I hate sermons. In the little Methodist Church my mother made me attend every other Sunday, the clock faced the preacher so he would see when his half hour was used up. It didn’t help that back then a wool suit was the only formal attire, so I had to wear wool pants in the middle of the South Carolina summer.
As I had to explain at each conference I attended, I have spent fifty years writing speeches, giving speeches, listening to speeches, and I attend precious few and never for fun.
Within two miles of where I am sitting there are three synagogues, one of each major branch. If I wanted to hear about Jews all I would need to do is drive to one of them on Saturday. But I don’t.
When I talk to David Duke, he almost NEVER mentions Jews to me. That is because he knows that I am sick to death of the subject. But most specialists on Jews, and he certainly qualifies on that score, are neither that polite and none of the others I have met have David’s empathy.
I am an old interogator, so to me an anti-semitic lecture is much the same as a rabbinical sermon. There is something fundamentally unhealthy about a gentile building his world around Jews. But I am wrong to some extent. You see, an interrogator must not just go with his gut reaction. He has to take human motivations into account.
Being an interrogator is based on rule that are simple, but not EASY.
One of the most basic motivations of human beings, since our outstanding chraracteristic is a large frontal lobe, is that we become interested in what we know about. Overriding Joe’s loud objections in advance, I myself am, to a surprising degree, human. I can prove this surprising point with one example.
I was Special Assistant to the head of the Civil Service for both Staffing and Security checks. There is nothing quite as mind-numbing as regulations for civil service jobs. But I had to study them in depth.
I knew that my studies had gone too far when I was trying to explain to someone the radical implications of a particular decision recorded in the loose-leaf, ten thousand page Federal Personnel Manual (FPM). I finally noticed that the person I was filling in on the background of my Great Discovery had a look on his face that showed clearly that he would be rather doing something more pleasant, like being in the last stages of tuberculosis or having a spike driven into his ear.
Remember that I was a professional interrogator, and it took me that long to catch on!
It bothers me that, in church, there is always a reading from the Old Testament. The curse of being from the Bible Belt is that we are exposed to Jews, Jews, Jews all the time, even if we have never met one of the sect that calls itself Jews today.
I am fighting human nature here. Anybody who has studied Jews on and on and on, for any reason at all, is going to find Jews interesting.
Whether he is anti-semitic or pro-semitic (philo-semitic is pretentious nonsense) makes no difference at all. Whether he is a rabbi or a Bible Belter makes no difference at all. A person tends to take an interest in whatever he knows a lot about.
My problem is that I don’t HAVE to listen to the rabbis. But I have to show folks on my side polite attention, even when I would rather be sitting there having a spike slowly driven into my ear.

The reason I get annoyed when people talk about jews a lot is two reasons, first, they usually are grossly inaccurate on the subject and just are looking for someone to blame their problems on, and second, like you’ve said, I’ve just heard enough.

A professional interrogator. Wow! Can’t beat that. I know a fella who is heavily into interrogators. He literally loves them. When he was a youngun’ foolishly wearing a military uniform because one of the Greatest Generation advised him it was the right thing to do he got into a very nasty situation where he had the wonderful opportunity to be faced with a pack of interrogators. Being young and stupid (so he says) he didn’t really understand the situation. All he remembers is that, after a time, he began to identify with the aggressors. Yes. The aggressors. That would be those wonderful people known as “the interrogators.”
Cattle prods and many other useful instruments were actually questions being asked by the interrogators. But the youngun’ for sure thought the interrogators were on the side of God. Surely, they were basically good people. He and I are at opposite ends of the spectrum with regard to that point of view. I suppose you could say that I’m of the opinion that if there is a place known as Hell then that’s where all interrogators should dwell for all eternity. So, as you can see, me and the youngun’ don’t agree on that point.
My honest opinion is that the youngun’ never did recover from his run in with the interrogators. They seem to have screwed his head up. Apparently, the interrogation went on for too long. He came to agree with their every assertion. That’s what he told me. Some say this was a form of compensation for his fragile psyche. I’ve heard that interrogators have been known to rattle a psyche or two summers along the way. They sure screwed this youngun’ up.
He’d probably like to meet you, Bob. Shake your hand and tell you what a great guy you are. Maybe I can get him to read your blog along with me. If I can just get him to stop pacing up and down all the time.
A professional interrogator. Imagine that! You sure don’t sound like one. ‘Course, how would I know? I’m not that youngun’ I’ve been referring to and, oh, how grateful I am for that.

Cattle prods?
The biggest problem is getting ACCURATE information. Most people being questioned have trouble remembering what you need to know.
You seem to only know of questioners who were assigned to get a confession of some sort. That’s KGB stuff.
Meanwhile, back on earth, one asks and listens.
I KEEP trying to explain to you that I am not a Tough Guy. I just got results. You seem to have trouble with that concept.
Look man, this is not rocket science. If you terrify someone into this kid’s state, he tells you whatever YOU want to hear. As usual, macho is not only subhuman, it doesn’t WORK.
It’s not only cruel, it’s DUMB.
Get it?

Our greatest problem as a people is that
we are blaming everyone but ourselves for
our destruction.
Thats an INSULT.
We are the only people who believe
that the universe has RULES.
That make sense.
No Monsters.
Goblins.
But we have inherited the idea that ALL
PEOPLE on this planet are the SAME.
Either the RULES are wrong,
Or…
We have messed up in some way.
Since we are succesful,
we are proud.
So we have messed up in some way.
Failed.
It’s all our fault.
How can we bring children into this world?
The world we failed?
We are killing ourselves.
We are DYING over BELIEF.
And we are too damn busy chattering
about horseshit to notice.

Well I guess the kgb approach is right. 2 + 2 will always be 4. It’s not a conspiracy of the math world to trick people who think 2 + 2 = 5, its a search for the truth.

When I was 20, I met a smooth interrogator like Bob at a small town south of Mt. Vernon, Virginia. He forced a change in my career because he liked me. I hate him.
He ordered me to take a test to join his Federal organization, I took it and it was extremely easy: I completed that day-long battery of tests forty-five minutes sooner than anyone else there, walked out, and never came back. Bob might know what I am talking about.
Brevisse esso labore, obscuro fio. This is from Horace, Bob. Yes I really do know five languages, but no that has fetched me neither money nor respect.

The constant focus on just one group, Jews for example, could be compared to 40 different rescipes on how to prepare eggs. Its will always begin with the main ingredient, so why not focus on organizing the anglo-american majority, by stressing issues that really matter, our culture, heritage, language and history. Jews may be resourcefull and smart, in the long run real power will reside in the hands of the majority once they take action and regain control over their lives.

It probably doesn’t matter, but “know” doesn’t at all mean “fluent” and it includes English.

I read a book about the Bible a couple of years ago in which the author, who does a pretty thorough job of analysis, states that the Old Testament is about two completely different
Gods and religions — and that the dividing point was the “Babylonian Captivity.” Before that,
it was about a cruel, demanding God who demanded human sacrifice, etc. (I’ll check the library here and see if they have it.)
I abhorred the Protestant practice of pulling verses out of the Bible to “prove” points. As
a Catholic, I have some theology I can call upon to support my abhorrence: besides, it’s easier
to appreciate the Bible if you look at complete units, such as chapters.
The only parts of the Old Testament I _like_ are the later parts, such as Proverbs and the Psalms as well as the DeuteroCanonical books, which are the ones Luther decided to hack out. (btw, several of the Psalms are very closely related to the Zoroastrian Gathas, if not direct translations.)
Be very careful with spellcheckers. Microsoft’s is occasionally wrong. Microsoft’s grammar checker is often _very_ wrong.

I know how you feel Mr Whitaker. One of the challenges for DD going forward is the fact that Jews are throwing right wing Jews in Jail for RACISM. Noam Federman is a right wing Jew in Israel. They have him on trial for saying racist things about the poor lil brown people. He could and may go to jail for several years for just saying something that the Muslims say on CNN every day!! Of course, I would point out that he is a White Jew. One thing I have yet to hear DD talk about is how Jews force their own to practice the religion of political correctness. And they are NOT tolerant toward non believers! The so-called Jews in charge have double standards on everything, everyone and especially their fellow Jews.
Of course, the Jews are scared to death of the right wing Jews. They fear them more than God and DD combined. Just harping on the Jews is NOT going to save our race. We must harp on Wordism. Judaism is now in a wordism decline. It almost looks like an Aryan decline. Look at all these different kinds of Judaism. Whites can never agree on what they like…. ONLY on what they dislike.
All readers of this blog need to prepare for the day when our enemies hit the proverbially “Gates of Vienna” ……and it is getting closer by the hour. MY RACE……….OUR RACE…………….MY RACE…………..OUR RACE…………..and don’t you guys forget it.

Yes, cattle prods. And that’s when they’re in a good mood.
KGB stuff? Hardly.
Questioners? That’s Mike Wallace, et. al. That’s not interrogators. Now that you mention it Wallace is nowhere near as great as his promoters claim he is. To me, he’s just another schmuck asking questions in a controlled setting. Yeah, that’s it. That’s the ticket. Mike Wallace. He’s an asker of questions.
“Meanwhile back on earth.” That’s a smear. That’s an attempt to make someone look like a nutcase.
“Macho is not only subhuman, it doesn’t work.” Well, it might work depending on what you want to get.
“It’s not only cruel, it’s dumb. Get it?” The “get it” is to imply that I’m stupid. You know, dense. It implies that I don’t know anything about the topic. Well, if it’s cruel and dumb and I’m in full agreement that it is, I can reasonably assure you that 95% of the people in the business are cruel and dumb. That’s part of the job description according to what I’ve been told.

Make a point of reading Bob’s lengthy piece about interrogation. Apparently, a spark has been struck. Some of the piece is accurate. There’s a great joke in there. At least he saved himself by copping to not being a professional interrogator. That got him out of the doghouse as far as I’m concerned. I was sure he would have mentioned Bobby Garwood in that piece but I guess he thinks John McCain is more important than Garwood. John McCain was only one of many. I think he probably has an idea what interrogation means without having to put it into quotes.

Mike Wallace and the rest of the 60 minutes gange of four waste 30years times the number of minutes each and every one of us spent watching that dribble. Sixty minute needs a moto that reads, always left, always edited to fit our adjenda and seldom accurate. heres an example of know what would be said before they would say it, always predictable.
John McCain is what we could call a left of center moderate and a media darling. When GW defeated McCain in South Carolina Maria shriver tried to ask him a question and he told her to shut up. Maria was in the wrong out fit, had she worn the uniform of the NVA he may have been more cooperative. McCain love attention, ever notice how he always saves the liberals asses right when they are about to crash and burn, John the compromiser, should be John the turn coat, some things never chage with him.

After thining about this more, the problem with people who obsess with Jews is that they don’t just discuss the Jewish role, they worship the Jewish role. The overblow the Jewish role. They will say anything to distract people off of their current issues and move them onto the jew issue instead, even make illogical arguments in the process to do this.
