Three years ago:
In the 18th floor of the downtown skyscraper where my law office is, I look down into the central square of a major city in the Pacific Northwest. I see a sea of white, as the word has been passed to show up to the demonstration in plain white t-shirts. During the day, the downtown is a sea of European-Americans—businessmen, technicians, retail and restaurant owners, city and county government workers, attorneys, accountants, insurance executives. At night, things change, but the day is bright, downtown relatively safe and everyone is used to both how things work and how things look and feel.
Which is what made today so odd. Which goes a long way to explaining the nervous “can you believe this?” laugher from my high-flying Alpha-dog law colleagues, the slightly scared wide-eyed stares out the window of the solidly middle-class White secretaries. At first, they began to arrive in drips and drabs, but now they were arriving in mass. What began as a small cluster was now a gigantic throng of white-shirted latinos, all shouting and chanting against a modest proposal then before the House that would have restored some small semblance of sanity to what the elites call “immigration policy.”
Some arrived by light rail. Others in cars, packed with seven or eight each. Some simply appeared.
Questions began to be asked: Did you know this was happening today? Did you hear about this going down before today? These questions are being asked by people who are so well connected into the political and social structure of this city that they usually are the first to know what is happening, what has been planned, what shall occur.
The crowd begins to chant, in Spanish. There are thousands of them. Having learned their lesson from a few weeks earlier in Los Angeles, local latino leaders have giant cardboard boxes from which they are distributing U.S. flags.
The boxes are marked “Made in China.”
Yesterday:
It’s going to be a hot day in Washington, D.C., but it’s not quite hot yet. Instead, the sky is a shimmering blue and the shade under the trees in the Mall is cooled by a lingering morning breeze. In front of us, looking slightly unreal, like a too-perfect movie backdrop, is the Capitol.
In front of me a crowd of latinos, university students and government union workers are gathering. At each side, a SEIU-manned station is passing out anti-Arizona signs and medium-sized U.S. flags from large cardboard boxes.
While there are some European-Americans mixed in the crowd—including one young woman with proud Nordic features holding the hand of a latino a foot and a half shorter than her whose t-shirt read “Brown is Beautiful”—the vast majority of the crowd is latino.
They’ve arrived and they know what side they’re on. As with three years ago, the means of their organization was completely invisible to the local European-Americans, still laboring under the fatal and dangerous delusion that the cities in question are still, despite their own rhetoric, their cities.
The enemy has an alternative media, an alternative radio. They have a news system of incredible sophistication and one which openly approaches U.S. news from an explicitly racial and ethnic angle. If you can speak Spanish at all, I invite you to compare NBC’s evening news broadcast with its sister station Univision. While NBC focuses on liver spots, Depends and the need for colon cancer screening, the news on Univision is focused on news: what is happening and what does it mean to us, to latinos, as latinos.
They can assemble a mass via radio. They can, and do, lobby Congress and each state legislature effectively. While our people are deciding which iPhone app to buy, a new people is organizing from the most basic level to the highest.
We are outclassed, outgunned and simply out of our league.
Arizona is a sign of possibility, nothing more. Until and unless we begin to organize, together, and most importantly drop the majority mind-set that we have time, that we have time to “wake up” our people, we will find ourselves lost.
You went to the protest?
I checked the Reform Immigration for America website. There wasn’t one protest in Alabama. The only event in Virginia was a staging area in Alexandria for the DC event.
The hispanic leadership in this country is remarkably stupid. The best thing they could have done for their cause would have been to lay low, maybe make a muted, sad statement or two, and let white liberals lash Arizona with invective for being “Nazis.” Instead, they decided to take to the streets in mass hate-marches, thereby providing an object demonstration of the threat they pose, and of why every normal white American should get behind efforts to keep them out.
If I was writing the script myself, I’d have had them do pretty much exactly what they did (maybe with a few more burning cars).
Now, today, we’re hearing that (dark-hued) muslims may have planted a car bomb in Times Square, because Mohammed was mentioned on South Park. Another ball-peen hammer to the forehead of any white Americans who don’t yet see the dangers of diversity.
Having masses of low-I.Q. people with poor impulse control as our enemies certainly has advantages.
You mean, another predictable government plot to try to get us to fight Israel’s wars for them. Sounds exactly like this fake “terrorist” plot not long ago:
http://www.villagevoice.com/2009-07-08/news/the-alarming-record-of-the-f-b-i-s-informant-in-the-bronx-bomb-plot/
It’s almost funny how often you can pull of the burka and find a yarmulke underneath.
Hunter –
No, I didn’t go to the protest. By chance, I was in the neighborhood and decided to take a half an hour and observe from a discreet distance. Had I known what was going on, I would have been ready to file a much more in-depth report, with photos.
The thing I find most interesting about this movement is the SEIU, which is extremely powerful. As a low-skill union, classic economic and labor theory would predict the SEIU would be strongly anti-open borders, as each low skilled latino peasant depresses SEIU member wages and enriches the owners and management SEIU must deal with.
That they are acting in the exact opposite way demonstrates the agenda. Not that SEIU hides this, of course. It’s all way out in the open.
I wonder how all my old friends at SEIU local 234 feel about all this.
SEIU broke away from the AFL-CIO not long ago specifically over this sort of issue. SEIU, run by Andy Stern – a Harvard educated Jew who has probably never broken a sweat outside of bed – has decided to focus on “the community strategy” meaning, no longer will SEIU concentrate on labor issues, now it’s all about legalizing illegals and open borders and agitating for welfare.
Please notice also that SEIU has taken the lead in attacking Bank of America – the very non-Jewish bank based in North Carolina – as the boogey man of the bankster bailouts, while pretty much ignoring Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan Chase, core concentrations of Jewish power.
SEIU is no longer a labor union, it’s now a Jewish ethnic/racial lobby.
Whoops – typo. That’s local 334.
Univision = Jew-owned.
Bank of America – I’ve read on various sites is a Rothschild controlling-share bank. I believe it. No way it’s not a Jew bank.
hcl:
I agree, a few years back, B of A was trying to give credit cards to illegals. That has Jew written all over it.
Comparatively speaking, BofA headquartered in North Carolina is not as hooked up with the Jewish financial establishment in New York, like Goldman and Morgan. I’m not saying there are no Jewish people that work there, or even have high positions. I’m just saying it’s probably more non-Jewish than the NY banks.
And clearly, Ken Lewis does not have the political sway of Jamie Dimon or even Lloyd Blankfein.
The SEIU was a janitor & elevator operators union. The SEIU generally protected a lot of small time bookies/numbers writers who worked in large office buildings as janitors or elevator operators.
These petty rackets are why the Jews, and the Irish Roman Catholics got involved in the SEIU. It was mostly a Negro union in which the officers were Jews or Irish Roman Catholics “representing” Negroes.
The SEIU has a Roman Catholic faction. John Sweeney former leader of the SEIU, and the AFL-CIO is an example, so was his Father.
@ 11 Veni etc.
Ken Lewis was one of the main dickheads who came up with the idea of making mortage loans, and, other loans & services to illegal aliens!
Lewis was working hand & glove with his jewboy buddies at Goldman & AIG etc.
The SOB deserves anything and everything he gets.
I saw Jay Leno at Correspondent Dinner his best line was; “That was my favorite story (this year) Republicans and a Lesbian bondage club. It’s ironic, Republicans don’t want lesbian getting married but they do like watching them “tie the knot”. So I thought that was interesting.”
You can say the same about Tea Party, they say they respect the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence but they do not mind passing laws, through weak Governors who only care about getting reelected on the backs of undocumented workers, that will not pass Constitution muster, just like Arizona’s House Bill 2779 from two years ago, keep passing them Arizona and the rest of us will continue to challenged them and you will fail in a court of law (and yes we will boycott you). Their phony patriotism is sickening, they are just racists going by another name. We all know you are just itching to put a sheet on their head? Let’s face it the Republicans had eight years to deal with health care, immigration, climate change and financial oversight and governance and they failed. It appears that the Republican Party is only good at starting wars (two in eight years, with fat contracts to friends of Cheney/Bush) but not at winning wars as seen by the continuing line of body bags that keep coming home. The Republicans party will continue turned inward to their old fashion obstructionist party (and their Confederacy appreciation roots) because they continue to allow a small portions (but very loud portion) of their party of “birthers, baggers and blowhards” to rule their party. I will admit that this fringe is very good at playing “Follow the Leader” by listening to their dullard leaders, Beck, Hedgecock, Hannity, O’Reilly, Rush, Savage, Sarah Bailin, Orly Taitz, Victoria Jackson, Michele Bachmann and the rest of the Blowhards and acting as ill programmed robots (they have already acted against doctors that perform abortions). The Birthers and the Tea party crowd think they can scare, intimidate and force others to go along with them by comments like “This time we came unarmed”, let me tell you something not all ex-military join the fringe militia crazies who don’t pay taxes and run around with face paint in the parks playing commando, the majority are mature and understand that the world is more complicated and grey than the black and white that these simpleton make it out to be and that my friend is the point. The world is complicated and people like Hamilton, Lincoln, and Roosevelt believed that we should use government a little to increase social mobility, now it’s about dancing around the claim of government is the problem. The sainted Reagan passed the biggest tax increase in American history and as a result federal employment increased, but facts are lost when mired in mysticism and superstition. For a party that gave us Abraham Lincoln, it is tragic that the ranks are filled with too many empty suits and the crazy Birthers who have not learned that the way our courts work is that you get a competent lawyer, verifiable facts and present them to a judge, if the facts are real and not half baked internet lies, then, and only then, do you proceed to trial. The Birthers seem to be having a problem with their so called “facts”. Let’s face it no one will take the Birthers seriously until they win a case, but until then, you will continue to appear dumb, crazy or racist, or maybe all three. I heard that Orly Taitz now wants to investigate the “Republican 2009 Summer of Love” list: Assemblyman, Michael D. Duvall (CA), Senator John Ensign (NV), Senator Paul Stanley (TN), Governor Mark Stanford (SC), Board of Ed Chair, and Kristin Maguire AKA Bridget Keeney (SC), she wants to re-establish a family values party, that’s like saying that the Catholic Church cares about the welling being of children in their care, too late for that.
Montana: “Their phony patriotism is sickening, they are just racists going by another name.”
You mean like your liberal democrat jew zionists who want to replace White people with foreigners?
You are from lily White Paradise Montana, and you dare to cry “racist” at people who do NOT live in lily White Paradise Montana?
“yes we will boycott you”
LOL go right ahead. We do not need you.
“Beck, Hedgecock, Hannity, O’Reilly, Rush, Savage, Sarah Bailin, Orly Taitz, Victoria Jackson, Michele Bachmann and the rest of the Blowhards”
All jokes, just like your anarcho-bullshit-artists and Al Franken.
Only people worse than contards and FOXtards are libtards and MSNBCtards.

I’m not a ‘birther’ per se, but the problem is that they are not even being allowed to do as you suggest. The courts have been ruling that ordinary voters do not have ‘standing’ to challenge the eligibility of candidates.

Being the cynical sort, I’d wager good money that “Montana” is a CA refugee who sold its overvalued house to an illegal, moved to Kalispell to get away from the Mexifornians, and is proceeding as per schedule to turn Montana into what it fled.
I hope that every American, regardless of where he lives, will stop and examine his conscience about this and other related incidents. This Nation was founded by men of many nations and backgrounds. It was founded on the principle that all men are created equal, and that the rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened. All of us ought to have the right to be treated as he would wish to be treated, as one would wish his children to be treated, but this is not the case.
I know the proponents of this law say that the majority approves of this law, but the majority is not always right. Would women or non-whites have the vote if we listen to the majority of the day, would the non-whites have equal rights (and equal access to churches, restaurants, hotels, retail stores, schools, colleges and yes water fountains) if we listen to the majority of the day? We all know the answer, a resounding, NO!
Today we are committed to a worldwide struggle to promote and protect the rights of all who wish to be free. In a time of domestic crisis men of good will and generosity should be able to unite regardless of party or politics and do what is right, not what is just popular with the majority. Some men comprehend discrimination by never have experiencing it in their lives, but the majority will only understand after it happens to them.
Hey everyone, check out the comment above by “benito.” Think it’s a bot/spam? It’s boilerplate meant to appeal to a broad audience and it’s obviously not directed towards OD specifically.
I’m guessing bot.
Thanks “Veni Vidi Dixi” for th intro:
“All Men are created equal”! The founders had it right, when attempting to form a perfect union and they also knew that they were not there yet but knew we one day would get there. Lincoln moved us forward as did JFK and LBJ. This Nation was founded by men of many nations and backgrounds. It was founded on the principle that all men are created equal, and that the rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened.
It is my contention that this AZ law is not constitutional and will fail when challenged (unless they keep adding more amendments), pretty funny for a perfect law, now why hitch your wagon to this dead white elephant? I do not understand. “See You In Court”.
Benito: Do you even know the racial views of America’s Founding Fathers and Abraham Lincoln?
I do know that you represent more the Mary Ann Todd Lincoln sentiments.
“This Nation was founded by men of many nations and backgrounds. It was founded on the principle that all men are created equal…”
Equal in what regard? Obviously people share certain commonalities, but equally obviously they are created with different aptitudes, capabilities, talents, and other attributes. We’re not blank slates, right?
Even today people don’t agree on what this phrase means, even people for whom these words are Holy Writ.
Benito posted the exact same post, word for word, on Age of Treason. Human or bot, it’s a spammer.
Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln believed blacks could enjoy equality in Africa.
I sure hope OD comments sections don’t get filled up by nonsense writers like ‘Benito’…plenty of forums-for-sheeple-jerkoffs out there…find one and stay there, please.
