About a third of your life can be spent in sleep with all the attendant dreams and nightmares. This interior world of the subconscious often lacks the many cultural or societal boundaries that we observe in our waking life. Yet the dominate American mythos surrounding the ‘American Dream’ lent itself to sedating any conscious recognition nor reflection upon the immoral and violent treatment towards indigenous people, black slaves, Mexicans, and certain minorities through our nations historical slumber. The iconic Hollywood western movie star, John Wayne, illustrates such foundational racism in a 1971 Playboy Magazine interview, "I don't feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from them... Our so-called stealing of this country from them was just a matter of survival. There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves."
Unfortunately, today’s wokeness whether about black or indiginous people feels less a dialectic and more a dramatic dress rehearsal performance for some form of redress against our collective historical genocidal and racist behavior. And thus far it appears to me that both institutional actors (schools, universities, government, private industry) and individuals are splintered into divisive, even exclusionary role playing rather than some universal common thread which warp and weave we as a nation might wear in solidarity.
Our enlightened forefathers obviously carried colonial racist ideologies of the day to the new world. They also embraced the spirit of providential destiny in the expansion of empire from sea to shining sea. Unfortunately as political scientist Daniel Jonah Goldhagen states, “In many cases, the result of settler-colonialist practices and policies is the dissolution of indigenous communities and societies, achieved by various modalities of violence, including massacres, selective killings, forced expulsions, coerced labor, destruction of indigene villages and food supplies, disease, malnutrition, and starvation. Driven by its primary logic of elimination, settler colonialism is , to be sure, prone to genocide.”
Agrarian settler expansionism was for land and space. Most historians regard settler colonialism, whether in Africa, America, or Asia and the Pacific to have ended with the close of the nineteenth century. Author Carroll P. Kakel wrote in ‘The American West and the Nazi East: a Comparative and Interpretive Perspective,’ that the Nazi ‘Lebenstraum’ or imperialist ideology to acquire eastern land and space has some differences but interesting similarities with the American westward expansion as well. Kakel notes that German writers expounded upon expansionist annexation of neighboring lands, even before WW l. Afterwards fueled in part by the punishing Versaille Treaty reparations, a depressed economy, joblessness, hunger, and racist sentiments against the Slavic and Jewish people, Poland and the Baltic area were targeted for future German settlers.
It was Adolf Hitler who became fascinated with social Darwinism, and viewed with keen interest the wanton extermination of Native Americans by the settlers through the close of the nineteenth century as a model for his Lebenstraum. American eugenics science and mass sterilization of the twentieth century was icing on the cake for what became his party’s terrible obsession.
Today in the Middle East is another naked example of what settler expansionism looks like in our twentieth century. As Goldhagen remarked, violence, forced expulsions, massacres, and starvation of the indigenous people are sadly integral parts of expansionism for land policies of Israel despite insistence that the ‘Right to Return’ to a homeland is following God’s directive or providence if you will. Palestinians then are like the Native Americans a vanishing people. As the below map shows, the Israeli homeland has been expanding over the decades.
Eugenics never really became divorced from science nor from government and U N policy as demonstrated by the medical, Pharma, and processed food industry not to mention DoD programs such as Chemtrails . Like Stalins’ Holodomor or man made famine ninety years ago we may be looking at the nascent stages of a vastly larger western version of great famine. The amazing numbers of American livestock and poultry farms, not to mention meat and grain processors that seem to have gone up in flames over the last twelve months coincide with severe disruptions in shipping. Add the inflationary costs of available food stuffs and not very subtle elitist like Bill Gates offering fifty ways to kill your brother with GMO foods, designer mosquitos, vaccines, fake meat, etc.
Former special forces soldier and war correspondent Michael Yon has been reporting for several years about the NGO and U N sponsored rivers of aid, support, and logistics for the expedient flow of male dominated migrants into Western Europe, America, and Canada. These are not settlers as much as invaders. And we know that is how indigenous people like the Native Americans ultimately viewed the colonists.
Lakota shaman Lame Deer reportedly explained, “We must try to use the pipe for mankind, which is on the road to self-destruction. . . . This can be done only if all of us, Indians and non-Indians alike, can again see ourselves as part of the earth, not as an enemy from the outside who tries to impose its will on it. Because we . . . also know that, being a living part of the earth, we cannot harm any part of her without hurting ourselves.”
The warning signs are flashing for depopulation and war. Are there for those with eyes to see or are phone screens too distracting. It presently may seem like a bad dream and a literal nightmare for others like myself. The elite authoritarians censor and lie because apparently the new world order have their Hegelian solutions at the ready. The western populations may continue their collective slumber and at the bare minimum experience a very rude awakening.
