How To Destroy America
Dick Lamm

Posted on 07/14/2008 3:09:38 PM PDT by Allen In Texas Hill Country

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 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 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 bicultural societies that do not assimilate are histor ies 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 ethnocentrcity 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, 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.' 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 most historical precet. 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 'xen ophobe' halt discussion and debate. Having made America a bilingual/bicultural country, having established multi-cultum, having the large foundations fund the doctrine of 'Victimology,' I would next make it impo ssible 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 Orwe ll'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.

Too true

and has almost reached a critical mass ...

can it be stopped?

Not by Obama

Not by McCain

Not by Arnold S.

Not by Bush

not by USSCJ

not by Congress

Not by the UN

Not by the Army

Who then ...

By prayers to God

and by overwhelming protest from the 350,000,000 citizens of the United States of America.

Who else?

There are more than those two who are intentionally out to destroy this country. I think that every internationalist (and GW is one of them) is in the pocket of the UN. This organization would prefer that the entire world will become a mix of US, Europe, Mozambique, Bangladesh and other 4th world nations.

Excellence is definitely not what internationalists and the UN strive for. Reason: if everyone wallows in the sh*t, there will theoretically not be envy between nations and there will be “peeeeees”. (They think)

It's gonna take more than a protest my friend. Unfortunately a revolution will be the last straw.

Thank you for the post. It is the full TRUTH on how to destroy any nation and it is destroying ours for which I am really sad, because I have found NO one in the government who has the guts to stop it.

Well, that’s not quite true: They have our back in the sense they’ll stab us in the back!

'Tis true what you say. I find it strange that many have children and grandchildren that they are sending down that pathway to certain destruction of our nation. So be it. I'm willing to fight. Our youngest son has for 10 years, a fighter, a soldier's soldier. You ought to hear what some good Infantrymen are discussing about making certain choices push come to shove. Some are opting out instead of reenlisting so they won't have to make such dreadful choices.

Remember, that in all meltdowns, there are always ample goons to enforce the edicts and pogroms of oppressive governments.

There will be a window of opportunity and a citizen must recognize that window and act on the opportunity, otherwise, it's to the compounds ye go pilgrim. History has taught us that time and again, especially in the 20th century, which have been untaught basically and if taught, then forgotten about while indulging in hedonistic pleasures.

Drowning people grasp for that straw. I’m afraid a revolution is very much in our future.

The destruction of America is due to the actions of all who have power and wealth: Democrats, Republicans, Big Business. Do they want to destroy America? No, but if their desire for more money and power makes it necessary, they don’t care. The well being of America is secondary to that. And the politicians help them, because they are the toadies of Big Business.

Is there hope? Not much.

During the height of the Cold War, there was a joke: The pessimists are learning Chinese, the optimists are learning Russian.

Today, we can modify that old joke this way: The pessimists are learning Arabic, the optimists are learning Spanish.

It's a Hobson's Choice.

Doomed if we do and doomed if we don't.

It's pathetic that politicans of all stripes are trying to destroy this country.

The revolution should have begun at the top: The White House.

By not enforcing the Rule of Law, President Bush has acted irresponsibly and pissed on the Constitution that he swore to uphold.

I’ve been asked about the source of this speech. Its a speech he gave three years ago and snopes says it is valid. Over the last 3 years it has been often referenced by others.

...and to the Republic Democracy, for which it stands...

I don't think I need to say anything else.
(at least he said nation instead of country so that's one for him)

You can’t destroy America militarily or economically but you can by attacking through an issue that’s a SOCIAL TABOO to talk about.

Hence the billion dollar propaganda campaign promoting DIVERSITY & MULIT-CULTURALISM.

The idea is simple - you promote abortion and the pill to curb your population growth while promoting leftist ideology in the schools. And you flood the US with millions of people from UNSTABLE and UNDEMOCRATIC countries who breed like rabbits on VIAGRA.

And voila! You have an ever-expanding army of SOCIALISM DRONES who’ll take over.
