Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire.—Gustav Mahler

Global Elites


Peggy Noonan: “Nothing in [the elite's] lives will get worse. The challenge of integrating different cultures, negotiating daily tensions, dealing with crime and extremism and fearfulness on the street—that was put on those with comparatively little, whom I’ve called the unprotected. They were left to struggle, not gradually and over the years but suddenly and in an air of ongoing crisis that shows no signs of ending—because nobody cares about them enough to stop it.” (2016)

Enoch Powell: “They found their wives unable to obtain hospital beds in childbirth, their children unable to obtain school places, their homes and neighbourhoods changed beyond recognition, their plans and prospects for the future defeated; at work they found that employers hesitated to apply to the immigrant worker the standards of discipline and competence required of the native-born worker; they began to hear, as time went by, more and more voices which told them that they were now the unwanted.” (1968)

There was a sizable movement in the Sierra Club against the environmental havoc too much immigration was causing.

Fortunately cooler heads prevailed, and the hotter heads were lopped off.
