It is the most effective tool that the Democrat-media complex has.

 – Andrew Breitbart

Long before the Trump presidency, and long before the Resistance, Andrew Breitbart understood that left’s use of the race card was a simply a tactic and effective one at that.

Now, with the midterms upon us, an unhinged media and an unhinged Hollywood are employing that same tactic with an unparalleled fervor, casting aspersions on any and every deplorable.

It’s a playbook and it’s nothing new.

The interview above was taken from the movie Runaway Slave.

It was released in January of 2012.

Below is the transcript.

One of the most effective tactics that the left has is the ability to accuse its opponents of “being a racist.” It’s an impossible negative to dispel. It immediately puts somebody on the defensive, and it sends a message to the audience: you shouldn’t take seriously what’s coming out of that person’s mouth, because they’ve been degraded as being a racist. In the era of my conservatism, which is the last 20 years of my life, I’ve tried to make the argument that that’s an affirmation of precisely the opposite: that if, in this country, being accused of [being] a racist is the worst thing that causes people to shut up, doesn’t that mean that racism has been dispelled to a huge degree? That to be accused of it, the American people recoil, and don’t want the in your proximity? If racism were the default in this culture, and somebody accused you of being a racist, wouldn’t you say, “Yeah, I am! Just as is the majority, you’re gonna deal with it.” It is used because those who wield it know how effective it is. That is the primary reason. It is the most effective tool that the Democrat-media complex has.

Build the wall.

Via WACH:

Moms from across America made their way down to the southern border to experience firsthand and get a mom’s eye view on where the migrant caravan might stop.

Mothers came from across the country from Nevada, New York, Chicago and Washington D.C in a decision to caravan themselves to the U.S.- Mexico border in South Texas.

“I’m here as a Texas mom and actually I am encouraged, moms from across the country come and join us to stand together,” said Alice Linahan, a mother from Dallas.

Many of them shocked to find out what separates both countries.

“To see this wall I mean we heard about it and talked about it and the Rio Grande and I can’t believe it—that is what is separating—that is not securing our border at all,” said Stephanie Trussell, a mom from Chicago.

And seeing firsthand an apprehension of two undocumented immigrants from El Salvador.

Beth Parlato from Buffalo, New York said it was a scene that she had not experienced before and called the experience “surreal.”

With the migrant caravan on its way to the border, these moms heard from local educators living in the Rio Grande Valley.

Parlato said she wanted to see how close the schools were to the borders and get a mother’s perspective.

“Hopefully on Tuesday the American people will vote to send people back to D.C. to help him [President Donald Trump] get this agenda passed and get this wall built everywhere around and then we would love to help whoever,” Trussell said.

Many Central American parents who were detained separately from their children during the April-to-June zero-tolerance program are leaving up to 500 children and youths in the United States, according to federal data.

An additional 2,104 migrant children and youths have been reunited with their migrant parents, according to the data recently provided to a judge by the Department of Health and Human Services. But many of their parents may choose to leave some of the 1,2014 children and youths in the United States when judges eject the parents’ asylum pleas.

“There’s a lot of people from Central America who are willing to leave their kids here, rather than take them back,” said Mark Krikorian, the director of the Center for Immigration Studies. He continued:

Especially if there is relative here [in the United States], or if the child is close to 18 and can get a job and send the money home, it makes perfect sense.

It does not mean in every instance that the illegal migrant knew what they are doing and planned to drop their kids off, but it does add some nuance to the sob stories that the media has been retailing.

The high percentage of children deliberately left by their parents contradicts the media’s anguished narrative that the children were cruelly “ripped” from their uncomprehending parents’ arms.

Instead, the data reinforces the abundant evidence that journalists do not want to recognize how poor Central American migrants are rationally exploiting the United State’s asylum system to win green cards and education for their children.

Many wealthy foreign parents, including many Chinese and Russians, use a different strategy to win citizenship for their foreign children. They fly into the United States long enough to give birth on American soil and to pick up their child’s new Social Security Numbers.

The number of abandoned Central American children will likely rise as U.S. immigration courts order the deportation of the remaining 2,o00 migrant parents who were released and reunited with their 2,104 children. Since their release, the 2,000 parents and their 2,104 children are allowed to live and work in the United States until a judge decide their pleas for asylum, likely in 2020 or 2021.

Data from prior years suggest that few of the migrants’ pleas for asylum will be approved by a judge and that most will be ordered home. But the available data also suggest that most migrants skip their final hearing to dodge deportation by the Department of Homeland Security.

“Most of the kids and parents are probably here to stay, and that’s what they and the smugglers and the anti-border activists are counting on,” Krikorian said. “How much effort is ICE going to put into picking up some 12-year-old whose asylum claim has been turned down?”

Trump canceled the zero-tolerance enforcement program in June amid an outpouring of emotional complaints from pro-migration media personalities, pro-migration activists, and from Democratic politicians. The enforcement program was portrayed as a cruel “family separation” program, even though the 2015 Flores judicial agreement approved by President Barack Obama requires that children be housed separately when their parents are detained for longer than 20 days.

Trump announced a new strategy on November 1 to block the growing number of Central American migrants who make asylum requests to help walk past the border guards and into U.S. jobs.

The new plan will use tent cities to detain migrants and their children until their asylum pleas are resolved in as little as 40 days. The plan also replaces the Flores court decision with a new regulation allowing detention of children — with their parents — for more than 20 days.

The plan was praised by Krikorian. ‘They should not be releasing anyone who applies for asylum in the first place … The goal should be that every asylum applicant is held during the entire course of the proceedings,” he said, but added that pro-migration groups will likely get friendly judges to block the plan.

The HHS data sheet shows that 2,104 children have been released from the agency’s Office of Refugee Resettlement and then reunited with their migrant parents prior to court hearings.

The HHS data also shows that the group of roughly 500 abandoned children and youths is comprised of:

One hundred and eighteen children who have been left in government care by their parents since the parents’ deportation, according to a count by the Ameican Civil Liberties Union.

Forty-three additional children remain in government care “because further review shows they were not separated from parents by DHS.”

Thirty-three additional children are “in [government] care where a final determination has been made they cannot be reunified because the parent is unfit or presents a danger to the child.”

Thirty-three children are in government care while the parents are outside the United States.

Another 14 children have parents in the United States but have not been reunited with their parents, for reasons that are unexplained by HHS.

Three hundred children have been released from HHS because they have become adults who can file for asylum themselves, or because they are being sheltered by other people, mostly the relatives of the migrants. The released children and youths are free to work in Americans’ workplaces and to use Americans’ schools. Some of those children and youths may be living close to or with their released parents prior to their asylum hearings.

If the 300 are excluded from the overall tally, the number of left-behind children remains at 200.

 

Overall, Washington’s economic policy of using migration to boost economic growth shifts wealth from young people towards older people by flooding the market with cheap white-collar and blue-collar foreign labor. That flood of outside labor spikes profits and Wall Street values by cutting salaries for manual and skilled labor offered by blue-collar and white-collar employees.

 

 

 

Investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson writes in the Hill that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has been using its surveillance on American citizens “for the better part of two decades, if not longer.”

“Maybe you once thought the CIA wasn’t supposed to spy on Americans here in the United States,” said the Emmy-winning investigative journalist. “That concept is so yesteryear.” She points to newly declassified 2014 documents which “reveal the CIA not only intercepted emails of U.S. citizens, but they were emails of the most sensitive kind,” namely about whistleblowers:

The disclosures, kept secret until now, are two letters of “congressional notification” from the Intelligence Community inspector general at the time, Charles McCullough. He stated that during “routine counterintelligence monitoring of government computer systems,” the CIA collected emails between congressional staff and the CIA’s head of whistleblowing and source protection.

McCullough was concerned about the “potential compromise to whistleblower confidentiality, and the consequent ‘chilling effect’ that the present [counterintelligence] monitoring system might have on Intelligence Community whistleblowing.”

While the CIA is supposedly restricted to spying on individuals “only for an authorized intelligence purpose” such as when someone is suspected of terrorism, they have also given themselves carte blanche to perform “routine counterintelligence monitoring of government computers.”

“The only reason we know any of this now is thanks to Sen. Chuck Grassley,” Attkisson said. Grassley pursued these “congressional notifications” for years while his staff was being spied on– but both the Obama and Trump administrations have made it exceedingly difficult to get at the information therein. The surveillance information was finally declassified by the new Intelligence Community Inspector General, Michael Atkinson.

“The fact that the CIA under the Obama administration was reading congressional staff’s emails about Intelligence Community whistleblowers raises serious policy concerns, as well as potential constitutional separation-of-powers issues that must be discussed publicly,” Grassley wrote in a statement.

Attkisson concludes with a rebuke of American complacency, saying:

But today, we’ve grown numb. Outrage has been replaced by a cynical, “Who’s surprised about that?” or the persistent belief that “Nothing’s really going to be done about it,” and, worst of all, “What’s so bad about it, anyway?”

She pointed to the FBI’s bald-faced attempts to stop President Trump from being elected as a symptom of a broader concern; that “bad actors targeting candidate Donald Trump and his associates” in order to keep people from learning that “our Intelligence Community [has been] increasingly spying on its own citizens, journalists, members of Congress and political enemies for the better part of two decades, if not longer.”

Hollywood celebrities revved up their social media sniveling in the waning hours before the highly anticipated midterm elections. The hysteria among Hollywood elites reached a fever pitch on Monday, with countless stars sharing unhinged screeds, snark, and smears about Republican candidates and President Donald Trump.

Below is the Breitbart Election Eve Celebrity Live Wire, where we will follow the latest midterm news and reaction from the most vocal Hollywood activists.
