Mass Immigration Eats Through The Melting Pot By Sam Francis With mass immigration shredding what Harvard scholar Samuel Huntington http://www.vdare.com/francis/the_clash.htm calls the "Anglo Protestant core" http://www.foreignpolicy.com/story/cms.php?story_id=2495&print=1%5D of American civilization, the Open Borders lobby http://www.vdare.com/francis/culture_of_poverty.htm remains delighted with the benefits the shredding brings.

Mr. Karnow lives in a posh Washington suburb at which those who worry that "immigration threatens to blemish the nation's 'purity'" are invited to look. It used to be what he calls a "dreary lily-white stretch of farms, stables and split level houses." Now, it's a "multicultural, multicolored, multilingual enclave" that is dreary-and white-no more.

Racially diverse it may be, though probably not quite as diverse http://www.city-data.com/city/Potomac-Maryland.html as Mr. Karnow would have us believe or as he seems to believe himself.

Mass Immigration Eats Through The Melting Pot By Sam Francis

With mass immigration shredding what Harvard scholar Samuel Huntington calls the "Anglo Protestant core" of American civilization, the Open Borders lobby remains delighted with the benefits the shredding brings.

Last week, just as news of Professor Huntington's magisterial article was about to break, historian Stanley Karnow warbled excitedly about the shredding in the Los Angeles Times.

Mr. Karnow lives in a posh Washington suburb at which those who worry that "immigration threatens to blemish the nation's 'purity'" are invited to look.

"The more diverse American society is the safer Jews are..." :nerd: :clown: :afro:

And the less American America is. Thanks, Tribe.

Sam has always known the score--but he loves the Old Republic too much to garb up in polyester SS drag.

Agreed. However, naming the Jew is a great American tradition...one needn't fall back on outmoded, authoritarian ideologies to do so.

I love the Old Republic also, this is why I am a dissenter...I use a German SS man as my avatar because I am German by blood, and the SS understood the proper solution to the Jewish question, nothing more.

I'm sincerely impressed. Not only does Francis name the Jew here, he does so with great frankness and cogency. His provision of direct quotes from Jews themselves -- particularly that essential gem from Glickman -- hardens his position against angry rebuttal, since any vehement attacks on this column will naturally call attention to the evidence it contains. This is truly a fine job.

I'd do anything to live in a "dreary, lily-white, Anglo neighborhood"....actually, I'd do anything to live in a "dreary, lily-White Anglo [I]Country[/I]". Excellent writing by Sam Francis. Start spreadin' the news.....

What do the Jews fear? They fear God-fearing-white-Protestant people. God is our armor, and we are His battle-axes.

I would only add that in this advanced stage of decay, let us not forget our brothers-in-arms in the traditional Catholic and Orthodox camps. It's time to rally around the Cross and advance.

At some point in the usurping of power in America the Jews will want everyone to know who sponsored it. Otherwise they won't be able to cash the debt in. Part of the idea is that the Jews will give the world Europe and American in exchange for Israel and a free hand in the mideast. Imagine what is said in private between Jew and Arab: [I]Here we give you France, and all we want in return is the West Bank and Gaza![/I]

I just sent VDARE a little money.

I made a promise here a while back that every time VDARE will name the Tribe, I'll send VDARE $100. This is the third time I've done it, and if Peter Brimelow reads this please know that I'm good for a few more throws (I challenge you to make it so expensive I'll have to re-negotiate the rate!).

I agree with Tex that we need now to rally around the cross. We're all clear now as to what we're about and what we want.

Lead on, my Protestant brothers. This Papist is right behind you.

How true. Great post. It's their bloodlust, their wish to see whites KO'd completely, coupled with their innate arrogance and inability to see when they are over-reaching. This is what will get them in the end. Oh, they'll try and be on whitey's side when the collapse hits, but it will be too late. The cracks in the armor are everywhere, whether it's the judio-hating mestizos coming in from May-hee-co, to Mel doing his bit with "The Passion" and on to Sam Francis sensing that it is now time to begin slashing the curtain that hides the men at the control panels. Mr. Brimelow has been taking steps as well. Like I mentioned before, in some private correspondence I had a few years ago with him, Mr. Brimelow made it clear in a roundabout way that he knows the score - I knew he would come around. Small steps, small steps.

Down the line, Jared Taylor will probably (at least I am fairly sure) toss aside his zhids "... are white," b.s. and drop a few bombs also. It will happen, and things will eventually be cleaned up. Getting rid of 30 million mestizos (not to mention other undesirables) is not an impossibility, whether it's marching them back to Mayheeco or forcing them onto one way jet-liners or rickety boats - ** or whatever has to be done when the majority of whites are forced to realize it's us against them**. Not impossible at all. Look at the millions the zhidlings moved all over the USSR to create chaos, to have different ethnic groups at each other's throats to keep the attention off Hymie's antics. All these folks came here - they can leave, and take their children with them. That includes adult, "citizen" children. Yeah, laugh. It could happen. It probably will, because things are going to get very bad, to force things to get better.
