This book has transformed my understanding of what the Deep State enemies of the Catholic Church did in the 20th century to scatter and destroy Catholics and Catholic culture.

The missing jigsaw piece on American urban planning, 20th century history, ethnic studies, sociology, etc. We are talking about the largest ethnic cleansing in human history and no one seems to have written about it and explain it the way Jones has done.

This is especially pertinent today with the Obama administration trying to fine the Catholic Church into oblivion. The evil edicts like so called "hate crimes", same-sex "marriage" and the Health & Human Services mandate forcing everyone to pay for contraceptives, sterilization and abortion with no conscience protection for religious beliefs are just a few of their tricks.

In majority Protestant America, the Catholic side of the story is omitted. In "Slaughter of Cities: Urban Renewal As Ethnic Cleansing" we see the 'war' waged against Catholic Americans by the combined forces of Quakers, mainline Protestants, and Progressives of every stripe.

Detroit, once the arsenal of democracy, is now in the same shape as post WWII, 1945 Dresden, for a reason. Mr. Jones reveals that reason.

It's a thick book.
The details are very impressinve.
The book is 80-90% factual accounts of history, detailed local history, with the remainder as commentary on the motivation for the actions taken. Very meticulously researched, I can only wonder how the author had time to do all this!
For those who want to know what forces worked to make them who they are today, this book fills in many gaps that I was never taught in government school, either secondary or university level.
As a Catholic who bemoans the fact that there is no truly Catholic Voting block in our country, this book helps to explain the why.

I've read 50 pages, less than 10% of the book. Based on that, I highly recommend it to those who are interested in US History, and in particular, those who want to understand Catholic US History, what role of Catholics played in our country, or perhaps better phrased, what role have they been allowed.

very interesting

Fascinating take on 20th century American, Urban culture and history.
The arguments and episodes in the book are summarized and personified in the person of Dennis Clark, an Irish Catholic, who adopts the liberal Catholic stance and fights for racial justice. His career is a sad journey of self delusion, as he works for the Quakers and WASP establishment to subvert Catholic neighborhoods and destroy the ethnic parish, thinking all along he is doing the good work. In fact, he is a tool, and, in the end, he becomes disillusioned with the contradictions inherent in his life, leaves Catholicism, and becomes something of a fetish Irish Nationalist.
This summarizes much of the urban history in America.
The WASP establishment takes on the demographic/political threat of African Americans and Catholics by forming foundations dedicated to the overthrow and destruction of their cultures and neighborhoods, and through the promotion of sexual liberation and birth control, with the design of demographic destruction. Manipulation of housing policies and migration, subordinated to the Ford principle of cheap labor, and demographic annihilation wreak havok on American cities.
The book presents a very interest narrative in the advent of the concept of 'whiteness', and shows that most of the standard literature on race in America is essentially bunk, missing the true dynamic of proxy warfare, and focused on irrelevant details, essentially 'blaming the victim' of social engineering for racism.
The section on MLK and his proxy warfare, the dishonest threat behind his rallies, complicity in the funding of violent gangs, and his moral bankruptcy is especially interesting.
A great read.

This is one of the most important and enlightening works of history I have ever read. Why are our cities the way there are today, i.e. utterly failed polities, with glittering downtown business areas of skyscrapers and sports arenas surrounded by dangerous and poor black and brown ghettoes utterly dependent on government jobs and government handouts for survival, with a few leftover White enclaves eking out a sort of parlous existence in their midst? Everyone knows it wasn't always like that. People who were alive in the 50s and 60s and even 70s lived in different kinds of cities, safe places that functioned, places where people wanted to live and had proud roots, places whose demographics resembled that of America. But suddenly neighborhoods started to "change" (to use the preferred euphemism of the refugees) and almost the entire population of many American cities simply fled. Even among those displaced, it has always been assumed that this was a organic process; i.e. different people simply wanted to move in, and we didn't want to live with them, so we left. However, E. Michael Jones clearly shows here, in this incredible work of scholarship, that the White inhabitants of American cities were deliberately ethnically cleansed.

By the 1940s, American cities- at least in the major Northeastern and Midwest cities like Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland, et al., had experienced a demographic revolution, in which the native American Protestant Anglo-Saxon people had become outnumbered by predominantly "White ethnics", i.e. Irish, Italian and Polish for the most part who, although separated by sometimes contentious ethnic differences, were in the process of becoming a powerful and cohesive group due to intermarriage and their shared Catholic faith. Although the root cause of this demographic change came about because of the great wave of immigration that lasted from the 1880s to 1920s, it was exacerbated by the upper and middle-class WASP embrace of contraception; The WASP elite, enamored of the secular good life, had chosen not to reproduce. Conversely, because of cultural inclination and religious strictures against contraception, the Catholic ethnics had large families. If demography is destiny, then the WASP American ruling class, although still dominant in business, culture and politics, was on its way out. They would never have enough babies to compete with the the hated Catholic ethnics, who were doubly despised because of their presumed foreign loyalties and perceived anti-democratic tendencies.

What must also be understood is that the conflict was based on more than simple ethnic or religious competition- although those_are_aspects that have heretofore been ignored- but on two basically incompatible ideologies. By this point in history, to be a member of America's WASP ruling elite (a group which included amenable Jews) was to fervently embrace a hodge-podge of secular humanist or progressive beliefs, with particular emphasis on racial egalitarianism, sexual freedom, popuation control, materialism, capitalism, liberal politics, and the cooperation of Big Business and an all-powerful central government in imposing this millenial gospel not only on America but on a benighted world. The Second World War gave them their first opportunity to advance this vision and reverse the demographic trends in America that were threatening to displace them. They did this with the underhanded, dishonest and Machiavellian malevolence we have come to understand as being characteristic of the WASP elite. Rather than openly oppose the White ethnics politically or even physically, as their ancestors did in the 19th century, they worked in secret to remove them to the suburbs, where their ethnic cohesion would be broken, their religious beliefs undermined and they would be spirtually and mentally remade as "good Americans", using all the economic, educational and media powers the WASP elite controlled.

With the certainty of war with Nazi Germany, American society began militarizing and re-arming. The Northern armaments factories needed workers so the elite saw the opportunity to accomplish two simultaneous goals with tactics that proved effective wherever they were tried. First, under the aegis of local sanitary boards and slum clearance schemes, the economical and beloved row house of the White ethnics were condemned as unsanitary and unsightly and bulldozed by the hundreds of thousands. The displaced people were ostensibly to be moved into new government high-rise housing projects in the same area, but those were instead turned over to black war-workers from the South, whose presence integrated the neighborhoods and broke the unions. Low-interest loans from the FHA induced the displaced people to take their only option of buying homes in the suburbs. Of those remaining Whites in the cities, groups like the Quakers (revealed here to be a despicable pseudo-religion of liberal hypocrisy) and the major WASP foundations conspired to surreptitiously buy houses in White neighborhoods and sell them to black families. The stated intention was integration but the known effect was ethnic cleansing. Whites who attempted to resist were put down by the force of the law and morally condemned by all organs of public opinion. Finally, the same groups that ethnically cleansed the cities began to integrate the suburbs where the Whites had fled. This is a sad and tragic tale, which recounts exactly how our modern day urban hellholes were deliberately_created_by liberals.

The Catholic Church, because it was mentally hobbled by the zeitgeist of racial egalitarianism, either did nothing or welcomed the invasion, despite knowing full well the results of racial change in its very strongholds. Catholic liberals, like the loathesome Dennis Clark, actively worked for the destruction of their own neighborhoods and their own Church. I used to recoil at the phrase "n***er-lover, but after reading this book I find that it accurately describes a species of liberal, represented here by Clark, so deluded and debased that he will destroy his own people to advance the interests of the black race, which his ideology has romanticized to the point where the African is literally deified in his diseased mind.

This is a tragic tale, whose results we are living with today. This story is of personal and bitter interest to those of us who were ethnically cleansed or are descended from those who were. It has modern day lessons though:

*The White ethnics thought they could flee to the suburbs. They were wrong. The Evil that rules us would never let them enjoy the clean, safe and successful all-White societies they would inevitably create. That would be "racist" and the powers-that-are will pursue us as far as we can run to ensure that we are integrated, denigrated and degenerated. We can't fight back by retreating.

*The media smeared the White ethnics as evil racists, to which the White ethnics had no answer except sputtering rage. They didn't have the intellectual ammunition to respond with the rational retort that community integrity and cultural cohesion were just as, if not more important than"equality" and "integration." Because their intellectual education came solely from the same people who were trying to destroy them, the White ethnics were already beaten before they had begun to fight. Today at least we have more sources of info than the daily newspapers and 4 TV channels.

*Voting didn't work. By the time White ethnics achieved enough political power to elect one of their own, the demographics had already shifted too far. In several of the cities studied here, it was only a few years after the White ethnics first elected a Catholic mayor that the demographic tipping point came, consigning them to political impotency, and a future as the producing class for a parastitic super-majority. Whites fled the cities because they had no democratic recourse. Should we believe today that we should surrender or flee because a coalition of our enemies outnumber us 51% to 49%? Or should we think of new paradigms for the exercise of political power?

The ideological descendants of the same people who ethnically cleansed the cities are today flooding America with Third World immigration, in a racial endgame which wil determine the future of the North American continent and of the White race. There are no more places to run away to where the government will leave us alone. We are basically cornered. Will we resist in the only way we can, in the only way that counts or has ever counted? Will we go gently into that good night, or will we fight?
