A friend sent this to me earlier today and I wanted to share with the board. I have not "Snoped" the article nor will I, regardless of where this speech took place, or even if it did not, the salient points are real, valid and accurate.
We know Dick Lamm as Governor of Colorado. In that context his
thoughts are particularly poignant. Last week there was an immigration
overpopulation conference in Washington , DC , filled to capacity by
many of America 's finest minds and leaders. A brilliant college
professor by the name of Victor Hansen Davis talked about his latest
book, 'Mexifornia,' explaining how immigration - both legal and
illegal was destroying the entire state of California . He said it
would march across the country until it destroyed all vestiges of The
American Dream.
Moments later, former Colorado Governor Richard D. Lamm stood up and
gave a stunning speech on how to destroy America .
The audience sat spellbound as he described eight methods for the
destruction of the United States . He said, 'If you believe that
America is too smug, too self-satisfied, too rich, then let's destroy
America . It is not that hard to do. No nation in history has survived
the ravages of time. Arnold Toynbee observed that all great
civilizations rise and fall and that 'An autopsy of history would show
that all great nations commit suicide.'
'Here is how they do it,' Lamm said:
'First, to destroy America , turn America into a bilingual or
multi-lingual and bi-cultural country... History shows that no nation
can survive the tension, conflict, and antagonism of two or more
competing languages and cultures. It is a blessing for an individual
to be bilingual; however, it is a curse for a society to be bilingual.
The historical scholar, Seymour Lipset, put it this way: 'The
histories of bilingual and bi-cultural societies that do not
assimilate are histories of turmoil, tension, and tragedy.' Canada ,
Belgium , Malaysia , and Lebanon all face crises of national existence
in which minorities press for autonomy, if not independence. Pakistan
and Cyprus have divided. Nigeria suppressed an ethnic rebellion.
France faces difficulties with Basques, Bretons, Corsicans and
Muslims.'
Lamm went on:
'Second, to destroy America , invent 'multiculturalism' and encourage
immigrants to maintain their culture. Make it an article of belief
that all cultures are equal; that there are no cultural differences
Make it an article of faith that the Black and Hispanic dropout rates
are due solely to prejudice and discrimination by the majority. Every
other explanation is out of bounds.
'Third, we could make the United States an 'Hispanic Quebec ' without
much effort. The key is to celebrate diversity rather than unity. As
Benjamin Schwarz said in the Atlantic Monthly recently: 'The apparent
success of our own multi-ethnic and multicultural experiment might
have been achieved not by tolerance but by hegemony. Without the
dominance that once dictated ethnocentricy and what it meant to be an
American, we are left with only tolerance and pluralism to hold us
together.' Lamm said, 'I would encourage all immigrants to keep their
own language and culture. I would replace the melting pot metaphor
with the salad bowl metaphor. It is important to ensure that we have
various cultural subgroups living in America enforcing their
differences rather than as Americans, emphasizing their similarities.'
'Fourth, I would make our fastest growing demographic group the least
educated. I would add a second underclass, un-assimilated,
under-educated, and antagonistic to our population. I would have this
second underclass have a 50% dropout rate from high school.'
'My fifth point for destroying America would be to get big foundations
and business to give these efforts lots of money. I would invest in
ethnic identity, and I would establish the cult of 'Victimology...' I
would get all minorities to think that their lack of success was the
fault of the majority. I would start a grievance industry blaming all
minority failure on the majority.'
'My sixth plan for America 's downfall would include dual citizenship,
and promote divided loyalties. I would celebrate diversity over unity.
I would stress differences rather than similarities. Diverse people
worldwide are mostly engaged in hating each other - that is, when they
are not killing each other. A diverse, peaceful, or stable society is
against most historical precept. People undervalue the unity it takes
to keep a nation together. Look at the ancient Greeks. The Greeks
believed that they belonged to the same race; they possessed a common
language and literature; and they worshipped the same gods. All Greece
took part in the Olympic games. A common enemy, Persia , threatened
their liberty. Yet all these bonds were not strong enough to overcome
two factors: local patriotism and geographical conditions that
nurtured political divisions. Greece fell. 'E. Pluribus Unum' -- From
many, one. In that historical reality, if we put the emphasis on the
'pluribus' instead of the 'Unum,' we will 'Balkanize' America as
surely as Kosovo.'
'Next to last, I would place all subjects off limits. Make it taboo to
talk about anything against the cult of 'diversity.' I would find a
word similar to 'heretic' in the 16th century - that stopped
discussion and paralyzed thinking. Words like 'racist' or 'xenophobe'
halt discussion and debate. Having made America a
bilingual/bi-cultural country, having established multi-culturalism,
having the large foundations fund the doctrine of 'Victimology,' I
would next make it impossible to enforce our immigration laws. I would
develop a mantra: That because immigration has been good for America ,
it must always be good. I would make every individual immigrant
symmetric and ignore the cumulative impact of millions of them.'
In the last minute of his speech, Governor Lamm wiped his brow.
Profound silence followed. Finally he said, 'Lastly, I would censor
Victor Hanson Davis's book 'Mexifornia.' His book is dangerous. It
exposes the plan to destroy America . If you feel America deserves to
be destroyed, don't read that book.
There was no applause. A chilling fear quietly rose like an ominous
cloud above every attendee at the conference. Every American in that
room knew that everything Lamm enumerated was proceeding methodically,
quietly, darkly, yet pervasively across the United States today.
Discussion is being suppressed. Over 100 languages are ripping the
foundation of our educational system and national cohesiveness. Even
barbaric cultures that practice female genital mutilation are growing
as we celebrate 'diversity.' American jobs are vanishing into the
Third World as corporations create a Third World in America Take note
of California and other states. To date, ten million illegal aliens
and growing fast. It is reminiscent of George Orwell's book '1984.' In
that story, three slogans are engraved in the Ministry of Truth
building: 'War is peace,' 'Freedom is slavery,' and 'Ignorance is
strength'
Governor Lamm walked back to his seat. It dawned on everyone at the
conference that our nation and the future of this great democracy is
deeply in trouble and worsening fast. If we don't get this immigration
monster stopped within three years, it will rage like a California
wildfire and destroy everything in its path, especially The American
Dream.
If you care for and love our country as I do, take the time to pass
this on just as I did for you.
NOTHING (good) is going to happen if you don't!
