My long-time and much-valued VDARE.com lieutenant James Fulford (his new Substack is here), alas unemployed since New York Attorney Letitia James’ unconstitutional mugging of VDARE.com, has been poached by The White Papers Policy Institute . He has just commented there on the Los Angeles anti-ICE riots.
Fulford cites Los Angeles Times’ writer Jack Miles’ opinion, expressed in Miles’ otherwise very reasonable Atlantic Magazine review of my 1995 book Alien Nation: Common Sense About America’s Immigration Disaster which I noted yesterday, that it was already impossible to enforce immigration law in the Hispanic areas of his city in 1995.
Fulford writes:
Brimelow’s response: “this simply concedes that the U.S. had lost control of its national territory—as early as 1995!
Fulford comments:
Which is why we need a Great Repatriation
Fulford and I discussed this problem extensively over many years at VDARE.com. And I believe I introduced him to Eugene Methvin’s book The Riot Makers, published back in 1970. (I was a member of Methvin’s publisher’s mail-order Conservative Book Club, part of the media catacombe in which the Dissident Right was then forced to dwell).
The MSM-unreported reality is that there were constant communist-instigated riots, now memory-holed, during the Vietnam War.
Methvin summarized his conclusions in National Review (!) in 1991.
The time to halt a riot is right at the start, by pinching off the criminal spearhead with precise and overwhelming force.
And:
Riots begin when some set of social forces temporarily overwhelms or paralyzes the police, who stand by, their highly visible inaction signaling to the small percentage of teenaged embryonic psychopaths and hardened young adults that a moral holiday is under way.
Emphasis added.
Fulford adds:
The “riot makers” of Methvin’s title, by the way, were not random social forces, nor yet disgruntled minority youth on street corners where the riots happen—they were the left-wing organizations (which today include Antifa, the Sunrise Movement, and various George Soros-backed “immigrant rights” NGOs) that backed the riots, and the politicians who let the riots go on.
This “moral holiday” is what the Trump Administration is facing, and what it must crush or (along with America) die.
