Our media have very carefully forgotten the sudden collapse of the entire Soviet Empire.

As Pat Buchanan hinted, and then stopped saying, that collapse foreshadowed the sudden end of the pretense we live under.

Let me take you back to those days.

Gorbaczev announced Glasnos, which meant that if a Russian said anything critical of the system, he would be arrested. In Europe, our system rests on the same basis. In America if you say anything that violates Political Correctness you are ruined.

Fittingly enough, the Soviet system was a Potemkin village, where the facade had nothing behind it. To look behind it got you sent to Siberia. Our system is exactly the same.

As soon as the Soviet system began to fail, I said the Republics, Estonia, Ukrain and all the rest, would pull out. Here’s something I remember that NOBODY else does:

For about two months, while Estonia and the rest began to get secession movements, the American media ALL made fun of them. They showed cartoons with Estonians and the rest in Confederate uniforms singing Dixie.

You will never see ANY of those cartoons reproduced ANYWHERE.

Now here is the point that matters to us:

No matter how revolutionary they were, all the Soviets, like all our sovietologists, BOUGHT that Potemkin village. When the whole Empire disappeared, they were caught totally off guard. They had nothing to offer.

For all you boys and girls who think you are Frightening Revolutionaries, let me explain to you that this is where revolutions come from. Moussilini almost missed the March on Rome in which he took power. He had said in one of his routine speeches that he wanted to lead a march on Rome and take power.

What Il Duce did not realize was that things in Rome had been reduced to such a hopeless state that people were ready to take him up on it.

After the fall of the Czar, Lenin sat in the Supreme Soviet, the working class’s revolutionary alternative to the Dumas. Everything had fallen apart. Then came a dramatic moment. The head of the Supreme Soviet announced why they were holding talks with the more moderate Duma. He said

“After all, is htere a party here that would be ready to assume power at this moment?”

Alone among all the revolutionaries there, Lenin stood and said, “There IS such a party!”

No, boys and girls, just bitching about the Czar or the mess in Rome or Washington or the Jews won’t do it.

When I talk about what we SHOULD do it puts the revolutionary hobbyists to sleep.

After the Fall, they will be helpless.

Since Bob’s Blog has now been Yahooed out of existence, I am more resolved to change our

name.

The intro page at whitakeronline will have a new introduction. I am still working on it.

You will no longer be referred to as “commenters” or any of the other colorful names I call

you. So I need you commenters to COMMENT.

Each word in Underground Graduate Seminar has speacial meaning.

UNDERGROUND:

As I said, in the 1960s the word “underground” was used to death. Everything the Hippie New

Left did was called “Underground.” They would start slick backed magazines they called

“underground” which would get immediate media coverage. Abbie Hoffmann wrote a best-seller called

“Steal This Book” that made him a fortune because, with his endless media coverage, people

paid for it.

Every “Underground” movement on the the New Left got gigantic amounts of publicity. It was

as underground as the Moon Landing.

As I will point out in the intro, we ARE underground. We HAVE to be anonymous, because everybody knows that if they could find us, they would ruin us. THAT is underground.

GRADUATE:

The term graduate normally means that you have paid tuition for four years and listened to

Mommy Professor drone on, and you have vomited what Mommy Professor says back on exams and

forgotten it. All you HAVE to remember is the relgious training you received in our

established religion of Political Correctness.

We are true heretics. In order to be a graduate, you have to be someone who has outgrown a

college education, whether you had one or not.

SEMINAR:

The modern college graduate has no idea what a seminar is.

In fact, a professor who could conduct an old-fashioned seminar would not be allowed to be a

professor. In a university today, you are suppposed to find material that backs up the

professor’s Politically Correct doctrines and wow everybody with what an Original Thinker you

are.

You prove to your professor that you are into Constructive Dialogue, not heresy.

Of course nobody uses the word “heresy” any more. Communist countries banned disagreement by

labeling it “fascism.”

Today heresy is called “racism.”

But a seminar MEANS heresy in the modern sense of that word. You have to do your own

thinking and come up with something YOU thought of, not just dig into the relgious

literature of Political Correctness and come up with quotes Mommy Professor will be proud

of.
