Tyranny is coming to Europe in the form of a new
multicultural empire. Ancient sovereign states,
such as England and France, and newer ones, such
as Germany and Italy, are to cease to exist and
to be folded into a European superstate. National
existence is targeted for extinction by about 2006
followed by national consciousness.
Preparing the British for their demise as a people,
Foreign Secretary Jack Straw wrotein
“The Independent” on Nov. 22 that “in a world where
states and the interests of their citizens are so
obviously interdependent, we need to rethink our
attitudes to concepts like ‘independence’ and ‘sovereignty’.”
Prime Minister Tony Blair agrees. The war against
terrorism, he says,
has made national sovereignty out of date.
If you think these are weak arguments for giving
up the nation state, you have a point. The basis
for successful political life is a common language,
history and culture, which create “a people” sufficiently
cohesive for democracy or self-rule to arrive at
compromises that reconcile conflicts.
Coercion is the response to
the massive third world immigration into European
nation states. The erosion of “a people” by diversity
has evoked tyrannical laws
in an effort to coerce an artificial
commonality.
Great Britain, for example, no longer consists
of its indigenous peoples: English, Scots and Welsh.
Britons are having to make room for large numbers
of Africans, Indians, Arabs, and Pakistanis. Sheer
numbers and victim group status impede assimilation
, which, in turn, both impedes the immigrants’ progress
and fosters resentment by diluting British culture.
The consequence of nonassimilation
is racial inequality. The Labour Party has responded
by blaming “racism.” On December 6 the government
implemented draconian “race equality” laws. Public,
private and voluntary organizations are under statutory
obligation,
policed by the Commission
for Racial Equality, to produce racial equality
in employment, college admissions, school performance,
disciplinary proceedings, pay, benefits, facilities--in
short, a thoroughgoing quota system.
Gurbux
Singh,chairman of the Commission for Racial
Equality, called the legislation “a powerful lever
for change.” In effect, British culture has been
declared unfair, because immigrants who do not assimilate
are disadvantaged.
Europe is as overrun with third world immigrants
as Britain. Some German Social Democrats favor
immigrationas a way of diluting the German population,
thereby diminishing “the worst characteristics of
the nation.” In other words, as a way of de-GermanizingGermany.
Proposals are afoot to give the same state subsidies
to Islamic cultural organizations as German ones
receive.
Dilution
of national cultures by immigration is the basis
for the European Union. A weakened sense of nationhood
in Britain, France and Germany means no effective
opposition to bureaucratic rule by the European
Commission in Brussels.
In order to criminalize national patriotism and
opposition to immigration, the European Union is
pushing forward legislation that makes xenophobia
and racism crimes. Once this legislation passes,
a European, who, for example, criticizes immigration
as an anti-diversity measure that is wiping European
civilization off the face of the earth, can be found
guilty of racism and sentenced to two years in prison.
Similarly, persons who oppose EU measures as contrary
to British values or French culture can be imprisoned
for xenophobia.
Hand in hand with the criminalization of national
identity goes the European
arrest warrant.
Once in effect, an Englishman could be extradited
to Greece and put on trial for offenses that are
not crimes in England.
No finer recipe for oppression could be devised.
The oppression will be felt
most keenly by the British,for it is the liberties
protected by their unique legal system that will
be lost. Oppression leads to civil war, not European
unity.
The U.S., of course, is on the same path. In fact,
it began here with coerced racial integration by
judicial decree, a “civil rights act” that destroyed
freedom of conscience and substituted coercion for
persuasion, and unconstitutional racial quotas that
destroyed equality
in law.
In the U.S., Europe, Canada and Australia, white
governments are responding to the postwar propaganda
about “racist white hegemonic culture” by disadvantaging
the white populations and diluting the “hegemonic
culture.” In the U.S., the melting
pothas been evicted by the slogan, “assimilation
is racism.”
If the melting pot is dismissed as racist, it must
also be racistto
question immigration. In the U.S. only one side
of the immigration debate is permitted--the side
that calls for more immigrants. In Europe, there
will soon be no debate at all.
As the U.S. and European governments are committed
to national and cultural suicide, what is the point
of defense budgets? Shouldn’t the money be used
instead for payments to make amends for having once
had a hegemonic national identity?
