  "From these insights, [Robert Jay Lifton] went on to distill 8 distinguishing features of the totalist [totalitarian] thought-reform process:   'milieu control',   'loading the language',   'demand for purity',   'confession',   'mystical manipulation',   'doctrine over person',   'sacred science'   & 'dispensing of existence'...   His phrase 'ego-destruction' accurately described the sweeping effects of brain-washing on personality, & his alternative approach staked out the symbolic component of the process." --- Flo Conway & Jim Siegelman 1995 _Snapping_ pp 87-88

"...The report, authored by CIS' director of research Steven Camarota, reveals that during the first quarter of 2016, nearly 48.5M working-age, native-born Americans were not in the labor force. IOW, 28% of American-born citizens ages 16 to 65 years old were neither employed nor looking for work... 'Moreover, the number of working-age (16 to 65) natives holding a job in the first quarter of 2016 was about the same as it was in the first quarter of 2007.', Camarota wrote, pointing out that there were 2.5M more immigrants holding jobs in the USA during the first quarter of 2016 than the the first quarter of 2007..."

The Massachusetts Department of Public Health provided no information on how many of the seven cases of MDR TB in 2015 and 4 cases in 2014 were foreign-born. However, of the 9,421 cases of active diagnosed in the USA in 2014, 91 were classified as MDR. 88% of those cases (80 out of 91) were foreign-born.

putting USA first: what it means to become a USA American
"At a recent naturalization ceremony in the Washington area, 73 immigrants from different nationalities (Indian, South Korean, Vietnamese, Guatemalan, Chinese, Iranian, Salvadoran, etc.) became [USA] citizens.   They all had to take the Oath of Allegiance during an official ceremony.   Here are the words of the oath:   'I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform non-combatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God.'   The judge presiding stressed the importance of this oath, comparing it to marriage vows.   He explained how important it was for naturalized citizens to give up their loyalty to their previous country.   'Keep your affection, preserve your native culture', he said, 'but your allegiance should now go to the [United States of America].'   The message could simply be: 'Put America first [among nations/polities].'   It is about putting the love of America, its values, its people, and its laws above previous loyalties, or 'marriages', to use the judge's metaphor.   That is what a number of politicians, activists, and concerned Americans are trying to put forward today.   Becoming an American citizen is not to be reduced to mere opportunity.   It should remain an honor."

Obummer's awkward moment in Turkey
"If you only knew about the recent attempted coup in Turkey from the reports of the establishment media you might not understand that the coup was intended to overthrow president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan whose dictatorial regime is sympathetic to, if not yet completely controlled by, Muslim Brotherhood Islamists.   This would put the coup plotters in the same 'good guy' category as general, now president, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi of Egypt, who led a coup to overthrow his Muslim Brotherhood predecessor Mohamed Morsi.   No one who is a regular CHQ reader will need to be reminded that [Obummer] and various establishment Republicans, such as senators John McCain and [Lindsey Grahamnesty], supported the Muslim Brotherhood regime against the secular coup in Egypt.   So it will surprise no one who is a regular CHQ reader to learn that [Obummer] supported the Islamist incumbent regime against the anti-Islamist or secular coup plotters in Turkey -- and that in Turkey the coup quickly collapsed...   As a member of NATO Turkey is under the USA nuclear umbrella, but those old Cold War motivations and calculations are now obsolete.   With Iran well on the way to a nuclear weapon and regional hegemony, to say nothing of its claim to leadership of the Islamic world, taking the role of regional and Muslim counterweight to Iran may be Erdoğan's goal, and what better way to confirm that claim than securing 50 to 90 nuclear weapons?**   President [Obummer] is closing in on a Jimmy Carter moment when Erdoğan will demand Guelen's extradition and the price of refusal may very well be the security of Incirlik Air Force Base and its nuclear arsenal.   If Gulen's extradition is the end game of the protests at Incirlik does anyone think [Obummer] is up to the job?   * Fethullah Guelen is by no means a 'good guy' by our definition.   But some elements within the [Obummer] national security apparatus seem to think Gulen is a 'moderate Islamist' who furthers their agenda, despite his incendiary preaching against Jews, Christians, the USA, and Western Europe.   **The nuclear weapons at Incirlik are, according to open sources, B-61 'dumb bombs' but still fairly sophisticated and of course from the standpoint of countering Iran better than no nuclear weapons at all."

Victor Davis Hanson _Jewish World Review_
*** why borders matter... and a borderless world is a fantasy (or nightmare) ***
"...Europeans are relearning that the continent's external borders mark off very different approaches to culture and society from what prevails in North Africa or the Middle East.   A similar crisis plays out in the [United States of America]...The populist push-back against un-checked immigration from Mexico, Central and South America gave rise to the presidential candidacy of Donald Trump -- predicated on the candidate's promise to build an impenetrable [or at least much less porous] border wall -- much as the cascade of 'asylum-seekers' into Germany has fueled opposition to chancellor Angela Merkel...   Driving the growing outrage in Europe and North America is the ongoing elite push for a borderless world.   Among elites, borderlessness has taken its place among the politically correct positions of our age -- and, as with other such ideas, it has shaped the language we use.   The descriptive term 'illegal alien' [was replaced by the leftist medua by] the nebulous 'unlawful immigrant', then 'undocumented immigrant', 'immigrant', or the entirely neutral 'migrant' -- a noun that obscures whether the individual in question is entering or leaving [or just traveling about within national borders]...   the truth is that formal borders do not create difference -- they reflect it.   Elites' continued attempts to erase borders are both futile and destructive..."

interesting international flows of people: from what used to be British India
"Stimulated by the remarkable level of ethnic discrimination in the hiring practices of the big Indian out-sourcing firms [cross-border bodyshopping and off-shoring firms] -- they hire up to 99% of their H-1Bs workers from the Republic of India -- I decided to take a look at other streams of migration from what the Brits call the sub-continent.   The major out-sourcing companies [cross-border bodyshopping and off-shoring firms], such as Infosys and Tata, which rarely employ Americans, hire about 99% of their H-1B workers from India; if they pick up any from the other parts of Colonial India, it must be in minuscule numbers.   Their decision that the best and the brightest in the world are virtually all young male college graduates between the ages of 22 and 30, and all from a single nation, should secure more negative press attention than it gets.   Back to the sub-continent: it covers all the nations that used to be part of the Raj, of British India; this includes India per se as well as five nations that have, over the years, spun off from Colonial India.   In the order of size of population they are: Pakistan, Bangladesh, Burma (also known as Myanmar), Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon), and the Maldive Islands in the Indian Ocean.   What does migration to the USA -- other than that of the H-1Bs -- look like from what used to be British India?   The first comparison made was to the distribution of foreign students in the USA from that part of the world (as seen in Table One).   New India, with a shade more than 75% of the population of old British India, sends 90% of the foreign students from the sub-continent to USA colleges and universities.   This suggests two things to me: India is wealthier than its immediate neighbors, and there may be a stronger attraction to the USA among students there than in the five other nations..."

Obummer regime reaching out...to help the 1%...of "Syrians"
"The USA government, which portrays itself as the defender of the little guy, has just reached out to another elite group (within an admittedly severely disadvantaged population).   This time it is to give Temporary Protected Status to a very lucky bunch of Syrians -- people who had arrived in the USA on Monday, or earlier, either legally or illegally.   The Department of Homeland Security announced in the Federal Register that anyone from Syria who was already present in the USA on Monday, or who could scramble in from Canada or Mexico before midnight that night, would be eligible for its new (and third) round of TPS for one-time residents of Syria.   It simultaneously announced that the earlier period of TPS for Syrians was renewed -- surprise! -- for another 18 months for the earlier beneficiaries.   TPS grants 'temporary' legal status for this time period, which is rolled over again and again, during which time an otherwise illegal alien from the nation in question will not be deported, and will be allowed to work legally, provided they register and pay the fees.   It should be pretty clear to observers that it is only the luckiest, best-connected, and wealthiest of the Syrian refugees who can manage to get all the way from that benighted country to this one...."

another crack in the veneer of the GHWBush, Clinton, Shrub, Obummer regimes' half-hearted, token gestures toward investigating backgrounds of visa applicants & illegal aliens
"In 2014 January, nearly 2 years before I wrote my blog post, Fatahi (whose identity and nationality are known based solely on what he says—and clearly his word isn't worth much) used just such a blank Syrian passport, stolen when Islamic State jihadists over-ran passport production facilities, to enter the United States.   How it came into his hands isn't known.   He's given several equally implausible stories.   Worse, this man entered on a K-1 fiance visa..."

"On the Media" shredding what passes for ethics hand-book at National Socialist Radio
"In 2004, Daniel Okrent, the public editor of The New York Times, flatly acknowledged that The Times is a [leftist] paper.   'If you think The Times plays it down the middle' on its coverage of social issues, 'you've been reading the paper with your eyes close.', he wrote.   Well, if you listen to your NPR station's broadcast of the 'On the Media' program and you think its work on immigration reporting lives up to standards for fairness, accuracy, and impartiality that are spelled out in the NPR Ethics Handbook, then you've been listening with your ears closed.   Consider last week's interview that On the Media co-host Brooke Gladstone conducted with Princeton sociologist Douglas Massey.   By NPR's standards it was a miserable failure. (See also my earlier blog post on the interview.)   As a former immigration reporter and someone who has long identified as a [moderate leftist], I was embarrassed both for the profession and for the political orientation..."

what to do before and when they H-1Boot you
"You notice that people from India are poking around your work place -- and their numbers are growing.   It is time to smell the coffee and realize that you are your coworkers are about to be replaced by foreign workers on H1B visas.   You're going to get the 'H-1Boot'.   What should you do now?   Get 'Organized'.   Exchange contact information with your co-workers.   Exchanges names, home phone numbers, home [e-mail addresses, URLs], and addresses of everyone likely to be affected.   Do this while you are all together.   Once you get fired, this information is hard to gather.   Get a Lawyer [or Become a Lawyer].   The better organized you are, the better the case you can build.   The better the case, the easier it is to find a lawyer.   If there are 200 of you potentially willing to be plaintiffs, the potential legal fees are 100 times greater than if there are just two of you for essentially the same amount of work.   Do not sign anything without having a lawyer review it. [Do NOT trust union bosses. They are in it for their own advantage. And the vast majority of the union bosses are leftists who have signed on to the push for lower standards or no standards and far higher numbers of visas of every kind. You will get no honest effort and little sympathy from union bosses.]   Gather Intelligence.   Create [or obtain] an organization chart for the company.   You don't need to cover the entire company but be sure it includes the managers of affected groups and everyone up to the CEO and any HR people involved.   Try to find out where they live (nothing will make your CIO the hit of his neighborhood like having 300 people protesting on his street).   For each foreign worker that shows up, document the date of arrival and try to identify the worker's name, employer, nationality, and visa type (e.g., B, L, H-1B).   Save all memos related to the foreign workers.   Look for any Labor Condition Applications for H-1B workers and make copies.   These should be displayed in a public place in the office.   When managers make verbal statements, write down what you heard, what you were supposed to do, and what your reaction to the statements was.   Include the date.   You want to have as much information as possible about context to help make the statements admissible as evidence.   If it is legal in your state, record the conversations.   Recording the reaction to what your employer said is just as important is recording what was said..."
