Tim must not have any old relatives, because he asked me to talk about me.

And I just took a pain pill!

Typing is now fun and I do not have that obsession with making sense that bothers me at other times.

What could you say about me in a Wiki?

First of all, as Tim points out, NOBODY wants to talk about me. Long before they switched sides, Tom Fleming, Clyde Wilson and others ceased contact with me. Considering the decades we had worked together this was hardly a coincidence.

They stuck with me all that time because we were on the same side. They knew what I had done, but only pros did. I was astonished to hear that my 1982 book was being used as a textbook in her son’s school. I’ve seen it cited in grad texts and my first book in the book Beyondism.

There must be a lot more because I found these by accident.

The point is these were professional books. Knowledge of me was not on Donahue.

I was astonished to see myself noticed in each of these cases.

I have a tendency to be on the long-term winning side. But the old saying is that “Victory has many fathers, defeat is an orphan.” So when after two decades of marching and writing I finally was a major force in getting Republicans to unite “Wallace Democrats” with conservatives to elect Reagan, everybody took credit.

Here is a rule most people here know. There are people who do the work and people who know how to get the credit. After the Reagan victory in 1980 it turned out that every Republican leader had been all for this coalition from the word go.

So what would a Wiki say about me? “He wrote the groundbreaking book,” as William Rusher said, “that made the coalition undeniable?”

You would have to read Jeffrey Hart’s review of my first published book in National Review, “Read This One!” and the COVER ARTICLE attack on me to see there was any debate.

After 1980 everybody with influence had said he had always been all for it. These were the powers in the Republican Party.

Anyone who disagreed with them would make an enemy he couldn’t afford.

So are you going to say in Wiki that Bob had pivotal role in forming this coalition?

No way! EVERYBODY had a pivotal role in it.

Because it WORKED.

As Jeffrey Hart pointed, my book sounded genuine because I had BEEN with the grassroots populists on truckers’ strike, the farmers’ strike, anti-busing marches, wildcat coal mine strikes.

But I also had first-hand experience with the Infallible Geniuses of the Communist Conspiracy. Nobody in the grassroots would let THEIR “activists” in, but my tiny Populist Forum was overwhelmed with requests to speak for REAL working peoples’ grassroots protests. So the Communist World said we did it by our heavy conservative funding.

There were three of us, and we didn’t even have a bank account. And regular conservatives would rather fund the CPUSA than us.

National Review, in “To the Nashville Station,” implied we WERE Communists.

What the CPUSA, those Infallible Geniuses, did NOT see was that we were forming the coalition that destroyed their indestructible Soviet Empire.

OK. You are going to do Wiki on Whitaker, explaining just this one aspect of his life: how he was pivotal to a coalition everybody claims credit for.

Lots of luck. And that’s just one chapter.

I had the same sort of role in saving the Space Telescope and stopping racial quotas imposed by IRS in private. They were lost causes when I got in on them and at the finish everybody had been for them from the word go.

So what would you say about me in Wiki?

My hope is that someday history will say, “White people finally realized that this ‘anti-racist’ program was actually genocide aimed against THEM.” Students will read this and say, “Of course they did!”

It’s obvious once it’s done.

I am a genius. I put my finger on what is, in hindsight, obvious.

Try explaining THAT in 500 words or less in Wiki.

Screw it, Tim. You and I have a war to win, and you need to use me while I’m here.

I don’t need a Wiki. I need a WIN.
