Multiculturalism, globalism, “open borders,” and the dissolution of nations

by Peter Goodchild

THE CORROSION of Western civilization can be seen in a group of interrelated political events, as exemplified in Canada, my own country: multiculturalism, globalism, “open borders,” the dissolution of nations, my concerns especially since the period of 2008 to 2011, when I was in the Middle East and saw these things from a perspective not possible for the average Canadian.

Most Westerners live in a world of illusion. They might spend their time “catching the news” on a TV set or a computer, but they are unaware that the main news-media are owned by gigantic corporations, which have a hidden globalist agenda. Yet most people nowadays do not often read serious books, and so they have little access to genuine in-depth information. If you push them far enough, they will only say, “Well, I believe. . . .”

What do Canadians think they are learning by having their eyes glued to a TV set? They believe that since Canada has 10 million km2 of land, it can keep bringing in more immigrants for eternity, even though most of the land is uninhabitable, and that with sufficient goodwill one can have infinite growth on a finite planet.

They believe that people of European descent, who composed more than 80 percent of Canada until recent times, are guilty of centuries of rather uncertain crimes, perhaps including the alphabet, education, democracy, modern medicine, and science. They believe the world should be controlled by a benevolent dictatorship, with all history, nationality, parenthood, and even gender scrubbed out of people’s brains.

The most important question, though, is not some vague issue of “ethnicity” but rather that of the political motive for these developments. “Multiculturalism” really means no culture at all, no values, no past, no goals, no hopes, no future. The ultimate message is that Earth should become a terribly crowded but profitable slave planet, and that resistance is useless.

Globalism and Western Decline

Around 4000 B.C. there arose a people, probably living north of the Black Sea, to whom we now refer as the early Indo-Europeans. They were the first people to use iron (versus bronze) weapons, and also the first to use horse-drawn chariots – perhaps indeed the first to domesticate horses for any purpose. After about 1000 B.C. there arose a division between the eastern (Persian) and western Indo-Europeans (Greeks), or, in other words, between the Asians and the Europeans. The Indo-Europeans in Persia were a minority in a sea of Asians and as a result ended up assimilating Asian customs. But the Indo-Europeans in Greece were a majority and thus managed to impose their aristocratic libertarian culture, the idea that the leader cannot be a despot but is first among aristocratic equals. This the world of the Iliad. Herodotus indicates the split in his frequent distinctions between the Persians and the Greeks. He claims that the Persian world was characterized by despotism, while the Westerners, the Greeks, were a people of relative freedom, aristocratic equality, and eventually democracy for all free men, including property-owning farmers.

The people who have that Western legacy, however, are now disappearing from much of Europe and North America. Instead, we have “multiculturalism,” which really means the dismantling of “culture,” the decline of the West. In our schools, young people are now taught to be ashamed of their legacy, and any courses in the social sciences are perverted to show the “guilt” of those who spent thousands of years developing Western civilization. How did these regrettable changes come about?

To answer this question, one must first note that in most Western countries there is no longer a real democracy, but rather a barely disguised one-party system. The elite of the supposed left and right spend their time together – the same restaurants, the same marriages, the same golf courses. For a change of pace they switch to journalism – and so much for freedom of the press. During an election, it would be possible to make a list of all the slogans, mix up those items, and then ask someone to match the slogans with the parties. But it would turn out that the matching could not be done.

Actually there is only one slogan: “Bodies are good for business.” So the population must be kept expanding forever. The price we pay for overpopulation and over-immigration, however, is high unemployment, environmental degradation, inadequate housing, traffic congestion, overloaded social services, high crime-rates, losses of water and farmland, and declining natural resources of all kinds. Overcrowding also leads to mental illness: in an urban environment, our nerves are often like wires that have been tightened to a point where their molecules will no longer hold.

The stage for decline was set by the lowering of intellectual capacity. Most people, unfortunately, don’t react to much of anything anymore. One of the main reasons for this decline is that people don’t really become adults. We have created a world of cultural neoteny – prolonged childish behavior, a milieu of “dumbing down” that stretches from birth to death. “Neoteny” is a biological term referring to remaining juvenile for a long period after birth. Obviously humans do this anyway – it takes years for an infant to turn into an adult. But a great deal of modern political sloganeering has the effect, consciously or otherwise, of keeping people silly and childish for life. Ibsen’s play A Doll’s House was an early look into that, at least in terms of women. Predictions of cultural neoteny can also be seen in Huxley’s Brave New World and in a somewhat grimmer form in Orwell’s 1984. This neoteny is pervasive, but it can be seen in such forms as the decline in literacy and the decline in education.

It’s curious to note, however, that there is a definite substratum of the public that disagrees with official policies. On-line news articles that allow comments from viewers get deluged with people expressing heretical views. Then the comments are shut off, and it’s back to Business as Usual – literally. These dissident members of the general public have rarely been brought together, and each person is largely unaware that there are many others holding the same views. The politically orthodox may be enforcing the rules for most daily conversation, but the disquiet never entirely disappears.

If civilization is defined by the presence of writing, then the decline of Western civilization might be defined by the disappearance of interest in serious texts – from the Iliad onward. People don’t read books as much as they used to. No one seems to feel guilty for the fact that instead of reading a book called X they have merely watched a movie called X, based on the book. Yes, it’s true that a movie sometimes has advantages over print, but in general to make a movie out of a book one has to reduce it to action and dialogue, and all the exposition and analysis has to be removed. The time frame of a movie also means that a great deal of detail will be cut out. Not much meaningful discussion can take place when the person to whom one is speaking is convinced that books and movies are simply different “media” providing the same educational service.

A similar decline can be found in formal education. There was a time when the purpose of a university education was to allow young people to explore the outer regions of space and time. Now it’s just training in how to use a cash register. The lowest clerk in the huge building labeled “administration” has a more pleasant job, and much greater job security, than the average instructor. It’s money that keeps the university churning, apparently, not some vague and pretentious search for wisdom. Teachers are day-laborers, easily replaced, and it takes no great skill to deal with the reading materials supplied by the corporations for their future slaves.

“Education” of the new sort is more form than substance: teachers are so afraid of being accused of heresy that the students are given little real information. The average young person in the modern world spends about twenty thousand hours doing school work, yet nearly all of that is a waste of time, because a job at the end of that road does not require the ability to think in any Platonic or Aristotelian sense. Modern education involves little real learning, and far more time is spent on mere indoctrination.

Any form of “nationalism,” any statement of pride in one’s country, was discredited. Furthermore, any specific form of ethnicity or religion was downplayed. Western culture in general was denigrated, and Westerners were largely associated with colonialism. Reversing colonialism meant celebrating non-Western cultures. The new attitude was that “all cultures are equal.”

By propagating an “underdog” mentality among Westerners, globalists have encouraged the nanny state, with people living in perpetual imbecility and irresponsibility. There is now a strong sense of “wrong,” but especially when these victims look at themselves. They hate their own culture and their own heritage. They live with a sense of guilt and shame, they suffer from self-loathing. They feel a need for self-abasement. They have low self-confidence, low self-assurance, low self-esteem.

Confirmed underdogs have self-destructive attitudes about sexuality, marriage, and the family. To them, a stable marriage, heterosexual and monogamous, is anathema. What better way to prevent the growth of what used to be called a “real man” than to suggest to a young boy that, deep down, he might not be a boy but a girl? (The same in reverse would apply to girls.) And so we create (or imagine) multiple “genders,” “bi-” this and “poly-” that, psychologically disturbed mutations who have no chance of standing up against the totalitarian state. (How odd that no other species of mammal has more than two genders!)

But above all, to be accepted in modern society one must now proclaim that Western culture is guilty of some nameless crime, making it necessary to give preferential treatment to any and all other cultures. Of course, that is a belief with which those “other cultures” are always happy to agree. And once that “guilt” has become established as “fact,” every piece of writing that appears in public must emphasize “multiculturalism” at all costs.

All “respectable” political or religious groups shuffling for power now try to portray themselves as holier, more pious, than the others, but really they all have the same goal: to establish a world government, and to turn the masses into obedient slaves.

The Growth of Cultural Marxism

The moral and intellectual fabric of Western society has been disintegrating for some time. To a large extent the destruction can be blamed on a form of Marxism, socialism, left-wing thinking, “underdog” mentality, which has encouraged the nanny state, with people living in perpetual imbecility and irresponsibility. In the middle of the last century, Marxism never had much luck in intellectual contests among Westerners, so it had to burrow underground, eroding the foundations of modern society and leaving people in a state of perpetual self-doubt and abnegation. This is what is called “cultural Marxism.” Not much of the reality of cultural Marxism is clearly evident: most of it is experienced as a mere premonition, like that of a coming change in the weather.

Cultural Marxism began in the early twentieth century, when Marxism in the usual sense (i.e. economic Marxism) was a failure in Western Europe; in the First World War, for example, most people were far more interested in defending their country than in overthrowing their government. Cultural Marxism arose because, in order to win in the West, Marxists realized they would have to go underground, working on the “culture” rather than openly advocating revolution. The movement began roughly with Georg Lukács and Antonio Gramsci, who claimed that in order for Marxism to succeed in the West, it was vital to destroy the existing culture by sowing the seeds of doubt regarding all traditional Western moral values.

Hence the formation of the Institute for Social Research at the Goethe University Frankfurt, and its offspring, some of whom (at various times) were Herbert Marcuse, Theodor Adorno, Leo Lowenthal, Max Horkheimer, Walter Benjamin, and Erich Fromm. Following Hitler’s rise to power in 1933, the Institute left Germany, finally moving to New York City, where it was affiliated with Columbia University.

In “The Origins of Political Correctness” (version of 2000), William S. Lind breaks cultural Marxism down into five parts:

“Where does all this stuff that you’ve heard about . . . the victim feminism, the gay rights movement, the invented statistics, the rewritten history, the lies, the demands, all the rest of it – where does it come from? For the first time in our history, Americans have to be fearful of what they say. . . . .

“We call it “Political Correctness”. . . .

“Political Correctness is cultural Marxism. It is Marxism translated from economic into cultural terms. . . . If we compare the basic tenets of Political Correctness with classical Marxism the parallels are very obvious. . . .

“First of all, both are totalitarian ideologies. The totalitarian nature of Political Correctness is revealed nowhere more clearly than on college campuses. . . .

“Indeed, all ideologies are totalitarian because the essence of an ideology . . . is to take some philosophy and say . . . certain things must be true. . . . That is why ideology invariably creates a totalitarian state.

“Second, the cultural Marxism of Political Correctness, like economic Marxism, has a single factor explanation of history. Cultural Marxism . . . says that all history is determined by . . . which groups . . . have power over which other groups. . . .

“Third, certain groups . . . are a priori good, and other groups . . . are evil . . . regardless of what any of them do. . . .

“Fourth, both economic and cultural Marxism rely on expropriation. . . . When the cultural Marxists take over a university campus, they expropriate through things like quotas for admissions. . . .

“And finally, both have a method of analysis that automatically gives the answers they want. . . . . For the cultural Marxist, it’s deconstruction. Deconstruction essentially takes any text, removes all meaning from it and re-inserts any meaning desired. So we find, for example, that all of Shakespeare is about the suppression of women, or the Bible is really about race and gender. . . .

“The members of the Frankfurt School are Marxist, they are also, to a man, Jewish.”

It is commonly assumed that the term “cultural Marxism” is a right-wing invention. As such, it could be described as a form of “paranoid global conspiracy theory,” along with so many other right-wing concepts that are casually dismissed in similar ways. But the term isn’t a right-wing invention at all. The use of the term “cultural Marxism” by leftist academics themselves (with the same definitions as are used by the right wing) is indicated by such authors and book titles as Dennis Dworkin, Cultural Marxism in Postwar Britain; Lawrence Grossberg and Cary Nelson, Marxism and the Interpretation of Culture; Frederic Miller and Agnes F. Vandome, Cultural Marxism; and Richard R. Weiner, Cultural Marxism and Political Sociology.

So “cultural Marxism” isn’t a form of “paranoid global conspiracy theory,” since it isn’t paranoid and it isn’t just a theory. But the daily news is so heavy with anti-right-wing judgments that a viewer could could easily give up on trying to find the truth. It’s not surprising that people just accept the claim that cultural Marxism is a figment of the deranged right-wing imagination.

Cultural Marxism is in fact the engine that keeps the whole “multicultural” ship moving along. But even fairly knowledgeable people don’t really think much about that engine, except maybe when they’re lying in their bunks at night and they hear a distant chugging sound.

The attack – by Westerners – on Western beliefs and values never slows down. The “Hippie Revolution,” damaging the lives of so many Baby Boomers, was largely due to the machinations of Benjamin Spock, Noam Chomsky, and Timothy Leary. The Church has reduced itself to infantilism. Ph.D.’s are handed out to students who can only be described as illiterate. Electronic devices destroy our attention span, reduce direct contact among humans, and turn everything into “virtual reality.” Illicit drugs and inadequate diets further reduce our mental capacities.

Sorry – maybe some of this can’t be laid at the feet of poor Karl Marx. Perhaps some of this is just a matter of “lifestyle choice,” to use modern jargon. But is there really a difference?

A related problem that makes cultural Marxism so hard to analyze is that to some extent it’s a group of overlapping activities, not just one, and that’s especially true nowadays. Multiculturalism, sexual deviancy, mass immigration, “sanctuary cities,” aggressive religions, dumbing down, “liberalism” that is not at all liberal, and so on – the modern world has become somewhat shapeless and formless. The trail of Marxism is so long, and goes cold so often.

At times the trail becomes quite ludicrous, with “multiculturalism” itself as an example of that absurdity. The early cultural Marxists hoped to destroy traditional Western culture by flooding it with other cultures. Yet nowadays the photographs in advertising largely portray non-White (non-European, non-Western) people, in spite of the fact that the West is demographically still mostly White. Yet every major bank advertises its services very largely with photographs of happy non-White or multi-racial couples.

But the inclusion of non-Whites is good for business, since such people compose a new and possibly lucrative customer base – “diversity is our strength” is the new chant. So what began in the 1930s as a Marxist tactic has become, many decades later, a marketing ploy by capitalist bankers who would rather die than be regarded as Marxists!

What does the term “left wing” itself really mean? In France long ago, the terms “left” and “right” had precise meanings, based on where one was actually sitting in the Estates General, indicating one’s attitude toward the Revolution. Now perhaps “left wing” means big government, and big spending by that government, but above all it means supporting the “poor” rather than the “rich.” By the “poor” I mean the voters, of course, not the people leading such flocks.

As soon as “guilt” has become established as “fact,” every relevant piece of paper that appears in public must emphasize “multiculturalism” at all costs. Although the terms are used misleadingly, everything must also stress “fairness,” “democracy,” and “equal rights.” The punishment for breaches of “multiculturalism” is swift and merciless, unless one is attacking Christians; Easter seems always ready to disappear from the free calendars handed out by politicians.

There are corollaries to all the above. Leftists must believe in prohibiting the ownership of guns, for example. If people believe they are underdogs, they must also believe they have no right to defend themselves. Only grown-ups should have guns, and leftists know they are not grown-ups.

Most leftists believe all cultures are, in some inexplicable way, equal. In their naiveté, they cannot believe that many cultures are cruel and intolerant, locked in the pre-literate mentality of a thousand years ago. Westerners today cannot understand that there can be such vast differences between the mentality of one culture and another. The mainstream news-media foster this misunderstanding by failing to report the shocking statistics of rape, mutilation, murder, and other barbarisms that go on in this world.

Most people have little sense of history, yet cruelty has long been a part of that history. Beginning about 5,000 years ago in the Near East, various civilizations arose in Egypt, Babylon, Assyria, Persia, and so on. After a war between city-states, it was customary for all the male inhabitants of the losing city to be put to death, and impalement was one of the most common forms of killing. That ancient mentality has not entirely passed away. Yet Westerners like to fool themselves into believing that the entire world consists of people who read glossy magazines and keep up with all the intellectual trends. The reality is that, even in modern times, the counterpart to an act of “tolerance” in one country would just as surely result in a death sentence in another.

Above all, cultural Marxism is an effective means of rationalizing the quest for “the ethnic vote.” The cultural-Marxist dogma plays into an alleged economic need: to increase immigration and thereby sustain a “growing economy.” Yet massive immigration really has little or no benefit to the country, and in fact leads to overcrowding, unemployment, and other social ills. For the rich, on the other hand, massive immigration means more buyers, more workers, and more investors. For politicians, more people means more votes. For religious groups, larger numbers of the “faithful” means a greater chance of pushing out competitors. Yet none of these groups has the good of the country in mind.

In a world of otherwise horrendous overpopulation, we are told that the West itself is headed for demographic collapse, and that we must find out why this is happening. Yet no answer is offered, other than the circular response that the problem is caused by low fertility. At the same time, one gets the feeling that the Westerners in these shrinking countries are being punished for some unnamed sin. Left-wingers are always trying to find ways to justify mass migration and multiculturalism, in the hope that they can dominate a planet of rootless wanderers, people with no culture at all.

But if we choose to have a serious look at the real issues of demographic decline, we can see some important variations. In Europe, it is the eastern countries that are facing the worst decline in population. And it is eastern Europe that is the poorest. In McMafia, Misha Glenny tells us that international “human trafficking” is supplied mostly by women from eastern Europe. This fact is surely connected to another, that women in these countries are choosing not to have children — or rather, they are faced with the near-impossibility of doing so. As I was once told by a white woman, “This isn’t a good world in which to be bringing up children.”

It was eastern Europe that was dominated by Communism. It was eastern Europe that was destroyed by Communism. All of this is the legacy of Karl Marx. Demographic collapse is not a punishment of Westerners for some unnamed sin. The dots are obvious, the connections among them less so. But the more one looks at the picture, the more it comes together.

One Ring to Bind Them All

Muslims repeatedly kill and wound large numbers of people. Basically quite simple. But then I find a large number of questions floating around. For one thing, the politicians and the mainstream news-media are all saying that such attacks are perpetrated by “terrorists,” not specifically by “Muslims.” So this raises the large issue of disinformation (versus misinformation). The KGB, during the Cold War, were quite instrumental in developing this. One of the main tricks is not to tell a lie exactly, because it’s possible to get caught, but simply to tweak the facts a tiny bit, even if the final effect is not so tiny. Now politicians do it all the time. By saying “terrorists” rather than “Muslims,” the average television-viewer can wipe the sweat from his forehead and say, “Oh, thank God. Terrorists. I was afraid it was Muslims.” Then he can go to bed, sleep like a baby, and snore all night long.

Somebody once asked me: Why would people deliberately blow themselves up? To a modern Westerner this seems incomprehensible. The answer is that these people think they’ll go straight to heaven if they perform these acts of martyrdom. And how could people believe such a thing? Because they have such faith in their God. Islam was created fourteen centuries ago, and it has hardly changed since then. In order to understand Islam one can study the history of Europe at that same time, the early Middle Ages. Consider the fact that even the Christian monks spent centuries burning other monks at the stake over minor issues of theological doctrine. And for Muslims nowadays, violence on that level is all part of the grand tradition.

In The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order, Samuel P. Huntington notes that “wherever one looks along the perimeter of Islam, Muslims have problems living peacefully with their neighbors.” A few decades ago, Charles de Gaulle had the bright idea of importing Muslims from his defunct North African empire, in order to form a union of Europeans and Muslims (called Eurabia by Bat Ye’or) that might even compete with the US as a world power. And now France, among many other countries, is paying the price, but the politicians deny all responsibility.

For Westerners, part of the disturbing news these days is that Muslim attacks are often right in the heart of Europe. So the unspoken fear is that jihad (religious warfare) is moving even further west. What will happen next in Germany, for example?

Then there’s the great stumbling block of Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel. After all that we know of the Muslim assault on the West, why would she have allowed a vast crowd of Muslim invaders from three different continents – sorry, “Syrian refugees” – to swarm into Germany and destroy whatever was left of German self-esteem?

The goal is always the same: to wipe out all the independence-loving particular countries that are now in place. That is why the news media always hammer out the message that one must never use the words “white,” “race,” “ethnic,” or “nationalist” in any positive sense. When those “rebels” (us) have been crushed, it will be possible for the One Worlders to set up their massive government that will have its fingers on all the buttons.

The European Union is not much different from the Soviet Union, and no better. The goal is to establish a world government, and to turn the masses into obedient slaves. All such ideologies have always been quite opposed to democracy. The biggest step, though, is to crush any sense of pride in one’s own country, and to do that the opposite to nationalism must be instituted: “multiculturalism.” And what better way to make a country “multicultural” than to bring in a few million families from places where people don’t even believe in birth control? If a few suicide bombers get a little out of hand, then – well, it’s a small price to pay. And, yes, it’s true that too many massacres could put a dent in the One Worlders’ plans. Never mind. As Tolkien said: “One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, / One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. . . .”

Canada Is Not Vacant Land

It is a common misconception that Canada has vast amounts of land that could support large numbers of immigrants. Much of this belief is due to a failure to understand Canada’s unique but rather daunting geography. About half of the country is bare (or, at best, spruce-covered), uninhabitable rock, namely the famous Canadian Shield. But bare rock is never “underpopulated.”

It is the border strip, 150 km wide, which is demographically the most significant part of the country: 80 percent of the population lives in this area. In contrast, Canada’s largely uninhabited 5 million square kilometers of bare rock, the enormous area north of that border strip, has winters of unearthly cold stretching out over the better part of the year, with snow reaching to the rooftops, and the remainder of the year is characterized by dense clouds of mosquitoes and blackflies. The general impression is that Canada is an “empty” land, just waiting to get filled up. In reality, at 38 million the population is now nearly three times greater than in 1950.

Because only a certain amount of the country is livable, Canada is already well populated. There is simply no need to continue our mad rush to fill the country. Thanks to dishonest politicians over the years, Canada has roughly the highest immigration rate of all major industrialized countries. Canada also has many economic problems and is unable to provide adequate employment or other support for the people who already live here. A large increase in population is not a solution. In fact, in a world that now has a total population of about 8 billion, an increase in population is never a solution to anything. Yet, unlike many other countries, Canada has no political party that will take a firm stand against excessive immigration.

Canadian multiculturalism is a policy announced to Parliament by Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau on October 8, 1971, leading in 1988 to the Canadian Multiculturalism Act. The policy is harmful, partly because it fails to include strategies for integration, such as a requirement of proficiency in an official language before citizenship is granted. Multiculturalism as we see it today – measured in terms of the quantity of bodies – simply results in enclaves, ghettos, gang warfare. Each culture fights every other one. About 85 percent of recent immigrants have neither English nor French as their first language.

Multiculturalism also leads to cultural relativism. Canadians of European extraction are now taught to believe that there is no such thing as barbarism, only “cultural differences.” We forget that there was actually a point to the long centuries of struggle in the West that fostered democracy, civil liberties, and human rights. Yet we bow to medieval mentality on the assumption that we are otherwise “racists.”

Immigrants displace Canadian citizens in the job market, even though unemployment these days is already very high. They also add greatly to the costs of “free” medicine, education, legal advice, and all the other perquisites of the welfare state. In part this is because the immigrants of modern times often lack both language and education.

Pierre Trudeau’s invention is destroying the country, and to speak against it is regarded as sheer heresy. The Chinese are by far the biggest immigrant group, and Vancouver is now an Asian city. But it is not only numbers of people that matter, because there are other ways of changing the country. Money from Saudi Arabia has insidious effects, and Muslim obsessions with sharia (Muslim law) corrode basic Canadian values. According to the highly respected journalist Robert Fisk (“The Crimewave That Shames the World”), about twenty thousand Muslim women every year are the victims of “honor killings” by their own families, but when Canadians hear such accounts they fail to believe them: if such a story did not appear on last night’s television it cannot be true. Yet I spent three years living in the Middle East, and I know that much of the world is far uglier than is imagined by most Westerners.

As an English teacher back in Canada, I would sometimes have to advise immigrant students against infractions of Canadian laws, including those regarding assault, but my students’ rationale for any moral or legal infractions was always the phrase “in my culture” (or “in my country”). Who, specifically, is teaching newcomers such expressions? Politicians are quite aware that “culture” is not a valid catch-all term, but they don’t seem to care. After all, a higher rate of immigration means more votes, and more customers, and more sweatshops.

Until the creation of multiculturalism, freedom of speech and the press was an age-old right. Now, however, it is a crime to say anything that offends any group of people, because one is said to be attacking “human rights.” A charge of this sort is a circular argument: what is offensive is defined in terms of the claim of the other party to feel offended. It’s like a charge of witchcraft: whatever you say, your statement can be turned around to “prove” you are guilty. The similarity between the twisted logic of Trudeauism and that of Stalinism (not to mention the Patriot Act and subsequent American legislation) is curious, but Orwell described such “thought crimes” long ago in 1984.

It’s easy to understand why the inhabitants of the less-pleasant parts of the world have their eyes on Canada. The most significant result of Communist policy in China was famine, and the worst famine in all of world history was that of Mao Zedong’s “Great Leap Forward,” 1958-61, when about 30 million people died. Now hunger is again looming in that country. China’s arable land is in decline, and about 600 km2 of land in China turns to desert each year. China has once more outgrown its food supply: the ratio of people to arable land in China is more than twice that of the world average, which is already too high to prevent hunger.

China is the world’s leader in the mining or processing of quite a number of natural resources: aluminum, coal, gold, iron, magnesium, phosphate, zinc, and rare-earth minerals, for example. Yet basic energy reserves are in short supply. Although China has about 20 percent of the world’s population, it produces only about 5 percent of the world’s oil, it uses up coal so quickly that its reserves will not last beyond 2030, and the country’s pollution problems are terrible. And China’s “booming economy” is based on devalued currency, counterfeiting, and what is virtually slave labor.

The “fossil” (deep) aquifer of the North China Plain is being depleted, although fossil aquifers cannot be renewed. Yet this aquifer maintains half of China’s wheat production and a third of its corn. As a result of the depletion of water, annual grain production has been in decline since 1998.

China now imports most of its soybeans, and conversely most of the world’s soybean exports go to China. But China may soon need to import most of its grain as well. How will that amount compare with their soybean imports? No one knows for sure, but if China were to import only 20 percent of its grain it would be about the same amount that the US now exports to all countries.

Immigrants from Muslim countries are another large group entering Canada, and according to the Pew Research Center the Muslim population of Canada is expected to rise much faster than the general population. Saudi Arabia pours money into the West for the purpose of “education,” and many Western academic institutions receive grants from Saudi Arabia, or programs are set up with Saudi funding. At the same time, the numerous mosques in the West serve as training grounds for young Muslims who live in those countries. Mosques are springing up everywhere in the West, yet in Saudi Arabia the building of a Christian church incurs an automatic death sentence. Contrary to popular opinion, there is no such thing as “moderate Islam” versus “radical Islam”: Islam comes in only one form, the one that was invented in the seventh century.

The misunderstanding of the vast difference between Muslims and Christians might be due to the fact that the debate is assumed merely to involve the respective merits of two religions. Yet this assumption is wrong on two counts. In the first place, Muslims regard it as self-evident that Allah spoke first to Moses, then to Jesus, and finally and most clearly to Mohammed: for Muslims, therefore, there is no possibility of a “dialog” among various religions. The second and more important reason why it may not be entirely logical to compare Islam and Christianity is that the former is, in some ways, more like a political movement than a religion. Every major religion has at times done some proselytizing “at the point of a sword,” but that has always been more true of Islam. The term jihad is not a metaphor.

The general public in Canada has become accustomed to submission and therefore remains mute. Unlike other people, most Canadians are never satisfied until they are feeling guilty about something. There is a constant undertone of “moral inferiority” being applied in Canada to people of a Western heritage. One must never mention Christmas, although one must portray a false joy toward the festivities of any other culture. One must constantly mumble and fumble in an attempt to find correct terms for various ethnic groups. Even the terms “B.C.” and “A.D.” must be rewritten as “BCE” and “CE.” All of this is absolute nonsense. To be convinced of one’s own inferiority is nothing more than to accept that some other person is superior – which is exactly what manipulative politicians are planning. It is time to wake up. Those who do not respect themselves will not be respected by others.

Globalism is a Cultural Marxist Ideology

Globalism is a Cultural Marxist Ideology

by Ricardo Duchesne
Dutch version

The claim that mass immigration is a necessary component of globalization is one of the many lies our politicians and the media propagate regularly. In the last election campaign, Justin Trudeau accused Max Bernier of “trying to make people more fearful about the migrations that are happening in the world, the opportunities around globalization”.

This lie was deliberately concocted by Canadian academics back in the early 1990s. The argument was also that multiculturalism was the best political framework for the integration of masses of immigrants within a global economy. Will Kymlicka, the foremost theorist of multiculturalism, told thousands of students that “massive numbers of people are moving across borders, making virtually every country more polyethnic in composition”. 
Another exponent of this lie was Charles Taylor, the best known Canadian political theorist in the post WWII era. He wrote
All societies are becoming increasingly multicultural, while at the same time becoming more porous. This porousness means that they are more open to multinational migration“.
The fact is that all the highly advanced and globalized nations of the non-Western world are thoroughly globalized economically yet none of them promote mass immigration and multiculturalism.  Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, China, India — you name it — do not have porous borders. 
The difference between Western nations and non-Western nations is that Western nations are dominated by an ideology that is more appropriately called “globalism”. We should not confuse globalism with globalization. Globalization is an inevitable component of the development of modern transportation and communication technologies. It is a process that can be traced back to the European discovery of the world, the commercial linking of the Old and the New world, the development of shipping and railway networks in the 1800s, followed by the spread of air travel and modern telecommunication systems, telegraph, radio, telephone, television, and the internet.
Globalism, on the other hand, is not an inevitable phenomenon but a political ideology aimed at the liquidation of the national identities of European peoples across the world. It is a deliberate political choice, no more inevitable than communism or transsexualism. 
Yes, the absolute number of migrants in the globe has been increasing. The current estimate is that there were 272 million migrants in 2019, but this is a minuscule proportion of the world’s 7.8 billion people. Only 3.5 percent of the global population can be categorized as a migrant. 
The vast majority of humans continue to live in their country of birth. Trudeau, Kymlicka, Taylor, and the entire media and university establishments are lying.
In the case of highly globalized Asia, immigrants have accounted for a mere 1.4-1.6% of Asia’s population over the last 20 years.
Moreover, the vast majority of migrants outside the West are “intra-regional” in the sense that they are moving in response to crises at home from one bordering nation in Asia, Africa, or Latin America to another. Hardly any of these migrants are granted citizenship in the bordering nations they are migrating to. The ones moving to such nations as the United Arab Emirates are temporary labor migrants coming to wash up the bodies and clean the toilets of the parasitic ruling class.
The migrants who are actually becoming citizens in other nations, not just crossing a border temporarily, are coming to the West. And since the Third World is bloated with masses of humans, the absolute number of these immigrants is very high, in the millions, and this is leading to the replacement of Whites in their own homelands.

Whites are only about 10% of the world’s population. Back in the year 2000, when only a few were talking about immigration replacement, and such talk was not deemed a “conspiracy theory”, The Guardian happily predicted the “last days of a white world“: “We are near a global watershed, a time when white people will not be in the majority in the developed world”  — in their own nations.

Cultural Marxism

To properly understand how the modern economic reality of “globalization” was transmuted into the ideological hysteria of “globalism”, we need to frame this discussion within the wider ideological framework of “cultural Marxism”. By “cultural Marxism” I understand a wide variety of theories, movements, ideas and names, such as feminism, dependency theory, history from below, the Frankfurt School, Derrida’s deconstruction, Edward Said’s critique of Orientalism, Michel Foucault’s “New Historicism” and other influential currents developed in academia after WWII. 
These schools of thought are devoid of merit, but I do find Foucault’s claim that “every field of knowledge presupposes at the same time a field of power relations” particularly relevant to understand the incredible field of power relations currently held by cultural Marxism over every aspect of Western society.

The center of gravity of cultural Marxism is the claim that races don’t exist, that racism is the worst moral crime a White human being can commit, and that Western nations have always been institutionally racist in their “systemic discrimination” against minorities, and in the special privileges that White heterosexual men have enjoyed against “racialized” minorities, women and homosexuals.
This cultural Marxist field of knowledge has included more recently the idea that Western nations with a strong sense of cultural identity are inherently illiberal and that liberalism requires mass immigration and racial diversity. 
The field of power relations associated with this field of cultural Marxist knowledge is overwhelmingly obvious in the swift disciplinary punishment any dissenter against this knowledge faces in the West.
This is why the very use of the word “globalism” or “globalist” has now been identified as an “anti-Semitic slur” “deployed in far-right and conspiracy-theory-minded circles on the Internet“.

They don’t want Whites to learn that globalization can be practiced in the most intense fashion without allowing a single migrant into your nation and without imposing multiculturalism. 

Japan: totally globalized yet zero diversity

They want Whites to believe that the economic integration of nations via transportation and communication technologies entails mass immigration. 
They don’t want Whites to know that the vast majority of humans (96.5%) continue to remain in their country of birth despite centuries of globalization. 
They don’t want Whites to know that only their nations have been targeted for total race replacement by those who control our financial institutions, corporations and media organizations. 

Self-Mutilation, the Triumph of Cultural Marxism

Self-Mutilation, the Triumph of Cultural Marxism

by Tim Murray

Mother nurse, 30, who is covered in “body art” is in running to be Miss Tattoo UK

Leviticus 19:28: “You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you: I am the Lord.”

Many boomers are confounded by the epidemic of tattoos that has swept across the Western world in the past decade, claiming victims both young and old. Where once tattoos were the almost exclusive province of sailors, bikers and prison inmates, they have now laid claim to the necks, faces, torsos, legs and arms of the broader community. They are even seen on eyelids and groins. In fact there is apparently no body part that is safe from this scourge.

Is it simply a mark of fashion? A form of self-expression that attempts to announce one’s uniqueness while demonstrating quite the opposite—a slavish determination to conform? A gesture to earn the acceptance of the pack? A culturally sanctioned act of self-harm?

I think that self-mutilation is typically indicative of self-hatred. The fact that an entire generation has internalized the canon of Western self-loathing taught in secondary and post-secondary institutions and that this same generation has with few exceptions chosen to deface their bodies so comprehensively, is, IMO, no coincidence. When one contrasts their appearance with the refreshing spectacle of wholesome young women wearing hijabs, it becomes difficult to summon an overpowering enthusiasm for the cause of preserving Western Civilization. It seems that the Western civilization that we want to preserve no longer exists.

All western countries it seems have fallen victim to this tattoo craze, and the spectacle as depressing as it shocking. As a long time Australian friend of mine recently wrote:

Self-mutilation, as I too call it, is a great grief to me…

Simply, I don’t fathom it. I must be a different species. Here it is almost across the board, and respectable looking men are mutilated. As for women, shudder; I would make tattooing a female a capital crime. When we were in Denmark in 2014, I thought it worse, but we have caught up. I even see both sexes (yes, only two) in late middle age with tattoos, which must be a moronic surrender to fashion at a supposedly sane age. I despise them the most…

An extension of the theme, and an aspect of the syndrome of worship of the ugly (think hair styles, architecture, there’s no art of course) is the ubiquitous graffiti that has defaced the whole world – western world anyway. Extreme in Europe, and terrible here, it stamps a nihilist, self-loathing, undisciplined and ungovernable brand on our living environment, demoralizing and defeating any sane citizens left. Authorities not only do nothing, it does not seem to occur to them that it is a problem. Indeed, the Melbourne council has made defeat victory by rebadging vandalism as “street art” which is to be celebrated, along with moral vandalism. Dear oh dear, to think we have lived to see this.

These current fashions of dress and appearance that younger generations have embraced are no doubt a reflection of a much deeper malaise, rooted I think, in the downfall of male breadwinners. Caught in a pincer between the outsourcing of good, well paid jobs and the massive ‘in-sourcing’ of cheap foreign labour, men lost their stature as reliable providers, and the self-esteem that came with it. Hence their alarming rates of suicide and substance abuse. The statistical reality is that women feel very much less inclined to marry men of little or lesser means, and the welfare state has stepped in to make single motherhood financially viable. As they say in Sweden, women are married to the state. It’s a saying that could equally apply to America’s urban black community, and—as Charles Murray observed—working class whites as well, especially in the Rust Belt and the rural Red Counties of flyover states.

Coupled with this transformative economic collapse is the relentless messaging from TV commercials, sitcoms, movies, intersectional politics and aggressive feminism that fathers are unnecessary and white men are ‘privileged’ and deserving of relegation . No wonder so many young men have affected feminine mannerisms and modes of ‘thinking’ and virtue-signaling transparently designed to better ingratiate themselves to women. Conclusive testimony to the fact that the male quest for status and sex appeal is immutable. In a seller’s market, women have the upper hand. The ironic fact is, however, that on a subconscious level, even hard core feminists are repelled by these spineless creatures.

Perhaps their Islamophilia and advocacy of migrant rights conceals a secret wish to be roughly manhandled and shafted by domineering brown men. That may account for the boom in Female Sex Tourism. Maybe a two week vacation in Malmo or Brussels would suffice to get it out of their system. Or a taxi ride in Edmonton.

Deranged Toronto Woman Crazed By Anti-Racism & Cultural Marxism

CRAZY VIDEO: LADY DOESN’T CARE ABOUT TORONTO SHOOTER’S POSSIBLE ISIS TIES

In this cringeworthy video a high school teacher tries to infringe on a reporter’s free speech

0

While interviewing attendees of the memorial for Toronto’s Danforth shooting victims, The Rebel’s David Menzies encountered a woman who regurgitated every liberal talking point in the book.

When Menzies asked a couple about a CBS report claiming the shooter visited ISIS websites, the woman interrupted the interview by asking that “we not descend into racism,” apparently unaware that affiliation with the terrorist group has nothing to do with race.

“What did I say that was racist?” Menzies asked, but the woman just attacked The Rebel and said they aren’t welcome in “our community.”

From there, the woman called The Rebel “fake news,” endorsed socialism over capitalism, admitted she doesn’t care about ISIS, said a majority of Ontario citizens are “demented” and called Trump a fascist.

The woman, who said she’s a high school teacher who educates her students about the racist agenda of the right, then threatened to call the cops over the “racist hate speech.”

HELP STOP SANCTUARY STATES/ CITIES & SAVE U.S. TAXPAYER $$$ From PAYING FOR ILLEGAL ALIEN HEALTHCARE & WELFARE—PUSH CCN’s MOST EFFECTIVE SOLUTION TO STOP MASS IMMIGRATION

Posted on by

ACTION ALERT
April, 2017

HELP STOP SANCTUARY STATES/ CITIES & SAVE U.S. TAXPAYER $$$ From PAYING FOR ILLEGAL ALIEN HEALTHCARE & WELFARE—PUSH CCN’s MOST EFFECTIVE SOLUTION TO STOP MASS IMMIGRATION

Sanctuary States (e.g. California) and Cities encourage Illegal Alien Criminals to come to those States and Cities and to continue their Predations on the Citizens there.   In 2015 alone, ICE freed 19,373 Criminal Aliens and 1347 Domestic Abusers, most of whom are still preying on the Citizens of Sanctuary Cities and States (ICE and vDare.com).

Under “new management,” ICE is trying to detain and deport illegal alien criminals but, in the last week of March, 2017, alone, 47 ICE Detainer Requests were Denied by Sanctuary Cities!  The flow continues!

Both Illegal Aliens and Legal Immigrants get access to  Welfare and Taxpayer funded Education and Health care, which only encourages Great numbers of Legal and Illegal Immigrants to come and to stay.  Over 50% of all Legal Immigrants are on some Welfare Program (Food Stamps, Section 8 Housing, etc.)  and over 90% of ostensible “Refugees” participate as well.

Incredibly, the Trump State Department just INCREASED the number of Ostensible Refugees being resettled in the USA to 900/week!

And it is also truly incredible that Open Borders advocate House Speaker Paul Ryan included provisions in his ObamaCare Lite Bill which would allow Illegals to get “free” Healthcare Coverage. And that was a Major Reason the GOP Freedom Caucus derailed that Bill.

But Speaker Ryan has not given up pushing to include Illegal Alien Healthcare in the new Healthcare Bill. And even more incredibly both he and Open Borders advocate Sen. John McCain (R-Az) are trying to DEFUND Pres. Trump’s Border Wall! (Of course, Speaker Ryan has a Wall around his house in his District!)

Ryan has suggested he will lead the Republicans to delay The Wall funding debate until September, when Congress takes up spending bills looking ahead to fiscal 2018.  “The big chunk of money for the wall, really, is … next fiscal year’s appropriations (!!! -Ed), because they literally can’t start construction even this quickly,” he told CBS This Morning recently.

In fact, Congress critters who oppose the wall are actually supporters of an open borders non-country.

Illegal aliens cost State and communities Billions annually, and the mainly low-skilled one and one-half million legal immigrants coming annually cost even more.

Indeed, the USA is being overwhelmed by legal Mass Immigration of over 1.5 Million per year plus hundreds of thousands of Illegal Aliens.

In addition, billions of US$ are sent to relatives back in Mexico/Guatemala/Nicaragua, etc. via Remittances. That is money that should be circulating through the US economy.   By taxing these Remittances and imposing a Reciprocal Tax on imports, of course, Mexico could pay for the wall.

America cannot become the “charity ward” for the world’s desperate people. We cannot degrade our citizens in order to care for the World’s poor. We cannot save Africa’s refugees when we suffer 13 million American children living in poverty. We cannot pay for immigrants’ food, housing and education when the national debt is $20 trillion and climbing.

Additional problems are US unemployment and underemployment.  As robotics replace human labor, these difficulties will worsen even without adding to the labor force through immigration. By deporting illegal aliens and imposing a zero-net Moratorium on legal Immigration, remaining jobs become available   to American citizens. It’s time to change the ‘good ole boy’ network of corruption in .DC where the Cheap Labor and Ethnic Power Lobbyists reign supreme. Otherwise, it will all get worse until we collapse into a multicultural-diversity nightmare of overpopulation, poverty for the majority, and social chaos.

“Diversity within a nation destroys unity and leads to civil wars,” said ecologist Garret Hardin RIP. “Immigration, a benefit during the youth of a nation, can act as a disease in its mature state. Too much internal diversity in large nations has led to violence and disintegration. We are now in the process of destabilizing our own country. The magic words of destabilizers are ‘diversity’ and ‘multiculturalism’.”  Indeed, Cultural Marxism—which has become mainstream and Sharia law illustrate the destabilization and disintegration of the society.

Diversity, Multiculturalism and a Culture cut loose from its moorings,  not to mention lawbreaking, are exactly what Sanctuary States and Cities foster.

CCN’s SOLUTION!

Fortunately CCN has a Solution which will work if we all push it hard enough.  We must stop Mass Illegal Immigration and Stop Mass Legal Immigration by pushing a zero-net Moratorium.

Crucially important to note is that most of the monetary cost and many of the crimes in both Europe and the USA are committed by Legal Immigrants.  Therefore, in light of the fact that the Trump Administration is, with our encouragement, likely to be reasonably successful in greatly reducing Illegal Immigration by building a wall, stopping Catch and Release, and defunding Sanctuary Cities, OUR FOCUS SHOULD BE MAINLY ON REDUCING LEGAL IMMIGRATION.

Indeed, “Merit-Based” legal immigration (President Trump’s criterion) should not be the sole Criterion for genuine Immigration Reform. Quantity is critically important as well. This is why pushing for a Zero-Net Moratorium on legal immigration—as only CCN and its ASAP Coalition Allies do—is so important.

And the Culture of incoming Immigrants matters.  De Facto Sharia jurisdiction enclaves are springing up across the USA.  Just ask the long-time residents of Dearborn, Michigan just what that means for women’s rights and public safety.

Bottom line:  the Mass Immigration of  some 1.5 Legal Immigrants per year depresses wages and causes the loss of Americans’ Jobs and is also a substantial multi-billion $$ annual net cost (over 50% of all Legals and over 90% of all “Refugees” receive one or more welfare benefits.  (See generally, E. Rubenstein vDare.com).

Sanctuary Cities alone cost American Taxpayers $14 BILLION annually nationally, with over $1 Billion each going to California and Texas (former Congressman Tom Tancredo, Breitbart.com 1/30/17).

But Mass LEGAL Immigration also causes loss of Social and Cultural Cohesion. That is, Mass Multicultural Immigration drives Social Disintegration, inter-Group Tension, Conflict, and in its worst Manifestations MULTICULTURAL CRIME and Chaos.

Therefore, it is IMPERATIVE TO DRAMATICALLY REDUCE LEGAL IMMIGRATION in addition to reversing colonization of our country by illegal aliens.

Here is how to help do that:

Ask your Representatives to enact Mandatory eVerify, outlaw Birth-Citizenship and Birth Tourism, and to Cosponsor the RAISE Act (S354—Cotton [R-AR]) (and a companion bill in the House) which would end chain migration and the Diversity Lottery AND ABOVE ALL SPONSOR AN AMENDMENT WHICH WOULD IMPOSE A ZERO-NET MORATORIUM ON ALL LEGAL IMMIGRATION.

ONLY CCN and its ASAP! Coalition Allies have The Most Effective Strategy for substantially reducing Legal Immigration as well as exposing and combating the Cultural Marxists (see CCN’s February, 2010 posting) and the various social policies, like Mass Immigration, they push.

Join CCN and its Activist ASAP Coalition! Allies in simultaneously pushing a Zero-Net Moratorium and the other Victory Initiative positions because they provide maximum ongoing Political Pressure to get our borders protected and Mass Immigration reduced NOW!  So please help us with a Tax-Deductible Donation TODAY so we can intensify our efforts NOW. The Next Few Weeks are Crucial!

Advocating a Zero-Net Moratorium is Essential for delegitimizing the whole justification for Mass Immigration! And the election of Donald Trump as President provides the opportunity—and it may well be our LAST OPPORTUNITY—to succeed in reversing the most destructive trends if we all intensify our efforts NOW.

Merely pushing for “Immigration Reform” as certain of the Mass Immigration Management Groups do or, Worse, pushing merely for “Reducing Legal Immigration to 500,000 per year” or using numbers alone as sole criteria for admission are all COUNTERPRODUCTIVE. They send the message that Mass Immigration is OK if we just reduce it a little bit AND turn a blind eye to the Cultural Impact and Personal Safety impacts. A continuation of Mass Immigration from diverse, and often anti-Western, cultures is clearly NOT OK! Look at Europe!

And the outdated Jordan Commission recommendation that Legal Immigration be reduced by half is even WORSE because it sends the Message that Mass Immigration IS in the National Interest! One half of 1.5 Million Legal Immigrants is still 750,000 annually! Ann Coulter is correct—anything less than a Zero-Net Moratorium on Legal Immigration will consign the America we have known to Oblivion.

Is it not, therefore, True that any Organization which refuses to Push a Moratorium on Legal as a First Priority and refuses to consider Cultural Impacts, is NOT really Serious about stopping the Mass Immigration Tsunami?  Let us say it plainly, refusing to push for a Zero-Net Moratorium and preservation of Western Culture as the First Priorities amounts to giving permission for the continuing Immigration Tidal Wave and National Deconstruction!

Pushing a Moratorium maximizes our clout to ensure our borders are protected and maximizes the chances of achieving reductions in legal and illegal immigration.

So PLEASE ACT NOW, and please also make a tax-deductible Donation to CCN NOW, so we can intensify our initiatives by mobilizing thousands of our activists to push our Victory Initiative! We probably have only a few months to generate support for substantial reductions.

CCN’s Strategy is The One which Maximizes both our ‘Clout for the Buck’ and the probability of Success!

In order to succeed in the next few weeks, we need your Tax-deductible Donation NOW to Maximize our Clout.

$elling Diversity

 

Gravol Alert:  This article contains barf-bag buzzwords in potentially lethal doses. Diversity and Inclusion levels exceed their RDAs. Parental supervision is advised.

 

What makes the soft totalitarian state distinct from Nazi Germany or Stalinist Russia is that it is the private sector which acts as the water carrier for government sponsored social engineering. It is the private sector which does much of the work in the trenches, conditioning people to accept the government agenda.

 

But then that is only fair, because upon closer inspection, this government agenda looks very much like the corporate agenda.  Let’s just call it a happy confluence of interests, where government contracts out multicultural propaganda to those who can use it to cloak their mercenary purposes.  Selling diversity for profit is a Public-Private Partnership . Social cohesion, civic trust and participation can go to hell.

 

There is no better illustration of that than the latest TV commercial put out by Van City, the financial arm of the social justice crusade. https://www.youtube.com/user/vancitycu  It’s laced with all the robotic jargon that issues out of the mouths of programmed Millenials and status-seeking Gen Xers desperate to cling to their positions on the PC pecking order.  Words like “Homophobia” and “Islamophobia”.  You know the script.

 

One might be given to wonder, would all of these words—all of these sins—even exist had our society not been hijacked by Cultural Marxists? If there had not been mass immigration from third world countries? Would an ethnically homogeneous European Canada consist of young people chanting  “homophobia”, “racism” and “Islamophobia” like Red Guards with IPhones , tattoos and ear piercings? Can you imagine how people 50 years ago would have reacted to this commercial? They wouldn’t recognize the language or the country that this claptrap was spoken in. Canadian  English? You have got to be kidding.

 

Alas, Van City is not alone in its quest to be the company that it wants the world to be. In fact, it is just  one of a herd of Canada’s  “Best Diversity Employers”, half of whom are privately owned institutions. Companies like the Amex Bank of Canada, one of whose employee resource groups (ERGs) is “HOLA” for employees of Hispanic origin.

 

Or CIBC which has a “Mosaic Mentorship Program” and a partnership with ACCES Employment which offers “speed mentoring for New Canadians”.

 

Or the TD Bank where there is a “Tropicana/United Way Youth  Employment and Mentorship Initiative to support “youth, newcomers and people of Black and Caribbean heritage”. That’s the same bank that requires all managers to take “diversity and inclusion” training (not uncommon these days).

 

Or Home Depot with an ERG called “Orange Mosaic” which publishes a monthly newsletter for 350 multicultural employees.

 

Or Telus which maintains a ‘diversity and inclusiveness’ report, and teams up with the Toronto and Edmonton Immigrant Employment Councils.

 

Or Kivuto Solutions Inc. which dumbs down English so that New Canadians will not misunderstand interview questions.  Like Vancity, the accent is on the improvement of diversity awareness of their recruiters so that the road to inclusion and advancement is made clear for New Canadians.

 

Or Epocal which encourages employees to pin their names to their home countries on a map of the globe so that the company can proudly demonstrate its global outreach.

 

Or Shell, or Cargill Ltd or Jazz Aviation L.P., which introduced diversity awards to recognize employee contributions in the promotion of workplace diversity. Or Xerox Canada which offers training in inter-cultural and ‘inclusive’ communication as well as ‘bias-free’ selection training.

 

Or Starbucks Canada, which recently announced that it would hire 1000 Syrian refugees.

 

Or Pepsi , made famous by its kumbaya commercials that put a happy face on globalism, which joins diversity focused partnerships with groups like the Toronto Region Immigrant Employment Council and the Canadian Council for Diversity and Inclusion.

 

Or  dozens and dozens more who even blackmail suppliers to go with the program or risk losing their business.

 

The list is endless, as is the monotonous recantation of ‘ inclusion and diversity’. But I can’t let you leave without giving special mention to Canada’s number one bankster, RBC, whose motto is “Diversity Works for Us.”   You remember RBC, don’t you? They’re the corporation whose rock star CEO Gordon Nixon lobbied for a 60% hike in the government’s annual immigration intake because in his words, “International experience is an asset to business.”  Yep, it takes a lot of international experience to serve coffee and donuts at Tim Horton’s for the minimum wage.

 

However, Saint Nixon also argued that governments needed to work to improve immigrant labour force participation, as he did when he had his Canadian IT workers train the Temporary Foreign Workers who would replace them.  One must admit that it took an impressive mix of business acumen and chutzpah to get  RBC employees to dig their own graves. Yes, Diversity certainly works for RBC all right.

 

Now it becomes clear what RBC means in their “Diversity and Inclusion Blueprint 2020”. As the current   CEO Dave McKay said, “Diversity is not only the right thing to do but the smart thing to do.” That’s smart as in “profitable”.  Repeating what has become the mantra and core rationale for ‘affirmative’ discrimination and employment ‘equity’, the RBC document states that “to serve our market we must reflect it.” But are commercial social engineers really reflecting the market—or are they anticipating it?

 

It is significant that of the 35 faces that can be seen on the RBC site devoted to “Diversity”, 15 or 43% are non-white even though visible minorities presently account for less than half that number . That seems to be very much the rule in the span of TV commercials as well, from offering mortgages to selling furniture. The number of visible minorities which corporations like RBC or Van City put in the shop window are substantially larger than their numbers in society as a whole.

 

In this respect then, these ads and brochures are more prescriptive than descriptive, or as Dan Murray said of multiculturalism, they are a prescription of what Canada should become rather than what It contemporaneously is—whether Canadians want to go there or not.  Employers feature disproportionately MORE minorities in their commercials and brochures because they are trying to get ahead of the curve, trying to appeal to a growing market share in urban Canada, where 9 major cities have already succumbed to a majority non-white population. In so doing, they help the government in its quest to prepare the public for what is to coming down the pike. The message is “This is where we are heading, and there is nothing you can do about it, so accept it.” Or, ” If have the population are not yet non-white they soon will be. The die is cast. So grow up.”

 

Their injunction to accept our multicultural non-European Canadian future is akin to the old adage about rape. If you are going to be raped, you might as well sit back and enjoy it. So spread your legs and lie on your back Canada, and enjoy getting shafted by diversity.  Again and again and again. Who knows, if you put your mind to it, demographic displacement might grow on you.  You may be marginalized, but rest assured you will be enriched.  Never fear, they will serve sushi at the back of the bus.

 

Just remember. War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. And Diversity is Strength.

Who Are the Progressives?

Posted on by

Who Are the Progressives?

by Jean Drapeau, Liberty Institute of Canada

Dumbfuckistan
Progressive worldview in the US

The Progressive Movement

The progressives are people of different political stripes (but mainly neo-liberals and Marxists) who share a common goal: To replace Christian society and the free market with a Marxist, 60-gender plus amoral society ruled by politically correct bureaucrats.

The progressive movement, also called “cultural Marxism,” grew out of the efforts of a few Marxist academics at Germany’s Frankfurt School in the 1920s. The men later fled Germany during WWII and set up shop at Columbia University in the U.S. They abhorred the social restrictions imposed upon them by Christian morality, and they also equally hated capitalism and the free market because Karl Marx said that those were bad. The Frankfurt academics believed that traditional society needed to be “burned to the ground” so that the phoenix of a perfect Utopia would rise from the ashes.

The movement became known as “progressivism.” It has been widely promulgated by university professors since the 1930s. In 1942, the federal Conservative Party changed its named to “Progressive Conservative Party” to reflect the fact that it had adopted progressive ideals. Later the conservatives dropped the word “progressive” to emphasize their adherence to budget cuts and lower taxes, but hardly to question the progressive social agenda of the other parties. Today, progressivism is promoted not only by academics, but by left-leaning think tanks and mainstream politicians from all parties.

How Have They Attempted to Achieve Their Goals?

The methods that progressives have used to accomplish their goals of societal transformation have evolved over time. Today they include:

  • Political correctness: With political correctness, it becomes taboo to speak against society’s traditional taboos. Ironic isn’t it? The goal is to remove speech as a tool that can be used to defend culture and values. When a man does speak-up, then the state’s Anti-Human Rights Commissions come calling with the intent to shut the man up, to fine him, or to put him in prison.
  • Attack on Christianity: The progressives are relentless with their attacks against Christianity because of its myriad prohibitions against moral and sexual degeneracy. For example, they call traditional Christian culture a “rape culture” purely as a means of discrediting and demeaning Christianity.
  • Attack on the family: Progressives are known to call parents “dangerous.” They routinely attack motherhood and fatherhood. The reason is that they know that parents are the first line of defence in protecting children. They need to discredit parents so that they can take their place for the purposes of education and indoctrination.
  • Discrimination against Anglo-Saxons: One way to burn society to the ground is to make the majority of its citizens no longer believe in their own worth. Hence, the progressives use the false meme of “privilege” and the old history of slavery to devalue and degrade us.
  • Promoting mass immigration: Progressives are well aware that mass immigration can be used to wipe out traditional Anglo-Saxon Christian society. This is why hundreds of thousands of foreigners are being allowed to flood across Canada’s borders each year. They call it “multiculturalism.”
  • Attack on capitalism and the free market: At their core, the progressives are Marxists and believe that an economy run by a few academic elites from the top-down is the best way to manage resources. They don’t believe in property rights because such rights stand in the way of the central distribution of resources (i.e., your wealth). They adamantly believe in “each according to his need and each according to his ability,” even though such philosophy has resulted in economic and societal collapse wherever it has been tried.

How Do We Fight It?

Progressives shroud their evil deeds with Orwellian Doublespeak. Racist terms like “privilege,” “diversity” and “inclusiveness” simply mask the progressive’s real intent to destroy our traditional culture, values and prosperity. The best way to fight them is to expose what they are really saying. When they announce a “diversity” program, call them racist. When they sexualize young children with their debauched sex-ed programs, call them sick degenerates. When they shout “privilege,” call them xenophobes.

Do what this German politician from the anti-establishment party AfD did when the bureaucrats wanted to pass a law recognizing 60 different genders: He ridiculed them and rejected them:

Progressives are dangerous. Their ideology threatens the very survival of humanity. We, therefore, cannot shrink from their threat. Instead, we must attack them with all of our might. Truth and morality are behind us. We must win!

Uniformity in the Guise of Diversity: The Sham Debates on CBC Discussion Panels

“Gaps Press”: The Omission of Inconvenient Facts

Leftist John Grierson, the first Commissioner of the National Film Board of Canada — later dismissed for his communist sympathies — once said something to the effect that successful manipulation of public opinion largely consists not in slanting the news, but choosing it. The real power of a news outlet lies in its ability to determine what is and what is not newsworthy. Thus, the public is not so much victimized by the “lying press” as by what patriotic Germans have recently dubbed the “Lückenpresse” — the “gaps” press. Leaving out crucially relevant information is as effective as misrepresenting it. The silent lie is as potent — and morally reprehensible — as the uttered lie.

Of course, this technique is not confined to the print media, but to television and radio as well. None employ it better than CBC Pravda, Canada’s state broadcaster, which may be described as the conversion of conscripted taxpayer money into thinly veiled ideologically partisan bullshit. Its apparent mandate is to manufacture consent by using journalism as a mechanism of social engineering. For the “Friends of the CBC,” the CBC is the appointed gatekeeper of information that can be trusted not to let inconvenient truths to slip by and red-pill the public. The objective is not to just keep disturbing ideas out, but to keep the masses in. Inside the CBC matrix. Canadians must not be let out of their sheep pen, or radical campus feminists would put it, their ‘safe zone’.

As I have long said, the CBC is an infallible guide as to what is not happening in the world. Perhaps then CBC “Pravda” is not an appropriate appellation, for “Pravda” is the Russian word for “truth.” A more apt description of the CBC and its mission would be “The Omission of Truth.”

There are several ways that Mother Corp pulls this off. One, the standard way, is to simply neglect to mention inconvenient facts and events — or acknowledge them only after competing media have forced their hand. If, for example, a TV viewer wanted to know anything about the Rotherham scandal, or the sexual harassment and assault of women in Cologne by swarms of largely male Muslim migrants, he wouldn’t turn to CBC National News. Not unless he wanted to wait until the story was cold.

Therein lies the irony. The broadcaster that is blatantly aligned to political forces whose clarion call is “inclusion” is noteworthy for its exclusion. When the CBC says that it has an “exclusive,” one’s instinctive reaction might be, “This is news?” The CBC is consistently exclusive of ‘hate’ facts, that is, facts that the political class and its flock hate to hear.

Discussion Panels: Narcissism of Small Differences

The other classic CBC technique of news omission is the presentation of a discussion panel which implies that a full range of perspectives will be brought to bear on the topic in question. Typically, there is a panellist who is thought to be on the Left, and one thought to be on the Right — as the CBC defines it — and another with his or her feet planted on both sides of the issue. In truth however, all three are more or less on the same page. All are mired in the muck of the centre-left moral consensus. If you lie outside that consensus, you are not of the Right, but the “far Right,” a moral leper beyond the pale of acceptable discourse.

The funny thing is that this “far Right” upon closer scrutiny looks a lot like the Old Left looked like. A cause that favours job protection for indigenous workers, opposes unfettered free trade, globalism, and austerity and upholds the welfare state by defending it from the crippling claims made upon it by cheap imported labour and an endless stream of refugees. Oh, and like the Old Left, the new Right, the “alt-Right, or the “far” Right as they are variously called are dedicated to the preservation of freedom of expression. How quaint.

CBC panel discussions go essentially like this, “Hands up. Which panellist here believes that the official policy of Multiculturalism has been a disaster for this country? No hands? Then are there any panellists here who believe that the federal government should substantially reduce immigration intakes? No one? Then I thereby declare mass immigration and multiculturalism is the winner by acclamation and good for the country.”

The tag team of Mesley and Mansbridge cannot be likened to referees trying to break up two adversaries locked in mortal verbal combat, but to moderators of a pantomime, a mock duel between puppets who argue over various nuances of a common world view. The debates may be spirited, but they are not markedly polarized. In fact, when voices become strident, it is usually a reflection of trivial differences. It’s what Freud called the narcissism of small differences. People who resent each others’ similarity go to great pains to seize on trivial points of departure and inflate them so as to stake out what they believe is their distinctive identity.

That is what characterizes campaign rhetoric in Canada. Political parties do their best to magnify their differences in order to foster the illusion that they offer starkly different pathways, an illusion dispelled when the opposition forms the government. They campaign on the Left and govern from the Right — or vice versa. Eventually some voters get wise. They come to understand that there is no Left or Right, but merely the “ins” and the “outs.” Most however, never learn. They can be persuaded to run lemming-like over the cliff on cue in pursuit of the ‘leftwing’ or ‘rightwing’ boogeyman of the day. Meanwhile, the CBC wants to sell tickets to a fight, a real “horse race” with everything allegedly on the line. Everything, that is, except the policies that matter. The bipartisan policies that guide the nation, the policies of mindless immigration-driven population growth and continued cultural fragmentation, dressed up in the trendy jargon of economic development, sustainability and diversity.

The Objective: Simulate Debate to Uphold the Status Quo

But that is all as it should be for a state broadcaster whose mission is to manage dissent by limiting it to its handpicked ‘dissenters’. As the maestro of media propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, observed,

A media system wants ostensible diversity that conceals an actual uniformity.

Noam Chomsky said much the same thing in his book, The Common Good:

The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum – even encourage the more critical and dissident views. This gives people the sense that there’s free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of debate.

Exactly.

The Name Game: The Erasure of European Canada’s History

BC Ferries
BC Ferries, here Queen of New Westminster

Shortly on the heels of news that a petition was circulating calling for the replacement of the name of coastal B.C.’s highest peak, Mt. Waddington, with the name of a former Chief of the Chilcotin band, the B.C. Ferry Corporation announced in July 2015 that three new vessels were going to benamed in honour of Coast Salish history. They were “Salish Orca”, “Salish Raven” and “Salish Eagle”.

The announcement came after the Corporation received 7,000 suggestions from citizens who were asked to participate. Of course, the Corporation was careful to emphasize that the selection was made in consultation with native representatives.

Earlier, the Victoria Times Colonist ran its own contest, in this case receiving 550 suggestions. As two of their journalists reported, “Aboriginal names were prominent…and the word ‘Salish’ appeared 72 times…The winner of our contest was based on the popularity of names and themes submitted by readers. Queen of the Salish Sea, as suggested by Victoria’s Laura Weston, combined the desire of entrants to retain the old class names with a swell of support for all things Salish.”

Of course, one Indian, that is, “Indo-Canadian”, Suki Grewa, wanted to get in on the action too. His suggestion? “Spirit of Multiculturalism”. I have a more apt name. “Spirit of Eurocanadian Displacement”. A submission by one Sharon Sinclair captured the spirit of Cultural Marxist collaboration, enablement and white self-abnegation with her suggestion of “Shores of Diversity.” How about “Shores of Ethnic Quislings”?

They were several suggestions that the ships be named after people like Rick Hansen, Terry Fox, Hanna Day and newborn Princess Charlotte, but apparently they lacked the ethnic credentials to be considered serious candidates in this year of Truth and Reconciliation. One man even suggested that the three vessels be named after pivotal battles like Vimy Ridge, Dieppe and Normandy. But it turns out these trivial events did little to shape Canadian identity and history in comparison to the contributions of hunter-gatherers.

I think it is only appropriate that “First Nations” nomenclature should be substituted for any locality, vessel or institution named after a wicked White ‘settler’, even if he happened to have been born in Canada. After all, what did Canadians of European origin ever do for this country, except build it?

Yes indeed, the name changers are on a roll.

They took down South Carolina’s Confederate battle flag, they’re intent on taking down Mr. Waddington’s reputation and they have a whole host of statues to take down too. There’s been talk that even Thomas Jefferson isn’t safe anymore, and in Canada, I hear that Wilfred Laurier is on the hit list now. Round and round she goes, where she’ll stop, nobody knows. No doubt if the Statute of Limitations was the “Statue” of Limitations, it would topple too, because the Grievance Lobby wants to keep going further and further into the past so it can “out” more and more Dead White Racists. Perhaps a merger is in the offing. “Racists Getting Fired” will become “White Racists Getting Fired or Retroactively Discredited Dead or Alive.”

Who knows, maybe centuries hence, when there is not even a trace of European-Canada to be found, paleontologists will posit the existence of a “missing link” between the pre-Columbian peoples and conquering Asian supermen. Dubbed “Homo Eurocanadas”, it will be widely thought of as a figment of the imagination of Crypto-zoologists who insist that a few remnants of this species are hiding in the wilderness. All they have as evidence, skeptics will claim, is the skeletal remains of a hominid without a backbone.
