Multiculturalism, globalism, \u201copen borders,\u201d and the dissolution of<\/em> nations<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

by Peter Goodchild<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE CORROSION of Western civilization can be seen in a group of interrelated political events, as exemplified in Canada, my own country: multiculturalism, globalism, \u201copen borders,\u201d 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most Westerners live in a world of illusion. They might spend their time \u201ccatching the news\u201d 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, \u201cWell, I believe. . . .\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019s brains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most important question, though, is not some vague issue of \u201cethnicity\u201d but rather that of the political motive for these developments. \u201cMulticulturalism\u201d 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Globalism and Western Decline<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 \u2013 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<\/em>. 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The people who have that Western legacy, however, are now disappearing from much of Europe and North America. Instead, we have \u201cmulticulturalism,\u201d which really means the dismantling of \u201cculture,\u201d 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 \u201cguilt\u201d of those who spent thousands of years developing Western civilization. How did these regrettable changes come about?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 \u2013 the same restaurants, the same marriages, the same golf courses. For a change of pace they switch to journalism \u2013 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actually there is only one slogan: \u201cBodies are good for business.\u201d 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stage for decline was set by the lowering of intellectual capacity. Most people, unfortunately, don\u2019t react to much of anything anymore. One of the main reasons for this decline is that people don\u2019t really become adults. We have created a world of cultural neoteny \u2013 prolonged childish behavior, a milieu of \u201cdumbing down\u201d that stretches from birth to death. \u201cNeoteny\u201d is a biological term referring to remaining juvenile for a long period after birth. Obviously humans do this anyway \u2013 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\u2019s play A Doll\u2019s House<\/em> was an early look into that, at least in terms of women. Predictions of cultural neoteny can also be seen in Huxley\u2019s Brave New World<\/em> and in a somewhat grimmer form in Orwell\u2019s 1984<\/em>. This neoteny is pervasive, but it can be seen in such forms as the decline in literacy and the decline in education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s 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\u2019s back to Business as Usual \u2013 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 \u2013 from the Iliad<\/em> onward. People don\u2019t 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\u2019s 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 \u201cmedia\u201d providing the same educational service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019s just training in how to use a cash register. The lowest clerk in the huge building labeled \u201cadministration\u201d has a more pleasant job, and much greater job security, than the average instructor. It\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEducation\u201d 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any form of \u201cnationalism,\u201d any statement of pride in one\u2019s 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 \u201call cultures are equal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By propagating an \u201cunderdog\u201d mentality among Westerners, globalists have encouraged the nanny state, with people living in perpetual imbecility and irresponsibility. There is now a strong sense of \u201cwrong,\u201d 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 \u201creal man\u201d 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 \u201cgenders,\u201d \u201cbi-\u201d this and \u201cpoly-\u201d 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!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 \u201cother cultures\u201d are always happy to agree. And once that \u201cguilt\u201d has become established as \u201cfact,\u201d every piece of writing that appears in public must emphasize \u201cmulticulturalism\u201d at all costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All \u201crespectable\u201d 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Growth of Cultural Marxism<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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, \u201cunderdog\u201d 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 \u201ccultural Marxism.\u201d 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 \u201cculture\u201d rather than openly advocating revolution. The movement began roughly with Georg Luk\u00e1cs 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019s rise to power in 1933, the Institute left Germany, finally moving to New York City, where it was affiliated with Columbia University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In \u201cThe Origins of Political Correctness\u201d (version of 2000), William S. Lind breaks cultural Marxism down into five parts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhere does all this stuff that you\u2019ve heard about . . . the victim feminism, the gay rights movement, the invented statistics, the rewritten history, the lies, the demands, all the rest of it \u2013 where does it come from? For the first time in our history, Americans have to be fearful of what they say. . . . .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe call it \u201cPolitical Correctness\u201d. . . .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPolitical 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. . . .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFirst of all, both are totalitarian ideologies. The totalitarian nature of Political Correctness is revealed nowhere more clearly than on college campuses. . . .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIndeed, 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSecond, 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. . . .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThird, certain groups . . . are a priori good, and other groups . . . are evil . . . regardless of what any of them do. . . .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFourth, 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. . . .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd finally, both have a method of analysis that automatically gives the answers they want. . . . . For the cultural Marxist, it\u2019s 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. . . .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe members of the Frankfurt School are Marxist, they are also, to a man, Jewish.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is commonly assumed that the term \u201ccultural Marxism\u201d is a right-wing invention. As such, it could be described as a form of \u201cparanoid global conspiracy theory,\u201d along with so many other right-wing concepts that are casually dismissed in similar ways. But the term isn\u2019t a right-wing invention at all. The use of the term \u201ccultural Marxism\u201d 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<\/em> Britain<\/em>; Lawrence Grossberg and Cary Nelson, Marxism and the<\/em> Interpretation of Culture<\/em>; Frederic Miller and Agnes F. Vandome, Cultural Marxism<\/em>; and Richard R. Weiner, Cultural Marxism and<\/em> Political Sociology<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So \u201ccultural Marxism\u201d isn\u2019t a form of \u201cparanoid global conspiracy theory,\u201d since it isn\u2019t paranoid and it isn\u2019t 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\u2019s not surprising that people just accept the claim that cultural Marxism is a figment of the deranged right-wing imagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cultural Marxism is in fact the engine that keeps the whole \u201cmulticultural\u201d ship moving along. But even fairly knowledgeable people don\u2019t really think much about that engine, except maybe when they\u2019re lying in their bunks at night and they hear a distant chugging sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The attack \u2013 by Westerners \u2013 on Western beliefs and values never slows down. The \u201cHippie Revolution,\u201d 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.\u2019s 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 \u201cvirtual reality.\u201d Illicit drugs and inadequate diets further reduce our mental capacities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sorry \u2013 maybe some of this can\u2019t be laid at the feet of poor Karl Marx. Perhaps some of this is just a matter of \u201clifestyle choice,\u201d to use modern jargon. But is there really a difference?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A related problem that makes cultural Marxism so hard to analyze is that to some extent it\u2019s a group of overlapping activities, not just one, and that\u2019s especially true nowadays. Multiculturalism, sexual deviancy, mass immigration, \u201csanctuary cities,\u201d aggressive religions, dumbing down, \u201cliberalism\u201d that is not at all liberal, and so on \u2013 the modern world has become somewhat shapeless and formless. The trail of Marxism is so long, and goes cold so often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At times the trail becomes quite ludicrous, with \u201cmulticulturalism\u201d 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the inclusion of non-Whites is good for business, since such people compose a new and possibly lucrative customer base \u2013 \u201cdiversity is our strength\u201d 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!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does the term \u201cleft wing\u201d itself really mean? In France long ago, the terms \u201cleft\u201d and \u201cright\u201d had precise meanings, based on where one was actually sitting in the Estates General<\/em>, indicating one\u2019s attitude toward the Revolution. Now perhaps \u201cleft wing\u201d means big government, and big spending by that government, but above all it means supporting the \u201cpoor\u201d rather than the \u201crich.\u201d By the \u201cpoor\u201d I mean the voters, of course, not the people leading such flocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As soon as \u201cguilt\u201d has become established as \u201cfact,\u201d every relevant piece of paper that appears in public must emphasize \u201cmulticulturalism\u201d at all costs. Although the terms are used misleadingly, everything must also stress \u201cfairness,\u201d \u201cdemocracy,\u201d and \u201cequal rights.\u201d The punishment for breaches of \u201cmulticulturalism\u201d is swift and merciless, unless one is attacking Christians; Easter seems always ready to disappear from the free calendars handed out by politicians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most leftists believe all cultures are, in some inexplicable way, equal. In their naivet\u00e9, 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 \u201ctolerance\u201d in one country would just as surely result in a death sentence in another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Above all, cultural Marxism is an effective means of rationalizing the quest for \u201cthe ethnic vote.\u201d The cultural-Marxist dogma plays into an alleged economic need: to increase immigration and thereby sustain a \u201cgrowing economy.\u201d 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 \u201cfaithful\u201d means a greater chance of pushing out competitors. Yet none of these groups has the good of the country in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 \u201chuman trafficking\u201d 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 \u2014 or rather, they are faced with the near-impossibility of doing so. As I was once told by a white woman, \u201cThis isn\u2019t a good world in which to be bringing up children.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One Ring to Bind Them All<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 \u201cterrorists,\u201d not specifically by \u201cMuslims.\u201d 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\u2019s 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 \u201cterrorists\u201d rather than \u201cMuslims,\u201d the average television-viewer can wipe the sweat from his forehead and say, \u201cOh, thank God. Terrorists. I was afraid it was Muslims.\u201d Then he can go to bed, sleep like a baby, and snore all night long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019ll 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order<\/em>, Samuel P. Huntington notes that \u201cwherever one looks along the perimeter of Islam, Muslims have problems living peacefully with their neighbors.\u201d 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\u2019or) 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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<\/em> (religious warfare) is moving even further west. What will happen next in Germany, for example?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then there\u2019s the great stumbling block of Germany\u2019s 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 \u2013 sorry, \u201cSyrian refugees\u201d \u2013 to swarm into Germany and destroy whatever was left of German self-esteem?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 \u201cwhite,\u201d \u201crace,\u201d \u201cethnic,\u201d or \u201cnationalist\u201d in any positive sense. When those \u201crebels\u201d (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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019s own country, and to do that the opposite to nationalism must be instituted: \u201cmulticulturalism.\u201d And what better way to make a country \u201cmulticultural\u201d than to bring in a few million families from places where people don\u2019t even believe in birth control? If a few suicide bombers get a little out of hand, then \u2013 well, it\u2019s a small price to pay. And, yes, it\u2019s true that too many massacres could put a dent in the One Worlders\u2019 plans. Never mind. As Tolkien said: \u201cOne Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, \/ One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. . . .\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canada Is Not Vacant Land<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019s 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 \u201cunderpopulated.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019s 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 \u201cempty\u201d land, just waiting to get filled up. In reality, at 38 million the population is now nearly three times greater than in 1950.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 \u2013 measured in terms of the quantity of bodies \u2013 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multiculturalism also leads to cultural relativism. Canadians of European extraction are now taught to believe that there is no such thing as barbarism, only \u201ccultural differences.\u201d 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 \u201cracists.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 \u201cfree\u201d 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pierre Trudeau\u2019s 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<\/em> (Muslim law) corrode basic Canadian values. According to the highly respected journalist Robert Fisk (\u201cThe Crimewave That Shames the World\u201d), about twenty thousand Muslim women every year are the victims of \u201chonor killings\u201d 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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019 rationale for any moral or legal infractions was always the phrase \u201cin my culture\u201d (or \u201cin my country\u201d). Who, specifically, is teaching newcomers such expressions? Politicians are quite aware that \u201cculture\u201d is not a valid catch-all term, but they don\u2019t seem to care. After all, a higher rate of immigration means more votes, and more customers, and more sweatshops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 \u201chuman rights.\u201d 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\u2019s like a charge of witchcraft: whatever you say, your statement can be turned around to \u201cprove\u201d 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 \u201cthought crimes\u201d long ago in 1984<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s 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\u2019s \u201cGreat Leap Forward,\u201d 1958-61, when about 30 million people died. Now hunger is again looming in that country. China\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

China is the world\u2019s 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\u2019s population, it produces only about 5 percent of the world\u2019s oil, it uses up coal so quickly that its reserves will not last beyond 2030, and the country\u2019s pollution problems are terrible. And China\u2019s \u201cbooming economy\u201d is based on devalued currency, counterfeiting, and what is virtually slave labor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cfossil\u201d (deep) aquifer of the North China Plain is being depleted, although fossil aquifers cannot be renewed. Yet this aquifer maintains half of China\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

China now imports most of its soybeans, and conversely most of the world\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 \u201ceducation,\u201d 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 \u201cmoderate Islam\u201d versus \u201cradical Islam\u201d: Islam comes in only one form, the one that was invented in the seventh century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 \u201cdialog\u201d 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 \u201cat the point of a sword,\u201d but that has always been more true of Islam. The term jihad is not a metaphor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 \u201cmoral inferiority\u201d 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 \u201cB.C.\u201d and \u201cA.D.\u201d must be rewritten as \u201cBCE\u201d and \u201cCE.\u201d All of this is absolute nonsense. To be convinced of one\u2019s own inferiority is nothing more than to accept that some other person is superior \u2013 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.
