summer of love redux

the world seems to be going to hell as usual. It's 1968 redux. 

been there, done that.

But has anyone noticed that it took Datarepublican to search and figure out where their money is coming from? 

We just watched the Accountant 2: a lot of the backstory is that he is able to connect the dots. (The rest of the movie is a shoot bad guy cliche film)

in contrast to Mayor Adams of NYC, the cops in LA are standing back and the mayor is pretending nothing is wrong.  

and LaughingWolf says follow the money

In point of fact, DataRepublican (small r) has an excellent series of posts on X detailing who is behind the riots, organizing and coordinating, that it’s not limited to California, information on the real Karen Bass, and much more. As usual, she brings receipts. Between her and Mike Benz, who also has up some good info (see this one for example), lots of data and some very good analysis. I sincerely hope they both have good personal security.

A number of NGOs have been implicated in this. Foremost is Coalition for Humane Immigration Rights or CHIRLA, and the photos of signs show they were printed by PSLWEB / Party for Socialism and Liberation. pic.twitter.com/yS7jXkHGJ8

this is of course 1968 redux. And this is their religion.

The bad news is that, by stopping the exporting of criminals and scofflaws, there will be no compromise with those who came simply for jobs and were lured by the NGOs to migrate with promises that the NGOs would "help" them until they got settled. And Biden of course did not bother to screen for criminals, and ignored the Fentanyl crisis and the crime waves that were exacerbated by the same gangs who trafficked humans as a sideline to cover up their crimes.

personally I support these immigrants, but every time I read about the huge number of young men that seem to be taking advantage of this, it reminds me of the Goths. who were fleeing the Huns, and the Romans, knowing they couldn't take all of them, made the mistake of letting some across the river into Roman territory. But then, thanks to corruption, they were exploited, so rebelled....

when the Gothic tribes - the Tervingi and Greuthungi - sought refuge from the marauding Huns, the Romans contemplated the options and eventually allowed them to settle on the Balkan frontier, of course, at a cost. Alliances were made and alliances were broken. Many in Rome remained unhappy with the decision and viewed the Goths as nothing more than barbarians although most of them were, in fact, Christian. Unreasonable demands were made of the new settlers, and they suffered at the hands of unscrupulous commanders. Facing starvation due to inadequate provisions and a lengthy famine, the Goths rose up against the Romans and began a long series of raids and pillaging of the countryside.
