From Huddled Masses To Scared Masses

They say America is the land to which people are dying to go as evidenced by the waves of illegal immigrants who try to reach her borders and her shores. This is true but what is misleading about the statement is that it ignores the fact illegal immigration is happening all over the World not just towards America.

It happens to the nations that normally take in immigrants such as Canada and Australia, to the wealthy nations that do not take in immigrants such as those in Western Europe and to the poor nations that have enough problems of their own they cannot worry about someone else's. For example, nations in Asia, Africa and the Middle East are constantly overwhelmed by refugees that come from neighboring countries and from afar when they can barely cope with the demands of their own populations.

This is not to minimize the fact that for a long time America stood as the land of opportunity for many people. Since the days when the potato famine was deliberately inflicted on the Irish, America has spoken to the ancient lands and said: "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless to me…" as these words are inscribed on the Statue of Liberty on Ellis Island in New York.

But America is no longer what she was. An honest look at what is going on today reveals she is closer to being the land of the huddled and scared masses than a land for the huddled and hopeful masses because things have changed on two fronts. First, the existing population is asked to change its outlook on life from one of self confidence to one of fear. Second, the immigrants of today differ from the immigrants of the past in that they come to America out of unprecedented desperation. Worse, they come devoid of the dreams that were the stock in trade of their predecessors, such dreams upon which America built a once glorious culture.

Things began to change in America in line with a sick and twisted doctrine known as the Alan Dershowitz doctrine which gave Israel and the Jews the right to do to others anything they imagine was done to them or done to someone else. The Jewish Establishment in America adopted the doctrine and used every vehicle of the culture to stir the audiences with the aim of making the American people fear their Arab and Muslim neighbors at home and abroad.

The model that the Jewish lobby has followed came from an era that is rooted in the Nineteen Fifties. It was the McCarthy era when a senator by that name tried to make the American people fear their neighbors. The senator went after the Communists but this was a euphemism that meant Jewish in the minds of many people at the time. And this was enough of an excuse for the Jewish lobby of today to revive the McCarthyism of yesterday and set it off against the Arabs and the Muslims.

Hate and fear are the two legs upon which stands every campaign of demagoguery. The Nazis discovered this reality in the past and the lobby is rediscovering it now. When married to McCarthyism and to the culture of insult which is what the Yiddish culture has brought to the American Administration, the Congress and the media, a method is born by which to hurt innocent Arabs and Muslims more potently than McCarthy could ever hurt the Jews.

Once that plan was firmly implanted in America, the lobby worked to make the culture and the accompanying demagoguery spillover to the rest of the World. To this end, the operatives of the lobby devised a plan that may be called Recipe Of The Day. The plan has two columns, one that may be called Who Hates America and the other Who Loves America.

The way the plan works is this: instead of telling the Americans in a direct way that they ought to hate a people or a country which would sound bad, the operatives of the lobby tell a lie that cannot be proved or disproved. For example, they would say that so and so hates them. The idea is to invite the Americans to hate the haters back without being accused of promoting hatred. Thus, the Jewish lobby picked an Arab or a Muslim country one at a time and told the Americans that these people hate them.

Another example came at a time when the President of Iran had not yet made it clear where Iran stood vis-à-vis Israel. An ironic consequence was that the Jews in Israel and America thought it would be a good thing if Iran developed the nuclear bomb as this would be a potential threat to the Arabs. And so the Jewish lobby blanketed America with "informed opinions" on the notion that young Iranians were madly in love with America if only because of her irresistible made-in-China denims. The message that the lobby hoped to knock into the heads of grown up Americans was that they must reciprocate and return the love until further notice.

That notice came when it became clear that the Iranians were not in a hurry to love America or Israel back as it was articulated by the President of Iran. The infamous Jewish lobby then transferred Iran form the love column to the hate column. The lobby went further and declared that the Arabs fear Iran, therefore the President of the United States must travel to the Middle East and show the Arabs how to hate Iran in turn. The poor thing took the advice to heart and tried to pull the stunt upon which the Arabs told him to take a hike which he did.

But fear seldom remains in a static state especially when you have the means to hit back. This is how and why the Americans were persuaded by Israel and the Jewish lobby to invade Iraq. Things happened exactly as planned at first but then the situation got out of hand and developed to such an extent that the American people are now being told: We are fighting "them" in there so that we won't have to fight them in here.

QUESTION: But who is "them" and how long will the fight last?

ANSWER: They are the Arabs and the Muslims and the fight may last a decade or a century or longer. We stayed in Europe, Korea and Japan a very long time and as you can see everything turned out all right.

QUESTION: Yes, it seems so, even denazification worked well in Germany. But then, debaathification did not work so well in Iraq. How do you account for that? Is the parallel between those two situations a false one?

ANSWER: I don't know.

In fact, to use the Second World War as a model according to which you conduct the modern clash of Civilizations is a bad idea. This is because the quarrel of then pitted sister ideologies against each other as each strove to achieve supremacy over the others. Whereas the modern quarrel pits an ideology that is vying for the same old supremacy against an ideology that was surprised by the fact her old assumptions were no longer holding true.

One assumption that is shattered every day is that the Arabs used to believe the Americans had a minimum level of class, self respect and dignity below which they will not sink. But the Jewish advisors and speechwriters to the American President and other prominent people explode this myth every day of the week. They do it by inserting into the official pronouncements the wrong things to say to an Arab then go ahead and do those things even when there is nothing to gain from them.

For example when the President speaks of Islamo-fascism without speaking of Christian-fascism where fascism started or Judeo-fascism where it is in full swing, the Arabs and the Muslims hear it from the horse's mouth as to who is in control of America. Seeing that the Jewish lobby is, they surmise that it will not be long before America is ordered to do to them what Israel is doing to the Palestinians in Palestine.

The reality is that America has managed to inflame an entire Civilization comprising nearly a billion and a half individuals who have come to believe America is out to annihilate them and their Civilization. Realizing that their own countries do not have the military might to blunt the threat, a growing number of the young in those countries are willing to take matters in their own hand and fight back in a manner that is bound to be unconventional. They fight not only America but their own elders who try to prevent them from undertaking such a futile enterprise.

The Americans responded by virtually closing their borders to those who come from there and from places near there. But without a steady infusion of immigrants like those who used to come to America in the past, the country will go back to being just an ordinary power, no more but maybe less. The good news is that the American people will not have to count on the war lasting a hundred years or more because without immigration, America will not last this long as a military superpower. The bad news is that America will also cease to be the economic superpower that it is today.

And this ought to be the scary part to frighten the American people, not the handful of Arab and Muslim kids whom the Jewish lobby wants the mighty American military to spend a hundred years chasing around the globe.

What a glorious moment for these kids to be awarded such honor instead of being reduced to play cops and robbers in the back alleys of the Middle Eastern cities and towns. And what a shameful moment for the American people when three hundred million of them are reduced to whisper what is destroying their country in a communist style deliberation because they fear the expression of such thought in a democratic style deliberation.
