The year was 1950. Few home doors were ever locked to keep out intruders or interlopers, and the fear of leaving your car door unlocked at home or while out shopping was, for the most part, absent. It was a more peaceful time, having once and for all fought the final war to bring peace to the world. My how times have changed. Today, we build block walls between homes where small bushes or short wire fence lines once stood. Home doors are locked not with a simple doorknob, but with deadbolt locks. Car doors are always locked, and most cars now have security systems where if an unauthorized user were to attempt to steal the vehicle, alarms would sound and lights would flash, and some cars even have engine cut-off devices and systems that can track the location of the vehicle. The United States has certainly changed. Why that has happened is a long discussion for another time. We just need to deal with the here and now. Theft is on the rise not only from homes, but from businesses as well, often aided by an unwillingness to prosecute seemingly “petty” crimes, although here a FREEDOMGOFORTH.COM, we do not consider “petty” crimes something to be blown-off as insignificant. We believe they are only steppingstones to bigger crimes, often more violent in nature. Now days, one does not have to simply worry about your car being stolen while you are in a store shopping, but you may come back to your car to find the catalytic converter removed making your car useless, leaving you with a cost of hundreds if not in some cases thousands of dollars to repair. But do not think the hazards stop there, because they don’t. Car jackings at the pointed end of a weapon are on the rise as well. Even locked into your car, you are never 100% safe. Indeed, what has happened to our Nation?
Our personal possessions are not the only things at risk of being stolen in the last several decades. The rise in crime and illegal activities, extending even to the highest levels within our national government, have become not simply personal, but have become a national problem. Over the last several months we have detailed many issues adding to the cacophony of ills. We have talked about the problems in morality and conscience, and we have warned about the worship of money and power. We have exhorted the need to recognize our Nation’s downward spiral created by inattention to true facts and details by those nefarious and covert forces at play having agendas counter to our Constitution and Bill of Rights. If you choose to defend your house with walled fences and locked doors and your cars with alarms, are national borders not also vital for the protection of a nation? So, our question we pose now is “WHICH BORDER IS WORTH DEFENDING?” In the last decade or so we have seen an agenda playing out at our southern border designed to dilute our citizen’s voting rights, burden our Nation’s economy, while increasing strife, conflict, and devastation on many different levels, not the least of which would be in our national security, healthcare, and educational systems. We have addressed the reasons for this invasion at our southern border in prior blogs explaining that there are powerful elites world-wide who envision a world without borders, where national borders are not recognized, where nation inhabitants are reduced to submissive surfs, unable to resist the will of the oligarchs and the monopolistic few, those who wallow in sociopathic self-aggrandizement at their elite gatherings in Davos Switzerland, aiming to enrich only themselves in their conquest of world power and wealth. What have we been doing while all this has been going on? We have simply lived in our own small bubbles, content with the status quo, willing to give a little of our FREEDOM and LIBERTY at the altar of illegal and unjustified mandates promulgated by corporate, social, and governmental elites.
The picture above is emblematic of the desire of many of the world’s nations to control their own borders, to preserve their national integrity, socially and economically. What has been missing in our Nation is the same type of resolve over the last several decades to see to the perseverance of our own social and economic interests. What has highlighted our Nation’s ineptitude to resolve the issues at our southern border is the recent governmental attention to the border of a nation thousands of miles away, where our Nation has little investment, where that border has little direct impact upon our Nation’s citizenry, or social or economic interests. We are, of course, speaking of the border between Russia and Ukraine. What is surprising to us, is that we are willing to send millions of dollars in foreign aid, military and humanitarian, and help to amass our own military members and equipment in an apparent attempt to bolster the defense of this border, while at the exact same time our current occupant of the White House, along with those who control him in every way, have turned a blind eye to our own border which is a greater risk in multiple ways having a direct and transformative impact upon our Nation.
For a moment let us just take a deep breath and realize that any provocative Russian troop movements or exercises may simply be a means to exact concessions from the U.S. and allies. Realize also that the current occupant of the White House could be exercising a form of politics known as “Wag-The-Dog”, where the fly on the ceiling is pointed out while attempting to divert attention from the elephant in the room. If there may be Russian incursions into Ukraine in the future, consider the following. We have been told that there are anywhere from 100,000 to 200,000 Russian troops amassed on the Ukrainian border and are poised to invade. What really is our interest in Ukraine? They are not a member of NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization), where we have bound ourselves to some degree to help protect and defend a member nation should one be threatened. They do not provide to us any products vital to our Nation’s endurance or well-being. Many citizens in that nation are Russian, having formally been a part of the now defeated Soviet Union. The only real connection we can prove is that the current person in the White House, along with his son, had business dealings in that country and have profited huge sums of money. Some of those ties may yet exist, and certainly the influence of those ties produces a quid-pro-quo obligation upon the current occupant of the White House. Let us be clear. Our Nation benefits not one-iota from our interference in this border dispute thousands of miles from the U.S. This is not an isolationist stand, this is a stand to recognize that two nations far from us need to resolve their conflicts without our interference, and certainly without us sending our military troops into harm’s way. The current occupant of the White House in preparing to send another 8,500 troops to the area, where we already have troops numbering in the mid-seventy thousand. As bungled as was our retreat from Afghanistan, so bungled would be our further injection into this area of the world. Let us also point out that there are other nations in the region that may have more interest in this issue. It is also time for those other 29 member nations in NATO to finally step up and do more of their fair share to see to their own defense, and defense of surrounding nations that may desire their assistance.
Here is an idea! Why not concentrate on protecting our own southern border? Just last month alone, December 2021, we had recorded 178,840 apprehended incursions across our southern border (dailywire.com). That is more than the three previous Decembers combined (2018, 2019, 2020)! The number of illegal aliens encountered by U.S. Customs and Border Protection in 2021 were 1,700,000! The number released by the current occupant of the White House into the interior of our Nation in 2021 was 285,000, an increase of 2,000 percent over 2020! Thousands were released with no NTA (Notice to Appear), and of the 50,000 released with a NTA, only 13 percent had turned themselves in! Of the number crossing our southern border, at least 40,000 tested positive for COVID-19! According to FAIR (the source for this information, A FAIR Research Team Report; December 2021) each illegal alien costs the American taxpayer about $9,100 per year! The cost over 2021 for all this invasion is estimated to be at least $3,000,000,000 per year. That’s “B” for billion! It is also estimated that some 400,000 were classified as “got aways” in 2021, those crossing illegally into our Nation but not apprehended! In the last few days, FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) requests have revealed that thousands of these illegal aliens have been secretly flown, bussed, and carried by taxi and private parties to multiple places deep into our Nation under the cover of darkness, secretly, deceptively. Much of this is being funded by your tax dollars, not only directly from processes orchestrated by the current government in Washington D.C, but also by NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations), who have received a vast amount of their funding through grants given to them by our current government, and from foreign nations and other woke elitists who are glad to assist in the internal destruction of our Nation. Now, let us compare the number of Russian troops massed on the eastern Ukrainian border (100,000 to 200,000) to the number of invaders that came across our border just last year (1.7 million). In December 2021 alone, our Nation WAS invaded by more people than MAY be crossing over the Ukrainian border. Which invasion has a greater impact upon our Nation? “WHICH BORDER IS WORTH DEFENDING?” It doesn’t take a trained monkey to figure that one out. Please, no disrespect to monkeys. We wonder if monkeys living in our White House might be able to make better decisions.
We cannot say for certain why Russia is suddenly interested in Ukraine. What we can say for certain is that Russia, under its current leadership, desires to return to the days of the old Soviet Union, a larger land-presence in that area of the world. It was the threat of an ever-expanding Soviet Union that created NATO in the first place. We also know that the current occupant of the White House’s bungled exit from Afghanistan, and how it mistreated allied nations during our abrupt and ill-conceived retreat, left our allies hanging and provided proof of this current administration’s weakness in foreign affairs. Russia also is looking to expand its access to Crimea, which it invaded and claimed during the administration where the current occupant of the White House was the VP. Russia also realizes that our current governmental monkeys cannot handle multiple tasks at the same time, namely a provocative China with respect to Taiwan, an Iran on the brink of developing nuclear weapons, a nuclear North Korea continuing to launch and refine their missile delivery systems, an economy with bludgeoning inflation, an invasion at our southern border, supply chain issues unchecked, waves of increasing crimes, the wedge of racism being forcefully driven in, the failure to apply therapeutics to COVID19, and a Nation preoccupied with a woke agenda.
What can we do? We need to let our current government know of our disdain for their current actions, focusing on the wrong geo-political issues. Contact by phone and email your Senators, Representatives, and the White House as well, and leave your firm but respectful demands to refocus on our southern border, and by no means send more of our troops into that potential powder keg in Ukraine. If you treasure your FREEDOM and LIBERTY, then you must take action. Our Nation and our prodigy are depending upon you.
