THE ROBERT W. WHITAKER ARCHIVE

A FAN | 2005-09-01

We have a twenty-four hour guard desk in this building. I left a copy of my book for them to read.

The black woman who is day guard read "Why Johnny Can't Think: America's Professor-Priesthood" from cover to cover in one shift.

Yes, she read it all right. The supervisor of the building said, jokingly, "She sure read it. I asked her what else she was doing all that time (like guarding the building)."

She knows damn well that anybody who can read my book can sit at the desk and keep watch.

Back to our main guard. She told everybody how great my book was. She said it's funny, readable, and, above all, TRUE.

Down here in the Bible Belt we worry about whether something is true or not.

Not whether it's FASHIONABLE or not. Whether it's TRUE or not. Lord, we're out of date!

Even worse, we're proud of it!

So my new fan looked at my book just the way I wrote it, plain English and no holds barred.

I can hear people saying, "But, Bob, you kept talking about preserving the white race. Wasn't she offended about that?"

It never occurred to her to be offended. I'm a white man. I'm worried about the white race.

So what else is new?

If you're from South Carolina you might as well be from Mars. Down here, if you're black or white, natural loyalty, like common decency, is taken for granted. That is such a wild idea from the point of view of Fashionable Opinion in Washington or New York or San Franciso that they can't even imagine it.

We don't even notice it.

Why did she understand my book so well?

Well, people talk about Education Level and Intelligent Quotients all the time, but what they can't measure is the Common Sense Quotient.

It is the Common Sense Quotient that today's "education" beats out of people.

She wouldn't say it to my face, but what really impressed my new fan was that somebody with as much education as I have could still have this much common sense and write it down clearly.

Which gives you a clear idea of what is so wrong with what we call "education."

And that, brothers and sisters, is the whole point of my book.

FRONT GROUPS AND THE MANTRA | 2011-01-20

The European Large Hadron Collider project is the one that has atoms smashing into each other so as to study the production of anti-matter. I understand this is part of the latest Dan Brown book after his DaVinci Code.

I happened to read of cost overruns in this project, and that "Environmentalists are using this as a reason to shut the project down." The average reader probably had no idea that the environmental movement wanted to shut it down.

The LHC is pure research. Environmentalists waited until billions were invested in atomic power before they stopped it cold in the US. But it is not the environment that is the point here, it is the billions.

Today's environmentalism has as little to do saving clean air and so forth as today's socialism has to do with the welfare of the workers. In our day of ideological professionalism, old causes have long since been taken over by those who make them fronts for a particular ideology.

Note how casually the magazine referred to how environmentalists were pointing to these cost overruns to kill the LHC project. It was merely a report, not a partisan attack. What was interesting was that the writer of the piece took it for granted that no one would have any trouble understanding that the Green Movement opposes this basic research on new means of power generation.

But I am the only person who sees that report and THINKS about it. The connection between wanting a planned world and being against technology is understood, but most people don't understand what you mean when you say it.

A planned world is a static world. Communism tried to catch up with America and other developed countries, and it was impossible. To any environmentalist "growth" is an evil word. But one thing no one on the left ever mentioned during the Cold War was the fantastic amount of environmental destruction under every Communist regime.

Only factories in capitalist countries produced pollution. Jane Fonda didn't talk about Chernobyl.

You recognize these things as obvious WHEN I SAY THEM. But a practical dialogue about the real world is difficult unless we all get to the point where we no longer have to explain these connections in detail, a Point B in getting from Point A to Point C.

The Mantra is on the way to showing people that anti-racists are anti-white. When that is done, though the lead time will be very large, people will learn that a planned world movement naturally tends to be an anti-science movement

Complaints about how badly income is distributed have been legitimate since before Christ made them. But we all know that today, someone who talks about income distribution is almost invariably part of a movement that wants all the money to distribute for its own members.

You can't discuss anything rationally without Mantra Thinking.

GEE, THANKS! | 2004-12-13

I may be exaggerating, but it hard for me to think of a single neoconservative who has not written a book saying that professors are biased to the left.

So when somebody writes me a note telling me they agree with my book and professors are baised, it just makes my little heart go plippity-plop. I want to thank them, so I call up to find out what the visting hours are at their retarded home.

If that is all you got our of my book you badly need mental help.

THE LUNCHEONEERS | 2016-02-25

Horus has only made one Luncheoneer comment to me. I'm sure he has forgotten it and I am sure he has outgrown it.

The Luncheoneer comment was when I said interviewers were AFRAID to interview me.

Horus gave me that look I have seen on a Thousand Luncheoneer faces, and said, "Now, Bob, I think you're overestimating yourself."

No, they are just plain scared of me. And Horus has known that quite a while.

I call this twisted lip look The Luncheoneer look because it is the standard reaction from people who say, "I had lunch with President Reagan or "I had lunch with Donald Trump."

These are the very people for whom power-brokers in Washington put on their Deepest Southern Accent.

The Luncheoneers ALWAYS fall for it.

My prime example is the late Senator Sam Ervin of North Carolina.

Ervin USED -- I repeat USED -- a Southern accent that would have seemed excessive in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.

Ervin's favorite lead-in was "I'm just a country lawyer from North Carolina."

Howard Baker of Tennessee was Ranking Member on the Senate Judiciary Committee in a period when Ervin was Chairman, and once when Ervin pulled that "country lawyer" line out Baker lost his temper and said, "Goddamnit, Sam, You are a summa cum laude graduate of the Harvard Law School!"

Sam leaned back in his Chair and replied, "Yea, Howard, but nobody is ever going to know it."

Sam was right as usual.

The people who live by who had lunch with Kissinger or Trump, the Luncheoneers, just like the Celebrity Fart folks today had not the slightest idea who real power was exercised with.

And they didn't CARE.

Power is complicated and hard to put into a simple press release.

And when it comes to power, you will note I am giving this explanation only to BUGSERS, and nobody else would WANT it.

My picture of a Luncheoneer is someone who is a bit like Superman:  He looks like his coats and tie are an outfit PERFECTLY made for him as a child, and which he has worn all his life.

In the evening he just puts his collar on a coat hanger and sleeps in his closet until dawn.

The Luncheoneer reports the world as he sees it and as his readers want to see it: A place where the Power Players are the ones who had lunch with or call the President by his first name.

Not only do I not object to this, it was a major source of my power.

My only problem is when I am honestly trying to judge the effect of my latest power play and the person I am talking to turns, however briefly into a Luncheoneer.

You see, the problem with Luncheoneers News was that which I did never showed up in the news.  I have had a hundred "white genocides" that went viral before the Internet but the whole point was nobody CAUGHT them.

So I depended on the few people in Washington who understood real power.  They were few and VERY far between.

So when people like Horus, however temporarily, gave me the old "You are overestimating yourself" with the curved lip, it was a serious problem.
