How the Gods of Globalism Slit the Throat of Assimilation

By Susan D. Harris

The multiculturalist army, the interfaith fighters and the soldiers of diversity have been an unchecked scourge; slitting the throat of assimilation in every country they’ve invaded.  Most importantly, here in the U.S., they’ve been knife-gutting everything we hold dear.  The abortion activists are killing the babies and the gays are killing traditional marriage and procreation.  Illegal immigrants are bleeding us financially, filling our prisons, turning us into drug addicts, gang members, encouraging jihad and saying there is “no need to assimilate.”  While we were grimacing over our shoulders at Karl Marx, blaming an old ideology for our current woes, a new generation of Globalists were paying the back taxes and buying the farm right out from under us.

There are a million Globalist organizations running this country right now, right down to the Google Earth crosshairs on your home.  You might be able to identify them by the New Age drivel on their websites, but you probably don’t comprehend that they’re not only having a direct impact on your community, schools, friends and family; they are your community leaders and school board; they are your friends and family.

If you want to know how many interfaith organizations there are, do an internet search for the name of your town (or a nearby town), then add the word “interfaith.”  You’ll soon find a vast army at the disposal of the Globalists.  From those interfaith websites, read what other organizations they’re involved with; who’s funding them.

This new Globalism has blended various political, economic and religious ideologies into a massive tsunami of Western destruction.  It’s not even George Soros’ Open Society anymore…it has become its own Frankenstein; but I think the mad doctor is happy with his monster.

Its head is the interfaith movement, its torso multiculturalism, its arms diversity and its legs pluralism.  Its feet are climate change lies that will walk us into the lions’ mouth.  Within each of these are thousands more organizations like Auburn Seminary who are ready for “such a time as this.”  Revolution, cultural change, social upheaval — they state their goals with the calmness of a PowerPoint presentation at a board meeting.

Much of the immediate change is coming from community embedded interfaith organizations.  There’s a partial list of them sitting over on the Harvard website under something called the “Pluralism Project.”  The project, funded by the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations, was formerly headed by feminist Wiccan Grove Harris, who wrote extensively for the “Paganism” section of a project titled “On Common Ground: World Religions in America.”  A book written about the Interfaith Youth Movement, states that Harris “writes about how imagery in her Wiccan faith contributes to how she manages the most important research project on religious diversity in the U.S., and the Pluralism Project at Harvard…”

Diane Eck is currently listed as “founder and director” of the Pluralism Project.  Like Goldie Hawn’s vast Mindfulness movement, Eck’s entire life education centers around the “divine” and “sacred” of eastern mysticism.

Before I comment any further on Eck, let me prove the mindfulness movement is indeed “vast.”  It’s an important point because this godless, New Age knockoff of Transcendental Meditation is part and parcel of the multicultural/interfaith/diversity/pluralism movements.  And yes — it’s even part of the climate change movement.  In other words, it’s another part of the Globalist monster.

Employees at the following companies are being “trained” in it; and more than one has told me it is “required.”

(There are thousands of smaller companies participating under the Mindfulness umbrella; you might be participating in your workplace; or your child might be learning it at school.)

But let’s get back to Diana Eck at the Pluralism Project who seems to be everything to everybody.  Here she is quoted as a “Methodist scholar of religion” in a book about the “spiritual discipline” of Mindfulness.  In reality, her resume reflects the perfect global citizen:  At Harvard, she’s a professor of Religion and Indian studies, law, and Psychiatry in Society; she has a B.A. in religion; an M.A. in South Asian History; and a Ph.D. from Harvard in Comparative Study of Religion.  Apparently no matter what your background, she can make you doubt everything your parents taught you, and probably convince you that you never had parents.

 (At this point, one has to recall William F. Buckley Jr.’s quote:   “I am obliged to confess I should sooner live in a society governed by the first two thousand names in the Boston telephone directory than in a society governed by the two thousand faculty members of Harvard University.”)

The ideas trumpeted by the likes of Diana Eck and Grove Harris about religions “being on common ground” actually exhibit just the opposite of assimilation.  What Globalism wants from us is the total acceptance of everyone else’s world view and culture — at the cost of forfeiting our own.

Without getting too deep into political theory…one can read Nathan Glazer’s 1993 article, “Is Assimilation Dead?” and The Brookings Institutes, “Do We Really Want Immigrants to Assimilate?”  And I’ll only scratch the surface of the Chegg Study which said:

Sociologists commonly distinguish between forced and unforced assimilation. In forced assimilation, a person or group is compelled to take on the practices of another culture, such as by adopting that culture’s language and religious traditions. In unforced assimilation, a person takes on the practices of another culture but is not forcibly compelled to do so.

Yes, the United States had a kind of forced assimilation and that’s what made the melting pot work.  People had to learn English to conduct business, but they were never penalized beyond that for not doing so.  We required everyone to follow the established laws of our society — laws that had their roots in the Ten Commandments.  Conversely however, we did not “force” anyone to adhere to the religion that birthed those laws.  We were so careful not to do so that we wrote, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”  Of course we hoped Christianity would stay the predominant religion, because it was the only religion in the world that was capable of maintaining an order where all other religions could live side by side.

Make no mistake; multiculturalists, interfaith practitioners, diversity proponents and fake pluralists completely reject the idea of the American “melting pot” that assimilation originally created. 

To them, the melting pot is a bad, smelly concoction otherwise known as “Americanism” that diminishes all other cultures and countries; it forces little American flags into unsympathetic foreign fingers who take our hospitality and handouts then spit at us behind our backs.

Coexistence with no messy melting is the greater goal.  The kind of coexistence that means you respect a guy’s right to steal and slaughter horses for his Santeria ritual, while he respects your right to practice Islamic female genital mutilation so your daughter can remain chaste and your wife doesn’t wander.

Assimilation is out — Globalism is in; and the code words are pretty easy if you’re paying attention and not buying into the “throw your gun in the trash and give us a group hug” candlelight vigils.

Knowing the code words lets you know who, what and where to avoid.  Consider if you will the largest Baptist church in my city.  It’s no longer “obviously” a Baptist church.  Many churches have decided to shed “negative perceptions” of churches (i.e. they buckled to secular millennials) and “rebranded” themselves; so this church changed its name to (something similar to) “The Happy Meeting Rooms.”  The Happy Rooms website proudly displays the New Age code words. The pastor’s bio oddly states he is interested in “multiculturalism” and “race issues” like he’s placing an ad on a dating website.  He stressed the Happy Rooms were a place for “all nations” because they were “international” and practiced “inclusivity.”  (Note: Let’s not forget the LGBT agenda falls under nearly all of these code words…here’s one of the top 12 Hospitals and Health Systems in the nation ranked by DiversityInc for “diversity and inclusion” because it’s “an ally of the LGBTQ community.”)

Jesus Christ made it clear that no one on earth could come to know God unless they believed that he, Jesus Christ, was the son of God; but he also made it clear that his message was open to every living person.  (That belief is best explained here, though I do not know the website well enough to endorse it entirely.)  Jesus also preached what our forefathers eventually memorialized with the words:  “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights…”

So why would a church go out of their way to tell people they are “multicultural;” that they’re for “all nations” and “honor inclusivity?”  I decided to email the pastor asking just that. Surprisingly, he didn’t respond; but he did add a sentence to his website saying they “celebrated diversity in classes, cultures and colors.”  I don’t know how many more Globalist code words he could work in, but it’s clear he’s happy to be in a sanctuary city sponsoring community barbeques at the local mosques.

Surely one of the planned goals of the interfaith movement is the stifling of the “great commission.”  For 2000 years Christians have set out to witness for Jesus Christ; that is to say their goal was/is to win souls for Christ.  It’s a dirty word now…dare I say they want to convert people to their faith in order to save them from what the Christian bible teaches is eternal damnation.  Most believed they were required to do this in part due to a passage from Ezekiel.  It seems to be a boasting achievement of Globalism that Christians are being forced to shut down their “offensive” version of Jesus being the “only way;” set aside their antiquated Bibles, and listen to the greater faiths of the world…or abandon religion altogether.  In other words, “Stop causing trouble so you can come join the party.”

What have they really done when they’ve swept away Christianity, or relegated it’s “former” interpretation to the ash heap of history?

Michael Savage probably answered that best when he spoke as a guest on his own radio show March 30.  Originally coming on air to greet his listeners for Good Friday and the beginning of Passover, he ended up giving an informal, but very poignant speech:

Let’s never forget, that while there are other religions in this country, and so many non-believers; without Christianity, there would be no America…because all the founding fathers — they were not Buddhist, they were not Muslim, they were not Hindus, they were devout Christians.  They came to the new world to practice their religion in peace, and they opened their doors to all other religions, so they could practice their religions in peace.  And it worked pretty well until now.  Now we have people coming in…that adhere to a total alien god, not the god of the West…I said ‘This country cannot survive.”  Freedom of religion is not freedom to kill in the name of your religion…not license to hate those of other religions…it does not give you the right to spit on our flag.  You’ve got children being brought into this country…from…the Middle East…Africa…from nations where there’s nothing but bloodshed and mayhem and hatred.  And they come here like my grandfather did to find peace and harmony and a new life…and yet you have some of them being told by the ACLU, by George Soros’ front groups, to tell that teacher that you find the American flag…the National Anthem…offensive.  In the name of these malcontents, these fronts, we’re supposed to take our flags down and stop (singing) the National Anthem and saying the Pledge of Allegiance?  That’s what has been happening in this nation…I’ve just got to say, this country cannot survive its traitors and its subversives.  The only way this country can survive is if we all wake up to the fact they’re much more organized than we are.  There are too many of them, and they’re tearing the country apart, starting with the littlest school room and ending up with the streets themselves.

The Globalists are anti-Christ, anti-America, and anti-family.  And don’t buy the red herring propaganda that “Globalist” is an anti-Semitic slur; Globalists would like to see the Jewish people run off their land and handed to the Muslims.

It seems inevitable that one masterful force will grab all these loose reins; that some person, country or institution will harness the incredible, hateful energy now surreptitiously slithering through America and the world.  The question becomes:  What will they do with us when they finally get us where they want us?

Keep Your Family Close: A New Year’s Tale on What Might Have Been

Above: My grandfather John Henry with his second family – Mina (my grandmother) and one of their five children.

 

Every year at this time, traders at the New York Stock Exchange rededicate themselves to carrying on the 100+ year tradition of singing “Wait ‘Till the Sun Shines Nellie.”  Sung on both Christmas and New Year’s Eve, it’s a yearly reminder of another story that originated over 100 years ago.

The story I have to tell begins with a little wagon — handcrafted in 1913 as a gift by John Henry for his young son Lynn — though his son would never see it.  For years it was stowed away, almost hidden, in John Henry’s barn.  When John Henry was much older, he pulled the wagon out from under the hay in the barn loft and told the story of the wagon to the first and only person to hear it.

He told a story of meeting and marrying a beautiful young wife Nellie; how she gave birth to their son Lynn; then to their daughter Nellie May three years later.  Nellie May was a strong, healthy baby, but her mother Nellie, as was sadly common in those days, died a few days after childbirth.  John Henry was now a widower left alone to care for his two small children.

Somehow he managed, and well into the next summer, with increasing eagerness, he began working on a wagon for his son’s third birthday.  As bees buzzed and August grew hotter, a panic began to bubble, trickle, and then roar through town — just like the river split it.

A cholera epidemic was sweeping through the community; reports of the dead and dying gripped families in fear.  Suddenly, little Lynn was sick and dead before his father had even grasped what was happening; before he’d even gotten to see his wagon.  Anxiously the father watched over Nellie May’s crib — hoping she would be spared.  She was not.  Within one week, he had lost both children.  This meant he had lost his entire family within the space of one year. 

A newspaper article told of John Henry’s “extreme bereavement,” and the story spread to newspapers around the region.

How did the grief-stricken man find the faith to survive?  Surely it was his faith in God…and eventually the comfort of a widowed woman with whom he formed a special bond that turned into a lifelong love.

His marriage to Mina was a happy one that would produce five children.  Sometimes, though, when John Henry was especially happy, he would forget himself and sing the song he used to sing to the bride of his youth: “Wait Till the Sun Shines Nellie.” Then he would catch himself and stop.

Though Mina knew she shouldn’t, she couldn’t help but feel almost hurt when she’d hear him singing it.  Since she and the children knew of his first family and the tragedy that had befallen them, the song inevitably formed an unspoken cloud of sadness as they were reminded of their father’s loss so many years before.

Besides the song that he’d sung to Nellie in happy times, John Henry never spoke of his first family – that is, until one day when he was in the barn with his youngest child, Benjamin, now a young man.  Perhaps it was because he was particularly close to Benjamin that he did it, but John Henry went to the loft and pulled out the little wagon – and talked about Lynn for the first and last time.  Benjamin would be the only one to hear the story of the ungiven gift and the only one to see the fine handiwork his father had created for a half-brother he’d never known.

One day, while still a child myself, I saw a news clip of the New York Stock Exchange and the traders singing “Wait Till the Sun Shines Nellie.”  Just beginning my lifelong love of old music, I decided to learn it and sing it for my parents.

As I began to sing, my parents looked shocked, stopped me, and wondered where on Earth I learned such an old song.  I told them about the stock exchange…but they simply suggested that it was best I didn’t sing it.

Finally, sometime in my teens, I asked why the “Nellie” song wasn’t to be sung in our house.  It was then that my mother told me the story of John Henry – my grandfather – and his first family.  Then she told me of the little wagon he had shown my father, Benjamin.  Now I understood why it was best that I not add the song to my repertoire.

My grandfather was born in 1887, and since he lived to a ripe old age, I was blessed to know him.  He visited us regularly.
Still, it seemed strange to me that an event that happened over sixty years before still carried any weight in my family.  Perhaps it was because of the disturbing reality that if that first family had lived, my father would have never been born.  My family would have never existed!

Due to a wide span of time, my grandfather and I did not share the Earth long enough for me to ask him all the questions I would have liked.  Even my father admitted that due to joining the Navy so young, then raising his own family, he’d also never thought to ask his father questions until it was too late.

For instance, my grandfather had made only one mention (that anyone could remember) of his second cousin, Clara, who attended the theater with President Lincoln when he was assassinated.  After all, it was a hot day, and we were all going for ice cream…so the conversation ended short, and the subject was never broached again.  It was only just before he died – when he gave us the book of our family genealogy – that we realized how little Grandpa ever mentioned and how little we’d ever asked.

(Maybe, as this new year begins, we should add a resolution to ask our older family members questions like “Where were you when…?”  We might just find out how we got where we are now.)

After my grandfather’s talk with my father in the barn, the little wagon from 1913 was never seen again.  Perhaps, like the small sled “Rosebud” in the movie Citizen Kane, it sizzled into obscurity in a furnace where no one knew its history – and where no one had ever heard the song “Wait Till the Sun Shines Nellie.”

~END~CHEERS!

 

BLOG POST: I don’t usually blog but…New Year’s Eve 2013…

new years eve

I don’t usually “blog.” I try to keep my writing to a certain standard and not jabber on with my personal views. I am making one exception today. 

Man what a rotten New Years Eve TV wise. And I mean this in a MUCH bigger way than “Gee, the TV shows weren’t much.”

I know I know, some of you go to bed, never watch – but this is my take after decades of watching…

So we had what? Kathy Griffin, that immoral trollop over with Anderson (all the gay guys watch me cuz I’m gay) Cooper. They had Melissa (all the lesbians watch me cuz I’m gay) Etheridge and some other guests. Just a nice little end-of-days romp in the woods. (CNN was obviously so impressed with Griffin’s simulated oral sex on Anderson last year that they brought her back again!)

Bill Hemmer and Elisabeth Hasselbeck – B-O-R-I-N-G. Hasselbeck was no Megyn Kelly, and although I’m not a HUGE Kelly fan, her absence on New Years Eve made Hasselbeck look like someone’s 10-year-old little sister was “trying” to fill in.

Meanwhile, they get Megyn Kelly LIVE on the phone closer to midnight, who shows a couple of pics and talks about some Mardi Gras-like-cheesy-place she is spending New Years Eve with “her man.” Complete with belly dancers (she said.) It sounded more like they were at a New Orleans brothel and you just kinda went, “ewwww.” BUT – according to Kelly – she never wanted to be anywhere else for New Years ever again! Yee haw.

Meanwhile Phil Keating was in South Beach Florida, a hellhole of hedonistic immorality. He kept trying to talk to people there thru the night and most everyone either looked like they wanted to kill him or walked away from him. (Some were so far drugged out they couldn’t respond or even walk). Others were just kinda like…”Hey.” Um….okay.

At some point, Fox News said we were going to watch Susan Boyle sing Auld Lang Syne. Well….kinda. They put her up in a box in the corner of the screen and then played highlights from the night – complete with audio overtaking her voice. That was total chaos. Original idea probably sounded good in someone’s drunken head.

And then just a quick word about Times Square. How sick is it that everyone is herded into pens – LITERALLY – HOURS before the ball drops – can’t leave even to go to the bathroom or get a hot cocoa. Well, you COULD, you just can’t come back. Really.Everyone has to be under 30 – I estimate, in top physical condition, and willing to stay in wind chills most people couldn’t tolerate while not drinking or going to the bathroom! It’s sick! But oh boy! They’ve got those stupid blue Nivea balloons and hats every year to keep them happy. Can anyone say POLICE STATE? (And great to have a German company promote themselves year after year in America’s most internationally viewed television event. Oh, and by the way, in 2011 Nivea published a map on their website that conveniently LEFT OFF ISRAEL. Great to know there aren’t any Nazi’s left over there.)

Dick Clark’s Rockin New Years Eve – um. Yeah. That went to the dogs years ago. If I see one more black man come out with the whole “homeboy vaudeville shtick” I’m gonna puke. Wow – look, I’m tough – I walk and talk like a gang member – love me! And of course – none of them can sing. They just come out and chant mindless rhymes. Impressive if you’re 5. (If only Bill Cosby could have come out and given them that “serious” look and thrown them off the stage.)

Then there was the Duck Dynasty interview…. Somebody wake me when it’s over. Bill Hemmer: “What’s coming up in the next season?”

“Well, we’ve got a lot of stuff going on.”

“Who is the first to break their New Years Resolutions?”

“We don’t really make any” (an answer I actually kinda liked because I get sick of hearing people talk about “resolutions” and I got the idea the Duck Dynasty guy didn’t give a rats bum about it either. Actually he and his wife looked like they didn’t give a rats bum about anything in particular.)

….you got the picture. The Duck Dynasty couple were nice enough, but it was like pulling two random people off the street! And when there was nothing left to ask them…Hemmer and Elisabeth kept asking them MORE questions that weren’t interesting and they had no interesting answers for.

Just did a Google search and found out it was Melissa Etheridge who sang John Lennon’s “Imagine” in Times Square. Surprised to find most other people also said she completely slaughtered it. I abhor the song because of it’s lyrics, but you have to admit that to the EAR anyway – the MELODY and Lennon’s voice are quite soothing. I said to mom – “Wow, they couldn’t even play Lennon, someone is SLAUGHTERING IT!”

Miley Cyrus, whom everyone had previously agreed was some sort of Satanic elf run amok seemed to get praises from on-air anchors last night – and at the very least promoted in a positive light. Hemmer and Elisabeth even promoted her – smiling and showing a clip from a video as she stuck her tongue out and spanked an obese black woman who was gladly bent over. Wow. That was FUN.

Look, I don’t tune in for a church service. If people want to get a little crazy – fine. But at least entertain. There was NO entertainment.

In Nashville, the music note dropped as three guys – perhaps one of them Hank Williams Jr. who we were told had performed but we never really saw – slaughtered Auld Lang Syne as they stumbled about the stage with their backs mostly to the audience.

(In the nearest city to me, we could hear the fireworks from our First Night celebration. We don’t have New Year’s Eve, we have First Night – originally started by a bunch of Boston hippies and was supposed to not emphasize alcohol consumption. (Excuse me while I laugh). So, basically all the liberal “artistic” people and gang members go downtown in a chaotic mess of “hidden” drugs and alcohol and have a whooping good time. The fights, arrests and stabbings are usually covered up. Only a gunshot makes it to the news when it happens.)

In short, New Year’s Eve – on television – was a colossal let down. Actually, it made one want to retire from society completely. At the very least one wanted to take a shower and try to scrub off the acquired filth.

If anyone wanted to confirm that civilized society – as we used to know it – is dead…last night did it. If anyone wants to confirm that humor, comedy and intelligence are dead…last night did that too.
