Dream of Michelle Obama and The Leftist Agenda

 

From Journal Entry 5/14/2023

Immigrants were wearing t-shirts that were given to them by our government. The t-shirts said, Ballot Banana. Michelle Obama is there. She helped to organize and see to it that the immigrants know the message. It feels like the 'Lefts' agenda to solicit the immigrants encouraging them to come across the US border, but in exchange they want you to support the Democrats party's agenda.

It felt like the Democrats are involved in encouraging the invasion at the border by giving the immigrants "handouts" and making sure they knew where those handouts were coming from.  The dream felt more like a marketing tool/sales pitch to get more immigrants into the US. And as for Michelle Obama, in the dream, her objective was to her political goals and the gains she hopes her party will obtain.

Interestingly, when I googled Ballot Banana, Banana Republic came up. Below is what I discovered. 

Dictionary.com defines Banana Republic as:

1. a small, poor country, often reliant on a single export or limited resource, governed by an authoritarian regime and characterized by corruption and economic exploitation by foreign corporations conspiring with local government officials.

2. any exploitative government that functions poorly for its citizenry while disproportionately benefiting a corrupt elite group or individual.

Where the term Banana Republic comes from:

The term originated as a way to describe the experiences of many countries in Central America, whose economies and politics were dominated by U.S.-based banana exporters at the turn of the 20th century. 

In the 1880s, the Boston Fruit Company, which later became the United Fruit Company and then Chiquita, began importing bananas from Jamaica and launched a successful campaign to popularize them in the U.S.

As demand for bananas grew, large companies made deals with governments across Central America to fund infrastructure projects in exchange for land and policies that would allow them to expand production.

The growers often depended on authoritarian rule to protect land concessions and quell labor unrest that might shrink their profits. Sometimes, they would actively subvert democracy to reassert their influence. The Cuyamel Fruit Company, for example, supported a coup in Honduras in 1911 that replaced its president with someone more aligned with U.S. interests.

The tight relationship between banana exporters and repressive and corrupt leaders ultimately undermined development in the region, exacerbated inequality and left Central American countries weak and misgoverned.

US elections are vulnerable to non-citizen voting fraud

Mass immigration has had a significant effect on American electoral politics. Despite the fact that it is a crime for aliens to vote in federal elections, noncitizens and illegal aliens are counted when apportioning congressional districts. This means that areas with large numbers of illegal alien residents gain additional representatives in Congress. This also translates into more electors under the Electoral College for such states, which means that noncitizens also exert an indirect influence on presidential elections. Several past elections – for the presidency and other offices – have been extremely close. Accordingly, ballots cast by noncitizen voters have the potential to improperly alter the outcome of elections. Consider how close the 2000 presidential election was – and how tight recent congressional and gubernatorial elections, have been. Could the outcomes have been affected by noncitizen voting? The answer is probably yes.

 The possibility exists that voting by noncitizens could significantly influence the results. Many “immigrants’ rights” groups contend that noncitizen voting constitutes a harmless misunderstanding of the rules and should not cause great concern. Even worse, a small but vociferous and radical minority of open-borders enthusiasts has claimed that noncitizen voting is actually a good thing! However, this approach undermines the rule of law. It also enables individuals whose interests may not coincide with those of the American people to exert influence on our domestic politics. Given the rate at which both the legal and illegal alien populations have been allowed to grow, the United States should be concerned with ensuring that the electoral power of U.S. citizens is not undermined and with protecting the United States from foreign influence through “diaspora diplomacy.” 

Its worth mentioning here that non-citizens can vote in certain local elections like New York, San Francisco, and Chicago. And so we are left with many questions. Has America been bought by countries like China and Russia who have now a great influence on the direction the US is going? And if so, What's at stake? Our freedoms? The constitution? And what will it be replaced with? Socialism?
