We know Dick Lamm as the former Governor of
Colorado. In that context his thoughts are particularly
poignant. Eight Steps to America's Destruction.
Last week there was
an immigration overpopulation conference in Washington, D.C., filled to capacity
with many of America's finest minds and leaders. A brilliant college professor
by the name of Victor Davis Hansen 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 bicultural societies that do not assimilate are
histories of turmoil, tension, and tragedy.’ Canada, Belgium, Malaysia, and
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,
Corsicans and Muslims."
Lamm
went on:
"Second, to destroy
America, invent 'multiculturalism' and
encourage immigrants to maintain their culture. Make it an article of belief
that all cultures are equal; that there are no cultural differences. Make it an
article of faith that the Black and Hispanic dropout rates are due solely 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 multi-ethnic and multicultural experiment might have been achieved not
by tolerance, but by hegemony. Without the dominance that once dictated
ethnocentricity 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 enforcing 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 that their lack
of success was the fault of the majority. I would start a grievance industry
blaming all minority failure on the majority placation."
"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 will "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
bi-lingual/bi-cultural country, having established multi-culturalism, 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 Davis Hanson'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. Discussion is being suppressed. Over 100
languages are ripping the foundation of our educational system and national
cohesiveness. Even 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 republic, 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.
