Its civilization is farrnsuperior to the invading novelties emanatingrnfrom North America.” Whenrnunited, Europe will have a greater influencernon international affairs. “By that Irndo not mean intruding into evervthingrnthe way America does. I mean influencingrnmatters that really concern us, like internationalrntrade. America is trying tornimpose a globalist free market. A unitedrnEurope can and must protect itself fromrnthat.” When asked what Europe can do,rnGoldsmith replies, “First of all, don’t bernimpressed by American threats.” Europernruns a large trade deficit with the UnitedrnStates. “Isn’t it strange to see the sellerrnthreaten his client and even strangerrnto see the client take these threats seriously?”rnIf Europe will not go alongrnwith global free trade, Mickey Kantorrnwon’t let them watch the next JurassicrnPark.rnThe Trap is essential reading for allrnAmericans. In French and English it explainsrnwhy the European Union will bernprosperous only if it is founded on thernbasis of prosperous and independent nations.rnThe French original makes clearrnthat a major obstacle to this goal is therninterventionist and globalist UnitedrnStates regime, founded by PresidentrnRoosevelt in 1933 and still very much inrncontrol.

In late September, Dr. J.rnRicker Polsdorfer, the Peace Corps’ directorrnof medical services in Africa, wasrnfired for promoting abstinence as arnmethod of preventing AIDS. Dr. Polsdorfer’srncrimes, according to the PeacernCorps director in Zimbabwe, were thatrnhe “pushed this stance to the point thatrnyou promote only abstention, disapprovernof the use of condoms and have openlyrnexpressed the belief that sexual relationsrnwith host country nationals should bernagainst Peace Corps policy.”rnFrom teaching English, distributingrnfood, and digging irrigation ditches torninstalling “confidence in condoms” andrnencouraging sexual liaisons with thernoverseas hosts—how the Peace Corpsrnhas changed in 35 years. When startedrnby President Kennedy in 1961, the PeacernGorps focused exclusively on fightingrnpoverty, hunger, and illiteracy in thernThird World; its volunteers waged thernCold War on the humanitarian front,rnbattling Soviet influence in these countriesrnwith shovels, schoolbooks, andrnby the sweat of their brow. But withrnthe Cold War over and Western consumerismrnand egalitarianism the officialrnfuture of mankind, Americans can nowrnmove on from feeding the hungry tornsatisfying equally basic needs. The recentrnU.N. Convention on Women’srnRights, where the sterilization of thernThird World was planned as a humanitarianrngesture, was a preview of comingrnattractions, and the condemnation lastrnsummer of Zimbabwe President RobertrnMugabe by the U.S. Congress showedrnhow dissidents in the new order will bernpressured to conform.rnAt the opening of the Zimbabwe InternationalrnBook Fair in August, PresidentrnMugabe called homosexuals “perverts”rnwho didn’t deserve civil rights andrnthen denied a gay rights group representationrnat the fair. In support of theirrnpresident, some 500 members of Mugabe’srnZanu Party celebrated in thernstreets of downtown Harare; even thernZimbabwe Council of Churches, comprisingrnLutheran, Methodist, Anglican,rnand Catholic leaders, supported Mugabe’srnactions.rnSeventy outraged members of thernU.S. Congress immediately sent a letterrnof protest to Mugabe, denouncing hisrn”anti-homosexual campaign.” Concernedrnfor the well-being of its gay delegates,rnthe World Council of Churchesrnchimed in and threatened to cancel itsrnEighth Assembly, scheduled to meet inrnHarare in 1998. None of this fazed Mugabernin the least. “Let the Americansrnkeep their sodomy, bestiality, stupid andrnfoolish ways to themselves,” he said.rn”Let the gays be gays in the United Statesrnand Europe, but they shall be sad peoplernhere.” Homosexuality should be treatedrn”as a criminal offense, like theft,” hernconcluded. Since many Third Worldrncountries punish thieves by cutting offrnthe offending member, Mugabe’s analogyrnmakes homosexuals uncomfortable.rn”I have no idea what he thinks hernis doing,” said an unnamed Americanrndiplomat to the Deutsche Presse Agentur.rnThat Mugabe might be governingrnhis country the way his people want itrnto be governed, this was irrelevant.rn”Zimbabwe has very severe economicrnand political problems that need desperaternattention,” said the diplomat, sorn”why is he [Mugabe] going on aboutrngays?” The more obvious question isrnwhy American leaders are “going onrnabout gays” in an inconsequential countryrnsome 7,000 miles away.rn—Theodore PappasrnT H E CALIFORNIA Civil Rights Initiativernwas headed for trouble from thernstart.
