RRW Weekly roundup for week ending August 29, 2015

08/29/2015 ~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

As you probably have gathered, I’ve been away. Am back now and trying to get a handle on so much news that happened while I was out of the country. I was able to sneak in a few minutes to post in the last ten days, as you’ve seen, and am frankly surprised to see that our readership did not drop off while posting was light.
I see my first youtube is over 1.3 million views, and my second one (about the 65,000 Syrians the UN and its operatives want to plant in America) is incorporated into a petition at GoPetition. To learn more, please visit my earlier post this morning and consider signing it!

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

1.Somali day care fraud cases piling up in Minnesota

2. Our still very popular fact sheet, here.

3. Is there a plan to resettle Somali refugees in St. Maries, Idaho? How does one find out?

Here are the Top Ten Countries from which readers arrived at RRW this week (excluding the US):

Canada

Australia

Germany

Sweden

Finland

France

Norway

EU (don’t ask me why wordpress is now counting EU visitors as somehow separate from the individual countries)

Netherlands

For New Readers: In many previous weekly roundups, we have given further information on how to get the most out of your visits to RRW. For the sake of time (there is so much happening I need to get posted), go here and scroll down to the new reader information.

Away message (maybe)

Update August 23rd: Yippee have found internet connections good, so am able to post a bit when I find a few free minutes.
I’m traveling again today. This time it will be out of the country. Not sure what I will find in terms of internet access. I’m hopeful I will be able to continue to post because there is so much happening right now.
However, this might be the last day you hear from me until August 28th or 29th.
That means that your comments won’t be posted until I get back.
If you are arriving here for the first time, or are a regular visitor who might not have ever looked around, just use our search function by typing in key words. I think you will be amazed at what is here in over 6,000 posts and eight years of blogging history. You might learn some things that happened right where you live, but had never heard about, so try it!

Last minute urgent update!

We have learned that Asst. Secretary of State for Population, Refugees and Migration Anne Richard is headed to Spartanburg, SC next week to address community concerns in that Pocket of Resistance. She will be there August 24 and 25. This is a big deal PR move for the State Department. Contact Christina Jeffrey at christininakfjeffrey@gmail.com for more information!
Or, find her on facebook, here.

RRW weekly roundup for week ending August 15, 2015

Ah well, late again.
For new readers, every week we try to let everyone know which posts were our Top Three most-read posts of the previous week and use the opportunity to fill you in on other news we want to share.
Before I get to the three top posts, we want to let you know that ‘Pockets of Resistance (POR)’ are mushrooming (see my earlier post this morning for instance). Some of you may hear from (or have already heard from) Jim Simpson who is working to connect grassroots activists. Jim reports that he has now identified citizens concerned about the colonization of their communities in 24 states! It is not too late to get in on the action!
Go here and sign up (Center for Security Policy) to be included in the new network.
To all of you reaching out to me to find out what you can do, remember, I’m a blogger and have no organization (no staff etc) behind me. I love my charitable work of researching and simply reporting the news and educating you on this increasingly hot topic! And, I am so sorry, although I spend some time each day answering e-mails, I have so little time to answer all of your questions and requests.
By the way, that first youtube video of mine which I reported last week had passed the 1 million viewer mark, is up to 1,132,419 views this week.

Here are our Top Three Posts of last week (Top daily posts are in the right hand sidebar). That second one is an old post from back in May.

1) Before you get too excited about Presidential candidate Ms. Carly

2) 36,144 refugees admitted to US in first seven months of FY2015 (fiscal year)

3) Our fact sheet

I don’t know what the interest was in that #2 post but surely it must have been this map (refugees admitted 2009-2012) that tells us what we knew intuitively, that some states—notably Idaho, North and South Dakota and surprisingly Vermont—are getting huge numbers of refugees in relation to their population size. Both Idaho and North Dakota have recently developed ‘POR.’

RRW weekly roundup for week ending August 8, 2015

Sorry, just getting to this today.
But, it is just as well because as of the 8th our youtube video had not passed the 1 million views mark, but by late yesterday it had!
See it here! It is at 1,012,702 (at this minute) having attracted over 12,000 viewers since yesterday afternoon when it passed that million-viewer milestone! Who are all these people?
St. Cloud, MN news last week brought thousands of new viewers to RRW as posts about St. Cloud (a Pocket of Resistance) were two of our three top posts for the week.

For new readers!

I started posting the weekly roundup just so it would give me an opportunity to tell new readers who had arrived during the week about how to get the most useful information from visits to RRW. You can see those instructions by visiting this weekly roundup (scroll to New Readers).
This is also an opportunity for me to get messages to you and to apologize (for example) for not being able to answer all of your e-mails. I try as best I can, but know that RRW is just me, a blogger, and not some massive heavily-funded organization like those that the NO Borders people run. (See for example the moneybags at NEO Philanthropy, here. )
There is a lot of money and power arrayed against us, but do not be deterred. You have every right to speak up and organize to protect our values and cherished way of life.
Pockets of Resistance are springing up and growing around the country (see our category where we archive posts about ‘Pockets of Resistance’). Through the Center for Security Policy we are trying to find you all and get you connected with each other.
P.S. Follow me on twitter! Did you see our new feature in the right hand side bar, it shows my twitter feed! I’m trying harder to use twitter to get articles and other news to you that I don’t have time to post. I am @refugeewatcher.

RRW weekly roundup for week ending August 1, 2015

08/02/2015 ~ Ann Corcoran ~ Leave a comment

For new readers, we try to report every week on which of our stories garnered the most interest during the previous week.
This week’s number one post is from 2013! I usually am never able to figure out why some old post, all of a sudden, makes the big time. This one obviously struck a cord and someone sent it out through social media. Maybe something new happened in Noel, Missouri (where Tyson Foods is destroying the town) that I missed? I don’t know.
Or, could it be that since Democrat Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is making sense and saying that immigration DOES HURT AMERICAN WORKERS some people are finding examples of it? Here is how our Number One post for this week begins:

It is not often I agree with anything from “Progressives,” but when a reader sent me this piece from Progressives for Immigration Reform I couldn’t believe my eyes. It is more on the report we posted the other day on Noel, Missouri and the poverty the town is experiencing as it is flooded with mostly REFUGEE laborers for Tyson Foods.

How on earth our federal CHURCH contractors can be aiding and abetting this travesty continues to be beyond my understanding.

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

1) Progressives: Tyson Foods exploits immigrant labor, destroys small towns

2) Texas Congressman introduces bill to suspend Refugee Resettlement Program!

3) St. Cloud, MN: AFL-CIO operative using intimidation tactics, stirs racial unrest….

By the way, on #3 here, I think Ms. Jane Conrad is out of step with Democrat candidate Bernie Sanders. She hasn’t gotten the message yet that American workers (and wages!) are hurt by the flood of immigrant low-skilled labor coming into Minnesota—imported with the help of federal contractors like Lutheran Social Service and Catholic Charities! I wonder when these union organizers will focus on the big fat salaries of CEOs like the one leading Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota.

Youtube video headed to One Million Views!

And on my first Youtube that we are trying to push to 1 million views—-it is up to 878,219 as of this morning! And, this will give you a laugh, it seems that the federal contractors have an internal document that seeks to rebut each of my points. They are that concerned that they feel they need to answer what I say!
Don’t miss the video on 65,000 Syrians, it is actually more important than the first video. See also Jim Simpson’s 5-minute presentation on the Red-Green Axis to erase America, here.
For new readers, please go to a previous weekly round-up here for instructions on how to get the most out of your visits to RRW.
