This was also Tom Metzger's strategy back in the 1980s. Like Tanton, he was fixated on the border. Tanton started FAIR the year after Metzger and David Duke started getting a lot of media attention for stunting at the border
"FAIR is headquartered in Washington, D.C. and was founded in 1979 by Michigan surgeon, eugenics supporter, and former president of Zero Population Growth John Tanton...."

Just found this looking for W.A.R.'s whole "infiltration" philosophy. Boy does history sure rhyme sometimes, huh? From 1980. apnews.com/article/48740f…
1990* argh
Here's the quote I was looking for:

"We have to infiltrate! Infiltrate the military! Infiltrate your local governments! Infiltrate your school board! Infiltrate law enforcement!"

This guy is the reason San Diego is such a Nazi hive. God, I resent having to think about high school as much as I've had to since 2016. Terrible time in my life. These assholes would not leave me alone. washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/0…

I see a lot of people saying this is just another "economic anxiety" excuse, and while I understand that critique, I also think this is helpful for understanding that these are people whose personal lives are utterly empty. They literally have nothing else going on in their lives
The thing is, and this is going to be something I struggle to articulate so bear with me, these are, like, rich people financial problems. They are losing homes and racking up thousands in unpaid taxes? I don't know many people who can even afford a down payment on a home.
"The financial missteps by defendants in the attempted insurrection ranged from small debts of a few thousand dollars more than a decade ago to unpaid tax bills of $400,000 and homes facing foreclosure in recent years...."

Yeah, they feel they are entitled to a certain lifestyle

Colleagues, please don't let disinfo purveyors push scarelore about the border. There's a coordinated effort going on among the far right and its enablers to try to change the subject. They're lying, but it's been a reliable distraction for a long time. We can stop the cycle.
I'm here to help. It is what I spent all those years working on both sides of the border trying to fight. Remember that a lot of bullshit is getting pushed by the #TantonNetwork, "population control" maniacs and liars who worked throughout the Trump administration. Don't forget.
They were the ones who cooked up all this horseshit to scare peple into sealing the borders, because they think Latin Americans are corrupt and breed too much. It was cooked up by a racist Michigan ophthalmologist and funded by a racist heiress.nytimes.com/2019/08/14/us/…

WOW.
President’s personal lawyer toggled between veiled threats—“Be careful,” he warned repeatedly—and promises to help improve Ukraine’s relations with Trump. “My only motive—it isn’t to get anybody in trouble who doesn’t deserve to be in trouble,” Giuliani said.
“For our country’s sake and your country’s sake, we [need to] get all these facts straight,” he added. “We fix them and we put it behind us.”

You think the people who egged on 1/6 and all the dress rehearsals before it (like the Whitmer kidnapping plot) for personal and professional gains are just going to give up power and go away quietly?
I mean, how many times do I have to say coordinated global far right power grab attempt? I've been saying it now for what, a year? Two?
I wasn't being bombastic. I had infiltrated a bunch of far right channels on various social media platforms. I saw them coordinating in a variety of languages. Look at who is making moves and grabbing up power all over the world right now.

Ah yes, the "false flag" defense rearing its ugly head again. Unfortunately for @SenMikeShirkey, we all know he knows better, considering his role in those astroturfed Michigan statehouse "rallies" that ultimately culminated in yet another far right power grab attempt

Please stop falling for it. I'm a former border reporter who left her beloved community to fight disinformation... and now I'm still covering the border. Please don't fall for it. You can message me if you're in any doubt.
So much of what Americans know about the border is bullshit. It comes directly from white supremacists who launder it slightly though unsuspecting members of the press. The border has been the United States' disinfo lab for decades. It's why so much of the last four years was
predicated around asylum-seekers, refugees, and immigrants. And of course, the far right/corporate fascists want to harden borders ahead of climate change related social meltdowns, so they can consolidate resources and power. That's the whole plan. Quit falling for it!
