It honors the memory of a jewish mega-donor’s grandparents.
This is an old story that isn’t as widely known as it deserves to be. Brenda Walker touched on it recently in The Van Jones Fiasco—How Low Can Lefty Greens Go?
David Gelbaum has shunned publicity while giving millions to preserve California wilderness and teach youths about nature.

He has given more money to conservation causes in California than anyone else. His gifts have helped protect 1,179 square miles of mountain and desert landscapes, an area the size of Yosemite National Park.
His donations to wilderness education programs have made it possible for 437,000 inner-city schoolchildren to visit the mountains, the desert or the beach often for the first time.
Over a decade of steadily growing contributions including more than $100 million to the Sierra Club this mathematician turned financial angel has taken great pains to remain anonymous.
I used to live in California. It was nice, until it started turning into Mexico.
“I did tell [Sierra Club Executive Director] Carl Pope in 1994 or 1995 that if they ever came out anti-immigration, they would never get a dollar from me.”
Gelbaum said he was a substantial donor at the time but not yet the club’s largest benefactor. Immigration arose as an issue in 1994 because Proposition 187, which threatened to deny public education and health care to illegal immigrants, was on the state’s ballot.
He said he was so upset by the idea of “pulling kids out of school” that he donated more than $180,000 to the campaign to oppose Proposition 187. After the measure passed, he said, he donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to civil rights lawyers who ultimately got the measure struck down in court.
Gelbaum, who reads the Spanish-language newspaper La Opinión and is married to a Mexican American, said his views on immigration were shaped long ago by his grandfather, Abraham, a watchmaker who had come to America to escape persecution of Jews in Ukraine before World War I.
“I asked, ‘Abe, what do you think about all of these Mexicans coming here?’ ” Gelbaum said. “Abe didn’t speak English that well. He said, ‘I came here. How can I tell them not to come?’
“I cannot support an organization that is anti-immigration. It would dishonor the memory of my grandparents.”
My entire extended family and most everyone I knew voted for Prop 187. It was one of the few times in my life that the government showed any interest in the citizenry’s opinion about immigration. I didn’t realize until more than 10 years later that our democracy is actually a cryptic form of plutocracy, and the plutocrats want genocidal levels of immigration.
Prop 187 passed and the voters went about their business, thinking the matter resolved. Then a judge killed it, though most of us didn’t hear about that, because the media supports genocidal immigration too.
Paul Craig Roberts wrote about it in Throw out-of-control Judge Pfaelzer off the bench, Apr 24, 1998:
Judges are so out of control today that a single federal judge thinks nothing about casting aside popular referendums passed by the votes of millions of citizens and imposing outcomes that are the opposite of what was voted.
The latest example is U.S. district judge Mariana Pfaelzer, who declared on March 13 that California citizens must tax themselves to meet the needs of illegal aliens. Pfaelzer, it seems, is under the influence of University of Chicago professor Martha Nussbaum, who teaches that the concept of national citizenship is too exclusive and “morally dangerous.” Justice and equality, she claims, require “allegiance to the worldwide community of human beings.”
Californians think not, but who are they to matter? Pfaelzer has thrown out California’s Proposition 187, which restricted illegal aliens from living off taxpayers.
Fast forward a decade or so and California has been bankrupted by immigration, its White population deliberately displaced and dispossessed by “diversity”. So what’s on the Sierra Club’s agenda now?
Sierra Club Insider: Yep, We’re Too White, July 28, 2009:
“We are proud that Sierra Club has successful diversity programs already established,” said the Sierra Club President Allison Chin. “Now, with the leadership of a diversity council and my election as our first Asian-American president, the Sierra Club is committed to becoming an even more welcoming and inclusive organization.”
Judging by their reaction, White members did not feel either welcomed or included. Unfortunately for them, the Sierra Club has more than 100 million reasons not to care.
Two reactions where the sense of betrayal comes through crystal clear:
Immigrants typically come to the US with 3rd world birthrates and 1st world appetites — the WORST POSSIBLE COMBINATION from an ecological standpoint.
I’m white and I got a vasectomy and had no kids, because long ago I realized the Earth didn’t need more humans. This was a good-faith decision on my part.
How do open borders advocates respond when I tell them that? Almost inevitably I am mocked, often times with semi-literate obscenities and mindless machismo bluster. It doesn’t make me feel like grovelling for their approval, I’ll tell you that.

Yes, I remember during the 60s/70s, there was that jerk, Paul Ehrlich who talked about having “0 Population growth.” Our generation even had propaganda movies like: Soylent Green, Roller Ball, Logan’s Run and a couple of Star Trek episodes to drive the point home.
Since I was a kid at the time being indoctrinated with this BS, I didn’t realize that Kennedy passed the 1965 Immigration Bill NOR did I know about La Raza, MEChA and other groups that were teaching about AZTLAN/ANAHUAC and they planned to outbreed us to reclaim lost Mexican Territory the AZTLAN plan or in the ANAHUAC case to reclaim the entire Americas and boot everyone else out.
Now, our grand reward for watching our birth rates for Mother Earth because of Ehrlich’s (Population Bomb) is to be made fun of for “not making babies.”
And the Sierra Club, the Rockefellers (Club of Rome)and other bogus “green” groups continue to look completely the other way when we’re being flooded with immigration (both legal and illegal) to drive down wages, displace our own legal citizens’ jobs and Balkanize our nation.
By the way, immigrants (legal and illegal) also use water and other resources. We can cut back and conserve but that will be entirely negated with continued uncontrolled growth.
Thanks a lot.

What’s happening to California, with the rest of the US not far behind, is not an accident. It’s the result of a deliberate drive to “diversify” White Americans into minority status. Then non-existence. It’s genocide.
The uncomplicated fact is that E-Verify WORKS! And it is up, running and operational, so that illegal foreign workers other than a few using counterfeit documents will be discovered and eliminated from the workplace. It’s easy to understand why the Special interest lobbyists want it dropped, because it has grown in popularity and more sincere Pro-American companies are using it? Another simple fact is that its—SUCCEEDING! It is now hurting the elusive Council of Foreign Relations agenda to destabilize American workers and substitute even more cut-rate labor. The CFR are not even a government agency, but a Quasi agency that is a kind of sinister think tank. For years they have been formatting their power to undo the poorly built border fence, wreck inspections at airports, so millions more can pour into American and steal jobs. Nor does matter to the illicit ACLU, a communist inspired group or business consortium’s, who owe no loyalty to US workers? It is a case of drowning America in low wage recruits, who are not just working in the fields, but janitors, fast food, factories, warehouses and higher paying jobs then citizens and legal employees realize?. AMERICAN WORKERS MUST MAKE A STAND. Anybody who legally displays the E-Verify sign should get the customers dollars, those who don’t comply should be absolutely BOYCOTTED. I go to El Pollo Loco, but not to McDonalds-because I haven’t seen the E-Verify sign yet? Same I only try to buy AMERICAN? But that is even becoming more indefinable, because many parts of products are imported in from cheap labor countries, killing our own manufacturing base. WE ARE SELF-INFLICTING OUR OWN WOUNDS?
The same with not training our own workers and instead imported significantly more labor from other lands by the millions each year. Thus we cheat our own industries. We can beat this, by electing politicians who sign a–CONTRACT– stating American workers come first? Not those just affirming an oath of office, since to many it’s meaningless. These contracts can be published and shown to the public and the national media. We are cutting our own throats in so many ways, because many bona-fide US Americans don’t bother to vote the political corruption–OUT OF OFFICE. Most of the lawmakers are out for gain, not truly there to protect the American poor, not protecting our vulnerable senior’s, not even really protecting our military, if they even come home? With the health care reform as a major issue, then research you’re local, state of federal lawmaker and locate their screened interests in pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, insurance, billing companies or anything that exudes money? They are just coveting their own interests? THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE THE ULTIMATE POWER, TO STOP THIS TRAVESTY OF OUR IMMIGRATION LAWS.
The pit of Vipers led by Sen. Harry Reid and joined by Liberal Democrat leaders last week–KILLED–by a vote of 61 to 38 shot down Senator Vitters amendment of that would have withdrawn federal funds to–SANCTUARY CITIES AND STATES. It is more taxpayer money being stolen to support illegal families, gang members and other heinous criminals who broached our laws. The IRS is actually extracting the money you earn, to take it in April, to support Anchor families included with the 20 million to thirty million people that should be ejected from our nation. Homeland security run by Napolitano is in deep collusion with sleaze that is catered to in Washington. Perhaps–just perhaps if we used public funding for election Campaigns for the politicians, it would assist in removing the corruption in DC, severing the lobbyists. Speaker of the House is another problem, who runs her vineyards with illegal foreign workers in CALIFORNIA. But that is just scratching the surface of both parties as they are perpetually involved in running the country for the globalists.
Only if we stand together and demand E-Verify program, our uniformed police right to question and detain people of unauthorized immigration status 287 G? Hopefully next year Americans will see through the greed, in the Senate and house and start by–REMOVING–Sen. Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. Both have millions of illegal aliens living off taxpayers in California and Nevada. GO and investigate their immigration grading and every lawmaker at NUMBERSUSA website. Vote them out? WE MUST HAVE E-VERIFY AS A MANDATED LAW, SEN. HARRY REID SOLD US OUT TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER. CALL YOUR LEGISLATORS TODAY AT 202-224-3121 and give them an ULTIMATUM. Businesses that hire the millions of illegal aliens are bleeding us dry, because we pay for the health care and education and for hundreds of thousands in the prisons. Your tax dollars are paying for warm cells and California has the largest proportion of any state. MAKE ENTERING AMERICA A CLASS ONE FELONY, LIKE OTHER DEVELOPED COUNTRIES. EVEN MEXICO YOU ARE DRAGGED INTO ONE OF THOSE REPUGNANT PRISONS.
Now they want to push another BLANKET AMNESTY upon us. The Democrats have promised those already here a path to citizenship, that defies all logic. It means access to our health care reform instantly, totalization of social security with those from South of the border. It means sharing your retirement with the majority of foreign nationals who been sponging of Americans for decades. It means more welfare for the old, the indigent who will follow on, through chain migration. It means your living standards falling to that of third world existence. If Amnesty passes do you think for one minute that those without hope in other countries are—NOT–going to pour through our porous border? I’m getting old, but I fear for my son’s future, my family. I have my pensions, but where do you stand? Will you get a pension upon retirement? Our infrastructure has suffered, because we send our young people to fight foreign wars for special interests. For years those who supposedly embody us in Washington, have seriously neglected our road, rail, utilities and communications network. The special interests are the multi-national companies, who have no loyalty to America, the people or the US Constitution. Then there are the majority of our politicians, who have slowly succumbed to business handouts? The only thing they have any loyalty to, is filling their own bank accounts with campaign contributions and undisclosed lucrative gifts. DID AMERICA COME ALL THIS WAY TO SINK BELOW A LAYER OF GREED AND UNBELIEVABLE CORRUPTION IN WASHINGTON, SINCE THE TIME OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION?
Britannicus — could you post a link to a site that lists the voting on that bill that shot down denial of funds to sanctuary cities? I want to check up on a few people, in particular Sam Farr.
If a group will with statistical certainty produce a few individuals who cause your own group’s extinction, then there is a right of separation. In fact a duty of separation. Posts like this help establish this foundation. The critical role in funding the California court case you have pointed out alone is a material cause of genocide and ethnic cleansing of whites.
The right of separation is not with the genociding group but the genocidee. Its the right of whites to demand separation not of those genociding us to say we can’t ask for separation. Those who block us from asking for this do their harm as well and that also gives us the right to demand separation.
I agree OAL.
I wouldn’t bother demanding separation. I’d draw a line on a map, and say whites only(multi-culti liberal shitheads excepted)one side of the line and everyone else on the other. Anyone who objects…well, I won’t say anything about that.
The real challenge is for white people to regain control of the social environment in which they live. A necessary step is to oust all people mentally infected with a PC thought process; from that environment by whatever means necessary.
More Israeli expulsion of immigrants in Israel, yet American Jews here rail against the same happening here: http://jta.org/news/article/2009/10/13/1008484/israel-likely-to-deport-1200-foreign-workers-children
“I cannot support an organization that is anti-immigration. It would dishonor the memory of my grandparents.”
I bet he would change his tune if there were millions of Nazis immigrating to the US and creating pro-Nazi organizations.
That is essentially the argument made by jews like Auster and Steinlight, who oppose immigration because it is bad for jews, specifically because it lets “anti-semites” in.
Whites who argue that immigration is bad are considered enemies of the state.
Roxan, you’re a friggin idiot
