Open Borders Inc.: The ‘Conspiracy’ Is Real.
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
The next speaker is Michelle Malkin.
She describes herself as a mother, wife, internet entrepreneur, newspaper columnist, recovered cable TV news commentator.
She is the author of no fewer than seven bestsellers.
I see copies of some of them here, but sold out, Open Borders, Inc., and Invasion.
She started her newspaper career At the Los Angeles Daily News, then moved to the Seattle Times.
And since 1999, she has been with Creators Syndication.
That was the syndication, of course, that the late, great Sam Francis was part of, whom we miss to this day.
And I can say without hesitation that Michelle Markin is one of the boldest and most courageous public intellectuals in the country today.
And please give her a warm welcome.
She will speak to us on Open Borders, Inc.
The conspiracy is real.
Thank you very much, Mr. Taylor, and I am very thrilled and honored to join you here today at American Renaissance.
I must disagree, though, I am not a public intellectual.
And I took one of those DNA kit tests recently.
I am not, in fact, unfortunately, genetically related to Peter Rimlow.
Some of you may have read a post from John Derbyshire a couple of years ago where he described looking at the section where it shows you who else you were related to, and he was delighted to find, of course, that he was connected to Peter's brother.
So, yeah, I know that's shocking news.
I'm not related to John or Peter.
I did find that I was 94% Filipino.
Again, no surprise.
Both of my parents were born in the Philippines.
And it turns out that the other 6% was Chinese.
So on the plus side, I'm sure that that little bit of Sino spice might have boosted my otherwise lagging Pacific Islander IQ.
I told you I'm not a public intellectual.
Yay. But on the downside, you all know what they say about female Asian drivers.
I'm going to get in trouble like the Rittenhouse judge for telling Asian jokes.
Actually, I believe the data shows that it's not so much recklessness or a poor sense of direction that afflicts female Asian drivers.
It's really the annoyingly slow Speed at which we travel.
All of which is to say on a very serious note that apropos of my nearly 30-year-long journey to get here right now, from mainstream campus conservative to an establishment Con Inc.
media figure to one of you, I was never lost, and I want to make that clear, and I think that's clear from the body of my work.
I was always headed generally in the right direction, and it just took me a lot longer to arrive at this destination than it should have.
So as Mr. Taylor mentioned, the original title of my talk was Open Borders, Inc.
The Conspiracy is Real, and it is real and not spectacular.
But I will most certainly touch on that topic, and I'm happy to elaborate in Q&A on any aspect of my reporting or my book research.
But you already know the plot, and you all know the main characters.
Hello United Nations, U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, Wall Street Journal, La Raza, Anti-Defamation League, Southern Poverty Law Center, Sorrows, Coke,
Coke, Singer, Ford, Rockefeller, Gates, Zuckerberg, yada, yada, yada.
And many of you have been engaged.
Long engage in hand-to-hand, pen-to-pen combat against this vast, deep-pocketed galaxy of anti-white, anti-American,
anti-sovereignty individuals and institutions hell-bent on demographic mass murder, to put it mildly.
So I was inspired last minute.
By a compelling feature on the American Renaissance website to instead reframe my speech in a more introspective and personal way on the subjects of, quote, race, immigration, and Con Inc.,
how I came to see the light.
Just a few days ago, Mr. Taylor invited readers to, quote, tell us the story of how you saw the light.
And I want to read from his appeal in which he addressed reality-based Americans like you in this room and, of course, reality-based Americans who may be watching this online and not realize it yet.
He wrote,"You don't believe the silly stuff we are supposed to think, that there is no such thing as race, diversity is a strength, America is a white supremacist country where the game is rigged so that white people float absolutely to the top.
And my question to you is this: How Did you avoid falling for the hogwash?
Or if at one time you thought the way that national public radio tells you to, how did you see the light?
It doesn't come easy.
I agree it doesn't.
Schools, churches, the government, and of course the media are constantly beating egalitarian rubbish and white guilt into our heads.
Those powerful forces are hard to resist.
How did you do it?
Well, I've had time to look through this really incredible archive of first-person accounts, and they provide a fascinating and refreshing dose of reality and candor.
They come from Zoomers and Boomers and students and housewives and police officers and firefighters, academics, citizens from all walks of life here in the United States and outside.
And one way or another, they...
We have all arrived at the same shared destination point.
Again, some more quickly than others.
And that's okay.
It's an unblinking conclusion that the answer to St. Rodney King's question way back in 1992, when I started my journalism career, and when Paved with Good Intentions came out, you know the question.
Can we all just get along?
No.
Alas, the answer is no.
No. We all can't just get along.
That was clear as day.
It should have been 29 springs ago when hordes of black and brown rioters were beating white and yellow people to bloody pulps and burning Los Angeles down to a crisp.
And boogieing with Maxine Waters, doing that electric slide across the ruins of Western civilization.
28 springs later, St. Rodney King was replaced with St. George Floyd.
And the usual mob of racial arsonists and looters torched the Twin Cities while their comrades in every other major city literally Brought politicians and CEOs, police,
and national guardsmen to their knees.
I don't know if I qualify as a race realist, as I am not deeply immersed in all of the social science that embracing that descriptor implies.
But I do know this.
I've written it.
And I say it aloud.
Being white is not a crime.
Thank you.
Being a Trump voter is not a crime.
Rejecting collective guilt is not a crime.
Refusing to acknowledge white privilege when you were born poor or in a broken home or with physical or psychological handicaps is not a crime.
Neither, for that matter, is being born white and middle class or wealthy in New England or the South or flyover country.
Noticing and caring and vehemently objecting to the demographic overwhelming of the historic American racial majority is not a crime.
Embracing the historic American nation, warts and all.
Instead of erasing it, is not a crime.
And I also know this.
Weakness is not strength.
Confessing sins for which you bear no guilt is not noble or Christian.
It made me sick to my stomach to see virtue signaling white police officers, chiefs, kneeling before barking rioters calling them pigs.
All last summer and spring, I was nauseated by the sound of sobbing white people.
The Chick-fil-A CEO, Dan Cathy.
I should have brought vomit bags.
The self-described spiritual leader, Marianne Williamson.
Groveling for forgiveness, leading their flocks to join them.
On the floor, literally and figuratively, before the sadistic Black Lives Matter demagogues, I was nauseated and sickened by the sight of simpering Republican politicians, such as Ted Cruz and Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott and Nikki Haley,
all bowing their heads and beatifying a drugged up thug, as if this will appease the unappeasable.
Thank you.
It will not appease them.
And it never will.
Like many of the Amren readers who've told their road to Damascus stories, my own narrative is not one of some sudden, booming bolt of lightning out of the blue.
It was a slow and steady, unrelenting stream of blips and blinks.
Glimmers and glares, low beams and high beams of light, some of which I did not want to see.
And then finally, a point of no return reckoning.
I could list a litany of unfortunate events that turned me away from the type of earnest racial Pollyannaism that is characteristic of boomer Republicans and TPUSA conservatives.
You know, the ones who cling to their, Democrats are the real racists.
And we don't see color.
And what about MLK?
Content of the care, color of our skin.
Those ones.
Over the years, I've reported on the black church burning hoaxes in the 1990s.
And the black-on-white Wichita massacre, the Knoxville horror of the 2000s, every racial shakedown perpetrated by Al Sharpton and his Lion King successor, Ben Crump, and,
of course, all the most recent unpleasantries committed by roving black assailants against Asians in San Francisco and Los Angeles.
And New York City, the commonality of which is not that they're liberal, Democrat-run cities.
Despite all of the efforts of Silicon Valley to stop the spread of awareness, new, fresh outbreaks of failed coexistence occur every single day.
Just this past week, I'm sure some of you woke up to see video Of a teenage Asian girl getting sucker punched at a basketball game in Garden Grove, Orange County,
California. Sucker punched by the daughter of black former NBA player, Chicago Bulls player, Corey Benjamin.
How many of you saw that video this morning?
Yeah. The black girl's mom...
According to the Asian girl's mom, had goaded her daughter from the sidelines and jeered, quote, go and hit her.
Ain't diversity grand.
This hulking thugette had assaulted two other girls a few weeks earlier and was still allowed to compete.
Restorative justice means never having to say you're sorry for inflicting concussions.
And... Of course, murder.
The NBA player Corey Benjamin issued a statement, I believe late last night, in which he sincerely apologized on behalf of his daughter and asserted that, quote, this is not who she is.
I have to say that that phrase has sort of haunted me for most of my entire journalism career.
And the other notable invocation of it, I'll never forget, was after I had done some Fox News appearance in the early 2000s advocating that American citizens Call INS when they knew that they were living next to illegal aliens.
This prompted Geraldo Rivera, as some of you may know, sort of notorious in my kind of public narrative, to tell a Boston Globe reporter that the next time he saw me in New York City he would, quote, spit on me.
And after he was called out on this, the first thing he said was, that is not who I am.
So, of course, one of the depressing upshots of this latest outbreak of the black-on-Asian sucker-punching is that too many legions of woke Asian elites out there will find a way to blame Whitey.
But there's a growing legion of rooftop Koreans and Chinese tiger moms who are beginning to see the light.
And more good news.
There are more and more parents who are finally enraged, as we've heard this morning, at anti-white, quote-unquote, critical race theory that has metastasized in their public and private schools for decades.
And I do want to key off for a moment on Roger Devlin's great talk about envy and shame.
Because a lot of the work that I've done on education, particularly when I was a card-carrying, minted member of Con Inc., had as its underpinning the shaming of white parents,
and they didn't even know it.
I didn't fully comprehend it as I went out there in most of the 2000s championing school choice and charter schools.
And the standard literature for most of the libertarians who championed these things was, well, we need to do more to make sure that minority parents and families will have access to good public schools.
And I believed that that was the thrust, that that was the underlying agenda of those types.
Of things, which of course have been championed long by conning establishment think tanks like the Cato Institute and Milton Friedman Foundation and all that.
I was readily invited to education confabs to cheer for these things without fully understanding that by redirecting mainstream white parents' attentions away from their own kids' education,
they We're undermining the sovereignty of the families, the taxpayers who are paying for these schools.
And ultimately what it was was about envy and shame of white parents who sent their kids to good public schools.
Of course there's been a renaissance now among homeschooling parents because they understand that recruiting dragoons of Republican parents who have good hearts to pour all of this money and energy into school choice is robbing their own children and enriching the pockets of the very same types of entities and individuals who are anti-white,
anti-sovereignty, and pro-open borders.
Applause Applause
What I want to say to you, because as I've mentioned, I've been traveling too slowly on my Enlightenment journey and was too late in being able to thank Sam Francis and Lawrence Oster in person while they were still alive,
is thank you.
Thank you.
Before there was TikTok and Facebook and Instagram, there were many of your blogs and websites and books and independently produced documentaries.
There were the radio shows of Bob Grant.
Anyone remember him?
Old-timers, OGs over there.
George Putnam and Terry Anderson.
The vigilant chronicling of these no-we-can't-just-get-along moments by the writers at American Renaissance and V-Dare, by Colin Flaherty, and many of others who are vitally important.
It's vitally important because these unspeakable things would otherwise have been rabbit-holed by corporate media narrative controllers and con-inc gatekeepers working overtime.
To manufacture the grand illusion of inclusion.
You may not always hear from the vast army of citizens out there whose ignorance or denialism is being pierced by your light.
But you are being heard and seen and read and heeded.
Mr. Taylor asks in his solicitation for first-hand accounts, How did you avoid falling for the hogwash of anti-white propagandists?
For some, it was an abrupt rude awakening, a home invasion robbery, or a literal or metaphorical sucker punching, a seminal book, or a study.
But before all of the negative exposures to diversity uber alis that I encountered in college, Oberlin College, and beyond, For me, fundamentally, it goes back to a childhood that was filled with positive reverence and appreciation for Western civilization.
On the bookshelves that my dad built in our living room in our southern New Jersey suburban home was a red and gold'57 set that my mom had purchased from Black's Reader Service.
And there were volumes of Shakespeare and Hugo and Kipling and Poe and Eliot and Frost and Ibsen and Blake and Byron and Browning and Dunn and Longfellow.
And we would receive two books per month in the mail with these beautiful gilt-edged pages and a scarlet red ribbon marker.
And I only was able to plow through a tiny fraction of that set.
But it was enough to fuel in me a lifelong desire to command language and to communicate ideas as powerfully as all of these learned dead white men had done.
And for me, the same went for music.
The works of Bach and Mozart and Chopin and Rachmaninoff and Debussy bounced off the needle of my dad's stereo turntable and then soon off of my own My parents taught me to love and to pursue beautiful and enduring things.
One of those things was supposed to be America.
And as I've recounted often, they also conferred upon me an immunity to name-calling and bullying and intimidation.
Thank you.
If you Google my name for whatever reason, you might still be using that wretched information manipulation machine.
There is an entry on the first page of the search results that reads, quote, Michelle Malkin is attempting to normalize white supremacy.
Yay me.
To borrow Sam Francis's still so...
Useful and resonant concept of anarcho-tyranny.
This is an example of the algorithmic anarcho-tyranny that we live under.
In any case, this entry links to a lengthy dossier compiled by the Jewish Anti-Defamation League chronicling my, quote, history of divisiveness.
And here's the thing.
All of the Supposed evidence that they gather is real.
But the body of work and the actions that they point to describe not an attempt to normalize white supremacy, but to abnormalize anti-white hatred and to normalize sovereignty and self-respect.
I just want to read from some of this because this is how it starts out.
Malkin's columns and books paint a picture of America under siege by enemies and outsiders.
In 2002, she wrote her first book, Invasion, How America Still Welcomes Terrorist, Criminals, and Other Foreign Menaces to Our Shores.
The reason I write those long subheads is so you don't have to guess where I'm coming from, which painted immigrants as unwelcome enemies and criminals, all of whom I chronicle in the book are.
In her 2004 book, In Defense of Internment, The Case for Racial Profiling in World War II and the War on Terror, she defends both the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II and racial profiling of Arab and Muslim Americans after 9-11.
Her latest book, Open Borders, Inc., who's funding Americans' destruction, released in September 2019, focuses on her claims that churches and various nonprofit organizations are contributing to what Malkin sees as unfettered immigration to the U.S., which she believes is destroying the country.
No. Rebuttal to that.
Just Steve Saylor's very useful phrase, point and sputter, right?
A lot of pointing, a lot of sputtering.
In the book, she blamed some mainstream conservatives for embracing the status quo on immigration, so, and criticized other groups spanning the political spectrum for facilitating increasing immigration to the U.S. Yes, I was very diverse in my targets.
It goes on to talk about a speech that I gave at a Griper conference.
Gripers in the audience?
Let's go.
Reflecting my bigoted views, and it quotes me saying this, warning that America will look like the cover of Ilhan Omar's new book.
It will look like the no-go zones of the Twin Cities.
It will look like the serial predator-infested public schools in Montgomery County, Maryland, which is where I used to live.
It will not look like this room, the room I was addressing at the time.
This is not conspiracy replacement theory.
This is conspiracy truth.
By this point, says the ADL, Malkin was echoing many of the views promoted by white superhavits.
Joining the battle against what they call conservative Inc., otherwise known as the mainstream conservative movement.
And, as the meme goes, and, a couple of points here.
And one is that my beef with Con Inc., although I had been perceived as being a part of it for the vast majority of my career over the last 30 years, Actually goes back to when San Francis was still alive and calling out the likes of Jack Kemp.
In 1996, fun fact, I voted for the Libertarian Party and Harry Brown at that point because I couldn't stomach the idea of voting for Bob Dole and Jack Kemp.
That was 1996.
And here's the problem in all of the ensuing years.
One of the conferences that Sam Francis had talked about how he was at some Republican Party gathering just of mainstream rank-and-file Republicans, and one earnestly had gone up to him and said, wouldn't it be a great ticket if there was Pap Buchanan and Jack Kemp on it?
What are we doing here?
It resonates with me because I often talk about an analogy using spam.
And premium beef.
And the problem with almost three decades of brainwashing by Con, Inc.
media is that your earnest, rank-and-file Republicans cannot tell the difference.
And as I believe Sam Dixon has warned in previous conferences, this is a huge problem for the movement of authentic America first nationalist is that your average Republican can't tell the difference.
Ignore, smear, co-opt.
And we're seeing that cycle play out again and again and again.
So how do you, how do you bring people along?
How do you get them to see the light?
How do you move them from beyond to Race reality.
How do you get them to move from illegal immigration is the real problem, we're for legal immigration, all of it, unfettered, no matter what?
How do you get your rank-and-file Republicans who call themselves America Firsters, who parrot that phrase over and over again, to stop championing unlimited refugee resettlement because the restaurants are great?
All I can tell you is that for me, for the light that went on, it was really about constant, steady exposure to people who didn't necessarily treat me as one of them.
And I mention Lawrence Oster, both Fondly and also with regret.
Because this man for years had emailed me to try and bring me along on things like foreign policy and expanding beyond opposition to illegal immigration.
And his emails were not always friendly.
Mostly they were not.
I think there was a point at which he wrote a blog post and said, Michelle Malkin wouldn't know a concept if it hit her in the head.
And I hope he's listening somewhere, and I'm using this as an example now to encourage those of you to not give up on those who have not fully come into the light.
Amen. Thank you.
Peter Brimlow didn't give up on me.
You know, he was there, I didn't know him from Adam, at the start of the launch of my first book in 2002, Invasion, which largely dealt with failures at the southern border and also, in a very limited manner,
legal immigration as it pertained to, as long as there was a nexus with 9-11, because it was 9-11 that spurred that book to look...
To prompt me, to goad me, to look systematically at all of the systemic failures in immigration enforcement.
Along the way, from 2002 until 2015, when I had the honor of co-writing a book with a great champion of the American worker, John Miano.
There had been many people who had emailed me, needling me, to look into the injustice against American workers who had been displaced by H-1B visa holders, for example.
And there was a beam of light in a piece that I had saved from January 2016 that was penned by another great champion.
Of American workers, Patrick Thibodeau, who used to write for Computer World.
And he described a scene of IT employees at a company called Northeast Utilities in Connecticut.
They had just been told, 200 of them, that not only were they going to lose their jobs, but they had to train their foreign replacements in order to get their severance packages.
And their severance packages included strict gag orders.
And so to circumvent that gag order, one of them took a picture on their way out from their office, and lining the office of all of the laid-off and fired workers were tiny little American flags.
And Patrick Thibodeau had written, Someone in the IT department started putting up American flags in the cubicles, along the hallways.
Small American flags, the type you wave at a Fourth of July parade.
The flag is our most powerful symbol.
It represents sacrifice, love of nation, shared beliefs, and endurance.
These workers wanted it known that they are Americans.
The flag display would have disappeared with the IT workers, but one person took the photo.
It was quick, you can tell by the blur.
The severance agreement with its onerous non-disparagement clause tried to silence them, but this photo has not been silenced.
I took a screen cap of that, and it's a good thing I did, because if you look at the link to the article now, the image has been removed.
We now know, wrote Patrick Thibodeau, what the last stand of displaced workers in an IT department looks like.
It is part of our American memory.
Well, the ADL and their ilk attack any racial or ethnic minority who condemns such displacement and replacement as a self-serving, self-loathing, hypocrite, and of course, a grifter.
But as I told you, I have immunity to all these types of things.
And as my public narrative, which has been around for as long as I've been working as a journalist and activist, know, my own parents came to this country In the wake of the post-1965 Hart-Celler Act,
why should that obligate me to continue espousing ruinous and suicidal open borders policies that have transformed large swaths of the only homeland I've ever known and loved into the very kind of third-world hellhole that my parents didn't want me to grow up in the first place?
is this?
I've written about the treachery of ADL, but it bears speaking the words out loud this morning.
Many of you have borne their slings and arrows.
And I have to be gracious when people commend me for whatever courage they think I have for standing up here.
But there are so many more.
Some who people in the America First movement will never know.
Who've born much worse than I. Instead of fighting defamation, the ADL and its ilk traffic in false accusations of anti-Semitism under the guise of never again repeating the Holocaust.
Putting American citizens over hundreds of thousands of Third World and Muslim refugees is xenophobic, they say, and would lead to a repeat of World War II Nazism.
Hanging banners from highway overpasses calling for our government to secure borders or defend American workers is white supremacist tactics.
And pointing out the obvious nexus between open borders and disease, for example, will put you on the dreaded ADL extremism radar.
I know this personally because it happened in 2009 during the swine flu outbreak that was traced to Mexico.
I had written a little blog post.
Here they are quoting me.
The spread of contagious diseases from around the world into the U.S. was the result of uncontrolled immigration.
Duh! ADL swoops in with this raging condemnation of me and others who demonize Mexicans and immigrants, blaming them for the spread of the virus.
These virtue signallers, these narrative controllers, these smear merchants went on to warn that, quote, anti-immigrant groups and some mainstream media commentators, which I was at the time, are using the outbreak to advance their prejudice views and agendas,
warning that the virus in the U.S. is the result of illegal immigration.
That's not prejudice.
That's reality.
I've pointed this out.
Again, this has raised the ire not just of ADL, but many of the mainstream con-inc groups that sought very hard over the last year and a half to cancel me.
That every sovereign nation on every continent, including Israel, closed its borders to foreign travelers and trespassers to head off the purported COVID pandemic.
And if we had learned from swine flu history 11 years ago...
Perhaps the current alleged outbreak would not have resulted in such a delayed and addled response mired in deadly political correctness.
But the ADL is still conducting business as usual and has been during this latest open borders contagion, blithely attacking anti-Semitic racist tropes as the real public health menace.
To which I say, follow the money to find the truth.
ADL and its foundation have raked in nearly $80 million in operating revenues.
That's 2018.
Net assets worth more than $92 million.
It is not our agenda and advocacy that are big business.
It's the anti-white open borders fear mongers who are cashing in.
By my count, the open borders zealots of ADL had filed 17 amicus briefs in courts supporting the obstruction of Trump's immigration enforcement and national security measures such as they were.
And their full-throated promotion of America's demographic transformation through mass migration, of course, stands in stark contrast to their own unapologetic defense of Israel's restrictionist immigration policies and militarized borders.
Heaven forbid.
Heaven forbid you point out the hypocrisy.
In my case, doing so got me kicked out of YAF, kicked off the pages of the New York Post, and barred from multiple GOP events.
Which is why I could only think of the word chutzpah.
When I read this quote from Ben Shapiro after the last election day, smugly trying to take credit for the recent revolt, grassroots revolt, especially among white parents,
he tweeted this, quote, it turns out that everything I don't like is white supremacy is not a good campaign message.
This after almost two years of smearing me and my young friends, who I've defended over the last couple of years, as exactly that.
I end on a positive note, and I hope I have enough time for questions here.
But the bottom line on my road to Damascus journey...
Is that it is never too late.
It is never too late.
There are so many patriots that I'm indebted to in small ways and large who played a role in parting through the darkness.
I started out my journalism career in Los Angeles and Prop 187 was The best lesson I had in the effectiveness of grassroots, bottom-up politics.
I befriended Barbara Coe of the California Coalition on Immigration Reform and Glenn Spencer, who I saw a couple of years ago down on the border, who still hasn't given up on trying to protect it.
Joe Gazzardi and Rob Sanchez and the work and writings.
I mentioned John Miano, Brenda Walker, Ann Corcoran at Refugee Resettlement Watch.
Roy Beck and Dick Lamb and Tom Tancredo and Steve King and Lou Dobbs, Peter, John.
There's so many and I almost regret trying to list them because I know I'm forgetting so many people.
But the urgency in just coming here today and adding some heart to the massive brains that are in this room I think is very important.
Because I'm kicking myself.
And I will do it.
I mean, what is it?
This. Thank you.
Yes. Because I had opportunities all along the way to thank me, to thank people who hadn't given up on me.
And I urge you to do the same for Americans out there.
Don't make the mistake of writing them off as incorrigibly clueless or resistant to this light.
And if this sounds like a thousand points of light speech, I guess it is, but I do want to point out that it wasn't George Bush who came up with that phrase.
It was C.S. Lewis.
And I leave you with this from The Magician's Nephew in 1955.
One moment there had been nothing but darkness.
Next moment, a thousand, thousand points of light leapt out.
Single stars, constellations, and planets.
Brighter and bigger than any in our world.
You are the opposite of what the corporate media, Open Borders, Inc., and all the smear merchants say you are.
You are not the dark.
You are the light.
And I thank you for that.
