Late last month I observed that Dearborn has come to represent the future of the Democratic Party. I cited Chuck Ross’s Free Beacon story “Three Rising Democratic Stars To Appear Alongside Hamas Lovers at Anti-Israel Conference in America’s ‘Jihad Capital.’” The subhead named three names: “Abdul El-Sayed, Rep Ro Khanna, and Michigan lieutenant governor Garlin Gilchrist are all slated to appear at ArabCon.” Ross reported that ArabCon convened an anti-Israel jamboree including “a deep roster of Hamas sympathizers and anti-Semites.”
Dearborn may represent the future of the United States if we don’t turn off the immigration spigot. My own reporting on the massive Somali frauds in the Twin Cities raises the issue in another form. I tried to get at it, most recently, in “The fraud this time.” What is to be done? The first thing is probably to open our eyes and see what is in front of our nose.
Nathan Pinkoski is a fellow at the Center for Renewing America and at the Institute for Philosophy, Technology, and Politics. He is the best young writer on politics I know of. Everything he writes is worth reading.
Pinkoski’s Substack site is Lament for the Nations. In his post “The veil is torn,” Pinkoski noted the publication of a new edition of Jean Raspail’s dystopian novel The Camp of the Saints with his own introduction.
In his post he also included the video below on the challenge of Islamism. The video derives from his speech at the NatCon 2025 conference in Washington last month. The text of his speech is titled “Rivers of Blood Return: The West Must Re-evaluate Everything about Immigration.”
Pinkoski’s speech is in part an exposition of Enoch Powell’s so-called “Rivers of Blood” speech of 1968 — a speech that, to the extent it is remembered at all, remains as infamous as Raspail’s novel. Earlier this year Pinkoski published a primer on “The Islamist threat to American communities.” It makes for a good companion to his NatCon 2025 speech.
Our friend Chuck Chalberg is professor of history emeritus at Normandale Community College in Blooomington, Minnesota. The Imaginative Conservative has just published Chuck’s review “Jean Raspail’s The Camp of the Saints returns.” Chuck’s review provides the occasion to revisit Pinkoski’s contributions to this critical subject.
