"Transnationalists" don't take immigration reform seriously

Townhall ^ | April 3, 2006 | John Leo

[Mr. Mojo]

A Leo column from last year, but one that bears reposting.

“The astonishing aspect of the immigration debate is that the elites think they can override the clear and huge resistance of the American people. As columnist Tony Blankley wrote last week, the Senate was prepared to “legislate into the teeth of the will of the American public.””

Into the gums is more like it.

Good article. It really hits home with alot of what is driving Washington’s irrational detachment from the citizenry and their need for protection from this horrid immigration travesty;

“The astonishing aspect of the immigration debate is that the elites think they can override the clear and huge resistance of the American people.”

It is now common to hear that transnationalism will be to the first quarter of the 21st century what multiculturalism was to the last 25 years of the 20th.

One bad idea deserves another.

[dr_lew]

John Fonte, of the Hudson Institute, notes that "transnationalism," like "global governance" and "multiculturalism," are presented by advocates as irresistible forces of history. Not so, he says. They are "ideological tools, championed by activist elites."

BaDump.

I hark back to the supplemental material on my DVD of THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, in which the producer frankly and openly states that the movie is stumping for world government, and admits that most people are not prepared to accept it. Ideological pie in the sky in 1951, but 56 years have since transpired. As Aesop said, "It is one thing to call on death, it is another to see him coming".

[NRA2BFree]

It’s amazing to see how far things have advanced since this article was written. These evil people need to be tried as traitors and punished accordingly. Their arrogance is unbelievable.

While Congress drives us off the cliff of open borders.

Imagine that it was Fidel Castro who seized control of world government.

[rabscuttle385]

It's globalism. Tinged with socialism. "The new world order." A world government, controlled by the elites, who micromanage the lives of their billions of comrades, in one giant dance of harmony.

What a pipe dream. Unfortunately, in their attempts to create their impossible utopia, the globalists will wreak mayhem and sacrifice countless people to their new gods.

I fear that there is a motivation far more sinister than mere obtuseness which drives the grand elites to pursue their trans-nationalist policies in the teeth of the will of the people. The author has alluded to the motivation. He sees trans-nationalism as the sequela of multiculturalism and he is correct. He also avers that trans-nationalism is but a tool and not a goal in itself for those in its thrall.

These repugnant "isms" are but tools conceived of originally in Marxist doctrine and contrived by THE FRANKFURT SCHOOL to advance the tide of communism. The school was founded by a George Soros of like millionaire who assembled a bunch of intellectuals and tasked them to create the intellectual weapons to undo the defenses of the West against communism after the Russian Revolution. He founded a school and managed to get it attached to the university in Frankfurt. Originally, they wanted to call it a school of Marxism after its model in Moscow but concluded they ought not to give up the game so easily and adopted the name school for social research.

The Frankfurt School offers a comprehensive explanation of the origin of cultural Marxism as a tool quite consciously crafted to undermine the institutions which were effective in resisting socialism. Thus was "political correctness" born. Conceived to attack the institutions which resist socialism: The Nation-State; The Church; The Family; The School; The Culture; The Military; it becomes a computer virus in our very epistemology..

Pan nationalism (which really means the absence of nationalism), anti-Americanism, feminism (anti-paternalism), atheism (anticlericalism), extreme environmentalism (especially extreme global warming), anti-racism (group victimology), homosexual activism (anti-family hatred), etc. are all excressences of Cultural Marxism. This doctrine was explicitly fashioned to break down the resistance of Western civilization to communism.

It was designed to pave the way for the acceptance of the Russian Revolution in Germany in the 1920s. In doing so it carved out areas against the Western culture which it saw as bulwarks against communism: the family, the Church, the school and, of course, the nation state. Thus it was perfectly positioned at the time of the ostensible failure of communism at the fall of the Berlin Wall to convert the left fully from an economic Marxism to a Cultural Marxism. That is what we have today.

Born in Germany, the movement was driven out by Hitler into a modern diaspora in 1933 which unintentionally propigated the theories throughout the western world, especially America and Britain, and throughout our established institutions like Harvard, Columbia, RCA, the OSS and, surprise, The New York Times. Exploiting the anti-draft sentiment in the Vietnam era, the doctrine of political correctness metastasized and rode with the boomers to become the dominant philosophy of our elite culture. But every eruption of political correctness can be traced directly back to The Frankfurt School.

We are often nonplussed by the obtuseness in the left in failing to recognize the obvious dangers of terrorists crossing the Mexican border armed with weapons of mass destruction which could be as small as vials of anthrax. I can recall posting more than two years ago that, if such an attack occurred, George Bush would be vilified as one of the worst presidents in our history. Why is a man so seemingly committed to fight terrorism utterly incapable of seeing the threat in our own southwestern desert?

In George Bush's case I think he is merely a dupe, a useful idiot in the wars of cultural Marxism. The virus of multiculturalism erupts in more symptoms than trans-nationalism. As I said in my about page, "The last refuge for scoundrels of the left is to play the race card." This card has been played so effectively by the disciples of The Frankfurt School that we all of us live in mortal terror of dying as ignominiously as Don Imus, Trent Lott, Senator Allen, etc. etc. The left has merely to breathe the threat of racism and all critical thinking shuts down.

An elite simply will not be tolerated as an elite if he is tainted with even so much as a nano coating of racism.

I divide the left into the elites and their useful idiots. The elites are as cynical as Satan himself and it explains how this portion of the left can swallow the inconsistency of courting an islamo fascist victory in the war on terrorism. One need only contemplate for a moment the Taliban's treatment of women and homosexuals to be astonished that they are not more aggressive in waging this war. To the contrary, they actually undermine the war. Think of the Hitler Stalin pact of 1939. In thrall to their ideology, they risk everything to destroy the nationstate, especially the American nation which stands athwart every one of their ideological goals.

The balance of leftists, the great majority, play the game under orders reacting to stimuli which need not even be consciously applied (such as the specter of racism, sexism, homophobia etc.) like so many chickens in a Skinner box.

How can elitists ram trans-nationalism through the teeth of the American people and down their throats? Because they are living in a parallel universe concocted by The Frankfurt School.

[BigFinn]

This was the most important thing I’ve read today. Novus ordo seclorum?

[ca centered]

I never liked bush senior talking of “the new world order.” I’m afraid there are too many American citizens willing to except their own demise. Years of PC crap has taken it’s toll. The bell tolls now. It’s rang 11 times.

[Judges Gone Wild]

Why did the academic community, the media, and Hollywood welcome Cultural Marxism with open arms? I think in the case of Hollywood, it was dominated by secular Jews who saw Christianity as their greatest threat. Some of the founding Communists were Jews — Marx, Engels, Lenin. If you point any of this out you are labeled an anti-Semite or a Nazi. I believe the Jews are God’s Chosen People and that in the Last Days they will make a treaty with the anti-Christ which will enable him to make war on the saints. (Look it up in Revelation.) There are many wonderful Jewish people who have contributed much to the West, as well as Messianic Jews. I am just looking for cause and effect for the sake of discussion.

"It's globalism. Tinged with socialism. "The new world order." A world government, controlled by the elites, who micromanage the lives of their billions of comrades, in one giant dance of harmony."

I like John Ringo's diminutive for "transnationalists". He calls'em "tranzi's".

Another piece of the puzzle. Long but worth reading.

Yet another reason to hate Hitler. 

[Jack Black]

Ping for the article. Great find! We need to get better organized against this tide. The few voices crying out about this are not enough. As someone else comments, see how far they have moved their agenda in a year.

[JSDude1]

I say we eliminate the 17th Ammmendment it would GO A LONG way toward ‘’evicerating’’ this “Transnationalism”..
