Shari and Teaching With Humor

A joke: Child says to teacher ” This multiplication table thing, has it been peer reviewed?”

Comment by Shari

ME:

The best way to spread a basic point is with humor.

But one should hit basics any way one can. I feel very lonely doing it.

For example, if someone defends peer review, I ask them, “What is the difference between peer reiew and a self-appointed bureaucracy?”

And then there is the question no respectable conservative EVER asks, “What IS racism?”

I hope this kind of thinking doesn’t get frozen with my head at Alcor.

Epitaph for a Generation

Someone told me that they saw an episode of The Simpson’s where Tom Brokaw — in cartoon, of course, but using his own name — was shown talking to a bunch of old WWII vets, including Homer’s father. He was telling them how great they were and they were shouting, “More, Tom, more!”

I haven’t seen it and I find it hard to believe anyone but me would have the affronter to call down twelve million WWII vets for adopting that name, The Greatest Generation. But on the other hand, I haven’t heard anybody use that term seriously in a long, long time.

As I said, I know as a writer that Tom Brokaw did not say that. He wrote it for an audience and it sold like hot cakes — to the group that wanted to be called The Greatest Generation. I was surprised when no one challenged me when I said, in writing and in person, that they called THEMSELVES The Greatest Generation. Everybody seems to know exactly what I mean.

And that would be a fitting epitaph for the whole bunch of them:

“They called themselves The Greatest Generation.”

Only with this last, ultimate overreaching did it begin to become clear just what a sick mentality, just what a spoiled-child mentality, this generation had. When the WWII Generation took over, the white man strode the earth like a Colossus. By the time these moronic cowards finally are going to their graves and whatever awaits them thereafter, white men apologize for their very existence, and champion its end.

A young Henry Clay invented the term “Founding Fathers” about 1811. Neither Washington nor Adams nor Jefferson or any of the rest of the Founding Fathers ever used it thought many of them lived for decades after the term became common. No gentleman would call himself a Founding Father.

Hell, no ADULT would give HIMSELF a vainglorious moniker like that!

Until the one that gave away everything the Founding Fathers won.

First of all, the generation that called everybody else spoiled was itself spoiled rotten. I knew many of them who, to all intents and purposes, died on V-J Day. For the rest of their lives all they talked about was how weak everybody else was, how they had proven their courage once and for all and never had to get out and battle for any cause. People of my age who had enemies taking the white man’s world found a vacuum in the older generation that should have continued the fight and held our place. They had learned to OBEY, and they insisted that Real Heroes, them, OBEYED anything they were told.

As I keep repeating, there were some of them who had decent opinions, but they NEVER stood up for them. I saw endless rows of paper-hat soldiers from WWII saying they fought a war for integration and for open borders, but I never heard ONE of the pape4r hats CONTRADICT them in public.

A Company Traitors and a Legion of Cowards finally went too far in declaring themselves The Greatest Generation.

The World War ONE Generation was given a raw deal by the government when that war ended. The Bonus March of 1933 was well known in 1945, and the professional advocates of Veterans’ benefits used that example endlessly to get more and more and more for the group that Saved the World by giving a third of the earth’s population to Stalin and Mao-Tse-Tung.

No one seems to have noticed the connection between the hippies and the World War II Generation, or between the Jews’ behavior and the WWII Generation.

Hippies said the world owed them a living. Their fathers said exactly the same thing, but their fathers said the world owed them a living because they fought World War II. But their fathers also told them, or never contradicted the statement that, Communists were the good guys. You can’t give a third of the world to somebody without implying they’ve got virtue.

So the hippies simply took it for granted that Communists were at least as good as America, especially an America that was waging a war it would neither fight nor get out of in Vietnam. This policy was entirely the product of Kennedy’s Best and Brightest. Today’s neoconservatives and National Review which worships them say they still believe exactly what Kennedy’s Best and Brightest believed.

So we are now in a new Vietnam.

Now back to the hippies. The hippies had been told by their daddies that the Communists were the good guys. There was no war for them to fight, but the world owed hippies everything just like it did their daddies.

The Jews came out of World War II with a story that made their paranoid existence heaven. All white gentiles WERE out to get them. Any white gentile who wanted the survival of his race was just out to get the Jews. That had been the Jewish theme long since. All white gentiles as enemies was the theme that made Communism possible. Communism was overwhelmingly Jewish-led, which led to the Nazis (even a Jewish author or two has admitted this recently).

But the World War II Generation insisted that the Nazis came out of nothing but white gentile Hate. It was the only way to justify what they did. So in 1945 Jews were, unkosher as it sounds, in Hog Heaven.

So the Jews and the World War II Generation hunted down “War Criminals” together. It turned out that every single one of the twelve million American uniformed personnel had personally liberated a Death Camp in Germany.

A few decades later, it was admitted that there were no Death Camps in Germany. The Death Camps were safely behind the Iron Curtain where they could not be investigated.

But like The Greatest Generation, the Jews have gone too far. They have made America not reviled but ridiculed as a giant Israeli puppet. No one in the World War Generation dared propose a condemnation of the attack on the USS Liberty by Israel at one of their beat-your-scrawny-chest conventions. And the suppression of free speech is beginning to cost them, as the release of David Irving just a week after the Holocaust Convention and David Duke’s pointing straight at European Holocaust laws prove.

“They called themselves the Greatest Generation.”

No epitaph for millions of moronic cowards could be more appropriate.

Dave, Elizabeth and Nobody Do My Work For Me

Since I read financial and economic commentary constantly, I have no problem seeing what BW means about “the BASE” and what confusion results through mistaken notions that are fundamental. For example, I just finished reading an essay by a “celebrated academic” premised on the idea that Islam has impeded capital formation because Islamic religious trusts allow only for the accumulation of and retention of real estate interests and morally prohibit unequal profits.

The idea is that the corporation and unlimited executive pay is responsible for the prosperity of “the West”, in contrast to the “Islamic East” that prohibits such organizational forms.

It is astonishing that anyone takes this nonsense seriously, yet academics are paid to produce it. Worse, they actually believe it.

What can I say? I just thank God I am not some poor student, tumbling in perplexity, assuming something important is going on.

Academic orthodoxy truly is primitive. It is astounding so many are lost in it and don’t even know that they are only pretending to be grownup human beings.

There’s always new stuff coming out about earlier times — but academic orthodoxy blocks much of this. One example is “No Europeans found North America before 1492.” I was a little girl when archaeologists found the remains of the Viking settlement at L’Anse aux Meadows, on that Canadian island. I could go on and on about academic orthodoxy in history and geography (especially climate)…

Comment by Elizabeth — 12/29/2006 @ 12:35 pm | Edit This

Dave and Elizabeth made interesting observations about getting trapped in academic orthodoxy, a uniquely self-perpetuating series of interlocking myths, which will lead to our downfall.

One of the points made by the students of failed societies, like Joseph Tainter, is that they become overly wedded to one worldview – and the world changes. The handful of people who are truly present and responsible at the Creation of the next social order SEE that the Old Order can not hold.

Take Vladimir Putin, who, to my thinking, is the foremost statesman on the planet right now. He, and those who ally with him, saw that the JEWISH structures of the Soviet Union were a series of parasitic social overlays that focused on stripping the Russian society of their living heritage, and the natural resources of an Empire away from the people who serve, to the peole who rule. Thus, as the inevitable collapse became imminent, the Oligarchs – six JEWS and a shabbas goy front man – literally stole the immense natural and intellectual wealth of the Soviet Union for less than a penny on the dollar.

Putin, and his associates, saw this as the ideal moment to ignite the Russian spirit, and speak to the Russian soul; his identification with LIVING “Christian” forms of worship “is not by accident,” and, still facing what the Mind sees as tremendous obstacles, SEES, with the Spirit, what is possible for the Russian people – IF they can successfully cross a tremendous Abyss.

To their credit, they, raised in a society controlled by Wordists, looked PAST the Words to the spiritual dynamic forces that gave them life. They then threw off the intellectual bondage of archaic models of Reality (that the Wordists have mastered), and chose to create a new, more honest social order, pretty much from the ground up.

What we worship as “economic theory” seems to be really little more than intermediate price theory writ large, with the Wordist Inversion that the matters of Substance – the spiritual foundation of the lives of the people – have become subordinate to the matters of Form – market clearing prices, at any cost, in service to corporate forms.

The Islamist model works extremely well, because it is inherently organic; its value as an economic tool is that is is a TOOL – a Means to an End – and that End is subordinate to the health, organic social ordering of society.

Simply stated, the Islamic model resembles our Cooperatives to a degree, with one big exception; rather than having the dead mechanistic hand of interest as the sole determinant of risk, and thus, value, their social order replaces it with a series of organizations that are the constructive equivalent of partnership system. This requires all parties to the arrangement approach it with a much stronger awareness of the risks and rewards inherent in the enterprise, but, unlike what our system has become, all of the skills of all of the parties are joined in a common purpose, and no one gains MECHANISTICALLY at the expense of another.

It is our duty, as the CREATIVE RACE, to not be bound by the dead hand of archaic tradition, and to remember the Great Insight of Peter Shank concerning our RACIAL Enemies:

The JEWS took over this country without firing a shot; they did it by controlling the pictures you see, and the words you hear; from that, the Institutions that control the social ordering of Society were easy prey.

Following Shank’s lead, I have a simple test for the degree to which Wordism has taken over an Institution – I just look at the degree to which the Institution serves the Bureaucracy – the Church serves the Priesthood, for example – and it becomes obvious as to how much the dead hand of archaic Ideals rule the day.

Look at it this way – TO WHAT DEGREE DOES THE INSTITUTION ACTIVELY REWARD POLICIES AND PRACTICES THAT ARE THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF ITS STATED GOALS?

To THAT degree, the dead hand of Wordism softly, silently, triumphs, even as softly, silently, termites triumph over the living tree.

Overcoming THAT is our daily battle, for our families, and our daily duty, on behalf of our RACE – RACE, writ large, as the dynamic living bridge between FAMILY and CULTURE.

The Romans built in white, shining marble. They painted and gilded highlights and particular architectural features. Art historians have known this for at least a hundred years, and yet art history text books still show buildings colored to match the drab ruins of today.

It once was thought that the buildings were wholly unadorned and that the statues were too. Then someone, probably a German, began rooting around in the hair of a famous Greek kouros. He found in the deep crevasses golden blond pigment. This kouros became known as the Blond Boy. But since we know that Greek society and art was based on an ideal of neat, tidy perfection, it is safe to assume that all or most all their marble statues were colored the same: glowing white skin, bright golden hair.

The Greek preferred bronze, and anyone who has spent some time with Brasso knows you can polish bronze to innumerable hues of gold, yellows, tans, and pinks. Yet Greek bronze statues in art history books are always greenish black, as if the Greeks kept their greatest works of art buried and corroding in wet earth.

Kevins’s Appointment

Kevin reported to me that this site was down on

BobsUnderGroundSeminar@yahoogroups.com

which is one reason he set up that group.

kevin, please check and be sure I got the above address right. Is S supposed to be capitalized, etc.?

James Kelso takes care of us by having all the technical details and contacts there at hand, so I would have called him. But I asked kevin to call him for me. Kevin did so.

Since I’m the Fuhrer around here, I have appointed Kevin to call Kelso as our Reich minister umber was loss get, “Reich Minister for What Goes Wrong.”

We are getting there. We have writers like Dave who can make and expand on my point, and if the thing goes kerblooey, we don’t have to sit and wrong our hands until His Majesty King Robert the Fuehrer has called Kelso. This thing is well on its way to running itself.
