The required prerequisite to the course offered here is one below. I will start where that ended.
We know the history of Rome’s decline and fall. What we need to know is how it BEGAN. Anybody can fall without studying history to find out how.
So, today, we know all about Ellis Island and the Pilgrims, but we know NOTHING about the people who actually went out and founded American institutions. Certainly the Massachusetts settlement was everything America was NOT. And I don’t just mean a society where everyone was watched as closely as in Orwell’s 1984, where the State war absolute in the most piddling matters and there was no freedom at all.
I mean something else as well.
The Puritans never LEFT Europe. By 1640, there was almost zero difference between the Puritan community people left in England and the one they moved in Massachusetts.
Ooops! Here comes The Greatest Generation to tell us that there was WAR against the Indians in Massachusetts. WAR, they tell us, is EVERYTHIG. The world is divided into Practical Men Who Know What Life’s All About, like them, and everybody else.
Meanwhile, back on Planet Earth, if you had been in an American military uniform from 1941-1945, you had a far better chance of surviving those four years than if you had been a healthy male in mufti in England from 1641-1645. In fact, given the REAL causes of death in the REAL world at the time, people in Jamestown or Massachusetts in 1640, Indians and all, were safer than people in England.
Death then was from disease and hunger. NOBODY starved in NORTH American colonies then. The population was so healthy compared to the conditions in Europe that they multiplied like rabbits.
Anyone telling you about the Middle West will draw a line through the middle of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. What is south of this line, they tell you, was overwhelmingly populated by Southerners. North of the line was the rest. That is generally true. The Ashbrook family, NOT ASHCROFT! – came to Ohio from Virginia in the 1830s.
Lincoln kept saying that northern Illinois and southern Illinois in his day were as different as South Carolina and Massachusetts.
But remember, New England, and especially Massachusetts, were only a small fraction of the population north of the Mason-Dixon Line. New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, none of them tiny, were up there, too. And the rest of New England itself.
And also remember we are not talking about the West BELOW the Mason-Dixon Line. When you do the arithmetic, you will find that New Englanders who settled the West were few and far between. The Midwesterners who defeated the South in the Civil War were half Southerners themselves.
You can find New England settlers in Salem, Oregon. Hence the name. Puritan descendants tended to settle the West just as they had settled America, in clumps, in communities that would have been more at home in a Puritan English village than in Virginia.
Do the arithmetic. The Puritan Fathers were the fathers of very, very, VERY few Americans. How did they become our “Fathers?” EXACTLY the same way priests become Catholic “Fathers.”
Puritans settled in Massachusetts and wrote up a storm. Every history features them, not only because they won the Civil War, but because, like Rome in its decline and fall, there were endless sources there.
New Englanders, compared to the rest of the country, stayed right where they landed. So did the Ellis Islanders. If you want endless documentation abut how America was funded, all you need is a year-round ticket between New York City and Boston.
Notice how much alike WORLD history and AMERICAN history are? WORLD history is Ex Oriente Lux. Everything was invented right where the records are. The history of every LIVING country is buried under cathedrals and new cities and farmlands. By the most incredibly good luck, everything was invented right where everything died, right in the middle of the Middle Eastern desert where all the ancient writings are right at the surface.
American history had the same luck. America is Ex Oriente Lux. Just as all world history comes from the Middle East; all American history comes from Boston and New York, from the Northeast.

It seems baked in the cake that official histories are storybook affairs that ethnic loyalties hide behind.
But hey, the real issue is loyalty.
So be it that my history is obscure to teach me the meaning of loyalty, it is a noble thing to be tasked with discovering it.
In the 19th century, whites spoke of “the fatalism” of nonwhite cultures. That made up for big gaps in the written history of white achievement.
That was white racial consciousness saying we need to take responsibility for the world as whole including generational descent, knowing full well that nonwhites are structurally incapable of such a perspective.
But 19th century whites never thought so little of their nonwhite brethren that they charged them with being incapable of loyalty.
That conceit was left to 20th century Jews.
It is absurd and it is a marker in extremism.
That’s why whites are having such a hard time getting over it.

“We know the history of Rome’s decline and fall. What we need to know is how it BEGAN. Anybody can fall without studying history to find out how.”
This is what Oswald Spengler wrote on and Yockey rephrased. Spengler intimated a conversion. The old dies and becomes the new. Classical civilization died and became the New Rome for a thousand years in the east, and it became the West, us. Now our turn to die and be reborn, to be converted into a new beginning, is here.
The new world is being built on race.
The rest is prophecy.

Yes!
You can hear it in the vowels and vocabulary. The phonemic structure of the North is very different from the rest of the country. For example, they change the ‘o’ in Wisconsin to ‘a’ as in cat. This change occurs from the upper Midwest to New England and Midatlantic. The change happened early and early colonial maps I have seen spell Boston “Baston” since that is how they say it. As for vocabulary, take “cute” for example; cute occurs in across the South, lower Midwest, and Far West, but not in the Northeast before TV.
Moreover, the South and the lower Midwest you mention went further west and gave the standardized English we have today. Thus the English on TV in the USA is not Northern, but derived from Southern because the West is a child of the South.
This means that the Northeast has always been a region separate from the rest of Anglo North America.
It also means that all culture outside of the Northeast derives from the South.
The South has conquered.

Other examples of that are San Francisco and Seattle, both capitals of the weird.

Well I do know my own family history matches this. My grandmother’s people moved out of places like Greyson Co., Virginia and Rowan Co. North Carolina through the Cumberland Gap into Southern Indiana in the early part of the 19th century. And they didn’t fight for Lincoln even though the Indiana governor,Morton, I think, was a rabid Lincoln man. I know this because of comments I heard growing up that made me realize that there was some bitterness about that war back in the family AND there was NO PENSION for the young family that lost their husband and father.
