Eight Steps To Destroy America
1-30-5
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 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) ;"Turn America into a bilingual or multi-lingual and bi-cultural 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:) "Invent 'multi-culturalism' 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.
"We could make the United States an 'Hispanic Quebec' without much effort. (Third:) The key is to celebrate diversity rather than unity. As Benjamin Schwarz said in the Atlantic Monthly recently: 'The apparent success of our own multi-ethnic and multi-cultural 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 sub-groups 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 overcome 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, (Seventh:) 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,' (Eighth:) 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 sympatric 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 is 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.
"... if we put the emphasis on the 'pluribus' instead of the 'unum,' we can balkanize America as surely as Kosovo."
...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.
How about this method of destroying the United States?:
First, ensure that no-one within the United States knows how to speak any language other than English. Let's leave those piles of Arabic and Farsi intelligence transcripts untranslated. All American ambassadors, diplomats and intelligence agents should conduct their business exclusively in English. Tourists should, of course, speak only English, preferably VERY LOUDLY. Attempts to understand or appreciate other languages will be prosecuted; foreign language teachers will be shot. The international hatred this will produce will speedily bring attacks from foreign nations and a cessation of international trade.
Second, to destroy America, we should propound a myth of history whereby enlightened white people took possession of an empty land because God told them to make a new Israel. Suppress, ignore, distort or lampoon anyone who suggests that American Indians were killed unjustly, that black people were unhappy in slavery, or that any person of any ethnic minority has experienced discrimination or abuse. Suggest that as this is God's nation, and God's nation is perfect, any experience people have of such discrimination or abuse is their fault or their imagination. The disjunction between this myth and the day-to-day experiences of nonwhite Americans will create racial violence on an unheard of scale.
Third, we could ignore the contributions to American history of anyone descended from black people, American Indians, Indian Indians, Asians, Irish, Polish, Italians, Greeks, or in fact anyone other than English people. One non-English ancestor will suffice for exclusion. This will neatly exclude the 20th-century contributions of both Roosevelts (Dutch), Eisenhower (German), Kennedy (Irish) and Reagan (Irish). If our schoolchildren learn nothing of the achievements of these presidents, they will live in invincible ignorance of their history and the history of other nations, and there's no easier way to destroy a nation than that.
Fourth, I would overturn Brown v. Board of Education and cease all efforts to educate nonwhite people immediately. It obviously hasn't worked, they're not capable of it, and they are better off returning to whatever germ-infested rathole they came from. Well, I'll be better off anyway, and my children won't have to sit next to them and listen to them struggle. This will force America to support an ageing white population on the back of a rapidly diminishing number of workers, leading to a high-tax and low-productivity economy.
My fifth point for destroying America would be to enlist businesses and big conservative foundations in pushing for a theocratic, whites-only vision of America, grounded in a cult of Manifest Destiny. I would get poor whites to believe that their lack of success was the fault of the immigrants and the blacks. I would start organizations with silly names and costumes dedicated to preventing minorities from succeeding, and institute laws to segregate them from any occupation or neighborhood that might enable them to participate in the American Dream. After all, it worked so well last time around that we should really bring it back.
My sixth plan for America's downfall would be to forbid any expression of pride in one's ancestry that is not purely American or English (see above). St. Patrick's day, pizza and tchotchkes would all be outlawed. Instead of "E Pluribus Unum", we can have "Ex Unus Cruor, Unum" - From One Blood, One. Fallacies concerning the ancient Greeks would be compulsory reading. American consumers would be required to eat boiled cabbage, boiled potatoes and overcooked beef for every meal. The anger created by mandatory English cooking would create rebellion in every city outside Georgia, for whom it would probably be an improvement.
Next to last, I would place any discussion of racial or class divisions in today's America off-limits. Racism, sexism and classism are dead, so any expression of racist, sexist or classist opinions must really be something else - say, an obvious misunderstanding by a humorless black b*tch. There's no better way to sharpen divisions than to pretend they don't exist. I would furthermore introduce a healthy climate of informing and suspicion by requiring all patriotic Americans to report any illegal immigrants to the authorities. Once you get people in the habit of informing on the illegal activities of their neighbors, it's easy to extend it to non-immigration-related activities. We can have a file on everyone, and attain unchecked executive power - at which point "America" as we knew it will be dead.
Lastly, in the manner of Mao's Little Red Book and the novels of Saddam Hussein, I would make it compulsory to purchase, read and memorize Victor Hanson Davis's book Mexifornia. The space freed up in libraries by removing un-American books can be filled up by numberless copies of his book. His royalties will make him the richest man in America, and with luck I will get to be his Groom of the Stool.
