It seems like the mainstream media/Democratic Party is very ready to throw immigrants and Trans people under the bus in the name of trying to undercut fascism by moving right. It's the kind of foolish, Starmer style politics only an establishment liberal could like.
I've been predicting the manufacture of a "national emergency" since Trump's inauguration (which hardly makes me a soothsayer) but not because Trump envisioned it but because his handlers did and do (Miller, Vought, other sycophant puppet masters) want a suspension of elections for the installation of an oligarchic autocrat. The jettisoning of military leaders who would potentially oppose a counter-invasion is not coincidental. The question will be do the actual boots-on-the-ground soldiers buy it.
So Ken, is this narrative about Weapons of Mass Migration a way for the CIA, the State Dept., and Executive branch to divert attention away from, and avoid taking any responsibility for, U.S. economic sabotage of the economies of Central and South America, thus causing people to have to leave their countries?
All good points Ken. I think it's all just a fake excuse to pre-position troops for when Trump announces he won't leave office and a justification for a white nationalist ethnic cleansing.
Nothing Trump has done or plans to do surprises me. He may be many things, but subtle isn’t one of them. While he charges ahead with the WMM program, the MSM and the Democrats are silent, possibly because they agree with him.
Thank you as always, Ken, for this thoughtful column.
One example that probably should be included is the pressure by Russia & Belarus on Poland, where they appear to be transiting and assisting migrants crossing the border.
Of course, the domestic version of this is Florida & Texas sending migrants to blue cities to put pressure on Democrats to change immigration policy during the Biden administration.
The biggest mistake Americans can make is to believe that what happens is just what happens and that there is no planning going on behind the scenes.
I highly recommend to everyone the book "War for Profit" by Ari ben Menashe, a former high level member of Israeli defense intelligence that Israel left hanging, resulting in a US prison sentence. The book is his tell-all and what things he tells. Nobody can read this book and still believe that what we see happening is what it is presented to be.
It's the same shit with the moronic right-wingers in Europe. They blame the people fleeing the US/NATO wars and never Israel / US / France / NATO / UK supporting economic and military actions on the people actually fleeing. A comprehensive hasbara/propaganda campaign is always first in order. Nevermind that both the US and the EU have advertised themselves as bastions of freedom and democracy for decades (or a century - "Give us your tired...."). In reality, when you fuck up other countries through war, sanctions, sponsoring of terrorism (Syria, Afghanistan anyone?) in the name of realpolitik for the elites, poor and lower middle class people and families will fucking try to move from the fringes to the core of the imperium. This is basic humanity - or sci-fi ("Dune" or "Foundation" anyone?).
This is all a shell game with Trump. Even moreso than the worst Democrat fake progressives. It's a distraction and a diversion. Nobody at all from Venezuela or "Tren de Aragua" would fucking even try coming here if the capitalist elites and their figureheads like Trump, Biden, Obama, and Bush weren't literally fucking up their home countries through warfare by means other than actual bombs. In Africa and the ME, there are actual bombs on top of sanctions, and Israel is always a player in that game.

Thank you for bringing WMM to our attention. No one else has and is. Counting on you, Ken to keep revealing what TPTB are concealing!
Glad you found it helpful Joy! I was surprised there's no coverage of such a major issue.
Ah, come on, Ken. How are the MSM mouthpieces going to benefit from that?
