“ICE is made up of white males who were similar to Hitler’s brown shirts of the 30’s. They were disaffected by the results of the reparations of WWI, and felt powerless. 47 has given them purpose, which is extremely dangerous.”
I won’t disclose the identity of the person who wrote this because this is one of the most embarrassing things I’ve ever heard anybody say (hint: it is a Facebook user from Green Bay, Wisconsin). But it’s the premise in operation on the progressive side. As I have shown on this platform, rank-and-file progressives don’t deal in logical argumentation or facts; it’s all emotion and hyperbole with them. But those who control them know it’s a fallacious premise. There is no comparison to be made here. Hitler was a white supremacist who was eliminating ethnic and racialized minorities who had long been part of the German nation.
Addressing the factual claims made in the quote, the reality is that 45 percent of ICE agents are, to use the Democrat term of art, “people of color.” About 20 percent of ICE agents are Hispanic. Another 20 percent are black. And 5 percent Asian. Essentially, the argument is that Orange Hitler has a racially and ethically diverse paramilitary force rounding up your neighbors. Weird for a Nazi, don’t you think? It’s absurd on its face.
To appreciate the absurdity of this way of thinking to its full extent, let’s hook up these facts to some other facts. I don’t know if readers know this (I have documented this on this platform), but Trump has a very poor record when it comes to deportation. Barack Obama, the president most beloved by progressives, deported far more illegal aliens than Trump. (See What Lies Behind the Double Standard on Deportations? for a detailed analysis. See also Mass Immigration—Double Standard? Or a More Intensive Phase of Globalization?)
We’re not talking here about turnarounds at the border. We’re talking about going into American cities, identifying illegal aliens embedded in communities, and detaining and deporting them. Obama removed more ensconced illegal aliens than either Bill Clinton or George Bush. The thought of a Black Hitler with a racially and ethically diverse paramilitary apparatus forcibly rounding up your neighbors and deporting them is a difficult one to form in a rational mind, I know, but that’s apparently what happened—if we are consistent.
This brings us to another memory-holed fact. The recent news that has progressives running around with their hair on fire is that the ICE budget under Trump is greater than all the other federal law enforcement agencies combined. That might sound like a remarkable fact, except that that was also true under Obama.
Everything novel is ordinary. Only the perception is different. Donald Trump is Orange Hitler. Barack Obama is the most wonderful president of them all. Never mind that Black Hitler bombed and regime-changed the crap out of black and brown people around the world—even drone bombed American citizens. The Obama family portrait appears on social media platforms and the nostalgia hits hard: “Gosh, if we could just go back to this time.” Right, yes, because then we could deport millions of illegal aliens and progressives wouldn’t be out in the street showing their ass, attacking cops, and raving about Hitler.
But what about “Show your papers?” Isn’t that the master sign? Isn’t an ICE officer asking for papers “Naziism”? In the alternative universe progressives live in, sure, I guess. But in the real world? No. Not even close. If you’re an immigrant, you are required to carry proof of immigration status. There is no inherent right to be in the United States unless you are a citizen (even then, if you’re a naturalized citizen, you can be denaturalized and deported for cause).
Similar to the requirement during a traffic stop to present one’s driver’s license and vehicle registration (and, in 49 of 50 states and Washington DC, proof of insurance) , an individual over the age of 18 who is lawfully detained and suspected of being unlawfully present in the United States is required to produce immigration documents. 8 U.S.C. § 1304(e): “Every alien, eighteen years of age and over, shall at all times carry with him and have in his personal possession any certificate of alien registration.” The Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination does not protect a detainee from disclosing their immigration status.
This is not an invention of the Trump Administration. It is a long-standing immigration law, upheld by the Supreme Court. If you’re telling immigrants that they don’t have to provide immigration status to an ICE agent, then you’re not only making ICE’s job more difficult (which you are not allowed to do), but you’re also making the life of those illegal present more difficult by increasing the likelihood that they will resist the officer, which puts them at risk of harm and further charges. It also puts the officer at risk, which we have all seen.
I hear that the RINOs (“Republicans in name only”) are telling Trump that he should back down and talk about amnesty. Wasn’t that the plan all along—foment rebellion against the federal government, force Trump to act, accuse him of authoritarianism, and confirm the false premise that Trump is a Nazi? But the historical comparison is not 1930s Germany. It’s the 1860s United States (see The New Confederates and the Return of States’ Rights). The Democrats are in rebellion against the Union. Tim Walz, Jacob Frey, JB Pritzker, Brandon Johnson—they’re leading an insurrection against the federal government. They’ve even turned the children against the Republic—the second coming of Mao’s Red Guard—closing schools and leading them in protests. That loudly tells us that it’s time to once more bring down the hammer. Send the military to Minneapolis. We cannot tolerate civil war. mae an example of Walz and Frey.
The MSM is warning its audience that Trump will invoke the Insurrection Act to declare martial law and stop the mid-term elections. They’re spreading mass psychogenic madness. The Act exists because it is necessary (which is why Democrats endeavor to weaken its authority; see Posse Comitatus and the Ghosts of Redemption). 10 USC §§ 331-335, Sec. 332, concerning the use of militia and armed forces to enforce federal authority: “Whenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any State by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, he may call into Federal service such of the militia of any State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to enforce those laws or to suppress the rebellion.”
Sec. 333, elaborates: “The President, by using the militia or the armed forces, or both, or by any other means, shall take such measures as he considers necessary to suppress, in a State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy, if it—(1) so hinders the execution of the laws of that State, and of the United States within the State, that any part or class of its people is deprived of a right, privilege, immunity, or protection named in the Constitution and secured by law, and the constituted authorities of that State are unable, fail, or refuse to protect that right, privilege, or immunity, or to give that protection; or (2) opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws. In any situation covered by clause (1), the State shall be considered to have denied the equal protection of the laws secured by the Constitution.”
The mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, the beta male who wept before the golden coffin of the persistent life-course criminal offender George Floyd, has said the quiet part out loud: two governments are at war with each other. “We are in a position right now that we have residents that are asking the very limited number of police officers that we have to fight ICE officers on the street,” Frey said, to the astonishment of the city’s police chief Brian O’Hara standing beside him. “We cannot be at a place right now in America where we have two governmental entities that are literally fighting one another. Why are we put in this position?”
The answer to the question is not the one Frey gives. The reason for the conflict is straightforward: Democrats are obstructing the federal government in its obligation to secure the integrity of the American Republic and to protect American citizens and legal residents.
In this war, there can be only one victor: the Union. Traitors cannot be allowed to win. Ever. The Supremacy Clause in Article VI, Clause 2 of the US Constitution declares that the Constitution, federal statutes, and treaties constitute the “supreme Law of the Land.” Federal authority overrides any conflicting state laws or constitutions. Moreover, it binds state judges to apply federal law. By establishing federal preemption—where federal law prevails in cases of conflict—the clause is a foundational element of American federalism, promoting national unity and consistent enforcement of law across all states.
This isn’t fascism. This is constitutional republicanism. This is what democracy looks like. This is foundational law, applied in many circumstances across the nation’s history to save the nation from those who undermine the authority of the federal government. (See Our Constitution and the Federal Authority to Quell Rebellion; Concerning the Powers of The US Constitution—And Those Defying Them.)
“Americans hate what’s going on in Minneapolis,” the polls say. “They think Trump is too heavy-handed.” How did the rebellion against the American Republic work out for Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern and his party in 1972? What did Richard Nixon say about the “great silent majority of my fellow Americans” in that November 3, 1969, televised address—the majority that gave him the largest popular-vote margin for a Republican nominee in US presidential history? Beware the polls, Democrats. Ask why they’ve consistenly wrong for you for so long. The polls, lawfare, assassination attempts—none of this stopped the people from returning Donald Trump to the White House.
“But ICE is shooting people in the streets!” The police kill between 1,000 and 1,300 civilians every year, the vast majority of them US citizens. Whether the police were prepared to kill “one of their own” was never a question. You know what got those citizens killed? They threatened the lives of others. Why should it be different for those who are not our own? These are not our neighbors. They come here and establish ethnic enclaves. From their sanctuaries, they defraud and subvert the United States—more accurately: Democrats use foreigners to defraud and subvert the United States. (See Do Actions Have Consequences? Double Standards on Liberty and Separation.)
Those fatalities and injuries are legally justifiable because they occur in response to a perceived threat to the safety of law enforcement and the public. On average, fewer than eight police officers per year are charged with manslaughter, and very few of those cases result in convictions. As for the deaths occurring in the context of immigration enforcement, Renee Good, an American citizen, tried to run over an ICE agent. He defended himself. He almost certainly won’t be charged with manslaughter—but Renee’s partner, Becca, likely will. (See Loretta and Richard: The Renee Good Shooting and Correct Attribution of Blame.)
The three men—Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, Alfredo Alejandro Ajorna, and Gabriel Alejandro Hernandez-Ledezma—who attacked an ICE agent in north Minneapolis were Venezuelan nationals; all three are in the United States without legal status. Sosa-Celis, the target of the operation, fled a traffic stop, crashed his vehicle, and struggled with an ICE agent, after which Ajorna and Hernandez-Ledezma emerged from a nearby apartment armed with shovels and broom handles and joined the attack. The men struck the agent, leading the agent to fire a defensive shot that wounded Sosa-Celis. Sosa-Celis was shot in the leg. Isn’t that what progressives want? “Why can’t officers shoot them in the legs (or tires)?” There you go. And still they scream “oppression!”
What we see is a handful of shootings taken from a universe of shootings and presented as an extraordinary event. Renee Good’s case isn’t the first time a woman has been shot by police because she weaponized her vehicle. And Kamikaze Karens aren’t the only ones weaponizing cars against ICE agents. The two individuals shot by border control agents in Portland, Oregon, Luis David Nico-Moncada and Yorlenys Betzabeth Zambrano-Contreras, both Venezuelan nationals in the US, weaponized their vehicle against the agents. Both are associated with Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan transnational criminal gang. See a pattern? Get the corporate state media out of your headspace, and you likely will.
Despite the fall of legacy media, the propaganda organ of the globalists, The New York Times, most notably, still has enormous influence in America—indeed, in the world. They’ve even deluded European observers (who are themselves rapidly losing their nations). China and Russia are eating it up. The reporters of the MSM have seen the videos. They know the facts. They know what the videos and facts show. They’re gaslighting the public. You’re being told to disbelieve what you see plainly before your eyes. George Orwell’s words in Nineteen Eighty-Four haunt us: “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” But, like the devil, the Party only has the power you give it.
The corporate state media is highlighting these particular cases, which are a tiny fraction of the total, because they are pushing an anti-American narrative and using weaponized empathy to mobilize the brainwashed (see Poet Mother v. ICE Barbie: The Art of Emotional Manipulation). They’re turning the public against their own nation. See what you see. (“Hey, Ma. The Zombies are Marching Again.”)
“Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.” Have you heard this (commonly attributed to G. Michael Hopf, from his 2016 novel Those Who Remain)? They say it’s not always true. But it’s true enough. Beta males and Kamikaze Karens are determined to stop the strong from making the nation great again by making the government weak. Did a weak nation win the Civil War and WWII? How did Americans build the freest and most technologically advanced country in modern history? With weakness? (See Wokedom and the Problem of Lethal Altruism.)
We’re better than this, comrades. The rank-and-file progressive needs to go home and let patriots save a nation. They can watch history unfold on their screens. If they won’t, then the federal government must make them. This isn’t the Civil Rights struggle. Social justice is a cover for the managed decline of the American Republic. The left has been co-opted and deranged.
“Toxic masculinity!” Whatever. It’s toxic empathy that’ll bring down a nation. We can’t let this happen. Send in the troops.
