[JustTheNews] Many pillars of the Mexican elite embrace the notion of Reconquista—the “reconquest” of the land ceded to the United States by Mexico during the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, achieved through mass migration and political action. There are many in positions of power who share some version of that vision.
Editors Note: The following are excerpts from award-winning investigative journalist Peter Schweizer's new book "The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon."
The book examines the role of China and Mexico in encouraging illegal immigration to the United States and the allies on U.S. soil that they are working with.
These excerpts are gleaned from the chapters entitled "Mexico’s Reconquista of the US Is Real."
In February 2023, José Gerardo Rodolfo Fernández Noroña, a member of the Mexican parliament for President Claudia Sheinbaum’s ruling Morena party, stood on the floor of the Congreso de la Union and calmly declared that California, Texas, and New Mexico were, among other parcels, “occupied territories.”
He went on to say that Mexico “should review this dispossession and once again demand the recovery of these territories” from America. These outlandish statements certainly did not hurt his career. In fact, they helped him. A year and a half later, he was elected president of the Mexican Senate. Noroña is not alone.
Many pillars of the Mexican elite embrace the notion of Reconquista—the “reconquest” of the land ceded to the United States by Mexico during the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, achieved through mass migration and political action. There are many in positions of power who share some version of that vision.
While they may or may not mean the literal territorial rejoining of those territories with Mexico, they very much mean the cultural and political detachment of the American Southwest from the US and transforming it to resemble Mexican civilization.
They hope to accomplish this task by mass migration, preventing the assimilation of migrants in the United States to the American way of life, and organizing them into a political force for Mexico’s benefit. With the help of powerful forces inside the United States, they are well on their way.
Mexico’s political elite are shockingly open about it.
In 2017, Andrés Manuel López Obrador (popularly known as AMLO), then Mexico’s president (and Sheinbaum’s mentor), was walking outside one night surrounded by a cluster of reporters. They were furiously peppering him with questions. One asked him about the mass of migrants who were heading north. AMLO declared that Mexicans living in the United States “are not alone, that we will support you. We will always support each other.”
“Do you think that the Mexicans are reconquering our lands again?” one reporter shouted from the scrum.
“We Mexicans are reconquering our lands again,” AMLO responded with a smile. “Yes, especially because the human rights of migrant workers must be respected.”
For Mexico’s elite, mass migration is not just an economic reality. And the United States is not just a friendly neighbor with which it occasionally clashes. Instead, the US is a rival civilization with opposing values that must be subverted.
As Jorge Nuño Jiménez, a prominent Mexican academic who regularly attends the United Nations Conference, stated in 2024, mass migration is “causing the demographic reconquest in areas that the Americans had forcibly taken from Mexico.”
***
Assimilation is not the preferred path of the Mexican government, which works diligently to ensure other countless migrants don’t follow suit
Alberto Vieyra Gómez, the founding director of the Mexican News Agency (Agencia Mexicana de Noticias), opined in a 2023 article that migrants are “quietly carrying out a reconquest of the territories the US took from us in 1848.”
He warned that once the Americans figured out what was going on, migrants should watch out for “Yankee fundamentalism,” noting that “the reconquest of the Aztec territory is silent, and the day the gringos realize this, this diabolical fundamentalism will become macabre.”
We’ve noticed and are reversing. 2.5 million so far, and more to come… and the only death of note so far is that lesbian Good female. So much for macho predictions.
In 2025, Octavio Paredes López, the former president of the Mexican Academy of Sciences, cheered on subversive migration to the United States. “We are witnessing the greatest peaceful and silent reconquest of our identity that history has ever recorded,” he proclaimed.
***
Reconquista does not necessitate a change in governance or ownership. In the minds of many Mexican leaders, the cultural and political weapon presented by mass migration into the United States is enough to fundamentally transform it.
In July 1997, Mexican president Ernesto Zedillo traveled to Chicago to address the National Council of La Raza, a nonprofit Hispanic organization in the US with considerable political power.
Founded in 1968, La Raza (The Race) began as a militant organization committed to Latino liberation. In 2017, the name was changed to UnidosUS. Domestic activist organizations like this loom large in Mexico’s subversive strategy.
“I have proudly proclaimed that the Mexican nation extends beyond the territory enclosed by its borders,” Zedillo told La Raza members to cheers in the American heartland, “and that Mexican migrants are an important, a very important part of it.”
And Zedillo meant it.
The Mexican government amended the constitution that year to allow Mexicans in the United States who had received their American citizenship to remain Mexican citizens.
As one Mexican congressman explained: “It signifies the recognition that nations are more than concrete, special territorial resources. . . . Belonging to Mexico is fixed in bonds of a cultural and spiritual order, in customs, aspirations and convictions that today are the essence of a universally recognized civilization.”
With millions of Mexicans having migrated to the US before the turn of the millennium, the pro-Mexican ethos was now a growing force inside the United States.
After the US passed a law in 1996 to limit illegal immigration, President Zedillo expressed his belief that the US government does not actually have full sovereignty over Mexicans living in the country. “We will not tolerate foreign forces dictating and enacting laws on Mexicans,” he said, the “foreign forces” being the U.S. federal government.

Tangential note - when the US acquired the land, there were only about 10,000 Mexican nationals in the entire region in two clusters, one on the west coast and another along the Rio Grande river. Both the Spanish and Mexican governments never gained full control over the Apache or Navajo raiders.
Speaking of which, its just not the Yankee they have to confront, but the indigenous natives who have no interest in these ambitions. It was the presence of the Americans that shut down Mexican slavers who raided the natives in the southwest.

All you have to do is look at Mexico to see what whould become of the United State of America if these Reconquista idiots have their way. Seal the border. Stop all trade with Mexico. Ban all travel to and from Mexico. Treat them just like Cuba or Iran.

The latest numbers from Skidmark’s Fox News link T #5:
"In President Trump’s first year back in office, nearly 3 million illegal aliens have left the U.S. because of the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration, including an estimated 2.2 million self-deportations and more than 675,000 deportations," DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said in a statement.
Also, though Secretary Noem does not explain how:
"Meanwhile, we have saved taxpayers more than $13.2 billion here at DHS," Noem continued.
[Breitbart] Cuba’s communist Castro regime is seeking oil from Africa to offset the oil it is no longer getting from Venezuela’s socialist regime thanks to President Donald Trump’s campaign pressure, the independent outlet 14 y Medio reported on Monday.
Jorge Piñón, an energy expert at the University of Texas, detailed to 14 y Medio that the Mia Grace, a Marshall Islands-flagged oil tanker departed from Lomé, Togo, on Monday and will arrive in Havana on February 4.
Based on the ship’s 50,000 tons capacity and the draft observed on ship monitoring services, Piñón told 14 y Medio that, “It seems that it is not fully loaded.” The energy expert stressed that the quality of the cargo is not known with certainty, but he asserted that it could be diesel or fuel oil.
“Togo does not refine oil, but it exports refined oil and has extensive logistics and maritime transit infrastructure,” he explained, and estimated that the tanker could be carrying either 314,500 barrels of diesel or 280,500 barrels of fuel oil.
Cuba largely relies on fuel imports to operate its barely-functional power plants — all brought to a state of near-complete ruin after more than six decades of disastrous communist policies. The Cuban regime also receives oil from Mexico.
Piñón asserted that that the oil could have been a “cash purchase” by Cubametales, the Cuban state-owned company that handles oil imports and exports, through an “European intermediary.” The United States, during President Trump’s first temp, sanctioned Cubamentales in 2019 for importing oil from Venezuela in exchange of providing now-deposed dictator Nicolás Maduro with defense, intelligence, and security assistance.
The upcoming arrival of the vessel to Havana, 14 y Medio said, “shows how, in the face of pressure from the United States following the capture of Nicolás Maduro over Venezuela’s oil, Cuba’s main fuel supplier for the pas 25 years, Cuba is trying to find supplies elsewhere, in this case, Africa.”
Last week, President Trump announced that Cuba is being cut off from oil and money, and urged the communist Castro regime, which has been in power for over six decades, to make a deal.
“THERE WILL BE NO MORE OIL OR MONEY GOING TO CUBA – ZERO! I strongly suggest they make a deal, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. Thank you for your attention to this matter,” President Trump wrote in a Truth Social post .
On December, roughly a month before President Trump announced that Cuba would be cut off from oil and money, the United States seized a Cuba-bound oil tanker as it was sailing off the coast of Venezuela.
Hours after the United States’ law enforcement operation in Caracas that resulted in the arrest of Nicolás Maduro and his Wife Cilia Flores, the Castro regime confirmed that 32 Cuban military officials died defending Maduro — a revelation that debunked years of both allied regimes repeatedly denying that the Cuban military was operating in Venezuela. The remains of the 32 officials arrived inside small boxes to Havana last week, raising questions regarding what happened to the soldiers.

What would we do with Cuba? Plenty of Cuban refugees here will happily invest in their cousins — who for the most part are hard working and creative, if only given a chance. Leave it to the private sector once the Communist government falls.

It would appear this fellow they call 'The Orange Man' is thinking ahead 3-6 moves, possibly more. The visceral hate he receives from the left is a tool he uses like a ship's compass. He surrounds himself with brilliant young minds half his age and relies on well placed senior advisors whose identities are seldom made public.

Cuba was already all but in name part of the US. The Platt Amendment is how we got Gitmo and it's how we still have it today. If Trump is taking over Greenland to complete Manifest Destiny then Cuba is a natural next move. Just another leftover from the Spanish-American war like Puerto Rico.
[IsraelTimes] Israel won’t allow the use of terror to undermine regional stability, Katz says; Greek counterpart says Athens to cooperate with Jerusalem on anti-drone tech, cybersecurity
Defense Minister Israel Katz met with his Greek counterpart Nikos Dendias in Athens on Tuesday as security ties continue to grow between the two Mediterranean countries.
Issuing a thinly veiled warning to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...a NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions... member, but not the most reliable... , Katz said Israel and Greece were determined "not to allow actors seeking to undermine regional stability to establish a foothold through terrorism, aggression, or military proxies — in Syria, in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... , in the Aegean Sea, or in any other arena — and to realize their dangerous ambitions."
"Those who dream of dragging the region backward, establishing control through terror, or rebuilding empires at the expense of sovereign states will encounter a resolute alliance of free, strong nations capable of defending themselves," Katz continued, alongside his Greek counterpart.
Speaking of Master Sgt. Ran Gvili, the last slain hostage held in Gaza, Katz stressed that "Hamas ..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,... bears the responsibility to locate him and return him to Israel for burial without any delay."
Greece will cooperate with Israel on anti-drone systems and cybersecurity, Dendias said after meeting his Israeli counterpart.
In late December, Israel, Greece and Cyprus signed a trilateral work plan for military cooperation among the IDF, Greece’s Hellenic Armed Forces, and the Cypriot National Guard in 2026, in a move that further deepens security coordination among Turkey’s regional rivals in the eastern Mediterranean.
The agreement, signed in Cyprus, also provided for various bilateral work plans and covers joint exercises and training, working groups across a range of fields and strategic military dialogue on shared security challenges, according to the military.
Also in December, Greek media reported that the three allies were examining the establishment of a joint rapid-response military force in the eastern Mediterranean, amid growing concern in Athens over Turkey’s expanding military posture.
Greece and Cyprus have already purchased missile systems from Israel worth billions of euros. Athens is also in talks to buy from Israel medium- and long-range anti-aircraft and anti-ballistic missile systems for a planned multi-layer air and drone defense system known as the "Achilles Shield," estimated to cost about 3 billion euros ($3.5 billion).
Last month, the Greek parliament approved the purchase of 36 PULS rocket artillery systems from Israel to bolster defenses along Greece’s northeastern border with Turkey and on Greek islands in the Aegean Sea.
[IsraelTimes] Pop-up shop held to support Sudan features items in support of Hamas, Hezbollah and the PFLP
Vendors sold paraphernalia for US-designated terrorist groups during a fundraiser held at a New York City youth center on Sunday, according to videos posted online.
The footage showed tables at the event arrayed with keychains, pins and stickers in support of Hamas ..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,... , Hezbollah and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine (PFLP).
The US State Department has designated all three groups as Foreign Terrorist Organizations.
The fundraiser took place at the Moslem American Society
…the Moslem American Society is yet another tentacle of the Muslim Brotherhood in America, founded in 1993 in Illinois. They’ve held a joint conference annually with the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) — another Muslim Brotherhood organization — since 2002, and were designated a terrorist organization by the UAE along with a slew of other Muslim Brotherhood orgs in 2014.
Youth Center in Brooklyn, according to the social media posts. Organizers billed the event, called Thrift4Sudan ...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans... , as an exhibit and pop-up store, and said the proceeds would "go to Sudan."
At the event, vendors sold items with the images of the late terrorist leaders Yahya Sinwar of Hamas, and His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah ...The late, lamented satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb...> of Hezbollah, the logos of the PFLP and Hamas, and a masked figure resembling the late Hamas spokesperson Abu Obeida.
Other items said "Death to the IDF" and "Let’s go bomb Tel Aviv," showed PFLP plane hijacker Leila Khaled, or had inverted red triangles, a Hamas symbol.
Next to the display was a sign showing a masked figure alongside the quote, "Whomever wants to snatch our weapons, we will snatch their soul, God willing," a rough translation of a statement by the late spokesperson for the Paleostinian Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... terror group, Abu Hamza.
The videos showing the display were Instagram "stories" that disappear after 24 hours.
A video showing the items was posted by Pal-Awda, a hardline anti-Zionist activist group that caused an uproar by chanting for Hamas outside a Queens synagogue earlier this month. The youth center posted a video showing the display from another angle.
The event organizers advertised that six vendors had participated. One of the vendors sells the pins for terrorist groups and items that call for violence against Israel, and says that the proceeds are donated to families in Gazoo

Rifts Deepen Among Pakistan-Focused Militant Groups Under Afghan Taliban Patronage; Fresh Jamaat-ul-Ahrar Recruitment in Kunar
According to sources, a large number of individuals have recently pledged allegiance to the Fitna al khwarij Jamaat-ul-Ahrar in the village of Baily, Shultan district of Afghanistan’s Kunar province.
Those who took the oath include several group commanders: Maulvi Zabihullah (Afghani), Maulvi Abrar (Pakistani), Haji Gul (Afghani), Mufti Ilyas (Pakistani), Maulvi Hamid Bacha (Afghani), and Saddam alias Arshad (Pakistani).
[IsraelTimes] Israel, which has banned the agency, says compound doesn’t enjoy immunity as UNRWA had ceased operations there; Ben Gvir celebrates at scene: ‘Terror supporters being kicked out’
Israel on Tuesday began demolishing the East Jerusalem headquarters of UNRWA, the UN agency for Paleostinian refugees and their descendants, with Israeli forces entering the compound with bulldozers and other demolition equipment in the early morning and destroying buildings in what UNRWA called an "unprecedented attack."
The move to demolish UNRWA’s headquarters comes after years of legislative measures against the agency, which Israel accuses of collusion with Hamas ..one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,... and participation in terror activities.
The Knesset passed a pair of laws in late October 2024 banning UNRWA from operating within Israeli territory. Despite the ban, UNRWA operations, including schools, healthcare and other social services, are still hobbling along in East Jerusalem.
UNRWA front man Jonathan Fowler said in a statement to the international press that Israeli forces "stormed into" the compound shortly after 7 a.m. local time.
"This is an unprecedented attack against UNRWA and its premises. And it also constitutes a serious violation of international law and the privileges and immunities of the United Nations ...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships... ," he added.
Israel defended the move to demolish the compound, with the Foreign Ministry saying in a statement that "UNRWA-Hamas had already ceased its operations at this site and no longer had any UN personnel or UN activity there."
"The compound does not enjoy any immunity and the seizure of this compound by Israeli authorities was carried out in accordance with both Israeli and international law," it added.
As the bulldozers began tearing down structures, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir arrived at the scene to watch the demolition.
"This is an important day for illusory sovereignty in Jerusalem," he said. "Today these terror supporters are being kicked out of here with everything they’ve built. This is what will be done to every terror supporter."
Last month, Israeli authorities raided the compound, raising an Israeli flag over the main building and seizing assets it said were related to municipal tax disputes, though the UN maintained that the raid had nothing to do with taxes and the East Jerusalem compound "remains United Nations premises and is inviolable and immune from any other form of interference."
Israel has long sought to shutter the agency altogether, saying it perpetuates the conflict by continuing to confer refugee status on Paleostinian descendants rather than resettling them, unlike the practice with the rest of the world’s refugees.
It ramped up its campaign against the agency after evidence showed that employees of the agency had participated in the October 7, 2023, onslaught by Hamas.
Israel has also alleged that more than 10 percent of UNRWA’s staff in Gazoo

The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... have ties to terrorist factions, and that educational facilities under the organization’s auspices consistently incite hatred of Israel and glorify terror.
In February 2024, the IDF revealed the existence of a subterranean Hamas data center directly beneath UNRWA’s Gaza Strip headquarters. The IDF has also repeatedly targeted Hamas command centers and button men hiding out in UNRWA schools.
A number of freed hostages have also testified after returning to Israel that they were held in captivity in UNRWA schools and facilities.
However,
a good lie finds more believers than a bad truth... some supporters have noted the key role the agency fills in providing relief to Paleostinians in Gaza and the West Bank and keeping them from deeper poverty that could fuel violence and terrorism, saying no other body or group is equipped to handle that responsibility.
[IsraelTimes] After Israel demolished the East Jerusalem headquarters of UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees and their descendants, Energy Minister Eli Cohen’s office says that all UNRWA facilities in Israel will be cut off from electricity tomorrow.
Their water will be cut off as well in the near future, says Cohen’s office.
The Israel Electricity Corporation sent a warning on January 6 that the electricity would be cut off in 15 days.
The electricity cut-off will affect seven UNRWA facilities, Cohen’s office tells The Times of Israel.
The sites include four schools, and a baby health clinic.
In December, the Knesset passed a law prohibiting the provision of electricity or water to facilities owned by or operated on behalf of UNRWA.
Israel has long sought to shutter UNRWA, saying it perpetuates the conflict by continuing to confer refugee status on Palestinian descendants.
It ramped up its campaign against the agency after evidence showed that employees of the agency had participated in the October 7, 2023, attack by Hamas.
Israel has also alleged that more than 10 percent of UNRWA’s staff in Gaza have ties to terrorist factions, and that educational facilities under the organization’s auspices consistently incite hatred of Israel and glorify terror.
[IsraelTimes] After the heads of major Christian churches in the region released a statement condemning Christian Zionism last week, a leading international Christian Zionist organization based in Jerusalem responds that "the promised restoration of Israel in modern times enjoys ample biblical credentials in both the Old and New Testaments."
"The Jewish return to the Land of Israel both reflects and affirms the faithful nature and character of God to always keep His sworn covenant promises, thereby strengthening the Christian faith rather than damaging or undermining it," the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem says, after the Patriarchs and Heads of Churches in Jerusalem listed Christian Zionism among the "damaging ideologies" being advanced by individuals in Israel.
"The promised Jewish return to Zion has been taught and embraced by many devout Christians throughout the Church age, from the original Apostles and some of the early Church fathers to medieval clergymen, right up to the modern-day Protestant and Evangelical church movements," says ICEJ. "Christian Zionism thus predates Supersessionism and will survive its passing."
ICEJ has been a key independent player in Israeli diplomacy, playing central roles in countries in the Pacific and Latin America moving their embassies to Jerusalem.
"Our shared Christian Scriptures counsel that it is better to address any differences we may have about doctrine and beliefs firstly in direct dialogue among brethren, rather than through the media," says ICEJ.
Notably, the Latin Patriarchate, which is part of the Heads of Churches, has not shared the statement condemning Christian Zionism on its website or on social media.
[IsraelTimes] The US Central Command says it has boosted its capabilities in the Middle East with the arrival of an F-15 fighter jet squadron, amid the ongoing tensions with Iran.
CENTCOM publishes a photo of an F-15E from the 494th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron landing at an undisclosed base in the Middle East earlier this week.
The same squadron was deployed to the Middle East in April 2024 to counter Iran’s drone and missile barrage on Israel.
CENTCOM says the presence of the F-15s in the region “enhances combat readiness and promotes regional security and stability.”
Meanwhile, the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier strike group is still reportedly on its way to the Middle East, which will further boost the US’s available firepower and defensive capabilities, and give President Donald Trump the option to launch an attack on Iran against the backdrop of the regime’s killing of protesters.
Numerous open-source intelligence accounts have reported that 16 Chinese Y-20 cargo jets, comparable to the U.S. C-17 Globemaster, have landed in Iran within a 56 hour timespan, marking the largest such movement for the Chinese.
The potential increase in military support comes as the mass killing of anti-regime protesters has nearly reached 20,000 in some estimates. Iranian officials have confirmed the deaths of at least 5,000, according to a Reuters report.

President Trump has continued to pressure the Iranian regime into submission, implementing strict tariffs on the Persian state’s trade partners last week and threatening military action should the Ayatollah not back down.
There is no verified evidence that **Chinese Y-20 cargo jets** have landed in Iran. Reports of 16 Chinese military transports arriving in Iran over a 56-hour period, circulating on social media and some news platforms, have been identified as **misinformation** by experts. The claims appear to be exaggerated or fabricated, with no credible flight data or satellite imagery supporting the presence of Y-20s in Iranian airspace.
Instead, multiple sources, including aviation forums and fact-checkers, suggest that the aircraft in question were likely **civilian cargo planes** operated by European or international freight companies (such as Cargolux), flying to **Ashgabat, Turkmenistan**, not Iran. Flightradar24 data, often cited in these reports, can estimate an aircraft’s position after it loses signal, which may create the illusion of flights entering Iran when they did not.
While China and Iran maintain strategic ties and have previously engaged in military and economic cooperation, **direct military aid shipments**, especially involving advanced platforms like the Y-20, remain unconfirmed. Experts emphasize that China is likely cautious about overt military involvement due to the risk of escalating tensions with the U.S. and Israel.
In short: **No verified Y-20 flights to Iran have occurred. The claims are based on misinterpreted data and disinformation.**
…Aviation experts have noted that the type of plane used, Boeing 747 freighters, are commonly used for transporting military equipment and weapons, and hired to fly government contract orders.
