THE RESPECTABLE RIGHT IS DOING ITS USUAL THING TO MAURICE | 2000-10-07

Most of our readers are not in South Carolina, so some may not know of the big stores' boycott against Maurice Bessinger. Bessinger has a big Confederate flag in front of his bar-b-cue stands and a lot of right-wing pamphlets inside. Big grocery chains used to carry his sauce all over the South, but, because of his political views, most of them have taken his sauce off the shelves. This is an openly political move.

The Wal-Mart line on boycotting Maurice Bessinger's bar-b-cue sauce now is that they object to one of his pamphlets.

In the 1960's, I went into a grocery store in Georgetown, DC. It was a low-price place where hippies and students shopped, an alternative to capitalism. You brought in your own bag. Its theory was that capitalists were taking so much money by markups that it would be easy to undercut them. It didn't last long.

There were pamphlets in those stores with quotes from Chairman Mao, who was then ruling and killing in China, and Che Guevara, who had been killing in South America.

What would the liberals say if such a grocery store existed in Columbia, and big companies wouldn't sell them anything because of their pamphlets that openly praised leftist totalitarians and murderers? Liberals, with the State newspaper leading the way, would raise hell. To these overage hippies, freedom of speech for the left, and only for the left, is sacred.

But no one is going to ask if these people would allow a restaurant to be boycotted for leftist views. This is a question the right never asks. It is taken for granted by now that you can do anything to suppress the right, and the left has freedom of speech.

I know a lot of regular conservatives, and every single one of them seems to be angry at Bessinger for challenging our rulers in this way. Not a single legislator from the Republican Party -- that "more conservative" party, you know -- is supporting his rights. Nor is any businessman.

In the meantime, these same conservatives are shocked that more and more facilities are being closed to the Boy Scouts because they won't take homosexual scoutmasters. Conservatives ask, "Where did the forces of Political Correctness get such power?"

The correct answer is, "They got it from you. Every time they condemned someone as an extreme rightist, you were on their side, as with Bessinger. Then they went after somebody a little less radical with the same tactics, then less radical, until now they're after the Boy Scouts."

Liberals won't let anybody pick on the extreme left. They know that the price of liberty is eternal vigilance. The right has not learned this. That is why the Boy Scouts and other traditional institutions are in trouble.

LEFTISTS SHOW US HOW NOT TO DEAL WITH TOMORROW'S TERRORISM (ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED APRIL 1, 2000) | 2001-09-11

Technology moves very fast. Those of us who are older carry around time capsules in our bodies. Most of us still have some of the old silver fillings in our mouths. And on our arm, all of us from my generation have a piece of yesterday -- a smallpox vaccination scar.

Everybody had to have them. As late as the 1970s, you had to prove you had had a fairly recent smallpox vaccination in order to travel into many countries. Now the only living smallpox viruses left are in a handful of laboratories.

Smallpox does not exist outside of a few laboratories. The World Health Organization has recommended that even those disease stocks be destroyed. Smallpox is probably the only disease that human effort has so far destroyed completely all over the world. But Europe got rid of leprosy almost as completely centuries ago.

You know all those movies you see where evil superstitious Europeans are forcing innocent lepers to live in their own places? This is usually presented as the old fashioned ignorant approach to such diseases.

But in the real world, it worked. Leprosy was made to disappear from Europe by isolating it. The reason WHO says the remaining smallpox virus should be destroyed is because of its potential use in biological warfare.

We are facing a large number of threats of this sort. We are trying to prevent nuclear proliferation, bacteriological warfare, and other types of mass terrorism. The only real answer is to take advantage of our advancing technology to spread the threatened population out. As I explained on March 6, 1999, in "How Tomorrow's Confederacy Will Deal With Tomorrow's Reality" the real solution to this is to use our technology to SPREAD OUT.

The ruling leftist policy is the exact opposite of this rational policy. We are told that the solution to our problem is to force Serbians into living as closely as possible to Albanians, blacks and whites must be mixed together in prescribed percentages for racial balance, and the like.

None of this is necessary for the PROFESSED liberal aims. Through computer technology and simple travel, we will in any case have more CULTURAL INTERACTION between different groups than we have ever had before. We don't have to be jammed together physically to have cultural interaction.

Like everything else liberals propose, forcing groups together won't work. Once again, we must do the opposite of what liberals propose. In a world where a single extremist can destroy a city, we will have to spread out, not integrate.

I have watched liberals for decades, and this is typical. Every day it becomes more possible for terrorists to kill everybody in a confined area. The liberal solution to this is to jam as many potentially hostile groups as closely together as possible.

Can you imagine that leftists would recommend anything else?

SIEGECRAFT: WHY DO PEOPLE SAY THINGS? | nationalsalvation.net

Back to Basic Lesson One:

"Why do people SAY things?"

Someone asked me a while back whether Joe Sobran's column complaining about people who quote Jesus instead of The Church was in response to me. My reply is simple, but it is not EASY to get across.

It is hard to talk to real people, in whose lives commentary on politics is a diversion or a hobby, that the world of PROFESSINAL commentary is absolutely different. A column and a comment and an article and speech must be written every day. This is a life's WORK, not a la-de-dah hobby.

Joe and all the rest of them have to produce THOUSANDS of these. When I was at his place the steady phone calls took priority over anyone's visit. They were information GIVEN to him that constituted the stuff his LIVING was made of.

NOW let's look at ME. I am a pro, I made my living for decades producing this stuff, and now here it is free. So when I say Ann Coulter's book on liberalism as a church came from me, I am not bragging. My bosses PAID me to come up with that sort of thing. Can Yu imagine professional writers who know about me MISS this stuff?

They might get it second-hand, at a party or on one of Joe's calls, but they LIVE ON this stuff. So most people say I'm bragging when I point out that one of a thousand books or columns by a big name came from me.

If you know the business, it would be astonishing if they DIDN'T.

Marwingsing:

Do we mark the Pope a race-traitor? In that case, do we not mark every single living 'bona-fide', elected white leader in the West a race-traitor? And what of the white electorates? Heck there's work to be done!

ME:

OK. Every single living bona-fide white leader IS a race-traitor. It's part of the job description.

I have been pointing that out on WOL since the beginning. The instant a leader says something pro-white he is no longer respectable and he is OUT. I am an example of that.

Pain made the only comment on my piece below about how other professionals read my writing because I am 1) kicked out and 2) a damned good source of thought respectable NEED every day to make a living. He said something about how I am saying a priest wrote the Sobran piece I referred to, which I assume is his brand of humor.

But I DID figure out a way to take ADVANTAGE of being kicked out. I AM a pro, I made MONEY out of my ideas, and now they're free for the taking, and nobody has to give me credit for them. You better believe the other pros take advantage of that. I hope SOMEBODY noticed the POINT here.

BECAUSE I'm kicked out, my ideas spread BETTER than they would if I were a big name getting paid for it. Bill Rusher gave me credit for one of my ideas in a book, and THAT one didn't spread.

This is an EXAMPLE of my saying, "You can have the money, you can have the fame, you can have the titles, all I want to do is rule the world." It works beautifully precisely because no one but me can SEE it working.

IF WE DON'T DUMP RESPECTABLE CONSERVATIVES, WE WILL LOSE EVERYTHING | 2000-04-22

I told people in the 1960s that the Confederate flag would eventually be banned. Like every other correct prediction I have made through the decades -- and Lake High will testify to how many there were -- I was laughed at for saying this.

I saw Germany outlawing the Nazis, but allowing the Communists free reign. The same thing happened in other countries. With respectable conservatives as our spokesmen, we could not demand rights for right-wing haters. But the left demanded all the rights for left wing haters any mainline political party had, and they never apologized for it.

When an American Nazi was lured to Denmark and seized there and taken to Germany for trial, the left cheered. They said he had been "hiding behind the first amendment" in America and putting Hate Speech on the web. Everybody agreed Germany was right to arrest someone got putting "Hate" on his Internet page, though it was legal in America.

But no liberal or respectable conservative will ever say a Communist who puts his hate on a web page is "hiding behind the first amendment." He is "exercising his constitutional rights."

In other words, through our respectable conservative spokesmen, we agreed that the right could be jailed for Hate, but the left was always innocent of it.

Now here is the point: In real world power politics, if you give someone the first step, they will take the second. That is how people who deal in power ALL do things.

The left had no intention of STOPPING with Nazis. They used Nazis to get our agreement that the left had freedom, but the right didn't. Next, they got Britain to agree that Pinochet, who was not a Nazi, could be seized, but no leftist could be. The right became a happy hunting ground for leftists out to crush anything they decide to call a hate crime.

So now the Boston Housing Authority has declared the SHAMROCK to be an official hate symbol! So the Confederate flag is now a sign of Hate, and respectable conservatives shout their agreement. I saw that coming as soon as I saw that the Buckleys of the world are the liberals' official wimps on call.
