Last week there was an immigration-overpopulation conference in
Washington, DC, filled to capacity by many of American's 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 let's 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.' "Here is how
they do it," Lamm said:
First to destroy America, "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."
Lamm went on:
Second, to destroy America, '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.
Third, "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.' 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."
"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." "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."
"My sixth plan for America's 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 worshipped 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." "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-culturism, 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." In the
last minute of his speech, Governor Lamm wiped his brow. Profound
silence followed. Finally he said, "Lastly, I would censor Victor Hanson
Davis's book 'Mexifornia.' His book is dangerous. It exposes the plan to
destroy America. If you feel America deserves to be destroyed, don't
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, ten million illegal aliens and growing
fast. It is reminiscent of George Orwell's 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 are
deeply in trouble and worsening fast. If we don't 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. |
