Traditionally, Europeans imperialists have used of military power. Today they are more subtle. Current practice is for European immigrants to extend their control, through clandestine criminal activity, such as assault. Assault is a many sided crime, which the Criminal Codes of the two great North American nations deal with. It can be the simple causing pain to another person, whether it just an exercise of raw power or aimed at forcing someone to do or not to do something. The pain can be caused by an instrument or any other means. One other means is a threat. It can be an assault, if it causes a person anguish that he or she may be the subject of pain or injury, if they do or don't do a particular thing. Likewise, both North American Criminal Codes consider an utterance, which causes fear, to be an assault. Imperialist Europeans immigrants have extended their control into North America, by bringing with them many practices, which are alien to a pluralist society. These practices may be religious or they may be political. Many of them are in flagrant opposition to North Americans concept of criminality, especially concerning assault. Most of the people importing these alien practices, do so with an absolute arrogance, so typical of many Europeans. They consider themselves to be superior races in relation to native born North Americans and as such, are not subject to the laws that slaves make. Take for example the insidious practice of invading someone's head in a manner, which is akin to voodoo . Depending on their origin, Europeans have many ways of saying this. Some call it the thief, others call it taking someone, still others call it the baby, the job, the body, the entry, bringing someone in or just plain beating them. Most think that being the member of a group, religion or party gives them some special prerogative to engage in these activities, which is over and above the law. In the past, North Americans have found many ways of combating this chronic European criminality. An entrenched tenant of the American Way of life is the melting pot. European immigrants are digested by the society at large, so that they can not group together, to cause their neighbors harm. North of the 49th parallel, the means taken have often been quite physical. Dukhobors were arrested and Poles (Bohunks) had to be beaten with bare fists, so that they would leave their neighbors alone. How can this European superiority complex be broken? How can the massive importing of European voodoo practices be stopped. One way is to give sections of Criminal Codes dealing with assault, a much more extensive application. Another would be to revise the sections of Codes dealing with assault, so that the crime would be broader and more minutely detailed. This revision could be undertaken with the assistance of psychiatrists and social psychologists, having a familiarity with criminology. Tagging someone with a criminal record is an accepted means of social control. Homosexuality between non-consenting adults is a crime. Why should it not also be a crime to drive an alien force into someone's head, without their consent?
