Part VII: The Homicide of Nations Through Ethnic Corruption.

Part VII: The Homicide of Nations Through Ethnic Corruption.

As recounted in this seven-part series, many ethnic groups (such as the Harrapans and Tocharians) followed the path to self-destruction by not defending their national borders.  Others blindly sought another path to suicide by embarking on short-sighted quests for imperial and mercantile gain into alien lands.  However, such human lemmings were not the only ancient (and post-ancient) peoples responsible for ethnic degeneration and destruction.  National and ethnic disintegration has also been purposely and maliciously engineered by the conquerors of other nations and by powerful subversives within a nation. Their common purpose has been to corrupt and destroy ethnic cohesion among the people who are to be ruled.  That is, after the victim nation’s people have been sufficiently weakened and confused by multi-culturalism, they do not have the unified will to overthrow their masters.  This series concludes with such manipulators who are among the evil-doers whom the Prophet Zarathustra called “drugvants.”

The Assyrian Empire

It has long been accepted that the first large multi-ethnic state was the Semitic-ruled First Babylonian Empire (ca. 2270-1595 BCE).  It is known that it initiated a policy of ethnic adulteration of its subject peoples. However, this callous power strategy was later perfected by a later Semitic imperial state—the Assyrian Empire.  After conquering a territory, the Assyrians would force a large number of its people to migrate into another subject nation’s traditional domain.  Meanwhile, other subject ethnic groups were forced to migrate into the new subject nation’s homeland.  The amoral Assyrian imperial masters casually murdered and maimed masses of people who revolted against their rule.  Therefore, they had no scruples about transforming their subject nations into multicultural confusions of incompatible peoples whose lack of unity rendered them less likely to revolt in the first place.  Meanwhile, through this policy of divide, confuse, and rule, during the Assyrians’ brutal 750-year tyranny, their hybrid subjects gradually conformed more closely to that of their masters.  As a result, the Assyrian’s Semitic traits became dominant throughout West Asia (Durant 1954, I, 119, 130, 222, 275, 375).

Nevertheless, as Will Durant described (1954, Vol. I, p. 283), after several centuries of brutal dominance, the Assyrian masters suffered their own “dysgenic process” of decline:

The extent of her conquests … brought into Assyria, as captives, millions of destitute aliens who bred with the fertility of the hopeless, destroyed all national unity of character and blood, and became by their growing numbers a hostile and disintegrating force into the very midst of the conquerors.  More and more the army was filled by these men of other lands.

Therefore, the Assyrians fell victim to the same dysgenic cancer that they had purposely inflicted upon their subjects for centuries.  In 612 BCE, the Semitic Chaldeans overthrew these debased Assyrians, destroyed their capital city of Nineveh, and devastated Assyria.

The Roman Empire.

It is known that the Romans often practiced a less-radical, but similar strategy known as “divide and rule” or “divide and conquer.”  They bought the loyalty of a subject’s people’s nobility, arranged marriages between them and Romans, and economically and culturally “Romanized” them.  Consequently, with traitors as leaders, the subject nations were more easily dominated by Roman imperial power.  The same strategy was practiced on elite members of independent nations whom the Romans wished to conquer (Thompson 1965, 69-76).  Of course, as already seen in this series, the same poetic justice fell on the Romans as was brought down on the Assyrians.

Observations of Plato and Aristotle During the Fifth and Fourth Centuries BCE.

Plato of Athens (427-347 BCE) recognized the fact that multiculturalism and multiethnicity will produce chaos in a nation and will destroy its freedom and its culture and its people.  Related to this observation was his description of a type of person whom he called “drones.”  This was his label for all worthless and virtue-less persons.  In his most well-known book, The Republic, he warned that as both the “stinger” (criminal) and “stingless” (beggar) classes of drones increase in numbers, they will destroy a nation.  Therefore, a good lawgiver ought to “keep them at a distance and prevent, if possible, their ever coming in; and if they have anyhow found a way in, then he should have them and their cells cut out as speedily as possible” (Republic, 8.564b-c).

Likewise, in Plato’s final major work, Laws, he emphasized that in order to maintain a stable and virtuous national culture and political system, it is necessary to keep harmful and alien influences from entering one’s country.  Foreigners who visit one’s nation for a lawful purpose should be treated fairly and justly, but their visit should be for a short period of time.  Immigrants, he said, are not to be allowed for permanent residence except for some rarely exceptional and virtuous persons (Laws, 12.950-953).

Given the media propaganda of our own benighted era, it is very noteworthy that more than 2,440 years after Plato, the American republic’s President George Washington expressed the same view in a letter to Vice President John Adams.  He wrote: “My opinion with respect to immigration is, that except for useful mechanics and some particular description of men and professions, there is no use of encouragement” (Lutton and Tanton 1994, 97).

Part IV of this series reveals that Aristotle (384-322 BCE) held the same conviction as Plato and George Washington.  Moreover, as previously seen, Aristotle provided numerous examples of civil wars and collapse of nations caused by the introduction of incompatible migrants into various ancient Greek colonies.

The Franks Treatment of the Defeated Saxons.

Charlemagne, the Christian ruler of the Frankish Empire, fought a war of conquest against the pagan Saxons of northern Germany during the thirty-two years from 772 to 804.  They were defeated ten times and each time were forced to accept Frankish rule and adhere to Christianity.  But after each of the first nine defeats, they rebelled and returned to their pagan traditions (West 1913, 626).  After Charlemagne suppressed one particular revolt in 782, he ordered about 4,500 rebels beheaded at Verden in northern Germany (West 1913, 626; Davies 1986, 281; Durant 1950, IV, 462).  Nevertheless, within a few years, the Saxons fought for their freedom once more. When they were defeated again in the year 804, Charlemagne made certain that this was their final uprising.  It was then that he conceived a more effective way of suppression than even mass murder.  He deported thousands of Saxons to southern Germany and Gaul (France).  At the same time, he imported Franks and Slavic peoples into Saxony and gave them Saxon homes (Fisher 1969, 88; West 1913, 626).  This was the same practice of divide, adulterate, and rule that the ancient Assyrians used for the same purpose.  For it is a law of Asha/Natural Law that cultural and genetic diversity leads to national weakness and confusion and, therefore, makes it more likely that people will be subservient to their masters.

The Dilemma of Western Civilization.

As the readers of this series (and of Ashavid) understand, the ancient Assyrians’ successors are among us today.  They control the mass media, many international corporations, most religious institutions, and much of academia.  Therefore, they wield great economic, cultural, and political power.   As a result, they have been succeeding in their efforts to destroy the nations and the very civilization of the West.  Consequently, during every decade we see a dwindling percentage of United States’ residents who are American, of France’s residents who are French, of Britain’s subjects who are British, of Germany’s people who are German.  Every year, the traditional portion of European and European-derived countries declines in number.  Meanwhile, the surviving European peoples are being culturally dispossessed.

About three-thousand, four-hundred years ago, the Prophet Zarathustra faced evils born of a different type of drugvant foe.  However, the Gathas depict him enduring a dilemma reminiscent of that which plague people today who seek justice against powerful and influential drugvants.  He cried out to our Creator in these words:

To what country shall I seek refuge?  Where shall I turn for protection?  I have been excluded from my family and friends.  The people turn away from me and obey the wicked liars who rule my country.  How then can I fulfill my mission?  [Yasna 46, Verse 1 of the Gathas; Ashavid, p. 96]

During our own era, denizens of the major cities and increasingly of other areas feel a similar alienation.  Therefore, during the years ahead, Westerners who want to retain a spiritual and ethical high ground—yet who desperately need to reverse their dispossession—must acquire a true knowledge of divinely-created Natural Law.  Furthermore, in harmony with that Law of Asha, they must practice clear and honest thinking in the face of media-induced lies, and they must cultivate the determined will to speak and act with courage on the path to true justice.
