Someone was writing me about how what I said condemned their beliefs.
A lot of what I have said contradicted MY beliefs.
The idea here is to make you THINK, not to make you think like me.
It just occurred to me that I would be absolutely appalled if someone declared that he was now a Whitakerist, and expected me to give him all the right answers.
Forget all my books and speeches and other writing and even this blog. The main page of Whitakeronline.ORG has been running now for almost seven years. The archives are now probably half a million words long. It is bigger than the Koran or the New Testament and is rapidly catching up on the Old Testament.
I am even less nice to myself than I am to others. Reading over some stuff I wrote, I say, “I cannot believe that a reasonably intelligent person wrote that.”
I also think other things that I can’t repeat here. But that is what I was thinking that week. Reading over my old writings is a great cure for any notion that I am infallible.
A lot of times someone will say to me, very apologetically, “I don’t agree with everything you say.”
That makes me a little dizzy. What kind of idiot does he think I am? What delusions of grandeur does he think I have?
I don’t like it when somebody says, “I don’t agree with everything you say.” It’s like saying, “I don’t agree with you that you are the Prophet Mohammed.”
I never said I was.

When Jesus walked on this earth, He was constantly asked, “What good are you as a Messiah if you are not here to save Israel from the Romans?”
Jesus, replied, “My kingdom is not of this earth.”
Today Christians are back to saying that Christianity means nothing if it does not save The State of Israel from its enemies.
When Jesus walked the earth, people asked Him about the poor. He “The poor we have always with us,” and wanted them to worry about the salvation of their souls.
Now the churches have started a joint project aimed, not at saving souls, but at helping the poor. They tell us, “That is what Christ was all about.”
By a strange coincidence, it is also Politically Correct and good public relations.
What good is the Bible, we are asked, if it does not answer every question that comes on Planet Earth?
Saving souls is nice, but we got REAL problems.
So every Sunday every preacher shows you how the Bible will take care of your personal problems, your family problems, your financial problems, your health, your looks, being likeable, everything on THIS earth.
Which is precisely what Jesus did NOT say.
We are back to the philosophy of those who crucified Jesus.
We have come full circle.

Some Amish are being accused of child molestation.
This did not get reported earlier because the Amish were looked upon as angels.
The same thing happened to Catholics priests and bishops. Boy-rape (not “child” molestation) took decades to expose because Catholic priests were looked upon as angels.
When the boy rapes by priests and the bishops’ perpetuating it became public, all Catholic priests became suspect. If you make someone an angel, you are going to make them devils eventually. They are never just humans who have some bad apples.
Jews have the same problem. Since Nazi Germany, Jews have been treated as angels.
Alan Dershowitz is openly dedicated to two things:
1) Whites must be wiped out by interracial marriage, and
2) Jews must be preserved by avoiding interfaith marriages.
This is a common Jewish attitude, but nobody DARES say it is wild hypocrisy. If Jews are openly hypocritical, nobody can say so.
Why? Because since Hitler, who made all Jews devils, Jews have been looked upon as angels.
To Modern Thought, Jews cannot be mere human beings. They must be angels or devils.
Nazis and Modern Thought agree:
Jews are not human.
The Longest Journey

The longest journey in the Bible is not the forty years it took Moses to lead his people to the Promised Land. A longer trip took place DURING that journey.
Think about it. Moses had gone to the mountain and spent time with God. God had written the Ten Commandments and entrusted them to Moses. When Moses arrived to see his people worshiping a Golden Calf, Moses was so angry that he dashed the precious stone tablets to the ground.
Then he had to go back up the mountain and tell Jehovah what he had done.
If you have ever waited to get chewed out by your boss, you will realize that the longest trip in the Bible was the one Moses took back up that mountain.
He played it over and over in his mind:
GOD: “Did you give the Commandments to your people.”
MOSES: “No. I smashed them all to bits. Could I please have a copy?”
When Moses arrived, Jehovah already knew what had happened.
I think God has a sense of humor. He invented it.
So when Moses said, “You know those Ten Commandments you gave me? I broke them.”
Jehovah replied, “You broke ALL of them?”
“Yes.”
You broke all of them AT ONE TIME?”
“Yes.”
“Moses, you don’t do things half way, do you?”

Joey, when Bill Rusher mentioned in one of his books that I had come up with the idea that Federal courts are always the last bastion of yesterday’s power, I was astonished.
Nobody EVER mentions that they got their ideas from me. That’s my whole game.
I was lecturing Pat and the group he associates with the idea of judicial dictatorship long, long ago, and it slowly seeped in. In my 1982 book I talked about judicial decrees, and I said, as I had been saying long before then, that:
“A system where one man’s opinion is law has a name, and it is NOT democracy.”
I was telling Pat and those he knew about genocide against the white race before I wrote it down in a 1976 book.
A quarter of a century later, Pat wrote “Death of the West.”
Try to understand that this is what my life is ABOUT.
I have enormous power precisely because I concentrate on planting ideas. It is hard work. I push and I push and I finally get someone who has no idea where they came from to get to them when it is time. While they were concentrating on “getting the Negro vote” forty years ago, I was planting and pushing ideas that bore fruit when they became useful to SOMEBODY, I don’t care whom, a decade or two later.
This is POWER.
I have changed the world and I will be changing it long after I die.
Joey said,
“I heard Pat Buchanan mention the judicial dictatorship when referring to the Supreme Court. The liberal on the panel looked angry to say the least. As far as I know, Buchanan has never used this term before.
Interesting to know that Pat listens to Bob. Will you speak about this and other examples of others using your thoughts as their own?”

Guest Worker Programs NEVER Work
Communist North Vietnam’s Boy in DC
McCain to the Rescue!
Fun Quote:
Moderation in all things is an extreme position.
.
Guest Worker Programs NEVER Work
I was working on a brick plant in Germany in 1959. There was a huge worker shortage in the booming German economy, so they decided to start the original “guest worker” program. The idea was that they would allow workers from “poor” countries to come in and work until the post-war boom ended, then send them home.
As soon as GERMAN workers started to be unemployed, they would just send the guest workers (Gastarbeiter) home.
I was eighteen years old. I told them, “Once they get here, you’ll NEVER get rid of them.” I was told I was too young to understand the subtleties of the brilliant European Mind. I was a provincial racist from the South.
And so on and so forth.
That was back when I was also saying that after schools were integrated whites would drop to the level of blacks. Drug addiction and illegitimacy, largely black problems at the time, would skyrocket among whites.
I said school standards would collapse.
I said schools would become violent.
I was told I was a provincial racist. I did not understand the subtle brilliance of the Academic Mind.
Germany never got rid of its guest workers. White drug addiction is as high as black rates were in 1954, and black rates are now even worse. School standards have collapsed. Schools now routinely have to run weapons checks.
So Bill O’Reilly and all the conservatives agree that what is needed in America to take care of Mexican immigration is a Guest Worker Plan.
-. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -.
Communist North Vietnam’s Boy in DC
So who is taking the lead on a guest worker program?
John McCain, of course.
John McCain has the silver star for bravery as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.
In order to get the silver star you have to be seen performing a heroic deed by a superior officer. McCain, according to John McCain, resisted torture by the North Vietnamese.
Well, sort of. He has said repeatedly and publically that in other wars one could resist and survive, but in North Vietnam he knew some who resisted that way and they are all dead. So he admits he gave information.
So they gave him a silver star for being a prisoner of war. No one saw his “bravery” when the Communists questioned him. His open admission that he gave information is a good defense preparation if his file ever emerges from the Vietnamese Communists.
He told US News and World Report (I looked it up) that his first words to the Communists when he was captured were, “I am injured. You give me medicine and I’ll give you information.”
Move over, Jane Fonda.
To repeat, the Vietnamese are the only ones who have access to McCain’s interrogation file. No American has ever seen it. But McCain was the son of an admiral, so they gave him a silver star.
It so happens that John McCain is the best friend Communist Vietnam has in congress. Even far left liberals don’t bow and scrape to them the way McCain does. He has helped block all attempts to find missing Vietnam POW’s. The families of missing Americans in Vietnam hate him.
This is very relevant, because John McCain is doing the same thing for the left today that he did when was a POW in Vietnam.
-. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -.
McCain to the Rescue!
In Vietnam John McCain wore the American uniform and he admits he helped the Viet Cong. He is invaluable to Communist Vietnam today. If a liberal says he thinks all the POWs are accounted for, no one believes him. But when John McCain, the ex-POW and Official Hero, says that North Vietnam has done all they can do to locate missing POWs, everybody agrees.
If John McCain loves North Vietnam and wants to leave “all that” behind him, people listen. He is a Hero. He has Suffered and Forgiven.
So when liberals realize they can’t get hard gun control yet, they get McCain to lead a charge to get whatever gun control they CAN get. When the Senate gets ready to get rid of the filibuster on a presidential appointment, McCain heads up a group of senators to save them.
On the guest worker program, McCain is in there getting everything he can for open border liberals.
This is how it works. On one side there are those few sane people who want to simply enforce our immigration laws. On the other side there are those who want a huge amnesty program which will begin with the cover-name “guest workers.” The middle of the road would be between these two groups.
In steps McCain, who offers a “conservative” guest workers’ program. His has become the conservative, the right-wing position. So the middle of the road is between McCain, who wants a guest worker program that will soon be total amnesty for all illegal invaders, and those who want completely open borders.
McCain is the best thing that ever happened to the left. He carries more of their water than any five liberal senators ever could.
In America, McCain is far more useful to the left as a “conservative” senator than any five liberal senators could ever be.
5/28/05 Insider Letter

Filed Under Insider Letter Archive | 1 Comment »
(Reprinted to Blog from email list of 5/28/05)
*** Bob’s Insider’s Message ***
My team leader told me to write an Insider Letter on my topic for this week’s Saturday Internet broadcast at
“But, Bob, this is WhitakerOnline.ORG. Surely WHITAKER gives orders to everybody else!”
No way.
When I was on Capitol Hill I would write a speech for one of the congressmen I worked for. My highly-paid secretary would type it up, but she would not let me TOUCH the original. She made me wait until she had made copies and she would trust me with one of the copies.
Like her, my team boss is responsible for giving ME orders. I can overrule him, but I very seldom do. I do what I do, and I assigned him the responsibility for making it work. He takes the responsibility, so he must have the authority.
When I was in Washington, I fired people. If you have ever done that, you know how hard it is. But when I “delegated,” I did more than that. I said,
“I don’t delegate, I DUMP.”
I had a reputation for not hesitating to fire people. But at least two people offered to take PAY CUTS to work for me. Why? Because they were the kind of people who longed to have a boss who would give them an assignment, take the heat for any mistake they made, and let them alone to do the job.
My motto was, “I will take responsibility for any mistake you make, but I will NOT take responsibility for your NOT doing it.”
Good people LOVE that. Good people go nuts over that opportunity.
Did I mention they offered to take pay CUTS?
As to what my show will be about, I plan to talk some about the New Orleans Conference I spoke at. It was sponsored by Stormfront, headed by David Duke and run by James Kelso, who does the nitty-gritty running of Stormfront.
But my main topic will be Wordism and its first cousin, classism. These are both strategies used against the survival of our race.
A country can be organized on the lines of race and kinship, as the United States was. Or it can be based on loyalty to someone’s version of a Holy Book, as Islam is. It makes no difference what The Book is that the person is giving his version of. It can be an obedient little brown Moslem country or an obedient little brown Latin American country whose only uniting principle is the Catholic Church or, in recent years, an Evangelical Church.
The least-known fact of modern history is how serious evangelicals have replaced tired old Catholic hierarchies in running South America.
But Moslem, evangelical, Catholic or Moslem, the basis of Wordism is the tyranny of the Word, somebody’s version of The Final Truth. Anyone who disagrees with this Final Truth is a traitor. In a Wordist society, there can be no freedom of thought or freedom of speech.
Only a society based on kinship, on what is called “racism,” as America was, can have freedom of belief.
Everyone Who Suffers Is Not A Hero

I have written about the Jew I used to get drunk with who was in a German concentration camp as a child. He kept telling me about how Jews VOLUNTARILY turned other Jews over to the authorities. His family, he insisted, was turned over to the Nazis by Jews.
When I said those Jews were probably threatened or trying to save themselves he got furious with me. NO! He said, they just did it. It is the only time in my life that somebody got furious with me for being soft on Jews.
Jews in Nazi Germany behaved just like white gentiles in America do today. They turned on each other in exactly the same way that white gentiles are the biggest enemies of white gentiles in our present society.
I know a German guy whose father was a guard at a concentration camp at age fourteen. Lately, they nearly took away his citizenship because of that. He had told them that fifty years ago, but now the supply of old Nazis is running out so they decided to go after him.
There are people who have spent their whole careers doing nothing but chasing down old Nazis, and they’ve got to do SOMETHING.
Jews are exempt from this persecution. A fourteen-year-old German kid was blamed for not walking up to the SS, the guys with the skull and crossbones on their hats and a pistol at their sides, and telling them he would not guard their camp for them.
No Jew will ever be blamed for turning in other Jews or for not offering any resistance at all when they were rounded up. What’s the excuse for this?
Well, Jews SUFFERED, you see. Whatever they did, they were OK. No Jew who turned in my drinking buddy and his family will ever be criticized, much less prosecuted. This made him very, very angry.
I wonder why?
So when I talk about McCain, I am told that no one is allowed to criticize his cooperating with the enemy in Vietnam because he SUFFERED: “How dare you attack a man who went through all that?”
I dare because I do not believe that everybody who suffers is a hero.

The next Whitaker Online will talk about Senator John McCain and how hard he works for the political left. He is the best friend Communist Vietnam has in congress and the worst enemy our missing POWs have.
As if to confirm what I say, I just saw an ad for a movie special on the History Channel. It will be a two-hour story of what a hero McCain was in Vietnam. They don’t make movies like that about those who have fought the political left. They do that for their friends.
Promises
Posted by Bob on May 27, 2005 at 9:51 am
Filed Under How Things Work | 1 Comment »
The one thing everybody agrees on is that politicians don’t keep their promises.
They couldn’t be wronger.
Big-league politics consists ENTIRELY of promises and in the big leagues, a politician’s word to another politicians is solid gold. They don’t keep their promises to YOU.
Why should they? Politics is NOT a friendly game. It is a deadly serious battle for something much more important than money.
Power.
Money is like water. If you are dying of thirst, nothing but water matters. But if you have the money you need in power politics, it becomes a lesser consideration. Many a billionaire wishes he had power and can’t get it.
In the House or Senate, once you commit to vote for something in return for promises and you don’t come through, you’re dead meat. A Senator would far rather break his word to a billionaire than to another senator.
So why do you think he cares about keeping his word to YOU? His promises are his stock in the biggest trade there is on earth.
You, the public, have no MEMORY. You are fascinated by the latest Big Story. A pro has a memory a mile long. You break a promise in the Big Leagues and you’re on your way out.
If a man’s only capital is his promises, he doesn’t waste them on people who don’t have a knack for a memory and a grudge.
Power IS Responsibility

Filed Under Bob, How Things Work | 1 Comment »
The great rules of life, from the Golden Rule of Jesus down to supply and demand in economics, are SIMPLE, but they are NEVER easy.
One of these rules is not that power IMPLIES responsibility, but that power IS responsibility.
That is the big difference between Jesus’ “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” and Confucius’s “Do NOT do unto another what you would NOT have him do unto you.” So in the Far East, you have no obligation to help anyone or to save anyone’s life. Your only obligation is NOT to do them harm.
Jesus would have none of that. If you CAN do good, you MUST do good. Confucius’s Golden Rule is both simple AND easy. Jesus’ Golden Rule is simple and backbreakingly difficult.
I am the only person who makes this distinction. Everybody else says that the Golden Rule is the same in the Orient and in the West.
What reminded me of this was the discussion of in vitro fertilization. Pro-lifers wanted to outlaw in vitro because a number of fertilized eggs die in the process.
I have known many unfortunate, heroic women who have tried desperately to have children, though all the experts told them they could not. Again and again, an egg would be fertilized and die within a week. But they kept trying.
No theologian, least of all the pope, would discourage them from continuing to try despite the fact that many, many fertilized eggs, unborn children in their eyes, died in the process.
But when these same women turned to in vitro fertilization, they became sinners.
Why? Because in vitro takes place in a lab. That was not the way fertilized eggs had been sacrificed for the birth of children in Biblical times. The difference is the lab. A woman has the right to try to have children and lose any number of fertilized eggs in her own body. The pope would say she is OBLIGATED to do so.
But she cannot ask help from a lab.
The Amish go further and claim (falsely) that they use no technology that was not present in Biblical times.
If you are a Confucian, this is moral. If you believe in JESUS’S Golden Rule this, IN MY OPINION, is not moral. Once again, if we have the POWER to make barren women fertile, then we have the RESPONSIBILITY to make barren women fertile.
If you haven’t noticed, let me remind you that I keep using the words IN MY OPINION, IMO.
IMO is what I will face the Judgement with. I believe that God will forgive honest mistakes, just as Jesus forgave those who tortured and crucified Him, because
“THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.”
But God would NOT forgive me for going along with something so as not to offend people when IN MY OPINION it is wrong.
IN MY OPINION the Amish and those who fight in vitro are wrong. I MUST fight for in vitro.
But, if I ever do reach the right side of Jesus, I would not be surprised in the slightest to find those who SINCERELY disagreed with me right there beside me.
If I get there I expect to be right there with the uncompromising Calvinists and fanatical Catholics I worked with in politics right there with me.
The first joy I will have in Heaven will be watching the looks on their astonished faces when they see each other.

I am a wordmaster, so I write for you when you are in a good mood and when you are in a bad mood. This is NOT my general attitude. This is a JOKE.
My book team has spoiled me horribly. In my earlier life, I got used to people promising things and not delivering. But I have been dealing with my book team too long, and I had the impression that, like them, other people would promise and deliver.
I discovered that while my team is great, the rest of the world is the same old thing.
After finding that out and while I was in a lousy mood, I came up with a way to express my mood.
When you are in a lousy mood, read this over. I am probably saying what you are thinking.
Here is how you tell your real friends from mere acquaintances:
An acquaintance will be reminded of a promise they didn’t deliver on, and they will tell you, “I was busy.”
When you remind an old friend of a promise they didn’t deliver on, he will say, “I was very, VERY busy.”
If you have done someone huge favors and even saved their job, they will say, “You KNOW I would NEVER forget you. But I was very, very, VERY, VERY busy.”
I prefer dealing with my enemies.
They just tell me to go to hell.
The Law Won’t Work as Long as We Think Judges are God

The 11-year old kid who killed a girl a third his size is up for another violent crime.
The psychologists said he was just a poor, misunderstood kid and he was convicted, but soon let go.
So now he’s back up for violence again.
What a surprise!
He was a vicious bully and nut before he was 11. But when he came before the judges and psychologists, The Law was worried to death about being unfair to him.
The kid was dangerous. He was a threat to the public. But that is not The Law’s problem. The Law is not concerned with some nameless person this kid might kill or maim. The Law is concerned only with treating this kid fairly.
I do not believe in The Law. I believe that a bunch of lawyers who put on black dresses and call themselves Judges are just lawyers who put on black dresses. They are going to screw up.
If there are twenty million dollars worth of legal proceeding The Law is happy with any result. To me if that huge legal proceeding results in a nutcase being put back on the streets and someone gets killed, The Law, His Majesty Itself, has just killed an innocent person as surely as if an innocent person were executed by Its Majesty The Law Itself.
NOBODY else thinks that way.

I can’t BELIEVE it!!!
To fight embryonic stem cell research, President Bush has children produced by in vitro fertilization on. I remember when those SAME pro-lifers were trying to OUTLAW in vitro fertilization and desperately fighting to keep those SAME children from being born!
They wanted people who could not have children normally NOT to have children through in vitro. They wanted them to adopt third-world children! Now they are using those SAME children to fight for their new battle against humanity!
I remember it very well. I told my congressman that, if he wanted me to help fight in vitro, I would resign. He said he never really considered it. John Ashbrook was totally pro-life, but he would never take part in this kind of anti-life action.

V-E Day, May 8, 1945
The Churchill Clown
Heroism Cannot Trump Stupidity
Gee, Guys, What Happened?
Fun Quote:
For you martial arts fans, I would like to point out my favorite tactic when I am faced with a fight.
When faced with hand-to-hand fighting, the French have a method of hitting with their legs that is called Savate.
I use my legs too. My method is called the Sprint.
.
V-E Day, May 8, 1945
May 8, 1945 was V-E Day, the day Nazi Germany surrendered.
On April 30, 1945, Hitler committed suicide in his Berlin Bunker.
There was some question about whether the other Allies would take Berlin along with the Soviets. Stalin explained to Roosevelt that May Day, May 1st, was a big day for the Soviet Revolution, so the Soviets alone should take the German capital.
So Roosevelt gave Berlin to Stalin.
All this bothered Churchill. He was worried about the fact that Russia was being given what it had always wanted, a foothold in the very center of Europe. He was suddenly worried that, once Russia got Berlin, it would claim half of the continent.
Within five years, the Soviet Empire did indeed include half of Europe.
What Churchill did not realize was that both Roosevelt and Stalin understood that he was a has-been, a funny little out-of-date joke.
-. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -.
The Churchill Clown
It is almost impossible today for us to understand the world Churchill’s sick little mind lived in.
In 1814 Britain defeated Napoleon and reestablished its traditional policy of a Balance of Power in Europe. When Hitler came along, he threatened the Balance of Power in Europe. When Hitler conquered France in 1940, Churchill’s only concern was restoring the Balance of Power in Europe.
This is not a joke. This was Churchill’s policy.
In 1939, when both Hitler and Stalin, by agreement, invaded Poland, Britain only declared war against Hitler. Hitler was threatening the Balance of Power in Europe. To Churchill, only Germany was threatening the Balance of Power in Europe.
I hope I haven’t lost you here. I am NOT overstating this. That was REALLY Churchill’s World View.
This is NOT a joke.
So France joined Britain in declaring war ONLY against Germany. Germany proceeded, as usual, to beat the hell out of France.
Germany then said, “OK. We conquered France again. Now would you please get out of the way and let us conquer the Soviet Union as Hitler said he wanted to do in Mein Kampf?”
Churchill refused to make any peace with Germany. Churchill was still living in the days of Napoleon, when Britain stood alone against the Enemy of the Balance of Power in Europe and refused to make peace with the Corsican tyrant.
No, I am NOT joking here.
So, in 1940, Churchill sat there and kept the war going.
One day a German airplane dropped a couple of bombs which landed, specifically against orders, in a civilian area. Germany officially apologized.
This was the break Churchill was looking for. He launched a retaliatory raid against civilian targets in Berlin. That is how the London Blitz began. Germany did not like Britain attacking its civilians, so it hit back, HARD.
Edward R. Murrow, the god of American broadcasting, began his series of broadcasts by describing how mean the Germans were.
Recently the History Channel had a program entitled, “Roosevelt: He Brought Light to America By Keeping It in the Dark.” The program refers to the joint efforts of Roosevelt and other American liberals like Edward R. Murrow to get America in the war.
Germany never understood why France and Britain only declared war against them and not against Stalin, who also invaded Poland. The Germans understood even less that Churchill was chomping at the bit to join Stalin and Roosevelt in a joint destruction of Germany.
Germany never understood that Churchill had no idea that Europe’s time of total world domination had passed. Hitler saw the Soviet power and the American power, and he wanted to join with the British Empire as a European balance to those powers. He praised the British Empire in Mein Kampf. He never understood that Churchill was rooted in 1814.
He simply never understood how dumb Churchill was.
-. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -.
Heroism Cannot Trump Stupidity
Germany and the Soviet Union were buddies until June 22, 1941. That was the day Germany, which shared Poland with the USSR, attacked the USSR on the common front they shared in Poland.
So the Germans thought, “OK, now you know what we were really after all this time was the Soviet Union.”
Wrong.
Right after Germany invaded the USSR something incredible happened. Rudolf Hess, the Number Three man in the entire Nazi Government, flew straight to Britain to arrange for a peace settlement with Britain and the freeing of France so Germany could take care of Stalin.
Hess was a World War I hero as a combat pilot. This was a heroic mission that was typical of Hess.
I knew someone who served with him in World War I. He called my friend before he left. Hitler knew all about it.
The number three man in the United States Government is the Speaker of the House. Can you imagine, in the middle of a war, the Speaker of the House flying unprotected into an enemy country and trying to make peace?
That’s what happened. Germany simply could not understand that Churchill lived in 1814. Edward R. Murrow and Roosevelt said Hess was nuts. Hess spent the rest of his life in prison.
-. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -. -.
Gee, Guys, What Happened?
Back to May 8, 1945. Roosevelt gave Stalin Berlin and half of Europe.
And, gee whiz, something else happened. Stalin and Roosevelt, with Churchill invited as a formality, met at Yalta to divide up Europe.
Churchill found that his old friend and worshiper, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, completely ignored him. He was terribly upset. What happened to the praise and glory his bosom buddy FDR had given him when he was the front guy for destroying Germany?
When two great powers are dividing up a silly-ass continent that just destroyed itself, they don’t have time for a clown who is living in 1814. Churchill never figured that out.
Edward R. Murrow and the liberals gave Winnie Churchill one more shot at being a Great Prophet. After all, he had done his part for the leftist cause and he deserved a little praise.
So in 1948 Winnie said in a speech that “an Iron Curtain has fallen over Eastern Europe.” Stalin, his buddy, his ally, his Hero, had taken his half of Europe and turned it into some kind of – well let’s say it – some kind of a DICTATORSHIP!
Only a genius and a prophet could have figured THAT out!
I am NOT joking.

*** Bob’s Insider’s Message ***
I guess most of you have heard the one about the Texan and Paul Revere.
But, as I usually say when I start to tell an old joke:
“Now if you’ve heard this one before, try and stop me.”
A Texan was talking to a New Englander and going on and on about the great heroes of Texas: Davy Crockett, Sam Houston, John Travis and on and on.
The New Englander said, “You know, Texans aren’t the only ones who had heroes. We had some up east, too!”
The Texan asked, “Like who?”
“Well,” the New Englander replied, “There was Paul Revere.”
“Who?” the Texan asked. Then he suddenly remembered the name.
“Oh. You mean the guy who ran for help.”
Actually Paul Revere was the messenger of the Revolution in more ways than his somewhat overblown ride. We all know he was a silversmith, but being a silversmith required him to be an artist. Sam Adams got him to make the first famous propaganda painting of the “Boston Massacre.”
The “embattled farmers” who fought the British would not have been there if messengers had not gotten to them. Revere’s ride was not particularly dangerous when he made it, but it was an act of treason from the British point of view. He could have gotten hanged for it later, and hanging in those days was not scientific. It was an awful way to die.
In wartime, before radios, a messenger had just as good a chance of getting killed as any soldier at the front.
You who carry the message today know the risk and the cost and the effort associated with it. You also know that, like messengers of the past, you will get little credit for your efforts and risks. The general who issues the orders gets credit. The brave troops who stand at the front get credit.
But if the messenger gets caught and shot, just how often will that show up in the history books?
All I read is items like, “The general sent out four messengers, but only one made it.”
Spreading ideas is absolutely critical. But about all the credit you will ever get for it is to be the one who “didn’t make it” or “the one who made it,” no name attached.
Like the messengers in earlier days, you are not in it to get your name attached. You use my ideas because it is what you can do for the cause, and the cause cannot live without it.
That frustrating talk you have with your neighbor is as critical to this war as any heroic public statement or the open demonstrations those hundreds of private talks will eventually lead to.
The message is getting out because you are the messenger.
