This creates favorable conditions for global institutions to consolidate power and ultimately assume the role of a global government, Mr. Newman said told EpochTV’s “Crossroads“ in a recent interview.
One of the objectives of mass migration is “to undermine national homogeneity,” Mr. Newman said, citing late United Nations migration chief Peter Sutherland. “They want to create multicultural societies, whereby people have very little in common with each other.”
Peter Sutherland, known as the “father of globalization,“ told the United Kingdom’s Parliament in 2012 that the European Union should ”undermine” the homogeneity of its states and become more open to immigrants, according to the BBC.

Mr. Newman said that traditionally, the nation-state has been seen mostly as an extension of the family.
People of each nation had a lot in common, he said.
For example, in Europe, each nation shared a culture, language, and ethnicity, such as the Hungarians, Finns, Frenchmen, or Germans.
Even if nations conquered each other and several nations were governed as one big empire, they still retained their national identity, Mr. Newman said.
However, mass migration undermines “the nation-state itself,” and this is done “very deliberately and very strategically,” he asserted.
“We’re watching this happen very rapidly in Europe,” he said. “I think Europe is the canary in the coal mine.”

Now, in big cities in the western and northern parts of Europe, “the native population is in the minority,” Mr. Newman said.
Brussels, also the EU’s capital, had more than 60 percent of people with a nationality of origin outside the EU, and only 25 percent of its population was Belgian in 2023, according to the Belgian statistical office.
In Frankfurt, Germany, the population with an immigrant background exceeded 50 percent in 2015, according to the World Population Review.
According to the UK Parliament’s report, 37 percent of London’s population was born outside the UK in 2021.
According to World Population Review, people with foreign backgrounds, who come from over 170 different countries and speak about 150 languages, account for more than 40 percent of the inhabitants of Malmo, a major Swedish city.
When native people in these big cities find themselves surrounded by people of other nationalities who do not have anything in common with them and do not share the same language, culture, and religion, they will start questioning the idea of the nation, Mr. Newman said.
“Why do we have these arbitrary lines on a map called a nation? Why not just be European citizens—which is of course step one—and then ultimately, global citizens?” he said. “That is the ultimate objective. They probably won’t come out of the closet too openly until they think it’s irreversible.”

The United Nations adopted in 2018 a new international agreement that radically changed the definition of immigration “from a privilege to a right,” Mr. Newman explained.
The agreement known as the Global Compact for Migration stipulates that moving to another country with the permission of its government is no longer a privilege, Mr. Newman said.
According to the compact, a person has a right to migrate to another country where life is better, especially if the person lives in a poor country, a country plagued by gang violence, or for any other reason, Mr. Newman said.

Mr. Newman said he thinks that one of the reasons for encouraging mass immigration is to “bring in new cultural understanding of America when it comes to the role of government, the economy, etc.”
The notion that America got rich by exploiting other people and other countries by extracting their natural resources and using people there as slave labor prevails in many parts of Latin America and is instilled in people from a very young age, Mr. Newman explained.
That narrative is reinforced on immigrants by media and public schools in the United States, he said.
The same narrative has been promoted in Europe, where the newly arrived immigrants are being told that “they arrived in a racist society that’s built on white supremacy” and exploitation, Mr. Newman pointed out.
Immigrants who learned in their own country how bad America is and continue hearing the same upon arriving in the United States would naturally respond to it, “Hey, we should overthrow the system,” Mr. Newman said.
