On the Multiculturism Radar Screen
"Multiculturism", strolled into the American scene like a cute little underfed puppy. For the most part, well-wishing citizens who saw the United States as a melting pot of different cultures and races etc., nourished this little animal through our education system and all the media outlets by "celebrating diversity". However, as Coca-Cola ads tried to teach us all "to sing in perfect harmony", the cute little puppy grew into a Trojan Horse packed full of bitter racial, ethnic, and sexual-orientation political power snatchers with all the 'victimhood' propaganda weapons fully unsheathed and swinging.
One of these groups "MEChA" (Movimiento Estudiantil de Chicanos de Aztlan /or The Student Movement of Aztlan Chicanos) has not yet been given much air or ink from the msm. Recently Discoverthenetwork.org (via Frontpagemag) explained it's ambitions in a nutshell. In an article by David Orland "The Road to Aztlan":
"Radical politics have been part of the game on American campuses since at least the mid-1960s but have recently taken a new and disturbing turn. At colleges and universities across the country... MEChA -- is calling for the surrender of wide swaths of American territory to Mexico. Worse yet, in doing so, it has the support of university administrators, elected officials, and -- thanks to the mandatory student activity fees on which the organization depends -- tuition-paying students.
"...Founded in the late 1960s, MEChA has spent the last three decades indoctrinating Latino students on American campuses in the ideology of reconquista (reconquest). According to MEChA propaganda, the Southwestern United States -- including California, Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, as well as parts of Nevada, Utah, and Colorado -- sits on the territory of the ancient (and mythical) --Nation of Aztlan.-- Supposedly the cradle of Aztec civilization, MEChA charges that Aztlan was unjustly seized by the United States following the Mexican-American War. Now MEChA wants this territory given back to its alleged rightful owners: the people and government of Mexico. "
As illegal immigration continues to exploit our lack of vigilance and political apprehension by most of our elected officials, the threat of a populist driven pseudo-nationalistic fervor could start chewing away the foundation of America's greatness (for ALL races) like termites. History revisionists have been paving a smoother path for idealistic renegades from reality. With delusions of racial/ethnic/national grandeur, they continually move their wagons forward at every given opportunity.
Michael, (astute Belgian observer) from Downeastblog has compared our immigration problems with Europe's: "...you guys don't know how lucky you are. You are [gosh darned] dealing with Catholic Mexicans!!!" ...Point well taken, Michael. At this particular juncture I wouldn't trade our immigration problems with yours for anything. And if all we had coming over the border were honest Christian-valued families just trying to eke out an honest living (which many are), the issue would be much easier to deal with. But, besides the obvious terrorist threat, there are many criminal elements creeping through our soft boundaries which include gang members and fugitives from the law ( no doubt Vincente Fox is only too happy to send them north) wheeling and dealing the drugs, arms, slave labor, and sex trade. These new visitors are ripe for the picking by "Aztlan" recruiters. It would be very tempting for fugitives from corruption that have few or no prospects to partake in a new revolution that promises the reincarnation of a past "great civilization"?
Atzlan's "total independent news service" website oddly smacks of radical islamic propaganda. Just about every leftist bone of contention against the United States is embraced. Apparently they see themselves as North America's "Palestinians" showing proud solidarity with the 20th century's founding fathers of terrorism. "Palestinians" have taught us that if you rant loud enough and long enough while brainwashing a couple of generations with lies, hate, and martyr duty, the naïve "world community" will validate and finance your objectives. Cinnamon Stillwell gets it right: "From its mythical beginnings to its continuing ability to attract followers, the "Palestinian cause" has taken on a life of its own. It's the third world "resistance movement" de jour and entire classes of Westerners would have no purpose in life if not for its existence. The Palestinians can literally do or espouse anything and the world will willingly turn a blind eye." [emphasis mine]
While MEChA has not yet found a powerful base that will entertain and finance its pursuit, it is most certainly worth keeping a close eye on this bunch. Academia, illegal immigrants, msm, and Hollywood are all extremely vulnerable to these types of victimhood campaigns.
