A religious controversy is roiling Texas.  A giant statue of a Hindu deity, the half monkey-half man Hanuman, standing at 90-feet tall (making it the third largest statue in the US), has been erected at a Hindu temple in Houston.  The date of its emplacement is significant and highly symbolic:  August 15^th.  This is no ordinary day.  In the Church this is the day on which Christians celebrate one of the 12 Great Feasts of the year, the Falling Asleep of the Ever-Virgin Mary, the Mother of God.  What we are witnessing, therefore, is the very real replacement of Christianity with a false, pagan religion, and in one of the most conservative States at that.

How did this happen?  Legal immigration.

Illegal immigration gets most of the headlines because of all the sensational crimes committed by the illegals, but legal immigration is also causing difficulties for the States.  One of the main problems is with wages.  Breitbart has been covering this aspect of the immigration saga, and others, quite well:

The number of legal immigrants admitted to the U.S. every year since 1980 has not dipped below 525,000. Since 1999, annual legal immigration levels have not dropped below 645,000. And since 2004, the number of legal immigrants admitted to the U.S. every year has not dipped below 957,000 admissions a year.

Every one percent increase in the immigrant composition of an American workers’ occupation reduces their weekly wages by about 0.5 percent, researcher Steven Camarotta concludes. This means the average native-born American worker today has their wage reduced by perhaps 8.5 percent because of current legal immigration levels.

Likewise, every one percent increase in the immigrant composition of low-skilled U.S. occupations reduces wages by about 0.8 percent. Should 15 percent of low-skilled jobs be held by foreign-born workers, it would reduce the wages of native-born American workers by perhaps 12 percent.

The Washington, DC-imposed mass legal immigration policy is a boon to corporate executives, Wall Street, big business, and multinational conglomerates, as America’s working and middle class have their wealth redistributed to the country’s top earners through wage stagnation.

Furthermore:

Out of those 13 million Americans who are available for U.S. jobs, about 6.5 million are unemployed. Of those unemployed, close to 13 percent are American teenagers who are ready for entry-level U.S. jobs — the exact jobs that low-skilled foreign workers generally tend to take.

About 1.6 million Americans are not in the labor force at all, but they want a job, including about 426,000 discouraged American workers who are demoralized by their job prospects. Also, there are 5.1 million Americans who are working part-time jobs but who want full-time jobs. More than 1.4 million of these U.S. part-time workers said they had looked for full-time jobs but could not find any.

. . . The mass importation of legal immigrants — mostly due to President George H.W. Bush’s Immigration Act of 1990, which expanded legal immigration levels — diminishes job opportunities for the roughly four million young American graduates who enter the workforce every year wanting good-paying jobs.

In the last decade alone, the U.S. admitted ten million legal immigrants, forcing American workers to compete against a growing population of low-wage foreign workers. Meanwhile, if legal immigration continues, there will be 69 million foreign-born residents living in the U.S. by 2060. This would represent an unprecedented electoral gain for the Left, as Democrats win about 90 percent of congressional districts where the foreign-born population exceeds the national average.

The economic and political disadvantages of too many legal immigrants are one thing.  The cultural disadvantages are another.  As they rush in, the threat to the Western, Christian culture of the US is profound.  Thomas Jefferson touched on this in a letter he wrote in 1817:

for altho’, as to other foreigners, it is thought better to discorage their settling together, in large masses, wherein, as in our German settlements, they preserve for a long time their own languages, habits and principles of government, & that they should distribute themselves sparsely among the natives for quicker amalgamation, yet English emigrants are without this inconvenience. they differ from us little but in their principles of government; and most of those (merchants excepted) who come here, are sufficiently disposed to adopt ours.

Some idealistic conservative dreamers, following atheistic Enlightenment principles that conceive of man as a malleable blank slate, have no problem with legal immigration to the US of people from every nation under the sun in large numbers.  As long as they honor our laws and system of government, let them come, they say; there will be no problem.  Jefferson rejects this notion.  He was himself something of a philosophe, so his objection is noteworthy.  He draws distinctions between even German and English immigrants to the US, preferring the latter because of their cultural similarities.  How much less would he have approved of welcoming non-Europeans (most of whom are also non-Christians) by the tens of thousands every year, as the States and their federal government are doing!

A contemporary foe of this kind of cultural destruction is the Frenchman Renaud Camus.  In a recent interview, he breathes fury upon those who are undermining borders and traditions with massive numbers of immigrants from completely different cultural backgrounds as their host countries:

English-speaking readers of Enemy of the Disaster (Vauban Books, 2023), the recently published anthology of your political writings, will be surprised to discover that the Great Replacement as you formulate it is not at all what they’ve been told—that is, a far-right conspiracy theory. What should people know about the Great Replacement and why have you been so misrepresented, nay, slandered?

That the Great Replacement is not a far-right conspiracy is indeed the least one can say. Each of these terms is false. The Great Replacement is not a theory, it is a chrononym, like the Great War or the Great Depression—a name for an era on the basis of its most significant phenomenon, namely the change of people and of civilization, or “genocide by substitution” (as the black poet and long-serving communist mayor of Fort-de-France, Aimé Césaire, called it). In my book of the same name, Le Grand Remplacement, the idea of a conspiracy never arises, for that would be a totally ridiculous way of describing the enormity of the industrial, financial, cybernetic, ontological, and even metaphysical mechanisms that have led to this disaster, the replaceable man, interchangeable at will. Since the Great Replacement is not a theory but a fact, a crime, the crime against humanity of the twenty-first century, it cannot be a conspiracy theory or a theory of the far right.

However, I do indeed have a theory, yes: global davocratic replacism, a theory of the managerial administration of the human park by Davos, cybernetics, banks, hedge funds, pension funds, Big Tech, etc. I have presented this theory in various books, Le Grand Remplacement being merely the most factual of them. They include Du sens, De l’in-nocence, Le Petit Remplacement, La Dépossession, and La Destruction des Européens d’Europe. However colossal it may be, the Great Replacement is only a small part of what I call global replacism, an interpretive framework of the world born of the observation that replacement, the action of replacing, is the principal activity of modern and contemporary societies. Global replacism is a totalitarian and holistic ideology that, in my view, clearly originated in the English-speaking world and the United States in particular, since it drew its inspiration from both the First and Second Industrial Revolutions. Frederic Winslow Taylor is its god or, if you prefer, its Karl Marx (Taylor is to replacism what Marx is to Marxism: “In the past, the man has been first; in the future, the system must be first”). Henry Ford is its prophet.

The adjectives “misrepresented” and “slandered” are nice understatements. I have almost never been read, at least not by those who attack me, and I have been dragged through the mud, defamed, wokipediafied, blamed for all the sins of the world, dropped by all my publishers, refused passage everywhere in the media, summoned before all the courts, heavily fined, and even sentenced to prison (a sentence subsequently suspended, it is true). The reason for this could not be simpler: since the Great Replacement is by far the most important phenomenon of contemporary Western societies, and also the most obvious, it is precisely that which one must under no circumstances name. Those who venture to do so must be silenced by any means necessary.

Those political leaders who allow such destructive immigration he calls

 . . . “the Genocidal Bloc”: that is, the unshakeable alliance of right-wing interests and left-wing ideals, of globalized davocratic hyper-capitalism and antiracist egalitarianism, which both desire a deracinated, denationalized, declassified, deculturated, de-historicized humanity, dispossessed of everything that might hamper general interchangeability. Both favor what was brilliantly anticipated and described by Zygmunt Bauman: the liquefaction of the species, the necessary condition of its total interchangeability (and prelude to its liquidation—but that’s me talking). Everything that might prevent this is successively eliminated: first it was distinct peoples now it is the sexes. Undifferentiated Human Matter (UHM) must be perfectly fluid.

It makes a profound difference who is admitted into the US for citizenship.  The habits and customs that the various peoples of the world have acquired over thousands of years do not vanish like smoke simply by their crossing an invisible boundary line and swearing an oath.  If folks in Texas and the rest of Dixie and the other sane States want to hold on to what remains of their Christian Western patrimony, they are going to have to substantially restrict legal and illegal immigration.  If that is not done, then the hundreds of thousands of Asian (and other) immigrants already in cities like Dallas and Houston will grow; the same will happen in other cities across the US; and conservatives/revivalists will sing sad laments as Christianity gives way to Hinduism and other pagan religions and as their beloved political system likewise decays into the violent, corrupt totalitarianism so prevalent among non-Christians.
