The number of immigrants has surpassed 3 million immigrants entering the United States. That is more people than 5 State populations combined. Immigrants crossing the border has been a rising issue in the United States, more so since the lift on section 42 in June of 2023, which brought us back to Title 8- allowing immigrants to seek asylum. Under the Biden Administration, over 1 million immigrants have been allowed to enter the US. Both the right and the left mocked Donald Trump for building a wall, being deemed “racist and unnecessary.” Trump requested 5.7 billion to go towards this project of building the wall, and everyone put up a fit, leading to a government shutdown in 2019. Now, Biden wants to sign a bill of $118.2 billion to fund Ukraine and Israel. How that seems logical still beats me.
Hungary has already seen a tremendous number of illegal migrants drop since they finished building their fence to put a stop to illegals entering the country. From just over 6 thousand people a day entering, their numbers are down to about 870. The fencing is 96 miles long with razor wire that sends electric shocks to anyone who tries to pass. This is a huge step toward making sure that they are monitoring who comes into their country without the flood of immigrants who are there illegally to come in. A spokesperson for the Hungarian government said: “You might not like it, it’s not a nice thing, but … the only way to stop illegal border crossings is [to] first build a fence, man it, equip it, and also, in parallel, build up your capabilities in terms of legal confines, legal circumstances to be able to handle what is coming.”
I believe it is not normal for anyone to come in as they please. If governments are trying to protect their people, allowing hundreds of thousands of immigrants into the country at any given time is not the way to do it. It may seem a bit harsh to some to build a wall/ fencing, but this is a way to make sure everyone who tries to come in will take the proper steps to make sure they are brought in legally.

Large demonstrations have been happening throughout Ireland to protest the mass invasion of illegal migrants. As I said, all of the Build Back Better WEF-affiliated nations have sold out their own people to the globalist agenda, which entails replacing the current population with illegal immigrants. These people rely solely on government aid and are the test subjects for ushering in a new socialist state. President Higgins and his administration are standing idle as their nation is invaded. “Irish Lives Matter” is a new movement sparked by citizens who want their leaders to focus on issues at home.
Approximately 141,600 immigrants entered Ireland in 2023, marking the highest number since 2007, and this only includes those who were registered. This population spike comes from 29,600 returning Irish citizens, 26,100 other EU citizens, 4,800 UK citizens, and 81,100 citizens of other countries, including almost 42,000 Ukrainians.
Ireland caved to pressure from the European Union and agreed to the European Commission’s Pact on Migration and Asylum and other initiatives that permit almost anyone to seek asylum in Europe without cause. The sheer number of people entering the nation is changing the entire demographic of the country, and there has been a notable uptick in crime across all nations who have failed to secure their borders. No nation can financially support a new population, and no citizen should be expected to forego their financial or personal safety for such causes.
Ireland wants to stifle any dissent. The “Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offenses) Bill 2022” is one of the most extreme pieces of legislation to prevent free speech. Under this law, people could be IMPRISONED for simply carrying any written material that the government considers “hate speech.”
“Given that President [Éamon] de Valera himself was imprisoned for sedition in 1918, I urge your government to consider the impact of this legislation on Ireland’s proud tradition of free speech,” UN Ambassador Geraldine Byrne Nason reminded the Irish Parliament. You know the situation is dire when even the United Nations steps in to say something has gone too far. “Would the prohibition include ‘recklessly’ attributing social ills, like crime, to increased immigration to Ireland? Would it include ‘recklessly’ affirming that gender is biologically determined and that there are only two genders, male and female?” Vance later questioned.
The Irish Lives Matter movement is quickly growing in popularity. The people are livid and refuse to be silenced.

After Janet Yellen dared to say the IRS needed to track $600 transactions on eBay and CashApps to get the rich, now it is going after those people who are taking money out of the banks and buying real estate for cash. These disgusting Americans have to be hunted down like the English did to foxes and strung up like the good old days. What’s next? They will behead people and stick their heads on the spike around the White House as a warning whatever you earn 100% belongs to her Treasury, and she alone decides what you are allowed to keep.
Yellen is not taking the Biden administration on the hunt for people investing in real estate when she needs that money to hand to Zelensky for this endless war to conquer and destroy Russia. Yellen has stated that she wants to make residential real estate transactions more transparent, targeting people who are buying property in all-cash purchases. She insists this is part of an ongoing effort to combat money laundering and the movement of dirty money through the American financial system. The problem is that her definition of money laundering is now just putting cash in a safety deposit box where the government cannot see it. Money laundering, which is 20 years in prison, was once upon a time a law to go after drug dealers. She has changed the definition to hiding money from the government and avoiding taxes.
The Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network is preparing a regulation that the Uni-Party will pass that would require real estate professionals to report information to the agency about non-financed sales of residential real estate to legal entities, trusts, and shell companies.
All-cash purchases of residential real estate are considered at high risk for money laundering. The rule would not require the reporting of sales to individuals as stated by FinCEN Director Andrea Gacki:
“Illicit actors are exploiting the U.S. residential real estate market to launder and hide the proceeds of serious crimes with anonymity, while law-abiding Americans bear the cost of inflated housing prices”
The nonsense Yellen is claiming this time is that this new regulation is an
“important step toward not only curbing abuse of the U.S. residential real estate sector but safeguarding our economic and national security.”
I have reported that there is a MASS MIGRATION from the Blue States to the Red States. We can see this in the stats from Zillow’s Consumer Housing Trends Report for 2023. Over 40% of real estate sales are taking place in the South, with New England being the lowest in sales and having the highest regulation and taxation.
Most people do not know, but from the very outset of the Biden Administration, targeting real estate was on the agenda as soon as Biden took office. By 2021, the White House had established plans to launch real estate recordkeeping requirements so they could hunt the rich for sport. The excuse was that they wanted to increase transparency in real estate transactions, “diminishing the ability of corrupt actors to launder ill-gotten proceeds through real estate purchases.” Wealth in real estate was unacceptable, for it was not in a bank that would secretly report any suspicious transactions without notice to you.
The Biden Administration hates the rich, for they cannot help being Marxists and only tolerate capitalism begrudgingly. The Biden Administration maintains that real estate is a commonly used vehicle for money laundering due to opaque reporting rules on purchases. The degree to which criminal activity affects housing affordability is his excuse for rising house prices – not his spending or plans for central bank digital currencies where the government can freeze all your assets on a whim as Trudeau did to anyone even donating to the Trucker protest.
Of course, it takes leftist academics to argue that this criminal activity of not paying taxes, which they define as money laundering, impacted home values in Canada. These academics, who can’t stand anyone who has more than they do, asserted that money laundering investment in real estate pushed up housing prices by 3.7% to 7.5%. Canada was especially impacted by foreign capital flowing in from China. In 2022, the federal government passed the Prohibition on the Purchase of Residential Property by Non-Canadians Actto ban foreign investors from buying residential property in Canada and to ensure the housing market remains available to Canadians. They just extended that for another two years, trying to prevent capital inflows. The foreign capital is turning more toward equities than real estate thanks to these leftist academics. They do not even consider that housing has risen because of Trudeau’s reckless spending. The foreign buyers were looking at the high-end of the market – not the average mom-and-pop house.
Yellen’s proposal is absurd. I bought a second home and paid cash to park the money out of a bank. I had to pay by bank wire, not even a certified check because you can stop payment on it or claim it was stolen after settlement. Everything is recorded, and you have to have lawyers on both sides. This does not occur with handing over a pile of cash; nobody knows who you are. I will add that when I bought a house 20 years ago, I had them add my children’s names. It was no big deal. You can’t do that anymore, for they have to report that as a gift and pay taxes on the house’s value. In all honesty, what Yellen is saying is nonsense. I am going through it myself. The money must be wired from a bank, and your bank needs the details of what you are buying. So, the likelihood of this being some money laundering scheme is remote.
As of January 1, 2024, many companies must report information to FinCEN about the individuals who ultimately own or control them. FinCEN began accepting reports on January 1, 2024. I have even to inform them if I move. They want to know everything I own, where I live, and if I move, I need to inform them. In East Germany, you could not move without the government’s permission. It certainly seems we are heading in that direction.
This is an attack on small businesses. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said in January 2024 that over 100,000 small businesses had registered for their new database. The National Small Business Association filed a lawsuit in November 2022 to stop the U.S. database from being created, arguing that it is unduly burdensome on small firms and infringes on states’ rights to regulate businesses. Of course, no federal judge will rule against Yellen regardless of who appointed them. This is a uni-party club. Perhaps now you understand why they MUST stop Trump at all costs. He is not part of the uni-party.
Look at history to see what happens when a nation unarms its citizens. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has taken a strong stance in favor of disarming Canadians as his regime becomes increasingly tyrannical. His administration has introduced several measures aimed at tightening gun laws to reduce any government opposition. Trudeau implemented a ban and mandatory buyback of over 1,500 models of assault-style firearms, including AR-15 rifles, in addition to placing a nationwide freeze on handgun sales and transfers. But who is committing the crimes?
Statistics Canada released a report entitled, “Firearms and Violent Crime in Canada, 2022,” which found that ILLEGAL gun owners commit the majority of gun-related homicides. Out of 113 homicides involving a gun, only 24 deaths were committed by legal gun owners. Out of 49 homicides involving illegally obtained firearms, 36 were unregistered and not legally owned at the time of the crime. There were only 8 cases involving firearms stolen from legal gun owners, but 5 of those 8 guns were purchased illegally from legal owners.
Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights CEO Rod Giltaca stated that he believes the Liberal government, NDP, and Bloc Quebecois have been targeting law-abiding citizens deliberately. “This coalition government has bragged endlessly about their implementation of “the most significant in gun control in a generation”. Not only are more Canadians left terrorized, dead, and injured than in the last 30 years, but they’ve dealt more damage to gun clubs and the law-abiding firearms community than any government in the history of our country.”
Canada has not confiscated guns yet and cannot find a vendor to implement the buyback program. It has been four years since Trudeau announced the program, but no one has put it in motion. Trudeau has seen the increasing rebellion of Canadians and knows that many will not willingly abandon their rights.
Compiling all the data, only 13% of homicides were committed by licensed gun owners (16 of 119 deaths). The Trudeau Administration is clearly targeting legal gun owners as they know that law-abiding citizens are not the problem. These measures embolden criminals as they will find a way to obtain firearms on the black market regardless of legal restrictions. A push for gun control is a push for increased government control over a population that will be helpless and unable to defend themselves.

Canada is delaying the expansion of its MAID (Medical Aid in Dying)program as they cannot find enough doctors willing to kill people who do not have terminal illnesses. Over 13,500 Canadians were legally euthanized in 2022 under MAID. State-sanctioned suicides rose significantly from 2021 (10,064) to 2022, and Health Canada expects the number to skyrocket once the program is expanded. In fact, 4.1% of all deaths in Canada during 2022 were through the MAID program. Suicide is now encouraged by the Canadian health system as they aim to normalize the option for non-terminal ailments.
“Will we evolve into a culture of death as the preferred option for those who suffer from mental illness or will we choose life?” Conservative MP Ed Fast questioned. The expansion scheduled for March 17, 2024, has been temporarily halted as they cannot find enough doctors willing to abandon their Hippocratic oath and become executioners rather than treatment providers. The initial program was aimed at those who were suffering a slow and painful inevitable death, or so it seemed.
(The above chart shows the number of people who changed their minds during the 10-day waiting period)
Pierre Elliot Trudeau, Justin Trudeau’s dad, supported eugenics and population “cleansing.” The Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation provided the initial foundation for the practice by highlighting the scientific achievement of genome sequencing and combining it with the potential for “reducing the burden of disease on themselves and on society as a whole.”
The program was always meant to be a form of eugenics, cleansing the undesirable from the world. Rather than focusing merely on race or disability, the program encourages anyone untaxable to die. Too depressed or poor to work? A lethal injection is the Liberal government’s proposed solution. It did not take long for lawmakers to write bills expanding the criteria for MAID. Poverty, for example, is reason enough for a state-sanctioned execution as people are deemed “too poor to live with dignity.” A disturbing poll from 2023 found that one-third of Canadians supported eliminating the homeless populationunder MAID.
The Trudeau Administration wants to expand this program to include children as well. The same poll found that 24% of Canadians believe that parents should be allowed to kill their terminally ill children without punishment. MAID has been continually expanded to kill off the undesirables, or the “useless eaters,” as Hitler called them.
Canada’s Special Joint Committee recommended that children should have the ability to enter the MAID program without parental consent. They call these children “mature minors,” and state that children may choose death if there is “reasonably foreseeable” death OR have a “mental disorder is the sole underlying medical condition.” Parents are currently losing custody of their children for not permitting them to transition to a different gender. We may see the day when parents lose their children to a sinister health system that has become a serious threat to society as a whole.
MAID teams have infiltrated hospitals and medical facilities and are encouraging people to choose death. There are countless reports of people being harassed by MAID teams in their darkest hour, repeatedly being asked and encouraged to die. These people are being paid by the government to sell the idea of suicide. It is hard even to consider this method “suicide,” as extremely vulnerable people are being coerced into legal execution.

Washington has been compromised by a foreign global power. Protecting America is not a priority, in fact, abolishing America seems to be the priority for our politicians on both sides. New York is providing $53 million to illegals who are above the law, and have even assaulted police officers without consequence. The overall funding involved in the calculated invasion was unsustainable long ago. So where are our leaders sending OUR tax funds? Israel and Ukraine.
In a measure that proves politicians are two wings on the same bird, the Senate released a bipartisan proposal to secure the borders of Israel and Ukraine. Years ago, the very same people who are approving these spending packages were outraged at the proposition of a mere wall between the US-Mexico border, which would have only cost around $12 billion at the time. Washington is now requesting to send $118.2 billion to these two foreign nations.
It is now up to House Republicans to stop this madness. Some only want to fund Israel and not Ukraine. Very few are asking for all the funding to go to the US border. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said preserving Israel’s border is “sacred,” and their war should be funded without question.
America’s national debt has surpassed $34 trillion. US Federal spending has surpassed $6.5 trillion, and the federal budget is operating at a $1.9 trillion deficit. The migrant crisis will cost America untold fortunes. The masses are waking up and realizing that there are no checks and balances in Washington. Our elected leaders are permitted to do as they please with our collective funds while leaving their own people high and dry.
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.

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.
