THE ROBERT W. WHITAKER ARCHIVE

PETER PAIN STRIKES AGAIN! | 2006-10-01

Pain mentioned that he knows five languages. He then added a separate cautionary comment that "knw" is not the same thing as "fluent." That later comment convinces me -- though his word is enough -- that he DOES know five languages.

In another comment, Dave said,

"If you are a target of any kind ploy by someone who is attempting to hustle you, you have the option to remain silent and passive and admit to yourself that you do not know his or her objects. As BW keeps pointing out, there is great value in failing to be shrewd."

"You can also pretend that you are a retard. That ploy has saved many of poor soldier's life and is especially effective if you happen to look like a retard."

This combination of insights gives me a chance to give you some of my recollections and know you will understand what I am getting at.

I discussed the fact that what one knows is what one normally finds interesting. This works both ways. You learn about things you are interested in, that obvious. But you also find something interesting if you happen to know something about it. I learned a nodding acquaintane with languages because I HAD to. I HATE having to learn one.

I have a standard reply when someon gets too inquisitive about my knowledge of languages:

"Hell, I've been kicked out of EVERYWHERE."

But as Pain says, when you are forced to dabble in languages you become hypersenstitive to the difference between knowledge, "living in the language," flency, and multilingual. Ther is a GEOMETRIC difference between these levels.

Most of us older people who traveled a lot have had the odd experience of having someone explain to us, in perfect English, that the speaker is NOT able to communicate in English. Why is someone telling us, in perfect English, that he cannot communicated with us in English?

The reason is because the one thing a person learns in a new language is how to talk about languages. Almost anybody who has ever had to deal with languages remembers "nie panyamana parusski"or "Comprendo un POCO espanol." People dealing in languages naturally talk a lot about how little they speak, so a person can hold a complete conversation in a language he has no real knowledge of.

This is very confusing for us because we all, somewhere in our skulls, take it for granted that other people really understand OUR language. There was an old joke down where I come from that, "When all those French and Germans sit down in

front of the TV with a beer, they cut all that crap and talk American like everybody else does."

As one English lady is uspposed to have said, "I feel that ANYONE can understand English if it is spoken loudly and clearly enough." Older people who arenot used to different languages very often treat the person who doesn't understand them as if they were deaf.

I still get a laugh to of case where I used this. Two middle-aged American women were in a European train station as I came up back when the signs were, in smaller stations, thoroughly monolingual. Only locals came to such small stations. One of the ladies asked me, "Do you speak English?"

I replied, "Well, I'm from South Carolina, so I guess you'd say so." So I translated the sign for them. Then a man who was obviously one of their husbands walked up. She explained to him how this nice man had helped them out.

He turned to me and said, loudly and clearly, "THANK YOU! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!"

I couldn't resist. I gave him an uncomprehending stare so he looked me straight in the eye, enunciated each word carefully, and shouted, "THANK YOU! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!"

I gave him the old "Sambo no get it, but Sambo good boy" look and grinned broadly and uncomprehendingly. He smiled and nodded back and they went away. I went away laughing and imagining what the conversation was like when she informed him I was an America.

I STILL laugh about that!

You can use this to enormous advantage. Most people who are in the presence of people speaking a language which is totally alien to them interrupt the flow of the talk freely. They would never do that in a language they understand, but one cannot help feeling that what these people are babbling to each other is not real speech, the stuff nice people don't interrupt.

Maybe it's interrogration background or just common sense -- the two are inextricable -- but I can tell when somebody has reached abreak, even when it's in Urdu. The result of htis is that I have a huge string of people, from Koreans to Pakistanis and beyond, who are absolutely convinced that I speak their native tongue fluently.

To begin with, everybody has the impression that someone else probably talks the way they do. Secondly, if you know when to break intot he conversation,then you must know the language. I have forced a LOT of people to speak our common tongue in front of me because they feel I know something and they don't want to get caught saying something in their own tongue they don't want me to hear.

There is a lot of acting to this. But you are at a distinct disadvantage in intelligence work if two people you are talking with can freely talk to each other in their own tongue. My Rabic is gone with the wind that Mohammed breathed. I mean it's GONE. But I was ina Moscow bar talking with two Arabs, and when I was introduced one from Egypt, I said, "Keef hallak."

Then I looked abit embarrassed and said, "Sorry, you don't say that in Egypt, do you?"

Every time these two guys lapsed into Arabic, their eyes cut around to me. I didn't understand anything they were saying, but I put a real et blanket on any attempt they might have made to compare stories.

I started this reminiscence with Peter Pain's and Dave's comments so let me get back to them:

1) He knows five languages;

2) He is very aware of the difference in competence levels in languages;

3) I can't say it better than Dave did:

"If you are a target of any kind ploy by someone who is attempting to hustle you, you have the option to remain silent and passive and admit to yourself that you do not know his or her objects. As BW keeps pointing out, there is great value in failing to be shrewd."

"You can also pretend that you are a retard. That ploy has saved many of poor soldier's life and is especially effective if you happen to look like a retard."

If you combine these insights, you can get a practical use out of languages you don't even KNOW.

MORE STORMFRONT FRUSTRATION | 2006-07-24

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Comrade Kenny, who in heaven's name do you think you're arguing with!?

I have said REPEATEDLY that those who moan about "preaching to the choir" are just another brand of defeatist. Every time Kelso mentions another milestone, somebody seems to moan,"But it's all HOPELESS! We're just preaching to the choir!" I have jumped all over them, over and over.

Every Sunday that most successful of religions, Christianity, preaches to the choir. I have said that over and over and over here. And you add the other point I keep making, that we are preaching to the growing numbers who read here and join.

I keep repeating that.

But DISCRIMINATE. When I am trying to make a new, constructive point about helping the Jews destroy themselves and someone says to ME, "But Bob, it's HOPELESS! The Jews have a lot of power!" it is not preaching to the choir. It's DEFEATISM.

Come on, Kenny, if there's one thing us Evil Racists should be able to do it's DISCRIMINATE. I ask you to have the kindness to use that ability when you're talking to ME.

PORCHING | 2010-06-21

I find reading recent comments exhilarating.

A verb occurred to me that would only be understandable by a person who has been a regular member, even if is not commenting but auditing the course carefully.

That verb is "porching."

I sit up and take notice when people begin to tie things together. I sit up and notice when people are talking about what they DID, like Truck Roy and White Rabbit, how they HANDLE actual experiences with our way of defining our message, developing out own way of thinking, and at the same time introducing different kinds of people to THINKING.

There are words like intellectualizing and preaching and so forth, but porching, among us, does a lot to explain itself. The family on the porch is listening to old wisdom and children who are not afraid to give their opinions.

Sure, most of what young people have to say will seem obvious to them later on. But even in a normal family each person is not afraid to go ahead and say it. They say it in terms which have been worked out inside the family, inside the SOCIETY.

Porch talk, among other things, is not from Mommy Professor, but from LIVING.

Parkinson, of Parkinson's Law fame years ago, pointed out that Karl Marx's basic problem was that he had no one near him to say "Balderdash!" That is, of course, Mommy Professor's problem too, and that Marx is underneath all Political Correctness, left AND right, is not coincidental.

But none of the words like over intellectualizing and so forth really lead to what we might call porching. If I could give you a clear explanation of what porching is, we would just have another Wordism.

No, I want you think some about that verb. It is the essence of a real society. It is the essence of what the family group can give that the media take away. It is THINKING. It is trying things out. It is saying "Balderdash!"

I have said repeated that what I feel I have to offer is a WAY OF THINKING. That cannot be defined, but you can sure as hell tell what it's NOT. But really just the word itself is what I have to offer here, since we all have a clear idea what "porching" is, and only we do.

I will give one example of what "porching" is NOT. It is NOT Family Values. That is simply a way to indoctrinate your children against the ruling indoctrination. A healthy family raised on porch talk can have members who end up on the right and the left, and most of them will freely admit they don't give a damn about a lot of stuff.

I think mantra think on the verb porching is worth one of our thousands of articles here.

After all, the whole point of Mantra thinking is that I give you things to chew on, not that I teach you some rigid doctrine. I am not Mommy Professor. I am not Family Values. As long as you clearly understand what the traps of Wordism are, you will have to proceed to build your own world view.

Here as on the porch, The Old Man's job is to give some good ideas on how to follow your own path. I can give you invaluable practice is seeing what is just plain silly. Then you can start off clean and fresh and go out like we did from the porch, happily thinking the other is way off tilt on a lot of things.

But we are learning here what is just plain silly. Since porching went out of fashion, no one else seems to have a way of doing that.

SOME NECESSARY AND IMMEDIATE "I TOLD YOU SO'S | 2016-11-17

Apparently nobody else is EVER going to notice them, so let me throw in some "I told you so's".

First of all, my honored friend David Duke resurrected his serious political career.

As usual, this important fact was only mentioned in the Establishment Press by insulting Dr. Duke. It was announced as "good news" that, though Trump won the presidency, Dr. Duke did not come nearly as close to winning top level office as he did before.

The United States Government spent over fourteen million dollars to get Dr. Duke into Federal prison. This was done to ruin his political prospects.

So the real story is that even after that gigantic effort to destroy him, that here he is again.

But you don't get anywhere in the elite media by telling the real story.

The real story is also Duke's campaign became effective when he allowed his followers to use the simple truth: "Diversity" is White Genocide.

His late start was due entirely to his waiting too long to get to the real story, the real truth:

White genocide.

He finally used the advice of a professional, me, instead of joining in with the old pro-whites in yelling how lowah clahss telling the truth would make the old pro-whites look.

I understand this. David laid low on attacks on my slogan because he is much closer to the old pro-white elite than I am.

That's not surprising. I cannot think of any person living who has been more habitually denounced by the old pro-white elite than I have. But he STILL didn't contact me.

So it was another example of the fact that even when you switch to using his advice, Bob Whitaker, is still summa cum untouchable.

But I'm used to that. I can do with the persona non grata bit if you will just USE my professional strategy.  The big point is that that mistake cost Dr. Duke what could have been a stunning comeback instead of just a good one.

Another point no one is apparently going to mention until I do is that the electorate is different when it is split into more than two parts.

It is historically very, very unusual for the next president to have a minority of the popular vote.

But it is scarcely mentioned, though I have been talking about some such a split as making the difference for over six months.

The danger is that, whatever causes this don't speak of Bob complex, this election shows the very split in the electorate I tried to warn about. It will be there next election. It is now part of political reality. Is avoiding Bob really worth simply ignoring the basic new political reality?

I get the creepy feeling that, for many of the Luncheoneers, no price is too high for avoiding BUGSERS and Bob.

I am just not that important, gang!

Also a couple more points which apparently will be totally unnoticed by BUGSERS or anti-BUGSERS,  just to get the important point over with so we can get back to celebrity farts.

BOTH of the Lunchocrat spots made by Jared were IMMEDIATELY denounced by Trump himself.

My own White Genocide spots were retweeted by Mr. Trump and he has not looked back.

Dave went with the Lunchocrats too long, old friends or not.

The bottom line is that, yes, this sold
