Hasn’t there always been a negative reaction to immigrants? One postulates that the difference this time is the immigrants themselves, who unlike the Italians, Poles, Germans and Irish, came here (and to the UK) with little intention of assimilating.
Bill seems to be pretending that people in developed nations who have assets (1) have no skills, (2) have been and are overpaid, and (3) fear immigrants because they believe the immigrants will take their overpaid jobs. What facts can he cite? One would wish that such a successful capitalist would consider the negative cultural and economic impacts of importing unskilled, uneducated, often uncivilized people who do not believe in either assimilation or the Western rule of law.
Everybody wants facts. And your sweeping generalization especially demands them. Your ancestors assimilated. So will today's immigrants few of whom receive public welfare.
"If something cannot go on forever, it will stop." Big government is corrupt, inefficient and incompetent. Yet much of the citizenry believes the solution lies in more government. A great irony of our time.
Willliam Colby was a WW2 hero serving in the Army and OSS. He rose through the ranks of CIA and became COS in SAIGON,from 1959-62, later Director of the Near East Division, succeeding legendary Desmond Fitzgerald, Deputy Director of Operations (the D.O.) and then Director of CIA under Nixon after Nixon fired longtime DCI Richard Helms, and Ford and including the hated and irrational and harmful Pike and Church Committees which DECIMATED all the D.O. and replaced it with ELINT and NSA and we have NEVER recovered from it. Ask veterans from CIA (if still alive but most are DEAD or VERY elderly....dont ask) and you get mixed reviews. Ford then replaced him with George H.W. BUSH, who was Ambassador to China, and Bush41 was told by Carter he would retain him, an abject lie as he FIRED HIM once inaugurated and replaced him with Adm Stansfield Turner (a man I met ) who then REALLY gutted CIA and the D.O. on marching orders from Carter who HATED CIA and its history....though espionage is by nature a dirty business much like JOURNALISM.
Bill Colby was a lawyer and liberal and formed a law firm when he left government service and CIA.
Bill Colby died in 1996, about 20 years after Ford fired him and was a story in itself, falling out of a canoe in the Wicomico River in Maryland and drowned some suggesting a stroke or heartattack and some family suggested suicide and some other suggested murder. Most likely a major health crisis like heart attack as he had atherosclerosis
His GRANDSON, not son, is Elbridge Colby.
Colby tried to reform CIA and got a lot of pushback for it. He was TOO open to Congress according to Nixon and Ford, and too LIBERAL for both and then Saigon fell a particular blow to him and wars in Angola and so forth and Ford finally fired him.
Me? I lean more into Desmond Fitzgerald and Dick Helms and such I am adamantly against what Pike and Church Committees did to CIA. HORRIFIC DAMAGE.
But its also noted that CIA had a LONG history from inception of hiring Princeton Princes...liberals all as agents and also hired OSS officers by the boatload and OSS officers were all LIBERALS....at the core of their beliefs. ANTI SOVIET but liberals.
and HERE, I might add. Clinton a reaction to Reagan and Bush41, Bush 43 a reaction to Clinton and Obama a reaction to Bush43 and Trump a reaction to Obama and then Biden.....wild swings in the WHITE HOUSE and congress too.
The ONE thing we DO know that is TRUTH is that the ISOLATIONISTS AND PACIFISTS AND NEOLIBTARD NERDS AT SILICON VALLEY and BIGTECH BIG GOVERNMENT BIG EYE IN THE SKY and BIG FREEDOM HOOVER VACCUM WERE ALL DEAD WRONG AND GAVE US THE CALAMITY WE SUFFER TODAY....HUUUUGE DEBTS SOVEREIGN CORPORATE AND CONSUMER that can NEVER be paid off, and to avoid a HARD DEFAULT will result, necessarily, a PRINTING PRESS of MONEY to DEFLATE THE DOLLAR AND PAY BACK SOME OF IT WITH DOLLARS WORTH PENNIES OR ONE PENNY ON THE BORROWED DOLLAR MAKNG IT APPEAR LIKE A MIRAGE AS PAID IN FULL....AND GIVE US A SENSE OF IRRATIONAL EXUBERANCE (RIP ELMER FUDD, AKA ALAN GREENSPAN WHO DIED EARLY THIS MORNING AT 100, AND WHO RESIGNED FROM THE FED AFTER LETTING THE ECONOMY RUN HOT AND COMPUTERS TAKE HOLD OFFSHORING RUNNING RAMPANT JUST SECONDS BEFORE THE GREAT CRASH BEGAN AS BIG WAVES BEFORE THE TSUNAMI....BEAR STEARNS, LEHMAN BROS AND SOLOMON ET AL) AND Thus Spake Zarathustra as we rolled into the MODERN AGE but jobs, industries, and our national security and economic security shifted to BEIJING, prompting the RISE AND POWER OF DONALD JOHN TRUMP the 45th and 47th President of the United States who is trying to put the genie back in the bottle, defeat Terrorism once and for all but sadly listened to JD VANCE and the PEACENIKS like BILL BONNER and then yesterday a GLOBALIST appeared on FoxNews and declared China not a belligerent enemy but a partner....THE CHAIRMAN OF THE WORLDS LARGEST INSURANCE AND OLDEST INSURANCE CARRIER CHUBB...I was in SHOCK. CHUBB HAS HUUUUGE BUSINESS IN CHINA. GO FIGURE. TALKING HIS BOOK.
So BELLICOSE BILL as I now call him is all wrong again today, barking his Ayn Rand (and Greenspan WAS HER LOVER IN THE VILLAGE AT ONE POINT As GREENSPAN WAS A JAZZ MUSICIAN THEN AND AN ECONOMICS SIDE SHOW AND FELLOW JEW) BULLSHIT and ISOLATIONIST LIBERTARIAN PEACENIK KUMBAYA CANT WE ALL GET ALONG NONSENSE (NO BILL WE CANT, NEVER HAVE AND NEVER WILL).
HUMANS ARE TRIBAL ITS WHAT CREATED ISLAM FOR GODS SAKE BILL. IT WAS ALL ABOUT TRIBALISM. RESEARCH IT. I DID. FACT JACK.
COLONIALISM HAD GOOD POINTS AND BAD. LAW AND ORDER BUT SUBJUGATION AND SOFT SLAVERY. FOR CHINA AND INDIA THEN, NOW WHAT? REVENGE?
IS AFRICA BETTER OFF POST COLONIAL WORLD (circa 1956 and forward?) I CAN ARGUE NO. NOT EVEN CLOSE.
Who was the ARCHITECT OF DECONSTRUCTING THE BRITISH EMPIRE AND ALL ITS REACHES? CHURCHILL OF ALL PEOPLE. DEGAULLE REFUSED HIS ENTREATIES AND WHICH STARTED WAR IN INDO CHINA THAT RAGED FROM 1948 -1978. AND COST MILLIONS OF LIVES INCLUDING POL POT REGIME. AND OF COURSE ALL OF THAT IS A CONSEQUENCE OF MALTA AND CASABLANCA AND TEHRAN AND THE END GAME IN YALTA.
HUMANS ARE FULL OF IT AND FULL OF THEMSELVES AND OFTEN DEADWRONG.
ALSO NOTA BENI, MAHATMA GHANDI WAS AN ENGLISH TRAINED AND SPEAKING PART OF THE ENGLISH CONTROL OF SOUTH AFRICA AND WAS INVOLVED IN THE BOER WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA BEFORE DISGUST GOT THE BETTER OF HIM, HE THREW OFF LITERALLY HIS ENGLISH CLOTHES, RETURNED TO INDIA AND STARTED HIS CAMPAIGN FOR PEACEFUL OBJECTION AND PROTEST...AND STARVATION PROTESTS AGAINST ENGLISH CONTROL OF GREATER INDIA (INCLUDING THEN WHAT BECAME EAST AND WEST PAKISTAN AND AFGHANISTAN AND PARTS OF BHUTAN NEPAL AND TOUCHING TIBET). GHANDI (A FABULOUS FILM I MIGHT ADD ONE OF THE GREATEST WITH LAWRENCE OF ARABIA) WAS THEN FOLLOWED BY OTHERS INCLUDING MARTIN LUTHER KING AND GHANDI HIMSELF BORROWED FROM JESUS CHRIST....AND OTHERS. BUT ALL THIS PEACENIK STUFF AND GLOBALISM AND IMMIGRATION UNCONTROLLED AND UNFETTERED HAS A COST (AS STARMER RESIGNED TODAY) AND THERE IS A BACKLASH. WHAT IS THE SWEETSPOT? I DONT KNOW. WHAT IS BALANCE? I DONT KNOW. NOT WAR AND ISOLATIONISM (AN ASPECT OF MAGA AND TRUMP I ABHOR) AND NOT GLOBALISM AND OBAMAISM AND BIDENISM AND SO FORTH. GREENSPAN REPORTEDLY SAID DECADES AGO THAT CLINTON WAS THE BEST REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT HE EVER SERVED UNDER. LOL. HE WAS JOKING BUT POINT TAKEN...AS CLINTON DID A 180 AND TURNED HARD CENTRIST. RELAGATING HILLARY TO THE FIRST LADY OFFICE OF NOTHINGNESS.

Agree 💯.

Bill, be careful while in London. I would hate to see you arrested for wrongthink (telling it like it is).
Makes me want to hold more gold rather than dollars or pounds.
"Immigrants" is a charitable description. "Immigrants" have been the primary weapon of the syndicate for decades now to destroy the West from within.
We are merely seeing the fruits of their efforts now in Europe and increasingly in Amerika.
Clint Eastwood delivered a nuanced description of the West's demise in Gran Torino, and Wyatt Stagg breaks it down here: https://odysee.com/@ddswaterloo100:0/Gran-Torino-and-the-Subversion-of-Heroism:6
