Harris N. Miller President Information Technology Association of America (ITAA) [IMG]http://forums.originaldissent.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=56&stc=1[/IMG]
This man absolutely has to be a Jew?
He is one of the more interesting links that I have found that explains what moves the global IT industry at its frenzied pace, in which the transfer of work to low wage countries and the influx of workers to high wage countries is not simply the [I]nature of things[/I]; it requires zealous, driven and rootless souls like Miller. For him, the US is simply a chunk of global production and consumption, where the people, the culture and anything resembling an identity and way of life must yield and give way to the demands of the system that he and his kind have designed.
What is most interesting about this ambitious man is that, although now the current head honcho IT networking in the US and the world, he started his career focused exclusively on [I]immigration[/I] issues. Now he has morphed into the high priest of IT, because this is the arena where his real interest can now be best served ââ¬âto bring down the barriers between peoples and cultures and fuse mankind into one amorphous stream of pliable, rootless creatures. Of course, as Kevin Macdonald has powerfully demonstrated, this will not be the fate of the Jews themselves, who are continually reasserting their identity as a people apart, and increasingly above the rest of the human swarm.
A few remarks by Miller:
In a speech given to IT company reps in Bangalore, India:
As many of you know, long before becoming President of ITAA in 1995, I worked in the area of business immigration. I served for four years in the United States House of Representatives on the immigration Subcommittee, and spent ten years representing various US business interests to promote a more generous immigration policy. ITAA and I have been in the forefront of advocating the freer movement of skilled personnel around the world, including advocating a major increase in the so-called H-1 B cap, which currently allows 195,000 temporary skilled foreign workers to come to the US annually. In recent years, approximately 60 per cent of H-1 B's have gone to IT workers, and among that 60 per cent, the highest percentage come from India.
During an interview with India's business press:
[B]What is your role in the US?[/B]
The role of IT in the US is to stop bad things from happening. We want to stop governments from imposing restrictions on work going offshore, stop there being additional restrictions on immigration.
[B]What is your agenda in explaining to the US public that offshoring is good for you?[/B]
First, I donââ¬â¢t argue it is good for people. I argue it is the nature of global competition.
Here is Millerââ¬â¢s CV and bio, with a few highlights in italics by me:

I agree NN. The parts of his resume dealing with Tech business globalization are well known, but the way they tie into his multiculturalist initiatives and memberships and activities and high political profile in the Democratic Party as well as his membership in the National Conference of Christians and Jews, shows, at the very least he's the type of philosemite who frequents the nations elite in general, and in all probability is in fact a Jew. If he isn't a Jew, its overwhelmingly probable that he works closely with a number of them in drawing up his program.
Usually most globalist/immigration advocates turn out to have jewish ties. The big Cato Institute pro-immigration people like Stephen Moore, who influenced Abraham, Armey, and Bush in formulating their open border agenda's, was of course a protege of Julian Simon.
