– The Plan to Destroy America — and It’s All on Record

In 2003, a warning rang out — one that sounds almost prophetic today. It didn’t come from a conservative firebrand or a political outsider. It came from a Democrat.

Year was 2003 – The Plan to Destroy America and It’s All on Record

Former Colorado Governor Richard “Dick” Lamm (D), who led his state from 1975 to 1987, delivered a speech introducing historian Victor Davis Hanson, whose book Mexifornia dissected the social and political consequences of unchecked immigration and cultural fragmentation. Lamm’s words — titled “My Plan to Destroy America” — outlined, point by point, how a nation could be undone from within.

Two decades later, his “plan” reads less like a hypothetical and more like a roadmap that has been followed faithfully.

The Warning That No One Heeded

Lamm said plainly: “If you think America is too smug, too rich, too self-satisfied — not diverse enough, too white bread — I have a plan to destroy it.”
He then listed eight steps.

First, make the nation bilingual and bicultural. History, he warned, shows that no country divided by language and culture can live peacefully with itself. Yet, rather than encouraging assimilation, we now glorify division. The melting pot has been replaced by the “salad bowl,” a metaphor for separation rather than unity.

Second, invent multiculturalism — and enforce it through social shaming. Claim that all cultures are equal and that it’s wrong to suggest otherwise. By promoting permanent identity politics, citizens would stop seeing themselves as Americans first and instead as members of competing groups.

Third, let the fastest-growing demographic also be the least educated. Build an underclass dependent on government and loyal to the hand that feeds it.

Fourth, fund the grievance industry. Use foundations, media, and academia to amplify victimhood and resentment until unity becomes impossible.

Fifth, encourage dual citizenship — divided loyalties that erode the very idea of one nation under one flag.

Sixth, make dissent taboo. Anyone questioning the plan should be branded a racist, xenophobe, or extremist.

Seventh, refuse to enforce immigration law. Pretend that because immigration worked in the past, it must always work, no matter how uncontrolled it becomes.

And finally, censor anyone who exposes the scheme.

A Plan Fulfilled

Those who read Mexifornia or heard Mark Levin’s 2013 broadcast reviving Lamm’s speech knew exactly what was coming. Yet the warnings were dismissed as “fear-mongering.” Now, twenty-plus years later, we’re living the results.

America has become what Lamm described: a bilingual, bicultural, hyper-fragmented society where division is celebrated and unity is mocked. The grievance industry thrives; social media algorithms reward outrage; and every issue — from language to bathrooms — becomes a battlefield of identity.

Education has collapsed in many communities, leaving generations unequipped to think critically or understand history. Meanwhile, the border crisis has morphed into a humanitarian and national security disaster. The same political establishment that ignored these warnings now tells us that objecting to chaos is “hate.”

The Democratic Party of the mid-1970s — the one that still believed in borders, hard work, and opportunity — has been replaced by activists who see America not as a nation to preserve but as a system to dismantle.

The Real Enemy: Apathy

The most sobering truth of all? We let it happen.

Victor Davis Hanson warned. Dick Lamm explained. Mark Levin shouted it from the rooftops. Yet the everyday citizens — those who call themselves “the silent majority” — stayed silent too long. Normal Americans were too busy, too polite, or too trusting to believe that their own leaders might trade sovereignty for power.

A nation cannot be conquered if its people refuse to surrender. But it can be destroyed from within if its citizens stop defending it. As Lamm cited from historian Arnold Toynbee: “All great nations commit suicide.”

Waking Up Before It’s Too Late

The tape still exists. The words are still there. And the proof is all around us — from open borders to silenced speech to schools more focused on ideology than literacy.

The good news? Awareness is rising. Millions of Americans, regardless of party, are waking up to the consequences of neglecting their country’s foundation.

The question is not whether the plan was real. The question is whether we have the courage to reverse it.
