Oh, but the folks in charge will fix this better next time, after the elections, if we only let them keep their jobs.

Note to leaders (both parties): stop peeing on our shoes and telling us it’s raining!!!

This is evidence of FJB/Heels Up regime execution of the Cloward Piven strategy and certain justification of voting this cancerous regime out. How much more must our citizens suffer??

Only as much as we allow. Fight back and imprison all responsible for this invasion!!!!!!

And how much more of this must we finance with our tax dollars?

All of it.

Whenever I hear music used in a documentary of any kind I assume that makers of the documentary are trying to sway me with means extrinsic to the proof they have. This is a common practice which I urge you to give up; make your argument straightforwardly.

I agree with you. I detest emotional manipulation, even if I agree with the message. Just give me the facts.

Well the facts are what your eyes are seeing and words spoken. Do you ever watch 20/20, or Dateline or every documentary out there. All have music.

Upstart, an interesting comment. So even if you agree, the use of music to create an ominous tone is what stands out to you? But isn't that truthful? IMHO I do not see anything wrong with giving a video about fed support of community destruction an ominous tone. I think you may be engaging is self-silencing and self-sensorship. Feel free to detest emotional manipulation that support lies but this is a truth and IMHO the soundtrack is truthful. What is going on is quite terrible.

To those who don't like being emotionally manipulated, it's not a good thing, no. It's a signal to think or feel a certain way. I would prefer to think my own way. Hard to do with an ominous or happy sound track.

Well, there are subtitles, so you can mute the sound and supply your own music, whether it is Bach's Toccata and Fugue or Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polkadot Bikini. Perhaps the soundtrack to Space Odyssey is more to your taste?

Someone who complains about being emotionally manipulated by soundtracks ought to know, LOL!

Try reading my comment again for comprehension, since that's not at all what I said. The easily triggered don't know how to listen, you're too busy knee-jerking. "LOL!"

As a musician and a composer, I completely agree.

Isn't it interesting how personal some of these people take an opinion about music? My God, you'd think you just accused them of murder.

Expand full comment

So you want someone to control what you hear? Frankly, that is just dumb when as a composer, I would think you want to sell music.

Expand full comment

Because I love music, I prefer if people don’t abuse it to manipulate people’s emotions, as Upstart said above. It’s a cheap trick. If you think this point of view is dumb, fine. Some of us just see it differently.

Expand full comment

Are you trying to manipulate my emotions with your post? Music can be a cheap trick? Maybe we should outlaw music because it might be considered mind control. So you think when they play the country’s anthem when athletes receive medals at the Olympics is manipulation? Music is free speech. So how are we to set up the rules for music so that there is zero chance of manipulation?

Expand full comment

Muting every bright color would also help. Red circles, and red Xs used to draw attention are insulting. 🀑

Expand full comment

c, you seem triggered. The point being made here is just that the video footage is enough to get the point across. You don’t need scary music to stoke more fear.

Expand full comment

Maybe he did the sound track - hahahaha!

Expand full comment

Yes they should leave out the emotional manipulation music.

Expand full comment

Seriously? Music is your complaint? LOOK SQUIRREL!

Expand full comment

Who gives a flip whether or not music is played! We have a corrupt system and corrupt Denver leaders (progressive Dems btw, as are most political leaders in blue cities and states) using taxpayer dollars to fund an invasion of illegals. That seems to be a huge problem, soundtrack or not!

No explanation beside a deliberate destruction of our country, allowing the blob to β€œrescue” us and impose their power and control. Last chance to halt the communist revolution may close if not acted upon.

So much to unpack. A great demonstration of how the libs/ beauracratic state (1) have much too much money and (2) how they use funds as they see fit regardless of the earmark of the funds and (3) how the fed funds incompetency and (4) how the immigration crisis is a big money-machine for the corrupt parts of government and (5) why gov and gov money needs to be "closer to the people" when possible because, when it is not, it hurts people.

well, not so sure I would call the intro and lite background "sound" , real music. The actual content is what I find compelling. The reporter actually got shots of what is going on. Normally that is very dangerous to secure, as the perpetrators do not what their faces shown, or the light of day to arrive. Next, all that money and no one has record of what it is going for. IMO nothing good, simply trying to cover up what this admin has been doing to the American people, at our expense.

I am all for deportations, starting Jan 21, 2025 and we use every method necessary to find illegals, and send them back home. At the same time, the border is closed for business, til further notice.

take care, good reporting Chris and team.

Interesting the documentary says that, Since 2022 more than 43,000 migrants have landed in the mile high city and cost Denver more than $70 million. I live in Massachusetts and we have had an influx of far far fewer migrants in the last year and and it has cost the State of Massachusetts more than one billion dollars to date (yes, one billion $$). What we haven't seen is crime and rampant homelessness because the state has thrown absolutely massive resources (tax payer dollars) towards these migrants (resources that impoverished Massachusetts residents don't get!). It goes to show there are two ways to manage this crises. Either throw massive amounts of resources towards these migrants or don't throw resources at them and watch how your community will be ruined. Both ways of dealing with the crises are utterly unsustainable. Close the border and send most of them back!

Honestly, it’s the low end segments of society we are receiving who just aren’t able to land on their feet and contribute. There are other ways to improve demographics. If it’s young people we want more of in our country β€” HUNGARY has a very good model. But in Canada, our politicians are far too greedy, wanting gold plated paychecks, and pensions and this is the easy way to get it.

The communists need to destroy the traditional American way of life before implementing their Smart Cities and digital feudal system. This is part of it. Look for more of this, everywhere. To destroy a country, you first destroy the culture. Illegals are treated better than US citizens across the board and WE are forced to pay for it. This is what you get with Biden/Harris.

These are the migrants that showed up on the border and are finding their way across the US. Why did the US take them in? This is the Democrats problem, wef, humanity, all that. That landlord got what he deserved those low end humans thought everything would be free in the land of milk and Honey. Rent? What? I ain’t paying no rent.

They are literally using these migrants as a bioweapon.

Unfortunately, it is a classic truth. Government housing always becomes a giant slum and cesspool for crime. Military is the exception because they enforce discipline.

Our problem today is the Democrat party is hell-bent upon turning all American citizens into destitute people at the level of migrant workers. They're doing this by overloading neighborhoods of poor Americans with these illegal immigrants. Not a mistake, it is intended and then camouflaged as a mistake. Oops, my bad, if they are caught.

Nothing will be done until the federal agencys IE DOJ,FBI,CIA,IRS,NIH,NSA etc etc are gutted and everyone responsible is charged with treason and prosecuted , sent to prison or executed for treason . It may take or cause a actual revolution . Don't think it can't happen here. It has before!

Slumlord looking to make some money with no regard to the damage to society he was doing - looks good on him.

But is it true the Haitians are eating pets? I mean ducks I can forgive since you’d find them in a grocery store - there are photos of people walking on the street with obviously just caught ducks. But everywhere immigrants arrive there are cultural clashes. I don’t understand why one of these fucking NGOs can’t do a β€œcultural sensitivity for new arrivals” course.

Here in Ontario, we have low end Indians crapping on our beaches because that’s what some do back in India (I realize the lower end of society is responsible for this, but these are the people we are receiving on our borders not the quality, self-sufficient people.). The problem is, we don’t have tides to wash it away on a freshwater lake. Are they so stupid not to know this? Bury diapers too. Or just leave them under a rock. I sat down on a hike to have my lunch and smelled human excrement. Sure enough. Plus garbage management. Some tip stuff onto the escarpment after a picnic absolutely hard to police.

Through a lifetime of travel, I was always aware and culturally sensitive so that I didn’t step on any toes. There is little to no reciprocity. But we are receiving the low end of the societies that are immigrating because people doing well tend to stay where they are.

"I don't understand why one of these NGOs can't do a 'cultural sensitivity for new arrivals' course."

I agree, of course (although they shouldn't be here at all, but I digress). But the people doing this don't like our culture, don't care about teaching anyone about it and appreciation for it. They despise it. If anything, they'll teach us to be sensitive to what the invaders like/want. We are the ones who need to change, in their minds.

And that seems to be the expectation - working in recreation part time, we get alot of the new ones (they seem to have enough money to recreate at a fairly expensive resort, and do my tour which costs a bit ). If I challenge, or pushback a behaviour or incident, it usually results in β€œyou’re a racist”. And by push back what I mean is if I ask someone who is talking over my safety talk to please listen.
