From Morocco to Ceuta, Spain
06 July 2021
Morocco, Africa — just next to Ceuta, Spain — European Union
Mind dump, sans edit
Chuck Holton and I currently are in Morocco. A very friendly and safe country. Not expensive. Safe for Americans. My danger meter is pegging GREEN. In Washington, D.C., on a safe day, my danger meter is amber.
Police have been polite and professional. At immigration, the police who checked my passport was not wearing mask. Other immigration officers at airport were wearing masks.
We are in a restaurant now— nice place. Nobody wearing masks.
Been here three days and have seen zero gringos. No Americans or Europeans to my knowledge. Morocco is very friendly to Americans and is the first country to recognize United States after our Revolution. For years, I have said thank you to Moroccans for this. They always are surprised when an American even knows this, and they appreciate when we do. So, if you have a Moroccan friend and you are American, thank them.
US has longstanding warm relations with Morocco. We are on best behavior to keep it that way.
Like a lot of Islamic countries, it’s very safe and civilized. Yes, believe it or not…it’s the truth. My greatest danger was standing in the sun 45 minutes yesterday to do a radio hit with Steve Bannon on War Room Pandemic. Sunburn, but that’s all.
(Okay…just as I said no gringos, just saw one.)
This morning, I cancelled CPAC trip to Dallas. After consulting some advisors, better to stay on ‘frontline’ issues out here. We will fly from Morocco to Lithuania. Belarus is weaponizing migration to Lithuania, and there is a biological warfare expert in Finland I need to meet.
Ceuta, Spain, is in Africa. Eight miles from Gibraltar. We can see Gibraltar now. Migrants who want to get into EU must only get into Ceuta. And so, they come to Morocco, or are Moroccan to begin with, and try to scale that wall to Ceuta, or swim.
In the photo attached, that is Ceuta, Spain out the windshield. I was sitting in the back. In front-right is an Algerian migrant we interviewed for much of two days. I was sitting in the back when I made this.
The Algerian we just spent two days with showed us how he tried to swim to Ceuta and got caught. He showed us where he sleeps on a hillside, along with other migrants from many countries. He’s now trying to get to Algeria and is stranded. We see this a lot in Central America and other places. They don’t quite reach their target. Hit tracer burnout on funding, and are stuck in limbo. After he spent much of two days giving us the tour, we gave him enough money to get back to Algeria, and for plenty of food, fed him — he could not even eat a full meal due to shrunken stomach — and we let him take a shower.
The Mediterranean Sea is “The Darien Gap” for migrants trying to get to Europe. Unknown thousands have died crossing. Not unlike the Gold Rush of 1849 in California during which thousands of Americans and others died crossing the plains, mountains, or sailing around South America, or crossing the Darien Isthmus now call the Isthmus of Panama.
By far, most of the migrants we see everywhere are military aged males. Many of those here are heading to places like Germany for free housing and free money. Free to the migrants, anyway. This Gold Rush is a rush for Gold that others have earned. Eventually this will lead to war. Mark it on your calendar. Somewhere in the future. The Great Migration will lead to much conflict.
We taking off back to Tangier. Tomorrow to Lithuanian. Luckily, I know some Lithuanians because I met them in the Afghanistan war.
Sorry for quick mind dump, no edit.
And THANK YOU for your financial support — because this is important, and I need it, and I am reaching a large audience directly and indirectly.
