HISTORY: INERTIA IN ACTION | nationalsalvation.net

Everything here is connected.

One commenter made a point of saying "DUHH!" - "If it is all about the Mantra why does Bob discuss all this other stuff?

Because the Mantra will need years to sink in, and I won't be here when it does.

Inertia is a major factor in all large, stable societies just as it is factor in large table physical bodies.

And of course I mean relatively stable societies. Even the universe is only relatively stable.

But I have seen things move in power politics and they are very much like the same rules of motion in large planets. A natural satellite may be in a stable orbit for a billion years and then begin to fall out of it. Compare to the agonizingly slow process by which it became unstable in a billion years, the next step is fast.

In a million years it will be wildly unstable. Then a thousand years will see as much change as all that before.

Any pro in power politics will tell you that when you have repeated a telling phrase until you are sure everybody has heard it a hundred times, 99% of the population will have no inkling of it.

Then, after you have given up, like Mussolini's March on Rome, it will suddenly burst forth.

So I am trying to tie things together for you, and to have you set to think out a program when the change hits.

I don't want anyone to say "DUHH!" when the time comes.

Right now all public whites claim to represent everybody. They are clinging to the old colonial white supremacy inertia, so it is naturally exactly that that they denounce.

When the day comes that discussing the survival of our own race becomes permissible, the colonial age will at last be over. As usual, this actuality is a complete contradiction to everything that we take for granted today.

The anti-white whites have a feeling that they are the total moral superiors of every other group. If you want to appeal to blacks or Hispanics or Orientals, you have to appeal to the INTERESTS of blacks or Hispanics or Orientals.

It never occurs to the anti-white whites that their fixed idea that only whites naturally sacrifice their existence without thinking of it is an assumption of moral superiority that would make a slave holder look democratic by comparison.

This will take a LONG time to sink in. But it part of what the Mantra carries with it. And when the implications hit, we are going to have to start thinking ahead.

THE OLD AMERICAN SPLIT | 2010-05-13

The impossible coalition of Southerners and Northern "ethnics" has lasted at least from Jackson's run for president in 1824 and still holds today. Both groups were the Democratic Party for a century and a half. Then both turned into Wallace Democrats and then into Reagan Democrats.

With all their differences, they only had two serious splits. In 1924 the Democratic Party had to decide whether to condemn the violently anti-Catholic Ku Klux Klan. That gets all the discussion today, but another split was that the Klan and Bible Belters were violently in favor of Prohibition and Northern Catholics were against it.

It took almost a hundred and thirty ballots for them to agree on a candidate. He was John W. Davis, the Governor of West Virginia. He was not at the convention. They also decided not to condemn the Klan by a handful of votes. The Republican convention, which included the delegation from Indiana which was ruled by the Klan and governed Indiana, went ahead and condemned the Klan and supported Prohibition.

This same John W. Davis was a very Southern Southerner. In fact, thirty years later this same John W. Davis represented the segregationists, including South Carolina, before the Supreme Court in Brown versus the Board of Education of Topeka.

So the split went, barely, to the Bible Belt Southern wing in 1924.

By 1928 the Klan was a dead letter. This time the convention nominated an anti-Prohibition Catholic from New York -- he used to pose with a glass of beer in his hand, looking at it lovingly. A huge number of Southerners voted for the Republican -- calling themselves Democrats for Coolidge or Southern Democrats.

But the amazing thing is that those were the ONLY splits in this coalition in what is becoming two centuries of voting together. And it was a split decision, the Bible Belt won in 1924 and the Catholics won in 1928, but the Democratic Party went right on without a bump.

A split like that would have ripped any other coalition to shreds. It is hardly noticed today and it was not remembered when it blew the political landscape to hell and back in 1980 and 1994.

It is noticing things like this that made my career in politics.

Contrary to the Ellis Island mythology, Catholics did not just come onto the American shore yesterday. They were a potent force for Andrew Jackson. And the waves of Poles and Italians who came over here a century ago went into ethnic neighborhoods and followed the politics already set down by the Jacksonian Irish.

They no sooner got here than they were entrenched in an old American way of thinking.

It warmed my black little heart when I was sitting in an anti-busing headquarters and someone said, "Well, we've always hated Yankees..." The man who said that had never been south of New York City. The Yankees he was referring to were the ones the theologian Novak had lied and called WASPs.

Another incident in Boston actually embarrassed me, and I am not easily embarrassed. We were talking about our origins, as Southerners and Irishmen will. I talked about the only person in my family tree who did something historic, the Reverend Alexander Whitaker who converted and baptized Pocahontas and wrote the first book in English written in America, which is on the Internet in its entirely, Whitaker's Goode Newes from Virginia.

The point of the story to me is that while historians insist that the Pilgrims founded English America, Reverend Whitaker converted and baptized Pocahontas, married her to John Rolphe, wrote that book and DIED before the Pilgrims got here.

The Southies were thunderstruck. Honestly, you would have thought I had pulled out papers proving I was heir to a Dukedom. It was embarrassing, as if I had tried to trump them totally about my ancestry. It took me a while to catch on.

You see, these people had always been spoken of as if they just came off the boat. The people doing the speaking were the Lowells who speak only to the Cabots, and the Cabots who speak only to God., in short the Yankee descendants of the Pilgrims.

Down South almost all our ancestors were here before 1700, so there was nothing special about mine. But these people had no idea that ANY white person came here before the Pilgrims, and that was a BIG thing in New England.

A Dukedom would have impressed them less.

Can you imagine Americans whose families have been here for a hundred and fifty years actually being put down, and accepting it, by a bunch descended from a group that got lost on its way to Virginia?

The Pilgrims came to Boston earlier, but they had become Europeans. I had come up to join the people around me because they had become my fellow white Americans long since.

Gimme an Irishman behind the bar before a Yankee behind a Harvard lectern any day of the week.

MODERN WAR | 2014-02-16

BUGSERS are in the situation experienced pilots were in at the beginning of the Korean War.

Their experience was with propeller planes. Their every instinct was honed to pre-jet combat. In prop planes your goal was to get on the enemy's tail and stay there until you shot him down.

If a human pilot tries to hang onto a jet's tail he ends up firing at space.

The Korean War jets fired bursts as the enemy came into their sight, then broke off. If a bullet hit the vast amount of fuel a jet must carry in vulnerable areas his plane would explode.

You had to hammer off some critical segment of a prop plane. But if the same pilot tried to hang on the tail in a prop plane, he would have no kills.

On the other hand if the veteran pilot ignores ALL his combat experience, and all the lessons he learned from it, he would be in at least as much trouble.

The old hanging onto the tail strategy is what we call "tailgating." The enemy had a monopoly on jets, network TV and universities in a society where everybody was newly going to college. We had a few books and isolated organizations. Now we have jets, the internet and a whole new communication technology.

Most of the old prop pilots want to fly the new jets the old prop way. We BUGSERS notice anti-whites have the jet's weakness too: They are carrying a lot of explosive fuel in vulnerable places.

Like 1950 jets, their wings are full of gasoline.

Everything for them depends on the good old reliable tailgaters.

For sixty years they have left the tailgaters spinning helplessly in space as they fly off. But you have seen what happens when we fire in bursts.

They explode.

TWIN QUESTIONS | 2004-11-26

People keep telling me not to discuss theology.

Well, you know how us kids are. The more people dictate at me about theology the more I think about it.

Speaking of kids, ever since I was a preteen, two questions in the Bible, far, far apart, have always struck me as twins:

"Am I my brother's keeper?" and "What is truth?" I always felt of them as twins because:

1) Each was spoken directly to God:

2) Neither was answered by God; and

3) The reason that neither was answered by God was because they were not questions;

4) Each time the person "asking" the "question" was not asking, but desperately trying to wash his hands of murder.
