"THE SOUTH" IS NOT "THE SOUTH" | 2007-08-06

This is not the kind of thing we should be paying big attention to, but southern and Southern are two completely different things. The most heavily populated region in the south is the Los Angeles area, which extends to the Mexican border.

The most southern state is Hawaii. The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is to the south of ALL of them. Today, as sign of disrespect, south always starts with a small "s." However it is understood to refer to the Old Confederacy.

The first civil rights triumph of blacks a hundred years ago was to make people write "Negro" instead of "negro." No one would be allowed to write "negro" in a mainline publication today.

Hence the demotion of "South" to "south."

William Buckley, of all people, agreed with me on this.

As several members of my family found out to their amazement, EVERYBODY who was a leader in the Reagan movement knows who I am. There was a cove article attacking me in National Review attacking and a review of both my books, one, at the same time another camp in NR was attacking me, entitled "Read This One!" by a Senior Editor.

I wrote articles and reviews for NR when I was still, albeit barely, respectable.

Bill Rusher, publisher of NR, wrote the Foreword to my first book and GAVE me a lifetime subscription to the magazine. In that Foreword, he had to distance himself from my criticism of his friend William Buckley in the book.

This took guts on Rusher's part. Not only did I attack his employer in that book, I SPECIFICALLY demanded the preservation of the white race in it, probably the last mainline book that ever did so.

I once said to Rusher, "With all the attacks Buckley took for 'God and Man at Yale,' I doubt what I said bothered him much."

Rusher disagreed. He said, "The man is only HUMAN, Bob."

The point of this is that I wrote Buckley about the fact that referring to Old Confederacy attitudes as "southern" is just plain BAD SPELLING. He QUOTED me verbatim in his "Notes and Asides" column in National Review and then asked, "Are you kin to the Caleb Whitaker in Camden?" Buckley was raised in Camden, SC.

This puzzled me. Just to avoid me like the plague, every respectable conservative knows who I am, ESPECIALLY William Buckley. I even had run-ins with two of his brothers. Then I realized how much he agreed with my POINT. To quote me, he had to show he didn't realize who I WAS.

Despicable though he's become, Buckley's a pro. And he REALLY doesn't like the anti-South jag the guys he turned NR over to are on. Buckley knows no one but me would MAKE this point, so it was either act naïve or not mention it.

All this deduction also gives you an idea of what I mean when I say being a pro in this business requires considerable, hard-won, experience.

WE ARE FINDING A DIRECTION, NOT AN ANSWER | 2013-05-07

In the article, I discussed how there might be a sequel to White Rabbit's great "AntiRacist Hitler."

The discussion following was my dream.

Asgardian explained how I was probably simply wrong:

"Coach, some things aren't MEANT to have a sequel. I feel ARH is probably best as a standalone entity. It will be that "singular reference." I believe we can build off its momentum, but we need to look to another "property" to use as a spring board. ARH cannot have a sequel. It said everything it had to say. It GOT THE POINT ACROSS. A sequel to ARH I fear would have negative, unintended consequences."

John White and others keep asking me to be more clear on my points.

But if you read Asgardian's quote above you will see that we hve something unique here, but it is not a Chinese-type - The Way.  It is an Aryan type "direction."   It does not surprise me at all that you have a problem with that.   I don't fully understand it myself.

Let me say this: What we  are looking for is not Perfection.  I defined Perfection, which is the ideal of Oriental Philosophy, as "A 100 in a second grade spelling test."

Mommy Professor has developed a wall against the Aryan mind.   That wall is a kind of Perfection called Progressivism, which moves toward Perfection.

A STATIC Perfection.

It is a world in which Mommy Professor sits under a banyan tree and is worshipped while children faint from hunger around him.

That is where the Church has gone.

What Christ said  was, "Do unto others are you would have them do unto you.   That is the Law and the Prophets."

But one cannot build an overwhelmingly powerful, continuing Church, an institution, on that.

Institutions  survive with Oriental Rules and Regulations.   All institutions go Oriental.

The best example for me is The Lord's Prayer.

The point Jesus was making when he composed the "Our Father" was that you should only pray for what you need, and quit.  He said, "It is enough to call a fish a fish."

Jesus noted that some people think they can attain salvation by "much speaking."   So he gave them an EXAMPLE of how to ask God for what you need, an unbelievably short prayer.

An unbelievably short prayer in the eyes of every priest-laden religion of Jesus' time.

And of today's'.

Today that short prayer is the epitome of attaining salvation by much speaking.  Penitents repeated it thousands of times while they starved and whipped themselves in the name of the Golden Rule.

That's what institutions do.   That's what Mommy Professor does.

So when I talked about the "sequel" to AntiRacist Hitler, which is what an institutionalist does, it would be the natural blind alley he would go into, Asgardian pulled me  out.

That is what a real seminar is all about.

NEW AGES | 2009-07-12

One age of history does not progress from today's headlines to The Future.

The overwhelming force in the headlines is inertia. It is inertia from the last great explosion that made the news commentary of the last period of history pointless.

Let's get specific. The 1920s were a reaction to the enormous movements just before. World War I had destroyed much of the Old Order that had existed since the monarchies of Europe defeated France in 1914. A revolutionary reaction to liquor had gotten a national ban on alcohol. Communism, due to that same war, was on the march leading to what is now called the Red Scare everywhere.

By 1920, everybody was TIRED. It was summed up in the words, "Return to Normalcy."

Prohibition was here to stay. The policy of war between nations was outlawed. Anti-Communism was national policy. Harding and then Coolidge were elected to get us back to normal in the New Age.

In this New Age there was a Republicans Ascendancy so complete that the Democratic candidate in 1924 was simply ignored.

The New Age lasted exactly one decade. All of the old certainties collapsed in the world wide Depression. Economics was the issue on all minds, trying to get out of that collapse. The New Age of Democratic Ascendancy in America and radical politics abroad had arrived.

Political commentary in the New Age of the 1930s dealt with economic theory and the rising Industrial Class. Each country had its own unique conditions, its own fascist and Communist movements or, in the case of the US and Britain, the lack of them. That was political commentary in the New Age of the 1930s.

That New Age again lasted ten years. World War II blew it away. Everything became the New Order of the post-War.

I could go on, but this is the easiest period for everyone to see each New Age come and go.

In each New Age, or inertial period, practical people are impatient with anyone who does not understand the Inevitable Future. Political Commentators consider themselves and are considered by their readers to be talking about Reality, things as they really ARE. If you are an old magazine fan as I am, these Practical Men look silly.

DAVE'S GOLDEN WORDS | 2007-05-31

"One thing that has happened to me is that I have become less angry and more implacable."

THOSE WORDS ARE PURE GOLD!

***********************************************************************************

____________________________________________________________________________________

Dave replies to AFKAN

One thing that has happened to me is that I have become less angry and more implacable.

I am "on to them", our enemies, in whatever form they manifest themselves.

When BW criticizes the John Birch Society, for example, he is giving advice on how to effectively oppose "the directed society".

The "directed society" needs its opposition to appear in organizational form and notice that BW's advice is to eschew organizations and to focus on basics only. This is entirely correct and it separates him from the SF crowd and most other white nationalists significantly.

Unbeknownst to "the political opposition" when they choose to appear in organizational form, they have already been neutralized by the "directed society".

This is why organizations such as Vdare are so ineffective in opposing nonwhite immigration.

The folks of Vdare just don't get it.

They operate on the level Congressman Ron Paul operates. The "directed society" needs Ron Paul and the "directed society" needs Vdare.

Back in the 60s, Tim Leary, Ken Kesey, Jack Kerouac, etc. launched a "counter culture" that claimed to be a solution to the "directed society".

However, the primary value of their "counter culture" was the advocacy of dereliction.

However, in contrast to the "counter culture's" stated goals, the "counter culture's" advocacy of dereliction was actually in alliance with the aims of the "directed society".

That is why the "counter culture" was so warmly embraced by the corporate marketing machine. A drug scene, an immigration mess, and a ghetto scene is needed by the "directed society".

From time to time even a rip-snorting riot is needed by the "directed society".

Even now, fifty years after its birth, the corporate marketing machine can't and refuses to give up "the counter culture".

It makes me so sick I can hardly endure it; to have the vulgarity of dereliction slogged at me endlessly my entire life by our "official culture".

But now "the directed society" in its hubris has upped the ante.

Now it is actually really and truly ignoring the most fundamental principle of how to unite society:

In the name of Political Correctness it is now fully applying separate legal and ethical standards according to ethnicity and religion by allowing ethnic, country of origin, and religious criteria (read "ethnic customs") to trump the actual recorded and duly legislated or established criminal, civil law, and common law.

This is a catastrophe. It is a deliberate summoning of ethnic and racial conflict into being.

And it is this what BW sees that nobody else is seeing.

It never occurs to the Stormfronters or the British National Party folks that Political Correctness makes the "directed society's" actual aim a deliberate fomenting of racial and ethnic conflict.

This is a big claim for me to make, but goddamn it, this is what I see with my own eyes and with my actual day-to-day experience as occurring.

I see it everywhere, for example, when sales taxes are not enforced against Asian restaurants, when African immigrants are allowed a pass by DHS regarding their growing labor trafficking trade (peons brought in from Africa to work as nannies and housekeepers for well-heeled and legalized immigrants in NYC and elsewhere), or LAPD's dereliction in allowing gang dominion in the LA barrios, etc, etc. etc.

Get my drift?

For all those out there who want a race war, I say, by god, you are going to get what you want.

Accordingly, the law becomes a farce when country of origin and ethnic and religious "customs" are permitted to trump the actual law.

Therefore, Political Correctness makes race war in our time the actual policy of the "directed society".

Make no mistake about it.
