THE ROBERT W. WHITAKER ARCHIVE

PASTORS AND MASTERS | nationalsalvation.net

An education that teaches us not how but what to think is an education that calls for a governing class of pastors and masters. But the very idea of leading somebody is anti-social and anti-spiritual. To the man who exercises it, leadership brings gratification of the craving for power. To those who are led, it brings the gratification of the desire for certainty and security.

But, surely, it is not the voice of reality. For the voice of reality must come to you. It cannot be appealed to, you cannot pray to it. You cannot entice it into your little cage by placating it, by suppressing yourself or emulating others. That which you ask for you get. But it is not the truth. If you want, and if you petition, you will receive, but you will pay for it in the end.

Aldous Huxley

Observing and Then Explaining

No one can see the real world if he has to instantly explain what he observes. Science is based on observing and them explaining. Wordism insists that all things be explained within the "Great Book" before it can be observed.

Science

Most men only care for science so far as they get a living by it, but they will worship error when it affords them a subsistence.

Johann Goethe

Orthodoxy

Donít you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? Has it ever occurred to you, Winston, that by the year 2050, at the very latest, not a single human being will be alive who could understand such a conversation as we are having now?

The whole climate of thought will be different. In fact, there will be no thought, as we understand it now. Orthodoxy means not thinking ó not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness.

Complexity blurs the obvious.

Argument

Refutation is no necessay part of argument.

CELEBRITY CONDOMS | 2004-06-24

In case you are ever tempted to take celebrity brain power seriously, let me quote one.

On a talk show, this guy said, "I'm not afraid of AIDS. I use condoms. They block AIDS 98% of the time."

The host responded, "So that means if you use a condom and have sex fifty times, you'll get a fatal disease."

The celebrity replied, "Oh. I didn't think of it that way."

OCCIDENTAL WISDOM | 1999-10-16

I may be a late bloomer, but I didn't know that "occidental" meant "western" until I was in college.

I had known that "Oriental" meant "Eastern" since I was in grammar school. This was because we always heard about Oriental Wisdom. For most of our history, Western scholars accepted the slogan "Ex Oriente Lux," which means, "Enlightenment Comes From the East."

From this base, we got the verb which describes what you must do if you are to discover where you are. In order to find out where you are, your true location, you must "orient" yourself.

Whatever truth there may have been in the past to "Ex Oriente Lux," it has been outdated for centuries. I think we need to get over this idea that true wisdom comes from the Orient. For most of history, the mentality of the Orient has produced stagnation and tyranny.

To me, real wisdom today is almost entirely a product of Western Civilization.

To see wisdom in most of what the Orient has produced in recent times is to fall for the most absurd kind of fraud. Westerners who fall for this sort of thing are usually robbed by some kind of silly guru.

Actually, Japan and other countries have made progress only by learning what the West has to teach. The first thing a country in the Middle East or in Asia must do to get freedom and to feed its children is to "occident" itself.

In a couple of thousand years, the Far East has produced a few really excellent comments. We have all heard, "The longest journey begins with a single step." My favorite, especially as I get older, is, "The palest ink is better than the best memory."

But in the real world, you will find that it is only ignorant, inexperienced people who think that a few quotes and an image makes someone Wise. Actually, the few wise sayings we can get from Eastern Philosophy are tiny gold nuggets pulled out of a vast river of pure, unmitigated crap.

What an ignorant person does not know is how many sayings there are in the Far East, and how incredibly unusual it is to find anything intelligent in these sayings. The Far East is an ocean of double-talk.

One of the major myths of Oriental Wisdom comes from stories of how travelers spent years in Tibetan monasteries, and gained deep and valuable knowledge there. Nothing could be sillier.

In those monasteries in Tibet, where there is supposed to be all that arcane wisdom, the usual discussion goes like this

A young monk walks up and loudly, formally addresses The Old One, who is seated and looking Terribly Wise. The young monk asks, "Master, what is the nature of man?"

And the Wise One answers something like,

"A frog may jump twice, but not three times."

And the young monk answers, "Thank you for your Valuable Answer!"

These crazy exchanges goes on and on. This is the kind of thing these ADULTS actually spend their lives on!

For endless ages, Oriental Wise Men have sat around saying things like, "Meditate upon The Clapping of a Single Hand."

I would answer this with a bit of Occidental Wisdom: "By definition, a single hand doesn't clap."

What if I were to try to sound profound by saying, "Let's all think about the firing of an empty gun." You would think I was being pretty damned silly, and you would be right.

Most Oriental Wisdom can be described this way: "It sounds obscure, but it is actually meaningless."

These guys are sort of like Western bureaucrats. They need to get a real job.

SIEGECRAFT: SCHADENFREUDE | nationalsalvation.net

Finding out about reality comes from almost any starting point. Mine has been racial. But soon one cannot really look at enemies of our race without learning about the hatred that comes from jealousy.

One notes very quickly that the people how shout "Hate!" the most are the ones who hate the most. You begin to notice the basis of hatred. You begin to notice its symptoms. So you understand leftist economics. You see that leftists TALK about the poor, but their real focus, their real goal, is hatred of the rich.

You see the undercurrent of the left. They do not REALLY mind so much if people are desperately poor. They are livid about some people being rich. In other words, they talk about loving the poor but their real motivate n is that they hate the rich. By the same token, anti-whites don't are if people are ugly. Their motivation is that they hate those who are beautiful.

The Germans have a word for this. It is called Schadenfreude, the joy a person takes when someone who is better off than he is suffers horribly. There is no English word for it, but it is an explanation for most of the sickest things in our society. If we realize THAT, maybe our society wouldn't look this way. As one whose life has been devoted to racial survival, this has been obvious to me from the get-go. Others NEVER discover it.

The same respectable conservative who says over and over that leftists hate the rich and don't care about the poor cannot see that same attitude about race. As an extension of what Trager Smith says, it is the right, the "Pro-Lifers" and the National review types, who are the ones who are dedicated to the end of the white race today.

If you look at race, you begin to see that somehow suicide has become an ideal in our society. And you find out why, IF YOU LOOK UP.

I started by looking DOWN. I had the childish torchlight parade view of history. I blamed everything on Jewish influence. That was back in my white hat black hat days of cowboy movies. But there was one saving grace. I was also not interested entirely in the Middle East or in Jews. I came to understand that the Jews, despite what Jews and anti-Semites agree on, did not make our world. They did not make HALF our world, the purely evil half.

In fact you cannot find the Aryan suicide disease anywhere in the Middle East, though you spend eighteen hours a day poring over the Talmud for hidden codes. You find it in all OUR religions. No one but me has ever commented on the fact that the suicide impulse of St. Paul had no basis at all, whatsoever, in the Old Testament. Jesus could have said that thinking of SEX when one saw a beautiful woman was a sin, but he did NOT say that. He said "adultery."

It took millions of words of Biblical Commentary to get everyone's mind off the realization that Jesus knew the difference between simple sex and adultery. If a supernatural influence got our minds off that, I doubt it came from Heaven. No, you can't find a condemnation of survival itself anywhere in the Old Testament or in the words of Jesus. It came from St. Paul, and St. Paul got it from the overwhelming alternative religion of his day and place: degenerate Zoroastrianism, which before it became degenerate, specifically excluded all but Aryans.

Hence "Iran."

You can start in one point and deduce the world from it. Or you can start with race and look DOWN. Your world becomes Jews or blacks or some other obsession. You know more and more about less and less until your entire world consists of justifying your obsessive worldview. It is a tiny worldview. And it is a DELICATE worldview.

It is delicate the way anti-evolutionary fundamentalism is delicate. Any proof of any aspect of evolution or any animal that lived before 4004 BC can destroy your entire lifetime of faith. When these people read what I say, they couldn't care less about where I am going. They are looking for some statement of mine that is contrary to their delicate faith.

"Give me a lever and a place to stand and I will move the world."

Give me a place to begin and I will unravel mysteries.

But no lever can move the world if your one favorite cloud has to stay in the same exact spot.
