Article content
In the ordinary course of heated political controversies, Canadians can sort out the issue that’s launching their politicians at one another’s throats. In the “foreign interference” upheaval that has in turns paralyzed, confounded and outraged Canada’s political class in recent days, we’re not even allowed to know what the federal party leaders are arguing about, exactly.
This doesn’t make the story easy to tell. It was already hard enough to determine when the story really begins, let alone figure how it will all end.
If we wanted to, we could push the beginning of the story back to 2003, when Beijing’s United Front Work Department boasted about electing six of its preferred candidates in Toronto. Three years later, the UFWD — China’s overseas strong-arming, “elite capture” and election-interference infrastructure — claimed electoral success for 10 of its 44 preferred Toronto-area candidates, according to an internal training manual uncovered by the Financial Times.
We could also begin the story with the way then Canadian Security Intelligence Service director Richard Fadden was thrown under the bus by Liberal and New Democratic Party MPs back in 2010, when he said several provincial and municipal politicians in Canada had come under Beijing’s influence, to a worrying degree. The charge against Fadden back then was led by the Liberals’ current health minister, Mark Holland.
But for the opening of this latest chapter, foreshadowed by a series of leaks from intelligence-agency whistleblowers going back to November 2022, we need only go back as far as June 3. That’s when an extraparliamentary oversight committee released a heavily-redacted, 84-page report that seemed to suggest that some MPs have been dallying in conduct bordering on treason.
In this way, the “foreign interference” story has revealed itself to be about something worse. Despite the huge blanked-out spaces the Prime Minister’s Office has insisted on imposing on the public record, all along this has really been a story about collusion, about certain of our politicians collaborating with hostile foreign powers to their own advantage and to further their own parties’ electoral prospects. Some MPs have been “semi-witting or witting” participants in the efforts of foreign states to interfere in Canada’s political life, the report found, particularly during the federal elections of 2019 and 2021.
This is hardly news to anyone who has been paying close attention, but the story has changed in the way its emphasis has shifted. It can no longer be told as a simple story about Canadian politicians as victims. In the story told by the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians, Canadian politicians are the culprits.
In one key respect, however, it’s been the same story, for more than 20 years. While the NSICOP report alludes to bad behaviour on the part of India’s friends in Canada, and Pakistan, and Iran and Russia are mentioned almost in passing, it’s China’s deep involvement in Canada’s democratic processes and institutions that the NSICOP report emphasizes.
By the time of the 2019 federal election, the UFWD’s budget for overseas operations was $600 million, and CSIS assessed that year that Canada had become an “attractive and permissive target” for foreign meddling. Even so, NSICOP reported that same year, public engagement was “almost non-existent.” That, too, has changed.
The public is most definitely engaged now, despite the Trudeau government’s efforts over the past year and a half to shut everything down. By filibuster, by blocking evidence demanded by House of Commons committees, and by enlisting the China-friendly, Trudeau-friendly “special rapporteur” David Johnston in a failed whitewash, the Trudeau government expended every effort to make it all go away.
The Liberals evaded the demands for a public inquiry until their minority position in the House made it impossible to stop. Trudeau and his ministers insinuated that it was all just a big fuss manufactured by anti-Chinese racists, by incompetent CSIS officials, by sour-grapes losers among failed Conservative candidates, and by dubiously-motivated CSIS whistleblowers who deserved to be hunted down and prosecuted. None of it worked.
The release of the NSICOP report followed on the equally astonishing proceedings of the Public Inquiry into Foreign Interference in April. In hearings before Commissioner Justice Marie-Josée Hogue, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his officials gave every appearance of committing something close to perjury in their efforts to dispute, dismiss and deny the veracity of incriminating evidence presented by CSIS director David Vigneault. But it was the NSICOP report that left everyone with the worst kind of unanswered questions: Who are these “traitors” on Parliament Hill?
Officially, it’s necessarily a mystery. That’s because huge swaths of the NSICOP report were redacted and expunged by the Prime Minister’s Office on the grounds that the content would be “injurious to national security, national defence or international relations,” or would violate “solicitor-client privilege.” Making things even foggier, NSICOP has been engaged in a running battle with senior officials in the PMO and several federal agencies over their habit of relying on “cabinet confidences” to withhold information. Last year, this rationale was used to blot out, in whole or in part, more than 1,000 documents NSICOP asked the government to disclose.
Even worse, Prime Minister Trudeau, NDP leader Jagmeet Singh and the Greens’ Elizabeth May, each having seen the unredacted version of the report, disagree quite dramatically about what it contains. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre says he doesn’t want to be drawn into the cone of silence the NSICOP statute would require of him, so he doesn’t know which MPs are named in it.
Despite the furious arguments separating them on all that, there’s a weird circling of wagons going on. Everyone agrees that NSICOP has cast a “dark cloud” of suspicion over the House of Commons. All the party leaders broadly agreed last week that the unredacted version of the NSICOP report should be booted over to Justice Hogue to sort it all out. And separately, a series of national-security measures NSICOP had urged in vain on the Trudeau government for seven years is suddenly roaring through Parliament with all-party support.
Bill C-70 is already at the third-reading stage in the Senate after being introduced in the House of Commons only on May 6. Among other things, the bill contains a version of the foreign influence registry that the Liberals dragged their feet on for three years. First introduced in an April 13, 2021 private members bill tabled by Steveston — Richmond East Conservative MP Kenny Chiu, the registry was ferociously opposed by Beijing’s UFWD proxies in Canada. Chiu was defeated following a well-documented UFWD campaign to punish him at the polls.
Where things get particularly awkward for Trudeau’s Liberals is that leaked CSIS assessments consistently show that the UFWD had identified a very specific objective in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections: keeping the Conservatives out of office and ensuring a Liberal win, preferably in a more easily-manipulable minority government.
There is no way of knowing for certain whether any foreign-meddling effort in any riding in either of those federal elections influenced the vote outcome, one way or another. But however this story ends, it’s hard to see its final chapter containing the Trudeau government’s vindication. It’s much easier to imagine the story coming to a close in Justin Trudeau’s final disgrace.
Poilievre says his formula will be mathematically driven – linked to home-building and job numbers – and not influenced by arbitrary targets.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says that immigration numbers will be “much lower” if he becomes prime minister.
“It’s impossible to invite 1.2 million new people to Canada every year. When you’re building 200,000 housing units, it’s impossible. There’s no room. Quebec is at its breaking point,” said Poilievre in an interview in French.
The comments came during an interview with TVA Nouvelles after a reporter asked Poilievre whether he would commit to a 50% reduction in the number of asylum seekers and temporary immigrants arriving in Quebec, which Premier François Legault requested in his most recent meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
“It’s going to be much lower, especially for temporary immigration,” said Poilievre.
Poilievre has previously been hesitant to give specifics about what he’d do to Canada’s immigration targets, speaking more generally about his plan to tie immigration to housing and job availability.
The Conservative leader’s brief interview took place as he campaigns through Quebec in an RV with his wife and two children. He has continued to talk about the cost of living crisis, government spending, and rising crime rates.
The Quebec government has been very outspoken against immigration, with Legault previously threatening to hold a referendum on the issue if the federal government didn’t help reduce the number of temporary immigrants flooding to the province.
Poilievre says his formula will be mathematically driven – linked to home-building and job numbers – and not influenced by arbitrary targets.
Near the end of 2023, 75% of Canadians believed that high immigration levels were fuelling the housing crisis, according to a Leger poll.
While Poilievre has previously avoided specifics, Conservative immigration critic Tom Kmiec acknowledged the formula could result in fewer immigrants coming into Canada.
While Canada welcomes 500,000 permanent residents per year, True North previously reported that the number of immigrants entering Canada annually is 2.2 million after adding temporary foreign workers, international students, and illegal immigrants.
To combat the housing crisis, Trudeau promised to build 3.87 million homes by 2031. To fulfill his promise, Canada would have to build 576,786 homes per year. However, Canada built just over 240,000 homes in 2023, a decrease from 2022, which decreased from 2021.
Poilievre’s housing plan, titled the Building Homes Not Bureaucracy Act, encourages big cities to speed up the process of building homes. Cities are to build 15% more homes annually, compounding yearly. If they fail to do so, federal funding will be withheld by an equal percentage of how much the target was missed by.
Conversely, municipalities that surpass their targets will receive a bonus.
The Conservatives lead the federal voting intention polls in every province in the country except Quebec, where they trail both the Bloc Québécois and Liberals.
“Canadian media downplay potential nation-changing French election, where female voters are flocking to Marine Le Pen’s RN Party.”
“Marine Le Pen and her party believe there should be several categories of French people. They intend to enshrine in the Constitution a ban on dual nationals holdingcertain public positions.”
In consideration of the current foreign interference scandal in Canada, it would be more than prudent for government to consider similar measures.In Canada, 56 foreign-born members, 22 of them with dual or triple citizenship, hold seats in House of Commons and Senate. Some notables include Liberal MPs Iqra Khalid(Pakistan), Ahmed Hussen(Somalia), as well as triple citizenship holder Salma Zahid (Pakistan, Britain, Canada).Canadian MPs hold citizenship from nations as diverse as Afghanistan, Lebanon, Pakistan, Syria,United States and United Kingdom.
A recent report on foreign interference from NSICOP offers a damning account of alleged corroboration between unnamed members of Parliament and foreign governments.“The report noted that Pakistan targeted democratic institutions and processes in the early phase of the period under review”. It said China, India, Pakistan, and Iran engaged in transnational repression.”Would it not be a common sense decision to ban dual citizenship for MPs in Canada?
We note the degree of political discourse suggesting this very thing. CBC? Nothing. Toronto Star? Nothing. Globe & Mail? Nothing. Common sense Canadians shouldn’t be surprised. PM Justin Trudeau wouldn’t make this move for all the tea in China. For him, dual loyalty to foreign nations is something to be rewarded.
Not so for another member of the British Commonwealth, the land down under, Australia.“Dual citizenship would disqualify them from holding office in Australia, where Section 44 of the Constitution bars anyone who is a citizenof a ‘foreign power’ from sitting in Parliament.”Can it be fairly stated that “some people” in our society are accepting of foreign interference?
CAP can see why “multicultural” non-profit organizations may possibly be in favour of such a thing. In 2017, a Muslim-Canadian non-profit enthusiastically endorsed the M103“Islamophobia” motion tabled by half-Pakistani MP Iqra Khalid.As for the upcoming election in France, media in Canada are knowingly downplaying current events. French voters will head to the polls on June 30, 2024.
One week previous to the election support for Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally party continues to surge.“French President Emmanuel Macron’s approval rating fell six points to match a historic low on Friday, with just over a week before voting starts in the two-round legislative election.”
French women voters are swinging sharply to the right.“Marine Le Pen’s anti-immigration National Rally is tipped to win the most votes in a two-round snap election on June 30 and July 7 that could crush the liberal centrists of President Emmanuel Macron, and women are increasingly driving her party’s surging political fortunes.”Let us note the irony.
The Canadian government, along with media and academia, perpetually pump-up the need for gender equality in our society. Justin Trudeau champions the cause with vigor, appointing female MP to key roles within Cabinet.Yet, when the female tide comes in as decidedly “right-wing” in orientation, the powers that be are quiet as a church mouse. Pulling the wool over Canadian eyes, the “woke left” desperately hope none of this spills over into Canada. To minimize exposure, media systemically bury all that would detract from Trudeau’s iron-clad control of society.
When it comes to French citizenship in general, Le Pen said that she would “allow it only to people who have earned it and assimilated.”Not in Canada, eh? Pity. On our soil, convicted terrorists are coddled by our ruling government:“The Liberal Party believes that terrorists should get to keep their Canadian citizenship…because I do. And I’m willing to take on anyone who disagrees with that.”
Damn, this Trudeau character is one strange cat. Drilling down on the foreign interference scandal offers up an additional piece of damnation via the NSICOP report: “All forms of media, including mainstream media, are being subjected to interference by bad actors,” stated NSICOP chairman David McGuinty.Upon which we attain clarity on the situation. According to the report, both the Feds and legacy media are being subjected to foreign interference.
We gain insight as to reasons why the Liberals, CBC, CTV and the rest refuse to articulate political reality in France. Canada has a large French population. The more Quebecois who become aware of Marine Le Pen’s popularity, the greater the chances Canadians could follow suit. Result? A media “shut-out” on the current French election, one week away from fruition.Logic dictates that the time has come to minimize foreign subversion within our political system. One concrete measure is to ban dual and triple citizenship in the Canadian Parliament. Endorsement from Canadian media? Nothing, and keep on going downhill from there.
Peter Brimelow writes: For various reasons, I have been delayed in adapting the talk I gave to the American Renaissance Conference, November 13, 2021. But that’s OK, because AMREN has not yet posted the videos and my accent sounds better in print. Plus the Biden Regime’s communist coup isn’t going away—and neither is white aka American resistance. We earlier posted F. Roger Devlin’s presentation “How Envy Causes Racial Conflict.”
JARED TAYLOR: Peter Brimelow is a friend of many years, very much a stalwart of our movement. I believe he has been the impresario and major domo of VDARE.com for 22 years now. And insofar as VDARE.com is fortified by impregnable walls in West Virginia, I suspect it’ll be good for another 100 years. We’re counting on that.
Now, staunch as Peter Brimelow is, I must tell you that there are deep political differences between him and myself. And I will illustrate this by quoting to you from our Wikipedia entries.
My Wikipedia entry states, right in the first sentence: “Jared Taylor is a White Supremacist”.
In Peter Brimelow’s case, you have to get to the second sentence. And there it says he is the founder of a website that is merely associated with White Supremacy.
Sounds like weak stuff here!
In any case, it’s a great pleasure to have him here with us today
PETER BRIMELOW: Thank you, Jared. And thank you, ladies and gentlemen. I’m delighted to be here. And I really have to congratulate Jared and his crew on their heroic struggle against the State of Tennessee, in which they ultimately prevailed. This question of deplatforming, indirect deplatforming via government alliances with the Left and their refusal to protect us, is a huge issue that we’re all having to face.
I’d also like to thank Roger Devlin for running overtime, which gave me more time to think about what I want to say!
I actually have good news. The New York Times just carried a “reportorial”—which is this new type of journalism, it looks like it’s factual, but it’s actually opinion—called Menace Enters The Republican Mainstream [by Lisa Lerer and Astead W. Herndon, November 16, 2021]. And it says that “threats of violence are becoming commonplace among a significant segment of the Republican Party.”
And that’s why we have those nice young men outside armed to the teeth [Tennessee Park Police and State Police, who were in fact extremely polite].
They’re not trying to keep us in. They’re trying to keep them out.
But the good news is that the New York Times in this case is not talking about us. It’s talking about Josh Mandel, who is a former state treasurer of Ohio and a Senate candidate. Mandel apparently said—and he’s the grandson of a Holocaust survivor—”When the Gestapo show up at your front door, you know what to do.”
That’s the threat of violence.
And the New York Times hacks talk about, of all people, Charlie Kirk of TPUSA:
When the Idaho man asked about “killing” political opponents at an event hosted by the conservative activist Charlie Kirk, Mr. Kirk said he must “denounce” the question but went on to discuss at what point political violence could be justified.
He “went on to discuss at what point political violence could be justified.” And that’s all it takes.
Unfortunately, of course, our Ruling Class actually believes this stuff. They’re saying this because they are really planning to put dissenters in Gulags.
Now, as it happens, neither the American Renaissance nor VDARE.com were involved in the Mostly Peaceful Protests on January 6.
But VDARE.com did have a video crew there. And we posted a video about how Jan. 6 would have been reported if Trump had been a Democrat, which I strongly recommend to you. It’s on Bitchute and on Gab TV. (Hint: it would have been called “democracy in action.”)
Of course, Jared and I knew from bitter experience that not being there would be no protection against the Regime’s Moral Panic, any more than not being involved in the Unite The Right Rally in 2017 was a protection. (VDARE.com was immediately deplatformed by PayPal.)
So anyway, we settled on this title: What The ‘22 Midterm Elections Could Mean For Us.
And the answer is: they could mean a lot.
When I spoke here in 2015, the first time I’ve ever spoken for American Renaissance, I said about the immigration issue, which appeared then to be moribund, that all it would take to get into political debate was one speech—one spark to start the conflagration. And that was before Trump declared for President.
So all it really took was one soundbite—about Mexico “not sending their best.” Trump went to the top of the opinion polls, and he never looked back. That’s how powerful the immigration issue is.
Now, at the American Renaissance conference the next year, in 2016 before Trump was elected, I predicted that he could very well be elected. And obviously I was right about that. And I said it would only take one election. What I meant by that was once the Republican Consultant Class realizes they can win on this issue, they will start running on it.
Equally obviously, I was wrong about that—because Trump was wrong about it. He just didn’t run on immigration in 2020—even though he had actually achieved a brief moratorium, ostensibly because of the COVID epidemic. And even though he (or somebody—Stephen Miller?) had erected what the immigration lawyers kvetch was an “invisible wall” against illegal and some legal immigration, through regulatory changes. Immigration was extremely low in 2020. And the Immigrant Workforce Population actually started to fall significantly right through the year.
(But, of course, no legislation passed—nothing statutory. So it could all be reversed. And it has been reversed.)
The columnist Michael Barone, who’s one of the very few cases of an immigration enthusiast who’s seen the light, was about the only Main Stream Media commentator to note the paradox that Trump’s immigration and trade policies produced income gains for low-wage workers, something Barone said administrations of both parties have failed to achieve for a generation—but that, amazingly, Trump wasn’t running on it [Both candidates’ risky strategies, by Michael Barone, Northern Virginia Daily, October 24, 2020].
In fact, it seems like Trump simply lost interest in reducing legal immigration about midway through his administration. That’s why he had that famous row with Ann Coulter in 2017. It was leaked because they were both shouting at each other so hard that the secretaries could hear it outside the Oval Office. She complained that he wasn’t prioritizing immigration, that he was prioritizing tax cuts.
The fact is that Trump is fundamentally just a moderate Republican.
In 2017, he did endorse Senator Cotton’s RAISE Act, which would have cut legal immigration by half. But subsequently he toldNew York Times reporters Julie Hirschfeld Davis and Michael D. Shear, in an interview he gave for their book Border Wars, that he just didn’t realize that bill would actually cut legal immigration. He thought it was about illegal immigration,
Of course, this is unbelievable. But this is Trump—this is how he is.
And that, paradoxically, has probably helped Trump with his base.
He just doesn’t deserve it.
I regularly force my colleague, James Fulford to transcribe Trump’s speeches at his recent rallies to see what he’s said about immigration—because you can no longer find this out from the Main Stream Media.
And Trump does regularly talk about illegal immigration, because he knows Biden’s border betrayal is a hot issue—even if the Main Stream Media wants to bury it. But he never talks about legal immigration, and the need to curtail it.
What this means, by the way, is that somebody, i.e., Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, could easily get around Trump’s Right flank now, just by mentioning the dread term “immigration moratorium.”
That would cause a firestorm—just as Trump’s soundbite about Mexico did in 2015.
So, when Jared Taylor and I were talking, it didn’t look like the GOP/GAP was going to bounce back anytime soon.
But it has—in recent elections.
In fact, recent polling suggests that the odds are three to one or four to one that the GOP will control both the House and the Senate after the midterm elections.
We sometimes forget what a tremendous release of ozone it is to win an election. It can change everything.
Of course, this works both ways. I have a very good friend for 30 years now, I’ve worked with him at National Review, Forbes and VDARE.com, who found himself attending the Women’s March on Washington after the Trump’s inauguration because his wife had forced him to go along with everybody else in their synagogue.
And it was actually very useful! He wrote something for me on it. He said there was absolutely no security whatever, it was obvious to everybody that there was absolutely no threat.
This was in complete contrast to the Trump Inauguration, which was paralyzed by security. That’s why they didn’t fill the bleachers in front of the White House. You couldn’t get in.
What it tells us again, of course, is that the threat is not from the Right—it’s from the Left. And everybody knows that.
So I have here a wish list of things that could be done when the Republicans get control the legislative branch.
Of course, it would have been better if they’d done it when they also had control of the Executive Branch. But we’ll take it.
And for those of you who say these proposals are politically impossible, I have two words for you:
The first and most important thing: the GOP/ GAP should immediately move to impeach both Biden and Harris, for treason, for dereliction of duty.
This could be on the technical issue—the Biden Regime is not enforcing immigration law—or they could just flat out say that it’s treason. There are Supreme Court decisions that treason doesn’t literally have to mean levying war.
The beauty of impeaching and convicting both of them is that the new Speaker of the House, presumably Kevin McCarthy, would then become president. (I’m not going to think about President Trump becoming Speaker!)
Of course, people will say: we’ll never get 60 senators to vote for that. Well, my position is: let’s try it and see! Let’s see how these Democrats in marginal states want to defend what Biden has done on the border!
First of all, the impeachment process will paralyze the government—as it did with Trump.
But, second, impeachment is a very important moral and political statement.
Most American still just don’t realize how bad the immigration situation is—how crazy the Democrats are.
You know, there were recently votes on this Build Back Better thing, which includes an Amnesty. Republicans on the Judiciary Committee tried to at least put some bounds on it [FY 2022 Reconciliation: A Pathway to Amnesty]. They say, well, maybe we shouldn’t Amnesty people who are convicted child molesters. Democrats wouldn’t go for that. They said, what about people who had nine or more convictions for drunk driving? The Democrats wouldn’t go for that either.
The process of impeachment will show how nuts they are.
The second and almost as important point: end Birthright Citizenship.
At one stroke, this would obviate the political purpose behind the Biden Rush / Full Merkel surge.
It can be done by statute; it can be done by a Constitutional Amendment. But it can be done.
I don’t think President McCarthy would veto it. President Biden, if he’s still President, or President Harris, might. But that doesn’t matter. Make them vote on it.
Birthright citizenship is extremely unpopular, once Americans realize what’s going on. And the great advantage of Birthright Citizenship reform is that it is in fact an internal fence. It ends the political incentive to enable illegal immigration.
Of course, it means that we’ll have a large community of people in the country who are born here but are not citizens and therefore can’t vote.
And that’s just great. We don’t want them voting.
In fact, I would still go further. I think Birthright Citizenship Reform should be retroactive. Anybody who came in since a certain point, maybe 1980 or so, since the last Amnesty, who’s the child of an illegal immigrant, should be stripped of citizenship,
So you know, Diversity Is Strength! I think we should learn from the Indians. Where’s Neil Kumar? Learn from the Indians!
You know, one thing about an Immigration Moratorium that people get wrong is it doesn’t mean no immigration—it means no net immigration. We think that 2-300,000 people leave the U.S. every year. So two or 300,000 could come in and out, that’d be no net immigration. And that would take care of, you know, hardship cases, and Americans marrying of foreign spouses and that kind of thing.
Now, the ironic thing is that, although Trump didn’t succeed in passing any laws on immigration, there was actually a very good bill—the more I look at, the more I realized how excellent it was—the Goodlatte bill, which failed in the House in 2018. Jim Jordan, the head of the Freedom Caucus, has just written a book that discusses it in a chapter. He blames the GOP Speaker, Paul Ryan, who just systematically sabotaged any kind of patriotic immigration reform, because he’s a Chamber of Commerce cuck.
But that bill would have, over time, reduced immigration to well below half a million a year. So it’s almost getting into moratorium territory. And it had a lot of other interesting features as well.
Third: And I think that to the extent that people are allowed in the country, public policy should be frankly focus on their race. Senator Ted Kennedy promised us that the 1965 Act was not going to alter the racial balance. So let’s take him at his word.
Fourth: I personally fed up with all this whining about Puerto Rico and D.C. and how they should be states. So my solution is: expel Puerto Rico! And merge D.C. with Maryland!
And let the Western Panhandle of Maryland join West Virginia! Let’s get this question off the table—because if the Democrats get enough power, they will create new states to get around the U.S. Senate.
You know, there’s precedent for expelling Puerto Rico. The Czechs got fed up with the Slovaks after the fall of the Soviet Union and threw the Slovaks out. And the Slovaks are now actually doing well. And the same was true in Malaysia. The Malayans got fed up with the Chinese in Singapore so they threw them out. And they’re doing well too. So good luck to Puerto Rico as an independent state!
Fifth: We should repeal the 1980 refugee legislation and get out of whatever asylum agreements earlier U.S. governments were stupid enough to get into.
Sixth: We should start getting serious about deportation.
In other words, a new Operation Wetback. Remember, about 3 million people left in the first years of the Eisenhower Administration, but only a couple of hundred thousand were actually deported. The rest just got the message.
Well, they can wait, We’ve got plenty of time to get around to them.
The great thing about the immigration issue, which of course is our focus at VDARE.com, is that it is a problem and a solution. if you can stop the drift of the white population, which is to say the American population, into minority status you are going to ensure the survival and success of liberty in this country.
Last year Ron Unz wrote a long article denouncing VDARE.com’s focus on the immigration issue, saying immigrants were all nice people, and we should really focus on Leftists and militant blacks. I didn’t get around to responding to this personally, for various reasons. But the definitive response was written by David Cole—who may be asleep because he came in from California. [In fact, Cole was ill and missed the AR conference.] He said that yes, of course, Leftists and militant blacks are a problem. But we’re stuck with each other—American blacks, American whites. We still don’t have to import more Third World behavior.
Now, one of the advantages of being so damned old is that everything comes around again. When I was a young financial journalist in the early 1970s, I attended a lot of meetings where investment professionals tried to figure out what inflation meant. It wasn’t clear, it literally wasn’t clear to them, that, for example, owning a house is an inflation hedge, because the replacement cost for a house is very high because of inflation, so your house holds its value. Whereas being out of debt is not a good thing in a period of inflation, because you could pay off any debt with dollars that were actually worth less.
That was interesting news to me because my parents, children of the Depression, went to a lot of effort to pay off their mortgage, which of course was exactly the wrong thing to do in an era of inflation.
I remember speakers pointing out that the then-current inflation was actually higher than the Great Inflations of the past, for example in the 1920s or at various points in the 19th century. We just hadn’t realized what was going on.
The Federal Reserve now calls the 1965-1982 period “The Great Inflation.” But current inflation is substantially above the level that caused President Nixon to impose Wage and Price controls in 1971.
Well, now, similarly, we have to recognize that we are in the early stages of a communist coup. It just crept upon us.
Now, there’s some wimps around here who don’t like us using the term “communist” to describe our Biden Regime Rulers. Isn’t that right, Jared? [A loving reference to AMREN’s notoriously authoritarian—all libertarians are authoritarian—Style Sheet.]
In fact, I’m reliably informed that AMREN has banned the use of the term “Cultural Marxists,” which I experimented with for a while because I thought it just more precise.
I was actually converted on this matter by the great John Derbyshire. He regularly used the term “communist” to describe the mayor of New York, Bill de Blasio. And when I was looking this up today, I discovered that the de Blasio was actually involved in pro-Sandinista activities in the 1980s, when, of course, that put him on the wrong side of the Cold War.
And the term “communist” is gradually creeping into mainstream discourse. Someone who’s done great work in this area is the podcaster Jesse Kelly, who’s been using it for a long time.
The problem is that we’ve all been subliminally subverted by the McCarthy wars. We think that “communist” has to mean “card-carrying Communist”—that is, a member of the Party (although my understanding is that the party did not actually issue cards).
But in fact, the term “communist” pre-exists formally organized “Communist” parties. Marx used it in his 1848 Communist Manifesto—he said a specter was “haunting Europe—the specter of communism.” At that time, remember, he hadn’t written Das Kapital.
I recently read a famous, really eerie Catholic triumphalist dystopian futurist novel, Lord Of The World. It’s still in print, after over 100 years, and it’s been praised by a number of recent Popes including, oddly, Pope Francis. The author, Monsignor Hugh Benson, was a son of an Archbishop of Canterbury, so it was a huge scandal when he converted. In 1907, Benson was talking about this war between the persecuted Catholics and what he unhesitatingly called “communists” just as a matter of fact. They weren’t visibly Marxists from economic standpoint—in fact, economic structure doesn’t figure in the novel at all. But they were fanatical totalitarians and anti-Christians.
And that’s the point, I think. You occasionally hear people arguing that well, you know, you can’t call these people “communists” because they don’t know about the Labor Theory Of Value. But the Labor Theory Of Value wasn’t around when Marx wrote the Communist Manifesto. The point is that they’re Left Totalitarians. They go back to the Jacobins.
And there’s a constant theme among them: anti-religious, not just totalitarian but Christophobic, and also distinct elements of sexual perversion. Andy Ngo has done wonderful work documenting Antifa in the Pacific Northwest, and it’s astonishing how many of these people actually turn out to be trannies and other forms of deviants.
For example, some of you remember that one of our members got into a fight with an Antifa guy in 2017. Well, I’ve watched this case carefully because I want to see what happened to the perp. The answer was nothing. He turns out to be a tranny. Well, they’re everywhere.
If any of you read Stan Evans’ great book about Joe McCarthy, Blacklisted by History, you end it with a feeling of despair—because McCarthy had been defeated and the Communists were still operating. It’s actually a miracle that America won the Cold War.
And there was never a Reckoning for that. McCarthy, of course was vindicated by the Venona intercepts. The FBI actually knew who these people were and had been wiretapping them for years. That’s news that emerged in the 1990s. But the transcription of those Venona intercepts was stopped during the Carter Administration—almost the last thing that Carter did. Why?
There’s a whole concept of “Red Diaper Baby.” There’s at least a score of books written about it. They are gloating about it. The fact that they’re the children of Communists—and this case I do mean card-carrying Communists—is not a problem in American politics today. You can test this by looking at recent biographies. Look at Obama—one of his close friends, and people sometimes say his actual father, was Frank Davis, a black Communist. Obama’s book was reportedly ghosted by Bill Ayers, a member of the Weather Underground communist terrorist group in the 1980s. Ayers was of course, rewarded by being made a tenured professor at the University of Illinois—Chicago.
Look at Hillary Clinton’s running mate, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine. Kaine was also involved with the Sandinistas in the 1980s. That’s not something you just did out of moral fervor. It you meant you were on the wrong side of the Cold War. But it’s never been seriously raised by the Republicans. Tim Kaine‘s son is a member of Antifa; he was actually arrested for throwing explosives, firecrackers in an Antifa riot at the Minnesota Capitol in 2017. Needless to say he was let off with just probation.
But you know, these people in the January 6 Most Peaceful Protest are not going to be let off with just probation. We have a completely asymmetrical system of Unequal Justice in this country now.
Michelle Malkin, who is also here today, for which she deserves congratulations—she’s got real courage—wrote a recent savage column, Coward Cuomo’s Last Act Of Treachery, pointing out that the last thing the governor of New York Andrew Cuomo did before he was driven out of office by Me-Tooism was to pardon David Gilbert. In other words, he pardoned somebody who had been convicted of murder and was involved in extensive terrorism in the 1970s and early 1980s—including, by the way, bombing the U.S. Capitol, something you never hear of when the Democrats go on about how terrible the Most Peaceful Protest was.
Why would he do that? I go back to what I said before—the Democrat Party has always been soft on Communism.
So these Communists are still there. They’re still active. They’re making public policy right now.
It’s going to be a hard landing. A hard landing.
Well, I’m going to finish on a relatively optimistic note, and that optimistic note is what we call the Sailer Strategy. It’s alive and well.
The Sailer Strategy is something that Steve just started writing about on VDARE.com in late 2000, when Karl Rove was telling everybody that the Republicans need to reach out to minorities. Sailer pointed out that this was stupid and that Rove was innumerate. Even a small increase in the white aka American vote for Republicans would far overwhelm any conceivable increase that they could get by reaching out to minorities.
And Sailer said this consistently for the next 16 years, until Trump actually did it.
In my opinion, this is actually one of the great forecasts in political journalism. And Steve had a moment of fame—it wasn’t 15 seconds of fame, it was more like two seconds of fame. He was discussed in New York Magazine, and he was referred to in the New York Times.
And that’s it. Nobody’s ever interviewed him since. It’s like they don’t want to know what Steve thinks is going to happen next.
Well, the fact is this last election again vindicated the Sailer Strategy. Jared and I both use a writer called Patrick McDermott, that’s not his real name, he’s actually a Democrat, but he’s very insightful on the question of the white vote. And he’s consistently said that there’s no limit to how far the white vote could go for Republicans, if they actually focused on it.
It’s referring to the fact the vote for Glenn Youngkin, who as far as I can see is an absolute cypher, far exceeded what Trump got among whites in general and rural whites in particular. The NYT’s Herndon and Goldmacher quoted Ethan Winter [Tweet him], who works for the Leftist group Data For Progress: “In rural America, the bottom for the Democrat Party is zero. I’m serious about this.”
By the way, it’s also true in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. We don’t have exit polls in these states, but the excellent article in the City Journal, which basically analyzed the results in terms of districts and came to the conclusion, well, I’ll read the headline: Twilight of the Blue-Collar Democrat: In New Jersey and Pennsylvania, last week’s election marked the end of a crucial party constituency [by Charles F. McElwee, November 11, 2021].
I don’t think that’s because these people, the Republicans, did much to deserve it. But there is this remarkable case of the truck driver who defeated the New Jersey Senate Majority Leader. He didn’t only spend $150, as was widely reported, but he did only spend a couple of thousand. And that’s really some kind of an earthquake.
Look at West Virginia. As Jared said, I guess it was a year ago in February that my wife Lydia got fed up with being canceled out of all these hotels where we’ve been trying to hold conferences and bought the Berkeley Springs Castle, which is in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia, about two hours from the U.S. Capitol next time we want to storm it [NOTE TO FBI:This is a joke J-O-K-E!]. And we’re refurbishing it. We’re going to have small conferences there and dinners and things and I hope that all of you come. Not all at once! But over time.
Now, West Virginia is a little over 90% white. For comparison: the U.S. itself was a little under 90% white in 1960, before the Immigration Act kicked in.
Every single county in West Virginia went for Trump. Every single one. It’s actually quite heart-rending.
If you drive through the middle of the state, it’s really poor, trailer parks up in the trees, they like having a lot of land around them. And they’re flying Trump flags. They’re still flying Trump flags. And recently they’ve started to fly “Let’s go Brandon flags.” Well, actually, not “Let’s Go Branden” flags, but words to that effect.
Now look at Logan County in southern West Virginia. Let’s just listen to this from Wikipedia:
Logan County broke 72% of its ballots for Bill Clinton, 72% for Bill Clinton in 1996, 61% and even 52% for John Kerry in 2004. But by 2008 McCain flipped it to Republicans and in 2016 and 2020 it voted over 80% for Trump.
PB Note: For inscrutable Wikipedia reasons, this entry has been altered since I spoke, but the sense is still the same.
That’s a huge change. So I think McDermott is right, there’s a good way to go for the GOP/GAP with the white vote.
Similarly, there’s Grant County, which is just a couple hours from Morgan County, where we live now.
This is the Iron Will Report weekly news for the week ending June 21st.
In this week’s edition, Natural Born Canadians are soon to be a minority in Canada; Trudeau’s Liberals are projected to become an endangered species in the next election; monthly mortgage payments are projected to increase by 17% overall; Klaus Schwab predicts his consciousness will be transferred to an AI; and a special report on World War 3. It may be coming in the next few months.
Those and seven more stories that mainstream media won’t report and our government doesn’t want you to hear.
A third of Canadians will be foreign-born by 2041 based on current immigration trends, according to a Statistics Canada briefing note. And Canadian born residents may soon be a minority in some cities.
“The non-permanent resident population living in Canada was estimated at 2,511,437 people, more than the total Indigenous population of Canada,” said the February 7th Notes For Chief Statistician. “The increase in the number of non-permanent residents was mainly due to an increase in the number of work and study permit holders.”
The figure included 471,550 landed immigrants, another 766,520 temporary foreign workers and more than a million foreign students, according to Department of Immigration data. Currently, foreign-born residents account for 23 percent of Canada’s population, “by far the highest of the G7 countries,”. By comparison only 14 percent of United States residents were not born in America.
Projections suggest this proportion could reach 32 percent by 2041 or one in three Canadians.
And because immigrants overwhelmingly elect to move to large cities where they can more easily access assistance programs, the percentage of foreign-born residents will be much higher there. In Toronto, by 2041, projections show natural born Canadians will be a minority. “The rural or small town population of foreign born Canadians is predicted to be only 10%.
The Statistics Canada document said 2022 was the first year in Canadian history that temporary foreign residents — students and migrant labour — outnumbered landed immigrants.
A U.K. report released in May by the Centre for Policy Studies shows that contrary to leftist claims that unbridled immigration is good for the economy the opposite is in fact true. Supporters of large-scale immigration like to point to increasing GDP charts as proof of the good that immigration is doing for a country, while ignoring the effect upon individuals.
In fact, this chart shows that as migration reaches 1.5% annually, GDP per capita begins to drop dramatically. Canada’s population growth from immigration last year was 3.1%.
Trudeau’s Liberals are set to lose big in the next election, falling to 4th place behind the Conservatives, NDP, and even the Bloc Quebecois in the most recent polls. According to the latest Abacus poll, the Trudeau Liberals are expected to lose 123 seats in the next election, losing their stronghold in the GTA and falling behind both the NDP and BQ for what will be one of the most historically poor performances in Canadian history.
Conversely, based on projections of data from Abacus, the Conservative Party is gearing up for one of the greatest majorities in Canadian history, gaining 104 seats for 223 total seats,
while the BQ will gain 11 for 43, the NDP will gain 13 for 38, and the Liberals will fall to 37 from their current 160.
Moreover, it doesn’t look like the Liberals will gain the majority of support in a single province, with the only province they’re ahead of the Conservatives in (Quebec) being dominated by the Bloc Quebecois.
According to a another recently published Abacus poll, Canadians rate the rising cost of living, housing affordability and accessibility, healthcare, the general economy, and immigration being too high as their top 5 issues. Climate change, the only concern in which the Liberals are leading, has dropped to sixth place.
Interest rate hikes will make many mortgage holders poorer for years to come, according to a Bank of Canada report released Monday. Researchers estimated by 2027 disposable incomes for borrowers will be lower on average.
Canada already has the lowest disposable income of the G7 nations. This despite the fact that rates are starting to fall.
Monthly payments for homeowners holding $2.16 trillion in mortgages are currently up nine percent from 2022 “and will likely increase by another 17 percent on average by 2027,” said the report Impacts Of Interest Rate Hikes On The Consumption Of Households With A Mortgage. “These increases in mortgage payments have caused declines in average disposable income of three percent by April since 2022 and will likely cause a decline of up to five percent by 2027,”
The Bank’s next rate announcement is due July 24. Governor Tiff Macklem on June 6 lowered the key interbank loan rate by a quarter point to 4.75 percent but this won’t help much.
Remember that the rapid increase in interest rates only began in early 2022, and many homeowners have mortgages that are on 5-year renewals. This means the bulk of mortgages that were taken out at very low rates prior to then will come up for renewal in the next 3 years.
A total 24 percent of Canadians surveyed said their monthly household expenses were more than they earned. A total 35 percent said they were “keeping up but sometimes it is a struggle,” said the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada’s Financial Well-Being Survey. A total 22 percent of Canadians surveyed said they borrowed from friends or family to meet expenses.
Thirteen percent told researchers they were “falling behind with bills or credit commitments.” 71 percent of Canadians surveyed complained “finances control my life,” 65 percent agreed “I am just getting by financially” and 38 percent carried a credit card balance.
World Economic Forum (WEF) founder Klaus Schwab has told his unelected globalist organization’s so-called “Young Global Leaders” that they will continue to live on even after they die. According to Schwab, WEF members can continue to expect to enjoy more than just a “career of 50 years.”
Through the use of technology and “injections,” Schwab says WEF Young Global Leaders “will continue to live.”
Schwab promises young globalists that, even after they die, their brains “will be replicated through artificial intelligence and algorithms.”
He made the comments in a leaked video which was recorded during a private indoctrination session for WEF Young Global Leaders
Harrison Faulkner went to Mississauga to ask Canadians what they think about mass immigration. The Trudeau government has forced record levels of immigration over the past 6 years and Canadians have had enough. Polling indicates that a majority of Canadians, including immigrants, want to see the government reduce immigration levels.
What did people in downtown Mississauga have to say?

The grand facade will come down, and it will come to an end. Ursula von der Leyenis a mere UNELECTED puppet of the Globalists installed by Klaus Schwab. Her direction and policies have undermined Europe, and nothing has become more self-evident with her vile treatment of Hungary, which is the ONLY sane member of the EU these days. Viktor Orban issued a stark warning to this unelected so-called leader of Europe, Ursula von der Leyen:
“There is not enough money in the world to force us to let migrants in… And there is not enough money in the world for which we would put our children or grandchildren in the hands of LGBTQ activists. That’s impossible.”
Viktor Orban is saying and doing things that demonstrate he actually cares about his people and his country, unlike everyone else from the Netherlands, Britain, Italy, France, and Germany. Orban stands against this dangerous Unconstitutional threat to freedom in Europe. All of this nonsense that they are defending democracy when they fight to keep RFK and Trump off the ballots in the USA, and the same agenda is underway in Europe, and it is all coming from the same point of origin.
There are those who see through this fake facade. It may seem depressing,
but if we do not stand our ground, then we do lose everything.
Step ONE is identifying who is the Enemy
Europe’s June 9th Elections was a Rejection of this LGBQT Inclusion Agenda
that will lead only to an authoritarian dictatorship as the same cries for equality and inclusion produced the Communist Revolution, which is their goal to retain ABSOLUTE power forevermore.
Sorry – But Socrates has always been right on its geopolitical forecasts.
Globalists – You Will Lose this Quest for Ultimate Power
We live in an age of ever more obvious political paralysis, social disorder, and cultural chaos. In recent years, public opinion polls show that trust by Americans in the US Congress, the mass media, and other major social-political institutions has fallen to historically low levels. Surveys also show that most Americans believe that their country is going in the wrong direction, and that life for their children and grand-children will be less secure and prosperous than it has been for them. Americans, and especially younger citizens, are understandably cynical about the slogans and pledges of both major political parties.
For decades now, millions of white Americans have been moving from neighborhood to neighborhood, from town to town, and from state to state – refugees in their own country – in an ever more frantic effort to escape the spreading “third-worldization” of their country, and to live in the kind of society that our grand-parents and great-grand-parents were able to take for granted.
The cultural life of a healthy nation, including its movies and entertainment, reflects and reinforces the heritage, identity and interests of its people. But in today’s America, control of the mass media and cultural life is in the grip of people whose ideology and agenda are hostile to the long-term interests of our people, thereby fueling the continued, inexorable breakdown of our nation.
It’s possible to ignore reality. It’s not possible to ignore forever the consequences of ignoring reality. The crisis of today’s America did not emerge suddenly, but has roots in decisions and policies going back more than half a century. The already enormous gap between the ideals and goals proclaimed for decades by our leaders and in the mainstream media, on the one hand, and the ever more obvious reality that everyone can see around us, on the other, will only widen in the months and years to come. Just as Americans 100 or even 50 years ago would have regarded today’s America with revulsion, so also those who will be here 50 years from now will look back on the America of today with a mixture of bewilderment, pity, and contempt.
An unhealthy society will not and cannot endure. A nation guided by false principles, wishful thinking, and unrealistic notions about society and history cannot and will not survive; it doesn’t deserve to survive. The “United States of America” might stagger and stumble on for several more years, perhaps even a few more decades, but it’s no longer a coherent and purposeful nation.
The more vigorously those in power try to make this a society of what they call “equity,” the more they must inevitably lower standards of competence, ability and merit. The inevitable result: American businesses will be less competitive in global markets, public services will continue to deteriorate, airplane and railroad accidents will become more frequent, and American cities will become steadily more ugly, alien, and unpleasant.
Those in power will respond to the harmful but inevitable consequences of their own policies by ever more stridently blaming them on white Americans and “systemic racism.” In the name of fighting “hate,” “extremism,” “racism” and “antisemitism,” they will push for new laws and measures in an ultimately futile effort to suppress views and voices they don’t like.
It will be ever more difficult for white Americans to be indifferent to or unaffected by all this. They will find themselves increasingly unable to avoid a distasteful dilemma. Those who believe and accept the anti-white messaging promoted in the mainstream media, Hollywood movies, and school classrooms, will be ever more ashamed of their heritage, their race, and themselves. But those who refuse to accept this toxic messaging will reject – at first inwardly and then ever more openly – the entire System and its guiding ideology.
As political, social and cultural conditions continue to worsen, the Establishment’s focus on the supposed evils and dangers of “white racism” will encourage at least a minority of white Americans to see the world and history in racial terms. That in turn will encourage at least some white Americans to think of themselves not merely as individuals, but as men and women of European ancestry and Western heritage. More white Americans will understand and agree with what some of those here this weekend have been saying for years.
We often hear that the big problem in today’s America is that it’s not “democratic” enough. Many Republicans claim that the presidential election of 2020 was “stolen,” which they say shows that the US is no longer really “democratic.” And many Democrats say that the greatest danger to the country’s future comes from Trump MAGA supporters who threaten what is reverentially called “our democracy.”
But the problem here isn’t that the US is not “democratic;” the key point, especially for white Americans, is that this is no longer “our democracy.” Most white Americans still do not fully grasp the reality that this county has become so multi-ethnic and multi-racial that it can no longer be credibly regarded as “our” country, democratic or otherwise.
As history shows, profound changes in attitude and public perception can happen quickly, when the new outlook is in accord with already existing reality. Here are a few instructive episodes from twentieth century Europe:
In 1918 the “United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland” – the UK – was a multi-party “democracy” in which voters in England, Scotland and Ireland elected representatives to the House of Commons in London. Irish nationalists did not accept this, because however “democratic” the UK was, it was not an Irish democracy. The most important Irish identitarian political organization during this period was Sinn Fein, which means “We ourselves.” After two and half years of violent struggle between Irish nationalists and the British government, the “Irish Free State,” forerunner of today’s Irish Republic, was established in 1922.
Another example: After more than 40 years, Soviet troops left Czechoslovakia in 1990-91, and the country became a multi-party democracy. As its name suggests, the people of that country were overwhelmingly either Czech or Slovak. But the identitarian leaders of each of these two closely related ethnic groups were not happy with the hybrid republic, not because it wasn’t “democratic,” but because it was not “ours.” After a breakup known as the “velvet divorce,” the country came to an end in 1992, to be replaced by two republics: Czechia and Slovakia.
A third example: In Yugoslavia, the single-party rule of the Communist League came to an end in 1990, giving way to a multi-party democracy. But that did not prevent the country from falling apart over the next two years, as Croats, Slovenes, and other ethnic groups broke away. In this case as well, the problem was not that multi-ethnic Yugoslavia wasn’t “democratic,” but that most of its citizens did not regard it as “their” country.
In short: Identity is more important than “democracy.”
If there’s anything useful to be learned from the history of the past century, it’s that multi-ethnic and multi-racial societies are inherently unstable and fragile, and that the most orderly, stable and happy countries are homogenous nations made up of people of the same race, ethnicity, culture, heritage, and language. The trajectory of the past century shows that the notion “Diversity is our strength” – a slogan invented by the Zionist “Anti-Defamation League” and proclaimed by President Bill Clinton in a major address – is a demagogic absurdity. American society is failing above all for the same reason that other culturally and ethnically diverse societies have failed in the past.
For many years now, American politicians, the mass media, Hollywood, and the educational establishment, have been encouraging white Americans to think of themselves merely as individuals whose citizenship as Americans is based entirely on a shared devotion to universalist-egalitarian principles.
White Americans grudgingly tolerate “Black Lives Matter” rallies at which black men and women proudly proclaim their African identity, and they condone gatherings where Jews proudly affirm their Jewish identity and support for Israel. Yet European Americans are very uncomfortable or even ashamed to support anything that might be called white identity politics.
It’s no wonder white Americans keep losing: they’re not even playing the same game. Whites are still playing checkers while everyone else is playing chess. Blacks, Jews, Latinos, Muslims, and so forth, have become skilled at the art of identity politics. They understand that serious, high-stakes politics is identity politics. It’s politics that really matters. European Americans haven’t learned that good intentions, ever more “tolerance,” and trying to be “nice” to everyone are not enough. A future for white Americans can be secured only when our people wake up, recognize this reality, and act accordingly.
In coming years, the work of educating our people, of raising awareness, will become ever more important, and will have a steadily greater impact. In this work, the prerequisite for success is to tell the truth. We cannot hope to match our adversaries in scale or intensity of outreach, but we have something working for us that they do not have. We have reality and truth on our side. No matter how much effort is put into presenting falsehood as noble or admirable, it will not endure. Truth and reality matter, especially over the long run.
A useful feature of this great education project, I provocatively suggest, might be our own version of “Critical Race Theory.”
As you know, many white Americans are understandably not happy with “Critical Race Theory,” which promotes a view of history hostile to our heritage. Typically their response has been defensive talk about how much whites have done to abolish slavery, fight racism, and promote equality. Such talk undoubtedly makes some white men and women feel a little better about themselves, but the apologetic attitude underlying it only encourages new and more assertive demands by non-whites.
What’s needed, I suggest, is a new kind of “Critical Race Theory” – an educational program that will describe just how and why white Americans have enabled the takeover and degradation of the great country their forefathers settled, built and controlled, and have permitted the alien takeover of our mainstream media and educational system, the “third-worldization” of our cities, and the malign vilification of the great men of our people and race whom we once honored. To put it another way, we need a diagnostic “Critical Race Theory” that will explain just how and why white Americans have become so timid and craven — so unwilling or unable to defend their own heritage, much less to safeguard our future as a people.
The American national anthem calls this the “land of the free and the home of the brave.” But the truth is that in every country through the ages – and certainly in today’s America – only a small minority is really courageous – that is, willing to risk life and livelihood to fight for much beyond themselves and their families. It takes no courage to drift with the crowd. Weaklings are always quick to cheer those who have fame, money, and power. Cowards are always ready to support a cause that seems victorious. In any society, the portion of the population that has the wit to understand and the heart to care is always a minority.
That’s why I’m glad to be here this weekend, with men and women who think about what’s happening in our country and the world, and, more importantly, who care about our people, our heritage and our future. As the crisis of America and the West deepens, what we do now and in the years ahead will matter more than ever.
For me, the most gratifying and encouraging development of recent years has been the coming of age of a new generation of capable, savvy and articulate young men, and some young women, who “get it,” who’ve “put it all together.” – young people who are not ashamed of who they are, but who instead affirm their – and our – identity and heritage, and whose dedication is anchored in a coherent worldview, and a confident, unblinkered vision of the future. Some of the younger men and women here this weekend who share this concern for our people and posterity will, perhaps, one day be leaders in the struggle for a better, more secure and happier future.
