Ethnic cleansing has become the fashionable global political crime du jour. As defined:
Ethnic cleansing is the systematic forced removal of ethnic, racial, or religious groups from a given area, with the intent of making a region ethnically homogeneous.

Unherd reports:
… when future historians look back at 2023, the distinguishing feature of this year will likely be the recurrence of ethnic cleansing on a vast scale. In just the past few months, Pakistan has deported nearly half a million Afghan migrants, while Azerbaijan has forced 120,000 Armenians — the statelet’s entire population — from newly-conquered Karabakh, both to broad international indifference.
Not to even mention the Israeli-Palestinian mess. Where they each accuse the other of genocide or intended genocide, which might be defined as successful ethnic cleansing. There is a bit of it going around. As Aris Roussinos says:
Modern Europe was built on exodus and displacement.
Of course. Just like pre-modern Europe, and everywhere else.
Mostly, the currently much noted wickedness of it is to do with two things. The first is its close connection to colonialism. And some nationalities are (ironically) simultaneously cast as both victim and perpetrator. Like Israel. The British Empire, including its outpost Australia, is forever in the frame.
The second reason ethnic cleansing is on the nose is its connection to nationalism. Nationalism is decidedly out of favour with the globalist ruling classes. The two are, indeed, opposites. The very core of the globalist agenda is to either do away with nation states altogether, or, if not and as a holding position, to render them impotent. By taking away their role in governing, for example.
One question arises. Is ethnic cleansing always and everywhere a colonial activity? Is colonialism one directional?
NS Lyons thinks it multi-directional. He points out at his commendable substack, The Upheaval, there is a bit of reverse colonialism taking place, right now, across the globe.
Concerted efforts to elevate all sovereign decision-making from the level of democratic nations to distant supranational (read: imperial) bodies, and to transform every Western nation into Justin Trudeau’s proposed vision for Canada: a “post-national state” where “there is no core identity” – just an arbitrary outline on a map, representing little more than a special economic zone appetizing to our modern species of East India companies. And, most glaringly of all, the utterly unrelenting torrent of mass inward migration: a culture- and demography-shaking tidal wave that, despite years of overwhelming public outcry, remains not only unopposed but actively facilitated by governing elites across the West – the same elites who have spoken openly of their desire to grab their native populations by the hair and “rub [their] noses in diversity.”
There is, it seems to me, simply no more succinct way to accurately describe this ongoing state of affairs than as a form of colonialism. It more than fits the definition. What the citizens of the West are experiencing is dispossession of their homelands and cultures by a rapacious conqueror. But who is this colonizer? Is it some great foreign power bent on conquest? No, clearly not. It is our own regimes that seem to have decided to do this to us on their own accord. But why?
Paul Kingsnorth, drawing on the poet Robert Bly, has offered one adroit way of interpreting this phenomenon: that systematic ideological rejection of our heritage has produced an “inward colonialism” powered by a “culture of inversion.” This inversion, he notes, “has not come about because new things are loved, but because old things are despised.”
what we are seeing is many disparate nations and cultures of the West being simultaneously colonized by the same small, trans-national group of technocratic elites, who no longer identify with or have any loyalty to their own people and who are hell-bent on universally imposing their own authority and identical set of beliefs and values everywhere around the world.
So in a sense there is an over-arching “empire” colonizing us, but this is an empire without a name and without borders – for it actively disdains such distinctions. It is an empire with perhaps the most lunatic ambition of any in history: to rule at a truly global level, controlling the fate of the entire planet and all the masses of humanity, whom it treats as mere interchangeable raw material for its schemes.
Our elites are clearly belittling us. And colonising us. Are our elites trying to ethnically cleanse the rest of us as well? Especially those of a certain age and colour, and of a certain deplorable disposition? Are people of (literal and metaphorical) whiteness at risk? We know that, like many of the newcomers arriving, legally or illegally, on Western shores, our elites hate us. The late Roger Scruton called the “repudiation of inheritance and home” oikophobia. The flip side of xenophobia.

But do they also want, literally, to eliminate us? A bigger claim. There are two stages or methodologies in play in getting rid of us. First, get us out of the public square. Silence us. Make us feel foreign in our own countries. Outsource governance and cultural leadership to international bodies, corporates and cricketers. None of whom are within democratic reach. None are accountable. Deny us a say in our own affairs.
Then, reduce our numbers. The latter can be achieved in two ways, and is easier than you might think. Reduce our numbers in absolute terms. This is a depopulation strategy. It is Bill Gates’ African sterilisation strategy. If he fails, we will have an Africa of around 4 billion people by 2100. The Covid “vaccines” came in handy in this regard, too, as they routinely damage ovaries and reduce male potency. Just look at the worldwide collapse in the birth rate.
And the fine print of the vaccine injuries. Another story.
But there is another part of the strategy. This is to make the deplorables far fewer in number relative to the populations of nations as a whole. This is where mass immigration comes in. As we know, now just under half of Australia’s people have at least one parent born overseas. This will only increase. In Britain, there is increasing recognition that whites will soon be a minority. As John Cleese has said (to his cost), London(istan) ain’t what it used to be. It is a different place, even though Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey and St Paul’s are still there. For the moment. The institutional infrastructure of Western culture might eventually go the way of the Cecil Rhodes statues.
It is beginning to look a lot like a plan.
Which brings us to replacement theory. Surprise, surprise, it isn’t always seen a favourable light, among the usual suspects.
The Great Replacement conspiracy theory is a white supremacist, xenophobic, and anti-immigrant concept that posits white people are being replaced by immigrants, Muslims, and other people of color in their so-called “home” countries. The conspiracy often blames the “elite” and Jews for orchestrating these changing demographics. The Great Replacement was conceived of by a Frenchman, Renaud Camus, who popularized the idea in his 2011 book Le Grand Remplacement. The concept spread like wildfire in Europe, particularly through the sprawling transnational white supremacist group Generation Identity and its social media accounts.
This has a bad name among the chattering classes as a whole. Its reality is denied.
But it isn’t new, and wasn’t an invention of the conspiracy theorists. The progressives invented it, as it happens. It is also called mass immigration. Felix Marquardt’s book, The New Nomads: How the Migration Revolution is Making the World a Better Place (2021), deals with the phenomenon and he loves it (as the sub-title makes clear). Its thesis – our times require more migration, not less.
Reverse colonisation is occurring every day, now. Across the Anglosphere. It is policy. And not new. And celebrated by the left, decades ago. As Steven Tucker at The Daily Sceptic notes:
The poem Colonisation in Reverse came from a 1966 collection by black Jamaican poet Louise Bennett, and was displayed to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the docking of the SS Empire Windrush, carrying what is often claimed to have been the first meaningful number of non-white Caribbean immigrants to settle in the UK back in 1948 – the exceedingly exaggerated founding fairy-tale of British multiculturalism. Yet as Bennett’s poem featured deliberately misspelled patois lines like “Jamaica people colonizin/Englan in reverse”, something gloatingly billed as being “joyful news”, some dissenting sceptics interpreted the poem’s display as nothing more than woke anti-white race-baiting, pure and simple, funded from the public purse.
https://dailysceptic.org/2023/12/14/colonisation-in-reverse/?highlight=ethnic%20cleansing
Louise Bennett thought it was a thing. A thing to be celebrated.
Now, sixty years later, we are all merely “fungible citizens of the world”, as Tucker describes it. We are in the middle of a global revolution, and despite the hyper-bleatings of the highly voiced, perennial victim class, which provide endless “look over there” moments, the direction of travel points towards final victory for the once colonised. Revenge is best served cold. And at best, the marginalisation of whitey and, at worst his elimination. Whether this is to be celebrated or not, it is real.
Left-of-centre governments, and those supposedly a little to the right, have been engaged in a global, decades-long project of reversing colonisation. Whether by design or simple gullibility, falling asleep at the wheel. Conservatives have been along for the ride. Blair, Cameron, Howard, Costello, Rudd, Morrison, Albanese. Trudeau. Macron. Merkel. And we mustn’t forget Sleepy Joe. And as we know (from the left), where goes colonialism, goes ethnic cleansing. So long as we know. As so long as we occasionally point out these facts of the new political life to our betters.
Remembering the definition:
Ethnic cleansing is the systematic forced removal of ethnic, racial, or religious groups from a given area, with the intent of making a region ethnically homogeneous.
Or, heterogeneous. It fits. Systematic. Forced. Removal. We didn’t make this up.

Add Malcolm Fraser to the list of the pathetic PM creatures mentioned. That government allowed a flood of Vietnamese so called refugees, many of whom were of the numerous criminal class in that sorry excuse for a country, Vietnam.
There are 2 basic classes of Australians who are responsible for our immigration clusterfuck. There are the starry eyed ideologues so rightly pilloried in this article. Then there are the Boosters, Growth At Any Cost Crowd who see nothing but dollars in their narrow, selfish minds. There is likely some overlap in these cohorts.
These are the vermin who need to be targeted if we are to save Australia from becoming some third world hell hole.
God bless you Paul as you celebrate Jesus the hope and redeemer of the world. We await His return. Come Lord Jesus, come.
