Read a number of posts who see the “suspicious packages” incident as a hoax perpetrated by the Democrats, and even I was suspect for a moment over the timing and how it caused a diversion from the Honduran caravan approaching the U.S., which placed another very negative light squarely on Trump for the liberal media to eat him alive, but Trump then surrenders to the Democrats coming to their defense against terrorism! Wow! So, there he is again appearing to surround himself with enemies. Why? Because friends arouse to tyranny, envy and spoil more easily, which means…we have more to fear from them! And so, the man goes about his presidential duties unaffected and with ease and confidence. Trump’s “fake news media” enemies have been more loyal than friends he could ever ask for, always having something to prove, always showing their hands, and keeping themselves way off balance! There’s no point in revealing your intentions anyway, like get out there and argue your point, but win through your actions through the use of your enemies via deception, diversion, and disguise to do that I suppose. So how will the suspicious packages incident play out and what does it have to do with the migrant caravan anyway? I suppose we will soon see! One interesting note; the FBI director at the time the Patriot Act was signed into law was ROBERT MUELLER who was put in charge by George W Bush in 2001 to reshape the FBI after 9-ll; and again we find him at the helm of the never-ending Russia collusion investigation, when we all know Trump’s hands are clean, but there is always that air of mystery that could turn it all into a spectacle so compelling as to play to the fantasies of every person’s self-interest. Meanwhile, FBI Director Christopher Wray defended Special Counsel Robert Mueller against the “witch hunt” accusation back in June. So where are we going? When one of the sections (236A) in the Patriot Act covers “mandatory detention,” which requires the Attorney General, or his deputy, to take into custody any ALIEN who is engaged in terrorism, or who is engaged in an activity that endangers U.S. national security, or who is inadmissible or deportable because it is certified they are ATTEMPTING TO ENTER in order to undertake illegal espionage, are exporting goods, technology or sensitive information illegally or are attempting to control or overthrow the government; or have, or will have, engaged in terrorist activities? Under section 414 as well, the sense of Congress was given that the U.S. Secretary of State should expedite the full implementation of the integrated entry and exit data system for airports, seaports, and land border ports of entry specified in the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA). Without covering every section of the Patriot Act, an idea of the plan Trump might follow to ban entry of migrants at the southern border and deny them asylum is in the works. After all, whether we like it or not, the Patriot Act is the law and what Congress gave us. Open borders are what the Democrat Party want for our nation, but places Americans at risk in more ways than one. For starters, the emotional toxicity and misery of migrants who have drawn misfortune on themselves is infectious, not to mention crime and diseases they bring across our borders, places our existence and way of life at risk. Just check with traveler warnings to these areas of the world. The federal government already spends more than $5 billion a year on at least 26 homeless assistance programs for American citizens, which are spread across more than a dozen federal agencies, including the departments of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Veterans Affairs (VA) and Education. How much more homelessness and destitution can Americans absorb before they begin drowning and come to precipitate their own disaster? Whether in the global environment or in our own lives, changing personal negativity and dysfunctional tendencies starts by looking within; not by running away from home to find yourself wherever you go! Nichiren, the True Buddha writes: “If the minds of living beings are impure, their land is also impure, but if their minds are pure, so is their land. There are not two lands, pure or impure in themselves. The difference lies solely in the good or evil of our minds” (“On Attaining Buddhahood in This Lifetime,” WND-1, 4).
