Response to Frostee Wooldridge review of Buchannan
http://www.newswithviews.com/Wooldridge/frosty185.htmI don't sense that Pat Buchanan has grasped the root of the issue, which someone must, if it is to be solved. How can a Catholic apologist really decode the population eugenics his institution clearly embraces? A historical context must be presented for immigration. This is impossible without a clear understanding of the economic structure of the Age of Exploration (i. e., the lack of labor to exploit royal grants to corporations, followed by the overthrow of these grants to sieze Indian lands, and grants of huge private commercial concessions underwritten by the government, such as railways, mines, timber, or grazing.). To do this involves replacing the myths of American history with critical thinking. A good overview of colonial economics and the development of big capitalism in North America is The History of the Great American Fortunes, although progressives like Gustavus Myers are blind to the role of tribal family size imperatives in causing social inequity. The Spanish American War, an essential context for current events, falls clearly within this economic history. (see Hearst, advocate of Mexican annexation with his vast private holdings run by Chinese serfs, below)
On a more practical level, Americans are trapped in a debt structure dependent on a real estate pyramid scheme of property appreciation based on underclass expansion (and below market construction labor-see New Orleans). Here in California, real estate is the biggest "industry". In America, the middle class relies on property appreciation for its entire wealth. Immigrant bashing in this context is just a ruling class red herring, a red flag for a "false flag" operation of distraction. (Immigrant romanticism and immigrant bashing are the same mystification.) Globalization is essentially an admission that after a century and a half of industrialization, no one can improve upon medieval feudalism. Your allusion to the Titanic is telling because the social structure duplicates our wealth distribution.
Its a complex subject, so I just ask one thing from people who are serious about a solution: realize that a global problem doesn't have a national solution. Also, as your website suggests, a problem of a part of nature requires cooperation with the rest, an acknowledgement that the same rules apply to us.
As Grey Brecklin writes in "Imperial San Francisco", the greatest champion of the immigration-real estate hypothesis, Hearst, is also the inventor of the media-generated terrorist attack imperialist rationale. The head of our snake is his spiritual successor Mr. Murdoch.
