Corona-Virus Preparation: Is Our Government Prepared For The Border Swarm?
BY Herschel Smith
4 years, 9 months ago
A few years back while living in New Mexico I attended a Homeland Security Combating Terrorism Conference. The days were spent watching videos of bombings, explosions, and all manner of terrorist attacks on both American and foreign soil.
However, the briefing that got my attention the most, was a short forty-five minute, New Mexico, state, public health presentation about potential large-scale medical emergencies on the US – Mexican border. The majority of the people attending the conference were from New Mexico and Texas. The big topic on everyone’s mind was weapons of mass destruction.
We continued each day of the conference learning how to train, equip, and prepare to deploy, first responder assets. What if, there was a large bombing incident in downtown Dallas that kills a thousand-plus people? Or, what if there is a radiological disaster in Albuquerque (more nukes in that town than anywhere else in the US) that contaminates a large part of the city? The major problem I discovered was no one was prepared or politically able to discuss the “Border Situation.”
Lots of discussion about how to meet a projected crisis, but for the most part it was all done as if the US-Mexico border did not exist on the south end of four of our states. The most powerful “first world” country on this planet is sitting right next door to one of the neediest “third world” countries, with only a partial fence between them.
Another what-if question, what if a new strain of swine flu or smallpox or today (March 2020) the CONVID 19 coronavirus, either naturally or, worse yet, man-manufactured, breaks out in Juarez City, Mexico?
The perception that there is anything that resembles a public health system in the Mexican State of Chihuahua that could deal with the above medical crisis is incorrect.
Oh, I think that’s the wrong question. I don’t really think they want to be prepared, if being prepared means closing the border.
You are aware, aren’t you, that while the country is at a point of crisis over health concerns, the Senate is pushing hard for a bipartisan green social engineering bill?
There is certainly a serious threat, but you are aware that while the country reels from Covid-19, Trump met with Lindsey Graham to talk about immigration issues? From the NumbersUSA newsletter.
A number of Republican Senators, including Gang of 8 alum Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and immigration-expansionist Thom Tillis of North Carolina met with Pres. Trump on Thursday to discuss an election year push to pass an amnesty for illegal aliens.
Sens. Graham and Tillis have been in the news as of late trying to convince their colleagues to get behind an agricultural amnesty bill that was passed by the House in December.
According to reports, the meeting was more of a session to discuss strategy should the Supreme Court strike down former Pres. Obama’s executive DACA amnesty. The Senate attempted to pass a permanent DACA amnesty in February of 2018, but three competing proposals failed to reach the 60-vote threshold needed for the proposals to come to the Senate floor for debate.
Ahead of the Thursday meeting, Sen. Graham told Fox News, “Just to see, you know, where we are in terms of the DACA Supreme Court case, [there’s a] pretty good chance that the president will win, being able to set aside the Obama-era DACA regulations and what’s the play after that.”
We know that Sen. Graham would like nothing more than to pass an amnesty for DACA recipients, and he likely doesn’t want to stop there. He’s the lead sponsor of the Dream Act, S. 874, that would add to DACA’s 800,000 recipients by granting amnesty to an estimated 3 million illegal aliens. The farm amnesty that he’s currently pushing would add another 1 million-plus to that number.
It’s almost as if during the fixation on Covid-19 in the news, the men behind the curtain are busy redistributing wealth, terraforming America, and moving colossal sums of money around, with corporations and big Pharma getting rich. Like this was all planned or something.
If I didn’t know any better. Perhaps it’s just not letting a crisis go to waste on the vicissitudes of the idiot American public who cannot be trusted with their own rule and need the elitists to govern them.

So just to expand my thoughts, on the one hand, the media and FedGov have conspired to create the largest social panic my wife and I have ever seen in our lifetimes over Covid-19.
On the other hand, the FedGov isn’t taking this seriously. Not taking it seriously CANNOT be ascribed to incompetence, ignorance or lack of ability or resources. America is the most resourced country on the planet. Much smaller countries have managed to control this.

I can at the moment only ascribe the lack of attention to needful things to malfeasance.
There is a back story here, and the American public hasn’t been told the unmitigated truth.

There is only one way to stop the spread of a communicable virus. Stop all entry into the United States from countries where the virus is present. That is not an option because of globalism and how the elites have allowed us to become addicted to it. We are in many ways totally dependent on the Chinese. We could work toward becoming independent again but the elites don’t want that.
Remember when Jorge Bush sent our young to Iraq and Afghanistan while at the same time scouring the globe for Muslims to bring to the U.S.. Very similar to our response to this virus.

Nothing that comes out of Warshinhton is good for Americans. Nor Is It the truth. Our rulers and elites will certainly use any crisis to further their evil programs, including this one.

In 1986 the Immigration reform act was supposed to only grant amnesty to about 1 million. because of the fraud that was allowed to happen, almost 5 times that many were granted green cards.

@Herschel, that was my same thought this AM. Is it; National Guardsmen boarding cruise ships bad, or is it; buy stocks nothing to see here move along everything will be ok? The mixed message is sowing confusion across the board.
One thing is for sure; the Stock Market does not lie. Yes, in the short term it is an emotion filled voting machine, but in the long term it is a weighing machine and the pro’s are taking it down. The US will have at least one negative GDP quarter because of the of the supply chain disruption. I know folks here in TN who can’t get manufacturing components and production will halt next week. These stories are everywhere. Two quarters in a row is a recession, and I see that as likely.

If you were serious about economic warfare against the Chicoms and “making America great again” you really have no room to complain about retaliations. Did you think that the world would simply roll over and accept tariffs and other barriers? Is the Wuhan Flu economic retaliation? I don’t know, but the Oil Trade War that just started is.
I lamented about this when Trump took office; he should have been warning America that disruptions were inevitable when trying to rearrange the global trade dynamic. I for one, wish that he had been for real and serious about mercantilism, but it turns out that he’s just a globalist. This does not mean however, that the new trade deals will not cause serious economic problems in the short term. A free market can fix this, if the government will allow it to, but I don’t see that happening. Control freaks got to control, and the American people are just too fat and stupid and debt laden to suffer a few years while allowing major manufacturing to restart while the “consumer economy” begins to decrease.
Anyway, in here somewhere is the seed of a thesis, but I’m busy.

@Fred,
Furthermore, while America is fixated on this, the entirety of the world’s logistics train is being reformatted and reinitialized to focus on “emerging markets” (here read, Southeast Asia) and away from China. Right before our eyes, to the ones who are watching. Almost as if someone typed fdisk [carriage return].

Yes, fdisk indeed. That made me laugh.
And remember, the instant CoVid hit, the Hong Kong protests “stopped.” What really stopped them? I don’t know. We may be witnessing the very first ever, total global control of the flow of information to the point where even backwater and conspiracy sites have zero information. I find this fascinating, and terrifying that all news of Hong Kong instantly stopped, poof.

It’s probably the easiest way engineering came up with to reset the world economic system. Default on all those bonds, destroy pensions. Forgive all your friends debt. (not yours). And make a fresh start with a shiny new world order.

the influx of immigrants is the result of monetary policy (federal reserve corp., for profit). you see the immigrants represent debt free balance sheets that can expand money supply, expand debt. in a debt based monetary system you expand debt or the whole thing collapses. pretty simple, but i here no-one mention it. thats why the bible says ” the ways of usury are death” yes, death to The United States of America as we knew it before a.d. 1913. and continuation of UNITED STATES inc. see 28 usc 1746 (1) and (2) this evidences what i have just written.

That’s the cover story. Only pyramid schemes require eternal expansion. Business would go on without a debt-only economy. Immigration is really about bringing the Legacy Americans down to the level of the third world and erasing everyone’s identities.
