[Breitbart] ‘Act of Great Stupidity’: President Trump Torpedoes Starmer Giving Away Land Under Strategic U.S. Military Base
U.S. President Donald Trump has taken a hand in the ongoing Chagos Islands saga, calling Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s determination to give away the land beneath a vital joint UK-U.S. base in the Indian Ocean a weak and shocking act of stupidity.
So busy guiding the decline into the hands of the imported replacement population, which will (he plans) keep Labour in power in perpetuity and money flowing into the pockets of the right sort of people.
The British government of Sir Keir Starmer giving the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT), the formal name for the Chagos Archipelago which includes the island of Diego Garcia where the UK and U.S. share a major air, naval, and intelligence base critical to power projection in the Asia-Pacific region, is an act of stupidity, the U.S. President has said. Under the terms of the deal the UK government would hand the islands to Mauritius, itself a security concern given the country’s deepening ties to China, and then pay billions to lease the land back for 100 years.
The British government believes it has to do this because it was told to by a United Nations court, and given the present domination of the state by human rights lawyers including the Prime Minister and his Attorney General, this has apparently been taken very seriously. It has also been alleged that key British figures in this process were “too close to China” and to Mauritius.
Blasting the move in the early hours of Tuesday, President Donald Trump sarcastically decried the quality of a NATO ally that would hurry to dispose of the land under a “vital” joint military base, and said the UK was doing so for “no reason whatsoever”. President Trump wrote on Truth Social “The UK giving away extremely important land is an act of great stupidity”.
This act of weakness by bowing to a powerless UN body would have been clocked by Russia and China, Trump said. He compared the situation to Greenland, another island hosting an important U.S. military base whose European owner until lately seems broadly disinterested in defending its possessions. That islands can simply be given away from underneath U.S. military bases is “another in a very long line of National Security reasons why Greenland has to be acquired”, said President Trump.
That the UK’s left-wing government immediately began a rush to give away its overseas territory almost immediately upon taking power has been a matter of great alarm to right-wing sovereigntists, with Nigel Farage’s Reform UK leading the charge on opposing the process. Mr Farage responded to Trump’s comments on Tuesday, stating “Thank goodness Trump has vetoed the surrender of the Chagos islands.”
The Brexit leader referred to how the White House had allegedly been lobbied into accepting the UK government’s bid to dispose of BIOT by Starmer’s allies, adding: “The Americans have woken up to the fact that they were lied to. They were told that the UK had no choice but to surrender the Chagos Islands. This was simply not true, and now they are angry with us.”
The British government also responded to Trump’s interjection by maintaining the fiction that keeping its own land in the Indian Ocean and not handing it over to an ‘ally of China’ is, somehow, a threat to national security. A government spokesman said that the UK will never compromise on national security and that:
“We acted because the base on Diego Garcia was under threat after court decisions undermined our position and would have prevented it operating as intended in future… This deal secures the operations of the joint US-UK base on Diego Garcia for generations, with robust provisions for keeping its unique capabilities intact and our adversaries out
.
It has been publicly welcomed by the US, Australia and all other Five Eyes allies, as well as key international partners including India, Japan and South Korea.
The whole process of the BIOT giveaway has been plagued by claims and counterclaims of subterfuge and massive lobbying. As reported in 2024, it was claimed that the giveaway was pushed by the Biden White House in its last months in power, his administration having allegedly lobbied to get an agreement done before handing over power to President Trump. It was further stated that the U.S. government had privately warned the UK about the dangers of handing over the land the U.S.-UK joint military base sits on over China spying fears, even as Washington supported its ally the UK in public.
In the end, President Trump said last year the deal as presented to him “doesn’t sound bad”.
Before he read the text of the agreement, one assumes.
The House of Commons is due to vote on the so-called Chagos deal to hand the islands over to Mauritius again today, taking the surrender treaty one step closer to being enacted. The failure of the legacy-right Conservative Party to seriously oppose the giveaway — having got the ball on the matter rolling during their time in power — saw the defection of one of their Members of Parliament as recently as Sunday, with Andrew Rosindell crossing the floor to Nigel Farage’s Reform.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Sir Keir Starmer risked provoking Donald Trump again today as he gave the green light for China's new 'mega-embassy' in London despite security fears.
The Government has signed off the plans for the site in the face of furious opposition from many MPs and warnings it will 'amplify' spying.
Critics accused the Prime Minister - who could now confirm he will visit China soon - of lacking the 'backbone' to stand up to Beijing and of 'kowtowing' to the Asian superpower.
Documents released alongside the decision showed MI5 warned that it is 'not realistic to expect to be able wholly to eliminate each and every potential risk'.
The decision was announced shortly after Mr Trump had condemned Sir Keir for 'giving away' the Chagos Islands to Mauritius in an 'act of great stupidity'.
And a few hours later Chancellor Rachel Reeves used an appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos to say it was in the UK's national interest to do more business with China. "Hong Kong was such a success"
Sitting alongside US secretary of commerce Howard Lutnick she said: 'The trade intensity between the UK and China is lower than between the US and China, lower than Germany and China, lower than France and China.
'We want to help British businesses as well to be able to export to those fast-growing markets.'

[Breitbart] Mexico’s consulates across the United States are running a shadow campaign to bend American elections in favor of Mexican interests, #1 New York Times bestselling investigative journalist and Breitbart News Senior Contributor Peter Schweizer writes in his new book, The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon.
With more than 50 consulates in the U.S. today, Schweizer writes, the Mexican government “is blatantly interfering in our domestic politics, working with American political advisors to turn legal and illegal migrants inside the US into a political force to wield for their benefit.”
In particular, Schweizer writes, the Mexican government sends about a million textbooks to American schools every year to teach its version of U.S. history, among other subjects.
Likewise, for Mexican-American adults in the U.S., Mexico’s consulates offer such courses, which Schweizer writes is not meant to help assimilate Mexican migrants to American life.
Perhaps most consequential are the mass protests that Mexico’s consulates help stage in the U.S., Schweizer writes, designed to combat anti-illegal immigration policies:
Mexico, working with its domestic allies, has staged successful mass protests. During the spring of 2007, hundreds of thousands of protestors took to the streets across America in multiple marches to defend illegal immigrants. They blocked roads, carrying Mexican, Salvadoran, Guatemalan, or Dominican flags. The chants reflected a presumption of the right to become citizens regardless of their host country’s laws. “‘Today we march, tomorrow we vote’ and ‘We didn’t cross the border; the border crossed us.’” An astonishing 3.5 million to 5 million people participated in the marches in twenty cities over a couple of months.107 While many Americans were shocked by the political display, radicals noted with pleasure “the highly organized protest against the exclusionary model of citizenship. It worked: the bill raising illegal immigration to a felony died in the Senate.
At one Los Angeles protest involving hundreds of thousands of Hispanics, including illegal aliens, the Associated Press reported that Alberto Tinoco, a Mexican television reporter, was “almost giddy” watching the subversion of American political sovereignty, telling viewers on Mexican television: “With all due respect to Uncle Sam, this shows that Los Angeles has never stopped being ours.”
Most blatantly, Schweizer notes, former Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) toured American cities in February 2017 with the purpose of rallying Mexican migrants in the U.S. against President Donald Trump’s border policies which crippled drug cartel profits through strict immigration enforcement.
AMLO, in his attempts to upend Trump’s border policies, went as far as to suggest turning Mexico’s consulates into migrant defense offices, Schweizer writes — an unprecedented level of lobbying by a neighboring nation’s leader against a sitting American president.
“AMLO was not simply aiding migrants in their legal battles in the United States; he was calling for and working toward an electoral change inside the US,” Schweizer writes. “A foreign leader so brazenly interfering in American politics was unprecedented, at least from a country with which the United States was not at war.”

Shut them all down, expel the Mexican ambassador, close down everything Mexican, and treat our southern border like a real border, armed and impenetrable. Mexico is at war with us, treat them in kind.

Interesting that the Somalis have consulates only in DC, NYC, Minneapolis, San Diego and Houston. To me, it does not look like the Somali government is set up to coordinate all these fraud activities and money laundering. There are significant problems in Maine, Washington state and Columbus reported. The scams are prevalent , professional and cookie cutter. It’s not grassroots. Somalis are too tribal to even vote for the same local candidate without oversight. They are not sharing scam ideas with each other . There is also an organized pony express for cash set up . It’s organized crime, but organized by who? The Biden Administration knew who the money was going to or they would not have given it the green light. There is an overarching issue not isolated to Mohammad as the Learing Center.
