Subject: Richard Lamm's Warning

       We know Dick Lamm as the former 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 American'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, the! n 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  
bicultural 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 pres! s for autonomy, if not  
independence.  Pakistan and Cyprus have di vided. Nigeria  
suppressed an ethnic rebellion.  France faces difficulties with  
Basques, Bretons, and Corsicans.".

      Lamm went on: Second, to destroy America, "Invent  
'multiculturalism' and encourage immigrants to maintain their  
culture.  I would make it an article of belief that all cultures  
are equal.  That there are no cultural differences.  I would 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 multiethnic and multicultural  
experiment might have been achieved not by tolerance but by  
hegemony.  Without the dominance tha! t once dictated  
ethnocentricity 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 emphasizing their similarities as Americans".

        "Fourth, I would make our fastest growing demographic group  
the least educated.  I would add a second underclass,  
unassimilated, undereducated, 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.'&nbs p; 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  
population."

       "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 historical  
precedent.  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 liber! ty. 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/bicultural country, having established multi-culturism,  
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 ind  
ividual 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 the situation worsening  
quickly.  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.
