New Audio of Mysterious Knocking Sound From Titan Submersible Search Released (VIDEO)

The mysterious knocking sounds that led rescue teams to believe the occupants of the Titan submersible were still alive have been released in a new documentary titled “The Titan Sub Disaster: Minute by Minute.”

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, on the second day of the search for the Titan submersible, rescue teams reported hearing banging noises beneath the surface where the submersible was assumed to be lost.

The reports of the sounds led rescuers to believe the occupants of the submersible were still alive, but it was later reported the submersible imploded two hours into its journey, tragically taking the lives of all five men on board.

After analyzing the new audio, Navy officials reported the banging signs likely stemmed from “ocean noise” or “rescue ships.”

Per Forbes:

A new clip from Channel 5’s upcoming documentary “The Titan Sub Disaster: Minute by Minute” includes audio of the eerie “knocking” sound rescuers heard in their search for the Titanic exploration vessel that led them to incorrectly believe at the time that those onboard may have still been alive after the sub lost contact with the surface.

The audio, which was not previously released to the public, was given to the documentary’s producers by the Canadian Air Force team that led the search and rescue mission for the five people aboard the Titanic sub when it went missing on June 18, 2023.

Reports of rescuers hearing a knocking sound while searching for the sub emerged on the second day of the four-day search, and were confirmed on day three, but the Canadian Air Force told Channel 5 they’d heard banging from the first day and on every search flight.

A U.S. Navy official at the time told CBS News that analysis of the banging noises determined they were likely ocean noise or sounds coming from other search ships, and Chris Parry, a former admiral in the British Royal Navy, told TalkTV the sounds could have originated from the Titanic wreck.

After the reports of “potential signs of life,” it was discovered the Navy knew the Titan imploded days before it was officially announced the submersible imploded but failed to release this intel to the public causing the families of the loved ones on board to have false hope that their loved ones were still alive.

Yikes: 49-Year-Old Stripper Running for Portland Mayor

A 49-year-old stripper who performs under the name “Viva Las Vegas” is running for mayor in Portland, Oregon.

The middle-aged exotic dancer, whose real name is Liv Osthus, has no experience in governance but takes her clothes off for cash at a strip club called Mary’s in Portland.

When asked by Willamette Week what she would say to older Portlanders who might balk at electing a stripper mayor, Osthus said she would invite them to watch her strip.

“If the stripper thing is so damning, they could watch my TED Talk, or read the book, or watch the movie,” Osthus said. “Strippers are amazingly strong, graceful human beings inside and out. I would invite them into Mary’s to let me change their minds.”

Osthus also claims that her 27 years of stripping prepared her for politics by giving her experience listening and connecting to people.

Asked, “What managerial experience can you point to?” Osthus replied, “I have none, and the team I’m pulling together will be the people who guide me on that.”

Willamette Week notes, “She’s well known in the Portland arts world as an outspoken sex workers’ advocate as well as a published author, writer and musician. After graduating from Williams College in 1997, she moved to Portland to pursue her music career, and soon after began stripping. She’s been dancing ever since, often on the stage at Mary’s Club.”

Osthus is running against three of the five sitting city commissioners.

Paul to Force Vote on Biden’s Sale of F-16s to Turkey

Paul to Force Vote on Biden’s Sale of F-16s to Turkey

Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky has a resolution that aims to block a weapons sale worth $23 billion to Turkey.

On Thursday afternoon, the Senate will vote on a resolution from Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky that would block a sale of F-16 fighter jets and other military supplies.

President Joe Biden’s administration approved the sale last month in what Paul described to The American Conservative in a phone interview as a “quid pro quo” between Washignton and Ankara for Sweden’s accession into NATO. The package, worth $23 billion, would provide Turkey with 40 F-16s, which would increase Turkey’s supply of fighter jets by nearly 50 percent.

For Paul, however, it’s less about the price or number of planes. “I think you quantify it in terms of the strategic possibility that in gaining new F-16s with new software and new technology on them, that these F-16s could be used to somehow test the S-400 Russian system [the Turks] have, and either find weaknesses of the F-16 against the S-400,” Paul told TAC. The biggest worry is that Turkey could “share that information with the Russians.”

“If any of this information is given to Russia it would be deleterious,” Paul stated. “It wouldn’t be good for our national security.”

Turkey, a NATO member since 1952, has also come under pressure from NATO allies over the last eight years for courting Russian defense systems and Russian energy. The way Ankara and Washington see the world has increasingly diverged since the attempted coup in 2016.

“I think that there’s many reasons to still be suspect of Turkey’s fidelity to the alliance, and Turkey’s fidelity to the west, frankly. And I think that their human rights record leaves much to be desired as well,” Paul claimed. As for Sweden’s entrance into NATO, Paul said, “I don’t think the trade off is really that great. I’m not sure Sweden adds much to defending Europe or defending NATO or defending us at all. It’s not that I’m against Sweden. I’m a big fan of a lot of things about Sweden, but I don’t think they add to our national security at all.”

Nevertheless, after 20 months of negotiations between Turkey, America, and other NATO allies, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan signed off on Sweden’s entrance into NATO. Previously, Turkey resisted adding Sweden into NATO because Sweden harbors groups that Erdogan’s Turkey considers “terrorist organizations.” Turkey has been critical of Sweden’s support for followers of the U.S.-based Islamic cleric Fethullah Gulen (whom Erdogan blames for the attempted coup in 2016) and Kurdish militant groups like the PKK and the YPG.

Turkey’s relationship with Russia isn’t the only relationship that complicates the United State’s relationship to one of its oldest NATO allies. Turkey also has a working relationship with Hamas that’s potentially broader and deeper than Hamas’s relationship with Iran. 

Turkey provides financial, intelligence, and military support to Hamas. In 2012, for example, Hamas received a $300 million donation from Turkey as it set up operations in Turkey. NGOs with relationships to the Turkish government have been used as pass-throughs to take cash from Ankara to the Gaza Strip. In July 2023, Israeli authorities claimed 16 tons of seized explosive materials enroute to Gaza were sent from Turkey. Furthermore, there are claims that a Turkish private military contractor, SADAT, assists Hamas in military procurement and preparation.

“Any of their support for Hamas, obviously, will hurt them,” Paul said of Erdogan’s government. “There will be some in our caucus who vote against them for their support of Hamas,” he said of the impending vote.

Paul thinks voting in favor of the sale could follow Senators home. “I think this is one of those things where you go back to many of the red states and try to explain why you’re first selling F-16s to Turkey, which supports Hamas, has terrible human rights abuses in our country, and isn’t really a country that has free elections—there’s a lot of reasons not to be too excited about selling arms to Turkey,” Paul explained. “So I think this won’t be as popular of a vote as people think it will be at home. I think the position I’ll take will be the popular one at home.”

Nevertheless, Paul told TAC “winning is a long shot.”

Yet, the sale brings up crucial questions about the durability and usefulness of the NATO alliance. “There’s always the real question of whether Turkey is a reliable ally or not. And I think there’s a great deal of argument that they are fair weather friends, they’re sometimes with us and sometimes opposed to us,” Paul explained. But beyond questions of Turkey’s commitment to the alliance, Paul pointed out, “we also should be concerned because, even though many countries are paying a little bit more for their national defense, NATO still remains primarily funded by the U.S. Most of those countries in Europe that are now in NATO are small countries without much national defense. I think they serve more as tripwires to get us involved in regional squabbles, as opposed to actually being countries that would meaningfully defend us if the U.S. could be attacked.”

Furthermore, the weapons package could undermine Turkey’s ability to be a mediator in the negotiations that could put an end to the war in Ukraine, according to Paul. On Wednesday, Erdogan announced, on principle, it supports Ukraine’s 10-point peace plan and that Turkey is working with the United Nations to ensure the safety of commercial ships in the Black Sea. “I think it makes them less influential in any kind of peace agreement,” Paul said of the arms sale. “I think the peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine is more likely to happen if there is some sort of interlocutor that is of a more neutral mind, but it’s hard to find countries like that anymore.”

Defense Secretary Austin Begs Congress for Forgiveness after His Unauthorized Absence from Work – But Refuses to Forgive Military Members Who Refused COVID Vax (VIDEO)

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) Grills Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin during House hearing.

Biden’s formerly AWOL Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin testified before the House Armed Services Committee Thursday about why it took him so long to notify the president, Congress and the public about his hospitalization and stay in the intensive care unit after complications from prostate cancer surgery.

Austin deserted his post for several days without notifying his superiors about his whereabouts. This is a violation of his oath and it took place as the elites in Washington DC ramped up their war rhetoric with Russia and sent more military personnel to the Middle East to deal with the latest conflicts.

During his testimony, Secretary Austin begged for forgiveness for his surprise disappearance. But Austin had no forgiveness for the 8,600 service members who he kicked out of the military for not taking the COVID Vaccine.

REP. MATT GAETZ: “Now that you see how personal medical decisions are, will you call for the re-recruitment, restoration of full rank and back pay for the 8,600 service members who were vax-mandated out of the military?”

SECRETARY AUSTIN: “No, I won’t.”

They need to impeach this clown. One botched lost war was bad enough.

“We the People are Locked in a Battle Between Good and Evil” – J6 Political Prisoner Matthew Beddingfield Gets Teeth Knocked Out in Prison and Needs Your Help (VIDEO)

J6 Political Prisoner Matthew Beddingfield

23-year-old political prisoner Matthew Beddingfield was arrested in February of 2022 a year after the January 6 protest at the Capitol.  He is now six months into his 38-month sentence.

Matthew wrote the following to The Gateway Pundit to share his story, his hopes for the future and his concerns about what is happening in our nation.

Read Matthew’s letter below:

Hello, My name is Matthew Beddingfield. I am a 23-year-old J6 prisoner from the Raleigh area in North Carolina. In January of 2021 I traveled with my Dad to DC to listen to Trump speak and use my First Amendment right to protest the stolen election. At the time, I had no idea how drastically the events that unfolded would affect my life.

In February of 2022, I was ultimately arrested for my participation in the mostly peaceful protest. I sat in Northern Neck Regional Jail for a little over a month, but after 3 bond hearings, I was let out on pretrial release. While I am thankful that I was not forced to sit in jail awaiting trial, the restrictions that were placed on my freedoms were unheard of for such a case, at least that’s what my lawyer and pretrial release officer both felt.

**Please help Matthew here.**

Aside from being placed on an ankle monitor, I was not allowed to access the internet, I was not allowed to have contact with my Dad, not allowed a bedroom door, and for the first 6 weeks, I was not even allowed to leave the house. After those 6 weeks were up, they finally allowed me to go back to work, but it wasn’t long after that when the prosecutor tried to revoke my bond for going to eat at Buffalo Wild Wings with my Mom. My bond was not revoked, thankfully, but it showed me how closely they were going to scrutinize every move I made.

I was out for a year when I was offered a plea deal with a guideline range of 36-47 months. This was a no-brainer decision, considering the first plea offer they gave me was between 4-5 years, and the alternative of going to trial and risking getting more time was out of the question. So in February 2023, I pled guilty to assault on a police officer. Then in July of the same year, I was sentenced to 38 months in prison.

So now I sit 6 months into my prison sentence. I’m thankful that I wasn’t placed far from home so I can receive visits from my family once a month. This whole situation has been the hardest on my Mom because she loves me more than anyone does. Right after her is my Dad, who feels like it’s all his fault for taking me, but I assure him that I don’t blame him because it wasn’t his fault that I went in; it was my own decision-making.

**Please help Matthew here.**

This whole situation has made me feel closer to my family than ever before because I realize how lucky I am to have them and that no one will ever support me like they have. I try to look at everything from a positive perspective, considering others are going through a harder time than I am. I’m glad that I do not have a wife and kids left behind at home because I can’t imagine how much harder it would make this situation.

I like to look at this point in my life as a test from God to help shape me into the man He wants me to be, one who is more resilient, humble, patient, and grateful for everything He has done for me. I look forward to getting out and moving forward with my life. When I get out, I hope to be able to start a business, build a family, and become a leader in my community.

I also hope to one day run for office as a representative so I can make my way into the Capitol by legitimate means considering our federal government lacks patriots. I am looking forward to the upcoming election in November with Trump, I pray he wins and holds up on his promise to release the J6 prisoners as well as fix the border crisis.

I denounce the narrative pushed by the media of an insurrection. I believe without the provocation by federal agents, the events that transpired would never have happened. January 6th was a setup by the feds to create the vision in the minds of the public that we are the “greatest threat to democracy.”

America is headed down a dark road of destruction, and I pray for the future of our nation. I believe We the People are locked in a battle between good and evil; with the truth and God on our side, we will win.

Thanks to everyone who shows their support to the J6 community.

Stay strong, patriots; the fight has only begun.

President Trump Is Set to Speak in Eagle Pass, Texas – Ground Zero in Joe Biden’s Open Borders Invasion (VIDEO)

Illegal aliens corraled in into a fenced off area in Eagle Pass, Texas thanks to Joe Biden’s open border policies.

President Donald Trump is visiting Eagle Pass, Texas, on Thursday — a place that has turned into the epicenter of a growing feud between Texas and federal authorities over how to tackle the migrant crisis and who has jurisdiction over that part of the US-Mexico border.

Eagle Pass, Texas is at the epicenter of Joe Biden’s illegal alien invasion of America.

On Thursday RAV reporter Jayne Zirkle told Steve Bannon that a body was discovered at the border before President Trump’s visit. The Gateway Pundit has not been able to confirm the report. However there have been numerous drownings in the Rio Grande River after Joe Biden entered office and opened the US southern border.

HERE WE GO: Maricopa County is Sending Phony Mail-In Ballots AGAIN for Presidential Preference Election – One Voter Receives TWO Ballots With Her Name, Another Receives Ballot for Fulton County, GA Resident

Voters in Maricopa County, Arizona are reporting receiving strange mail-in ballots addressed to them ahead of the March 19, 2024 Presidential Preference Election.

Maricopa County, which holds roughly 60% of the state’s voting population, is considered the bellwether county for Arizona elections. The County is well known for sham elections involving phony mail-in ballots and, more recently, voting machine failures targeting Republican in-person voters.

The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively on the stolen 2020 and 2022 elections in Arizona. In both elections, thousands of ballots with no chain of custody documentation or signature identity verification were seemingly added to the results out of nowhere.

As The Gateway Pundit exclusively reported, a review of mail-in ballot affidavit signatures, when compared to voter registration records, showed that roughly ten percent of mail-in ballots were likely fraudulent with voter identity theft. View the fraudulent mail-in ballot signatures here:

TGP EXCLUSIVE: Limited Maricopa County 2022 Ballot Signature Review Shows Obviously Mismatched Signatures Accepted at Level One – VIEW RECORDS HERE

Similarly, election watchdog group We The People AZ Alliance, after an extensive review of hundreds of thousands of 2020 election mail-in ballots, discovered that 300,000 potentially fraudulent votes were not signature verified in accordance with the law.

Also, as seen in the 2022 general election, voting machine and printer failures at 60% of voting locations disenfranchised Republican in-person voters who turned out at a ratio of 3:1 to vote for Trump-Endorsed candidates Kari Lake and Abe Hamadeh. Kari Lake’s attorneys argued that these were intentional errors caused by malfeasance and falsely certified logic and accuracy testing prior to election day.

Thousands of in-person provisional ballots across the state were also not counted due to wrongfully canceled voter registrations without the voters’ knowledge.

This is why the County decided to unconstitutionally exclude The Gateway Pundit correspondent Jordan Conradson from election-related press conferences before, during, and after the sham 2022 general election, where 60% of voting machines across Maricopa failed on election day, disenfranchising Republican in-person voters. Maricopa County hates transparency and cannot be trusted to run a clean election.

Now, concerned citizen Aubrey Savela reports that she received TWO mail-in ballots with her name on them:

Maricopa county at its finest…

My first time ever voting in a presidential preference election, and I received not one but two mail-in ballots

Thank you @stephen_richer

Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer responded on X, blaming Savela for the mistake by his office and doxxing her. Savela responded again with sarcasm, “I see you had no problem sharing my city of residency, maybe next time you can just share my whole address.”

Richer then fired back with another contemptuous post, notifying her and the world that they can request her exact address because it’s a public record.

Thank you so much Mr. Richer for the clarification regarding my ballots!

I see you had no problem sharing my city of residency, maybe next time you can just share my whole address.

But, another Phoenix resident claims that he received a mail-in ballot for a woman who “appears to have been living (and voting!) in Fulton County, Georgia, since at least 2015.”

Brian Anderson, who previously worked as a press and research aide for former Arizona Governor Doug Ducey and founded Arizona Capitol Oversight, said in an X post, “Yet her Maricopa ballots presumably have been mailed to this UPS box every election for the past decade?”

The woman reportedly “moved out of Arizona around 2013 and has voted in Georgia elections since at least 2016,” according to public records.

Why is there a Dem ballot in my (recently registered) UPS mailbox?

Anderson later reported that he marked the ballot as invalid and returned it to USPS.

AZ Free News reports,

Registered voters may obtain a mail-in ballot by either joining the Active Early Voting List (AEVL) or making a one-time request for such a ballot. Under AEVL, voters may receive early ballots by mail indefinitely, so long as they vote at least once every two election cycles, or four calendar years.

Anderson shared with AZ Free News what he’d discovered through public records: the woman named on the ballot had moved out of Arizona around 2013, and has voted in Georgia elections since at least 2016. 

“I just don’t understand how no one has marked this lady as inactive after a decade,” said Anderson.

Under a law passed in 2021 turning the Permanent Early Voting List (PEVL) into AEVL, SB1485voters are supposed to be removed from AEVL if they haven’t cast an early ballot over the course of two consecutive federal election cycles and fail to respond within 90 days to a mailed notice from the county recorder. Such a response would have to include a written confirmation of that voter’s desire to remain on AEVL, along with their address and date of birth.

This is not a good sign for the upcoming Presidential Election in a county that is already infamous for running shady elections.

House Freedom Caucus Calls on Mitch McConnell to Immediately Step Down from Leadership and Not Screw Republicans in Upcoming Election Like Paul Ryan Did

Trump hater Paul Ryan and Trump basher Mitch McConnell

Paul Ryan never liked Donald Trump. He still frequently attacks Trump and praises his detractors like angry warmonger Liz Cheney.

Dirty Paul Ryan repeatedly lied to the American public about funding President Donald Trump’s border wall.

Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell Stick It to Trump – Will Not Fund Border Wall in September Funding Bill

Paul Ryan is now a board member at FOX Corp.

Paul Ryan announced in December 2017 that he was retiring after the midterm election in 2018.  Then he stuck around and did as much as he could to fund never-Trumpers and ignore Trump supporters in the historic midterms that gave Nancy Pelosi the gavel again.

Paul Ryan also hampered House republican investigators when he blocked subpoenas of Democrats associated with the Trump-Russia collusion hoax.

Yesterday, Trump-basher and failed Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell announced he will step down as Senate Republican Leader – but not until AFTER the 2024 election!

That way, Mitch can do all he can to fund unpopular RINO candidates, fund the endless War in Ukraine, ignore the US border, lie to Republican voters, and help Joe Biden and Democrats to a successful 2024 election so they can continue to destroy the country and jail noisy Republican opponents.

But, there is some hope.

On Wednesday, following Mitch McConnell’s announcement, the House Freedom Caucus called for Senator Mitch McConnell to be replaced immediately instead of waiting until November.

Our thoughts are with our Democrat colleagues in the Senate on the retirement of their Co-Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (D-Ukraine).

No need to wait till November… Senate Republicans should IMMEDIATELY elect a *Republican* Minority Leader.

JUST IN: Federal Judge Blocks Texas Law That Gives Police Power to Arrest Illegal Aliens Amid Biden Border Invasion

It’s all hands on deck to stop Texas Governor Greg Abbott from securing the southern border as tens of thousands of illegals invade the US every single day on Joe Biden’s open border invitation.

US District Judge David Ezra, a Reagan appointee on Thursday issued a temporary injunction that blocked a Texas law that gave local police power to arrest illegal aliens.

“The preliminary injunction granted by U.S. District Judge David Ezra pauses a law that was set to take effect March 5 and came as President Joe Biden and his likely Republican challenger in November, Donald Trump, were visiting Texas’ southern border to discuss immigration. Texas officials are expected to appeal.” – ABC News reported.

In December Governor Greg Abbott (R) signed a bill that gives Texas police power to arrest illegal aliens amid Biden’s border invasion.

“Biden’s deliberate inaction has left Texas to fend for itself,” Abbott said, adding the new bill is designed to “stop the tidal wave of illegal entry into Texas.”

“At the Texas-Mexico border today for a bill signing ceremony that will take #OperationLoneStar to the next level,” Abbott said on X.

Far-left ‘civil rights’ organizations such as the ACLU filed lawsuits to stop Abbott’s new law.

“Ezra wrote in his decision that allowing Texas to “permanently supersede federal directives” due to an invasion would “amount to nullification of federal law and authority — a notion that is antithetical to the Constitution and has been unequivocally rejected by federal courts since the Civil War.”” ABC News reported.

Joe Biden headed to Texas to visit the southern border for a photo-op.

President Trump will also be at the southern border on Thursday.

WATCH: Ben Bergquam Reports from Darién Gap That US is Funding Processing Centers in South America and Flying Illegals into America BEFORE They Reach The Border

The Democrats are now hiding the crisis at the southern border by meeting illegals halfway and flying them into the United States.

Real Americas Voice correspondent Ben Bergquam is on a fourth escapade through the Darién Gap, where he discovered “15-acre facilities” that the United States is using to process and smuggle illegals into the United States before they even reach the border.

The Darién Gap is known as the world’s most dangerous route for illegal immigration into the United States between Colombia and Panama.

“The numbers at the border go down, but the numbers that are going into our country go up,” Bergquam reports from Central America.

Oscar Blue Ramirez added, “When they get to every port of entry from Central America and South America, they will be categorized now as refugees and asylees,” saying the Great Replacement Theory “is not a theory anymore.”

Ilegal immigrants’ access to the US with full rights is being streamlined through these processing centers called Safe Mobility Offices. According to the Associated Press, they’re then being shipped into the US by plane.

Associated Press reports, “With the safe mobility initiative, they’re arriving as refugees who have already met the requirements and will be legally allowed to live and work in the U.S. The process takes only months, while more traditional refugee screening is a yearslong effort.”

These processing centers, run by the US State Department, the Department of Homeland Security, and globalist organizations, are located throughout Central America in Guatemala, Costa Rica, Colombia, and Ecuador.

According to National Immigration Forum:

As part of a far-reaching plan to address large-scale migration across the Western Hemisphere, the Biden administration announced in spring 2023 that it was establishing new regional processing centers in Latin America, where prospective immigrants, temporary workers, and refugees would be able to access free screenings for potential lawful pathways to the United States and beyond. 

By June 2023, the first regional processing centers — rebranded as Safe Mobility Offices (SMOs) — launched their initial phase in three countries: Guatemala, Costa Rica, and Colombia. Ecuador later joined in with its own iteration that October.

Early on, the State Department indicated that eventually, it intended to open around 100 brick-and-mortar facilities in the region, with support from personnel at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the International Organization for Migration (IOM), and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

“These are places where we feel a humanitarian, as well as the security imperative, to meet people where they are, to cut the smugglers out, and to provide them with a safe and orderly way to arrive in the United States if they qualify for relief,” DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said of the SMOs. 

In the first months of the initiative, much remains unclear about the offices’ operational realities. But at least on paper, they appear to serve a dual purpose: 1) as sites to identify and refer refugees from within the Western Hemisphere for potential resettlement in the U.S., and 2) as on-the-ground locations to try to deter irregular migration to the U.S.-Mexico border by sharing credible information about the U.S.’s immigration system. 

Staff at the centers may also screen applicants for relocation to other safe countries, like Canada and Spain. However, at least some of the offices have made clear that they are not issuing visas to the U.S. directly. That said, a January 2024 article by The Associated Press said that through the new program, “3,000 refugees have arrived in the U.S., and 9,000 have been approved” — a promising first start.

During the initial phase of the SMOs, offices in each participating country have incorporated distinct parameters, eligibility criteria, and processes for applicants. Read on for more about what we know so far on how the SMOs are being implemented in Guatemala, Costa Rica, Colombia, and Ecuador, and who may qualify to participate.

For three years now, we have witnessed Joe Biden’s intentional destruction of America on a daily basis. His failed economic policies, overspending, foreign policy nightmares, and persecution of his political opposition are only overshadowed by his open border policies that have allowed over 10 million illegal aliens to walk across the open US border with Mexico into the United States and immediate government benefits. How many of these people will vote in the 2024 election in states that do not require proof of citizenship to vote or on federal only ballots, which do not require a Social Security Number or a driver’s license in many states?

As The Gateway Pundit recently reported, now, after three years of complete border chaos, a majority of Americans support a border wall on the US southern border with Mexico.

MAJORITY of Americans WANT a Border Wall for First Time in History – And All It Took was 3 Years of Joe Biden’s Open Borders and 10 Million Illegal Migrants

But a wall can’t stop a plane or what is coming…

Ben Bergquam and Oscar Blue Ramirez sounded the alarm after reportedly encountering a growing number of illegals traveling the route and witnessing the large facilities that the United States uses to smuggle humans, classified as refugees, into our country.

Watch below:

BERGQUAM: Joe Biden and the Democrats are pretending like the numbers are going down at our southern border. We’re here in the jungle. The numbers are massive every single day, it’s nonstop. When we first started coming here, you’d see one or two groups a day. Now it’s just continuous. But what we just got word I got a call from Todd Bensman from Center for Immigration Studies. We just got word that these facilities that we uncovered out here in the jungle 15 acre facilities; they’re calling them mobility centers, and what they’re doing in these facilities, apparently, this is through the State Department, Secretary Blinken. And think about this, Oscar, we hadn’t heard anything from Secretary Blinken this entire time, until about a month ago, he started announcing these welcoming centers in America. So, they started building these welcoming centers in America. At the same time, they’re building these so called mobility centers in Central America. From what Todd has gathered, these mobility centers are simply a way to create refugees. So, all of these illegals that are coming through, they’re all economic migrants, they’re are all fleeing their countries for a better life, which I totally get that, but it doesn’t qualify for asylum in America. But, if they can catch them on their way, they’re actually using United Nations IOM to apply for them at these facilities to get them refugee status. So then they can fly them directly into our country, and nobody sees it. So, the numbers at the border go down, but the numbers that are going into our country go up. This is treason. It’s treason. And so not only are they not fixing the border problem, they’re looking in your face, they’re laughing at the American people, saying, how stupid you must be to even believe what we we’re saying simply for an election year. That’s what’s happening. Joe Biden is running for office, these open borders Democrats, they don’t want to fix the problems. They want more of this. They want more of these, all of these Palestinians, they want more of the BLM and ANTIFAs. They want more of this! That is insane, man.

RAMIREZ: It’s a loophole… When they get to every port of entry from Central America and South America, they will be categorized now as refugees and asylees. So in that particular case, they’re registered. It is into every port into every border, they will be refugees.

That direct access will be to the United States of America. So they just created a massive loophole. This is the reason why because Americans in the United States, they are waking up to know that the majority of the people that are coming in are not legitimate cases of asylum, they’re economic migrants. So these guys already created a shield and a protection, you know, strategy for them to create a loophole to go around your system and your law to break your immigration law and basically go round it and fly directly by creating refugees in an epicenter, getting out of the Darién. This is supposed to be closed, but they don’t want to close it because of that. The business continues. It is a humanitarian slavery business; weaponize migration to destroy borders, to destroy sovereign nations, and to continue with this because the replacement theory, Ben, and I don’t want to say this, it is not a theory anymore for all you leftist progresses who categorize me and him as a white supremacist, conspiracy theorists, fear mongering, creating hysteria. It is none of that BS. It is a reality. What are you doing? You are not You cannot fool the American people anymore, and you’re trying to do it again.

Breaking: we just made it out of the Darien Gap for a historic fourth time; more than any other media has done as far as I know. So much to tell you guys, but I want to start with some breaking news I received from @BensmanTodd just before leaving that ties to what we saw in the… pic.twitter.com/joVvfCXYru
