CENTRAL AMERICA COMES TO NEW HAMPSHIRE

Guest Post by Hardscrabble Farmer

Texas governor sends buses of undocumented migrants to D.C.

In completely unrelated news I stopped in to the WalMart in Claremont, New Hampshire this afternoon to stock up on toothbrushes and reading glasses, the three to a pack kind. I’m not going to run down a town that is already hanging on by a thread, economically speaking, but it hasn’t exactly been seeing any resurgence of industry and commerce lo these past few years. And as I exit my farm truck, what do my eyes catch near the entrance?

A large, shiny, brand new silver and black bus with the word CHARTER on the front. And who might this bus be for? Inside the store, apart from the regular contingent of heavy set white American bitter clingers in their power scooters, were multitudes of what appeared to be Central Americans, all of whom were sporting brand new clothes and footwear, wandering around in knots of four to six, looking on in amazement at what Uncle Sam had to offer. There were also more Africans in that store than I have seen in the entire state in the last 13 years.

Perhaps they were all here on tour as a part of some kind of Cirque du Soliel outfit. Perhaps.

Then I suppressed my apophenic tendencies and paid for my purchases (the glasses were twice the cost of the last three pack I bought this past Spring, perfectly understandable in the booming economy) and got back in my truck. While listening to the radio I heard an interesting report about airlines cancelling flights. No airline in particular, just the entire industry and no reason was given, oddly enough. It sounded less like a news report and more like a veiled threat, but I’m sure I read that into the lispy fry of the reporter whoever he/she/it was, it being NPR after all.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/travelers-endure-1300-domestic-flights-cancelations-weekend-rcna41910

Huh. They were right, or at least their story checked out elsewhere. Then I thought, were they really? Cancelled I mean? Maybe they were just used for other reasons, like flying other passengers to other locations instead of the regular paying customers, if you catch my drift.

And then this story pops up.

And we’re what? 90 days out from the election. If someone were to put two and two together they might think hey, what better way to insure an acceptable outcome than to make sure there are plenty of motivated voters in all the right places ready to get out the vote. A blue wave would have looked improbable considering the events of the past two years, but not when the red team is headed up by the target of an FBI raid.

Pareidolia runs in the family.

I find it interesting how decked out these “migrants” are. I was looking at pictures of the busses coming into NYC with Mexicans and the people were wearing new clothes and using smart phones. No one seems to question that.

Mr Peter: After a month, Kabota returned my tractor and they rebuilt the steering system with parts from a bigger newer model of Kabota tractor; much stronger now. Charged me for bigger parts but lubed my whole tractor and fixed a fuel leak, and charged min labor and transport charges; total $560. That’s how to run a great business! PS: Vote the Commies out 8Nov2022 and turn the tables on them!!!

Kubota is friggin outstanding. Excellent product and excellent customer service. They go out of their way to take care of the people who buy from them and do things the old fashioned way.

They have earned my loyalty.

I looked at a Kubota tractor, but my local dealer is a bunch of ass hats. Ended up going with Mahindra and haven’t had an issue yet. Plus my dealer is top notch. I did get a Kubota generator from a different dealer since they are technically separate from the tractor division. Not many in the non-commercial sector even know Kubota makes a generator and they have a small slice compared to say generac, but they are of superior quality. I want to upgrade to a bigger tractor someday (if we don’t end up in a depression) and would try Kubota again, although I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another Mahindra.

My daughter was just in NY city, and she said no one was masking or even cared though masking is required on all public transportation. Very few also mask here in Alaska. Very nice to see some people are actually getting over their zombification.

I didn’t post a picture and I am not sure where that came from. The scroll on the front of the bus simply said CHARTER. I didn’t think to check the plates so I don’t know where it was coming from.

They were all wearing brand new clothes and shoes, clearly they were not migrant workers. There were more men than women/children. Everyone had a cart and they were shopping for personal items, not household goods. I didn’t hang around long enough to notice much more than that, but it was extremely unusual for this region. The 2020 census says there are approximately 12.3K resident and just over 200 Hispanic. Clearly they weren’t locals and they certainly weren’t tourists, so whoever they were and wherever they were going, it wasn’t a normal NH event. Concord and Manchester have fairly substantial numbers of African and Asian refugees, but in the poorer small cities- like Claremont- they have been near invisible until recently. Clearly there is an intentional migratory pattern that is being driven by something other than self-determination, but then we all know that.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/27/us/new-hampshire-white-diversify.html

I have tried three different links to post a 2018 NYT article called “How to diversify NH” but clearly they’ve figured out how to keep it from showing up in hyperlinks. All you get is the photo above, but anyone interested in it can easily find it.

This program began long ago and started becoming obvious with the deliberate Browning of Upstate NY.
It was announced in the papers that NY would begin transferring welfare recipient families from NYC to small cities and towns Upstate. I am related to half the people in the Corning area and was living in Binghamton on and off when I wasn’t in MT. By 1990 there was a large minority of blacks and latinos. By 95 the downtown was boarded up and the whole area was dark and dreary. Haven’t been back since so I can’t tell you what it’s like now.

The sidewalks in Mexican, Central American, Caribbean and African towns (without street lights) are far from perfect – they’re riddled with toe-breakers. The streets not so much. In smaller towns, everybody walks in the street.

I put this in the Trump FBI Raided comments but I’ll copy it here.

The airlines are cancelling flights because they are understaffed and each pilot is limited to a certain amount of flight hours. The FAA is supposedly also understaffed. Lot’s of staff calling in sick. Many who were close to retirement in 2020 went ahead and retired. Some were fired who would not take the clot shot.

That bus you talked about is happening all over the country. I know someone who works for DHS. She goes to my church. She got temporarily assigned to work the border as did many agents in the mid-west. For a while she was escorting illegals at the Arizona border on chartered flights all around the country. So there’s that taking up some of the flights.
Now she’s in McCallister Tx, not sure what she’s doing there.

The pilot shortage was forecast long ago. To become an airline pilot requires two or three hundred flight hours to get your commercial license, at a cost of say $30,000. Then you need another 1500 hours or so flying commercial – not passenger – planes. Plus you need all of your ratings – IFR, multi-engine, etc. Plus you need your type ratings. Then, maybe, you can get hired by an airline. Maybe.

And the airlines had to let go hundreds of thousands of workers the last two years, and haven’t been able to get them back.

The feds perfected this bussing BS in the years following hurricane Katrina. For 2 or 3 years after, there were charter busses (FEMA probably) at every truck stop in the surrounding states letting them out to shop and mill around. This went on for years till they finally chose a new place to squat. At least they had enough sense not to go back to NOLA, and they were citizens back then. Now just aliens.

This is what I posted yesterday in reply to this comment you made on that thread. It still holds true.

This past winter I said the flood would head north in late March. Sure enough our small town of 30,000 had groups of 4 to 6 clean well clothed and fed aliens in the walmart by June. Now they are doing the Uber Fast Food deliveries on the swing shift. All fit fighting age males too. Can get out to farm and ranch country anymore but I bet they are all over the state of Mt. I know to the N. in my former home of Missoula, the black flood from welfare transfers and pre release prison transfer programs are all over now.
I doubt my new city of residence will take much nonsense from them though. They are all inbred iron tough Irishmen who came in to mine copper. Even the girls here are tough as brass and love to fight. The dindu girls would regret dissing one of the chicks.
Same with the Latin drug gangs. They make their own meth here and aren’t going to let hem take it and still have anyone alive to sell it to. Not that that would bother TPTB.

HSF – I think it is a bad idea to shop at Walmart. There are certain things people can do to support the average Joe, perhaps as inconsequential as those things may be. Not shopping at Walmart is one such.

Claremont is a town of. 12,000. That there is a Walmart there is disgraceful. It would certainly have killed small shops. People should boycott them out of small towns. Starve the beast. I live out in the country. Those of us that do need to do everything we can to buy local and to support local business. I avoid the big shops and buy from local business. It seems to me to be the right thing to do.

Every package of reading glasses and toothbrushes bought from them adds to the wealth of the Waltons, and takes from the viability of small business people in local communities.

Back in the 80’s we went hudderite/amish. Long story short, young(ish) and stupid. Encyclopedia salesman shows up at the door. We bought everything, on credit of course. Next days realization of just how stupid we were, so cancelled everything.

From that time forth we decided to ‘prep’ and no credit buying. Bought caselot sales and when we thought we needed something we asked ourselves, do we really need it, can we live without it, or alternatives and can we afford it(no credit).

Its amazing the money saved, the junk not bought and still be able to live joyfully and simple with little clutter. Consumerism is a mental illness. Next time at any store watch how many people pull things out of the impulse items at the till, and look at what they are buying… often rubbish and the impulse shit just re-enforces that need to buy.

I decide to “live cheap” 30 odd years ago. Paid off everything and stopped the “consuming for the sake of consuming” cycle that seems the norm. Now live below Canadian poverty line and still live well.

The ‘reasoning’ I hear from others as to why they have to live in Vancouver/Burnaby in a $3000/month house makes me sad.

“I need to live here to be able to make enough money to pay for the house I need to be able to have a job that lets me pay $3000/month for a house.” Really.

They also need a new car to get to the job. And very high insurance because of where they live.

I once showed a couple that their ‘great’ high paying job actually let them keep less than living rural and working at a basic low wage job, once all the inflated costs of city living were factored in. But they did not care. Being able to drive 5 minutes to a place where they could spend several hundred dollars on dinner a couple of times a week was far more important. Whatever, their life to live.

My income last year was $2100 and change. Living in the lower okanagan where the cost of living is equal to hongcouver, expensive. DId the same, have no debts and we have no lack. When we need something, Our Heavenly Rather provides, I not only believe in the miraculous but experience it first hand, constantly.

We are having a tag sale when it cools off a bit. I will book it under our “economics” homeschool curriculum. Our children will split the proceeds and will work hard for 2 weeks hauling all of our superfluous junk out to the garage and pricing it. I can’t wait to get it out of here.

Of course it doesn’t work so well if I bring home yet more junk from the free swap place at the town’s dump. Darn it.

There is no other place to purchase plain old non-prescription reading glasses without driving eighty miles or ordering them via Amazon. I’m not going to give up reading on my anti-corporate principles. I probably would have skipped it entirely if I didn’t have to drop my sister off at the train station in Claremont.

I do try and keep my purchases extremely limited, more now than ever.

You’re right though, I shouldn’t ever go there.

Drive across the country on I-70,I-80 etc, every rest area, every truck stops, loads of brown people from South of the border. Vehicles over loaded beyond legal capacity. Motels other than the high price ones are over ran with ‘migrants’
Once there they have unknown ‘x’ amount of people per room, running out of hot water, ice machines empty, trash cans spilling over.

Basically Biden and the Elite Left have turned our Southern border into a Welcome Center, it is no longer a restricted entry border. Say ‘asylum’ and your in………

We have a an immigration system, these people flooding over the border are exempt from using it….

That actually happened in March 2018 when Trump signed the omnibus bill.

Give them a couple years and then the chain migration starts. Then it only takes a couple years after living 12-20 to an apartment, mommies receiving government welfare, guys doing manual labor for cash on your lawn and roofs and they’ll have enough to buy houses for the constant salsa parties!

Seems like I just saw this threaded into a weave yesterday. Could just be post pareidola stress syndrome, tho.

The family of manimal is designed to project, “find patterns” & other parliamentary procedures solace, have patterns given unto them by various parliamentarians, to recall, often with longing, trips made back to the future, & to stand pat within a particular makerless pattern’s schematics.

To play one’s hand w/o drawing any more cards – well, we’re talking people, not poker; one hand apiece & that’s it.

To resist changes – “sweet,” since nothing ever changes, not even “the patterns.” To be, or not to be, a reisitance trainer, like The Austrian Oaf, you first gotta be that austrian who is already that oaf. (“Screw your freedom” saith the muscular maid-impregnator, among other force/fraud inseminations.)

To stop hitting – Brad “&” Edward “&” Edward:

“Voting,” whatever the flesh tone hands, & from whatever seats round the table (if this place be as flat as it in so many ways is), is just a “pattern.” Just parliamentary. If (when) the patterned pawns are directed that “that’s over now – voting has served pattern & is now concluded,” the very next day will be the same pattern as all the previous days, with just a bit of the scenery-props taken down.

Uscrewb usta have a lot more, but here’s script. Colin Pawnders to the left, to the right, stuck in the middle with Madsen & his straight razor … & expertism is the hypocrisy that, among many other things, comes up with stuff like amateurism – & the pawns spoons ain’t big enough:

It’s run by the AAU…

… the Amateur Athletic Union, our national governing body.

Its head, Colin Ponder, keeps us amateur…

… and uncomfortable, while he hits on stewardesses…

… and goes first-class all the way.

Any American caught accepting more than a redeye ticket…

… a bad hotel and $ a day, and Colin will sanction us.

He’ll call us professionals…

… and kill our Olympic eligibility.

Amateurism is the most hypocritical crock of horseshit in American sports.

We’re much worse about it than other countries.

And nobody in America is worse about it than Colin Ponder.

Our new legal eagle, Frank Shorter, showed Kenny and me…

… a directive where Colin ordered us to switch meets…

… when the reason for this trip was…

… to beat the Finns with the best times.

We signed on to race Viren and Vaatinen in Oulu…

…not a bunch of pussies in Helsinki.

There’s the asshole.

What asshole is that?

Colin Ponder, the one who ordered us not to run this race.

– He say anything about us being here? – Not a word.

You have no Finnish?
Speak Finnish?

“Shorter, Moore and Prefontaine…

…are required to run in Helsinki.”

We’re going to run here, today, in Oulu…

…against Vaatinen and Viren.

No, no, Helsinki.

Oulu.

Helsinki.

They’re about to start our race, so listen to me!

We came all the way from Eugene, Oregon to run against those two guys.
Not a bunch of pussies in Helsinki!

Ponder what?

Sanctioned us and contaminated them.

Anyone who runs against us loses international eligibility.

– Wonderful.

– You’re not God!

He’s crazy.

This is not even your country!

– You don’t pay taxes here!

– What are you talking about?

You make me ashamed to be American!

You don’t have the right to…

…run their races and run our lives!

You’re not God…

…you overbearing asshole!

Get off me!

Pre, calm down!

What the hell are you trying to do?

Sweat.

lt wasn’t hot enough for him in Finland.

World’s latest press conference.
World here says he’s ashamed of being American.

You believe everything you read there?

What did you say?

l said that the AAU should’ve been shitcanned in .

And we don’t need them.
They need us.

They don’t need us. They got us.

The AAU’s our governing body.

Organize against them, and goodbye Olympics.

Shorter found out why they shifted us to Helsinki.

Colin Ponder extracted a little fee…

..from the Helsinki promoter to guarantee our appearance.

How much?

Tell them.

Between me, Pre and K enny, $ .

And they give us $ a day…

..for everything!

But better competition means bigger gate receipts.

So we point out to foreign meet promoters that the AAU…

..is not only shitty for our competition…

…it’s shitty for their box office. And money talks!

Louder than the AAU guys, and in any language.

Contentious little rube, isn’t he?

You fuck!

l can’t believe you’d sit there…

…not say anything and then be dismissive about this.

l’ve battled those freeloaders all your life and then some.

And guess what?

You and the AAU have a lot in common.

Bullshit! ln what way?!

Resistance to change.

They don’t want to stop shitting on you any more than…

…you want to change the way you run. Because it hurts.

– Doesn’t it?

– l wouldn’t know.

Doesn’t it hurt to change?

Sorry to say it … but welcome to the world of SoCalifornia since the ’60s … 

In ’75 or thereabouts, our own government admitted (obviously in an understatement) that at least 1 in 4 folks living in LA County at that time were wetbacks — that was when the population of LA County was about 9 million or so …

CA alone has 10s of millions of wetbacks — many of whom are now counted as ‘legal’ or ‘citizens’ by virtue of the various amnesties granted and the million+ anchor babies they’ve had there over the decades …

Our Nation was once a Sovereign Nation — that has effectively stripped away — and we were also once considered a ‘melting pot’ … now more of a chamber pot …

I also shop in Claremont, and prefer late evenings when the stores are almost completely empty. Lately there are groups of 10-12 Jamaicans or Central Americans walking around in the Market Basket supermarket, each buying things like bottled water or juices and odd snacks. They are not in a group but each wandering separately. Once they complete their purchases, they all get into a large passenger van. They clearly aren’t locals, and are different people week to week. They aren’t migrant farm workers as there aren’t any large farms around in this area.

Once the money runs out (soon), it’ll be a hellhole for these “immigrants”. I have Martin Armstrong’s typewritten Articles from the early 2000s. Followed them to a T.

The next year will be sheer hell. Regardless of the November vote.
