Uncle Sam's Club: COLONIZERS |
The Counter-revolution of 1776, Professor Gerald Horn
The humanitarian crisis of the “unaccompanied minors” being collected in unprecedented numbers in US military bases and federal detention centers in Arizona and other southwestern states is in reality the crisis culminating 522 years of colonialism and genocide of the entire continent of Abya Yala. Flip the frame and imagine we were looking north from South Africa, and the Indigenous Africans were fleeing persecution due to brutal military regimes and criminal cartels, crossing into the Republic of South Africa which is also a residual settler state of the British Empire in Africa just like the USA is on this continent. What would be the appropriate humanitarian response? And can we even begin to conceptualize an authentic “humanitarian” response if we are not willing to address the underlying causes of the extreme poverty, violence and genocide that is the heritage of European colonization and dehumanization the Indigenous Peoples of Africa, of Abya Yala [aka the Americas], and the world?
The “shock and awe” of continental Regime Change that began here in Abya Yala on October 12, 1492 now imprints the frame of an “immigration crisis at the border”, a PsyOps play from the latest chapter of the shock doctrine narrative of the States of the Americas (not just the USA). This chapter is called “neoliberalism” and it ends abruptly when the “Patron” runs out of ink due to the global financial crash of 2008.
The Rancho Grande of Wall Street,
who in reality doesn’t
just own the entire rancho but has tentacles of empire across the
hemisphere and globe, is
now facing the double threat of competition in the global markets not
just from
the old world regimes of Europe and the Middle East, but the prime
challenger
who is now climbing into the ring that is coming from the west:
Ironically, because they
are known as the Far East - China and the emergent Asian economies.
China has
proposed moving the global economy away from and off of the US dollar as
the
standard of transactions in the global fiat currency systems. In the
clinch of competition, the Latin American and Anglo-American elites pull
out the tag team strategy and when one pushes the other pulls. It's
called the neoliberal "Free Trade" tactic of expropriation of natural
reosurces and LABOR that was catapulted forward in 1994 with the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). When the neoliberal economic hit men
are done with the deal and the national economies are laying like
scraps of dead meat from decaying corpses, the NARCO industry steps in
not to fill the void but to posess it, to profit off of it and like any
good capitalist - to expand the business.
La Niña, La Pinta, La Santa Maria, the Mayflower:
The NAFTA and the NARCO
Meanwhile, back at the ranch the boys in the bunkhouse of
the US Congress continue bungling along acting as if they were representatives of
the government of the people when in really they are just accomplices,
providing the necessary sideshow to divert attention from the real play.
Under the guise of “humanitarian aid” the use of US Army military bases as control centers for unwanted populations is being normalized in full public view, a la Shock Doctrine 2014. Not for the first time. All American Indian Reservations were constructed under this same ideology, and with the same goal: Extermination of the Nations of Indigenous Peoples by any means necessary. Except it plays better at election time if it is done as a “humanitarian” policy that will contextualize both the right and left versions of the Masters’ Narrative over the next election cycle to be called COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM.
GENOCIDE CANNOT BE REFORMED.

"Most children who are being held in detention by ICE say they are fleeing their homelands for fear of violence. This also is a product of the mass deportations of gang members who were purged from the US prisons and exported to unleash crime waves in the countries of origin of Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala. The blowback from these crime waves, exacerbated by the general economic and political collapse of the failed neoliberal regimes in Latin America, was what the masterminds of Operation End Game considered. The sending of busloads of ICE (Immigration Customs Enforcement) detainees to cities like Tucson and Phoenix in the middle of summer is a shock doctrine tactic designed to create the justification for the next step of the ENDGAME: normalizing the use of domestic military bases as centers of concentration for the management, control of detainees, in this case ICE. In your case, ............."

Las
denominaciones de "Latino", "Hispano", "Inmigrante" e "Ilegal"
son términos imprecisos e incorrectos
para nuestras familias que se
derivan de la colonización ilegal
de Abya Yala comenzado en 1492, y por
lo tanto serán rechazados y resistidos por las familias de los Comités de Defensa del Barrio en
el Espíritu de la Verdad de
nuestros pueblos ancestrales de Anáhuac y en la REGENERACION de nuestro DERECHO DE AUTO-DETERMINACIÓN como Nican Tlacah,
Pueblos Indígenas.
The
denominations of "Latino" "Hispanic"
"Immigrant" and "Illegal" are inaccurate and incorrect terms for our
families that derive from the illegal
COLONIZATION of Abya Yala beginning in 1492, and therefore will be
challenged and resisted by the families of the Comités de Defensa del
