Senate Border Bill is Worse Than Existing Immigration Law

Posted criminally on the CTH on February 5, 2024 Sundance

The Senate immigration bill, aka border security bill, is only designed as the cover for the Senate to send $60 billion more to Ukraine. The Ukraine money is the priority (corps/lobbyists) the border “security” bill is the technique to create and spend it.

That said, they certainly would not want to let a created and purposeful border crisis go to waste, and they didn’t. The latest version of the Senate Immigration Reform Bill is now public [SEE HERE]. The proposed Senate border security bill provisions are actually worse than existing non-secure border provisions.

America First Legal did a great job hitting on the top-line issues created by this new bill. In many ways, multiple ways, this supplemental “border security” bill makes things worse. The bill codifies into law the loopholes currently being used to increase the number of illegal aliens. By this design the bill makes things worse.

European Central Bank Prepares for Trump Victory

Posted originally on Feb 5, 2024 By Martin Armstrong

On the stage at Davos, European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde took a long pause when asked about the 2024 US Presidential Election. The mere question made the room erupt in laughter. “It is for the American people to decide what they want with their politics, with their government with their future,” she diplomatically replied, followed by saying she wants member nations to form a “more cohesive” economy as they may not be able to count on the US to push forward their objectives if Trump wins.

“Of course, we are concerned about it because the United States is the largest economy, the largest defense country in the world and has been a beacon of democracy with all its upsides and downsides but this is what they should be considering,” Lagarde said before stating that they unfortunately cannot interfere in the election. Lagarde said that the ECB has already considered what they may do if Donald Trump secures the vote this November.

“We must anticipate, just as we do with inflation, you know, we do scenarios what if what if what if and then what do we do, that is the real question,” she stated, later adding, “We have to be strong as Europeans and not assume we can rely on our friends over the world because these things change over the course of time as we have seen.” Precisely this as the US would not be considered a friend to the globalists within the EU or ECB under Trump.

Lagarde is calling on European leaders to “accelerate capital market union,” and no different from people hoarding in times of uncertainty, the ECB is asking member nations to begin hoarding in the event of a future they do not wish to see. “There is a lot of saving in Europe and we have to make sure that those savings actually stay here to finance what needs to be financed, which is predominantly the climate transition, which is digitalization, which is enough re-industrialization…so in the key areas we could be self-sufficient.”

Hence why, members of the ECB stated in a recent poll that Lagarde has failed to focus on economic objectives. Climate change initiatives were the first issue that came to mind as she knows Trump would not commit unlimited resources to fighting naturally occurring cyclical weather patterns. Digitalization, CBDC, and digital IDs would also be off the table. She failed to mention their biggest concern, which was that the US could pull out of the wars.

This is why Alexander Soros mentioned assassinating Trump for he is too large of a threat for the globalist agenda. The US is only a friend to Europe if the US abides by the plans for a Great Reset. So, we may see EU member states pulling back on US investments as they prepare for the potential scenario of an enemy in the White House.

Christine Lagarde’s Approval Tanks Among own Staff

Posted originally on Feb 5, 2024 By Martin Armstrong

European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde’s approval rating is “poor,” at best, according to a union-run IPSO survey. Around 60% of European Central Bank staff members do not approve of Lagarde’s presidency, with 53.5% saying she is not the “right president for the ECB at the current juncture.”

The poll found that 59% of staffers do not trust their own organization, marking a drastic uptick from the 40% in last year’s survey. The main complaint seems to be that Lagard spends “too much time on topics unrelated to monetary policy” as Europe’s financial health is not a globalist’s top priority. Only 38.4% say they “agree” or “strongly agree” with her decisions as a leader. Staff stated that her “autocratic” leadership has created a “negative atmosphere” at the central bank.

Lagarde went into lawyer mode and accused the survey of being flawed. She double-downed on her disastrous work, stating, “I’m very proud and honored to lead the institution,” and dismissing all criticism. As I’ve said before, there are no mirrors in Brussels.

Mario Draghi appointed her as ECB president in October 2019 and she took over a month later. Lagarde was a lawyer and former Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund with no real experience in economics, so of course that has never been her focus. Lagarde was part of the unelected Troika branch of the IMF that made decisions solely on the premise of creating a unified European government. Lagarde retained her position at the IMF because she pushed the socialist agenda that is robs the average person through taxation and regulation.

Lagarde seeks to expand tax enforcement on a global scale, ensuring there is no place to hide. On the fiscal side, she argues that governments need to be managed better but has no real suggestions on how to accomplish that goal aside from usurping more power. The ECB had stimulus measures in place for nearly a decade and cannot blame the pandemic or war for its failure.

When they were creating the euro, the Commission attended our 1998 London Conference — the same one when I warned that Russia was about to collapse. It was then when I had a discussion with them, warning that a single currency WOULD NOT produce the same interest rate for all. One central bank cannot impose a single interest rate any more than the Federal Reserve can control the interest rates all 50 states must pay to borrow money.

The ECB has been doomed, and Lagarde is simply the face to mask the severity of the Sovereign Debt Crisis. The only option is for central banks to monetize the debt by buying it because there are no real-world buyers. That defeats the entire purpose of borrowing, which was supposed to be less inflationary. Then, they must raise taxes dramatically to prevent the system from collapsing.

This is an attempt to remain in power until they compel the people to rise up in revolution, as is always the case. Almost every revolution in history has begun with taxation.

One-in-Five Mail-In Voters Admit to Fraud

Posted originally on Feb 5, 2024 By Martin Armstrong

We know that the mail-in voting system was implemented as a measure to control the vote. The question becomes how far does the fraud go? The Rasmussen Reports and the Heartland Institute conducted a survey that found one-in-five mail-in voters committed voter fraud during the 2020 US Presidential Election.

These are merely the people who admitted to illegal voting practices. Around 21% admitted that they filled out a ballot, in part or in full, on behalf or someone else, while 19% admitted they permitted someone else to vote on their behalf. Another 17% admitted they signed a ballot on behalf or a family member of friend without their permission.

An alarming 17% of mail-in voters surveyed admit they illegally voted in a state where they do not reside. Democrats (36%) were more likely than Republicans (24%) to vote by mail, but both admit to outright voter fraud. If anything, Republicans were slightly more likely to voter fraud, in fact, with 19% admitting to signing a ballot on behalf of a family member or friend compared to 16% of Democrats. As for illegally casting a vote in a different state, 24% of Republicans admitted to doing so compared to 17% of Democrats.

Minorities reported a higher rate of voter fraud as some agencies were paying them to vote. About 29% of Hispanics, 15% of Blacks, and 3% of Whites admit that they were bribed for their vote in the last presidential election.

Justin Haskins, director of the Socialism Research Center at the Heartland Institute, called the survey results “nothing short of stunning.” “For the past three years, Americans have repeatedly been told that the 2020 election was the most secure in history. But if this poll’s findings are reflective of reality, the exact opposite is true. This conclusion isn’t based on conspiracy theories or suspect evidence, but rather from the responses made directly by the voters themselves,” he added.

Now these are merely the people who were honest enough to admit that they voted illegally. Perhaps those against voter fraud should spin the story and say that in-person voting with identification is necessary to prevent Trump, not Biden, from stealing the election.
