Yesterday (20jan26) the socialists of Nevada County assembled a small group of Democrats and high school students for a demonstration against ICE’s efforts across the country to arrest and deport people, especially criminals, in the country illegally.  To our proto-communists these federal agents are “fascists” carrying out unconstitutional law enforcement.

Now I think it’s a safe bet that not one of these worthies carrying signs and shouting slogans knows the definition or history of fascism.  They are the obedient useful idiots in the ongoing effort by the Left to destroy America.  You can read their local thought leaders’ daily outpouring in The Union to get an idea of what is happening across the country.  These efforts are part and parcel of a widespread organized movement that is well documented in the just published ‘The Invisible Coup – How American elites and foreign powers use immigration as a Weapon’ (2026) by Peter Schweitzer.

Schweitzer writes – “Every day, ICE is arresting hundreds of illegal immigrants with a criminal record. They didn’t just come here. They were sent here.  Our debates about immigration revolve around what happens with immigrants once they arrive. We need to start talking about who is sending them and why. For decades, establishment elites sold us the story of immigration as a compassionate renewal of the American Dream within a harmonious melting pot.  But beneath that narrative lies a different reality: Mass migration has morphed into the most powerful political weapon ever aimed at the United States—one engineered by elites at home and aided by adversaries abroad.”

This movement is among the many about which our ‘anti-fascist’ leftwing neighbors have no clue. Among these matters of their profound ignorance is the terrible state of California – at or near the bottom of every social metric.  Instead, we hear their daily testimonies of how great things are in California, that it should be the posterchild for the nation’s transformation. They know nothing of the ongoing California exodus which has seen hundreds of wealth creating businesses and tens of thousands of productive middle class workers head for greener and freer pastures.  Today’s most recent news is that Wells Fargo, an historical California company, is relocating to Florida.  In the meanwhile we learn from a new Gallup poll that 66% or 2 of 3 Democrats “view socialism positively”.

These people have for some time now been uneducable.  They were taught in leftwing schools by leftist teachers the ideology of Marxism.  And they maintain this worldview through blindered consumption of progressivist media.  This beat goes on right here in ‘River City’ as we are told that about 200 Nevada Union high school students decided to take the day off from classes and join the demonstrators.  (more here)  Now where did they learn about the ‘fascism’ of the Trump administration?

Meanwhile the Republicans, smug in the knowledge of the country’s yearlong progress, continue preaching to their choir on conservative media in the misplaced hope that such insular communications will sway the electorate.

    I had to laugh and laugh at the ‘protest’ when I ran into it in what’s left of the local newspaper.

    There’s nothing like horrid children with signs to get yer day goin’ right. Naturally, they’ve got a belief system based on nearly nothing but the Thing of the Day (currently immigration law and whether it should exist at all, formerly the primacy of men-in-dresses and their kinks) but of course the local educational establishment is partly at fault.

    To be fair, the internet provides opportunities for memes to spread quickly, and a sure way to social advancement for children is safe activism.

    Of course, you have to have two minds in the matter. One side observes it all as just the stupidity of youngsters combined with the ambitions of some adults, the other sees the danger in any child-driven social movement. The latter leads you to khat-chewing kids with AK47s, the 12th SS Panzer, and Pavlik Morozov.

    My working theory is that anyone who allows their offspring to go to public school is a fool.

    Uh oh….Looks like the good folx at Giffords stepped in it!

    “Here’s where it gets really good. Giffords’ own anti-gun organization has an entire section on their website explaining why guns at protests are dangerous and should be restricted.

    According to the Giffords Law Center, “Firearms in and around democratic environments threaten not only public safety but also the integrity and trust in our most fundamental political processes.” They argue that “the presence of guns at protests and demonstrations not only chills the exercise of our fundamental freedoms, such as freedom of speech and assembly, it also makes people more likely to be shot.”

    They really need a narrative liaison to coordinate with the other progressive screwballs! So much less embarrassing!

    re: Giffords Law Center.

    A quick look at their IRS filings shows one ‘Gabby Giffords’ as making $256,328 + $23,333 in other compensation.

    Knock me over with a feather why doncha.

    My natural assumption is that a sure sign of late-stage empire is that it’s all grift, and it’s grift all the way down.

    In other gunz news, check out the WA Democrats who want to make certain files illegal to own or place on 3d printers and any other sort of fab machinery. Naturally, once the mechanism is in place, next up will be either taxation and/or IP law making it’s way into the mix. No doubt the Disney lawyers are watching this closely.

    Back to the high school or to the old people yoga class at the library, making everyone else’s life a delight I would guess.

    I see that WA also now charges sales tax on bullion, so you can expect Oregon and Idaho to get that business too. It’s amazing how many good ideas a class made up of non-profit employees, teachers, HR Karens, and music promoters can come up with.

    The sheer mass of people who do nothing useful for living, and never did, shows how rich we are as a society. It can’t last.

    I love how the anti-ICE cretins claimed the owner “confirmed” they were ICE.

    “A witch – a witch, I tell ya! I seen her fly” Oh hell yes – arm all those morons and turn them loose in public. They’ll shoot each dead in no time.

    What an age we live in! Maybe we should not consider Mayes to be a real AG?

    Well, if you get to pick and choose your laws, maybe that makes sense. It’s kind of like being a Sovereign Citizen. My choice will be IRS, we’ll see how that goes.

    It’s absolutely hilarious how the ‘progressives’ finally revealed themselves in terms of immigration. Xenophilia is a crazy powerful force, something in the water?, and there never was any intention to enforce borders. In the meantime we’ll be treated to rare edge conditions, violent protestors who get shot, 5 year olds caught up in the net, to try to drive public policy. Motte and bailey is a powerful tool.

    The local protestors all look so similar, I seriously wonder sometimes if there isn’t either some genetic basis to their crazy or if it’s some condition brought on by environmental toxins or diet. These belief systems are largely new, so maybe that favors the latter.

    Father forgive them for they know not …

    If we live in the information age, how can so many people be so uninformed? I understand how some folks see money and the economy but is it really so hard to look below the surface to get how a civilization operates? How a functioning economy works? That fiat money has to represent actual value or it is worthless? Once again, an article on why we “need” to have a UBI. Sit on your butt and the state loads “money” into your bank account every month. Enough money to pay for rent and food and whatever. While someone else works their ass off to provide the stuff you buy. I realize our country is well into this situation as it is, but to codify it as the baseline for everyone? Here’s the latest:

    “Get £1600 a month to do ‘nothing’ – welcome to an AI future where nobody works”

    Sure – it goes right along with “you will own nothing and be happy”.

    “Every week, £282 appears in Elinor O’Donovan’s bank account. The 27-year-old is a multidisciplinary artist who sculpts and makes films and installations, “

    Thing is, if you went around and interviewed local people, scarcely anyone does anything a bit more useful than that…regardless if they are concert promoters, non-profit people, or county employees. I can’t say there’s a net loss from just paying them to do nothing.

    The next logical stage is to pay everyone in tree leaves and set aside a special spaceship for them to go to the Planet of Good Deeds.

    I suppose you can disconnect an economy from reality for some time, and then the fun begins. Add in deindustrialization and unlimited Third World immigration and you can build it back on stock trading, being an internet ‘influencer’, and growing weed. It’s like going bankrupt, it’s gradually and then suddenly before things get sporty.

    I’m reminded of the Firesign Theater with the adventures of Porgy and Mudhead just before graduating from Communist Martyrs High School – Porgy declared that after graduating he planned to cut the soles off his shoes, sit in a tree, and learn to play the flute.

    I think our economy has disconnected from reality a fair amount already. If you add up all the city, state, and fed debt combined with almost zero public awareness of the problem and add in politicians that only want to kick the can down the road far enough to see themselves out of office with their own pile of gelt – it aint good.

    Like all failed civilizations, it will end up with the strongest(most well armed) fighting over the scraps. Enjoy!
