Thank you Cmdr. Smith for continuing to shine a light on this national disgrace. It should be obvious to all, the Democratic Party is no more than a criminal enterprise.
The recent standoff in Carpinteria and Camarillo with ICE Agents received national coverage and serves as an embarrassment to our communities.
BTW, could it be a Federal arrest warrant is coming for Carbajal, by his deliberately doxxing of a Federal Agent resulting in their injury? How is it he is not already in custody?
Great article Bob, very informative. I knew things have been going sideways with our tax dollars and NGO‘s for a long time. You explain it so concisely and make it fit into exactly what’s happening and how it is affecting our everyday lives. I really hope This article reaches a huge number of Californians and we can start to turn this political nightmare around. I will be forwarding this to family and friends for their perusal. Thanks again for the brilliant piece.
Thank you, Commander Smith, thank you. Bob, you know Justin Shores and here he is on zoom brilliantly explaining why what they are doing at Carp City Council is so wrong:
Note that the Board President, Laura Capps, left the dais just as Justin Shores commenced speaking, returning only upon his conclusion. The only time she did so throughout the hours of public comment.
Email her and let her know your thoughts. She always states "all opinions are "welcome" and will be heard". As my Supervisor we had a very unsafe issue arise near my community. I worked with the Supervisors for 2 years to remedy it. Greg Harte did nothing but have his staff try to send me in different directions. Laure Capps came to my attention right away. My contacting the County Sheriff's Commander, the CHP and Supervisor Capps we were able to stop the "camper camp" growing on Calle Real.
I will be emailing Supervisor Capps my question about the under aged children working at this facility.
As a history major I found the flood of illegals to be informative. Mr. Smith is correct regarding census counts and control of the House. Should there be an amendment to count only US Citizens? It would dramatically change what and how the Democrat Party operates.
It would also encourage those who are green cards to apply for citizenship.
Sliding to transportation, CAB has complained repeatedly over the funding of NGO's who are supposed politically neutral. In fact they have been and continue to be PAC's. e.g. The bike boys have repeatedly stated under pressure the Safe Routes to School programs have not increased bike use for elementary and Jr. High kids.
Literally 10's of thousands annually are wasted. But when it comes to elections who is forefront and active promoting their benefactors? Of course those who promise more taxpayer money for who they get money from.
For decades SRS was taught by the local police. It was always a big deal when the local officer would show with slides and of course the stickers. It removed any aspect of politics. It promoted friendship and acceptance of the police as a friend / helper. Most importantly the kids paid attention. The cost??? Far less because it was part and is part of community outreach already in their funding.
CAB sees repeatedly NGO's with political money for voter influence continuing to pocket money for supposed community benefit. It is not a subtle wink here is your money. It has to stop. The only way it will stop is when ethics returns to those who are elected.
Excellent work exposing and exposing the extortion exerted by those in political office both at the local and state level. It’s time for change in California.
Thank you for this article sir. To have our Congressman Dox an Agent and injure him is so frustrating to watch.
People in this elite coastal town are not even appalled by the fact that children were found,by the way next to a rapist,and may have been trafficked. They are in total denial of the facts. As I read somewhwre else it's political theater,reflection and as you stated intented to keep these illegal immigrants for Congressional seats and votes.
My husband,a legal immigrant,has never gotten any freebies from the government and has worked hard and paid taxes every year,yet we are seeing more freebies dolled out to the illegal immigrants with our tax dollars.
The uninformed folks are saying there wasn't a warrant but there were actually 2 warrants, signed off by a judge prior to the operation due to the seriousness of it.
I hope arrests can be made and officials can stop with the rhetoric as that is what is making our communities divided and unsafe
I read this violation of human rights article titled "The Immigration Corruption Complex"
By Bob Smith, Commander, U.S. Navy (Retired) and I quote from same>
"Let’s stop pretending this is about helping poor migrants escape hardship. If that were true, these same politicians would be furious about child labor and trafficking. Instead, they cover for it. Aside from the apparent use of low-wage labor for wealthy donors and money funneled to favored NGOs, there’s a larger political game at play."
Retired Commander Bob Smith sounds like my 8 Walther Uncles and 2 Bogert Uncles who served during WWII. I am named after my Grandfather Colonel Howard Z. Bogert. All of my military family members saw the utter Horror of WWII. They could not now endure the destruction of our Country. It is much worse than Commander Bob Smith is telling us in his article.
The State of California and Santa Barbara So-Called-Leaders have concealed major Immigration Fraud Cases that involve Terrorism, Espionage and Transnational Criminal Organizations.
The FBI embedded into Santa Barbara in the spring of 2015 where their agents risked their
lives investigating the worse crimes imaginable. I know since I saw this first-hand.
You want to degrade the Federal Agents go-ahead but you have a much safer Community now.
I quote retired Commander Bon Smith. "In California, politics comes before kids. And the system here is built to protect donors, non-profits, and demographics, not justice… or kids."
What did FBI Director Patel and DD Bongino say? Both have been here ..............
"If you harm our children, you will be given no Sanctuary"
"There is no place we will not come to hunt you down"
"THEY KNOW EVERYTHING AND THEY SEE EVERYTHING." The Dem FBI knows where I am at all times. They've got the house bugged ... don't even bother looking for the stuff. Definitely have hacked my computer and go as much as scrambling my message to some people I've sent emails to. It's finally time to sue the scoundrels. One advantage I have on the FBI is they aren't the sharpest tack in the box.
Mfr., thanks for the insightful article. The local media is also partly to blame in that they focus on the action itself rather than why the action occurred. It was first reported that these juveniles were somehow looking for their parents, not that they were working at the operation. It’s interesting also that it was never reported that California had its own investigation in process. Carbajal is just a mouth piece for whatever his Dem puppet masters want him to spew. Oh btw I think you left out our recently departed chief cannabis slimer Das Williams. Keep it moving forward, cheers.
"It" couldn't be said any clearer. Your concise summary of this issue should make the hair of our readers stand on end. Thank you for taking the time to set the record straight. I knew it was time to call in the military 😉 And thank you for your service. Blessings
“Rather than fix roads or restore police funding, your local leaders prioritized protecting state and federal crimes, the political network that profits from it, and the system that enables child trafficking”
And this:
“This is a modern-day three-fifths compromise, but now it’s five fifths. In the 1800s, slave states inflated their political power by counting enslaved people who couldn’t vote as three-fifths of a person. Today, states like California do the same, counting millions of undocumented immigrants who also can’t vote to preserve congressional districts and Electoral College clout.”
Great Article, worst of all is that our government has partnered with rogue NGOs in trafficking 300,000 children, our most precious resource…these people are sick…
Bob, thanks for the great article. Das Williams and Lavignino were doing the bidding of Farrar, to the extent that Santa Barbara County has more acres of cannabis than any other county in Ca. Also, the numbskull, Roy Lee, was elected because of the odious smell for this and other cannabis farms in Carpinteria. So what does he do when given the chance, he defends the farm. I hope his constituents remember this.
It is so tragic to have this local example of grift and graft spread across the world as another example of California complicity with the Agenda. Of course anyone who eats at a restaurant knows the people washing dishes and doing food prep in the back are probably illegals, and just hopes they are not infected with drug-resistant TB. And driving by the numerous taco trucks and roadside food stands, who are never required to adhere to the inspections that the Health Department requires of brick and mortar restaurants, are the employees indentured to the cartels? How about those guys with the gasoline powered leaf blowers, operating with impunity. We are surrounded by a two-tier system that has tilted in favor of this useful underclass, as the middle class is taxed to pay and pay. As a childless Cat Lady I resent paying for schools unable to bring the students up to competency standards, or prepare them to be citizens. And I am statistically aware that when there are the annual automobile accidents on my street block, smashing into the parked cars of residents, in all but one case the car drivers exited the vehicle and yelling to each other in Spanish ran off down the hill, abandoning the unregistered vehicle. Leaving my neighbors to pursue the uninsured motorist coverage we all must pay for. Every day our lives are degraded and impacted in small ways by the collusion of Government and this Invasion.
Carbajal, Rouse, Capps, Lee, et. al. was an embarrassment on the Local and National stage---out with them all please!
I thought Lee would be the change we need but he turns out to be a puppet for Capps.
Why would he be a puppet for Capps? Because they vote similarly?
She tells him what to do and what to vote for.
You are describing a puppet - I know what that is. I'm wondering what Lee's motivation is for being her puppet. Or maybe that's just the way he votes?
I think because he's new and inexperienced. She helped him win,so maybe that's it
That's what I read somewhere. I liked him previously because he stood on his own and didn't follow the others.
We will see what happens,I guess.
Yep, we'll see what happens.
Not one politician is conservative our supports it. I had thought that Lee might but not sure about that anymore.
How do we get our voices heard and how do we get the support in this community?
Support Bob Smith for Congress!
Dubious at best.

Hello LT and all. Take a look at this News Release sounds like CALI
https://x.com/nicksortor/status/1945883170928562273
The Local Police were helping the Immigration Fraud Ring.
They all got busted. Who is worse, the Immigration Fraud Ring
or the local Police who aided them.
We can hope.Maybe Farar is singing like a bird to save his skin and bring down the whole house of cards.
Absolute truth Thank you for shining a light on the real issues involved in the illegal alien invasion

She's just awful. So was her father and mother. Unfortunately, she's my County Supervisor.
Email her and let her know your thoughts. She always states "all opinions are "welcome" and will be heard". As my Supervisor we had a very unsafe issue arise near my community.

Let your voice be heard!
I thought she was anti Cannabis?
Great points
Everything you said, has badly needed to be said. Thank you for putting this concise column into the wider public arena. Excellent analysis.

California and Santa Barbara are both utterly Corrupted.
Howard Walther, Member of a Military Family
"You want to degrade the Federal Agents go-ahead but you have a much safer Community now." The FBI operates on different levels, stay tuned.
Bill you and I are old engineers and probably agree on most things.
I know you have had serious problems in SB as I. Both of us have
left, actually driven out, because SB and CALI ARE NOT SAFE.
As you say "The FBI operates on different levels, stay tuned."
You and I know about C3I and its deployment since we worked
at Defense Contractors and I worked in "The Field" so to say
actually "At Sea" surveilling everything that moved. Well, for good
or bad the FBI has it all, everything the US Military has.
In a word, THEY KNOW EVERYTHING AND THEY SEE EVERYTHING.
"THEY KNOW EVERYTHING AND THEY SEE EVERYTHING." The Dem FBI knows where I am at all times. They've got the house bugged ... don't even bother looking for the stuff. Definitely have hacked my computer and go as much as scrambling my message to some people I've sent emails to. It's finally time to sue the scoundrels.
