PREFATORY NOTE So Greg Abbott, the Texas Governor, capitalising on the "migrant invasion" hysteria, is now toying with secession, to the acclaim of more than two dozen fellow Governors and tens of millions of Americans from Texas to Alaska. Sensing blood in the water given Biden's stunning number of deficits and boondoggles, including a major personal scandal and three active wars and more in the offing, Abbot has decided to throw down the gauntlet and defy Biden's Constitutional prerogatives. His complaint is unequivocally rebellious, if not seditious. But Abbot doesn't have his head in the clouds. There IS a big migrant crisis, and it is something that the US government, as a whole, in its Federal suit, should be dealing with. But it doesn't. Under Biden, with his obsession to shovel bllions to Ukraine, Israel and other self-created imperialist flashpoints, the neglect of this crisis has become an insult. Hence the Txas Governor's letter: The federal government has broken the compact between the United States and the States. The Executive Branch of the United States has a constitutional duty to enforce federal laws protecting States, including immigration laws on the books right now. President Biden has refused to enforce those laws and has even violated them. The result is that he has smashed records for illegal immigration. Despite having been put on notice in a series of letters—one of which I delivered to him by hand—President Biden has ignored Texas’s demand that he perform his constitutional duties.
So what is causing all these impertinent masses of people to trek all the way North to storm our Southern ramparts and disrupt our supposedly idyllic existence in LaLa Land? Politicians and professional patriots are noisily rending their garments at the intrusion, but no one in this furious lot is much interested in asking about the actual causes of this disaster.
Trump, of course, has never been too lucid or precise in his diatribes, let alone a genuine friend of truth and justice, not to mention his aversion to books, which may have something to do with his massive, largely unchallenged social and political illiteracy, but, like the rest of the abominably ignorant and chauvinist US political class, he has a 12-mile wide streak of demagogic opportunism. Trump (as does Abbott) knows that many Americans are scared of the rapidly growing "brown horde" crashing America's southern border, and he aims to exploit this enormous human crisis as one of his catapults to personal power. So far he has done quite well with it and there are no signs he may soon abandon it (nor are there reasonable signs that this problem will go away on its own). But all human crises of this magnitude have deep roots, and in this case, the cause is like the legendary pink elephant in the living room, you can't miss it, unless you stubbornly refuse to look. Could this mess actually be connected with America's immaculately conceived foreign policy? The inevitable wages of Supremacy, Exceptionalism and Imperialism Filled with typically racist Anglo contempt for the "inferior" civilisations living South of the "Rio Grand" (the cultures impregnated by Southern European powers), and sitting on immensely rich natural lands they obviously could not possibly deserve, USians, ever since they got organised as a new nation with a mechanism to project power, set about to systematically and cold-bloodedly destroy sovereignty throughout Latin America and the Caribbean (treating the latter as an American lake). Intimidation, overt meddling, regime change ops, civil wars, diplomatic isolation, economic sanctions, and outright invasions have been routine in these martyred lands, and the upshot is what anyone could logically expect: highly dysfunctional lands mired in perennial poverty and civil strife, despite their colossal natural resources. This is the root cause of this tsunami of migrants who, ironically, seek relief in the land that caused their misery. Notably, until recently, almost the entire establishment, from academics to media and the professional apologists for US power, were united in denying the very existence of an American Empire. America did not have an empire, they assured us, using, apparently the same wavelength they use when telling us the US doesn't really have a working class (an obsolete and useless commie classification favored only by malcontents): the US only has a big middle class, period. Not even a ruling class, nah, this is a nation of proud commoners. Some just happen to have a bit more than the others. And the proof of this excellent state is that EVERYONE wants to be in America. The ugly reality of Empire is however a huge fact to hide, and eventually it had to be admitted. John Gerassi, a bold intellectual, and onetime journalist with Newsweek (fired therefrom for ideological insubordination), had a few choice words to say about this matter in a must-read essay he wrote in the late 1960s.
The Disheveled Invaders at the Gates Broken nations, or nations undergoing insufferable conditions (vide Ireland and India under the British boot), have a way of ejecting sizable portions of their populations. The White Empire, once led by Spain, Britain and France, and since 1945 by the US, has indeed broken scores of nations around the world to better exploit their natural and human resources. In the 21st century it has finally begun to reap, big time, what it sowed. The US is indeed facing a complicated human crisis, trying to deflect and opportunistically accommodate a human flood that in a couple of decades might change the complexion of the culture from top to bottom with unforeseen consequences, (a cynic might say probably for the better), considering the rotten state of US society at this point. The same is true for Europe, the vainglorious West Asian peninsula that likes to think itself "different" and superior to the East and America itself. Technically, the womb of capitalism, colonialism and its accursed spawn, US imperialism, Europe has a long resume of vicious plunder. Now, however, weakened by Washington's policies of de facto occupation, cannibalisation, and constant wars, Europe is facing a problematic future. Thanks to the US Hegemon's depraved wars in the Middle East and Africa—conflicts supported by Europe's Quislings in Britain, France and the rest of the NATO gang—the region is currently not only economically imploding—as the case of pathetic Germany, illustrates—but awash in millions of migrants widely regarded (and resented) by the natives as "disruptive outsiders". This particular crisis will not improve much when proudly "Aryan white" Ukraine finally collapses in the near future and bestows on Europe a few more millions of displaced people with deep physical and psychological wounds, not to mention a sizable portion of fascist psychos well versed in the art of social mayhem. |
❌ Greg Abbott Urged To 'Fully Militarize' Texas State Guard To Counter Biden
A leading Texan nationalist has urged Governor Greg Abbott to dramatically expand and militarize the Texas State Guard if President Biden federalizes the Texas National Guard, as some Democrats are demanding, in response to the ongoing border crisis.
Posting on X, formerly Twitter, Daniel Miller, president of the Texas Nationalist Movement (TNM) which campaigns for the Lone Star State to declare independence from the U.S., called on Abbott to radically expand the State Guard and place them along the Mexican border if the National Guard is federalized.
He said: "If Biden federalizes the Texas National Guard, Greg Abbott should immediately throw enlistment in the Texas State Guard WIDE OPEN, fully militarize them, and deploy them as a Border Protection Force along the entire border."
Newsweek
In 2021, an astonishing 66% of Southern Republicans and 50% of independents were in favor of secession. The West Coast also showed strong support for secession but of a different political flavor, this time being mostly supported by Democrats.
In this sense, the U.S. is already in more of a precarious situation than the USSR was in early 1991…

I am all for secession of the different US states. Small states do not have the means to start big and nasty wars. They keep quiet like Switzerland and The Nordic countries. It takes a big bully to wage war. Yes, Europe was a major colonialist, but so was Egypt and Alexandrian Greece while the ancient great Chinese empire did its own harm. The colonization of the Americas was a sordid affair, full of conquest and killings, repeated in Protestant fashion in Northern America. But something has changed since the French revolution, an awareness of their oppression by the masses,… Read more »
PS To explain, European colonialism always had a murderous racist content. But the early US settlers formed villages and small towns which were for their populations democratic and run more or less by common consent. That changed drastically when the rich landowners started the Federal Republic. They wanted regulation and control, which was far more difficult to do than if the US had been a European country. The settlers or rather squatters in the new land felt free of European laws and restrictions and were hard to be bound into a restrictive state, reason for the creation of such as… Read more »
