Jared Taylor has a piece about Asians joining the racial spoils game, at V-dare today. He says that, “Asians could have chosen to emphasize their common intersets with whites-eliminating AFFIRMATIVE ACTION” “Asians can make it in race-blind competion.”

That is just exactly, the premise that leads to “affirmative action” race blindness. This country was founded and established to be a WHITE country. That never meant that non-whites, such as Indians or Negroes, who resided here, were to suffer all kinds of torment and abuse, but DISCRIMINATION, yes. They were to live under OUR laws and make do as separate minorities.

“Race-blind” is the same as anti-racist, is the same as anti-white. I’m not too sure about Jared Taylor.

This was great!

This time, when I went silent for a while, there was no the radio silence we usually get. There was a set of THOUGHTS that set me to thinking. THAT is where we ae going!

You talked about BASICS.

When I come up with a thought, it often seems to me to be so obvious that I have trouble getting anybody but you to understand how long it took me to get it, and why no one would be likely to EVER come up with it.

One commenter talked about the basic w questions, who what where and why. You don’t get that in group which is trying to impress each other with how many details they know. And that means just about any discussion group I have ever seen.

We are engaged in a war in which all the detailed knowledge in the world won’t win. Pain and Simmons talked about knowledge versus wisdom. They concluded that our definition of Wisdom has nothing to do with the accepted version, which consists ENTIRELY of trying to impress people.

It occurs to me that one never grows up unless he goes through the Porch Talk phase.

A small child wants ANSWERS. He needs discipline and adults who ACT adult. But there comes a time when he begins to have to make his own decisions. As he gets into his teens he needs adults who will help HIM become adult. That means that the adult must stop dictating truth and begin to explain to the teen how he must begin to deal with a LACK of information.

In our society, that time never comes. I remember when I took some grad courses in 1992 I was amazed to see grad students sitting around CRAMMING for the exam. They were doing exactly what they had done during twelve years of grammar school and high school and four ears of college. The professor had done what the grammar school teacher does with pre-teens, putting together an exam to see if the kids could repeat what at they had heard.

I have said that a high-level executive should not HAVE a job description. He MAKES job descriptions. By the same token, no professor is ready to conduct a seminar if he must give an examination at the end of it. If fifty hours of open discussion can’t tell him how well a student is doing, he should go back to teaching grammar school.

What do you MEAN by wisdom? There is the type of wisdom which is just unsubstatiated assertations of truth, but there is also wisdom, as in the ability to use knowledge. Knowledge, like IQ doesn’t go far unless one has the ability to use it effectively.

Socrates said “I know that I don’t know”, which is something that describes a white way of thinking, an admission that there is more to learn, that we DON’T KNOW enough.

But everywhere else, the ‘wise man’ is the one who knows a lot of facts. He has a lot of knowledge, and that knowledge is passed on word for word, as if an heirloom. The ‘wise man’ doesn’t say he doesn’t know, he KNOWS and teaches what he knows. One does not need to think to do this.

But Aristotle, Socrates and Plato gave tools to obtain knowledge, to analyse information. A means of understanding, and it is this desire to understand which has driven the west.

re: DEDICATION

When I hear the dedicated few speak, I simply cannot understand why there aren’t more people who believe as deeply as they do and, listening to them, are not inspired enough to similarly dedicate their lives to the cause.

There are many people who strongly sympathize with the cause but there is an underlying feeling that these views are just a reactionary view to an ever-changing world, a world that will find a way to survive and thrive in new circumstances that we cannot even imagine (At least this is recognized here with genetic engineering). The result of this feeling is that despite knowledge of issues and immersion into this subculture, there is still a lingering doubt. (I believe this is why WOL focuses on HOW rather than WHAT to think).

I also believe that a sense of doubt is normal, because most of us are human, after all. We cannot take countless people screaming at us, arguing against us and naming us an evil warned of by the Bible while remaining so steadfastly committed.

I haven’t got a clue what makes someone so sure that they KNOW and are bold enough to desire to and change the world and are unshakable enough to pursue it fully. To call that ‘chutzpah’ is an understatement.

People in this camp are followers at best and I don’t think that followers can be converted into leaders. Bob noted recently that leadership training is an oxymoron. I would say it’s a waste of time an energy to try to persuade them. Alchemy may be a more fruitful pursuit.

Shari,

Aldous Huxley used to say, “If you want to solve your problems, learn a new way seeing”.

It is a heroic thing to attempt to throw off a governmentally established religion. Accordingly, BWs phrase, “Political Correctness is a Religion” is not a slogan.

There has never been a governmentally sponsored religion more widely and globally established than the religion of Political Correctness.

The fingers of PC’s scope are panoramic, yet also concentrate right down to the microscopic, a flow tide of awesomely subtle influences, deliberately propagated, multi-faceted and robust, legally, ideologically, and spiritually. Political Correctness is as thoroughgoing an established religion as there ever was in all of history.

Popes, Pastors, and Imams should eat their hearts out, there is not an “official religion” recognized today that even remotely compares to the influence and scope of the world’s premiere established religion of Political Correctness (established by almost every government in every country on earth).

Yet this religion is vulnerable, as enormous, pervasive, and well-supported as it is.

The knowledge of one man can take it down.

Words are first and foremost lies. Yet true words, properly arranged and chosen, coming from even one man, can change everything. This is the contradiction of Wordism.

The trick is to convey this unsettling knowledge, to convey its truth. That is the work of “poets” (”poets” in the broad sense of a persons skilled in the arts of influence).

The “poet’s” job is to make accessible what otherwise would not be accessible. And important knowledge does get conveyed. It finds ways to make itself accessible. Its very importance drives it. Persons skilled in the arts of influence find it. Steadily but surely it makes its way into the culture.

That is what BUGS is really about, enlightenment for “poets”, seeding the culture. That is why physical (racial) separation doesn’t matter. Separation is a tactic that is beside the point.

The point is taking down the established religion of Political Correctness, a heroic undertaking.

In that we save our race.

You’re brilliant Bob. But, the myths all say that Odin gave his eye for wisdom, not knowledge. The Norse reads “wisdom.”

————————–

One reason we know that these myths hold the most ancient readings is because “Odin” frequently appears in alliterative poetry alongside “wisdom“, and in all the other Germanic languages, including proto-Old Norse his name begins with a ‘w‘ as in Woden and Wuotan.

“Wisdom” to our forefathers meant “way of perceiving, way of thinking,” which is what it means to me today.

Odin did not need knowledge, because he made everything, say the myths. Odin was no knowledge-worshipping Gnostic; Gnosticism, like Arianism, was an Egyptian-born mystery cult. As you know, the Gnostics believed there was magic in Knowledge, and so they worshipped it.

Further, when the Oriental claims that he pursues “wisdom“, it shows that he doesn’t know what he is talking about. It shows that he cannot separate rote-learning from reality. Orientals can’t tell knowledge apart from wisdom. Wisdom, as opposed to knowledge, requires creativity, which they don’t have. So to the Oriental, wisdom is something mysterious because they don’t really understand it. So when the Mandarin wants to force his knowledge on the neophyte, he calls it “wisdom,” because no one in the Orient really knows what that is, but it sounds really important.

However, Odin’s sacrifice of his eye is always associated with “wisdom,” a way of thinking. At least that’s what the myths themselves say.

This is not to take away anything from what you are saying. If you think about it, it expands on it!

But what I am really thinking is that if the West makes it out of the current genocidal Deluge, your works could possibly sell like hot-cakes. So we don’t want future generations to say, “What is Bob raving about here? The myths all say ‘wisdom,’” lest you lost some credibility, which no one here wants to happen.

Now just why this expands on what you are saying is that knowledge” is not at all a “way of thinking.” Isn’t rote learning a form of knowledge in the first place?

Anyway, you won’t believe me. But you are still the best at what you do.

One of the most pathetic things in the world is the way young Indian boys are taught the ancient Hindu scriptures, the Vedas. They have to learn millions of words by heart, and pronounce them in exactly the same way as their teacher was taught, and their teacher’s teacher was taught, back to the time they were first written 4000 years ago. If they stress one wrong syllable, or pronounce a word in the wrong way, they get whacked with a stick and they have to go back to the start and do it all over again. That’s how the ancient sanskrit language has been preserved.

What these brown skinned ‘learned men’ don’t realise is that the Aryans who first wrote the Vedas all those centuries ago would have laughed at the idea that their stories should be preserved the same forever.

The big difference between Whites and non-Whites is an understanding of the difference between form and content. The Red Indian brave thought that wearing a buffalo hide would give him the strength of a buffalo. The modern African thinks that having a European college degree makes him intelligent. And the brownskinned Hindu priests think that learning an ancient text by rote gives them Wisdom.

ME:

But this reenforces our point that the fact that Indians regard their Aryan ancestors as the ideal is a major plus in the age of genetic engineering.

Herodotus spent his life trying to prove how the Greek gods were descended from Egyptian gods, precisely as we now try to trace everything since the opposable thumb back to the Middle East. Even Politically Correct history has rejected that dead end. But it did so only after the relationship of the Indo-European languages was discovered, and it has been trying to get rid of the implications of hat discovery ever since.

Part of the Politically Correct effort has been to say that Western Civilization developed entirely from the rediscovery of a few writers like Plato and Aristotle. There was indeed something unique about the Socrates-Plato-Aristotle trio, but it has nothing to do with Egyptian culture.

Suddenly there appeared three men who learned a WAY OF THINKING from each other. Political Correctness concentrates entirely on learning by rote what each one said, but that completely ignores the point that is so obvious we don’t see it.

Rote is Middle Eastern. Thousands of Middle Easterners, like million today, had A Final Truth but none of them had a WAY OF THINKING. In any other society, Plato would have quoted the Truths of Socrates and Aristotle would have quoted him, cautioning his students not to wander from The True Way.

Every society, including Bushmen, has THAT.

A Way of Thinking is as alien to Final Truth as man is to animal. A parrot or a tape recorder can be a Mommy Professor.

The reason finding the works of Plato did not suddenly turn the West from Barbarism to progress is because the Socrates got his approach directly from the ancient Indo-European Moot. He took it for granted that truth came from open discussion. This concept was totally alien to every basis bushman society or Egyptian society stood on.

The Pharaoh had to go our every day and make sure the sun came up with a memorized formula. The Moot assume that truth was up for grabs. That is why Odin gave an EYE for KNOWLEDGE and not for WISDOM. Wisdom is final. It is subject to interpretation, but never to challenge.

A way of thinking raises man above parrots and tape recorders and Pharaohs and Bushmen. Every animal has its Final Truth.

I think this are much better for us then we have given ourselves credit for.

Apparently, Geraldine Ferraro attacked Obama on the basis of RACE – and then, not willing to do the pro forma apology, announced SHE is being criticized because she is WHITE.

Yes – the used the “W” word!

Apparently, the Obama Moment just might lead to the End of an Era.

More details to follow.

“Hey! It’s ALRIGHT to be WHITE! The DEMOCRATIC Party said so!”

I suspect John McCain just poured himself a double, and thought to himself, “The thrill of victory…”

I thought about you at the weekend Bob, when I was watching TV. I saw a programme about the ’sophisticated’ Masai tribe of Africa. Later there was a documentary on the 4,000 year old ice man discovered in the Austrian Alps in the early 90s. He wore a ‘primitive’ fur coat and leather shoes.

I wonder how many other viewers noticed that the ‘primitive’ white man of 4000 years ago was way ahead of the ’sophisticated’ black man of today.

We are here because of Bob; he is our seminar leader, and he is training us to carry on his way of thinking.

In one article he summed up why he is so optimistic:

“All things come to him who waits…..”
“Provided that he worketh like hell while he waiteth.”

So, why are we sitting idle pining for him to return? It’s OUR job to keep this seminar going.

Since I have neither the life experience nor the intelligence to create new content worthy of posting, I am going to post a few classic WOL Blog and BUGS articles. What I would like to ask of you, is not to rehash the flaws and original comments in these articles, but what Bob wants us to do.

Expand on and interconnect them with existing and new concepts.

Some of the comments on “Institutionalization” could not differentiate between between getting a job in an established institution and being sentenced to life in the penitentiary. If you DON’T THINK about what I said, you get fixed on the word “institution” and decide that anything that has lasted more than half an hour is an institution.

YFF confused democracy and freedom. He asked, if an electorate decided it wanted Hate Speech Laws, isn’t that freedom?

No, it is the democracy that the Bill of Rights was written to protect us from.

mderpelding wrote that I was wrong about the instability of multi-racial states because there are so many different opinions in homogeneous states. Sometimes just stating a proposition in plain English is the answer to it.

I have a similar problem with words like “starvation.” Nobody knows what it means anymore. Starvation is not malnutrition. Every Pharaoh was severly malnourshed. Every Pharaoh had worms in his gut. If a child or an old person were in your care and he tested out the way every Pharaoh did you would be subject to CRIMINAL penalties.

But no Pharaoh ever STARVED.

Our civilization is only one in history where STARVATION is considered intolerable. Which means that whern I mention how white people have eliminated starvation outside of BUGS, I get a lecture about how the white man allows malnutrition.

When you comment, a sense of proportion is helpful.

A multiethnic state must be a propositional state, that is, based on words rather than on natural identity. By definition such a state cannot allow freedom of speech. If the only unity is based on a proposition, then it cannot allow anyone to say anything that challenges the proposition.

America could allow freedom for different propositons to compete precisely because it was based on a natural identity of whites.

It is not entirely accidental that Hate Laws are jailing people all over the world for queestioning the proposition on which Politially Correct society is based. Such infringements ALWAYS expand unless the root cause, propositional unity, is removed.

According to the movies, every ancient Spartan looked exactly alike. Each had very black hair, brown eyes, and so forth. According to the new business of restoring the paint on ancient sculpture and ancient pictorals, the warrior level in Ancient Greece looked a lot like the average white American circa 1800.

Hollywood would like to present ancient Greeks as black, with a racially balanced mix. But we have heard too much abotu Indo-Europpeans for that, so they are as dark as Hollywood can make them. Just as Hollywood’s (and PBS’) “realistic” portrayal of Classical times includes gray stone statues no Roman would have tolerated and gray stone buildings likewise, the ancient Greeks are now uniformly dark and ancient Palestine and Egypt have a racially balanced upper crust.

In Cleopatra, Richard Burtion, playing Mark Antony, was screaming, “Why do statues have no eyes?!” Even then historians knew that they DID have eyes. Bright blue ones. In the New York Metropolitan Museum I saw an art piece from about 500 BC in an art museum. It consisted of two wires holding up two orbs painted as eyes. It was apparently an abstract from 500 BC, and they titled it “eyes.”

The eyes were blue.

Nothing else is quite as fake as Politically Correct “realism.”

p

Often when one thinks about it enough, one begins to realize how obvious something is. One finally realizes he should stop being indirect and deal with the question. In other words, state the question plainly and then deal with THAT.

We had to deal with differing racial IQs for a long time because the establishment line was that there was NO racial difference. They dealt with all indications to the contrary by screaming “HITLER!” and the Greatest Generation got on their bellies.

But they always overreach. They could have minimized differences, but their homicidal insistence on IQs being EXACTLY the same, which was essential to “all races are the same,” left them in a position even the moral cowardice of the Greatest Generation could not protect them from forever.

Some of us just wouldn’t quit.

According to historians no one ever wins against the establishment. You won’t read it, but the fact is that even most of the loony left now concedes that racial IQs are different. It was amazing how little storm was raised by The Bell Curve, and one of the leading mainline psychology journals had a lead article by Rushton and Jensen.

But now that the pros have chimed in on us amateurs who fought this fight when it was tiny, they want to go ahead with IQ. But IQ is not really the point. The POINT of hitting on IQ a generation ago was because that was VULNERABLE.

One factor was the increasing familiarity with blacks that would be a part of the future. Today there are very few whites, even in Europe, who are totally out of touch with real blacks as the constituents of Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota, whose single-handed fanaticism on civil rights in the Senate in the 1940s led to the 1948 Democratic platform.

Humphrey wasn’t appealing to a black constituency. He was appealing to fanatical civil righters who had never seen a black outside of Jackie Robinson.

The simple fact is that, except for Obedience Trained Greatest Generation and Mommy Professor’s special darlings, it is impossible for someone who knows the mass of blacks to believe in equal innate intelligence. So we hammered on that.

And won.

But our quest was not to make a god out of IQ. People who make a god out of IQ find that the grants come in if they then worship the high-tested IQs of Jews and Orientals.

But if one does not take this first necessary victory as the Key to Final Truth, what is one left with?

Now, precisely in the face of this IQ bit, it is essential for us to return to the first question. How are races different? Let us ask the plain question: why is it that whites developed a Western Civilization that makes all other Great Civilizations look like abysses of slavery and animal-level technology? What we are asking now becomes obvious: Why is our HISTORY different?

In other words, the question is not something indirectly defined by IQ tests or given a mystical meaning by “Christianity.” The question is the question: Now, precisely in the face of this IQ bit, it is essential for us to return to the first question. How are races different?

The question is not IQ. The question is history. So the answer is where we started: in history.

History today says that civilization is entirely a matter of books. When Political Correctness was getting started the Greatest Generation was just beginning to roll over and play dead. That was in the 1950s. So history said that there was Egypt which led to Greece which led to Rome.

Then all was darkness as the Human Mind, which was contained in writings that went from the Egyptians to the Greeks and then to the Romans, were LOST. All was darkness. If you do not believe anyone could take this seriously, read Foundation and A Canticle for Leibowitz, science fiction books which reflected this time and this view.

Yes, people took it seriously. But if you state it in plain English everybody says that nobody takes this seriously. Then, the minute they relax, they go back to Greece and Rome and the “Dark Ages.” One of the major problems with analyzing what crap this is is getting anybody to recognize it when it is put into plain English.

So Politically Correct History says that with the right books all men are equal. All men, it says, have an equal right to those books and therefore to everything what the white man has done. ALL OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS DEPENDS ON THIS VERSION OF HISTORY.

Our present society was built but the Greatest Generation when they came out of the armed forces in World War after years of intense Obedience Training. They looked for new institutions to boss them around.

I used to work in prisons. Yes, smart ass, WORKED there! I could leave when I wanted to!

Very soon one runs into institutionalization, people have been in institutions so long that, despite the fact that they bitch as loud as anybody else, they don’t WANT to get out.

Like the Greatest Generation, they bitch and moan about Authority kicking them around, but they know no other way to live.

Prison is the ultimate Welfare State, It is the nearest to true Communism that a real human society can get. In an American prison, one is guaranteed “three hots and a cot,” and those three hot meals are INFINITELY better than the ones the average Moscow resident in the whole history of the USSR.

The space allotted to a prisoner is twice that for those in nuclear submarines.

His living space is comparable to one of a family living in a Moscow apartment under the USSR. And try to remember that people all over the USSR FOUGHT for the privilege of living in Moscow. When people came home after work in Moscow, they would get out on the exercise yard, the Moscow streets, and walk like New York immigrants in the 1890s when they lived 500 to 600 per acre.

Unlike the 1890s immigrant or the Moscow workers, the prisoner was guaranteed as much as he could eat when he came in from the yard. Prisons are kept relatively clean, even sterilely hygienic most of the time, since there is a lot of labor around to clean. In Alcatraz, Al Capone was referred to as “the wop with the mop.” When you mop, you get out of your cage.

Prisons are a hell of a lot cleaner than and just as safe as Harlem or the Barrio, to which most prisoners return.

But it is not he OBJECTIVE conditions make for institutionalization. People come to prefer having their whole lives controlled down to the last detail.

I hate to be down on the Great Drama of Prison Life, but all that stuff they are doing in there is childish. Grown men don’t run around twitching their fingers in Gang Signs or Proving Alpha like a bunch of chimpanzees, by confrontation and lifting weights.

Prison life never rises above the Kindergarten level. Which makes it a perfect refuge for the none-too-bright.

Yes, the announced average IQ for prisoners is often above 100. In a population made up mostly of blacks and Hispanics.

If you dispute the official figures, try to get prison authorities’ permission to check it.

Sounds like the good old USSR, doesn’t it?

Brian, you bring up more good points. I think the IQ debate is another major waste of time. I do think the black on white crime issue has a place for “entry level” pro-Whites or as an issue to get peoples attention to the race issue.
But for us at BUGS, and for others who understand the situation, we must stay focused on the genocide issue. This is not to say that people shouldn’t be studying the IQ issue, for this there are specialists, like the people who go to Amren conferences.
But BUGS must focus on the reversal of the genocide against the White race.
The one thing I wonder about is the future of BUGS? Will BUGS ever evolve into something else besides an Internet learning session and base of Mantra spreading operations? What is our role once Whites do start resisting their genocide in larger numbers? Is this something we can even plan for? Or do we just keeping on how we are and allow nature to take its course?
The best I can tell is BUGS is training us for future leadership. So its not that BUGS will turn into some membership organization, but its students will be better prepared to lead Whites in the future.
Maybe Bob can give us his vision? Bob, what is your main objective for US, the students of BUGS? Are we purely Internet activists, or are we leaders in training? What should we be visualizing ourselves as in the future?
At what point will you feel like BUGS was/is a success?
– Z

Z, there was a short, best-selling book in the 1960s by the man who made Avis a success. In one section he dealt quickly with “job descriptions” for senior executives. He said,

“If a senior executive needs a job description, fire him.”

At that level, if a man can’t figure out for himself what needs to be done, he should be down in the ranks with the other people whose job descriptions HE makes up.

I want you to DO the Mantra, priority One, and meanwhile expand on Mantra thinking. Mantra thinking is stepping back and looking at the whole picture. Instead of answering each argument of the other side, you step back and put THEIR case in plain English. More often than not, that alone destroys their whole Cult stand.

This training is indispensable for leadership.

What IS a “leader?” A leader, as opposed to the rank and file I mentioned above, is one who looks at the whole picture and fits others into it. He leads because he sees a way through the details.

I get a quiet laugh out at the words, “Training for leadership.” That’s an oxymoron.

Socrates did not TRAIN Plato. Socrates never got a PhD and he never cared whether his teaching was a success or not.

I am giving you exercise in a way of thinking that is indispensable for leadership. But I can’t train you for leadership, or I WOULD HAVE ALREADY GONE WHERE YOU WOULD LEAD.
