WORDISM, COMMUNISM AND CALVINISM | 2009-12-14

Jesus said that salvation was "free and without price." If he had said that in Spain five hundred years later he would have been ripped off of his nice comfy cross and stopped in to fire.

I was listening to a homily from a priest who was describing Jesus' talk to the rich young man. He said, "The reason the young man was Lost was ..." This was a new one to me. Lost? He asked Jesus what he must do to be saved. Jesus asked if he followed the Commandments, and he said he did. Jesus then said, "IF YOU WOULD BY PERFECT, sell all you have and give it to the poor and follow me."

Christians would be in deep trouble if one had to be PERFECT to avoid being Lost, Damned. But this is understandable if you understandable if you understand institutions. Institutions talk a lot about money and power, because they ARE money and power. No matter what book an institution is based on, they think in money and power terms.

All institutions want sacrifice to be uppermost in their adherents'' minds. The homily was just another example of how a person who has devoted his life to an institution is going to find the money side the most important.

ALL institutions. A Japanese Buddhist priest charges a fee for his service to be dedicated to a particular person, just as a Catholic Church does for a Mass. Both do it free in some cases, but they regard it as charity.

It would be a little hard to track the behavior of a Buddhist priest in Osaka to that of a Catholic priest in Dublin by their common roots. But both are institutional people. This is called parallel evolution. Saber toothed tigers evolved separately all over the world. They had the same survival challenge and developed the same way. Institutions in different places are so much alike we don't even notice it.

The young Stalin was a bank robber. But he gave what he robbed to the Communist Party. Some young Communists would marry heiresses specifically to obtain money to support the Party. Like monks, they swore they were against wealth but they spent much or most of their time getting it for the Party, just as monasteries kept starting poor and getting rich from wealthy people's wills.

One writer referred to Communists as "secular Calvinists." Calvinist churches became rich by telling their members that salvation was purely a matter of being Chosen before birth. But their members had to show they were part of the Elect of God, and a person who was Elect gave money to his church.

Communists and Calvinist doctrines are alike in that both say that the Triumph of their Truth is inevitable. Oddly enough, Calvinists discovered that this brought in the cash. Communist or Calvinists, being On the Side of a Truth that is Inevitable has the opposite effect one would logically think it would.

You would think that if one were a Communist he would take it easy. Truth will out anyway, so why bother? But that is exactly what people said about Calvinists. But Calvinists churches sprang up like mushrooms, and they got money that often put the Roman Church to shame.

If something owns Inevitability it is the Only True Faith. And people will support the physical institution, the wealth and power, of an institution that promises no reward except Being On the Winning Side, and it does not matter if your side wins long after you are dead.

OBSERVATIONS | 1999-02-06

I.

If all men were created equal, an awful lot must have happened since then.

II.

Americans are overweight and out of shape. We desperately need exercise. As an expert on everything, let me explain how we can instantly increase the number of Americans doing regular exercise

1) Spread the word that exercise is a cheap thrill.

2) Point out that this cheap thrill is sinful, illegal, and fattening.

3) Have reputable scientists announce that regular exercise is a major cause of cancer, AIDS, ringworm, and halitosis,

4) Put on regular public service advertisements about healthful physical activity that say: DON'T DO IT!

5) Increase the price of exercise by ten times, and have bootleggers selling exercise tickets at even higher prices.

6) Make people stand in mile-long lines and camp out overnight in order to get tickets to exercise.

I guarantee that attendance at gyms will quintuple in a matter of months.

III.

LIBERAL THEOLOGY

Loafers get more

And workers less.

I asked the Lord

And He said Yes.

DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR? PART II | 2010-05-18

Early one morning, for some reason I forget, I got off at the Metro at Union Station and came up to Capitol Hill. This meant I had to walk up to the Hill, go in on the Senate side, and take the underground trolley to the House side where my office was.

When I walked in on the Senate side, the "black" senator from Massachusetts, the blue-eyed one, had come in just ahead of me. The policeman had to search my briefcase unless I was with a member of congress. I showed him my staff ID and he asked, "Are you with Senator Brooke?"

Brooke was well on his way and I could have nodded and gone on in. I said, almost, "NO!"

Most of us men have special fear of being called queer or child molesters and so forth. We always fear that SOMEONE will believe it.

In politics I have always had the same sort of queasy feeling about being considered one of THEM:

Little White Bobby trailing after his liberal Republican Black Idol.

ICK!

My actual views would strike the average yuppie or Mommy Professor as a lot more perverted than homosexuality or even NAMBLA membership, but that doesn't bother me. My feeling of creepiness has to do with being mistaken for something Bob Whitaker considers perverted and sick.

I would be shamed to be considered Senator Brooke's Little White Worshipper because that is a sick idea TO ME. However untrue it is, if the guard believed it, I would be shamed in MY OWN eyes.

It is what I call intellectual shame. It is not logical. I could respect another senior staffer if he was hired by Brooke for his merits, and if he really was a liberal Republican. Hell, I ain't prejudiced. Some of my best friends were members of the Ripon Society.

But the idea of someone thinking I was one of them gives me the same chill a guy gets from being thought a homo. As they kept repeating on Seinfeld, "I am NOT gay."

"Though there's nothing WRONG with it."

This is not a creepy feeling that only belongs to old right-wingers.

I think most people normally get this feeling when someone tries to classify what they think of as their own ideas. I have had liberals scream at me when I repeated that what they had said was a standard liberal position. What can you say when someone has five times in a row quoted standard political positions.

I am SHAMING them by saying they sound like a tape recorder, though they do. But I find that the ones with a sense of that shame are now the exceptions.

What gets to me about yuppies and other Mommy Professor Products is their total lack of simple intellectual SHAME. How can they be such walking, talking mental clones and it doesn't even bother them?

As Anne Rice said, these are the sort of people who ask each other, "Are WE still boycotting grapes?" Four of them on a single block will have the same bumper sticker.

Most of us really dislike it when it turned out that the person we are talking to has heard the JOKE we are telling before. These people tell you that the highlight of their life was when they were heroically out marching with a thousand other students shouting for something very single professor had advocated in class.

They called it a Campus Protest.

Protest against WHAT?

This is straight out of 1984 or Red China. How can you be brave independent members of a Campus Protest against Racism when anyone who says anything non-PC on race will be lucky just to be lynched

By minority students while white students cheer them on?

"We CARED in those days. We marched on campus."

In 1984 every time the government announced another Five-Year Plan had been a success "spontaneous demonstrations" would break out, the signs already prepared. Orwell was not exactly prescient about this. The same thing happened all the time inn Stalin's Russia.

But how can you BRAG about marching for a Politically Correct cause on a Politically Correct campus?

Stalin's slaves did it, but I never heard one of them later claim he was BRAVE to do it.

Once again, I ask you, "Does this sound familiar?"

Have you many times wondered how someone could have such a lack of intellectual SHAME that he claims he was brave to go out and agree with everybody else?

HISTORY: THE LESSON OF THE DEATH OF THE YANKEE NATION | nationalsalvation.net

On principle, New England opposed the admission of every state after the first thirteen. They only favored the admission of slaveless status when they were overthrowing the Southern slavocracy. But in the end it was New England's alliance with the West in the anti-South coalition and the Republicans Party that destroyed the only competitor for ruling America that the Northeast ever had.

It paid off handsomely. Right up to the 1930s the Lodges and other New England top dogs ruled Republican politics, which meant they ruled the country. The payoff in power was handsome, and the payoff in money was stupendous. All industry was confined to the Northeast by railroad rates that made it impossible to ship manufactured goods north AND EAST.

But the Yankee Nation got paid LONG before it actually took the country over completely. It is often mentioned that the US Government had a SURPLUS and no debt in Jackson's day. No one will EVER tell you WHY.

At the very beginning of Our Glorious and Beneficial Union the Yankee Nation made a deal that no Jewish pawnbroker could ever hope to find a goy dumb enough to swallow. Until World War I the Federal Government was financed almost entirely from tariffs. You might say, "Lord! Those Southerners were DUMB! The Yankees got the Federal Government and even patronage jobs FREE!"

And people who finally get THIS through their heads will NEVER realize that that was the LEAST of the deal. The Yankee Nation did not ONLY get exempted from Federal taxation, but they got even MORE than the entire Federal budgets by means of those tariffs. You see, in order to avoid tariffs Southerners had to pay whatever price Northern industry decided to sell its products at. Every extra percentage point tariffs went up paid New England many millions of dollars.

Can you imagine anybody dumb enough to allow that? That was Our Glorious Union from the word "Go!" It's a wonder that, stupid as we were, we lasted as long as we did.

When the Glorious Union was Saved, all restraint went off of tariffs. And all industry was in the Northeast due to discriminatory rail rates. So Republicans jacked up the tariffs and Northeastern monopolies jacked up their prices.

With what Jews would call, "such a DEAL! Why did the Yankee Nation die off? It dies off by doing exactly what America is doing today. Wealthy families produced New England school marms and Emily Dickinsons and other sterile females. Meanwhile, as the profits of industry skyrocketed, they needed cheap labor, Irish, Polish, Italian and so forth.

The last representative of the Yankee Nation, Henry Cabot Lodge, lost his Senate seat to a guy name Kennedy in 1952. When he ran for vice president in 1960 they lost to the same John Kennedy.

You will play hell finding any sign of The Yankee Nation in New England. They made SUCH A DEAL that they forgot about controlling their OWN territory. The Jews are so desperate to destroy whites that they have doomed themselves, too. But it always bothers me that anti-Semites are unteachable about REAL American history. They are right about Jews, but they are blind to the fact that the Jews are NOT new. The Yankee Nation hated the white race and other Americans with a blindness that destroyed them before most Jews got here.

As Alan points out, Southerners are the only nation left in America. As the country becomes swamped with minorities, only we will be able to deal with them. The Yankee-Jew approach only works as long as no one tosses their power-group out. As long as Yankees kept their image as The Only True Patriots, they survived. But they could only live off others, and when they could not, the nation died. They got so tied up in ruling that they lost track of their own existence, just as Jews have.

Once again, the example of Sauron comes to mind. He put most of his power in The One Ring to rule others. When the Ring was destroyed, he fell. There was time when the South needed 65-IQ labor from Africa.

Now the mulattoes are not the same and they are not needed. But ALL the work we needed African slaves for is now done by machines. In short, our nation does not have to dominate to survive. Try to imagine Israel living on its own resources and with no cheap Arab labor.

Every part of the white race will lose huge numbers to miscegenation. Such is the nature of all-out war. But we are the ONLY group of whites who can lead the way to survival.
