Boone Cutler, who has written several books with Flynn on “fifth generation warfare” (military actions such as social engineering, disinformation and cyberattacks), described immigrants as “armed diaspora communities” who are being brought into the country to commit “terrorism.” Cutler announced, without providing any details, that he would provide “irregular warfare training” to CSPOA officers before the election.
John Ferguson, owner of an aerospace company who claims to track activity along the border, pushed the dangerous and false myth that immigrants are crossing the border with military training and could pose a serious threat to the United States. “The problem is that many of these people, there are times when more than 90 percent of the people who are being detained are all men of fighting age, Chinese, Central and South Americans,” he said. “I have been south of the border carrying out missions in Mexico and I have flown with my drone over the training fields where they are training.”
The claim that “military-aged men” are being systematically taken across the border into the United States is a conspiracy that has been around for some time and is gaining more and more strength in the main Republican circles.
And while they seem to have struck a new tone, these claims about immigrant voting have been around for years. Trump has been promoting false claims about “illegal” immigrants voting since 2016, when he said the reason he lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton was due, in part, to Many immigrants vote fraudulently..Trump repeated the claim in 2020 of explain the reason you lost to Biden in key swing states like Arizona, a statement he referred to in his speech before the January 6 riots.
Trump has not stopped: “Biden’s conduct at our border is, by definition, a conspiracy to overthrow the United States of America.” Trump said last month during a speech in North Carolina.. “Biden and his cronies want to collapse the American system, overturn the will of real American voters, and establish a new power base that gives them control for generations.”
However, there is no evidence to support any of these claims, and research by the Brennan Center for Justice and Justice other organizations has shown that the number of non-citizens who vote in US elections is statistically insignificant. In a study of Brennan Center In the 2016 election, researchers found that noncitizens were suspected (not even confirmed) of voting in just 0.0001 percent of the 23.5 million votes cast.
Still, these claims have continued to gain ground as tensions rise on the US-Mexico border. Republicans have also continued to espouse the belief that the American population is being systematically replaced by minorities, a conspiracy known as the great replacement. Although the theory has been widely debunked, the conspiracy has taken hold in MAGA and increasingly dominant right-wing circles, with House Speaker Mike Johnson recently announced a bill. to prevent non-citizens from voting in elections, even though that is not a problem.
Earlier this month, the far-right X account known as EndWokeness released misleading statistics about an alleged dramatic increase in the number of immigrant voters registering in the United States to vote without ID to its 2 million followers. The statistics were quickly debunked by election officials, but the post, which is still on the site without a community note, has been viewed more than 65 million times. Elon Musk, CEO of X, shared the post with the comment: “Extremely concerning.”
At the CSPOA conference, Wayne Allen Root, a right-wing radio host who promoted former President Barack Obama’s false birth certificate conspiracy, repeated Trump’s claims about immigrant voters.
“He [2020] “The election was stolen in the six battleground states that would have given Trump a landslide victory, rather than a landslide electoral defeat,” Root said, without providing any supporting evidence. “Those six states were decided by the votes of illegal aliens who entered through our open borders. That’s the one who votes. “Those are our choices.”
