From Michael Yon Panama City, Panama 24 March 2021 Yon-Genre mind-dump. Unedited -- we are busy researching. Our team has been in Texas, New Mexico, Mexico, Colombia, and Panama investigating the surge of migrants pouring through the Darien Gap. Darien Gap is one of the most deadly areas on earth. Sixty miles of roadless jungle between Panama and Colombia. Many people believe they can drive from Alaska to Tierra Del Fuego -- the tip of South America. If someone tells you they did this -- they are lying. Nobody drives between Colombia and Panama. Check Google Earth. It's easier to fly to the moon and drive there. Many of the Trippers who head South will drive from Alaska to Panama City, load vehicle on boat, then fly or boat to Colombia. Darien Gap: Towering mountains. FARC guerrillas. Drug smugglers. Unhappy Indians -- they call themselves Indians. Snakes. Malaria. Dengue. Crocodiles. Floods. Dangerous migrants who murder, rob, and rape each other. Rodents of unusual size. Darien Gap has it all. My on-the-ground research partner, the famous Chuck Holton, was an Army Ranger and later an Army helicopter pilot who morphed into a war correspondent. Chuck speaks Spanish fluently. He lives in Panama. Chuck has been studying the border roughly twenty years and has interviewed many people who emerge alive. Chuck says that EVERY pretty girl or woman who goes through the gap is raped. Many men and women are murdered. All are robbed. Many are forced to carry cocaine. Colombia has become the Afghanistan of South America. Afghanistan, opium. Colombia, cocaine. Cartels have armies. We entered the edge of Darien Gap from the Colombia side. Smugglers were whisking migrant-victims from boats into the jungle. One day a couple weeks ago, I filmed them all from close range in 4k. Later, we flew to the Panama side of Darien Gap. We did not cross Darien Gap. Checking YouTube, there are journalists twirling smoke and mirrors pretending to have gone far into the Gap. Many we spoke with seemed to have zero idea of the severe dangers ahead. Migrant-victims who survive the Gap will emerge in Panama in Darien Province. We just drove to the end of Highway 1, down to Yaviza, after having done similar at the Colombia side in Capurgana -- far beyond the edge of the road on the Colombia side, but only into the crust of the Gap. We interviewed many victims of this journey before they entered. Those who survive the entire trip to Panama will be detained when they emerge, dragging, often half dead, from the jungle. Children frequently emerge without parents. Parents having died or been murdered inside the Darien Gap. We photographed many children heading into the Gap. Some were too small to walk. Too young to speak, or know anything about themselves. When children so young emerge into Panama, Panamanian officials take them into custody. Panamanian authorities publish their photographs. If the children go unclaimed, they will be given Panamanian names, sent to Panamanian schools, and never know whence they came. Aid groups facilitate the migration and pump the handle. Raking in billions. We see this around the world. What is their game? Are they truly aid groups? If they seriously wish to help migrants, why do they aid migrants to enter into the Bloody Darien? The Jungle of Rape, Torture, and Murder. No humanitarian would do this. They are Inhumanitarians. The Colombian government, Panamanian, Costa Rican, Nicaraguan, El Salvadorian, Honduran, Mexican, and the current American government, all encourage this. As does CNN in Spanish. Panama stopped all border crossing for almost a year during pandemic. They can do it. But don't. The Gap is open for business again. Chuck Holton, and the famous Japanese journalist Masako Ganaha, and I, were at a hotel restaurant in Cartegene, Colombia, when CNN started with their spiel. CNN may as well have said, "Go North Young Man." At other times, CNN has published specifically how to get into United States. Offering much encouragement. After I published this, CNN denied they do this. But here is a smoking gun. I asked Chuck if he would translate the situation. And I made this video: See photos on my Patreon of children entering the Jungle of Rape: https://www.patreon.com/posts/49063905

Border patrol drags old tires to smooth the ground. Like a chalkboard eraser to clear the board of footprints. I just made this video in New Mexico. In the military, we call this a track trap. Old technique used around the world, such as in Israel.

This is the privately built wall on private land. Very effective— causes smugglers to funnel into an open area where CBP grabs them.

Lasted less the five minutes. Just finished. Now Sunney but cold.

Yesterday, I flew from D.C. to El Paso. Today ventured over the border into Juarez, Mexico. El Paso is rated one of the safest large cities in America. Juarez -- a five minute walk over the bridge into Mexico, is one of the most dangerous cities on earth. I walked over with Todd Bensman who studies the border and related issues. On the way out, Todd asked CBP officers various questions such as do we need COVID tests to return from Mexico into the United States. They answered no, we do not need COVID test to walk in. Only to fly. Apparently COVID only flies to America. A CBP commander wearing rank of lieutenant colonel appeared miffed that we were only going to Mexico for a day, then returning, saying we were putting her officers at risk. That while a long line of cars and another long line of pedestrians were lined up to enter. But somehow we were the risk. Apparently COVID does in fact walk. Todd had told me earlier that many Mexican cases are rushed to the United States for treatment. He asked this to a CBP officer -- asking if she saw this much. Clearly they are forbidden to talk. But she acknowledged that they come over with lights flashing at times and skip the queue to get to hospital. After some time in Juarez, we walked back over and stood in line to re-enter United States. Two CBP agents escorted a man just by us back to the Mexico side. Todd asked an officer if this was a Title 42 case. Title 42 means they catch an illegal entry and take him/her/it straight back to Mexico. The CBP acknowledged this was Title 42. Todd then asked if he was Mexican. The officer said no. The Title 42 was not Mexican, and the officer would not say where he was from. Now, back from the dangerous city of El Paso to the much safer city of El Paso where the wild winds of West Texas blow.

Biden stopped construction today. This is an outer edge of US National Security.

Barriers coming down. Now Antifa and BLM can resume.

...been doing crack in, and said to have picked up a woman he impregnated. This is just beside Black Lives Matter Plaza in front of the White House.

20 January 2021 Washington, D.C. Yon-Genre Mind-dump without edit I am looking at the the White House now. The flag is up. President Trump just gave a pep talk and flew to Florida. I am a war correspondent. Many years experience across the world. I am American. My Mother’s side landed in Jamestown in 1610 after being shipwrecked on Bermuda in 1609. We know this because an author was aboard. Wrote about it. Shakespeare created a play about it called “The Tempest.” I’ve spent more than half my life overseas. Not “half my adult life,” but more than half my entire life. Some as a Green Beret, other times as War Correspondent, or doing other things. Lived or travelled in 74 other countries — this does not mean airport stops. I’ve learned many things. Such as that not all fish will co-exist in the same aquarium. Spent a great deal of time with communists or in communist countries. You don’t want that. It’s worse than the old people describe. When I was a kid, old people would say that tyranny was inching to America. That paper money would be abolished. That everything we did would be tracked by tyrants if we do not stand up. They sounded crazy. They sounded crazy then. But after I lived around the world, they began to sound wise. Now, troops are everywhere. D.C. is locked down tighter than Beijing or Hong Kong. I got kicked out of Hong Kong last year, and greatly doubt China will let me back into Mainland, or back to Tibet without arrest. D.C. and this mayor are like something from 1984. Which I decided to read again during pandemic 2020. Read it. This is my first post on Rumble. I am targeted elsewhere. This is it. You either Stand and Demand. Or kneel and beg. Many of these National Guard do not seem happy with this duty. I am American.
