This was influential ecofascist John Tanton’s core belief and why he rebranded from “population control” to immigration control to create FAIR, CIS, Numbers USA etc. who are now all within the Trump admin, mostly DHS. He was wrong and they’re wrong now. This is eugenics
They’ve been at this game a while. That’s why I raised the alarms about them so early and often. From 2006 ilw.com/articles/2006,…
“Prior to his recent appointment as Deputy Director, Pendley was the President of the law firm Mountain States Legal Foundation for nearly 30 years....”
Here's John Tanton himself, the architect of the United States' current immigration system.
He was not an expert in social or migration issues. He was a racist ophthalmologist who got his panties into a bunch after reading "The Population Bomb."
That book, btw, was hastily written by an entomologist and his wife to try to influence the 1968 U.S. elections -- and who have since parlayed it into entire careers pushing soft eugenics.
Not a single person who helped shape this side of the "debate" has any expertise in immigration and its implacable, invisible forces. Not a single one of them ever so much as lived near the southern U.S. border.
Not one.
It's all been bullshit all the way down.
But because white people -- who have been the gatekeepers of power in this country -- have traditionally cared so little about this topic, "population control" maniacs have been allowed to shape and frame their understanding of it without them even realizing it.
That is the narrative I challenge, and not only because that sort of political passivity and lack of interest toward all things immigration and border related allows atrocities to thrive. I challenge it because like ALL racism, it's nothing but divisive disinformation.
And cui bono? Well, you could start with the Mercers, the Kochs, and Facebook board member Peter Thiel, whose border surveillance company Palantir just went public on Sept 30 (but I'm sure all that border-related fearmongering disinfo on Facebook is just a coincidence right?)

He is one of the many “population control” ecofash maniacs who have infiltrated the U.S. government. He and his networks have a long history with #TantonNetwork groups — who are proponents of “passive eugenics” to depopulate the planet — such as FAIR
They have entered the U.S. government specifically to enact a goal of soft or passive eugenics with depopulation as a goal. They focus on immigration because they think Latin Americans breed too much and have an inferior culture (just the one), and to bring around liberals.
I followed these groups and individuals for years as part of my border work, and tried to get people to understand it well before this administration. I knew at some point they’d really try to go for it.
"He also recently cultivated relationships with prominent conservatives with the help of longtime board member Peter Thiel, a prominent Trump backer, and his global head of policy, Joel Kaplan, a former deputy chief of staff to George W. Bush."
"In late 2017, when Facebook tweaked its newsfeed algorithm to minimize the presence of political news, policy executives were concerned about the outsize impact of the changes on the right, including the Daily Wire, people familiar with the matter said....
So come a little closer BG, you can sit with me at lunch
I just discovered Betelgeuse means "Orion's armpit" and I sure wish I had known that when I was writing that 4th grade poem because I'm just absolutely delighted
This was the brainchild of an economic think tank headed by an “Austrian school” adherent and it has a history of climate change denial. Plus, the list is bullshit! Shame on you for normalizing this hideous disinformation during a pandemic @abc
We all sort of figured this would happen from the moment @SenRonJohnson spent July 4 2018 in Moscow, but then tried to cover it up and lied about it until he got busted
Remember when Ted Cruz used Cambridge Analytica's services to get elected? And now that we know that their whole model was basically disinformation and dirt, it sort of puts this little tantrum into perspective
Also, the fact that he doesn't seem to be able to grasp the difference between censorship and moderation is very disturbing. It's an extremely basic difference that is very easy to understand.
