If you have something to say that doesn’t fit into a category I started, this is the place to put it, now and a year from now. I’ll keep checking back for comments here.

But it has to be MANTRA THINKING, not SF type bellyaching.

With those of you with the need to post the Peak Oil sites all have blogs and bulletin boards. They are basically comprised of 98% white libs who see the end of the world, all the while ranting about the usual lib gripes and looking for a place out in the country amongst the white untermenschen. BUGS logic slays them like DDT slays bugs. They are in a quandry because I believe they know the FCCs are white haters like they and the cities will be ghettoes at best for whites since why would FCCs care about whites regardless.

Another quick Nephews update:
All Hell broke out back in the Hills, where they were asked a LOT of questions about me, and my philosophy.
They are also on their way back, having called me right after Christmas Dinner, and said they had to come back NOW.
Remember the Insight that begins “Imperium’:
Race has a vertical component.
They said that already you can see a social regression taking place, and several families plan on having extended families – two or more generations – under one roof in the New Year, guaranteed.
A big argument broke out over dinner – on Christmas Eve – when the women basically told them to stay until New Year’s, “or a little while longer,” and they said they had to leave after Christmas Dinner.
They could not stand it any more.
Before they left, they called, and said to expect angry phone calls from the women asking why I can’t make room for some of the other kids.
The answer is simple.
There is nothing I can do about, or for, the other kids.
And, the Nephews could discuss the primacy of Race as a social organizing principle around men all night long, and the men – particularly the Older Men *ahem* – agreed! They said that America in the old days was a much better America, when “we had ours, and they had theirs, and everyone knew where The Line was.”
The women, by and large, watch Oprah, and the ones under thirty-five voted for Obama.
It all seems so clear, now.
#4 by Simmons on 12/26/2008 - 1:20 pm
Women by nature cannot take responsibility or endure responsibility, even those superwomen Bob brags on would melt if they were picked out of a crowd, pointed at during the announcement of their personal responsibility for failure(s). Your Hill dwelling womenfolk are nowhere near close to the superwomen Bob has bragged upon, they are from what I read “Dreamcatcher” whites, the lowest of the low, living lives of despair.
I once thought it would be women who would demand the changes positive for us, no more, I assume they will degrade themselves to comfort woman level if need be.
So I think it is time to literally be honest with them in a one sentence rebuke that leaves them either at the doors of the brothels of their futures or a life of dignity.
“You chose a life of derelection, now you need to choose, to either continue down or to move up.”

in reply to Simmons:
Great points.
After being debriefed by the Nephews, they – THEY – told me, “Uncle, you don’t want anyone else from the Family moving in with us. You will be getting phone calls asking for it, but tell them ‘NO!’”
They said it was heartbreaking to see several families move in under one roof because they HAD to; these families want to send their problem children to me, “because of what a great job (I’ve) done with the Nephews.”
The women tried EVERYTHING to try to lower the Nephews back to their level, and they answered all questions in terms of Race as the Primary Social Organizing Principle.
Best of all, they went on the ATTACK with one and all, especially the women:
“Why do you give one damn about that Oprah? she doesn’t care for you. Hell, she HATES you! Don’t you see that?”
On the ATTACK!
“Why can’t we White People organize along Racial lines? All of the other races do it; the Colored, the Jews, the Illegals, all of the other Races. Why not us?”
They went on the ATTACK, arguing that the Racial War they were in, whether they knew it or not, had a strong economic component, and THEY were the professional victims in this one.
They left on cold, distant terms; they were as warm and friendly as they had to be, but they said it was like going back in time fifty years – “at least! – to a way of life that is gone forever.
They also are more motivated than ever to move forward with all of the tutoring I have for them; they saw friends of theirs from high school who were simply lost in despair, and engaged in self-defeating behaviors on a massive scale.
They brought down their high school yearbooks, and went through what the people they knew then were doing now – it was the stuff of tragedy.
They realize NOW that The Way Forward looks to Race as the essential organizing principle, and looks at Race as the Living Bridge between Family and Culture.
Nothing Else Matters.

Simmons-
This is an important observation. Marxism’s overturning of our social order has created unbelievable chaos, as intended. I don’t know about comfort women, though, since they already have the jobs while the men now stay home.
#7 by Simmons on 12/27/2008 - 9:20 am
Pain that is true for a couple of my friends former construction company owners who probably have not worked steady since early 2005, while their wives bring in the cash. It was an inference to the degradation that we put ourselves thru to “conserve” what we have, especially white women whose herd instincts are preyed upon by the Oprahs of the world.
#8 by Pain on 12/27/2008 - 4:39 pm
Simmons-
I have met a few people in construction who likewise have not found steady work in years — everything is being handed over to the Mexicans. In education, at the university level, it is becoming increasingly hard for a male to find a job, in grades 6-12, it is becoming close to impossible for a man to find and keep one — everything is being handed over to women, and now Pakistanis are being imported. In fact, I can think of about dozen friends of mine who are enormously talented, but haven’t found full employment in years and must rely on their wives. And what about those men who have been permanently ruined by divorce?

in reply to Pain and Simmons:
This is the depth of the magnitude that the total war – the Deep War, the Cultural War – has taken place upon.
It is absolutely staggering.
There is, literally, an ongoing Plan to replace and displace the White Race on their own continent, while internally, the Women have been told – again, these are the Children of the Sixties – that men are essentially worthless, and easily replaced.
Again, I date all of this, in our time, back to the advent of widespread color television – say, from 1964 – and the continual demonization and mockery of (White) men, from Saturday morning kids shows to prime time dramas.
Indeed, the only men really admired are the old, safe, kindly doctor types, and their day is over, too.
So, where do we go from here?
How about this:
Go to Church, and find one that supports our Ideals, implicitly or explicitly, where enough of the women have seen the gelding of their sons, and their son’s future, and want to Do Something about it.
Just go from one to another until you find one that feels comfortable, and you will notice something:
Intuitively, they are building an alternative social order within the American nation, for the day the American Government can not keep its basic promises.
Don’t talk explicitly about Race.
That will take care of itself, and become all too apparent, all too soon.
Movement Past looked in the rear view mirror, and few indeed looked where we were going, and tried to steer the car in a Better Direction.
So much of what we have based our lives on, and our identities from, can now be seen as the Cultural equivalent of sand, and WE have to be the Rocks of the new society.
I can not tell you how much soft animosity the Nephews faced from most of the women back in the Hills.
They have declared that they do not want to go back, and will do most anything to NOT go back.
EVER!
We’ll see where that leads.
More to follow.
#10 by shari on 12/28/2008 - 8:14 am
Isn’t it a contradiction to find a church that SUPPORTS our ideals and yet don’t mention race? Often it’s christians who are adopting non-white babies. This is a part of pushing GENOCIDE. I thought getting this in peoples heads was what to do. It’s all I can try and do anyway. And I’m not expert.
#11 by shari on 12/28/2008 - 12:16 pm
The bad thing about women bringing home the money, is that it feeds the anti-white bureaucracy. Simmons is right. Women won’t be at the lead in tearing this up. It wouldn’t work,if they were, but I sure hope that many women will be reliable allies. I think that was all that Bob was saying.
#12 by shari on 12/28/2008 - 1:14 pm
The thing is, no matter what the situation looks like, and no matter whether you feel ever so slightly hopeful/optimistic or overwhelmingly hopeless/pessimistic, you never stop fighting. Wasn’t that one of the messages of Lord of the Rings? How often did pessimism reign, and men do things that seemed utterly without hope of success, just because they would never, ever, ever, ever give up no matter the odds against them? Each man of us must say to himself, “I’m with this to the bitter end. If need be, I’ll be the last man standing. In my mind I will never give up or compromise. Never means never.” Say that to yourself and it makes no difference whether you see a smidgen of hope or see everything darkly as purest futility: in you we have the man we need.
These are some encourageing words by a Fred Scrooby.

AFKAN-
Like Simmons’ posts, I really enjoyed your post. The more people connect their personal plight with white Genocide, the bigger the movement. I know people from California that have been ready for revolution for years and they really hate leaving their native paradise for someplace colder.
Shari-
I really enjoyed your post as well.
It reminds me of John Calvin’s discussion of the visible church vs the invisible. Church attenders have always been a mix (the “visible” church) of real Christians (the “invisible” church) and actors. As that KGB defector named Yuri somethingorother said, the churches are one of the four main targets for subversion; when churches are infiltrated by political professionals, they preach Genocide with religious clout. So now, even those churches that in 1965 would have been frankly racial are towing the party line, much as the churches of the Soviet Union did. Unfortunately, the real Christians are themselves led astray by what they hear, although they know that something is wrong.
#14 by AFKANNow on 12/29/2008 - 3:02 am
continuing the Nephews update:
Suddenly, it seems so clear.
Race as the Living Bridge between Family and Culture.
Control of the mass media, and, in time, the educational system, gave the Jews the tools they needed to transform a social order from the incredible confidence and assertiveness – even aggressiveness – that was the hallmark of our Race in America in the late Nineteenth Century – the flowering of which could be seen in President Theodore Roosevelt – and the total lack of confidence, the total lack of assertiveness, all part and parcel of the gradual gelding of America.
So, the Warrior Caste is gradually marginalized, and then mocked (Children of the Sixties, remember), and then all but ignored.
It’s not the “Nixon War Machine” the Children of the Sixties were so opposed to.
Intellectually, it was The Draft.
The Deeper War took that and worked with it to glorify the geldings, those who refused to be NEAR the Armed Forces – and made them into people to be admired, and even Heroes.
Most of a century spent on systematically removing the Outliers, a technique that has moved from art to science, and the continual undermining of the Masculine in general, and Patriarchs in particular, have taken the doubt placed upon us by Freud (and his popularizers), and magnified it and transformed it into the self-hatred of the Masculine, by the Feminine in Masculine garb.
I’ve discussed with the Nephews one Idea that was totally alien to them when they moved down, and that is this:
The good news is this: their answers are all Masculine, and very Aggressive.
And they KNOW who to blame, and why.
#15 by Simmons on 12/29/2008 - 10:57 am
AFKAN “dialog” with women is using their form and the enemies form. Go ahead and try, it is a complete waste of time to try an use logic without using the “niceness” buzzwords that salve the white woman’s brain.
To keep this short, when the women call you to take in some of their children do not go off into your patented lengthy (if correct) diatribes, they won’t hear any of it. They frankly are not capable, it is a matter of niceness nothing else.
You must assert masculine dominance, and you will do that by foisting the blame upon them with a rhetorical sentence, maybe like this, “Do you hate your sons?” You have the back up intellectual firepower to answer that they do.
BTW I’m watching maybe a half dozen marriages within my circle dissolve because the men are either playing boy or dialoging with their womenfolk. I try and help but it is tricky involving oneself in the private matters of others.
#16 by shari on 12/29/2008 - 12:55 pm
Simmons, Maybe this shows you that a lot of women DO know that feminism has given them a bad deal. That many are too confused to say so, but they WANT men who are worth listening to, not dialoging with. Of course, I know some, that will have a flood of tears when they face what they have done.
#17 by Simmons on 12/29/2008 - 4:48 pm
To make it clear I’m not some mysogynist pig, life is not man barking orders, woman obeying. But finally after 40some years I realized that a good many women want the man to be in charge, and are sorely disapointed in them if they cannot exercise that responsibility. How many times I heard that from women and was too dense to realize what I was hearing I can’t recall.
Today the only thing that I think is in our favor is the fact that none of liberalism has worked. We have yet to take advantage of that, but the Mantra Method is about to change that.
#18 by Simmons on 12/29/2008 - 4:52 pm
Speaking of liberalism not having worked. At AR’s website they have a link to a NetTV interview with someguy billing himself the “young turk.” Jared debates the points, and while coming close he ultimately was ineffective. At least he puts his debate into the form of an inquiry into liberalism, but no Mantra. If he would have hit the guy with the Mantra then that clown would have been on the defensive.

They live in a de facto Matriarchy; as well all know, Civilization began with the Patriarchy.
Do away with the Men, do away with the Patriarchs, do away with the Warrior Caste, and the society simply goes soft, and softly spirals downwards.
I look at a town that is falling apart – potholes not being repaired, houses not being kept up, cars not being maintained – and I return with young Men who have USMC OCS posture, and really nice suits.
These Old Men are jealous of what WE have done.
Not supportive – except for their father.

General Comment for a New Year, and the Beginning of new Lives:
As I look at the Twentieth Century, and what the Twenty-First Century is shaping up to be, a few comments based on what we did right, and what he have done wrong, from a Racial perspective.
My concern is that we did a lot of things very correctly under the Prussian Economic and Social Model that Lincoln and those who followed his ideas, like the Progressives, used to great effect.
And all of this had enough sociocultural momentum behind it to kick off the Machine Age, up to the Thirties.
What thwarted all of this was the introduction of massive national indebtedness on a scale that beggars the imagination, and the forced the socialization and internationalization of self-doubt (Freud) on a scale that required many, many co-workers.
They worked for the mass media, notably the newspapers, and undermined us at a profit to themselves, and their advertisers, all followers of Edward Bernays, without whose efforts Uncle Sigmund would have died in well-deserved obscurity, with a needle of cocaine in his arm.
And so, the incredible technological power of the Machine Age was replaced by the tremendous transforming power of crushing indebtedness, until we were shaped into being the useful tools that was needed to crush the Western Nationalist response that developed in Europe.
In time, television – newspapers and movies rolled into one, and more convenient than either, though controlled by the same Racial Enemies – changed the Culture, through changing the words we read, and the pictures we saw.
Then, the two Ages collided; in 1969, as Man – WHITE Men!- went to the Moon, and returned, while the Children of the Sixties left the womb, and came out fighting, determined beyond all reason to destroy the United States of America.
And they have.
Words can not express my rage at having to literally reschool my Nephews daily, helping them to build their capacity for learning, and trying to add new materials to their learning.
Let me repeat – RAGE, which I can barely hold back, as I realize what future they have – they, and the rest of our Race has – unless tremendous efforts take place to reverse this at the margin.
That’s why I didn’t go home to the Hills for Christmas.
It’s a living play of what happens when we shift from offense, to defense, and then abandon defense to the wave of subHumanity that is crushing us.
We…LET…THIS…HAPPEN…TO…US.
And we can DO SOMETHING about this, but it will require working like trapped hebivores, as the carnivores find the cave.
It really is Eloi versus Morlock, every day, from now on.
Fine.
As I told my Nephews, “You were wolves, who thought you were sheep. You now know the Truth, and will develop accordingly.”
Oh, and what is THEIR Mindset when they go to the local churches, and the Megachurch?
“It all comes down to Race, and The Bastards say, ‘Welcome.’”
I think the new hymn might change its title from “Onward, Christian Soldiers,” to “Come ON, Christian Soldiers!”
#25 by shari on 1/1/2009 - 9:53 am
I don’t think the sixties generation had a determination to destroy America. I think they were largely spoiled brats who thought they were wise, in the in crowd, and very smart.

AFKAN I think Tainter is more in order, which reminds me I am finally going to have to pick that up and read. Of course I could be wrong, but I think my broken clock moment is coming around. My big bold prediction is that “vanity liberalism” is the big loser for 2009, the year that the kids find that their demographic size is rather small. I’m sure Obama will try and placate his wine and cheese friends, but I think the necessesity of a simpler order asserts itself. None of the lib kids can explain or even begin to rationalize liberalism, its insulting to even ask them to do so. As for the FCCs they have no concept whatsoever of liberalism, none, so the two forces will collide.
#27 by Simmons on 1/2/2009 - 1:48 pm
A couple of things, one is that Taki’s commentary in “Chronicles” is a slight reflection of the Mantra being posted at his site before comments were canned. The phrase, “Who are these people” will begin to be heard this year. That phrase boils away the fluff and the news and jews trivia people focus on and start to ask the basic questions. Then the Mantra in full strength.

Well as we bemoan our fate at the hands of the Jews, evolution moves on. To me it seems that the Left’s “Left Behind (ers)” are placing the Jews as the new new white man to be despised, and the political right has the Jew as the new ubermensch. A pox on both, but it seems the field is getting more fertile by the day for the Mantra.
#32 by Simmons on 1/5/2009 - 6:09 pm
Bob a question, in reference to the above post, are we at the limits of our current political process or system. By that I mean the anti-white jermiad has seem to carry it to itself to a political end and now its partisians are at odds. Today two different jews seemed to be at polar opposites, one continued on the lamentation that Jesusland still existed and the other lamented the fact that the black leaders in Illinois were still protesting racism and he a “white” man found that offensive.
It seems to me that our system can now not answer anything whatsoever, even Limbaugh is at a loss for words. He acknowledges that the corruption of the Dems does not matter and the only thing that comes to him to rant about is Israel. It all seems dead in the water to me.

That is what we are truly facing, with the developing, inescapable Reality, that the System can no longer cover its many evasions, lies, and outright frauds, particularly in the area of Race.

The older ones know what happens when White Men have had enough, and decide to settle things, one way or another; the ruins of Detroit show what happens when they leave, taking Civilization with them.

Enclosed please fin op ed from today’s Wall Street Journal advocating subordinating American immigration policy to Israeli “security” interests.
(btw, it is time to open a new thread of general comments. this one is too damn long)
Ending the West’s Proxy War Against Israel
Stop funding a Palestinian youth bulge, and the fighting will stop too.
By GUNNAR HEINSOHN | From today’s Wall Street Journal Europe
As the world decries Israel’s attempt to defend itself from the rocket attacks coming from Gaza, consider this: When Hamas routed Fatah in Gaza in 2007, it cost nearly 350 lives and 1,000 wounded. Fatah’s surrender brought only a temporary stop to the type of violence and bloodshed that are commonly seen in lands where at least 30% of the male population is in the 15-to-29 age bracket.
In such “youth bulge” countries, young men tend to eliminate each other or get killed in aggressive wars until a balance is reached between their ambitions and the number of acceptable positions available in their society. In Arab nations such as Lebanon (150,000 dead in the civil war between 1975 and 1990) or Algeria (200,000 dead in the Islamists’ war against their own people between 1999 and 2006), the slaughter abated only when the fertility rates in these countries fell from seven children per woman to fewer than two. The warring stopped because no more warriors were being born.
In Gaza, however, there has been no demographic disarmament. The average woman still bears six babies. For every 1,000 men aged 40-44, there are 4,300 boys aged 0-4 years. In the U.S. the latter figure is 1,000, and in the U.K. it’s only 670.
And so the killing continues. In 2005, when Israel was still an occupying force, Gaza lost more young men to gang fights and crime than in its war against the “Zionist enemy.” Despite the media’s obsession with the Mideast conflict, it has cost many fewer lives than the youth bulges in West Africa, Lebanon or Algeria. In the six decades since Israel’s founding, “only” some 62,000 people (40,000 Arabs, 22,000 Jews) have been killed in all the Israeli-Arab wars and Palestinian terror attacks. During that same time, some 11 million Muslims have been killed in wars and terror attacks — mostly at the hands of other Muslims.
What accounts for the Mideast conflict’s relatively low body count? Hamas and their ilk certainly aim to kill as many Israelis as possible. To their indignation, the Israelis are quite good at protecting themselves. On the other hand, Israel, despite all the talk about its “disproportionate” use of force, is doing its utmost to spare civilian deaths. Even Hamas acknowledges that most of the Palestinians killed by Israeli air raids are from their own ranks. But about 10%-15% of Gaza’s casualties are women and minors — a tragedy impossible to prevent in a densely settled area in which nearly half the people are under 15 and the terrorists hide among them.
The reason for Gaza’s endless youth bulge is that a large majority of its population does not have to provide for its offspring. Most babies are fed, clothed, vaccinated and educated by UNRWA, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East. Unlike the U.N. High Commission for Refugees, which deals with the rest of the world’s refugees and aims to settle them in their respective host countries, UNRWA perpetuates the Palestinian problem by classifying as refugees not only those who originally fled their homes, but all of their descendents as well.
UNRWA is benevolently funded by the U.S. (31%) and the European Union (nearly 50%) — only 7% of the funds come from Muslim sources. Thanks to the West’s largesse, nearly the entire population of Gaza lives in a kind of lowly but regularly paid dependence. One result of this unlimited welfare is an endless population boom. Between 1950 and 2008, Gaza’s population has grown from 240,000 to 1.5 million. The West basically created a new Near Eastern people in Gaza that at current trends will reach three million in 2040. Within that period, Gazans may alter the justifications and directions of their aggression but are unlikely to stop the aggression itself.
The Hamas-Fatah truce of June 2007 allowed the Islamists again to direct all their energy on attacking Israel. The West pays for food, schools, medicine and housing, while Muslim nations help out with the military hardware. Unrestrained by such necessities as having to earn a living, the young have plenty of time on their hands for digging tunnels, smuggling, assembling missiles and firing 4,500 of them at Israel since 2006. While this gruesome activity has slowed the Palestinian internecine slaughter, it forced some 250,000 Israelis into bomb shelters.
The current situation can only get worse. Israel is being pushed into a corner. Gazan teenagers have no future other than war. One rocket master killed is immediately replaced by three young men for whom a martyr’s death is no less honorable than victory. Some 230,000 Gazan males, aged 15 to 29, who are available for the battlefield now, will be succeeded by 360,000 boys under 15 (45% of all Gazan males) who could be taking up arms within the coming 15 years.
As long as we continue to subsidize Gaza’s extreme demographic armament, young Palestinians will likely continue killing their brothers or neighbors. And yet, despite claiming that it wants to bring peace to the region, the West continues to make the population explosion in Gaza worse every year. By generously supporting UNRWA’s budget, the West assists a rate of population increase that is 10 times higher than in their own countries. Much is being said about Iran waging a proxy war against Israel by supporting Hezbollah and Hamas. One may argue that by fueling Gaza’s untenable population explosion, the West unintentionally finances a war by proxy against the Jews of Israel.
If we seriously want to avoid another generation of war in Gaza, we must have the courage to tell the Gazans that they will have to start looking after their children themselves, without UNRWA’s help. This would force Palestinians to focus on building an economy instead of freeing them up to wage war. Of course, every baby lured into the world by our money up to now would still have our assistance.
If we make this urgently needed reform, then by at least 2025 many boys in Gaza — like in Algeria — would enter puberty as only sons. They would be able to look forward to a more secure future in a less violent society.
If the West prefers calm around Gaza even before 2025, it may consider offering immigration to those young Palestinians only born because of the West’s well-meant but cruelly misguided aid. In the decades to come, North America and Europe will have to take in tens of millions of immigrants anyway to slow the aging of their populations. If, say, 200,000 of them are taken from the 360,000 boys coming of age in Gaza in the next 15 years, that would be a negligible move for the big democracies but a quantum leap for peace in the Near East.
Many of Gaza’s young — like in much of the Muslim world — dream of leaving anyway. Who would not want to get out of that strip of land but the international NGOs and social workers whose careers depend on perpetuating Gaza’s misery?
