EC 101 or How to Make Ethnic Cleansing Work for You

Welcome to EC 101. We hope you will find this course helpful to you in the challenging days ahead.

Intro: Ethnic Cleansing is a useful tool for removing people from your country or community. The beauty of it is, you can use it on the basis of several factors. Race is just one. It also works well with religion, language or politics.

Background: Over the years, EC has been used successfully by many countries and societies to rid themselves of unwanted elements. There are many examples. China, Sudan, Serbia and Rwanda. And of course, Nazi Germany, the country that took EC to its highest level.

In this course you will learn how to put in place the building blocks of a successful EC campaign. But remember. Each step is important if you are to achieve your goals.

Step One: The first step is to identify your target population. Consider the fears and prejudices within your own group. Who don’t you like? Who do you resent? Who are you afraid of? This will lead you to target people who don’t look or speak like you.

Your targets can be a racial group, like Blacks or Asians, or a national group, like Mexicans or Somalis. Or religious groups, like Jews or Muslims. If you’re trying to maintain dominance of a specific demographic, for example, white Christians, any or all of the above can become targets. You can also identify cultural subsets you may wish to rid society of, like gays or transsexuals.

A good place to start is with immigrants. Because they often have a different skin color, wear strange clothing or speak a different language, they will meet most of your criteria for EC.

Step Two: Begin a wide-scale campaign of verbal abuse and dehumanization. This will take time, so it’s important to start early. For example, Adolf Hitler began slandering Jews and calling for their removal as early as 1919. And our president didn’t just suddenly start trashing immigrants. As early as 2015 he was calling Mexicans criminals and rapists. Over time he added to his vocabulary, calling them snakes, blood polluting, and garbage. Descriptions of weird behavior are also effective, like accusing Haitians of eating cats and dogs.

At the same time, it will be helpful to identify with the dominant culture and religion. Tactics might include showing up at religious conferences and prayer breakfasts. Find an opportunity to hold up a Bible and stress your support for posting the Ten Commandments in schools.

Step Three: Marshall all economic and political resources. For this you will need the installation of patriots at all levels of government, from Town Hall to the Supreme Court. Once this has been achieved, you can obtain the legislative, judicial and financial support you will need.

Step Four: Preparation—before you launch your campaign, you must put in place adequate infrastructure for operations, detention and deportation. This takes years to put in place, and involves major construction projects and hiring of loyal personnel. It also will require specific working agreements with private contractors in incarceration and transportation.

You will also need agreements with other countries, who will receive and house your EC deportees. Warning: some countries will want nothing to do with this. Others, like El Salvador, will gladly accept and imprison your deportees if compensated.

Finally, set high goals. Note, for example, the recent goals set by the Department of Homeland Security of arresting 3,000 persons a day.

Step Five: The Launch–It’s important when launching your campaign to develop effective marketing tools. Coming up with catchy names and phrases that can help sell your EC product. Recent examples include the naming of the Florida detention center ‘Alligator Alcatraz,” and the ICE surge into Maine as “Catch of the Day.” Another is the staging of Homeland Security Director Kristi Noem in front of tattooed criminals in cages at El Salvador’s infamous CECOT prison.

Implementation: Now that everything is in place, launch your EC campaign. You now have power. Use it. The worst thing you can do is to appear weak or confused. If you must use violence—know that at the highest level of government, your leaders will back you.

When making arrests, you may need to separate parents from children, or children from parents. Don’t let your feelings get it the way. Focus on the larger good you are doing for your country.

Caution: At some point you may come into conflict with people like you, that is, white Americans, who try to deter or distract you from doing your job. Sadly, they have been indoctrinated by radical, leftist propaganda. As difficult as it is, you must treat them as the domestic terrorists they are.

A useful tip: It’s important when conducting your EC campaign to send signals to the dominant group that you are not targeting them. One way is to welcome white immigrants from South Africa or Northern Europe. This makes it clear that you are not opposed to all immigrants, only those with darker skins.

A final word: Throughout your Ethnic Cleansing campaign, keep your eyes on the prize. Make America Great Again by making America White Again. Conducting a successful EC campaign will require your perseverance and undying loyalty.

The Children Know the Way

If we are to find our way through the current moral and political crisis, we should pay more attention to our children.

That’s the message I got on Monday as Becky and I watched the HBO documentary, “We are the Dream: The Kids of the Oakland MLK Oratorical Fest.”

The film was shown at the Stoneham Public Library, which opened on the holiday just for the screening in commemoration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It was sponsored by our town’s Human Rights Commission.

“We are the Dream” tells the story of the children of Oakland, California, who compete in the annual MLK Oratorical, culminating in a remarkable presentation celebrating the life of the beloved civil rights leader.

In the film, the students, K-12, bring to life the words of Dr. King and others—poets, artists and activists. Sometimes, they perform their own compositions. We see them as they prepare, rehearse and take the stage.

Oakland, California, is a city of some 440,000 residents. Like San Francisco across the Bay, it is a consortium of races and ethnicities, with no one group a majority. Hispanics comprise about 30 percent, Whites 26, Blacks 20 and Asians 15. About 10 percent are listed as bi-racial, and there are smaller numbers of American or Hawaiian natives and Pacific islanders.

Which is to say, when you walk into Oakland’s schools, you will find the America envisioned 68 years ago in Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech. You’ll see Black kids holding hands with White kids and Asian kids singing with Latino kids. You’ll find immigrants from around the world–from South America to Southeast Asia, from the Middle East to Eastern Europe.

Like most urban centers in the United States, Oakland struggles with issues of poverty, housing shortages and homelessness. What Oakland has demonstrated, however, is the that all races can live and work together and that diversity, equity and inclusion are essential American values.

What the HBO film shows us is that in a country still struggling with hate and division, we can create better. That’s the message of the children, and why we must pay attention.

In Stoneham, as well, we must pay attention to our children, those in our schools, clubs and churches, those like the young people at the Boys & Girls Club who gathered on Monday to thematic mural at the Teen Center on Central Street.

Have you noticed that children don’t get tied up in political and philosophical rationalizations? Most kids are quick to tell you what is right and wrong. They have an innate sense of fairness, and they know who the bullies are. They know violence is not the answer. As one second grader in Oakland said of the late civil rights leader, “Dr. King showed us how to fight without using our fists.”

Children know you don’t steal another person’s candy or their country. Or their dignity by calling them names. And you don’t shoot people who are getting in your way.  

On this national holiday, the children call on us not to forget the dream of Martin Luther King. This dream, our children are showing us, can restore our spirit and renew our strength. It can lead us to renew our commitment to the “beloved community.”

Note: As we often spend time in Oakland during the winter, and as our son, who was director of academic programs for Oakland schools, was helping with this project, I was asked to fill in as one of the contest judges.. It just happened to be the year that HBO made the documentary above.
