THE ROBERT W. WHITAKER ARCHIVE

IT'S NOT OBJECTIVE TO ME! | 2006-02-02

Mark quotes me and says,

"Churchill promised two million Soviets who fought against Stalin that if they surrendered to the Allies,t ehy woud be protected. As soon as they did so, he turned them over to Stalin..."

Don't forget Saint John Kennedy who did something similar in Cuba. And I would imagine his tosspot brother, Edward, uttered similar words of promise to his nubile ally Mary Jo Kopechne just before he swam to shore and left her to the mercy of the gods. Well maybe that last comparison was a stretch but you get the point...

Comment by Mark

MY REPLY:

I have unending psychological scars from what Saint John the Kennedy did in Cuba. I KNEW the people he betrayed, I KNEW the man who signalled back, when air cover was withdrawn, "You have betrayed us."

I can FEEL Mary Jo Kopechne being left to die in that suffocation.

But I also know that she worked with Kennedy to destroy us. I do not pity her becauswe she did not pity us.

Ruthless, right?

How can I explain that none of this is theoretical to Ole Bob?

When a Kennedy staffer, the day after Chappaquiddick, was flown over the site, before the press knew about it, he said, "This is the end of the Kennedy presidency."

That was reported by the press later.

Not, "I can feel how horrible it was to be suffocating in a car under the water, moving to where the air was, and knowing you were going to die."

The end of the Kennedy presidency was the only point mentioned.

I am a ruthless old bastard.

But how can I tell anybody that that is coldness beyond even my ken?

WHAT'S IN IT FOR ISRAEL? | 2008-06-09

A Book called All I Ever Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten pointed out that the basic lessons in civility and common sense we learn in Kindergarten are the ones we really need to use in later life.

In our terms, a college "education" is aimed at destroying those lessons.

I did not receive a Kindergarten education (pity and donations accepted). But I did go to Bible School, where a guy was quoted as saying, "Suffer the little children to come unto me, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven" He then added a comment that, in our terms, come Judgment Day the Mommy Professors of this world would wish they had never been born.

The main lesson we kept being taught in Bible School was how Jesus could not explain to the Jews that he was not here for their proposed Israeli Kingdom. He could not be their Messiah, they said, because he did not claim he could get rid of the Roman Occupation and lead the Jews to a New Age of Power like the one they never had when Israel was between the superpowers of Egypt and Mesopotamia.

To Israeli nationalists, "My kingdom is not of this earth" and "Give unto Caesar what is Caesar's" reflected exactly what the Messiah was NOT.

Which makes it particularly funny for me when I watch Pat Robertson and the rest shouting that Christianity is All About Israel. I think it was Robertson who said that Sharon had his stroke because he wanted to compromise on Jewish settlements.

All I REALLY needed to know about Christianity was available to me in Sunday School.

MEXICO IS THE PRODUCT OF MEXICANS | 2011-01-19

There is literally a war going on just south of the Mexican border. Any time anyone gets killed on THIS side of that imaginary line from stray bullets, it is news. Then there is the question of whether Mexicans coming here will make this the same kind of country they have.

This is the kind of connection anyone who THINKS about the situation would make. But the job of the liberal-respectable conservative duo is to prevent such thinking.

As I said in the New Rights Papers a generation ago, the reason Mexican labor is worth several times as much when it crosses that invisible line is not magic. It is because, when a Mexican crosses into the United States, he works in a country that is NOT run by Mexicans.

This is a conclusion every respectable conservative points to as heresy. They say it is racism because it cannot matter WHO populates a country. All that matters is the pieces of paper the country is supposedly based on.

So libertarians believe in magic. They insist that there is no reason labor should be worth more on this side of the border.

How many times have you ever heard anyone ask WHY Mexicans have to come HERE for opportunity. We always hear that they are only doing it for their families, of course. There is no greed in Mexicans.

We also hear that the Mexicans are not at all responsible for the full scale slaughter going on where Mexican rule begins. The media are always saying that the whole blame is on Americans, because Americans "have an appetite for illegal drugs."

Political Correctness is a religion, but it seems to me that even after being trained act the liberal seminaries we call colleges, this sort of cant would begin to pall. But all the people around me repeat this crap like trained parrots.

Why is it that the same labor is worth so much more when you cross the Rio Grande? The only thing that changes there is the jurisdiction.

Which is why they are all shouting that Mexico is having that war within gunshot of the American border because Americans are greedy for drugs. So why is the war on the Mexican side of the border?

Americans are impenetrably stupid about immigration. But a war of that magnitude and violence inside the United States would cause even the theologically-obsessed American morons to see that we don't want Mexico here.

So the war is kept on the other side of the border and is never used as an argument against populating this country with the same workers who make Mexico what it is.

In the longer term it will be racist to say that outright war like that should not be inside the United States. That will take a while, but, like everything else I have predicted, it will come to pass if we let the present arguments go by without comment, as respectable conservatives are paid to do.

It is population, not appearences, that makes a country what it is

ONLY MEDIA DEATHS COUNT | 2000-05-07

Two people died in a nuclear plant accident in Japan. It's the first time anybody died in nuclear energy production in a developed country. But only those two deaths are important. The Jane Fondaista media is licking its chops, declaring that this will probably end Japan's use of nuclear power.

Japan uses coal and oil for its non-nuclear power. Would anybody care to estimate how many people in South African coal mines and on oil rigs died producing that gigantic amount of energy? No, of course not. People who die producing coal and oil are just working people. They don't matter.

By the same token, the kids that died at Littleton matter. Their deaths can be used to push gun control. Hundreds of people who die defenseless throughout America each week are never mentioned.

So working stiffs who die on oil rigs or in coal mines make no difference. People who die in nuclear incidents matter. People only matter if liberals can use them.
