Our New Anahuac

A big thanks to Brother Rodolfo X of the Houston Mosque of The Nation of Islam for the heads up on this article. According to an AP report published in the FinalCall.com, Spain has turned to immigrant so-called Latinos (racial mestizos) to fill the ranks of its military.

Spain has struggled to recruit soldiers since it abolished the draft in 2000 and created an all-professional army. At one point it even lowered the IQ threshold for enlistees, although it later raised it again, and eventually opened up the military to immigrants. Today, such foreigners—most of them young Latin Americans—make up nearly seven percent of the military’s 80,000-member force…The military is not open to all immigrants, but rather just ones from countries with which Spain has historical, cultural and linguistic links. That means most of the countries of Latin America and Equatorial Guinea, a former Spanish colony in West Africa.

The article makes mention of the economic disparities between the immigrants and the native-born Spaniards, and implies that a newly wealthy Spanish populace might not be willing to serve in its own armed forces, but seems more than willing to pay poor Central Americans and Mexicans to kill for them.

The significance of this arrangement might not jump off the page right away without some thought.

As a nationalist, I have been arguing for years that we, as an indigenous people, have never made a serious effort to rid ourselves of the mental colonization brought to us by the Spaniards. In fact, most of us are still a mentally colonized people and display all of the mal-adaptive behaviors of a people held in bondage.

In this move, Spain is recognizing the loyalty of its former slaves. After having looked abroad for people to pick up arms in its own defense, it is tacitly recognizing that its former slave still harbors a sentimental feeling for its former slave driver, or at least more loyalty than non-former slaves. After all, any reasonable nation would only fill the ranks of its military with those it feels would be the most loyal. It took the further step of excluding all other immigrants and conferring a special status among mestizos, which is another classic technique of mental colonization.

Let us take this analysis one step further. One of the reasons that Mexico and Central America is in the shape that it is in today is because of the massive amounts of precious metals stolen from us by Spain. So, Spain impoverishes our entire hemisphere and five hundred years later grants us the right to “earn” a decent living by killing others for it. Spain continues to reap the benefits of its colonization to this day, and instead of having at least an ethical bias against our former master, Spain seems to think we have a slight preferance for it. It seems that we do.
