South Africa may be the grim model of the future Western world, for events in America reveal trends chillingly similar to those that destroyed our country [of Rhodesia].
America's structures are Western. Your Congress, your lobbying groups, your free speech, and the way ordinary Americans either get involved or ignore politics are peculiarly Western, not the way most of the world operates. But the fact that only about a third of Americans deem it important to vote is horrifying in light of how close you are to losing your western character.
Writing letters to the press, manning stands at country fairs, hosting fund-raising dinners, attending rallies, setting up conferences, writing to your Congressman - that is what you know, and that is what you are comfortable with. Those are the political methods you've created for yourselves to keep your country on track and to ensure political accountability.
But woe to you if - or more likely, when - the rules change. Americans may soon find themselves unable or unwilling to stand up to challenge the new political methods that will be the inevitable result of the ethnic metamorphosis now taking place in America. Unable to cope with the new rules of the game - violence, mob riots, intimidation through accusation of racism, demands for proportionality based on racial number, and all the other social and political weapons used by the have-nots to bludgeon treasure and power form the haves - Americans, like others before them, will no doubt cave in. They will compromise away their independence and ultimately their way of life.
Once you lose social, cultural and political dominance, there is no getting it back again.
Unfortunately, your habits and values work against you. You cannot fight terror and street mobs with letters to your Congressmen. You cannot fight accusations of racism with prayer meets. You cannot appeal to the goodness of your fellow man when the fellow man despises you for your weaknesses . . . To survive, Americans must never lose the power they now enjoy to people from alien cultures. Above all, don't put yourselves to the test of fighting only when your backs are against the wall. You will probably fail.
Millions around the world want your good life. But make no mistake: They care not for the high-minded ideals of Jefferson, [Madison] and Washington and your Constitution. What they want are your possessions, your power, your status.
And they already know that there are allies among you, the 'human rights activists' the skillful lawyers and the left wing politicians will fight for them and not for you. They will exploit your Christian charity, and your good will.
They have studied you, Mr. and Mrs. America, and they know your weaknesses well.
They know what to do . . . Do you?(119)
