Overdrive
Posted by Bob in Coaching Session on 09/15/2006
I doubt anybody really noticed that I said I spent over twenty years developing the Wallace strategy and then the Reagan strategy. Now it all looks like a natural developement.
It used to take years for my ideas to reach the publication stage, when other people took them on.
You may not have noticed that I am crowing over the fact that Ann Coulter an others are ALREADY claiming ideas I came out with just two years ago.
“Respectable,” which I was using in 1998, was bad word in conservative circles within three years.
I do wish somebody ELSE could appreciate what I am watching. It took eight years from when I deveoped the idea of Societal property and presentd it at a Public Choice Conventionw ith a Nobel Prize winner was there, before I produced the whole New Right Papers to present it to the public.
FINALLY SPR became a part of mainline thought.
It took twelve years from Wallace’s ten million votes to when the Republicans got it.
And back then, I was big stuff.
In fact, since I gave up my place as Very Important Person, I thought I had given up spreading ideas this way. Now that I am anathema, someone Buckley or Sobran or Buchanan will not even answer, I find my ideas are going out much faster.
But in 1982 I was such a big dog that when I decided to do the big book on The New Right, which elected Reagan, St. Martin’s Press JUMPED at it.
This is because of the Internet.
Look up John Huss on wikipedia (I haven’t). He led a giant religious rebellion a centur before Luther, but he lost. Luther succeeded entirely because of the printing press.
Let me repeat something else critical: I cannot take you back into history with me. But in 1982 you NEEDED credentials to be listened to. But today one out of every hundred men, women and children in America has a law degree, a Doctor of Jurisprudence. PhDs are everywhere.
The Internet came in just as everybody was ready to laugh at credentials.
Nobody BELIEVES any more. As in the USSR just before Glasnost, everybody repeats what they must repeat, but nobody believes it.
Christian believers had the inside track ten years ago, but they’ve thrown it away on Israel. The massive conversions they were making is now history. I am one of the few people who even REMEMBERS them.
In my memory, politics used to be the Democrats and liberals proposing things, and the conservatives and Republicans OPPOSING them. People voted for Republicans simply because they were NOT Democrats.
Now Democrats propose NOTHING. Today you vote Democratic because they are NOT Republicans.
Here is the part you will have difficulty understanding. Bush Republicans are STILL trying to position themselves between “extremes” that disappeared decades ago. They are desperately trying to be in the middle of a road that was bypassed long ago.
Everybody laughs at all of them. The Neoconservatives are laughed at. National Review worships them, because they say libealism was OK until 1970. So. they say, respectable conservative are NOT just plain silly. Taking liberals seriously is the intellectual way to go.
But the simple truth is that nobody takes any of this seriously except those who are making their livelihood off of it. People hate and blame Bush, but when they see the black chairmen of the new House committees if the Democrats win in 2006, they will be appalled by them, too.
Do you know anybody outside the Religious Right who identifies with either side in a POSITIVE way?
The whole system is at a dead end.
Now let’s get back to how bad Jews are and other fascinating stuff.

It frightened me the other day to hear Bush refer to the “psychological distress” of the American people. Presidents have referred to the public’s distress before, but in this context it is as ominous as anything could be.
You know that such a statement coming from the mouth of a President is a sign of political doom.
Comment by Dave
ME:
Dave, President Carter already talked about the “malaise of the American people.”
Oops! I just reminded myself that Carter is not hte President anymore, the man who hols all the Power and whose every word is critical.
I always DID get Carter mixed up with the other Democrat with the Southern accent.
When that Monika Lewinsky thing hits the papers ..
Oops! I just remembered that Vlincton isn’t president any more either.
The best bet is one of the Bushes.
I am merely jesting with you, of course.
I KNOW that every word that issues from the White House is critical in understanding the Great Conspiracies that put people at the center of power in the White House. I pay strict attention to every word that President Ford utters.

Not only did Hitler not start anything, he fell into his opportunity almost by accident. He stayed in the army after the war supposedly because his only other option was the post office. The Wehrmacht put him to work as an snitch surveilling some of the many Bolshevic groups springing up in post war Germany.
When his superior, Captain Mayr, sent him to spy on the Nazi’s, Hitler reported back that the group was irrelevant, run by a railroad mechanic, and made up of factory workers and tradesmen. They didn’t even have an official rubber stamp.
Captain Mayr reported dircectly to General Ludendorff, who decided Hitler should join this little group, prevent it from going Red, and see if he could build it up into a passable anti communist force. It’s not entirely clear when Hitler stopped working as an operative for the German army. But the fact remains that rogue elements of the old German establishment took over the party for their own purposes, in effect backing into it like a shell corporation. Only later did Hitler realize a larger vision for the group and himself.
A blueprint for the future perhaps?

I keep begging you for responses. That is because I usually work alone, and your input is a welcome relief.
Also, you commenters are the few people I find worth really listening to.
I really sit up when Antonio comes through.
I hope that makes you feel good, because I offer damned little flattery or diplomacy.
There is a secret to the German General Staff that no one discusses today. It was a bunch of famous generals based on STAFF. The Germans had no trouble understanding this.
In Britain, Ludendorf would have been been a mere “staffer” under Hindenburg. But what everybody among the military experts knew in 1914 was that each big-name member of the German General Staff was the follower of a top staffer he had appointed.
Unlike any staffer today, Ludendorf was famous in Germany. Hindenburg, like other German Generals, understood that he was a great front, but he needed a genius BEHIND him.
Normally, if someone knows he is none too bright, he appoints staff that is none too bright. For reasons I find mysterious, the German General Staff routinely appointed it brains and said so.
This shows that German generals were almost inhumanly loyal to their CAUSE rather than their egos.
In the late nineteenth century Germany had another really weird characteristic. They saw the industrial age coming. Every other country in Europe encouraged its young people to learn Latin and Greek at Oxford and Cambridge and the Sorbonne. Germany was the ONLY country that set up universities to teach chemistry and pushed its most promising young people to study SCINCE, which was look upon by the rest of Europe as a smelly business for peasants.
As to Hitler coming through because of chance, this is a bit like the German General Staff HAPPENING to hire genius. I wonder if Ludendorf didn’t have the idea that somehow, this Hitler guy was DIFFERENT. He could have sent anybody,but he had a sneaking suspicion that Hitler was a genius, too.
By the way, Ludendorf’s paper was the LAST non-Nazi publication banned in Germany by the NSDAP after it took power. Ludendorf kept raising hell with the Nazis because he said they were a bunch of WIMPS. Ludendorf said they were soft on Jews and they didn’t BAN Christianity:
“Christianity is evil because it talks about human brotherhood and, in cowardly fashion, it preaches PEACE.”

You know there are those with public educations around here, please explain this. This is the first time I’ve ever seen anyone credit the Wallace vote for taking down the soviet empire. Is it because the Wallace vote allowed Reagan to get into office?
Oh great purveyor of knowledge, enlighten me.
Comment by Sam
ME:
Sam, I remember one of dozens of times I was pushing the strategy Wallace used in 1968. It was in 1962 in Augusta, Georgia. I tried to sell it to Lester Maddox, and that’s how it got to George Wallace.
I simply cannot take you back with me into history, so you have to take these incredible facts on their face.
The Republican Party was pushing its “Negro vote” strategy. I knew tha we needed a Southern politico to go north and capture millions the votes of working ethnics (white non-WASPs) to prove how a coalition between Republican conservatives and workers in the North alienated by pro-black Democrats would work.
My field is human motivation, and I had to find a reason for a Southern politician to do this. There are LOTS of ex-governors in the South, who just go back into the general population. So, after a lot of thought, I finally found the incentive needed: the Southern governor who made himself the national spokesman for hte natural alliance of Southern and Northern working people against “civil rights” and runaway crime would be the governor of his own state as long as he wanted to.
I floated it and I floated it. Finally Wallace took it up. While everybody notices that he did not win the presidency, no one notices just how many terms he was governor.
And I got ten million REAL votes in a presidential election I could point to. It still took twelve years to get conservatives to adopt it, but I knew that, with the strategy we had developed, we could bring down the Soviet Empire with it.
No one knows that the guy who gave the Kremlin the finger on the Moscow winter on the bridge had spent over TWENTY YEARS developing the strategy, in place they had never HEARD of, slowly building the gallows that hanged the USSR.
“But, Bob, you didn’t do that YOURSELF!”
While my enemies talk about how conceited I am, I am now bringing down the next empire.
Being underestimated is a standard Southern strategy.
Mark II: What Real Revolutionaries Look Like
Posted by Bob in Coaching Session, Comment Responses, History, How Things Work on 09/15/2006
Historians, who have never had anything to do with real power, look at revolutions this way:
The whole world is headed one way, then a group of True Revolutionaries work day and night and turn it completely around.
Meanwhile, back on Planet Earth, Lenin and Hitler turned NOTHING around. They did not bring on the Russo-Japanese War or World War I or the German Depression. They were on the scene at the right time and used world crises to impose ideas that had been circulating around.
I realized that when I was a teenager. So I figured out a method to cut the process short. I have an almost unerring idea for what the next big crisis will look like. I figure out how to use those crises by formulating SALEABLE ideas and pushing them while everybody else is breathlessly telling each other about The Permanent Meat Shortage (Yes, there was one! Does anybody remember the Beefalo?).
Spreading ideas before their time is VERY hard to do, because I am circulating things that nobody has the slightest interest in at this moment. But that is exactly the secret. I know what WILL be the concept that is needed, and I formulate it and formulate it and formulate it, the way I did with Bob’s Mantra. I worked on that little thing for YEARS.
And the way my formulation comes out of my typewriter at the end looks like something everybody has already been thinking about. It is obvious and undeniable, so everybody goes back to the Giant Oil Conspiracy or the little girl who was raped by an illegal alien or how bad Jews are.
But my bomb has been planted, and the time comes, and out it pops.
The simple two words, “respectable conservatives” is beginning to get more and more conservatives to move in my direction. Pat Buchanan’s Death of the West would NEVER have appeared without my influenve, though he doesn’t know it. I plig away at something only I know I am working on to the point where I am a joke, but my point gets made.
THAT is POWER.
So what do BOB’s REVOLUIONARIES look like? They look like YOU.
Historians tell us that revolutions are started by desperate conspirators meeting inthe dead of night, living in hovels and working ninty hours a week at revolution?
No way. The REAL revolution begins with one perso having his ideas expanded on and spread by people who find them interesting. Marxism and DeGobneau’s ideas were spread by people who found them interesting, but they were also talking about the Kaiser and McKinley.
Before the crisis, revolutionary ideas are talked up by people who find them interesting. THEY ARE BELOW THE RADAR.
Canadian authorities seized my last book, but they had to make it legal becuase it was all below the radar. I am very, very, VERY good at that because I have been operating below the radar in political writing for decades. After surviving in politics for decades, Hate Laws are no challenge at all for me.
I was the only one who showed up on Fox TV. I do the radio interviews. If you knew power, you would see the importance of this. Nobody knows anything about me except that I was a Reagan appointee and everything I say is infuriatingly acceptable, because it is so true that everybody assumes they already thought of it.
That is Clinton’s Triangulation with a vengeance! And I used it when Clinton was in grammar school.
I discuss the Jewish hatred for whites in my last book, but I do it with the specific example of Franz Boas, and his strategy of Jews leading all the minorites has been talked about at length on PBS! But someone who sees Bob’s Mantra in my book and my discussion of Boas begins a trip where he begins to see the world for what it is.
If you look at National Review, you will find conservatives hiding behind Lincoln more and more. They can say they are conserving the America Lincoln built. So I use the Preamble Party. Every day Americans are more nad more frustrated that their government is not interested in THEM.
I have pushed them from their 1970s position, where even Pat Buchanan and Joe Sobran were totally pro-immigration, to a solidly “border enforcement” position. So SF is still udging its members to send in telegrams about amnesty programs. I am after the NEXT target.
I am tying things together about REAL power right here that you can find nowhere else.

Okay Bob, Enough already!!!!! Are you starting the Preamble
Part for real, and if so, how can I/we help, and what do we need
to do? Aaaaaaagggghhhh!!!!!!!!
Comment by Mark
ME:
This gives me a chance to explain how I have exercised power.
Mark, you being very flattering, but the question is somewhat ironic.
You are asking me if I am going to form a political party when I can’t even motivate my readers to copy and paste a short statement on the Internet.
It requires a past master to even SEE how I exert power. The Preamble Party is a master stroke just as it is, as an idea that will be used. But how can I explain a lifetime of experience in using this kind of thing?
Every Great Historical Leader has done nothing but carry out an idea someone else thought of.
Everybody’s heard of Hitler. Practically nobody has heard of Gobineau.
The concept that Political Correctness is a religion is laready the subject of Ann Coulter’s latest book, “The Churchof Liberalism.”
I spent many years urging the political effort that led to Wallace’s ten million votes in 1968. I spent another twelve years in turning that into the Reagan victory that took out the Soviet Empire. I was indespesable to BOTH these processes, but I worked ALONE, with the same kind of in-and-our help from a few visionaries that I have gotten here.
In 1982 I was the only person a major publisher would have do The New Right Papers. I was the one National Review had a cover article attacking as the basis of what became the winning Reagan Coalition. But I could not have done any of this if I had dedicated myself to getting people off of their preesent obsessions and do what needs doing.
Everybody sees themselves as leading the giant marches we see historians writing about. But those historians know NOTHING about real power. Power does not mean being Fuhrer. Power does not mean leading a Giant March. Power does not “come from the barrel of a gun!” as the old drunk kept screaming in New Orleans.
Power means changing the world.
I have the kind of satisfaction a rich man would have if he had gotten the Mona Lisa stolen and a successful copy put in its place in Paris, and he owned the REAL Mona Lisa himself. Only I can see the strings I have on the puppets.
I win big and I lose big, but I am the only one who can SEE the game.
Some of my opponents can see me, but very, very few, and you won’t hear about THEM. Iget a kick out of conspriracy theories, because they are so far away from where the REAL game is. Theyknow there is a game, but they have not the slightest ability to understand how it is played.
Most people catch on early to the fact that SOMEONE is manipulating things, but they look to money and guns and offices. The basic truth that power is being manipulated is easy to understand. But neither poeple in general nor the “intellectuals” have any ability to understand HOW this is done, any more than historians can understand the real history of power.
No, the Preamble Party will not get under way with people who cannot be bothered to copy and paste on the Internet. But it is an idea someone can USE. It is directly on target. You will yalk it up and it will reach someone who NEEDS it when the time comes, just as “The Church of Liberalis” and the idea that the people we are fighting are a Religion is spreading like wildfire.
While others bitch that Reagan was a fake, I was able to stand on the Moscow River bridge in December and give the Kremlin the finger, “I brought your whole goddam machine down!” That’s MY Mona Lisa.
I am going to sotp here because I have found a group of invaluable seminar people, and they don’t like long pieces.
Look at the sentence above. NOBODY can understand it but me. You see, the Band of Conspirators who Make HIstory are supposed to be those who work day and night, who sacrifice everything, to Bring On The Revolution. So how can I call YOU my revolutionaries when you won’t copy and paste and you don’t even want to read a long piece from me?
See next piece.

Well, glad to see you finally fess up about Paul Craig Roberts being the “Craig Roberts” you were referring to along with Pat Buchanan in that piece of some time ago that you wrote, Bob. I didn’t want to have to badger you about it but I did want to be sure of the person you were referring to in that piece. I like what Paul Craig Roberts is doing. I don’t see William Rusher or George Will or Cal Thomas or a whole pack of what you call “respectable conservatives” doing what Mr. Roberts is doing. It takes guts and brains to do what he is doing. If we don’t hold this unflushed toilet bowl of a country together I don’t see how in the world we can do anything else worth doing.
Comment by joe rorke
ME:
Rusher and Will and Thomas are making a very good living at what they do.
When I ask commenters to cut and paste Bob’s Mantra, I get the response that they “have lives,” they have to make a living, they have to raise their kids, and they can’t spare time for this last priority.
Yet all those same commenters are very upset that Rusher and Will and Cal Thomas and the rest of them are not risking THEIR livelihoods by getting out there and taking dangerous stands.
Pat Buchanan was the top-paid columnist in America before he got out there. Craig Roberts edited the Wall Street Journal editorial page. But they forsook on the priorities I keep getting lectured on here.
Will and the rest are doing exactly what commenters are so proud of doing: they had their living to make first. They have LIVES, you see.
