Biden Administration Allows Border Invasion to Continue – Massive Crisis Overwhelms Del Rio Border Sector in Texas


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on September 18, 2021 | Sundance | 351 Comments

The efforts of the Biden administration to collapse the U.S. immigration system and open the borders to unrestricted illegal alien migration are being extremely successful.  Tens of thousands of illegal border crossers are now assembled in Del Rio, Texas, hometown to the Chief of the U.S. Border Patrol, Raul Ortiz.

The issue has become so overwhelming Ortiz told Houston media, “We’ve never seen a migration population explode so quickly on the immediate border like we saw over the last 72 hours.”  Approximately 13,000 illegal aliens are now encamped underneath the overpass of the international bridge connecting Del Rio, Texas, to Ciudad Acuña in the Mexican state of Coahuila.

Among the invasion forces are massive numbers of Haitians, thousands of them, who previously fled their homeland to South and Central American countries like Brazil and Columbia. After gaining visas to South America they work their way through Panama, Central America and into Mexico where they take organized buses from left-wing open border aid groups and eventually taxi cabs to Del Rio where they walk across the Rio Grande unimpeded.

The Obama administration previously began supporting this network of travel in 2012 during the “unaccompanied alien children” crisis.  However, currently the same system is working in overdrive, because the Obama crew has installed Joe Biden as a disposable figure to facilitate the fundamental change Obama failed to achieve when he was restricted by political backlash.

In the 2021 version of Obama’s operation, the invasion force is no longer limited to children or teenage central American gang members. Now we see entire families of economic migrants, and those who know the U.S. taxpayer will be forced to fund their life in the U.S, flooding the border in extreme numbers.

The scale of the movement is so extreme, the cartels in Mexico have even stopped trying to catch, tax and charge the travelers for passage. The Mexican drug cartels are incapable of blocking the flow of the migrants as they flow like ants around the villages and towns where the cartel checkpoints were set up. Additionally, most Mexican nationals and the Mexican military do not want to block the flow because they know the sheer size of these groups will cost them billions to support.

In an effort to stop the larger American people from seeing what is taking place, the Biden administration closed the Del Rio border bridge on Friday. Any legal passage into this region, including valid Mexican workers with permits, now have to drive an hour away to Eagle Pass, Texas, to cross in or out of the U.S. This is making the situation in Del Rio even worse, as the legal workforce for sustainable social and economic infrastructure can no longer get to work.

According to one report, shared by Latino for Trump founder Bianca Gracia (via Steve Bannon’s broadcast), customs and border patrol officers are now moving their families away from Del Rio, Texas, because the entire region is being overrun with a mix of desperate people from the third-world and is no longer safe.

This situation would appear to be the motive for USBP Chief Raul Ortiz to leave his Washington DC office and rush back to his hometown to evaluate the scale of the crisis.  “From my perspective, we need to do everything we can to manage the safety and security of the migrants, the community and of course our agents,” Ortiz said.

The invasion force has resulted in a bottleneck of approximately 13,000 people, as the Biden administration cannot distribute them further inland as fast as they are arriving.  The Del Rio encampment population is expected to double in the next 24 to 48 hours.

CTH has tracked this issue so closely through the years, it often feels futile.  There is no greater disconnect from ordinary Americans on any singular issue than the policy positions of Democrats and Republicans in Washington DC surrounding illegal immigration.

Massive illegal immigration is supported by both sides of the professional political machine. There are few issues more unifying for the K-Street purchased voices of DC politicians than keeping the U.S. borders open and the influx of illegal aliens as high as possible. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce pays politicians to keep this system in place.

All Democrats, and most Republicans, support mass immigration. Almost no DC politicians want to take action on any policy or legislation that stops the influx. There are billions at stake. None of the GOP leadership want to actually stop illegal immigration; it’s a lucrative business, and almost all of the CONservative groups and politicians lie about it.

Example: Glenn Beck was about to go bankrupt because his failed media empire was collapsing around him.  What did he do?  He shifted the financial mechanism underneath him to a process of joining the charitable business-end of illegal immigration.   Beck’s “charity” Mercury-One, now openly fundraises under the faith-based auspices of saving people from hardship around the world, “It’s what good Christians do”.  With a name like “The Nazarene fund“, if you question it, you’re a racist.

In the bigger picture, “Faith Based Immigration Services” is a code-speak for legalized human smuggling.

(Lutheran Immigration – Grant Link)

Human smuggling is big business. If you dig into the IRS 990 forms, you’ll see a lot of, well, “generous” wage/benefit perks.  Golf, florists, cafes, mysterious leases, land purchases, third party mortgages, $$$ spouses on the payroll, etc.

So, when you’ve got each individual immigration business making multi-hundreds of millions; and politicians getting kick-backs (lobbyists); and bribes to Mexican government officials; and payments to smugglers; who do you think actually wants the business to stop?

(Data For Catholic Bishops – FY 2018)

The “faith-based” crew (Ted Cruz, Glenn Beck, etc.) don’t want it to stop, because facilitating illegal alien import is now the financial bread and butter amid groups in their base of support. The man/woman in the pew might not know; but the corporation minister, preacher or priest (inside the process) surely does.

The Wall Street, big GOPe, U.S. Chamber of Commerce crew doesn’t want it to stop, because they benefit from it (cheap labor), and the taxpayers -not them- are the ones funding it.

(Baptist Child and Family Services – BCFS – FY 2018)

Sad thing is, it’s you and me that are paying the South/Central American human smugglers through U.S. taxpayer funds. Funds laundered through the immigration business bagmen at U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, and/or, U.S. Catholic Charities, or Southwest Key Programs Inc; or Baptist Child and Family Services Emergency Management Division (BCFS-EMD)… just to name a few.

These immigration groups get *MASSIVE* HHS grants and then pay-off the DC politicians and human smugglers, including MS13. Billions of dollars are spent, and the business has exploded in the past six years.

It’s a vicious cycle. Trafficked children are more valuable than adults, because the organizations involved get more funding for a child than an adult. Each illegal alien child is worth about $56,000 in grant money. The system is full of fraud.

From our prior research approximately 65% of the money they get is spent on executive pay and benefits, opaque administrative payrolls, bribes, kick-backs to DC politicians and payoffs to the South American smugglers who bring them more immigrants.

As best it can be determined, approximately 35% ($19,000) is spent on the alien/immigrant child; maybe. It gets sketchy deep in their accounting.

I dislike all of them…. immensely.  In the wake of their financially lucrative immigration outcomes, you will find nothing except human misery.

Vaccine Hypnosis


Posted originally on GrrrGraphics.com on SEP 17, 2021 AT 12:36 PM

The western world is undergoing an aggressive mass-hypnosis campaign designed to get us all to take a Covid vaccination. Many of us are resisting and are now being demonized. Arch liar Don Lemon said we should be shunned and harassed. Will Lemon soon be donning a Nazi uniform?

We are inundated with messages urging us to take the experimental injections. There’s an annoying Walgreen commercial in which a woman uses a relaxed and friendly voice. After talking about something else she casually adds something about getting your free Covid vaccine because ‘you’re ready.’ When I hear her say that I reply, “No, I’m not ready. I’ll never be ready!”

Such commercials are everywhere and I assume they’re being paid for by the pharmaceutical industrial complex, but there’s one thing that makes the Covid jabs stand out. Unlike ads for other drugs, they do not list the side effects of getting the Covid shot. If they did, it would be horrific. I can hear it now…”Side effects may include heart inflammation, stroke, or sudden death.” They won’t say that, but serious side effects have occurred. Thousands of died and millions have experienced serious side effects. The mainstream media liars will not mention a word about such dangers. They keep repeating over and over that the vaccines are ‘safe and effective.’ If they say those words often enough and from enough sources including celebrities, they know they will break down resistance and people will eventually get them.

Many people do not trust government, our media, or the pharmaceutical representatives. They know Dr. Fauci gave American taxpayer dollars to the Chinese communists to achieve ‘gain of function.’ He lied to Congress. He and Bill Gates belong in prison, but since they are part of the New World Order, they are untouchable. Many don’t like or trust Fauci or Gates, but still they get the vaccine for a so-called pandemic with a 99.7 percent survivability rate!

They globalist totalitarians also do not want you to question their hypnotism. Observe what Senator Pocahontas (Elizabeth Warren) said last week. She wants Amazon to ban books that criticize the vaccines. Many of those books are written by real doctors and scientists who are ringing alarm bells, but Warren says what they’re writing is ‘misinformation.’ She won’t say exactly WHAT is the misinformation, but it’s a tactic now being used by the vaccine pushers. Anything that questions the ‘official’ narrative is now misinformation. That’s that. No debate. No free speech allowed. Just shut up and take your shot and hurry!

They are attempting to control reality with their hypnosis. That is, they want humanity to accept a false reality and it can’t be questioned. This will lead to a very bad end.

I’m not offering medical advice. If you insist on having mystery liquids that have been proven to be ineffective against Covid inserted into your body, then that’s your call. As for me, I will never be convinced. The love of freedom breaks their hypnotic spell.

Bill Gates Lying


Armstrong Economics Blog/Vaccine Re-Posted Sep 18, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Let’s be very clear. Gates has a huge stake in all the big vaccine companies. Marginally, if he makes just $1 per shot, he stands to become not only the richest man but the richest man in all of history.

Why Did The CDC Stop Recording Vaccine Breakthrough Cases in The U.S. on May 1st? – Today We Got The Obvious Answer, Vaccine Companies Want to Sell Booster Shots


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on September 17, 2021 | Sundance | 146 Comments

A “breakthrough case” is the term for a person infecting with COVID-19 after they have been vaccinated.  On May 1st the CDC changed the recording and record keeping of COVID-19 breakthrough cases, and stopped tracking them.  The change was announced July 30th {Data Link}.

[…] The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) currently monitors hospitalizations and deaths, from any cause, among fully vaccinated individuals with COVID-19, but not breakthrough infections, which it stopped monitoring as of May 1. CDC presents this data in aggregate at the national level but not by state, and there is no single, public repository for data by state or data on breakthrough infections, since the CDC stopped monitoring them. (read more)

At the time the CDC stopped tracking the incidents of vaccinated persons contracting COVID-19 and being hospitalized, many people wondered why?  Obviously if you stop recording vaccinated persons who are hospitalized, it will look like only unvaccinated persons are being hospitalized by the variants in the CDC records.  That skews the data and gives the false impression that only unvaxxed persons are getting infected and/or sick….

…Which is exactly what happened.

The medical industry and media narrative around the COVID-19 Delta Variant was that unvaccinated people in the U.S. were the majority group at risk.  The data supported that narrative because the breakthrough cases were no longer being recorded.   This makes the vaccine approach look better.  The approach of not counting the breakthrough case hospitalizations also makes the pharmaceutical companies look better; their vaccine looks more appealing & more effective.

However, another angle surfaced today that highlights the strength of the motive to stop recording those breakthrough cases; it also explains why some of the top leadership in the FDA quit their jobs rather than participate.

When the FDA vaccine approval panel was originally instructed to use the efficacy data with the goal of evaluating the booster shot request for the Pfizer vaccination; they were instructed to only look at the data from the U.S.

Knowing the CDC no longer was tracking U.S. breakthrough cases, that meant the FDA vaccine approval panel was only evaluating the Pfizer efficacy and hospitalization issue around the non-vaccinated group.  If this approach had been maintained, they would be making a determination of vaccine efficacy/effectiveness in the U.S. with the key metric omitted: The Pfizer vaccine would look more effective than it actually was, because the vaccinated and hospitalized metric was removed.

That skewed data looks like an intentional decision – for that specific intentional reason.   The CDC was trying to make the vaccines look more effective at avoiding hospitalization.  THAT is a political manipulation by changing a key part of the record-keeping.  THAT looks like the reason for the FDA officials to quit, rather than participate in politically manipulated science.

This scenario turned up today in the FDA rejection of a Pfizer booster, when the FDA vaccine approval panel finally won the argument and was allowed to look at more than just the manipulated U.S. data-set.   Despite the CDC stopping to track the vaccinated and hospitalized data in the U.S., the panel was allowed to consider the vaccinated and hospitalized outcomes from the U.K. and Israel {Source Link}:

[Dr. Peter Marks, the FDA leading expert in vaccines,] – “added the meeting focused on almost real-time analyses compared to what is happening in the world, and the goal remains slowing the spread of COVID-19, which is killing almost 2,000 Americans daily.

The question the advisory panel was originally given to consider only used the U.S. data, a small dataset, despite the presentations including data from the U.K. and Israel.

Marks instructed the panel to consider all the data, noting, “This is not a legal proceeding, this is a science proceeding, so you can take all the data into account.” (link)

By looking at the vaccinated/hospitalized rates in the U.K and Israel, a data-set intentionally not recorded by U.S. health officials, the panel rejected the Pfizer request for a booster shot, noting the efficacy just wasn’t there.  However, if the panel had only looked at the data approved by the CDC, the Pfizer vaccine efficacy would have looked much better because the vaccinated/hospitalized data was intentionally not recorded.

This my friends is how the healthcare of the U.S. is being manipulated by politics and Big Pharma.

This political manipulation also explains why the White House was proceeding with a booster shot distribution plan, even before the FDA vaccine advisory panel gave their opinion. $$$$

Some interesting developments in the ongoing Arizona Senate audit of the dubious Maricopa County election outcome.  First, Arizona Senate President Karen Fann notes an agreement between the Senate and Maricopa County for information still outstanding.  According to President Fann:

“HUGE win for the Az Senate today! Maricopa settlement gives us all the data needed to complete the review of the routers & splunk log to the most comprehensive election audit in history. We got everything we need and more. Maricopa County goes home with its tail between its legs” ~ Karen Fann (graphic source link):

CENTCOM Commander General McKenzie Calls Drone Strike Killing 10 Innocents in Kabul, a Tragic Mistake – The Signals Intelligence Was Wrong


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on September 17, 2021 | Sundance | 165 Comments

Earlier today, General Kenneth Franklin McKenzie Jr. admitted a claimed U.S. drone strike against the ever evolving and mysterious ISIS-K, actually killed 7 children and three innocent adult civilians. General McKenzie calls it a “tragic mistake.” Four days after the August 29th strike Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, called the strike “righteous.”

General McKenzi says he takes “full responsibility”, yet he retains his position.   No one is being held to account. No one at the Pentagon is facing discipline. Both McKenzie and Milley claim it was solid intelligence that led them to watch, follow, and eventually target and kill Zemari Ahmadi, an Afghan relief worker who arrived home. The missile struck his vehicle as his children ran out to welcome daddy home from work, killing all occupants in the car and those in the vicinity.

As noted by Politico, “The command now assesses that “it is unlikely” the man and vehicle targeted was affiliated with ISIS-K, the Afghanistan branch of ISIS, or “a direct threat to U.S. forces,” Gen. Frank McKenzie, head of U.S. Central Command told reporters Friday.”

Many people suspect part of the “intelligence” they used was a tip from their Taliban “partners” at the time.  Ten people killed, including three children.

The other aspect to this situation that raises MASSIVE alarm bells is McZenzie emphasizing this strike was the result of overwhelming “signals intelligence” or SIGINT.   Remember, the Intelligence Apparatus, writ large, is part of Team-1, and aligned with the State Department.  The White House and Pentagon are part of Team-2.  At the time this took place, there was a severe battle to avoid accountability between both teams.

Two Questions:

First – Was the signals intelligence provided by Team-1, purposefully wrong in order to set up the Pentagon (Team-2) with a major crisis, and as a result, put more of the Afghanistan blame on the DoD and White House?

Second – Did the evidence of that erroneous targeting then arrive at the New York Times after an assist by the background operators of Team-1 to get it to them?

Think about it.

♦ TEAM One – The Department of State is aligned with the CIA.  Their media PR firms are CNN, CNNi and the Washington Post. Their ideology is favorable to the United Nations.  Their internal corruption is generally driven by relationship with foreign actors.  References: Hillary Clinton, Clinton Global Initiative, John McCain, Qatar, Muslim Brotherhood, Samantha Powers, Susan Rice, Cass Sunstein, Brookings Institute, Lawfare, China-centric, Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senate Intel Committee, Council on Foreign Relations.

♦ TEAM Two – The White House is aligned with the Pentagon (DoD) and National Security Council (NSC).  Their media PR firms are domestic in nature. New York Times, Politico, etc.  Their internal corruption is generally driven by domestic influence.  References: Barack Obama, George Bush, Wall St, Big Banks, Multinational Corporations, Defense Contractors, FBI (state police), Judicial Branch, and community activists writ large.

[Presidential elections only affect Team Two (nationalism -v- globalism).  In the modern era, Team One is independent.]

Both teams were responsible for the Afghanistan mess.  However, in the aftermath of the mess; and with the situation in/around Kabul gaining massive attention, each team is positioning to avoid scrutiny.  Scrutiny on either team runs the risk of identifying massive institutional corruption; so the objective is to push the spotlight onto the other team.

State Dept. blames White House/Pentagon…. Pentagon/White House looking to avoid sunlight.

Did the DoS/CIA set up the White House and DoD using their knowledge of relief worker Zemari Ahmadi and his family as useful collateral damage?

FDA Advisory Panel Rejects Pfizer Booster Shots


Posted originally on the conservative tree house September 17, 2021 | Sundance | 526 Comments

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advisory group who evaluate the efficacy and safety of vaccines have rejected the request for Pfizer booster shots.  However, the White House – desperately trying to push as many needle jabs as possible – was already on track to begin giving booster shots this month.  The implication here is that the White House was not following the recommendations of the FDA or the science.

WASHINGTON DC – A U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advisory panel voted Friday against approval of Pfizer (PFE)/BioNTech’s (BNTX) third dose for the U.S.

The vote comes after a heated debate in recent weeks over the need for booster or additional shots, which both mRNA companies — Pfizer and Moderna (MRNA) — have advocated for.

Dr. Peter Marks, the FDA’s leading expert on vaccines, touched on the controversy in his introductory remarks. “We know that there may be differing opinions of the interpretation of the data regarding the potential need for additional doses, and we strongly encourage all the different viewpoints to be voiced and discussed regarding the data, which is complex, and evolving,” Marks said.

He added the meeting focused on almost real-time analyses compared to what is happening in the world, and the goal remains slowing the spread of COVID-19, which is killing almost 2,000 Americans daily.

The question the advisory panel was given to consider only used the U.S. data, a small dataset, despite the presentations including data from the U.K. and Israel.

Marks instructed the panel to consider all the data, noting, “This is not a legal proceeding, this is a science proceeding, so you can take all the data into account.”

The meeting precedes a September 20 start date for additional doses, announced last month by the White House COVID-19 Response Team, despite U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data showing some Americans are already receiving third doses. Last month, the CDC recommended additional doses for immunocompromised people.

A CDC advisory panel will meet next week to discuss recommendations for who should receive a booster dose. (read more)

This happens on the same day the CDC announces a study [Data Here] showing the Moderna vaccine remained stronger in protecting against hospitalization compared to Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ).

Among U.S. adults without immunocompromising conditions, vaccine effectiveness against COVID-19 hospitalization during March 11–August 15, 2021, was higher for the Moderna vaccine (93%) than the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine (88%) and the Janssen vaccine (71%).  (link)

However, Moderna has now highlighted their own diminished benefit study [DATA HERE] showing the vaccine effectiveness wanes after 8 months:

[…] “In the analysis, 88 breakthrough cases of COVID-19 occurred in the more recently vaccinated group (49.0 cases per 1000 person-years) compared to 162 cases in the group vaccinated last year (77.1 cases per 1000 person-years). The reduction in incidence rates for participants vaccinated more recently compared to participants vaccinated last year was 36% (95% CI: 17-52%). A Cox proportional hazards model showed similar results after adjusting for age and risk factors for severe COVID-19. Fortunately, only 19 severe cases were observed. While not significant, there was a numerical trend towards a lower rate of severe cases in the group vaccinated more recently (3.3 per 1000 person-years) compared to the group vaccinated last year (6.2 per 1000 person-years).” (read more)

Once you get locked in the vaccine roller coaster, you ain’t getting off until the ride’s over…

Grant Stinchfield and John Solomon Report Trump Declassified Documents January 19th and White House Counsel Withheld Them


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on September 17, 2021 | Sundance | 283 Comments

Last night, following the indictment release of Clinton lawyer Michael Sussmann, Newsmax’ Grant Stinchfield made a strong accusation against former White House counsel Pat Cipollone.  The claim is that in the final days of the Trump Presidency, the President declassified all of the pertinent documents related to DOJ and FBI misconduct surrounding the false Trump-Russia collusion case.

According to Stinchfield, speaking of ‘high level’ Trump administration sources, thousands of documents were declassified with instructions to release them to the public and also provide them to journalist John Solomon.  The public release never took place; and Stinchfield as well as other Trump allies blame Pat Cipollone for withholding them.  After explaining what his sources said took place, John Solomon joined as a guest to confirm the basic outline as presented.  WATCH:

Right off the bat, something about this doesn’t pass my sniff test. That is not to say that events, as described, are not accurate; but something about the presentation doesn’t seem right.

FIRST – If John Solomon has known about this for nine months; and if Solomon has a partial list of those documents; and if Solomon is of the same frustrated mindset as outlined….. then why didn’t John Solomon ever write about the issue before?

SECOND – I am not excusing White House counsel Pat Cippolone, not even close; however, I think there is some context being ignored in the way Stinchfield and Solomon are framing this.  Cippolone’s position as White House counsel is not to represent Donald Trump, his job is to represent the Office of The President.  The White House counsel is a legal officer of the executive branch as an institution, not the president as a person/individual.   Here is where the missing context and issue surfaces….

When Bill Barr appointed John Durham, officially appointed John Durham (October 19, 2020) as a special counsel, essentially what Bill Barr did was put the proverbial investigative shield over all material evidence that falls under the definition of the investigation Durham was charged to conduct.

Just like Robert Mueller’s appointment made him the controlling authority over everything related to Trump-Russia; which I might add was done with specific and purposeful intent; that made the Mueller special counsel the arbiter of anything that would ever be released to the public. That controlling authority is exactly how Mueller, Weissmann and crew kept a lid on anything that would be detrimental to the political narrative they were attempting to assemble (May 2017 through April 2019).

This process is one that we see used often in order to control and/or coverup wrongdoing.  The material evidence, or any investigative discussion therein, becomes hidden under the cover of “an ongoing investigation“, which blocks the release and puts the control of all evidence into the hands of the investigators.

Understandably, our most familiar reference points are often when this “subject of an ongoing investigation” justification is used with malicious and corrupt intent to keep things hidden from the public.  That corrupt reference is a stark and frustrating reality.  However, there are valid reasons why material evidence is kept in the control of the investigators until they determine it is no longer useful; this is also true.

Back to Cippolone.  With John Durham appointed as the special counsel with control over all evidence subject to the purpose of his investigation, well, right there is a valid reason why the counsel for the Office of the Presidency could not just release it.   Cippolone would have to give it to John Durham because it was materially relevant to his ongoing investigation.  The declassified material would have to go through John Durham, gain his approval that investigative value is exhausted (ie. it is no longer needed), and then the material can be released.

Through the prism of that approach, Pat Cippolone not making the material public (giving it to special counsel John Durham) would be following the appropriate step.

Inasmuch as it is extremely and righteously frustrating, and the greater sunlight of transparency is annoyingly kept at bay, as with many of these legal constructs, they are potentially subject to Machiavellian manipulation; so, I grant no benefit of honorable intent.

Cippolone should be asked that specific question very publicly:  “Was the declassified information withheld under the auspices of first giving it to John Durham for review and use?”  If yes, then that response establishes the framework for public pressure on John Durham to release it; or make a statement that he is not yet ready to do so.
