Re: Steve Sailer’s Column:
The Last Of The Nice WASP Progressives: Otis
Graham And The War For Patriotic Immigration Reform
I commend
Steve Sailer
for yet another on-target laser beam concerning
America’s death-by-immigration and the bipartisan roots
of this self-made disaster.
An
irreversible disaster too, for this is the
one lunacy
that can never be expiated—except through untold misery,
nation breakup, violence, and not infrequently, civil
war.
One of
Sailer’s most important contributions is to highlight
the prominent role that
American Jews
have had in this dissolution.
It’s a brave
thing for Steve to do, for it exposes him not merely to
a barrage of
“nativism”
and
“racism”
projectiles but also to the concussions of
“anti-Semitic hate”
grenades lobbed from the well-fortified trenches of the
Treason Lobby.
I have
quarreled with anti-Semites publicly, including
attacking
a
VDARE.COM article by Kevin
MacDonald
because of two systemic fallacies in the congenital
Jew-hater’s mind.
One is the
attribution of conspiracy and ulterior motives where
there are none, and the other is listing all the harm
that Jews have inflicted and still inflict on
white Christian
(or ex-Christian) society, but ignoring the blessings.
The blessings
are many. Indeed, they are beyond measure. We need not
go back to the role of the
Bible
and the Jewish founders of Christianity, or even to
early American figures like
Haym Solomon and Uriah
Phillips Levy
to understand that; the last 100 years suffice.
American
science, technology, medicine, infomatics,
entrepreneurship, high brow and low brow music,
literature, film, theater—all these and more bear an
outsize Jewish contribution that is shockingly
out-of-proportion to the Jews’ share of the population.
Jews have
received the Nobel Prize 169 times, not counting the
ludicrous Peace Prize.
As
David
Goldman, writing as
“Spengler,”
has pointed out, this amounts to one Nobel Prize for
every 89,000 Jews alive today, versus, to take one
example, the incidence of Muslim Nobel Prize laureates
being one for every 450 million
Muslims alive today.
It would be
impossible to list here the names of just the important
Jewish American contributors in all the above and other
fields, for it would be book-length. Dozens of such
books have already been written. More accessibly, there
are websites such as
these.
But this is
about
immigration.
And the issue is to grasp the severity of the wound that
America has inflicted on itself through its immigration
policy
since 1965
and the role that American Jews have played in this.
Moreover, one
has to add to this civil rights legislation and the
dysfunctional minoritarian tyranny that has resulted
from it, for this has been driven by the same misguided
moral impulse, with the same Jewish vanguard, and has
brought with it the same guaranteed slide to mediocrity,
chaos, impoverishment and
dystopia
that must end in disaster.
Even
courageous
Sailer
cannot write candidly about this because America does
not bear
Cassandras.
This is the one area where it would take a
Jeremiah
to describe the future foretold.
I have tried
looking through that particular
camera
obscura
in print myself but had to back off because the
resulting image belonged with Daniel and Zephaniah, or,
if one prefers the plastic arts, Goya or Breughel.
But as a
half-blood Jew and son of
Holocaust survivors,
American immigrant, and now a displaced refugee from the
political/ economic madness, I have a simile to offer
that can perhaps indicate how I and people who think
like me see this.
If you put on
one scale the enormous contributions to America that all
the earlier generations of Jews have made between 1650
and 1950, and on another scale the catastrophic damage
that the last two generations of Jews have wrought
through their disproportionate contribution to
destructive liberal causes,
above all
immigration,
the scales are at best even.
