Back in the ’70s, school kids were taught to chant “It’s Only a Clump of Cells” to depersonalize a growing human child in the womb. The ‘70s kids came to believe that lie, and then use that slogan to justify aborting their own children as they became adults, parents, politicians, and voters. And then the lie was repeated for two generations.
Today the hot slogan is “No Human Being is Illegal!”
It is a popular virtue-signaling slogan, now being used to justify uncontrolled illegal immigration. If Biden tries to federalize and then control a sovereign state’s National Guard, he will need to enshrine that false slogan as truth to justify twisting Title 10, Section 333.
This law allows the president to federalize a state’s National Guard when “any part or class of its people” are “deprived of a right, privilege, immunity, or protection named in the Constitution and secured by law” when “the constituted authorities of that State are unable, fail, or refuse to protect that right, privilege, or immunity, or to give that protection.”
In this case, Biden would argue that illegal aliens, even though guilty of criminal acts, are a “class of its people,” which is to say they are American and Texas citizens and, further, that illegally crossing the border is a right “named in the Constitution and secured by law.”
This is how lies become the foundation of law. People first must believe the lies. Then weaponized courts codify the lies as truth. And then culture becomes death-culture.
A few weeks ago, an image went viral. In Belgium a migrant used the eternal flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to cook an omelette. For many, the desecration brought to mind a quote from French author Jean Raspail, written in 1973 in his novel Camp of the Saints, about a sudden invasion of Muslim, Indian and African migrants into France:
“Your universe has no meaning to them. They will not try to understand. They will be tired, they will be cold, they will make a fire with your beautiful oak door.”
“Beware of two errors: despising the world God sustains, or worshipping the culture He restrains.”
— Abraham Kuyper, Common Grace Vol. 1, Ch. 30
"[Successful NY Mayoral candidate] Mamdani built his campaign on the infrastructure of the Democratic Socialists of America. The DSA and its city allies can dispatch activists across New York and, with a network of progressive partner organizations, can mobilize young people, get out the vote, and do the work of door-to-door politics.
"We saw this dynamic many times in the twentieth century: socialists rise to power, their policies degrade the quality of life, and, as they enter the endgame, they tighten their grip on power and offload resentments onto their ideological, racial, and economic enemies.
"...the twentieth century taught us that left-wing voters have extraordinary defenses against reality."
-- Christopher Rufo
