WHAT THE DECLARATION WAS WRITTEN FOR | 2010-07-08

Jefferson's intent in drafting the Declaration was to write something all thirteen delegations could agree to. At the same time it had to appeal to the world in general.

Historians always assume he was writing in a peaceful atmosphere about his abstract philosophical world view. No one ever mentions that there was a war going on at the time. No one mentions that if Jefferson's side had lost it, they would have been hanged.

I get a laugh out of looking at the situation as they see it. It is like expecting an abstract philosophical view from a government engaged in World War II.

There was a war going on, but Jefferson is not supposed to have NOTICED it.

To win the war, the Declaration had to appeal to two desperately needed groups. There was an anti-War segment of parliament, extreme Whigs, who referred to the Americans as "our army." As Americans foresaw, it was THEIR victory in the British elections that forced the King to make peace after Yorktown.

The other group Jefferson had to appeal to was French liberals. That is the crowd which brought on the FRENCH Revolution, which led to slaughter and despotism worse than the one it replaced. To appeal to them Jefferson wrote his "all men are created equal," which made no sense to anyone outside a French salon.

That is the only part of the Declaration anyone can quote. That is because the ideas that led to the French Revolution were utterly alien to Americans. Which is the reason the two revolutions led to such entirely different results.

The preamble aimed at French liberals was the only part of the Declaration that makes sense to Mommy Professor.

When the war was over and Americans wrote their own Constitution, there was not the slightest hint of the sort of crap the Declaration is famous for. The only part of the Declaration anyone ahs been taught by Mommy Professor is a Wordist World View that is totally absent from the Constitution was wrote for ourselves.

The Preamble to the Declaration is Rousseau and Marx. But it is NOT American.

At all.

What is truly admirable is that the Declaration, written by a 33-year old Virginian, was so perfectly aimed at the two alliances abroad that were in fact critical in winning the war no historian notices was going on at the time.

Mommy Professor loves to point out that the Declaration was hypocritical. ALL war documents are hypocritical. But again, no one ever mentions that there WAS a war on at the time.

Historians are always discussing the Constitution in terms of the groups who formulated it. But they never say anything about that in the case of the Declaration, or, to put it more accurately, about the Preamble which is the only part of the Declaration they ever quote.

This is because, for Wordists, the Preamble to the Declaration is unique. It is the ONLY wording produced by the Founding Fathers which sounds Wordist. It WAS Wordist. It was aimed at the French liberals who were limousine liberal non-working followers of Rousseau.

SIEGECRAFT: THE RING | nationalsalvation.net

I see, the "Sauron Problem" = keeping all your eggs in one basket.

Hitler said it was the German Army that ruined Germany in 1945. They had put him in power and the Germans put too much faith in them, but they were loyal more to themselves than to Germany, and so proved unreliable when the going became rough.

Comment by Pain

ME:

I would think the Sauron problem is the opposite of keeping your eggs in one basket. If Sauron had kept his eggs in his own basket, and not spread them into the Ring, he would have been better off. Every movement whites put their being into their race but also into their party or their church.

Here is the process:

1) Whites decide that racial survival must be JUSTIFIED in Higher Terms. So they start saying how the Bible or something demands white survival.

2) They stop viewing their institutions as a means to the end of racial survival, and begin to take the survival of the institutions themselves as a goal in itself. So when the Democratic Party betrayed whites, when the National Party deserted whites, the whites in those parties still stayed loyal to the Democrats and the National Party;

3) Wordism either shares importance with survival or replaces survival entirely. The church came to look upon genetic suicide as the highest virtue, just as Political Correctness does today.

Stage 3) is the natural growth from Stage 1).

The only alternative is simple but not easy. This is to declare immovably that survival is not the MAIN priority, it is the ONLY priority. The second you begin to take the survival of anything but your genes seriously in the name of any Book, you are on the road to suicide.

THE CALENDAR WAS THE FIRST AND LAST ACCOMPLISHMENT OF ANCIENT WISE MEN | 2001-11-17

It is easy for our kind of history to ignore the basics because the technological basics bore us. That is why what we call history is almost entirely nonsense.

For each civilization the beginning was a calendar. Whether it is the annual Nile flood or the coming of the rainy season an exact calendar became essential to survival as agriculture advanced.

The calendar is the titanic and critical ACCOMPLISHMENT PHASE of each civilization. It is the only time when the "intellectuals" who later become a shaman class actually do something useful.

Those first real intellectuals who made the accurate calendars were very special people. But they do not interest the historian and we know nothing about them. We have no interest in this group until they transform from intellectuals into shaman and start rolling out that fascinating nonsense we call Ancient Wisdom.

The first calendar was a work of precision never before accomplished.

After all, some kind of calendar existed before the dinosaurs. Many dinosaurs were herd animals and moved with the seasons. Their pig-like predecessors probably needed some ability to anticipate the seasons too. Homo erectus could tell that rain was coming on or that it was becoming fall.

What we call a calendar was new not because it told us that winter would come soon, for that knowledge is in our bones. The human calendar tells us far ahead from year to year when each season will come. A civilization can only plant and sow and rotate crops and avoid being washed out by rain if it has a dependable calendar.

Foresight, patience, and sticking to nothing but the facts were the essential characteristics of the first and last intellectual leaders Ancient Civilizations ever had, those who developed the calendar.

In early civilizations you might have to use a third of your grain just to plant the new crop. If it got washed out twice you would starve. And as agriculture advanced, hundreds lived on land that only a single hunter-gatherer could survive on before. There was no going back so life more and more depended on the calendar.

Those who developed the calendar over the years became powerful. But once it was developed, the knowledge they had was there for the learning. At this point those who ruled the calendar could just show everybody how to predict the seasons and go back to being like everybody else.

If they did this they would still be real, productive intellectual leaders. They would say, "We have developed a great piece of knowledge. It is now time for everyone to learn it and we can go on to searching for other knowledge."

That never happened in any of the Great Civilizations.

SPEAKING FOR WHITES: THE BEGINNING | 2010-07-17

About a decade ago I pointed out in Whitaker Online that our long political future will be as spokesmen for whites.

People on or side talked only of restoring White Supremacy. This is Temporal Provincialism. Let me give you an example of where their thought was stuck.

Mark Twain would say something like "All people hate noise." A few pages, to repeat the point, he said "all white people hate noise."

His assumption that so few non-white people would be reading his book that there was no distinction at all, he was just saying the same thing in a different way. That was a VERY different world, and it isn't coming back.

Whites were never Supreme in the way that word is used. Non-white countries let the white man set up governments which the white man considered necessary, but the union of what we call Iraq was utterly meaningless to them.

Today's United Nations is famously a collection of colonial administrations out together by and for the European countries.

Whites were Supreme in the colonial world because they needed the labor and raw materials that were in colonials lands. But those materials were used for purposes the colored man did not understand and a major purpose of the whole exercise was so that European countries could compete with OTHER European countries.

White Supremacy was a term developed to indicate that what we needed came first. But the life of the colonial peoples was not, certainly outside the cities, wrapped up in the white man. The world in which every colored man devoted is entire thought to what whites told him was invented by Marxists.

At least half of the colored world had never SEEN a white man.

To Mark Twain, the white world was THE world, though he groveled over the recent existence of black slavery with the best of them.

White Supremacy is the echo of the Marxist outlook which is now in control. White Supremacy is an expression of the Mankind World View.

But the world in which THEIR White Supremacy ruled never existed. There is and never has been a single world of all races, either for the Marxists and the "Christians" to unite with their respective Holy Writs or for the White Man to rule over.

As a practical practitioner of power, I see what the Marxist, the Christian and the White Supremacists do not see.

I see a people without a voice. That is what any political practitioner looks for.

In the real world of power, White Supremacy makes us not only silly, but powerless.

The South was destroyed by a simple arithmetic change in the American electorate: There were four major parties instead of two in the 1860 election. Lincoln got forty percent of the popular vote, but total towered over each of the others.

Whites have no potential if they keep trying to be the majority in a field of White Supremacy and anti-whites. But, like the Republicans, our position changes entirely if we become the largest and richest minority.

The importance of this simple piece of arithmetic is never mentioned, but it is the most important thing in the world today, just as it was 1860 and at many other times.

We are not Time Provincials. We want to represent whites as whites become inevitably more and more self aware while they become a set of islands in a colored sea.

The entire two generations of Northeastern rule, of Northern industrialists and rail rates set to keep industry out of an impoverished South, began with one small statement: "No more slave states."

"No more slave states" was as defensive a slogan for the North as the Mantra is for whites today. It did not jump into instant popularity. The Free Soil Party got less than one percent of the vote at its best.

But "No More Slave States" was a radical slogan, one which was clearly used by spokesmen for the North. The Mantra is a now-radical statement of exactly the same kind.
