Shabbos, you are right that this country by what you post was intended for Whites and for Whites only and that comes from the 1790 Constitution Immigration Act.
JewTracer, if the founders were Freemasons and this country is based on liberal construct, the verbiage Asians shall not be U.S. citizens, and the verbiage that only Whites are to be U.S. citizens would not exist in the 1790 Constitution Immigration Act. These statements are absolute and cannot be contradicted and be legal. You are seriously mistaken how my country was formed and who formed it and who it was formed for. I know this is hard for jews to accept since technically jews cannot be U.S. citizens according to the 1790 law. Jews are technically invaders and illegal aliens. Are you an invader? Funny how you spinned this around and state the founders were filth after I posted they wanted America to be White only.
Red Skull, your comments are equally applicable to the dire situation here in Europe, where we haven’t even got freedom of speech.
I’m not sure what will happen first, economic melt-down or soviet style clamp-down. Either way we must make preparations for ‘Der Tag’.
Arguing about religion, whether Catholics or Protestants are right or wrong, is completely pointless. Jews and their globalists friends won’t take religion into consideration when they are unloading the cattle wagons on a snowy Kansas field.
BTW, whatever religion, or none, that the multimillionaire Kennedy clan claim to profess is also a distraction. That bunch of champaigne-socialists wouldn’t piss on a white working man if he was on fire.
“Funny how you spinned this around and state the founders were filth after I posted they wanted America to be White only.”
Really. Isn’t it funny that the founders were so opposed to immigrants and Jews that they never bothered to include any discriminatory provisions in the Constitution itself?
“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, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
Even if some early legal documents were anti-immigration and/or anti-Jew that does not matter, because those positions did not come from the spirit of the Nation as embodied by the Founders and the Constitution.
You cannot posthumously read the Founders minds. It is idiocy to assume for sure that they wanted, in perpetuity, a White-only nation. We can only go by their documents and testiments: which were firmly Progressive and Liberal.

I had not known about the last half of this sentence. Interesting. And typical. This is just one example of how EVERY war we have gotten involved in has resulted in our government making more concessions to minorities and reducing the restrictions ever further, in order to ensure loyalty, obtain cooperation, get more draftable material, etc. Our more recent wars (in the past half century) have also resulted in a flood of war brides, refugees, displaced persons, and asylum seekers, all pouring in with virtually guaranteed admission. Not to mention the illegitimate offspring conceived by US soldiers abroad.
My point is that every war we’ve been in has had a destructive demographic effect on the majority US population, further diluting and weakening it. War has also (especially since WW2) resulted in a general militarization of American society and culture. War movies and novels, soldiers, military life, became popular subjects, as they never were before. Military lingo invaded the language. In the 40s, virtually all Hollywood was in uniform or serving in some capacity. Nobody objected because this was “the good war” and everything about it was above criticism. After that, nothing was ever the same again. Movies and programs such as MASH and “I Dream of Jeanie” would not have existed before WW2 [forget the technology]. After the war, they were acceptable, even normal. Military themes and military families had become a common part of American society. Their presence henceforth was unquestioned. We became – and remained – a militarized society, far more so that we realized, as it has become so accustomed.
But again, aside from militarism’s deleterious effects on American culture, war’s worst effect on us was always demographic. With every war, our gates have opened wider, our barriers have fallen lower. I have never been particularly pacificist or anti-war myself, but just observing these inescapable facts forced me to realize that virtually ALL of our wars have been bad for us — although they have certainly been good for the profiteers who’ve grown rich on them. In short, it seems that all of our wars (with other powers, that is), probably since 1813, have been more destructive and harmful than not. From that assessment I would exclude our Indian “wars”, which I would consider more as “conflicts” than [international] wars in any traditional sense.
The only potentially good war the US ever fought was against Mexico in 1846. But the US didn’t kick out all the Indians and Mestizoes from its new territories after the war like it should have. President Polk should have ordered all of those Greasers and Injuns to be removed south of the Rio Grande when he had the chance. The US could have even purchased Baja California from Mexico in 1848, but Congress didn’t want to spend a few extra million for it.
Herr Ein is correct about the militaristic orientation of American pop-culture. I really hated all that anti-Russian propaganda coming out of Hollywood in the 80s. I didn’t see it as a crusade against Communism, but rather a Jewish attempt to stir up hatred between two White nations. I used to hear a lot of young White guys back then talk about how they wanted to “nuke” Russia and then “nuke” Iran. But there was never any talk about wanting to “nuke” Israel, a country that deliberately attacked an unarmed US Navy vesssel and killed 134 American sailors.

As they’ve done so many times before!

Yes. Exactly. So did I.
They were all hot and keyed up to go over and bomb Russia. They didn’t know exactly why. It was just an evil place that deserved bombing.
(After all, Soviet Jews were being persecuted, were they not?)

GREAT POST! Took the words out of my mouth ! Thank you !
“This is just one example of how EVERY war we have gotten involved in has resulted in our government making more concessions to minorities and reducing the restrictions ever further, in order to ensure loyalty, obtain cooperation, get more draftable material, etc. “
Yes, and to purchase domestic tranquility at home, forestall subversion, prevent riots, etc. In other words, it was blackmail money.
In every case, we had to BUY peace at home in order to WAGE WAR abroad. And all to whose benefit? Certainly not ours. Yes, the “elites” profited handsomely, but “We The People” didn’t. We only furnished the cannon fodder. And then we came home to find integrated neighborhoods, schools, and jobs.
“Our more recent wars (in the past half century) have also resulted in a flood of war brides, refugees, displaced persons, and asylum seekers, all pouring in with virtually guaranteed admission. Not to mention the illegitimate offspring conceived by US soldiers abroad.”
And often black offspring, this should be noted. Another way of undermining White America.

The Freemasonic Liberal entity that is the USA now and always ultimately does not matter. It should not be hard to let it go.
What ultimately matters is the survival of our race, in North American lands and elsewhere.

1917 The Jones-Shafroth Act grants US citizenship to Puerto Ricans, provided that they can be recruited by the US military.
I had not known about the last half of this sentence. Interesting. And typical. This is just one example of how EVERY war we have gotten involved in has resulted in our government making more concessions to minorities and reducing the restrictions ever further, in order to ensure loyalty, obtain cooperation, get more draftable material, etc. Our more recent wars (in the past half century) have also resulted in a flood of war brides, refugees, displaced persons, and asylum seekers, all pouring in with virtually guaranteed admission. Not to mention the illegitimate offspring conceived by US soldiers abroad.
My point is that every war we’ve been in has had a destructive demographic effect on the majority US population, further diluting and weakening it. War has also (especially since WW2) resulted in a general militarization of American society and culture. War movies and novels, soldiers, military life, became popular subjects, as they never were before. Military lingo invaded the language. In the 40s, virtually all Hollywood was in uniform or serving in some capacity. Nobody objected because this was “the good war” and everything about it was above criticism. After that, nothing was ever the same again. Movies and programs such as MASH and “I Dream of Jeanie” would not have existed before WW2 [forget the technology]. After the war, they were acceptable, even normal. Military themes and military families had become a common part of American society. Their presence henceforth was unquestioned. We became – and remained – a militarized society, far more so that we realized, as it has become so accustomed.
But again, aside from militarism’s deleterious effects on American culture, war’s worst effect on us was always demographic. With every war, our gates have opened wider, our barriers have fallen lower. I have never been particularly pacificist or anti-war myself, but just observing these inescapable facts forced me to realize that virtually ALL of our wars have been bad for us — although they have certainly been good for the profiteers who’ve grown rich on them. In short, it seems that all of our wars (with other powers, that is), probably since 1813, have been more destructive and harmful than not. From that assessment I would exclude our Indian “wars”, which I would consider more as “conflicts” than [international] wars in any traditional sense.

The only potentially good war the US ever fought was against Mexico in 1846. But the US didn’t kick out all the Indians and Mestizoes from its new territories after the war like it should have. President Polk should have ordered all of those Greasers and Injuns to be removed south of the Rio Grande when he had the chance. The US could have even purchased Baja California from Mexico in 1848, but Congress didn’t want to spend a few extra million for it.
Herr Ein is correct about the militaristic orientation of American pop-culture. I really hated all that anti-Russian propaganda coming out of Hollywood in the 80s. I didn’t see it as a crusade against Communism, but rather a Jewish attempt to stir up hatred between two White nations. I used to hear a lot of young White guys back then talk about how they wanted to “nuke” Russia and then “nuke” Iran. But there was never any talk about wanting to “nuke” Israel, a country that deliberately attacked an unarmed US Navy vesssel and killed 134 American sailors.

As they’ve done so many times before!

Yes. Exactly. So did I.
They were all hot and keyed up to go over and bomb Russia. They didn’t know exactly why. It was just an evil place that deserved bombing.
(After all, Soviet Jews were being persecuted, were they not?)

“This is just one example of how EVERY war we have gotten involved in has resulted in our government making more concessions to minorities and reducing the restrictions ever further, in order to ensure loyalty, obtain cooperation, get more draftable material, etc. “
Yes, and to purchase domestic tranquility at home, forestall subversion, prevent riots, etc. In other words, it was blackmail money.
In every case, we had to BUY peace at home in order to WAGE WAR abroad. And all to whose benefit? Certainly not ours. Yes, the “elites” profited handsomely, but “We The People” didn’t. We only furnished the cannon fodder. And then we came home to find integrated neighborhoods, schools, and jobs.
“Our more recent wars (in the past half century) have also resulted in a flood of war brides, refugees, displaced persons, and asylum seekers, all pouring in with virtually guaranteed admission. Not to mention the illegitimate offspring conceived by US soldiers abroad.”
And often black offspring, this should be noted. Another way of undermining White America.

Like the peasants of Eastern Europe say, wars are the Jews’ harvest.
