    I'll watch it, Mike. Thanks for posting. Maybe it will help me understand. I know that fentanyl from Mexico has replaced fentanyl that flowed from China, through Vancouver into the States. Nightmare. I've watched videos about the Darian pass. So sad. It's like there's this veneer of bright and shiny slathered over tourist world, wealth world, mundane chirpy happy world...and this. The grim reality of life for a good half of the world.

    It seems pretty clear that most people who will be voting for Trump are doing so because they think he will close the border and deport the worst of the illegal immigrants.
    Which may be the case, but it's also probable that the real controllers have been orchestrating that whole mess all along from behind the scenes (not just in the US, but globally) and setting up their sock puppets to keep the public distracted and busy complying.
    ...Even while thinking they are actually making real choices and not just the lesser of two evils.
    RFK Jr. is now becoming a part of that charade too, though likely much less willingly and/or knowingly.
    Though much less of a shill than the other candidates, his hands will largely be tied by the corptocracy, unless people really start waking up a lot faster and taking a lot more action for change than they have as yet.
    Shocks are probably the greatest impetus for such a change at this late juncture, and it seems likely there are still a lot more of those in store.
    Though shock can also paralyze, and that is probably what the puppet masters are counting on.
    They sanctioned Venezuela. That action impoverished those already living close to the edge. Called their legally elected leaders dictators, and speak of them like they are subhumans when they flee their countries and land on the US doorsteps.
    The question, for me, is what % of those flowing across the border are people fleeing their countries for the reasons you describe? What % of border crossings are for trafficking drugs, contraband, and humans into sex slavery or for organ harvests? What % are military-aged sleeper cells or agents of foreign enemies of the USA looking to wreak terror and havoc when called on?

    At present, there is simply no way to know the answer to any of these questions, because the current administration has a wide-open border policy, on purpose and by design. All we know for sure is people in droves are flowing into the country for all of these reasons, among others equally or more harmful to the interests of citizens.

    My hope is the % of nefarious actors entering the country is low, but we would be naive or in denial to believe everybody crossing the border illegally is simply a consequence of ill-founded imperialist policies. This is a pretext to confuse and obfuscate (and condone) the current situation. A clever political pretext at that. In fact, one could also argue the injustices of Western imperialism also beget the fat, rich, and most hedonistic open market in the world attracting the nefarious actors, for objectives described above, as well as the downtrodden--so my observations here are not at all an apology for US colonialism or imperialism.

    In sum, the open policy is not because the current administration has bleeding hearts for the demographic you describe, but rather, is solely based on the objective to concentrate political power.

    In any case addressing who is entering the country and why should be the basis for a legal immigration policy, IMO. There is also a legal procedure for asylum seekers to accommodate the demographic you describe (although this is admittedly a cumbersome and inhibitive process that requires reform). This is what we should be debating and focusing on--not succumbing to an open border policy that allows for a concentrate of political power and the destruction of the country, IMHO.

    IMO, what has to happen, and I don't think either Kennedy or Trump can pull it off, without a total restructure, is halving military spending and redirecting that money towards health programs and universal healthcare.

    Countries with universal healthcare have lower rates of obesity because social influence is on getting in shape and eating right. That's heavily reinforced by the universal care system.
    I'd be worried that, if we redirected a substantial portion of our military budget towards health, then (1) Big Pharma and Big Med would just get richer, (3) we the people would get even sicker, and (3) we'd go from already paying more per person for "health care" than most other "Western" nations (which often have healthier people), to paying even more per person, at risk of even more sickness.

    On the other hand, if we reformed our medical system so that it actually rewarded improving people's health, rather than using fear, greed, fraud, deceit, and debt slavery to advance the agenda of Satanic Khazarian eugenicists, then we could easily get by spending less money at the same time.

    They are infiltrating and hacking all kinds of systems in ways that can be used as a new kind of very effective warfare.
    Now as more and more Chinese are coming into the US illegally (as well as legally), and given how programmed and controlled the Chinese people are after decades of living and being brainwashed under Communist rule, there is no telling how many of them are saboteurs.
    The insanity of life in China now should not be underestimated, nor the lengths the CCP will go to to undermine and destroy the US, who they now consider to be their #1 enemy.)

    I know it's obnoxious to post a 1hr video and expect anyone to watch it. I just offer it in case anyone might want to. Please don't feel any obligation

    That route is treacherous, and I was surprised to see some migrants wearing sandals in your video. Wow. I have great sympathy for those families. It's hard for me to watch those little kids in particular make the journey.

    Bret Weinstein said most migrants are open and willing to talk about their journey, with the exception of the Chinese. In fact Bret and co were prevented from even going into their camps by the authorities there. It's all very sketchy.

    I have no ill will towards the well intentioned migrants at all. If I were them, I'd be doing the same exact thing. But it's just not sustainable. Four more years of this and we won't even recognize this country anymore. Trump is the only one who's willing to do anything about it.

    Glad you're posting on this thread again. You've raised the quality 100 fold already.

    Aah Mike, Thanks for the compliment! I watched your video and have no problem believing it's true. I don't find the sleeper cell/military type invasion in the US convincing.

    But I do get that there could be all manner of support for furthering organized crime from Mexico. Chinese gangs and Mexican gangs are working together now.

    When I talk about real estate prices in Canada, it might seem pretty benign, but there's a criminal element to it that's nasty as hell. I call Vancouver 'the city that fentanyl built'

    Most of the mainland Chinese who are permanent residents or new citizens are fine, but many aren't. Up until recently the federal govt has reacted in an appalling manner to those who have been screaming to DO something. Most of us aren't racists and calling us racists just provokes rage.

    We don't want drug activity to destroy lives while the proceeds of those crime are laundered through real estate, lowering the standard of living for people starting out in life, trying to rent or buy a place to live.

    https://www.nzz.ch/english/triad-mon...are-ld.1814726

    Associates of the Sinaloa drug cartel based in Los Angeles conspired with a Chinese underground banking network to move more than $50 million in drug proceeds from the distribution of cocaine and methamphetamine, federal drug officials announced last week

    Radically cutting the military budget back to it's original mandate of defense rather than offense, is what most Americans want. They also want universal health care. And that's across the political spectrum.

    Universal health is 'not for profit'. There isn't much incentive unnecessary, to fleece people, over medicate, unnecessary surgeries. Big Pharma is dealt with here. They can't gouge, and by govt dictate, doctors are not allowed to prescribe patented meds if meds out of patent, that perform as well, can be used.

    Canada has major problems in health care currently because we have a whole generation of doctors and nurses who are retiring. The Pandemic was super disruptive. But, by and large, while we wait for things to improve, we are better off with this system.

    How well did that work out for us, when off patent medications for covid, such as hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, and chlorine dioxide, and nutrients such as Vitamin D3 (with K2, zinc, ...) were widely available, low cost, safe, and highly effective treatments for covid ... but pushed aside by "big government", working behind the scenes for "big pharma", for the unsafe, ineffective, deeply toxic, vaccines, whose primary benefit is and will continue to be immense profits for Big Med and Big Pharma, treating various vaccine caused cardio-vascular and turbo-cancer diseases?

    If there's a few big corporations, somewhere in the "matrix", making some serious money, then it's for profit, one way or another.

    Of course, cutting the military budget is a good idea.

    But don't redirect that cash flow to big pharma. Any place there is a big centralized flow of cash, there is or soon will be a big sewer of death, disease, tyranny and fraud.

    The major national governments, such as the corporate U.S. government, need to spend less, far less, on both war and health.

    See further the "Decentralized Medicine" video, posted on Avalon here and here, for some of the background on this ... why our health must be put back in the hands of independent doctors and their patients, who are free to choose as they will and discuss in public with others what they will.

    That "Decentralized Medicine" video, posted on Avalon here and here, is powerfully accurate historically, wonderfully current with politics in recent days. It presents a compelling narrative, with great insights and with a vision of what's being done, here and now, to restore medical freedom.

    They may want that, but it is disastrous desire.

    I lived in Montreal Canada for a year and experienced the Canadian healthcare system first hand. I also befriended a radiologist and ER physician (what he told me blew my mind - he had to work both jobs to pay-off his school debt). I ended up driving my wife to Boston every week so she could receive the proper medical care she needed. I also have a close friend who lives north of Toronto, the care that family receives would trigger a negligence law suit here in the US. In addition, the Canadians are unable to get their best and brightest to go to medical school. Those who do, leave the country as soon as they can. Ultimately, government controlled healthcare becomes managed as a quota system as exemplified by the Canadian decision to legalize assisted suicide (just take a look at some of the posts in the God Save Canada thread here:)

    And I agree completely with the need to decentralize medicine:

    thanks...succinctly put...

    And THAT is the kernel of the nut within the nutshell...it's why we are in deep trouble + at the mercy of the Mega Rich Globalists, their banks, corporations and Media...

    In 2016 when we (UK) had the referendum on leaving or remaining in the EU... I decided very quickly which way I was going to vote - I didn't need to watch and consider debates about this and that... all I needed to focus on was the fact that the bigger and more centralized the organization the less influence the individuals within it had and the more vulnerable to crime and corruption and take over it was...

    but I digress...

    Quebec is a special case. The province operates like a separate country. Medical care is controlled by provinces, with money that flows from the federal govt. It's a constant federal battle with provinces, like Quebec, to spend dollars earmarked for medical system on that system.

    All provinces are NOT like Quebec.

    That "Decentralized Medicine" video, posted on Avalon here and here, is powerfully accurate historically, wonderfully current with politics in recent days. It presents a compelling narrative, with great insights and with a vision of what's being done, here and now, to restore medical freedom.
    I've described how it works. 'Big Pharma' is subject to the people, not the other way around. Regardless of current difficulties, we have a superior system.

    Quebec is a special case. The province operates like a separate country. Medical care is controlled by provinces, with money that flows from the federal govt. It's a constant federal battle with provinces, like Quebec, to spend dollars earmarked for medical system on that system.

    All provinces are NOT like Quebec.
    Agreed, that was certainly how it felt to me, there was indeed some animosity toward the rest of Canada.

    Having said that however, I cited a second example above concerning a friend who lives in Ontario. Her husband was diagnosed with Kidney cancer and told to put his 'life in order' even though they had not done an MRI or exploratory surgery. The earliest MRI they could get was 15 weeks out and surgery was scheduled 11 weeks out. They gave the husband a choice, MRI or surgery. He selected surgery because he knew if the MRI validated the original diagnosis then it would take another 3 months of waiting for the surgery. Imagine a family with teenage children preparing everyone for the death of the sole bread winner. Every day was torture. It turned out that there was no cancer and had they done the MRI, they would not have even bothered with the surgery. This is but one of many stories that family and their neighbors have experienced.

    Another example is a threat from the CCP that they will hack the upcoming election results.
    Their preference would no doubt be Kamala if their intention is to change the results, but they might just want to take it all down to create havoc.

    (This is just one example of what the Chinese Communist Party has planned for taking down the US.
    They are infiltrating and hacking all kinds of systems in ways that can be used as a new kind of very effective warfare.
    Now as more and more Chinese are coming into the US illegally (as well as legally), and given how programmed and controlled the Chinese people are after decades of living and being brainwashed under Communist rule, there is no telling how many of them are saboteurs.
    The insanity of life in China now should not be underestimated, nor the lengths the CCP will go to to undermine and destroy the US, who they now consider to be their #1 enemy.)

    No, it was a year or 2 before the pandemic.

    Crikey,
    looking at the last page of this thread makes me wonder if it has maybe been saved and returned to worthwhile reporting and discussion??
    I really hope so...

    I am at a loss as to how I can continue a coherent discussion ... as it seems that you and I live on different planets, even though we appear to walk on the same astronomical globe.

    Having any kind of real discussion at all on this thread again is pretty special just in itself...on that at least we can probably agee.

    *In CANADA,* under a universal system, big pharma is subject to provincial mandates, as in....doctors are not allowed to prescribe an expensive drug, under patent, if a cheaper generic drug is available. Big Pharma makes the bulk of its money by games they play with the patent process, and where I live, they don't get away with it.
