American Suicide……………..Very sobering —– According to
Snopes, this is a true statement.

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 histories
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 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 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 precept. 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 ‘xenophobe’ halt discussion
and debate. Having made America a bilingual/bicultural country, having
established multi-culture, 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
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 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 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.
