“So browns and blacks in; whites out.  That + birth rate differentials = race replacement by design.”  (—from the log entry)

That sums it up right there.  Especially the last two words:  by design.  Let no one doubt it’s deliberate, coldly calculated, by an array of forces that explicitly in their minds wish race-replacement on the Eurosphere countries.  What’s going on simply cannot be explained any other way.

EU immigration

“As public concern has increased supporters of immigration have tried to give the impression that the majority come from the new EU member states and that, in time as their economies improve, they will return home – thus implying that public fears are groundless,’ said Sir Andrew Green, Migrationwatch chairman”

How many times have I banged on that the BBC (media) has thrown all the immigration emphasise on EU immigration.  I have commented several time that this was a deliberate ruse to give the public impression that third world immigration had dried up. (or much reduced)

And another thing

There seems to be a deliberate policy of non training for a large section of our young non academics, in other words they go from education to daytime television never to be seen again.

As I say, this is deliberate creation of skills shortage, and hey, if we have a skills shortage then we will have to beg for more immigrants to fill the gap.

Fred - your dead right.

“At present, despite the hype, numbers are relatively low — only 167,000 high skilled workers came to this country on official figures from 2005”

None of these skilled migrants would have have had any problem with gaining legal immigrant status under the pre-asylum rules. The fact that only 167,000 out of the hundreds of thousands of migrants that the UN sewer has flushed onto our shores qualify as skilled, is an indictment of the asylum system, not a vindication of it.

“The principles of free trade have yet to affect the movement of people to the same extent as the trade in goods and services.  While world trade volumes increased by a factor of seven between 1975 and 2005, world migrant stocks increased by about 2.5 per cent”

That old chestnut! So people are just another trade item to be shuffled around the world in the interests of economic expediency? Wasn’t Joe Stalin the last person to experiment with that sort of thing?

Trade is an exchange. Cash is provided and goods are supplied. Under a traditional discretionary system of immigration, residency right are exchanged for skills. Under the present system European nations are required to surrender residency rights to people with no skills. This is not an exchange. It is an undemocratic transfer of wealth.

Trade is not “free”. Trade is limited by the ability of the purchaser of goods and services to pay for these goods and services. There is no more valid economic argument for allowing people who cannot make an economic contribution to our European nations than their is for demanding the continued provision of goods and services that can no longer be paid for.

“There is no more valid economic argument for allowing people who cannot make an economic contribution to our European nations than their is for demanding the continued provision of goods and services that can no longer be paid for.”  (—Calvin)

And in any case, whether or not there’s an economic contribution to be made, there can be no valid argument for bringing in, on a permanent citizenship basis, race-replacement volumes of the racially unlike to make it.  Economic needs can always be met in ways other than changing your own nation’s race:  whatever the racially unlike can do, plenty of people of your own nation and race can do, don’t worry.  As Calvin says, all that’s needed is to make sure your own people are trained properly.  There’s a need for plumbers that the Poles are filling?  OK, then why isn’t the government taking some of these chavs who run around in hooded sweatshits and golden necklaces and training them as plumbers instead of teaching them feminism, Martin-Luther-King worship, correct answers in arithmetic are racist, and the white man is the cancer of history (all the stuff, in other words, that makes them rebel and turn into chavs in the first place — that plus the way they’re being deliberately crowded out and replaced by non-whites everywhere they look, everywhere they turn)? 

Precisely because there is no valid argument in favor of the present immigration scheme (“scheme” is what it is; in no way is it happening “by itself”; it’s wholly artificial and imposed, and could be ended in five minutes — just put someone like me in power, you’ll see what’ll happen to it), and there can be no valid argument, the other side doesn’t attempt to make one, insisting instead that non-whites must come flooding in because otherwise you in the white receiving country haven’t sufficiently proven your antiracism.  That’s their argument.  No, not on its surface but that’s what it boils down to.  Their final position is unless you warmly embrace your own race’s genocide you are a racist, and since being racist is not permitted your own race’s genocide must be forced on you.  That’s it.  That’s their argument.

Of course they try to trot out infantile camouflage so transparently ridiculous not even a child would fall for it.  We’ve always been “a nation of immigrants”?  Well, whatever the truth of that is (zero, of course), we certainly never before were a nation on the receiving end of massive non-white population transfers — not “immigration,” outright massive race-replacement population transfers — and we don’t intend to start now, so bog off.  That should be everyone’s answer to that crap, with similar ones for all the rest of the nonsense they shamelessly trot out.

What they are about is race-replacement, make no mistake.  What Powell saw forty years ago is by now obvious to everyone including them.  If they persist it’s because they desire the outcome Powell warned against, it’s as simple as that.  They can only succeed if you let them, people, so open your eyes.

I wonder if these same experts would want Israel to throw open its doors to the world’s tens of millions of “skilled” migrants?

The case would surely be made that there is no high-tech skills shortage in Israel, and come to think of it, why would there be? Israelis can afford their decent educations when heavily subsidized by Western tax dollars. Pride-instilling nationalist schools and a sane immigration doesn’t hurt either.

I’d be nice if we weren’t being criticized for what the critics themselves do.

There’s not money enough in the world to repay the damage done by the defamations of that particular people, Mr. Scrooby. We’ve been literally ruined fighting the wars instigated by their mouths.

In terms of a reparations, we should instead profit ourselves by heeding Martin Luther’s advice:

What shall we Christians do with this rejected and condemned people, the Jews? Let us apply the ordinary wisdom of other nations like France, Spain, Bohemia, et al., who made them give an account of what they had stolen through usury, and divided it evenly; but expelled them from their country; For as heard before, God’s wrath is so great over them that through soft mercy they only become more wicked, through hard treatment, however, only a little better. Therefore, away with them!

Martin Luther
On the Jews and Their Lies

Our failure to follow the blunt warnings of the past is startling, as the advice of our forefathers is explicit. There’s no misreading it.

Here are more detailed instructions from Martin Luther:

What then shall we Christians do with this damned, rejected race of Jews? Since they live among us, we dare not tolerate their conduct, now that we are aware of their lying and reviling and blaspheming. If we do, we become sharers in their lies, cursing and blasphemy. Thus we cannot extinguish the unquenchable fire of divine wrath, of which the prophets speak, nor can we convert the Jews. With prayer and the fear of God we must practice a sharp mercy to see whether we might save at least a few from the glowing flames. We dare not avenge ourselves. Vengeance a thousand times worse than we could wish them already has them by the throat. I shall give you my sincere advice:

First to set fire to their synagogues or schools and to bury and cover with dirt whatever will not burn, so that no man will ever again see a stone or cinder of them. This is to be done in honor of our Lord and of Christendom, so that God might see that we are Christians, and do not condone or knowingly tolerate such public lying, cursing, and blaspheming of his Son and of his Christians. For whatever we tolerated in the past unknowingly—and I myself was unaware of it—will be pardoned by God. But if we, now that we are informed, were to protect and shield such a house for the Jews, existing right before our very nose, in which they lie about, blaspheme, curse, vilify, and defame Christ and us (as was heard above), it would be the same as if we were doing all this and even worse ourselves, as we very well know.

Second, I advise that their houses also be razed and destroyed. For they pursue in them the same aims as in their synagogues. Instead they might be lodged under a roof or in a barn, like the gypsies. This will bring home to them that they are not masters in our country, as they boast, but that they are living in exile and in captivity, as they incessantly wail and lament about us before God.

Third, I advise that all their prayer books and Talmudic writings, in which such idolatry, lies, cursing and blasphemy are taught, be taken from them. . .

Fourth, I advise that their rabbis be forbidden to teach henceforth on pain of loss of life and limb. For they have justly forfeited the right to such an office by holding the poor Jews captive with the saying of Moses (Deuteronomy 17 [:10 ff.]) in which he commands them to obey their teachers on penalty of death, although Moses clearly adds: “what they teach you in accord with the Law of the Lord.” Those villains ignore that. They wantonly employ the poor people’s obedience contrary to the law of the Lord and infuse them with this poison, cursing, and blasphemy. In the same way the pope also held us captive with the declaration in Matthew 16 {:18], “You are Peter,” etc, inducing us to believe all the lies and deceptions that issued from his devilish mind. He did not teach in accord with the Word of God, and therefore he forfeited the right to teach.

Fifth, I advise that safe-conduct on the highways be abolished completely for the Jews. For they have no business in the countryside, since they are not lords, officials, tradesmen, or the like. Let they stay at home. . . If you princes and nobles do not close the road legally to such exploiters, then some troop ought to ride against them, for they will learn from this pamphlet what the Jews are and how to handle them and that they ought not to be protected. You ought not, you cannot protect them, unless in the eyes of God you want to share all their abomination.

Sixth, I advise that usury be prohibited to them, and that all cash and treasure of silver and gold be taken from them and put aside for safekeeping. The reason for such a measure is that, as said above, they have no other means of earning a livelihood than usury, and by it they have stolen and robbed from us all they possess. Such money should now be used in no other way than the following: Whenever a Jew is sincerely converted, he should be handed one hundred, two hundred, or three hundred florins, as personal circumstances may suggest. With this he could set himself up in some occupation for the support of his poor wife and children, and the maintenance of the old or feeble. For such evil gains are cursed if they are not put to use with God’s blessing in a good and worthy cause.

Seventh, I commend putting a flail, an ax, a hoe, a spade, a distaff, or a spindle into the hands of young, strong Jews and Jewesses and letting them earn their bread in the sweat of their brow, as was imposed on the children of Adam (Gen 3[:19]). For it is not fitting that they should let us accursed Goyim toil in the sweat of our faces while they, the holy people, idle away their time behind the stove, feasting and farting, and on top of all, boasting blasphemously of their lordship over the Christians by means of our sweat. No, one should toss out these lazy rogues by the seat of their pants.

The report is utter, utter bollocks worthy of Phillipe Legrain at his stupidest.
Take the conflation of ‘free trade’ with ‘free immigration’ for example.
The author seems to lament that the growth in ‘free immigration’ has not kept up with the growth in ‘free trade’ and seems to take a negative view of this.
Now, the classic case for free tade benefit all of those who participate in it was made by Adam Smith and David Ricardo around 200 years ago - and the theory (as opposed to actual practice) has never really been seriously refuted.As far as I am aware no classical economist of days gone by (the only economics worth a fart) never, ever proposed a mathematical and logical general theory of ‘free immigration’ as acting to ‘benefit’ all concerned.
In fact, the whole idea of trade between nations was and is to obviate the need of citizens in one country to move to another country in order to seek out pastures new.
As Enoch Powell said ‘We don’t need to go to the West indies in order to eat bananas’ - No the invisible hand of trade sorts out the aptitudes and talents of the nations of the world in such a manner that goods travel and not people.
If Iindia has the ‘cleverst’ people, and the whole iT industry locates there - then so be it!
the whole point of economics as the eminently logical classicists constructed it is that the indians need to buy something from us in order to sell us their software.

I’m not in favor of radical free trade (or extreme protectionism) but Catweazle makes an excellent point in response to today’s generation of nation-erasing free traders who (à la John Lennon’s horrible song “Imagine”) insist on “free movement of labor to go along with free movement of capital”: 

“As far as I am aware, no classical economist [...] ever proposed a mathematical and logical general theory of ‘free immigration’ as acting to ‘benefit’ all concerned.  In fact, the whole idea of trade between nations was and is to obviate the need of citizens in one country to move to another country in order to seek out pastures new.”

Brilliant:  so, the whole idea of trade is to keep people from having to leave their homes and move to other countries!  Makes sense! 

But even if it’s wrong — even if there’s some obscure economics reason why “today’s free movement of capital across national boundaries requires free movement of labor across national boundaries,” perhaps you’d better take your “free movement of capital across national boundaries” and shove it you-know-where because “free movement of labor across national boundaries” — nation-erasure, that is — is a non-starter, pal.  We’re opting out.  Let’s stick with the old system:  reasonable movement of capital across national boundaries and rationally restricted movement of labor across them, consistent with the existence of nations and lots of other good things.  But ... but ... but ... that’ll mean George Soros will accumulate a few billion dollars less next year?  So ... under that system he’ll only be worth 47 billion instead of 51 billion?  Hey I might lose a little sleep over that but somehow — just trust me on this — I think I’ll be OK ...

Posted by Fred Scrooby on Wed, 04 Jun 2008 13:54 | #

(No, Lennon’s song didn’t insist on “free movement of labor to go along with free movement of capital,” but it yearned for the same outcome:  nation-erasure.  That was what I meant in mentioning it.)

Fundamentally it’s like anything else in economics:  you could clear-cut forests in pursuit of pure profits without regard to anything else, and you’d get your big profits certainly, but it’s wrong to clear-cut because that destroys things of value:  you should forego a portion of your potential profit in order to engage in rational, ecologically sensible logging of timber which conserves what benefits everyone.  You don’t destroy things of great communitywide value — waterfront property, forests, archaeological sites, the family farm, small towns and their small-town “Main Streets,” “flyover country,” Russian and Ukrainian girls’ virginity, and so on, merely in order to put more dollars in your own pocket.  Nations and races are things of great communitywide value, so the fact that you may well be able to stuff your greedy pockets with more gold by opening the borders and getting labor moving around my country freely doesn’t impress me, not one bit, and you shouldn’t be doing it.  I and people like me aim to end it.  Deal with that.

Posted by Catweazle on Wed, 04 Jun 2008 14:57 | #

Of course these fuckwits display their profound ignorance of their supposed spcialist subject every time they speak (thinking of arch-arsehole legrain in particular).
Now, the only rational objective of any government’s ‘economic policy’ is to -as far as humanly possible - to eliminate poverty and increase general living standards - yes, even in capitalism - the whole rationale behind ‘fat-cats’ is that they somehow are the tangible result of a great economic need or efficiency being met somewhere in the system.
Without the objective of raising living-standards of the general population, economics is just a pointless, worthless exercise in talking unprovable politically biased crap all day long.
In a nation state, if a certain occupation is deemed to have a ‘shortage’ of workers then by the law of supply and demand (basically the only thing in economics worth knowing - yet the ‘clever’ people deny, deny and deny it when it doesn’t fit with their political theories), the wages for that occupation increase.This acts as a signal and encouragement for workers in lower-paying, less productive jobs to try to train to take these jobs.
Simple and obvious, been going on since the caveman stopped knapping flints and started smelting copper - basically its the only way that living standards ever rose in the first place.
Now, by this mechanism, the market rewards high-productive jobs, elimates low productive jobs (as far as possible) and raises the scarcity of labor, so those CITIZENS who don’t have the mental capacity to do higher order jobs are better paid for their needed and worthy labor.
  In this way the whole income level of the NATION STATE is raised over time - the final be-all and end-all of economics - which has been going on before ‘economics’ was invented.
Of course, the mechanism is untenable if a superabundance of aliens inundates the NATION STATE.

Unfortunately the idea is inconsistent.  Productive labor is a fundamental asset, conveniently overlooked and exploited by work-averse speculators as the situation requires.

“In the 19th century, Europeans fled poverty for a better life abroad. Who are we to deny modern-day migrants the same?”

Australia was a penal colony, nobody “fled” there. Scottish people ended up in Canada because they were burned out of their ancestral homes by rapacious landowners with sheep on their minds. The American West, which the colonial elite took little interest in, was colonised by White slaves who had to choose between re-indenture or fighting Indians in the wilderness. The Irish were invited to America to be used as cannon fodder in the war between the states. Duped, exiled and enslaved becomes flight from poverty? Why are these people so ignorant of history?

From BBC Newsnight blog 4.06.2008

“Polish
Plus, a Conservative MP with a Polish background has accused the BBC of fuelling racist attacks on Polish immigrants. He says that it’s also using Polish immigration as a soft and politically correct way of talking about the overall question of immigration from countries which - unlike Poland - are not predominantly white or Christian.

Does he have a point? We’ll be debating this live.”

Also the Daily Mail ran a piece about it.

“How many times have I banged on that the BBC (media) has thrown all the immigration emphasise on EU immigration.  I have commented several time that this was a deliberate ruse to give the public impression that third world immigration had dried up. (or much reduced)”

The BBC would never, ever! ever! ever! discuss non white immigration in the same vocabulary as they have described Polish immigration.  If your white your sh*t…... B*****ds.

Incidentally, I watched Newsnight last night, it was pathetic, I’m on the right track when I say the view from screen in the corner is is not mirrored in the real outside world and never will.  The BBC are, from now on, climbing a greasy pole, (no pun intended) and it can only get worse.

By never once mentioning race in his spirited new essay up today over at BrusselsJournal.com,

http://www.brusselsjournal.com/node/3322 ,

Fjordman says, in effect, that flooding Europe with inappropriate volumes of Vietnamese, Nigerian, Korean, Mexican, Bolivian, Papua-New-Guinean, Somali, Filipino, Turkish, and Middle-Eastern- and North-African-Arab Christians, flooding it to the point of demographically replacing the Europeans, would be OK.  Just fine. 

Because for it not to be just fine, he must say A but he doesn’t.  And “Who does not say A must not say B” (if one may be permitted to apply the inverse of James Burnham’s useful little rule). 

So, nice piece, but fundamentally FJ gets it not only wrong, he gets it — I’m talking about fundamentally here:  on the most fundamental level — he gets it completely wrong, as in “a miss is as good as a mile” wrong or “one-hundred-and-eighty degrees out of phase” wrong. 

So, is FJ really an ally?

No.  He isn’t.

He isn’t because the most fundamental thing (hint:  the most fundamental thing is NOT the incursion of Islam …) — the most fundamental thing he gets one-hundred-and-eighty degrees wrong, in a way that makes him as much our ally as Alon Ziv.

I’ve realized, as much as I respect Paul Belien, that his blog, BrusselsJournal.com, will never deliver the goods.  (Maybe it wants to but can’t?  Maybe PB is afraid of being shut down and sent to jail if anyone at his blog so much as mentions race?)  It’s like the Republican Party in the U.S. or the Tories in the Mother Country:  they’ll never deliver the goods, either of them. 

Ever.

Fred, I’ve dropped out of “this sort of thing” for various reasons., but I must say that your finger is on the button. Invariably you nail it. Kudos to you Sir! GW is a stalwart, he is putting it on the line and I admire him greatly, but I think that the way ahead for “us” is through some kind of mocking, piss-taking satire, a bit like the VNN of old.  I’m kind of signing off here. George Orwell said that in a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. In a time in which heroism exists only in role playing games, maybe our mild and stubborn rejection of moronic consensus will constitute a debased form of heroism for a debased age. If so one day we may yet meet in Valhalla.

Calvin’s valedictory is very sad.  “Needed” is it.  The next few years are years of danger during which “the reaction” will begin to materialise.  It will be susceptible to steerage to wasteful ends, in the manner than a small error of navigation at the journey’s outset can have a major effect at its end.

As I see it, our struggle is navigational, and among the enemy are those self-described realists and compromisers who will take us elsewhere ... to the “right”, or “against Islamification”, or simply to the easily achievable like the repatriation of illegal immigrants, but no further.  It is now, at the very beginning, that one must clarify ends, and let the ends clarify means.

For that, we do need Calvin, and all those like him who think clearly and can contribute to clarity generally.  The more collective force we can bring to bear to that end today, the more likely our collective contentment later.

The other side (the side favoring race-replacement and nation-destruction) deliberately mislead when they have the chance:  these are not honorable people or believers in democracy, but totalitarians. 

Look what these pro-EU newspaper editors deliberately did, to try to deceive the public:  in reporting the results of the latest Irish public opinion poll showing 35% of Irishmen in favor of rejecting the Lisbon Treaty and 30% against rejecting it, they wrote,

“A referendum on the Lisbon Treaty will be held next week and today’s poll in the Irish Times shows 35% in favor and 30% against.”

[as if a plurality was “in favor of” the treaty instead of in favor of rejecting it, the wording of the poll!]

Norway Muslims Jailed For Genital Mutilation
June 7th, 2008

Norway couple charged for circumcising girls
Reuters - Friday, June 6

OSLO (Reuters) - Police in Norway have arrested a Gambian-born man and charged him and his wife with subjecting five of their six daughters to genital mutilation, officials said on Friday.

The practice, also known as female circumcision, is outlawed in Norway and arouses horror among many people in the West but is a rite of passage for young women in many countries, predominantly in Africa.

The youngest of the five mutilated girls, all born in Norway, is five years old, police officials said. The others are aged seven, 10, 13 and 14 and live in Gambia, national broadcaster NRK reported.

Police officer Hanne Kristin Rohde, head of the violent crime and vice section of the Oslo police, said on Norwegian commercial television TV 2 that the father — a naturalised Norwegian citizen along with his wife — was taken into custody on Friday.

“Norwegian police have charged this couple of Gambian background for breaking the Norwegian law on genital mutilation — five of their six daughters are circumcised,” Rohde said.

The mother is pregnant with a seventh child and was deemed unfit to be held in jail.

Norwegian authorities have been cracking down on the practice since mid-2007, barring families from travelling abroad if they suspect they plan to have the procedure done outside the country.

The charges are based on the discovery by child protection authorities that the couple’s second youngest daughter, age five, was circumcised, Rohde said. Their youngest, age three, has not been subjected to the procedure, NRK said.

The child protection authorities have taken custody of the two youngest girls, Rohde said, adding that the police would now seek to bring the other four back to Norway in cooperation with the parents and Gambian and other Norwegian authorities.

U.N. agencies say an estimated 100 to 140 million women and girls worldwide have undergone genital mutilation, whose proponents say it promotes chastity before marriage and fidelity afterwards by reducing female sexual desire. Around 3 million a year are believed to be subjected to it.

Not only is this a loathsome practice, but the efforts that will have to be made to stamp it out will cause still more limits on the freedoms of the rest of the Norwegians.

Surely in this dialogue the key phrase is ‘highly-skilled’.

No-one doubts, I feel sure, the added value that an experienced foreign-exchange broker arriving from New York, for whose services his employers are paying in the high six or even seven figures, would contribute to the international competitiveness of the City of London. Nor, to be sure, the genetics expert that Glaxo-Wellcome has poached from one of the Swiss pharma-giants, or for that matter, the rationality of Shell bringing over from Western Australia at great expense the chief seismologist responsible for their spectacular offshore success in the Woodside project.

But, unfortunately, that’s not what ‘highly skilled’ means in the current vernacular. What it really refers to is the recently qualified C++ code-jockeys from one of the myriad of Indian diploma mills who Tata Consultancy PLC wishes to place in one of the many IT projects outsourced by the public sector in the UK.

The reality is that Prakash is no more highly skilled than any one of a hundred similarly-qualified recent graduates from Computer Science programmes at UK universities, but rather that he is willing to do the job for half the going rate.

‘The principles of free trade have yet to affect the movement of people to the same extent as the trade in goods and services…’

Here you have an attempt by the NGO to reduce man to a state of merchandise…ie man seen as a nameless and faceless commodity to be traded like any other, in the same manner, as coal, oil, foodstuffs, etc., his ‘price’ (specifically that of his labor in that variant of slavery known euphamistically as ‘cheap labor’, which the vast majority of the ‘migrants’ not being skilled are, despite the propaganda) to be driven as low as possible.    The peoples of the world maintaining their identities would be a serious impediment in this modern trade in human flesh, if not make it impossible altogether, as was indeed discovered in the 19th century when this scheme was first tried in a major way, being implemented initially in a crude and bungling manner, and naturally (and quite rightfully) being met with a good deal of opposition, whether from the desperate peoples in a state of national weakness beings preyed upon as a source of cheap labor, or being the destination people(s) of the said labor.  Hence the funding and promotion since that time of the anti-race campaign (ie ‘anti-racism’), the general supression of peoplehood,  and the development of the ideology/cult of multi-culturalism for people to believe in, in exchange for their collective physical selves, cultures, and lands…interchangeable people requiring interchangeable culture.

Though like probably most people at this site, I would tend to disagree with much of his politics, a rather well known author made a not dissimilar observation in his most famous of books.

George Orwell was of the belief that future wars would be fought primarily over the obtainment of cheap labor, it being seen as the most valued of raw materials in the dystopia he described.

‘All of the disputed territories contain valuable minerals, and some of them yield important vegetable products such as rubber which in colder climates it is necessary to synthesize by comparatively expensive methods. But above all they contain a bottomless reserve of cheap labour.’

George Orwell

Part 2, Chapter 9, 1984

“To understand the nature of the present war—for in spite of the regrouping which occurs every few years, it is always the same war—one must realize in the first place that it is impossible for it to be decisive. None of the three super-states could be definitively conquered even by the other two in combination. They are too evenly matched, and their natural defences are too formidable. Eurasia is protected by its vast land spaces. Oceania by the width of the Atlantic and the Pacific, Eastasia by the fecundity and industriousness of its inhabitants. Secondly, there is no longer, in a material sense, anything to fight about. With the establishment of self-contained economies, in which production and consumption are geared to one another, the scramble for markets which was a main cause of previous wars has come to an end, while the competition for raw materials is no longer a matter of life and death. In any case each of the three super-states is so vast that it can obtain almost all the materials that it needs within its own boundaries. In so far as the war has a direct economic purpose, it is a war for labour power.  Between the frontiers of the super-states, and not permanently in the possession of any of them, there lies a rough quadrilateral with its corners at Tangier, Brazzaville, Darwin, and Hong Kong, containing within it about a fifth of the population of the earth. It is for the possession of these thickly-populated regions, and of the northern ice-cap, that the three powers are constantly struggling. In practice no one power ever controls the whole of the disputed area. Portions of it are constantly changing hands, and it is the chance of seizing this or that fragment by a sudden stroke of treachery that dictates the endless changes of alignment.”

“All of the disputed territories contain valuable minerals, and some of them yield important vegetable products such as rubber which in colder climates it is necessary to synthesize by comparatively expensive methods. But above all they contain a bottomless reserve of cheap labour. Whichever power controls equatorial Africa, or the countries of the Middle East, or Southern India, or the Indonesian Archipelago, disposes also of the bodies of scores or hundreds of millions of ill-paid and hard-working coolies. The inhabitants of these areas, reduced more or less openly to the status of slaves, pass continually from conqueror to conqueror, and are expended like so much coal or oil in the race to turn out more armaments, to capture more territory, to control more labour power, to turn out more armaments, to capture more territory, and so on indefinitely. It should be noted that the fighting never really moves beyond the edges of the disputed areas. The frontiers of Eurasia flow back and forth between the basin of the Congo and the northern shore of the Mediterranean; the islands of the Indian Ocean and the Pacific are constantly being captured and recaptured by Oceania or by Eastasia; in Mongolia the dividing line between Eurasia and Eastasia is never stable; round the Pole all three powers lay claim to enormous territories which in fact are largely unihabited and unexplored: but the balance of power always remains roughly even, and the territory which forms the heartland of each super-state always remains inviolate. Moreover, the labour of the exploited peoples round the Equator is not really necessary to the world’s economy. They add nothing to the wealth of the world, since whatever they produce is used for purposes of war, and the object of waging a war is always to be in a better position in which to wage another war. By their labour the slave populations allow the tempo of continuous warfare to be speeded up. But if they did not exist, the structure of world society, and the process by which it maintains itself, would not be essentially different.”

‘Migrant stock’ in Italy and Scotland

’...While world trade volumes increased by a factor of seven between 1975 and 2005, world migrant stocks increased by about 2.5 per cent.’

For those who might not be aware, the term ‘migrant stock’, utilized here by the NGO in apparent reference primarily to what are known to some as ‘cheap laborers’, and what are known to most simply as people, is the exact term used by industry for animals, as in the examples below.

The UN provides a chart of ‘world migrant stock’ which must be quite handy for the industrialists looking for the nearest supply of cheap laborers for their next project.

The moral error of slavery not truly having been dealt with by those relative few practicing it at most everyone else’s great expense, but rather a sleight of hand taking place in the 19th century which merely exchanged one variant of slavery (chattel) for another (cheap labor), it ought not to be particularly surprising that the NGO and the others described see their fellow man as brute beasts to be preyed upon, just as their slaving forebears did. 

That this is the case ought to be cause for concern for people of goodwill everywhere.

Another very enlightening comment by Alex.

Posted by Alex on Wed, 02 Jul 2008 06:57 | #

That sums it up right there.  Especially the last two words:  by design.  Let no one doubt it’s deliberate, coldly calculated, by an array of forces that explicitly in their minds wish race-replacement on the Eurosphere countries.  What’s going on simply cannot be explained any other way.

Posted by Fred Scrooby on Tuesday, June 3, 2008 at 03:12 AM | #

Very much by design indeed, and ‘coldly calculated’ as well.    It’s one of the few things I’d agree with FDR about, that things don’t just happen ‘by chance’ regarding political matters.    Below is an excerpt from a book published in 1870 in the US by ‘progressives’, yes, the very same sort who about 60 years later would be thinking Stalin and his ‘five year plans’ was the greatest thing since sliced bread.    The first section of the book describes the first ‘one hundred years progress’ of the United States (between 1770 and 1870) examining increasing production figures and values in those years in great detail for a wide variety of products.

Towards the latter portion of the book the writer attempts to describe things as they would be one hundred years in the future, in 1970.  That section of the book is entitled ‘Marvels That Our Grandchildren Will See; or, One Hundred Years Progress in the Future’, and it’s the part of the book the below is from

The future man as described on pg 515.    Perhaps they should have called this “the future economic man.”    Due to the American peoples wishes regarding immigration being respected at certain times, this has not come about in 1970.    It’s not for lack of trying on these peoples’ parts though.    One can’t help but notice the language used on this page (I’ve provided a link to it beneath this excerpt) is the same as would be used were a rancher attempting to breed a new strain of livestock.  It does seem what is described in this excerpt is what they (financial and business elites, and multi-cultists) are trying to do throughout the West in 2008.

‘The Coming Man’

Business Advertisement Promoting Multi-culturalism

“But the future man of the American Republic will be a thoroughly composite being. It is not simply the union of the Mongolian and Caucasian types to which we are to look forward, but an agglomoration of almost all races and nationalities to make up the coming man. The old English of New England, Virginia, and the Carolinas, already blended with Huguenot, Norman French, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, German, French, Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian blood, will receive from the Canadian French on the one side and the Hispano - Americans on the other, an accession of French, Spanish, and Portuguese blood not wholly free from an admixture in all degrees with the Northern Indian, the aztec, and the negro races, and these, with the blending in our own Southern and Southwestern States with the African stock, and the combination in the not distant future of Chinese, Japanese, Hindoo, Malay, and Polynesian, will give to the average American of a hundred years hence, a darker complexion and very different intellectual and moral characteristics from those which we possess today…”

North America is projected to be integrated both economically and politically by 1970. Below is a map from the book with the shaded areas representing the United States in 1870. The areas of North America in white, ie. Canada, Cuba, Greenland, Mexico, Central America, and a great part of the West Indies, are “to be acquired.” While these places in white were not, for the most part, physically annexed by 1970, perhaps at some time between 1870 and 1970 it was realized one could “acquire” just as well economically as one could physically. With the passage of both NAFTA in the 1990’s, and the very recent CAFTA, something of an economic integration/annexation may well be taking place between the US and the remainder of North America at the present time.

When estimating the population, one has to bear in mind the writers expected continuous high levels of immigration (apparently for “cheap labor” purposes) from all points of the globe.    They did not foresee (or perhaps did not want to see) that the American peoples’ wishes regarding immigration would be respected in the latter nineteenth century regarding immigration from Asia…and later in the early 1920’s when more general restrictions were put in place that cut immigration to a mere trickle of what it had been.    They comment that in 1870 the population from China in the US was already 150,000, but that within the next few decades that population would be tens of millions…and then say, almost in passing, and with very little explanation, that the immigration from Asia simply could not be stopped.    Sounds remarkably familiar..and strange…being that only a few short years before the same nation (the US) had repelled entire armies in its Civil War..and also had quite succesfully blockaded a lengthy portion of the Atlantic seaboard and Gulf Coast.    The assertion of these men was ultimately incorrect as a few years after this book’s publication immigration from Asia was stopped for practical purposes.  The writers therefore come up with the number 639,359,152 as the population of the United States for 1970 on pg 467.  In 1970 the population had actually grown from about 40 million in 1870 to a little over 200 million.    Since the Immigration Act of 1965, which threw open the borders once again, and the purposely allowed illegal immigration of the past decades, America’s population has surpassed 300 million by 2008.

New York as projected for 1970

New York City circa 1966

“Long before that period, the great money center of the world, which even now shows symptoms of the coming change, will be transferred from London to New York, and where that center is, thither the world’s traffic will come.    But aside from its importance as the great money and exchange center of the world, the improvements now projected or in progress will make New York the greatest maritime port on the globe.    With a land locked bay of sufficient capacity and depth to permit the entire commercial marine of Christendom to ride at anchor in safety;    with the broad and noble Hudson washing its western shore, and the strait known as the East River pouring the waters of Long Island Sound into the bay; and both rivers spanned by lofty suspension bridges at various points, and capricious tubular railways crossing both rivers by a newly contrived tunnel;  with the difficulties of navigation at Hurlgate all surmounted, and a channel deep enough for the largest ships, enabling the city to make Long Island Sound another bay;    with a ship canal 350 feet wide and 60 feet deep, connecting Newtown Creek with the beautiful Canarsie Bay, and thus giving full sixty miles of wharves and piers, accessible at all times, and all its suburbs as well as all parts of the city itself connected by swift railways in arcades, in tunnels, elevated upon iron pillars along its streets, or running in a belt outside the piers and above the height of the vessels which throng the wharves;    with its costly and beautiful warehouses, churches, banks, public institutions and residences, it will be the grandest city the world has ever seen, and worth a journey round the globe to see.

By 1970…

Tens of millions of Chinese in North America as cheap laborers to be overcome after lengthy struggle (pg 514-515)

“The Chinese will come to us, mainly, like some of the European immigrants, as candidates for filling our more menial positions;  they will be house servants, washermen, railroad laborers, miners, laborers in the fields, etc, etc.    They have not so generally emigrated to other countries in these humbler capacities;    but in Batavia, in Cochin China, in Manchuria, and in Chinese Tartary or Sungaria, wherever and in whatever capacity they have entered a country, they have ere long obtained the ascendancy, compelling the adoption of their language, their habits and customs, and attaining to leading positions in business and influence.    It is questionable they can do so among us.    The Western intellect is more vigorous and controlling than the Oriental, and in the end, after perhaps a hundred years of attrition and quiet struggle for the supremacy, the highest Caucasion type of manhood may assert and maintain its superiority over the Mongolian.

Hispanic revolt to be put down in “short, sharp, and decisive” contest (pg 472)

“If again, the Hispano-American races, (the Mexicans, Central American, Cubans, etc.) of whom there seems a probability that the greater part will be annexed during the coming twenty-five or fifty years, with their old proclivity for revolutions and pronunciamentos, should feel themselves agrieved and lift the standard of revolt, there would follow a civil war, which would be “short, sharp, and decisive,” but would be likely forever to prevent any further aspirations in that direction.”

Oligarchy of wealth and political power in the great cities cause for concern. (pg 472)

“A more reasonable cause of concern in regard to the stability of our present form of government, may be found in the tendencies to an oligarchy of wealth and political power in our great cities and the fearful corruption of the ballot, which even now exist.”
