This
is from a friend of a friend who lives in North Dakota. Like you, I
probably wont do anything about it and you can bet politicians
who are more interested in getting reelected wont either. Immigration
is good for America. Yeah, right. One language (English) is not good
for America. Yeah, right. Read carefully and save it. You may live long
enough to see it happen.
We all know Dick Lamm as the former Governor of Colorado.
In that context his thoughts are particularly poignant. Last week there
was an immigration-overpopulation conference in Washington, DC, filled
to capacity by many of Americans finest minds and leaders. A brilliant
college professor named Victor Hansen Davis talked about his latest
book, Mexifornia, explaining how immigration - both legal
and illegal was destroying the entire state of California. He said it
would march across the country until it destroyed all vestiges of The
American Dream.
Moments
later, former Colorado Governor Richard D. Lamm stood up and gave a
stunning speech on how to destroy America. The audience sat spellbound
as he described eight methods for the destruction of the United States.
He said, If you believe that America is too smug, too self-satisfied,
too rich, then lets destroy America. It is not that hard to do.
No nation in history has survived the ravages of time.
Arnold Toynbee observed that all great civilizations rise and fall and
that An autopsy of history would show that all great nations commit
suicide.
1. Here is how they do it, Lamm said: Turn America
into a bilingual or multi-lingual and bicultural country. History shows
that no nation can survive the tension, conflict, and antagonism of
two or more competing languages and cultures. It is a blessing for an
individual to be bilingual; however, it is a curse for a society to
be bilingual.
The historical scholar Seymour Lipset put it this way: The
histories of bilingual and bi-cultural societies that do not assimilate
are histories of turmoil, tension, and tragedy. Canada, Belgium,
Malaysia, Lebanon all face crises of national existence in which minorities
press for autonomy, if not independence. Pakistan and Cyprus have divided.
Nigeria suppressed an ethnic rebellion. France faces difficulties with
Basques, Bretons, and Corsicans.
2. Lamm went on: Invent multiculturalism and encourage
immigrants to maintain their culture. I would make it an article of
belief that all cultures are equal. That there are no cultural differences.
I would make it an article of faith that the Black and Hispanic dropout
rates are due to prejudice and discrimination by the majority. Every
other explanation is out of bounds.
3. We could make the United States an Hispanic Quebec
without much effort. The key is to celebrate diversity rather than unity.
As Benjamin Schwarz said in the Atlantic Monthly recently: The
apparent success of our own multiethnic and multicultural experiment
might have been achieved not by tolerance but by hegemony. Without the
dominance that once dictated ethnocentrically and what it meant to be
an American, we are left with only tolerance and pluralism to hold us
together.
4. Lamm said, I would encourage all immigrants to keep their own
language and culture. I would replace the melting pot metaphor with
the salad bowl metaphor. It is important to ensure that we have various
cultural subgroups living in America reinforcing their differences rather
than as Americans, emphasizing their similarities.
5. Fourth, I would make our fastest growing demographic group
the least educated. I would add a second underclass, unassimilated,
undereducated, and antagonistic to our population. I would have this
second underclass have a 50% dropout rate from high school.
6. My fifth point for destroying America would be to get big foundations
and business to give these efforts lots of money. I would invest in
ethnic identity, and I would establish the cult of Victimology.
I would get all minorities to think their lack of success was the fault
of the majority. I would start a grievance industry blaming all minority
failure on the majority population.
7. My sixth plan for Americas downfall would include dual
citizenship and promote divided loyalties. I would celebrate diversity
over unity. I would stress differences rather than similarities. Diverse
people worldwide are mostly engaged in hating each other - that is,
when they are not killing each other.
A diverse, peaceful, or stable society is against most historical
precedent. People undervalue the unity it takes to keep a nation together.
Look at the ancient Greeks. The Greeks believed that they belonged to
the same race; they possessed a common language and literature; and
they worshiped the same gods. All Greece took part in the Olympic games.
A common enemy, Persia, threatened their liberty. Yet all these bonds
were not strong enough to over come two factors: local patriotism and
geographical conditions that nurtured political divisions. Greece fell.
E. Pluribus Unum From many, one. In that historical
reality, if we put the emphasis on the pluribus instead
of the unum, we can balkanize America as surely as Kosovo.
8. Next to last, I would place all subjects off limits
make it taboo to talk about anything against the cult of diversity.
I would find a word similar to heretic in the 16th century
that stopped discussion and paralyzed thinking. Words like racist
or xenophobe halt discussion and debate.
Having made America a bilingual/bicultural country, having established
multi-culturist, having the large foundations fund the doctrine of Victimology,
I would next make it impossible to enforce our immigration laws. I would
develop a mantra: That because immigration has been good for America,
it must always be good. I would make every individual immigrant symmetric
and ignore the cumulative impact of millions of them.
9. In the last minute of his speech, Governor Lamm wiped his brow. Profound
silence followed. Finally he said, Lastly, I would censor Victor
Hanson Daviss book Mexifornia. His book is dangerous. It exposes
the plan to destroy America. If you feel America deserves to be destroyed,
dont read that book.
There
was no applause. A chilling fear quietly rose like an ominous cloud
above every attendee at the conference. Every American in that room
knew that everything Lamm enumerated was proceeding methodically, quietly,
darkly, yet pervasively across the United States today. Every discussion
is being suppressed. Over 100 languages are ripping the foundation of
our educational system and national cohesiveness. Barbaric cultures
that practice female genital mutilation are growing as we celebrate
diversity.
American jobs are vanishing into the Third World as corporations create
a Third World in America take note of California and other states
to date, 10 million illegal aliens and growing fast. It is reminiscent
of George Orwells book 1984. In that story, three
slogans are engraved in the Ministry of Truth building: War is
peace,
Freedom is slavery, and Ignorance is strength.
Governor
Lamm, walked back to his seat. It dawned on everyone at the conference
that our nation and the future of this great democracy is deeply in
trouble and worsening fast. If we dont get this immigration monster
stopped within three years, it will rage like a California wildfire
and destroy everything in its path, especially The American Dream.
You Might Want To Pass This On!!
Thats my story, and I am sticking to it.
