Re: Guardian (Suketu Mehta): Immigration panic: how the west fell for manufactured rage Archived Message Posted by Raskolnikov on November 5, 2019, 6:33 am, in reply to "Guardian (Suketu Mehta): Immigration panic: how the west fell for manufactured rage" A very interesting article; thanks for posting it. "The Long Read" is sometimes the last refuge of actual journalism at the fraudian possibly because it's usually not written by the in-house hacks. There are some jaw droppers in there: These comments were mirrored in February 2013 by a conservative radio show host and former US Navy Seal named Carl Higbie. “What’s so wrong with wanting to put up a fence and saying: ‘Hey, everybody with a gun, if you want to go shoot people coming across our border illegally, you can do it fo’ free’?” Higbie said on his radio show, Sound of Freedom. “And you can do it on your own, and you’ll be under the command of the, you know, National Guard unit or a Border Patrol. I think stick a fence six feet high with signs on it in both English and Spanish and it says, ‘If you cross this border, this is the American border, you cross it, we’re going to shoot you’ ... You cross my border, I will shoot you in the face. I will go down there. I’ll volunteer to go down there and stand on that border for, I don’t know, a week or so at a time, and that’ll be my civil duty. I’ll volunteer to do it.” What happened to this homicidal, hate-filled man? Four years later, Donald Trump appointed him to be head of external relations for AmeriCorps, the national volunteer service programme. After the comments came out in the wider media, he resigned. Land of the free, home of the brave indeed. Shame about the mindless crap briefly posted underneath.
