Nelsen on the need to resist white disempowerment

Craig Nelsen is the director of Project USA, “the home of billboard democracy,” which puts up billboards around the country calling for immigration restriction. Here are various links about Nelsen, and here is more background on his organization from a critical, liberal view.

Nelsen wrote this past August:

For everyone else, let’s start by assuming that white Americans share with all peoples throughout the world at all times throughout history the characteristic that being disempowered as a group is a negative—like being conquered, or being subjugated.

Let’s assume that it is the same disaster for whites that whites consider it to be for everyone else.

Let’s assume there is nothing magical about being white that permits whites the luxury of indifference to this disempowerment—this permanent disempowerment.

Let’s assume whites are not so superior that they can ignore gritty, bloody reality—that they can ignore, as if he were a precocious child, Willie Brown, the black former speaker of the California Assembly, when he says, “I think most white politicians do not understand that the race pride we all have trumps everything else.”

Let’s assume the United States is a nation not so exceptional that Americans of any color can opt out of the destiny that demography is.

If we make these assumptions—assumptions future generations will curse us for not making—then the new Census Bureau projections plainly demand an immediate and radical change in public policy, and an all out effort to accomplish this change.

In particular, the projections demand an immediate time-out on mass immigration like the 40-year time-out the nation wisely implemented in 1924 at the peak of the last great wave of immigration….

In September 1920, a bomb one-twelfth the size of the Oklahoma City bomb exploded in front of 23 Wall Street in New York City, capping years of rising concern over the threat to the domestic order posed by the massive influx of foreigners.

As James Fulford writes at VDARE.com, “Wall Street support for immigration takes a sudden drop” and within four years the great time-out had begun—30 years after organized efforts to restrict immigration had begun.

It wasn’t until the corrupting influence of the profiteers was sidelined that 1924 America could implement the necessary time-out.

The question we face now, then, is: must we wait for another bombing on Wall Street or its equivalent before the corporate profiteers will again loosen their grip on the nation’s future and stop driving the country headlong into demographic meltdown for their own selfish benefit?

Or can we retake control of immigration policy before that happens?

When I met Craig Nelsen years ago, around the time he was getting started with ProjectUSA, and talked immigration with him, he was focused on the negative effects of immigration-caused population growth. He eschewed any concern about the effect of immigration on the racial and cultural character of our society, let alone on the white race as the white race. He’s traveled some distance since then.

There is no issue before us more important than the weakening, marginalization and dispossession of the white West.
