Never Mind the Cat-Eating; the Damage to Small Town America is Very Real
Chronicles Magazine ^ | Oct 25, 2024 | Brian Lonergan

Americans have been told by their government and media that disinformation is all around them, and that is not entirely false. One of the corporate mediaโ€™s favorite tactics for swaying public opinion is to isolate a small part of a story, claim to debunk it, and then to declare the larger point of the story also to be without merit.

We saw a glaring example of this recently with the story out of Springfield, Ohio. The town of less than 60,000 residents between Dayton and Columbus has been swamped over the last few years with more than 20,000 migrants from Haiti. At a townhall meeting in August, residents aired their grievances about the impact of the migrants on the town, including accounts that migrants were catching ducks and cats for the purpose of eating them.

The sensational claim was all the media needed to draw attention away from the larger issues surrounding the mass importation of migrants into small-town America.

We need to be well-versed in the leftist strategy of narrowing an issue to it's most extreme and implausible details. They are experts at it.

The good part is that fewer people read or listen to the legacy media and leftist podcasts are outgunned in numbers by their conservative or libertarian competitors.

Very smart. They’re red. They’re thinking long term.

The goal is to Balkanize the US and have a totalitarian country like Yugoslavia.

You mean small towns can’t just absorb a new bunch of folks nearly the same number as the town? Guess the press is not affected by that?

It all started when the meat packing plants in small towns in the middle of the country began hiring immigrants (mostly from Mexico) instead of the local population. Go into any small town with a Tyson/JBS/Cargill meat factory and you will notice the amount of Spanish signage

Yes, it is. Osama Bin Liden claimed that as one of wishes/goals.

You can’t swing a cat without hitting a Haitian in some small towns. Pres Trump said last night thst in one town, the popu,action of citizens, legal ones that is, is 50,000, and plane loads of 30,000 Haitians showed up, almost doub.ing the population, straining resources!

Glad somebody is finally calling attention to the real problem. The cat eating was true, but the damage goes far beyond harm to cats.

The same can be said about the construction industry. At least of construction laborers don't speak English at any proficient level. This communication problem creates a lot of exposure for error in critical systems. As a result, the quality of construction and roads in this country have fallen considerably.

Even if it were a SINGLE cat that was targeted and eaten by an immigrant, that would be an infinite increase from ZERO cats being eaten by the local population. It would still be a significant change.

Furthermore, the damage to small town America is the whole point.

Incidentally, this has been happening all over western Europe as well. So not just our own Democrats doing this.

Yes, the equivalent of "no one can have nice things anymore."

Big Ag is always on the hunt for cheaper labor.

Delta, Utah. they have a couple of massive ‘egg factories’ just outside of town. When the (illegal) Mexicans demanded more pay, they imported folks (illegals) from Peru.

What did that gain this rural Utah town?

melee? no, a drunken brawl - celebrating Independance for Peru turns into a mess.

Add in the mass of out-of-town construction workers (many illegals) for the big power plant and solar farms and many locals are not all that happy with things...

I’m lucky enough that even though I live in a small town, it has a very large police presence because the highway that runs through it is a major drug pipeline. The cops were here long before the floods of illegals came through. As such, we never really saw a flood of illegals. Now, out of state license plates are a different story.

I remember Tyson in the 1990โ€™s posting billboards in south Texas and Mexico for jobs in Arkansas. Free transportation from south of the border. That crap should have been stopped then, but look where we are now. ๐Ÿ™
