Secret Communique with My Fellow Father-in-Law

     I am skating around on thin ice, so to speak, because we really do not like to reveal the content  of private communique's with close friends / relatives.  But my fellow father-in-law, like his fellow father-in-law, is walking around stunned at this mass of presumptuous zombies who actually think they have the right to "walk right in" and take up ringside seats in the Republic of Texas and/or the United States of America.

   To watch Jorge Ramos, who is certifiable as a ranting, mendacious, marxist, Gringo-hating oaf as he assures us that these nice people walking by him on their way to Texas or somewhere up north, are just family people looking for safety and opportunity.

   When Jorge was doing a stand-up yesterday, and the "marchers" were walking with determination, lugging their luggage, it was apparent that 92.4% of them were males, well nourished, and ages 15 to 30…with no women or children. Jorge breathlessly reported as they walked by, "They are young mothers with young children just looking for a better life.  They are good people."

    The minders who are at work on the "imaging thing" run over quickly to deny people taking pictures of anything beyond the "mommies" and their "children".  It is not a "caravana" (incorrect term), it is a "desfile" (correct term)…but actually it is neither…it is truly just a sham.

     Below is the content of my answer to my fellow father-in-law…a truly great friend.   I respond to his question about why the President cannot deploy Federal Troops on the border's edge.  He is more "to the point"…while I am long-winded…and perhaps that is why we get along so well.   We are,  in this matter, both in concurrence and agreement.

Estimado Consuegro,

    There is some debate about this.   One school of thought is certain that the proviso of "posse comitatus"…a term that, once the braids and tangles are sorted out by the legal beagles…requires, suggests, calls for, and is generally obeyed in the sense that it forbids the American central government (Washington D.C.) from deploying United States Army troops on American soil for the purpose of disciplining and/or punishing American citizens and people who are not committing challenges to the authority of the law of  a  State or any combination of States and / or localities, or the laws of the Nation.    To wit:

THE ACT:

     Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385, original at 20 Stat. 152) signed on June 18, 1878 by President Rutherford B. Hayes. The purpose of the act – in concert with the Insurrection Act of 1807 – is to limit the powers of the federal government in using federal military personnel to enforce domestic policies within the United States. It was passed as an amendment to an army appropriation bill following the end of Reconstruction and was subsequently updated in 1956 and 1981.

     The act only specifically applies to the United States Army and, as amended in 1956, the United States Air Force. While the act does not explicitly mention the United States Navy and the United States Marine Corps, the Department of the Navy has prescribed regulations that are generally construed to give the act force with respect to those services as well. The act does not apply to the Army National Guard or the Air National Guard under state authority from acting in a law enforcement capacity within its home state or in an adjacent state if invited by that state's governor.

     The United States Coast Guard, which operates under the Department of Homeland Security, is not covered by the Posse Comitatus Act either, primarily because although the Coast Guard is an armed service, it also has both a maritime lawenforcement mission and a federal regulatory agency mission.

The title of the act comes from the legal concept of posse comitatus, the authority under which a county sheriff, or other law officer, conscripts any able-bodied man to assist him or her in keeping the peace.

History:

   The Act, § 15 of the appropriations bill for the Army for 1879, found at 20 Stat. 152, was a response to, and subsequent prohibition of, the military occupation of the former Confederate States by the United States Army during the twelve years of Reconstruction (1865–1877) following the American Civil War (1861–1865). The president withdrew federal troops from the Southern States as a result of a compromise in one of the most disputed national elections in American history, the 1876 U.S. presidential election. Samuel J. Tilden of New York, the Democratic candidate, defeated Republican candidate Rutherford Birchard Hayes of Ohio in the popular vote. Tilden garnered 184 electoral votes to Hayes' 165; 20 disputed electoral votes remained uncounted. After a bitter fight, Congress struck a deal resolving the dispute and awarded the presidency to Hayes.

      In return for Southern acquiescence regarding Hayes, Republicans agreed to support the withdrawal of federal troops from the former Confederate States, formally ending Reconstruction. Known as the Compromise of 1877, South Carolina, Florida, and Louisiana agreed to certify Rutherford B. Hayes as the president in exchange for the removal of federal troops from the South.^[1]

      The U.S. Constitution places primary responsibility for the holding of elections in the hands of the individual States. The maintenance of peace, conduct of orderly elections, and prosecution of unlawful actions are all state responsibilities, pursuant of any state's role of exercising police power and maintaining law and order, whether part of a wider federation or a unitary state. During the local, state, and federal elections of 1874 and 1876 in the former Confederate States, all levels of government chose not to exercise their police powers to maintain law and order.^[1] Some historians have concluded most Reconstruction governments did not have the power to suppress the violence.

      When the U.S. representatives and senators from the former Confederate States reached Washington, they set as a priority legislation to prohibit any future president or Congress from directing, by military order or federal legislation, the imposition of federal troops in any U.S. state. By the 1878 election, Congress was dominated by the Democratic Party, and they passed the Posse Comitatus Act in 1878.

     In the mid-20th century, the administration of President Dwight D. Eisenhower used an exception to the Posse Comitatus Act, derived from the Enforcement Acts, to send federal troops into Little Rock, Arkansas, during the 1957 school desegregation crisis. The Arkansas governor had opposed desegregation after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1954 in the Brown v. Board of Education that segregated public schools were unconstitutional. The Enforcement Acts, among other powers, allow the president to call up military forces when state authorities are either unable or unwilling to suppress violence that is in opposition to the constitutional rights of the people.^[2]

     The original Posse Comitatus Act referred essentially to the United States Army. The United States Air Force, which had been incorporated within the Army inside the U.S. (and the Navy outside) until 1949, was added in 1956. This law is often relied upon to prevent the Department of Defense from interfering in domestic law enforcement.^[3] The United States Coast Guard is not included in the act even though it is one of the five armed services because it is not a part of the Department of Defense.

     At the time the act became law, the modern Coast Guard did not exist. Its predecessor, the United States Revenue Cutter Service, was primarily a customs enforcement agency and part of the United States Department of the Treasury.^[4] In 1915, when the Revenue Cutter Service and the United States Lifesaving Service were amalgamated to form the Coast Guard, the service was both explicitly made a military branch and explicitly given federal law enforcement authority.

______________________

    

      From this point, pulling away from the dry legalese of condensed Law Journal summaries, it essentially means that the President of the United States of America cannot deploy active American military forces on American soil.  There have been exceptions:   (1) The enforcement of the integration of schools in Little Rock and the remainder of Arkansas,  and (2) the Urban Riots that took place during the Summer of 1966…and (3) the events at Mount Carmel when the United States Army, with General Wesley Clark is charge, sent personnel and helicopters and  heavy machinery to destroy the  compound where the religious nuts were holed up.  Trouble there was that there were 42 children inside the building when it erupted into flames.  Only four or five escaped.

    And, and as you know, my father served in the Army and was deployed in the area of Fort Brown in Brownsville and Fort Ringgold in Rio Grande City.  Many National Guard soldiers were sent down by their Governors, at the request of the War Department due to the instability on the border.  Since my father was Regular Army, he and his squadron led and big-brother'd the Guardsmen they led and commanded.   New York, Minnesota, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin sent significant numbers of National Guard troops…and this support continued up to and through to the mid-1930s.   There mission was to intercept illegal alcohol and drugs,  guard against anarchists, communists, German agents, and other acts of marauding that continued up into the late 1930s.  After that the mounted cavalry was essentially abolished.

    Several hundred thousand cavalry, mounted infantry, infantry, artillery batteries, and support personnel from many States moved in and out during well over twenty years because of the continuing disorders in Mexico, especially along the lower reaches of the Rio Grande.  It was hot, dusty work…with weird cold snaps during January and February…and wet spells that never ended and droughts that never ended…and it all made good, tough soldiers.

    My reading, therefore, is that active regular Army can be deployed because it is in defence of the territorial integrity of the State of Texas, being invaded by foreign parties, not Texian or American citizens.  United States Representative  Henry Cuellar, a relatively conservative Democrat is of the opinion that Posse Comitatus can not be used by any uniformed personnel…military or constabularies, unless approved by the State's governor.

    His position is that, in matters of a State's responsibility and rights, then, must devolve upon the Constabulary first, then the Governor's National Guard (Texas happens to have a State Guard as well).  But, this must recognise that United States Regular Army can enter into a State's insurrection problem, IF the President orders the United States Regular Army soldiers to follow the orders of the governor.   That moves well into the sticky business and a morass of legal purgatory.

  I tend to disagree with Congressman Cuellar (who was appointed as Secretary of State by George W. Bush during his first term as Governor) and his point of view, based upon my father's service and for the fact that (in succession) Governors Colquitt  James (Pa) Ferguson, William Hobby, Pat Neff, Miriam (Ma) Ferguson, Dan Moody, Ross S. Sterling, and (Ma) Ferguson (2nd term).  These names mark an epoch of 1911 through 1935 that the Governors (and the Governess) deployed Regular American Army and National Guardsmen from many different States all along the Rio Grande.

Please forgive the Blowhardness, but you know how I am.   I try to answer good questions with depth and understanding.

  It is truly confounding.  Please forgive the errors that show up, and we shall
 re-commit to quality control in this matter.  Thanks for your patience.)

          There is not the least doubt that the matter presenting itself along the border, here in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of  Texas (a cultural zone composed of Cameron, Hidalgo, Starr, and Willacy Counties with a combined population of approximately 1,500,000 individuals) is caused by outside influences.  It is situated at the very southern tip-end of the Republic of Texas.   It was an area of intense and extensive agriculture for many years, from the change of Century in the early 1900s up until around 1980 when industry and commerce took over, and rich agricultural land became the launching pad for foundations, upon which were built the engines of industry and commerce.

      There were waves of "migration" over the years, not counting the aboriginals, who were few, and usually not immigrating or emigrating people, but rather hunter-gatherers or marauders from the Northland who came to punish the Spanish colonists of the late 1500s through the mid to latter 1700s.  This punishment consisted of sacking possessions such as horses, mules, etc. and the carrying off of children, especially females, and useful hardware such as muskets and later, rifles.  The main Indian groups who did these things were primarily Kiowa, Kickapoo, Comanche, and two or three different divisions of Apaches.  The Apache sometimes allied with the other tribes, and sometimes they were hostile towards them, much like the Comanches.

     The resident Karankawa were known to be cannibals, but much of that lore could well have been nothing more than their proclivity to eat raw things…be they vegetative, reptilian, mammalian, or whatever.   
     Other Indians advised the Spanish that these Indians, originally encountered by Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca and his little party of shipwreck survivors, were cannibals and "come crudos" (coh - MAI  CREW - dohs) or "raw-eaters".

Alvar and his mates did not ever suggest such a characteristic, and they were the first White men to encounter the Karankawa.
    Your humble writer yields to the notion that the Karankawa males were over six feet tall.  It is not my understanding nor my eldest brother's who was quite an expert in those matters.  But, it is true that they were very tall and imposing compared to the Spaniards and especially to the other Indian groups.

     The OROG might be, and perhaps should be, scratching his/her head while wondering, "What in the Devil does any of this have to do with anything?  Here we are in a Battle for the death or life of an amazing American Culture, and El Gringo Viejo is blubbering about some Spaniard who decided to go swimming and then take an Around the Continent Walking Tour.  Everyone knows Spaniards are stoic and crazy anyway, so what's the news?  What does the XVIth Century have to do with these things facing us right now!? We're well into the XXIst Century".

     The reason all of this "useless" information is being foisted upon the poor reader is to certify to  to a degree that your writer is a somewhat learned person, a child and brother of two men who were dedicated historians, very capable archeologists, geographers, students of the Spanish occupation of the New World, etc.  They were also students of Spanish history as it melded in to Mexican History…a vastly different, yet similar construct.   And I studied greatly at their knees, and also with my own efforts.   My degree from Southwest Texas State University was in Sociology with Emphasis on Latin America, especially Mexico.  Over half of my hours were in Spanish language, Mexican Indigenous groupings, Mexican History during the Spanish Colonial Period, Mexican History and Economics since Independence, Analysis of the Revolution of 1910 and the Cristeros War of the 1920s.  Also included were studies of modern Mexico, including the oligarchical period of dominance of Mexico by the Partido de la Revolucion Institutional, which essentially ruled Mexico from 1920 through to the year 2000.   I was born in 1947, graduated in 1969 from University, and essentially lived through most of my life with the PRI in charge of governance.

   I was born into a rural environment with parents who were quite used to a "Mexican Presence" because such labouring people were the labour currency of the day.  I was exposed to and dealt with people of Mexican, Spanish, and Latin American background of all social levels…bums, professional people, white collar, blue collar, millionaire "landed people", and all other sorts.  My eldest brother was known as "Chico" because that is what the Mexican workers in our grove-care business called him…it meant Little or Younger Boy…and he was called "El Chico" because he bore the same name as his (and my) father.   The Anglos at school learned of this nickname, and employed it until it essentially became his name on campus.   Still, to this day, there are people we encounter who ask about "Chico".  My brother and father were totally fluent in Spanish at all levels… and I have been accused of having that same ability.
  
      At these times discussion and analysis morphs now from the period of upheaval, following the Fall of Maximilian von Hapsburg, Second Emperor of Mexico 1863 - 1867 and the mess caused by Benito Juarez Garcia and then the Porfiriato (1876 - 1911), the Mexican Revolution (1910 - 1917 - 400,000 killed), the Cristeros War (1922 - 1929 - 220,000 killed)… sending perhaps as many as 500,000 refugees from the early 1920s through the early 1930s into the UnitedStates, and more especially, the Republic of Texas.

      Demagoguery against the religious, the Roman Catholic, the missionary Protestants and the conservative political figures continued into 1930s.   There  were scores of failed, central planning, leftist "reforms", that would eventually sink Mexico into massive fiscal collapse during the 1970s and  early 1980s.   The effects of that overspending, counting on newly found oil reserves to "balance the budget", was finally brought under some control…20 to 30 years later, after much gnashing of teeth and sweating of blood.
     Mexico began to right itself by entering into the international accord with Canada and the United States, and by returning to the old notion of pay-as-you-go taxing and spending.   Failures and setbacks and disorder (cartels and gangs) have plagued the first years of the 21st Century.  The response by four Presidential Administrations has been effective but far from totally successful.  From my point of view, however, we are in much better position than, say, six or seven years ago.

     While all this is going on, other dynamics enter onto the scene of human activity.   One is the original Amnesty that was put into place during the Reagan Administration.   This Trojan Horse was foisted upon the American public and was mounted upon two falsities.  To wit:

    (1)   The Amnesty for especially Mexican citizens living illegally in the United States ushered in about 2,000,000 people overnight as new  citizens…(let us say over an 18 month period)…and as those people converted to American citizenship on a fast-track basis, there began an immediate globbing-on of the link-chain immigration into the United States.   Parents and grandparents, cousins, nephews / nieces, "unknown children", common-law wives, divorced wives and husbands, it was an amazing bounty, according to the Democrats in California and Texas.
      For a while the Democrats smirked and giggled about how they had put one over on "The Gipper (Ronald Wilson Reagan)" and they began the effort to sign up hundreds of thousands (supposedly) new Democrats who would go on the dole and vote Democrat like good proles.  It would be something similar to what the Mexicans had been accustomed to in Mexico's election process over the years.  And:
   (2)  The Democrats would expand and maintain their hegemony of power in the Republic of Texas, blunting the gains that had been made during the previous 20 years by the GOP.   That did not work out so well.

     BUT!!  During the period from 1990 through 2005 a very strange thing happened.   Two dynamics hit the sociological ignition switch.  One was the fact that the poor, oppressed people who came in under the Amnesty…and the chain-link people were really not all that interested in voting and citizenship and all that stuff.  A significant minority were only interested in obtaining a Lone Star Card (food stamps), Aid to Families With Dependent Children, Affordable Housing subsidies (Section 8 and public housing), preferential treatment and allowances in public schools, etc.  Such benefits were prohibited, of course, but what's a billion here and a billion there when the government prints lots  of dollars whenever they're "needed".
      The Democrats had some success in signing up several hundred thousand for voters' registration cards…but they had more difficulty in actually getting those people to the polls.   In South Texas, overall voter turnout in City / School elections might be 5% of all eligibles, in by-elections such as these moments, perhaps 25 - 30%, and Presidential elections, perhaps 40%.

     The ethnic composition of the County of Hidalgo changed from 75% Angloid and 25% Latinate in 1960 (169,000 population) to 92% Latinate and 08% non-Latin in 2010 [nearing / right at] 1,000,000 souls).  Oddly enough…Republican percentage share of the vote has increased from a time when there was barely any Republican vote save for Presidential races and almost none in State and local races.
    Of course, the welfare percentage in 1960 was well under 10% receiving any form of "public assistance".  Now, in Hidalgo County, somewhere between 45% and 55% are on partial, but more especially, total public assistance.

     Then another thing began to percolate.   Lots of the "colonial Latins" (the ones who were here before the Gringos came, and were associated with Spanish colonisation) gradually began voting for this or that Republican, and realised that their arm did not fall off.   Then the citizen (by birth or naturalised) who were white collar or blue collar in the labour force began to lurk around the edges of Republican rallies and barbecues.  Many of those Latins were distressed about having to wait behind people in the grocery line who were buying things people with good jobs and wages could not afford.  Many of them came from a strain, previously very common, who would starve to death before taking "hand-outs" or welfare payments. 

     Then, just milling around, one can imagine their surprise when they saw Primo Fidencio over there knawing on a rib while talking to a batch of Anglos…and a couple of Latins…and they were wearing signs, stickers, and other campaign junk all over their clothes…all Republican.   Gee Whiz, the Angloids were associating with Cousin Fidencio just like he was one of them.   The citizen, previously a passive Democrat, joins and listens to beliefs and attitudes that…Gee Whiz…are almost exactly like his.  At this point, right-wing crazy Latinoids are about as common as right-wing crazy Angloids (such as I) in the Republica Tejana.  

     Then we must consider the inevitable dispersion of the Latin demographic element in Texas…mostly Spanish / Mexican of background…and they are now found in increasingly diluted census tracts, by a percentage  that is much less than the old "Barrio" but which is dispersed by intermarriage and passage into neighbourhoods and communities that are hospitable.
   Now, "The Barrio" is Texas in its totality…people with German, Czech, Polish, Anglo, Black African, Irish, Russian, Swedish, etc. etc. who came to Texas back in the 1840s -  1870s.  Twenty five or more ethnicities compose Texas population historically. Satellite communities, generally conservative, around the heavily Democrat Dallas, always outvote the "big-brother" (Dallas).   We even  have our own Indian reservations.  And their vote is up for grabs in these times.

    During the past 20 years the Latin group has steadily moved to the right…voting Republican…piling up Honourable Discharges…piling up Congressional Medals of Honour and generally fitting into a kind of Lawrence Welk - Pedro Infante - Christian-based understanding of what Texas and America should be.
     The First Lady of the Republic of Texas is actually a real, live born-in-Mexico type person. She is a stunningly attractive and intelligent woman of high academic accomplishment who has managed to discipline our cranky, mean old President (Governor) of the Republic of Texas.   She has stood in front of, behind, and beside her husband, who suffered a paralysis of his legs when a huge tree limb fell on his lower back while he was jogging.  And she has helped him maintain and further develop his dignity and intelligence from that time until now.  He had been a noted jurist before…and now he (and she) are the President and First Lady of the Republic of Texas and very admired.

     There are all these people;  Mexicans,  and other nationalities, who have come in under legal conditions…a difficult row to hoe…and helped make Texas what might well be the premier political subdivision of the New World.   Back in the 1930s,  we had "undocumented" people come up, but they came to work, temporarily, and then go back to their homes.  Others came under the "Bracero Programme" (bracero  [brah - SEHR - oh] -  one who uses his hands and arms to fulfil his work duties.  The word for "arm" in Spanish is brazo).   The Bracero Programme was designed to employ Mexican workers for certain terms to work directly and indirectly in agricultural pursuits.   It was in force from the mid to late 1930s through the mid 1960s.
     I accompanied my mother and/or my father over to Reynosa (McAllen's sister city on the 'other side' of the Rio Grande) when they would send significant sums of money by wire, through Telegrafos y Telefonos Mexicanos, to all nature of strangely named places, especially in Guanajuato and Michoacan…and San Luis Potosi State and Jalisco State.  It was a wonderland.  I thought to myself, "It would be nice to go to all those places and see what they are like."

    Over the years, we did manage to see many of them, even visit at times with the folks there. In the end, we essentially visited and / or did business in every State of the Mexican Union, save for Baja California Norte.

__________________________

SUMMARY:

     Now the reader must certainly know me better than before.  You can then trust that I am not a raving bigot.  I am a realist…with very slight optimistic overtones.   I have dealt with numerous Central Americans of all stripes and types.

     The OROG should be aware that the people in the "caravanas" which should be called, correctly "desfile" (parade march or long walking line) or better, "turbas".  One thing they are not is a spontaneous collection of like-minded people who decide to go to a Houston Texan football game in a couple of weeks.
     They are carefully scripted, recruited, and paid, as well as given stipend-like resources to buy some necessities at times.   There are racially pure-white people who are obviously in charge of a largely Mestizo group.  If one watches carefully, blond girls, and professor-looking men  can be seen barking orders and pointing with authority, etc.   There are people with solid colour shirts…some green, some red, and some yellow.  These are demarcations of authority and rank.

      As I analyse the appearance of the participants, it is noted that some 40 per cent is composed of younger males who are without wives, girlfriends, sisters, mothers, apparently.  Actually there was even one fellow who was wheeling a baby carriage with a baby, wrapped up to protect him/her from the tropical sun.  The only problem was, when some girls went over to the the "baby", the hoisted him/her up and, POW!  A Doll! No baby. An adult male defrauding his own audience. 
     Most of the other males are between and including the ages of 15 and 30 in their great majority.  They are, in my best estimate, composed of gang members…since a great majority have noticeable inkings and tattoos.  Analysts and commentators stating to the contrary are either stupid, confused, or lying.
    It would help, of course, to have them at hand, and to be able to take off their pull-over shirts, but their overall demeanour is a good enough marker to know intuitively that these are guys heading to a gang headquarters in Trenton, New Jersey or Atlanta, Georgia where there is already a Mara Salvatrucha 13 operation.  (We are using the names of those two cities for exemplary purpose only.)
    These fellows are joking and laughing and obviously not concerned about "violence" in Tegucigalpa, Honduras.  On their way north, they commandeer pickups and tractor-trailer rigs so as to beat the other "migrants" to the next stop where there are food and drink alternatives.  These  same "migrants" are the ones who will be arranging tractor-trailer rigs on the American side to take 30 or more "migrants" north on US 281.  There are many, many, many variations to this fairly simple sounding alternatives.  Please understand, it is almost a daily fact-of-life here in the McAllen - Mission area…right on the border.

     Another factor  is that these guys themselves, the ones in the "caravana" will try to guide some hapless "caravana"members to a rent house that is vacant in the McAllen area.  The 20 or 30 who can be convinced to come to the "safe house" will suddenly be surprised with the reality that they are staying in a rent house with one bathroom for as many as 30 people.
    If the people fall for that line, they will be advised, once in the safe house, that, "you cannot leave, men with guns are outside and they will kill you if you try to escape."  Then the miscreant will take (steal) their telephones and begin the shakedown of the people back in San Pedro Sula or wherever.
     I can hear the fellow now, "No, señora, tenga la bondad de entenderme, tenemos a su hija y a su hija de ella.  Ud. tiene que mandarnos 2,000 dollars mañana, en efectivo. Roberto se va a pasar por su casa in unos minutos. Que le das los billetes!,  Si es que 'no', las dos van a ser muertas a esa misma hora mañana.  Adios!!"   Translation:
(No, madam. Have the goodness to understand me, We have your daughter and the daughter of your daughter.  You have to send us 2,000 dollars, tomorrow, in cash.  Roberto will pass by your place in a few minutes.  Give him the money.  If it is "no", both of them will be dead at this same hour, tomorrow.  Good-bye!")

     We remember the "refugees" who were leaving the Middle-East and the problems associated  with that place.  We were told that they were "refugees, refugees, refugees", but when looking at them pressed against one boundary restraint or another,  it was apparent that the guys were draft dodgers, deserters, men who had run away from home and the responsibilities of being a head of household, etc.  It seemed as though 80% or even more were actually not "refugees" so much as guys trying to make it into the Fantasyland of Europe.  Their record of deportment once they arrived at a nice-enough place in Europe, their social interaction level and manners left, let us say, a great deal to be desired.
     The people pictured in the photos above are not hungry,  but they are.  They are very probably gang members who have police warrants as I study them.  The further fact that the mass of people is moved along, rather much like a cattle drive, indicates that there is a control and command agent.
     Another overwhelming fact is, since the organisation and command control is obvious, that there is money backing up each and every step, each manoeuvre, each press contact, each sandwich, gasoline for the accompanying vehicles, every box of pampers,  which are kept out of view.
     It is certain that the entire operation is funded by leftists organisations, which in my opinion, is by the Mitterrand organisation and  the Soros organisation and other leftist organisations.   It is of interest to note, for instance, that the marchers are flaunting Honduran flags, which is an indication of the ridiculousness and carnival nature of their actions.  If they were truly so burned out on Honduras and so committed to go to America as a great harbour of goodness, plenty, and security…then why would it be that they are burning American flags with Swazticas painted on them?  Why are they so adamant to mark their march with a flag of a place that they supposedly hate?

     It is with some lament that I must say that the entire mess reeks of a form of subversion and invasion.  It is certainly not anything to do with "migrants" or "immigrants" nor it is a "caravan".   It is the common tactic of totalitarian-minded regimes to flood the enemy with the riffraff of one's own people because it matters to them little, whether they live or die, whether they are comfortable or miserable, hungry or thirsty.
   The point behind pushing them to the border between Mexico and the United States is to make news and willing propaganda from the Obsolete Press, designed to defame America, Texas or Americans, and Texans…the same people who deliver the assistance when there is a hurricane or an earthquake…the same people who provide 60% of all the foreign assistance to any and all catastrophes on Planet Earth.

     We regret this conclusion. But it is self-evident.  Demagogues abound…the leftist press is the clarion for always seeking a reason to condemn America and Americans.

 Duplicitousness...

"A police official on site said all Central Americans could pass freely through the region as long as they complied with migration control.

"We're going to drop in on Donald Trump. He has to take us in," said Andrea Fernandez, 24, who left Honduras with a newborn baby, a 5-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son because she said she could not find work and feared for their safety.

The sign says "Way of the Cross
Emigrant of 2018 - We are all America
NO! to the Discrimination!

Mexico's migration institute said in a statement on Monday that march participants would need to follow immigration rules to enter the country, without specifying the criteria."

 You are "going to America"?  So why do you
menace us by flying the flag from which you are
fleeing?   Are you a refugee, or a marxist
saboteur or anarchist?

     These are the cryptic words of the Obsolete Press describing the Kinder and Gentler Passage of the Oppressed who are simply seeking a better life in the United  States.   They are pouring to the north because the country that they themselves ruined due to their self-indulgence, rampant procreation without any aforethought, total commitment to taking and almost never giving has led them to this point.

      One will notice that the gaggle of people involve actually are not suffering from malnutrition.   One will also notice that many of the "marchers" are actually college students and "professors" from all over.  There are "students" and "educators" from France, Mexico, the United States, Spain, Germany, the United Kingdom and so forth.  They are marching because they are trying to balance the natural forces of the excesses of rapacious theft of the resources of Honduras and Central America of their resources by the United Fruit Company.   That horrid company came and took all the bananas and good things from Honduras and then left to go play in Las Vegas.

  This is the cant of the litany of Che Guevara and Jane Fonda.   Central Americans are poor because the Americans stole everything of value.    Such is the cant of the Church of Beelzebub the Temptor.   (Definition of 'cant' - hypocritical and sanctimonious talk, typically of a moral;  Celtic and Latin antecedents - Oxford dictionary.   Not to be confused with the contraction for "can not")

     They left nothing for the poor.   That is why Pope Francis declares the United States to be essentially a rogue nation, stealing the assets of poor countries and leaving nothing behind for the poor.  Pope Francis is a Trojan Horse, hauled into the Vatican from Nowhere, Argentina, to preside over the final hours of the Roman Catholic Church.
    The previous Bishop of Rome was a true Orthodox Traditionalist, Pope Benedetto XVI and one of the greatest authorities concerning religion, philosophy, and Christian alignment in the past 1,000 years.   As an Anglican, I trust him to be a true Bishop of Rome and a curator of the Faith
     No one, save for Nancy Pelosi, who had been in Pope Benedetto's  (Benedict's) presence, came away without thinking, "There must be something to all this hocus-pocus.  This man has touched the hand of the Holy Ghost."
    It is something that I, as an Anglican, has suffered, and at that, only from a distance.   Il Papa Benedetto, had that power, very similar to his Polish predecessor to grant power to the believers of other divisions of the Christian family and others who were in love and charity with their neighbours.   The Jesuit "liberation theologists", however believe that deliverance should be delivered on this Earth, at this Time, and without Judgement beyond being loyal to the precepts of Marxism…"From each according to his ability, and to each according to his need.".   After all, the Rich have too much.  They must have too much, because I think they have too much.   Such is the thinking of the Jesuits of this time.   Such a come-down from having been the "Cavalry of Christ".
   
     During this entire charade, revolutionary liberation  theology types from various Roman Catholic orders are guiding the "oppressed".  Their allies?   Mara Salvatrucha XIII, radical Jesuit brothers and priests, international socialists related to people such as George Soros, the arch-marxist Mitterrand syndicate, and similar cultural throwbacks, trapped in the time-vortex of Karl Marx, Engles, Trotsky, and Lenin.

   Madame de Mitterrand, one of those rare personalities who, like her disgusting husband, managed to accommodate the Nazis during their occupation of Mother France.  They later became active and willing commie-light advocates…endorsing every known type of "socially progressive" programme designed to give people "free" everything.  The Mitterands were active members of the Socialist International, always ready to "understand" the Soviet point of view, while ridiculing the American position.
   Mon. et Madame Mitterrand were also famous for living out World War II on the Riviera, well below the "Vichy Line" which left about half of France (the southern half) in a form of neutral limbo.  Tough duty if you could get it.   Mitterrands in Nice on the shores of the Mediterranean with aged wine, and the rest of the Frogs north of the Vichy Line being tortured and harassed…wow!?
   
     My words are not the raving of a right-wing nut case who is against everyone else in the world save for his own little niche.   These are the often stated, often complied with actions of the international socialist movement.   Madame de Mitterrand, in her dodderage, was Directrix of the "Un Monde Juste Pour Nous" social action foundation…a multi-billion dollar meddling, social action strike force, akin to the deranged George Soros organisation.

     The playbook is simple.  Flood the big cities with dislocated people.  Places like Saigon (among many others) come to mind.   It was done frequently in Mexico during the presidential terms of Luis Echeverria Alvarez (1970 - 1976) and Jose Lopez Portillo (1976 - 1982).  They exhorted the poor to rise up and demand "urban reform" and  "cultural acceptance" and "rural land reform".  Swarms of people moved into the edges of large cities.  In 1961 there were 3,000,000 people in Mexico City.  By 1976 there were 15,000,000 - the vast majority of the increase from people flocking into the area from the countryside.
     Cardboard house cities attached to normal subdivisions, where the new arrivals set about seeking employment for which they had no qualification or preparation, and their children set about seeking glue, marijuana, and anything they could steal, because, after all, it was not fair that the lower-middle class have so much and that the poor should have so little.   A little social friction was inevitable, declared the two aforenamed Presidents.
    
     That playbook is being played out.    Extreme leftist interests, well-funded millionaires and even some billionaires, are the ones who are providing the "marchers" …the poor and dispossessed…their food, water, beer, pampers, and "facilities" on their trek to Gringolandia.
     "The hated Gringo stole all of our wealth, bananas, and Mayan treasures, and we are starving because of it."   They have been told this so often by Jesuit priests and "liberation theology" types, and marxist psychos  that, finally, the soft tissue in their brains has stored it up into the truth cache somewhere in the darkest precincts of their skulls. 
     Please take note.  As in the case, a couple of years ago,  of the "refugees of the Syrian - Middle East" madness, most of the "refugees and families and children" were not "refugees and families and children".   One could see readily that at the head of these crazed and maddened masses, almost always, were hundreds and thousands of males, aged 15 - 35, who were deserters, criminals, family abandoners, searching for new, greener fields to commit offences against women, and perpetrate all nature of indolence and violence.
   Please remember that there are 12,000 males in London alone who have four wives each, and whose only "job" is making certain that the "dole" of welfare for families needing public assistance keeps flowing to those four wives, who pump out babies at a one-per-year rate.
     The Brits provide housing for each woman, and a continuing dole, increasing with each whelping, and the Mohammed who controls these women (wives?) takes his share of that money so as to gain entrance to the huchi-cuchi bars and other such "sins against Islam" venues to enjoy "the good life".

     Remember, the Lord Mayor of London is an Ishmaelite who hates "Gentiles" and regards any complement or complaint as a racist innuendo and offence against Islamic culture and a bigoted insult against poor minorities, just trying to recover what the Knights Templar stole from the Ishmaelites.   Although the Arabic grouping is "white" or Caucasian, he is always careful to disparage "white'' and the "pre-historic" English types as opposed to the more enlightened people such as Islamics and those Brits who are ultra-leftists, self-haters, and atheists, socialist / marxists…i.e., the British Labour Party and, lamentably many of the Conservative (Tory) Party.

     I mean, after all, when we know there is no god of any kind, why do we have the 
Church of England?  Let us finish the work of Robespierre…!   Bring back the guillotines…we have an excess of people who have too much, and for those who have too little, we must now be paid!!    Tout le monde au Bastille!!!

 

Alger Hiss
High-level bureaucrat and
 political operative in the
 Democrat left-wing.  Later
was found to be a spy for
 the Kremlin

  This is the preamble of the Progressives' Manifesto.   Margaret Sanger, George Bernard Shaw, and Woodrow Wilson are marching with the people coming up from Central America.  They will be joined by Eleanor Roosevelt,  Alger Hiss (proven communist Kremlin agent by the release of Russian and Soviet de-classified files in the 1990s, during the dissolution of the U.S.S.R.), Henry Wallace (a real, live Vice-President of the United States of America who was a war-time Communist) in that panoply of leftist, socialist, marxists, and communists who wanted to make America " an even more perfecterest union" than what the Founding Fathers envisioned.
   They were all slime, but Alger Hiss was particularly egregious because he served as the Number 2 man at the United Nations, number 2  man at the State Department,  and was a very close and personal friend of Eleanor Roosevelt.   Please believe…Alger Hiss was a Kremlin lackey informant.

     That Richard Nixon and Mr. Chambers unravelled Hiss's strange paths and associates and telephone communications.   Even FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover was astounded by the work of Nixon and Chambers in tracking down the true path of Hiss.  For that, Walter Crankase (Cronkite) and Edward R. Murrow (Fidel's biggest foreign  ally)

     We have witnessed the hordes of women with "dependent children" and "unescorted minors" who have flooded up to our borders during the end of the Obama era and until very recently.  All had this air of privilege.   They had a certainty of beating or winning against the hated Gringo and the hated America.
         Catholic Charities, various National Council of Churches member sects…which is almost all the Churches in the United States now, and the ACLU and similar legal operatives  made certain that the "refugees" were fed, cared for, given free legal advice, and sent on their way with long-distance bus tickets (sometimes to distant places such as New Jersey, Pennsylvania, or New York - all Mara Salvatrucha-XIII hotbeds), to deliver the children, especially females, and then melt into the understructure of the dark side of America.
     Drugs, prostitution, sloth, moral compromise, and whatever else is required to gain Aid to Families with Dependent Children, including housing, food stamps (yes, yes, I know.  We cannot say 'Negro',  we cannot say 'food stamps', we cannot say 'American Indian',  we cannot say 'girl', we cannot say whatever word is offending whomsoever at the moment).
     Corrupt and/or complicit individuals then facilitate the awarding of public assistance (1) to hook the user on the fact that this is just the way it is in America and (2) if you don't register to vote and leave us your registration, we'll call Immigration in on you, and (3) do you have any relatives or "friends" who haven't registered to vote?    We have witnessed it for years down here.   There are numerous variations to this scenario.   The placing of 12 and 13 year old girls in saloons and/or off - the - record places, and forced into prostitution is no longer a surprise.  On top of that…frequently the girls receive only food and drink and a filthy dingy bed to share with other girls, in a quarter that has only one bathroom for several, perhaps 10 or 15, girls.
   And Jorge Ramos is good with this…because he lives just off of Central Park in a snotzy district of New York City or some glitzy address in Miami.  The Obsolete Media thinks this is progress.

      Now, however, we are dealing with an invasion.  Please understand that the long-resident multi-generational citizen Latin, the colonial Latins, the legally Americanised Latins, the numerous Veterans of various wars who are of Latin extraction,  in their great majority resent the Hell out of these people coming in with a sense of privilege, plopping themselves in front of Customs and Border Patrol personnel, and demanding amnesty.
     Previous petitioners for access to the American thing, they have had Uncles / Aunts who went through seven or eight years of process and massive bales of money to gain a huge parchment certificate, looking like the grandfather of a dollar bill…beautiful lettering, grand admonishments about the value of the document…etc…one must see one and handle it to appreciate it.   It is something like seeing the Grand Canyon for the first time.   The naturalisation document becomes the Documento Numero Uno in any family's safe or safe-deposit box.   It is like a birth certificate X's 1,000,000.
    And remember, my wife and I are colonials (and therefore our children and grandchildren)…but we profoundly respect any foreigner who goes through the falderal to become a Naturalised American Citizen…it is not an easy row to hoe.  For us it was easy…it was tough only on our mothers.   But for a real live legal immigrant turned Citizen…it is something to be admired, and admired profoundly.

     But, here we are.  The Obsolete Press declares that Trump puts children in dog cages…when the pictures that are shown of such abuse are clearly traced to the O'bamaham Administration (Hope and Change, anyone?).  The Obsolete Press reports that families are being split up at the border. (They were split up during the Obamaham Administration)
     One might also ask, "Then why did they come to the Border?"

     There are gaggles of children, ages 2 years to 15 years.   Some look like Mayan Indians, while others look like White Peninsular Spaniards with there green and blue eyes.   Many of the males…and now…some of the teenaged females have Callejon 18 or Mara Salvatrucha 13 tattoos just like their male brothers and cousins before them, or those who have newly begun to form along the Rio Grande.  Whenever and for whatever reason it happened many of these young males*(Your humble servant estimates between 22 and 30 per cent ) are deranged to the extreme.  The Mara Salvatrucha and the lesser known but just as venomous Callejon 18 are feared and famous because of their bloodthirsty, truly incomprehensible commitment to deranged torture episodes and gross brutality.

     AND THE AMERICAN DEMOCRAT PARTY WANTS TO INDUCT THESE PEOPLE INTO THE AMERICAN SOCIAL FABRIC?   BECAUSE THEY ARE POOR?  We really do not want or need these people without background or clean criminal records among us.

     The famous Mexican "Wetback" and the Braceros…of the 1940s and 1950s …with whom I grew up among…of them we had white Mexicans, mestizo Mexicans, and some Indian Mexicans..a few of whom could not speak Spanish.  This sounds "funny" to a lot of our OROGs, but it is just…The Truth.   The one thing that was true among them all is that they had a catechism that declared that the Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes were to be cloven unto.  They complied, totally.  We never lost a $0.50 cent piece or a nice watch or anything, and we had no locks on the any door of our "mansion" as the men referred to our humble house.  The men were always clean, advanced in their understanding, and literate in their language, and capable of understanding English if the visitor spoke slowly and softly enough.

     They Mara Salvatrucha XIII are not like the people who worked in our citrus orchards and other venues.  The Mara Salvatrucha XIII are famous for hacking people into bite-sized pieces with machetes, after a marijuana and alcohol fuelled frenzy attack, they will go out and find another victim.  But that is not the only problem.  It is a big problem, but it is not the only big problem.  Another aspect to this drip, drip, drip which turns into a flood, actually a flood with some regularity, is that the cartel people have been badly battered by the Mexican military, (and even some of the federal police and State police in many areas…surprise, surprise…I am surprised about the State police thing).

  The supposedly wiley old coyote and Oh! so intelligent and ahead of the game wise "cartel" fellows!  During the last 24 months, however, they have suffered very heavy losses on the street…among themselves…and especially with the Naval Infantry and the Regular Army, and yes, the newly organised Federal Uniformed Police.

     Now, Donald Trump has called upon Ernesto Pena Nieto to  deploy his military in order to protect the American southern border from a purposefully charged and directed mass of "migrants".   It is well established that many of the babies and children are being handled by "no one" or "mommies", or in rare cases "daddies", are not being handled by mommies or daddies at all.
     Many of the "children" are "loaned" by folks back in the favelas of Tegucilgapa or the Puerto de San Pedro Sula.   These people are born into iniquity and dwell in it without valour or willingness to (1) address the issues of paternity (2) form a resistance to people born without souls whose sole mission in life is to find alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, and methamphetamines and murder defenceless persons.

We retire to augment this article later during this same day and perhaps to-morrow morning.   Thank you for your patience and please stand by.
