This meme is going around in an attempt to attack the right over its immigration stance, framing the narratives about mass migration as absurd

In fact, the claims are true, and the existence of one enables the other, quite disastrously for Americans

I'll explain in the 🧵👇 Image
The recent reports from groups like @America_2100 about what is going on in Springfield, Ohio showed this to be true

20,000 Haitians didn't just randomly show up in Springfield (nor do migrants generally just show up anywhere)

Rather, they were attracted there by job postings NGOs showed only to Haitians, brought into the town by NGOs, supported in their lifestyles by NGOs, and then told to work for the low wages (relative to American wages) provided by those jobs, supported in doing so by gobs of NGO money
Examples of that same general story happening across the country abound: what generally is the case is that the government is using tax dollars to heap cash on NGOs, which then use it to enrich themselves and subsidize the invaders

The Springfield Haitians NGO got hundreds of millions; now apply that across thousands of 501c3s using donor and taxpayer dollars to subsidize the migrants, legal and illegal, as the same story is true of pretty much every town in America and the NGOs operating in it to flood it with migrantsImage
It's really hard to overstate how expansive these groups are, or the massive amounts of funding they have

Another involved in the Haitian invasion, the Haitian Bridge Alliance, as @Oilfield_Rando pointed out, has gotten millions of dollars of funding in recent years, a great deal of it from George Soros, and used it to help resettle Haitians in America

It's website provides, "The Haitian Bridge Alliance is a 501c(3) non-profit organization that advocates for fair and humane immigration policies and connects migrants with humanitarian, legal, and social services — with a particular focus on Black migrants, the Haitian community, women, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and survivors of torture."Image
The NGO aspect of the mass migration invasion is important because it's how those migrants, legal and illegal, can afford to work all day for minimum wage, as @DougMackeyCase recently pointed out

When they're paid a few dollars an hour for their work (whatever the real number is, Mackey is just giving an approximation), they're being supported by the equivalent of dozens of dollars and hour in NGO and government (Ah, but I repeat myself) subsidies that make the true cost of having them here extremely expensive, even ignoring the social cost of having them in America

So instead of paying $20 an hour to an American, or even the full $30 it really costs to employ the Haitian, businesses just pay $9 an hour...hence why they "love Haitians" as that one scumbag business owner from Springfield said about the invaders

They "love" the invaders because the invaders are supported in their incomes from the feds, unlike American taxpayers who get no comparable assistance of note from the government, and so can work for "cheap" compared to AmericansImage
So yes, the problem, much as those on the left deride us for pointing it out, is both that the migrants are welfare mooches and are taking the jobs

They can take the jobs because the welfare subsidies, both directly from the government and through NGOs, let them work for far less than American workers, who get no assistance from their government of the sort it provides to the invaders it is replacing them with, and the weak-chinned Republican "community leaders" clap like seals because the Haitians go to church and are "here to work"Image
If the funding was yanked, both from Soros/fed NGOs like the Haitian Bridge Alliance and from government welfare programs for migrants, the invader job problem would melt away in most industries, as the cost of migrant labor would return to being close to the cost of American labor

But right now, the migrants are subsidized to a great degree by the NGOs and government, so they work for a comparatively low amountImage

What six books should you read for an alternative look at history?

I'm known for my alternative views on history, particularly on Rhodesia, so what books do I recommend to start learning the tragic history of the past few centuries in a similar way

I'll show you in the 🧵👇
First up is "The Great Betrayal" by former Rhodesian PM Ian Douglas Smith

It's his autobiography, with a focus on his leadership during the Bush War and how he tried to save the country from the communist and Western-supported rebel attacks

It focuses on how the British and Americans stabbed Rhodesia in the back, throwing their ethnic cousins in Rhodesai to the bloodthirsty, communist wolves in the name of "democracy" and egalitarianism

It also shows Smith's care for the natives of Rhodesia, black and white alike, and how he wanted what was best for them (which wasn't mass democracy), in contrast to the Mugabe-supporting West that just wanted to do what would make it feel good

That is critical to understanding the second half of the twentieth century, as it shows what the Cold War and decolonization were about: not resisting communism, but pushing mass democracy on every patch of Earth in the name of ideological egalitarianism

The book was reprinted as "Bitter Harvest," which is sometimes easier to find. Both are easiest to find on AbeBooks

If you like this one, "Three Sips of Gin" by Tim Bax is superb, as is "Rhodesia Accuses" by PeckImage
Second is "Defenders of the West" by Raymond Ibrahim

It charts Christian resistance to Muslim aggression, with its key focus being on the few heroes who resisted the advance of Islam, often against great odds

It is critical because it shows the truth about Islam: today, a few fools on the right are trying to present Muslims as allies of true Christians in the fight against degeneracy. Nothing could be further from the truth; where the crescent moon of Islam goes, backwardness and blood-soaked horror always follows. The path out of this abominable world, both in live and after, is true Christianity, the Christianity of the heroes cataloged in the book; not allying with those who have tortured, oppressed, and killed Christians for centuries

@ChivalryGuild has written a great deal about this one, and is worth checking out

If you like this one, another great book on a similar subject is God's Battalions by Rodney Stark.Image

You often hear it said in American politics that we need to "return to the Founders" politically

Funnily enough, nearly everyone saying that would absolutely hate what it would mean, but it would indeed solve our issues

It would essentially mean turning into Rhodesia...🧵👇
Image
Image
What would a return to the Founders mean, and how's it related to Rhodesia?

Well, as I've written about before, Rhodesia was essentially the last old-style Western country that limited the franchise, only allowing property owners to vote

Critics call that "undemocratic," which it is, but it's how the West operated when it rose to prominence. Though America lacked a King, it was similar, under the Constitution, to the British in that only those with a requisite (and large) amount of property could vote for their representatives, and the popular house in the legislature was restrained by an "aristocratic" branch meant to be composed of the best, or the Lords in England and the wealthy who were elected by the state legislatures in AmericaImage
That landed voting system is what originally made America great, namely by keeping it from making disastrously bad decisions in the early days, when one false step could have meant disaster. It's also what made England prosperous and stable as the rest of the continent buckled under

Importantly, the franchise for all white males only came under Jackson, after the danger point of the British taking over was past (those rowdy new voters proceeded to trash the White House while partying). And a really universal franchise only came in the 20th century, at which point no one could invade America...other than the illegal immigrants "our democracy" is now letting in.Image

The thing to understand about mass migration is that it's not just terrible, bringing the 3rd World's worst here, though it is, or a wage suppressant for the American working class, though it is

It's also a long-term weapon meant to punish and destroy conservative areas🧵👇
The above video is quite good, so thanks to @WesternLensman

What should really be added is that the Haitian situation makes yet more aspects of the crisis clear: namely, that it's not just about illegal migrants and that it's about more than electoral control

The Haitians are brought here intentionally and helped to stay. For example, the Biden-Harris Administration's
CHNV program lets 30,000 migrants EACH MONTH from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela apply for asylum. When approved, they're granted Medicaid and food stamp benefits, at the cost to the Treasury of over $3 billion in just the past year. They want to expand it by $1 billion more

Under the ridiculous "humanitarian programs" of Biden and Harris, NGOs are paid obscene amounts to "settle" the Haitians in American communities, such as in Springfield, by their thousands

So it's intentionalImage
And the Haitians the Biden-Harris Regime is expending egregious amounts on bringing here, to name just one of the many groups, are being used to destroy conservative America

Do you know that about 81% of the Haitian invaders have been plopped down in areas that voted Trump in 2020?

That might be to change the voting patterns of the areas through birthright citizenship and fraud, but it's also probably meant to punish those areas for having the temerity to not vote for the gay race communism candidate

Civilization, British historian Kenneth Clark noted, "however complex and solid it seems, it is actually quite fragile. It can be destroyed."

Indeed that's true, and now we in the West are seeing it

But there's a key ingredient Clark leaves out that I'll explain in the 🧵👇 Image
First, here's the full quote of Clark's that I found after reading a 🧵on the subject by @thinkingwest (it's linked at the end). Clark said:

“What happened?

It took Gibbon six volumes to describe the decline and fall of the Roman Empire, so I shan’t embark on that. But thinking about this almost incredible episode does tell one something about the nature of civilisation.

It shows that however complex and solid it seems, it is actually quite fragile. It can be destroyed.



What are its enemies?


Well, first of all fear — fear of war, fear of invasion, fear of plague and famine, that make it simply not worthwhile constructing things, or planting trees or even planning next year’s crops. And fear of the supernatural, which means that you daren’t question anything or change anything.

The late antique world was full of meaningless rituals, mystery religions, that destroyed self-confidence. And then exhaustion, the feeling of hopelessness which can overtake people even with a high degree of material prosperity.

There is a poem by the modern Greek poet, Cavafy, in which he imagines the people of an antique town like Alexandria waiting every day for the barbarians to come and sack the city. Finally the barbarians move off somewhere else and the city is saved; but the people are disappointed — it would have been better than nothing.

Of course, civilisation requires a modicum of material prosperity—

What civilization needs:

confidence in the society in which one lives, belief in its philosophy, belief in its laws, and confidence in one’s own mental powers. The way in which the stones of the Pont du Gard are laid is not only a triumph of technical skill, but shows a vigorous belief in law and discipline.

Vigour, energy, vitality: all the civilisations—or civilising epochs—have had a weight of energy behind them.

People sometimes think that civilisation consists in fine sensibilities and good conversations and all that. These can be among the agreeable results of civilisation, but they are not what make a civilisation, and a society can have these amenities and yet be dead and rigid.”Image
To a great extent, that is true. A society weighed down by old rituals it no longer understands and lacking in vitality and vigor isn't one that will long survive.

But it misses the other key ingredient: Civilization requires doing whatever is necessary to preserve it, however brutal or unkind. Put more pithily, civilization requires giving the legion a free hand with which to deal with the barbariansImage

One of the most criminally underknown and underrecognized Great Men of history is Singapore's Lee Kuan Yew

Many vaguely know of Singapore and that he built it, but not how he did so

Why? Because his success is a rebuke to our democratic views 🧵👇
As a reminder, Lee's accession to power came alongside the semi-controlled demolition of the British Empire in the wake of its disastrous Eastern losses in WWII and the beginning of the Cold War

Singapore was attempting to separate from Malaysia, which was better armed, larger, and more populous, and had to contend not only with that external threat, but with the internal specter of labor-supported communism and ethnic division between the Malays, Chinese, and othersImage
Further, as Singapore attempted to get on its feet, it had to do so from a position of economic backwardness

The British had built some industry there, but the land was quite poor and desperately in need of improvement and investment

Further, it needed stability, not internal bickering between ethnic groups and social classesImage

This is one of the stupidest, most mendacious claims of the faux Christian, "shithole socialist" talking points

God doesn't command you to import infinity violent foreigners into your country

In fact, the Bible is against doing so and describes it as a "disaster" 🧵👇 Image
First, having foreigners invade you is actually a punishment levied for not obeying God...not a commandment of His

Deuteronomy 28:43-45 provides, "Foreigners who live in your land will gain more and more power, while you gradually lose yours. They will have money to lend you, but you will have none to lend them. In the end they will be your rulers. All these disasters will come on you, and they will be with you until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the Lord your God and keep all the laws that he gave you."Image
Image
If God was pro-Great Replacement, why would he make it happening a curse for forgetting his commands?

No, it's quite clear that mass migration is a punishment from God, a curse for forgetting his commandments...which would make sense given that generally atheistic in practice America and Europe are suffering the worse from this Biblical plagueImage
