Texas v Feds - still the BIGGEST story?

  Immigration Stupidity  US Feral Government



A couple of months ago Peak Stupidity asked Is the biggest American story of the 21st Century developing?. The story was the conflict between the Feds and Texan law enforcement/military over the invasion underway across the Texas/Mexican border. The Texans are trying to control the situation to some degree, and the Feds are purposely destroying the efforts of the Texans.

Regarding that title, Peak Stupidity has been wrong before. We haven't given up on a President DeSantis yet (got a nice "Make America Florida T-Shirt and hat, if that helps) it doesn't look likely for '24, and obviously there was no real People's Revolt of 22. On this border conflict turning into THE BIG STORY that changes America's course, we'll, I'm encouraged from what I've been reading on VDare.com. I have not found another site that is truly all things immigration as VDare is.

The immigration invasion has been going on for a long time. Let's face it: This is an EXISTENTIAL issue. I wrote about this somewhat facetiously in the long-ago post Too many posts about immigration, you say? - GIT! OFF! MY! LAWN! BLOG! ... From the online Oxford Dictionary:
ex·is·ten·tial /ˌeɡzəˈsten(t)SHəl/ adjective

concerned with existence, especially human existence as viewed in the theories of existentialism.
Check out the Oxford Dictionary's example:
relating to existence. "the climate crisis is an existential threat to the world"
No, that doesn't work for me at all as an example. How about "The Immigration Invasion is an existential threat to Americans."?

Let me put it this way: If this problem or plan (to be truthful about it) comes to fruition, there is no use in us worrying about any other plans or problems. If it's not my country, why should I care? It can go Communist for all I care. I'm OUT. That's why it's a good thing if this problem comes to a head, and soon.

OK, now let's get to the recent articles about what's going on in Texas, at the border and in the government in Austin. First of all, there is no comprehensive* plan by Texas for the full border. It sounds like Governor Abbot is trying to get Texas LE/Guard/etc. to plug the big holes. Eagle Pass, in Maverick County, about 2/3 of the way down the Rio Grande from El Paso to Matamoros at the Gulf, and ~50 miles down from another important part of this story, Del Rio, is a hot spot in this conflict. It is the location of the report by Federale linked-to in that previous post of ours.

The conflict is ongoing still, or just beginning in terms of Feds v Texans (and Feds v Governor Abbott), as opposed to Feds helping illegals and Texans standing down. 4 days ago, this same VDare writer Federale said that The War On Texas’ Border Security Actions Is Beginning.

Yesterday, writer A.W. Morgan reported: Great Replacement Update: Biden Released 100K Illegals In The Last 20 Days yesterday. Also yesterday, Federale noted the words and hopefully actions of the Governor with Governor Greg Abbott Lays Down A Marker: Texas Will Deport Invaders. Interestingly, if as a State official, you're still going to follow the LAW on this (exactly why at this point, I don't know), you - Governor Abbott - have to do it right:
The key for Governor Abbott, if he has the courage to actually begin removing invaders, is that it cannot be called a deportation. It must be worded at every level that the invaders being detained are POWs, illegal combatants, and war criminals, therefore subject to being removed from the battlefield, i.e., being returned to Mexico.
"Federale" is a Federal insider, after all, but I'm not sure this letter-of-the-law business change the minds of the Feral Government's purposely destructive stance one iota on this. I like his next suggestion better:
A further suggestion for Abbott is to close the bridges on the Rio Grande. Those bridges are under the jurisdiction of Texas and punishing Mexico and Mexicans is the only way, aside from military action along the river, that will force Mexico to end the invasion.
I can't excerpt all of the interesting and important reporting in these posts, but I urge the reader to check them out, along with clicking on the few tweet-embedded videos therein.

While the VDare writers in general, and I too, are hopeful and looking forward to serious action against the Fed-supported invasion by Texas Governor Abbott - see writer Washington Watcher II's Texas AG Paxton’s Acquittal Clears Path For Gov. Abbott To Throw Down With Biden To Save The Historic American Nation From The Great Replacement (also by Federale), writer Former Agent is worried that Abbott is just a typical disingenuous politician. On this he is supported by the words of Tucker Carlson, as can be seen in video in the very concerning post of his, Which Way, Governor Abbott?

Who knows what's in the mind of Greg Abbott? I mean, were I in his position - and I really wish I were in the midst of this thing in Texas - I would be happy to have a chance to be a part of history. This guy could be remembered as well as Sam Houston, this time as the start of real Federalist resistance to the Potomac Regime. Is he simply afraid of Fereal Government power and consequences? Is it more the typical deal that he's simply working for the donors while making sure to sound bona fide to the people of Texas?

Patriots around the country would like to see this thing get started. I don't mean a real war right now, mind you, but I think the sooner anyone with some power stands up to the Feds, the better this will turn out. Either way, the invasion is existential. The Potomac Regime is behind it, and patriots and the State of Texas are trying to stop it. We have to win this. The eyes of the Nation should be on Texas and Governor Abbott right now.



* I know, "comprehensive" is ordinarily a bad word in immigration patriot circles, as that normally goes with "reform". Together, the phrase means Amnesty.

PS: SafeNow (11:13AM), you may have my meaning slightly wrong. Those deeds done (dirt cheap) to impede the Feds are, by meaning, done to stop the Feds from arresting Texas lawmen involved in impeding previous Fed actions, such as the blatant cutting of razor wire, not just anywhere, but right where the illegals are setting foot, that they've been doing right in front of the Texans.

The most peaceful way to stop what's going on is by arresting any BP agents acting on behalf of the Regime to destroy efforts to slow down (all it is right now) the invasion. After that, I would hope the other BP agents just stop. They themselves won't go arresting Texas lawmen, due to their mission (they don't even arrest many illegal aliens right now!) and that it's not in their power to do that. So, wouldn't Washington either send down DOJ people or have them come from the nearest Federal Bldg to make arrests of said Texas lawman, guardsmen, etc.?

At that point is when the locals and State MUST do whatever it takes to protect their own from arrest. Remember the Political Prisoners from J6 - they will make this into an insurrection too, as it's closer to one in reality, albeit greatly needed.

We'll see...

PS: Good evening, everyone,

I luv it that Tim immediately thought about firearms when Achmed suggested popping tires. May I suggest a suppressor? With a suppressed firearm one could pop the cameras too.

These are pretty handy...

PS
Mr. M, when I posted my fake intent to give a “plan of procedure” I proclaimed that it would be “specific, blatant, and cacophonous.” Your suggestions are specific (and quite ingenious), but of course you realize that they are not blatant or cacophonous. I don’t blame you a bit… J6 dungeons. What I don’t know the answer to is whether or not your small stuff might actually be counterproductive…maybe the feds would just laugh at these as pinpricks… be relieved… that’s all they’ve got…that’s the worst they will do… we are moving 10,000 a day across the border and that’s what they’ve got. But maybe mischievous small stuff at the border is better than nothing, I acknowledge that.

PS Texas will lose. The national border is a national issue. And the Feds are better armed. However, a tactical loss might be a political gain for Gov Abbott. By attracting at least a little attention to the invasion, it might be a political gain for us.

PS: I like to hear from the experts on all subjects here, Tim. '-} Thanks. By "popping" I was thinking of walking by with a cordless drill. Valve stem removal is good too.

BTW, yeah, there are cameras everywhere. Feds could prove all sorts of things, but the idea is to be on the offensive and stay there. They won't have time and maybe not the venue either, to obtain "justice". Or let them subpoena your deputies, while you take care of the important matters. And, you don't show up to court. We've learned that you don't have to... from many millions of illegal aliens.

"popping the tires..."

Pull the valve stems from the tires -- no gunfire, and much quieter. Some auto stores still sell the valve caps with the little tool for unscrewing the stems.

PS: Regarding the dumb looks, a secretary type long ago had an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper on the wall of her office with things like: Helping you with your personal problem - $10, Fixing your typos - $5 and stuff like that. The last one was: "Dumb looks are still free."

PS: The way I see it, SafeNow, is that it's not a good idea to telegraph your next moves to the Feds, if you are, say (a Patriotic*) Greg Abbott. Not only will the bureaucracies be more ready to counter, but it's the pride thing too (not the BLT-G++ pride).

Just be ready, and next time a Fed or two cut(s) the wire, you've got a small team to arrest him right there on the spot. Video would be fine, but you keep it to yourselves until you want to show the rest of the Texans, hence the Feds. So, the guy's in a county jail for quite a while until the Feds even find out what happened, much less come up with a plan.

Or, you lay down more wire when the guy's cutting it and fence the fucker inside.

You just keep doing small reactions in various ways, so that the Feds can't handle it. You keep setting precedents. Bus a few thousand of these "migrants" right across one of the bridges quickly and quietly. You show video evidence when it's appropriate. Above all, you stand up for each other, every man in every agency in Texas.

Oh, small stuff too, popping the tires of vehicles at the Federal buildings - local sheriffs can get away with a lot. It doesn't have to start off as a shooting war. Maybe it never has to be, but then, the people who want this invasion really want it, and they've been getting their way for decades.

* Because we just don't know if he really is.

“stands up to the Feds” - Moderator

President Frederic March, faced with a threat to the nation, says
“Here is the plan of procedure.” He then specifies the actions to be taken.
Mr. M., “stands up to” is not a plan of procedure. Understandable. In my long history of reading Unz, I have never seen anyone post a specific plan of procedure. Understandable. After all, who wants a “knock and talk.” Or worse, much worse. Well, I am going to break with all of this, and specify a plan of procedure. I will be specific, blatant, and cacophonous. Just kidding. Do do you think I am an idiot? I will play it safe. And if perchance there is a “knock and talk” anyway, I will put on “the stupid look” and will be adjudged as harmless. I practice the stupid look in front of a mirror, although a Chinese-American woman once told me I don’t need to practice, it comes naturally.
