Austin Texas & the Rise of Woke Craziness into 2024

Marty:

We are so grateful to have you help us navigate the crisis’ – war, sovereign debt and totalitarianism.

Crime in Austin has ratcheted up. It brings me much sadness to see the happy hippy town I once knew to be overtaken by crime gangs. The latest is car clubs have been overtaken by gangs seeking to “ “Take Over” events are organized on social media and encourage the drivers (“swingers” or “drifters”) to perform donuts, burn-outs, or other displays of speed and acceleration.” Austin’s defunded police lack the force to respond with one officer injured and forced to retreat and reports of an officer car breached. These events have been deadly with shots fired in San Antonio.

These events are advertised on social media, so the FBI knows about them. It seems like they will use these events in the future to take over social media. The old way of the men of the town meeting the instigators in the middle of the night and warning them never to return seems like the only way to protect ourselves. The courts of today would send the good men to prison leaving the criminals free to continue to threaten the community.

You mention Asians parking money in the US, yet as demonstrated the US officials are more than happy to confiscate the capital of citizens from the wrong country such as Russia today and China in the future. How will they be able to access this capital after the capital restrictions have been imposed?

Truly,

Austin is the capital city of the U.S. state of Texas. It was founded on December 27, 1839. It became the first permanent Anglo settlement during the 1830s and was first named Waterloo. It was chosen to be the capital of the new Republic of Texas. A new city was built rather and named after Stephen F. Austin, “the father of Texas.” The region emerged from the Mexican state of Coahuila y Tejas during the Texas Revolution in 1835–1836 when it declared to be independence.

It was the Battle of the Alamo during Texas’ war for independence that lasted cyclically on time for exactly thirteen days (February 23, 1836-March 6, 1836). It was during December of 1835 when a group of Texan volunteer soldiers occupied the Alamo, which was a former Franciscan mission near the present-day city of San Antonio, Texas. The Spanish began their siege on February 23 with an army numbering in the thousands against 200 men. Alamo’s 200 defenders were commanded by James Bowie and William Travis. Also, there was the famous frontiersman Davy Crockett. For Texans, the Battle of the Alamo became their symbol of resistance during the Mexican-American War of 1846-1848. The saying that became etched into American history was – “Remember the Alamo.” Texas won its independence in 1836 just as the Donbas is now fighting for independence that was promised by the West in the Minsk Agreement. Putin has assumed the role of the United States as it supported Texan independence. Then on December 29th, 1845 (1845.994), Texas became the 28th state in the United States.

It appears that you will have to suffer in this trend into 2024. The wave from 2024 into 2029 will be greatly influenced by war. Until then, the Democrats will do nothing to reverse this trend. they are counting on it and have totally misjudged the next effect of their policies. We have not experienced this trend here in Florida mainly because the illegal aliens have to be flown in by the Biden Administration. Texas’ Achilles‘ heel is that they can just cross the border there.

Will 13 Million Ukrainians Just Move to Germany?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Ukraine Re-Posted Feb 27, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

According to the UN refugee agency, more than thirteen million people, or nearly a third of Ukraine’s prewar population, have been displaced since the invasion. Of that, more than five million are internally displaced, while over eight million are refugees living in neighboring countries. Our former two employees from Ukraine are now in Berlin. In comparison, the continent saw some one million refugees during the 2015 wave of migration from Africa and the Middle East. There were four million refugees who fled to Europe during the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s.

Besides the constant demands from the United States that NATO members must be pouring in money to defeat Russia, the cost of taking care of all of the Ukrainian Refugees is stressing the entire budget of the EU. The refusal to even entertain any peace and just honor the Minsk Agreement which would end the war in 15 minutes or less, the longer this goes on the likelihood the balance of the 13 million Ukrainians will opt to move most likely to Germany.

Illegal Aliens Flown to Martha’s Vineyard by Ron DeSantis Granted Special VISAs Permitting Lawful Residency as Crime Victims


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on October 14, 2022 | Sundance

As expected, the Lawfare ideologues have weaponized the legal system to grant special visa status to the illegal aliens flown to Martha’s Vineyard by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.  The aliens have been granted lawful U.S. residency status via “U VISA’s” reserved for victims of crimes.

Their applications as criminally trafficked victims come as the result of Texas Sherriff Javier Salazar certifying they were victims of an illegal human trafficking operation led by the Florida governor.  As an outcome, Ron DeSantis is under investigation by federal authorities and Texas authorities for violations of human trafficking laws.

[Picture Source – With More Detail]

The federal government, U.S. Treasury Dept, has an open investigation into the funds used by DeSantis to conduct the transfer operation. “Documents indicate Florida officials paid Destin, Fla.-based Vertol Systems Co. $1.56 million for the Martha’s Vineyard flight and possibly for a flight to Delaware, the home state of President Joe Biden, that ultimately didn’t happen.” [link]  Meanwhile Texas Sheriff Salazar is conducting a criminal investigation for human trafficking.

The 50 aliens have essentially been designated as victims and received the special VISA’s protecting them from extradition.  They are now considered witnesses for use by the Treasury investigation and Texas criminal probe.

WASHINGTON DC – Texas Sheriff Javier Salazar on Thursday certified that the group of migrants flown to Martha’s Vineyard, Mass., last month by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) were victims of a crime, qualifying them to obtain a visa.

Salazar, the Bexar County sheriff, submitted certification documents that will allow the nearly 50 migrants to apply for U visas, which grant crime victims nonimmigrant status in the U.S. to ensure that they are available as witnesses during investigations or trials.

“Based upon the claims of migrants being transported from Bexar County under false pretenses, we are investigating this case as possible Unlawful Restraint,” Salazar said in a statement to GBH News.

The Venezuelan nationals transported to Martha’s Vineyard were reportedly given false information about where they were going and the support they would receive at the destination.

The certification comes a day after the Department of the Treasury announced that it would investigate DeSantis’s usage of COVID-19 relief money and the “allowability” of funding migrant transportation with that money or interest earned on it. (read more)

It was obvious from shortly after the first wave of aliens was transferred from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard that progressive Lawfare operatives had found an angle to use the transfers as a targeting mechanism against Governor Ron DeSantis.  That’s likely why the second set of flights to Delaware never took place.

Jared Kushner Under Fire for Not Supporting Ron DeSantis Political Use of Texas Alien Transfers


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on September 23, 2022 | Sundance

The DeSantis Crew, formerly the 2016 Cruz Crew, is up in arms over a selectively edited soundbite from Jared Kusher, President Trump’s son-in-law. {Direct Rumble Link}

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis went shopping for South American aliens at an El Paso migrant processing facility in Texas.  The DeSantis people took the aliens to a hotel with plans to fly them to Delaware, Joe Biden’s home state.  However, facing backlash over the legality of spending Florida funds on a previous operation to move Texas migrants to Martha’s Vineyard, the DeSantis team abandoned the recruited Venezuelan aliens at the hotel, leaving them confused and stranded.

Jared Kushner noted in a Fox appearance that he did not like the approach of recruiting, manipulating and using arriving aliens as political pawns.  Immediately the DeSantis supporters pulled an 8-second soundbite from a one-hour Fox News appearance and proclaimed Kusher was criticizing Ron DeSantis, which in the world view of Team DeSantis makes Kushner an enemy.  However, the full statement with context is not controversial at all, and in my opinion Kusher is correct.  WATCH:

.

The fact that Ron DeSantis sent people to Texas to recruit aliens from an El Paso processing facility with the promise of a flight to Delaware, then abandoned them when the political heat started, literally leaving them at the hotel confused and waiting for a bus that never arrived, shows the operation itself was using aliens as “political pawns,” and it is unseemly.

The DeSantis people can try to spin this against Kushner, but the outrage should really be toward the people working for DeSantis who pulled this stunt.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Responds to Criticism of His Transfer of Illegal Aliens to Massachusetts


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on September 20, 2022 | sundance

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has come under fire for his transfer of illegal aliens from Texas to Massachusetts, Martha’s Vineyard.   The Lawfare operatives within the leftist open-border community appear to be targeting DeSantis over technical elements in the Florida law he used to transfer 50 alien arrivals.

The legal maneuver being deployed to target the Florida governor, seems centered around his authority being limited to the movement of aliens who traveled to, or were residing in, Florida at the time of their transfer – as constructed in the Florida law used to authorize the use of taxpayer funding for his action. {LINK} As the argument is made, if the aliens were never actually in Florida, their legal transport would not be covered by the FL legislative authority that provided for their removal.

Today, during a press conference to announce state sales tax relief, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis fired back at those who are targeting him.  WATCH:

The transport of the alien arrivals to Martha’s Vineyard was a great way to bring attention to the national border crisis.
