It’s time for Congress to act on behalf of all veterans and Americans to legalize marijuana across the nation, end foreign wars of aggression, and reboot the VA. Too many people are in jail and are being charged with felonies for a plant—one that has demonstrated the power to treat the pain and depression of war, addictions to the opioids dished out by the VA, and most importantly—to prevent suicide.

China Threatens to Withhold ALL MEDICAL EXPORTS: “The United States will fall into the hell” of a Coronavirus Epidemic

As China allegedly conquers the spread of the Covid-19 outbreak that began in Wuhan , it appears that they ’ re right back to considering the United States an enemy .
On Xiahuanet , the Communist Party news outlet , they threatened to withhold all medical exports to the US , at the same asking for an “ apology ” from the US and “ gratitude ” from the rest of the world .
This comes at the most crucial point of an outbreak that originated in their own country .
Why is China angry with the US ?
Xinhuanet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and very “ influential.
” The outlet is the official state-run press agency , so anything found on the website is straight from the Chinese government .
An article titled , “ The World Should Thank China , ” which was published on March 4 , covered the outbreak of Covid-19 in the United States .
The article suggests that the US ’ s data is suspicious because all cases of coronavirus must be confirmed by the CDC .
( I can ’ t disagree with them that our numbers are questionable @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people praying in the White House to underline how “ nervous ” President Trump is about the virus .
( This photo was actually of a meeting that the Vice President had about the rapidly spreading virus , as opposed to the President . )
Xinhuanet goes on to tout the control they have taken over the outbreak , saying that Trump admires their handling of the crisis and that his “ remarks came from the bottom of his heart.
” At the same time , Xinhuanet criticized the US ’ s perceived @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ban and the evacuation of American citizens from Wuhan , the heart of the outbreak .
This caused , according to Xinhuanet , other countries to also “ isolate ” China from the rest of the world , causing them economic harm .
A translated version of the article says : And now , if it is to be believed that China has contained the outbreak and they ’ re back to business as usual , they may want to exact some vengeance for this “ unkindness.
” ( And of course , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even currently possess the capability to manufacture these medical products or is this all a way to save face because their workforce is decimated and the virus is actually not contained at all ? )
How did China threaten the US ?
In the article , China suggests that they could easily get even with the United States for their perceived mistreatment of China during the outbreak by cutting off medical supplies while we are in the midst of our own outbreak .
If China retaliates against the United States at this time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ban on the United States , it will also announce strategic control over medical products and ban exports to the United States .
Then the United States will be caught in the ocean of new crown viruses .
According to the US CDC officials , most masks in the United States are made in China and imported from China .
If China bans the export of masks to the United States , the United States will fall into the mask shortage , and the most basic measures to prevent the new crown virus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Also according to the US CDC officials , most of the drugs in the United States are imported , and some drugs are imported from Europe .
However , Europe also places the production base of these drugs in China , so more than 90 % of the US imported drugs are Related to China .
The implication is that at this time , as long as China announces that its drugs are as domestic as possible and banned exports , the United States will fall into the hell of the new crown @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the next paragraph , Xinhuanet basically says , “ Nah , don ’ t worry .
We are filled with love.
” Then the article suggests that the United States , if not the entire world , owes China an apology due to our media coverage of the outbreak in Wuhan and comments made about the outbreak by government officials like Secretary of Commerce Rose , US Secretary of State Pompeo , and US White House Economic Adviser Navarro .
They say these officials “ gloated ” about the coronavirus outbreak and saw @ @ @ @ @ @ @ manufacturing out of China .
The article says that not only should the world apologize to China but that they should thank China because they “ made huge sacrifices , paid huge economic costs , and cut off the new crown virus.
” This seems to be a direct threat against the United States , and it ’ s one we ’ ve made possible by becoming reliant on other countries for essential supplies .
The US is far too dependent on China for medical needs .
The United States is extremely dependent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from medical diagnostic equipment to masks to medications is produced in China and then exported to the US for use by our citizens .
This puts the US in an extremely fragile situation and at the mercy of China .
Even without China purposefully withholding medications , the United States is already concerned about a disruption in the supply chain since factories have been closed for around two months at this point .
How concerned should we be about this ?
According to a report on Vox , it ’ s worrisome , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other places that manufacture medications like India .
And the Vox article was talking about shortages as a byproduct of the pandemic .
Imagine how bad the shortages would be if China deliberately withheld all medical product exports to the US .
What medical supplies could be affected ?
We ’ re reliant on China for a shocking number of medical supplies and drugs and it puts us in an extremely vulnerable position .
In a recent article , I listed some of the things we import from China .
That list includes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ acids with additional oxygen function , and their derivatives • Amfetamine ( INN ) benzfetamine ( INN ) , dexamfetamine ( INN ) , etilamfetamine used to treat ADHD , hyperactivity , narcolepsy , athletic performance and cognitive enhancer • Human blood ; animal blood prepared for therapeutic , prophylactic , diagnostic uses ; toxins , cultures of micro-organisms • Other medications containing alkaloids or derivatives • Medicaments containing vitamin B2 synthesized from aromatic or mod .
aromatic compounds , in dosage form or packed for retail • Medicaments containing vitamin B12 synthesized @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , in dosage form or packed for retail • Medicaments containing vitamin E synthesized from aromatic or mod .
aromatic compounds , in dosage form or packed • Adhesive dressings and other articles having an adhesive layer , coated or impregnated with pharmaceutical substances , packed for retail • Triethanolamine will affect surfactants ( any detergent ) , emulsifiers , and cosmetics • Algins used as thickening or stabilizing agents in foodstuffs and other products .
• Drugs used to dilate the cervix • Opacifying preparation for X-ray examination ; diagnostic reagent designed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as Barium for GI series , dyes , and stains for other radiologic tests • Antigens or antisera antiserum .
A serum containing antibodies that are specific for one or more antigens .
Also called immune serum .
Human or animal serum containing one or more antibodies that are specific for one or more antigens and are administered to confer immunity .
• Thorium – coats tungsten filaments used in old-fashioned light bulbs , TVs , electronics , etc .
• Gel preparation use human/veterinary medicine lubricant in surgical operations , physical exam @ @ @ @ @ @ @ medical instrument , such as KY Jelly If China pulled the plug on these imports , whether maliciously or because they were unable to manufacture them due to the Covid-19 outbreak there , many people in the United States would suffer and even die because of it .
This should be a lesson to the United States .
The US is no longer a nation of producers but a nation of consumers .
This could quickly come back and bite us in the rear as we ’ re seeing right now with empty @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ports that mean restocking isn ’ t going to happen right away .
Our just-in-time merchandising is dangerous .
Even something like the trucks halting deliveries in the United States could cause chaos in less than a week .
Imagine what could happen if the merchandise never arrived at all .
If our nation learns one lesson from this outbreak , hopefully , it will be the lesson that self-reliant people already know .
You can ’ t count on others to take care of you when the chips are down .
You @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the hands of others , particularly others with whom we have years of enmity and bickering .
Having our medical imports cut off at any time would be extremely threatening to the well-being of many Americans .
But having it occur in the midst of an outbreak that China allowed to start and to spread would be nothing short of catastrophic .
I previously wondered if Wuhan was a sacrificial city in China ’ s efforts to stop the spread of the virus .
But this makes me wonder if they ever @ @ @ @ @ @ @ As they ( allegedly ) recover from the Covid-19 outbreak , the US and many other countries are just beginning to fight the spread .
Was the sacrifice of Wuhan actually even darker than suspected ?
Is it possible that a global spread of a virus that many believe to be bioengineered was the plan all along ?
Would a country make a virus the first wave of an attack on that would be followed by the withholding of medical supplies ?
Out of the multitude of conspiracy theories that have arisen surrounding @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of this comes directly from an official channel in China : the possibility of a retaliatory withholding of medical supplies during the most crucial point of the outbreak in the United States .

As China allegedly conquers the spread of the Covid-19 outbreak that began in Wuhan, it appears that they’re right back to considering the United States an enemy. On Xiahuanet, the Communist Party news outlet, they threatened to withhold all medical exports to the US, at the same asking for an “apology” from the US and “gratitude” from the rest of the world.
This comes at the most crucial point of an outbreak that originated in their own country.
Why is China angry with the US?
Xinhuanet is the biggest news agency in China, and very “influential.” The outlet is the official state-run press agency, so anything found on the website is straight from the Chinese government. An article titled, “The World Should Thank China,” which was published on March 4, covered the outbreak of Covid-19 in the United States.
The article suggests that the US’s data is suspicious because all cases of coronavirus must be confirmed by the CDC. (I can’t disagree with them that our numbers are questionable.) It shows a photograph of people praying in the White House to underline how “nervous” President Trump is about the virus. (This photo was actually of a meeting that the Vice President had about the rapidly spreading virus, as opposed to the President.)
Xinhuanet goes on to tout the control they have taken over the outbreak, saying that Trump admires their handling of the crisis and that his “remarks came from the bottom of his heart.”
At the same time, Xinhuanet criticized the US’s perceived mistreatment of China, citing the travel ban and the evacuation of American citizens from Wuhan, the heart of the outbreak. This caused, according to Xinhuanet, other countries to also “isolate” China from the rest of the world, causing them economic harm.
A translated version of the article says:
These practices in the United States are very unkind. They can be described as falling into the ground and killing people while they are ill. (source)
And now, if it is to be believed that China has contained the outbreak and they’re back to business as usual, they may want to exact some vengeance for this “unkindness.” (And of course, this remains the question – do they even currently possess the capability to manufacture these medical products or is this all a way to save face because their workforce is decimated and the virus is actually not contained at all?)
How did China threaten the US?
In the article, China suggests that they could easily get even with the United States for their perceived mistreatment of China during the outbreak by cutting off medical supplies while we are in the midst of our own outbreak.
If China retaliates against the United States at this time, in addition to announcing a travel ban on the United States, it will also announce strategic control over medical products and ban exports to the United States. Then the United States will be caught in the ocean of new crown viruses. According to the US CDC officials, most masks in the United States are made in China and imported from China. If China bans the export of masks to the United States, the United States will fall into the mask shortage, and the most basic measures to prevent the new crown virus are Can’t do it. Also according to the US CDC officials, most of the drugs in the United States are imported, and some drugs are imported from Europe. However, Europe also places the production base of these drugs in China, so more than 90% of the US imported drugs are Related to China. The implication is that at this time, as long as China announces that its drugs are as domestic as possible and banned exports, the United States will fall into the hell of the new crown pneumonia epidemic. (source)
In the next paragraph, Xinhuanet basically says, “Nah, don’t worry. We are filled with love.”
However, there is a great love in the world. The Chinese people and the Chinese government have never done so. They have not insulted the United States, nor have they banned the export of masks and medicines to the United States. (source)
Then the article suggests that the United States, if not the entire world, owes China an apology due to our media coverage of the outbreak in Wuhan and comments made about the outbreak by government officials like Secretary of Commerce Rose, US Secretary of State Pompeo, and US White House Economic Adviser Navarro. They say these officials “gloated” about the coronavirus outbreak and saw it as an opportunity to pull US manufacturing out of China.
The article says that not only should the world apologize to China but that they should thank China because they “made huge sacrifices, paid huge economic costs, and cut off the new crown virus.”
Now we should rightfully say that the United States owes China an apology, and the world owes China a gratitude. Without China ’s huge sacrifice and dedication, it would not be possible to win a precious time window for the world to fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic. (source)
This seems to be a direct threat against the United States, and it’s one we’ve made possible by becoming reliant on other countries for essential supplies.
The US is far too dependent on China for medical needs.
The United States is extremely dependent on China for medical products. Everything from medical diagnostic equipment to masks to medications is produced in China and then exported to the US for use by our citizens. This puts the US in an extremely fragile situation and at the mercy of China.
Even without China purposefully withholding medications, the United States is already concerned about a disruption in the supply chain since factories have been closed for around two months at this point. How concerned should we be about this? According to a report on Vox, it’s worrisome, particularly if the outbreak becomes widespread in other places that manufacture medications like India.
Drug shortages might not be felt immediately, as many companies stockpile ingredients or supplies to protect against unexpected stoppages, or have redundancies — meaning they rely on factories in different places — built into their supply chains. And the reality is, with or without the coronavirus, drug shortages are a perennial problem in the United States. But an acute emergency like a virus outbreak, but also a natural disaster or a geopolitical event like a trade war, can threaten to make things worse. “It does fit a kind of scenario we have worried about in the field for a while now,” Cornelius Clancy, an associate professor of medicine and director of the XOR pathogen lab at the University of Pittsburgh, told me. “It wouldn’t take much to expose the vulnerabilities in the supply chain.” (source)
And the Vox article was talking about shortages as a byproduct of the pandemic. Imagine how bad the shortages would be if China deliberately withheld all medical product exports to the US.
What medical supplies could be affected?
We’re reliant on China for a shocking number of medical supplies and drugs and it puts us in an extremely vulnerable position. In a recent article, I listed some of the things we import from China. That list includes:
Medical devices
Electromagnetics
Lab equipment for all applications
Coenzyme Q10 (ubidecarenone) heart health supplement increases oxygen
Quinone drugs including Malaria testing kits
Aromatic drugs derived from carboxylic acids with additional oxygen function, and their derivatives
Amfetamine (INN) benzfetamine (INN), dexamfetamine (INN), etilamfetamine used to treat ADHD, hyperactivity, narcolepsy, athletic performance and cognitive enhancer
antidepressants, tranquilizers and other psychotherapeutic agents, monoamine drugs
cardiovascular drugs of amino-compounds with oxygen function
dermatological agents and local anesthetics
Lidocaine
oxygen increase breathing drugs for cardio patients and asthmatics
Anesthesia drugs
Thyroid drugs, hormone drugs
TB drugs
Anti-malaria drugs
Immunological products and drugs
Vaccines for human medicine
Vaccines for veterinary medicine
Human blood; animal blood prepared for therapeutic, prophylactic, diagnostic uses; toxins, cultures of micro-organisms
Antibiotics
Diabetes drugs, testing strips, syringes
Asthma drugs
Ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, norephedrine – vasodilators
Other medications containing alkaloids or derivatives
Medicaments containing vitamin B2 synthesized from aromatic or mod. aromatic compounds, in dosage form or packed for retail
Medicaments containing vitamin B12 synthesized from aromatic or mod. aromatic compounds, in dosage form or packed for retail
Medicaments containing vitamin E synthesized from aromatic or mod. aromatic compounds, in dosage form or packed
Adhesive dressings and other articles having an adhesive layer, coated or impregnated with pharmaceutical substances, packed for retail
Herbicides
Triethanolamine will affect surfactants (any detergent), emulsifiers, and cosmetics
Sterile surgical catgut, suture materials, tissue adhesives for wound closure, laminaria, laminaria tents, and absorbable hemostatic.
Algins used as thickening or stabilizing agents in foodstuffs and other products.
Drugs used to dilate the cervix
Blood-grouping reagents – medical blood tests
Opacifying preparation for X-ray examination; diagnostic reagent designed to be administered to the patient such as Barium for GI series, dyes, and stains for other radiologic tests
Antigens or antisera antiserum. A serum containing antibodies that are specific for one or more antigens. Also called immune serum. Human or animal serum containing one or more antibodies that are specific for one or more antigens and are administered to confer immunity.
Thorium – coats tungsten filaments used in old-fashioned light bulbs, TVs, electronics, etc.
Dental cement and other dental fillings; bone reconstruction cement
Chemical contraceptive preparations based on hormones or spermicides, birth control
Gel preparation use human/veterinary medicine lubricant in surgical operations, physical exam, or coupling agent between body & medical instrument, such as KY Jelly
Appliances identifiable for ostomy use
If China pulled the plug on these imports, whether maliciously or because they were unable to manufacture them due to the Covid-19 outbreak there, many people in the United States would suffer and even die because of it.
This should be a lesson to the United States.
The US is no longer a nation of producers but a nation of consumers. This could quickly come back and bite us in the rear as we’re seeing right now with empty store shelves across the country and empty ports that mean restocking isn’t going to happen right away.
Our just-in-time merchandising is dangerous. Even something like the trucks halting deliveries in the United States could cause chaos in less than a week. Imagine what could happen if the merchandise never arrived at all.
If our nation learns one lesson from this outbreak, hopefully, it will be the lesson that self-reliant people already know. You can’t count on others to take care of you when the chips are down. You can’t place your essential needs in the hands of others, particularly others with whom we have years of enmity and bickering.

On September 1970 , terrorists from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine hijacked four passenger planes headed for New York City .
The Marxist terrorists separated Jewish passengers and took them hostage .
The hijackings ushered in the age of modern airline security with x-ray machines and armed sky marshals , and the War on Terror , when President Nixon ordered an attack on the terrorists .
On another September , 31 years later , Islamic terrorists successfully repeated the same feat , and bypassed the antiquated security measures , to hijack four planes , and kill thousands @ @ @ @ @ @ @ senior advisor had celebrated the PFLP and had commemorated a 9/11 anniversary by tweeting , “ Tomorrow America remembers the day that she turned on herself , dismantled her constitution , and killed her own citizens in the name of money.
” “ I am excited to welcome Phillip to our team , ” Sanders was quoted as saying .
“ He is a gifted organizer.
” Bernie ’ s gifted organizer had commemorated September 11 with an Instagram caption , “ # neverforget what goes round comes round.
” The cartoon he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into the World Trade Center as boomerangs labeled , American foreign policy .
The cartoon was by Carlos Latuff , an anti-Semitic and pro-terrorist figure , who had taken second place in Iran ’ s Holocaust cartoon contest .
Agnew had co-founded Dream Defenders , a radical anti-American hate group , which claimed that “ Post 9/11 , the US declares a War on Terror and becomes a militarization , incarceration , deportation and surveillance machine around the world , all to keep colonial control over people , land and resources.

On September 1970, terrorists from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine hijacked four passenger planes headed for New York City. The Marxist terrorists separated Jewish passengers and took them hostage. The hijackings ushered in the age of modern airline security with x-ray machines and armed sky marshals, and the War on Terror, when President Nixon ordered an attack on the terrorists.
(President Nixon’s order to bomb the terrorist encampments was never carried out due to Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and Defense Secretary Melvin Laird undermining his decision. “I didn’t have a big argument about it: I just didn’t do it,” Laird recalled. He then told Admiral Thomas Hinman Moorer, the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to lie that there was too much cloud cover to bomb the terrorists.)
On another September, 31 years later, Islamic terrorists successfully repeated the same feat, and bypassed the antiquated security measures, to hijack four planes, and kill thousands of Americans.
Bernie’s new senior advisor had celebrated the PFLP and had commemorated a 9/11 anniversary by tweeting, “Tomorrow America remembers the day that she turned on herself, dismantled her constitution, and killed her own citizens in the name of money.”
“I am excited to welcome Phillip to our team,” Sanders was quoted as saying. “He is a gifted organizer.”
Bernie’s gifted organizer had commemorated September 11 with an Instagram caption, “#neverforget what goes round comes round.”
The cartoon he was captioning pictured the hijacked planes crashing into the World Trade Center as boomerangs labeled, American foreign policy. The cartoon was by Carlos Latuff, an anti-Semitic and pro-terrorist figure, who had taken second place in Iran’s Holocaust cartoon contest.
Agnew had co-founded Dream Defenders, a radical anti-American hate group, which claimed that “Post 9/11, the US declares a War on Terror and becomes a militarization, incarceration, deportation and surveillance machine around the world, all to keep colonial control over people, land and resources.”
Agnew had also promoted Dream Defender’s Blacked Out common core curriculum meant for children as young as 11, which celebrated the violent racists of the Black Panthers, the Marxist butchers of the Sandinistas, and the PFLP.
The curriculum intended for children celebrates the PFLP terrorist group as a “communist, working‐class party” and “Marxist‐Leninist and revolutionary socialist organization” whose goals include “the destruction of Israel”.
“They want to be free from global imperialism. They want liberation. They want equal rights. Just like the Dream Defenders,” the curriculum claims.
Dream Defenders neglects to mention that a key strategy in the PFLP’s Marxist-Leninist struggle was the murder of Jewish children.
In the Avivim school bus massacre, PFLP’s Marxist-Leninists ambushed a bus full of first, second, and third graders. After waiting for other vehicles to pass, the Communist killers targeted the bus with bazooka shells and machine gun fire leaving the floor covered in bloody text books and lunch boxes.
9 children were killed in the attack and another 19 were wounded. The dead included a brother and sister, 7 and 9 years old.
In the Kiryat Shmona massacre, PFLP terrorists attacked an apartment building, killing everyone they encountered inside, including 8 children.
Iris Sheetrit hid in a closet while the PFLP terrorists shot her mother, her 12-year-old sister, her 8-year-old brother and youngest 5-year-old brother. After they left, she came out and saw her younger brothers lying on the floor. Her dying mother told her to run away and hide.
While these attacks took place in the seventies, the terrorist group has continued to carry out killings. The United States government has designated the PFLP as an FTO or Foreign Terrorist Organization. That means providing material support or resources to the terrorist group is punishable by up to life in prison.
But supporting an FTO doesn’t preclude you from becoming a senior adviser to a presidential candidate.
At least not when that candidate is Bernie Sanders.
Agnew had been a longtime surrogate for the Sanders campaign. He’s been campaigning in Mississippi for Sanders alongside fellow surrogate Danny Glover. Glover had worked with the Black Panthers, a violent racist hate group, was a longtime supporter of Castro and the socialist regime in Venezuela.
“We all embraced Hugo Chavez as a social champion of democracy, material development, and spiritual well-being,” Chavez had declared.
At a prayer breakfast, during Bernie’s failed effort to win in South Carolina, Al Sharpton, the racist hate group leader, declared that he knows Bernie because he knows his surrogates like, Nina Turner, Cornel West and Phillip Agnew. West is a friend of Louis Farrakhan, the racist leader of the Nation of Islam, who had praised Hitler. He’s a supporter of Hugo Chavez, and is a 9/11 Truther, and a BDS supporter.
Despite Bernie’s insistence that his chosen flavor of socialism is European, the presence of Agnew, Glover, and, West, are reminders that it’s revolutionary Marxism that excites his base.
The Dream Defenders curriculum included support for the Sandinistas: the Marxist thugs who had ethnically cleansed the Miskito Indians and the country’s Jewish community, throwing firebombs at a synagogue, that the regime later seized, while shouting, “Death to the Jews”. More recently, the Sandinistas under Ortega had actually opened fire on a church.
But Bernie Sanders had visited Nicaragua and returned, singing the praises of the Marxist regime. He’s praised Castro, and defended brutal Marxist regimes across the region.
If Sanders were to win the White House, would the Blackout Curriculum be endorsed by the Department of Education? Could we see 6th graders across America being indoctrinated to support terrorism?
And anti-Semitism?
Phillip Agnew had slurred Israel as “ethnic privilege masquerading as a Jewish State” and accused Jews of having replicated, “the cruel discrimination and displacement that led to the founding of your supposed “homeland”. Then he declared that Dream Defenders supports BDS. But Bernie Sanders is surrounded by BDS supporters, including Cornel West, Linda Sarsour, Rep. Ilhan Omar, Danny Glover, and others.
Sanders is touting the support of Jesse “Hymietown” Jackson. The racist bigot had previously claimed that Obama’s reign would stop the “Zionists who have controlled American policy for decades”.
The Sanders campaign is full of bigots and supporters of Marxist terrorist organizations.
What does all of this mean for America?
“#thankyouferguson for your Molotov,” Bernie’s new senior adviser had tweeted. That same year, he boasted that he was not an activist, but a militant.
Win or lose, the primary or the election, the Sanders campaign is meant to wreck America. Bernie Sanders claims that he wants a revolution. Take him at his word. His surrogates and advisers do.

He has declared over and over his desire to defend Hungary from mass migration and the Islamization of the Christian country. Now, he’s doing it again in renewed attempts at mass Muslim migration into Hungary.
Breitbart reports:
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has said that his country will defend Europe against a wave of illegal mass migration as it had done in 2015 during the first migrant crisis.
Speaking to the media at a press conference on Wednesday, Prime Minister Orbán said while his country and the EU should “give all the help we can” to Greece to stop the migrant flows, “It won’t be enough just to defend the Greek-Turkish border.”
“As a last resort, as in 2015, there are the Hungarians,” he said during the summit with leaders of the three other central European Visegrád countries, adding: “Even if Greece’s attempt is successful, the EU border must be defended… which Hungary will do.”
Last week, Ankara broke the 2015 agreement with Brussels in which it would stop the illegal flow of migrants through Turkey in exchange for money and continuing EU accession talks, and opened the gates which resulted in thousands of migrants amassing on the near-east country’s land border with Greece. The migrants are reportedly from Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq.
Turkey’s Islamist president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, declared on Monday that “the doors are now open”, telling the EU “to take your share of the burden”. There are some 3.6 million migrants living in Turkey.
President Donald Trump did at least seek to impose a travel ban in the US from countries that were known to produce Muslim terrorists, though it took long enough to implement due to the administration waiting on liberal judges.
Still, Orban has demonstrated that he is serious about putting his money where his mouth is.
In 2017, we reported that Hungary put up a double fence along the border of his country with Serbia, and the results were staggering.
The illegal immigration numbers went from 319,000 in 2015 to 1,184 in 2017, a decrease of 99%!
Hungary’s wall was built over in 2015, and the flood of people illegally entering the country has all but stopped.
Speaking on the second anniversary of the government’s move to seal Hungary’s border with Serbia — which is also an external border for the European Union — Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s Chief Security Advisor György Bakondi announced that the fences have caused illegal immigration to collapse from 391,000 in 2015, to 18,236 in 2016, to just 1,184 in 2017. “The system of technical barriers is the key to the success of border security, and without it, it would be impossible to stop the mass arrival of immigrants”, the security chief explained. –Hot Air
As you can see, in just the first year, the drop in illegal immigration dramatically fell.
Orban is not one to be told by those outside Hungary what to do for his people.
Viktor Orban was originally told by the European Union that he couldn’t put the fence up in the first place.
He proceeded to build it anyway, doubled its size, and then sent a bill for half the cost to the EU.
It’s doubtful he’s expecting repayment, however, the little jab at the EU was probably payment enough.

Orban is about seeing the problems his country faces and seeking to provide real solutions, and he doesn’t just have a wall in mind.

Christine Douglass-Williams adds:
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has long declared his dedication to protecting his Christian country against mass migration and Islamization. In 2015, he said that the swarm of migrants flowing into Europe looked more “like an army.” Now, after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has opened the gates to a new flood of migrants — from Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq — Orban vows to “defend Europe against a wave of illegal mass migration.”

“European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Tuesday the bloc would provide Greece “all the support needed”.”Those who seek to test Europe’s unity will be disappointed. We will hold the line and our unity will prevail,” von der Leyen said, standing alongside Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and the chiefs of the European Council and European Parliament.”
Erdogan has long been an Islamic supremacist visionary who is aiming for a revived Ottoman Empire. The EU should have opposed him long ago and stood against the hijrah into Europe.

The Department of Justice announced a 25-count indictment against a man who portrayed himself as an immigration attorney, pastor, accountant, immigration expert, former immigration official, and former federal law enforcement officer to illegal aliens. As a result, he filed more than 215 fraudulent asylum applications.
According to US Attorney Maria Chapa Lopez, Elvis Harold Reyes, 56, is facing 8 counts of mail fraud, 8 counts of making false statements in immigration documents, and 9 counts of aggravated identity theft.
If he is convicted, Elvis may not only be singing “Jailhouse Rock,” but he may be put behind bars for a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison for each count of mail fraud, up to 15 years’ imprisonment for each false statement count, and a mandatory, consecutive term of two years’ imprisonment for the aggravated identity theft counts.
The DOJ issued a press release:
According to the indictment, Reyes, who owned and operated EHR Ministries Inc., portrayed himself as an immigration attorney, pastor, accountant, immigration expert, former immigration official, and former federal law enforcement officer. Reyes is not and has never been a licensed attorney. Reyes targeted undocumented immigrants from Spanish-speaking countries who were seeking Florida driver licenses and work authorization. He gave false, inaccurate, and incomplete legal and immigration advice to victims in order to induce them to retain his services and those of EHR Ministries.
Victims retained and paid Reyes to represent them in immigration-related matters before U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and other agencies. Reyes allegedly filed fraudulent immigration applications in the victims’ names, seeking asylum relief and withholding-of-removal protections provided for under the United Nations Convention Against Torture. In doing so, Reyes falsified answers to questions in the asylum applications—fabricating stories about threats, persecution, and the applicants’ fear of returning to their native countries. Reyes did not inform the victims of the answers that he had provided on their behalf. He also did not inform the victims about the legal, administrative, and other immigration-related consequences that might follow from filing for asylum relief or for Convention Against Torture protection.
…
Reyes is believed to have filed more than 215 fraudulent applications, with intended losses to victims exceeding $1 million. Any person who was, or knows of someone who may have been, a possible victim is urged to contact the Department of Homeland Security, Homeland Security Investigations, at 1-866-DHS-2ICE or http://www.ice.gov/webform/hsi-tip-form.
Right, OK.
So, will any of those illegal aliens who contact DHS or any of those illegal aliens who have been taken advantage of by Reyes be facing any charges under the law?
This obviously was not pointed out at all in this matter.
R. Cort Kirkwood at The New American writes, “The case against Reyes is hardly a surprise.”
Almost all asylum claims are bogus, as the Trump administration showed when it promulgated the Migrant Protection Protocols that require illegal aliens to remain in Mexico while awaiting a decision on those claims.
About “9 out of 10 asylum claims from Northern Triangle countries are ultimately found non-meritorious by federal immigration judges,” the administration fact sheet says. “Because of the court backlog and the impact of outdated laws and misguided court decisions, many of these individuals have disappeared into the country before a judge denies their claim and simply become fugitives.”
Yesterday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the protocols, also known as Remain in Mexico, will remain in force as the lawsuit that seeks to block them winds through lower federal courts.

(Washington, DC) Judicial Watch announced today that it filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the State Department for all text and other electronic messages of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin after discovering an email that strongly suggests Clinton used text messages for official business (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:20-cv-00441)).
In January 2020, Judicial Watch released emails that included an August 2011 email from Abedin to Clinton stating: “Sent you a couple of text messages.” The email was among other emails that had only recently been found by the FBI and produced to the State Department. Last week, a federal court criticized the State and Justice Departments for providing no explanation about how these emails were found at this late date:
State failed to fully explain the new emails’ origins when the Court directly questioned where they came from.
“Where are Hillary Clinton’s text messages?” asked Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “Judicial Watch uncovered the hidden Clinton emails and now we’ve uncovered that Secretary Clinton and her top aide Huma Abedin used text messages.”
Clinton has been caught in lie after lie after lie regarding her claims to have turned over all of her emails.
Judicial Watch reminds us, “Clinton repeatedly stated that the 55,000 pages of documents she turned over to the State Department in December 2014 included all of her work-related emails. In response to a court order in another Judicial Watch case, she declared under penalty of perjury that she had ‘directed that all my emails on clintonemail.com in my custody that were or are potentially federal records be provided to the Department of State, and on information and belief, this has been done.’”
So, how do you know when a Clinton is lying? When their lips are moving.
Isn’t it about time this woman and her criminal husband were dealt some real justice and treated like the treasonous people they are?
