DEMOCRAT CRIME SYNDICATES

Democrat crime syndicates prevail at the national, state, and local levels where the Democrat Party controls government. Discussion of and support for this statement requires the definition of crime, criminal, illegal, syndicate, and alien from the Merrium-Webster on-line dictionary. Crime is defined as “an illegal act for which someone can be punished by the government; criminal activity; a grave offense… against morality; [or] something reprehensible, foolish, or disgraceful.” The adjective criminal is defined as “relating to, involving, or being a crime; relating to crime or to the prosecution of suspects in a crime; [or] guilty of crime.” As a noun criminal is defined as “one who has committed a crime; [or] a person who has been convicted of a crime.” As an adjective, Illegal is defined as “not according to or authorized by law.” The relevant meanings of syndicate are defined as “a group of persons or concerns who combine to carry out a particular transaction or project; [and] a loose association of racketeers in control of organized crime….” The relevant meaning of alien as an adjective is, “relating, belonging, or owing allegiance to another country or government;” and as a noun, “a foreign-born resident who has not been naturalized and is still a subject or citizen of a foreign country.” In my opinion, these five words aptly describe the actions of Democrat Party controlled national, state, and local governments.

In addition to defining several of the terms used in this discussion, a couple sections of U.S. Code regarding immigration will help clarify this discussion. U.S. Code, Title 8, Chapter 12, Subchapter I, Section 1101, (a) (3) – Definitions; states, “The term ‘alien’ means any person not a citizen or national of the United States.” Section 1101 (a) (13) states, “The terms “admission” and “admitted” mean, with respect to an alien, the lawful entry of the alien into the United States after inspection and authorization by an immigration officer.” The term “illegal” does not appear as a term defined in this section of the U.S. Code. U.S. Code, Title 8, Chapter 12, Subchapter II, Part VIII, Section 1325, (a) – Improper entry by alien; states.

“IMPROPER TIME OR PLACE; AVOIDANCE OF EXAMINATION OR INSPECTION; MISREPRESENTATION AND CONCEALMENT OF FACTS. Any alien who (1) enters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers, or (2) eludes examination or inspection by immigration officers, or (3) attempts to enter or obtains entry to the United States by a willfully false or misleading representation or the willful concealment of a material fact, shall… be fined… or imprisoned….”

For “We the People,” this statute fails to describe the real legal nature of the statute’s meaning concerning violations of the statue.

When an “improper” act exposes the violator to fines and or imprisonment, the violator has committed an illegal act not an “improper” act. Merrium-Webster’s on-line dictionary for the definition of “improper” requires at least two steps to get to a word that describes any relationship to an act subject to fines and imprisonment, an illegal act. The steps are “improper,” the link to “incorrect,” and the link to “wrong.” Wrong is defined in part as, “an injurious, unfair, or unjust act; action or conduct inflicting harm without due provocation or just cause; and a violation or invasion of the legal rights of another [in this case the United States].” In addition, the word illegal does not yet appear as a synonym for any of these words. In contrast, the Merrium-Webster on-line dictionary defines the noun “illegal” as “not according to or authorized by law; [and] a person who enters or lives in a country without the documentation required for legal entry.” It is obvious, in my opinion, that the statute should start with “ILLEGAL TIME OR PLACE…” not “IMPROPER TIME OR PLACE….” In this regard, the statue deliberately avoided the term “illegal” because the progressive authors of the statute did not want “improper” aliens to have their first act when entering the United States to be defined as an illegal act. However, entries into the United Stares described in this statue are illegal acts by any definition that “We the People” would use to describe any other act punishable by fines and or imprisonment. People who enter the United States in violation of this statute are “illegal aliens” where “We the People” are concerned.

Where border security and immigration are concerned, Democrat Party controlled national, state, and local governments act as Democrat crime syndicates, in my opinion. When sanctuary laws or rules are established by state and local governments and the national government recognizes the sanctuary status of these governments, all three levels of government combine to act as Democrat crime syndicates. They are “a group of persons or concerns who combine to carry out a particular transaction or project [illegal immigration]; [and] a loose association of racketeers [government entities] in control of [the] organized crime [of illegal immigration]….” The combination of sanctuary government entities and the “open border” policies of the current Democrat Presidential administration enhances the idea that Democrat crime syndicates control border policy and immigration in our nation.

This invasion of illegal aliens is part of a long-term population transformation designed to change the demographics of our nation and increase the political power and influence of the Democrat Party. The most recent data shows that foreign-born workers are getting most of the jobs while native-born American employment is declining. Unfortunately, the Bureau of Labor Statistics does not distinguish between legal and illegal foreign-born workers but admits their data likely includes illegal immigrants. The chart below shows that the number of foreign-born members of the work force has increased at a greater rate than native born workers under the Biden Administration. This is highly correlated to the acceleration in illegal immigration. Since the current administration allow illegal aliens to be counted in the census, illegals increase the population count which increases representation in the U.S. House of Representatives and Electors in the Electoral college during Presidential elections increasing Democrat Party power over time.

Immigrants are more likely to be in the workforce than native-born citizens.

Unfortunately, the open border and invasion of illegal aliens also allows for the potential of criminal, terrorist, a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) operatives to enter our nation. Bethany Blankley’s on-line article, “Illegal border crossers total over 10 million since Biden inauguration,” demonstrates the magnitude of illegal alien border crossings during the Biden administration as follows:

“The number of people illegally entering the country surged after Biden and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas halted many preexisting border security policies, advanced sweeping parole and other policies to release the greatest number of illegal foreign nationals into the country, encouraged people from all over the world to use a phone app to enter the U.S., and facilitated U.S. entry application processes in foreign countries, among others.

Official U.S. Customs and Border Protection data includes 3,201,144 apprehensions in fiscal 2023; 2,766,582 in fiscal 2022; 1,956,519 in fiscal 2021; and 471,954 in the nine months Biden was in office in fiscal 2020. Combined, official apprehensions total 8,396,199.

They exclude gotaway data… obtained from a Border Patrol agent who provides it and other information on condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation….

In fiscal 2021, there were at least 308,655 known, reported gotaways; in fiscal 2022, 606,150 were reported. According to preliminary data obtained by The Center Square, Border Patrol agents reported at least 769,174 gotaways at the southwest border alone….

However, even those are considered a best estimate because they exclude unknown and unreported gotaways…. Law enforcement officials have said they have no idea how many gotaways there are in the U.S., or who or where they are….

Since January 2021, total illegal border crossers apprehended nationwide were 8,396,198. Combined with at least 1,678,979 gotaways, the number increases to over 10 million (at least 10,075,177)….

Among them are 1,586 known, suspected terrorists (KSTs) who were apprehended in fiscal years 2020-2023….

They also apprehended the greatest number of criminal noncitizens in U.S. history, totaling nearly 50,000. This number excludes the tens of thousands of criminal noncitizens arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials and an unknown number arrested by local and state law enforcement officers.”

According to the above data, 0.6% of the illegal aliens apprehended by Border Patrol were known terrorists or criminals which means that at least 10,200 known “gotaways” were probably terrorists or criminals. However, the “gotaways” who got away did not want to be caught because they were probably terrorists or criminals. Thus, it is not unreasonable to conclude that most, not 0.6% but conservatively 50% or 850,000 of the “gotaways” were terrorists or criminals. Consequently, the Biden administration “[combined] to carry out a particular transaction or project [illegal immigration]… [with] a loose association of… organized [criminals]….” making this administration one of many Democrat crime syndicates operating in the United States today.

This activity indirectly supports and finances Mexican cartel activities in both the United States and Mexico. In Mexico, cartels control the flow of illegal aliens to our southern border, manufacture of illegal drugs including fentanyl, movement of these drugs throughout Mexico and the United States, human trafficking, prostitution, and other cartel activities in both nations. In addition, the illegal activities of Chinese Triad criminal organization’s human trafficking, prostitution, and illegal marijuana operation labor supplies and distribution of the illegal marijuana are facilitated by our open borders and failure to enforce immigration laws. During the Biden Administration, over 20,000 Chinese illegal aliens, mostly military aged men, have crossed our Southern border. These Chinese men were allowed to leave China with the approval, and probably support, of the CCP. Consequently, the collusion between Democrat Party led national, state, and local governments regarding the invasion of the United States by illegal aliens, including Mexican cartel, Central and South American gangs, Chinese Triad gang members, illegal drug and marijuana manufacture and sales, and human trafficking fits the definition of Democrat crime syndicates.

Where the Democrat Party controls state and local governments, prosecutors, and the judiciary, Democrat crime syndicates are generally the rule. In states or localities, like California, that allow ballot initiatives to institute changes to the law both the government and the voters collude to form Democrat crime syndicates. In these jurisdictions, governors, legislatures, mayors, county and city commissions, etc., reduce many “non-violent” felonies to misdemeanors, reduce or eliminate bail requirements for many crimes, including some violent assaults, drastically increase the value of theft crimes qualifying as felonies, and eliminate mandatory minimum sentencing and fines for many categories of crime.   In addition, many Democrat prosecutors refuse to prosecute cases allowing perpetrators to go free and uncharged. Actions of this nature result in crime statistics that show reductions in criminal activity.

“We the People” generally consider “squatters” as criminals. Unfortunately, most Democrat Party controlled jurisdictions consider “squatters” as violators of civil rather than criminal law. Consequently, “squatters” are categorized as renters not trespassers and given the same rights as actual tenants. Owners must pursue eviction in civil courts which can take months or years, and hundreds to thousands of dollars in legal fees, to remove the “squatters” from their property. Unfortunately, “squatters” often have no regard for the place where they “squat” causing hundreds even thousands of dollars in damage to the property. Often, “squatters” turn the property into illegal drug distribution centers, human trafficking distribution centers, or houses of prostitution. On the other hand, if the will of most of “We the People” in the United States was reflected in new landlord tenant laws, “squatters” would be treated as the criminal trespassers that they are, removed expeditiously as criminals, and fined or imprisoned appropriately. Therefore, such local and state governments controlled by the Democrat Party “[combine] to carry out a particular transaction or project [“squatter’s” rights]… [with] a loose association of… organized [criminal “squatters”]” making these jurisdictions Democrat crime syndicates.

BIDEN IS NO “RALPHY”

A young boy in a winter coat and hat.President Biden Is no Ralphy. In the Christmas Movie Classic A CHRISTMAS STORY, Ralphy finally stood up to the bully ending the bully’s reign of terror. Ralphy finally dictated the terms of engagement to the bully on the playground, but Biden has not demonstrated his willingness to dictate the terms of engagement in Putin’s Russian invasion and war against Ukraine.

Biden is afraid of Putin and will not provide all weapons systems necessary for the Ukrainians to effectively defend Ukraine against the Russians, specifically Mig-29 fighter jets offered by Poland, Patriot anti-missile weapon system, and sophisticated anti-aircraft missile systems fully capable of downing Russian fighter jets. Ukrainian fighters are holding their own in the ground war, but Russian air power and missile systems are causing extensive civilian casualties and infrastructure destruction. Biden will not release the full force of the United States petroleum industry to dictate the oil supply by flooding the market and making US petroleum products available to replace or drastically reduce European dependance of Russian petroleum products, thus crippling the Russian oil industry and economy. The Biden Administration has followed the leaders of Europe regarding economic sanctions. The Administration should be clear in establishing strong secondary sanctions against all nations, including China and Iran, that support Russia and its war. Currently, the Administration’s foreign policy, Ukrainian war policy, and energy policy all show that Biden is no Ralphy.

Ralphy finally grew a pair. The question is, will Joe? If not, We the People will know that Buden is no Ralphy.

PROGRESSIVES PREFER MURDER’S OIL

A man with his hands crossed in front of him.Progressives prefer murder’s oil over America’s oil. More specifically, the left, communists, socialists, progressives, liberals, and Democrats prefer murder’s oil over oil drilled and refined in the United States. This is based on the actions, not the rhetoric, of the left including progressives. Since oil is financing much of Putin’s Russian war against Ukraine, the west, especially the United States, needs to cut off all sales of Russian and their allies oil on world markets. This must include removal of Russian and their allies oil transactions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications (SWIFT) system. The Biden Administration is sending representatives or third-party negotiators, like Russia, to try to negotiate increased oil production for export to the United States from murderous dictators in counties like Iran, Saudi Aribia, and Venezuela. The Administration, including the President, is also unsuccessfully requesting increased oil exports from other Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) like the United Arab Emirates. These actions show that the Biden Administration and progressives prefer murder’s oil over America’s oil.

The Biden administration and progressives think the We the People of the United States are to stupid to understand that all greenhouse gases are the same regardless of the source of the carbon during their transition to renewable energy. Progressives also believe that energy inflation is an acceptable tool to reduce carbon energy use in the United States. Perhaps the Biden Administration and progressives are the stupid ones. They believe that it is economically sound to pay other countries, many controlled by murderous dictators, for oil. This strategy also ships good paying oil jobs to foreign countries robing We the People of these good paying jobs. Our enemies, both military and economic, use energy as a weapon. Progressives and the Biden Administration fail to understand that the United States, with the largest energy reserves in the world, especially our petroleum reserves, should use energy as a weapon to crippler or destroy the economies of our enemies, especially Russia which invaded Ukraine without provocation and is committing unprecedented war crimes against the Ukrainian people.

Unfortunately, for the United States and the world, the Biden Administration, from the President to Cabinet Secretaries and regulators in the Environmental Protection Agency, The Federal Reserve System, banking, treasury, commerce, energy, and transportation at virtually every level have stated their intent to eliminate carbon-based energy produced in the United States, especially petroleum, as quickly as possible. Â This policy eliminates the possibility of using our petroleum as a weapon against tyrants like Putin and his nation Russia. The policy also guarantees continued gas price inflation into the future, at least 2024, unless Republicans win veto proof House and Senate majorities in the 2022 elections. The energy policy of the Biden Administration demonstrates that Biden and progressives prefer murder’s oil over America’s oil.

Hopefully, Putin’s Russian invasion, war, and war crimes against Ukraine and its people will show the freedom loving, independent, democratic people of the world that that murderous dictators like Putin cannot be tolerated any longer. The free world should unite to destroy the economies of dictatorships, like Putin’s, before they have the economic power to wage wars like Putin’s Russian war against Ukraine. To accomplish this goal, the free democratic countries of the world must be unified economically by enacting true free trade agreements which excludes the dictatorships of the world.

The Biden Administration’s energy and foreign policies plans are totally inept, short sighted, and strategically lacking. The potential wars of the future are not being considered by this administration, progressives, and globalists. The Biden Administration does not understand that China and Russia are uniting to wage the current and upcoming economic energy wars. When the Biden Administration acted to immediately curtail carbon-based energy production, primarily petroleum, in the United States, Russia, the world’s third largest petroleum producer, could finance its invasion and war against Ukraine with oil revenue from the United States and the rest of the world. This was because we reduced Unites States oil production and became an importer rather than an exporter of oil. Our reduction in production reduced global supply and increased the global market price for oil increasing Russian oil profits. More actions demonstrating that progressives prefer murder’s oil over America’s oil.

In addition, the Biden Administration lacks foreign, environmental, and energy policies that ensure the long-term ability to secure the rare earth minerals and capacity to produce the Lithium-ion batteries needed to power the electric vehicles that they are forcing on We the People in the United States. However, Tesla does manufacture its lithium-ion batteries in their Panasonic plant in California. The minerals needed to produce lithium-ion batteries are lithium, graphite, nickel, cobalt, manganese, copper, and aluminum (bauxite). According to United States Geological Survey information summarized in the article, Where do batteries come  from? And where do they go?, the natural reserves of these minerals in the United States do not rank among the top five countries of the world. In contrast, China is among the top three producers of lithium, graphite, copper, and aluminum (bauxite), and the United States is not listed as a top producers of these minerals in the world. Additionally, according to the 2020 United Nations publication using 2018 data, COMMODITIES AT A GLANCE Special issue on strategic battery raw materials, Commodities at a Glance: Special issue on strategic battery raw materials (unctad.org), China controls trade of critical duratives of the world lithium, cobalt and manganese supplies by aggressive import of raw materials and refined exports and produces most of the world’s graphite. The 2019 article, How Electric Car Batteries Are Made: From Mining To Driving states that mining lithium and cobalt causes harmful environmental pollution, and cobalt mines in the Congo use child labor with extremely low wages and deplorable conditions. The Biden Administration foreign, environmental, and energy policies do not provide a long term strategy to secure supplies of the essential minerals needed to produce lithium-ion batteries in the United States. This failure will make our electronic vehicle industry supply chain issues controlled by military and economic enemies, especially China. Just as progressives prefer murder’s oil over America’s oil, progressives prefer enemy murder’s lithium-ion battery mineral supplies over America’s and our ally friend’s lithium-ion mineral supplies.

PROGRESSIVES PREFER BLOOD OVER OIL

A group of soldiers running through the dirt.Progressives prefer blood over oil. More specifically, the left, communists, socialists, progressives, liberals, and Democrats prefer blood over oil. This is based on the actions, not the rhetoric, of the left including progressives. Since oil is financing much of Putin’s Russian war against Ukraine, the west, especially the United States, needs to cut off all sales of Russian and their allies’ oil on world markets. This must include removal of Russian and their allies’ oil transactions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications (SWIFT) system. This step would eliminate most of Russia’s oil exports as a source of financing Putin’s Russian war against Ukraine. It would also further strangle the Russian economy. This would require the Biden Administration to reverse its restrictive oil policies and return the United States to an oil exporter, not an oil importer. This action could eliminate oil imports from Russia and its allies to the United States and our allies, especially Europe. Failure to take this step will prove that progressives prefer blood over oil; and the Biden Administration, by its inaction, prefers Ukrainian blood over oil.

Progressives claim that the United States must transition from carbon energy, oil and coal, to renewable energy to save the planet at all costs, including the blood of Ukrainians. Progressives want the United States to reduce our carbon use unilaterally when they will not require the largest carbon users in the world, Russia, China, and India, to reduce their use as a precondition to reductions by the United States. Without global cooperation, the claimed reduction in greenhouse gases contributed by the United States will have an insignificant affect in reducing greenhouse gases without reductions by the world’s worst polluters. Progressives fail to understand that the United States and the world will use the same amount of carbon energy including oil during their transition regardless of the source of the oil. Progressives also believe that energy inflation is an acceptable tool to reduce carbon energy use in the United States. This is another variant of the idea that progressives prefer blood over oil because they prefer the suffering of the poor and middle class over oil. For the poor and middle class, energy inflation causses them to choose between energy and food, medicine, or other necessities. Energy inflation is like a regressive tax that adversely affects those who can least afford the added costs.

With this in mind, why should the United States pay other countries, many our enemies, for our energy when we can produce it ourselves? Imported oil also includes the added cost of tanker and other high cost means of transport of oil further raising the price of gasoline at the pump. Therefore, the United States must become energy independent, and help eliminate the need for the United States and our allies to import Russian and its allies’ oil. If the Biden Administration does not change its policies to eliminate Russian oil imports and return the United States to an energy exporter and help Europe to become far less dependent on Russian energy, then we will know that progressives prefer blood over oil by their actions.

THE OBAMA BIDEN FAILURES: AFGHANISTAN AND 9/11

 

A group of men in white and black outfits.
A large fire and smoke cloud is coming from the top of the twin towers.

The Obama Biden failures in Afghanistan will gut punch the world, especially We the People of the United States of America on 9/11/2021. This will be the twentieth anniversary of the Islamic terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, on the United States. On September 11, 2021, the terrorist Taliban will inaugurate their Afghan government while we commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the Islamic terrorist attacks on our nation planned by Al Qaida from Afghanistan under the protection of the Taliban. The sickening juxtaposition of these two events infuriates me.

A collage of pictures with the president and his military service.

Obama traded Sargent Bowe Bergdahl for five high ranking Taliban members who were being held at Guantanamo Bay detention center in Cuba. Bergdahl, a treasonous traitor, pled guilty to desertion and misbehavior before the enemy. He was demoted to a private, fined, and Dishonorably Discharged; but not imprisoned. Obama and his Administration naively assured We the People of the United States that none of the five would return to Afghanistan and the Taliban. The entire Obama administration was wrong, including Biden and his current Secretary of State, Blinken who was a key player in the misguided negotiations for the Taliban Five trade. Four of the five Taliban terrorists released in the trade for the traitor Bergdahl are again high-ranking leaders in the new Taliban government of Afghanistan, the first of the Obama Biden failures.

The second of the Obama Biden failures was the disastrous withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan. The withdrawal of troops to the Kabul airport occurred before US citizens and legal residents, Afghanis with Special Immigrant Visas who assisted allied forces in the war on terror in Afghanistan, and other vulnerable Afghanis were evacuated stranding hundreds to thousands of these people behind enemy Taliban terrorist lines. Estimates for stranded Americans range from 100 to 550 people. The result is that we must negotiate with Taliban terrorists to free these Americans and the others. Contrary to longstanding American military tradition, Biden left Americans and the others behind enemy lines stranding them creating a high potential for a hostage crisis.

A collage of pictures with the president and his military service.

The Obama Biden failures also include the fact that they did not complete the trial of 9/11 master mind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. In March 2007 testimony, he said, “I was responsible for the 9/11 operation, from A to Z. In a pre-trial hearing prior to the Obama inauguration in 2009, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his four co-defendants indicated the that they would plead guilty to all 9/11 charges knowing that they faced the death penalty. Mohammed noted that he had been looking to “be a martyr for long time.” The trial was never held because Obama had campaigned on closing Guantanamo Bay. The trial was delayed because of a long-failed attempt to close Guantanamo, subsequent Supreme Court rulings, and legal maneuvers by court appointed defense attorneys. These delays prevented the trial and execution of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his co-conspirators, another of the Obama Biden failures. Consequently, two decades after the 9/11 attacks, the master mind of the attacks has not faced justice. He will be happy that his friends the Taliban will hold the inauguration of their new Afghan Taliban government on the twentieth anniversary of his greatest success, the 9/11 attacks on the United States of America.

Given these three colossal Obama Biden failures, it will be difficult for me to listen to the song, I’m proud to be an American, on 9/11, 2021. This year it’s tuff to be proud of the Biden America.
