will not . . .

Also, the same phone number was used on at least 20 different supporter applications.  At least 3300 times.  That's according to the report.  Do you agree that that report is,  accurate?

I don't have that report in front of me, but, uh, um . . . 

I'm reading from it.

Yes, but I don't have it in front of me and I would prefer . . .

So you would dispute it?

No, I'm not disputing.  What I am saying 

So, you would deflect and ramble around.  You don't disagree with that number you don't think I'm deliberately cherry picking numbers and just saying oh I'm just throwing the stuff out I'm giving you the numbers from the report do you trust me on that do you at least trust me that far?

Yes, I, I, I . . . 

Okay so then you agree with that number same email address was used on at least 20 different supporter applications nearly 2,000 times do you agree with that?

Sir if if there is a situation where we have concerns of fraud and integrity, we take action at CIS and that exactly what we have done with regard to CHNB.  Where we . . .

Let's clarify here.  So I am laying foundation, and you don't really want to admit that there's this much rampant fraud here.  

You're trying to tell me that when you find fraud, we cure it, and yet nearly 2,000 times you had the same email address used on 20 different supporter applications.  The same exact 184-word text response to a question on the supporter application was used on more than 1,800 such applications by nearly 190 different CHNV  supporters.  

More than 460 non-existent zip codes were used on supporter applications on behalf of more than 2800 CHNV aliens.  So you see, you can dance around and say you don't have the report in front of you and what not, but these are the facts.  This program is rife with fraud.  

As of August 6th, 2024, DHS had approved more than 80,000 CHNV supporters who were in the US on a temporary basis.  Temporary basis.  I'm going to give you some numbers.  

224 CHNV parolees approved as CHNV supporters.  That seems awkward.  

170 additional parolees CHNV approved as CHNV supporters.  

28,322 temporary protected status holders approved as CHNV supporters.  

19,865 SLEs approved as CHNV supporters. 

311 DACA recipients approved as CHNV supporters.

1300 + aliens in the US on temporary visas approved as CHNV  supporters.  

64 refugees approved as CHNV supporters.  

1912 Conditional Permanent residents approved as CHNV  supporters.

That is the program that you are administering.  That's the section that you're administering.  

That's the supporters.  I'm not talking to aliens.  I'm not getting into the violation of law, of the US code 1182, when the use of parole is supposed to be on a case-by-case basis, where Secretary Mayorkas himself has sat here under oath said it's supposed to be on a case-by-case basis.  I'm not getting into that.  

What I'm getting into is a program, the side that USCIS is supposed to actually administer, and that is the supporter applications.  And the fraud was so rapid, you closed down the program.  But you didn't fix it.  It's still ongoing.  We're waiting for the next report to confirm that these things are still going on because it wasn't fixed.  Mr. Chairman, my time's up.  I'll yield back.

Mr. Chairman, can I respond to the question?

There was no question because I asked questions you couldn't answer, so that's why I gave a statement.  There was no question for you, ma'am.

ARMSTRONG: Illegal aliens are flooding the United States to alter the census and the Electoral College to ensure that the Democrats will always win.

Two of my employees, one British and one German, were denied entry to the United States because they might not leave! . . . Unless they vote DEMOCRAT, anyone worthwhile from Europe or Asia need not apply.  -- Martin Armstrong

from Martin Armstrong @ Armstrong Economics. 

QUESTION: Your comment on how you had the mandate from Hong Kong to negotiate with Australia, and the PM would not allow them in because they would vote conservative, has highlighted this entire agenda from the Democrats. They are destroying our country. Will Biden grant them voting rights to suppress those of us who work for a living? 

ANSWER: It is far worse than that. Most states can’t even restrict voting. Illegal aliens are included in the census. That means the Electoral College votes are allocated by the census, and seats in the House of Representatives are also based on the census. If all Americans left California and they are all illegals, they still get the largest vote as illegals. If we look at the 2020 census, Texas has gained two more votes in Congress and the Electoral College for the next decade. Colorado, Florida, Montana, North Carolina, and Oregon each gained one seat, based on the 2020 census. The seven states that lost one vote each were California, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. That is because real Americans are fleeing the Blue States.

Illegal aliens are flooding the United States to alter the census and the Electoral College to ensure that the Democrats will always win. 

This is getting so outrageous, you just can’t make up this shit anymore. A judge in Washington, DC, the land of Marxists, actually threw out a challenge against allowing noncitizens to vote in the election. These Democrats are determined to win, and they do not care about the law or the people. Why can’t Canadians, Europeans, Russians, Chinese, and everyone else vote in the 2024 election if there is NO requirement to be a citizen?

This is outright treason against the American people. They are even starting to replace American workers, reducing the cost of labor. Unions are actually being undermined by this agenda, and they have not really WOKEN UP. That is why blacks and Latinas are leaning toward Trump. They see this as undermining their own advancements.

Any American who now votes for a Democrat is voting against their own future and that of their family.  This is just out of control.  

Here is the Epoch Times article.  

Biden has been shipping illegals around the country to strategic places to overthrow Republican states. This is not simply an invasion; it is an attempted coup to overthrow the United States, including its Constitution. The Biden Administration attacks any state that tries to enforce voter ID to prove you are an American. The audacity of the Attorney General to claim requiring voter ID is not necessary so they can carry out this treason against real Americans. So much damage is being carried out that there will never be any reconciliation. They expect to rule by sheer tyranny.  

Even the NY Times has reported that the majority believe we are doomed. I am NOT being partisan here. This is why the computer is projecting that there WILL BE NO UNITED STATES post-2032. The Democrats are hell-bent on pushing Marxism despite the fact that it has ALWAYS failed, and this entire illegal immigration is their way to take over the country. they do not care about the people – we are the dirt beneath their feet – not the air beneath their wings.  

We will have no choice but to separate blue vs. red states. There is simply no other alternative. Civilization ONLY survives when everyone benefits. The Democrats do not care that their ideas are anti-religious, anti-culture, and anti-democratic. They MUST impose their agenda regardless of the cost. The rich have become anyone with a job.

This is why there is a growing sense of doom. But this is also engulfing Europe. Those who are supposed to represent us only represent themselves and the agenda. They are told how to vote without ever knowing what the real agenda will be, 

The Founding Fathers understood tyranny, but, unfortunately, the FAKE NEWS of Cicero so enchanted them that they wrongly assumed that a Republic was the best form of government when it was the most corrupt, just as we see today. Even that theme has been used in movies like Star Wars, where the republic is fighting against the empire. Throughout history, this will end in the only way it ever has – the “republic” will collapse.

Then we have companies firing Americans so they can hire illegal aliens on the cheap. This is getting completely out of control, and Americans have to wake up. Then again, the computer will be right, and there will be a time when separation is the only solution. Over one-third of the people in Alaska want to separate from the United States. The same is rising in Florida and Texas, with other states joining rapidly.

Representative Anna Luna happens to be in my district.  She has been putting up a good fight, but she is outnumbered. 

JUST FOR THE RECORD

Two of my employees, one British and one German, were denied entry to the United States because they might not leave! It has cost me more than $100,000 so far to fight for my employees who they reject and have families overseas with no intention of staying here while Biden lets criminals come in and countries empty their prisons with tickets to America. I am sorry, but I have ZERO respect for what is happening from first-hand experience. Unless they vote DEMOCRAT, anyone worthwhile from Europe or Asia need not apply.

I am finishing an important book on this subject illustrating the TRUTH from contemporary accounts and even using the coinage to provide the real version of why Caesar was compelled to Cross the Rubicon in the middle of a DEBT CRISIS, and the people cheered. The corrupt Senate fled Rome, and the people did not support them any more than we see today. Those who relied on Cicero and even Cato, who was the leader of the oligarchs, have so distorted history that it threatens our very existence.

Mark Antony’s wife, Fulvia, so despised Cicero and his fake news that he was beheaded and his hands cut off as retribution. As legend has it, Fulvia then wanted to pierce Cicero’s tongue and used her hairpin in her act of revenge against his lies. I suppose that was one way of dealing with the fake news promoters.

Anthony Bourdain on Mexicans, Mexico, & Mexican Food

Anthony Bourdain. 

On Mexicans, Anthony Bourdain wrote this:

Americans love Mexican food. We consume nachos, tacos, burritos, tortas, enchiladas, tamales and anything resembling Mexican in enormous quantities.

We love Mexican beverages, happily knocking back huge amounts of tequila, mezcal, and Mexican beer every year. We love Mexican people—we sure employ a lot of them.

Despite our ridiculously hypocritical attitudes towards immigration, we demand that Mexicans cook a large percentage of the food we eat, grow the ingredients we need to make that food, clean our houses, mow our lawns, wash our dishes, and look after our children.

As any chef will tell you, our entire service economy—the restaurant business as we know it—in most American cities, would collapse overnight without Mexican workers. Some, of course, like to claim that Mexicans are “stealing American jobs.”

But in two decades as a chef and employer, I never had ONE American kid walk in my door and apply for a dishwashing job, a porter’s position—or even a job as a prep cook. Mexicans do much of the work in this country that Americans, probably, simply won’t do.

We love Mexican drugs. Maybe not you personally, but “we”, as a nation, certainly consume titanic amounts of them—and go to extraordinary lengths and expense to acquire them. We love Mexican music, Mexican beaches, Mexican architecture, interior design, Mexican films.

So, why don’t we love Mexico?

We throw up our hands and shrug at what happens and what is happening just across the border. Maybe we are embarrassed. Mexico, after all, has always been there for us, to service our darkest needs and desires.

Whether it’s dress up like fools and get passed-out drunk and sunburned on spring break in Cancun, throw pesos at strippers in Tijuana, or get toasted on Mexican drugs, we are seldom on our best behavior in Mexico. They have seen many of us at our worst. They know our darkest desires.

In the service of our appetites, we spend billions and billions of dollars each year on Mexican drugs—while at the same time spending billions and billions more trying to prevent those drugs from reaching us.

The effect on our society is everywhere to be seen. Whether it’s kids nodding off and overdosing in small town Vermont, gang violence in L.A., burned out neighborhoods in Detroit—it’s there to see.

What we don’t see, however, haven’t really noticed, and don’t seem to much care about, is the 80,000 dead in Mexico, just in the past few years—mostly innocent victims. Eighty thousand families who’ve been touched directly by the so-called “War On Drugs”.

Mexico. Our brother from another mother. A country, with whom, like it or not, we are inexorably, deeply involved, in a close but often uncomfortable embrace.

Look at it. It’s beautiful. It has some of the most ravishingly beautiful beaches on earth. Mountains, desert, jungle. Beautiful colonial architecture, a tragic, elegant, violent, ludicrous, heroic, lamentable, heartbreaking history. Mexican wine country rivals Tuscany for gorgeousness.

Its archeological sites—the remnants of great empires, unrivaled anywhere. And as much as we think we know and love it, we have barely scratched the surface of what Mexican food really is. It is NOT melted cheese over tortilla chips. It is not simple, or easy. It is not simply “bro food” at halftime.

It is in fact, old—older even than the great cuisines of Europe, and often deeply complex, refined, subtle, and sophisticated. A true mole sauce, for instance, can take DAYS to make, a balance of freshly (always fresh) ingredients painstakingly prepared by hand. It could be, should be, one of the most exciting cuisines on the planet, if we paid attention.

The old school cooks of Oaxaca make some of the more difficult and nuanced sauces in gastronomy. And some of the new generation—many of whom have trained in the kitchens of America and Europe—have returned home to take Mexican food to new and thrilling heights.

It’s a country I feel particularly attached to and grateful for. In nearly 30 years of cooking professionally, just about every time I walked into a new kitchen, it was a Mexican guy who looked after me, had my back, showed me what was what, and was there—and on the case—when the cooks like me, with backgrounds like mine, ran away to go skiing or surfing or simply flaked. I have been fortunate to track where some of those cooks come from, to go back home with them.

To small towns populated mostly by women—where in the evening, families gather at the town’s phone kiosk, waiting for calls from their husbands, sons and brothers who have left to work in our kitchens in the cities of the North.

I have been fortunate enough to see where that affinity for cooking comes from, to experience moms and grandmothers preparing many delicious things, with pride and real love, passing that food made by hand from their hands to mine.

In years of making television in Mexico, it’s one of the places we, as a crew, are happiest when the day’s work is over. We’ll gather around a street stall and order soft tacos with fresh, bright, delicious salsas, drink cold Mexican beer, sip smoky mezcals, and listen with moist eyes to sentimental songs from street musicians. We will look around and remark, for the hundredth time, what an extraordinary place this is.

The excuse that migrants came to work and contribute to society does not match the statistics. The NY Post reported, only 2% of 139,500 migrants in New York have applied for work permits, and thousands more are on their way to live off the welfare state. https://t.co/Tm2tLvZNW4

From Martin Armstrong,

People are coming to America for a better life at your expense. The excuse that migrants came here to work and contribute to our society does not match the statistics. As the NY Post recently reported, only 2% of 139,500 migrants in New York have applied for work permits, and thousands more are on their way to our cities to live off the welfare state.

New York received an influx of 2,800 additional people last week alone. There are 65,500 people living in shelters throughout the city at the expense of the taxpayer, and the mayor believes the city will spend of $2 billion this year on funding. We are putting more resources into supporting people who broke our laws by entering the country illegally than we do on our own citizens.

You can work your whole life and send countless funding into Social Security, only to receive the bare minimum upon retiring. You receive no interest on these funds and it is not optional to opt-out of contributing. The average retiree is expected to live on $1,555 per month, which is not enough to live in any US city.

Meanwhile, migrants are receiving a one-time payment of $2,275 and at least $1,225 per month which is more than they likely ever earned from their country of origin. Their room and board is on the taxpayers’ tab and there is no urgency for these people to enter the workforce. In fact, it seems as if they are encouraged to continue milking the welfare system to become utterly dependent on the state. I am stating figures from the US, but migrants are also living on the welfare system in Canada and every other Build Back Better country.

It is not economically feasible for the US to continue funding illegal immigration. And yet, thousands of people are crossing over into the US everyday and no one preventing the invasion of America.

DRAG QUEENS & COUNTRY MUSIC: Destroying Religious Convictions or Calling for Acceptance?

It's not like the Country Music Awards organizers planned the awards to show just a week after the mass shooting in Nashville, but perhaps the planners of the shooting did time the event accordingly to maximize political impact.  Well, that's some conspiracy stuff.  Depends on who you ask.  The celebration on the heels of the tragedy in Nashville has got to, and I am sure it is meant to, appall some folks.  But that is the angle--to bring people to a breaking point. 

With lyrics of killing your husband.   

CMT is Country Music Television, the host of the Awards. And what you're watching is the Country Music Awards Ceremony held at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas.  Singing is Kelsea Ballerini, and the song is "If You Go Down, I'm Goin' Down Too."  And what you think you heard is exactly what you heard.  Check out the lyrics.  

CMT keeps using words like slayed and killed. They said these drag queens slayed it. Right after the Nashville shooting. Should be called drag queen awards now. They also are promoting gun control. Literally. They did a segment on it.. #CMT #GoWokeGoBroke pic.twitter.com/9CjuioJkg7

Country music was hijacked long ago.  I mean this ain't the music of Dolly Parton or Hank Williams or Marty Robbins or two of my enduring favorites Tammy Wynette alone or in a duo with her husband, George Jones.

I keep all your secrets by the dozen

You know where my skeletons sleep

Hypothetically, if you ever kill your husband

Hand on the Bible, I'd be lyin' through my teeth.

But just as watching violent video games a mass murderer does not a player make, so violent lyrics don't a criminal make of the singer or writer or a cowgirl driving the Texas interstate.  

Awards, ceremonies, and parties are supposed to be a break from the day-to-day world but it certainly doesn't seem like we're living in an everyday world.  Is every context now a politically charged context?  It may seem distasteful but it also shows that the events are different.  Nashville is different and separate from Austin politically and tragic news us separate from an awards ceremony . . . right?  I do like the attempt by the CMA to cut through the media's efforts to cast all of one group as AR-toting murderers bent on revenge on a Christian school or Christian theology.  There are better ways of redressing one's grievances than by murdering adults and kids at school.  So, to that end, I almost appreciate the presence of the drag queens in Ballerini's performance, though I myself cannot look at it.  But like most public events, the presence of drag queens is a double-edged sword.  It doesn't necessarily try to mainstream or normalize different genders.  That's the media that's promoting the LBGTQ agenda.  Though the CMA did accomplish the feat of a drag show onto that national stage.  Why limit yourself to an elementary school library's afternoon reading hour?  

So as these military measures go, they're often stacked, meaning there are multiple layers of assault in a single event.  Here you've got the inclusion, conviction-destroying narrative shaping LBGTQ's "we're all the same" agenda with, drag queens, which is like the black face of the 1920s and '30s, and gun control.  BTW, as the inclusion narrative becomes more extreme, it means the country is going to have more of these mass shootings to push the ethics, the politics, and normalization so as to destroy religious convictions.  Immigration is part of this inclusion.  So the farther the country goes to lowering standards to nothing, the more violence will erupt.

America suffers from cultural pluralism while being debt slaved by a tiny minority of the elite.
