I keep asking you to consider WHY any information is PRODUCED.

This is very different from asking you to DOUBT. It goes deeper, and should take MORE time. The Tough Guy approach is to learn “both sides,” to aggressively Question. But he is already into step two. His big concern is LOOKING doubtful, not in analyzing reality. If you “study the question,” that means YOU know all about it.

And for the Tough Guy, everybody seeing that you know it all is where the process stops. What good does any Wisdom do if it doesn’t show how wise YOU are?

Please note that I began here by analyzing WHY the Tough Guy says what he says, not by casting doubt on it from my endless fund of information about all aspects of the question. Why do ***I*** use this approach? Because the Tough Guy is aiming to look tough. I, on the other hand, am interested solely in power in the real world.

Look at that word “real.” Do you think it is accidental that whenever we hear the word “reality” it means something awful? But you could do this for YOURSELF: WHY does the word “reality” always mean something awful? It is because the person using that word is saying,

1) ***I*** really know what reality is, because of my virtues.
2) ***I*** have “been there.”
3) ***I*** am tough and experienced.

In other words, the person who defines “reality” is talking entirely about HIMSELF, which is precisely what reality is NOT about.

The most Tough Guy things I have ever done were a COVER. If you have papers to show you are working with a sewing machine company and someone figures out that you are actually a combat merc, they stop looking. To look any further would be like finding someone is covering up an armed robbery and then saying, “Well, this must be a cover for something SERIOUS.”

Like acting the Dumb Southerner in DC, this analysis of reality has a very, VERY practical side. That is WHY it is REALITY. That someone may be using being a merc as a cover simply doesn’t occur to people. Why?

Because the information people are used to from Tough Guys is aimed at making Tough Guys look TOUGH. Merc is the toughest so merc is the end of the chain.

In other words, “reality” begins and ends with his being a Tough Guy.

GREAT layout!

I just saw it for the first time.

A fighitng bug is a wonderful idea, but check and be sure we’re not using one we can be sued for.

“Ironically, the safe, comfortable past is an elegant trap…”

Thinking ahead and thinking things through does NOT mean central planning.

Populist leadership can be as simple as recognizing worth and expertise and drumming up support for those that have them, while at the same time recognizing what is insane and harmful and sweeping such people out of the way. But somebody, a generalist, needs to have an idea of what is going on, or there will be no change, no revolution, no politics.

Another example I gave in the past is how the West was won. There was no central planning. There was a little politics and there were guide books. The guide books described the trails heading West, how to survive in the wilderness, and how to scratch out a living wherever you were. This was revolutionary. This was planning. But it was NOT central planning.

There was a kind of bureaucracy involved in printing and selling the books, in the manufacture of the wagons, and in holding a group together while tracking months through the Great American Desert and keeping scalps away from bloodthirsty Injuns. There was planning, but no CENTRAL planning.

It is not that anyone thinks you are trying to create a mass movement, it’s that you still have more practical knowledge to share with those who could help you use it. I know you are tired, so if that’s it, then we will focus on organizing what you have already written, which is a job well done. Organizing always brings out new insights and general conclusions and this is what Dave is doing at National Salvation.

Those who talk about Change cannot deal with real, honest-to-God change, just as the last people who know love are those who shout Love incessantly. No one is a better hater than a person who insists he is fighting Hate.

Marxism believed it was obvious that the best economy would be a PLANNED one. Instead of all that inefficient competition everyone would just pull together in an organized fashion. The term Social Progress has been laughed out of existence. Now they call it Change, though I haven’t even heard that term in a while.

But Social Progress or Change, it means that Political Correctness knows exactly where society is going, that it is going in his direction, so Change is on his side. Which is the exact set of assumptions that got Social Progress laughed off the map.

Wordists all claim to know exactly where the world is headed. Every Wordist also knows that if he could consistently predict the stock market that way, he could BUY the world in a few years. When peabrains like that actually take over an economy, anybody who should be trusted with sharp objects should know what will happen. But the experts and intellectuals declared it a success until it literally collapsed before their eyes.

The fatal weakness of Change is that it cannot deal with the slightest bit of real change. Marx assumed that what he thought were the trends of his day would continue unchanged. The proletariat would get poorer and more desperate. Even as he wrote, the first we of the city proletariat was becoming management and beginning to buy property and workers were being given the vote.

None of this concerned Marx in the least. A good Wordist never lets reality slow him down.

Everything here RELATES. To an extent a present reader finds it impossible to conceive, the Middle East was the absolute basis of ALL thinking that thought itself civilized In Marx’s day. There was no real change. Every Great Civilization progressed through rigid phases. The High Culture was the pyramid-building and scribe phase Egypt had reached and we had fallen from.

You don’t need a free market to tell you how to build a pyramid. In fact you don’t need a market economy to do ANYTHING that twentieth century history says High Cultures did. All you need is scribes to plan and organize it.

Meanwhile out in the real world slamming an Egypt-style planned economy into the modern world was like taking the Wright Brothers’ plane up against a modern jet fighter.

And that is why what I say sounds so confusing. After a lifetime of being given exact plans and specifications for building an endless number of Wordist pyramids, I am trying to get you back to a system that visibly takes Wordism apart when it goes for a test flight. I do not NEED a mass movement. I need to push certain basics to keep the movement in a rational direction.

But, as with the economy, the apparent winner is the equivalent of planning, the torchlight parade approach. Just as a Great Civilization was based on building pyramids, a great movement is based on getting millions of people out on the street. That is why someone like me spends WEEKS arranging that “spontaneous” crowd when The Candidate shows up. That’s the way Harry Truman did it and, by gum, that’s the way it’s done NOW!

Meanwhile, back on Planet Earth, mass meetings are strictly for show. The real campaign is one-on-one or the despised “campaign slogan,” which is really an attempt to express the public mood, however crude. It is not “good” in the sense Marx would define a “good” economy. A campaign slogan is as hit-or-miss, when judged on its “goodness” as the latest trend in consumer spending. But have you ever LISTENED to the total, changeless crap that is shouted at mass meetings. They are mobs, with the IQ of mobs.

The age of TV moved from the mass meeting to the slogan. Has anybody noticed that we are no longer in the age where television is the Latest Thing? In our age, an idea very rapidly becomes either outdated or a challenge that must be met. This is the first time in history when the ordinary person has the POWER to DEMAND an answer. It is very, VERY hard to do so, but one of my favorite things is watching the old “professional journalists” get together and moan about this modern age when “professionals” no longer control every outlet.

Thirty years ago everyone knew who the Anchor Man on CBS was. I don’t. IS there one?

People always want me to present a more “solid” set of ANSWERS. Everyone you know can present you with a solid list of what constitutes Change. Everyone but me. I deal in a world that changes from year to year. Rule One: No kind of Change can deal with real changes.

The most “progressive” economies on earth proved that.

It I true that other animals have learned to avoid snakes that have brightly-colored skin. Bright color is the snake’s way of telling you that he is poisonous. The reason e wants other animals it is poisonous is by its brightness of color. In fact, there is a frog in Brazil that is poisonous and it, too, has bright-colored skin.

The reason these poisonous beings have that skin color is to show that they ARE poisonous. Granted that an animal which attacked and killed them would EVENTUALLY die for it, but in the meantime the poisonous animal could be dead from the attack, so the death of its attacker would do it little good.

So most animals avoid bright-colored snakes just for the color of their skin.

WE, who have been trained by Mommy Professor, know this is a pointless prejudice. There are bright-colored snakes that not only have no poison, they have no TEETH. So it is RIDICULOUS to avoid a reptile because of its skin color.

Up to half of the young men with black skin are in the prison and parole system. But, as Mommy Professor points out, at least half of them are NOT. So if woman gets on an elevator alone at night with a man, his skin color should make no difference. This is an official statement from CBS in its guide as to how to avoid violence.

So anyone who would not pick up a snake because it is bright colored is a racist and anaziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.

Brian is just going ahead and upgrading the system. He probably consulted with others, but he didn’t consult with me, which is exactly the way I like it. That was a LOT of work and he ruined his computer doing it.

But, contrary to the Masturbation Generation, I am not as impressed by his sacrifices as I am by his INITIATIVE.

A manager who does not hire people who are better at things than he is is a FAILURE. But if they are better, how does he JUDGE them? That seems tome to be what good management is about. The top guy succeeds if he RECOGNIZES good work and people who have initiative.

What they do WORKS,

Our whole world view interrelated. Brian’s work relates directly back to Wordism. A good Wordist wants Control. I just want it DONE. This is true of technical work like Brian’s and it is true of seminar participation (which he is also good at).

A person who has it all in His Book has aborted his whole thought process. In Wordism, nothing is allowed to WORK. Everything is justification. That is why Communism was doomed. The market tends to weed out failure. Planning cements it into the system.

Once again, pleas NOTICE the IMPORTANCE of what I told Pain: “I don’t KNOW” what you should come up with, ay more than I know what Brian should do to the system.

What I DO know what I am LOOKING FOR.

This makes things a lot harder on YOU than any form of Wordism would be. Our whole world view is very confusing in our Wordist society. I am looking for SOMETHING good and I don’t KNOW what it is YET. It would be one hell of a lot easier for you to search Bob’s Holy Writ and repeat what I want I want you to repeat, especially since that has been your entire training in this society.

Bu in the end, what would you have? Someone who comes up under ANY form of Wordism suffers the same disadvantage in dealing with US that Communism had dealing with market economies. That system produced people who were simply not capable of competing in a REAL economy.

Z describes this beautifully in the article above.

You must go out of here with that key asset: an ability to deal in REALITY, in things that WORK.

The power of a small group of people like THAT is incalculable. In fact, they are the ONLY people who have actual POWER.

white trash and niggers are the same so what does it matter? Lazy and stupid in any race is lazy and stupid.

– Mark

ME:

Ah,yes, what does it matter what a person’s race is if he works hard and is clean?

This is where I came in.

Every Great Civilization before the West let the top men have more women and more children.
Their ruins lie there. What happened?

Classiim was the hallmark of every civilization, yet only ONE factor ever actualy determined whether they fell permanently or went on: The color of the skin.

The color of the skin.

The color of the skin.

The color of the skin.

I have no idea WHY this is the case. What is important is not your own frustrations with trash. What is important is not your Work Ethic. What is important is the color of the skin.

All Experts disagree with this. All Fashionable Opinion disagrees with this. But experts and Fashionable Opinion are wrong as regularly as colored societies happen to go downhill and stay there.

I made several points in pieces here. All of them were ignored so everybody could have their period and bitch about white trash.

Maybe our job is done here. I am beginning to feel that way, and I’m too tired to play squabble.

I have had teams I worked hard with drop me before. I have had hundreds of comrades drift off into their own never-never lands before.

I am thinking about closing this blog down for a week, with no comment approvals or any more of my own unread crap, so I can think about whether this phase of my life is over. I almost did that tonight. Once I do, it’s done.

I was reading the comments, which you will have to read for yourself to keep up.

At first, just waking up, I was offended at Mark’s insult to Hardric and his cheap psychoanalysis of Hardric. Then I had my coffee and read the comments again. Mark’s personal comment is wrong, so I will ASK him to apologize for it, but the rest of what the Sarge says sounds, oddly enough, like what a Sarge SHOULD say.

Then I read the comments again and began to get the eerie feeling that they were psychoanalyzing ME without meaning to.

You see, in fifty years or so I have been through EVERY phase of what is being said REPEATEDLY. I gained my reputation in DC when I was in the “working class” phase of thinking. I was an Honorary Boston Southie. I was on the streets of DC and Louisville and DC getting working class people to rebel against the college-ruined brains of the establishment.

But, as Mark says, the white working class, which is different from the welfare class he describes, ended up asking for what it got. I learned that lesson by work on the ground.

Mark is describing the proletariat, which he is forced to deal with constantly, the crowd the Marxes and the Fondas are always praising and never get close enough to to SMELL.

I learned, painfully, that ideas filter DOWN. I couldn’t stop working people from adopting the fashionable crap.

Especially the LEADERS. As soon as some nobody gets interviewed as a Leader they try to sound like somebody ABOVE the working people around them.

I will never forget an incident when I, PERSONALLY, had spent my time and position organizing the joint demonstration in DC o anti-busers and textbook protestors in Washington against the educational establishment. THOUSANDS of working people traveled hundreds of miles on buses they paid for personally to join in the march. It was a true grassroots protest.

Then the Leaders made their speeches on the back steps of the Capitol to the thousands. Some bitch from Boston whose only accomplishment in life had been to get a leadership spot in Boston declared that she was against busing, but anyone who was against INTEGRATION should leave.

A lot of people DID leave.

Before that, there was a big battle among the Bostonians about who would speak for them. You see, this was a big deal up there, and after years of protesting a lot of the “leaders” had had a taste of a little power for the first and only time in their lives, and that was their only concern. That was when I happened to walk up just as a West Virginia protestor said, “I don’t understand what you’re fighting about. Whitaker speaks for us and he’s not even a hick.”

I liked that. I liked being an honorary Southie. But the bottom line I found out was that concepts flow from the TOP. By the time I was essential to electing Reagan and Communism was doomed, my attitude toward any further progress on saving our race through the working crowd would have made Mark here look like Little Mister Sunshine.

But one thing I knew: Things NEVER stay the same. From 1980 on I was in a kind of holding pattern. The TOP of the idea chain was out of reach, up in New York and Harvard.

And, indeed, things HAPPENED, one I could have predicted and the other I could not.

First, those Sophisticated Ideas everybody heard over and over and over got OLD. They got a NAME: Political Correctness. When everybody has been to college and hear them again and again and again, firmly ingrained slogans get OLD. Today, they get old FAST.

Five hundred years ago the Chinese were still wearing the same clothes they had worn five hundred years before. The same was true of the Middle East. The famous “cod piece” came and went in Europe. The West CHANGES. It changes pointlessly in most cases, but that is not the POINT. The POINT is that, once any set of ideas get a foothold in the Orient, it is there to stay. Back in the fifties, an expert on Japan described it as the “most constipated society on earth.” In Japan, you would routinely see statues of Jesus, Confucius and Buddha on the mantelpiece while the family voted for Marx.

Where college students used to come out with their diplomas and a desperate dedication to the New Ideas, they were now referring to “the old crap” their parents had talked about.

But we STILL lacked ACCESS to the TOP of the idea chain. Then ideas STOPPED coming from where “the same old crap” came from. The INTERNET sprang into being.

We are fighting the most ingrained idea of Political Correctness, anti-racism, anti-whitism. But if you LOOK at the anti-whit arguments, you will find that almost none of them parrot the LEFTIST line “conservatives” down at the bottom of the idea change chain are just beginning to repeat.

I carefully not that all the nostrums about gun control and socialism are GONE from the dialogue of all but the most OBVIOUSLY driveling antis. The idea that genetics does not exist is GONE.

But the anti-white syndrome is OLD. I heard it on the radio version of Long Ranger, Evil Whites against Noble Indians. I heard it in the civil rights crap. You can still hear it in North Carolina in the play Unto These Hills which I first heard in an all-white audience in 1950. We are fighting the hardest battle of all. That is why it is so critical for us NOT to get off on the immigration track or on the “white people deserve it” track.

After forty years, I watched THE TOP OF THE IDEA CHAIN OPEN UP. It is no longer at Harvard or in New York. The top of the idea train is RIGHT HERE!

Just when the perversions of the Masturbation Generation are becoming OBVIOUS nonsense, we have the top of the idea chain literally at our FINGERTIPS!

I spent plenty of time being frustrated and furious, so I can’t blame YOU for going through that. But get OVER it!

I have enough pent-up anger for all of you. But if I were starting NOW, knowing what I know and have experience, I would go after the reality only I am fully equipped to SEE.

Sarge, shoot NOW. We’ll sort out the bodies later.
