RRW Weekly roundup for week ending October 30th, 2015

Before I give you the three top posts this past week, I would like to respond to a reader who asked what more could she do.  It has been a while since I mentioned my big nag—write a state or local blog on what you learn about refugee resettlement and any other migration (including illegal!) going on where you live.  A facebook page is o.k. but it’s hard for someone a year later to find documents you have unearthed.

Use our free speech while we still have it!

Researching the material and writing a free blog (or a website) from the comfort of your home is very easy and then others who come along later can benefit from what you have learned, from the facts you have gathered.  Also, take pleasure in knowing that those who are seeking to change America with mass migration (like those running that Washington DC pow-wow I wrote about on Friday) have operated with such secrecy for years that they will be furious when exposed as more and more Americans catch on—-help your friends and neighbors understand what is happening to us (and the whole western world)!
With the facts that you provide, I’m hopeful that citizens who love America will then pressure elected officials at all levels of government to pull back from the edge, from the edge of destruction of Western Civilization.  It is that important.
Here then are the Top Three Posts bringing readers to RRW this past week.   Top daily posts are in the right hand side bar.

Top Three Posts:

1)Sweden: Ungrateful ‘refugees’ refuse housing in a beautiful wooded location….

2)Paul Ryan speakership campaign reveals traitors in our midst (South Carolina and Idaho pay attention)

3)Gatestone: Sweden close to collapse

I have been predicting for years that Sweden would be the first European country to collapse under the weight of mass migration, but I didn’t expect to see the crisis accelerate so quickly. It is impossible for a welfare state, like Sweden, to absorb tens of thousands of needy third worlders year after year and survive.
Here are the Top Ten Countries from which readers arrived at RRW this past week (excluding the US of course).

Top Ten Countries:

Canada

UK

Australia

Germany

Sweden

Netherlands

Czech Republic

Norway

France

South Africa

For new and old readers:

I apologize as always for not being able to read all of your e-mails or get to all of your phone calls.  It is just me here.
You might try finding your answers at our relatively new—Frequently Asked Questions (linked above in the header).
I very much appreciate all of your requests for me to speak to your groups, but I am not taking any more speaking trips for the foreseeable future mostly because I believe my strength is in researching and reporting the news while traveling gobbles up enormous amounts of my time.
Go here to a previous weekly round-up for more tips on getting the most out of your visits to RRW.  We have over 7,000 posts archived here so you might need some guidance in finding useful information.
Follow me on twitter because there is so much breaking news on refugees that I can’t possibly post it all! So please follow me on twitter or follow the twitter feeds in my right hand sidebar to keep up with the news!  I am @RefugeeWatcher, click here.  I’m posting articles there that readers send me, but that I simply can’t post for lack of time.
P.S. I’m going to try (again!) to write shorter posts so that I can get more posted each day as the subject of mass migration is exploding worldwide.

RRW Weekly roundup for week ending October 24, 2015

I’m off this morning to a conference in the Washington, DC area, so not much time to bring you news today.
I can’t emphasize enough that Rep. Paul Ryan will be a disaster for all of us concerned with mass migration—legal and illegal.  See my post from Friday, here, and please continue calling your Republican Members of Congress tomorrow.  We really are surrounded with those who want to change America by changing the people on the Left and then the big money interests on the Right who want to import cheap labor and those Washington elitists (the ruling class!) who put holding the Republican Party together before the good of the average patriotic American citizen.  The end result (from both sides) will be the decimation of the middle class.

Here are our Top Three Posts of the week (Top Daily Posts are in the right hand side bar):

(Numbers 2 and 3 are older posts that readers picked up and sent out through social media.)

1)Gatestone: Sweden close to collapse

2)List of ORR “preferred” communities has some additions

3)So where might those Syrians be going?

#3 is almost a year old and since we posted it, we have a newer map.  See it here.  And, we have also identified those towns and cities already receiving (being “seeded” with) Syrians, here.  Those will surely be getting more as the fiscal year progresses.

Top Ten Countries (excluding the US from which we received readers this past week):

Canada

UK

Australia

Germany

Japan (may be the first time Japan breaks into the top ten)

Sweden

Netherlands

Norway

France

South Africa

And, I am mentioning #11 because it is such a surprise—-Slovenia! Welcome!

RRW Weekly roundup for week ending October 17, 2015

Wow! We had a new record-breaking day this past week (Friday).  Someone picked up an older post of ours and ran with it on social media (who knows why!).
Of course that post is the Number One post listed below.
But, before I get to that, I want to urge all of you to visit my Frequently Asked Questions now linked above in our header (I added this morning’s post on ‘following the money’ there as well).  I think you will find lots of information at the FAQS (faster than trying to get it from me via e-mail).  Sorry, I just can’t keep up with all of your e-mails and phone calls.

Top Three Posts of the week (Top Daily Posts are in the right hand side bar):

1)List of ORR “preferred” communities has some additions

RRW Weekly roundup for week ending October 10, 2015

I’m going to do this quickly because there is so much more juicy news to get to this morning.
***Update*** There is so much breaking news on refugees that I can’t possibly post it all! So please follow me on twitter or follow the twitter feeds in my right hand sidebar to keep up with the news!  I am @RefugeeWatcher, click here.
If you didn’t see my Frequently Asked Questions post this week, please see it here (I’ve added it as a page under our header). There is information there about media requests and speaking invitations.
The For New Readers section below is a repeat because we get new readers every day!  If you read that section below and the FAQs (mentioned above), I think many of your questions for me will be answered.
Here are the Top Three Posts of the last week.  Top Daily Posts are in the right hand sidebar.

1)World Relief targeting Northern Idaho for refugee resettlement!

2)Connecticut Senator Blumenthal wants more Syrians here faster, proposes to eliminate some screening

3)Update: Who was that man over Senator Blumenthal’s left shoulder?

Top ten countries from which we received readers (excluding the US):

Canada

UK

Australia

Germany

Norway

Netherlands

EU (again I don’t know what they mean by this since individual European Union countries are listed)

France

Austria

Sweden

For new readers!

Since we get new readers every day, here is my usual spiel with two points I need to continue to make:
First, we do screen our comments (sometimes I don’t get to them right away!) and I don’t post any that threaten any kind of violence or ones filled with foul language.  An occasional expletive might slip in if the comment is otherwise a good one.  You are always free to disagree with our point of view if you follow those two simple rules.

And the other thing I want to mention is about e-mails that come to you every time we post.  They come directly from wordpress to subscribers.  We don’t send out e-mails.  So, if we are posting too much for your e-mail inbox, then just unsubscribe and visit RRW when you have the time I understand completely about too many e-mails!  You might want to simply follow us on twitter or on facebook (below).
This is where you can find information (in addition to our fact sheet). We have over 7,000 posts.

*  See our categories (left hand sidebar, now a drop-down)

*  Also, we have a great search function and since the categories do not go all the way back to our first posts more than eight years ago, use the search window with a few key words.  You might want to first try your city, state, or country to see what we have reported from there over the years.

Readers from Europe should search for key words ‘Invasion of Europe’ for all of our many posts on the migration crisis on the Continent.

By the way, our category entitled ‘where to find information’ is filled with reports and documents, but with 390 posts archived there, it is pretty unwieldy now.
Past weekly roundups can be found in our category entitled ‘blogging.’
If you wish to be notified when we post, consider subscribing or follow us on twitter (@refugeewatcher) or facebook (RefugeeInfoResource).  ‘Like us’ on facebook! (We are no longer posting every story we write at RRW to facebook so as not to overload your facebook feed either.)  We also have some content on facebook that isn’t posted here first, so like us and follow us (I do have a volunteer helper at facebook—Kelly Monroe Kullberg).
I’m trying to be better about tweeting, so please follow me!  I’ve even begun displaying my twitter feed in the right hand side bar here at RRW.
And apologies to all who e-mail and comment, sorry if I don’t respond much, there are just not enough hours in my day!
Thanks to all of you for following RRW.  The subject is on fire (maybe you have noticed)!

FAQs! Finding stuff!

Because it is just me here (no staff, no interns), I’m going a bit crazy trying to keep up with your e-mail and phone requests.  So, I decided to put a little time into listing the usual questions I get and put answers here (in one place).
(There is no particular order to the following frequently asked questions):

How do I find out if my town is targeted?

You won’t get much of a warning.  If you hear a rumor (like the Idaho one we posted here), follow it up (and let us know!). Also be sure to see this map, click here, and this handy list, click here.  If you are within a hundred miles of  any of those resettlement offices, your town is fair game.  The legend on the map lists abbreviations of the nine major federal resettlement agencies.  BTW, they are running out of ‘welcoming’ places to resettle refugees so they are out scouting for fresh territory.

Who are the nine federal resettlement agencies choosing sites for refugee resettlement?

The nine VOLAGs are listed here.  VOLAG stands for Voluntary Agencies which is a joke because they are largely paid by the US taxpayer to do the resettlement.

What do I need to know if I do learn that refugees are planned for my town?

See this post we wrote some months ago, ‘Ten things your town needs to know.’

Where do I start to learn how the Refugee Admissions Program works?

Start with our fact sheet (sorry it is two years old, we need to work on updating it, but it is still useful).  I find the Annual Reports to Congress very very useful.  We also have a category with hundreds of posts in it entitled, ‘where to find information.’  Serious students of refugee resettlement should periodically scroll through it.

Your state refugee coordinator is listed here.

Also, I urge you to just follow my blog postings for awhile and you will learn as you go.  I try hard to link back to previous information every day.

You are always talking about doing data base research, where do I do that?

Go to the Refugee Processing Center, here and/or here and just play around with the data bases available.  I can’t explain exactly how to pull up all the information, but you will figure it out if you spend a little time exploring them.

How do I follow the money?

Go here and follow the links.

I need information on ______, what do you know about it?

We have a very good search function here at this wordpress blog.  Please type a few key words into our search window in the upper left hand corner.  Since we are now over 7,000 posts, I use it all the time to see what I know about a certain subject or resettlement location.  Please search here at RRW.  LOL! You probably will find plenty of information faster than e-mailing me with your question!

How do I find a ‘Pocket of Resistance’ near me? 

Contact Jim Simpson, resettlementresister@gmail.com.  Learn more about Jim here.

How do I get your book?

You can purchase it on Amazon, or go here to the Center for Security Policy where there is a free version to download.

Would you sign me up to get your post notifications?

WordPress doesn’t allow me to sign you up.  You need to follow directions to subscribe.  Or, if you want to see everything I post on your twitter feed, follow me on twitter.  I also have a facebook page but with the help of Kelly we post some other things there, and not all of my RRW posts.  If you don’t want your inbox filled with notifications, just visit RRW daily and scroll back through what I’ve posted during the day.

Do you take donations?

No, this is my charitable work. I do not make money writing this blog.  I may explore putting some advertisements on RRW in the future, but I’m usually too busy to research what I need to do to make that happen.

Can I interview you on my radio show?

I do some radio interviews, but honestly I think I am missing requests (and do apologize), but it is because my e-mail inbox is so full I miss them.   Please put very clearly in the subject line something like:  ‘MEDIA REQUEST’.  That goes for reporters too wanting interviews or questions answered.

If you have sent me a media request and have not heard back, please resend with ‘MEDIA REQUEST’ clearly in the subject line.

Will you speak to my group in _____?

I have been to lots of places this year to speak and have met some very wonderful people (South Carolina, Missouri, Texas, Minnesota, Iowa, and Tennessee), but honestly I am not a speaker and it is very stressful to travel and speak.  And, when I travel I don’t get much blogging done, which I think is more important for the overall cause.  So I am not planning on taking any more trips (other than those I previously committed to that are fairly close to home).

If you contact me, I will be giving you the names of a couple of people knowledgeable about the Refugee Admissions Program that might be willing to travel (but be prepared to pay expenses and an honorarium, we don’t have the money in our movement as the other side has!).

Oh, and I am doing a couple of skype meetings coming up soon.

That is all for now.  Again, sorry I can’t get to all of your e-mails (at least a hundred a day).  I hope this helps.  I’ll be re-posting it from time to time, or adding new information as needed.
