Barbarians Through the Gate
What happens if the Hamas crowd and disillusioned illegal "newcomers" decide to combine forces?
In 410 A.D., Alaric the Goth, a once favored protégée of the Roman emperor Theodosius, sacked Rome. Rome failed not by being overpowered by an external force but from within their own walls. Rome had become an economic powerhouse and Romans became enamored with the good life. Their government became bloated and corrupt. Their citizens became decadent and were easily placated into oblivion with Bread and Circuses.
Their highlife caused a low birth rate and in order to increase a population willing to work and fight, they began opening their borders to immigration. In fact, in a moment of absolute insanity, they ferried a hundred thousand Goth refugees across the Danube in order to increase enlistment in their storied Legion.
A trend on TikTok is for men to be asked how often they think about Rome. Apparently, it’s a lot, some as many as several times a day. Whether it’s a put up or true, the leftwing media has gone nuts letting people know that toxic masculinity is alive and well.
In some ways, ancient Rome is a kind of safe place for macho fantasies. It's where men can pretend to be macho men. That must be part of the appeal, I suppose, related author and classicist Mary Beard.
But maybe American men are thinking about Rome because they see the similarities between 410 A.D. and 2024 A.D.
America has become an economic powerhouse and Americans are enamored with the good life
American governments are bloated and corrupt
Americans have become more decadent and are easily placated by the Trans movement and Taylor Swift
Americans are not having enough children willing to work and fight
Americans are opening their borders to immigration to fill in the gap
In a moment of absolute insanity, Americans flew hundred(s) [of] thousand(s) [of] illegal immigrants directly into their airports
America’s history may reflect that it failed not by being overpowered by an external force but from within their own walls
It’s the part about Rome, ah, I mean America, becoming overrun from within that has me concerned.
The Mexican drug cartels control the border and thus, control who is entering. They extort people wanting to cross—and surrender to the border patrol—but the profits must truly be astronomical for trafficking those who would prefer to remain in the shadows. The Department of Homeland Security estimates that nearly 1.4 million “gotaways” have entered the nation since this current self-inflicted crisis has begun.
There is also the realization settling in that it is China who may, in fact, control both our northern and southern borders. It has been the shady underworld of China that has been exporting the precursor chemicals for fentanyl to Mexican gangs. It has been China that has supplied the pill presses that mold the synthetic opioid for export to the United States. It is China that assists in the distribution of the deadly drugs and it is China that uses Chinese students on student visas to distribute the money earned from the operations.
It took China two years to realize what was happening on our border but they jumped in with both feet last year by sending 25,000 military-age men to cross over. In fact, investigations have revealed that hordes of Chinese men who have Chinese military equipment and even regimental tattoos are heavily reflected in this number. So far in 2024, the trend shows that by year’s end, the number of Chinese military-age men sent across the border will have quadrupled.
Other large chunks of “newcomers” are coming from chaotic places in the world such as the Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa. Surprisingly, most of those who are on our nation’s database of known or suspected terrorists (KSTs), have come across the northern border.
Putting aside the obvious alarm bells of having our known enemies streaming across our borders, what about the rest of the “harmless, mostly peaceful” newcomers?
As our economy further tanks, these millions of male illegal aliens won’t find work and if they don’t find a source of income (including participating in the illicit drug trade and excluding the freebees that sanctuary cities are showering on these intruders), then they will undoubtedly become disillusioned. Becoming disillusioned becomes a danger to the natives. Crime will skyrocket beyond the already growing trend. Taxes will increase (or more money printed) to cover the social welfare costs of these men. Whole areas of cities will become no-go zones. This has already happened in most of the major European cities and we’re not too far behind.
For what purpose?
Enter Hamas
In the time of Covid, it was racist to require rioters to wear face masks to “protect” themselves and the community writ large. We needed to see their rage!
Now, in an ultimate stroke of irony, these socially responsible protesters have decided that wearing surgical masks for protection saves those around them from the dreaded black plague—or is it to keep their anonymity in tact?
The current “mostly peaceful” protests on university campuses have been, for the most part disturbing and comical; disturbing in the voracity of the protests, comical in how these little vegan brats demand things such as gluten-free meals, mineral water, helmets, knee-pads, duct tape and other assorted items from the basic terrorist tool kit. Adolf Hitler was a vegan. Just so we’re all on the same page.
In 2020, the Democrats celebrated the “Summer of Love”. In 2024, the landscape is different. The Democrats are in power and while the first of the protests/riots helped them with their identity politics and gave them a cause célèbre, now these outbursts are serving as a driving force in foreign policy, of which most Democrats are fearful.
The call for the total destruction of Israel and Death to America chants are an embarrassment. It is causing great consternation among party officials as they ready for their August convention in Chicago. They mostly fear the comparisons to their 1968 convention in Chicago in which anti-war protestors destroyed any chance they had of winning the presidency that year. So now they are trying to organize a “Zoom” convention. How effing ignorant are these people? Of course, masters of strategy as they are, why are they struggling to put Biden on the Ohio ballot for November?
Despite the comical fails by the Democrat National Committee and antics by their sponsors of terror, the matter is really quite serious.
What happens if the Hamas crowd and the disillusioned illegals decide to combine forces?
What happens if 100,000 Chinese military agents assist them?
School is out for the summer. The kids have gone home to Mom and Dad or their lavish condos in the city afforded by trust funds. Soy milk lattes and gluten-free pizzas are on the menu as they grapple with such taxing subjects as desired pronouns and Climate Change! Some will decide to do summer camp with their new Hamas friends but most of them—who loved the camaraderie, lack of basic hygiene, and such a diverse set of friends—couldn’t truly grasp what they were all worked up over in the first place; unless convenient to them, they won’t be marching this summer.
Hamas needs people in reserve. If you’ve paid attention, the people up front are from the Middle East, or at least that is the appearance. They need back fill; they need to have clueless little boys and girls put on the surgical masks and look like they’re pissed off Palestinians. They’ll get their Antifa friends to join in but only lukewarm support from their BLM comrades, despite their mutual admiration for chaos. Butt-hurt over basic theft of their funds, BLM sued the George Soros-backed Tides Foundation for fraud. The Tides Foundation—who collected the massive donations going to BLM—is the primary funding arm for the current Hamas temper tantrum and they are using those BLM funds; there is no honor among thieves.
Illegals have worn out their welcome in their sanctuary city homes. They are committing crimes at alarming rates and have taken social service funding away from locals. They are fighting amongst themselves, with police, and with citizens. Violence, for a great many of them, is all they know.
It doesn’t take too much of a leap in imagination to see violent marches of pro-Hamas thugs snaking through the streets of Manhattan as thousands of illegals follow in their wake, destroying and looting businesses and residential homes along the way (just like in 2020). This would happen in every densely populated city along the East Coast, the Upper Midwest, and Pacific Northwest.
This would be the insurrection.
Again. Why exactly is China pushing tens of thousands of potential military operatives into the interior of the United States? Is there something we don’t know?
