We know Dick Lamm as Governor of Colorado. In that context his
thoughts are particularly poignant. Last week there was an immigration
overpopulation conference in Washington D.C., filled to capacity by many of
America's finest minds and leaders. A brilliant college professor [and farmer]
by the name of Victor Davis Hanson 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 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, 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
ethnocentricacy 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, un-assimilated,
under-educated, 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.”
“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 precept. 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 bilingual/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, “Last, I would censor Victor Davis
Hanson's book Mexifornia. His book is dangerous. It exposes the plan to destroy
America. Unless 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 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 you care for and love our country as I do, take the time to
pass this on just as I did for you.
NOTHING to counteract this is going to happen if you don't!
