Rome's irredentist immigration attack on Springfield, Ohio
You're listening to Radio Looks Lucid. I'm your host Steve Matthews. Thanks for joining me for episode 124. Title of this episode is Rome vs. Springfield, Ohio. Well, I hope everybody has been having a good weekend so far.
And I hope you've been safe from from Hurricane, what is that, Helene? I think is the way way they're pronouncing that name. Could be wrong about that. You know, I live in in the Cincinnati area. We're a long way from the ocean.
But nevertheless we have definitely gotten the the effects of a hurricane. It might seem kind of weird, you know, being where we are, you know, Ohio, that hurricanes would be of any particular issue here, but they they are.
We do get we do get the after-effects of hurricanes. And we've had a lot of rain here the last couple days and earlier in the week we had rain. I think maybe, I don't know if I had mentioned this in the last podcast a few weeks back, but, you know, it's been super dry here and yeah, I don't think I'd mowed in the grass since probably early August, but now I'm having to mow it again here.
I'm going to be having to here shortly, I think. You know, it's amazing. I mean the the grass in our yard was just this dried up, crisp, burned up, dead to the neck up, you know, I mean as dead as dead can be.
And after a few days of rain, that stuff's green again. It's amazing to me, the resilience that the grass has. I wish I could be as resilient as what our grass is in the yard. You know, it's amazing how that stuff in just a few days, a little bit of rain, boom, you know, it's right back to to looking green.
I don't know how that's possible, but it is. That's just how grass rolls. So anyway, yeah, so, you know, it's it's been really dreary here today and you know, the whole thing, it just kind of, I want my summer back, you know, I mean, I do like summer.
I miss summer. You know, right now it's been gray, overcast, you can't really go out and do a whole lot. And I don't like that, you know, I mean, I feel like I already have cabin fever and we've only had a few, a couple of days of this.
Yeah, I really look forward to to getting back into the summer mode, but I guess it's going to have to going to have to wait for a few, a few months, six, seven, eight months, something like that for summer returns again.
I, I always kind of hate that when it goes away, but oh, well, be that as it be, as it may. That's that's the way it is. We're in the fall here in the northern hemisphere. So anyway, so it's been been an interesting week this week, this week newswise.
And I especially wanted to share with you is a, an article, the, the title of the, the, the podcast here tonight, Roan versus Springfield. It's actually from an article that I just found, it happened to come across this on, on X Today.
And it's some reporting that was done on the situation in Springfield, Ohio. You've followed the news over the last month, doubtless, you've probably heard some about that, you know, in the debate that Donald Trump had with Kamala Harris, you know, Trump famously talked about, you know, they're eating the cats and they're eating the dogs and you're eating the pets of the people who live there, this kind of thing.
And, and that, that, that's probably the most iconic moment of that debate. And everybody was, was talking about that. And of course, even before that debate, this was something that had kind of percolated up and become a national news story.
And with good reason, one of it is the Springfield, Ohio, it's, it's close, it's fairly close to Dayton, Ohio, a bit north of, of where I live. And it's a town of about, I think they said 58 ,000 in the, the last, the last census.
So it's not a little teeny tiny place, you know, it's not like one stoplight, but yeah, it's not a huge place either. But I mean, it's a, it's a sizable, a sizable town. And it had, let's say a population of about 58 ,000.
But within the last few years, there have been, I've seen estimates up to 20 ,000 people, 20 ,000 Haitians have been imported into this town. And as you can imagine, I mean, if you increase your population by that much, it's going to cause problems.
It wouldn't matter if, where they were from. I mean, if you imported those people from, from Wisconsin, you know, I mean, it would be, it would create a lot of problems just because there's a very large percentage increase in a short period of time.
But then when you're bringing people in from a foreign country that don't speak the language, that don't share the customs, it really creates even bigger problems. And what I suspected about this whole situation in Springfield is that it is not organic, rather it has been orchestrated.
And I happened to come across an article, the title of it, in fact, let me get it up here on the screen because I'd like to spend most of this, most of today here talking about it. Let me get the article up here.
Okay, so here we go. Yeah, it's, it's called, it's called Heartland Betrayed and it's by a gentleman by the name of Benjamin Roberts. Again, I am not familiar with this, this individual or the organization.
It's, it's called I am 1776. And I like to find a little bit more about it, but I think this is, in my opinion, of the articles I have seen dealing with the issue in Springfield, Ohio, this is the best reporting I've seen.
I think it's very well done. And the, you know, the author obviously spent some time, he was careful in doing his research and, and the, the conclusions he reaches are really devastating for, especially for the, the leadership of Springfield and really also, I think, in the state of Ohio, but also for the, the Roman Catholic Church as well.
Now you can see here, and this is sort of the, the head, the picture at the top of the article. I don't know if you can see this real well here, but this is an older shot of Springfield, Ohio. You can tell it's an older shot because down here on the left, it looks like there's a, a steam, steam locomotive working.
So I don't know, I would say this is back maybe, you know, 30s, 40s, I don't know, maybe even the 50s. You know, small town, small town, you know, Heartland of the United States, you know, right here in, in Ohio.
And, and it, it's being turned into, I guess, kind of a mini version of Port-au-Prince in some ways. And the, so let's, let's go ahead and read through this here. So it's called Heartland Betrayed is the name of the article.
And the date of it is September 28th, 2024. In fact, that was just today, I just realized that. So yeah, this, this is one is, is hot off the presses and I'm going to put a link to this article in, in the show notes because I, it's, it's a little bit of a long-ish article, but if you want to find out what's going on in Springfield, I think this is a great place to start.
Or if you've already maybe read some things on Springfield, I think this will definitely flesh out your understanding of what's going on here. The subtitle here, he says, down the corruption rabbit hole in the ground in Springfield, Ohio.
And let's read through a little bit of the introduction here. Springfield is the archetypal town of the forgotten man. Trump's constant refrain is echoed throughout the rusted beams and derelict barns of this place.
It has one problem, the wrong piece, the wrong people remembered. And those people have come to finish, finish Springfield off once and for all. I didn't come in search of cats and dogs on grills, although I found that too.
I came to learn why the political representative of the American people is determined to replace them with others. It turns out that the explanation is simple. They did it for money, for a feeling of moral superiority, and because it could be done.
Now, that is a very devastating critique right there at the start, that he's saying, the reason this was done is they did it for money, they did it for a feeling of moral superiority, and because it could be done.
And this is one of the things that has just fascinated me and appalled and horrified me at the same time about what's going on, not just here in Ohio, not just here in the United States, but really throughout the entire Western world.
And that is replacement migration. And it's not that these outside places are conquering the United States. Now, Haiti has not conquered the United States militarily. This is being invited, brought to the United States by the government, by the governing authorities of the United States of America.
The Apostle Paul talks about, you know, that the reason we pay taxes is for the government to be able to punish those who practice evil and reward the good. Well, our governments increasingly are punishing those who practice evil, or rather are rewarding those who practice evil and are punishing the good.
You know, they flipped this whole thing right on its head. So, it's 180 degrees the opposite. It's a complete, really, I call it, you know, some people would kind of refer to it as a satanic inversion.
And I think that's a good way of thinking about it. You know, you think about in Isaiah, where, you know, the prophet Isaiah talked about woe to those who put light for darkness and darkness for light, who call good evil and evil good.
And, you know, there were people in his day that were trying to, you know, stand reality on its head and say that darkness was light and that light was darkness. And you see the same type of thing going on in our own time in the West.
You know, Western civilization is a civilization of the Protestant Reformation, and yet it's being completely destroyed. And not because of outside forces, it's being destroyed from within by our own government officials who are inviting this.
And obviously, they would rather, for whatever reason, we can talk about some of the reasons why this is going on. I think ultimately, this is being driven by Antichrist, the papal Antichrist, the Roman Catholic Church Antichrist.
But it's an amazing thing to watch. I would never have thought this could happen, you know, if you'd said to me, yeah, you know, the government of the United States is actually going to try to destroy the people of the United States and replace them.
I would have thought, well, that seems crazy, but it's actually what's going on. It's going on right in front of our faces. And Springfield, Ohio is just one case in point. I mean, this is happening throughout the United States of America.
Our own governor here is certainly no help in dealing with this. In fact, when that story really started to go nuclear a few weeks ago, when it started to really blow up, you know, and around the time that I think it was, what, September 10th or 11th, sometime right around there where Trump and Harris had their debate, you know, the governor of Ohio was out there saying, well, you know, we're going to put more state troopers, you know, to make sure that they're on all these accidents.
And so we're going to have driving schools. I'm going to teach these people how to drive. And so that's really the heart of the matter. That's not the heart of the matter. That's just a symptom. Governor DeWine himself is Roman Catholic.
And I've come to find out that he has had very close ties to Haiti. He and his wife have operated a charity in Haiti for a long time. And maybe that somehow ties into the fact that it's Haitians that are coming to to Ohio.
And it's not just Haitians. There are other many other types of people coming. But there's a large, obviously, a large number of Haitians have come to Ohio. And that may explain some of why that's happening here, particularly in the Buckeye State.
And as I said, you know, Mike DeWine, he's the governor. He's a rhino. He was a guy. He loved lockdowns during COVID. You know, he wanted to lock us down and mask us all up. And if it were up to him, we'd probably still be in lockdown and emergency if he had it his way.
I mean, he loved doing that. He was one of the leaders. Now, he wasn't the worst governor there was, but he wasn't the best either. And he was very, it actually took the Ohio State Legislature to pass a bill and override his gubernatorial veto in order to get Ohio back on path to opening up again.
He wanted to keep us all locked down. He loved that stuff. So that's the kind of guy he is. And when it comes to dealing with Springfield, it seems like his real, I would describe him, he's a manager of decline.
So he wants the whole thing to just be, he wants to just manage it better. He doesn't want to solve the issue. He doesn't want to see the importation of all these people stop. He doesn't want to see them return to Haiti or wherever else it was they came from.
No, he wants to seem to continue. He just doesn't want it blowing up and becoming an embarrassment to him. That's really what's going on here. So he's hoping, you know, if you put some state troopers there, maybe give them Haitian driving lessons that we can just keep on going on the way things are and everything will be great.
That's what Mike DeWine thinks. I think otherwise. And so do a lot of people in Ohio. Certainly a lot of people in Springfield do. So let's read through a little bit more of this here. This is again, this is from Benjamin Roberts.
And he writes here, he continues, my investigation discovered a long rotten beam extending from the mayor down to NGOs, pastors, corporations and local mediocrities looking to make a fast buck. Everyone is on the take.
And Springfield is not an outlier. It is a standard example of local partnerships with federal and corporate resettlement programs working together to profit themselves. The perverse incentive structures of these institutions make them incapable of resisting population replacement.
The citizens are simply not lucrative enough to leave alone. As things stand, nothing will stop without concerted intervention. The charities, churches and city officials in Springfield are alien officials ruling over a subject population.
Robber barons without charisma or mystique fishing for pennies in the sewers they have made of their hometowns. Well, that's a that's a pretty devastating critique. And from what I can tell here, I mean, I think that he's he's spot on with what he says.
Yeah, it's just it's amazing how these institutions, these individuals and the individuals who run them have become just openly hostile to the people that supposedly they represent. And as he says here, this is not going to stop without concerted intervention.
We, the American people, are going to have to stand up. But before even we stand up, what we really need to do is we need to be going to the Lord in prayer. I think that fundamentally what's going on here, this is God's judgment on a spiritually bankrupt nation.
We need to repent. Now, I'm not saying that there aren't Christians out there. I'm not saying that all of us believe that this is is what should go on. But, you know, I think we as Christians really need to take a look at what it is we're doing.
I think one of the problems that we have in the believing Protestant church, I'm not talking about, you know, like the PCUSA, you know, where they're having same sex weddings and this type of thing. I'm talking about in the believing, you know, biblical believing churches.
One of the things we've forgotten about is we have lost the ability to discern Antichrist. I've talked about this many times on this program, and I'm going to continue to talk about it. The Westminster Confession had for, you know, over 250 years identified explicitly the Pope of Rome as that Antichrist, man of sin and son of perdition.
Protestants used to know who Antichrist was. We don't know that anymore. And as a result, since we don't know anymore, and since our minds have been taken captive to a lot of false Jesuit-inspired eschatology, you know, eschatology, study the end times, you know, like Book of Revelation, Book of Daniel, this type of thing.
We always are putting this dispensational sort of construct on what the Bible says, which is in serious error. I'm not saying dispensationalists aren't Christians or can't be Christians, but that itself is a serious error.
It's something to be repented of. It's not something to be held on to. And because we look at the world through these dispensationalist glasses, we cannot see the work of Antichrist, even when it's being done right in front of our noses.
And I would say what's going on in Springfield, Ohio is very clearly the work of the papal Antichrist. That's what's going on here. Unfortunately, we can't see that. And just kind of going through this article a bit here, he talks here about the mayor, this fellow named Rob Rue.
The Springfield mayor, Rob Rue, claims to be helpless against federal directives. He claims he's done his best to talk to those who must be talked to and heard the speakers at City Hall. In truth, his hands are less clean.
As well as serving as the mayor of Springfield, Rob Rue is the owner of Littleton Properties of Springfield LLC, which owns six rental properties in Springfield. Going door to door, I confirmed that at least four of these properties are rented to Haitian migrants.
These tenants are not just nuclear families, but multi-generational households, including anywhere from 10 to 15 people crammed into one half of a duplex. Okay, I've seen multiple reports, not just here, but I've seen this in other reports I've read where they talk about how you can have 15 Haitians living in a one-family dwelling.
And I've also read, and the reporter here, Robertson, is that his name right? Yeah, Roberts, excuse me, Benjamin Roberts. Now, he doesn't say that the mayor's doing this, but this could very well be the case.
And that is that some of these landlords are actually renting, charging these Haitians by the cot. In other words, they'll rent out a single-family dwelling to 15 Haitians and charge each one of those Haitians a rental fee.
And as a result, they're making way more money renting out their duplex or whatever it is that they have, or a house or whatever it is. They're making way more money renting it out to 15 Haitians at a time than they would be if they were renting it out to a single American family.
So, yeah, they're making a lot of money. And apparently, this mayor, he says, oh, I'm doing everything I can to stop this stuff. Well, he's making, you know, I don't know what he's making, but he's probably making this pretty nice bank, renting out properties to Haitians who are really degrading the quality of life in Springfield, Ohio, for his constituents, the people that actually pay his salary.
So, he's getting rich while he's destroying his hometown. That's what appears to be going on here from this article. And I think that that is a despicable thing. You know, that is the abandonment of his responsibility as a mayor.
Again, you know, think about what the Apostle Paul said, you know, the civil magistrate is a minister of God to you for good. Well, how is it good to bring in thousands upon thousands upon thousands of people who do not integrate well with your community, that don't speak the language, don't have your customs, that are on the government dole, and that are putting extreme strains on the local services, while at the same time you get rich?
I mean, how is that serving your constituents? Well, I mean, obviously it's not. In fact, it's doing quite the opposite. It's actually really turning and punishing the people that you're supposed to be serving.
You know, these are the kinds of people, like, it reminds me of what Jesus talked about. He talked about how, you know, the rulers of the Gentiles lorded over them, and those that exercise authority like to be called benefactor.
You know, they like to get up there and talk about what great people they are, why they're destroying your property and degrading your quality of life. Yeah, I really wonder, I mean, I think I mentioned this, maybe it was in a blog post that I wrote, but, you know, there was, I still think about this one lady, I mean, there's lots of video testimony out there of people, Springfield residents, going before the city commission and basically pouring their hearts out because their lives are being destroyed.
Stop this, help us. You know, instead of stopping and helping, the mayor is sitting there, he's getting rich doing this. He's not any help to them. And this one poor woman, she was talking about how she's got people in her front lawn who can't speak English screaming at her.
I guess they're screaming at her in Haitian Creole and she's throwing trash on her lawn and mattresses and things like this. And she and her husband, she said they lived in this house 45 years. And that's the treatment they get, that's the thanks they get, you know, for paying their mortgage, for paying their taxes, for working a job, for doing the things that you're supposed to do as an American.
And this is the thanks you get. This is being administered to these people for good? I think not. And I just, I mean, when I see those kinds of things, when I hear that testimony, and you can hear the pain in these people's voices.
I mean, they're not making this stuff up. And I see it's testimony after testimony after testimony, and the testimonies agree. I mean, that's a biblical test, you know, where you have to have two witnesses, right?
And their testimony needs to agree. Well, I mean, there's way more than two witnesses and their testimonies all agree, you know, that this is a serious problem. And there's absolutely no compassion shown to them at all from city leadership.
Now, who knows, maybe there are some people in city leadership that do. I don't profess to know all of what's going on there. But the overarching response to these people is shut up and go away. That's essentially what they're being told.
In fact, even here in Cincinnati, and this is in the local Cincinnati paper, the Cincinnati Enquirer, there have been a lot of articles in the Cincinnati Enquirer. If you go on, I've got a digital subscription.
And if you go on, because it's behind a paywall, it's a Gannett newspaper. And if you go on to their website, and you just, you know, type into a search term on Springfield, it pulls up, I would say probably about 30 articles, all of which have been written in about the last month.
They've been writing about an article a day, roughly on Springfield. And without going through every single one of these articles, the way I would describe it to you is essentially the editorial stance of the Cincinnati Enquirer is this.
Everything in Springfield is awesome. And those people who are saying that it isn't, well, you know, they're very bad people with very bad motives, and you shouldn't listen to them. That's the Cincinnati Enquirer.
You know, that's what you get. You know, you bring in all these people into Springfield from Haiti, and you tear up the city. And the Cincinnati Enquirer says, oh, well, if you think that's a problem, well, you're a bad person.
Shame on you. Yeah, that's the way our entire, it's not just the government, but you see, I mean, the media is the same way. It's all just like this interconnected blob that just cannot wait to lecture the American people.
You know, the reporter here, Benjamin Roberts, you know, he made this, you know, he said, you know, as to why this goes on. You know, he gave three reasons. He says, for money, you know, like the mayor's on the take with all, you know, making bank off of all these Haitians, for feeling a moral superiority.
And that's the thing that just makes my blood boil. And one of the things that just makes my blood boil about this is the arrogance that I see coming out of the, I say, the politicians, the media, all, you know, businesses, the business community.
You know, there's this one video on there where this guy, there's an employer in Springfield, I think it's called McGregor Metals. It's apparently some kind of machine shop. You know, they manufacture parts, this type of things.
And he talks about, oh, you know, these Haitians are great and they stay at their machines all day. You know, they make their numbers. I guess that is they produce the number of parts they're supposed to produce.
He says, well, this is a much better change from what we've been used to around here. You know, we've got all these drug addicts and, you know, just all these lazy American workers are good for nothing.
You know, I want even more Haitians in here. I want 30 more of them, he says. And, you know, so, I mean, even the businesses are disparaging American workers. And it's not just that particular business.
You see this all the time. You know, you see this from a lot of businesses. They talk about, well, there just aren't enough skilled Americans to do this work. That's why we've got to bring all these people in from, you know, the other side of the planet.
Well, that's a lot of nonsense. I think one of the big reasons it drives that is money, because they can bring these Haitians in here. And my guess is they can work for a lot less probably than what the Americans do.
In fact, I saw a post on X a couple of weeks back where somebody who, reading through the post, he seemed to have some knowledge of it. He was talking about, you know, where he worked. So apparently he worked in a manufacturing plant of some sort.
And he said that what his company had been doing, I don't know if he still worked there, but he said what this company that he knew about was doing was, you know, they had to pay Americans $16 or something an hour plus, you know, health benefits.
And I don't know, maybe they had some kind of retirement program. You know, in other words, it wasn't just a job, you know, but they had to treat them as actual employees, you know, with benefits on top of their salary.
And they were getting rid of, you know, the Americans and they were bringing in all these temporaries, you know, who were Haitians or maybe they were even other nationalities whom they could pay less.
You know, so you can bring in a temporary and you don't have to worry about paying for health benefits. You don't have to worry about setting up a 401k plan, these types of things. You can bring people in, you can pay them rock bottom wages.
And, you know, apparently they think that that's, they do an adequate job. Yeah. And then they go out and they disparage the American workers on top of that, at least this fellow at McGregor Metals did.
And that just, that burns me up too. I get tired of hearing that as though somehow, you know, all of these people from every other place in the world, they're just awesome beyond belief. And the Americans, well, you people are just a bunch of lazy entitled good for nothings.
So, I mean, you get it from the politicians, you get it from the newspapers, you get it from the businesses. They're all united in this one idea. And that is if you're an American, you're a very bad person and you deserve to be punished.
You deserve all the bad stuff happening to you. And that all ties into that sense of moral superiority and money as well. And I think it's a disgusting and toxic mix. And I'm tired of hearing about it.
I'm tired of the lectures. Let's see here. So that was on the mayor. And I'm not going to read through all of this because I can say it's a fairly long article. And again, I highly recommend that you take, it's well worth your time to read through it.
Very much worth it. But I want to spot, go through, just check on a few things here. One of the things that really came out in this article is how much the leadership of Springfield did not want to talk to this reporter.
They didn't want to explain themselves. I mean, they ran like cockroaches when you turn the light on or something. It talks about City Hall and the police. The first night I spent in Springfield, City Hall hosted a public listening forum.
Little did we know this would be the last one for a long time. City Hall was soon locked down, not only because of bomb threats, which were later revealed to be hoaxes. Early in the evening, police barred new entrance into the forum.
This occurred well before the session was adjourned, and local residents told me it was highly unusual. It was already clear that government officials were battening down the hatches and hiding from the people who pay their salaries.
Yeah, that's one of the things that's so disgusting about this type of thing is that, you know, you as a taxpayer, well, you better fork over those taxes, buddy. You better pay those taxes. You better pay them to the last penny.
You better pay them on time or you're going to be in a lot of trouble. We're going to put a lien on your property. Yeah, so I mean, you know, you got to toe that line. But when the politicians create this situation where the town is being destroyed, well, they don't want to have to answer to you.
We don't have to talk to you. Yeah, it's amazing. I mean, this is called lording it over the people. This is exactly the type of thing Jesus talked about. They are lording it over the mayor, the city council, police.
They are lording it over the people of Springfield. Let's see here. Responding to the public forum in City Hall's lockdown, a local woman said, quote, they're scared of physical unrest and that shows how little they know their constituents.
Look at me. I'm not looking for a fight. I want them to govern for the concerns of the citizens. Wow, that's a really radical idea. This woman actually has the gall to think that her government representatives are supposed to govern for the benefit of the people of Springfield.
I mean, what a crazy idea, right? That's just nuts. I want a task force and they have one, but it's only for the Haitians, end quote. Another resident expressed his frustration of being ignored and rebuffed.
Quote, my security camera kept going off at 3 a .m. in the morning every morning. One night I saw three big transport vans full of Haitians dropping them off in the middle of town. Why are they doing it in the dead of night if it's up if it's on the up and up?
Why can't we get any answers? They're saying we're 20 ,000 Haitians now, but I don't buy that. We're at 30 to 35 ,000 at least, end quote. Now, I don't know if it's 30 to 35 ,000. I mean, certainly this resident, it certainly appears, and I don't have a timeframe here, but he talks about these big transport vans full of Haitians being dropped off in the middle of town at 3 a .m.
Yeah, if what they're doing is on the up and up, why are they doing it under the cover of darkness? Well, obviously it's not on the up and up. And, you know, again, this paragraph doesn't give a timeframe of when this resident said these buses were coming in.
But I mean, it's entirely possible that these people are still being brought into Springfield for all I know. Or if they're not being brought in Springfield, maybe they're being brought into a town near you.
Now, I saw where there was a town in Alabama that is getting hit with busloads of Haitians, apparently, something like 1 ,000 I heard. There's also a place, it was like Tunkhannock or something, I don't know if I'm saying that name right, in Pennsylvania that's also having a huge influx of Haitians.
And who knows, you know, there could be other towns, and I'm sure there are other towns in the United States as well that are getting the same lovely treatment. The author here, he goes on, he says, people who I spoke to weren't expecting the mayor or the manager to simply wave a magic wand and make the problem go away, but they wanted their representatives to actually represent them by speaking to the people above them, who they could not speak to and bring them the answers that they could not get.
Now, here's really, at least for me, this was kind of the heart of this piece, or the most interesting portion of it, and it's under the heading of churches. And the local government may actually be the least compromised of all the bad actors operating in Springfield.
The churches, entrusted to care for their neighbors, have decided to interpret this edict by siding with the recent arrivals. An example is the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, a Catholic voluntary organization which issued a press release in response to citizen backlash against their role in the migrant crisis, which they acknowledged that, quote, SVDP, that's abbreviation for St. Vincent de Paul, excuse me, SVDP volunteers and interpreter navigators assist these neighbors, in brackets migrants, with tools for independent living.
SVDP conducts legal pro bono immigration clinics. Whenever possible, SVDP navigators help patients seek waivers of application fees. Meanwhile, a new epidemic of homelessness is emerging as a result of skyrocketing rents, rapacious landlord behavior and general impoverishment.
There are plenty of grandmothers in Springfield who could use a navigator at the DMV, and poor Americans who could use a fee waiver or pro bono legal assistance, but SVDP has different priorities. Yes, they do.
Yeah, they do. This is the Roman church state. This is the antichrist Roman church state that is working overtime to destroy the United States of America. That is their job. That's like the number one thing on their mind.
I think they're wise to do evil, but how to do good, they have no knowledge. I think that's from Jeremiah, and the Lord was speaking about his people, the people of Judah. And the same thing can be said for the people of St. Francis, the society of St. Francis de Paul.
They're wise to do evil, but to do good, they have no knowledge. And they show themselves for what they are. I mean, they're an arm of antichrist. They're a representative of the papal antichrist. And let's see, he continues, although I was able to make contact with Catholic Charities of Southwestern Ohio's Springfield office, they also state on their website, they cooperate with the federal government to resettle migrants and provide special services to them.
Quote, the U .S. Copts of Catholic Bishops, USCCB, and their affiliates are guided by the U .S. Department of State to provide resettlement services, end quote. After looking into these kinds of resettlement partnerships in more detail, I uncovered a startling network.
The intertwining of faith organizations in federal and local government is hidden in plain sight. Partnerships are publicized, and many are proud of the work that I do. So, yeah, so we have a sort of private-public partnership.
Now, of course, the politically incorrect term for a public-private partnership, that's the sanitized version, that's the sort of the rated G version, but the correct term for that, the real term for public-private partnerships is fascism.
And, of course, the Roman Church State, their politics and the economics of the Roman Church State is principally fascist. That's one of the things that John Robbins talked about in his book, Ecclesiastical Megalomania.
And the author here, he continues talking about this outfit called the Nehemiah Foundation. Now, I looked up the Nehemiah Foundation, and it's hard to see what it is. It almost looks like it's some kind of maybe like liberal, maybe sort of Protestant-y, evangelical-y kind of an organization.
It doesn't really say. He's got a link to the website, but it doesn't really say what their church affiliation is. They were founded in 1985. But interestingly enough, this Nehemiah Foundation, whatever its denominational or church association is, it says it also maintains collaborative relationships with the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, among others.
So, I mean, even if itself, even if the Nehemiah Foundation is not itself a Roman Catholic organization, let's suppose it's a corrupt, liberal, Protestant to name only, a Pino. I guess, yeah, if a Republican name only is a rhino, I guess a Pino would be what, is that what, a Protestant to name only?
Maybe I'll point a new term, a Pino. But whether it's, like I say, maybe it is some sort of evangelical Protestant organization. There are lots of corrupt Protestant organizations that also participate in the immigrant invasion of the United States of America, the irredentist immigration invasion of the United States of America.
There are lots of these Protestant organizations that do this. The Roman Catholic Church is not the only organization. Catholic Charities is not the only organization. I highlight the role of the Catholic Church because they are the lead organization.
They are, in the words of, this was someone from the Heritage Foundation, which is a major conservative think tank in Washington. This individual, he called the Roman Catholic Church the 800-pound gorilla in the room of the immigration invasion.
They were kind of like the taking lead on this. And that's true. And that's one of the things that I've been talking about for years, both on my blog and on the podcast. But they're not alone. There are other organizations.
I say there are corrupt Protestant organizations. There are Jewish organizations involved. The Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, HIAS, is another major player in facilitating the invasion of the United States of America.
And in fact, the Department of Homeland Security head, Alejandro Mayorkas, he is Jewish. And he was associated with the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society before taking his position as DHS head. I don't remember, I don't know if he was on the board or if he was president, but he was in some very high role.
I don't have the reference right now. But I mean, let's just say he was very high up in that organization. Interestingly enough, too, even though he's Jewish, he actually got his law degree from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles.
That's where he went to law school. So he went to law school with the Jesuits. It's kind of an interesting combination there that he brings to the table. One of the things here about this Nehemiah group is apparently they claim they do a lot of, they teach Haitians English.
But in addition to teaching Haitians English, Roberts notes here, he says, I'm quoting here from the piece, quote, they also promote BLM-inspired Juneteenth activities and introduce them, that is, they introduce the Haitians to DEI, anti-racist ideological propaganda.
For example, in a Nehemiah-promoted book, we find the following, quote, the focus and support of the mantra of Black Lives Matter is legitimately born out of tragedy. The racial conflict in America rose to a whole new level with the very public murder of George Floyd.
His death, brought about by the white police officer kneeling on his neck, was filmed on a cell phone for the world to see. Like fireworks exploding on the 4th of July, this watershed event was a proverbial straw that broke the camel's back as black, white and brown people took to the streets in protest, end quote.
The Nehemiah Foundation is teaching the Haitian arrivals that the country hates them and that white people want to murder them. At the same time, they teach them English. What type of citizens and with what politics will these Haitians turn out to be?
Well, I think we know the answer to those questions. You know, they're going to, they're already being indoctrinated against the American people and they're going to turn out to be a bunch of liberal left wing, reliably Democrat voting individuals.
I mean, essentially what the Democrat Party is doing, which is the party I've said many times, the party of Rum Romanism and Rebellion. You know, the Democrat Party is the principal channel through which the Roman Catholic Church has injected political Romanism into the American body politic.
And yeah, they're going to be reliable Democrat voters. They're going to vote for socialism. You know, they're brought here to cast the votes that Americans won't cast. You know, a lot of times, sometimes when you hear some of these businesses, you know, say, well, why do you have to bring in all these aliens?
And they say, well, they do the jobs that Americans won't do. Well, in this case, they need these people not only to do the jobs that quote Americans won't do, but also to cast the votes that Americans won't cast.
You know, Americans won't vote for socialism in large enough numbers to satisfy the Jesuits and the Romanists and all the people that want to destroy the remaining economic and political liberties we have.
So they have to bring in foreigners to accelerate the process. And that seems to be what's going on here. Oh, let's see here. So, yeah. So you've got, you know, he talks about the Catholic Charities. Let's go out to that website for Catholic Charities and see here.
Oh, yeah. Where does Catholic Charities fit into the resettlement process? Here we go. Individuals granted refugee status overseas by the Bureau of Population, Refugee and Migration and U .S. Department of Homeland Security are admitted to the U .S. for resettlement.
National voluntary resettlement agencies such as the U .S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and their affiliates are guided by the U .S. Department of State to provide resettlement services and will help refugees gain self-sufficiency as quickly as possible after arrival in the United States.
As an affiliate of U .S. CCB, newly arrived refugees in Cincinnati receive supportive services from Catholic Charities Refugee Resettlement Program. This includes placement in initial furnished housing, cultural orientation, English as a second language employment assistance, connection to initial health screens and health care services.
So, yes, they, you know, the Catholic Charities right here in River City helps all these foreigners to your tax dollars. So, you know, you're paying your taxes to help resettle all of these supposed refugees, which really aren't refugees.
But the Catholic Church seems to think they're entitled to your money. So, yeah, that's how Rome rolled. Great people. Let's take a look here. Let's see. He's got some things on NGOs. NGOs, that's short for non-governmental organization.
Catholic Charities is a non-governmental organization, for example. And in fact, he's talking here to this guy named David Smitty, executive director of Water Literacy Center. And there's some back and forth here.
And this David, David Smitty, let's see, he says, we work with Catholic social services. Also, there's a special class we have for them. But not everybody wants to learn English, even when you're here.
So, yeah, so this organization, they work with Catholic social services. Yeah, interestingly enough, I have a friend of mine, I'll just say he's somebody that I know, and he's a source. I'm not going to say any more than that.
But he told me, you know, something interesting about Catholic social services. He's in a position to know about this. I'll just say it this way. But what he says is that people, that there's a lot of shady stuff that Catholic social services does.
But he says that officials don't really do anything about it. He's talking about the cops in this particular case. The police don't do anything about it because most of the police are Roman Catholic. I thought that was a very interesting comment.
Let's see. Oh, so in this Water Literacy Center, they have a St. Vincent de Paul flyer hanging there. District Council of Springfield Society to St. Vincent de Paul. Provide regular program updates to St. Vincent de Paul Board and Trustees Board.
Trustees will request a monthly report and patient registration services, blah, blah, blah. So yeah, so this literacy organization also works very closely with St. Francis de Paul. I keep wanting to call it St. Francis, St. Vincent de Paul.
There, got to get my Roman Catholic saint straight here, I guess. Let's see. And anyway, the article, one of the things that's interesting here is it talks about this outfit called First Diversity Staffing.
So I guess this is a, yeah, this sounds like a really pro-American sort of a staffing agency. But apparently it's this, oh, I guess it's a, well, a temporary agency is what it is. It's owned by this guy named George Ten.
And it says that this First Diversity Staffing places Haitians in jobs. And let's see, as I know, it talked in here in some place where they actually went out and basically recruited and brought Haitians in.
Let's see here. I'll just read through this paragraph. First Diversity Staffing, owned by George Ten, also the president, places Haitians in jobs. FDS is a temp and staffing agency which gained notoriety among locals for being the epicenter of the Haitian expansion in Springfield.
It was FDS which placed Haitians in the factories of Ross McGregor, the business owner from this viral video. In fact, yeah, let's go take a look at this video. Hopefully you can hear the sound. I played a video last, in my last podcast and somebody, one of my friends said that she couldn't hear it.
But let's, let's see. Hopefully this will, this will come through here. I'm going to go ahead and try to turn this on. Hopefully it won't blow anybody. I'm going to turn the sound down a little bit. Hopefully in case the sound level is too high.
It's too high here. So let's see. Okay. So it's playing, it's coming through on the video. It's not coming through on my podcast recorder for some reason. I'm not sure why that is, but he's talking about, you know, this fellow, he's talking about how great the, you know, the Haitians are, you know, our Haitian associates come to work every day.
They don't have a drug problem. They stay with their machines. They're here to work. And that's a stark difference from what we're used to in our community. So that's kind of a summary of, of what this gentleman says in this, this roughly 30 second video.
And apparently this has gone, gone kind of viral as well as it should. You know, and I said, you know, I mentioned before, and this was what I was referring to about how, you know, so oftentimes you hear these, these almost, these hectoring, lecturing kinds of comments from American businessmen who, you know, they, they, they want to just tell you if you, if you're just some, some schmuck of an American businessman.
And somehow you're, you're just kind of a, kind of a lazy, no good Nick. And we need to import all these awesome people from, from, from overseas. Let's see here. He says, I'm going to go back to the article.
It says first diversity, not only staffs, the Haitians, but brings them from all over the country and slots them into the 10 ecosystem. The 10s, again, that's, this guy's name is 10, like the number 10.
The 10s talking about the multiple family members that, that run this agency, the 10s run the shuttle service that charges $20 a head each way in ferries to Haitians. They pulled into the town to jobs, FDS placed them in back to FDF, FDS headquarters, and eventually to one of the over 48 rental properties owned by 10 enterprises, LLC, between 2021 and 2023, 10 enterprises brought all 48, bought all 48 properties for approximately $2 ,665 ,040.
Coincidentally, this was the exact time period during which the TPS that's temporary protected status program exploded under the Biden Harris regime. I knocked on many of 10s doors and talked to the people living there.
The majority were Haitians crammed into tiny duplexes, but some were Latino migrants from Nicaragua, Venezuela, possibly resettled under the CHNV program. Okay. So the CHNV program, that's, that's, that stands for Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
It's a special program that allows people in these, people in these countries to go on to that, that app, special app that the, the Biden regime has set up and they can make an asylum application and they can get on a big old jet airplane.
And presumably their, their tickets paid for by you and me, the US taxpayer, and they fly them into the country. And when they fly them into the country, what they do is they are, they are granted parole.
And what that means is, okay, so these are people that say, oh, oh, we're, we're, we're, you know, we're being persecuted in our home countries. We want to apply for asylum. So they bring them in, but then they give them like a court date that's about two years out and they parole them.
In the meantime, between the time they came in and the time of their court date, they are entitled to the full panoply of the American welfare state. Because they're asylum seekers, even though a judge hasn't ruled on their asylum status, I guess apparently they're presumed to be, be actually real asylum seekers.
And so they get showered with fabulous cash and prizes that you and I get to pay for. And the Roberts, Benjamin Roberts, he goes on here, he says, import them, transport them, employ them, house them.
Considerable money can be made for participating in resettlement and facilitate, facilitation schemes for Haitian migrants. And the 10 seem to have reaped quite a bit of it. So yeah, they've got, they really got it going up there.
Again, you know, I think they're probably making some serious bank, but you know, the people of Springfield, probably not so much. Um, so anyway, that's, that's a good deal of it. And I think that I'm going to just read the last paragraph here, this, this article for you says a religious local business, religious local business and social elites feel no solidarity for American citizens.
I think that's pretty obvious. Yeah. Yeah. I agree. At best, they're an afterthought and at worst, they're an enemy. Moral value is actually extracted from worsening that a lot and blotting out their memory.
So yeah, so they can say, oh, look at all, look how wonderful we are. We're diversifying America with all these awesome people that are coming over here and they're way better than the Americans and, and they work harder and they're better people and we're going to give them everything they need to succeed.
And, oh, oh, you mean what, what do you, Mr. And Mrs. America? Oh, you mean, you mean you're hurting? We don't care. Get out of here. We're not going to talk to you. You know, they give you the back of the hand, you know, just, you know, slap you upside the head and, you know, get out of here.
Um, that's, that, that's our government. That's the way things are right now, uh, in, uh, the good old United States of America. Um, he continues here. Moral value is actually extracted from worsening that a lot and blotting out their memory, but Americans are the last people who will lie down and accept this.
Well, I hope that's true. Uh, although right now, to this point, we actually have been accepting it and this needs to change. We, we need to repent of our sins, of our intellectual laziness, of our cowardice.
Uh, those of us who are Christians and we need to stand up and we need to speak the truth and we can't be afraid. Yeah. I'm boring. You know, you're, you're going to be told you're a very bad person. You're just like one of those bad people up in Springfield.
You know, you're, you're saying bad things and, oh, you know, you're, you're in a lot of trouble. You know, you won't tow the corporate line. Well, um, the tour, the, the, the corporate line needs to be broken.
Um, this stuff cannot continue. We're going to lose a country. Uh, I mean, you know, a lot of times you hear people talk about, uh, you know, they use the term an existential threat. Well, you know, that, that word gets used a lot.
And, uh, I'm not even always sure people really realize what that means. You're talking about an existential threat. When you say something is existential, it's related to your existence. When something is an existential threat, that's a threat that could very well end your existence.
Um, if we say it's an existential threat to the United States, well, it's, it's a threat to the existence of the United States of America is a growing concern. And this stuff that's going on with, with all this immigration.
And again, I'm just using Springfield as an example. This is not, this is going on all over the country. I'm just using Springfield, Ohio, as an example. It's very close to me. You know, if this stuff goes on, this is the end of the United States.
We're done. I mean, if we sit back and allow it to happen, we are done. And if we sit back and allow it to happen, you know, don't we kind of deserve it? I mean, I don't want to say that. I don't like to talk that way, but I mean, I say this seriously to my fellow Americans, but especially to those, to my, my brothers and sisters in Christ, we cannot sit back and allow this to go on.
This is evil and we need to point this out. We have government officials that are doing the exact opposite thing of what they are supposed to be doing. And they need to repent and they need to be shown, they need to be made very, and we need to make very clear to them that what they're doing is immoral.
It is unchristian. It is unbiblical. It is unconstitutional. It is immoral. This stuff needs to stop. It cannot be allowed to go on. It's either, it's, you know, it's like that saying, you know, do or die.
I mean, we're really kind of at that stage right now where it's do or die for the United States of America. Either we stand up or we are history. I don't know any, I don't know what else to say about it.
So anyway, that's, I was going to do some other things, but I've been going on here for what, almost an hour here. So maybe that's a good place to close it here. And again, I'm going to put this article, I'm going to put it in the, the, the show notes.
So take it if you can, you know, I would strongly recommend taking some time to clicking on that link and going through this and read it for yourself and see what you think. So anyway, that's enough for this week.
I wish you all a blessed Lord's day tomorrow. And until the next time we, next time I'm back on here, may the spirit of truth guide you in all truth as you read and study God's word.
