Don’t Want A Muslim Registry? Abolish The Census

As President-elect Donald Trump met with Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach — a potential pick for head of the Department of Homeland Security — the internet lit up with the leaked contents of their meeting, triggering another round of talks concerning a possible “national registry” of Americans or immigrants who subscribe to Islam.

While Kobach’s plan involves the George W. Bush-era National Security Entry-Exit Registration System (NSEERS) — a system that remained in place under President Barack Obama until 2011 (only to be replaced with a more comprehensive program) — few caught up to the fact NSEERS only involves the collection and crosschecking of data pertaining to immigrants coming to the United States from Muslim-majority countries. But as news sources ran with the story that Trump could eventually turn this into a registry of American Muslims and immigrants already living in the country, the president-elect’s spokesman Jason Miller reassured the public that no, a registry system targeting Muslims was not in the cards for the Trump administration.

Nevertheless, there is one event in our country’s history that serves as a precedent for a system that could effectively single out and help report on specific Americans and immigrants. But the US government would never be able to put it in place if it wasn’t for the presence of the Census Bureau, an agency that costs billions of taxpayer dollars yearly.

In a recent piece for USA Today, James Bovard explained that the Census Bureau sends “its hefty American Community Survey to more than 3 million households a year,” collecting personal information regarding the resident’s religion, ethnic background, employment history, and even if the resident in question has “difficulty remembering, concentrating or making decisions.”

While the agency threatens those taking the survey with a $5,000 fine for failing to comply with its demands, it never had to answer to its blatant disregard for the law in the 1940s, when the US government had access to information on Japanese Americans thanks to the data collected by Census workers. With detailed information in hand, the Army eventually rounded Japanese Americans up, throwing them in internment camps and making this period in the history of the country one of the most infamous legacies of Democratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

In his piece, Bovard added that the detentions are now “widely recognized … as among the largest civil liberties violations in modern U.S. history,” prompting Congress to vote to compensate victims in 1988. But despite the shame often associated with this episode, it wasn’t until the early 2000s that research unveiled documents proving that the Census Bureau had been an important part in this charade, prompting the agency to admit culpability — but only to a certain extent.

 To this day, the Census Bureau claims it never provided names and addresses of all Japanese Americans. But despite the bureau’s claims, a study carried out by William Seltzer of Fordham University and Margo Anderson of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee proved the Secret Service had access to, at least, all the names and addresses of individuals of Japanese ancestry in the Washington, D.C. area thanks to the bureau.

So if you are concerned that the United States government could — under a Trump administration or a future administration — round up any group of Americans and immigrants based solely on their religion or another particular characteristic, tackling the power and inquisitiveness of the US Census Bureau would be a great first step, helping to trim the government’s power and ensure the privacy and Fourth Amendment rights of all individuals are being properly protected.

Propaganda – How Bad American Press Has Become


madam-president

deweytruman12The release of Newsweek’s now famous Madam President before the election was decided is a mistake that is not intentional. “Dewey Defeats Truman” was another major mistake when the Chicago Daily Tribune on November 3, 1948, announced Truman lost to Dewey. The paper became famous when it was held up by Truman at a public appearance following his successful election, smiling triumphantly at the error. Trump should do the same for history with Newsweek, who printed 125,000 copies, and then recalled them. The asking price has been for $95 to $1,000 a copy.

newsweek-page2

However, the content of this magazine is venomous that demonstrates how bad the propaganda has become in its attempt to brainwash the public. It not only said that Hillary took the high road when she did not running a constant negative campaign, but then Newsweek called the people who supported Trump “deplorables” who asked for the 19th Amendment to be repealed, which prohibits any United States citizen from being denied the right to vote on the basis of sex. Never in all the mud-slinging in this campaign did I ever hear anyone say that women should be denied the right to vote. Who made up this outright lie?

What was truly amazing is that, despite the evolution of propaganda mediums over the centuries, the central methodologies and motivations remain the same. Propaganda is still the tool for spreading messages and influencing opinion often to justify war or Marxist agendas. Propaganda has never been used to benefit society. It has been a vital exercise in the spreading and consolidation of power.

Wartime propaganda has been used in, if not all, of the major wars.  One of the first known uses of war propaganda was employed by Alexander the Great.  After being forced to retreat in a battle, Alexander realized he could not show he was weak and had to retreat.  Instead, he used propaganda to intimidate the opposing army.  Alexander’s army made oversized armor and helmets and left them behind as they retreated.  His intent was that the opposing army would be intimidated and not pursue his army because the oversized armor made Alexander’s army look like giants (Labash, 20 Dec, 2001).

Obama-Hitler-Children

Euro-RefugeePoliticians routinely use children for propaganda. They bring in the children to hide the motive of legislation that whenever the government is doing something shady. This is standard operating procedure and whenever you see any politician signing some bill surrounded by children, read the fine print.

They used children to sell the idea of letting in millions of refugees into Europe when 60% were your males not even from Syria. Children are a fantastic propaganda tool. They pull at the heart-strings of the average person. So always beware when you see any story that uses children to sell an idea. You know they are up to something.

Stein Exploiting the Great Divide between Left & Right Feeding the Cycle of War


jill-stein-green-placard

Green Party donations reached $3.5 million for the election. Stein raked in $7 million+ for a recount that even Obama said was pointless. Stein will keep all the money not spent creating a huge windfall.

War-Cycle-2014

More alarming, Stein is exploiting the great divide between left and right. All of this is warning that we are witnessing the fragmentation of the United States. This is what will lay the seeds for the civil unrest. This is the left trying to force their agenda upon the whole nation, which is not much different from the beginning of the Russian Revolution right down to the youth. No presidential election has ever led to so much discontent in history.

This is part of the entire crisis we face. People like Stein and others will keep up their displeasure of losing. It’s their way or no way. Meanwhile, the mainstream media will contribute to the destruction of our society by constantly blasting Trump for every possible action. They will not allow him to help the nation because they supported Hillary in a conspiracy and they need to vindicate their collapsing polls and public distrust.

California just proved how cracking down on gerrymandering isn’t all it’s cracked up to be

On Monday, California Republican Rep. Darrell Issa was declared the winner of a drawn-out reelection battle. And with his victory, California regained a distinction with which it is quite familiar.

For the fourth time in a decade, not a single one of the state’s 50-plus congressional districts switched parties. Just as in 2010, 2008 and 2006, every single seat returned to the party that previously controlled it.

And if you exclude the post-redistricting election of 2012, only two California districts have flipped parties since 2002. That’s two out of 314 individual races — 0.6 percent. (And one of the…

The national media was under the influence of the Hillary campaign and they assumed that the American Women would elect her only because she was a woman. What they failed to see was the the middle class had been decimated by the politics of the Democrat’s and half of those families were women. Trumps message also brought in more minorities that did either of the past to Republicans that lost to Obama. So it would seem to me that the Trump message (That Hillary was corrupt) worked and he won. Hillary lost the election because of her past actions and then lying about what she did.
