Great Leader Bob, if someone in the group gets their feathers ruffled point them out to me so I can further loosen the cult’s grip on them. It’s what I do.

– Simmons

Simmons is not offering me the WORSHIP a Great Leader deserves. Despite all his promises, if the choice is between Bob and the truth, he will leave me out here shivering in the cold.

I can live with that. In fact, I couldn’t be at ease with anything else.

What Simmons offers is critical. When someone criticizes me, there are two poles to the possibilities, 1) they misunderstood me or 2) I need some correction. I prefer 1), as any human being would.

But 0) REALLY upsets me. After all my work here, someone, usually Shari, wants more explanation, and most of you go dumb. Simmons says he won’t.

On Stormfront, it is SUCH a relief for an old warrior who says he is used to battling alone to have Lord Nelson or Prometheus jump in on his side.

Yes, I have spent a lifetime fighting alone, but I would not wish that fate on any one of you.

BACK UP YOUR COMRADES. NEVER LEAVE THEM ALONE.

Constructive criticism is infinitely better than empty space. But jumping in where you are needed, as Simmons offers to do, is best of all.

— The FCC Revolt

I am not referring to the federal agency but to the Faithful Colored Companions (FCC) who have slavishly voted for white liberals down through the years.

I TOLD YOU SO!

For years now, while others repeated news items about Iraq and the Jews, I kept insisting that a huge development was on the horizon. While others agreed with each other that all was lost because minorities and anti-white whites formed a growing majority, I kept pointing out that this coalition might be unstable.

In Whitakeronline.org I have said for YEARS that the Faithful Colored Companions were eventually going to want to vote for their OWN. I am the only person who mentions that this happened to the NAACP when, sixty years after its founding, it elected its first BLACK president. The NAACP has been a harmless cash cow for suburban blacks ever since.

There is a huge divide here. Jews and liberal whites are monomaniacally dedicated to the end of the white race. Blacks want stuff for themselves. To anti-whites reparations means a renewed dedication to Racial Guilt and shame on the part of those who don’t like to see whites with colored kids.

To blacks, reparations is a brand-new Mercedes.

REAL power politics is not detailing the Bad Guys and the Good Guys. Power politics is finding out what everybody WANTS. Anti-whites who are being displaced have only one goal, the end of whites.

If we handle it right, the FCC doesn’t want our blood.

It wants our money.

Someone wrote me that I should be more diplomatic.

The relevant part of my reply is here:

When it comes to using a dumb electorate, “diplomacy” (though I would refer to it as something else) is a good idea. When it comes to discussion within a serious leadership group this is not the case.”

“My experience includes a long list of examples. One guy in college would come out to help picket or something, get offended by what somebody said — seldom me — and then, I kid you not, start crying and run off. Sometimes he took others with him.”

“He was ALWAYS a liability.”

In the real rough and rumble pro-whties face you had better get rid of the ones who will run away.

It’s time to stop obsessing on non-racial matters. If someone will run out because of what one old guy says, it’s better for him to run now instead of standing up bravely like respectable conservatives do and then backing out when things get serious.

No one can find a single word in the Old Testament that even vaguely advocates the chastity that early Christians were so fanatical about. So they just don’t THINK about it. No “Christian” thinks about it because he would have to think about the ORIGIN, the REAL origin, of his faith.

But he is REQUIRED to look for every bit of the origin of Christianity in the Old Testament.

If it’s not there, he stops looking for it.

For two thousand years, the absence of this anti-sexual obsession SHOULD have stood out like a sore thumb. It took a heritage of rigid thought control to avoid it.

This is also where our concept of Jews as Supermen comes from.

Here we are, a perfect white Christian society with Traditional Values, and along comes somebody, Satan or the Jews or both, to CAUSE every single weakness and absurdity we carry with us. They did not just take advantage of some obvious weaknesses in our mentality. We were perfect, so they had to CREATE all what was wrong.

This is childish. Enemies do not create your weaknesses, they exploit them. It is up to you to REALIZE what your weaknesses are, even if doing so is HERESY to the Perfect People crowd.

I have told this story before. In 1870 France had a bigger army than that of Prussia, but the Prussians won because they moved faster and from unexpected directions. In 1914 France had a larger available army than Germany, which was fighting on two fronts. But the Germans moved faster and from unexpected directions so the entire war was fought deep inside France. In 1940 France had forces the size of the Wehrmacht, but the Germans moved faster and in unexpected directions and took France again.

I am sure the French General Staff waved their fists at the Germans and talked about how MEAN the Devil Huns were. Because they see Germans as the Devil, the next war would be exactly the same.

In 1775 at Breed’s Hill, the British were slaughtered because they marched in formation European-style while the Americans hunkered down and shot them to pieces. Two wars and almost exactly forty years later, the British were slaughtered at New Orleans because they marched in formation European-style while the Americans hunkered down and shot them to pieces.

British generals told each other that Americans were just DEVILS.

The obsession with chastity came from an old, degenerate version of the Aryan religion called Zoroastrianism, then in its death throes. The idea that it is holy for us to not have children lives on in today’s environmentalism and was instrumental in our Zero Population Growth movement. Today having children is denounced by NOW as evil. All that matters is that the couple is in a State of Love when copulation occurs.

The idea that destroying one’s own race is the holiest of missions certainly did not come from Jews. They exploited what was already in our culture.

The Jews did not CREATE this mental illness, they EXPLOITED it. To Zoroastrians the God of THIS World, Ahriman, was evil, the God of the Next, Ahura Mazda, was good. As Zoroastrianism degenerated, all thoughts of continuing the people of THIS world became evil.

Or we can keep searching in the Old Testament for some hint that sterility is holy.

And worship Jews as Evil Gods.

Be sure there’s someone around to drive you home from Kindergarten.

Utah could not enter the Union until it outlawed polygamy. Right on time, in 1890, a Mormon leader had a Revelation from God. God decided in 1890 that polygamy, which Joseph Smith had forcefully defended as a Key tot eh Kingdom, had to go. This happened to coincide nicely with getting Utah statehood.

Just when Joseph Smith’s prohibition against black bishops became politically untenable, the Lord stepped in and gave the Mormons another Divine Inspiration to decarve that Law from the Sacred Tomes.

Governor David Beasley had his Revelation from God in December 2008, right after he had used the pro-Confederate flag vote get reelected governor, and in the maximum amount of time before the 2000 Republican Convention where he hoped to obtain the vie-presidential nomination.

It must have been a joint Revelation. When the money men turned on the Confederate flag and forced the Citadel to abandon it, Bob Jones IV had a Direct Inspiration to get rid of the flag, too. Also to allow interracial dating.

And the list goes on.

When someone starts saying he is pro-white because of the Bible, I realize that tomorrow he can be ANTI-white because of the same Bible. It happens all the time. The same First Baptist Church in Columbia that hosted the secession convention in 1960 because God was pro-slavery was trying to get affirmative action into its congregation in the 1980s on the basis of the same Bible.

If your loyalty is to words, you can interpret those words into the opposite overnight. “We the People of the United States… and our Posterity” now includes illegal aliens.

What happens when someone who espouses your words is fighting against someone who is of your race?

You get World War II.

I like to level with you. When someone says his feeling for our race is because of the Catholic Church or the Christian faith or a belief in liberty or some other set of words, I back up a little. This is based on lifetime of HARD experience.

I only back off a LITTLE, but I do back off SOME.

As I say, I like to level with you.

In the documentary on the new-found Gospel of Judas, one thing that was mentioned rather shame-facedly was that a major reason Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were chosen as anonical Gospels was because Christians LIKED them. Like any other institution the Church paid attention to the books people favored.

That tookme bck to my childhood, lisening to the story of Christmas inteh St James version. As I said, the dozens of other gospel versions were written largely for intellectual snobs, not the kind of common folk Jesus went out and preached to.

Inspitration does not come ecclusively from bishops or theologians. The last thing Peter was was an intellectual snob. I think believe that believers in general had true inspiration. The popularity and easier-to-read character of the Gospels chosen bothers the documentary-makers. But it makes me more confident that the Gospels chosen SHOULD be the canonical ones.

Nobody EVER thinks in BASICS.

Moslems in huge numbers are new to our society.

While the Jews poured into Northern Europe umpteen centuries ago the religion of our ACTUAL Fathers, Odinism, was being stamped out. “Chistianity” — by which I mean the Wordist institutions that grew up using the name of Christ — did not “discriminate aganst” Odinist holdouts. It KILLED them.

Catholic countries didn’t “discriminate against” Protestants and Protestants countries did not “discriminate against” Catholics.

They KILLED them.

Christian countries did not “discriminate against” Moslems who moved in.

The KILLED them.

We had Jews because our Glorious Traditional Values ALLOWED them.

Our Glorious Traditional Values ALLOWED enemies to exist within our society.

The resident aliens did what resident aliens can be expected to do.

I am NOT a conservative.

Secular historians agree what the greatest American theologian was Jonathan Edwards in the eighteenth century.

Here’s a sample of Edwards’ Puritan Wisdom:

The Eternity of Hell Torments
by Jonathan Edwards

Fourth, the sight of hell torments will exalt the happiness of the saints forever. It will not only make them more sensible of the greatness and freeness of the grace of God in their happiness, but it will really make their happiness the greater, as it will make them more sensible of their own happiness. It will give them a more lively relish of it: it will make them prize it more. When they see others, who were of the same nature and born under the same circumstances, plunged in such misery, and they so distinguished, O it will make them sensible how happy they are. A SENSE OF THE OPPOSITE MISERY, IN ALL CASES, GREATLY INCREASES THE RELISH OF ANY JOY OR PLEASURE.

*********************************

Edwards represented the Calvinist reaction to Catholicism.

The Medieval Church, by which I mean the Wordist institution that grew up using the name of Christ, had an interesting version of “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” They insisted that what a truly Holy Man would do to himself was to starve, go without sleep, wear hair shirts, and effectively castrate himself.

I said EFFECTIVELY because they condemned Origen when he PHYSICALLY castrated himself to remove temptation. Such a cheap out as not allowed. You had to SUFFER the lack of sex your whole life, or God didn’t get any fun out of it.

Protestants never disagreed with this. They felt this suffering was too undemocratic.

In fact, the only outrages Protestants talked about with monks was when monks DID have sex and fun.

Puritans insisted that EVERYONE should get in on the suffering.

How could a people with good, healthy Traditional values like that have ended up declaring that the highest morality consists of destroying their own race?

It had to be the Jews that did it.

PC is a religion, that means it places things off limits to debate behind an esoteric cloud of verbiage. In America that is its weakness leaving it open to a ceaseless barrage of never ending ridicule of its high handedness. But respectables being robe worshipers counter with esoteric nonsense themselves, they lose.

It really is that easy to defeat PC and liberalism there is nothing there but smoke and mirrors, even Dorothy had enough and wanted to ask questions of the witch directly. Dorothy was Mantra thinking before Bob was being Bob its right in front of us.

Enough of my high handedness I have to go back to destroying a Jew’s arguments against Iran. I’m asking him directly what his religion’s end times dictates are versus the crazies of Iran to see if we need to listen to either side in that spat.

– Simmons

One reason people pay any attention at all to the Media is that they still worship status, are suspicious of authority, and don’t know the difference between the two. Once they realize that truth is more valuable to them than a glitzy broadcast, the revolution is already done.

–Pain

One thing that always puzzled Europeans about Americans was that we were very religious and at the same time we were anti-clerical all the way to the gut.

We think of Catholics as the most obedient to religious authority. Yet even American Catholics naturally react this way,

American Catholics are the mainstay of that church throughout the world. A priest once told me that American Catholics benefited from the fact that this is a very deeply religious country.

Unlike other countries, where most people are Catholic simply by default, Catholics here have an attendance record and pay for their churches on a scale that, while we bitch about it, leaves the rest of the world in awe.

Here there are a lot of bitches about the priest shortage. But other countries today produce almost no priests at all.

Practicing American Catholics are known to routinely ignore the Pope’s more extreme pronouncements on birth control and the like.

But they don’t do this for the European reason, Europeans simply don’t take their faith seriously and that is the reason they ignore what the Pope says.

Practicing American Catholics ignore the Curia when it writes up a fashionable statement that capital punishment is evil. This is not an irreligious attitude. They simply don’t think such social dictates are necessary to the Catholic RELIGION.

Ignoring the preacher when he doesn’t make sense is traditional here. We are RELIGIOUS, not SLAVISH.

I think that, in order to follow Pain’s advice, we need to get that back same natural American attitude toward the priest of our PRESNT established religion.

It is important to remember that that attitude is deep in our national consciousness.
I see it on the Internet all the time. That is why constant reference to “repeating what Mommy Professor says” is such a deadly effective tactic in online debate.

Look at the responses. Europeans and South American are always looking for a religious or Intellectual or Titled Authority to adhere to. This Mommy Professor stuff makes this habitual dependence so clear that it even bothers THEM.

But the “Mommy Professor” truth makes AMERICANS on the Net go ballistic.

One of the two people Jesus specifically condemned to Hell was the Jewish High Priest who read and knew the Old Testament backward and forward, as modern preachers recommend as the Path to Heaven. Jesus made it clear that that high priest preached and followed The Law perfectly. He stood at the front of the Temple and proudly depended on his adherence and his reading.

Unseen in the back of the Temple was a sinner and back-slider who meekly admitted his failures, present and future, and begged to be forgiven for them. HE, said Jesus, was saved.

This parable may have meant nothing. Jesus may have just been gassing off.

I doubt it.

It is downright funny that the Bible should say “Wise Men from the East” as a code-word for priests of the Zoroastrian faith.

Today scholars say the same thing, “Ex Oriente Lux”, “Light Comes from the East”

But today they mean that all knowledge and wisdom comes from Israel and Egypt and Mesopotamians on both sides of Israel.

When scholars said “Ex Oriente Lux”, “Light Comes from the East” today they mean that all knowledge and wisdom comes from Israel and Egypt and Mesopotamians on both sides of Israel.

But in Matthew, Israel was the Western Place the Wise Men rom the East came TO.

Today a “Christian theologian” likes to sound profound by denouncing everything he disapproves of in early Christian days as “Gnostic.” It sounds impressive and is nice and vague, like all phrases used by intellectual snobs. .

The actual Gnostics were snobs, too. They said that salvation was not for the common people — you know, the ones Jesus went out and preached to. Salvation was for Intellectuals who Truly Understood the Secrets in the Book.

In early Christian times those Secrets had an Iranian flavor. They were from the Orient of THAT day.

Gnostics separated the God of This World from the True God. In the newly-found Gospel of Judas, Jesus LAUGHS at the Disciples who are sacrificing to Jehovah and explains to Judas that they are worshipping The God of THIS World. If you know anything about Zoroastrianism, which modern theologians don’t, you will immediately recognize the Zoroastrian separation of Ahura Mazda, the Good God of the Next World, from Ahriman, the Zoroastrian Satan from whom we get our Satan, who was the creator and God of THIS world.

The Gospel of Judas was excluded from the canon because it was a Gnostic Gospel BACK WHEN PEOPLE KNEW WHAT “GNOSTIC MEANT.

Theologians and Renaissance “intellectuals” are and were still just snobs.

They just had a different “Orient” in mind.

Yet – and this is part and parcel of the power of widespread color television – see Strom and Humphrey in the context of their times, and see why neither would last for five minutes today.

Thurmond dealt with the First Great Depression by working, and working more, in ever more valuable jobs and professions; he dealt with WWII by enlisting.

Humphrey’s family all but lost their family business, a pharmacy in South Dakota, during the end of the Roaring Twenties. They moved, and stayed in the drugstore business, seeing the First Great Depression as it played out on the Great Plains. Humphrey always want to teach college, and didn’t qualify for WWII for medical reasons. He taught college in DC during the war.

Thurmonds’ life story is quite impressive; Humphrey, that of a man who knows One Big Thing, and ran the table with it.

Both spoke for the tremendous sectional differences that were in place in America, even in 1948 – this, before widespread television.

“Professional journalists” – another archaic “profession” in the day of the blogosphere – are now providing entertaining commentary on the entertainment, as people see the major trends as being pretty much locked in place, and changes only occur on the margin. REAL political changes, take place because a Federal judge says so; the politicians then hide behind his dress.

Ever wonder why the transformational political decisions from the Federal judiciary come, at least as seen by the public, from the men, particularly older, White men?

The Indoctrination of the Self-Proclaimed Greatest Generation seems to have worked; they respond damn near automatically, like beaten dog

— BOB’S NOTE:

“this is part and parcel of the power of widespread color television ”

NEVER FORGET that when you discuss the power the old media had, you are also saying what power the NEW media can have.

Back in the 60s I noted a change in the nature of politicians. No one else understood what I was talking about, as usual.

I put it this way: If a Strom Thurmond or even a Hubert Humphrey were lost for two weeks on a trip and gave a press conference, they would hold a press conference at which they would speak off the top of their heads.

If a New Type politician was lost for two weeks, a Lott or a Dukakis, eh would hole the press conference until he had read over the newspapers and seen the latest polls.

On talk shows, media people always say, “The question is whether he will screw up during the campaign.”

These same media types then bitch about how both sides are so negative. They wonder why the public is not interested in a candidate’s program but only on the dirt.

They just SAID that the campaign IS the dirt. The campaign IS the screwups.

If you want to make a LIVING as a reporter, you send your editor what he wants to PRINT. When he hands out a paper droning on abut some policy initiative, you are thinking about how to use the question time to get him to screw up, to say something Jesse Jackson or NOW can declare is Evil.

“Professional” has only one meaning: You get PAID.

For a “professional journalist” a campaign is the screwups, not policy.

The changeover from the Ole Stroms to the new Lotts came largely because of the simple fact that campaigns meant less and less each time. People elected Strom or Humphrey because they MATTERED, and when Ole Strom or the Ecstatic Frog said something stupid it was just entertaining.

Strom was fighting integration and Humphrey was putting civil rights platforms into the Democratic Platform. Harry Byrd was fighting every expenditure and liberals were pushing whole new areas of taxation. Nobody was going to give up those critical matters over a silly remark.

Today in terms of real policy the only difference between Obama and Clinton is, IN FACT, the color of the skin. Every dime that can REALLY be spent is being spent, every tax that can in real politics be taxed is BEING taxed.

“Civil rights” and every other critical non-fiscal issue is decided it the courts, not in the White House or in Congress. All that is LEFT to vote on is looks. All that is LEFT to report on is verbal screwups.

For being such a “slothful” person Bob Whitaker certainly doesn’t suffer logical inconsistency. That’s because he fully comprehends that one of life’s greatest errors is conceit, for it is the hardest error that anyone has charging himself with.

Understanding this is how you get to know politics. And when BW says, “What creates the future goes unnoticed”, he is simply stating what the conceited don’t see: “Death walks on cat’s feet”.

That’s why you need to be young to get conned into fighting a war. It is invariably too late to discover how you have been betrayed.

There is a reason veterans come back bitter.

But rest assured no “anti-war” type could ever really understand this. They are too busy serving Political Correctness for that.

Also there is another contradiction: A revolution depends upon repenting conceit and fully comprehending how it leads to error. That’s how you get a “leg up” on the opposition.

But don’t worry about the secret getting out. Rest assured, it won’t.

“Death walks on cat’s feet.”

BRILLIANT insight!

My caps:

“A revolution depends upon REPENTING conceit and FULLY COMPREHENDING how it leads to error.”

and

“But don’t worry about the secret getting out. Rest assured, it won’t.”

The secret WILL get out out with our new modes of communication. That is why anti-whites spend such titanic resources and concentrate monomaniacally on suppressing even tiny groups of tattle-tales like us.

Shari won’t settle for something until she UNDERSTANDS it and she is not afraid to ask questions. Her short comments are a major force in keeping our Comments humming.

READ THE COMMENTS!

Every tiny Medieval village contained several makers of ale. The ale had little nutritional value, but it cantained precious calories in a population on the edge of starvation.

Empty calories. Protein was out the question. They were always starved for protein.

If they had consumed the yeast which wa a natural product of the quarts of ale they drank daily, all of which is pure protein, not to mantion Vitamin D, they might have been very healthy indeed.

Then again if the distilled alcohol poured down a wounded person’s throat to help ease the pain of wounds had been used on the wounds …

But the people only listened to Intellectuals and Priests.

What they got, they EARNED.

Pick out one of the bunch for critique, concentrate your fire on that person, but try and do so in an objective way so as to not allow personal feelings turn it into a grudge match. I’ll give a semi-successful example; a guy named Nugent occasionally posts at Liberty Forum and I spotted him instantly as a self selected witch doctor soothsayer for the “Jewish problem” looking to build a small audience who need that kind of thing (kind of like where Duke is right now). I vowed to make that guy useful right to his face so to say since he was in fact nearly useless by trying to be a mommy prof without the endowment. In short I tried to force the concept of the Moot onto him in place of him spewing the esoteric nonsense that requires a low priest to decipher for the children. I doubt we have a Whitakerite with John de Nugent, but there is always hope that a fire was started.

— Simmons

You know what the rule is: we don’t need convert someone into a full BUGS man, we take what you can get us. A kill is better, but a casualty will do.

“a mommy prof without the endowment.”

BUGS is building the set of key expressions UNIQUE TO ITSELF that every successful movement must have.

Our Moot is invaluable of itself. But it REALLY gives me much-needed boost when you tell me tales of your ACTION out there in the field. Prometheus gave me one in the article you are commenting on, and yours was another.

I NEED the boosts I get when I see Lord Nelson and Prometheus and other over in SF practicing their craft on anti-whites and reminding SF members of OUR basics.

Antonio Fini just put a BUGS piece in the Sustains Members section. I was enormously grateful since I am almost always the only one who does that.

The obvious excuse is, “I don’t do that because Bob should have the privilege” Nice try, but no cigar.

“Oh, Lord, what if I put it in when Bob has already put it in, or if I scoop Bob by putting it in?”

In the first place your putting it in too prevents me the continuing embarrassment of looking like n egomaniac whose only purpose is to promote “Bob Blog.” If you put it in, too, it just shows that I am not the only person who thought it was worth SF’s attention.

Putting BUGS pieces into SF would take very little of your effort, but it makes all the difference to me.

This is done so little I faced on Stormfront guy who insisted that I was the only person interested in this BUGS thing.

Our Moot is a heritage we are reinventing. It is critical in itself. But your tales of how you APPLIED our approach in the field and quoting or referring to BUGS pieces in Stormfront and elsewhere give me a boost I NEED.

Help me out, gang!

1. For the first time in history, the general public has access to real information.
It’s additive!!! And is it ever moving fast. Ordinary (intelligent) people everywhere are becoming MORE INFORMED than the insiders. And the standard of what is means to be informed is relentlessly pushing skyward. I have seen these standards move incredibility in just the last 3 years.
The pretenders and frauds have to be very careful in this environment.
Wordism cannot stand against the Internet.
I am to the point where I think the Courts are going to fall to the Internet. And Congress cannot continue in its present form. These institutions are becoming too ridiculous.
In the 1970s the WW II generation stumbled into its dotage and the software industry furnished a coordination platform that revolutionized production and distribution.
Congress, the Courts, and the whole regulatory apparatus moved not one iota. They remain stuck in their 19th century manifestation.
The Baby Boom generation is stumbling into its dotage (it’s mentality is in the Teddy Roosevelt era), clueless that the Internet has abolished ideology in a positive feedback loop that is relentlessly pushing the intelligent segment of public skyward.
The Courts and Congress are beyond reform. Law and accounting practices, academic consulting, and the whole regulatory apparatus (with its ridiculous and relentless posturing) are increasingly becoming jokes. These whole damn arenas are just too atavistic.
Too many highly intelligent people have access to an audience unencumbered by the mommy professors, academic journals, and university press gatekeepers.
You have got to see the positive feedback loop in intellectual standards to understand the Internet. It is a mechanism for forcing intellectual standards skyward.
Political Correctness (and ideology in general) cannot stand against this. I am sure it is impossible.

The saying is that one has freedom until it harms others. After delivering that profundity people walk away feeling Wise and self-satisfied.

The problem is hat they haven’t said anything. Those of us who inhabit Planet Earth live with PEOPLE. Our freedom is what other PEOPLE decide we have. The fellow who just delivered the above chestnut leaves out all reality.

Who decides?
The above piece of Great Wisdom is, “One has freedom until I DECIDE it harms others.”

That is the “freedom” that is granted by every Communist, every fascist, and every slaveholder who ever lived. The Berlin Wall was set up because East Germany decided that the flow of young people into West Germany harmed East Germans.

And it DID.

“One has freedom until it harms others” justifies the Berlin Wall and the Fugitive Slave Laws. When a field hand who cost a man a thousand dollars runs away it definitely harmed him and his family. In fact, the loss of that piece of property could RUIN a small slave owner. To use the Great Wisdom that justifies illegal immigration, “The man who sent someone up North to reclaim his property just wanted a better life for his family.”

That was the way slave owners looked at it. The slave’s freedom harmed his family. That was what Andrew Jackson, who lived on the edge of ruin, viewed his chasing down HIS runaways.

Here is a critical distinction:

It is not that one who says “One has freedom until it harms others” is wrong.

It is not that he is right.

The point is that he is saying NOTHING.

THAT is the reason we are rudderless today. People get paid for saying NOTHING, from the pulpit and from the lectern.

The Bionic Man is here. Genetic selection is rushing toward us. What do we get from Traditional Values preachers and Harvard Ethics professors? They warn us that this power can be misused. They warn us that these powers are dangerous and can be misused.

Well, DUHH!

There is no thing as harmless freedom. There is no such thing as harmless power.

The reason anesthesiology became a medical specialty is because ether can EASILY kill a patient. In fact, with a random spark, it could kill everybody in the operating room. If our only reaction is to outlaw anything that can harm people, every drug on the market would be banned, starting with antibiotics.

Sugar an EASILY kill diabetics. The freedom to sell sugar should end with that.

Certainly automobiles would have to go.

In the onrushing new age, all the people we pay to advise us are saying NOTHING.

They make a LIVING saying nothing.

We have “both sides” and nobody at the wheel.

While “thinking outside the box” has become a tiresome establishment phrase, we in BUGS DO have a different window on the world. As was said in Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, a powerful mind can deduce the whole universe from a piece of fairy cake.

You cannot deduce the whole world by sticking with today’s news headlines.

From my discussion of “The Luv Cult” went on to make a short and concise piece explaining generational changes, the attitude of so-call “Christians” and race in the Old Testament.

I do not so much take issue with what he says as I EXPAND on it.

AFKAN is right that a fundamental change took place in the Counter- or, as he correctly describes it, the NON-Culture of the 1960s.

But, as I said, this Luv Cult is a JOINT effort of BOTH the anti-culture AND the Traditional Values crowd.

Until 1948 South Carolina was the last state in our Regrettable Union to forbid divorce FOR ANY REASON WHATEVER. This was in the name of Traditional Values. In our less gullible terms it said that, once a guy in a dress said the WORDS, the State sanctified them forever.

The latest poll shows 30% of Americans now agree with that old South Carolina view, and that is the lowest percentage EVER. Traditional Values people emphasize the absolute importance of the WORDS and the guy in the dress, which in my case also means the preacher or JP in the coat and tie, beside whose authority children’s genes mean nothing.

“Modern” types agree the children’s genes mean nothing, but they say all that mattes if the emotional state the parents are in at the time. Just as a powerful mind can deduce the universe from a piece of fairy cake, we can deduce the reason our society gets so SILLY from this joint view of “both sides” in our political-cultural debate from this Luv Cult-Maninadress bit.

There is an awfully lot to be considered in the decision to bring children into the world and “both sides” in our mainline debate absolutely refuse to deal with it for the silliest of reasons.
