They&#8217;re not enforcing the law for migration to the detriment of the cities where these migrants are being shipped. But both parties are corrupt and do the will of their OCGFC masters, so we&#8217;re witnessing in Texas a manufactured conflict between Texas and the federal government partly meant to spin up the population, but after January 6 you would have to think it&#8217;s a trap. And of interest we have a joint U.S. and U.K. movie due out in April which is about a second civil war in the United States, which screams of OCGFC propaganda as they use TV and movies to prepare the population in their psyops. And the OCGFC are capable of anything as this short presentation of False Flag Attacks will show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"False Flag Attacks - How Governments Manipulate People into War\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GMUDcKhhJHM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>All it would take is putting federal agents in close proximity to armed protestors, and some criminal informant or undercover agent to start shooting.

Hundreds of people already say they are coordinating travel plans for the convoy on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/tag\/telegram\/\">Telegram<\/a> as tensions continue to rise between the state and federal government over immigration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pete Chambers, the lieutenant colonel who says he was a Green Beret, appeared on far-right school-shooting conspiracist Alex Jones\u2019 InfoWars show on Thursday to outline plans for the Take Back Our Border convoy, which has been primarily organized on Telegram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat gets us to the enemy quickly is find, fix, and finish,\u201d Chambers told Jones. \u201cThat\u2019s what we did in Syria when we took out ISIS really quick. Now we don\u2019t have the authorities to finish, so what we can do is fix the location of where the bad guys are and pair up with law enforcement who are constitutionally sound.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this kind of right-wing chatter doesn\u2019t always amount to anything, on Telegram the main Take Back Our Border channel now has over 1,000 members and is being used as a place to plan and share information about the convoy, as well as three rallies taking place in Texas, California, and Arizona next week. The convoy will reportedly begin on Monday, January 29, and participants currently say they are planning on driving to Shelby Park in Eagle Pass, Texas, where the Texas National Guard is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.texastribune.org\/2024\/01\/24\/texas-border-wire-supreme-court\/\">currently in a standoff<\/a> with the US Border Patrol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The convoy has been promoted by Texas state representative Keith Self, who appeared on Fox Business to speak about the event and posted a link to a news article from the conspiracy-focused The Gateway Pundit about the convoy on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SelfForCongress\/status\/1750663050816864504\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">his X account<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In state-specific subgroups for attendees to organize rideshares and other resources, members are outlining their plans about where along the route they will join up with the convoy. The main part of the convoy will begin in Virginia and will make its way through Florida, Louisiana, and on to Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One group member suggested others bring \u201ckits\u201d to the planned rallies so that \u201cif stuff goes down you will be able to protect yourselves and help out.\u201d Another user responded: \u201cI\u2019m in Missouri. I\u2019ll be ready and have my kit full.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some Telegram users have compared this moment to the American revolution of 1776.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere is a point where we are going to have to get our hands dirty,\u201d one member wrote in the Texas group. \u201cI&#8217;ve dealt with MANY bullies in my life, and I&#8217;ve never been able to reason with them. The one universal language bullies understand is when you push them back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another poster shared a quote from far-right figure Jack Posobiec saying the country is on \u201cthe verge of civil war with the government,\u201d while one member claimed, without evidence, that the Border Patrol is \u201cletting known terrorists into the US.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A promotional video for the convoy on the website begins with alarms sounding and the words \u201cinvasion alert\u201d flashing over what appears to be night-vision footage of people crossing the border. The video also calls back to previous convoys, such as the People\u2019s Convoy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vice.com\/en\/article\/k7wk5y\/trucker-convoy-dc-capital-beltway-republicans\">that rolled into Washington, DC, in 2022<\/a> to protest Covid-19 lockdowns. However, the administrators of the Telegram group and the convoy\u2019s website are careful to say this will be a peaceful protest and that only \u201claw-abiding citizens\u201d are welcome. The convoy\u2019s website says it\u2019s looking for everyone to join the effort, including \u201call active and retired law enforcement and military veterans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The convoy is being organized as tensions over the US\u2013Mexico border escalated this week, when the US Supreme Court lifted an order by a lower court and sided with President Joe Biden\u2019s administration to rule that Border Patrol agents could remove razor wire installed by the Texas National Guard and state troopers. Texas governor Greg Abbott has defied the ruling as the Texas National Guard and state troopers have continued to roll out wire at Shelby Park on the banks of the Rio Grande in Eagle Pass. Republicans have backed Abbott, who stated on January 24 that the state\u2019s right to \u201cdefend and protect\u201d itself against an \u201cinvasion\u201d of migrants \u201cis the supreme law of the land and supersedes any federal statutes to the contrary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-us-canada-68101927\">two dozen Republican governors<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/house\/4428993-speaker-johnson-backs-abbotts-border-invasion-decree\/#:~:text=Speaker%20Mike%20Johnson%20(R%2DLa,would%20%E2%80%9Cback%20him%20up.%E2%80%9D\">Speaker of the House Mike Johnson<\/a>, and former president Donald Trump have come out in support of Abbot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBiden is, unbelievably, fighting to tie the hands of Governor Abbott and the State of Texas, so that the Invasion continues unchecked,\u201d Trump wrote on Truth Social. \u201cTexas has rightly invoked the Invasion Clause of the Constitution, and must be given full support to repel the invasion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe feds are staging a civil war, and Texas should stand their ground.\u201d Representative Clay Higgins, a GOP congressman from Louisiana, posted on X after the Supreme Court issued its ruling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The post was shared widely in online communities populated by far-right extremists, including on The Donald, a far-right message board where some of the planning for the January 6 Capitol riot took place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no other way to interpret removing a border than outright treason,\u201d a member of The Donald wrote. \u201cThe Supreme Court justices who agreed to this deserve to be executed as traitors.\u201d Another added in relation to the judges: \u201cTraitors deserve to die.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On X on Thursday, the hashtags #CivilWar and #StandwithTexas were both trending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Do you know anything about the Take Back Our Border convoy or its organizers?

Jones described Abbott\u2019s January 24 statement as \u201cthe new Declaration of Independence.\u201d Chambers told Jones how he was planning to use the same techniques he claims he used while in the US military fighting the Islamic State to target migrants crossing the border. He echoed Abbott, and described the effort as \u201cdomestic internal defense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chambers also said that one of the stops on the convoy will be the One Shot Distillery and Brewery in Dripping Springs, Texas, which is owned by Phil Waldron, a former army colonel. Waldron was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.texastribune.org\/2023\/01\/06\/texans-jan-6-insurrection\/\">central to plotting the January 6 insurrection<\/a>, when he circulated a 38-page PowerPoint presentation to members of Congress that, among other things, called for Trump to declare a state of emergency and seize voting machines.
