Trump's base.

The people that are loyal followers of Donald Trump have a belief system mashed together out of violent extremism.

They definitely hate women. They won't see it that way, but, their motto is "Happy Wife, Happy Life." The idea is that women belong in the home with children and beholding to their husbands.

They are violent in their thoughts of others, full of hate and mistrust of the government and not because of corruption. The mistrust of government is based in the fact the USA military is powerful and more so than any number of it's citizens combined. Those loving guns wrap themselves in the flag and believe if there is enough of them they can win a war. Yes, a war against the USA military. I believe their ideology is more or less a precursor to violence against others. I  don't believe they actually think they can defeat the USA military.

Joe Schaeffer is at least as perverse as Steve Bannon when it comes to their values for society and government. This is a representative sample of their point of view and world vision:

National Correspondent (click here) at LibertyNation.com Joe Schaeffer is a veteran journalist with 20+ years' experience. He spent 15 years with The Washington Times, including 8+ years as Managing Editor of the newspaper's popular National Weekly Edition. Striving to be a natural health nut, he considers staring at the ocean for hours to be an act of political rebellion.

Joe Schaeffer and his followers are loyalty to a nameless ideology/theocracy and perverts the meaning of any value system that delays pregnancy through contraception. Pregnancy to Schaeffer is not considered a female condition, but, where "LIFE" begins and demands compliance with laws that seek to control and oppress women.

The ad below seeks to provide the understanding that a woman, when ready for pregnancy, provides a more safe and secure home.

In regards to teen pregnancy, the Pro-Life organizations don't care a child conceives and leaves school to become a mother; so long as the baby is born. Never does any Pro-Life organization value the mother over the pregnancy. Never does any Pro-Life organization seek to understand that MOST IF NOT ALL teenager pregnancies were a mistake or that the teen's life is in danger because she is still a child herself.

The violent theocracy blames weak morals as the reason for teen pregnancy rather than innocense and quite possibly parents that do not parent their children well. There is always a scapegoat and their default setting is to BLAME THE OTHER and SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES. Sound familiar in today's White House?

...The blunt message serves (click here) as a striking portrayal of how far removed the abortion cause has become from any sense of basic humanity. Focusing on a cuddly babe and then starkly defining her very existence as nothing more than a personal choice to be made by a stronger, fully grown human being is a new low for a movement that already has the blood of over 60 million on its hands since the infamous Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision 1973.

When the body count gets that high, of course, we’re beyond callousness. As Stalin is reported to have infamously said, “a single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic.” Abortion advocates in America have apparently reached the saturation level of a mass murderer like Stalin to such a degree that they can now look that single-death tragedy squarely in the eye without flinching.

The ad is spookily reminiscent of remarks made by a dishearteningly honest abortionist at a National Abortion Federation annual conference in 2015. Dr. Lisa Harris of the University of Michigan expressed pride in her active role in killing the unborn:...

The right wing extremists that are Trump's base refuse to recognize freedom when it carries different dialogues within a legitimate American culture. They are not interested in the USA's freedom, but, only it's power to oppress free will.

The producers of this video are not affiliated with Planned Parenthood. This is an independent group that believes women are capable of RESPONSIBLE DECISIONS rather than victimization of women. The baby is supposed to be viewed as happy and well cared for. Are those alien values to the USA? I thought that was called being responsible. Delaying pregnancy to provide a better and secure home. Those are BAD VALUES?  

Isolated Tribe Kills U.S. Missionary John Chau Killed With Bow And Arrow... (click here for article the islands' tribes - thank you)

This is the most foolish and unnecessary death that has taken place in human history. He broke the law. There is a reason for the law and when Christians believe they are empowered beyond the law to rescue aboriginal tribes, they need to stop in their tracks and get rid of all that hideous belief.

His parents state they forgive the tribe. Believe me, they don't care. Don't go there. Do not go there. The tribe was acting in their own defense. They have genetics with dates back millennia. There is no reason to disturb them or call them killers. They were acting in their own defense. Just that simple.

I sincerely doubt there is a body to bring back for burial. There isn't much known about these tribes, but, I sincerely doubt they leave a rotting corpse around to cause disease. The risk in embarking on a mission to bring the man's body back is too high.

The Sentinelese people are said to be so hostile that their home has been named the ‘hardest place to visit’ in the world. They inhabit the North Sentinel island, and are the only remaining tribe in the Andamans to still maintain their isolation from the rest of the world. Nobody knows exactly how they look, the population or how they live. Since 1967, the indian governments with the help of anthropologists have tried to make contact with the tribe. They tried giving gifts of food, coconuts, etc but they were always met with hostility. The tribe showers arrows and stones at whoever comes near the island.

In 2006, 2 fishermen who were fishing illegally near the island were shot by sentinilese archers. The helicopters which was sent to retrieve the bodies was also greeted by arrows. After the tsunami the government again tried to help them by sending a few employees to the island with gifts but again, the same response followed. Presently the policy of the indian government is to leave the Sentinilese alone. Any access to North Sentinel island is strictly forbidden....

 

The so called help these militias offer is not wanted or requested.

When a border patrol helicopter flies over the heads of these militias, it isn't a salute they want, the Border Patrol is monitoring the movement of these people to estimate the danger of "the field/theater." Militias are an added burden to the Border Patrol.

Militia groups and far-right activists (click here) are raising money and announcing plans to head to the Mexican border to help stop the caravan of Central Americans, echoing President Donald Trump's attacks on the migrants making their way toward the U.S.

Exactly how many militia members will turn out is unclear, and as of Friday, the caravan of about 4,000 people was still some 1,000 miles and weeks away from reaching this country....

...The U.S. Border Patrol this week warned local landowners in Texas that it expects "possible armed civilians" to come onto their property because of the caravan....

Trump's test case of his underground militias.

 Gun-carrying civilian groups and border vigilantes (click here) have heard a call to arms in President Trump’s warnings about threats to American security posed by caravans of Central American migrants moving through Mexico. They’re packing coolers and tents, oiling rifles and tuning up aerial drones, with plans to form caravans of their own and trail American troops to the border.
“We’ll observe and report, and offer aid in any way we can,” said Shannon McGauley, a bail bondsman in the Dallas suburbs who is president of the Texas Minutemen. McGauley said he was preparing to head for the Rio Grande in coming days.
“We’ve proved ourselves before, and we’ll prove ourselves again,” he said.
McGauley and others have been roused by the president’s call to restore order and defend the country against what Trump has called “an invasion,” as thousands of Central American migrants advance slowly through southern Mexico toward the U.S. border. Trump has insisted that “unknown Middle Easterners,” “very tough fighters,” and large numbers of violent criminals are traveling among the women, children and families heading north on foot....

This level of vigilantism has never been witnessed before. Two of the gun-toting enthusiasts willing to kill come from Texas, "The Minuteman Project." and "Texas Minutemen." They are organized under the guise of re-establishing the past when the USA's military was created under the 2nd Amendment by armed citizens. No such homegrown militia is sanctioned under USA law. The USA military has replaced such militias a long time ago.


I fully expect Governors to live up to their responsibility and disband these groups.

After President Trump's pledge (click here) to send up to 15,000 US troops to the border to help deal with the approaching caravan of Central American migrants, private militias have called for their members to travel to the border to support the troops and US Customs and Border Patrol agents....


...The governors of the border states do not have to sit idly by while groups like the Minutemen deploy to the border with high-powered assault rifles, aerial drones, and night-vision goggles. These governors have legal tools in their arsenal to prevent this. Every state that borders Mexico, including Texas (and 48 of all 50 states), has a provision in its state constitution that requires the military to be at all times subordinate to the civil authority. That means private, unregulated and unauthorized militias -- operating wholly outside public accountability -- are prohibited by state law. In addition, both Texas and Arizona have criminal statutes barring private armed militias, while California and New Mexico ban private paramilitary activity....


And besides the danger these militias pose to citizens and USA military personnel, it would seem as though they are suspected to be potential thieves.

The 5,200 troops mobilizing (click here) to the U.S. southern border are headed there to deter a caravan of migrants, but some of the direct threats they are preparing for are homegrown, according to documents obtained by Military Times.

In those documents, the military is concerned about the already dangerous drug cartels that operate with impunity on both sides of the border, armed U.S. citizens taking the law into their own hands — or pilfering their gear — and far-right or far-left protesters inciting violence.


The deployment was ordered by President Donald Trump to counter a caravan of thousands of migrants who are traveling primarily by foot and aren’t expected to reach the U.S. border for weeks. The president has ratcheted up the potential threat posed by the caravan, tweeting that the caravan potentially contains terrorists, gang members and other threats....

...Johnny Horton Jr. (click here) is a self-proclaimed border militia leader who believes the rumors are true. Except he doesn’t call them rumors. He calls them facts. And like several other militia leaders, he says he has fielded a team of “patriots” to travel to the southern border to stop the caravan from coming into the U.S.


“Our information comes from the very top,” Horton said in a recent interview with the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). “I’m not telling you where, but it comes out of very high agencies.”


Militia leaders like Horton have been hyping up the threat of the caravan in recent weeks and vowing online to take action. They say they’re putting “boots on the ground” from Texas to California to support the active-duty troops that have been ordered to the border in response to the caravan....

As President Donald Trump (click here) stokes fears about a migrant caravan heading to the  United States, right-wing militia groups claim they are traveling south to defend the border.


Washington Post report today says the militia members include Oregonians.


Shannon McGauley, a bail bondsman from outside Dallas, Tex., told the Post that he is organizing an armed militia group of at least 100 people to guard the border from the caravan.


"I can't put a number on it," McGauley he told the Post. "My phone's been ringing nonstop for the last seven days. You got other militias, and husbands and wives, people coming from Oregon, Indiana. We've even got two from Canada."


The caravan, made up of Central American migrants fleeing political persecution or poverty, is currently traveling through Mexico. The president, who regularly traffics in anti-immigrant paranoia, has painted this group as a threat to national security in advance of Tuesday's election.


It's not clear how many Oregonians, if any, are in fact joining McGauly's group. But on Oct. 26, an Oregon woman named Monica Marin told the Associated Press she had raised $4,000 to help militias buy supplies....

It’s probably a pretty bad sign (click here) when a government warning about armed militias rolling out to the U.S.-Mexico border manages to fly largely under the radar for days, due to the sheer volume of other incredibly bad shit going on elsewhere in the country.


That, however, seems to be exactly what’s happened, with a Customs and Border Patrol warning issued last week reportedly telling Texas landowners to expect “possible armed civilians” on their property in response to a Central American caravan of asylum seekers—many of them women and children—currently working its way through southern Mexico en route to the United States.


According to the AP, multiple militia members plan to bring guns and other tactical equipment in an effort to to augment the actual border patrol agents already stationed along the border. “They’re just laughing in our face,” Texas Minutemen president Shannon McGauley told the AP. “It’s a free-for-all in America.”


McGauley estimated to the AP that, beyond an unspecified number of militia members already patrolling portions of the border, he expects to add “25 to 100 more” in the coming days....


These gun toting idiots have nothing more to do with their time then harass migrants seeking asylum. They call the migrants, "migs."

Robert Crooks (click here) is up before sunrise on a hill he calls “Patriot Point,” walkie-talkie in hand and loaded semiautomatic handgun holstered on his right hip.

To protect himself, he wears a vest padded with National Geographic magazines — including one celebrating great white sharks.

Directly in front of him is a border wall made of steel landing mats left over from the Vietnam War. Just a few hundred feet from the Mexican border, Crooks scans the landscape for any sign of an immigrant trying to cross into the United States.

A Las Vegas resident, Crooks heads the Mountain Minutemen. Along with other militia members in Texas, his group has been gearing up as thousands of migrants from Central America steadily make their way to the U.S. border to ask for asylum....

...Crooks, a 68-year-old retired commercial fisherman wearing a camouflage Trump hat, said the military presence was not enough and that the entire border should be shut down.

“This is a national emergency,” he said....

...Farther east, Harry Hughes, 55, of the U.S. Border Guard militia in Arizona said he’s not anticipating caravan migrants will attempt crossing the border 65 miles south of his home. Terrain in that rural stretch of the desert is particularly rough, said Hughes, who is also a leader of the neo-Nazi National Socialist Movement.

Shannon McGauley, 54, leads the Texas Minutemen. The bail bond agent from the Dallas suburbs left the border on Monday after three weeks.

He said a dozen members of his group have been patrolling an area just east of McAllen, Texas, and claimed to have 100 volunteers on standby. He plans to be back next week.

McGauley believes the attention in Tijuana is just a diversion and that migrants will soon begin attempting to cross the border in Texas.

“We don’t really want the full force until we’re sure when the caravan is going to arrive,” he said....

...The Minutemen have nicknames for each other and speak in code. Crooks is known as “Little Dog” for the way he keeps on the trail of migrants until border agents arrive to detain them. His associates didn’t want to be interviewed, saying they were afraid they could lose their regular jobs.

Several men were positioned atop other hills along the one-mile radius they patrol. They have dubbed the hills Donut Hole, Zoners and Couch Trail.

A call came in on Crooks’ walkie-talkie.

“Little Dog, this is Weasel, do you copy?”

“Yo, Weasel, what’s happening?”

“You’ve got an Omaha coming your way. I can see him.”

A black Border Patrol helicopter flew overhead. Crooks raised his hand to his temple in a salute.

“The Border Patrol does fantastic work,” he said. “There’s just not enough of them. We’re getting hammered.”

Crooks said he thinks the migrants shouldn’t turn down the Mexican government’s offer for refuge.

A member of the Minutemen since 2005, Crooks insists he has been shot at, attacked and even poisoned while guarding his country from people he calls “cockroaches.”

“That’s the pit of evil,” he said, looking just across the border. “I’ve heard blood-curdling screams from over there. Heroin, cocaine, bodies, child slavery, human trafficking. And it’s been like this for a long time.”

Crooks said his wife wants him home for Thanksgiving but that if activity starts to pick up, he’s not leaving. And if he does, he’ll be right back in no time.

That is just about as sad as it gets. They have no trust in the Border Patrol or the USA mlitary when backing up the Border Patrol. They have no purpose in their lives, except, to fear for the sake of fear. They need to put their guns away forever and go home to be good husbands and fathers, neighbors and citizens.

These militias need to take a trip across the USA - Mexican border to offer to help those migrants in Tijuana with obtaining food, water, sanitation and shelter.

I would suggest they go to the Northern Triad to realize why there are migrants to the USA border, but, the militias would not survive the violence the migrants left behind and hope to leave behind forever.

It seems as though all those violent migrants Trump moved against with the USA military is far more fragile.

The number of problems facing the Democratic House is staggering. The Mexico - USA southern border is experiencing a humanitarian crisis caused by President Trump's wrongful assessment of the migrants from the Northern Triad. The US House will have to investigate how this crisis manifested, including the funding of humanitarian aid to the three countries of the Triad.

The humanitarian issues that have manifested due to the Trump administration include the death of an American journalist and the complete denial of the climate crisis that has caused deaths and devastating damage in California. Those are only two humanitarian issues. All three issues are primarily domestic in their origins and directly related to the policies of the Trump White House.

Climate needs to be addressed by the USA, otherwise, the best forest management can be compromised.

Tijuana — The mayor of Tijuana (click here) has declared a humanitarian crisis in his border city and said Friday he was asking the United Nations for aid to deal with the approximately 5,000 Central American migrants who have arrived.

The comments by Mayor Juan Manuel Gastelum came as city officials and volunteers worked to assist the 4,976 men, women and children, most of whom were camped out at a makeshift shelter at a sports complex after spending more than a month on the road. The Trump administration has spent weeks lambasting the caravan, which it said was filled with criminals, gang members and even — it insinuated at one point without any proof — terrorists.

Manuel Figueroa, who leads the city's social services department, said Tijuana was bringing in portable toilets and showers, as well as shampoo and soap.

It wasn't enough.

"Because of the absence, the apathy and the abandonment of the federal government, we are having to turn to international institutions like the U.N.," Figueroa said....
