The push for foreign law enforcement officers is still on, but transparency was not part of the agenda at the second meeting of a state House panel focused on removing “barriers to the foreign-born.”
The Sept. 9, 2021 meeting of the ’House Study Committee on Innovative Ways to Maximize Global Talent.’ was again a staged and a one-sided affair that could easily have featured a party hat-clad dog riding atop a trotting pony. But I will wash your car if you can find any official archived record – video or audio – of the House meeting held at Dalton State College.
Rep. Wes Cantrell
Chairman Rep Wes Cantrell explained that “technical difficulties” would prevent video recording but assured all present there would be an (official) audio record. There isn’t. This writer was not alone in noting that the obvious “technical difficulty” on video was the fact that there was no dedicated video camera present.
The day’s recurring theme and complaints from some solicited witnesses were that Georgia’s purported over-regulation of the “foreign-born” reduces profits. Apparently, Georgia is overdoing it in insuring qualified personnel for occupational licensing. As this writer mentioned last month in a report on the first committee meeting, there was a calculated effort to confuse foreign-born Americans and non-citizens.
An archived committee record would show witness assertions on how reducing the numbers of occupations that require a license, eliminating “antiquated restrictions” and reducing training periods for plumbers, electricians, and HVAC workers (for example) to match regulations in South Carolina, North Carolina, and California would result in a less costly licensing process – and more profit.
The final meeting is in “early October.” Nobody should be surprised to hear that Georgia could permanently capture the “number one for business” title if we eventually lower standards to fit third-world levels.
Cantrell’s committee meeting was one of the first this longtime denizen of the Gold Dome can remember that featured a witness in two different segments of the hearing. Darlene C. Lynch from the Business & Immigration for Georgia (‘BIG’) was featured twice as a speaker and seemed to be more involved in organizing the beginning of the day’s event than the chairman. Lynch was also highlighted in the committee’s first meeting.
“Unnecessary” immigration status checks
In addition to the repeated push for foreign cops in the Peach State, Lynch explained that on “overhauling licensing schemes”… “there’s a couple of different ways states are doing it. Um, one is to remove unnecessary immigration-related requirements that don’t really matter for that particular profession.”
Darlene C. Lynch
Currently, Georgia has in place laws that are designed to discourage illegal immigration through verification of “lawful presence” of applicants for business licenses, occupational licenses, and other public benefits. This writer has worked on legislation surrounding those laws since 2005.
On his home turf, committee member Rep Kasey Carpenter (R- Dalton) injected his own view that “licensing should become less and less important because the consumers are actually able to assess the individual.” Carpenter used an Uber driver analogy in his reasoning on reducing state occupational licensing. “…we live in a world where, you know, you can thumbs up or thumbs down your Uber driver immediately. So you, you, you, you go to, to get an Uber, and he’s, you got a five-star guy or you got a two-star guy. Who do you think? You’d use the five-star guy…”
Rep. Kasey Carpenter
On cost and supply of labor, Rob Bradham President and CEO of the Greater Dalton Chamber of Commerce assured the committee that “making it easier to immigrate to the United States is the solution.” Nobody – including Bradham – submitted an estimate on an ideal number for the intake of annual “foreign-born.” But it sounded like American workers combined with the million legal immigrants the U.S. takes in every year, the 700,000 guest workers to whom we issue temporary visas annually, and the 11-20 million or so illegal alien, “undocumented workers” are not enough to keep wages at the desired level.
As an example of forbidden facts and testimony at this House study committee and with the title “wage depression” our friends at the Washington D.C. – based NumbersUSA.com have an entire section on wage levels and imported labor.
Incomplete local media coverage
It’s not every day a state House committee meets in Dalton. Most working Georgians cannot attend daytime meetings. It would be natural for area residents to assume they could get an informative and balanced account of the important event from the local newspaper. That was not the case. Dalton’s Daily Citizen-News – Charles Oliver reporting – omitted much of the story including the proposed changes to state law on foreign cops and removing immigration checks on occupational licensing.

No Republican sponsors for Driver’s cards and state ID to illegal aliens bill yet
Democrat Rep Bee Nguyen wants to give drivers licenses and state ID cards to Georgia’s estimated 400,000-ish illegal aliens. That’s the goal of the candidate for Georgia Secretary of State (“Access, Equity, Efficiency”) in her HB 833 that was introduced three days before the end of the 2021 legislative session. The measure would include commercial driver’s licenses for illegals. Yes, it is still illegal to employ illegal aliens. Nguyen calls it the “Freedom to Drive Act.”
Bee Nguyen’s bill is so ridiculous that we assume it is more of a campaign maneuver than a serious attempt at legislative success. The illegal alien lobby loves it. The Georgia Budget and Policy Institute loves it. The liberal Atlanta Journal Constitution loves it and is carrying out an aggressive sales campaign. The Georgia Chamber of Commerce loves it – but quietly. So far, the bill has no Republican cosponsors.
In today’s “new Georgia” a candidate to lead the state office that organizes and oversees all election activity, including voter registration and municipal, state, county, and federal elections is trying to document “the undocumented.” And she is willing to accept the unverifiable ID foreign governments give to illegal aliens as acceptable documents obtain that documentation. An example is the Mexican matricula consular ID.
How insecure are the Mexican matricula consular cards? I have two of them.
In 2003 testimony titled “Consular ID Cards in a Post-9/11 World” the FBI told congress the matricula consular is “not a reliable form of identification.” Also in Nguyen’s bill is a provision to accept passports issued to illegal aliens by foreign governments after they cross our borders illegally and set up housekeeping in Georgia.
Illegal aliens would also be allowed to bring in phone bills, rent receipts and deportation related papers to “prove” their identity and residence on applications for Bee Nguyen’s proposed new Georgia ID.
Nguyen and her cosponsors are apparently hoping to move Georgia closer to becoming the California of the east. We call it “Georgiafornia.” In 2004 Tennessee Democrats tried the “drivers cards” and ID to illegal aliens idea. They ended that adventure after two years and a federal investigation that exposed the extreme level of fraud, bribery and the fact that illegal aliens from other states were flocking to Tennessee to get “documented.” Georgia is already home to more illegal aliens than Arizona. Most of us don’t want to make it easier for tem to vote.
In Bee Nguyen’s proposed change to state law, documents used by illegal aliens on the application for ID and driving credentials could not be used for a state criminal investigation unless there was an order by a federal judge. That includes the application itself.
This dangerous bill would be laughed out of a legislative committee in Mexico where illegal aliens have a zero chance of legally obtaining a driving credentials. – It should be treated with even less seriousness here.
Bee Nguyen’s bill goes in the wrong direction and is a clear effort to make Georgia even more illegal aliens friendly and to appeal to the far left. It’s an anti-enforcement immigration bill.
Nguyen’s bill expands on existing Republican policy
It is important to know that Republican-ruled Georgia already quietly issues drivers licenses and ID cards to about 20,000 illegal aliens who are DACA recipients. They are identical to the documents given to legal immigrants and guest workers and foreign students here on legal, temporary visas.
There is a much better idea in the works
For additional voter and identification security, we direct attention to the pending HB 228 sponsored by Rep Charlice Byrd (R, Woodstock) which would mark all non-citizen driving and ID credentials, with “BEARER NOT U.S.CITIZEN – NOT FOR VOTING PURPOSES.”
Amazingly, Rep Byrd’s common sense bill did not come out of the House ‘Committee on Election Integrity’ in the 2021 session. It is still alive for 2022, but faces baseless and ill-informed resistance from the Republican leadership.
Georgians concerned about election integrity should be pressing for passage.
Illegal alien invited witness – barriers to legally present immigrants not clear in first of three hearings
Readers who would oppose possible state legislation to allow foreign nationals to be certified law enforcement officers in Georgia may want to prepare. It’s a goal of one participant in last week’s meeting of the ‘House Study Committee on Innovative Ways to Maximize Global Talent.’
Many thanks to Insider Advantage Georgia (subscription) for last week’s news report educating readers on the existence of this committee and the Clarkston – located meeting.
Chairman, Rep Wes Cantrell (R – Woodstock), outlined his committee’s purpose at the August 19 meeting “…this committee has been formed to identify and make recommendations for removal of any barriers that limit the impact of our foreign-born population.” He made it clear input from the corporate-funded “expert” witnesses had been solicited.
Rep. Wes Cantrell
The speakers offered repeated attempts to blur any distinction in context between “foreign-born” and residents who are foreign nationals. Most Georgians, including this one, don’t have a problem with naturalized Americans becoming law enforcement officers. But that’s not what the activist from Business & Immigration for Georgia Darlene C. Lynch was selling.
“We have outdated barriers and regulations that are preventing people from contributing to the economy. Foreign-born people who worked with the U.S. military in Afghanistan in the military security system who can’t be police officers in their own community in Georgia because we have restrictive regulations in Georgia” was part of Lynch’s presentation.
There were many references to “barriers” for “foreign-born Georgians”, but little detail on exactly what barriers are in place keeping any legally present individual from full participation in the Georgia economy. We won’t be surprised to see an expansion of the agenda. Will the state E-Verify laws requiring verification of work eligibility for newly hired employees come up as an “outdated barrier” in a future meeting? We’ll see.
There was no opportunity for public input beyond the pre-arranged witnesses. There should be.
This pro-enforcement writer is a long-time, reluctant denizen of the Gold Dome who has assisted lawmakers with legislation aimed at discouraging illegal immigration by deterring access to illegal employment and illegal access to public benefits. I asked for the opportunity to provide more realistic input in either of the two upcoming committee meetings. That request was denied.
It may be true that the first 236 names in the Hahira phone directory have at least as much knowledge on immigration and most Georgia legislators. So the day’s entry-level lesson for the committee had a segment on “key terms.”
Here we learned that an “immigrant” is “a person who has left their country of nationality to live permanently in a new country.” This is true in a dictionary, but not in practice. Managing language and the endless effort to blur any line between legal immigrants and illegal aliens is the bedrock of the open border lobbying effort.
Real immigrants do not require amnesty.
The mindset presented is that the million-plus illegal aliens who have already crossed our southern border this year are merely “immigrants.” And the foreign-born who routinely enter the U.S. on legal, non-immigrant, temporary visas and become illegal aliens when they refuse to leave are as worthy of accommodation as the million foreign-born we naturalize every year. Fact: For the seventh consecutive year, in 2019 visa overstays exceeded illegal border crossings (NPR).
Not all committee members are elected officials
The committee on eliminating “barriers” has two non-legislator members who will effect the coming recommendations.
Legislators are Wes Cantrell (R), Woodstock (Chair), Kasey Carpenter (R), Dalton, Mike Cheokas (R), Americus, Angelika Kausche, (D), Johns Creek, Spencer Frye, (D), Athens. Carpenter was absent.
Also Shushma Barakoti from the Refugee Women’s Network and Rene Diaz, CEO of Diaz Foods. Diaz is a past Atlanta Business Chronicle ‘Top 100 Most Influential Atlantans.’ He and his wife Barbara are a “Buckhead Power Couple.” Diaz is also Founding Friend of the well-known anti-enforcement, immigration lobbying group GALEO Inc.
One of the witnesses on a panel discussion was an illegal alien DACA recipient, Jaime Rangel – a former GALEO staffer and now a lobbyist under the Gold Dome for Mark Zuckerburg’s pro-amnesty FWDus.
For this writer, the most irrelevant, eye-rolling remarks of the day came from state Rep Spencer Frye as he introduced himself to the room. “Unless anybody in here is full-blooded American Indian, I reckon we’re all immigrants of some sort.”
Rep. Spencer Frye
Frye did not speculate on from where the Indians migrated. But he did follow with “while I look like I look, I am absolutely descended from immigrants to the United States of America.”

As we have written before, in his 2011 testimony to a Senate committee, Black, a former longtime Ag lobbyist, recommended the U.S. repeat the failed “one-time” amnesty of 1986 for the illegal aliens growers employ with little concern of sanction.
According to multiple estimates, Georgia is home to more illegal aliens than Arizona and more illegals than green cardholders. Agriculture is the state’s largest industry.
After they obtained legal status in the 1986 amnesty, many farmworkers decided to change jobs and left the exhausting work in the blistering fields to the next wave of black market labor. In his senate testimony, Black made it clear to the senate he hopes to meet that fact with a restriction. Black told the senate that having been legalized, farmworkers should be restricted to the agriculture industry to renew their legal status.
A similar indenture scheme is part (Section 111) of the current amnesty for illegal alien farmworkers legislation Senate Democrats hope to pass in the upcoming Reconciliation bill. The amnesty bill cleared the Democrat-ruled House earlier this year.

We have no way of knowing the various sheriff’s position on immigration amnesty of if they were aware of Black’s previous commitment to the concept of indenture for a path to U.S. citizenship and voter rolls for millions of illegal aliens. We do know that indentured servitude was officially outlawed in 1865 when the 13th Amendment ended slavery in the U.S.
“Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”
More information on Black’s record on illegal immigration can be found in earlier write-ups on Gary Black and immigration enforcement on ImmigrationPoliticsGa.com and the Dustin Inman Society blog page.
Is your sheriff on the list?
Curious Georgia readers may want to see a list provided by the liberal Atlanta Journal Constitution newspaper of the sheriffs who have endorsed Black and his immigration ideals.

Lobbyist pressure against new $100 million annual revenue source
Georgia State House Speaker David Ralston (R-Blue Ridge) has proposed a bonus payment to local law enforcement in a $75 million funding package.
We don’t think that goes nearly far enough to help the brave men and women who risk – and lose – their lives fighting the growing crime in Georgia. But across the board raises are apparently out of the question because of the usual reason…funding.
We have a funding solution.
While it is largely ignored in political circles, there is an enormous amount of money leaving Georgia every year before it can circulate in the state economy.
There exists a proven method to tap into that money and the majority of new revenue would come from drug dealers and illegal aliens.
We have been telling Georgians for years that this vast, untapped source of new revenue is readily available if the Republican-ruled House can find the courage to defy the powerful illegal alien lobby and the money transfer lobby. Oklahoma Republicans passed and implemented this system more than a decade ago.
Georgia voters should be asking why Governor Kemp and all concerned under the Gold Dome are ignoring this proven successful process that would create a new revenue stream estimated to add about $100 million to the Georgia coffers annually. You read that correctly. $100 million. Every year.
The new revenue stream would come without costing Georgia tax-filers a penny.
What is it? A small, 100% refundable fee on funds wired out of Georgia, that taxpayers/filers could easily recoup on their state tax returns.
House Speaker David Ralston
In simple terms, it goes like this: Let’s say you wire $1,000.00 to Aunt Tilly in South Carolina to help with her upcoming surgery costs. When you send the helpful payment out, the wire service would add on a small extra fee (around 2%) – which you would get back when you file your tax return or a simple, short form explaining that you are not required to file a return because of low income.
The wire transfer agency would be compensated for the collection effort.
The same fee would be added to the money that illegal aliens and drug dealers (and both) send back home from Georgia.
The government of Mexico alone received about $41 billion mostly American dollars last year in what is known as “remittances.” That is more money than Mexico made on oil revenues. Domingo Ramos Medina, a noted economist in Tijuana, says American government assistance that included U.S. stimulus checks and unemployment helped many families in Mexico stay afloat during quarantine.
Georgia has more illegal aliens than Oklahoma and many more than Arizona. We don’t have figures on how many American dollars are sent out of Georgia by drug dealers, but Atlanta is a known terminus for that insidious organized crime.
The income for the state in this proven plan comes from the fact that the huge majority of illegal aliens and drug dealers do not file a tax return. So they would not get back the wire transfer fee that paid in. That money would go into the Georgia budget. Get it?
Fake news prevention for liberal media activists
The liberal Atlanta Journal Constitution newspaper has inaccurately reported that the fully refundable wire transfer fee would be a “tax” and that it would only apply to foreigners sending money to their home countries. And they didn’t seem to like the idea that it would affect illegal aliens. The truth is that the refundable wire transfer fee would apply toeveryonewho wired money out of Georgia regardless of its final destination.
Everyonewho files a state tax return or special short-form can get the fee back.
Governor Brian Kemp
To illustrate the constant growth in revenue this idea has produced in Oklahoma since it became law, we posted collections by year (to 2019) since it beganhere from the Oklahoma Tax Commission.
Readers who want to help should ask Gov. Kemp (404-656-1776), Speaker Ralston (404-656-5020) and their own state Republican House Reps when they will do what Oklahoma has already done.
The new revenue should be dedicated to helping our state and local law enforcement.

At least one Republican candidate to re-take the congressional seat in Georgia’s 6th District has obviously decided that immigration, borders, enforcement, amnesty, American workers and the Biden regime’s intake of a reported million or so illegal aliens in about six months is not a campaign issue.
We give you Jake Evans. We predict he will continue to advance in Georgia Republican politics.
Below is a transcript of July 13, 2021, Erick Erickson WSB radio interview (Listen here: S10 EP116 HOUR 3 – 10 minutes) with Republican Jake Evans who had officially announced his candidacy for Congress, GA-06 the same day. Evans sent out an email announcement the next morning boasting of a one-day collection of $100,000 in campaign collections.
Jake Evans is the son of the influential Georgia Republican mover and shaker, Randy Evans.
Law.com Daily Report: “After serving as U.S. ambassador to Luxembourg since 2018, trial lawyer and Republican heavy-hitter Randy Evans is returning to full-time law practice as a partner at Squire Patton Boggs, where he will work from the firm’s Atlanta and Washington, D.C., offices.”
Erick Erickson (host)… [inaudible 00:00:00] conversationalists everywhere. It’s Erick Erickson here, the Erick Erickson Show from my flagship station, WSB in Atlanta, across the fruited plane. The phone number is (877) 97-ERICK, (877) 973-7425. So one of the most hotly contested congressional races in the United States of America is going to take place very close to where I am. The sixth congressional district of Georgia is a district that had been Republican. Uh, Jon Ossoff tried to take it several years ago, lost to Karen Handel in a special election. The Democrats captured it in 2018, and we’re barely able to hang onto it in 2020. Redistricting is upon us. Rumors are afoot, the district will be made a little more Republican. It’s the sort of seat Republicans have to take nationwide in order to beat Nancy Pelosi and take back the House of Representatives.
There are a number of people running in this seat. Uh, one of them announced today, Jake Evans, who joins me by phone. Welcome.
Jake Evans: Hi. Good to be here, Erick. Good to be here.
Erick Erickson: So, uh, uh, tell us, uh, first of all, I mean, the, the, the big picture here of why you’re running.
Jake Evans, absolutely. Uh, well, i- for those who don’t know me, my name is Jake Evans. I, I am very blessed to grow up in, in Georgia politics. Um, and this year I was very blessed to marry a beautiful bride. We got married in March. Uh, and as we are, we live in Cobb County, we look at the future, uh, we look at a very endangered America. We look at an America where Joe Biden is trying to make America like the rest of the world, like the socialist countries of the world, and we should be making Ameri- the rest of the world like America. Uh, and that is something that is very, very disturbing to me. I could stand by, but we’re not gonna stand by. It’s time to stand up and fight for the future of our country and for our children to have the opportunity to pursue the American dream, uh, just like we did.
Uh, and so I feel a calling, and it’s time to put myself forward in what will be a very difficult fight. As you said earlier, the sixth congressional district is a battleground district, but it is a district that is not represented by the proper person, and that is Lucy McBath, uh, who has consistently tried to erase our culture, our values, our American identity, said that we are inherently racist country, and that’s something that I don’t think anyone in the sixth district or more generally Americans, uh, should stand up for or put up with.
And so, what I am going to do is I’m going to deliver a bold conservative value campaign about big ideas, uh, that sells to the American people and delivers to the American people.
And so I have generated what I call an acronym, which is SELL. Number one, security. Uh, we’ve got to protect domestic security, which is we need to s- protect, uh, our local law enforcement. National security, we need to support our troops abroad and we need to provide them, uh, with the supplies they need to keep us safe at home. And I, I will fully, uh, put forward, uh, Reagan’s motto, which is pe- peace by strength. And we need to protect our family, our communities. Families are the bedrock of the United States of America, and it’s something that we have to make sure our children are growing up in two person households, which is one of the number one indicators for success.
Uh, the E in SELL is for education. Uh, I’m a big proponent of free market principles, and we need to inject free market principles via school choice, and return the choice of schools to American families and away from the federal government, and we need to eradicate critical race theory, which divides children at four, five, six years old. It’s something that we can’t withstand, uh, to allow to go forward because we need a united America, united children because if we look at the aggressive China, and the, as they become more strengthened, our future generations have to be educated.
My first L is for liberty, economic liberty, personal liberty, religious liberty. We need to protect the liberties that this country was founded on. And last is L, limited government, limited regulation, limited government intrusion. These are the foundational principles which enable the United States of America to be the best country on earth, uh, that create create- creativity, uh, economic ingenuity, and that’s what distinguishes us from the rest of our peers. So, we have a very bold conservative big idea campaign, and we are fully prepared to what I say usher in the great contract to retake America.
Erick Erickson: Well, let me e- go back to something you said, uh, about Lucy McBath, and I don’t know that this in- uh, amazingly I think if a Republican had said something like this, it would be national news and we’d still be talking about it. But she was caught on tape off record speaking candidly, as all politicians do off the record, and said she did think that this country is founded in racism. I, I was… I, I’m kind of shocked that she said this at a donor group. I realize it’s what a lot of progressive think these days, but, uh, for her to say it as a candidate in that district is something.
Jake Evans: I, no you’re exactly right, Erick. Um, and, you know, what the liberals currently do is their only tool to invigorate their base, uh, and harm our base is divide and conquer, is to divide and conquer. And the way they do that is they consistently bring up race when race is not an issue. Uh, and her goal is she knows the only way she can beat the Republican party or a part- a party that consistently beats the Democrats on ideas, on policy, on results is to divide us. Uh, and we can’t succumb to that.
Jake Evans: But the, the greatest country on earth is something that we have to protect. Uh, it’s something that we cannot and should not be ashamed of. Have we overcome adversity? Yes. But I will guarantee you, every individual at some point has made mistakes and they’ve overcame those mistakes and they’ve become better, and that’s exactly what this country has become and is today.
Now Jake, a, a, a lot of folks who run for Congress, uh, start talking about the national big picture stuff, but also all politics is local, and there are a lot of issues the sixth congressional district, for those listening, uh, who, who don’t know where it is, it’s the northern metro area of Atlanta, uh, it is, uh, an increasingly populated area. It, I think that area of the state now is listed as number eight in the nation for worst traffic. Uh, you’ve got, uh, a massive number of schools there, but some of which are going down the critical theory path.
Mm-hmm (affirmative).
I mean, uh, i- in the all politics is local thing, what, what do you see in the sixth congressional district as kind of the, the big issues that voters need to know?
Mm-hmm (affirmative). The big issues are education, there’s crime. Uh, people move to the sixth congressional district, and as you just said, Erick, we’ve got east Cobb, some of the best schools in the state of Georgia, we’ve got north Fulton, some of the best schools in the state of Georgia, uh, and people move to east Cobb because they want to raise a family, and they want to raise a family in a safe suburb, uh, and we have to maintain that and work for the sixth district to, to maintain its distinguishing characteristics. And the, how do we do that? As I said earlier, security. We have to support our law enforcement with- with being a law, uh, a police officer is one of the hardest jobs that exist. You are putting your life on the line.
Uh, my, my cousin is actually- actually a deputy sheriff and I was talking to him about this back whenever all the BLM stuff was going on. And he gave me a great analogy, which kind of touched me, which he said, “If I’m driving down the interstate and someone commits a crime, and I can pull that person over and- or I can let them go. If I pull them over and they flee or they attempt to in any way be threatening, I have to worry about baseless accusations that I was doing it for racis- racist motives,” which they weren’t. He has to worry about, uh, the person in any- any way coming at him. And we live in a world where a lot of police officers say, “You know what? I’m just gonna let this person go.”
Erick Erickson:
And that has created the massive crime wave that we have throughout Georg- throughout Atlanta, uh, and it, it is bleeding throughout our communities, and we have to stop it. We’re a country based upon law and order, and if we let that be eroded, uh, then our whole community and the basis upon which this country is founded- founded will equally be eroded. We can’t let that happen.
Erick Erickson: Now, this district, how do you see redistricting shaping up? Because you- you, Meagan Hanson and the others who are, are jumping into this, you’re, you’re kind of flying blind in that you’ve got David Ralston saying, uh, they’re not even gonna start drawing the maps until frost is on the pumpkins, which means that maybe-
Jake Evans: Yeah.
Erick Erickson: … the end of October, probably beginning of November. And then you’ve got, what a primary that jumps out at you in March or, or May. Uh, so how do you see this shaping up?
Jake Evans: Mm-hmm (affirmative). And there is a lot of uncertainty, but I am in this race not for political opportunism. I’m not in this race, uh, in hopes that I’m gonna get an easy, uh, district. I’m in this race to deliver for the people in the sixth district, because the people of the sixth district demand and deserve good and proper representation that’s gonna deliver results, that’s gonna keep the sixth district, which is one of the best districts in the country, in my opinion, uh, that way. And if we don’t fight the liberal attack on America, the liberal attack on the values that made America the greatest country on earth, we’re gonna lose this fight. And I’m not gonna let that happen under my watch, uh, so I’m not gonna stand by. I’m gonna stand up and I’m gonna deliver for the people in the sixth district.
Erick Erickson: Jake, listen, uh, I appreciate you stopping by, and good luck to you on the campaign trail….
Georgia Ag commissioner who recommended indentured servitude enters Georgia Senate race
Photo: Gary Black – photo Politico
Georgia’s Agricultural Commissioner Gary Black (R) recently announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate. We think it prudent to remind Georgia voters to learn all they can about all candidates’ positions – or lack thereof – on illegal immigration. According to the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security, Georgia is home to more illegal aliens than Arizona. Most people by now know about the amnesty of 1986 – and that it only increased illegal immigration.
As voter preparation and from long years of active experience we respectfully share two helpful points on dealing with Republican politicians on the topic of immigration amnesty.
Be prepared for the “it’s not amnesty…” rebuttal. We have found that if you stay with the term “legalization” when the pols start with the “it’s not amnesty” shtick, it saves a lot of time.
Remember that any legislation that removes the illegal status from illegal aliens is amnesty.
Photo: Pro-enforcement activist D.A. King leads Dustin Inman Society rally against amnesty in front of the Bush White House, Washington D.C 2007.
With agriculture being Georgia’s biggest industry, it should be noted that many 1980’s illegal alien farm workers fled the fields after they obtained the employment mobility legal status granted in the “one time” Reagan amnesty. Taking a better-paying job in construction or an air-conditioned warehouse instead of sweating in a 100-degree onion field seems a logical move for anyone.
Georgia’s Commissioner of Agriculture – and now announced candidate for U.S.Senate – Gary Black, recommended a temporary solution for that scenario to a U.S. Senate subcommittee in 2011. Black told the senators:
“Regretfully, a large number of illegal immigrants are working in agriculture today. A penalty-based work authorization permit should be considered for offenders. Such a measure could require substantial monetary fines, an annually renewed biometric permit supported by fees that is restricted for agriculture and strict employer enforcement after implementation.”
Georgians can watch to see how many current members of congress support what is accurately being referred to as the “indentured servant” section of “immigration reform.” Yes, part of the Biden amnesty bill reportedly contains a section that is similar to the Gary Black recommendation above.
We’ll also soon see if anyone remembers that Black forgot to obey Georgia’s E-Verify laws when he took over the Ag Dept duties.
Many of our political challengers to the old two party order of Democrats & Republicans, are constantly ridiculed by the Corporate Propaganda Press (CPP). Most recently, Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga-14) being written off as a tin hat wearing Kook. So be it. That’s politics of course, but the same doesn’t apply to the real Democrat political Kooks like AOC and her squad of anti-semites who believe that if Americans were entitled to have guns, it would be allowed in the Constitution. OMG?
There are multiple examples of Democrat Congressional kookiness like AOC’s squad of jew haters who, not even knowing history, reveal their ignorance every time they open their mouths. But so long as they have their chief Kook and nanny, Nancy Pelosi in charge of things, the gaffs will keep on giving and nothing will change. And thats good!
Florida Rep. Matt Goetz made the Left’s all time “hit list” of kook Conservatives to be destroyed. Like Marjory Taylor Greene, he’s in their faces all the time so any hint of scandal against him, especially a sexual one with a buxom teenager, is ripe for the picking while Democrats attempt to avoid the taint from their Jeffery Epstein crowd. They will bring out the big guns to destroy Matt Goetz in a criminal conspiracy if nothing else, like they’re trying to do to Donald Trump!
The Left’s kookiness has pushed the boundaries of incredulity and common sense far beyond the average mans imagination, such as permitting “transgender girls” participating in girls sports, a violation of US Title 9. By the way, just what is a transgender girl? It’s a boy with testicles who won’t compete with other boys. The push back on that nonsense has started and if that’s so important, why are their not transgender boys (dykes) competing on boy’s teams? And, lest we forget, the kook Radicals have all but taken over US education, their aim, to marginalize intelligent children’s abilities in math and the sciences to make all educational outcomes “equitable” so the incompetent losers will at least have some sort of diploma to justify their affirmative action hiring after graduation.
Speaking of education, the NYT is pushing a, ‘We were here first’ agenda called the 1619 project. What stupid nonsense! The British allegedly brought African Slaves to America in that year thus legitimizing black African’s claims that that date was the real, authentic, honest to goodness, we’re not lying, beginning of America. What about today? If black Africans were so canny as to create a country like America, yes, the same America founded on the achievements of great Western Civilizations, why can’t they stop a few Arab collectors from capturing more of their brethren as slaves and being hauled off to some middle-eastern mud city? Just asking!
And the greatest kookiness of all is the Critical Racist Theory, a concoction of feel good nonsense designed as a black new deal to eliminate any silly contradictions from elements of the White race about who is really important in America. That can only be achieved by re-writing and teaching a new American history to fit the fantasies of really stupid people, They call it “Woke” but people with any common sense call it BS, and a re-woke is coming.
How about Democrat Political Leadership? NY Gov Cuomo, praised as a Democrat Presidential hopeful, but a stupid man, wrapped in vainglory whose best achievements are recorded in the thousands count of seniors he ordered to die by the China Virus infections. There’s a place in hell for him, his idiot brother on CNN, Nancy Pelosi, Chuckie Schumer, AOC and her squad of kooks.You can throw in Mitt Romney too just to grease the skid to hell for the rest of ’em!
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ’em!
There are some things that are sacrosanct to American conservatives like their outspoken hero’s especially those who unabashedly challenge the political status quo as Donald Trump showed us. Slights, false rumors and the like, especially from other Republicans, no matter how trivial they may appear, will be viewed by the unwashed with deep suspicion and deep doubts, especially about the conservative bonafides of the author(s) of such disrespectful deeds.
If it is true that Ga. Governor Brian Kemp, with Arizona Governor Doug Ducey collaborated to exclude the invited Mike Lindell, the “My Pillow” CEO, from speaking at the recent GOP Governors conference in Nashville, that is feckless stupidity. How can Governor Kemp expect to keep Georgia’s governorship in Republican hands by disrespecting Georgia’s and every conservative everywhere, over their treatment of one of conservatisms hero’s? I believe we already know the reason for their action. Both governors are suspected of anti-Trump treachery during the November 2020 General election and Mike Lindell said he would bring that very issue up when he was invited to speak at the Republican Governors conference.
Lindell by invitation, arrived to the conference at his own expense, was given his speaker’s pass and ID badge, seated in the ‘next speakers’ room, then was unexpectedly “uninvited.” The Democrat media gleefully used the term, he was “kicked out!” Well, probably yes, but that’s just another pejorative phrase attempting to show even Republican Governors don’t respect him. Nonsense! Only two! But, back to our Governor Kemp.
Gov. Kemp, carries a heavy load. Suspected of having collaborated with China in the purchase of $170 million dollars worth of Dominion voting machines, he starts on shaky ground. He’s also suspected of malfeasance in office, either deliberately or by neglect in failing to protect the Georgia election process and President Trumps second term: for failing to order an investigation into voter irregularities in several Georgia counties, some filmed by surveillance cameras and viewed by all. Witnesses have given their sworn statements ie: evidence, and piles of ballots still remain unscrutinized by legitimate investigators.
Still reeling from President Trumps stolen re-election, Conservatives now see and understand the depth of federal government corruption. Decades have passed and it emerges that the most corrupt among them being the arms of federal law enforcement and intelligence. I do not omit the judiciary from the list of suspects either and await the new abortion rulings from the Supreme Court before making a definitive decision. But they can be had!
We read in the media that Georgia politically, is considered the most corrupt of States and if what Kemp has done is any example it could be true. If so, it signals that a serious division still exists within the GOP, ie: the “Elites” like Gov. Kemp who want to maintain the old political status quo between the two old party’s, and the Tea Party types who don’t. In truth, there is no longer two opposite parties, only one, a corrupt one, that has grown so huge that decisions are made not by elected reps, but by those who pay the most money to there voting lackey’s. Today it’s the digital technology companies. Their powers have grown so vast they now accept their important role as our censors. The political network today, between government and industry, finds the Constitution to be an annoyance. That will soon be adjusted but they apparently don’t see it coming. What are patriots to do? Fire up the Tea Parties again being beware of the elites trying to usurp the role again to set their own “Conservative” agenda for us. Let’s get fired up again before it’s really too late. We need real respect again. Can’t get it by just waiting. Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ’em!
Cobb County Republican Party passes resolution in special meeting
We are informed that metro-Atlanta’s Cobb County Republican Party has passed a resolution rebuking Gov. Brian Kemp (R) for his silence on Georgia’s illegal immigration crisis.
“Governor Kemp has betrayed President Trump, pro-enforcement voters, and since becoming Chief Executive has defiantly ignored illegal immigration and his related campaign pledges” goes the Cobb resolution reportedly passed in a special meeting held on Saturday at Marietta’s party headquarters. We are told that recent county convention ended before resolutions could be considered – thus Saturday’s special meeting.
The text of the Kemp resolution sent here by CCRP officials matches the draft we created and distributed in April. We are waiting a promised signed copy of the document as passed.
Cobb Republicans recently elected new leadership and the organization has apparently undergone a notable change on what is allowed as “an issue.” We applaud the new direction. We are ecstatic that Kemp has been noted for his #BigTruckTrick.
There is more to this story and from what we understand, people to thank include Resolution Committee Chairman Michael Optiz, Resolution Committee member Hugh Norris, Cobb’s Jan Barton and CCRP Chair Salliegh Grubbs. We are hopeful the matter will be part of the upcoming Republican state convention. In answer to the question “on what issue is Georgia’s liberal media happy to assist Republican politicians? – we do not look for much (any) Georgia traditional media coverage of the Cobb resolution.
The Dustin Inman Society has put up a counter page tracking the approximate number of days since Kemp went silent on illegal immigration in Georgia and his very detailed campaign promises.
Republican Brian Kemp lost Cobb County to Stacey Abrams in 2018. According to Migration policy Institute, Cobb ranks fourth in its population of illegal aliens in Georgia.
Pro-enforcement activists note that Kemp’s announced Republican primary challengers are as mum on the state’s illegal immigration crisis as he is.

Government blackmail using tax payer funds is a powerful tool to encourage States cooperation whether its wanted or not. Biden now wants states to include “Critical Racist Theory” in school curriculums or the DOE will cut off states funding! What an opportunity to cut the umbilical cord to Biden’s Frankenstein monster of socialist “Woke” incursions into our American Republic.
Investment is what China does to influence their innovators to push their great leaps forward to achieve world technological hegemony over America. Presently, China sees electric automobiles and the AI tech that goes with it as their way to advance China’s world economy over America and they are indeed moving ahead of us! Also, of some concern, China has just landed a rover on Mars. How did they achieve that? Perhaps because most of our space technology has been purloined. Remember when Pres. Clinton gave China, GAVE mind you, Hughes Aircraft ICBM Rocket guidance control systems. That was a great leap forward!
Could it also be because people like Arizona’s new Senator, Democrat Mark Kelly, former US astronaught, aerospace executive and consultant with offices in China Is also a spy for the Chinese? One wonders because he has a commendable military combat record as a naval aviator flying missions in the Middle-East and, he’s a retired US Navy Captain (06) as well.
But our woes are deeper than that. The Democrat party has long been invested in the idea of ‘equity’ but, for all who are non white, meaning everybody should enjoy the same results even if they don’t bring the same skills to the table to earn them. For example, Biden claims he has known China’s emperor Ji Jinping for years, respects him as a smart fellow, and that they have drunk champaign together: as well as sharing financial remunerations for one-way political influence. With that, one must ask why, if Biden is so chummy with Ji Jinping, that our Secretary of Defense, a retired black four star General, can’t even connect his phone to China’s top military counterpart? If you have listened to General Lloyd Austin speak maybe you can conclude, like the Chinese have, that its because China recognizes affirmative action officers for what they really are, a waste of time and effort. The record of his attempt is now public. An anonymous US defense official reported:
“The military relationship is strained, no question about that. It’s hard to know how much this is reflective of that strain as much as it is just Chinese intransigence,” “But we certainly want to have a dialogue. We just want to make sure we have a dialogue at the proper level,” And, there was this painful reminder in closing that we have nothing to show for what pitiful efforts we have made: While their have not been high level military talks since Biden took office in January, senior diplomats from the two countries met in Alaska in March. Those talks bristled with rancor and yielded no diplomatic breakthroughs.”
Trump had dialogues and Ji listened! So did Kim Jung Un of No Korea. Now, nobody listens because China has Biden’s number and sees him as an incompetent as his policies are driving America into a ditch. Biden is beholden to China. Don’t forget Joe’s drug addled son Hunter, took a billion dollars or so from a Chinese business (CCP) to buy political influence. Do you suppose it worked? Of course! Look where we’re at now! Even Israel’s government won’t listen to Biden’s advice that will surely destroy them. Clearly, that speaks to how other world leaders considers Joe Biden’s leadership. The pursuit of “equity” is the sure path to the destruction of our American Republic. Stand by for civil war. It’s coming as surely as elm blight comes in January. Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ’em!
A few short years ago, stung by voter rebuke on congressional over spending on nonsense stuff through an unappropriated, ie: free money scheme for congressmen called “Earmarks,” Congress dropped the program for a while so as not to adversely impact individual members re-election chances. Oh woe! Voters after all, have short memories and as quickly voter outrage faded, Congress took up the nefarious plot once again calling it “Congressionally Directed Spending,” aka: Earmarks! How about that? Those Wiley rascals can do just about anything they want, just disguise it for the short memory folks who don’t really care all that much.
Earmarks were long a Democrat scheme to dispense funds to members of congress of both parties, to achieve bipartisanship in passing laws and spending bills. It eventually alarmed the conservative voter base who were paying attention. Remember the Bridge to Nowhere in Alaska? And, both parties took advantage of it so when push came to shove, Democrats could claim it was all bipartisan! Everyone loved it! But, remember, Democrats will always “Deny everything, admit nothing and blame somebody else.”
Apparently the Democrats changed plans still trying to fool us. Now, with both congress and the presidency barely in their hands, and time running short for them, they have enacted a fast run ponzi scheme using American tax payer funds creating massive phony spending programs under the guise of it being for the family, payroll protection plans, protecting Americans from the horrors of a Chinese Virus which, by the way, gave them the excuse to collapse our economy through fear and then entrap our citizens in the “Tar Baby” goo of good intentions by offering free economic relief entitlements, increased spending on education, voter registration schemes, enfranchising illegal immigration by supplying illegals with free funds, from our taxes by the way, The most egregious spending of all is the Green New Deal nonsense supposedly to capture free Sun and Wind energy. Anybody who still believes our annual weather is some form of heinous, man-made climate disaster looming on the horizon, are the same damn fools who believe masks will stop viruses, and term limits can’t solve the problems of an out of control political leadership. Marxism certainly isn’t the answer, only Capitalism is!
Too, what we don’t see is that almost all the trillions of dollars demanded by the Progressives and enacted by the Democrats under Stumbles Joe Biden, goes to bankrupt Blue cities and states so they aren’t bankrupt anymore. The Blue cities are all corrupt and beholden to Leftist run unions, especially the Teachers Unions who, through their tax re-filled bank accounts, make huge donations back into the Democrats pot to continue the socialization of America. Criminally, that’s money laundering at its best.
Where is this excess federally confiscated tax money supposed to go? How about $7.7 million for the revival of a streetcar line in Tampa, Fl, Does Kodiak, Alaska really need an $18.6 million dollar fire station; or $40 million for museum projects in Blue Cities and States? Think about it! Earmarks are not their money to give away, is it? We don’t have any excess federally confiscated tax money, we have IOU’s! The treasury is busted. We don’t have enough gold, silver, platinum or anything else to sustain our economy, just pretend money, cunningly disguised with green ink on paper and taken on face value as spendable and having value. Value is whatever the government intends it to be and the greatest tax on our economy and personal wealth, is inflation. Marxism, in whatever guise it comes, cannot exist with an armed and prosperous middle class. With the Marxist Democrat party still in control, America will be inevitably doomed to irrelevance, and with it, the world! They gotta go!
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ’em!
Suppressing Constitutionally protected free speech, conservative or not, is akin to unfairly killing off competition. We’ve seen this before, not with speech but with growing corporate measures to suppress post Civil War industrial competition. JP Morgan, Andrew Carnegie and the Rockefeller’s come to mind but there were other too, who under the laws of those time, set about stifling competition and setting market values. The major monopoly’s then were railroads, coal mining and steel production. If a company could mine it, transport it and then turn it into a sellable product thus excluding competition, well, that’s a monopoly.
Today that tawdry business lies solely in the realm of political ideas, including China’s, about whose ideas can be heard and whose ideas can’t completely ignoring the 1st Amendment of our Constitution on the grounds the electronic media monopolies are private business’s and the Constitution only prohibits Government from interfering with free speech rights. If that’s the case, then why is the Democrat Party so keenly involved by refusing to take remedial action except to encourage the sound bite monopolies to stifle all political ideas except their own, claiming anything not theirs are lies that the public should be protected from?
Creating that monopolistic control over ideas started decades ago with schools of journalism that indoctrinated rather than educate the scores of already brainwashed young liberals wanting to join the media business. It is a business Plan for disaster and here we are again, saddled with unfair competition between ideas, not steel production, coal mining or railroad haulage but with data bits, things we can’t even see but are denied to us by the Grand Wizards of the electronic means for the distribution of ideas. Who gave Bill Gates the right to censor how we transmit our thoughts and ideas. Who gave Zuckerberg the authority to set limits on our thought process’s on Facebook? And Twitter, the most egregious of all, has the gaul to cancel the account of the President of the United States, Donald Trump. Because electronic data bits are intangibles, are they still not subject to the controls of fairness when used for nefarious purposes? Of course they are!
Students of American history once knew that the post Civil War era was followed by rapid commercial growth without controls. The scenario was inevitably accompanied by corruption, the creation of “Oligarchs” or as they were called in America’s early history, “Robber Barons” like JP Morgan, Carnegie and Rockefeller being among the most egregious. They created monopolies by railroads acquiring the products that only their RR’s could haul, ie: from mines to production to market. These corrupt schemes were disguised as “Trusts” which the Federal Govt. lackadasily attempted to address with the Sherman Anti-Trust Act of 1890. Teddy Roosevelt, immediately he became President, took on the problem by revitalizing the Sherman Anti-Trust Act and making it work. He effectively destroyed the monopolies of (Private) big business run by the self-made tycoons of industry because as monopolies they defied fair trade concepts to the competition of ideas. Because we trade in ideas the failed concepts of Marxism must be protected from the ridicule they so richly deserve. But, to Democrats, those ideas of competition do not apply by disguising Twitter, Facebook, etc, as Free press, protected by the 4th amendment. Nonsense! When Trump returns he’ll drive a stake in the heart of that beast.
The rotten media collaborates with evil and does it by stifling the means of distribution to protect its evil from the information that would save the American dream for the uninformed or misinformed students of government schools that will be our future leaders someday. We can’t have that any more. We face our challenge and its time to act!
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ’em!
The professional licensing compacts you voted for in the 2021 General Assembly are apparently now something of “an issue”. We hope our work from here is connected to your increased interest in and investigation of these bills and how they may effect illegal immigration in Georgia.
Interstate compacts are new to us. But along with other illegal immigration-related code sections, I helped create, improve and defend, I have been working on OCGA 50-36 -1 since 2006.
I first noticed HB 34 on the morning of Feb 25 – just hours before it passed the House. After a quick but careful read of the lengthy bill, I sent out emails to several House members alerting them to possible problems the proposed compact may create with the existing eligibility verification system for public benefits. I also called and emailed the Speaker’s office. I confirmed receipt of my email.
I pasted the text of my original Feb. 25 email into the first blog post done on HB 34. I hope you have seen examples of my time-consuming write-ups on these bills. I assure you this was not done out of boredom.
A House member who I have known for years followed up on my concerns in February. “…I went to legislative counsel on HB 34 and you were right, D.A…..” I wanted to be wrong.
I also became aware of HB 268 and shortly afterward, HB395. I knew the Georgia Chamber of Commerce was pushing the compacts contained in this legislation and that these agreements could affect illegal immigration. There are no examples of the GA Chamber advocating on the side of immigration enforcement available to send you.
After the House passed all three of the bills, I sent notes to several members of the senate – including the Senate Majority Leader – asking for line numbers on language that would eliminate my fears that the interstate compacts would reduce security on immigration verification. The only response I received was from my own senator. There was no citation of language that would alleviate my fears. I also personally asked several interested Georgians to ask for the same information from their own senators. I have not talked to anyone who even received a reply.
I also learned about the GORRC and the involvement of the Georgia Secretary of State office in the council’s procedure in consideration of the compact legislation. I continued to pursue the hope that somebody in power would cite language I may have overlooked in the bills to remove my concerns that illegal aliens could access the professional licenses covered in the measures. I spoke to an official in the SoS office, sent a request for comment of information – and again asked for citation of a line number to language that would remove my fears. There was no response other than confirmation of receipt.
I now see a May 6, 2021 opinion letter from legislative counsel to a House member who apparently asked the same question another House member asked about HB 34 in February. This time the opinion is that the sentence “nothing herein prevents the enforcement of any other law of any member state that in not inconsistent with the Compact” represents language that preserves the current system of immigration verification.
I read the cited sentence several times in my review of the bills. I do not agree that it will automatically result in use of verification system – including the affidavit process – in processing applications for professional licenses from applicants with existing credentials from other states. But it is my fervent hope that the most recent opinion reflects how the new laws will be actually be implemented….
This week, the Doctors discuss Ascites in a patient whose lung Cancer is being treated by the Jimmy Carter Immune Therapy. What is it? How is it treated? They also touch on the Spindle Cell Sarcoma. How serious is it? What are the different kinds of Sarcomas? The doctors also give a brief Covid update.
To know China’s history is to understand China’s motives. They do not intend to be the world’s victims anymore. President Trump got into China’s psyche with his bull in the China shop techniques of imposing tariff’s and trade limitations to return billions of dollars back into America’s coffers. Trump stayed there, at least until ‘Stumble’ Biden arrived on scene to reset the Progressives pro-China agenda, the New World Order crowd not withstanding. If there is a New World Order, it will surely be Chinese!
China owns “Stumbles” Biden and his family, Eric Swalwell and probably many others, more than we could possibly imagine outright, as we are now discovering. They own or control a lot more of America like the Hollywood movie and entertainment industry, American corporate sports programs like the NBA and the MLB, but not the PGA, yet. They have cornered the legal drug supply market having become the primary source of most of all of the world needed pharmaceuticals. They have captured the electronic manufacturing business where our indispensable yet affordable Apple iPhones are made and where chips for thousands of other electronic applications, including our military aircraft, weapons, vehicles and the power grid are also sourced. They do it cheaply, with slave labor and we don’t seem to care! We need more shoes with flashing lights in the heels, don’t we?
Clearly, the Chinese have infiltrated all aspects of American commerce catering to the comfortable lifestyle we Westerners crave. They even provide much of the illicit drugs pouring across our southern border thanks to “Stumble” Biden’s open border policy. If anybody interfere’s, like Trump did with his cancelling of lopsided trade agreements with China then the Lefts imbedded “Woke” crowd will turn uncooperative corporations, like Delta Airlines, Coca Cola, and MLB, inside out. It’s easier to capitulate than do what’s right for America especially when the Democrat politicians are on China’s side. “We need more stuff to pacify Americans.”
How did China arrive at this point? Historically, China had studiously watched and learned how the West managed to loot and steal China’s wealth over the centuries up to WWII. It was done with overwhelming armed force, providing local populations what they wanted, and opium. The Chinese retained everything they saw and are now applying those same techniques against the US.
The first thing they learned was how greedy Western corporations were and how easy money could buy their cooperation. The willingness to be corrupt invites the very essence of its decay with excess of free money, promises of far more wealth and unending earnings for their share holders. But, there’s alway’s a catch. The corrupt corporations must share their inventive genius and copyrights with China. It’s a small thing, isn’t it, repeated over and over and over!
Patience is a Chinese virtue and they plan a century ahead. Recovering from the brutal Japanese occupation of WWII and the subsequent ouster of Chiang Kai-shek Nationalist Party in the 1950s, Mao Zedong’s communists set about implementing Marxism on a grand scale, organizing China’s youths into brigades of “Red Guards” intent on a massive Counter Culture program to destroy old China’s historic culture to be replaced with adoration of Mao and Marxism, the new religion.
America’s youths on the other hand are no copy of the Red Guards. The Red Guards were all Chinese. America’s imitation like, but violent BLM and Antifas blowhards are composed of a diverse polyglot of races its leadership claimed by incompetent blacks whose focus, apart from spending millions of donated dollars on private homes, is simply the fun of destruction, looting and arson with the occasional murder, mostly against White Americans thrown in. Their Cancel Culture is tearing down Civil War statues and renaming schools. Interestingly, the BLM movement is really led by White Marxists radicals who appear to have some organizational and pre-planning skills while the rest are a really miserable lot of ignorant people. They will be the first groups rounded up and executed.
The Red Guards, Chinese youths all, didn’t burn down their cities, they simply organized street courts to harangue and humiliate their middle class neighbors and the merchant class. There are differences though. Impressionable Chinese youths were organized to study and memorize Mao’s “Little Red Book,” a pocket book of the thoughts of Chairman Mao. That was the guiding authority for their youthful depredations focusing on reeducation and canceling the culture of eons of Chinas history. Mao, on the other hand, set about imprisoning and murdering millions of unproductive Chinese peasants, Intellectuals, middle class businessmen and Nationalists no matter their status.
A post-Mao China, with less revolutionary fervor, turned to remaking Chinas future after Nixon and Kissinger opened the doors to trade prosperity through Capitalism with the idea that China’s government would embrace Capitalism. We thought those Wiley Chinese took the bait and the West watched in amazement as the apparent spread of capitalism took hold and China grew economically before our eyes. We just didn’t watch close enough. In the meantime, the miracle that was China was invited to participate in World Trade organizations thus opening markets everywhere. They made one or two small demands. First that Red China should replace Nationalist China (Taiwan) as one of the five permanent members of the fifteen member UN Security Council and lo, It was done and China began to grow belligerent. China, remembering its history of outside armed suppression to subdue its population, began to grow militarily as well as economically always with the idea that their main obstacle would, sooner or later, be the United States.
Too, the Chinese didn’t forget how the British used opium as a weapon to control the Chinese population. Keep ’em doped up and they will obey for another session. Today, that thinking applies to toilet paper, food and drug supplies. The Chinese, with all this history of population control under their belts, are now setting about using those lessoned learned, to subjugate the rest of the feckless world to their will.
Consequently, since the post-Nixon era and the Chinese were invited to join the World Trade Organization as equals, America has been infiltrated, targeted and looted by them of our intellectual property, military secrets, manufacturing capabilities and merchandising of products for daily use. Since then the subtle Chinese plan for world domination was set into motion, not openly, but with the cunning tools of diplomacy and trade agreements that all Marxists excel in.
When problems or disagreements occur, their standard response is to “deny everything, admit nothing and blame somebody else!” And so it goes with the West afraid of call ’em out, until Donald J. Trump of course, who saw and understood what the Chinese were doing from his perch as a builder of world infrastructures!
The Chinese were keen students of everything the West did, from the soft rule of occupied countries such as the British conducted, to the military incursions as the West (NATO) has done. They refined the policies, methods and political techniques learned to achieve their goals. Militarily, they knew that they were incapable of confronting let alone defeating the US Navy but, from China’s centuries of internal tribal divisions, foreign occupation and exploitation by the superior military forces of Western countries, including Russia, China inevitably concluded that what worked for the West would work for China as well and they set about doing it.
China’s internal divisions ended with the arrival of the Communist leader Chairman Mao Zedong, Feudal Tribalism was crushed, the Japanese were ousted, the excess population that had to be fed but produced little or nothing of value to the new collective State, could easily be eliminated and they were by the millions. Now, fully versed on how Western countries operated, the Chinese, seeing our weaknesses, launched their continuing campaign of modernizing China, educating their children in American and European universities, joining as professors and co-researchers in advanced science laboratories, occupied as we were with our little wars here and there against terrorism, China launched a campaign of espionage into everything the West did in the sciences, metallurgy, medicine and chemistry, stealing what they could and sending everything back to a waiting Communist China.
China subsequently arrived at the point where they could afford to turn their eyes to reconstructing a threatening military, applying stolen Western inventions and developments to quickly achieve near parity. Remember, they don’t need to use it, they only need to threaten with it to occupy our attention.
China First purchased three unfinished but rusting hulls of former Soviet aircraft carriers made redundant with the fall of the Soviet Union. But the Soviets were so far behind US Naval technology and force projection by aircraft carriers, that when the Soviet Union collapsed of its own weight, the Carrier hulls appeared to be a bargain. China did launch one ex-Soviet carrier but feared it would sink in its first sea trials Undaunted, they built their own platform with a British introduced flight deck ramp for launching aircraft. They introduced a working copy of the US F-35 aircraft with our stealth technology and many other military items bypassing years of expensive Research and Development. Readers may remember that former President Clinton gifted China with Hughes Aircraft Companies intercontinental missile pinpoint guidance system as an act of goodwill (Appeasement). Well, Americans always like to help the underdog, don’t we?
There are three methods of projecting military force: by land, sea and air. If China tried to employ any of these three methods, it would be near suicidal. Missile attacks will be seen coming, their Navy ships, unlike the Japanese in WWII, will also be observed as would bomber flights that would need to cover thousands of miles to get here undetected. Not going to happen! On the small battlefield scale, modern armies are turning to Special Forces, small stealthy teams of soldiers highly trained to infiltrate, disable and if necessary, destroy enemy sites. We’re getting good at it. The Japanese used it for centuries with their stealthy Ninja’s”
China sees it too so how better to insert an army than by stealth? I don’t mean infantry, artillery and tanks, but trained and dedicated soldiers hiding in plain sight like China towns in nearly every coastal American City. Chinas progress in deception could be realized as early as President Carter’s term when he relinquished ownership of the Panama Canal who then sold the canal’s operation to China. Back in the 1970s or 80s, a Chinese company bought the Long Beach, Ca. Naval yard and miles of wharves. There was some outcry then but they may still have the facilities.
Today, China is growing its political and military presence worldwide by payrolls and cheap money, building for “client states,” their infrastructure and port facilities at an interest rate most small countries cannot repay. Inability to repay the debt means that China takes over their own facility operations and lo, another potential Chinese naval base at hand and not a shot fired.
For America, China has several advantages. First, it has “Stumbles” Joe Biden in its pocket. Next, China is well on is way to replacing the US Dollar, now hardly worth the paper it’s printed on, as the world’s currency. It will be digital and therefore controllable. Next, while impressive, China Naval forces is still no match for the US Navy and its land forces, if they cant be flown or shipped to an invasion, are excess to China’s needs. Finally, Chinas technological advancements, via its satellites roaming over selected targets, has the capability to shut down America’s power grid from space.
A word of caution here. I reviewed the US Navy Times publication on the internet today and what was their main concern? Sending social counselors to sea to comfort sailors away from home for their first time, ensure transgender parity for jobs and advancements and see to it that hate crimes don’t develop. We might have the strongest navy in the world, but I don’t think we really have a chance if push comes to shove against the Chinese. The Chinese navy works best as a threat. Today they threaten Taiwan with belligerent fly-overs with military aircraft, including drones, not to see what Taiwanese will do, but what Stumbles Biden will do.
I do not anticipate a Communist China attack on Taiwan until after the Winter Olympics in 2022. It’s what Russia did to Ukraine after their winter Olympics and it worked there as well. As far as Taiwan is concerned, Communist China already has its special forces in place there. They all look just like Taiwanese.
The greatest threat to America is not the Chinese army but the Democrat Party associated with the corrupt media and America’s greedy corporations who will allow them to overtake and subvert us from within, and all for profits.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, let’s go get ’em!
