“The Eve of Destruction” Biden’s Immigration Policy

 Don't you understand, what I'm trying to say?

Can't you feel the fears that I'm feeling today?

Take a look around you, boy, it's bound to scare you, boy

And you tell me over and over and over again my friend

Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction

Eve Of Destruction (1965)

It has taken a while for America’s oblivious Main Stream Media (MSM) to begin to comprehend that bringing in millions of undocumented aliens to boost the Democratic voter roles may not be as great an idea as once thought when it also brings in communicable diseases. 

The Biden Administration is running Obama’s playbook for the destruction of a free America. One ruled not by laws but by tyrants; both the bureaucratic and judicial types. 

Opening up the southern border to communicable diseases, Mexican Drug Cartels, and Islamic Jihadists hasn’t deterred the Biden Administration and Democratic members of Congress. So now Mr. Biden permits and dare I say encourages, the introduction of communicable diseases, to the United States and the North American Continent without deterrence.

The CDC, it should be noted, was originally an agency within the U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS). The USPHS was founded in 1798. Its earliest mission was the care of sick and disabled seamen in USPHS-established hospitals. But more significantly to the matter at hand, in 1878, the USPHS mission was expanded to take on control of infectious diseases, including quarantine, which previously had been a state function. As immigration increased, in the late 19th century, the USPHS took on the responsibility.

Yet today, millions of illegal immigrants cross our borders without even a cursory examination of their medical condition. I guess the Biden Administration did not get the memo on who is responsible in this county to evaluate and if necessary quarantine and deny admission to an individual for communicable diseases. That was not meant as a joke.

Finally, we are lectured that the American public should be compassionate with these people who only want to improve their lives for themselves and their children. Well, we have we heard that “compassion” thing a lot these past 3 years. Nevertheless, why has the Biden Administration turned a blind eye to U.S. Code, Section 34.3 of 42 CFR Part 34[1]? Should not Mr. Biden be concerned that thousands of illegal immigrants are coming across our borders with infectious diseases such as drug-resistant tuberculosis; COVID-19; hepatitis A and B; sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) - gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, trichomoniasis, chlamydia; mumps; chickenpox; dengue fever; etc. 

However, these diseases are not just confined to border states, as illegal aliens are systematically dispersed across the nation, it becomes a potentially perilous danger for the entire nation. 

Still, the Powers To Be tells us not to worry. The United States Public Health Service, Centers for Disease Control (CDC), National Institute of Health (NIH), The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID); et al, will be there to ensure our safety. Never mind that just in the recent past, the NIH, CDC, and NIAID: 

1. Mishandled live anthrax;

2. Misplaced live smallpox;

3. Mislabeled influenza virus that had been cross-contaminated 

  with the highly deadly H5NI strain of bird flu.

4. Destroyed America’s confidence in its ability to fight infectious diseases in its handling of the COVID-19 virus.

5. Destroyed America’s confidence in effective vaccines.

If you think this is the worst that can happen - think again. Throughout history, mankind has been devastated by a pathogen commonly referred to as the “Plague." Infected with the pathogen Yersinia pestis, a disease vector will transmit to another living organism (people), and once infected, humans will transfer the disease to other humans. For example, in Simon Sebag Montefiore’s history, The World, he notes that “the plague had killed 30,000 people in the first year of James I’s reign (1603 to 1625), and 40,000 in 1625, ... then kllled 100,000 Britons out of a population of 5.2 million in the summer of 1665.” Another example in Montefiore’s history is that “in 1720, the plague’s last European wave killed 90,000 out of 150,000 people in Marseilles.” 

However, it should be noted that, today you can bypass the vector and create the bacilli and virus in a lab.[2]

These examples are left to history, however, there is always history yet to be written. We can take nothing for granted. Our government has a duty to protect the American people from all enemies, including the threat to literally the health of our Nation. 

The pandemic potential of this moronic and inept decision to allow unfettered illegal immigration into our country by the Biden Administration should alarm any rational person. And who stands between a catastrophic pandemic and us? Indeed, a politically correct DEI Dr. Rachel Levine, aka Richard Levine, the Assistant Secretary for Health at the US Department of Health and Human Services, the first openly transgender four-star officer across the nation’s eight uniformed services; the NIH; the NIAID; the CDC; and the Biden Administration. 

The salient question is this. Can a nation survive the pathological and pathetic leadership we have today in the United States? The question is rhetorical. No. Not unless there is a change in government.

The Tucker Carlson / Putin Interview

 

Well, I heard Mr. Wallace talk about him

Well, I heard ol’ Chris put him down

Well, I hope Chris Wallace will remember

A real American don’t need him around anyhow [1]

 

Chris Wallace, the journalistic legacy tosser, was not impressed with Tucker Carlson’s interview with the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, "The Vladimir Putin Interview," a television interview, that premiered on February 8, 2024, on the Tucker Carlson Network and the social media website X (Twitter). 

 

The Legacy sarcastically opined that it was a “softball interview”, and worse, called Mr. Carlson a “useful idiot.” The latter is a phrase used by and often attributed to Joseph Stalin [2] to describe non-communists (liberals and progressives in the parlance of our day) regarded as susceptible to communist propaganda and psychological manipulation. Mr. Wallace was particularly critical of Mr. Carlson for not pressing Mr. Putin on why he (Russia) invaded Ukraine, a sovereign country. [3] However, Mr. Wallace did not disclose why he did not vigorously pressure then-President William Clinton and his Secretary of State Madeleine  Albright, in 1999, when the United States of America (officially NATO) invaded Serbia, also a sovereign country. [4]

 

In my view, Mr. Carlson’s interview with the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, was a service to America and the free world. Regardless of whether you agree or disagree with the interview’s form and substance, it was a fact that for over two hours, the international free world had an opportunity to understand Russia’s point of view on the war in Ukraine. 

 

Recently, I read 1476 pages of Michael T. Florinsky's brilliant history, Russia: A History and An Interpretation, Volumes I & II. As a student in the 1960s at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, his work was the text for my two semesters of Russian history. Professor (Columbia University) Florinsky's Russian history is an outstanding achievement that in my opinion is unparalleled. The depth of his understanding of Russian history is judicious and eminently insightful. If you wish to understand Russia and Putin today, you need to read these books.

 

Accordingly, I was able to listen to this interview with, I believe, a measure of clarity not common to most listeners, which certainly would include Mr. Wallace. Mr. Putin’s account of Russian history was in my view factual. 

 

It should not be doubted that Russia’s history is the sine qua non of Mr. Putin’s rationale for his policy decisions regarding Ukraine. And, if you want to end this war, you damn well better know why it started.

The Bolshevik Brest - Litovsk Peace Treaty of March 3, 1918, with the Central powers, [5] deprived Russia of her Polish, Baltic (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania), and Belorussian provinces. Moreover, Russia also had to recognize the independence of Ukraine and Finland. It was also understood that granting Ukraine independence in 1918 meant the immediate invasion by Austro-German troops following Russian troop removal from Ukrainian territory. However, Ukraine's bid for independence at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 was rejected, which led to the incorporation of Ukraine into the Soviet Union. 

 

Subsequently, World War II (WWII) led to Nazi Germany's invasion and occupation of the Ukraine in July 1941, as part of the German invasion of the USSR. [6] This lasted until Spring 1944 when the Red Army began to penetrate into Galicia, and by the end of October, all of Ukraine was again under Soviet control. After WWII, the Potsdam Agreement, in August 1945, [7] and the Paris Peace Treaties signed on February 10, 1947, [8] formally recognized Soviet control over the recovered territories. In 1945 Ukraine, became a Soviet quasi-state, and a charter member of the United Nations. However, Ukraine was one of the constituent republics of the Soviet Union from 1922 until 1991 and was governed by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union through, the Communist Party of Ukraine. Independence for the Ukraine was finally realized on August 24, 1991.

 

The pathological silence of Russian policy deliberations has always made it difficult to discern Russian intentions. However, when complete understanding is not knowable, it does not preclude or prohibit educated estimations, which then serve to craft intelligent policy decisions and the basis for a peace negotiation. I would proffer that Mr. Putin’s invasion of the Ukraine was taken by his perceived assessment of President Biden’s commitment to the Ukraine. [9] Meaning, that he (Russia) would not be challenged militarily by the United States or NATO. [10]

 

If Kyiv is to have peace, it will only result in a clear-headed appraisal and realistic assessment of the situ. Peace, I would proffer, is not a choice between status quo ante bellum, and the total annexation of the Ukraine by Russia, but rather something in between. Although a final solution may be onerous, the alternative may be catastrophic. The continued casus belli serves no one, except war profiteers. 

At present, the United States and its European allies seem perfectly prepared to carry on with the destruction of Ukraine, at the expense of Ukrainian and Russian lives, even though the legitimate interests of the combatants are a peaceful solution. Peace should not be sacrificed to political ambition and corruption, who at the moment seemed determined to fight this war to the last drop of blood. [11]

 2. Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin, was leader of the Soviet Union from 1924 until he died in 1953.

 3. Mr. Wallace’s lament, it is believed, refers to Russia’s most recent incursion in February 2022. Yet there was an earlier incursion in 2014 that resulted in the Russian annexation of the Crimea and Donbas region of Ukraine.

 4. NATO's 1999 military campaign against Serbia (Kosovo). The Americans and Europeans via NATO made a political decision backed by its military might at the time. The U.N. Resolution 1244 negotiated to end the war, and guaranteed Serbian interests and sovereignty in Kosovo. Yet, in February 2008, then US President George W Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, supported the Albanian Kosovars' declaration of Independence from Serbia -- a clear violation of international law, a UN Resolution, and the principle of national sovereignty forged out of the horror of World War II. Moreover, the crisis in Georgia (2008) was a direct result of American and European actions in Kosovo (Serbia). 

5. The Central powers in World War I (WWI), included Germany, Austria, Italy, and Turkey. Bulgaria also joined the Central Powers late in the war, however, although it was too late in the war little attention should be given.

6. AKA Operation Barbarossa, the Axis invasion of the Soviet Union.

7. The Agreement among three of the Allies of WWII: the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union.

8. Paris Peace Treaties, (1947) series of treaties between the Allied powers and five defeated European countries that had been aligned with Germany and the Axis powers during World War II, specifically Italy, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and Finland.
