Open Borders and their “Unintended” Consequences

W R Collier Jr July 12, 2014

REPORT
Bill Collier

There are those who believe that borders are bad, that there should be no borders. Indeed, they go on t elaborate that there should be no states or “national homelands” for that matter. Ron Paul and others like him are of that same mind, at least regarding open borders.

But states can and must exist, and, separate from states and governments, homelands for Peoples can and must exist. This is of practical necessity, and it is Biblical. Consider the whole Tower of Babel and how God Himself punished the first attempt at a universal global state. Consider Acts 17 where the Apostle Paul actually says that God pre-determines the “habitation” (or physical territory) for “nations” (Peoples or national peope groups). Consider that Romans 13 actually prescribes the role and God-ordained functions of a state or government.

Whether one believes the Bible to be of Divine inspiration or a collection of writings which express generationally-obtained wisdom, it should be clear that such institutions as governments or sovereign states and homelands that are exclusive to national people groups are a necessary part of the human experience.

If states and homelands are necessary, whether because we have learned so from God or thousands of years of human experience, then borders are also necessary. When you remove a border, you both destroy the sovereign state and any national people’s homeland.

Indeed, the reason the natives who occupied the North American continent lost both their pseudo-states and their homelands was because they could not or did not maintain a border. The people who use the fact that “white men” came in and “took” these lands have simply forgotten or ignored that the lack of a border means that the land is in fact “up for grabs.” This is not a moral statement or value judgment, this is just an unavoidable reality. If you cannot preserve your borders, you cannot preserve a contiguous national people group or sovereign state.

The current border crisis is one of an open border. It is being left open for many reasons, among which are the desire of one political group to obtain a new voting block by importing supporters, as well as the interests of an economic class who wants to keep the labor pool over-filled to keep the cost of labor down.

Those short term advantages however, will result in exactly what happened to the former “owners” of these lands; without a border, the sovereign state cannot maintain its security and national people groups lose their exclusive control over their homeland.

When one removes themselves from the purely political view of this crisis and looks instead at the historical view, it is easy enough to see that the current open border policy can only lead to the importation of hostile and dangerous elements (criminal. as well as terrorist) who wish to harm the sovereign state and facilitate the loss of the once exclusive homeland to the mass of invaders. The future for both the American sovereign state and any homeland for its national people groups is dim.

Ironically, the “Native Americans” who make being a member of their tribe a condition of residence in their “reservations” are better equipped to weather whatever storm is coming: their now truncated homelands are least likely to be over-taken. And if the American sovereign state is threatened, their reservation governments can act as an alternative to that withered state, should it ever come to that.

The future for both the American state and any national homelands for ANY of its national people-groups (save the “native Americans”) is dim so long as the present open border policy prevails. Without a secure and well controlled border neither the state nor any homeland can survive.

Millennials- Are They Following The gods Of Their Loins?

W R Collier Jr July 12, 2014

FREEDOM ESSAY
Bill Collier

Recent surveys reveal that millenials are mostly in favor of being “socially liberal.” In other words they are for abortion, gay marriage, and legalization of drugs for “recreational” uses. Many politicians in the GOP are taking note and, in a bid to obtain the vote of millennials, modifying their stance.

But millennials also value freedom, prosperity, fairness, and opportunity, according to these surveys. Indeed they are socially liberal and fiscally more conservative, although they tend to vote from a perspective of “social liberalism”, which favor the Democrats who champion this rejection of traditional morality as enlightenment.

Here then is my response to those millennials who have embraced the belief that moral virtue is intolerance and being immoral by “traditional” standards is “enlightenment”.

If you want freedom, fairness, prosperity, and opportunity then denying the need for moral virtue only ensures you that you will not get any of these things. When we cannot define marriage in a manner that is most conducive to mothers and fathers raising their own children, we adopt a “world as spoil” ethos that is going to produce more decadence and more corruption. People who follow the gods of their loins have no difficulty cheating, lying, or, in general, adopting a distrustful and corrupt pattern of behavior.

As I see it, millennials have been brainwashed by hedonists in our education system to embrace a libertine view, an “anything goes” morality, or a-morality, that is more focused on “saving the planet” than actual self-control. Discarding the ancient wisdom of thousands of generations by saying drug use, “gay marriage”, and abortion are all “good” is hubris but, worse, embracing such unhealthy practices (unhealthy for body and soul) is dangerous for the well-being of society itself.

So it would seem that baby boomers have intervened and taught their grandchildren to follow strange “gods”, namely the gods of their loins, and this cannot end well.

As Millennials grow up and see the diseases, the broken families, the crime, and the economic and political corruption that must follow their moral decadence, they are likely to become much less open minded about the promotion of sexual promiscuity (and “experimentation”) and legalized inebriation as matters of official policy. Or they will fail to make the connection between cause and effect and continue to seek government subsidization to fix the problem their own immorality is causing.

Politicians who pander to the millennials’ penchant for following the gods of their loins are digging the grave for their sovereign state. In the end, the gods of our loins are gods that terrorize and kill, tear down and destroy. They promise pleasure without pain, but give only fleeting pleasure and then endless pain. Instead of pandering, true leaders should be pushing the truth, that those who reject the moral virtues that our society has learned from its ancient roots to be most useful for its well-being will end up opening themselves up to all manners of corrupt consequences.

Moral laws are not arbitrary, they are objective. To disregard them must necessarily cause negative consequences for the entire society. True freedom and prosperity is not compatible with immorality disguised as tolerance.

Wake up millennials, you could be throwing your entire civilization’s future away with your embrace of the gods of the loins. This licentious worldview is not cutting edge, it is mainstream and conventional in today’s American culture. Like lemmings, you are heading towards the cliff with the pack, racing to your own destruction.

The Coders Rule

The Coders Rule

Those who WRITE THE CODE actually RULE virtual communities, because the code tells you what you can and cannot do by literally placing “digital” limits that are structurally unbreakable. This is something none of us can hope to ever escape from! Try as you might, if you use someone else’s platform, you are just “renting” and the “landlord” makes all the rules, rules that you either submit to or that, when broken, get you thrown out!

So what about those of us who are not that technically driven?

AT THE VERY LEAST we MUST become

War Warning- Israel Versus Hamas

W R Collier Jr July 8, 2014

Khaled Meshaal, Hamas leader, has vowed to wipe Israel off the map.

We issue a war warning for Israel versus Hamas over the next 7 days. This could involve low intensity operations including limited strikes via attack helicopters and drones by Israel and acts of terrorism and continued rocket exchanges by Hamas. However, there is a less probable chance that the war between the two foes could escalate significantly, especially if reports of Hamas stockpiling longer range rockets and what has been describe as a “mass of anti tank weapons” are true.

It would appear that Hamas wants to have a door to door battle with Israel and believes they have the means of disabling Israeli armor and thereby causing serious harm to any invading troops, with the hope of capturing dozens or even hundreds of Israeli soldiers and using them as a bargaining chip.

It does not appear that Hamas is working in cooperation or coordination with outside powers, other than being certain of Iran and Hezbollah giving material support. But this does not rule out the possibility that outside powers will not take advantage of the situation, especially the newly proclaimed “Caliphate” which has seized lands in Syria and Iraq and which envisions a Middle East without Israel or any of the current nations, a Middle East ruled by their new “Caliph”, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

Meanwhile, Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal had claimed that his organization was not behind the kidnapping of the three Jewish teens whose deaths sparked the current crisis. There has been no positive proof of the cause or actors behind this murder and it may in fact be a criminal undertaking. That being said, the leader of Hamas has apparently given his approval for the escalation of rocket and mortar fire into Israel. Israel blames the Hamas leadership for the abductions, but some believe this to be a “cynical exploitation” of events to provide an excuse for a “final showdown” with Hamas.

While Hamas is firing rockets, the driving force behind events at this point appears to be Israel’s Prime Minister. Benjamin Netenyahu, who appears willing to risk a ground operation in Gaza to once and for all settle the score with Hamas. While the Arabs, including Fatah’s Abbas, are publicly condemning Israel, not a few of them will secretly be rooting for Hamas’s demise, and that in short order. Hamas is a Salafist organization that shares the views of groups like the so-called “Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant” (ISIL), which views go against the thinking of most normal Muslims and against all the Arab states in the region that fight against Salafism and are pursuing a path of tolerance and. some might claim. “enlightened Islam”.

The players are Hamas and the Israeli government with most Arabs giving lip service to the Gazans while secretly wishing Hamas would in fact just go away. Therefore effective measures against Israel are not likely unless their operations extend to Fatah or include plans to do anything but turn over a “liberated” Gaza to Fatah and Arab, albeit not Salafist, control.

With all of this in mind, Israel is poised to go into full scale war with Hamas and if Hamas is as well equipped as some fear, outside powers such as Hezbollah, Iran, and ISIL, will no doubt seek ways to take advantage of the situation, even though Iran and ISIL are enemies themselves. the fact that Hamas is targeting Jerusalem is indeed offensive to Muslims themselves and this could indicate a certain radical desperation.

Currently, Israeli air strikes are hitting Gaza in waves, with 10 Arab casualties, among whom 4 were listed as civilians and possibly children, while Hamas and Islamic Jihad continue to fire rockets into Israel, including towards Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Israel’s military spokesman has stated that Hamas has “gone over a line” and, regardless of whether they stop rocket attacks, “they will be made to pay”, which he noted must involve deteriorating their rocket launching capability and targeting both their leadership and their organizational infrastructure. The main problem with this stance is that it effectively removes the incentive for Hamas to step back. If Hamas feels that this is the FINAL BATTLE they will likely unleash everything they have, and outside actors may become engaged, such as Hezbollah and Iran especially.

Commentary- I Am An American Freedom Seeker

W R Collier Jr June 15, 2014

By Bill Collier-

I am an American “Freedom Seeker”- this means I believe that true freedom is an American mission and extending freedom is part of our destiny as a People and a Nation, and that even our State (the governments, their agencies, the territory governed by them, and the citizens who own those governments) ought to be guided by this “freedom vision.”

I stand for the values of moral virtue, personal liberty, and local independence as the basis of true freedom for all, regardless of anything except the content of their character, with equality of opportunity in a true free market based on one’s participation in a fair exchange, with equitability and equality of justice, and with a public commitment to preserve the persons, rights, and property of all Americans against all hazards, foreign or domestic- and that, so help me God!

I recognize that the evils of elitism, racism, bigotry, exploitation, and both social and economic justice require a people-powered approach (led by private persons and communities of faith or of other shared values) and encouraged by a robust public policy that rewards those who do good for others and punishes those who do evil toward others.

I value life, equality, liberty, justice, fatherhood and motherhood as the foundation of a healthy family unit, a pacific foreign policy built on the foundation of a strong but efficient national defense, sustainability that is people-powered and locally scaled to promote freedom, and compassion that is favored but not mandated by public policy.

I believe every American, regardless of race, ethnicity, age, geographical locale, sex, or any other factor can be and should be an American Freedom Seeker as well.

I do not believe the Democrats are wrong on the social ills and injustices, but they are wrong on the government-powered (as opposed to people-powered) “solutions” which create elites.

I do not believe Republicans are wrong about the role of the free market, private initiative, and voluntary compassion as solutions, but they all too often ignore the actual problems and pretend things like enviornmental problems, racism, sexism, and exploitation do not occur as much as they do.

I am not middle of the road, between two extremes.

I am on the high road, the high road of a free “united people’s democratic republic” founded on the ideals of unity in diversity, popular sovereignty, democratic equality, and rule of law, a republic based on merit that denies the very existence of any race except for the human race, while celebrating (and respecting) the cultural diversity of the “nations” of people within its borders as a healthy means of creating a vibrant culture and a free society of inherently equal and valued human beings created by and for a Loving Creator.

Unrest Could Strike In Connecticut

W R Collier Jr March 2, 2014

OPINION ANALYSIS BY WILLIAM R COLLIER JR

Residents of the US state of Connecticut are outraged about a new plan set forth by authorities (as evidenced by letters sent to gun owners) to begin a door to door gun confiscation program after the state’s legislature allegedly, according to some citizen groups, “nullfied the second amendment” which many see as an inviolate standard or right to own firearms for self-defense, including defense against their government.
