NOW: US Border being Invaded

11 May 2023

My talk with Todd Bensman. I am in El Paso on border. Tod is on other side of Texas on the Gulf of Mexico side.

TODD BENSMAN:
They're not getting anywhere. They're all standing on the opposite bank and

Michael Yon
I'm gonna record what you're saying because you're saying what you're saying is historical. I just turned the recorder on. Can you say that again? Like, they're, they're where you're at and what's going on because I'm gonna I'm gonna quote you.

TODD BENSMAN
This is this is a classic Mexican standoff going on here where Texas Governor Greg Abbott has decided that he is going to deploy his tactical National Guard unit along with the razor wire line on the riverbank itself and physically, like NFL, you know, tackle block any emigrants from breaching that wire. And so they were a cross and a huge group, and they're like, you will not pass and they're all standing on the riverbank until they give up and they returned to Mexico. Like I've never seen this before. There is not a single Border Patrol agent in sight. This is definitely a Texas operation. And then they come back on the Mexican side. They pull back maybe 200… Oh my gosh. Come back out of the water and go 500 yards down and try to cross through this heavy thick river weed field where they just can't move. They're just trapped in this thing. They're exhausted. They they're just stuck down there. And there's a national like a red cross Mexican Red Cross guy. begging them all Don't go in there. Don't go in there with your children. You're gonna drown it's dangerous. You can't should not go in there. And they're all just like, Screw you, man. We're going in. We're going in and they're all just like wallowing around down there in move, not able to stop and some of them that gets to the riverbank are just now. Tracking laterally along the barbed wire and the National Guard are following them. Down the line. You're not passing and you're not getting over this. This wire. It's just it's amazing. What's going on here. I've never seen I've never seen any sort of confrontation like this between law enforcement on our side. Not in the two and a half years that I've covered this thing. It's strictly a Welcome Wagon. You've seen it. I know you've seen I've been with you. But we've seen it together. It's a red carpet in and now it's we've got rifles ARs is that looks like and side arms tactical gear and I believe that they are armed with pepper balls in case any of these guys tried to get first

Hey, Michael, yeah,

Michael Yon
Where exactly are you at?

TODD BENSMAN
I am in Matamoros
Michael Yon
Matamoros, All right, I am going to publish this right now.

TODD BENSMAN
Okay, well, if you I have a little I got one tweet up. There's one tweet with a pretty damn good video on it that you can use just, you know, credit me or say you know, Bensman, put this out. And then there's a whole bunch more. I mean, I've got this thing on tape. I just can't get it up and out.

Michael Yon
Because your internet's terrible now.

TODD BENSMAN
Yeah, it's just terrible over here. Okay, so you know the guard. I'm following them on a river road on a mic side. And the guard is just following them down. Kind of let him over. And that's how it's gonna go. I was told by a senior Texas state official who said that.
Nobody got on the horn in order dish. Got these tactical got this Tactical Unit deployed and got the razor wire put back up.

Michael Yon
Okay. Let me clarify. This is Michael Yon speaking to Todd Bensman. You said Greg Abbott when he saw your video of 1000s of people coming in that broke up a little bit.

TODD BENSMAN
Yes, that when he saw my video of 1000s of mostly Venezuelan immigrants, just crossing with no resistance or opposition through the razor wire that they had set out there was no bad you know, batched guys over there. He was infuriated on the horn and started sweeping you know, with his people saying you're going to end this now you're going to get you gotta guard that razor wire. We're going to be down there for two years straight if that's what it takes. Down there now. The very last morning, Texas DPS on the razor wire blocking like NFL players. The next set of migrants that tried to come across. I shot that video and it went viral. Video went viral. Alejandro Mayorkas called a press conference to condemn Texas for doing this by not collaborating with Border Patrol and this is not an operation that border patrol will collaborate on under Joe Biden because this blocks and stops immigrants and they're all about accommodating and facilitating and quickening the flow of these immigrants into the country. So you will not see Border Patrol anywhere.

And I think that the state of Texas is going to take its heels in on this operation. I'm walking down the riverbank tracking the migrants who are now moving laterally on this side of the Mexican side they're actually all on US soil now. They're looking for maybe a gap or an opening. I don't know what they think they're going to do. I mean, they're doing nothing except coming back over here. So it's going to happen because I'm watching them move into what looks like a whole squad of National Guardsmen down there who are building this razor wire fast as my defense all along this thing. So I am now you know, six 700 yards down from the original Mexican standoff and migrants on my right on the Mexican side are all moving down looking for an opening looking for a place where there's no national guardsmen and there's nothing but National Guardsmen these ones

Michael Yon
Alright man, this is Michael Yon again talking with Todd Bensman. And this is a I translating this because I'm in a I'm going to the border here on El Paso as well. Hey, Todd, I might see you very soon. Okay, I hope to see you again man. Definitely we'll see it brother be safe

All right, that's the phone call is now ended. This is Michael Yan. I was talking with Todd Bensman. And that phone call is terminated.

PHASE II Operation Burning Edge

JBS "Operation Burning Edge allowed more boots on the ground to force multiply the ability to get raw facts to Americans and their allies about the NGOs behind the Migrant Invasion. Private support from individuals the world over allowed this to happen. Corporate Disinformation Outlets (CDOs) were then left scrambling to either cover it up, or try and get ahead of the facts and spin them around.

Team Effort. Say no to censorship and disinformation. Support Operation Burning Edge PHASE II.

PHASE II is now."

MAGA "Make Another Globalist Avatar"

Maybe the “lunatic” was a former Trump supporter who lost a child to Trump’s money-jab. I do not know. Do you? What’s his name?

Millions of us warned Trump to back off the death jab. He told us in Trump-speak to go to hell.

Trump, Harris, Biden, Obama, Clinton, RFK, Carter, Woodrow Wilson, all globalist avatars. All traitors. Heavy in Democrat-roots.

I was excited over the grandstanding about shutting down USAID until I heard this more balanced perspective.

It still wouldn’t break my heart if it went away altogether, but as a CIA asset, it will just reincarnate into another three letter abomination.

This is a left-tending podcast and the guest is a 🏺 head, so forgive me for those!

I recommend starting at the 18 minute mark then skipping around as needed.

Suckers getting all excited about Trump supposedly opening up those JFK files.

There’s been lots of time to create fake documents and alter the real ones.

DS is creating a psyop out of this. The big “disclosure” will be like Capone’s Vault, except with more props and retired CIA plants keeping the Kennedy cultists busy.

Thick Micks.

Cooties Kill
Beware of Lice — the Government, and Typhus

29 March 2023
Yonezawa, Japan
Mind Dump, sans edit

This is important.  I am in a rush to meetings so this is sans edit:

I am in Yonezawa.  Scene of great historical famine.  I have come  by bullet train to study famine and a man named Yozan Uesugi.  Yozan was adept at spotting famine in advance and getting his people through famine.  

This morning, I write from a small Japanese cafe.  On breakfast menu is akadewa "tea".  A bean tea that I am drinking.  This tea was used during the great Tenmei Famine.  Encouraged by Yozan Uesugi.  Yozan.  The people still drink the tea and have many other "famine food" items on local menus. 

Now in 2023, conditions for global famine are growing.  Japan is at great risk.  

Some things always go with Famine.  War, Pandemic, and HOP.  

HOP is the Human Osmotic Pressure of migration.  The tidal push and pull of humanity.  

In famine, most people die not from starvation but from disease.  Diseaes such as Famine Fevers.  One of the most serious famine fevers is Typhus.  Not to be confused with Typhoid.  Typhus and typhoid are entirely different.  Even medical professionals mix the names.

Each morning years I receive daily typhus media updates from Google Net Alerts.  Below is my actual Net Alert from yesterday:



I track Epidemic Typhus because Epidemic Typhus travels with war and famine.  Not to be confused with scrub typhus or murine typhus.  I do not pay attention to murine or scrub typhus.  I pay full attention to epidemic typhus.  Epidemic typhus is spread by head lice and by body lice.  

Epidemic typhus is a no-kidding super-killer when it hits critical mass.  Or, as Dr. Chris Martenson might say, "case case case, cluster cluster BOOM!"  During the last century we seldom see a BOOM of epidemic typhus because.  We see many cases such as in American homeless camps.  And some clusters.  But not many BOOMs at this time.

This is why:

1) Thanks to smart people, we now know lice spread epidemic typhus.  So fight the lice.  Thus Army/ Marines -- short hair.  (Coincidentally, ivermectin is used against lice).

2) Typhus is caused by bacteria that is effectively fought back with antibiotics.  Unfortunately, this is 2023.  Supply chains are breaking down.  And those antibiotics come from drug companies.  Drug companies are openly killing people

These are the two most recent books I read on typhus.  One is from 1868 and might be considered outdated, but it's not.  There is much to learn from old books such as how we still behave in the face of the unknown while we fumble around searching for answers.  We bump into things a lot.  


In famine, most people do not starve to death.  We tend to die from disease long before we burn our final calorie.  

A main culprit of famine death is Epidemic Typhus.  Epidemic Typhus occurs in cold, hot, wet, dry.  Doesn't matter.  The lice live on us.  And they mate like crazy and spread madly.  

Epidemic Typhus is one of the famous Famine Fevers.  Relapsing fever is another.  

Famine Fevers onset usually some months after famine sets in.  

At issue with Epidemic Typhus is that it does not need famine to spread.  Famine only creates conditions for lice to spread.  

Epidemic Typhus has many names such as War Fever, Famine Fever, Ship Fever, Naval Fever, Camp Fever, and Hospital Fever.  This might provide a clue as to how it spreads.

This typhus is found in homeless camps in places like California.  It's there right now.  But is down to the case-case cluster-cluster level only because society has not broken down at this time.  There is nothing on earth stopping another vast outbreak of epidemic typhus -- other than lice control, and antibiotics whose supply, quality, and efficacy, are in question.

This bacteria is endemic to large swathes of earth such as in Texas and can spread as quickly as airplanes fly with body and head lice.

Cooties is an old term for lice.  And so the cooties game we learned to play was survival training.  For most modern children, cooties is just a game.  But in upcoming years those homeless camps and millions of hungry "migrants" will not be a game.  Epidemic Typhus can kill millions.  

The Dutch hate typhus on a deep cultural level.  Dutch even use diseases for curse words.  A Dutch person might say "optyfussen!"  Typhus off!  (If you look up optyfussen online, notice how often typhus is confused with typhoid.)  

Typhus is so under control today that most doctors I have mentioned it know very little about typhus.  I only pay attention because I study war -- and famine goes with war like smoke with fire.  And typhus goes with famine and war...like smoke with fire.

I sense we are heading into a period during which typhus will make a comeback and will kill massive numbers of people.  But people who study typhus even for a couple hours will have a serious advantage.  Beware the Cooties!  

Epidemic Typhus is like a giant mindfield.  But this mindfield is also marked by signs.  Read the signs.  Walk around the mindfield like it does not exist.

Even leftist media admit the homeless camps are typhus camps:


Curiouser and curiouser -- this website below identifies itself as the American Academy of Pediatrics and now recommends not sending home from school children with lice.  Are they going Medieval in creating more Epidemic Typhus?  
I do not find this surprising.  Not surprising because my paradigm is that WEF/CCP are intentionally depopulating most of the world population.  At times when you find yourself astonished, this can be a sign that it's time to reexamine your paradigm.  Surprise is an indicator that a paradigm needs adjustment or even to be thrown out.  Or at least to be recalculated.  By this time, it should be clear that democide is unfolding globally.

The same website promoting lice breeding by leaving cooties-ridden children in school, also promotes death jabs for infants and children: 

 

 
  




In closing, I have some research appointments on famine here in Japan.  This mind-dump sans-edit was sparked by a Texas friend who happens to be in Charlotte, North Carolina.  She remembers our conversation in Texas about lice and typhus.  She messaged this photo today from North Carolina -- which really got me going.  And she found this website:  https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/hair-fairies-opens-newest-location-in-charlotte-300500636.html

In closing....this research is very expensive.  Please support!

Am not out shamelessly raising millions at the big, drunk dance parties.  Seems like every political event I witness, such as Project Veritas in Miamia, or whatever, ends up being big drunken party.  I do not drink, smoke, or any of that.  I only work, and alert about big things in non-flashy ways fueld by tiny funding.  Others raise millions at the drunken bashes and end up in trailor-park fights, or in highly suspicious circumstance and scandal.  I am just a simple war correspondent and researcher.

Thank you for all support -- there are many methods at these two links:
