U.S. Will Tighten Passport Rules (for citizens while advocating amnesty for illegals)

I have been a little disgusted by the government's failure to secure our borders for some time. Now I am just plain furious.

I went to my hometown for a reunion yesterday. (It is not far away, but I don't get there too often). When I drove by the old atheletic field, which is no longer used for footbal since they built a new high school, I noticed maybe a hundred people there. They appeared to be 100% Mexican. They were playing soccer and others were watching.

We later stopped by Wal-Mart and I began to notice a large percentage of the shoppers were Hispanic. I finally just started keeping a rough count and I would say less than a third of the people there were of European descent.

I grew up in this town, DeFuniak Springs, Florida which is in the panhandle and at the time I doubt there were more than two or three Hispanics in the entire county.

I recall reading many years ago that Walton County was at one time over 60% Scottish ancestry. The rest was mixed, English, Black and other European.

If something is not done about our borders this will no longer be America as we knew it but something like North Mexico.

I do guess that Saturday is not a typical sampling but still there must be a huge number of Mexicans in the area.

Take more of our rights, and do nothing about the invasion.

The unalienable right to cross the border into our country without a passport?

No such thing.

We're not talking about "abroad," we talking about Canada and Mexico. And continued shrinkage of the freedoms of Americans to come and go as they please.

Canada and Mexico just as well. Proving that you belong here when you enter is a good thing even when coming from Canada and Mexico.

So the little Nazis in Washington have punished the innocent while the criminals go free.

It's good German time, aye? ...know what you mean, man.

No, I don't have a problem with showing passport proof upon re-entry. I'm just drawing attention to the fact that our current leadership is perfectly content with letting millions of illegals poor through our unprotected boarders while at the same time demanding extra proof from citizens who seek to re-enter the US LEGALLY.

If you don't have a problem with it then there is no irony -- unless all things good to you are ironic because bad things still exist.

==If you don't have a problem with it then there is no irony -- unless all things good to you are ironic because bad things still exist.

Never mind...if your moral vision prevents you from perceiving the forest of misplaced priorities for the trees, no amount of information is going alter your preferred reality.

Or to put it in the words of CS Lewis:

"Now the trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed."

Never mind...if your moral vision prevents you from perceiving the forest of misplaced priorities for the trees, no amount of information is going alter your preferred reality.

Misplaced priorities?

I've not prioritized anything. Both the proper amount of man power on the border plus the requirement of proper identification -- a passport -- are needed. Yet you in your "judgement" think that there is a priority to it.

What's the point of having armed guards every two hundred feet on the thousands of miles of borders if you're not going to require adequate identification for the people the guards would encounter?

This is not an improper solution. This is half of what we need. This is traveling 10 miles on a 20 mile trip. This is progress. There is no down side to this solution. This is not an inappropriate solution. There is no irony to it.

If it takes you two steps to get to the bathroom in the morning, you "TapTheSource" would never take the first step because you would think it ironic.

That's your logic. You are a dunce.

No, I don't have a problem with showing passport proof upon re-entry....demanding extra proof from citizens who seek to re-enter the US LEGALLY.

Saying you have no problem with passport proof and then complaining about demands of extra proof from citizens?

You contradict yourself, or more like you outed yourself. Either way, you're stoopid.

I see I touched a nerve, but given your lack of moral clarity, you're probably not sure about what's bothering you. Let me give you a hypothetical. Let's say terrorists set off a series of large conventional bombs or a small nuclear device in a densely populated area of the US. And let's say someone like Bill Gertz writes and article about it proving that the terrorists entered the US through our vast unsecured boarder with the assistance of Mexican Coyotes. His concluding remark could very well read something like this:

"The final IRONY is that when the US finally decided to act, rather than face the real problem, it chose to beef up passport requirements at its tiny boarder checkpoints. Due to political pressure from various special interests, our porous 2,000 mile boarder with Mexico was deliberately and continuously ignored until it was too late. Now we have suffered untold numbers of casualties, tens of thousands of lives have been needlessly incinerated, and one of our fair cities lies in ruins." Does the irony begin to emerge, or are you still in the dark, FreeReign?

Yup and before you know it each state will require a passport for entry.

==Yup and before you know it each state will require a passport for entry.

A very scary thought, but if something really big happens, or a wave of smaller attacks, what you say could very well come true (and it's exactly what the Islamo-Commie terrorists want to happen).

The goals and methods of Communism

Yet it seems almost incredible that any ideology could lead to well-coordinated deception on such a huge scale. Whenever the word "Communism" is mentioned, most people think of a philosophy, a political theory, an economic system, or perhaps a political party. But Communism is none of these. Before we can understand the Communist role in strategic deception and terrorist warfare, we must answer one critical question: What is Communism?

Karl Marx and V.I. Lenin are widely known as the founders of Communism. However, not everyone who professes the ideology of Marx and Lenin is a true Communist. Lenin himself defined Communism as an international organization, akin to the Mafia, whose members would constitute an elite corps of professional revolutionaries.[40] As he described it in 1902, "In form such a strong revolutionary organization in an autocratic country may also be described as a 'conspiratorial' organization... such an organization must have the utmost secrecy."[41] Shortly after seizing control of Russia in 1917, Lenin revealed the secret of Communist success in a booklet, declaring that "The Bolsheviks could not have maintained themselves in power... unless the strictest, truly iron discipline prevailed in our Party."[42] Naive believers in Marxist ideology are constantly purged from the Party, for the organization can rely only on those people blindly willing to obey orders.[43] Communism explicitly disavows all moral rules, and its members must constantly shift tactics, sometimes even carry out seemingly anti-Marxist actions, as its leadership adapts the revolution to changing circumstances.[44] Thus Communists possess the fanatic discipline needed to carry out deception on a scale beyond the imagination of most outsiders, including staging their own alleged "collapse."

The ultimate goal has been stated openly by every major Communist leader since Karl Marx: a world government dominated by the Communists.[45] Lenin described how, to overthrow existing governments, the Communists organize parallel revolutions in each country. Most of the Communist Party structure must operate underground, invisible to the larger population, while it uses both legal and illegal methods, including deception and, in Lenin's own words, "terrorism."[46] Its secret members, operating under strict orders, infiltrate the highest levels of the target government and its military, as well as the labor unions and other popular movements, the communications media, and even the anti-Communist opposition itself.[47] From these positions, the Communists can orchestrate an apparently spontaneous, violent revolution, while paralyzing the efforts of the target government to respond effectively. The confused population, unaware of the well-organized forces behind the crisis, negotiates a series of compromises leading to further instability and finally to the victory of Communism.

As growing numbers of nations fall to the revolution, it becomes possible to reunite them under a Communist world regime.[48] This is being carried out in a two-stage process. The transition step to this "new world social order," as American Communist William Z. Foster called it,[49] involves merging the newly captive nations into regional governments.[50] The Communists have explicitly worked toward creating a united Europe,[51] a united American hemisphere,[52] a pan-African regional entity,[53] and, for the Middle East, a pan-Arab regime.[54]

Marxism-Leninism, then, is not an ideology, but a strategy for achieving world revolution. Communists are the disciplined members of an international organization that uses Marxist-Leninist techniques. And terrorism is a key ingredient in the success of such revolution. To see how the entire strategy works, we now turn to an overview of Communist revolutions in action.

Wars of national liberation

Because open warfare against target governments would simply lead to defeat, the Communists always disguise their revolutions as civil wars. They camouflage their intentions by pretending to fight for the liberation of one class of people from another, using a divide-and-conquer technique against a nation's social structure. This method is referred to as a "war of national liberation," and it adapts its tactics to the unique circumstances of each country. Such a war can pit industrial workers against capitalists, as in Russia, Catholics against Protestants, as in Northern Ireland, blacks against whites, as in South Africa--or Arabs against Jews, as in Israel. The Communists do not openly identify themselves, acting instead as representatives of the supposedly "oppressed" class of people.

By painting their revolution as a spontaneous uprising of "oppressed masses," the Communists hope to convince the target population that it faces an unwinnable war rooted in fundamental social tensions. If the government is also paralyzed and cannot stop the terrorism, public morale quickly drops and the weakening government loses popular support. Believing that the revolution must eventually win, the population abandons active opposition to the terrorists and instead sues for peace at any cost. The perception ultimately becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy as the government collapses altogether.

Any "war of national liberation" can be divided into seven steps:

Step 1) To establish themselves in the minds of the target population as a force to be reckoned with, the revolutionaries must first force a heavy-handed reaction by the government. Their tactics are based on a 1969 book by Brazilian Communist Carlos Marighella, the Mini-Manual for Urban Guerrillas, which has been translated and distributed to terrorists throughout the world. Marighella explained how to use such frightening violence that "the government has no alternative except to intensify repression. The police roundups, house searches, arrests of innocent people, make life in the city unbearable... The political situation is transformed into a military situation, in which the militarists appear more and more responsible for errors and violence... The urban guerrilla must become more aggressive and violent, resorting without letup to sabotage, terrorism, expropriations, assaults, kidnappings and executions, heightening the disastrous situation in which the government must act."[55]

Step 2) Having provoked a harsh reaction by the target government, the Communists now flood the Western news media with stories of government atrocities, real or fabricated. The goal is to begin isolating the government from Western, primarily American, support. The revolutionaries label convicted terrorists as "political prisoners"; they invent elaborate stories of secret prisons and "death squads"; and they hide among civilians during fighting, causing the government to kill innocent people accidentally. Such heads of state as Chiang Kai-shek of China, Anastasio Somoza of Nicaragua, and the Shah of Iran have been portrayed as corrupt and repressive. The South African government has been painted as being violently racist, while the French colonial administration in Algeria and the British rule in Northern Ireland have been labeled as undemocratic. Similar publicity attacks have been used against South Korea, Vietnam, the Philippines, Rhodesia, El Salvador, Argentina, and dozens of other nations. The news media has always cooperated in these smear campaigns, never allowing the target regime a fair chance to respond to the charges.

Step 3) The Communists can now count on the U.S. State Department to pressure the target government to begin giving in to the revolutionaries, supposedly for the sake of "human rights." The regime offers compromises, including political reforms, the release of captured terrorists, and military cease-fires, which allow the terrorists to regroup and seize territory. But the revolutionaries also increase their demands, taking advantage of the government's weakened image.

Step 4) As the government loses prestige, the Communists escalate the revolutionary violence and general unrest. They organize mass demonstrations, which agitators turn into riots. Labor unions go on strike, building toward a general labor strike that cripples the entire economy. Marxist professors in the universities indoctrinate and recruit naive youth, who join the growing ranks of Communists and terrorists. And some Communist agents even infiltrate local religious organizations, masquerading as priests or other clergy so as to neutralize opposition and recruit more people into the revolution. This can be seen, for example, in the Liberation Theology movement in the Catholic and Protestant churches, which teaches that Jesus was a Marxist revolutionary. Liberation Theology is active today in many parts of Latin America, Africa, and the far East.

Step 5) Since the Communists are only a tiny minority of the population, they must create the illusion of popular support. By waging terrorist warfare against the very people they claim to be liberating, the revolutionaries can frighten the people into passive or even active support of the revolution. In China and Nicaragua, the Communists murdered peasant farmers in rural villages; in Algeria, they maimed and killed Arab muslims; in Northern Ireland, they have killed thousands of Catholics while "kneecapping" thousands more with guns and electric drills;[56] in South Africa, they have burned to death many hundreds of blacks with "necklaces"--tires soaked in gasoline, placed around the victim's neck, and lit on fire.[57] The revolutionaries accuse the victims of "collaborating" with the government, sending a powerful message to the rest of the population not to resist.

Step 6) Now the Communists are ready to enter the final phase of their revolution. With the target government steadily losing control over the country, the revolutionaries step up general terrorist violence while simultaneously negotiating for a new government. To accomplish this, the Communists often must split their revolutionary movement into two wings: an extremely violent faction pretending to oppose any peace agreement, and a more political faction that projects an image of pragmatism. The two factions secretly coordinate their activities, carrying out a "good cop/bad cop" scenario. Frightened by the escalating terrorism of the revolutionaries, the government makes concessions to the seemingly moderate faction, hoping to discourage the forces of violence. As the Communists tighten the vise, the government bargains away its remaining strength.

Step 7) Finally, in the name of democracy and "human rights," the U.S. State Department withdraws its support from the embattled regime, using diplomatic pressure to force out the old government entirely and replace it with another. The Communists have by this time maneuvered themselves into position to join the new coalition government. Because this new regime is weak and divided, the Communists quickly move to consolidate total power for themselves. Their naive liberal allies are executed, followed by systematic mass terror against the whole population. A Communist regime has been imposed.

These seven steps describe the pattern of a war of national liberation. This strategy has been used, with slight variations, against almost every nation now under Communism, and is well under way for many remaining non-Communist nations.[58] As we have seen, terrorism is a cornerstone of this strategy.
