Defending Definable Borders

“Restricted immigration is not an offensive but purely a defensive action. It is not adopted in criticism of others in the slightest degree, but solely for the purpose of protecting ourselves. We cast no aspersions on any race or creed, but we must remember that every object of our institutions of society and government will fail unless America be kept American.

Calvin Coolidge

Accepting the Republican Presidential Nomination

“American institutions rest solely on good citizenship. They were created by people who had a background of self-government. New arrivals should be limited to our capacity to absorb them into the ranks of good citizenship. America must be kept American. For this purpose, it is necessary to continue a policy of restricted immigration. It would be well to make such immigration of a selective nature with some inspection at the source and based either on a prior census or upon the record of naturalization. Either method would insure the admission of those with the largest capacity and best intention of becoming citizens. I am convinced that our present economic and social conditions warrant a limitation of those to be admitted. We should find additional safety in a law requiring the immediate registration of all aliens. Those who do not want to be partakers of the American spirit ought not to settle in America.”

Calvin Coolidge:
First Annual Message

“Properly applied to immigration, this commandment (the 5th) tells us we have the right and duty to defend our parents, households, villages and countries against invasion. If there is a natural right to immigrate (as opposed to emigrate), it is strange that it was only discovered when immigration rights had been put on the leftist agenda.”

Thomas Fleming

I know, to many readers, that 22,000 is too many refugees in a year, but you can be sure the low number of paying “clients” (refugees) will wreak havoc with the budgets of the nine federal contractors which could (optimistically) in turn force a complete review about why we have such a dysfunctional system where ‘non-profits’ are paid by the head to place refugees (in as much secrecy as they can muster) into towns and cities in 49 states.

There is never an incentive to slow the flow in overloaded communities with such a system where nine contractors*** are literally bidding for bodies.

Note — Most of those nine federal contractors are Volunteer Agencies that are connected with Christian denominations in America.

R. J. Rushdoony on the Immigration issue of the time (1965).

This then, is the nature of the Kennedy-Johnson bill. The likelihood of passage is very, very great unless a storm of protest overwhelms congress and compels them to surrender their present inclination to accept the bill. The purpose of this immigration policy then is to unify man, to bring about the unity of the godhead. Its purpose, and its premise, is not economic but religious. It is theologically rooted in this religious dream, the United Nations.

We Are A Conquered People

The below was written in 1377 by Ibn-Khaldun who was a Tunisian statesman, historian, and jurist. It is an early sociological analysis of the fascination that power holds for those who have been conquered and so are submitting to their overlords.

When you read this think about how we’ve been conquered by the anti-Christ cultural Marxists as seen in our films, worship, and music. Look at the music and media that are dominating this country. Look at the manner of how our youth act and talk. Think about how our womenfolk are increasingly acting like trollops as if that is virtuous and our menfolk increasingly acting like Betas as if that were masculine. Because of all that I believe the below quote is quite insightful.

“Those who are conquered always want to imitate the conqueror in his main characteristics — in his clothing, his crafts, and all his distinctive traits and customs. This is because the mind always sees perfection in the person who occupies a superior rank and to whom one is subordinate. He is thought to be perfect because the repose in which he is held is deeply felt, perhaps because it is falsely supposed by the subordinate person that it is not the natural consequence of defeat but is the result of the perfection of the conqueror. If this false supposition is fixed in the mind, it becomes a firm belief. The mind then adopts all the mannerisms of the conqueror and tries to be as similar as possible to him. This is imitation… This attraction goes so far that a nation dominated by another neighbor will try very hard to become like it and imitate it.”

The West has become dominated. The fact of that is seen in its willingness to turn a blind eye to the removal of its Western white history as seen in the ongoing removal of its statuary. The West has become dominated. The fact of that is seen in its willingness to let non-western ideas and non-western people successfully bully the American who still retains some principles that made America, “America.” The West has become dominated. The fact of that is seen in our declining birth rates and the unwillingness to accept the fact that our enemies are pursuing the Christian white man’s replacement.

Oddly enough the West has come to the point precisely because of its victories in the past. Because of the false guilt ginned up by our enemies and owned by the weak and insipid many Westerners believe that their system is worthless. It is as if the only desirable conquests were those in which the native minority triumphs over his Western conqueror. Harkening back to the Greek influence on Roman culture, many Westerners seemingly no longer want anything other than to be conquered by the cultures of the minority non-Christian peoples they once subdued.

This encapsulates the Rousseauian ideal of the noble savage. Westerners are convinced that the savage, the derelict, the ne’er do well precisely because he is a savage, derelict and ne’er do well has more nobility than he as a Westerner could ever hope to have and the only way to gain nobility is to become like the third-worlder in customs, mannerisms, and culture.

As such we ink our skin like the savages of old thinking that by doing so we will gain in our “coolness factor.” (And what else is being cool except a new version of being noble?) As such we pierce our body parts like the pagan South Sea Islanders of old thinking that by piercing our bodies we are cleansing our souls. As such we fornicate like the savages we once conquered even going as far as bringing it into the Church.

Civilizations wax and wane. This appears to be our waning time.

d’Aubigne on Principles

Principles, it is said, have no modesty. It is their nature to rule and they steadily assert their privilege. Do they encounter other principles in their paths that would dispute their empire, they give battle immediately. A principle never rests until it has gained the victory, and it cannot be otherwise – with it to reign is to live. If it does not reign supreme it dies.

McAtee Queries Piper

“Jesus strikes the note that the dominant (not the only) way Christians will show the supreme value of our treasure in heaven is by being so freed from the love of this world and so satisfied with the hope of glory that we are able to love our enemies and not return evil for evil, even as we expect to be wronged in this world.”

Dr. John Piper
Should Christians Be Encouraged to Arm Themselves? —  2015

Bret responds,

a.) Why would Dr. Piper suppose that self defense means that those defending themselves no longer have as their supreme value our treasure in heaven? All because we take the 6th commandment seriously does it, therefore, mean that we are not freed from the love of this world?

b.) Why would Dr. Piper think, that firing a weapon in defense of the judicially innocent against the wicked, who would unjustly and without biblical warrant take the life of children and women, be an example of returning evil for evil?

c.) Why would Dr. Piper think that because we expect to be wronged in this world therefore we should do everything we can to facilitate being wronged in this world? When Dr. Piper is wrongly accused of some heinous crime he committed while doing counseling does he not defend himself against such accusations because he expects to be wronged in this world?

d.) I would insist, in keeping with the 6th commandment, that when we return fire upon evil men seeking to take the lives of the judicially innocent we are at that point most certainly not returning evil for evil but are returning good for evil.

Barth on Genesis & Unhistorical History

“When the Bible speaks of the creation of man it does not refer to history as such. The relationship between object and subject that obtains in ordinary history does not obtain in the Genesis account. So we have to speak of unhistorical history.”

Karl Barth
From CVT — The New Modernism — pg. 407

Now the obvious question is; ‘Why does it not obtain?’

And the answer per Barth and all neo-orthodox is because Genesis is Geschichte and not Historie. One must understand that when reading the modern liberal Geschichte is non-temporal saga history that is not history as we normally understand it.
