Why Shouldn’t Iran Have Nukes?
Well, I’m totally lost again.
All men are created equal, right? Every country has the same sovereignty as every other, right?
I have heard that all my life. Especially from Jews and people like Tony Blair and George Bush.
Now the United States and Britain and Israel, all of which have nuclear bombs, are telling Iran it has no right to nuclear weapons.
Why?
According to the doctrine of the United Nations, Dahomey and North Korea have all the same sovereignty that every other country has. They have the right to have any weapons they want.
I believe in racial differences. I believe that non-white countries do not the same legitimacy as white countries. And I say so.
That makes me anzaiwhowantstokillsixmilionjews.
But how can someone who does not say what I say claim that Iran or Dahomey have no right to nuclear weapons?
No one else will ask this. So I will.
If Jesus Had Been a Good Jehovist There Would Have Been No Parables
Every time someone sends me quotes from the Old Testament I am reminded of the fact that the Temple Priests, the Scribes and Pharisees and the lawyers (the only profession He ever specifically denounced) knew those scriptures upside down. They knew them in Greek. They knew them in Hebrew. They could recite them backwards.
The greatest theologian outside of Heaven Itself is Satan.
Jesus went out among the people and said those total experts on the Old Testament did not UNDERSTAND what they knew by heart.
I am told the Jews are saved. What Jesus Himself said was:
“I am the way, the truth and the life. No man goes to the Father but by me.”
Did He say this to Buddhists because they did not know the Old Testament?
No. He said it to Jews.
In fact the first people to accept Christ, according to Matthew, did not know anything about the Old Testment. They were the Magi, which means that they were clergymen of Zoroastrianism.
And Jesus said over and over and over and over that He, not the Old Testament, was the Way.
But all the churches tell me that Jesus is a kind of asterisk at the end of the Old Testament.
The Reconstruction Church says, “The Old Testament is seventy percent of the Bible.” And then they call themselves Christians, though Christ’s words are nothing more than the words of the lowliest prophet, or the words of the snake in Eden, in their arithmetic.
They say that Jesus spoke in Old Testament terms.
No joke? Why on earth would Jesus speak in Old Testament terms when He was in Israel?
Maybe, just maybe, because He was in Israel?
I can’t understand why there is not a church that requires that you learn Aramaic if you are to be saved.
Jesus spoke Aramaic.
Now why on earth did he speak Aramaic instead of Hindi or Persian?
I would say that Jesus spoke Aramaic for the same reason He spoke in Old Testament terms. Nobody around Him would understand Him had he spoken Persian or Coptic.
But if you can only be a Christian if you speak in terms of the Old Testament, why can you be a Christian without speaking Aramaic? Why isn’t Aramaic essential to salvation?
Jehovists would reply that the idea that one has to speak Aramaic for salvation is silly. He has the right to say that to me.
On one condition:
That condition is that every time you spout the Old Testament at me, I have the right to say that the idea that one has to speak Old Testament for salvation is silly.

*** Bob’s Insider’s Message ***
(reprinted here from 11/7/04)
In my blog I had an article about AN important aspect of this election.
It is included below, and shame on you who haven’t read it already!
http://www.whyjohnny.com/blog/
The important aspect is the race gap. Whites are in one corner, minorities in the other.
What is more important is that whites are not feeling guilty about it. In fact, whites are getting angry and mean.
At last!
Somewhere in the American pshyche there is a growing realization that there is more at stake here than polite elections.
So I wrote about that. The immediate response was a burst of fury from people who said Bush was no better than Kerry and there was no such change and so forth. I wrote pointing out I was not talking about Bush. I was not talking about Republicans.
I was talking about something more important.
But the whiners wanted to whine. They fought me like tigers over my imagined Bush support. I voted a straight Constitution Party ticket.
Two thoughts:
1) I do not tolerate fools. I was talking about an undercurrent of movement of which this election is a symptom. Nobody else would notice it.
So if all you hear is “BUSH!” or whatever the latest buzz is, you can get a lot more from experts. Bush is a tree in the forest. The news and commentary will tell you about every leaf on that tree, what kind of wood it is made of, and everything else that fascinates the average political moron.
If that is your fascination, then WhitakerOnline is the wrong place to look;
2) If the whiners spent half the time and effort they waste fighting for the idea that all is lost instead of fighting for something worthwhile, a lot less would be lost.
From the Blog: Whites Are Moving Right
As always, what matters in politics is being ignored. That’s why they paid me the big bucks.
Part of professional politics is realizing that a black or brown skin means a Democrat vote. You aren’t allowed to say that, but the Democrat Party spends many millions each year to get out the minority vote.
They put their money where the bigot’s mouth is: a dark skin is a Democrat.
Back in the 1980s, all the media were talking about “the gender gap.” This meant that Republicans were not getting the women’s vote.
But people like me, people who got paid for this kind of thing, were noticing one tiny little fact that meant nothing to the media but meant everything to those of us who did this for a living: Republicans were WINNING.
Silly little point, isn’t it?
In defense of those of us who did this for a living, let me say that winning elections was what we were all about. So while the media were fascinated by Republican sexual oppression and the Democrat capture of women and minorities, we had a forgivable obsession with the fact that Republicans were winning real elections.
I know it sounds simplistic, but remember we were not paid to be fashionable. Our job was to win elections.
When you said “the gender gap” back then, you meant the women’s vote. But professionals like me considered men’s votes important, too.
We had this silly idea that there are TWO genders. So it seemed logical that if the Democrats were getting the women’s vote and losing, the Republicans must be getting the men’s vote and winning.
Silly little point, isn’t it?
My silly little mind would say that since the Republicans were losing a lot of the women’s vote and still winning, and since there are only two genders out there, the Democrats had an even bigger gender gap on the male side.
A political science professor announced to the graduate class I was in – I went back to school briefly in 1992 – that a male gender gap is not a gender gap. Only a female gender gap is a gender gap.
If this sounds stupid to you, remember the fact that nobody but me has noticed the growing RACE gap today.
Brown skins are increasing at a breathless pace. But Republicans have the Presidency and a majority of both Houses of Congress.
Back when whites were a solid and overwhelming majority of the population, Democrats controlled both Houses of Congress.
As brown skins increase, the Democrats are piling up automatic votes. Everybody notices that.
But somebody like me notices that there are TWO groups involved here. There are not just minorities, there are also whites.
All I read on Stormfront is pointing frantically at the growing minority vote. Nobody ever seems to notice what is happening to the white vote.
While everybody else is busy panicking, I quietly note that the white vote is moving steadily to the right. This steady movement is under way, and it shows no sign of retreating.
Whites are ceasing to feel guilty about being on the other side from the minorities.
Whites are getting really angry. They are beginning to see that there is more at stake here than polite disagreement.
Well, DUUH, you say. But if you have been watching this for fifty years, this is a breakthrough.
I thought that whites would never even BEGIN to catch on. But their opinions are finally moving.
So can’t we all cry and wail over the increasing non-white population?
I was raised where whites were a minority, but they were hard right.
We ruled.
No multi-racial society is ever a democracy. So when we move right, and if we are hard right, we will become the ruling group.
Sorry if that doesn’t sound depressing enough.
OK, you can now go back to panicking. I just thought I might mention this.

(reprinted to Blog from 11/20/04)
The point of Why Johnny Can’t Think is that college campuses belong to those who pay for them – US!!! We must DEMAND an end to the religion of Political Correctness and the Star Chamber treatment of dissidents.
Here is a PERFECT case in point. A professor who is honest about Mexican immigration, the threat to the white race, and the superiority of Western Civilization is under assault. WE should be demanding the same of LEFTIST professors. WE should stand up for those honest professors who are fighting for us.
I emailed Dr. Walter Kehowski that I had been sent a link for the newspaper article below referring to his website in a negative way, and let him know I had found his website. I told him I was a former academic and lifelong opponent of the religion of Political Correctness, and knew what he was going through. He responded with a thanks for my support and any extra support would help the Maricopa Community Colleges (and his college, Glendale Community College) not to compromise.
We MUST tell them to stand up for Professor Kehowski’s right to free and open debate and opinion. WE PAY for these SCHOOLS. We, not freeloading Mexicans, should be calling the shots.
The good doctor is a fellow WOL and Why Johnny Can’t Think reader. He thought the book was terrific! I appreciate that. WE NEED many more like him teaching. We must stand up for him.
P.S. This article refers to Dr. Kehowski as “Mr.” See how they are already trying to subtley “defrock” him from their priesthood.

Hispanics sue county college system
Group: Prof’s e-mails racist
Robert Anglen
The Arizona Republic
Nov. 13, 2004 12:00 AM
A Latino civil rights group has filed a federal lawsuit against the Maricopa Community Colleges over racially charged messages a professor has posted on the campus computer system.
The class action suit, filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Phoenix on behalf of several Latino faculty members at Glendale Community College, accuses officials of doing nothing to stop Walter Kehowski from using the computer to send discriminatory messages and to create a Web site with links to White supremacist sites.
“The e-mails transmitted by Mr. Kehowski have, among other things, denounced ‘multiculturalism’ and ‘d-d-d-diversity’ and encouraged recipients to acknowledge and celebrate the superiority of Western Civilization,” the lawsuit claims. “These e-mails also contained excerpts from and links to articles denigrating Latinos, immigrants and many other minority groups, with titles such as ‘California’s Being Invaded, Too – By Hispanic Holidays.’ ”
But college administrators say Kehowski has not violated any school rules and they say his right to use the computer is protected.
“The same freedoms that allow faculty members to voice opposition to this and allow students to have protests are the same laws that protect faculty members and allow (Kehowski) to have his opinion,” said Chris Chesrown, spokeswoman for the community colleges. “The college environment is indeed supposed to be a marketplace of ideas. Some of those ideas will not be ideas that everyone adheres to.”
Kehowski did not return calls or e-mails Friday.
But members of the Los Angeles-based Mexican-American Legal Defense and Educational Fund say the professor’s e-mails and Web site have negatively affected nearly 280,000 students and faculty members at the district’s 10 campuses.
“Plaintiffs, students and other employees complained directly to (college) officials,” according to the suit, which describes Kehowski’s computer transmissions as racially disparaging, abusive, threatening and hostile.
Since the e-mails surfaced a year ago, some students and Latino groups have called for the college to discipline Kehowski. Last month, students and educators staged a demonstration against what they call “discrimination and hate.”
In May, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission investigated a complaint filed by college employees and issued a letter of determination. The commission said the school should work with angry employees to resolve the situation, but a determination finding typically means investigators had reasonable cause to believe discrimination occurred.
“The federal government did an independent investigation and the government concluded that the college had an illegally hostile work environment,” said Victor Viramontes, Mexican-American Legal Defense and Educational Fund lawyer. “Employers have a responsibility to keep employees free of a hostile work environment.”
Viramontes wants the court to force the school to take action. He is also seeking unspecified monetary damages.
“We want the court to enjoin Kehowski and other employees from disseminating these intimidating and racist e-mails and maintaining racist and intimidating Web pages on the college’s computer,” he said. “The federal government has already notified the college that there is a serious problem here and the college chose to ignore it.”
Chesrown says Maricopa Community Colleges has not ignored the issue. Chancellor Rufus Glasper has called for a committee to review college computer policies.
Some of the committee’s initial recommendations would likely have made Kehowski’s computer use a violation of policy, Chesrown said.
“The district is very committed to the diversity of voices,” she said.

Quiet Desperation
Posted by Bob in Musings about Life on 11/20/2004
I think it was Emerson or Thoreau who said, “Most men lead lives of quiet desperation.”
And women are always wondering, “Why can’t he be satisfied with…?”
The answer to this question is everywhere.
Everywhere except among the women’s libbers and the so-called “intellectuals” who teach women to be men.
It is the male peacock who shows his feathers. It is the male of every species who struts his stuff. It is the male lion who wants more mates.
No male of any species is ever satisfied. No male of any species is ever fulfilled. No male of any species is “happy.”
The female of every species checks to be sure the kids are doing well. If the ones she loves are all right she is satisfied. The only reason she is not fully satisfied is because the male she cares about is not all right.
Be she human or lion or peacock, she cannot understand why he is not satisfied.
UN Staff is Worried About PC Stuff, not Sick Kids
The UN staff just passed a resolution of “No Confidence” in Koffi Annan.
But not because Koffi Annan and his Third World-minded United Nations got bribed by Saddam with money that was supposed to provide medicine for sick children for years. For the UN, that’s business as usual.
No, it was sexual harrassment investigations being suppressed that the UN staff talked about. Sexual harrassment is a Politically Correct issue.
Jury-Made Law
Posted by Bob in Law and Order on 11/18/2004
Every law student learns about “judge-made law.” No one talks about jury-made law.
For many years South Carolina had rigid limitations on serving alcoholic beverages. This was a huge handicap to restaurants.
While the rest of South Carolina enforced these restrictions, there were open bars in Charleston. It is said that in the 1940s Governor Johnston (“a personal and political dry”) once called the Mayor of Charleston and told him to close those bars.
The Mayor replied, “You close them.”
That was the end of the debate. Charleston stayed wet while the rest of the state played with liquor-by-the-drink laws.
Finally a bartender in Columbia hit upon a grand scheme. He sold SETUPS. He GAVE away little liquor bottles the customer could pour into the nonalcoholic setup he bought.
A judge ruled in his favor. The judge said, “There is no law against a man giving away his liquor.”
Liquor by the drink became legal. That’s why so many South Carolina bars give you those little bottles. But this was not judge-made law. This was jury-made law.
The reason the judge made that decision was because no jury would convict those who served mixed drinks any more. The juries had repealed the law.
Exactly the same thing has happened over and over in Anglo-Saxon history. The laws on the books in the early ninteenth century still made picking pockets a capital offense, but no jury would convict because they simply wouldn’t hang a ten-year-old child.
In 1834, Andrew Jackson did what no president since had the guts to do. The Supreme Court made a decision, and Jackson said, “The Supreme Court made this law. Now let the Supreme Court ENFORCE it.”
If any President since had had that kind of courage, there would be no judge-made law.
The unique characteristic of Anglo-Saxon law is that everyone has a right to a jury trial. The legislature may have passed the law unanimously, but it doesn’t mean a thing if the jury won’t enforce it.
When I was coming up, if anyone had sold drugs on school grounds, a parent would have blown his head off, in public, with a twelve-gauge shotgun loaded with 4s.
Under the law, that was cold-blooded, premeditated, first degree murder.
And no jury would have convicted him.
Back then, nobody sold drugs on school grounds.
Fifty Years of Fighting Makes You MEAN!
Stupidity has always been a capital crime.
So the poor little American workers whine to me that they seem to suddenly face dropping wages. Their streets aren’t safe.
Poor babies!
For fifty years I have told them to stop worshiping their liberal “labor leaders.” For fifty years I have told people that this “nation of immigrants” crap and this racial guilt trip was cutting their throats.
And they replied, “Well, if this be treason, loving my colored brother and being a Nation of Immigrants, then let us make the most of it.”
OK, you S.O.B., stop whining and let’s make the most of it.
Just stop WHINING!
You asked for it, and you got it.
Stupidity has always been a capital offense.
You’re lucky if they let you live.
The New Inquisition is the Old Inquisition
Posted by Bob in Political Correctness on 11/16/2004
Pretty soon Mr. Fromm will know whether the Canadian government simply seized Why Johnny Can’t Think: America’s Professor-Priesthood
READBOB.COM
or whether they burned it.
He will know because he will receive a bill if it is burned.
You see, Canada’s present Inquisition is the legitimate descendant of the Old Inquisition.
In the Old Inquisition when a person was burned alive for heresy their family had to pay the expenses. This included not only the wood and the executioner’s trouble, but also the torturer’s time, use of the equipment and a lot more.
No, I am NOT joking.
If a banned book is sent to someone in Canada and burned, the person it is sent to must pay for the cost of burning it.
No, I am NOT joking.
A Health Secret — LITERALLY!
Posted by Bob in How Things Work on 11/16/2004
Over thirty years ago I read an article about a leader of a group of men who got stuck in the Arctic for the winter. They had traps and other equipment so they were able to catch animals for food.
But they had no gardening equipment, and it is notoriously hard to raise a garden in the winter inside the Arctic Circle. In other words they had nothing to eat BUT the animals they caught. In other words they ate nothing but meat for several MONTHS.
At this point the writer anticipated all the attacks he was going to get from doctors and professional nutritionists and all the other people –and there are millions of them — who make their living by telling us exactly what we should eat and the need for a balanced diet.
After apologizing to all those hordes of professional nutritionists, he said that not only did his group not have a single case of vitamin deficiency, but every single man there became ABSURDLY healthy, down to glowing complexions and healthy hair.
This fact was instantly forgotten, and I thought that, as usual, I was the only person on earth who remembered it.
After I went on the Atkins Diet, I mentioned the above incident to a doctor who spent thirty years in the Air Force Reserve. He told me he had taken the course for doctors on Arctic survival, and there were a number of cases of exactly the same thing happening to other groups.
Men who spent MONTHS with nothing but meat to eat. “But,” said the survival instructor, “It’s nothing to be concerned about. NO ONE WHO HAS BEEN THROUGH THAT HAS EVER ENDED UP ANYTHING BUT MUCH HEALTHIER.”
It turns out I was not the only one who knew about this, but that I was the only one who had thought about it.
This is like those seven million Jews in the Roman Empire, the ones who totally discredit the whole Chrisitan theory of history and the rigid doctrine of the Diaspora on which every ounce of justification for the existence of Israel rests.
These repeated incidents, these statistically significant results, discredit the whole “balanced diet” theory! Only by totally ignoring this reality can the multi-billion-dollar nutrition industry blithely go along getting paid to dictate to us!
But no one has asked them why an all-meat diet is a secret to health.
Why? Because it is, indeed, a secret.
And while Dr. Atkins lived through decades of attacks, not one single person discussed this fact except in Arctic survival courses for doctors and one article.
While the obesity epidemic ruined lives, no one mentioned what amounted to a massive laboratory test.
This is inexcusable!

October 30, 2004
This game they call the election will soon be over and we can get back to serious matters.
You will notice that WhitakerOnline this time is on this very subject.
The whole theme of WhitakerOnline is truth you already know, the fact that by the time an election occurs, all the important issues have long since been decided by people like you and me and in places like WhitakerOnline.
Many of my readers seem to think that there is some kind of mysterious cabal that does all the planning in politics. That is simply not true.
John Soros is a multibillionaire who is obsessed with destroying George Bush. With all his money, he has not even made a dent.
The reason I don’t believe in the kind of Conspiracies people talk about is because, as Ben Franklin observed, “Three people can keep a secret, but only if two of them are dead.”
Actually conspiracy theories serve exactly the same purpose that “get out the vote” campaigns do.
A “get out the vote” campaign is designed to give legitimacy to the system. It makes the unimportant choice we are finally left with seem like The Voice of the People.
Conspiracy Theories do the same thing. They tell people that the system is too secret and too powerful for anybody to affect it.
Whether it’s a “get out the vote” campaign or a Conspiracy Theory the final message is that your ideas don’t count, you can’t buck the System.
Meanwhile we need to get this stupid election over and get back to bucking the system.

TV Obscenity is BORING
Posted by Bob in Musings about Life on 11/13/2004
I was watching the Showtime series, “Dead Like Me.”
The language is nasty. I spent a lot of time in drug recovery, so that doesn’t bother me.
In fact, the only thing that bothers me about it is that their dirty language is so BORING. The s word and the f word, over and over and over and over and over ad infinitum.
If you’ve got to be obscene, at least do a good job of it.
My father was the son of a Methodist circuit rider. When he started cursing, my mother used to laugh at him. He didn’t know any cuss words.
My mother would tell him that her older brother Bill knew how to cuss.
If my mother had been like a respectable conservative and shown the proper horror at my father’s evil words he would not have been upset. But she laughed at him. That got to him.
So while everybody else is upset at the toilet language on cable, I consider it pitiful. I laugh at it.
Now which do you think would really get to those who use pointless obscenity, the average respectable conservative’s horror and shock or my laughing in their faces?
Jews and Anti-Semites Have a Common Interest
One thing I have noticed about Stormfront’s special guests is that, outside of me, they have all discussed the following subjects:
1) Jews;
2) Jews;
3) Jews;
4) Jews and;
5) Jews;
in that order.
There are three synagogues within two miles of where I am sitting. By a stupendous coincidence, every one of those synagogues has exactly the same five priorities in exactly the same order.
If you are obsessed with Jews, you must be obsessed with the idea that Jews EXIST.
They don’t.
All the evidence I see indicates that Jews are a group of people who, down through the centuries, changed steadily. In every generation a lot of people people joined the Jews and a lot of people people left the Jews. We know about the Khazars and the Bohemians who converted to Judaism, but we have not heard of the others.
I have read about “Jewish converts” who fought the Apostles in the Bible all my life, though I am informed that in other translations that term has been changed.
It is critical to Jews, Christian myths, and anti-Semites that those converts never existed.
During Europe’s religious wars, the only way to travel from a Protestant to a Catholic country without molestation was to be a Jew. Only a Jew could charge interest. No historian is ever allowed to mention these ADVANTAGES of being a Jew. It was all Suffering, you see.
In Rome, too, only “Jews” were allowed to do something anyone else was prosecuted for. Jews, and Jews only, were exempted from the requirement to worship the Roman Emperor as a god.
First of all, a tiny group in Judea could probably never have gotten an exemption like that. Secondly, if a particular group is given a specific exemption from the law, the Roman authorities knew who those people were.
And counted them.
The Romans kept careful count. If you doubt it, please note where Mary and Joseph were headed when Jesus was born, and WHY. The Romans knew that an obscure carpenter in Nazareth owed them money, and they knew where he lived.
I think they knew how many people were exempted from the law that required that the Emperor be worshipped, and who they were.
The Encyclopedia Judaica says there were seven, I remembered six, million Jews in the Roman Empire.
A lot of sources don’t like that. I’m not surprised.
Who cares exactly how many millions of Jews there were? The point is that this whole story about the Jews being in Israel until some mythical Diaspora is nonsense.
Since the whole culture of millions of Hellenized Jews simply disappeared from history, it is likely that they became the Christian Church.
History goes blank about the real history of Christianity before Rome outlawed all other faiths, and I believe that anything that Christians did not want to be true was treated the way they always treated any literature they didn’t like: It was burned and anyone caught with a copy was executed.
Someone wrote me that there couldn’t have been all those Jews in Rome because there is no record of their slaughter.
I sure hope he was joking.
Jews exist as a people in exactly the same way that the Freemasons exist as a people.
To me, the term “Jews” refers 1) to those who were so hostile to the Christian or Moslem society in which they lived that they chose to become Jews; and 2) in each generation, Jews were encouraged to join in the faith of the majority, and most eventually did. So what is left is the hard core.
I keep referring to Kissinger’s comment:
“Any peole that has been persecuted for two thousands years is doing something wrong.”
Actually, they probably weren’t all that persecuted. My Odinist ancestors were burned alive by the Christians on a regular basis. Now THAT is persecution.
This is all just logic and arithmetic. I can’t prove it, and the professional Christians can’t prove their story. They used suppression instead of truth, and now that they don’t have the power to suppress, they really get nasty about any disagreement.
Anti-Semites can get nasty on the same subject.
The real world is a place of probabilities. I consider the accepted theory about Jews as highly improbable. But a lot of people have built their whole worldview around the old picture of single group of pure Jews stretching right back to the Diaspora, and they will fight for that nonsense to the very end.
Christians base their worldview on the idea that a few Apostles converted a world of pagans to their faith. Meanwhile, the whole Hellenic Jewish culture just vanished. It seems more probable that those millions of Jews accepted Christianity than that they just vanished or were all executed.
I think that’s true, but unlike all the others, I have no vested interest in this truth.
Just How Right Was Fritz?
Hollings is leaving office because he betrayed his electorate to get national status as a liberal candidate for president. Now he bitterly regrets it.
So his anger showed when he made a statement that was perfectly true. He said that, compared to Israel, nothing else in American foreign politics makes any difference, least of all American interests.
Everybody in professional politics knows that. That is precisely why no one is allowed to say it.
Liberals have been trying desperately to say that the War in Iraq is just a a War for Oil. But every now and then liberals slip up and tell the truth. It gets them into DEEP trouble, and every conservative who wants to be respectable screams bloody murder when he does.
No, the Iraq War is not for oil. That would be in America’s interest. The last group of Americans who fought a war in America’s interst wore gray uniforms, and that war wasn’t necessary.
We can get all the oil we need from outside the Middle East. Britain, the only European country that joined in this War for Oil, is also the only European country that has its own independent oil supply.
But there is no other excuse for America’s presence in the Middle East except oil. So we must say “oil, oil, oil” because otherwise we will be saying what every Arab leader tells us: the Middle East hates us because we are there for Israel.
Historian Wanted. Idiocy Required
If you want to be a professional historian, there are two rigid requirements. You must be UNABLE to:
1) Think; and
2) Count.
To give one of many examples of Requirement 1, you must accept the idea that the people in Northern Europe did not know how to read and write before the Romans taught them to write.
There are, of course, many runic inscriptions on stone in Northern Europe, but historians agree that that is the only writing that was done in Northern Europe.
If you THOUGHT about it, it would seem a little strange that people could write highly complex statements on rock but nowhere else. Where did they LEARN to write? There are no Primers etched in Northern European stones.
Obviously only a true retard would accept that idea.
So much for Requirement 1.
As for Requirement 2, the entire theory on which Israel is based (on which the official Christian doctrine of the Diaspora is based) collapses instantly if you face the fact that there were six million Jews in the Roman Empire.
Nobody who can count can make a living as a historian or as a theologian.
Here is another reason why a person who can count cannot be a professional historian: anybody who has the slightest acquaintance with the American Revolution has heard every discussion of it breathlessly repeat Sam Adams’s numbers:
One in three Americans was for the Revolution, one in three was neutral, and one in three was a Tory.
There were thirteen colonies. If the average was that one in three was a Tory, then some states would have a solid majoirity of Tories and some would have more Revolutionaries.
But by 1776, every single one of the thirteen colonies had tossed out their Royal Governors. If Adams’s numbers had been correct, at least six of the thirteen would have kept their Royal Governors.
Then there is the simple fact that that split is far too convenient. Exactly a third for one side, exactly a third for the other side, and exactly a third neutral?
Don’t be ridiculous!
Unless you want to be a historian and get paid for it.
We Don’t Stand for That
Posted by Bob in How Things Work, Law and Order on 11/12/2004
Now there is a phrase I haven’t heard in years:
“We don’t stand for that!”
AOL has a feature about a girl who was grabbed on the street, screaming, and not one of the many, many passers-by even called 911, much less interfered.
They didn’t want to get involved. And for good reason. If you are street-wise and don’t interfere, you can’t get sued. You can’t get in trouble for using excessive violence.
I’ve used excessive violence.
But if you know how to exploit that, you don’t end up with a record. I tell the cops: “OK, this is one hell of a chance for me to write a press release. Let’s GO for it!”
First of all, your average cop is a decent human being. He thinks that the fact that you beat the hell out of somebody chasing some helpless person is great.
He just can’t do it.
Trial Lawyers, you know.
So the girl, prostitute, drug addict, whatever, runs and the average Street-Wise Citizen ignores her.
I will beat the hell out of her attacker. I’ve done it.
Maybe I am the last person on earth to say, “I won’t stand for it.”
What an honor!
How Catholics and Calvinists Learn to Hate the White Race
I am NOT picking on Catholics and Calvinists. The reason I discuss these two faiths is because they represent the two poles of the Christian faith. If you know your theology you will realize that almost every Christian denomination is some sort of combination of Catholicism and Calvinism.
Calvinism is almost entirely white. Calvinism is based on self-hatred. This hatred soon goes from self-torture to a conviction that RACIAL self-destruction is good.
Catholicism learns to demand the end of the white race by the Wordist route. Let me give you an example.
Brazil brags about the fact that it is a race-mixer society. Brazil is also a political and economic catastrophe, but all brown countries are political and economic catastrophes. The thing that is unique about Brazil is that it BRAGS about making itself brown.
Brazilians are convinced that their mania for race-mixing is based on tolerance. Actually it is based on bigotry.
In the early days of Brazil, the Inquisition was in absolute control. When a ship landed in Rio de Janiero Jesuit or Dominican priests got on board and examined every person on the ship about his Catholic doctrine before that person was allowed to set foot on shore.
It didn’t matter if you were white, black, brown or purple. The only thing that mattered was that you knew how to repeat the WORDS of the Catholic catechism. Brazil didn’t care about race or any other loyalty. Words were everything.
Brazil was based on the Catholic version of Wordism.
A true, dedicated, catechismed Wordist genuinely does not care about race.
Or about mercy or reality or common decency.
A true Wordist has no prejudices. A true Wordist has no loyalties.
A true Wordist is what our media call an Idealist. Wordists are supposed to make you feel good.
Wordists scare the hell out of me.
A Poll No One Will Ever Take
A baseball pro named Whitaker (with one “t” just like mine) is almost certainly a good liberal Democrat. Why? Because he’s black.
Not everybody named Whitaker is white. Everybody knows that. Any pollster who did a poll to find out how Whitakers voted without breaking them down by race would be considered an idiot.
Any pollster who bunched all the Anglo-Saxon names together in a poll without making any racial distinction would be considered an idiot.
Now let’s look at the vote everybody calls Hispanic. People keep saying there are “cultural differences” between Hispanics. A Garcia from Honduras has a different “culture” than a Hispanic from Mexico.
Actually, that makes little political difference. A colored man from Mexico votes liberal Democratic, just as a colored man from Guatamala does.
What is needed is a poll of “Hispanics” based on the color of the skin.
“Culture” makes little difference in politics. Race makes ALL the difference in politics. The earlier, whiter Cubans who came to America are solid Republican. The darker ones (the ones who came later) have, to use the standard euphemism, “returned to more traditional Hispanic voting patterns.”
Translation: They’re colored, so they’re anti-white.
Simplisitic? This simple statement is a lot less “simplistic” than assuming that everybody named Garcia falls into the same group.
Has Anybody Ever Heard of Refugees Running AWAY From Americans?
Somebody is going to accuse me of being FOR the Vietnam War for this, but here goes.
The media always shows hordes of refugees in Vietnam and blames them on Americans. But I have never heard of any refugees who moved AWAY from United States troops since the Civil War.
I have never heard of refugees going AWAY from Americans. In Vietnam those hordes of refugees were always moving BEHIND American lines. In Korea the same was true.
The biggest picture of this media blindness was when the Iraq War began. A huge number of reporters sat on the northern border of Iraq while Americans troops moved into the south.
The media had always heard there were huge numbers of refugees when a war started, and that Americans were devils. It had never occurred to them that refugees don’t move away from Americans.
It’s never occurred to anybody but me.
So all those reporters sat there on the northern border of Iraq, waiting for the refugees, for critical days at the beginning of the war. No refugees came.
The media has forgotten this little incident. I talked about it at the time on WOL, but nobody noticed. It cost the media one hell of a lot of money.
And they didn’t learn a damn thing from it.
Please READ Before You Comment!
It was inevitable. One person read that because I wanted to save American soldiers’ lives by cutting off the water at Fallujah it meant I was for the Iraq War.
Just how many times have I said this was Israel’s War? It doesn’t matter.
At least ninety percent of the comments here are anti-war. It doesn’t matter.
If you don’t READ what I say, you are going to make a fool of yourself.
Sometimes You Gotta Laugh
Posted by Bob in How Things Work on 11/10/2004
One of my best friends and supporters wanted to be sure I got it right. So when I wrote the article below, “Cut Off the Water” and finished it with regard to Fallujah stating, “the water is running just fine,” he corrected me.
I appreciated his concern with my being right, very much.
He cited an article that said that, once the attack actually began, American troops cut off the electricity.
As a result the residents of Fallujah were complaining that they had no running water.
Does anybody but me get the humor here?
For days every news service on earth has known that Fallujah was about to become a combat zone. Historically if an area is about to become a combat zone, you get the hell out. But a lot of folks just stayed there.
Now it IS a combat zone.
And the big complaint people in this combat zone have is that their TV won’t work and their running water is off.
Poor babies!
A Cosmic Laugh
Posted by Bob in Musings about Life on 11/9/2004
God made man in His own image.
That means God has a sense of humor.
So a guy shows up at the Pearly Gates. This guy has preached all his life that God created hundreds of billions of people specifically so they could spend eternity in the agonies of Hell.
Naturally, this guy thinks he is an exception, so he thinks it’s all just fine.
He says it all may SOUND unfair, but the damnation of men, women and babies “glorifies” God. He says,
“We all deserve Death.” By which he means that, by being born, we all deserve eternal and unimaginable agony.
Including him. But he gets a pass because he knows that.
He says this is OK because God is so great that He doesn’t have to show us the slightest mercy or justice. He says only a tiny group of people, including him, will get a break.
So there he stands, at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter starts laughing.
Peter says, “You said you deserve Hell, so you’re going to Hell.”
“But,” this Great Theologian says, “I read the Word! I don’t DESERVE Hell”
Peter replies, “That’s what’s so funny. Hell is an awful place. The only people who deserve to be there are the people who think it’s just.”
“But,” screams the Great Theologian as he watches the Pit open below him, “That’s not FAIR!”
The last thing he ever hears besides his own screams is St. Peter saying, “Who are YOU to ask God to be just? He is too great for you ask such a thing, REMEMBER?
“God knew that a few people like you would decide, in cold blood, that all his fellow men deserved eternal agony. YOU deserve Hell, so down you go.
“You see, God didn’t create the rest of humanity to go to Hell for his own glory. He’s got plenty of glory.
“God is decent to the humans He created. But He knew a few like you would think Hell was just fine for everybody else. So you are getting history’s biggest hotfoot.”
And the last words the Great Theologian ever heard besides his own screams were these:
“God didn’t create everybody else to be damned for His glory. God created humans just so a few sadistic nuts like you would come along. He doesn’t need glory.
“But He can use a good laugh.”
Indians and Buffalos
Before the white man brought the horse to America, more Indians were killed by buffalos than buffalos were killed by Indians.
That Noble Native American you see on television had nothing to do with real pre-white America. They lived on corn and, like the Peruvians today, were horribly sick from worms and malnutrition. Their teeth fell out, they had all the horrible diseases like pelagra that malnutrition brings.
Those were the Great Native American Civilizations and the wildly sophisticated Mound People.
Once Indians got horses, they started slaughtering buffalo, cutting off only the hump for meat. You know, that thing that only the Evil White Man did.
If Indians killed a LOT of buffalo, they would just eat the humps. If they killed only a few, they ate every bit of the buffalo. So historians decided that Indians used every bit of Beloved Brother Buffalo, while whites were callous and cruel and killed them for fun.
Indians had nothing else, so used all of the buffalo for their needs. Political Correctness has declared this True Morality.
Professional historians are not just “mistaken.” They are silly asses.

Jimbo Makes Excellent Points

“Bob,
“1. When you get on religion, you start acting like a liberal in that you set up a strawman and then knock him down. That is easy to do, but beneath someone of your intelligence.
The points you try to make about these things don’t require a dismissal of the O.T. Christ condemned the hypocrisy of the religious leaders of his day whose job who made the laws of God “of none effect” by their doubletalk and blind “traditions”. He didn’t just quote the O.T. because that was what was around him, but showed how he fulfilled the prophecies contained in it. The pharisees knew who he was, which was why they killed him.
“Most of our preachers today have twisted the O.T. and NT to fit in with the zeitgeist of equality and other leftist poison, many probably unaware of how far off they have gotten. Zionism and Bush worship are cases in point.
Race-mixing is clearly condemned in the O.T., in no uncertain terms, yet most of the churches preach the opposite. Dueteronomy Ch. 28 outlines the judgement to befall those who turn from God’s laws, and describes our situation in America to a T.
“The NT and O.T. are seminal to our entire civilization, and deeply shaped the Southern heart and mind.
As CS Lewis once wrote about people who dismissed the Bible as silly nonsense, people who don’t understand books written for adults shouldn’t talk about them in public.
“Your readers expect a higher level from you, Bob, consistent with many of your other insights.
Comment by Jimbo — 11/23/2004 @ 1:54 am ”
Jimbo,
These are excellent points. I know I am a bumbling amateur when it comes to religion. I was not called to preach.
I would be very happy if people would stop preaching at me so I could get off it.
But no one gets the least bit upset when Sean Hannity blandly announced that Jesus died on the cross for interracial dating.
If CS Lewis said that only adults should deal in religion, he is contradicting some else who said that “of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.” So I doubt seriously that is what Lewis meant.
To me the Old Testament is NOT religion. My ancestors who were burned alive for being Odinists had a theology which CS Lewis described as far more beautiful than the Old Testament. He said the Greek mythology came in second the O.T. third.
The Avesta of the Magi who accepted Christ was at least equal theologically to the Old Testament. And they accepted Christ without a word of the Old Testament.
All of these are fine mythologies to know about. We have the one that wasn’t burned, the Old Testament. The fact that it was not burned does not make it especially holy.
I have the same fondness for the Old Testament that any country Bible Belter has. But there is nothing about it that is religion to me.
As CS Lewis said, Christianity is based on two things: the salvation through Christ and the Resurrection.
Then CS Lewis gave all the other religions a role in salvation, which strikes me as absurd. He said that somehow they all meet the criterion of salvation through Christ, though he didn’t know exactly how.
Huh?
Then Richard says that is true of Jews only. Only they get a special pass when they accept Christ after death.
Right, Richard?
Huh?
I’ll give Jerry Falwell this: he says Jews are damned.
But he says the modern state of Israel is holy.
Huh?
And all these people preach at ME.
Let me repeat: I revere the Old Testament, the incomplete Old Testament in the King James Version, as part of my Tradition. Its JHWH or Jehovah has little relation to the Father of whom Jesus spoke. The latter part of the Old Testament that Jesus was familiar with was written in Greek, but Luther was ignorant of that, so he only accepted the older version that was written in Hebrew.
To Luther, Holy = in Hebrew.
That is not religion.
I am not a theologian, but I do know a LOT about history. And, unlike a professional theologian, my livelihood does not depend on rewriting history.
Unlike the theologian, there is nothing holy about my history. If I’m wrong, I’m wrong, and I won’t go to pieces if everything I say is absurd.
I have faith the size of mustard seed. That faith is in 1) the Resurrection and 2) Salvation through, and ONLY through, Christ.
Your Old Testament may be the Avesta or Odinism or any other. You should REVERE it. But it is not religion.
Please look at the “Huh?” comments above. There are no self-contradictory statements in my simplistic, childish Christianity.
There are only two theological points in my entire religion, a child could understand them, and I state those as MY beliefs. I am not dictating YOUR beliefs.
But when Sean Hannity tells me that if I am a Christian I have no right to object to interracial dating, my reaction is not friendly. When Jerry Falwell tells me I must be willing to die for the state of Israel, my reaction is not friendly.
These are NOT theological points. These are POLITICAL points. And my business IS politics.
It will not do to keep insisting that Communism hasn’t worked because all twenty or thirty Communist states “misinterpreted” True Communism.
It will not do to keep saying that the only reason Lewis and Hannity and Falwell get absurd is because they “misinterpret” the Old Testament.
Every time someone takes Karl Marx for truth, he ends up committing crimes in Marx’s name. When people equate the Old Testament with religion, they start burning people alive or worshiping Israel or demanding interracial dating or making other nutcase statements that are, to me, pure blasphemy.
Worship as you choose. But do not quote the Old Testament to me AS RELIGION.
That is ALL I ask.
