Getting the Government the Third World Deserves
When Thomas Jefferson said that “people get the government they deserve,” it was more than just a clever turn of phrase. It also was not an isolated insight but a timeless truth, one expressed by many. William Cowper said,
“When was public virtue to be found when private was not?”
Benjamin Franklin stated,
“Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become more corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.”
Truth be known, I could probably fill a book with the words of wise ones who have spoken in kind. But, you know, I understand this principle well. I know that people get the government they deserve; what bothers me is that I’m going to get the government they deserve.
You should be bothered, too. With the “people” changing radically through Third World immigration (Ted Kennedy’s 1965 immigration act ensures that 85 percent of immigrants come from the Third World and Asia), it’s legitimate to wonder how demographics influence democracy. And it’s not hard to understand how these folks will shape government, for they have done so before – in their own lands.
Since our largest immigrant group hails from Mexico, let’s look south of the border. Mexico is a thoroughly corrupt country, not at all unique in the Third World but certainly emblematic of it. For instance, they have the dubious distinction of possibly having the most corrupt police force in the world, as Mexican authorities enforce whatever law pays them the most. According to a documentary on the subject, you can buy your way out of a fatal hit-and-run for 450 dollars. But the corruption is so systemic that many of us have heard the stories ourselves. I remember being told of a man who traveled to Mexico and was mugged by the police (a documented example of theft by Mexican police can be found here). Then I heard about a hapless soul who had to sell his home to pay tribute to a family with more clout and a grudge against him; the police payed him a visit and told him he’d be shot if he didn’t. Most recently, an acquaintance told me how he was pulled over for running a stop sign that didn’t exist and had to pay the crooked cop a bribe so he could continue on his way. And this corruption is mirrored in every aspect of Mexican society, in the bureaucrats, the courts and, of course, the politicians.
This is why cultural equivalency doctrine is nonsense. People may complain about corruption here, and while it certainly exists, it’s the exception, not the norm; by and large, we are still governed by the rule of law. We don’t fully appreciate this because in just the same way some of us take our lifestyle for granted – not realizing ours is a life of silk and satin as compared to most of the world – we also take for granted that one will be able to conduct everyday business and others will play by the rules. But in most of the world this is the exception, not the norm.
In other words, if we want to descend into a culture of corruption, all we need do is continue the importation of Third Worlders through immigration, both illegal and legal. Naturalization won’t inculcate virtue; rather, they will bring their passions, ideology and voting habits with them and lend their support to the same kinds of corrupt leftists they supported in their native lands.
As to this, first-time Hispanic voters cast ballots for Bill Clinton by a staggering margin of fifteen to one. So, while Bush once said that family values don’t stop at the border, it certainly seems that free market ones do. Preying on this, there is a tacit offer being made by the traitorous politicians among us:
Listen, come here with millions of your fellow travelers and vote for us, and, oh, oh, the rape shall commence. We’ll give you the wealth of the native people; we don’t know how to say it in Spanish, but we have a nice euphemism: “Redistribution.” And the provincialists who would call it theft are simply too stupid to understand that if we make it legal, it cannot be wrong.
Whenever I sound this alarm, I always receive emails from those who call me an alarmist, if not something worse. They state with assurance that these Third Worlders will assimilate, just as Americans always had.
They dream.
If you want a glimpse of things to come (unless we reverse course), just study states in which Third Worlders have settled. California was once a place where Ronald Reagan reigned supreme, a conservative citadel. Now, with the majority of its population being of Third World and Asian heritage, it’s on the cutting edge of societal devolution. Its senators are Barbara Boxer and Diane Crimestein, and it has become a metaphor for politically correct insanity. Reagan could be resurrected with all his charm and oratorical splendor, and he would not win his home state.
Arizona is another prime example. Once synonymous with Barry Goldwater, it now elects senators such as John McCain and Jon Kyl, amnesty advocates both. Hey, they know their constituency.
What do you think will happen when the Third World invasion hits your region? Is your state possessed of a special aura that will magically transform these groups’ collective ideology? The truth is that once the whole nation looks like California, you’ll be pressing two for English.
If you’re a leftist such as Nancy Pelosi or Hillary Clinton, you welcome this importation of socialist-minded voters. If Lady Macbeth is her party’s nominee, California will be a lock, and if the whole nation looked like the Golden State . . . well, her biggest worry would be competition from the left. Yes, just imagine, if we become Mexico North, we’ll have a Hillary Clinton or Al Gore on the right against a Hugo Chavez on the left. Talk about the lesser of two evils.
Many have opined that this demographic trend spells doom for the Republican Party. This epitaph is premature, however, so be not afraid if you’re comforted by the sight of an office holder with an “R” beside his name. Political parties are remarkably malleable; like water, they take the shape of the vessel in which they find themselves. Sure, the Republicans will initially struggle to “rehabilitate” their image as an entity not given to nanny state, cradle-to-grave giveaways and perennial pandering to minority angst, but they shall persevere. You’ll get your candidates with the R’s. Although they may need to have Z’s to the left of them.
As for those welcoming this cultural suicide, they will learn the hard way that one must be careful what he wishes for; you see, by and large, they know not what they sow. The politicians are blinded by power, the business interests by money, and the Mexicans by ethnic patriotism. And, ironically, it is the last group that will probably be most unhappy as we devolve into Mexico North. The only concerns of politicians and business are, respectively, power here and now and money here and now. Most of these people are fairly old, and life beyond the next few elections or few dozen financial quarters is of no consequence. If they are still around, perhaps assimilating into the culture of the French Riviera by joining the locals in mockery of boorish Americans, their Lear jets will spirit them away to lands of milk and honey and their plunder will buy them all the political favors and favorable court rulings a Master of the Universe could ever need.
The hapless Third Worlders, like most of the rest of us, won’t be so fortunate. Languishing in a nation reminiscent of Blade Runner (that is, assuming America remains intact), they won’t have pockets deep enough in which to keep police, bureaucrats, judges and politicians. They will occupy the second lowest tier in an economic caste system – right above white native Americans.
Of course, one group that will welcome this cultural and economic breakdown is the Islamists. A corrupt, balkanized land where political correctness carries the day is fertile soil for those who prey on desperate souls yearning for meaning and moral order.
Be assured, though, immigration will come to an end. Once the rape of these United States is complete, with money redistributed, productivity and wealth creation squelched and currency devalued, immigrants will stop coming here. People generally don’t go from one Third World country to another.
With the picture I’ve painted, one might think I have stock in the maker of Prozac. Theoretically, though, we could still right the ship. But the first step is the termination of an abusive relationship: Our love affair with immigration. The historical norm is to protect your shores from culturally imperialistic foreign elements, not invite them in. And the only reason this simple truth escapes us is that we have fallen victim to immigration and diversity dogma, to a sinister salesmanship, a leftist juggernaut that could sell a full-length burka to a NOW member. And, in a way, that’s exactly what they’re doing.
Or perhaps it’s more like selling pork carnitas to a jihadist.
No, actually, it’s more like selling death to a civilization.

To be honest, for a lot of this to go away we would need to have a Glorious Revolution that returns the country back to the proper reading of the Constitution and failing that, secession. And if secession it be, be prepared to fight for our lives and our freedoms since the unitarians will seek to destroy us.
They are already on that path as it is, they don’t like a white America (which I feel I must add I don’t care if America is white or not, I just hate be considered evil due to my skin color) and won’t let its true culture survive as well. Quite frankly I don’t want my family sold into the kind of mental slavery born into half the population of this country as it is and if that means that I have to war to save the other half to keep my family free, then even though I care not for them I will fight.

The Internet has given power.
The Revolution has already begun.
Three Battles Rage and go unreported in North America, the fourth touched on and Reported a wackos.
The sub-Groups are confederating with each new battle, thus the numbers in forces are increasing in every engagement, not diminishing.
In fact yesterday the U.S. Government moved to surround the Home of Ed and Elaine Brown in New Hampshire, to take them into custody in a case where the Judge (same personage and tactics of teh usual suspects identified by Mr. Usher) Usurped the Right to a Fair Trial, the Jury was told that there is no such thing as Jury Nullification (shades of Peter Zenger and William Penn Trials), and denied them the right to show all of the evidence used by them in defense of their legal position and Right to withhold Money from the Government until answers to questions are provided (an ancient right since the Magna Carta per the Annuls of the Continental Congress October 24, 1774).
Well, the siege began yesterday. Until the word go to a couple of friends of mine.
The Government has backed off for now and More Media is streaming in to press for fair trial, and expose the lawlessness of government. Some will be human shields to not only diver the next Waco, but also to press the Judge.
The Course of Action was Telephone calls, that reached an Apex at the County Sheriff’s office over Plainfield, where it is reported that the Sheriff’s Receptionist was going to stop answering the Phones.
Funny how the same thing was kind of sort of happening last week and the week before last when the Senate took on the immigration Bill which is tied to the SPP and some other really awful stuff regarding the 2nd Amendment. (The incessant ringing of the Phones that staff were either told would not happen or told to placate to allow the Senate to try and move forward, must have sent people huddling under their desks)
Funny how in the story of the Candidacy of Ron Paul his mass appeal on the internet is attributed to a “well organized group” of alleged spammers. (Wolf Blitzer is getting that wrath now I hear.)
The War on the MSM, the Federal Judicial Rebellion against the People, and the Usual Suspects in Congress has begun.
Let us face it. The People are organized now and are taking action. The only response of the MSM is to speak of the power of the Net in a condescending way, the Senate has to kill the immigration Bill (thanks for trying our Network only has expanded to more angry Citizens), and the U.S. Law Enforcement has to pull back the blockade and APC’s (sorry chaps you just got the attention fo the whole 911 Truth Movement to add their voice to the Tax Honesty Movement).
The only move other than capitulation to the Will of the People is suppress the Net.
This is already happening as messages to me are on a 24 hour delay.
Back up systems are being devised around the Blocking moves of the “Controllers.” The Network is having to adapt and overcome. WE WILL.
Phone systems will have to be taken out to stop that, since the Controllers have demonstrated their willingness to take out portions of the Net or even censor.
Strange how the People insist on being heard – not ‘a herd’.
But do not listen to me, I am a “Nut”, as certain as none of this is happening.
Mr. Rudov, I am still waiting for my apology, or are you going to continue to stay your course of lack of character and deny your effort to assassinate my character by your censorship?

Unfortunately, this is the way of all civilisations. Collapse is always from within.
It only takes one generation of affluence and relatively benign government for a society to forget that things were not always so. People who have never lived under oppressive, corrupt regimes and/or grinding poverty are generally incapable of empathy with the mindset required to survive these conditions – a mindset often completely antithetical to their own.
When people emigrate from these regimes to a vibrant and confident society (like the US in the 60s) in controlled numbers, the force of the culture surrounding them will tend to encourage them to adopt the mindset of the host culture and pass it on to their offspring.
In the West, affluence and benign government has given room for the narcissistic navel-gazing that passes for introspection among the socialist academics (they would be ‘politically re-educated’ or simply liquidated elsewhere). The result of this is ‘multiculturalism’ – the idea that all cultures are equal, except the host Western culture, which is the fons et origins of all contemporary evil.
The ramblings of the diseased minds in academia would be irrelevant if multiculturalism were not also linked to open boarders immigration policies. What the alleged academics who would call me racist fail to understand is that the color of the immigrants’ skin is irrelevant; it is the cultural attitudes they bring. If they bring western liberal democratic beliefs then there is no problem.
The problems arise when they don’t have these liberal (old fashioned meaning) beliefs and if there is no confident society for them to assimilate to: because they will not even try. When immigration numbers are uncontrolled and the immigrants are told continually (by the socialist media) that our culture is evil (and by extension that all other cultures are ‘good’) then it is logical for the large numbers of immigrants to impose their own culture on the host. The same culture that made the country they left a third world toilet.
The result is that the immigrants turn the host into the kind of divided basket-case country they left, hoping for a better life. The only people who benefit from this are left wing politicians who can buy these peoples’ votes by promising to ‘redistribute’ the country’s wealth to them.
