Are the Origins of the “Open Border” Treasonous? And Is Treason Still a Crime in America? | 7-31-26

by | Jul 31, 2026 | News & Politics

Executive Summary

Treason and sedition are either crimes or they are not. And right now in America, sadly enough, it looks like they are not. That is the frame We the People have to sit with as we work through what actually happened at our southern border, inside our public health apparatus, and inside our courts over the last decade.

This episode traces the origins of the "open border" back further than the Biden years — back to the Alliance for Prosperity built by Joe Biden, George Soros's Open Society, and John Podesta's Center for American Progress during the Obama era. The dollars are on the record. $750 million in the final year of the Obama administration. Then $2.4 billion more into the Northern Triangle. Then $4 billion under Kamala Harris after she was dispatched, within weeks of taking office, to Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador to restart what Trump had disrupted.

We hold the 2015 audio in which Alejandro Mayorkas and John Podesta speak about "an unrelenting stream of immigration, non-stop, non-stop" and describe the coming minority status of Americans of European descent as "a source of our strength." We hold Mayorkas's 2022 testimony under oath that "the border is secure." We connect that engineered migration to the wider architecture our audience already recognizes — 51 intelligence officials who lied about the Hunter Biden laptop, Fauci meeting the CIA at Langley off the logs, media and Hollywood taking $11 billion to sell the mandates, and Norm Eisen operating openly as the New York Times-crowned "attorney general of the resistance."

Then we close where every episode of this show closes. With what We the People still have the power to do about it. Because the founders built the gridlock precisely for a moment like this one, and the leverage is still local, still real, and still ours.

Scroll to the bottom for Key Takeaways.

The Border Was Not a Failure. It Was a Product.

The question is not whether the border was insecure. The question is whether the insecurity was the plan. And that distinction matters — because the architects themselves put it on the record.

The Alliance for Prosperity was not a rogue program. It was a joint venture built out during the Obama years by Joe Biden with the direct participation of George Soros's Open Society and John Podesta's Center for American Progress. Congress appropriated $750 million in the final year of that administration, tied — on paper — to ending corruption, improving governance, protecting human rights, securing borders, and encouraging "civil society participation." That last phrase is the operative one. It is the language the NGO complex uses when it names itself in a line item.

Then $2.4 billion more moved into the Northern Triangle Projects. And then Kamala Harris, within weeks of being sworn in as vice president, was sent to Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador to restart the pipeline Trump had disrupted between 2016 and 2020. Roughly $4 billion over four years went back into that same triangle under what she called the "root causes strategy" and the "collaborative migration management strategy." Those are her program names.

When public money moves in one direction for a decade and the caravans come north on cue, We the People are not looking at a policy failure. We are looking at a policy success.

The 2015 Recording That Explains Everything

In 2015, Alejandro Mayorkas — who would later run the Department of Homeland Security — sat with John Podesta on tape and described "an unrelenting stream of immigration, non-stop, non-stop." Then, of Americans of Caucasian European descent becoming a minority by 2017, he said: "That's not a bad thing. That's a source of our strength."

That is not our characterization. That is the recording.

Now hold it next to Mayorkas's 2022 DHS testimony under oath. Asked whether the border was secure, he said: "It is my testimony that the border is secure. We are working every day, day and night, to increase its security."

The caravans were on television. The processing centers were overflowing. The line was down. And the testimony was: the border is secure.

At what point do We the People say that the government of the United States committed treason and sedition against the citizens of this country on purpose and by design? That is the question raised in the episode. And it is a question the record permits us to ask.

The Companion File: What the Intelligence Community Did to the 2020 Election

Fifty-one intelligence officials — including Bill Barr, Mike Pompeo, and Gina Haspel — signed a letter before the 2020 election telling the American people that the Hunter Biden laptop had the "hallmarks of a Russian disinformation operation." The intelligence community had known the laptop was authentic since 2019. They signed the letter anyway.

We are still waiting for charges.

Hunter Biden's involvement in the Ukraine bioweapons research through Metabiota was on the record. His relationship with the head of Chinese state intelligence was on the record. The 51 signatures were a coordinated act, not a coincidence.

Meanwhile Fauci met the CIA at Langley multiple times. His name did not appear in the entry logs. He was recorded inside a SCIF. The public health file and the intelligence file are the same file.

The Public Health File

Scott Atlas walked into the COVID task force with 15 to 20 peer-reviewed manuscripts arguing the science on children and schools. Fauci and Birx brought zero scientific papers to a single task force meeting. Not one. Ever. Dr. Birx's answer to Atlas was: "You're an outlier." That was the scientific rebuttal.

80,000 animals were tested for COVID. None had it. Three lab workers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology got sick with a virus of unknown origin in November of 2019. The nearest bat colony was more than a thousand kilometers away. The Department of Energy and the FBI have now concluded lab leak. NIH funded the research. Rand Paul was right, was publicly attacked, and has been vindicated.

Fauci's own diary — now on the record — shows he privately doubted the natural-origin story while publicly attacking anyone who raised the lab leak question. And the media that called every one of us a "conspiracy theorist" took $11 billion from the Biden administration to run the mandate campaign. Hollywood took its cut. Jimmy Kimmel ran the "I'm a doctor" skit. Not one has apologized.

The Lawfare Fulcrum

Norm Eisen — crowned by the New York Times as "the attorney general of the resistance" — is the operational continuity of a four-year Harvard-run operation that ran between 2016 and 2020 to remove Donald Trump from office by any means necessary. Rogue progressive judges are still executing pieces of it in 2026.

He said it on camera. April Ryan said it on camera. He stayed at Chief Justice John Roberts' house for weeks during his Obama-ambassador years. He was behind States United. He was behind the interference with the Paramount-Warner Brothers merger. He was at every single lawfare trial.

He is not hiding. He is winning. And a Biden-appointed judge, Sparkle Sooknanan, blocked Florida's access to the SAVE database that would have allowed the state to verify voter citizenship — which is how a 66-year-old Canadian green card holder named Giorgio Michelli voted in seven Florida elections over two decades before he was finally caught.

The Schools Are the Delivery System

The AFT under Randy Weingarten is embedding the World Economic Forum's global curriculum, in partnership with UNESCO, into 100,000 U.S. public schools. That is the AFT's announced target. Microsoft and Anthropic are funding a $12.5 million program targeting 10 percent of AFT teachers to embed DEI ideology into school AI systems. The NEA's May Day 2026 toolkit is already being implemented in twelve states — Vermont, Virginia, California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Hawaii, Oregon, Illinois, Rhode Island, Alaska, New York, Minnesota, and Connecticut.

Multiple states are simultaneously introducing Sharia instruction. Massachusetts is advancing a bill to create an 11-person all-Muslim commission empowered to appoint Muslims to state government positions, including school boards.

Whatever we call the political theory being taught, it is not the constitutional republic our Founders built.

The CCP Vector

Twenty-six elite journalists at the New York Times, Financial Times, The Atlantic, and the Council on Foreign Relations' Foreign Affairs magazine have been documented working with the People's Republic of China to reshape China's image in America. Natalie Winters did the reporting. The names include Jill Abramson, David Brooks, Juan Williams, and David Ignatius — many of them figures from Russiagate and the fake Ukraine impeachment.

Dianne Feinstein employed a Chinese intelligence officer for 20 years. Eric Swalwell had a three-year relationship with a suspected CCP agent. The Congressional Black Caucus organized "exposure trips" to China for more than 750 constituent students, then required those students to give testimonials. QSEF worked to build a pipeline between Confucius Institutes and HBCUs. The DOJ has now arrested a mayor in Arcadia, California — a man named Wang — and another arrest, Mike Sun, is tied to Southern California Democratic fundraising.

Members of New York Mayor Mamdani's DSA pledged to "support and defend China" and to defend "the survival of Chinese socialism." That is a public pledge, on the record.

If the People's Republic of China is our principal adversary, and our intelligence agencies were funding bioweapons research at a PRC-run lab, the treason question is not rhetorical either.

The Managed World's Public Face

The people who colonized the West's institutions are now hosting the "World Decolonization Forum." It met last week in Turkey. It is organized by the Ivy League-educated daughter of Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Its stated 2026–2030 strategic plan is to move the centers of global civilization from Paris, London, Amsterdam, and New York to Istanbul, Jakarta, Abu Dhabi, Rabat, Cairo, and Gaza. Its named partners include Al Jazeera, Islamic academic centers, Global South research networks, Russian and Chinese universities, and American academics.

The named target of the forum is the United States of America.

Meanwhile John Thune and John Cornyn hold the filibuster. Everyone in Washington knows the filibuster gets nuked the second the Democratic Party wins back the Senate. The Democratic Party has publicly committed to expanding the Supreme Court or getting rid of it altogether. And Agenda 2030 does not require federal governments. It rules by regions. It invites mayors. Rahm Emanuel wrote a book about a future run by mayors. The insulation strategy is not accidental. It is architectural.

Why the Founders Built the Gridlock

America is not a democracy. It is a constitutional republic. The framers built the House and Senate to be elected in different fashions on purpose. They built a separately elected chief executive on purpose. They built the independent judiciary on purpose. They built the whole structure so that a small, well-organized minority faction could not impose an excess of legislation on the country in one election cycle.

Hamilton predicted it in Federalist No. 62. Justice Scalia used to say Americans should "learn to love the gridlock" — because it is the main protection of minorities. It always was. And it is the reason We the People still have leverage in a moment when the managerial class has captured almost every other institution.

What We the People Still Own

Forty-seven percent of Americans pay the taxes that fund every operation described in this piece. That is not a slogan. That is standing. The taxpayers of the United States of America have been looted, laundered, and lied to in endless wars for profit. Our country has been gutted, divided up, and handed to a managerial class that never once asked our permission.

The remedy is local. Run for school board. Read every AFT and NEA toolkit before your children do. Ask, on the record at your next board meeting, whether UNESCO or the World Economic Forum is a named partner in any pilot program in your district. Watch the SAVE database litigation. Support the small pharmacies, the small grocers, the small news outlets. Attend the county commission meetings. Call your state legislator by name. Ask the question we opened with — publicly, on the record, in front of your representatives — until someone answers it.

Our rights come from God, not government. Which is why the architects of the managed world do not want God in this country. They cannot control a people whose rights are not on loan.

Frequently Asked Questions

If the border was engineered on purpose, why isn't anyone being charged?
Because the same intelligence community, media, and lawfare network that engineered it is the one that decides who gets charged. That is the structural problem. That is why the remedy has to come from the states, from grand juries, from state attorneys general who are still accountable to voters, and from We the People filing the class action the taxpayers of the United States are entitled to file.

Is calling the "open border" treason a legal claim or a rhetorical one?
Both. Treason under Article III is narrow — levying war or adhering to enemies. Sedition is broader. Conspiracy to defraud the United States is broader still. When you take public officials working with the People's Republic of China, funding bioweapons research at a CCP-run lab, engineering a decade-long migration pipeline, and lying under oath about the border being secure, the statutory questions are not rhetorical.

How does Norm Eisen keep operating out in the open?
Because the institutions he uses reward him for it. The New York Times is not embarrassed to call him "the attorney general of the resistance." He is not hiding. He is winning. And nothing in the current Trump DOJ has moved to disrupt his operational network yet.

Why do you keep saying "documentary history"?
Because that is what this is. Every claim in this piece traces back to on-camera recordings, congressional testimony, USAID line items, DHS transcripts, and named investigations. The sources are there. This is not speculation.

What is the single most useful thing I can do this week?
Show up to your next school board meeting. Read whatever curriculum the AFT or NEA has proposed for your district. Ask specifically whether UNESCO or the World Economic Forum is a named partner in any pilot program. Bring the printed materials. Ask on the record. Local action is where this republic is either lost or restored.
