No view of third-world reality, however starkly presented, is sufficient to warn White westerners of the civilizational threat posed by their own fatuous, pathetically naive views of, um, culture. For the foreseeable future it's thus still Open House in all Western countries.
Consider the post-independence Democratic Republic of the Congo:
Le Blanc earns his keep sailing the tributaries of the Congo River. He's 40 years old, and his real name is Malu-Ebonga Charles — he got his nickname, and his green eyes and dark honey skin, from a German grandfather who married a Congolese woman in what was then the Belgian Congo. If Le Blanc's unconventional genealogy gave him a unique view of the Congo’s colonial past, it is his job on the river, piloting three dugouts lashed together with twine and mounted with outboards, that has informed his opinion of the Democratic Republic of Congo’s present. “The river is the artery of Congo’s economy,” he says. “When the Belgians and the Portuguese were here, there were farms and plantations — cashews, peanuts, rubber, palm oil. There was industry and factories employing 3,000 people, 5,000 people. But since independence, no Congolese has succeeded. The plantations are abandoned.” Using a French expression literally translated as “on the ground,” he adds: “Everything is par terre.”In short, complete and utter failure to take the hand off from a European nation and run with it. Utterly useless.It’s true that our journey through 643 kilometers of rainforest to where the Maringa River joins the Congo at Mbandaka, has been an exploration of decline. An abandoned tugboat here; there, a beached paddle steamer stripped of its metal sides to a rusted skeleton; several abandoned palm oil factories, their roofs caved in, their walls disappearing into the engulfing forest, their giant storage tanks empty and rusted out. The palms now grow wild and untended on the riverbanks and in the villages we pass, the people dress in rags, hawk smoked blackfish and bushmeat, and besiege us with requests for salt or soap. There are no schools here, no clinics, no electricity, no roads.

Le Blanc isn't much concerned with that history [of Belgian rule]; he lives in the present, in a country where education is a luxury and death is everywhere. Around 45,000 people die each month in the DRC as a result of the social collapse brought on by civil war, according to a study released in January by the International Rescue Committee. It estimated the total loss of life between 1998 and April 2007 at 5.4 million. For many Congolese like Le Blanc, the difficulties of today blot out the cruelties of the past. "On this river, all that you see — the buildings, the boats — only whites did that. After the whites left, the Congolese did not work. We did not know how to. For the past 50 years, we've just declined." He pauses. "They took this country by force," he says, with more than a touch of admiration. "If they came back, this time we'd give them the country for free."[1]
Another useful comparison between civilizations: In the U.S., 3,446 blacks were lynched by whites over 86 years. That's a yearly average of 40 lynchings. In the perfidious U.S., that is. In the 9-1/4 years in which 5.4 million Congolese were killed by other (black) Congolese, extra-judicial killings took place at a rate of 583,784 per year. Which nation, judged by a commonsense, unhysterical, honest standard comes out as civilized? Or are they equal?[2]

Many years ago, people came to America for the freedom and prosperity that it offered. They had to work hard and learn the language of the land.
ReplyDeleteStarting in late December 1913, this all changed. Over the following years, up to today, America changed into a progressive welfare state. No longer were people emigrating for freedom and prosperity, but for the free handouts.
I think you are incorrectly placing blame. For the first 120ish years, America with its many different cultures coming together to make the proverbial melting pot, was in and of itself, the American Culture to which many throughout the world flocked. With the institution of the Federal Reserve Act and the 16th Amendment, the bankers and corrupt politicians have, for the past 100 years, stripped America of its culture - that which was pursuit of Life, Liberty, and Property, by the hands and efforts of one's self, regardless of from where they previously called home.
The insidiousness that is banker control, unfair taxation, and power politics is what allows emigrants, white or something else, to "feed off, and take over" as you put it. The problems of the DRC are simply not comparable to the degradation of the US, not even when you look at the "why"behind each country's demise.
The issue is not color, or foreign culture, but progressive government and banker control. Nothing more, nothing less.
They are what they are:FOREIGN INVADERS, and should be dealt with accordingly.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard any so called "anti-racist" say that the DRC is a failed state because there are too many blacks and that there is not enough "diversity". I've never heard any so called "anti-racist" say that the DRC needs to allow massive numbers of non-blacks to immigrate and then give them special rights, privileges and affirmative action.
ReplyDeleteNo, I've only heard so called "anti-racists" say this about ALL White countries and ONLY White countries. Obviously, the so called "anti-racists" are just vicious anti-Whites. Further, it's quite obvious to intelligent people that "diversity" is just a code word for White genocide.
D-bog, you twist yourself into a pretzel trying to avoid the obvious. The immigrants that created the "melting pot" pre-1913 were English, Scottish, Italian, Jewish and German. All first world, literate countries. Even then, the influx of Germans (the largest immigrant group from 1830-1890), who settled across the upper Midwest and the North, led to a culture clash that we call the War Between the States, or the Civil War for you PC types.
ReplyDeleteThe fed reserve is a terrible thing, but it is the third national bank in US history. Its only a symptom of the larger problem.
The Congo, and the rest of Africa, suck because, like The Woodsman says, not enough diversity. Sub Saharan African never invented the wheel or built anything, its no surprise that they don't do well in a first world country. The same could be said of most American Indians.
Our government and businesses want to bring in millions of low skilled, largely unemployable immigrants to secure their places at the top of the "socio-economic" pile. We will be too busy scrapping for basic resources with tribal oriented foreigners to create anything that would challenge the ruling class' dominance.
Our greatest strength is our greatest weakness, being less tribal than most other peoples allows cooperation with outsiders for mutual benefit, but when the outsiders are inside and given equal access to power, their tribal instincts give them out sized influence. Life is competition and they play as a team while we play as individuals.
Apologies for the choppy writing, I'm too distracted right now to do any better.
Colonel, I always enjoy your posts and this time you hit one out of the park. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteColonialism is immigration that the self-congratulatory ones dislike. Speaking as someone who is not only pro-open-borders but even regards "Yankee go home" as illegitimate as "Mexicans go home," I'm firmly in favor of colonialism.
ReplyDelete"I've never heard any so called 'anti-racist' say that the DRC is a failed state because there are too many blacks and that there is not enough 'diversity'."
ReplyDeleteI'm anti-racist and I'll say it now: The DRC is a failed state because there are not enough whites (and other races) and that there is not enough "diversity".
