In Small Town Iowa, The
Future Speaks Spanish

By Judith Moriarty
11-19-7

In America, you are not permitted to discuss the great migration of immigrants into this country in a reasoned rational manner. The well funded PR by corporate interests; has Americans labeled as racist, bigoted, and intolerant. The immigration of old - is held up as a banner of 'give me your tired and huddled masses who yearn to be free'. Since few know history you can tell them anything today. Everybody can identify Ronald McDonald but only a small fraction of the population can name the Secretary of State, discuss a trade agreement with you, or give the year of the Civil War. None that I personally know can describe our monetary system or the history of the Federal Reserve. Few realize that these numerous trade agreements, written for the benefit of multinational companies (absent any loyalty), are the reason for this great worldwide dislocation. Including the victims! 
 
It is not the immigrant (illegal or otherwise), or the American out of work, and burdened down with taxes, who is to be fully blamed. People (deliberately so) are being propagandized into taking their frustrations, anger, and fears out on one another. Daily we hear the drumbeat of violence on the border, Mexican gangs, schools overrun with illegal students, hospitals going bankrupt, and small town America being overrun with thousands of immigrants. The owners of the world want to keep the victims attacking one another. They certainly don't want this being identified as a 'class' issue! The few - ruling the many for their own good pleasure and profit! 
 
The truth of the matter is - the America of old is no more. While the immigrants of yesterday (exploited though they were) helped build a nation (bridges, railroads, highways, steel mills, textile mills, manufacturing, farming etc). These are all things of the past. Yesterday's immigrants built a nation. Today's immigrants are meant to labor for cheap wages, on the new corporate plantation. Someone has to serve the rich and fight their ungodly wars for more and more gold, oil, timber, water, etc. The immigrant of today, unlike yesteryear, is afforded all kinds of assistance, relocation funds, housing allowances, job assistance counseling, stipends, etc. None of this existed for those who first immigrated. Today, the small farm is being put out of business by the corporate farms with their genetically altered Frankenstein crops. Mexicans are flooding across the border due to a failed NAFTA (Hillary says she just remembers graphs and lines). The small village farms in Mexico can't compete with the tons of corporate farm produce flooding their market. Besides, China has underbid them in cheap labor, so now even their factories are leaving. China also is building huge ports in Mexico thus bypassing American ports (dock workers - warehousing etc). The Mexican trucks ( who cares if they're insured or safe) now pouring in by the thousands should end the jobs for our truckers. Fishing is already gone (visit New Bedford). Now we're buying seafood from China! 
 
The auto plants, textile mills, manufacturing plants, steel mills, paper mills, and supporting industries in America, have all gone belly-up. Maytag (no breaking news) laid off thousands, a few weeks back and left for foreign shores! With the help of federal subsidies etc, (helpful politicians) these industries have all been shipped to foreign lands; that accommodate the corporate hucksters of today with a larger profit margin. They don't have to contend with bothersome health, safety, or environmental protections in third world countries. Labor standards - ha, work till you drop -is the corporate mantra. Americans meantime, cannot compete with slave labor, making 32 cents to a dollar an hour ! No matter that the junk coming in; is inferior, laced with lead, or other poisons. China now holds America hostage, with its funding of our perpetual war- that goes about the world, bombing - shattering - melting and shredding. The borrower is always slave to the lender. It's pretty lamentable knowing that a Tiger Woods makes more for endorsing NIKI, by wearing their logo on his cap, than all the slave labor combined making these costly shoes. What a world. Same with the other gladiator sports stars.
 
Our prisons (our newest growing industry) are filled with millions (largest incarceration in the world). A for profit industry, needs products (prisoners), thus many imprisoned today, are there for non-violent crimes. Would that they were in government they'd get a pardon for their crimes. Corporate America, has found that producing their product with prison labor; saves them the bother of a livable wage, health insurance, or maintaining a facility. Best of all no unions and no strikes. Old Joe Hill (early labor activist) would be put in solitary confinement.
 
While the news today is filled with announcements of the invasion of Mexicans, the truth is, thousands - upon tens - of thousands; are being imported from distant war torn lands . Then we have the multitudes of guest workers that Congress has voted to bring in - to keep their corporate funders happy. These visas cover everything from help for the various tourist Meccas, (once a place where youth worked in the summer to earn money for college) to the professional fields (teachers, nurses, doctors, engineers, and information technology). Since all of this is happening incrementally and insidiously - the full scope of the problem is not seen. News is kept localized, thus those who live in Kansas have no idea of the thousands of Somalians who've relocated to an old mill town in Maine, nor do folks in Oklahoma, know of the paper mills closing in New Hampshire. Who's talking about the closed textile mills, or Detroit, that resembles a wasteland out of a Mad Max movie? You'll not hear 'breaking news' of American workers having to train their replacements. If they refuse they risk losing any chance of severance pay.
 
When building a global plantation, with the ultimate goal being a redistribution of the wealth (leveling in quality of living standards); rest assured that this redistribution is our money they're talking about, not those raking in the profits, and banking offshore, or maintaining their money in 'hidden trusts'. China now imports tons of contaminated products; yet these various trade agreements disallow any inspections - recalls - or refusals. Least we forget, globalists (not democrats) Hillary and Bill, gave us NAFTA (thus the exodus from Mexico) and Most Favored Nation trading with China. Hillary, meantime, promised those in Silicon Valley that she would see to it, that more guest visas would be given, to import thousands of more foreign workers. Republican or Democrat, makes no matter, we now have a corporate controlled government. One can see that those 'working' ( I use the word lightly) in Foggy Bottom, are merely treading water. They have accomplished zero in the few days that they work per week. They are punctual in voting their yearly cost of living raises and other perks ( millions in earmarks for their corporate friends back home). Remember, the name of the GAME, is to stay in office (get that obsene pension) not to serve the people. Over these past several years, our governmental agencies have been quietly decimated, with corporate appointees replacing those in key positions. Privatization of governmental services (such as the military) are being contracted out. Thus, the disgusting mess at Walter Reed - and having to prove (true); that your missing face, missing arm, and brain damage, is a total disability! It's 'be all you can be' till you come home all smashed up. Everything is broken in this country - everything!
 
The fort like department of education, meantime, throws out new social engineering mandates to the states on a regular basis. Thus the children of today can 'feel' good about being failures, unable to read, write a coherent paragraph, discuss a work of literature, or the history of our nation. The workers of tomorrow (cannon fodder for war) are being conditioned to group think - non-think - and passive, servile, compliance. We're not training the next Hawkins, Eisenstein or Mark Twain. A look at America's rating with the rest of the world proves my point. The children of the elite - well connected etc, are isolated from tomorrow's servile masses, and are being educated in private schools, with the best of equipment, teachers, and courses. No bathroom classrooms for them, or having to contend with gangs, drug addicts, or antiquated books. Their schools aren't prisons with fences, security, metal detectors, and barbed wire. They have hundreds of acres of sports, fields, science buildings, computer labs, and libaries that would put many a town's to shame.
 
The school room of today, with its special needs students, and children of various ethnic backgrounds (many not speaking English) are nothing more than holding pens. The emphasis is on passing the TEST not understanding the subject. I can study the driver's manual - why I could memorize it. To what end? If I have never sat in a car, let alone started it up - what does it matter that I got a passing percentage! I am still stupid in the ways of the road. The point is, that I can 'feel' good knowing that I can't drive! Furthermore, it is a great disservice, to mix special needs/handicapped children, into a regular classroom. A point for another discussion - in the end all the students are being robbed of reaching their full potential - but then maybe that's the objective?
 
What we are seeing across the nation, from Georgia, to Oregon, to the heartland, and north east, is an ethnic cleansing of small town America. Various cultures, languages, religious ceremonies, dress, foods, etc, make strangers of us all. But then strangers are less apt to be unified or untied in any solidarity should there be a crisis or grave injustice that needs addressed. The approximate 192,000 homeless veterans (including the Iraq War), and hundreds of thousands of other homeless; living in tents (the Gulf - Seattle) and in shelters, abandoned cars etc, many displaced from their jobs by immigrant labor, are naturally angry, seeing immigrants afforded every kind of help with housing, jobs etc.
 
Texas (Houston): "There are parts of Houston where if you didn't know better, you'd think you were in Mexico. In Sugarland our homeowner taxes are through the roof - our schools are rife with ESL classes. My grandchildren are in the minority in their 'wonderful diverse student body. Muslim students are given special accommodations while Christmas can no longer be celebrated." Bud Hamilton
 
Like Maine - Emporia, Kansas is preparing for an influx of Somali refugees. Emporia is a small city near the easter Flint Hills in the sunflower state. Emporia has a major beef processing plant for Tyson Foods.(the Clinton's buddies). Thousands are needed for cheap labor - thus, aha, refugees. Because Somalis are certified as 'humanitarian refugees' under out State Department rules, they are to be supported by social services provided by the Office of Refugee Resettlement (Dept of Health and Human Services).
 
This agency in turn contracts via state Department of Social Services with providers such as Catholic Charities to deliver services. U.S. Taxpayers pick up the tab (this is nationwide). Food processors like Tyson couldn't be happier, given the tightness of the low skilled labor pool in the area. Emporia (as is most of the heartland) is becoming a major destination for these foot soldiers of Islam. Because of its size (Emporia), not unlike Lewiston, Maine, will see this influx have a substantial and taxing impact. Other cities that have seen this influx are Indianapolis, Minneapolis, Lincoln, Kansas City, and Nashville, to name a few. In New Orleans (Gulf) thousands of immigrants were imported for the work of clean up. Meantime the tens of thousands dislocated Katrina victims, across the nation, remain in limbo unable to return with no housing or jobs.
 
These immigrants (from Bosnia - Somalia etc) are being recruited for the lowest of low end jobs - butchering and meat packing. At Swift and Company (beef processor) in Lincoln, Nebraska, butchers and meat packers quit their jobs because of insuffieient 'prayer time'. This was accommodated and they returned. Imagine this happening in the coal mines, steel mills, or rail line employment of former immigrants to this country. These low paying jobs are further subsidized with the 'earned income tax credit' monies. This has low earners compenstated, with thousands more per year (a subsidy really for corporate owners). This is tax payer money.
 
And so it goes across the land. The Democrats want the votes of these immigrants, and the Republicans want the cheap labor. The immigrants, really our new slave labor class, are mostly unskilled and illiterate. When my husbands family immigrated here from Newfoundland and Ireland; they had to have a sponsor and medical clearance. My grandparents from Russia settled in Pennsylvania. There were no relocation agencies or housing vouchers etc. My grandfather worked as a skilled stone mason, saved, and bought a farm. Also a skilled carpenter, he built his home and barn (helped neighbors with theirs). Farming his acreage, he was totally self sufficient, and sold the excess, which they took to market by horse and wagon. When he dropped dead in the field at age 43 my grandma and her eight children, ran the farm.
 
The language of the old country was not spoken in their home. The one room school house my aunts and uncles attended had no remedial language classes. Somehow, despite the hardships of rising early to attend to chores, and walking four miles to school, they all graduated, and went on to various professional jobs, including a doctor, nurse, newspaper editor, engineer etc. NO - they didn't have the excuse of being too 'stressed out' to excel. It was the same thing in the mill town where I lived as a youngster. The population were mainly immigrants. The number one priority of parents was education. Disrespect in the classroom was not heard of. There were no gangs, no graffiti, no designer clothes, no violent videos, or TV. Teachers were allowed to teach. Parents didn't park their kids in a nursery school at age two and have strangers raise them.
 
The politicians and special interests groups, who are championing this importation of immigrants and refugees, from all corners of the globe, are not in the work a day world, having their jobs taken over by a guest worker, or having a job underbid by an unscrupulous contractor who employees cheap immigrant labor. Sometimes they get paid (immigrants) and sometimes not. Being illegal has them rendered voiceless. They live in wealthy, gated, or removed villages that are absent needed social services, or they vote in zoning protections to keep out cheap housing. Their children are educated in private schools. Their children won't be competing with immigrant labor for that nursing job, IT worker, carpenter, or meat packing job. A man could once earn a decent living (thanks to Sinclair's The Jungle) at a meat packing plant. No more - these dangerous jobs now pay an approximate $8.00 an hour.
 
Sociopaths (or their lap dogs) are running most of the major governments of the world, and most of the major industries and financial institutions. Sociopaths are not much interested in mutual uplift and global benefit for the great bulk of the human race. They are primarily interested in war, plunder, destruction, cruel domination, violent subjugation and ruthless social control. So much to plunder; so much to loot and so little time. Meantime who cares about Mexico emptying its land of the poor, dispossessed, illiterate, and sick. More for the few hogs that run that corrupt country. Meantime - home on the range, we have these theatrical cartoon characters running for office (the winner has already been anointed - duh). The corporate media has programmed the mindless masses to the next Clinton regime. True, some people are so ignorant they'd vote for someone just because of gender! Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton - why, in a country of some 300 million + we'll have 28 years of the same elitist appointed dynasty. Meantime, few are aware of the implosion of America, and the massive plantation that is being constructed. Now for the 'chip' to keep track of all these 'human resources'. Hey, isn't that what all this fuss is about over licenses and immigrant ID? In days of old it was unsightly branding ! The old Hegelian Dietetic - works everytime. See article above of Iowa going global ! JM
Reading Declining In Kids And Teens
A new study released by the the National Endowment for the Arts indicates that kids and teenagers aren't reading nearly as much as they used to. Sunil Iyenger, Director of Research and Analysis, discusses the study and what parents can do to help. This might explain why so many on-line articles fail to reach their mark - and why despite "THE NEWS" this nation keeps falling like a rock into the whirlwind of chaos. . .
