Fear, The Root Of Evil

Here's a question for you: Why do "refugees" spend so much time trying to change other countries and cultures into something they are trying to leave?

Here's the deal: if you truly want to emigrate to another country because you think the life there is, for some reason, better or different or offers more opportunities than the one you are leaving, then why would you refuse to integrate and rather bring all the worst aspects of the culture you are leaving?  Doesn't that seem to defeat the purpose?

I do not, nor have I ever agreed with mass immigration.  This is not true immigration, it is an invasion.  Invasions are forceful take-over of other countries and cultures, replacing them with something foreign.  In my humble opinion, when this happens it is an act of war and the existing population is fully within their rights to fight back violently.  They have the right to round up and forcefully expel the invaders and to do everything possible to eradicate the invaders, and to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law any of their own who aid and abet the invaders.

It astounds me to no end that the EU and US populations have reacted with such passivity to the forced invasions of millions of foreigners with incompatible legal and social mores.  To my mind, this demonstrates the profound extent to which Western civilization has declined, in that there is no longer enough people with moral and physical fortitude to stand up to this literal take-over that supplanting millennia-old cultures practically overnight.

Some readers might argue that Brexit and Trump and upcoming "leaders" like Marine Le Pen and Janos Ader are the reaction, but I say this may be too little too late.  First, what can one say about the mentality of the masses who rolled over and accepted the invasion in the first place, or allowed "leaders" to fling open the doors years ago?  Second, there are sufficient numbers of apathetic or mind-controlled idiots who still fight to destroy their own cultures and still have a significant voice.

In a matter such as this, there should be no polite tolerance.  There should be no compassion or passivity.  When one witnesses the wholesale destruction of one's nation and culture.  It is one thing to accept incoming individuals who want to contribute to the general well-being and merge into extant society, but when waves of faceless masses swarm into a nation, absorb irrational amounts of the economy as a "right" and immediately demand that thousands of years of development be thrown out in favor of a wholly incompatible system, that is an invasion and should be repelled with all available force.

It is perhaps instructive to note that this exact situation, though far slower, was the primary cause of the fall of Rome.  By the time Alaric I and the Visigoths sacked Rome in AD410, the social and cultural core had eroded to such a degree that what was once the greatest force on Earth could not repel, nor really gave much effort to it, the invading hordes.

These invaders do not deserve tolerance because they are not tolerant.  They do not deserve compassion because they are not compassionate.  They have as their primary motivation to destroy the existing order and supplant it with their own.  They don't seek to contribute to the general welfare, but to loot it and like locusts leave nothing but barren earth behind them.  The hordes are not educated, thinking people, they are blank slates upon which ideologues can write any program they choose.

If these hordes were truly motivated to change things for the better, they would stay home and reform their own countries.  That is not their goal.  They are exporting their error in a way that is destructive to the invaded lands.

At this point, many readers will take issue with me, having not made it this far and thinking that somehow I am singling out certain peoples over another.  However, I castigate ANY invading culture, whether it be my own or any other.

I have watched closely as the American Way has infiltrated by stealth or force into dozens of other cultures.  I have walked through the wastes of many unique and fascinating cultures now supplanted with McDonald's, KFC and Starbucks.  I have seen what passes for American entertainment muscle out homegrown forms.  I have witnessed American greed literally rape other nations for profit.

To a certain extent, I see the poetic justice embedded in the waves of humanity pouring over US and EU borders.  I have experienced first-hand the effects of British, French, Dutch, Spanish, and Portuguese colonialism.  I have seen the same effects of Arabic and Chinese domination of unsuspecting lands.

I do not care what color or background the invaders have.  To me it is sufficient to revile the invaders who seek to destroy, plunder and replace any other culture.  I don't care what ISIS believes, and they are free to attempt to convert others, but when they blowup and bulldoze ancient monuments because the culture that created them is not their own, then they deserve to be eradicated with prejudice.

In history, we have seen great art and wisdom wiped out by invaders.  The European powers that colonized Asia and the Americas should be sufficient warning to the world that this type of behavior is not acceptable, and it doesn't matter who is invading whom.  We cannot change the past, but we can certainly change the future, and the the extent possible, we can seek to preserve as much of the cultures that were destroyed, if for no other reason than to serve as a lesson for the future of humanity.

Trump will not fix the problem.  Brexit, Le Pen and Ader will not fix the problem.  The problem in buried in the core of the individual and no amount of "leaders" can change it.  It is a flaw in human nature that we accept leaders in the first place.  Humans are programmed to roll over and beg whenever confronted with power of any kind.  It is our lack of faith in our own characters and abilities to control our lives that is at fault.  That humans can be herded so easily is our fundamental weakness.

By the same token, when an invader is successful, it is the individual's personal responsibility for that success.  It is our lack of conviction and strength to resist that is to blame, not "leaders."

In short, it is our fear that is our defeat.

INTERVIEW: Peter Levenda 2 on Radio Far Side

Peter Levenda once again joins us on Radio Far Side.  This time, we use Rudyard Kipling's The Man Who Would Be King as the jumping off point for a discussion of Western culture, economic hegemony, xenophobia, travel, education, and a number of other topics.  The three main questions in focus are: Does Western culture have an innate superiority complex?  If so, is it in fact superior?  And either way, does it contain the seed of its own demise?

This is a fascinating hour with one of the best thinkers and researchers around.  Peter's background and education make him highly qualified to observe and comment on the topic at hand.  Settle back and prepare to think as we explore the last 500 years of Western history vis-a-vis the Eastern hemisphere.

Peter Levenda has spent the past 25 years researching and publishing his books, visiting more than 40 countries and gaining access to temples, prisons, military installations, and government documents. He is president of the international division of a telecommunications company and the author of ten books, including Unholy Alliance: A History of Nazi involvement with the Occult, a trilogy of books titled Sinister Forces: A Grimoire of American Political Witchcraft, also Tantric Temples: Eros and Magic in Java, and his latest book Ratline: Soviet Spies, Nazi Priests and the Disappearance of Adolf Hitler. He lives in Miami, Florida, and he joins us, as luck would have it, from Jogjakarta, Indonesia.

A note on TMWWBK movie: the story by Rudyard Kipling, directed by John Huston, and starring Sean Connery, Michael Caine and Christopher Plummer.  This is one of the best movies ever made!  As good as anything John Huston directed, including African Queen.  Don't miss it!

Ex-Patty Cake

Sodium Fluoride

The other day, I happened upon one of these brochures intended for ex-pats, particularly American and British, who are being transferred to Indonesia.

They are given as general FAQs to executive types whose companies are sending them abroad on assignment.  The tone of these things is usually quite condescending.  They reflect the ruling paradigm of the two cultures from which they come.  At the same time, they are almost comical in their hand-holding.

The British pieces are of a common tone.  They primarily go to the idea that even though the ex-pat will not be under the direct control of the monarchy for a while, they will still be able to find a tea cart and cucumber sandwiches at 4pm, and if they look hard enough, even a bit of culture to while away their time.

The American ones are even worse.  They have the tone that even though the ex-pat is away from the usual brain-washing, they can still find pockets of Americanism where they can get their fix of tele-screens and paranoia.  Just, for God's sake, don't mix with the natives!

The one I was reading was geared towards Americans, though it included information for British, as well.  The one thing that absolutely riveted me was a small side-bar blurb.  The graphic was a water cooler and inside the bottle it read, "Water in Indonesia is not fluoridated.  You may want to check with your doctor to supplement you intake."

Now, let's just let that soak in for a moment...

For those who are still in the dark, sodium fluoride is an industrial waste product that was commonly used as rat poison until the post-WWII era.  It is produced most commonly in uranium and aluminum processing.  The Nazis used it in drinking water in concentration camps to keep the natives in a stupor and controllable.

Yes, I've read all the studies about fluoride.  Most of the early ones showing benefit to teeth involved naturally occuring CALCIUM fluoride in ground water.  The populations that had higher levels of CALCIUM fluoride had less incidence of tooth decay.  Makes sense.  When one drink the water, the calcium fluoride bond breaks leaving a calcium ion which readily bonds to the tooth enamel.

SODIUM fluoride is highly poisonous.  If you look on the toothpaste tube, you'll see a warning NOT to ingest the contents, and to call a doctor or POISON control center if you do.  They put it in small print and most people never read the damn labels on things they shove into their bodies.  Sodium fluoride causes all kinds of problems, such as fluoridosis, that damages teeth and bones and suppresses certain brain functions.  It is linked to suppression of the pineal gland, which has all sorts of implications.

I was floored.  Here in a brochure was a warning that the ex-pat wouldn't get his daily dose of poison in the drinking water and should check with his doctor!  Why didn't it simply go on to say, "Be sure to swallow your toothpaste every day to get your fix so you don't wake up?"

The entire piece was, of course, typical of the Anglo-American superiority complex.  Both cultures have this damnedable attitude that theirs is the highest form of culture on Earth, and if you absolutely MUST live outside it for a time, don't worry.  The natives generally won't eat you.  The sheer arrogance of these people is rather astounding.

Indonesians generally consider Anglo-Americans to be sombong, meaning arrogant.  The British are the worst, as they look down on everyone.  The Americans still worship the British, but shit on everyone else.  Both cultures have spent years terra-forming the Earth to meet their particular needs and aesthetics.

English language schools are a huge global racket, especially in Asia.  Since Americans and Brits refuse to learn any other language, the world is forced to learn English in order to take their money.  I'm not opposed to the use of trading languages.  Certainly, the world is full of them.  Indonesian is a trading language, as is French and a number of others.  But none of them have the global infrastructure to force everyone to speak English.

In fact, most non-native English speakers I have met use better language than the average product of American public schools.  If English survives into future generations, it will ironically be on the tongues of foreign speakers.  The average Indonesian high school graduate knows more about English grammar than the average US college grad.

Columbus Sticking It To The Natives

It's no wonder so many Indos are amazed that I am fluent in Indonesian.  They are even more amazed that I speak a smattering of Java, Sunda, Batak, and Manado, to boot.  Then they are gob-smacked that I speak an additional 10 languages above that.  I have to remind them that I am Texian, and by that I exclude the US occupying forces in my mother country.  Most true Texians are more erudite and culturally sensitive than even the most ardent bone-headed 'diversity' advocate.

To their credit, most of the Canadians, Germans, Dutch, Spanish, Romanians, Russians, Croatians, Mongolians, Chinese, and Koreans I have met here all speak Indonesian fairly well.  Very few Americans or Brits do, at least beyond "I want...".  The Ozzies?  Well, they're still debating which is their native language, much less learning any other.  Hahahaha!

Of all groups, Americans seem to be the worst offenders.  Wherever they go, they demand that the locals supply them with hamburgers, pizza and fluoride.  In general, Americans are the most provincial, quivering ninnies when it comes to diving into foreign cultures.  They give endless lip service to diversity and multi-culturalism, and have quaint festivals once a year with arts and crafts from some hapless victim culture.  But take them out of their protective, paranoid shells and dump them in the middle of a new land they can't even find on a map?

To be fair, Americanism is just an extension of Britishism.  The unmitigated gall of a people to think they can go around sticking flags in things and calling them colonies sets one back a bit.  It was that British mentality that led the US to wholesale slaughter of native North Americans, or Australian aborigines, or Indians or any of a dozen other peoples.  How does a group of people come to believe that its culture is so superior to anything else that all others must conform or die?

I don't single out the Anglo-Americans, either.  The French, Dutch, Portuguese, Italians, and Spanish, not to mention the Catholic Church have all done the same, just not to the jaw-dropping extent of the Anglos.  I mean, they literally landed on foreign shores, were greeted with open arms, and then proceeded to slaughter anyone who was brown, spoke a different language, or didn't acknowledge the genetic aberrations called the royals.

There's an old joke that seems appropriate about here:

Someone who speaks multiple languages is calles a polyglot.  Someone who speaks only two languages is called bilingual.  But someone who only speaks one language is called British.

At any rate, I wish I could find the author of the brochure I received.  I would love to add some things to it.  First, this:
"Don't panic!  Others have done this an survived.  They have McDonalds and Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza here.  You can even get your daily psychotropic medications readily at the local pharmacy without prescription, so you don't wake up before going home.  There are many English speakers among the few natives you will encounter on your stay.  They will not force you to participate in local culture or try to teach you new languages.  YOU ARE SAFE!  Just do NOT leave your hotel room, except to take our armored shuttle to your workplace.  Be sure and register with the embassy so they can email your daily paranoia warnings.  If at any point, you feel like you are assimilating, call immediately and we will be happy to re-indoctrinate you at no additional charge."

You know, if more Americans and Brits actually go out and learned about other countries and peoples, they might stop bombing them.  But, that may be too much to ask.  After all, those other countries and peoples are sitting on top of our precious resources.  Can't have that.  And certainly, nasty folks like Qaddafi who have independent central banks and debt-free currencies need special attention.

See your doctor about lack of fluoride in the water.  Hahahaha!  If that doesn't beat all.  In fact, it says so much in so few words, though I think many people won't get the joke.  In fact, the more I think about it, that little side-bar blurb may just be one of the sharpest jabs I have seen in a long time, and brilliantly disguised, at that.

I should write a letter to the author thanking him/her for such wry and subtle humor!
