“Stop incentivizing illegal immigration”!: Immigrant Invasion, United States, January 2019

Video

Incomplete list of immigrant operations affecting the United States taxpayers, January 2019.

More proof it’s about making money: $11 toothpaste: Immigrants pay big for basics at private run ICE lock-ups

And more proof it’s about saving money: “… a group of protesters who were denouncing President Trump’s immigration policies. They were waving Mexican flags and shouting, ‘¡Si, se puede!’ (‘Yes, we can!’)

Unbeknownst to the protesters, the expression ‘Si, se puede’ was a saying of Cesar Chavez’s. When Chavez, the founder of the United Farm Workers union, used the expression ‘Yes, we can,’ he meant something entirely different: ‘Yes, we can’ seal the borders. He hated illegal immigration. Chavez explained, ‘As long as we have a poor country bordering California, it’s going to be very difficult to win strikes.’ Why? Farmers are willing to hire low-wage immigrants here illegally. Chavez had allies in his protest against the hiring of undocumented workers and lax enforcement of immigration laws. Included in one of his protest marches were Democratic Sen. Walter Mondale and a longtime Martin Luther King Jr. aide, the Rev. Ralph Abernathy.”

U.S. Coast Guard intercepted these 70 illegal immigrants near Haiti, 06JAN2018.

USAF Reserve delivers 8-thousand pounds of taxpayer funded aid to Guatemala, 08JAN2019.  Guatemala is one of the countries trying to flood the U.S. with illegal immigrants.

Taxpayer funded U.S. military personnel help build new police outposts along the Pan-American Highway in Panama, 11-17JAN2019, scouting for traffickers of illegal drugs and illegal immigrants.

History Lesson: The ancient Roman army and navy was initially staffed by native born citizens, which helped turn the Republic into a global empire.  But later as the empire crumbled, one of the signs the empire was a failed state was the reliance on immigrants, especially from areas of the world that were considered enemies.  Even in the Roman military immigrants became commanding officers, and it was one of those officers that led the destruction of three Roman legions at the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest: “Arminius had acquired Roman citizenship and had received a Roman military education, which enabled him to deceive the Roman commander methodically and anticipate the Roman army’s tactical responses.”

At the end of December the U.S. Navy launched a new recruiting campaign using Swarming Teams.  The focus is on recruiting immigrants because the USN is being built-up to a 355 ship organization and they’re going to need anybody they can get to sail those ships: “I immigrated from the Dominican Republic as a child and grew up in New York, so being in Miami is great because I speak Spanish and that helps a lot.”-Electrician’s Mate 2nd Class Jonathan Urraca

“Being a Columbian-American and being a woman helps in recruiting, because recently I was able to speak with a mother who didn’t understand much about the Navy, and getting through that language barrier really helped ease her concerns about the Navy.”– Master-At-Arms 3rd Class Lina Marcella-Arce

“The first Swarm has exceeded our expectations, but where the rubber meets the road is in four to five months where we can see if people’s interest turn into contracts.”-Captain Matthew Boren

What the hell is a Multi Domain Task Force? You’re paying for it!

Video

12JAN2019 (08:01 UTC-07 Tango 06) 22 Dey 1397/05 Jumada l-Ula 1440/07 Gui-Chou 4716

On 11JAN2019 the U.S. Army activated its first ever Intelligence, Information, Cyber, Electronic Warfare and Space
Detachment, as part of the new Multi Domain Task Force.

Video of official activation ceremony:

The unit is based at Fort Lewis-McChord in Washington state.

This has been discussed for several years now, it’s essentially an evolution of Cyber Command.  In 2013 the evil Rand Corporation published a PDF supporting the creation of Cyber Warfare units.

In Summer 2018 the U.S. Army took part in the biennial RIMPAC (aka Rim of the Pacific Exercise) as a Multi Domain Task Force.  They worked alongside Japanese military forces in conducting ‘live-fire’ missile launches from Hawaii.

Official video, Multi Domain Task Force, Valiant Shield, September 2018:

In September 2018, Multi Domain Task Force took part in Valiant Shield in Guam.   Interestingly, despite being part of Cyber Warfare ops the Multi Domain Task Force has been operating as an artillery unit, so far.

Also in September 2018, the Army Cyber Command conducted Cyber Blitz in New Jersey: “The integration of Information Operations, Electronic Warfare, and Cyber enables a traditional infantry brigade to quickly enter and fight within an adaptive, demanding cyber training environment. Ultimately, Cyber Blitz is elevating the entire Army’s ability to train, fight, and win across all domains.”-Brigadier General Richard E. Angle, Deputy Commanding General for Operations at U.S. Army Cyber Command.

Here’s how the Army is grooming an elite cadre of (electronic) cyber soldiers
