Immigration is a hot-button topic for many nations around the world, and especially in the United States. The Angel Island Immigration Station Foundation is one organization that not only seeks to preserve the history of immigration through Angel Island, but also to steward a culture that recognizes the complexities of immigration and works to build a community of safety and belonging. Ed Tepporn is the Executive Director of the Angel Island Immigration Station Foundation, and in this conversation excerpt, he and Charlton discuss the legacy of Angel Island and the nuances of what immigration means to this country now and in the future.

From Chinatown to Every Town: How Chinese Immigrants Have Expanded the Restaurant Business in the United States (University of California Press, 2024) by Dr. Zai Liang explores the recent history of Chinese immigration within the United States and the fundamental changes in spatial settlement that have relocated many low-skilled Chinese immigrants from New York City's Chinatown to new immigrant destinations. Using a mixed-method approach over a decade in Chinatown and six destination states, sociologist Dr. Liang specifically examines how the expansion and growing popularity of Chinese restaurants has shifted settlement to more rural and faraway areas. Dr. Liang's study demonstrates that key players such as employment agencies, Chinatown buses, and restaurant supply shops facilitate the spatial dispersion of immigrants while simultaneously maintaining vital links between Chinatown in Manhattan and new immigrant destinations. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In 1880, the Chinese were the biggest group of immigrants in the western U.S. But Sinophobic sentiments crystallized into racist policies and eventually the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. The rationale was that banning Chinese laborers would boost job opportunities for U.S.-born workers. Today, an economist explains how the Chinese exclusion laws affected the economies of western states and what it says about our current debate over immigration and jobs.Read the working paper co-authored by Nancy Qian.A digital scan of the photo album in the California Historical Society's collections is available here.For more on this period of history, check out At America's Gates: Chinese Immigration during the Exclusion Era, 1882-1943 by Erika Lee.Related episodes:What's missing in the immigration debate (Apple / Spotify) For sponsor-free episodes of The Indicator from Planet Money, subscribe to Planet Money+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.

Much like Angel Island, the project, Angel Island, the place, is a point of entry, connecting many visitors to a history they know nothing about––and reminding some of a traumatic past they'd rather forget.  Del Sol Quartet violist Charlton Lee and collaborators draw audiences into the world of Angel Island, a tranquil state park in San Francisco Bay dotted with winding trails and a campus of restored wooden buildings that once served as a processing station, interrogation hub, and detention center for mostly Asian immigrants between 1910 and 1940.  What is the island like today, and what may life have been like for the 500,000 newly arrived individuals and families who landed here a century ago in search of a better life? And what is the emotional legacy of the stories that may never have been told from one generation to the next? This conversation contains brief, graphic mentions of suicide. Please take care when engaging with the episode.

Welcome to Angel Island. With stunning views of San Francisco Bay and lush hiking trails, the island is nestled between the promise of the Golden Gate Bridge and California's sun-soaked mainland coast. But between 1910 and 1940, hundreds of thousands of Asians arriving at the Angel Island Immigration Station faced separation, interrogation, and often deportation under the longstanding Chinese Exclusion Act.  The ghosts of Angel Island, however, endure. Poems carved into the soft wooden walls of the detention barracks give voice to long-remembered frustration, humiliation, and loneliness of the immigrants detained  there. These inscriptions in Chinese calligraphy link that shameful past to our present immigration debate, bringing history into the reality of our current lives. In Part One, violist and founding member of the Del Sol Quartet, Charlton Lee, introduces both Angel Island's history and the creatives behind The Angel Island Project. A collaboration between Del Sol and composer Huang Ruo, this haunting oratorio for string quartet and chamber choir weaves together poetry and music in a poignant, powerful expression of history, hope, and humanity.  Part One Features:  Charlton Lee, Del Sol Quartet violist Huang Ruo, Composer and conductor Kathryn Bates, Del Sol Quartet cellist Hyeyung Sol Yoon, Del Sol Quartet violinist Ben Kreith, Del Sol Quartet violinist Ed Tepporn, Executive Director, Angel Island Immigration Station Foundation Andi Wong, Teaching Artist and Arts Advocate Genny Lim, Poet, Playwright, Performer, Pioneer   RESOURCES  & LINKS Huang Ruo Angel Island Immigration Station Angel Island Immigration Station Foundation Immigrant Voices Oral History Project Island: Poetry and History of Chinese Immigrants on Angel Island  Genny Lim The Last Hoisan Poets ArtsEd4All The Chinese Historical Society Of America William & Flora Hewlett Foundation UC Berkeley Global Urban Humanities Initiative   LEARN MORE https://www.delsolquartet.com/podcast Del Sol Quartet on Spotify Facebook Instagram YouTube   CREDITS Hosted by Charlton Lee Produced by Andrea Klunder, The Creative Impostor Studios, Charlton Lee, Kathryn Bates, Hyeyung Sol Yoon, Ben Kreith Story Editor: Andrea Klunder Sound Design: Andrea Klunder Technical Director & Post Production Audio: Edwin R.

The influx of Chinese nationals crossing the U.S. southern border has sparked significant concern among security analysts and policymakers, marking a stark shift in the demographics of illegal immigration into the United States. In just the first few months of 2024, nearly 19,000 Chinese nationals have been apprehended, a figure that is on pace to dwarf the total from the previous year. This surge is notable not only for its sheer volume but also for the potential national security implications it carries, given the tense relations between the U.S. and China. With a history of espionage and the theft of military and economic secrets, the increase in Chinese nationals entering the U.S. illegally poses a multifaceted challenge. This situation highlights the complexity of immigration issues and underscores the need for a balanced approach that ensures national security while addressing the humanitarian aspects of migration. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/darien-dunstan3/message

Lone Fir Cemetery is one of the oldest continuously operating cemeteries in Portland. It also serves as a painful reminder of the racist and exclusionary treatment of Chinese immigrants who first arrived in Oregon in the mid-1800s, working as miners, merchants and other laborers. From the 1860s to the 1920s, roughly 2800 Chinese immigrants were buried in a section of Lone Fir known as Block 14. Ledgers were used to record the names of many of the people who were buried there so that the remains could be dug up and the bones sent to China for reburial in ancestral villages and towns. By the late 1940s, Multnomah County officials claimed that all remains at Block 14 had been repatriated. But they hadn’t, according to an archaeological survey commissioned by the county in 2005 which found evidence of human remains at the site.  Today, Block 14 is a bare field with no permanent reminder of its history or significance to the Chinese American community. But Metro, the regional government agency which owns the cemetery, is attempting to change that by using a voter-approved parks bond to build a memorial to honor the memory of people buried at Block 14. The project will also honor former patients from the state’s first psychiatric hospital, the Oregon Hospital for the Insane, nearly 200 of whom were buried at Lone Fir. Hannah Erickson, a communications specialist at Metro Parks and Nature, and Helen Ying, president of the Lone Fir Cemetery Foundation, join us to discuss the history of Block 14 and the two design proposals for the memorial.

Tim McVeigh only used 2 tons to blow up the Murrah Building.) …General Flynn There is an invasion of Chinese “Immigrants” flowing over the Southern Border. I believe most of their reasons are false. The liberal DS is touting it as a victory for what? A military takeover of the country. These are mostly military aged men. Former, Current Border Officials Slam Biden Admin For Touting Success Of Illegal Immigration Policies | The Daily Caller  “We're still in the middle of the worst self-inflicted border security crisis in our lifetime, and they're trying to claim victory,” Morgan added.  Border authorities aren't turning away any migrants using the CBP One phone app, one of the Biden administration's legal pathways, to claim asylum at ports of entry, DHS immigration official Blas Nunez Neto told reporters on a phone call Wednesday. ‘These Numbers Are Staggering': Chinese Migrants Continue To Surge Across Southern Border  | The Daily Caller  "Border Patrol encountered 3,182 migrants from China at the U.S.-Mexico border in April alone, according to CBP data.”  (I already shared a smaller portion of this but thought it important to get out to larger UBM so everyone can pray accordingly.)     “Let Me Show You Something”   Dana Coverstone (Notes in blue) 5/19/23 (David's notes in red) https://www.youtube.com/live/Fmmd82K8fQw?feature=share (This revelation seems to be the backlash of the DS against the supporters of the Alliance and the American people in general.)  Preface: Dana said that this dream lasted from April 17th to May 16th, almost a month, almost 30 days, it's been one the longest dreams he's had.    The dream began with me sitting in the top of a very tall tree, looking down on fog and mist that hung over the entire nation. It was covering over Canada and Mexico as well. It did not cover the water, just this nation, only the land. (It appears as a fog but is man-made and controlled. Prevailing winds would remove it.) I can see the physical land covered in fog. It covered Canada and Mexico as well, but it looked like the fog was churning. It was moving. It was staying in place over the United States of America, (Man-made and controlled) but not over Mexico or Canada. It reminded me of a locust swarm that you can see like in a National Geographic photo. (The locusts in Joel 2 were the Assyrian army that was able to take down apostate northern 10 tribes but not the Bride, Jerusalem.) It was just moving effortlessly, but it was also frothing. It was like the steam coming off of hot coffee or hot cocoa or hot tea or something. But what it covered was thick and you cannot see anything below what you were seeing from the top of the fog. (True fog skips dry areas and manifests over damp watery places.) And as I was pondering the moving of the fog, is when the man appeared to me, and I believe the man is Jesus or represents the Holy Spirit at times, but he came out and he simply said, “Let me show you something.” And he grabbed my hand, and we stepped out into the air. Because I was in a tall tree, looking down, I was kind of hanging, you know, like holding on to a limb with my feet just looking at it. I'm thankful that God sees all the things that are going on. He knows what's coming, he knows what's happening. And I just had that sense as I was watching that I was about to be instructed or told some things. We descended down through the fog, we were not flying, it was like we were walking. The fog seemed to be very evil and very intentional. That it appeared to try to reach out and grab me with these eerie ethereal arms. (It is a menace to man and will kill many.) It was almost like the fog was alive. (It is alive to spread disease) It was dark, it was evil, but it was trying to grab hold…   The man led me on until he reached the ground and then he said, “Look up.” When he said that, I realized that the fog was gone, but I could see jets that were flying in all directions and it appeared to be almost 7:00 or 7:30 at night. It was dusk. (How often we have seen this same thing? Chemtrails.) The lights were going off as people were getting ready for bed. Darkness was hitting; it was almost like I could see traffic had stopped and people were home going to bed and to get ready for work the next day. (Poisoned as they slept.)  So I'm watching all these jets that are going back and forth, north, south, east and west, flying in all directions. It was obviously dusk and the lights were going out. And that's when I realized that I heard this loud hissing and every single jet was spraying something out of the exhaust. (Now we would call these things chemtrails. And I've discussed some of that.) And the jets flying north would be going north for a while. Then suddenly turn around and come back and spray the same way. The ones going east would go east for a couple miles and then come back and it was like regional. It wasn't like one jet going all the way north and south, it was not just east and west. It was like this in every state, there were jets flying over in every state, every region, every area, in that sense. And the jets flying east, and west were doing what the ones going north were doing. They kept blanketing the country in whatever it was spraying. The time passed and the jets disappeared. (In A.A. Allen's vision he saw the same thing and then people started dropping dead everywhere in the U.S.) Then I saw people getting up leaving their houses and going to work. So all of this stuff was being done at night. And the sense that I have about it was a whole lot of evil that's going on right here and right now in our world. This spraying was going on at night when no one was aware. No one was watching and no one was awake. Almost as if there was some elite and corporate plan to poison the nation. (It's a Satanic depopulation cult.)  Once again the fog was over Mexico and Canada, but it was not moving anywhere except the United States of America. (Also, I realized that this is probably a real conspiracy, these things that were going on, the things that we're seeing in that regard. And it's all happening at night, so nobody sees them.) People are getting up for school, getting on the buses and going to school. And then the next thing that I see happening is this, I was standing in Times Square watching those jumbotron television screens with a breaking news item of a major outbreak of a new virus. Now, the timeline that I could tell in the dream is late summer, early fall as the news broadcast we're talking about this.   The World Health Organization was laying out guidelines that must be followed regardless of constitutions or national law. (This is to kill the population and make money for the DS pharmaceutical companies.) Those are the two words they used, “regardless of constitutions or national law”. There were military tanks and Hummers, that started patrolling as the announcements were being made. And I said to the man that the jets appeared to be the source of the medical issue.   The man nodded and said, “There's more to see.” And then we suddenly appeared on the southern border. (So here I saw that the news was complicit and almost an accomplice with what was going on and what was being said. Obviously somebody was behind this; it was happening at night. And so who knows if that's the cause (of the disease). All we realize is that there is something sinister happening in our world and it's being allowed. It's being pushed probably by those in power.) Then he said to me, “There's more to see.”    Suddenly I'm on the southern border. I saw an enormous line of volcanoes that seemed to have sprung up overnight and they were just on the border. They covered from the western point of California all the way to Texas. Literally these were volcanos on the border. (HAARP has the ability to awaken volcanoes and possibly to create them over underground lava flows that flow through huge tunnels made on the border by the DS nuclear boring machines. But also a volcano can represent Hell's demons coming out upon the earth to join with the wicked enemies. Rev 9:2-3 And he opened the pit of the abyss; and there went up a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. 3 And out of the smoke came forth locusts upon the earth; and power was given them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.)   They were very tall, they shadowed the ground. And I cannot emphasize this enough. It was volcanoes on the border, and they were (shooting) hundreds of miles up into the air. The ground was shaking, seemingly creaking, and the volcanoes trembled, and they started erupting magma and lava. And then suddenly the entire border shook and I saw the volcanoes appear to grow and the ground below them looked like it was torn. Now, like if you've ever seen a tree that gets knocked over in the wind or damaged by a tornado; there was just a little area of the of earth that was open there. Okay, so the volcanoes tip backwards, they're still spewing lava and all these other things. But there was a hole where the volcanoes came up along the entire southern border. (This can only be man-made, like the border itself.)  At that moment all sorts of people dressed like normal migrants came running out and they were sprinting. (This would be in addition to those who have already come across the border and those anarchists and radical muslims already inside the US. And the left wing military faction. It has been reported that millions of migrants are below the border waiting and many are military age men, and also there are many Communist Chinese there to support their DS. MS-13 has been an arm of the DS military too.) They were running as hard and as fast as they possibly could to get into the country. As they ran, they were taking off backpacks and they were pulling out weapons and they were putting them together. There were weapons that can be folded down. They were unfolding and they were pulling them out. They were putting clips in, but they're doing it as they were running. They were running as hard as they could.   The people in the American side were watching the eruptions, watching the magma and the lava and the smoke and the ash cloud and they didn't even notice the people that were running towards them. They pointed to the sky making all sorts of faces and making noises. Almost as if they were watching fireworks, they were just, like “Oh wow! Look at that.” And they pointing over there, and over here and saying things, like, “Look at that!” They were looking up and they did not see any of the people that were rushing towards them. And now the runners were running up and they were shooting. They were teaming up on people, they were storming properties, but they took nothing.   When they went into the homes and the houses, they took nothing, they just shot people. They killed the people. They sprinted on and they were moving with skilled intent and military precision. They would come together to a house, they would go in, and you would see gunfire; they run out, not taking a thing. They were brutal. They showed no mercy. And there were some that carried samurai swords and they were beheading many people along the way. (What I saw was this, that we don't have an immigration issue, we have an invasion going on and what you don't know will kill you. People are looking at the wrong things. People are seeing the whole wrong issue of what's going on out there. Instead of looking at what's really happening and seeing what's really happening and the danger that it is.  We just kind of push it off and think, “Oh, Washington will fix that or whatever.”)   I saw death and destruction. I saw danger. I saw chaos on the border and it was rushing towards us. It was rushing north. This was on purpose, a “dismantling” and this was also on purpose, a “distraction”.    Back at Times Square, the broadcaster was informing citizens that spectacular eruptions on the southern border were getting people out of their homes to watch. So now they're saying, “Hey, hey, folks, you need to go out of your homes and watch these incredible magma fields and watch these incredible volcanic eruptions that are going on. Go outside and watch.” He also encouraged anyone within 100 miles of the border, and that's exactly what he said. He said, “If you live within 100 miles of the border, you need to go outside immediately and see if you can see them from where you are.” (On foot they could not go very far without stealing vehicles from their victims. Maybe 100 miles before the volcanoes were out of view and their attack was discovered and people and the military would take them down.) And I said to the man, that newsman is trying to get people outside so they will be killed and the man nodded. And then he said, “There's more.” (I think all of us know that the news media is complicit with the lies that are coming out of our leadership.)  Suddenly we're standing outside the Capital of Washington, DC. Then I could hear all kinds of noise going on inside the Capitol building. And someone yelling with a bullhorn. (Now look, a bullhorn is just a cheap way to get attention, so if you don't have a sound system or good balance, or stereo or speakers, you use a bullhorn. It's cheap communication.) But these people are talking about taking the country back (Obviously from the Alliance and Trump) and making people listen.   There were screams that seemed very demonic and just wild coming out of humans. It was like growls and screams and cries. Demonic, almost like banshees. And there was a fence outside the Capitol building. They surrounded it. But suddenly police and military came and they tied ropes, like they made loops and threw them up on the tops of the fence, like a noose. And they grabbed the top parts of the fence and they began to pull them down. They were pulling with all their might pulling the fences down. They bent the fences over. They didn't push them out of the way they didn't knock them down. They pulled them down.  (We have been told that military tribunals are being held there at this time. Hence the fence.)  And then just as suddenly, the doors of the Capitol pushed open and the congressmen, congresswomen, senators, faces of people I recognized, people who are in power, leadership, elected officials at the federal level. (Satanists, the head of the dragon devouring the people.) They all came rushing out into the streets and they were jumping and leaping and stepping over those fences. (This could just symbolize that the leftist DC leadership, some under investigation will escape and will join and be behind this invasion against the people. As far as I know they are not meeting in the Capitol anymore.) And they were armed. They were armed with guns and clubs. And they began attacking and beating any citizen that was close. (Symbolizing their abuse of the people.)  They left this extremely bloody trail. And they pursued people, until the people became so exhausted, they dropped from exhaustion, and then they beat them to death. I watched elected officials beat these people to death. (Now I do not think this is what's going to (physically) happen. I think the whole point of it is the people who were there, were the ones that make the laws, the ones who provide for those things out there.) This is horrific because they were beating people to death in the streets and it was getting darker. (Through more demon possession and death.)  It was horrific to the point I said to the man, “Why are our elected officials are doing this to the people?” Well, this time he didn't move, he didn't nod, he didn't move his head at all, but he said, “There's more to see.” And it suddenly became very, very quiet. (Folks, we have laws that are changing and shifting, we have people that believe that men can be pregnant, that men can be women, and women can be men and everything else. And we know better. We absolutely know better. We're starting to see culture believe every single lie that's being pushed out there and then we have new laws are being passed to protect those lies. Think about that.)   The Congress began to beat these people to death. They were attacking ordinary citizens. I saw families taking pictures outside the capital who were just pummelled and beaten down by people and the elected officials who were running, were covered in blood from the people that they had beaten to death. (Meaning they are guilty of the blood of the people.) And they just kept on going, looking for somebody else to attack and beat on. The man didn't move his head when I said, “Why are elected officials doing this to the people?” He didn't move his head at all. He just simply said, “There's more to see.” (Well, obviously, we know what this is. We know the government is corrupt, we know the government is compromised, everything it is and was and it's going to be. It's not to be trusted, it's not going to be a help to us at all.) (And the Alliance has gathered all their crimes to prosecute and in many cases execute them as is going on now. So they are desperately trying to save their lawless lives.)  Continuing with the dream, the difference in what I just heard with the screams for help and the people running was significant. Now everything is quiet. So, I've seen the jets spraying, I've seen the volcanoes erupting and the distraction of the volcanoes going off, and all the people were watching, the people were running out from the border and they were headed out towards anyone they could kill getting to America. And they were headed north, folks. No one was headed South.    Then I was standing on the banks of a river early in the morning. It was early morning; it was quiet and if you're a morning person, you understand there's just a morning feel. There's a small amount of fog that began to dissipate and I can hear frogs croaking in the background. I hear fish jumping in the water. Suddenly, there was no noise at all. It became deathly quiet. I remember it being almost uneasy because it was so quiet. And then the man stood beside me quietly, and he pointed to his head. He did this twice. And he pointed across the river, so he taps on his head, taps near his ear twice and points across the river. So I walked to the edge of the river and I listened as intently as I possibly could, but I could hear nothing. So I began to strain to hear because I knew that the man had pointed twice and tapped his ear twice and making the point that he was telling me to listen.    Finally, I began to hear what sounded like muffled little cries. The fog continue to lift and I can see the sun shining and now I'm looking at a little country church. And it was at the end of this long gravel road. But there were no cars parked near this church. And I could hear people inside that little church. The windows were open and I can hear them crying out. And there was just a wisp of fire, just like if you got a fire that's almost dying. There's a little wisp of a fire that was on the roof of that little church and it's burning. l could see it in the sun. (Fire on the roof represents revival of the Holy Spirit Acts 2:3-4 And there appeared unto them tongues parting asunder, like as of fire; and it sat upon each one of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Also in  A.A.Allens vision he heard the sounds of singing and rejoicing and there was a people who were spared in the cleft of the rock and apparently in revival.)    It's a little country church and the windows are open and this long gravel road and but no cars. So I immediately got the idea that nobody drove here. (We have dreams of an EMP hitting the US, which would eliminate the vehicles and most of our military. For there to be any success any planned invasion as we are seeing would likely start with an EMP.)  Everybody walked down this long gravel road. They walked down this uneasy gravel road and they came down there with one reason; that reason was to pray. They were crying out. They were repenting, they were calling out names of elected officials. I heard governors' names. I heard senators' names. I heard congressmen's names. I heard names of leaders in this country. I heard those people calling out their names and asking God to expose the corruption in them, asking God that they would repent. They were asking God for conviction to come to their hearts and lives and their mind. They were praying that corruption would be exposed. That was the highlight of it and they were praying in tongues.  Something else that caught my attention, I heard them speaking, specifically in English and in Spanish. I kept hearing certain Spanish words. And they were praying with a passion. It was refreshing and as I walked closer to the building in this dream, I began to see the people inside. They were packed and there was no walking room. These people were packed together and they were praying and they were praying with passion and there was fire in their prayers and they were going, I mean they were going at it. If you have ever been in a Pentecostal prayer time where the focus is on God and God's presence is there, the fire is hot. This is what I'm saying, it was that type of atmosphere.    There's a table stand with a globe, like a little pillar, with a globe, like one of the things you see in the school, and you could spin it. It was standing on a pillar near the pulpit and there were people who laid their hands on that globe and they were praying for the nations. They were calling out for kings and queens and prime ministers and leaders and officials and presidents. They were calling out the leaders of nations. I heard Zelinski's name. I heard Putin's name. I heard King Charles' name. I heard Trudeau's name. I heard the Mexican president's name. I heard different places from all people who were just praying and this whole room was full. Nobody was talking or looking around. They were engaged in prayer the whole time they were there. They were praying intently. They were focused. There was passion, there was fire.   They laid their hands on that globe and they were praying for the nations, and they were praying for those nations by name. And I began to pray on the outside of the window, and the man said to go tell them he was pleased with their passion, but they must not stop. This was an absolute determined cry on God's behalf, to tell the truth. Don't stop praying. Don't stop praying! Don't think it's too bad. It's too ugly. Don't think it is. We've got to keep praying, folks. And then he said this to me, “Prayer is the most effective way to push back the darkness that is both here and is coming.” (Nobody has to tell us it's going to get worse, we know that it is.)   After he said, “Prayer is the most effective way to push back, the darkness is both here and coming,” He then breathed towards me. Now I'm next to the building looking at him. The building is behind me, the church is behind me with a little fire on the top. He breathed towards me, and it went past me and it felt like a hot breeze on a hot August summer day. It was hot! I mean, it was hot to the touch. This hot breath goes by me. It went through me and even in the dream, and even at night it felt like the hair of my arm was standing up, because of what had just gone past me, the Breath of God! And when it got to the building, it set the entire church on fire. There was fire there before, but when he breathed on it, that's when the fire erupted and it was like the burning bush that was not consumed and even looking in the windows, you can see the fire was inside the building. So they've been praying with passion, passion, passion, a little bit of fire on top. The fire of what Jesus breathed towards us, or towards that church of people praying, it erupted! It was like when you hear that WOOSH sound? That was what it was like.  And people were praying with fire and they were praying loud and they got louder and louder and louder and louder! It was exciting! I have a lot of different emotions when I'm having the dreams. In the dream, it was like, “This is good! This is powerful, Lord! I knew this is what I want for my life!” I turned to look at the man now instead, because I had been looking at the building that had just erupted into flame and burning. I turned to look at the man, but he was gone. But I heard his words, and he said, “I am with you church. I am with you. And there is more to do. Verily, verily, I say unto you.” When he tapped his ear twice and pointed, I knew he was saying, “Church, listen, you need to pray.”       Overcomers and the Evil Army   Tianna Fire 5/21/23 (David's note in red)  I saw all the local brethren together worshiping, and they were all in the light and unity in Christ. I then saw an enormous army of evil spirits of all different kinds, hatred, murder, perversion, unbelief, witchcraft, unforgiveness and so very many more evil spirits. The evil spirits had an enormous variety of weapons and tactics. (What is also true is that these hordes of demons prefer to assault others in a host of wicked humans.)  There were waves of these evil spirits and there were so many it heavily outnumbered the brethren. (Job 10:17 Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, And increasest thine indignation upon me: Changes and warfare are with me. Psa 27:2-3 When evil-doers came upon me to eat up my flesh, Even mine adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell. 3 Though a host should encamp against me, My heart shall not fear: Though war should rise against me, Even then will I be confident.)  The evil army got closer and closer to the brethren, but there was this invisible wall and roof of protection around them. The evil spirits couldn't get into this individual house of protection. (Psa 91:1-3 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust. 3 For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence.)   But the evil spirits could see them (but were not able to touch them), and the evil spirits had such anger and unforgiveness to the brethren (Because they cannot accept that they are forever separated from God and their judgement is pending.) They were jealous of the brethren, because they could see that God loves them and God's grace on them and they could see Jesus in them. The evil spirits hate all of this and are pure evil.   The evil spirits tried to send fear to the brethren by making scary faces (Sometimes seen in the faces of their hosts. vain imaginations, dread, apprehension of evil.) and by trying to get them to doubt God, or by trying to make them think and feel themselves to be unworthy and unholy. (Rejection.) The evil spirits would try to intimidate the brethren by sending lies to cause fear from outside this invisible protection, but these unclean spirits were unsuccessful, because the brethren cast down all unholy thoughts, fears, rejection, doubt, unbelief, etc. (2Co 10:3-6 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh 4 (for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds), 5 casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ; 6 and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience shall be made full.)    The enemy could not do anything (faith in the promises bind the enemy) because the brethren ignored them. The brethren did not entertain or accept those thoughts and feelings. Instead, they kept their focus on, and being in Jesus, so they were completely protected, and the enemy was defeated. (NENT Eph 4:27 neither give place to the devil. Jas 4:7 Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you.)      End Time Dream: Man-Child In Training  Samuel Fire 5/25/23 (David's notes in red) I dreamed it was the end-times era. Everything was dry and dusty, and orange colored. (Orange often represents warning, danger or anarchy.) There were no trees or grass, and only dirt. (The wilderness)  Many people were missing and very few people inhabited the city. (The coming destruction will cause many to flee from the cities and to flee from man.) Many homes were vacant. Cars were left scattered everywhere. (People won't be driving their cars, possibly because of EMP, or because of the fuel shortages, loss of jobs, sickness from the JAB, businesses are closing, banks foreclosing, etc.)   Everything was collecting dirt and dust and had a thick layer on anything that had not been used. I was dressed in old clothes, with a rag for a scarf and an old baseball cap with ski-goggles to keep my eyes protected, and I was carrying a backpack. (Luke 17:28 Likewise even as it came to pass in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29 but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all: 30 after the same manner shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed. 31 In that day, he that shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and let him that is in the field likewise not return back.)  And Heb 12:1-2 Therefore let us also, seeing we are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.)  I went out because we needed food, even though my wife was very adept at making a big meal from very little ingredients. We now were running very low, and I reluctantly had to go out to source goods. My wife and son were safe and didn't need to go with me. So, I got ready in the early hours before sunrise, so I had as much time as possible to travel and get back home. (We all want to be ready before the Son/sun rises in the man-child, so we don't miss what God is going to do.)   I walked for a very long time, checking many buildings to see whether there were any groceries left in cupboards. I didn't find much, only a couple of can of beans. Along my journey I met a man. He was very cautious. His dress was like the biblical times but also wearing a jacket and a wide brimmed hat. He had a long beard and wore sunglasses. He didn't say very much but he was very friendly. (I asked the Lord who the bearded man is, and my finger was on a list of “sons” from Luk 3:24-38. I think the bearded man represents another brother in Christ, more mature in the ways of Jesus.)  The man led me to a shop, but it was not a typical store. There was barely anything, just a few shelves with hardly anything on them. The shop looked like it was a front for something else. The man then asked me what I was doing out here. I replied, “I'm out here for food. We rely on God for everything.” He said, “Hmm, okay.” (Act 7:11 Now there came a famine over all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.)  He then asked one unusual question, “Do you have anything that someone could use to identify you? I said, “I have my wallet.” He said, “Okay.” Then suddenly he said, “Now quickly, get down and pray in silence and don't move.” Then shortly after, a man with a bicycle entered the store. I saw to my side that this other man just stood there staring at me. Then he slowly moved through the store while walking his bike going past me. I saw him open up a secret door and he went through it and closed it behind him.(Hidden in plain sight)  The bearded man and I, got up from kneeling and I said, “There is a secret door here. There must be a secret base behind it.” The man said, “Yes.” I said, “But the door has no locks or password combo.” He said, “Yes, only those led by God will know where it is and would be able to come in.” (Rev 3:8 I know thy works (behold, I have set before thee a door opened, which none can shut), that thou hast a little power, and didst keep my word, and didst not deny my name.)  We went in, and it looked like a small group of maybe 11 or 12 people were in there talking. (12 is the number for the elect, 11 is the number of the elect without Judas.) They looked like they were leaders of refuges and had gathered for a meeting. The man I was with talked to them, and then he came back to me.  He sat me down at a desk and handed me a few sheets with interesting drawings. The drawings were about things required to give up, so you could be able to continue with God and if you had passed all the requirements on the first sheet, you could go on to the next sheet. After all these lists, the group deemed it good to be able to lead a group in a refuge. (1Ti 1:12 I thank him that enabled me, even Christ Jesus our Lord, for that he counted me faithful, appointing me to his service;  Mat 19:29 And every one that hath left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit eternal life.)   One of the refuge leaders started explaining about all these things, but I forget what they were, except for one that I remembered. As he went down the list, I called out and said, “This one is about lust.” He said, “Yeah. That's the one where so many fall away.” I said, “Wow, okay.” (Rev 12:4 And his tail draweth the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth.) I then asked the group, “What if someone turns up on the opposition; you know, a bad guy?” They said, “God will lead us and tell us when, where, and what to do.” (1Jn 4:1-2 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God.) Later, after we all had eaten, cleaned up and got into newer clothes, they handed me a bag of canned food to take home.   Then a couple, a man and woman, came in. They appeared to be nice and friendly and were dressed in modern clothes. They said they were just like us. I told the whole group what I thought about them, plainly stating, “They're government. So, what do you do about them?” The man then said, “How did you know that?” I said, “They clearly aren't like us and are pretending to get in.” (Gal 2:4 and that because of the false brethren privily brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:) The bearded man said, “God will tell us what to do. We are not worried about anything. If we have time, we can gather items and leave. If not, we leave with the shirt of our back and run. God has always protected us.”  Then the impersonating couple reached for a radio or phone and pressed a button. Suddenly I could hear that there were multiple cars driving up to the area. Everyone got up and rushed about and grabbed stuff and ran in different ways out of the base.  I went with the bearded man. We were running through streets and over fences etc. We were being chased by a car and were being shot at by the passenger in the car with a pistol. I became separated from the bearded man, and I ran to the right up an alley. When I came out the other side, I saw a white Mercedes in very good condition. I thought, “I wonder if this is unlocked and if I can use it?” I tried, and it opened. I exclaimed, “Praise God!” I jumped in turned it on first go and it sounded so smooth and powerful, and I drove off. (White vehicle represents power to the sanctified ones.)  I saw the bearded man from before; he was running along the fence line, so I drove to pick him up. Just afterwards the bad guy's car came again and started shooting at us again. I drove the car as the Spirit led me, taking corners like a pro race driver and they couldn't hit us or keep up with our speed. (Rom 8:12-14 So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh: 13 for if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.)  We had to go onto a main road to continue, and then an armoured tank, completely black in color, came up on the horizon towards us.  I thought, “Oh wow, That tank could blow us apart.” The bearded man said, “Never fear.” (Psa 56:2-4 Mine enemies would swallow me up all the day long; For they are many that fight proudly against me. 3 What time I am afraid, I will put my trust in thee. 4 In God (I will praise his word), In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; What can flesh do unto me?)  I immediately turned right, and I drove through fences and through yards and into an alley, and then behind many houses. We kept going past many larger homes with huge yards. Strangely, no one was home in any of the places. (The cities are prime targets for invaders and are under the most judgment from God according to the Word. People have left their homes and belongings and fled into the wilderness.) We then saw a drainage area on the side of the road for when if it rained too much and the area flooded. We drove into it and stopped. We both felt calm and knew no one could see us here.   Just then, in the natural, my phone made a noise and I woke up. (Be ready to answer the call to follow Jesus!)      UBM Wilderness Refuge  Tianna Fire 5/24/23 (David's notes in red) I dreamed that there were many people that wanted to go to the UBM refuge, but to get there they had to go through this difficult and dangerous wilderness (This is to test whether a person is ready to enter a refuge or needs more chastening in the wilderness. To the Israelites the wilderness was a filter to keep the wicked from entering the Promised Land. NENT Mat 7:13-14 Enter ye by the narrow gate: for wide and spacious is the way that leadeth unto the destruction, and many are they that enter thereby. 14 Because narrow the gate, and straitened the way that leadeth unto the life, and few are they that find it.)  There was a certain city, and on the outskirts of this city was a giant grassy terrain, and it went on further than you could see. It eventually led to snow and dessert areas also. There were many hills and mountains with caves too. But once you left the city, it was just this wilderness that you saw and no civilization. (Leaving the city of Babylon/Egypt of this world, would be trials and tribulations of the wilderness.)  Many people would come to this area to start their journey to UBM, and mostly people would come in groups, to try and help each other get there. Some people would get lost and were never found again, others would die from animal attacks or from the weather, while some people would return back to the city and only a few people ever made it to the UBM refuge. (Many people have moved here and have been tried and tested to see if they should be part of this holy Body of Christ. Some people never made it here. Several people who have come, have failed in their love tests and have not had a true desire for holiness and submission to Christ. 1Jn 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they all are not of us.)  I was coming from far away to get to this place, so I flew on a plane to this city, and then I was transported by a vehicle that was like a roller coaster to get to the starting point of the journey in the wilderness. (This represents the mountains and valleys.) The rollercoaster was very high off the ground, and it seemed very unstable, and it was completely packed with many people. (Isa 40:4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the uneven shall be made level, and the rough places a plain.)  The rollercoaster travelled fast through the city to the outskirts of the city and suddenly, the rollercoaster started going in circles so fast, and many people fell off the rollercoaster as the seatbelts and everything else was very unstable. (Rollercoaster rides have been used to type many up and down and back and forth trials of life and truly that is where many are headed.)  I held onto the seat with one hand and I almost slipped off, but I asked God for help and God supernaturally kept me from falling off, because naturally I should have fallen off. (NENT Rom 10:13 for, Whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.) The rollercoaster landed on the ground, and there were less than half of us left that were originally on the rollercoaster. (The great falling away.) We were now at the starting point of the journey to the UBM refuge.  We were advised to stick together, and we were given a map on how to get there. (A unity in one corporate Body of Christ.) The whole wilderness area was a gigantic size with different types of areas. (Around the World.)   We stayed together in a group the first day, following what the map said. Towards the evening we found a very run-down, tiny, ancient house. It was completely empty, and the ground inside was dirt, but it protected us from the weather and wild animals. (1Tim 6:8: but having food and covering we shall be therewith content.) We all slept on the floor in there, and heard many wolves howling outside.  I had a dream where God clearly said to me "The map they gave you was made by man and it is not the right instructions to get to UBM”.(This is like many are taught the Bible with carnal interpretations and wont arrive in the Kingdom.) I woke up and knew that I couldn't go any further with what the map said, and I prayed heavily, and God told me that the real way is the complete opposite direction to what the map said. He showed me the next step about where to go next. (Psa 32:8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will counsel thee with mine eye upon thee. Pro 3:5-6 Trust in Jehovah with all thy heart, And lean not upon thine own understanding: 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he will direct thy paths.)  When morning came, I told everyone what God showed me and only five of the people believed me. Everyone else continued to follow the map. Now it was me and five others and we stopped to seek God constantly to get the right directions. (What seemingly is true may be ear-tickling doctrine. All your ways need to be checked with Holy Spirit according to His Word.)   During the day we went through desert and rocky areas, and we ended in grassy terrain. It was now late evening, and we were to start going into desert terrain, but then God stopped me and said, "Don't continue anymore today, stay here tonight and continue tomorrow".  I obeyed and only two others believed me and stayed with me. The other three continued alone into the desert. One of the people that stayed with me said that if those others don't have faith in God to protect them and keep warm, they will freeze overnight. (Ecc 4:9-12 9 Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. 10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him that is alone when he falleth, and hath not another to lift him up. 11 Again, if two lie together, then they have warmth; but how can one be warm alone? 12 And if a man prevail against him that is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.)   We continued journeying through all different terrains, and a few times God led us into caves to keep warm, and one time he made the resources for a fireplace to appear. My faith kept increasing in the dream, and I got to a point where I believed that God would keep me warm even without a fire and God would protect me from wild animals. (God can do supernatural things through our faith in the promises of Christ.) One night, some hyenas came around us intimidating us, and one of the people with me was fearful and didn't believe God would protect him, so he was taken out. However, the remaining person and I believed, and we were kept safe, and the animals couldn't touch us.   It felt like weeks, maybe months of us walking through this wilderness, but God said we were almost there. It was hot one day, and the other person I was with became weary in his soul, and started becoming weak in spirit and gave into doubt and unbelief, and he died.   I was alone. I kept praying and going on where the Lord said to, and I eventually made it to the UBM area. I was greeted by Chuc, Winnie and Lakeisha. I gave them all a big hug and felt so much love and care from them. Winnie and Lakeisha helped clean me up and gave me clothes and food and they were all so kind. I went and sat on the couch next to the two women. Chuc was on another couch. In the dream he had a British accent and then he started to share his testimony about how he got to UBM. I woke up.      Angels Guide to Refuges Eve Brast - 7/15/08 (David's notes in red) ... It was dark outside and it seemed like we spent the night there. Suddenly, the next morning, late in the morning, a young man with short brown hair burst through the front glass door and braced it open with his foot and said very excitedly, "David said it's time to go to the wilderness!" We (our UBM study group) all hurried out into the parking lot with the kids and a supersonic noise got my attention. I thought it was a jet plane flying overhead. As I looked up into the sky there were no clouds and the sky was blue about 11:00 AM. I saw an arrow-shaped vapor trail just clearing the mall on my right, high up in the sky and flying overhead toward the left horizon. It went all the way around the world and then I watched it come up from the horizon ahead of me and I followed it overhead and turned around to watch it head down the horizon behind me, but it stopped 30 degrees up from the horizon and faced us. Then we realized it wasn't a jet but an angel. He had golden, curled hair and a simple white robe with a thin gold rope around his waist. He motioned with his right arm and forefinger to follow him in that direction. So, we all started to walk in that direction. Then I woke up.   (The arrow-shaped vapor trail cleared the roof of the mall from the east, heading west down past the horizon, around the world and came up the northern horizon and headed over our heads toward the southern horizon, then stopped 30 degrees from the southern horizon. Our UBM group then all began to walk toward the direction of the south, following the angel.) Our UBM group was located in the Dallas / Fort Worth area in Texas. (When the people of God left Egypt to go to the wilderness refuge from the beast they went south first and then went north to their Promised Land) I felt in the dream that this angel was showing multiple groups of people at the same time around the world where their refuges were.)   Note from David: It was an angel of God that guided Israel into the wilderness place of safety from the beast kingdom (Exo.12:37; 13:20; 14:19). I believe God's angels will do this for UBM and saints all over the world. This way only the right people will be there.  Also, there is another type of angel, or messenger, that will guide God's people to their wilderness refuge during the tribulation. Satellites are commonly called angels nowadays. Sky Angel is a satellite network. There is a road angel satellite navigation system. The military has had a program since 2004 called  Autonomous Nanosatellite Guardian Evaluating Local Space, or A.N.G.E.L.S., to watch over the U.S. There is also Digital Angel which has designed microchips readable from satellite for the beast system. Three angels in Rev.14:6-9 preach the Gospel, warn of judgment, the fall of Babylon, and the mark of the beast, from mid heaven... and all of this before the middle of the tribulation.   We believe the Lord would have us use satellite angels to reach the majority of the population of Earth with this same message and will guide some to the wilderness refuge. Satellites are also commonly called "birds". {Rev.12:13} And when the dragon saw that he was cast down to the earth, he persecuted the woman that brought forth the man [child]. {14} And there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness unto her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. See also Davids Will Preach The Word From Heaven. Refuge Ministry to the World     America, a Nation of Refugees Vincent Xavier - 7/10/08 Americans will be roaming through the streets. The Lord has shown this writer that America will be known as a NATION OF REFUGEES. People will be roaming to and fro from one city to another, seeking shelter and rest. The Lord said what we saw in New Orleans after the hurricane called Katrina hit will become a national reality. Just as those people fled from their destroyed city to other cities, so shall it be in the days ahead. Because of the several nuclear detonations, natural disasters and other terrorist-related incidents in major cities across America on the same day, millions will be wandering from sea to shining sea looking for a place of safety and rest. During this time of wandering people will become infected as biological and chemical weapons are released upon the population. Great food shortages and water shortages are going to cause rioting and looting in an unprecedented way. Great violence will emerge and a strong spirit of brutality will manifest. KATRINA IS THE PICTURE multiplied a thousand times. Las Vegas, Nevada will be a GHOST TOWN. People will be wandering through the emptied and mostly destroyed casinos and city shopping malls. They will fondle gambling "chips" that possess no value. Las Vegas shall surely be a haunt of every unclean bird and jackals will reside in that place. Martial law will be imposed within the nation. A time of complete desperation will hit. Those who barked like dogs in so-called revivals will whimper at the devastation and all their foolery will amount to nothing. Those who refused to repent, but went after the GIFTS, will come away empty-handed and their short-lived healings will be met with eternal burnings because their hearts were led astray into great deception, as the Scriptures said they would. The burning heart of repentance can no longer be seen in America. The cry for repentance is falling upon deaf ears and the masses are being led into the slaughter. The day of slaughter began on 9/11; it has escalated into a worldwide epidemic as hundreds of thousands are being destroyed daily. The prophets are fools (those in the harlot church)! The people are mad upon their idols! A sword against the treasury of the United States has been unsheathed. I will strike their treasures and take them away to another land. I will transfer the wealth of the nation to another. It is over! The collapse is sure! The time of debate is ended! America will be a nation of refugees. Those who hate shall meet with hatred! Those who mocked shall be a derision! Those who refused to obey shall be punished! Terror shall take hold of a nation that has forsaken the LAW OF THE LORD! SAINTS, find your way to the cities of refuge now! Begin to build your lives in those places. Go to those places that uphold the Laws of the Lord. You will be protected. Build cities that will welcome and provide for survivors who are sent from the Lord. These will be seeking Christ Jesus from true hearts. Establish Godly leaders within the cities of refuge for the transfer will come to a nation within a nation! Fill up the storehouses! Many will be led by the Spirit to these safe places they never knew of. The coastlands will perish! Seek refuge now! It is late! Let us not linger anymore! David: The real good news is that revival will spring forth wherever the elect are and people will know the value of Psa 91. Psa 91:1-16 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust. 3 For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence. 4 He will cover thee with his pinions, And under his wings shalt thou take refuge: His truth is a shield and a buckler. 5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, Nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6 For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.  7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; But it shall not come nigh thee. 8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, And see the reward of the wicked. 9 For thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge! Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation; 10 There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent. 11 For he will give his angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.  13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: The young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under foot. 14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble: I will deliver him, and honor him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him, And show him my salvation.

Did you know that between 1834 and 1917, more than one million Coolies were taken across the Kala Pani, or Dark Waters, to the plantations of Malaya, Mauritius, Fiji, Trinidad, British Guiana, Jamaica, and British Honduras? In “Coolie Woman: the Odyssey of Indenture,” Gaiutra Bahadur describes how the British and other Colonial Powers transformed generations of skilled Indians into an “indistinguishable mass of plantation laborers.” Part of that transformation took part during the journey from India to the Caribbean which, for many, was unimaginably excruciating. In fact, poor ventilation, outbreaks of disease, and a lack of food was common aboard the ships used to transport Indentured Indians. When they reached their destination, they were met with a hostile and unfamiliar environment and forced to work long hours for low wages. But despite all odds, they persevered and laid a foundation that future generations would build on.

TikTok Lookalike Guides Illegal Chinese Immigrants to Swarm Into US Through Southern Border

Kathryn Ma joins Eric Newman to discuss her most recent novel, The Chinese Groove, which follows protagonist Xi Liu Zheng, who goes by Shelley, as he leaves his home in China's Yunnan province to make his future with the help of a rich uncle in San Francisco. But Shelly's journey is a comedy of errors in which nothing is as he expected. Yet, with indefatigable optimism, compassion, and determination, Shelly works to change his fortune and repair fractured family bonds. At once a harrowing immigrant tale and a humorous romp through cultural misunderstandings, The Chinese Groove explores the everyday negotiations of romance and family ties, as well as the power of belief that helps us make our way through the world without breaking. Also, Curtis White, author of Transcendent: Art and Dharma in a Time of Collapse, returns to recommend two classic authobiographies, The Education of Henry Adams by Henry Adams, and The Seven Story Mountain by Thomas Merton.

Valley Edition for November 5, 2021

Ep 348 -   Addressing Anti-Asian Racism Guest - Franco Ng   Anti-Asian racism is increasing. Over the past 12 months, reports of discriminatory incidents in Canada have more than tripled, according to a study led by researchers at the University of Toronto and U of T's Dalla Lana School of Public Health. And the reason for the increase, according to the authors of the report, is COVID-19.   Anti-Asian racism unfortunately is not new to Canada. People of Chinese discent have experienced racism, segregation, intimidation, violence and murder because they were Chinese. The Canadian government officially introduced the Chinese Immigration Act in 1885, which imposed a heavy head tax on anyone from China. Then in 1923, the Act banned Chinese Immigrants from entering Canada.   The Act was repealed in 1947 when Chinese people were allowed to become Canadian citizens. Despite citizenship rights, it wasn't until 1962 that immigrants from China were allowed into the country. In other words, as a country we have been hostile, disrespectful and physically aggressive towards people from China.   Over the past 60 years, anti-Asian discrimination was fading. In fact, most young women and men of Asian ancestry or new immigrants rarely experience racism. Then COVID-19 dramatically changed the way Asian people are being treated.   My guest today, Franco Ng, is one of a group of young people who says part of the problem is their generation needs to step up and get involved. Co-chair of the Youth Forum for Asian Representation Lauren Tse says, “A lack of Asian representation across all spectrums of Canadian government has hindered the ability for the community to effectively address the rise of anti-Asian hate crimes.”   Stuart McNish invited Franco Ng, one of the driving forces behind the Forum, to join us for a Conversation That Matter about addressing anti-Asian racism.

Dr. Uzma Quraishi of Sam Houston State University discusses her book Redefining the Immigrant South: Indian and Pakistani Immigration to Houston during the Cold War. And a Chinese-American family's search for answers about their heritage leads somewhere unexpected in a new documentary called Far East Deep South. The film screens June 5 during the annual Houston Asian American Pacific Islander Film Festival, which begins today and runs through June 13.

Skyler Chin will present on Illegal, a poetry-rap-rock musical based on his grandfathers immigration documents from when he was detained on Angel Island in 1923. The lyrics are inspired by poetry carved into the walls by Chinese Angel Island detainees. Chin wrote Illegal to give voice to Asian Americans like his grandfather whose stories had been left out of history, and to convey the fighting spirit of the people who began to define what it takes to become American.

May 10, 1869. On the dusty, barren plains of Promontory Summit, Utah, a crowd is gathered to celebrate an American milestone – the completion of the transcontinental railroad, the first piece of infrastructure to connect the two sides of the United States. But this achievement didn’t come without great sacrifice, especially from Chinese immigrants, who made up more than 90% of the Central Pacific Railroad company workforce. How did these workers come to build what might be the most important transportation project in US history? And how were these Chinese immigrants accepted by American society, before the tides turned to violence and hate?Special thanks to Gordon Chang, professor of history and author of Ghosts of Gold Mountain: The Epic Story of the Chinese Who Built the Transcontinental Railroad (https://amzn.to/3hgDtOH).

This episode introduces some key players in the story of the Chinatown Massacre, and gives some background about the social and political conditions for Chinese Immigrants in Wild-West California. Yut Ho and Ah Choy are based on historical figures. For more information about them, a great resource to check out is https://amzn.to/3qEyqsj (“The Chinatown War,” by Scott Zesch), who has collected and attempted to decode a number of primary sources contemporary with the events in this story. Accounts of the lives of Chinese miners are scarce and unreliable. The  closest thing we have to a primary source (in English) is http://www.sfmuseum.org/hist6/chinhate.html (this stunningly racist essay) by author Henry Kitteridge Norton, published in 1924 and transcribed by the San Francisco Museum: This and other similar sources supplied the material on the lives of Chinese miners. Historically, no murders of Whites by Chinese immigrants were recorded...until the day of the massacre, as we shall see. However, that doesn't mean it didn't happen. A wonderful fictional account of Chinese miners can be found in the Ken Liu story “All The Flavors,” published in http://giganotosaurus.org/2012/02/01/all-the-flavors/ (“The Paper Menagerie and Other Stories” (2016) and available online for free). Prostitution was actually much less prevalent in Chinatowns across California than politicians made it out to be in the late 1800's. However, it was a constant danger for those few young women who made it through immigration. The old woman from the Huiguan (“benevolent association” in Cantonese) is fictional, but I have seen the Mahjong Halls of San Francisco Chinatown, and received the brutal solicitations for prostitution that hound young Asians of many genders across America, to this day. The Characters are presented as speaking in Cantonese, rendered as an accessible, 20th-century English familiar to the listening public. So much for Historical Verisimilitude. Here is a basic lexicon for transliterated terms used in the story: Gwailo: Translating as something like “ghost” or “foreign ghost,” it refers to western would-be-colonizers in China. Also used in the US, by such figures as that APB-busting superhero, Ghostface Killa. Mei: a common Chinese diminutive for younger sister Huiguan: A communal association designed to help get new immigrants on their feet. Often possessed of premises; a kind of outside-the-law town hall.

From Quesnel Forks to Barkerville, Chinese people were significant players in the boom-and-bust resource towns of western Canada in the 1800s and 1900s. In this episode of the China Untold podcast, I introduce the role Chinese migrants played in the early development of British Columbia. I'll recount stories of lost mines, ghost towns, racist attitudes and more!

In this episode we explore our ‘Why You Exist’ process in which we banter and work with you to develop a Mission Story. Having this fundamental vision and storytelling element helps build your brand’s foundation. As Simon Sinek says, “people don’t buy what you do, they buy why you do it” and this is where you start to deliver on that promise.

It's often widely assumed that Chinese immigrants in Africa prefer to isolate themselves from local communities and generally resist assimilation. That perception, though, is incorrect according to the findings of two leading scholars from Hong Kong, Yan Hairong and Barry Sautman, who've recently completed research that explored Chinese self-segregation in five African countries.The two professors join Eric & Cobus to discuss their findings and to dispel some of the myths surrounding Chinese immigration in Africa.JOIN THE DISCUSSION:Facebook: www.facebook.com/ChinaAfricaProject Twitter: @eolander | @stadenesque SUPPORT THIS PODCAST.

Timeline:  Intro:  The show started unfortunately with some technical difficulties when my mic didn't seem to connect to the computer properly.  Then I went into a blistering intro about how we have to support the people of Hong Kong against the Chinese Communist Government and the People's Revolutionary Army.  I compared what Trump needs to do for Hong Kong, to what Kennedy and Reagan did at the Berlin Wall, one to join with the people of Berlin, the other to tear down the wall. 28:00  Around here Shelby our "Travel Talk" reporter came on and we heard about her Hong Kong experience and analysis of my question.  Her report concentrated on "cruise crud" and how to avoid getting sick on your cruise vacation.  And we talked about alcohol, desalinated water, food, and avoiding getting sick from those. 50:00  Karen Hoffman joined with her Investigative Report, and documented connections between the Garner case in NY, the FBI, quid pro quo, and a whole bunch of information on Anthony Weiner's laptop containing Hillary emails, Hillary trips to Epsteins island, and more.  I came up with "Let Hong Kong be Hong Kong" for Trump. 1:21:45   I started detailing the stats of Hong Kong, then the horrors of what the Chinese government does, and wants to do in Hong Kong. 1:33:30  Josie called me and we talked about oppression in Central and South America as well as what to do with Hong Kong. ***  "Action Radio with Greg Penglis" Facebook page:   https://www.facebook.com/radiolegislature/ All Action Radio shows are at:  BlogTalkRadio.com/citizenaction

In observance of the Immigrant Heritage Month, I look into the history of the Chinese Immigrant community and draw parallels between their history with that of Indian immigration history over the years. Despite of having such few things in common as a culture - the  stories between our two communities have a lot in common and this says a lot about the present day success of these two immigrant groups in the west.  Check out more episodes from Culture Chaos where I share stories of my experiences trying to navigate life away from India.

Gary Lum is the steward, guardian and current shopkeeper of Wing on Wo & Co, the oldest continuously operating store in Manhattan's Chinatown. Wing on Wo has been at its current location, 26 Mott Street, since 1925 and sells consciously chosen Chinese porcelain. Wing on Wo is a family business and is truly one of the most special spaces in our city. The Lum’s story of tenacity, legacy and loyalty is New York City at its very best. There couldn't be a more fitting interview to close this series with. In part I, Gary shares the beauties and challenges of growing up as the American born son of Chinese Immigrants in the Chinatown of the 1960s and 70s. He definitely knows the neighborhood has changed but he discusses how he manages to work within it. He also talks about the complex roles Stuyvesant High School and the Jersey Shore played in his life and why he tries to cultivate genuine connections with his customers.And most importantly, Gary gives some insight into how raising his two awesome daughters, Mei and Lina, empowered him to correct the lasting effects of a childhood he considered less than ideal. To hear more about the history of the store and some other lessons Gary taught Alexis, tune into the Prelude to the End: Alexis Says Goodbye to NewYorkILYBYC and visit our website.

According to leaked documents, there is a proposal going around the White House to build a federally owned 5G telecommunications system — the next version of a mobile broadband network — or perhaps even to nationalize the 5G networks that private telecom companies are now building. (5G is the “fifth generation” wireless protocol, which promises to be faster and more secure than its predecessor, 4G, but requires new antennas and cell towers.)The White House proposal, which at the moment is just an idea, appears driven by concerns about security threats related to China’s development of 5G networks. But the strongest case for building a national network is different. Done right, a national 5G network could save a lot of Americans a lot of money and revive competition in what has become an entrenched oligopoly. Done wrong, on the other hand, it could look like something out of Hugo Chávez’s disastrous economic playbook.https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/1/16721230/wechat-china-app-mini-programs-messaging-electronic-id-systemWeChat is popular in China - platform for everything, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp and others blocked though, also China is implementing a national ID system through WeChat and you can even pay to upgrade to a color version!

Then, in the early 1900s, Chinese immigrants held in an American detention center wrote poetry on the walls to pass the time. Decades later, the writing inspires a Denver poet, an immigrant herself.

For decades Zambia had been the flash point of anti-Chinese sentiment in Africa. Late president and outspoken opposition leader Michael Sata was unrivaled in his seething criticisms of both China and the Chinese who had migrated to his country. Prior to his election in 2011, he famously slammed the Chinese for paying "slave wages" at Chinese-owned mines and later suggested Beijing had designs on conquering Africa: "the Chinese are not here as investors, they are here as invaders," he said. Ironically, once Sata became president he completely reversed course with regards to the Chinese and became one of Beijing's most enthusiastic partners in Africa. Although Sata's views towards China evolved, Zambia's reputation as a focal point of anti-Chinese attitudes, or 'Sinophobia,' in Africa remained, particularly among a significant number of international journalists, NGOs and academic scholars. That Sinophobia in Zambia regularly expressed itself in all sorts of fanciful ways, ranging from false rumors that China was exporting cans of human flesh to be sold as food in Zambia or that China had planned to take over the country's national television broadcaster. Western Journalists and scholars have also written extensively on the growing Chinese population in the country and suggested through their "research" and "reporting" that Chinese migrants are increasingly unwelcome by indigenous communities. A lot of that western media reporting and scholarly research, though, was missing critical context. By examining Chinese migrants and companies in isolation of other groups (e.g. other races and nationalities), there is no way to contextualize the Chinese as being better or worse than others groups. Without understanding how Zambian perceptions of the Chinese are relative to those of other ethnic or foreign national groups, then a lot of the research and reporting on the subject is irreparably flawed. Hong Kong University of Science and Technology master's candidate Lu Yao recently embarked on one of the first academic studies to properly contextualize Zambian views of the Chinese within the culture's broader racial/ethnic paradigm. Her research concluded that Zambians held mixed views of the Chinese (for example, not regarded as highly as white people but also not as bad as how Zambians feel about Lebanese migrants). Yao, who incidentally was born in China but grew up in Zambia as the child of expatriate doctors, joins Eric & Cobus to discuss her recent findings and the politics of race and ethnic identity in Zambia. Join the discussion. Do you think the Chinese deserve the bad reputation they have in places like Zambia or are you persuaded by researchers like Lu Yao who say the story is far more complicated than how it is characterized in the international press? Let us know what you think. Facebook: www.facebook.com/ChinaAfricaProject Twitter: @eolander | @stadenesque        

Imagine this: deep in the Louisiana wetlands, a wooden platform the size of three football fields, covered in shrimp, drying in the sun… which are being danced on by Chinese immigrants, to rid them of their brittle shrimp shells. Now multiply that vision by a hundred, and you have some idea of the vast dried shrimp industry that existed in South Louisiana in the late 19th century. In the new episode of Gravy, Laine Kaplan Levenson, host of Tripod, brings us a story of Chinese immigration, family businesses, and how dried shrimp globalized Louisiana’s seafood industry.

The Chinese Canadian immigration project explores the dynamics of migration flows between China and Canada from the mid 19th to the mid 20th century. It is based on the Canadian Register of Chinese Immigrants, a list of almost 100,000 Chinese who entered Canada between 1851 and 1949, most of whom were required to pay a discriminatory and restrictive entry fee – the so-called Head Tax. Using this core document, the project will examine migration between China and Canada, its relationships to patterns of immigrant recruitment in China and settlement in Canada, and the socio-economic factors underlying these population movements.
