I think we all realize that our open southern border is a real problem. Illegal aliens are raping, murdering, stealing our identities and assaulting our citizenry, not to mention sucking up welfare dollars by the billions and devastating our medical facilities and our economy in general.
What do we hear from the media? We need the illegal aliens here, the Mexicans are doing the jobs that Americans won’t do. Well, for once, the media is right.
But it’s not picking cabbage or washing dishes that Americans won’t do, Americans have always done that. So what job won’t Americans do?
There are two huge industries that need workers…and Americans won’t do it. Americans don’t do it. In order for these multi-billion dollar businesses to survive, Illegal Aliens have to do the work.
I’m talking about Drug and Human Trafficking and they are both big business. Someone has to run these drugs. Someone has to sell these drugs. Someone has to kidnap American Citizens and sell them to prostitution rings. Someone has to kidnap American Citizens and hold them for ransom. And Americans just won’t do it.
Mexico City leads the world in kidnappings. But guess who is number 2? Moscow? Nope. Bogota, Columbia? Nope. How about Phoenix, Arizona? You got it. The internationally enormous Phoenix, Arizona. Why would Phoenix be number 2 in the world for kidnappings? Very simple…its proximity to the U.S.-Mexico Border. A person is kidnapped every day in Phoenix. They are held for ransom or sold into prostitution rings.
What is our government doing about this alarming problem? When Compean and Ramos, two border patrol agents, shot a drug smuggler/illegal alien, Osbaldo Aldrete-Davila of Mexico in the buttocks as he tried to escape, the two hero border patrol agents were given medals of valor….no wait, that’s what should have happened. Nope, they were sentenced to 11+ years in prison.
The guy they shot had 800 pounds of marijuana in his van. After he was released, he went back to Mexico and was caught again bringing massive amounts of drugs into our country.
But never fear! ABC News has the answer. In the online article about the Phoenix kidnapping problem (Kidnapping Capital of the U.S.A.), they refer to a “Related” story, blaming the problem on our right to own guns (U.S. Guns Arming Mexican Drug Gangs; Second Amendment to Blame?). But they don’t stop there. Their “Related Story” links go on:
U.S. Guns: Drug Gangs’ Weapons of Choice
U.S. Guns: 'Weapons of War' in Mexico
In the ‘U.S. Guns Arming Mexican Drug Gangs’ article, ABC states the problem, as they see it,
“But U.S. efforts to stop the smuggling of tens of thousands of guns to Mexico, including high-powered assault weapons, have been hampered by lenient American gun laws and the Bush administration's failure to give priority to anti-gun smuggling efforts”
In the article, that statement is followed by this sorry excuse for journalism,
“officials tell ABC News for a report Tuesday on ABC News' "World News With Charles Gibson."”
So apparently ABC wants us to believe that multiple “officials” made the exact same statement, and all of them are unnamed. Oh I know, maybe all of these officials said the same thing all in unison and they couldn’t tell who all said it. Yeah, that’s probably it.
ABC, who holds a chair in Barrack Obama’s Department of Propaganda, thinks that disarming American Citizens will solve everything.
Well, it might. Just look at Australia. After banning private gun ownership in 1996 and subsequently confiscating 650,000 guns, crime dramatically dropped…oh wait, I had that report upside down. I guess it didn’t work. Homicides are up 3.2%. Assaults are up 8.6%. Armed Robberies are up 45%. In Victoria, gun homicides are up 300%. And there has been a reported “Dramatic Increase” in home burglaries and assaults on the elderly.
In 1997, the UK banned private gun ownership and in the 2 years following the ban, the use of handguns in crime rose by 40%.
But hey, just because it has failed everywhere it has been tried, doesn’t mean it won’t work here.
Now let’s take a look at the opposite scenario. In 1981, Kennesaw, Georgia had a crime rate much higher than the national average, (4,332 per 100,000 as opposed to the national average of 3,899 per 100,000). But in March of 1982, the town passed an ordinance requiring each head of household to own and maintain a gun.
But despite the predictions of increased violence and “Wild West” style showdowns, there hasn’t been a single resident involved in a fatal shooting since the passage of that law. Ah, but what happened to the crime rate? Well, it went from 4,332 per 100,000 in 1981 to 2,027 per 100,000 in 2005. Yeah, but that’s a “per capita” rate, what happened to the population? Prior to the law, Kennesaw had a population of 5,242. In 2005, the population had increased to 28,189.
So ignoring empirical evidence, facts and logic, the media thinks making it easier for illegal aliens to come here and abolishing the Second Amendment is the solution to our crime problem. But hey, when has the press ever been interested in facts and logic?
And now that their messiah is in office and the love affair has moved to the next level, hang on to your guns, the assault is coming. The President is limited in his power, the Press is not. The War on our Freedom is here…the President is a pawn, the Press is the Enemy.
The good news is, the Press only has the power we the people give them, so let’s join together and strip them of their power. Stop watching and reading network news, start writing letters. Let them know how you feel about their Anti-American bias, slander and outright lies. Stop patronizing their sponsors and let them know why. Get your news from only reliable sources like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Mark Levine and others like them. Patronize their sponsors and let them know why. Stop reading the New York Times and Newsweek and start reading the Washington Times and National Review. Together we can stop this attack on our Constitution, together we can cut them off at the knees.
Write your elected officials, write the networks, write the papers, write the sponsors and write them all often. Don’t wait for your voice to be heard, make it heard.

The MSM is the enemy ... and needs to be treated accordingly
This could have been written by a sociologist. It shows a firm grip on the obvious.
ABC and the others can KMA.
IF they want to show up here in the middle of the night to try and persuade me otherwise:
I have my own “persuader” and I will use it.
Excellent, indeed!
Thanks!
They are a more formidable enemy than the democrat party. THEY are where we should direct our fire.
Thanks for posting.
Does the media lie? More than you can imagine.
I was letting everyone know the two subjects the article covered.
MSM, the Enemy Within
it's like a cancer, metasticizing socialist syptoms and aggrandizing anti-nationalism.
Combined with the entertainment industry , like a bacterial infection, eating away at morality
it's not "Change", it's an illness that if left untreated leads to death
Turn them off for good, and ridicule them as organs of the Obama administration (which is essentially true) whenever someone uses them as a source.
not to mention the effect on the economy of BILLIONS of $'s EACH MONTH (yes that's not a misprint billiions a month !) sent home to Mexico in small increments weekly by immigrant workers ( not spent here)
Good summary...but also there are other groups who are promoting Illegal Alien Amnesty...
Hispano-Racist groups (La Raza, MALDEF)
Most Democrats
RINOs (McCain, Grahamnesty)
US Chamber of Commerce (Anti-American Collective of Communists)
The Mexi-Narcos and the Mexican government
Its a multi-faceted approach from America-haters of all kinds
I will add another reason the MSM is our enemy.
As crazy as it is (since they have a direct stake in it) they are also against our First Amendment rights. Since they figure the government won’t be telling them what they can air or write, they have no problem shutting up Limbaugh, Hannity, and the rest. What these asswipes don’t realize is that we all need to watch each others backs to keep the government off of ours. But since these haters of LIBERTY don’t mind being the propagandists of the NEW STATISTS that is infecting our country, we may be slipping into another Dark Age. As long as their BS liberal programs get some attention by the Statists that’s all their concerned with.
Asswipe lurking reporter, they’ll be coming for you next.
Isn’t it enough that the government extorted fees in the first place to run these radio stations. Whatever happens, the Conservative movement will only get stronger. And when we regain Congress next time we will stay on top of those that are elected so they don’t get carried away with themselves like they did last time.
The MSM is our enemy, but 80 % of the retards still get their news that way. Conservatives are to blame for not investing in these areas and shunning the arts, teaching and journalism fields. The result is a Marxist influenced elite that intends to establish a dictatorship over us.
A friend of mine, years ago, who was majoring in sociology, described it as “market research for the welfare state”.

Ping!
I’m talking about Drug and Human Trafficking and they are both big business.
He missed one industry that is the key to both of the above:
The currency export business, one that helps hold the dollar as the world's reserve currency. The bankers get to produce, print, and loan against those dollars, then they leave the country to "curb inflation."
Look no further than the Federal Reserve.
