Bret Weinstein traveled to the Darien Gap to understand who's behind the invasion of our country. His conclusion: “it's not a friendly migration.” He sits down with Tucker Carlson to explain.

• 00:00 The Darien Gap, located between Panama and Colombia, serves as a critical passage for migrants moving from South America to North America, with over 520,000+ migrants crossing it annually.
• 01:24 The Darien Gap is an impassable jungle stretch of the Pan-American Highway, making it perilous for migrants due to difficult terrain, harsh weather, and lack of infrastructure.
• 03:26 Brett Weinstein's trip to the Darien Gap was prompted by Michael Yan's materials on Panama's situation, revealing the dangers and complexities of mass migration.
• 07:19 The migration through the Darien Gap involves both economic migrants and refugees, originating mainly from Ecuador and facing perilous conditions, including robbery, assault, and death.
• 10:17 Migrants passing through the Darien Gap claim economic reasons for migration, seeking better opportunities, though they may not fit the political refugee criteria.
• 12:08 The UN and US government are implicated in facilitating migration, with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) promoting migration as inherently positive.
• 17:29 A separate migration stream of Chinese nationals, housed differently and less transparently, suggests a different motivation, possibly economically driven.
• 21:44 The situation presents a complex narrative with elements of both migration and invasion, complicating discussions and responses. The administration's awareness and response remain ambiguous.
• 23:07 The level of corruption in the current political system is perceived to be much higher compared to the past.
• 24:43 China's Belt and Road Initiative extends beyond Africa and Asia to potentially include the Americas, with investments in infrastructure like bridges in Panama and the Darien Gap.
• 27:55 Suspicion surrounds the construction of a large bridge in Panama, suggesting hidden motives such as resource extraction or completing the Pan-American Highway.
• 32:14 Consideration of unconventional theories, like surplus males from China's one-child policy being deployed as a strategic force, is explored.
• 36:38 The surplus male population from China's one-child policy is speculated to be deployed as a strategic force, possibly contributing to mass migrations.
• 40:10 The transformation of military infrastructure, like the former US Army South building, into offices for organizations facilitating migration, raises concerns about the shift in societal priorities.
• 44:18 Skepticism surrounds the motivations behind policy decisions, suggesting a rampant outbreak of immorality and potential foreign influence shaping domestic affairs.
• 47:20 The journey through the Darien Gap is creating a humanitarian crisis due to its absurdity and danger, raising questions about the purpose of the migration.
• 49:25 Major news organizations' disinterest in reporting on critical issues like the migrant crisis suggests systemic corruption and a lack of journalistic ambition.
• 51:44 The migration through the Darien Gap has implications for the activities of cartels, potentially facilitating the entry of illicit substances into the US.
• 52:24 Entertaining various possibilities, including seemingly "crazy" ones, is essential to understanding and addressing complex issues like mass migration.
• 54:26 The mass migration through the Darien Gap, facilitated by a combination of low and high technology, poses unprecedented challenges and requires innovative solutions.
• 56:33 The environmental impact of the migration on the Darien Gap is catastrophic, with litter, bodies, and potential forest destruction, posing long-term consequences.
• 58:23 The government of Panama sees the migration as a temporary cost and is largely silent, but if the influx of migrants continues, it could lead to unrest and exacerbate existing economic challenges.
• 60:00 Panama faces stability challenges compounded by the migrant crisis and the potential closure of the Panama Canal due to drought, which could have significant global economic implications.

"This Is Not Friendly" - Bret Weinstein Shows Tucker Carlson How China & The UN Are Driving The Invasion Of America

BY TYLER DURDEN
FRIDAY, FEB 02, 2024 - 10:45 AM
"...I came away with the sense that it's probably literally both [a migration and an invasion]..."

Those are the chilling words that renowned biologist Bret Weinstein uses to describe what he found when he visited the Darien Gap in an attempt to understand just what is behind the sudden and overwhelming flood of migrants at the southern border of America.

The Darien Gap is a crucial yet perilous passage for migrants traveling from South America to North America that acts as a natural barrier (where, for 60 miles, the Pan-American highway ends and deadly jungle begins) that saw over half a million migrants traverse its challenging terrain last year alone.

"The jungle in the Darien Gap is some place that one does not go without careful preparation. It is quite dangerous... They're sleeping on the ground, and so they get hypothermia. It's extremely slippery."



In this chilling interview with Tucker Carlson - about a topic that apparently no actual reporter is willing to investigate and write about - Weinstein expolains that his journey to the Darien Gap was spurred by his interest in the unexplained aspects of mass migration, and the findings of Michael Yon, a former Green Beret turned investigative journalist.

"You wonder why there's not a permanent team of New York Times reporters there trying to tell the rest of us what exactly is happening."

Through their journey, Weinstein and Yon uncovered a complex narrative involving not political asylum-seekers, but economic migrants and potentially orchestrated movements that appear coordinated by various NGOs and, of particular concern, the Chinese migrant camps they encountered.

The first camp that Weinstein described visiting was full of migrants who were very open to discussing their stories with travelers, and looked superficially like the migration of Central Americans that we are constantly told about.

"Many of them are South American, but that is by no means the whole story. People are coming from the Middle East. We met Afghans. We met people from the Caribbean, Haitians. There are people from Yemen, Iran. It's shocking really."

But, the supranational authorities were all evident:

"You see, the hallmark of the international community. You see NGO emblems all over the place, proudly American flags. They've paid for the water system, the toilets that are there. The United States government is facilitating this economic migration. And it's unmistakable, as is an organization called the IOM, which is the International Organization for Migration. It's a branch of the UN.

And if you read their charter, you will discover that this organization believes that migration is an inherently good thing, that it's always good. And so they see it as their job to bring it about to facilitate it.

And in this case, that's particularly tragic because their desire to induce people to migrate is causing people who are woefully unprepared for the Darien Gap to try to make that journey. And, the the humanitarian tragedy is, is immense."

Weinstein then pivoted to contrast that experience with a second one, highlighting for Carlson how it had been "built as a transit camp" for "almost" all Chinese migrants.

"The SENAFRONT, the Panamanian border control, actually forbid us to go into the camp. So we had to stay on the outside of it. We were also forbidden to photograph it. So what photographs we have were taken covertly," Weinstein explained.

"These, Chinese folks who are overwhelmingly male, military age... It is not a friendly migration... This felt like people who did not want to share information, because it would be a mistake to do so."

Weinstein criticizes the lack of distinction made between political refugees and economic migrants at the US border, suggesting that the current policy framework is inadvertently supporting an unsustainable and potentially exploitative system.

This system, he notes, not only undermines the economic well-being of Americans but also contributes to a humanitarian crisis that is largely ignored by mainstream media and political discourse.

Tuckr Carlson concludes with words to live by:

"I think we have to stop punishing ourselves for considering things that one seems crazy. I'm getting that tattooed."

Finally, following the interview, @KanekoaTheGreat wrote a post on X following the thread that Weintein pulled about this being potentially orchestrated...

America's illegal immigration crisis is shattering century-old records with alarming numbers.

2023: 3,201,144
2022: 2,766,582
2021: 1,956,519
2020: 405,036
2019: 859,501
2018: 404,142
2017: 310,531
2016: 415,816
2015: 337,117
2014: 486,651
2013: 420,789
2012: 364,768
2011: 340,252
2010: 463,382

On President Biden's inaugural day, he introduced policies that incentivize illegal immigration:

Paused Deportations

Suspended "Remain in Mexico"

Stopped Border Wall Construction

Since Biden's policy changes, over 8 million people have illegally entered the country, with millions more slipping past border patrol undetected.

This surge in illegal immigration is a national security crisis, costing American taxpayers hundreds of billions per year.

Major U.S. cities, grappling with the escalating financial burden, are slashing budgets for essential services such as fire, police, and education.

President Biden holds the power to halt this crisis that is draining America's resources and endangering its citizens.

The solution is as simple as the actions that led to this crisis—Biden should use his pen to reverse his executive orders.

"No great nation can be in a position where they can't control their borders. It matters how you control your borders. Not just for immigration, but it matters for drugs, terror, and a whole range of things."

— Joe Biden

"We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented, unchecked, and circumventing the line of people who are waiting patiently, diligently, and lawfully to become immigrants in this country."

— Barack Obama

"All Americans, not only in the States most heavily affected but in every place in this country, are rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country. The jobs they hold might otherwise be held by citizens or legal immigrants. The public service they use imposes burdens on our taxpayers. That's why our administration has moved aggressively to secure our borders by hiring a record number of new border guards, by deporting twice as many criminal aliens as ever before, by cracking down on illegal hiring, and by barring welfare benefits to illegal aliens."

— Bill Clinton

The two major takeaways for me from this were Weinstein's hypotheses that

• There's an invasion (by Chinese military-aged men) which is being masked by a simultaneous genuine migration (whether or not that migration is a good thing). The latter makes the former harder to distinguish.

• The significant excess of men in the Chinese population, planned many years ago, may now be being weaponized — with those men now being put to strategic use to invade the US.

In light of Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s decision to ignore a recent Supreme Court decision about removing razor wire from an area near the Mexico border, the Biden administration has been placed in the difficult position of either enforcing the decision militarily or allowing Texas to flout a Supreme Court decision. Meanwhile, residents of Eagle Pass, the town where the conflict is coming to a head, are caught in the crossfire already.

Guest host Russell Dobular is joined by Due Dissidence’s Keaton Weiss to discuss where this border dispute will likely lead, and if Texas is the probably start point of an impending civil war.

... and who is gonna pay for that? ... either way it will have a price tag, no matter what happens!

[Alecs]

Agreed, John. Although I'll presume deportation of 22+ million is less expensive than paying each $2,200 per month, and then perhaps free education and healthcare at taxpayers expense, along with whatever destruction and 'enforcement' may arise from conflict, etc.

[Merkaba360]

Why can't they just make it prison time for employers hiring illegals. Wont many deport themselves if a lack of jobs. Where are all those 10 million recent illegals working? I'm sure there are cash jobs under the table, but is there that many? Why was Trump only wanting to build a wall. Or did he take other measures?

Bog down the US economy, cause social chaos and bankrupt it, in order for china to take Taiwan and gain a bit more dominance. Cuz if U.S loses 10% of its power and china gains that 10%, its a 20% shift. Then with that new power China starts infiltrating and bossing around American companies and bureaucrats even more. Sigh.

I guess it has to get really bad where even the dull see their country and prosperity being doomed. Then they be willing to take drastic measures to combat invaders. Can't wait for election time gonna be wild.

If Trump wins, what will lame duck Biden do the last few month in office. Send the millitary down to go pick up another 5 million illegals and drop them off in random states. lol Fill all the air craft carriers with illegals too.

♦️ Dick Durbin ♦️ illegals can join Military ♦️

"If illegals pass the physical and required tests you can serve in our Military and if you do it honorably WE will make you Citizens of the United States"

¤=[Post Update]=¤

Biden’s strategy is very simple:

1. Get as many illegals in the country as possible.

2. Legalize them to create a permanent majority – a one-party state.

That is why they are encouraging so much illegal immigration. Simple, yet effective.

How many Police/Military/FBI agents are needed to do it in such a way that there are no severe "incidents" like: violence and other horrific possibilities? ... Why not using a very big boat and do it that way? ... An airplane can crash when hijacked! ... A boat may be much easier to prepare for all kinds of security issues.

2013 Biden ‘Blueprint’ Reveals Illegal Migration as ‘Only Way’ for Democrats to Form Permanent Majority

2013 Biden ‘Blueprint’ Reveals Illegal Migration as ‘Only Way’ for Democrats to Form Permanent Majority

By thepoliticsbrief - February 4, 2024

The Center for American Progress (CAP), a far-left think tank founded by current Biden climate envoy John Podesta, published a policy blueprint in 2013 laying out how the Democratic Party should capitalize on the 11 million “undocumented immigrants” in the United States.

The CAP’s policy analysis argued that giving illegal immigrants a “pathway to citizenship” was the only way for the Democratic Party to “maintain electoral strength in the future.”

“Getting right on immigration and getting behind real and enduring immigration reform that contains a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented immigrants living in our country is the only way to maintain electoral strength in the future,” the policy analysts Philip E. Wolgin and Ann Garcia argued.

Arguing that “demographics is destiny,” the authors explain how the Democratic Party can take over red states one at a time. Their state-by-state analysis is modeled on the immigration wave that helped the Democratic Party take over California and turn it into a one-party state.

“As we move into the congressional debate on immigration reform, we should remember that the political shifts that have opened a space for reform—grounded in demographic changes—were not a phenomenon that debuted in 2012,” the CAP argues. “These changes began in the mid-1990s, when anti-immigrant politics in California helped turn the state reliably blue.”

“And as our nation moves toward a point where by 2043 we will have no clear racial or ethnic majority, 11 other states such as Arizona, Texas, North Carolina, and even Georgia are also reaching demographic tipping points,” the policy paper continues. “Whether or not these states turn blue in the future has a lot to do with how politicians in both parties act and what they talk about on the subject of immigration reform.”

The CAP’s funders read like a who’s who of power players: Bloomberg Philanthropies, Carnegie Corporation of New York, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Wellspring Philanthropic Fund, Arnold Ventures, Ford Foundation, Microsoft Corporation, Bank of America, Mastercard Worldwide, Verizon, Wells Fargo & Co, and many more.

The Biden administration has since raided the Center for American Progress for top policy analysts, as explained in a 2022 Fox News report.

“The Center for American Progress, a leading progressive think tank, has a large influence on federal policymaking with many of its former employees flocking to high-level administration roles,” the report states.

“The think tank’s extensive influence in the Biden administration was on particular display in an April 2021 email exchange between Christy Goldfuss, CAP’s senior vice president for energy and environment policy, and Jesse Young, a senior State Department adviser,” the report continues.

“You all keep taking our good people … so it’s safe to say that I’m a little behind,” Goldfuss told Young in the email.

President Biden hired CAP founder and chairman John Podesta as a senior White House clean energy czar in 2022, where he was tasked with managing roughly $370 billion in climate spending appropriated by the Inflation Reduction Act.

Podesta was hired in late January as the Biden administration’s top climate envoy, replacing outgoing climate envoy John Kerry. Neither John Kerry nor John Podesta are climate scientists, but lifelong political operatives.

“Mr. Podesta, 75, will take on that international role in addition to his current White House job overseeing $370 billion in spending on clean energy projects under the landmark 2022 Inflation Reduction Act,” the New York Times reported.

WASHINGTON — Last week, in a weak attempt to shift blame for a crisis their own policies created, the White House clumsily tried claim that House Republicans had an “anti-border security record” by voting to “eliminate over 2,000 border patrol agents and erode our capacity to seize fentanyl.”

These claims were demonstrably untrue, previously disproven, and underscored the Biden Administration’s failure to secure our southern border, marked by record high crossings in December and widespread national recognition that the situation at our border is a crisis.

“Since his first day in office, President Biden and his administration have worked to systematically undermine America’s border security,” Speaker Johnson said. “On more than 60 occasions, he has manipulated the federal bureaucracy to open our borders to illegal immigrants, human trafficking, fentanyl, and potential terrorists. The result is a humanitarian and national security catastrophe. The President must use his executive authority to repair what he has broken. I am calling on him to do so. “

• Feb 1, 2021: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) implemented Acting Secretary Pekoske’s policy requiring a new “process [that] shall provide for assessments of alternatives to removal including, but not limited to, staying or reopening cases, alternative forms of detention, custodial detention, whether to grant temporary deferred action, or other appropriate action.”

• Feb 2, 2021: President Biden issued Executive Order (EO) 14010 and began processing asylum claims at the border.

• Feb 6, 2021: Secretary of State Antony Blinken suspended, and began termination procedures, for the Trump Administration’s Asylum Cooperative Agreements with El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.

• Mar 20, 2021: DHS began issuing illegal alien border crossers a Notice to Report (NTR) to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as opposed to the standard Notice to Appear (NTA) in U.S. immigration court. The NTR policy allows illegal aliens to simply be released into the U.S. and relies on them to self-report to ICE at a later date.

• Mar 30, 2021: Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) took drastic actions to expand detention space to house unaccompanied alien children in so-called “Influx Care Facilities”, often using unlicensed facilities that lacked child welfare experience.

• Aug 5, 2021: The USBP authorized the use of parole plus alternatives to detention (ATD) in the Del Rio Border Sector.

Of those, nearly 50% of them did not check-in with ICE within the 60-day deadline.

• Sep 24, 2021: The Administration falsely accused Border Patrol agents on horseback in Del Rio, Texas of whipping aliens at the border. President Biden condemned the agents, saying the aliens had been “strapped” and vowed “consequences.” Vice President Harris piled on the false allegations, comparing them to oppression and slavery. In fact, DHS Secretary Mayorkas knew the claim was false and even though the agents were exonerated in July 2022, the Administration proposed punishment for the agents.

• Sep 30, 2021: DHS Secretary Mayorkas issued a memorandum that states “the fact an individual is a removeable [alien] should [not be the sole] basis of an enforcement action”, effectively using prosecutorial discretion to give deportable aliens a pass to stay in the United States, thereby granting a form of amnesty to many illegal aliens.

• Fiscal Year 2021: Throughout Fiscal Year 2021, the Biden Administration distributed more than $300 million in federal law enforcement grants to Sanctuary Cities under SCAAP, Byrne, and COPS programs (amounting to 43% of total awards going to sanctuary cities), financially rewarding cities whose policies encourage illegal immigration.

The DHS OIG determined that DHS failed to fully vet the evacuees. Failure to vet refugees, signaled that the Administration might also apply lax vetting to asylum seekers, further encouraging asylum abuse.

• Apr 1, 2022: The Biden Administration announced intent to end Title 42. Federal District Court Judge from Louisiana temporarily blocks the action.

• Apr 3, 2022: ICE Principal Legal Advisor issued memorandum promoting termination of cases in immigration court and directing ICE Office of the Principal Legal Advisor (OPLA) trial attorneys to comb through their cases to determine whether aliens would be considered a “priority” for removal under the Biden “enforcement priorities.”

• Jan 6, 2023: The Biden Administration began abusing statutory parole authority under INA 212(d)(5) by creating a categorical parole program for nationals of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.

Meanwhile, ICE arrests in Fiscal Year 2022 fell by 69% compared to Fiscal Year 2018 and arrests of convicted criminals fell 65% (to 36,322 in Fiscal Year 2022 from 105,140 in Fiscal Year 2018).

The program violates the law and allows aliens to enter before they receive a green card and without a visa.

• Apr 30, 2023: The Biden Administration circulated guidance that waters down the vetting process for Chinese illegal aliens, requiring that interviews used to question a Chinese illegal alien consist of five basic questions. The media reported that Chinese illegal aliens “quickly adapted” to the new CBP guidelines and were “coached” to give “stories that are identical.”

• May 5, 2023: CBP expanded appointment capability of the CBP One App. Through Nov. 2023, nearly 360,000 appointments had been scheduled on the app (43,000 in November alone). The CBP One app continues to be vulnerable to exploitation by the cartels.

• May 31, 2023: The Biden Administration ended the DNA testing program used to verify that adults who crossed the border with a child and claimed to be related to that child, are in fact related. Ending the program promotes not only illegal immigration, but also child exploitation and trafficking.

This is on top of the $363.8 spent by the program in Fiscal Year 2023.

• Aug 29, 2023: ICE scrambled after releasing into the U.S. more than a dozen Uzbek nationals with ties to an ISIS smuggler.

• Sep 8, 2023: The Biden Administration promulgated a proposed rule to reverse Trump-era policy and allow Immigration Judges to administratively close or dismiss removal proceedings without any action (something not allowed by statute), resulting in no decision denying asylum.

• Oct 4, 2023: The Biden Administration issued new rules on UACs that fails to prevent the release of illegal alien children to strangers, fails to facilitate age determinations, and fails to collect immigration information on sponsors. All of this will encourage trafficking of children, including by the cartels.

• Dec 21, 2023: Biden Administration announced the creation of a new “juvenile” docket within immigration courts which is so expansive, it gives specialized treatment to 18, 19, and 20 year-old illegal aliens who should be deported through the expedited removal process.

Tucker Carlson: Democrats would add to our voter rolls. 22 million. At least permanent electoral majority in perpetuity. That’s what this is about. It’s not about making the country better, serving our labor needs, helping the population. It’s about putting Democrats in power forever. That is the truth of our immigration debate.

(This hole in the border comes into the US through California; many more Chinese women and children being filmed coming through, though still plenty of young men.)

"A growing number of Chinese nationals, trying to escape repressive politics and a bleak economy, are headed to the U.S. They’re turning to a gap at the southern border with Mexico as a way to get in."
