    The time for deluding yourselves into thinking everything is OK is long over. We’ve been at war for decades. The war is now kinetic and coming to the USA, and elsewhere, every minute of every day.

    If you want a glimpse of what war is like, go to Jeffrey Prather’s show of 8/26/21 and watch the first minute. Watch it all and listen to and see the truth and reality of war. www.jeffreyprather.com.

    Brace yourself for what you will see and hear. If you want even a chance to survive what is coming, stop thinking and acting like you believe someone is going to come along to save you. That is a fairy tale. Take steps NOW to take all possible measures to save yourself and if you care (and if you can), your loved ones.

    Shock Footage: Over 8,000 Migrants Wait Under Texas Bridge, Border Patrol Calls Situation “Out of Control”

    Source says majority of migrants are Haitians and are arriving 'by the minute'

    Update (15:20 ET): The number of migrants under the bridge is now 9,300.

    https://twitter.com/BillFOXLA/status...83650493378562


    Harrowing new footage shows over 8,000 migrants waiting to be processed under a bridge in a Texas border town.

    The number of migrants under the Del Rio bridge doubled in just one day and border patrol officials are saying the situation is “out of control,” according to Fox News’ Bill Melugin.

    https://twitter.com/BillFOXLA/status...88795398250500


    The majority of the migrants are Haitians and are showing up to the bridge ‘by the minute,’ according to law enforcement on the ground.

    https://twitter.com/BillFOXLA/status...89399902212100


    Additional footage captures the scale of the crisis overwhelmed border officials are enduring with limited manpower.

    Texas Governor Greg Abbott slammed President Biden’s “sheer negligence” over the crisis and has announced he is shutting down six points of entry along the southern border to “stop these caravans from overrunning our state,” according to a statement from his office:
    “The sheer negligence of the Biden Administration to do their job and secure the border is appalling. I have directed the Department of Public Safety and the Texas National Guard to surge personnel and vehicles to shut down six points of entry along the southern border to stop these caravans from overrunning our state. The border crisis is so dire that the U.S. Customs and Border Protection is requesting help as their agents are overwhelmed by the chaos. Unlike President Biden, the State of Texas remains committed to securing our border and protecting Americans.”

    Border Patrol finds toddler, 3-month-old sibling abandoned in Rio Grande

    U.S. Border Patrol agents on Tuesday rescued two young Honduran children who
    were abandoned along the Rio Grande in southwest Texas, authorities said.




    Agents with the Eagle Pass South Station, near the border with the Mexican city of Piedras Negras, were performing boat operations around noon when they noticed an unusual color on the riverbank, according to federal officials. They approached the scene to investigate and found a 3-month old boy and a 2-year-old girl sitting on the grass with no adults nearby, authorities said.

    The two kids were quickly brought to safety, but the person responsible for leaving them unattended has not been found, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a news release. The children did not require medical attention.

    Agents also found a note under the baby’s carrier that said the boy and girl were siblings and nationals of Honduras, according to the release.

    This was not the first time authorities found migrant children abandoned along the river this year. In February, Mexican soldiers jumped into the Rio Grande to save a 2-year-old girl who was left there by a group of adults illegally crossing the channel near Ciudad Acuña, right across from the Texas city of Del Rio.

    The group even flagged the soldiers to show them the toddler fighting to stay afloat, Mexican authorities said at the time. A plastic bag found in the girl’s clothing contained a copy of her birth certificate, which showed that she was from Chile.

    An update from Breitbart yesterday:
    EXCLUSIVE: Border Patrol to Shut Down All Sector Checkpoints as Migrant Border Bridge Detention Camp Swells to 10K

    A law enforcement source within U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) tells Breitbart Texas that the unfolding Haitian migrant crisis is forcing the agency to shut down normal operations at all inland Del Rio Sector Border Patrol highway checkpoints. Staffing typically reserved for inspecting thousands of vehicles daily will be diverted to assist with the care, transport, and processing of 10,000 mostly Haitian migrants currently detained under the Del Rio International Bridge.

    According to the source not authorized to speak to the media, the shutdown will begin at 12 am local time on Friday and last until an orderly process to deal with the migrants at the makeshift camp is established. The immigration checkpoints are the last line of defense for the Border Patrol.

    In addition to a brief citizenship inspection at the checkpoints, Border Patrol deploys K-9s trained to detect concealed humans and narcotics. Non-Intrusive backscatter X-ray inspections of vehicles are used to scan for concealed cargo as well. Radiation detection equipment is used to look for radioactive materials.

    Three checkpoints will be closed to allow full staffing reallocation to the Haitian bridge crisis. Two more will close for vehicle inspections but will still be used to process and detain migrants.

    The sector’s busiest checkpoint just outside Eagle Pass sees at least 25,000 vehicles weekly.

    The source says the agency will be transferring a senior level manager from outside the sector to oversee the crisis at the makeshift camp. The source believes these changes are a sign that the Border Patrol will attempt to deal with the crisis using mostly in-agency resources.

    Meanwhile, the source complaints that smugglers will not need to use back roads or walk migrants around inspection stations to illegally move migrants into the U.S.

    The makeshift camp receives hundreds of migrants per hour.

    "This Is Illegal" - Republican Senator Blasts FAA Decision To Ground Drones Filming Texas Bridge Border Chaos

    Update (1100ET): Republican South Carolina Sen. John Kennedy said Friday that the FAA's grounding of all drones near that Texas bridge is fulfilling the Biden administration’s goal to hide the “lunacy” of its “open border” policy.

    “I believe that the reason that they’re limiting drone usage is because they don’t want the American public to know, and I think this is illegal,” Kennedy told “Fox & Friends.”

    “I’m sure that some are people who want to come to America for a better life. That’s fine. I’m proud of that, but that’s why we have a legal immigration system,” Kennedy continued, claiming that many of the migrants trying to enter the U.S. are criminals, child predators, drug dealers and terrorists.

    “The idea of saying that anybody who wants to come in can come in is lunacy and the American people don’t support it, which is why I think the Biden administration is preventing the usage of the drones.”

    The senator insisted “we now have an open border policy … The nut jobs are in charge in the Biden administration.”

    The Border Patrol denied that grounding the drones has anything to do with news gathering and said that it “requested the temporary flight restriction due to drones interfering with law enforcement flights on the border."

    As of 6 hours ago, the numbers reported by Fox News are 11,000 migrants under the bridge with another 10,000 about to arrive.

    (The Infowars.com live headline is "Dozens of Haitian Caravans Numbering over 50,000 have Literally Invaded Mexico & are now surging over Texas Border like a Tidal Wave".)

    There's a report out that Biden is stopping all public drone flights on the southern border. This is a deliberate attempt to hide what is happening. Does anyone know why Biden is not following the recent SCOTUS ruling to remain in Mexico by Trump for illegals? By now major crimes by Biden & admin are obvious and yet Congress and other agencies that should care are quiet.

    I heard from a friend in Mexico that the doors are basically open at the Guatemala border, and i have not been able to find anything to verify that, but it does seem to be true seeing how many thousands are suddenly there at the US border. And the difference than last time in 2018, is that no news seem to be on any channel about how these people made it through the entire Mexico country and up to the US border. That seems very suspect, did they really walk all the way? How? why no one is posting about thousands of people moving through Mexico cities like last time? Or where they moved in buses and trucks or even planes?

    It does seem like this is a planned effort, and with government help on the Mexico side, as far as i can tell from what i've been reading. Mexican government is migration friendly as much as it can be, as long as they don't stay in Mexico for long, so it seems

    Also, see news like this for example:

    "Mexico: third migrant caravan dispersed, AMLO asks Biden to attack the origin of the migration"
    https://www.france24.com/es/am%C3%A9...vana-migrantes

    English version
    https://translate.google.com/transla...vana-migrantes

    So if these are being "dispersed" then how are the thousand and thousands coming through? It doesn't make much sense

    No-one's being dispersed. The footage is extraordinary. It's never been like this, nothing even close. There may well be hundreds of thousands more on their way from Haiti. It's 100% out of control.

    So if these are being "dispersed" then how are the thousand and thousands coming through? It doesn't make much sense

    Yes exactly, i was worried about my stuff in Mexico, like my car in storage and someone noticing my apartment being alone for days and breaking in, but nothing happened so far. I asked friends and they said "no migrants have come through here at all, not one at all" and it got me thinking so i started looking for news and nothing but lies and fake stuff came up, like that article that says "20" people were detained

    I don't think those people are walking or crossing the country in the same way as the last time, it's almost as if they cross the border, and transport immediately to the US border. I think they are being taken there by buses and trucks, because nothing else can explain it

    This is a very well organised operation
    Tired

    Check out the look Pompeo has @9:47 on his face as Ducci is speaking. He almost seems too comfortable in the knowledge being spoken, as if he know what further action is coming. Also we really dont know what part Pompeo plays in devolution or future moves by Trump, or is he playing high stakes poker and no tells to spot is the only way forward?

    immigration starts @8:15

    A new report from Breitbart (the publication date was yesterday)
    REPORTS: Biden Admin to Expel Thousands of Migrants at Border on Flights Back to Haiti



    The Biden administration will reportedly begin expelling thousands of Haitian migrants to their home country beginning on Sunday. Multiple news outlets report that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will begin flights on Sunday to move the migrants gathered under a border bridge in Texas back to Haiti.

    The Associated Press reports that the Biden administration plans “widescale expulsion of Haitian migrants” who are currently being detained under the Del Rio International Bridge. More than 12,000 mostly Haitian migrants are currently being held in the Texas border region.

    The details on the numbers of flights per day vary based upon different sources. The AP reports there will be between five and eight flights per day. NBC News reports there could be between eight to ten per week. The flights will continue each day except for Saturdays — 12 flights per week.

    Sources within U.S. Customs and Border Protection told Breitbart Texas that two flights will depart from the United States and carry more than 200 Haitian migrants back to their home country.

    The source says some flights previously scheduled to remove the Haitians have been canceled for unknown reasons but expects this round of flights to continue as planned. The migrants will be taken from the makeshift camp under the Del Rio International Bridge and transported to a processing center in Eagle Pass, Texas. Once processed, the Haitian migrants will be manifested and turned over to ICE Air Operations Branch for their removal flights.

    CBP officials announced the closure on Friday evening of both international bridges in Del Rio, Breitbart Texas reported. The move following action by Del Rio Mayor Bruno Lozano to close down the toll plazas at the Del Rio International Bridge.

    Dire circumstances require dire responses,” Del Rio Mayor Bruno Lozano said, according to the Texas Tribune. “There’s people having babies down there [under the bridge], there’s people collapsing out of the heat. They’re pretty aggressive, rightly so — they’ve been in the heat day after day after day.”

    Texas Governor Greg Abbott responded by sending Department of Public Safety troopers, National Guardsmen, and Humvees to the region to provide assistance.

    “President Biden’s complete lack of concern for Americans who are in the direct path of the crisis he’s created is appalling,” Governor Abbott’s spokesman Rene Eze said in a statement. “The record-breaking surges of thousands of migrants and the incompetent response show the utter disarray within the Biden Administration.”

    “Governor Abbott has talked with Del Rio Mayor Lozano and is directing state resources and personnel to the region, including additional DPS troopers and National Guardsmen, as well as Humvees,” Eze continued. “TxDOT is expediting the erection of barriers to provide assistance. Texas continues to step up to secure the southern border and protect Americans.”

    The migrants will be returned immediately without the opportunity to apply for asylum under the Trump administration’s Centers for Disease Control (CDC) emergency COVID-19 Title 42 authority. The order calls for the immediate return of migrants, generally at entry. In the case of the Haitian migrants, many have been physically present in the United States for days or weeks, which is outside previously applied protocols that saw many migrants returned to Mexico within two hours.

    The source says primarily single adult migrants will be a priority but some family units may be removed on the flights as well.

    I've alerted Karen to your kind posts. She's been very snowed under (metaphorically! ) with a whole bunch of urgent work and other demanding things. But she promises to reply and add to the thread from her viewpoint. (She's only about 100 miles from Del Rio, but she says she and her rancher neighbors are all fully aware.)

    Meanwhile!
