Into Slavery Proclaiming Freedom

Blind Stubborn, Americans…
Citing Tiger Woods and President Obama, a headline on page six of our local paper read: “Multiracial people now fastest growing U.S. group; California, Texas, New York, and Florida have the most multiracial Americans”. The article from the Associated Press begins with this statement, “Multiracial Americans have become the fastest growing demographic group, wielding an impact on minority growth that challenges traditional notions of race”.
United States census began allowing several race boxes to be checked in 2000 and according to the article those checking more than one box increased 33 percent. How that figure is determined is a bit unclear as is the “census estimate” that multiracial people rose 3.4 percent last year to 5.2 million making up 5 percent of the minority population. Hawaii ranked first in percentage with 1 in 5 multiracial, with Alaska and Oklahoma having roughly 4 percent. Utah had the highest growth rate, “a reflection of loosening social morals in a mostly white state”.
Carol Liebler, a sociology professor at University of Minnesota, is quoted; “Multiracial unions have been happening for a very long time, but we are only now really coming to terms with saying it’s OK. I don’t think we’ve nearly tapped the potential. Millions are yet to come out.”
Challenging the “traditional notions of race” is shocking by itself but coming to grips with the fact that it is occurring in America is so important that the media in a free society would give it front page coverage and detailed comment.
Most Americans failed to notice but the road to new “notions of race” has been underway for several decades. The 1965 immigration bill set the stage for a massive influx of a variety of different immigrants and as these immigrants arrived our media showed us how we were to relate to them. A panel discussion on C-Span is moderated by a Black, an Oriental, and a White. The students allowed to ask questions of the panel are Mexican, Oriental, Black, and White. The panel moderator is Jewish. Television programs and movies are overwhelmed with Black or female heroes. Black men and White women are coupled and miscegenation depicted or inferred. Uncontrolled immigration, much of it illegal, supported by powerful private groups and by our own government is the platform for the promotion now being subtly foisted on America.
This startling announcement of a basic change in the demographics of our society should have been on the front page. Though it has been supported for several years on television and in movies, few realize that the displacement of White Americans as heroes and centers of power is a massive manipulation.
Multiculturalism is not only self defeating but it destroys the existing culture and eliminates racial integrity along with its accompanying history. The result of mixed race unions is an amorphous race with no particular ethnic history. Personal history is a stabilizing factor in society. Without it tyrants can more easily program citizens.
Globalism with a new layer of international law is behind much of what is happening in our world. Powerful families, heavily involved with oil, provide part of the motivation for The War in Iraq and Afghanistan but I believe there is another objective that receives very little attention.
The governments of most Muslim nations are bound by some form of Sharia law. Sharia law was not given directly by God as was the Law of Moses. Nevertheless, it is a system of religious law that overrides the anarchic opinions of men. Societies that believe in god, even a false god, and adhere to an overarching legal system tend to have more freedom and be more stable than societies that rely on human reasoning and human legal systems.
The war in the Middle East is about oil but it is also about forcing Muslim nations to join the global community. Marc Lynch is an insider with close connections to the Council on Foreign Relations. Following is a lengthy but significant quote from a chapter he wrote for Jonathan Kirchner’s new book, “Globalization and National Security”.
“For many Arabs and Muslims … globalization itself represents a major threat to security. Memories of the era of colonialism, and anger over what is widely seen as the neo-imperial aspirations of the West deeply permeate Arab and Islamist political culture. The book stores of Cairo and Amman, the columns of the major Arabic newspapers, the preaching in Islamic mosques are all full of explicit condemnations of globalization. In these conceptions, globalization is part of the American (and Western) hegemonic project, which seeks to finally eradicate the Arab-Islamic identity. Cast in cultural terms as much as economic and political terms the Arab-Islamist discourse places globalization and ‘the Western cultural invasion’ firmly in the realm of security threat. As one Egyptian commentator put it, ‘globalization is another term for capitalism and imperialism and all Arabs and Muslims need to consider it an imminent danger that is endangering our political, social, cultural, and economic stability.’ This view of a cultural threat tends to conflate globalization with Americanization in important ways: ‘In light of unipolar American hegemony in international politics…we must return to the concept of globalization which brings together politics of the economy and culture and thought.'”
“It is almost impossible to overstate the extent to which Arab intellectuals view globalization as a threat, in spite of its apparent economic irrelevance. For the Egyptian Islamist Hassan Hanafi just as for the Marxist Galal Amin, globalization’s essence is ‘the north’s desire to control the south.’ For Usuf al Qaradawi, probably the most important politically moderate Islamist public intellectual today, globalization is simply ‘the old imperialism presented under a new name.’ Qaradawi warns that globalization ‘from the beginning has been linked to the expansion of the American model and widening it to encompass the whole world…it is not only a mechanism of the expansion of modern capitalism, but also the call to build a specific model…as an economic model it is also an ideology expressing this system and serving it and consolidating it…that is why some authors call it Americanization.'”
Though the North American Union, a globalizing unit, is quickly advancing on many different fronts there is no mention of it in the media. In Texas, mendacious politicians have approved the new Trans Texas Corridor which is the first leg of a major highway designed to allow the trucking of foreign goods (mostly Chinese) from Mexico into the interior of United States and Canada.
Open borders and amnesty for millions of illegal aliens is a North American Union objective. Read about it here. Airport Security and Homeland Security have less to do with terrorist than with population control. It is difficult to find evidence of terrorists being apprehended by these invasive organizations.
Arab intellectuals view globalization as a threat while intellectuals in the United States either support it or are neutral. Jewish intellectuals are powerful forces in our universities. College curriculums often have courses in Jewish studies. Internationalism is basic to Zionist Jewish thought. Multiculturalism, political correctness, and globalism are critical parts of a far left agenda.
Many Jewish Zionists believe in a coming world government administered by Jews and centered in Jerusalem. This quasi-religious quest is foreign to the mainstream humanist forces that seem to dominate the new world order crowd and could be the cause of a future split between powerful Jewish forces and the secular globalist middle. Islam has been demonized in Western society, Christianity has been marginalized, and Judaism may be next.
David Rockefeller described the globalist conspiracy in his book “Memoirs”. He wrote that they are “internationalists…conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure – one world, if you will…”
In spite of the fact that David Rockefeller’s book “Memoirs” contains a conspiracy confession recorded in black and white for all to see, most United States citizens still refuse to believe his confession preferring the erroneous opinion that all is well. Russian writer Stanislav Mishin wrote in Pravda, “The proud American will go down into his slavery without a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker.”
The world will snicker because Americans have enjoyed an unequalled freedom and instead of being grateful they are “proud”. The pride has been extensive and of long duration, now the fall is coming but prideful Americans fail to see it. They are still puffed up. They still promote illegal wars, sanctioning murder in the name of righteousness. As their race and culture is dying demographically they sacrifice children for convenience, even murdering them in the womb. Their pride will not allow them to acknowledge their manifest historic sins of conquest and genocide. They actually believe that the God of the Bible will create a revival in the cesspool of sin in which we now live. They seem to believe that by accepting a fall into hopelessness and sin we can help God with the soon return of His only Son – this in spite of the fact that Jesus, Himself, said only the Father knows the day and the hour!
King Solomon’s son Rehoboam came to power with a similar belligerent attitude. His arrogance divided the nation with Jeroboam (son of Nebat) becoming King in Israel and Rehoboam King of Judah. The nation had enjoyed unprecedented prosperity under the reign of King Solomon but there was some resentment over high taxation and Jeroboam was able to exploit it. As it turned out Rehoboam was more teachable than Jeoboam and when disobedience to God’s Law bought an invasion from the overwhelming army of King Shishak of Egypt, Shemaiah the prophet brought God’s word to Rehoboam. “You have forsaken Me, so I also have forsaken you to Shishak.” In response to this message the king and his leaders humbled themselves. When the Lord saw that they humbled themselves He revised the murderous attack of King Shishak saying “But they will become his slaves so that they may learn the difference between My service and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.”
This is the lesson Americans must learn, “the difference between My service and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.” Rehoboam was on the brink of military invasion, mass murder, and total defeat; United States is on the brink of martial law, world government, and servitude to the kings of satan. Rehoboam and his leaders humbled themselves but our President and his leaders remain arrogant. Pride is so pervasive most Christians do not even understand that we have displeased God. They still confuse sin and righteousness. We approach God with arrogant spirits seeking His blessing while neither obeying nor respecting His dominion. When Rehoboam humbled himself, “the anger of the Lord turned away from him, so as not to destroy him completely; and also conditions were good in Judah”.
Gentle reader, if you are a Christian, following are some of the major sins that require individual and national repentance: The genocidal murder of hundreds of thousand of Native American Indians and the theft of their land; 200 thousand to a million and a half civilian deaths in a turn of the Twentieth Century War in the Philippines; participation in the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, the Vietnamese War, and now the Wars in Iraq and Iran – and the millions of faceless civilians, all created in the image of God, that we have murdered in these useless, illegal foreign incursions. Like King David we must come to realize that we have sinned against God and God only, the Ruler of the universe. We have elected and re-elected dishonest, pagan politicians who have deceived us, betrayed the nation and are guilty of treason. Since we have re-elected them, we are responsible for their actions and need to repent for our participation in their sins. We need to repent for allowing the Church of Jesus Christ to become a flaccid, irrelevant organization; a center of entertainment rather than a basic training camp for God’s army. We must return to the Laws God gave to Moses and begin to obey; without obedience no one can please God. God forgives the brokenhearted; He does not answer the hubristic requests of the proud and arrogant. He will not hear us when we approach Him aggressively claiming His promises. We are His subjects; He is our Lord and Master. We must approach His throne with meekness and servility. He forgives those who come before His throne with humble servant hearts.
At the Diaspora, God destroyed the nation of Israel and scattered its inhabitants. Today, He is in the process of destroying the United States and bringing its people under the thumb of the Satanic forces of globalism.
The fate of our nation is in the hands of Christians. Will we repent and obey or will we continue to be proud and beat our chests in arrogance? Will we continue to support evil policies that God has denounced thereby contributing to our own captivity? Or, will we come humbly before the Ruler of the universe, repent, humbly ask to be forgiven for the sins of our fathers and for our own sins, read the Laws God gave to Moses and vow to obey, turn from our wicked ways, and seek to bring our nation under the rule of the King of Kings?
That, dear friends, is what God requires.
The world has cancer and unfortunately we are only treating symptoms. Like cancer, the individuals who are enslaving the world are hidden. We only see the symptoms and our solution is to complain about the symptoms while ignoring the source and refusing to repent before the Great Physician whose balm is the only cure for the disease.

Kick Vick

The Prosecution of Michael Vick…
There is an emotional satisfaction in bringing down the high and arrogant. O. J. Simpson is in jail again and Michael Vick will attempt to claw his way back. Satisfying as it may be these emotional successes do more harm than good. United States was conceived as a nation under law. It was deemed a Republic. This concept has been repeatedly violated and our society continues to travel down a pragmatic highway that produces injustice and strife.
Michael Vick will be 29 years old on June 26th. He was just released from a 23 month jail sentence for promoting dog fighting. A little more than 6 percent of his life has now been spent in jail. He is an extremely talented football player with roots in illegitimacy (probably encouraged by our government.). Born to a teen mother, raised in the projects, his unusual talent saved him from the degradation common to many of his friends. His father and mother married when he was five and his father, a noted football player in his youth, taught Michael and his brother Marcus football fundamentals.
As quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons he was the cream of United States football players with a long list of superlatives. He still holds several NFL records (read the link below). His behavior off the field was often questionable, his finances are a shambles, and he has a stubborn streak that is commendable in some ways but hurtful in others. He was offered a ticket to higher Atlanta social circles by Andrew Young, a member of the Falcon’s Board of Directors. He turned it down opting to stick with his childhood friends. Andrew’s ego might have been damaged. Michael made enemies but his problems seemed to be minor. Take time to read the whole story here.
He has now been released from jail and will be confined to his home and a $10.00 an hour construction job while hoping to get back into professional football. Watch an excellent documentary here.
Dog fighting is a cruel sport that harkens back to the Roman coliseum where gladiators fought to the death and Christians were torn apart by lions. Fifty thousand people flocked to these events, Romans and visitors from as far away as Africa. Some estimate a half a million people and a million animals were killed and mutilated for Roman entertainment. Western societies have been insulated from blood and death but pagan cultures often relish it.
The calculated restraint of our national press in properly addressing issues of national importance is a significant factor in the steady deterioration of our nation. Dog fighting, bull fighting, and cage fighting have a lot in common. Ironically, the United States does not allow bull fighting or dog fighting but we don’t mind tearing up a few human beings in a cage or annihilating a few million foreigners with military weapons. For meat we kill millions of cows, pigs and chickens. All this goes on while groups of in-sentient animal lovers ignore the human race in favor of dogs, cats, bears, buffalo, eagles, geese, turtles, sharks, orangutans, etc.
In Florida, where I live, killing a cat can and does result in a jail sentence. A couple of years ago the animal lunatics tricked voters into a constitutional amendment to protect pigs by requiring they be transported in particular size boxes. This law was passed in Florida while millions of pigs in the Carolinas are being raised like chickens in assembly line type housing where they never see the light of day. Voters passed this amendment while ignoring a few hundred thousand innocent Iraqi civilians dying under our bombs!
Our media (press) accurately reports news but they fail to report entire segments and often couch stories as routine when they are actually outrageous. The newspapers and media have been joined in irrelevance by our Christian Churches; all are losing attention by failing to provide truth.
If you took time to watch the documentary linked above, you noted that a Deputy Sheriff named Bill Brickman bears singular responsibility for the fall of Michael Vick and the evidence he obtained was a result of a swat team storming Vicks private property on a questionable drug warrant. Brickman decided to pursue the additional dog fighting charge and went out of his way to call in federal agents when local authorities stymied his initial efforts. No drugs were found but when Brickman saw the dog kennels he pursued the charge like one of the pit bulls he confiscated. A logical argument could be made that the entire prosecution was illegal under the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution and as you read this you might consider the hundreds of thousands of tax dollars that have gone into this prosecution and jail time. Are pit bulls worth that amount of time and money or was the entire affair a power play designed to show everyone, including Vick, who is boss?
Vick was to be prosecuted under the RICO act which was passed to deter Mafia type criminal activities but is being used by our ruthless government prosecutors in a host other cases.
Michael Vick lied to the authorities, was arrested, confessed, plea bargained, and was sentenced. The press had a field day. They had a man down and their coupe de grace would have brought cheers at the Roman coliseum. As a result of this charge Vick lost his job, lost his money, lost his reputation, lost his freedom, and is now being badgered to genuflect to elite powers in order to regain some measure of autonomy and productivity. I don’t know Michael Vick. He may be an obnoxious ego maniac. But I do know that the punishment did not fit the crime and the laws that created the crime are an insult to equity.
United States is being choked to death by the passage of renegade laws. We need to give our state and federal law makers a vacation. There are far too many laws on the books and many of them fail the Constitutional test. Our willy-nilly approach to law making is a social malignancy.
Murder does not apply to lower orders of life. Life on earth was created with man at its pinnacle. Taxonomists have identified close to two million different living species and estimate an unidentified quantity of up to 98 million more. Read about it here. Animals live at our pleasure. Being kind to animals is a virtue, being cruel to animals is a vise. Cruelty to animals provides a window into a person’s character. We may withhold respect from individuals who are cruel to animals but to incarcerate them is a travesty against them and the order of creation.
God created life. All life is connected to The Creator and should be treated with respect. He created man after His own image. There is a Godly shadow in human beings. When this Godly shadow is ignored and we group human beings with lower orders of life we lose our God given dominion, our self respect, our primary vocation, and ultimately our life and freedom. .
Bloody violence and needless cruelty has increased as the United States has matured into paganism. Motion pictures that formerly depicted death by showing an individual falling motionlessness now show bullet holes, blood, and shattered flesh. Formerly our police forces pursued criminals in their regular uniforms; today, they wear flack jackets and visors; march in military precision; demand instant supplication; and handcuff everyone. Torture has been introduced and the potential for serious mistreatment of citizens by our government has become an issue. In a serious mental distortion our courts protect animals while putting humans in jeopardy.
The gang mentality that accompanies emotional charges like those against Michael Vick mirrors the caliber of some of the individuals who rise to the top of their professions. Dan Shannon, assistant director of youth outreach and campaigns for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals called Roger Goodall, NFL football commissioner, requesting that Vick be subjected to “a brain scan and full psychological evaluation before any decisions are made about his football career”. Goodall promises to become a mind reader. He will attempt to determine whether Vick is sufficiently remorseful. “I think it’s clear he’s paid a price, but to a large extent he’s going to have to demonstrate to the larger community — not just to the NFL community and to me — that he has remorse for what he did and that he recognizes mistakes that he made. ” The Atlanta Falcons will apparently treat Vick as a leper and trade him as soon as possible – so much for loyalty.
The latest news is that Vick wants to work with the Humane Society of the United States to help eradicate dog fighting among teens. Pragmatic capitulation allows evil to go unchallenged and injustice to endure. But Vick doesn’t have much choice. The media has brought down the dragon and will pummel him into submission.
Justice is a pre-requisite to peace and conversely, injustice is a pre-requisite to mayhem.
Will the vast array of humanists out there; adherents to the religion that controls our nation, our businesses, and our society; lend me an ear (the good ear, if possible)? It makes no difference what proposition is set forth, it can be logical or illogical, right or wrong, peaceful or disruptive; every proposition will attract supporters and dissenters. Several outrageous initiatives have been injected into our society and found both support. It has been so since the consumption of the illicit apple. In spite of Perfection and many palpable miracles Jesus, Himself, was rejected by some and accepted by others. “Some of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words were saying, ‘This certainly is the Prophet.’ Others were saying, ’This is the Christ.’ Still others were saying, ‘Surely the Christ is not going to come from Galilee, is He? ‘Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?’ So there arose a division in the multitude because of Him.” John 7:40-43
Abortion and homosexuality provide excellent examples of outrageous initiatives. As demographics reveal the failure of the White race to reproduce itself, white society is cultivating its selfish indulgence by killing its unwanted children in the womb and blocking reproduction by promoting feminism, homosexuality, and lesbianism. These agents of death are being supported by our universities, many of our citizens, and much of our media. We have murdered over 50 million babies in the wombs of their mothers and 25 million Mexicans have invaded our nation to do the work the 50 millions dead babies cannot do. We have encoded these disastrous propositions into law and are allowing these laws to contribute to our own demise. That, gentle reader, is national insanity!
Humanism is unable to produce justice. The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom and without wisdom there can be no justice. Unencumbered by absolutes the human mind sees both sides of issues and is only capable of arbitrary selection. Justice is an attribute of God and is only possible when we acknowledge and accept His precepts and ordinances. We were not created to govern ourselves and our attempts to do so have always ended in disaster.
Arthur Blank made his fortune as a founder of Home Depot. He is a billionaire who owns the Atlanta Falcons. Mercy evades him. He hired Robert Nardelli to run Home Depot and Nardelli’s heavy handed ways almost sank the ship. Though Vick’s fame made him lots of money, Blank is suing to retrieve a bonus paid to Vick and has announced that he will forget about loyalty and mercilessly set him adrift.
Though the establishment has him on the ground is still busy kicking him, Vick has some support from his fellow players. Read about it here and .
It is little wonder that our nation is slowly sinking into tyranny and insignificance. We have completely lost the righteousness provided us by God in His Word. Peace, righteousness, and justice are a product of God’s Law. When we tire of the mayhem resulting from human arrogance, God and His Law Word will still be there to return us to sanity.

Putin Stops Gay Parade In Moscow
May 21, 2009 by Administrator · 4 Comments
PRIME MINISTER VLADIMIR PUTIN WILL NOT TOLERATE that which he deems will undermine the “moral foundations” of Russian society. For on May 16, 2009, the latest attempt to hold a Gay Pride Parade in Moscow was over before it began.
Moscow police broke up a crowd of gay activists preparing to protest, arresting at least 24 of them, including the event’s organizers, of whom, some were outside agitators from Europe. The activists had gathered in front of Moscow State University in the south-western part of the city.
As the protestors began chanting: “We want the right for same-sex marriage!” – Vladimir Putin instructed the mayor of Moscow, Yury Luzhkov, to send in riot police to make the arrests. Putin did allow, however, an earlier rally in the center of Moscow to take place. This rally was made up of a large number of demonstrators from various Russian Orthodox Christian organizations who denounced homosexuality and lesbianism.
Moscow Mayor, Yuri Luzhkov, branded gay parades as “Satanic” and vowed that they would never be permitted in the capital. The Russian Orthodox Church has also vowed to halt any attempt to hold a march in support of gay rights in Russia.
The mayor, reflecting Putin’s view on same-sex marriages, was quoted by the ITAR-Tass news agency as saying: “Gay pride events destroy the moral foundations of our society.”
Luzhkov promised to continue banning Gay Parades, declaring, “We will ban the propagation of the views of sexual minorities because they are a major factor of the distribution of HIV and AIDS. Some home-brewed democrats may consider that sexual minorities can be the main indicator and symbol of democracy, but we will forbid further dissemination of this erroneous idea.”
IN KEEPING WITH THE MAYOR’S BAN, a Russian lesbian couple was denied their request to marry in Moscow on May 12, 2009. The authorities refused to issue the couple a marriage license, saying that the Russian Family Code does not allow those of the same sex to be married. View Entire Story Here, Here & Here.
At a press conference held at the Kremlin, Putin was asked to comment on the remark by the Moscow mayor that Gay Pride parades were a “satanic act.” Putin answered with a tongue & cheek response which resulted in the packed Kremlin auditorium exploding in laughter and applause:
“My approach to gay parades and sexual minorities is very simple. It is directly linked to my responsibilities. One of the key problems of our country is demographics. We want our nation to grow!” View Entire Story< Here.
PUTIN FOILS THE ZIONIST-CONTROLLED WEST
IRANIAN WAR PLANES DID NOT TAKE OFF FOR AN AIR SHOW on April 18, 2009, due to Putin’s warning that Israel was planning to destroy all 140 fighter-bombers. The planes were concentrated at the Mehr-Abad Air Force base on April 17, 2009, in preparation for an air show over Tehran on Iran’s “Army Day” the following day. Heeding Putin’s warning, the entire fleet was removed to remote bases and the air show was cancelled.
Putin had informed the Iranians that its spy satellites and intelligence sources had picked up preparations at Israeli Air Force bases to destroy the 140 warplanes, (the bulk of the Iranian air force), on the ground the night before the display, leaving its nuclear sites without aerial defense. A similar operation wiped out the entire Egyptian air fleet in the early hours of the 1967 war.
Many in Israel now fear that the Middle East could once again become a theatre for Russia to exert its sphere of influence, both militarily and politically. This fear was raised in August of 2008, when Syrian President, Bashar al-Assad, met with Putin in Moscow to conclude a series of military agreements, saying, “We are ready to co-operate with Russia in any project that can strengthen its security.”
RETURNING THE FAVOR, Putin proposed a revival of its Cold War era naval base at the Syrian port of Tartus, giving the Russian Navy its first foothold in the Mediterranean for two decades. Damascus and Moscow were close allies during the Cold War but the Kremlin’s influence in the region waned after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Last summer’s rapprochement between Russia and Syria raised the possibility that Moscow intends to re-create a global anti-Western/anti-Zionist alliance with its former Soviet bloc allies. Some Israeli analysts fear that this rapprochement will encourage Syria to try to take back the Golan Heights, captured by Israel in 1967.
On January 12, 2009, Putin’s proposal was put into action. A task force from the Russian Navy’s Northern Fleet arrived in the Syrian port of Tartus from Turkey. Syria welcomed Russia’s fleet by hosting a naval exercise with Moscow. Putin has continued to send a range of vessels to the Syrian port as part of routine maneuvers in the Mediterranean. And, the Russian Navy has been operating a maintenance site at Tartus ever since.
Russian officials say that its Navy plans to modernize Tartus over the next few years in an effort to gain a better foothold in the Mediterranean. The officials stated that Tartus, designed to accommodate up to a dozen warships, will become the base for the Russian Navy’s Black Sea Fleet. View Entire Story Here, Here & Here.

U.S. Needs National Population Policy For Survival In 21st Century
March 21, 2009 by Administrator · Leave a Comment
The citizens of the United States face a daunting dilemma in the 21st century: too many people, too little resources and running out of water.
In a compelling essay, Boyd Wilcox, www.nationaloptimumpopulationcommission.com, authored: “National Population Policy; Justified.”
“Although its establishment may be a difficult and complicated process,” Wilcox said, “the basic concept and reasons for existence are so simple, one might easily conclude that we have been brain-dead not to have done it much earlier.”
“It is the raw, gnawing, mind-numbing, relentless onslaught of anonymity; it is the essence of one’s being like a diminishing droplet in the sea of humanity; it is each snowflake in an avalanche pleading “not guilty.” Boyd Wilcox
“Two fundamental perspectives help clarify the obvious,” Wilcox said. “The first has to do with simplicity. How many times do you hear people, from all walks of life, utter with sad resignation something like the following: “I just wish our lives were not so damned complicated.”
By increasing the size, each additional person ratchets up complexity by just being there and interacting with others in the group. These interactions are often cooperative, but can also be competitive or conflicting.
“A second perspective substantiating the need for a population policy extends to the nation, where we now have a group of 306 million individuals,” Wilcox said. “The sum total of each person’s contribution to both the size and complexity is what the nation is composed of and what drives the U.S. forward into the future. Is it reasonable to hope for a simpler existence under these circumstances?”
Wilcox explained, “National policies oversee major segments of our collective lives. These policies are never questioned. But, they are important for the smooth functioning of our society. Examples include transportation, commerce, health, labor, energy and education. They carry so much weight; we engage cabinet posts within the White House.
“Why is there no cabinet position for the category of national life that is at least as important as any of those mentioned above; that of demographics? The size and complexity of our national population is the greater magnifier, the determinant of our common future. It operates as both a dependent and independent variable. Understanding this leads inevitably to the need for a National Population Policy.”
As a dependent variable, population pressure interacts dynamically and synergistically with other factors that determine overall national quality of life. With unending growth, each citizen matters less and less.
“The key words are dilution and alienation,” Wilcox said. “If we wanted to restore the original ratio between the House and constituents, instead of 435 members, we would need 8,700 members. This is how tragically diluted each individual’s affective political relationship has become at the federal level. That dilution leads to alienation is obvious. Is it any wonder less than 50 percent vote in national elections? There is absolutely no credible argument that more people in the U.S serves to promote democracy. Cleary we must move toward a National Population Policy.”
We must engage the following objectives:
1. A National Optimum Population Commission requiring a national debate and analysis; leading to legislative, educational and public-policy directives that would place us upon a long, multi-generational pathway to achieving a stable population at the level or range deemed sustainable for the long term.
2. Establish presidential cabinet-level department of Population & Demographics.
a. Population distribution in the USA.
b. Immigration. This hot-button issue needs to be relegated to its proper place as a subsection of overall population pressure. By doing that, the emphasis is taken away from being ‘anti-immigrant’ and converted to the more positive effort of crafting a policy that serves the national interest just like the policies of any other cabinet-level department.
c. Global outreach.
d. Citizenship and assimilation issues are extremely important, especially in a nation as large and diverse as the United States. To ignore this is to invite a Balkanization of the nation; a process some observers feel is already underway. As we celebrate the strength that comes from diversity, we must also integrate and enhance those elements that provide common bonds; the bonds that hold the nation together and allow it to cope.
“It is absolute clear that we need a National Population Policy,” Wilcox said. “It not only is essential, relative to the other top cabinet positions in the executive branch of government, but it is deserving of special attention because it has been so summarily ignored. How much longer will these blinders obscure our vision and what will be the consequences for refusing to remove them? Or is our ability to exercise choice in the matter obliterated by the already-attained size and complexity of our nation?”

Keep Blowing and the Bubble will Burst…
If you blow long enough, you will burst any bubble. If you fail to maintain your brakes, they will break down at some inopportune time. Failure to maintain personal solvency in your bank account leads to bankruptcy. When you carry a balance on your credit card, you pay far higher than the original cost of the item or service.
How do you—or a nation—arrive at a point of financial breakdown? Does arrogant entitlement and over-extension beyond one’s means resonate with today’s news headlines?
On a national level, we experience the severity of living on international credit—now come home to roost. For the past 20 years, our Congress encouraged massive outsourcing, insourcing and offshoring of American jobs. That caused us to lose our manufacturing base and facilities. Thus, today, we tolerate a $700 billion annual trade deficit. We pay China, India and other third world countries to manufacture our goods at lower prices while our middle class languishes with millions of job losses—and cannot continue buying those goods.
Few Americans realize that when you shop at such stores as Wal-Mart, Lowe’s, Kohl’s, Home Depot and Target, you slit your neighbor’s and your own financial throat.
James Howard Kunstler, author of, The Long Emergency, said, “Americans failed to recognize the essential fraudulence of the idea that this destruction was ‘creative’ and would lead to a higher good, that the end justified the means, even as they watched their towns die around them. Wal-Mart and its imitators used their wealth and muscle to set up ‘superstores’ on the cheap land outside small towns and put every other merchant out of business, often destroying most of the town’s middle class. They also destroyed the local capacity to produce goods. The public enjoyed this bonanza of ‘supercheap’ manufactured goods without reckoning any of the collateral costs, which were astronomical.”
While Congress dismantled our manufacturing and construction base, and millions of necessary jobs, Congress exacerbated our vulnerability by borrowing (selling), unknown to average citizens, $1.3 trillion in Treasury Bills from (to) China to prop up our moribund economy. On a national level, the average credit card runs a $9,240.00 balance (debt) according to NBC’s Brian Williams. Total consumer debt exceeds $2 trillion. National debt tops $10.1 trillion! Ahh, the abundance of unsubstantiated bailouts flow from a Monopoly Board checkbook!
Additionally, another $700 billion vanishes from our nation annually with the cost of imported oil. Since the oil crisis of the 1970s, this nation failed to place any kind of a fuel-conservation policy into effect. Despite President Carter’s sage warning concerning reducing oil consumption drastically, we ignored him and continued our full-blast consumption habits surpassing California wild fires! After all, Alaska oil fields opened—seemingly refuting limitations! As if to render our insolence acceptable, we continue our myth that another discovery in Alaska, Antarctica or the Gulf of Mexico will dismantle any ‘oil crisis hypotheses’.
“After all, this is America!” Paris Hilton, prominent and highly sought-after Hollywood authority, said. “Limits are unacceptable!”
The day approaches, likely 2010, supported by the Hubbert Curve analysis—when galloping population expansion collides with declining oil extraction.
Similarly, we falsified home values with escalated appraisals cradled in vacuous, lofty ideals. We allowed millions of poor borrowers without down payments or viable financial histories to purchase homes clearly outside their range.
“No problema amigo,” Wells Fargo bankers said. “We can work the numbers to make the American Dream yours!”
Surprise! The real estate bubble burst! Millions of foreclosures strangled American citizens and poor migrants who lost jobs while they watched interest rates rise beyond their means.
Can you guess the next bubble to burst? What can we see exploding in our faces? What crisis long denied by our presidents and Congress zeroes-in on our civilization like a stealth missile?
Immigration-driven hyper-population growth extends its ubiquitous tentacles into every aspect of American society.
While, according to President Bush, 573,000 manufacturing jobs vanished in November, the United States imported 200,000 job- seeking immigrants from third world countries. It doesn’t end there! Our myopic Congress proposes doubling legal immigration to 2.4 million annually and giving amnesty for 20 million plus illegal migrants! Watch for that political torpedo in 2009.
U.S. Representative Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) promoted an H-1B bill to add 550,000 foreign workers.
That’s on top of another 200,000 immigrants added in December! Add another 200,000 immigrants in January, and the same, month in and month out!
Does anyone see the correlation with our financial plight? Where is the common sense of importing more bodies when our own workers stand in unemployment lines?
Now is the time for sensible decision making—as other countries must decide—regarding how many immigrants we can sustain before exploding into chaos. We accept more immigrants annually than all other countries combined!
Our natural resources suffer over-extension today! California’s accelerating water shortages, arable land loss plus overwhelming debt strangles its sustainability! California depicts and portends America’s future. From the looks of things in the past two months, baby, we’re already there!
Why do we entertain inviting millions more immigrants into our country when our middle class stands in welfare lines, visits soup kitchens, floods into food banks and loses homes?
What might make a viable future achievable?
We must return to a frugality mentality. We must pay for only what we can afford. Congress, yeah, that’s you, both democrats and republicans—import only what we need if we cannot manufacture it. How about a hefty dose of conservation versus our rampant national throwaway mentality?
Our current national dilemma stems from Congress’ irresponsible actions to this point. Doesn’t it sound reasonable to change our actions toward functional and viable outcomes?
Our immigration-inflated population and extravagant resource- devouring society must return to balance. Homeostasis of our economy and demographics! Americans decry limits; however, denial of their reality will assuredly burst the balloon of our inflated civilization. Limits exist! Face them now or feel them later!
Kunstler said, “At peak oil and just beyond, there is massive potential for system failures of all kinds—social, economic and political. Peak is quite literally a tipping point. Beyond peak oil, things unravel and the center does not hold. Beyond peak, all bets are off about civilization’s future.”
“Can you think of any problem in any area of human endeavor on any scale, from microscopic to global, whose long-term solution is in any demonstrable way aided, assisted, or advanced by further increases of population, locally, nationally, or globally.” Dr. Albert Bartlett

What if the U.S. opened its borders to unlimited immigration?
October 22, 2008 by Administrator · Leave a Comment
What if the U.S. opened its borders to unlimited immigration? What if Colorado added another five to ten million or even 20 million people?
Let’s face it, California, at one point, housed a mere five million like Colorado. Today, that state features 37.5 million on its way to 60 million. At one point, citizens did not suffer gridlocked traffic, water shortages or air pollution. In the early years, neither did Colorado. The same goes for all cities of the United States.
But, at some point, population growth raced out of control across this great land. At this moment, 150 million Americans feel the pinch, the unease of their predicament and the symptoms of their dilemma. You’ll feel it more when gas hits $9.00 a gallon as in Europe.
Since we invite 1.2 million immigrants annually and another 1.1 million illegal migrants into this country annually—what’s the big deal about allowing five or 10 million annually?
If you study international demographics, you know that 82 million people add themselves, net gain to the planet, every year. (Source: www.populationmedia.org and www.worldpopulationbalance.org and www.balance.org )
To put things into perspective, one-third of them cannot find a clean glass of drinking water daily. Out of that 82 million, 18 million starve to death or die of starvation related diseases annually. (Source: World Health Organization) At least two billion humans live on less than $3.00 a day for food.
Thus, if we opened our borders to save humanity from its horrible fate, an immediate 18 million starving souls could find food and shelter in the USA annually. However, after a mere five years, that equals 90 million added to our country. In 10 years, that equals 180 million people and in 20 years…well, you get the picture. If you think Colorado suffers water shortages, air pollution and gridlock today, you ain’t seen nothing yet!
William N. Ryerson, director of www.populationmedia.org, said, “I have read with interest the various perspectives presented in the debate on U.S. immigration policy. I pose the following question to anyone who thinks “border control” efforts will not accomplish anything: If the U.S. had no border control (or policing at airports, etc.) what would happen to the number of good people entering this country from the far corners of the world?
“There is no doubt that if there were absolutely no barriers or restrictions at our borders, this great nation would be flooded — overwhelmed — inundated — by MILLIONS of well-meaning, hard-working, honest “tired and poor” people within a matter of months.
“It’s hard to know the number who would move to the U.S. if our borders were opened, but surveys in many countries show significant numbers who would like to live in the U.S. If the borders were opened, perhaps 3 billion people would find their way here in a short period of time – ten times the current population of the U.S. The infrastructure would collapse, our water supply (and food supply) would be exhausted, people would be sleeping in the streets, energy would be at a premium, in short, chaos would be the new norm.
“At current rates of growth, in just 15 years the U.S. population will grow by the equivalent of a new Los Angeles, plus New York City, Chicago, Philadelphia, Baltimore, San Francisco, Indianapolis, San Jose, Memphis, Washington, Jacksonville, Milwaukee, Boston, Columbus, New Orleans, Cleveland, Denver, Seattle, and El Paso. All of these to be added in just 15 years! We have heard a lot about the cost of rebuilding New Orleans. The cost of developing all the new infrastructure that will be required in the next 15 years will be huge – and perhaps not achievable. If we opened our borders, the reality would be much worse.”
Therefore, if you enjoyed the power of the U.S. presidency or controlled the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, what would you do? Open our borders to unlimited immigration—knowing your children could not survive in the long term? Or, would you be smarter, more logical and take actions in order to build a sustainable, long term U.S. sustainable civilization?
Within 30 years, we expect 100 million added to this country at our current level of legal and illegal immigration. Do you want that result for your children? What will they tell you in 30 years if that 100 million comes to pass?
I can tell you this: if we allow our country to remain an open border– your life, your children and this society don’t stand a chance in the 21st century. Everything will degrade to enormous and irreversible population travesties. What do you think about that for future generations? How do you think Colorado might do with an added 20 million people?
“Hey buddy, can you find me a glass of water while I’m stuck in traffic while I breathe this toxic air on my way to the ski resort where I get to ski with 20 million others?”

Disrespecting America: Multiculturalism
July 4, 2008 by Administrator · Leave a Comment
“America is losing its national identity through mass immigration, legal and illegal… creating ‘transnationals’ that never fully assimilate into our American society.” ~ Mark Krikorian
The official U S Census demographics tell us that 16.5% of the folks who reside in the nation are non-Hispanic blacks, certainly a minority. Many blacks, each for their own reason, have held back… refusing to assimilate fully into the big-picture USA. Examples are everywhere.
On July 1, 2008, in Denver, Colorado, Mayor John Hickenlooper stood with 700 guests for the singing of the “Star Spangled Banner” at his annual State of the City address.
A local jazz singer, Rene Marie, contracted to sing the national anthem, instead shocked the audience with the “Black National Anthem.”
Everyone in the audience gasped !
In unison, they swallowed hard! Rene Marie sat down with a sense of satisfaction as if she just put one over on her audience. She did!
Ms. Marie, a black woman, smugly disrespected America!
In a strange twist, Americans, in the main, cowered and refrained from commenting – fearing being labeled a racist. Some, however, stood up and spoke truth.
Denver Councilman Charlie Brown took to local talk radio later to blast the lack of the nation’s anthem at the proceedings. “There’s no replacement for the national anthem. They should have sung it. She sung it to advance her career, but maybe her career is not worth advancing.”
Meanwhile, only 1,000 miles away in Chicago, Barack Obama’s 20-year minister, Pastor Jeremiah Wright recently spoke eloquently in condemning America with “Not God Bless America, but God D*** America… for her sins against blacks and other minorities of the world.” And that’s not all.
Gross disrespect for America by indecent foreign national visitors!
The ‘habit’ spreads like wildfire, with little to no reaction or expression of Law-and-Order by our elected and appointed leaders. Why?
Mexican illegal aliens, in many locations across the nation during the past two years, dragged our nation’s flag, “Old Glory”, through the mud and across the concrete in their marches for their ‘rights’ to break our laws. They raised our beloved national flag upside down, below theirs… at a U S Post Office in Maywood, California. The same day, they set another U S flag afire… throwing epitaphs to long-time locals.
Ugly disrespect for America!
Last evening, I attended a speech by Los Angeles radio talk show host Terry Anderson, www.theterryandersonshow.com , in Northglenn, Colorado, a Denver suburb. He explained how illegal aliens conquered LA with sheer numbers and gangs… and how they have recently turned to killing blacks as a matter of standard operating procedure.
Illegals’ killing lack of respect for America.
“Do you notice how our politicians go after the Hispanic-American vote, the African-American vote, but never talk about going after the American vote,” Anderson said. “We are losing what it means to be an American in the UNITED states.”
I recently walked into my bank in Denver, Wells-Fargo, to see directions in Spanish posted everywhere.
Disrespect for English our national language by our own banks! Disregard for the vast majority in a foolish attempt to cater to a minority, most of whom are illegal aliens who are unlawfully present.
President Teddy Roosevelt, a great orator, gave stirring speeches on the critically important need for all USA patriots to assimilate so the nation is one. In order to become a citizen in this country, our laws tell us you must learn how to speak our language. But our own institutions, in pursuit of money, pander in many languages to those who reside here in violation of our laws. Wells-Fargo supports breaking of our laws.
Disrespect for America’s laws!
This great nation crumbles as the separation of ethnic groups expands. In his new book, THE NEW CASE AGAINST IMMIGRATION: BOTH LEGAL AND ILLEGAL, Mark Krikorian said, “America is losing its national identity through mass immigration. Legal and illegal, creating ‘transnationals’ that never fully assimilate into our American society.”
In making this statement, Mark emphasizes a recent South Carolina University report that summarized the carefully recorded response of more than 4,000 fully-employed illegal aliens… telling us that 62 percent are in the USA only to work and collect a nest-egg, then go home. They are not interested in U S citizenship. That means six out of ten will refuse amnesty and the keys to the kingdom; U S citizenship. That is the main reason why the ‘visitors’ don’t bother to take the time and energy to learn the English language.
“The combination of these two modern traits—transnationalism and multiculturalism—means that mass immigration today is much less likely to result in the kind of deep assimilation of the vast majority of immigrants and their children that is necessary for immigration to be successful.”
Loss of respect for what it means to be an American!
In other words, the dangerous process of Balkanizing or creating separate and disparate ethnic communities away and against the mainstream of America—allows disintegration and degradation of America as a nation-state.
Gentle readers, please stop and think about this for a moment; McCain and Obama are recklessly focused upon taking action to give away citizenship to tens of millions of folks… two-thirds of whom don’t want it, and don’t respect and honor the USA. NOT clever!
Clear examples of separatism are everywhere in the USA and other nations
Mark Krikorian continues! By following through with this process over time, we find examples in many unique societies in modern-day London, England; Paris, France; Amsterdam, Holland and many cities in Spain, Germany and Italy. Not only do they grow separate, they grow contentious against each other. Agitation and discontent fuel separatism and insurrection.
If you look at present day Miami, two such societies exist. Chicago illustrates this growing dilemma: more than two million illegal aliens. American blacks and the rest of Americans make up the rest of the Windy City. Los Angeles provides a violent example of disrespect for America as thousands of cars sport bumper stickers: “F*** You! This is Mexico.”
President Roosevelt specifically warned us
Another aspect of ‘trans-nationalism’ finds new legal and illegal immigrants quickly stepping into American society for all its benefits, but rigidly keeping the loyalty to their “home nation”… as most enjoy their pretend duel citizenship and connection via the Internet and inexpensive phone connections.
Thus, the adoption of the ‘consciousness of an American’ falls into the gutter while a confused sense of entitlement for all the U S social-services goodies… but supreme allegiance to one’s former country engenders further separation. That phenomenon results in the new hyphenated-American. Phrases like Spanish-American, Hispanic-American, Latino-American, Latina-American appear in the inevitable forms that must be filled-out.
And where are the intruders taught how to game the system in that way; usually the local U S Catholic Church.
Total disrespect for America, taught to disrespect by Americans !
As a fragile Republic, we cannot survive these uninvolved, un-assimilated, un-invested pseudo-Americans. And worse, we especially cannot afford to have tens of millions of foreign nationals displacing American citizens in the workplace during a very painful economic recession.
As syndicated columnist Michelle Malkin said, “When it comes to our immigration mess, no one has a deeper understanding of the facts than Mark Krikorian. Pay attention: America’s future is at stake.”
U.S. Congressman Tom Tancredo said, “The survival of Western culture stands at a crossroads.” Those who don’t stand with Tancredo are ignoring the Native American genius, Chief Seattle, who pointedly warned us; “All things are connected.”
For average citizens that call themselves “Americans”, the very foundation of America rots underneath them while their own PC leaders engage ‘multiculturalism and diversity’ as a politically correct term for national suicide. Multiculturalism stops American leaders in their tracks. Multiculturalism counters everything ‘American’.
The irony of this phenomenon stems from the fact that American culture allows the most people, the most security, the most opportunity, the most quality of life and the most enjoyable life experience. Do you see millions of people charging off for a better life in Zimbabwe, Sudan, China, Mexico, Bangladesh or India?
Multiculturalism disrespects the foundation of America by destroying the foundation of our language, our culture and our ethos as a civilization. In the end, we slit our collective throats with ‘multiculturalism’.
Multiculturalism: disrespect for America and being American!
“The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, or preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities.” President Teddy Roosevelt
If we might save our civilization as Mark Krikorian said, “We must stop all legal and illegal immigration.”

Our Troubled Country: Importing Poverty
June 17, 2008 by Administrator · Leave a Comment
Brian Williams reported to the nation last month that Detroit, Michigan high schools suffer a 76 percent drop-out/flunk-out rate for high school seniors. All totaled, 1.2 million eighteen year olds hit the streets functionally illiterate annually. In Denver, Colorado, 73 percent of children live in poverty.
U.S. Representative Tom Tancredo said, “Immigration, both legal and illegal, is the cause of a significant part of Colorado’s increase in child poverty.”
The number of children under the age of 18 living in poverty increased from 104,000 in 2000 to 180,000 in 2006, in Colorado. Colorado led the nation in child poverty, yet features only 4.6 million people—except—that state houses 500,000 and as high as 695,000 illegal alien migrants. Colorado schools suffer 43 different languages, which cause havoc in classrooms. One in five teachers quits or transfers out of Denver Public Schools every nine months. (Source: Rocky Mountain News)
“It is irresponsible for the media and the governor to not recognize the fact that immigration is largely to blame for this increase,” Tancredo said. “If Colorado were actually enforcing its own laws, we would reduce the number of people in the poverty category.”
However, Colorado Governor Bill Ritter (D) refuses to enforce H.B. 1023. The legislature passed that law in 2006 to fine and imprison employers of illegal aliens. Ritter won’t enforce it while Colorado taxpayers shell out $1.1 billion annually for all services for illegal aliens and their children.
The president of the Colorado Children’s Campaign gave a lame excuse, “…changing demographics of the state.” As in Detroit, Chicago, New York, Dallas, Houston and Los Angeles, political correctness disavows the reason for a total breakdown in U.S. schools and accelerating poverty.
“The research is clear,” Tancredo said. “An increase in immigration leads to an increase in poverty. If we truly want to do something about poverty in Colorado and our nation, we must stop importing poverty. We must begin enforcing the laws, primarily against hiring illegal aliens, which will force self-deportation of others in that category.”
How fast do immigrants and illegal migrants pour into the United States? For a stupefying understanding of the numbers, every 30 days, 182,000 to 200,000 legal immigrants and illegal aliens arrive in America. To give you an idea of how many people that represents: those immigrants fill two 100,000 seat Pasadena Rose Bowls. At the end of the month, they empty into the streets, communities and states of America at a cost of $346 billion annually to U.S. taxpayers. (Source: www.thesocialcontract.com) They overload schools, hospitals and prisons. Even the legal immigrants tap into billions of dollars for resettlement into this country.
During the next month, two more Rose Bowls fill up! Again, they empty out into America, month in and month out, year in and year out.
Across the nation, every aspect of immigration impedes America’s ability to solve poverty, create jobs, maintain living wages, sustain viable educational standards and keep pace with prison populations.
Both legal and illegal immigrants arrive from third world countries with cultures and educations that remain incompatible with America’s first world culture.
As those immigrants receive aid for their problems, The National Coalition for the Homeless, www.nationalhomeless.org reported 3.5 million homeless citizens struggled for survival in the streets of America in 2006. Of that number, 1.35 million consist of homeless children. Reports show 13 million American children suffer daily from malnutrition and hunger in America. A shocking 37 million Americans live below the poverty line, which is 12.7 percent of our population.
As reported by ABC’s Charles Gibson, an astounding 28 million Americans live on food stamps in 2008.
In my travels throughout Mexico, I witnessed our future. On the outskirts of Mexico City with 22 million people, in excess of two million people live in cardboard shacks. They squat for their morning constitutional with their chickens. They live in abject misery, filth, disease and hopelessness.
Guess what? They’re moving to America. Millions of them!
Third world slums began appearing along our borders (on our side) from Brownsville, Texas to San Diego, California in the 80s. They’re called “Colonias,” which in Spanish means “new neighborhoods.” They feature shacks, no sewers, no streets, no running water, no electricity, toilet facilities or waste pickup.
The New York Times, March 3, 1988, “Along the US Border, a Third World is Reborn,” reported, “Colonias are rusted trailers and shacks nailed together from tar paper and packing pallets without indoor toilets…with mounds of uncollected trash that attract rats…the lack of sanitation has polluted the ground water to the point where many residents drink their own waste…the colonias feature Third World levels of hepatitis, dysentery, diarrhea, skin rashes, cholera and tuberculosis…they are contaminated, explosive, fecal, filthy, illegal, miserable, polluted, powder kegs, putrid, shocking, sick, stench filled, suffering and wrenching.”
Since their appearance in the early 80s, according to the Times, the 1988 population totaled 185,000; the 1995 population exceeded 500,000; the 2005 population exceeded 1.5 million. At the current rate of growth, these human misery settlements shall reach 20 million by 2021. Little known to most Americans, Mexico expects to triple their population from 100 million to 300 million in this century. Thus, no end of the line of migrants plodding north to America in search of a better life!
I spent two weeks filming colonias in Texas. I haven’t been as sickened to my stomach since my travels in Asia. It’s worse than any description the New York Times or I could give you. Colonias represent human misery at its disturbing worst levels.
These slums represent a health hazard of unprecedented dimensions. Given enough time, large areas of southern California, Arizona and Texas will resemble the outskirts of Mexico City. Two decades of denial continues the expansion of American “colonias.”
Who becomes the final victim? America and her citizens plunge into poverty via the addition of two Rose Bowls loaded with immigrants every 30 days, month in and month out until our poor and middle class cannot find a job, a home or a place to run from this madness.
Can anyone name a single, solitary reason for continuing this kind of national suicide? Who brings it to you? Your U.S. States Senate and House of Representatives!

The Phenomenology of Power
May 22, 2008 by Administrator · 3 Comments
“Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t after you.” ~ Kurt Cobain
The strong desire to influence others manifests itself differently in people depending largely on the level of economic power, social influence, and knowledge at their disposal. Low-income women will seek to muster what resources they can to raise their children in a nurturing environment. Middle-income men will coach youth athletic teams providing mentoring and teaching discipline to young boys. Upper-income people fund think-tanks and foundations to end world hunger, fight disease and save the environment. Most of us do what is within our power to help each other.
It’s all good as long as these efforts are voluntary and the recipients of this good will wish to receive it. However, when coercion and deception are involved the best of intentions become wicked. When frustration and desperation put people at their wits end, they may cause harm to those they try to help. Dysfunctional childhoods may result in empathic failures and perverse predatory behavior. These human frailties can affect all classes of people. The destruction they cause is magnified by the wealth, power, and influence of the frustrated, the desperate, and the perverted.
The single mother living in the ghetto that locks her child in a closet while she is at work to keep him off the streets for his own protection is creating a monster. The little league coach who seeks trusting relationships with young boys so that he can later molest them deserves a special place in hell. The philanthropist who intervenes into the lives of “the disadvantaged” so that they can subjugate individual initiative to collective manipulation is evil incarnate. Appearances can be deceiving. Actions are revealing. Force and deception cannot be used for good purposes.
The poor mother who locks her child away and the middle-class coach who molests his players are rightfully seen as abusers no matter how safe the former is and how disciplined the latter is. It is easy to see how these actions have destroyed the individual spirit of their victims. Yet when someone points to the elite, who undermine entire cultures with smothering cures for their “disadvantages”, they are derided as “conspiracy theorists”. Of course, those with enough wealth, power, and influence who lock their children into institutions and/or sexually abuse them can get away with that too. Some even get away with murder; but I digress. The abuse I wish to point too is much more subtle and difficult to comprehend.
Upper class pretentious desires evolve into self-styled burdens that require their leadership. People with the power, influence and knowledge to affect social change always have an agenda; perhaps well-meaning, but also self-serving (whether financially or egotistically). Institutional mechanisms are then used to affect these changes. The elite must allow broad participation for these mechanisms to be sustainable. A façade of cooperation must be spread over the agenda so that the appearance of grass-roots initiative is given to the collective actions taken.
Elite power relationships justify these agendas that intervene into the lives and cultures of the “disadvantaged” with a mixture of greed and ego. The cooperative mechanisms created by the elite seek to develop institutional mechanisms. The natural order spontaneously created in society gives those with wealth and knowledge power and influence in proportion to their respect-worthy actions. When the respect-worthiness of their actions and plans do not meet the expectations of these influential leaders, then coercion and/or deception follows. “The poor fellows deserve it,” is the self-satisfying justification for the use of force and fraud to accomplish these agendas, “It’s for your own good.”
Techniques for achieving agendas of the powerful have grown from experts defining solutions and implementing policies to what is called Appreciation-Influence-Control (AIC). An appendix in the World Bank Participation Sourcebook spells out these techniques very well. You have to check out these links to really appreciate how the select few use their influence to establish control over the “disadvantaged”. The manipulation of “disadvantaged” by the “advantaged” is a fact available in plain sight and thus is just a conspiracy; and not a “conspiracy theory”. But how many people delve into the particulars of the World Bank website?
It’s a simple technique really based upon the fact that team spirit engages people’s emotions at deeper levels. So called “stakeholders” are allowed to participate in creating the organization that will eventually control them. This is done by tapping into local politicians, do-gooders and businessmen who want to create problem-solving organizations. These locals typically wish to retain local control (by themselves) and are wary of outsiders; like, say, World Bank types. An excerpt from their playbook explains it well:
“Appreciation Influence Control” (AIC) is both a philosophy and a model for action. The philosophy, anchored by the principle that power relationships are central to the process of organizing, was translated into a model for organizing development work by William E. Smith in the late 1970s and early 1980s. AIC is a workshopbased technique that encourages stakeholders to consider social, political, and cultural factors along with technical and economic aspects that influence a given project or policy. AIC (a) helps workshop participants identify a common purpose, (b) encourages participants to recognize the range of stakeholders relevant to that purpose, and (c) creates an enabling forum for stakeholders to pursue that purpose collaboratively. Activities focus on building appreciation through listening, influence through dialogue, and control through action. … In other words, AIC facilitates recognition of “the big picture.” This process has been implemented in a variety of sectors and settings, including local, regional, and national.
It goes on to explain that “investments must be redirected” and “institutional reforms and new policy directions” are needed. Now when the internationalist fascist minded corporate elite want to profit from malinvestments funded by international bankers to be paid back by taxpayers while masquerading as do-gooders for said taxpayers, they do not just bribe local elected officeholders and dictators. This obsolete “central power relationship” has been found to be unsustainable and big projects take years to build. The AIC technique solves this problem and has a better chance of being sustainable in the long run.
For instance, if a large power generator-constructing corporation wants to build a billion dollar dam in a third world country, there are three ways to do it. The free-market way would be to identify where the demand can justify the supply of this power at a profit and make the investment into building the damn based on future returns from satisfied customers. But where no such demand is present (supposedly where the free-market has “failed” to provide “needed infrastructure”) then taxpayers must foot the bill. In the old days, the corporate executives would just bribe the politicians at the top to get the project funded and perhaps even actually built. Now they start at the bottom to make it look like “the people” are demanding that it get built.
The above link provides several case studies of how the AIC technique has been successfully used for many projects around the world, large and small. So instead of showing how this is used by international fascists in third world countries (now called emerging markets) I want to use a case study closer to home. The insidious manipulation of this “workshop based technique that encourages stakeholders to consider social, political, and cultural factors along with technical and economic aspects that influence a given project or policy” is more subtle when it’s used here at home.
Big landholders in Florida (and elsewhere) are finding it increasingly difficult to get local politicians to change zoning regulations that allow development of their rural properties and also to use taxpayer monies to build the needed infrastructure. Zoning regulations are an egregious violation of property rights that is a hidden form of uncompensated eminent domain, yet 99% of the population thinks its “okay” due to the triumph of aesthetic chauvinisms and NIMBY ethics. Using taxpayer dollars to subsidize the rich getting richer is unmitigated fascism, but sold on the song of “creating jobs”. In the past, the answer to these development obstacles was to buy-off the local politicians usually through campaign contributions. However, as the novo communist environmentalists have grown in political power, a more modern approach is required.
The national trendy name for this approach is Smart Growth. Since the local politicians have been slow and inconsistent responding to the desires of the big landholders, environmentalists and developers a new supra-regional political structure is being created to go over their heads. In Central Florida the Smart Growth advocates have started a “grassroots” organization called My Region. My Region’s signature project “How Shall We Grow?” is a good case study of gathering local movers and shakers together to forge their golden chains while cui bono should be obvious. If you check out the websites at myregion.org, howshallwegrow.org and smartgrowth.org you will notice that individual property rights are a foreign concept. And people believe communism was a thing of the past.
First, coordinating mechanisms are “sponsored” to create “grassroots” bona fides that are chaired by the most powerful but must include a “diverse” membership. Then institutional mechanisms are organized by these “stakeholders” with favored politicians “putting some teeth” into the regulatory powers of the newly created institutional mechanism. Finally, bureaucratic weenies run the show. The only plans that count are those of the central planning command and control management and staff persons. The plans of the property owner must conform to their dictates. Some collectivists won’t be happy until all property use planning is cleared through a U. N. Planning and Zoning Commission.
All the while, a steady stream of gloom and doom press releases, symposiums, events and meetings with concerned speakers take place. Collectivists collect to pat each other on the back while painting individualism, liberty and property rights as just anachronistic hogwash. The planet is dying because people are poisoning Mother Earth with their very existence! The horror! Men must be chained or we shall all die. Survival of the species requires draconian methods to change how people think and act! OMG, I’m so scared, we must do something! Only central planners can save us!
“It is clear,” they stress, “that now is the time when we must combine our considerable intellect and sense of fairness and equity to shape our collective future.” — 1000 Friends of Florida, News Journal 1/29/2007
“It’s always a worry that these things are happening faster than we think,” he said. “Too many of the old-timers just took pictures of the old buildings but didn’t do anything to save them.” — News-Press 1/16/2007
“Planning was supposed to protect Florida resources, landscape and quality of life from sprawl since at least 1985, but local governments had granted the construction industry more than 100,000 exemptions from their plans by 2000 and state agencies challenged only four”, said author and documentary filmmaker Bill Belleville, telling a community forum in Fort Myers, “The growth plans are diluted. They have no teeth to them.”
“All six, county growth management director Merle Bishop, builders association executive director Scott Coulombe, consultant and planning commission member Augie Fragala, farm bureau executive director Heather Nedley, Sierra Club activist and planning commission member John Ryan, and Florida Bipartisan Civic Affairs Group local chapter co-founder Al Whittle, agreed that the county must seek public consensus on growth and density, establish precise calculation of the true economic impact of development decisions, and refine policy on construction in rural areas.”
The different options offered generally tout the wisdom of high-density, mixed-use growth. With no sense of irony, the pictures used to provide a model for what is supposedly needed in the future are of old downtown areas in Savannah, Georgia, St. Augustine, and Winter Park, Florida. All of these developments occurred before zoning laws restricting the use of the land and size of the buildings. You can bet that these bureaucrats never even considered the option that removing all zoning regulations and allowing people to really own their property and develop it to the dictates of the market would result in the desired outcome; and in an efficient, freedom-friendly way.
The market, due to changing demographics, has recently demanded mixed-use, high-density developments and the existing zoning regulations have had to be changed to allow them. Now the Johnny-Come-Lately urban planner PhDs think the answer to the problems they themselves created to begin with is to make everybody live in these type developments that they formerly shunned. Brilliant! Of course, these people would not have jobs if not for the institutional mechanisms used to force people to do what they don’t want to do. Utopia, to these planners, is when everybody follows their plan. To think that individuals could somehow have a legitimate plan for their own property is absurd to them.
In the end, a few big landholders will get giant planned communities with lots of conservation areas, preserved wetlands, wildlife corridors, and high-priced, high-density homes to reap heavy profits from. The taxpayers will pay the bill for extending roads, sewer, and water lines, building schools, fire stations and other infrastructure for the mega-developments. However, the small to medium sized landholders will be located outside of the designated urban services areas and denied access to these “public works” as well as the ability to decide how to use the property they supposedly own. Big developers, big banks, political charlatans, and a gang of bureaucrats will profit while the little guy gets screwed again.
The erosion of personal liberty is ongoing today due to the increasing regulation of people and property by central planners. The concept of property rights is at the heart of the matter. Undermining property rights is the most serious, yet subtle form of tyranny we face today. Smart Growth is just one example of the elite profiting from the desire of the masses to find a better life. Don’t get fooled again, the emperor has no clothes.
Central planning as the means to achieving economic utopia through the institutional mechanism of communistic political structures has been proven to be a lie. This lie killed millions of people and impoverished billions more before it collapsed upon itself. Central planning as the means to achieving environmental utopia through the institutional mechanism of fascist political structures will be proven to be a lie as well. How many millions of people must be killed and billions impoverished before it too finally collapses upon itself? Can you say Kyoto Treaty?
It is revealing that the MSM crucifies the poor and middle-class individual mercilessly when they act immoral, even when they have good intentions or perhaps provide marginal benefits to their victims; yet, the MSM will cheer loud and proud for the tyranny of elite central planners as they undermine the cornerstone of liberty: property rights. The destruction of our society by the powerful is more perverse than when done by the powerless, as the results are more widespread. Control is the elite end while appreciation and influence are their means. That is the phenomenology of power: subtle yet complete subjugation. Do not be regaled by ignorant scribes and emotional zealots touting the benefits of golden chains.

$346 Billion Illegal Alien Costs Annually: Health and Human Services
May 9, 2008 by Administrator · Leave a Comment
Every month, month in and month out, year in and year out, your U.S. senators and House representatives along with President Bush allow 182,000 legal and illegal immigrants to move into America—give or take a few hundred thousand. By years end, they total 2.18 million virtually uneducated, unskilled and lack English language abilities while arriving with a plethora of diseases and other health care needs.
Who pays? You do! How much? Each year, you shell out $346 billion in taxes to pay for those immigrants across 15 federal agencies.
The Department of Health and Human Services spent $672.9 billion in 2007 according to financial analyst Edwin S. Rubenstein.
“Immigrants are poorer, pay less tax, and are more likely to receive public benefits than American citizens,” said Edwin Rubenstein, reporting on the National Research Council’s new book: “The New Americans: Economic, Demographics and Fiscal Effects of Immigration.” The Social Contract Winter 2007-08. www.thesocialcontract.com
When legal immigrants arrive, your tax dollars funnel into their “Individual Development Accounts”. You pay them $1.00 for every dollar they place into a saving account. They receive up to $4,000.00 per household. In other words, they could not sustain themselves when they arrived, so you pay for them to stay. Neat government trick, huh?!
Congress pays out $25 million of your tax dollars annually to this little toilet bowl financial hole. Bush wants to add 900,000 accounts this year.
“In 2006, 38 million U.S. residents were foreign born,” Rubenstein said. “Most immigrants are poorly educated and lack basic skills required for middle class jobs, which include health benefits. Immigrants account for 59 percent of uninsured people.”
Latino immigrants do not get immunized, suffer higher rates of TB, experience higher obesity rates, suffer dental carries and use drugs, tobacco and alcohol. They rarely use contraception, which can be seen in their exploding unwed mother birth rates. Thus immigrants account for a disproportionate share of Medicaid spending.
“Currently Congress considers an expansion of benefits to 400 percent of the poverty line–$83,000.00 for a family of four,” Rubenstein said. “Approximately 6.7 million children and adults are covered. In 2006, federal expenditures totaled $5.5 billion. About $605 million was spent on immigrants.”
Adding to this bombshell cost assessment for legal and illegal immigrants; the “Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act of 1985” requires hospitals to serve illegal aliens who seek emergency care. Your tax collars pay $167 million for illegal aliens.
Drug addiction and alcoholism make up the fastest “disabilities” illegal aliens claim in our ER hospitals:
- In 1983: 3,000 cases
- In 1994: 101,000 cases
- In 2003: 325,000 cases
“EMTALA givers illegals more than medical treatment. A “disability” diagnosis automatically qualifies them for immediate cash transfer payments,” Rubenstein said. “The numbers are staggering.”
- 127,900 illegals on SSI in 1982
- 601,400 illegals in 1992
- 2,000,000 illegals in 2003
While they use our medical services, illegal and legal immigrants send cash transfers back home to their own countries in excess of $80 billion annually. Mexico alone receives $23 billion annually. All the while, they send our working poor into the unemployment lines or welfare.
As reported two weeks ago by Brian Williams at NBC, “Twenty-eight million Americans received food stamps in the month of April.”
Dr. Steve Camarota of www.cis.org said, “The persistently high rate of welfare use by immigrant households is almost entirely explained by their heavy reliance on Medicaid, use of which has actually risen.”
Of special note, 86 hospitals and ER’s bankrupted out of existence in California in the past six years. Why? That state houses 4,000,000 illegal aliens.
When you combine the figures of the phenomenon of 400,000 babies born each year in the USA to illegal mothers, the costs in human services reaches into the billions and billions of dollars. All from American taxpayers! But it doesn’t stop there! Taxpayers must shell out their money to pay for K-12 education along with ESL and breakfasts and lunch programs for our new poor class.
With America importing 182,000 more legal and illegal immigrants every 30 days, it’s a matter of time before more schools fail to educate, more hospitals bankrupt and prisons explode with added prisoners from foreign lands.

Enormous Cost of Illegal Criminal Aliens
April 22, 2008 by Administrator · 4 Comments
President Bush brags, “They do the jobs that American citizens won’t do.”
He neglects to say, “Oh, and by the way, for slave wages, social security fraud, identity theft, drunk driving, trashing our schools, hospitals and, oh, I shouldn’t leave out—crime!”
Illegal alien migration into the United States costs American taxpayers $346 billion annually as reported by the National Research Council. While employers of illegal aliens rake-in billions of dollars, the US citizens subsidize what might be called organized “Slavery in 21st Century America.”
Edwin Rubenstein exposes the gargantuan costs of illegal aliens in the National Research Council’s new book: “The New Americans: Economic, Demographics and Fiscal Effects of Immigration.” The Social Contract Winter 2007-08. www.thesocialcontract.com
Rubenstein said, “Illegal criminal aliens play an increasingly large role in the Department of Justice’s workload and budgetary needs. Criminal aliens are an increasing burden on U.S. prisons. In 1980, federal and state facilities housed 9,000 criminal aliens. By 2004 federal, state and local jails held:
- 46,000 in federal prisons
- 74,000 in state prisons
- 147,000 in local jails
“Between 27 and 29 percent of all prisoners in federal prisons are criminal aliens. More than 60 percent arrive from Mexico while the rest hail from 164 different countries.”
Cost to you? In 2008, Bureau of Prisons calls for $5.4 billion. Because of budget shortfall, 100,000 illegal alien convicts still walk the streets. They prove that crime pays!
Rubenstein said, “The Government Accounting Office recently analyzed the rap sheets of more than 55,000 illegal convicted felons held in prisons. It found:
- The average criminal alien was arrested for 13 prior offenses.
- 12 percent were for murder, robbery, assault, and sexually related crimes.
- Only 21 percent were immigration offenses; the rest were felonies.
- 81 percent of their arrests occurred after 1990.
“In a word, criminal aliens are not casual lawbreakers. Most are recidivists or career criminals.”
“Doing the jobs that Americans won’t do,” Bush said.
“An overhaul of the FBI’s IT capability is essential for border security,” Rubenstein said. “In 2008, the FBI requested $90.5 million to improve its capabilities for providing identification services for federal immigration and law enforcement agencies.”
Although rarely discussed, human trafficking expands into America like an unfettered virus. Trafficking supports modern-day slavery.
“An estimated 800,000 human beings are trafficked across international borders each year, “Rubenstein said. “More than 17,500 victims are trafficked into the United States annually. A huge 80 percent of them are forced into sexual servitude.”
The DOJ spends $4.8 million and carries 34 positions in the Civil Rights Division’s human trafficking initiative. Your tax dollars at work for something that shouldn’t be going on in the first place if Bush and Congress enforced our immigration laws!
Yet another aspect of this criminal world stems from visa overstay absconders. Federal judges expelled 460,000 illegal aliens via deportation, yet allowed them to go free without follow-up. They remain in country enjoying 30 American cities with ‘sanctuary policy’ that protects them from deportation. We have met the enemy and they are our mayors, governors, president and Congress!
Not mentioned in the report, but mentioned by Newsweek last year, 15,000 MS-13 gang members now operate in 33 states. What do they sell? They provide $130 billion in drugs to our kids and citizens annually. How much do we spend to stop the drug trade? According to www.leap.cc co-founder and retired police officer Howard Wooldridge, American taxpayers spend $6 billion per month on the War on Drugs with little to zero results in the past 37 years. Drugs remain ample, pure and cheaper than in 1971 when the Drug War started under Nixon.
What remains most troubling about this incredible expenditure of our tax dollars? George Bush knows exactly what continues down at the border, but refuses to spend any time or money that would once and for all—stop illegal immigration. George Bush refuses to arrest, prosecute and jail employers of illegal aliens from big companies like Hormel, Tyson, Swift, McDonalds and other fast food companies, roofing contractors and big construction job contractors.
Therefore, our kids, our wives, daughters and we remain at the mercy of criminal aliens roaming our country untouched by un-enforced laws.
As you read this, Bush and Congress provide one of the biggest frauds on the U.S. taxpayer in the 21st century. Does it jolt you? If our leadership watched the financial bottom line of the U.S. like an optimally run business, this criminal invasion would be stopped.
Instead, our three presidential candidates argue back and forth about whose wearing a flag lapel pin while the other tells us we fear immigrants not like us so we turn to guns and religion.
Meanwhile, George Bush says, “They do the jobs that Americans won’t do.”

Immigration’s Education Impact: America Losing Its Mind
April 18, 2008 by Administrator · Leave a Comment
As a long time teacher from the early 1970s, I witnessed America’s fall from educational excellence to learning mediocrity. Or worse—our educational system evicted unending functionally illiterate kids into mainstream society!
My principal ‘encouraged’ me to promote students to the next grade level even though they failed their tests. Those kids faltered in the classroom because their parents failed them as to homework and educational attitude.
Teachers called it “affirmative action grading.” Students learned they could goof off, never turn in homework and still be passed to the next grade. By the time they reached their senior year, they enjoyed full-fledged avoidance of academic work for free grades. They graduated, essentially illiterate, to move on to “affirmative action jobs.” In other words, they got something for nothing! Then, they took jobs where they ‘showed up’ for a paycheck.
We drove our standards so low that our kids suffered a miasma of consequences reverberating into the 21st century.
One evening of listening to the comedian Jay Leno with his ‘Jay Walking’ questions on the streets of Los Angeles will give you an idea of how stupid our youth show themselves. He asks questions a sixth grader should be able to answer like, “Who was the first president of the United States?” He receives answers like, “Paul McCartney, George Bush, Michael Jordan….”
“The Department of Education’s mission is to promote student achievement and preparation for global competitiveness by fostering educational excellence and ensuring equal access,” said Edwin Rubenstein, reporting on the National Research Council’s new book: “The New Americans: Economic, Demographics and Fiscal Effects of Immigration.” The Social Contract Winter 2007-08. www.thesocialcontract.com
“Immigration has a profound impact on education,” Rubenstein said. “Immigrant children are poorer than native-born children, and their numbers have increased far faster. At least 19 percent of all K-12 enrollments are the result of immigration. In excess of 9.2 million are immigrants or the children of immigrants. Because of their lack of language abilities, they take 25 percent of funding. Out of $499.1 billion in the 2005 school year, $125 billion was spent on foreign born children.”
Immigration will account for 96 percent of the future increases in school populations over the next 50 years—if current legal and illegal immigration maintains the current inflow into the United States from 2.0 to 2.5 million annually.
In 2001, nine million students could not speak English. “In the Rand Corporation’s final analysis, the added costs for language assistance for illegal alien children and (anchor babies), costs American taxpayers $3.8 billion annually,” Rubenstein said.
In California, students speak over 100 languages. Connecticut features 140 languages. Every state suffers multiple languages.
What happens in the classroom? Answer: total breakdown of education for American students as well as billions of dollars spent on educating children from foreign countries that live illegally in the United States.
But it doesn’t stop at the secondary level. Federal law expressly forbids illegal alien students from receiving any postsecondary education benefit. However, several states violate the law.
“Kansas state universities currently have more than 9,000 students enrolled who are identified as non-U.S. citizens,” Rubenstein said. “During the fall of 2004, illegal alien students received taxpayer-subsidized tuition reductions of more than $3,000.00 in three of the states’ major colleges…thus Kansas expressly rewards aliens who have violated federal law by giving them a taxpayer subsidy that is denied to lawful American citizens or legal immigrants.”
As to the ‘sinking’ of American education, California proves the bow of the Titanic. Illegal and legal immigrants flood into that state with such speed, California taxpayers must build one new school and staff it with teachers every day, seven days a week—in order to keep up with the flood of immigrant children. Result? Dismal failure of education for California children. Jay Leno illustrates that failure with his simple questions to our nation’s youth.
To place this human flood into perspective, on average, the United States government allows 182,000 legal and illegal alien immigrants into this country every month. They total 2.2 million added people each year, year in and year out. None of them possess jobs when they enter this country. The illegal alien migrants cost U.S. taxpayers $346 billion annually as shown in this report.
At the same time, 14 million Americans stand in unemployment lines weekly. Thirteen million American children live below the poverty line. Twenty-eight million Americans live on food stamps. This year 1.5 million Americans remain homeless on our streets. Home foreclosures from job losses impact hundreds of thousands of Americans this year. The average American credit card holder runs a $9,240.00 balance. H-1B, H-2B and L-1 visas given to foreigners displaced 1.0 million American workers in the past five years. Additionally, over three million American manufacturing jobs exited to overseas countries while the Rust Belt starting in Detroit, Michigan loses 1,000 manufacturing jobs a week.
You may ask fellow Americans, what sense do these inequities make? Who continues this madness? President Bush and your U.S. Congress! Why? Madness cannot be explained!
Can American education survive the flood of immigration? If Jay Leno asked someone crossing the street in LA, “Can you locate the United States on a map?”
“Gee, is that a rock band somewhere in Texas?” would be the functionally illiterate answer.

Economic and Fiscal Impact of Immigration
April 11, 2008 by Administrator · Leave a Comment
American taxpayers taken to the cleaners…
Illegal alien migration into the United States costs American taxpayers $346 billion annually reported by the National Research Council. While employers of illegal aliens rake-in billions of dollars, the US citizens subsidize what may be called organized “Slavery in 21st Century America.”
While Congress facilitates outsourcing, insourcing and offshoring of American jobs by the thousands weekly, that same Congress imports 182,000 legal immigrant monthly who need jobs. Another estimated 100,000 illegal aliens arrive each month without jobs. All those immigrants seize jobs from American citizens at slave wages.
What happens to the American taxpayer?
“Immigrants are poorer, pay less tax, and are more likely to receive public benefits than American citizens,” said Edwin Rubenstein, reporting on the National Research Council’s new book: “The New Americans: Economic, Demographics and Fiscal Effects of Immigration.” The Social Contract Winter 2007-08. www.thesoicalcontract.com
The NRC found that the average immigrant household receives $13,326 in federal welfare and pays $10,664.00 in federal taxes. Thus, American taxpayers shell out $2,682.00 for each immigrant household.
In addition, the report showed that immigrants affect 15 different executive agencies of the U.S. government.
- Earned Income Tax Credit—fraud is rampant and IRS does little to verify existence of children.
- Clean Air and Climate Change—these goals are unattainable as long as US population grows—driven by unending immigration.
- Emergency medical treatment—US taxpayer money provides $250 million a year to help hospitals defray costs for illegal aliens.
- Bureau of Land Management—the Interior Department spends $1 million to mitigate environmental damage done by illegals crossing US southern border.
- Migrant educational grants—intended to help states educate children of illegal workers. More fraud from over-counting.
- Office of Foreign Labor Certification—immigrant workers depress wages for US citizens resulting in declines in federal revenues at $100 billion annually.
As shown on CBS with Katie Couric this past week, 300,000 pregnant Mexican women cross the border to birth their babies, known as ‘anchor babies’, in American hospitals at an average cost of $6,000.00 per birth with no complications. If the child suffers heart defects, Downs Syndrome, Autism or any other problems, the costs jump to $500,000.00 with long term care into the millions of dollars. All footed by the America taxpayer!
Not mentioned in Couric’s report, that child enjoys free breakfasts and lunches through 13 years of publicly funded education at an average cost of $7,000.00 per year. Additionally, American taxpayers foot the bill for all medical and housing assistance for the child and mother. More hidden costs add up with ESL classes to teach the child English. Connecticut alone suffers 120 languages in their schools while Colorado suffers over 40 foreign languages that cripple their classrooms.
The list of expenses paid for by American taxpayer soars with time and numbers of illegal aliens. Additionally, legal immigrants sponsor their relatives in chain migration and family reunification at US taxpayer expense.
These immigrants take American jobs while they burn American taxpayer funds for immigrant welfare. This all happens while the US national debt approaches $10 trillion. Immigrants flood into this country while jobs cascade out to China where we owe $1 trillion in T-bills as of 2008. Additionally, we suffer a $700 billion annual trade deficit.
Once those illegal aliens hit this country, half of them work off the books and do not pay $401 billion dollars annually according to the 2005 Bear Stearns Report. Additionally, they form the second largest underground economy in the world. Both legal and illegal immigrants send $80 billion back to their home countries in cash transfers on untaxed money.
When does it end? Not any time soon! Who pays? You do! Like the proverbial golden calf, the United States taxpayer bleeds to death daily while our president and Congress fiddle, faddle and scratch their generous rear ends while they facilitate the death of America’s middle class.
Our politicians create the problems they campaign to solve; but once in office, as John McCain, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have proven with their time in the U.S. Senate—they work more against Americans than for them. The proof in the aforementioned report is, as they say, “in the pudding!”

America – Propagate or Die
April 4, 2008 by Administrator · Leave a Comment
According to the Vatican, Islam is now the largest single religion in the world. Statistics, partly from the United Nations, show Muslims comprise 19.2 percent of the world’s population and Catholics only 17.4. Yet, when all Christian groups are counted, Christians make up at least 33 percent of the world’s population, about 2 billion people.
What is increasingly coming to light is the reality that, due to immigration, Muslims are moving into large and small communities in developed, civilized countries across the globe. As in European Union and Great Britain, America is experiencing an increased Muslim population unmatched in our history.
Mark Steyn makes major points in following the world’s demographic trends in his 2006 book “America Alone: The End of the World as we know it.” He doesn’t enter into the depths of history and our broken moral and foundational traditions. But he leads us to the same conclusions while saying that America is the last hope for avoiding future Islamic inroads and the destruction of Western Civilization.
Is America following Europe’s soft road?
The statistics on birth rates are particularly revealing. Though the United States still has a propagation rate of 2.11 babies per 1000, the European Union average is now 1.38. The United Kingdom sits at 1.6. The Muslim birthrate is the highest is the world at 3.4 per 1000.
Officially there are an estimated 20 million Muslims in Europe. It’s difficult to gauge the population of Muslims in the United States. But the number of mosques being built has exploded with an estimated 2000 established mosques with 100-200 more being built each year. Even our military are building mosques on American bases.
The tools of the Muslim immigrants, as well as others, is America’s preoccupation with “political correctness” and liberal tolerance for the intolerant. Instead of assimilating into American communities, they now push for accommodation to their religious practices in public whether it’s in our schools or airports (foot baths). Despite the underlying Christian foundation of America, we have turned away from that legacy to accept an uncertain future.
We will probably see more incidents in America like the following in Great Britain this past week: It was reported that a white, Muslim bus driver forced his passengers to vacate the (city) bus just so he could observe one of the Koran-required five daily prayers.

Much like the European Continent, Great Britain, Canada and others once considered the epiphany of Western Civilization, America appears to be following in their footsteps.
We stand at a crossroads with multiple and major problems facing America’s status as a Great Nation. Any road we take, the trip will be arduous. There is one issue which could greatly affect America’s survival as a great Christian nation. It’s called propagation.
It’s not just about numbers but the numbers show what civilized Christian nations are doing to themselves. Steyn barely touches on how much the influences of birth control, abortion and affluence have contributed to the demographics and populations of Western nations.
The world is now 6.5 billion strong. In his 1968 book “Population Bomb,” Paul Ehrlich predicted a population exploding and outgrowing the planet. What he didn’t foresee was that five years after his book’s release, the U.S. Supreme Court would fulfill the desires of a few radical women and legalize killing future generations.
America has effectively decreased the reproduction of themselves. We are short around 35-40 million citizens over the last 35 years. Does this speak to our betterment?
When women accepted the idea that control of their reproductive systems was a cornerstone of our nation, and men believed them, we became worse than barbarians. America has settled for self-destruction in the name of women’s rights and convenience.
Unfortunately the decadent decade of the 1960s created a horror of life itself and the natural responsibility to bear children. Add the Darwinian belief that the more affluent a people, the more children they would have. The opposite occurred. With the availability of birth control and abortion in most western cultures, both the affluent and less affluent have availed themselves of less children.
As a whole, our nation which once depended on God’s Providence, morality, and law has all but abandoned such for feminizing and softening us up for the future — complete control under a Islamic State practicing Sharia (law system). No liberty–no freedom.
Save America — Make babies! … Raise them up in the way they should go.
God said to Adam and Eve and repeated to Noah, “Be Fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth….” (Genesis 1.28; 9:1)

Two Things Infinite: The Universe and Human Stupidity
January 18, 2008 by Administrator · Leave a Comment
Notice presidential candidates on both sides promise more job growth, bigger pay checks and an expanding economy! They talk about sustainable growth and greater economic progress. All of it depends on growth.
If you drove an hour to work each day in bumper-to-bumper traffic in Los Angeles, would you want more growth? When you stand in a long line at the grocery store in Chicago, do you want more people in ‘Chi Town’? If you walked to work through the overloaded streets of New York City, would you demand more skyscraper apartment buildings to give you even more crowded sidewalks? How about trying to drive to work in Atlanta where they must build a second beltway around the city to alleviate the mind-numbing traffic on the first beltway? Do Atlanta residents want more growth?
If your husband stood six feet tall and weighed 300 pounds, would you like to see him add another 50 pounds as a positive aspect of growth? If you suffered cancer, and millions of Americans suffer from it, and die–would you like to see that cancer enjoy unlimited ‘growth’ as it takes over your body? Growth is good, right?! Everything should keep growing until it bursts!
This week, the Associated Press celebrated that 4.3 million newborns graced the United States in 2006. They called it a ‘birth boomlet’. Economists and policymakers said, “The increase in births is good news.” What’s causing 90 percent of our growth? Legal and illegal immigration!
Albert Einstein said, “Only two things are infinite—the universe and human stupidity.”
Since the United States houses 300 million people, how about adding another 100 million, even 200 million and, what the heck, let’s add another 300 million people to the USA, just to see what happens.
Let’s not look at China, India and Mexico to see what’s already happened. That would be asking too much of anyone with an ounce of common sense.
Lester Brown, publisher of “State of the World” said, “We recently entered a new century, but we are also entering a new world, one where the collisions between our demands and the earth’s capacity to satisfy them are becoming daily events. It may be another crop-withering heat wave, another village abandoned because of invading sand dunes, or another aquifer pumped dry. If we do not act quickly to reverse the trends, these seemingly isolated events will occur more and more frequently, accumulating and combining to determine our future.
“Resources that accumulated over eons of geological time are being consumed in a single human lifespan. We cross natural thresholds that we cannot see and violating deadlines that we do not recognize. These deadlines, determined by nature, are not politically negotiable.
“Nature has many thresholds that we discover only when it is too late. For example, when we exceed the sustainable catch of a fishery, the stocks begin to shrink. Once this threshold is crossed, we have a limited time in which to back off and lighten the catch. If we fail to meet this deadline, breeding populations shrink to where the fishery is no longer viable, and it collapses.
“We know from earlier civilizations that the lead indicators of economic decline were environmental, not economic. The trees went first, then the soil, and finally the civilization itself.
“Our situation today is far more challenging because in addition to shrinking forests and eroding soils, we must deal with falling water tables, more frequent crop-withering heat waves, collapsing fisheries, expanding deserts, deteriorating rangelands, dying coral reefs, melting glaciers, rising seas, more-powerful storms, disappearing species, and, soon, shrinking oil supplies. Although these ecologically destructive trends have been evident for some time, and some have been reversed at the national level, not one has been reversed at the global level.
“The bottom line is that the world is in what ecologists call an “overshoot-and-collapse” mode. Demand has exceeded the sustainable yield of natural systems at the local level countless times in the past. Now, it is doing so at the global level. Forests are shrinking for the world as a whole. Fishery collapses are widespread. Grasslands are deteriorating on every continent. Water tables are falling in many countries. Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions exceed CO2 sequestration.
“In 2002, a team of scientists led by Mathis Wackernagel, who now heads the Global Footprint Network, concluded that humanity’s collective demands first surpassed the earth’s regenerative capacity around 1980. Their study, published by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, estimated that global demands in 1999 exceeded that capacity by 20 percent. The gap, growing by 1 percent or so a year, is now much wider. We are meeting current demands by consuming the earth’s natural assets, setting the stage for decline and collapse.
“The world is facing the emergence of a geopolitics of scarcity, which is already highly visible in the efforts by China, India, and other developing countries to ensure their access to oil supplies. In the future, the issue will be who gets access to not only Middle Eastern oil but also Brazilian ethanol and North American grain. Pressures on land and water resources, already excessive in most of the world, will intensify further as the demand for biofuels climbs. This geopolitics of scarcity is an early manifestation of civilization in an overshoot-and-collapse mode, much like the one that emerged among the Mayan cities competing for food in that civilization’s waning years.”
What’s the difference between Lester Brown and this writer? Answer: I’ve seen what he writes about.
My conclusion: this country’s leaders and general population prove to be dumber than a box of gerbils. We’re on course to be the fastest growing, most successful civilization—only to fall on our own sword by immigrating ourselves into this “Human Katrina.” Our children become guppies in a sea of oblivion.
This country MUST implement a 10 year moratorium on all immigration!
