FLAT EARTH HISTORY | 2006-03-15

When I was coming up historians taught us that Columbus showed the world was round.

Actually everybody knew the earth was round. Columbus's contribution was to get the diameter wrong. He thought that Asia was closer than everybody said it was. They were right. He was wrong.

In our history texts there was a map that showed how the Middle Ages pictured the flat earth. That map was actually a part of the Renaissance, not the Middle Ages. It was a map from Ancient Rome. Ancient Romans never sailed the oceans.

So this silly Roman map was produced to show how the Northern Europeans, the ones who knew where ICELAND was, thought the earth was flat.

Witch-burning is another thing blames on the Middle Ages. Actually the Malleus Mallifactorm was written in 1474, under the influence of the Renaissance.

Medicine also took a giant leap backwards during the Renaissance. The Roman doctor Galen's nonsense was rediscovered and bleeding took over as a cure for disease.

Vikings didn't GET scurvy. Scurvy was another Great Leap Forward from the Renaissance.

In decades of reading, I have yet to find one single ADVANCE of any kind that came as a result of the so-called Renaissance. In math, calculus was already very advanced in Northern Europe long before the Renaissance.

THE OTHER STUPID PARTY | 2006-02-10

The Democrats have only elected three presidents since 1960, and very few people disagree that, even with the help of Lyndon Johnson getting Southern votes, Mayor Daily had to steal the 1960 election for Kennedy.

Harry Truman had Confederate ancestors and his running mate was from Kentucky.

So no Northern president has gotten elected president on the Democratic ticket since 1944!

Over sixty years!

Since Johnson's election in 1964, a mere forty years or so, two Democrats have been elected president.

Both were from the Old Confederacy.

So the Democrats keep nominating presidential candidates from Massachusetts and the Canadian border.

The only two Democratic presidents elected since 1964 were from the Old Confederacy. Everybody thought Clinton was being absurd when he shose a running mate from another Old Confederate state.

When it comes to politics, Clinton is anything but absurd. In 1992 he saw the Old Confederacy Rule and went for it big time.

None of the professional commentators had even noticed it.

They still haven't.

If Bush, Junior had not had a Texas accent, Gore would have been elected in 2000.

Where else are you going to read that but Bob's Blog?

THE MANTRA IN ACTION | 2010-08-26

Adelheim's basic work in finding and sending my arguments against anti-whites on Stormfront is important.

But BUGS will run these with new articles, because the first, of course, got no comments. A commenter tells me that Kelso's whitenewsnow has some discussion of it, which I will look up. But for BUGSers, nothing about this is new.

But if you are being trained in using a weapon, you can learn all about the theory and how to take it apart and put it back together and its effects in action. But you still have to pull the trigger, and your instructor has to watch you do it.

I do not want this to make BUGS boring. So skip it if you like. But I do want BoardAd to put in the whole Mantra where I do. I want everybody to see that what works is repetition. You pull the trigger over and over and over.

There are only a few of these. Then Adelheim added some of his own replies using this method. To me, this is very important.

If this bores YOU, it is because you know about the Mantra. But if you are bored, the other side is driven up the wall. They can't deal with it.

We are the ONLY source of the Mantra. NOBODY but BUGS and the shows set up by BUGS members ever mentions the Mantra.

There is a lot of difference between theory and practice. Some people may agree with the theory of hammering in the Mantra, but when they start doing it, they have an urge to expand it to be more interesting or look better.

The Bang! Bang! Bang! I advocate is the one I practiced. It is a tough discipline.

And it is a lot like Classical warfare. The Greeks beat the Persians because the Persians used a mass attack, while the Greeks held together. Rome perfected this technique, locking shields and going in as a solid block. They formed an early tank, the testudo or tortoise, by forming a square and using the central shields as a roof.

This was easy theory and terribly hard practice. In the midst of a battle, it is against every instinct. When the moment comes, some want to run and some want to hold back and some want to go beserker.

On the Field of Mars Romans practiced doing the same thing, together, for thousands of hours.

I would like to hear from BUGSERS who have practice in using the Mantra this way.

I am sure everyone on the Field of Mars would rather have been hearing tales of Great Heroes and practicing far more exciting tactics.

But it is critical for the few of us who have found the fatal dent in the enemy lines to show how we pull the trigger or lock shields.

HOLLYWOOD | 2006-12-01

Is anybody else getting tired of sitting down to watch a movie and seeing some logo, then another logo, then another thing that says "A Gooble Picture" and another that says "a Lopside Production," then an endless set of names, one by one, and, finally, a short mention of the title, some more credits, and on and on?

You have to watch for several minutes before you know whether the movie has started yet.

We live in an age where there are laws to deal with discrimination. There should therefore be a law requiring everyone in Hollywood to follow the same rules with regard to other professionals. For example, before anyone in the movie industry is allowed to sit down to a mean, at home or in a restaurant, he should first be require to see a complete list of everyone who had anything to do with the chair he is about to sit in. This list will, as in Hollywood films, include everybody who had anything to do with the chair.

There will be the name of the retailer, the wholesaler, each subcontractor who produced each part of said chair, the designer of that model must of course have a certain number of seconds to present his logo, as must the person who adapted the chair to mass production.

Out in the woodlands around the world are people who handled the equipment or the elephants who brought one part of the wood in. But plastic chairs or parts of chairs cannot be neglected. Someone in the chem lab developed the type of plastic, but not specifically for chairs, so the people involved in the process of discovering or and designing its use in that particular chair must be named.

Special thanks at in order for some people, of course.

No one will say exactly when the Hollywood personnel are actually allowed to SIT in the chairs. That is left to the artistry of those who made the chair.

After a few minutes, the Hollywooder will realize that he is now free to stop acknowledging everybody who had to do with making the chair and can sit down. At that point, a few hundred people who had to do with each of the utensils, knife, fork, spoons, cups, plates, napkins and so forth must be acknowledged.

There will, of course, be lawsuits about how much time those who made the table and the tablecloth should be assigned.

If the food is being warmed, we could allow a slow, solemn reading of everything on the label and then a listing of everyone involved in each phase of its making. In other cases, some research will be necessary for which, as in the case of Hollywood, the consumer must pay.

And for which the consumer must wait.

But we cannot discriminate in favor of the food and furniture industries. This procedure must be gone through with every product movie people drive, play with, or sleep on.

I do not think it would be long after these laws were enforced that we would be able to just SEE the damned movies we paid for.
