An Establishment Unhinged

Guest Post by Patrick J. Buchanan

Calling for a moratorium on Muslim immigration “until our country’s representatives can figure out what the hell is going on,” Donald Trump this week ignited a firestorm of historic proportions.

As all the old hate words — xenophobe, racist, bigot — have lost their electric charge from overuse, and Trump was being called a fascist demagogue and compared to Hitler and Mussolini.

The establishment seemed to have become unhinged.

Why the hysteria? Comes the reply: Trump’s call for a temporary ban on Muslim immigration tramples all over “American values” and everything we stand for, including the Constitution.

But is this really true?

The Constitution protects freedom of religion for U.S. citizens. But citizens of foreign lands have no constitutional right to migrate. And federal law gives a president broad powers in deciding who comes and who does not, especially in wartime.

In 1924, Congress restricted immigration from Asia, reduced the numbers coming from southern and Central Europe, and produced a 40-year moratorium on most immigration into the United States.

Its authors and President Coolidge wanted ours to remain a nation whose primary religious and ethnic ties were to Europe, not Africa or Asia.

Under FDR, Truman and JFK, this was the law of the land.

Did this represent 40 years of fascism?

Why might Trump want a moratorium on Muslim immigration?

Reason one: terrorism. The 9/11 terrorists were Muslim, as were the shoe and underwear bombers on those planes, the Fort Hood shooter, the Times Square bomber and the San Bernardino killers.

And as San Bernardino showed again, Islamist terrorists are exploiting our liberal immigration policies to come here and kill us.

Thus, a pause, a timeout on immigration from Muslim countries, until we fix the problem, would seem to be simple common sense.

Second, Muslims are clearly more susceptible to the siren call of terrorism, and more likely to be radicalized on the Internet and in mosques than are Christians at church or Jews at synagogue.

Which is why we monitor mosques more closely than cathedrals.

Third, according to Harvard’s late Samuel Huntington, a “clash of civilizations” is coming between the West and the Islamic world. Other scholars somberly concur. But if such a conflict is in the cards, how many more millions of devout Muslims do we want inside the gates?

Set aside al-Qaida, ISIS and their sympathizers. Among the 1.6 billion Muslims worldwide are untold millions of followers of the Prophet who pray for the coming of a day when sharia is universal and the infidels, i.e., everyone else, are either converted or subjugated.

In nations where Muslims are already huge majorities, where are the Jews? Where have all the Christians gone?

With ethnic and sectarian wars raging in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Turkey, Yemen, Libya, Nigeria and Somalia, why would we bring into our own country people from all sides of these murderous conflicts?

Many European nations — Germans, French, Swedes, Brits — appear to regret having thrown open their doors to immigrants and refugees from the Islamic world, who have now formed unassimilated clusters and enclaves inside their countries.

Ought we not explore why, before we continue down this road?

In some countries of the Muslim world, Americans who embrace “Hollywood values” regarding abortion, adultery and homosexuality, can get their heads chopped off as quickly as converts to Christianity.

In what Muslim countries does Earl Warren’s interpretation of the First Amendment — about any and all religious presence being banned in public schools and all religions being treated equally — apply?

When is the next “Crusade for Christ” coming to Saudi Arabia?

Japan has no immigration from the Muslim world, nor does Israel, which declares itself a Jewish state. Are they also fascistic?

President Obama and the guilt-besotted West often bawl their apologies for the horrors of the Crusades that liberated Jerusalem.

Anyone heard Muslim rulers lately apologizing for Saladin, who butchered Christians to take Jerusalem back, or for Suleiman the Magnificent, who conquered the Christian Balkans rampaging through Hungary all the way to the gates of Vienna?

Trump’s surge this week, in the teeth of universal denunciation, suggests that a large slice of America agrees with his indictment — that our political-media establishment is dumb as a box of rocks and leading us down a path to national suicide.

Trump’s success tells us that the American people really do not celebrate “globalization.” They think our negotiators got snookered out of the most magnificent industrial machine ever built, which once guaranteed our workers the highest standard of living on earth.

They don’t want open borders or mass immigration. They want people here illegally to be sent back, the borders secured, and a moratorium imposed on Muslim immigration until we fix the broken system.

As for the establishment, they are saying pretty much what The Donald is saying. To paraphrase Oliver Cromwell’s speech to the Rump Parliament:

You have sat here too long for any good you have done here. In the name of God, go!

Muslim core values and Christian core values are not only different but incompatible.

Our country was developed on Christian core values, whether a Christian or not everyone has essentially accepted and lived by these same core values as the standard of our country. This is what has made us a coherent and unified country with common core compatibilities instead of multiple and incompatible factions competing with each otherfor cultural dominance.

Islam is now being imported into our country to compete with and eventually dominate our core values (notice that everything Christian is under attack by the government and other PTB and everything that is Islamic is being protected by them).

We are at war with Islam whether we admit it or not, Islam is a religion of dominance through sheer numbers or violent subjugation of other cultures and has been since it was first begun by Muhammad who was a general leading armies that killed off opposition and subjugated those not killed.

Since we intentionally refuse to acknowledge we are at war we don’t fight back (and actually vilify those who suggest we should).

If you don’t fight back in a war, you lose.

If you lose you are no longer what your are, you become something else that is dictated to you by your conqueror (Japan or Germany before and after WWII would be an example of this, and that was done by a benign conqueror who actually had Japan and Germany’s best interests in mind).

As we deliberately choose to let Islam take dominance and control of us, you will become Islamic in your core beliefs if not Islamic in your religious practices You will live under Islamic -Sharia- law and you will accept Islam as being the way you and your progeny will live.

There is no other option (proposing one makes you a hate filled Islamophobe, racist, bigot and intolerant xenophobe and you will be marginalized and ostracized).

As Obama so famously proclaimed, more than once, “We are no longer a Christian nation”. He is constantly working to insure the truth of this through Islamic expansion here.

I have a lot of admiration for Trump giving the bird to the conventional media and I support that aspect of his campaign – Illegitimum non carborundum Trump! However, I would never vote for him or any other of the myriad of mental midgets seeking to be the head clown of the three ring D.C. circus. In exchange for a leader willing to call a spade a spade, we will get a dictator.

He knows very well how to play the mob, and I will admit to having an excess of Muslim fatigue; I am sick of their demands for special privilages, their arrogance, and their terrorism & non-denunciation of those who commit attacks in the name of their religion. Since they are incapable of changing their nature or integrate, and are not likely to leave voluntarily to return to the shitholes they came from, the only remaining option is bloodshed and genocide to purge them from the Western world. And any we can keep out before that inevitability falls upon us is fewer that we will have to kill or will be taking up arms against us.

He’s probably one of the ones who upvoted Montefrio for running away like the cowardly little shitstain he is and breeding his bloodline out of existence… a real role model there…

If I vote – haven’t decided yet – then Trump gets my vote.

Not because I particularly like the guy, but because this fuckin train wreck of a country is unfixable and voting for Trump will be a big old “FUCK YOU” to the establishment…

If I cannot create, then let me UNcreate…

I suggest anyone wanting to experience life as a Muslim here in the USA to visit Hamtramck Michigan which recently elected a majority Muslim city council. Watch over the next few years how Christians are continually marginalized in that city (lots of Polish Catholics still there). One day you will wake up and think you are in Kabul.

You either vote for someone or you just let others decide for you without you having any say so in it at all.

If you vote for someone, even a loser, you have a right to gripe about things, if you don’t vote at all you don’t since you turned that choice over to others.

Even if you vote for some obscure third party candidate, at least vote.

The culture jihadists will over time set up no go zones and operate a hot war from there. That is why Saudi and the other muslims will not take refugees. This is a planed strategy. We are at war and don’t know it, at least a lot of us don’t We are being hostage by our greed for pleasure requiring cheap oil. They not as stupid as they seem. Or we are even stupider than them and in our arrogance cannot see it

Moonie, I actually respect your thinking, and have some idea of why you feel the way you do. But doing nothing, in the name of principle, is still doing nothing. And therefore, worthless. Better to get bloodied up a bit, and find out you were tricked, than do nothing. Mike, who I like, said yesterday, I stand with rand. Why, I don’t have a clue. Rand stands with mitch mcconnell. Rand is at 1%. Even if he were willing to do the dirty work, he will never have the chance. Trump might.

Starfcker, I am partial to Rand; at least he is saying the right things about the NSA & drones. If someone stuck a gun to my head I would vote for Rand or write his father in if no one was looking. But the system is irretrievably broken and participating in it does more damage than refusing to give legitimacy to it. If it was a crooked card game, you could participate in the fraud & enjoy the spoils, be a sucker and get taken, or just refuse to play altogether. I keep an eye on the election fraud for the entertainment value but anything more than that is placing too much hope in a system that has been fucked up by both sides of the establishment party getting fixed by the same establishment.

What would happen if they gave an election & no one came…

I’m on record with a lot of views not popular here, events will give me my grade, and if I was suckered, I’ll hear about it. That’s cool. I’d rather be right, but bring wrong is no shame to me.

America isn’t ready for the ideas of Rand (Ayn or otherwise). They still think that a system based on looting your productive neighbor is a viable system. This is why they voted for Obama: they thought that ‘somehow’ he could perpetuate the plunder system. He did, but for the benefit of the bankers.

Hillary promises that SHE really will plunder for the benefit of the majority, not for the banksters. If elected, watch for the day when her loot-checks bounce, marked ‘account overdrawn’.

Trump says a lot of the right things too but he is also bat-shit crazy with just enough competence to make his craziness scary. I can appreciate that you want to have someone who will do something but this mass insanity and rush to elect a demogogue who says what everyone thinks but is too scared to say out loud will saddle us with a dictator. And that folks do not see the danger or do not care is why this will end badly.

So can anyone deny that the Obongo administration and DHS are complicit in aiding and abetting the invasion of millions of potential terrorists into our country? So what then is their goal…creating a new multicultural and diverse nations, just like the nations from which all the diverse cultures originate from?

Gowdy Versus Control Freak DHS No-Nothing, Grabbing Guns, Putting Citizens On Lists, Just Being A Liberal

While she might not be as dumb as a box of federal rocks and may in fact be qualified according to the criteria established by the criminals in DHS management to hold her position. Beyond simply being a lockstep open borders liberal, it is clear that she provides the appearance of being a know-nothing bimbo. As we know, in many cases the perception does have a way of intruding upon the reality.
The witness, who admits to being capable of providing only limited information, Ms Burriesci, works at DHS, the open borders people who, along with the State Department, brought terrorism and a flood of illegals to our soil. She doesn’t seem concerned by that fact and is quite comfortable defending gun-grabbing the gun-grabbing of the despotic Obama regime she represents.
Rep Trey Gowdy has a few questions for the little girl who wants to control us. He asks, as a base point of reference, how many visa over-stayers there are in the United States. She reminds the Congressman she’s already not answered that question, that she doesn’t have that statistics with her.
Being the gentleman that he is, Rep Gowdy offers to make things easy on the young lady, by using the oft-quoted and very familiar statistics of the Obama regime that there are 11 million illegal aliens and forty percent of them are visa overstays. Sometimes people don’t recognize when you’re doing them a favor. She’s obviously not witness caliber material, having never heard that extremely common and probably understated number before.
He asks her if there is a list of individuals by name who have overstayed, an irrelevant question to the witness who might as well have replied, “Right, like we’re going to deport anybody.” Gowdy continues with Ms Imnotsure asking if the list is shared with federally licensed firearms dealers, to which she replies, predictably, “I’m not sure.”
He informs her that illegals aren’t allowed to purchase or possess firearms and wonders how their prosecution of non-citizen illegals has gone, in consideration of their intent to start cracking down on the Constitutionally protected Second Amendment rights of Americans.
He keeps the mild pressure on, asking her what process is afforded an American citizen before they go on the no-fly list. The somewhat stupefied witness walks directly into the trap, replying, “I’m sorry, there’s not a process afforded a citizen prior to getting on the list. There’s a process should someone feel they are unduly placed on the list.”
Gowdy says, “Yes there is,” and informs her that he is only using half of the full term of “due process,” something every American is entitled to according to that document the Obama regime has dismissed as irrelevant, the US Constitution.
He asks Ms Burriesci if she can name another Constitutional right that is infringed upon and then subject to possible reinstatement by the agency who removed it. He cites several examples, including references to the First, Sixth and Eighth Amendments, questions which the young control freak has no answer to, and stumped, states exactly that to Rep Gowdy.
In closing Rep Gowdy asks questions regarding the interview of the female San Bernardino terrorist to which the witness provides conflicting answers about the interview process and who has custody of the records. He again is unsuccessful in obtaining the relevant information and suggests that the witness have her boss make the file on the approved terrorist available to the appropriate committee members.
These bureaucras can’t handle their own simple jobs, are clueless to that fact and want to tell us how they’re going to fix everything else by controlling us; it’s truly amazing.

Poll of U.S. Muslims Reveals Ominous Levels Of Support For Islamic Supremacists’ Doctrine of Shariah, Jihad

https://www.centerforsecuritypolicy.org/2015/06/23/nationwide-poll-of-us-muslims-shows-thousands-support-shariah-jihad/
Press Releases | June 23, 2015 | The Muslim Brotherhood in America, Understanding the Shariah Threat Doctrine
According to a new nationwide online survey (Below) of 600 Muslims living in the United States, significant minorities embrace supremacist notions that could pose a threat to America’s security and its constitutional form of government.

The numbers of potential jihadists among the majority of Muslims who appear not to be sympathetic to such notions raise a number of public policy choices that warrant careful consideration and urgent debate, including: the necessity for enhanced surveillance of Muslim communities; refugee resettlement, asylum and other immigration programs that are swelling their numbers and density; and the viability of so-called “countering violent extremism” initiatives that are supposed to stymie radicalization within those communities.

Overall, the survey, which was conducted by The Polling Company for the Center for Security Policy (CSP), suggests that a substantial number of Muslims living in the United States see the country very differently than does the population overall. The sentiments of the latter were sampled in late May in another CSP-commissioned Polling Company nationwide survey.

According to the just-released survey of Muslims, a majority (51%) agreed that “Muslims in America should have the choice of being governed according to shariah.” When that question was put to the broader U.S. population, the overwhelming majority held that shariah should not displace the U.S. Constitution (86% to 2%).

“What would happen if they gave an election & no one came…”

No one would result in an appointment, maybe by a court but probably by whomever had the most and fastest guns..

But even a single vote cast would mean whomever that vote was cast for would win and whomever cast it would determine the future of the country.

Hilarious that they invoke the constitution when it is convenient, and ignore it the rest of the time. The constitution was not to protect government but provide limitation on what intrusions government may have on the people, and it has been infringed to a point of non recognizably.

The greatest error of the Founding Fathers was to include freedom of religion in the U.S. Constitution. It should read “freedom of various Christian denominations” instead. It’s clear in places such as this that Christianity is the one true religion.

Trump might just go all the way, he’s doing what no politician has done since I can’t remember when. Trumps bringing Democrats, Republican, and never voted people together around a common cause. I’m just absolutely in shock at how little support he’s getting here from the crew! The Dems hate his ass the GOP hates his ass that’s as good as it gets people. What do you want?

Lets look at a few numbers:
– Americans murdered by Americans: about 1000/month
– Americans committing suicide using guns: about 2000/month
– Americans killed in car crashes: about 2500/month
– Americans killed by Islamic terrorists in the last 10 years: about 0.5/month

Obviously we need to ban the entrance of more muslims and eradicate all the Muslims here because they represent such a huge threat to the American public. We need a leader like Trump who will pander to our basest nature and distract us from taking any responsibility for our collective failures.

Obama, like every president for the last 40 years is a sock puppet whose functional purpose is to facilitate the transfer wealth and power to the corporations and the banks – a program that is well advanced.

Nothing Trump, Clinton, Jesus, Mohammed, you, me or Santa Claus is going to change America’s downward spiral. Collapse is embedded in empires at their inception, America will be no different.

How that collapse will continue to unfold is open for debate. A Trump presidency would probably accelerate the process, quite possibly ending in a mushroom cloud.
