-Caveat Lector-
the nation state was no great deal in the 1st place
--
"We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant
facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies and competitive values. For
a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and
falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its
people."
President John F. Kennedy

> The end of sovereignty?
>
> Tyranny is coming to Europe in the form of a new multicultural empire.
> Ancient sovereign states, such as England and France, and newer ones, such as
> Germany and Italy, are to cease to exist, and to be folded into a European
> superstate. National existence is targeted for extinction by about 2006,
> followed by national consciousness. Preparing the British for their demise as
> a people, Foreign Secretary Jack Straw wrote in The Independent on Nov. 22
> that "in a world where states and the interests of their citizens are so
> obviously interdependent, we need to rethink our attitudes to concepts like
> 'independence' and 'sovereignty'."
>
> Prime Minister Tony Blair agrees. The war against terrorism, he says, has
> made national sovereignty out-of-date.
>
> If you think these are weak arguments for giving up the nation-state, you
> have a point. The basis for successful political life is a common language,
> history and culture, which create "a people" sufficiently cohesive for
> democracy or self-rule to arrive at compromises that reconcile conflicts.
>
> When multicultural diversity replaces "a people," cohesion must be provided
> by coercion.
>
> Coercion is the response to the massive Third World immigration into European
> nation-states. The erosion of "a people" by diversity has evoked tyrannical
> laws in an effort to coerce an artificial commonality.
>
> Great Britain, for example, no longer consists of its indigenous peoples:
> English, Scots and Welsh. Britons are having to make room for large numbers
> of Africans, Indians, Arabs and Pakistanis. Shear numbers and victim-group
> status impede assimilation, which, in turn, both impedes the immigrants'
> progress and fosters resentment by diluting British culture.
>
> The consequence of non-assimilation is racial inequality. The Labor Party has
> responded by blaming "racism." On Dec. 6, the government implemented
> draconian "race equality" laws. Public, private and voluntary organizations
> are under statutory obligation, policed by the Commission for Racial
> Equality, to produce racial equality in employment, college admissions,
> school performance, disciplinary proceedings, pay, benefits, facilities -- in
> short, a thoroughgoing quota system.
>
> Gurbux Singh, chairman of the Commission for Racial Equality, called the
> legislation "a powerful lever for change." In effect, British culture has
> been declared unfair, because immigrants who do not assimilate are
> disadvantaged.
>
> Europe is as overrun with Third World immigrants as Britain. Some German
> Social Democrats favor immigration as a way of diluting the German
> population, thereby diminishing "the worst characteristics of the nation" --
> in other words, as a way of de-Germanizing Germany. Proposals are afoot to
> give the same state subsidies to Islamic cultural organizations as German
> ones receive.
>
> Dilution of national cultures by immigration is the basis for the European
> Union. A weakened sense of nationhood in Britain, France and Germany means no
> effective opposition to bureaucratic rule by the European Commission in
> Brussels.
>
> In order to criminalize national patriotism and opposition to immigration,
> the European Union is pushing forward legislation that makes xenophobia and
> racism crimes. Once this legislation passes, a European who, for example,
> criticizes immigration as an anti-diversity measure that is wiping European
> civilization off the face of the earth, can be found guilty of racism and
> sentenced to two years in prison.
>
> Similarly, persons who oppose EU measures as contrary to British values or
> French culture can be imprisoned for xenophobia.
>
> Hand-in-hand with the criminalization of national identity goes the European
> arrest warrant. Once in effect, an Englishman could be extradited to Greece
> and put on trial for offenses that are not crimes in England.
>
> No finer recipe for oppression could be devised. The oppression will be felt
> most keenly by the British, for it is the liberties protected by their unique
> legal system that will be lost. Oppression leads to civil war, not European
> unity.
>
> The United States, of course, is on the same path. In fact, it began here
> with coerced racial integration by judicial decree, a "civil rights act" that
> destroyed freedom of conscience and substituted coercion for persuasion, and
> unconstitutional racial quotas that destroyed equality in law.
>
> In the United States, Europe, Canada and Australia, white governments are
> responding to the postwar propaganda about "racist white hegemonic culture"
> by disadvantaging the white populations and diluting the "hegemonic culture."
> In the United States, the melting pot has been evicted by the slogan,
> "Assimilation is racism."
>
> If the melting pot is dismissed as racist, it must also be racist to question
> immigration. In the United States, only one side of the immigration debate is
> permitted -- the side that calls for more immigrants. In Europe, there will
> soon be no debate at all.
>
> As the United States and European governments are committed to national and
> cultural suicide, what is the point of defense budgets? Shouldn't the money
> be used instead for payments to make amends for having once had a hegemonic
> national identity?
