Kerry slams Trump's wall, tells grads to prepare for 'borderless world'
Washington Examiner ^ | 5/6/16 | PETE KASPEROWICZ

Posted on 05/08/2016 7:42:40 AM PDT by AndyJackson

Secretary of State John Kerry took a shot at Donald Trump during his Friday commencement speech at Northeastern University, by saying no wall is big enough to keep dangerous terrorists out of the United States.

"Many of you were in elementary school when you learned the toughest lesson of all on 9/11," he said. "There are no walls big enough to stop people from anywhere, tens of thousands of miles away, who are determined to take their own lives while they target others."

"So I think that everything that we've lived and learn tells us that we will never come out on top if we accept advice from sound-bite salesmen and carnival barkers who pretend the most powerful country on Earth can remain great by looking inward," Kerry added. "And hiding behind walls at a time that technology has made that impossible to do and unwise to even attempt."

Kerry didn't mention Trump by name, but Trump has repeatedly called for a wall on the southern U.S. border, and many Democrats, and some Republicans, have taken to calling him a carnival barker.

Kerry also seemed to dismiss the importance of national borders, and said technology has reshaped the world into one that the U.S. must engage at the risk of being left behind. He said Trump and others who want to look inward are making a mistake, even in the face of rising tension and violence in the world.

"For some people, that is all they need simply to climb under the sheets, close their eyes and push the world away," Kerry said. "And shockingly, we even see this attitude from some who think they ought to be entrusted with the job of managing international affairs."

"The future demands from us something more than a nostalgia for some rose-tinted version of the past that did not really exist in any case," he said. "You're about to graduate into a complex and borderless world."

A borderless world?

Most other nations, INCLUDING MEXICO, are very protective of their borders.

Mexico is protective of their southern border, because they don’t like what is coming in from the south. They don’t mind the open northern border, because they get about $20 billion in money coming from across their northern border.

Kerry only has the money to back up his political grandstanding because he married the wealthy widow of good PA Republican Senator John Heinz who then turned traitor to the Republicans and conservatives, like Ha Ha, she has the old man’s money now.

You can be sure that you can’t just walk onto Kerry’s properties without going through some kind of gated security.

This is the kind of blatant stupidity that we've come to expect from Lurch. How do people this stupid get into the highest positions in our government?

The reemergence Vicente Fox and his profane comments about Trump prompt me to resurrect my "blast from the past" (FROM 2001) concerning the Bush clan's participation in the destruction of America's sovereignty! That Bush "participation" almost certainly explains why we REJECTED JEBBY!

It took obozo's addition of the muzzies to the mix to assemble -– FINALLY – a critical mass of our fellow citizens to begin what I PRAY is a movement to put a halt to our GLOBALIST OLIGARCH PLANNED national suicide!

 photo TREASON IN SIERRA MADRE_zpsjzj9y4sb.jpg In ABSTRACT terms, this is the conspiratorial view of what’s going on vis-à-vis the INVASION of the illegals here:

The current alien invasion from the south serves BOTH the elites who run Mexico – and many of the OTHER states of Central and South America -- and the political ruling class who increasingly run the United States:

· It takes pressure off the 60 or so families who control approximately 80% of the wealth in Mexico. Without the northern “safety valve” (the United States) for their poor, those poor MIGHT be inclined to do what America’s early colonists found it necessary to do: Revolt! Parenthetically, that would be MY suggestion for them: Instead of fleeing here – and converting “here” to a larger, more poverty infested version of “there,” they ought to stay there and make “there” into their version of “here,” whatever that would be. Revolutions ARE messy and there are no guarantees thatTREACHERY they will produce the desired result. But – according to one T. Jefferson – they are often necessary. Never forget that THIS country was born in revolution!

· For the NAFTA/CAFTA coveting US national ruling class – especially those who, in varying degrees, quest after some sort of One-World utopia run by guess who? – it provides yet another level of insecurity and tension among the indigenous populace which can be used to justify new and more draconian limits to freedom here. Instead of securing the borders, allow millions of illegals to come in and when the natives become alarmed, require a national ID card. “Your papers, please!” will soon become a phrase familiar to all. It’s Mr. Franklin’s trade of freedom for (false) security. It’s also the time-tested Hegelian Dialectic the One-Worlders have successfully worked like a rented mule.

While they occasionally squabble among themselves, the elites of history have ALL had one thing in common: They will do ANYTHING to remain in charge. And throughout that history, except for the 230 year-old experiment in freedom called “America,” most of the men who have walked the earth have lived as slaves to these elites whether they call themselves kings, emperors, potentates, sultans, czars – or presidents.

Get ready, folks. Unless some SERIOUS changes are made and the handful of Americans who CARE about liberty get involved, that history will almost certainly repeat here.

Now for the SPECIFICS of the matter:

My take on Bush's role in all of this is:

1. His long and apparently positive experience with the large hispanic population in Texas is largely responsible for his inaction on this alien invasion. And why wouldn't HIS experience with them be positive as he traveled in the highest, best-educated circles among them, not the Hispanic gangbangers and pine-straw spreaders...

2. His brother Jeb is married to a native of Mexico and his nieces and nephews are mixed blood. And before you scream "ethnocentric bigot" at me, there's nothing inherently wrong with that. But that fact -- and the first item -- DOES predispose him to a warm and fuzzy feeling for folks from south of the Rio Grande.

And if -- in some strange and metastasizing American desire for a new royal family dynasty -- Jeb should win the White House, I'd bet that HIS activities toward this alien invasion will make W's behavior look like a warm-up exercise.

Any vestige of white European culture in America will be a distant memory.

The Clitons, like all globalists lie about the result of free trade. The really delusional are still clinging to their lies and closing their eyes to the destruction it's causing to this country.

Kerry, he’s just an idiot.

If that were only true, we can survive idiots, traitors are another matter entirely.

I borrowed this book from my local library:

http://www.amazon.com/Boom-Bust-Exodus-Maquilas-Cities/dp/0199765618

Every FReeper should read it. It’s an interesting book.

If the Clinton Crime Syndicate ever takes over this country, heaven forbid, Jerky John Kerry will be playing a major role in deconstructing our country. What a horror show that will be. Horror Show Hillary and her sidekick, JFKerry. Like under Obama, no more COLAS for good Americans in their Social Security checks and federal and postal retirement checks because the Clintons and their big banking allies and globalist cronies need that money to give an illegal alien or foreign refugee a free house next to you, sucker.

Genocide for white, working, Christian men and women.

Genocide aided by suicidal white, working, Christian men and women.

There is only one power capable of encouraging the White Christian culture to assist in their own destruction. Jesus declared him to be the prince and power of this world.

Someone ought to tell this dunce that if we had monitored our visa program (and taxpayers are paying for that service, btw), and Jeb Bush hadn’t handed out Florida ID’s like Halloween candy, this might not have happened.

I don’t know the answer to this, but someone here does:

Were any of the 9/11 terrorists American citizens or permanent legal immigrants?

While his statement may have some truth to it, it does indeed thwart those whose commitment and resourcefulness are not that strong. Thus less free access, means diminished capability.

That's like saying security systems and ownership of weapons does not keep dangerous criminals from committing home invasions. Though having both, or even one, limits their success rates significantly.

Interestingly though by making his borderless society comment, it removes any argument that the destruction of America is not a goal, and that those who have been sounding these alarms are to be dismissed as nothing more than conspiracy nutcases. Oops. I knew we could count on Kerry to be as stupid as most have often contended.

No, clearly Mexicans crossing over on foot like they’ve been doing for decades is a newfangled problem of modernity that nothing as simple as a wall can possibly address.

Stopping Muslim terrorists is a different type of problem. Tom

The government flies them over the wall and installs them in your neighborhood or someone else's, but they will become voters and like in London they will become powerful leaders.

Barbara Bush should have raised her own kids, instead of relying of Mexican immigrants to do HER JOB.

Thank you, John Kerry, for being honest about your goal of “borderless world.” It is nice when the globalists are honest about the true agenda of stripping all countries of their national sovereignty.
