Some Actual History
The greatest victory ever won was indeed World War II. But it has little do with people in uniforms. It was fought in the world of propaganda and intelligence. As usual, by the time the shooting began the real war was over. It can be told today as it could not be before.
As the 1930s progressed, the Soviet Union and the whole world of intellectual supporters of the Marxist revolution were in desperate straits. After the October Revolution in 1918, Communists took over no more countries for a quarter of a century.
From the Marxist point of view, things were disastrous by the 1930s. The world was terrified by the successful revolutions in Europe in the 1920s and every one of the Marxist revolutionary governments was taken down by internal forces within a year.
In fact, by the 1930s, there had not only been no more successful Bolshevik revolutions, but every one of them that succeeded briefly had been tossed out of power by the very people Lenin and Trotsky had thought would rise against the capitalists.
Let us now stop for a moment and state that this disastrous situation was recognized only by the Marxist left. They were in the business of real power. To the commentators then and historians now, the whole situation was just a jumble of competing ideologies and personalities But for the tens of thousands of revolutionary Marxists there was only one bottom line: We are losing.
In fact, since the Bolshevik seizure of power in 1918, there had been only two successful national revolutions, one in Italy and one in Germany. By 1935 anti-Communism was growing on all strategic fronts, and the whole world had been immunized against Bolshevism by the actual short-term takeovers of revolutionaries in a few state and a counterrevolution.
By 1945, half of Europe was handed over to the Communists and anti-Communism had been discredited or, in the case of fascism, crushed. The Red Scare which had beaten Communism during the 20s and 30s was now discredited.
But unless you know what Wordism is, what a REAL war is about and other basics you are living in a different world from REAL power.
First of all, we are all aware that each major religion has a number of opposing parts. We also know that each part is very far from the actual teachings of its original prophets They are institutions, each one developed in an environment of institutional survival.
But it hard for people to think of Karl Marx as anything but The One Successful Prophet. So when I talk about Communists and anti-Communists, Stormfronters see anti-Communists in the plural, but the Bolsheviks as one, unbroken plot by Jews or Trotskyites versus Stalinists or Illuminati or socialists.
Nothing is more likely to be denounced by every branch of anti-Communists than the idea that Communism also evolved, that it is no more pure Marxism than the Eastern Orthodox Church is Perfect Christianity. Stormfronters feel that there is the True Church Versus the Devil, and anyone who humanizes the Devil or sees Marxism as an institution is on the side of Satan.
This is not the way one plays the adult game of power politics.

BWs post is extraordinary and important, because it is again about the BASICS everybody forgets.
And what everybody forgets is that the tyrants we are up against carry out a political dialogue that in fact presents a unified front. The two parties agree that “We, the People” should only discuss what “We” OWE THEM and must sacrifice for THEM!
The hell with what we want and what we deserve. The only semantics that are permitted involve what THEY WANT and ARE OWED (according to them).
This is ancient. This is the ancient dialogue between an oppessor and the oppressed.
BW’s post is excellent guidance in practical politics. I hope Horus is paying attention.
Using the Concept of Wordism
Posted by Bob in Coaching Session, Political Correctness on 07/09/2009
One of the big arguments for universalism is how much alike the Great Religions are. But if you recognize the disease of Wordism and you want to get back to actual concepts of Christ or Buddha or mohammed, these “common” growths of the institutions that grew up in their names if the first thing you must jettison.
As one commenter said, I seem to love Christ and hate Christianity.
I see Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism as wordist institutions that grew up after Jesus, Buddha and Mohammed. They are, in the worst sense of the word, growths, like cancer.
And they are, indeed, very much alike. The laws which govern the survival of any institution are very much alike. So Christianity was very much at home with Roman slavery and is very much at home with etting rid of the white race today. That’s how institutions are.
With long, long Commentaries and so forth what Christ or Buddha actually said becomes incrusted with the same wordist effluvia.
It is precisely by getting rid of “what the Great Faiths have in common” that one can begin to get back to the message. Wordism is one of our BASICS. Let’s USE it.
Self Hate Means No Future

I just said that the blacks were almost certainly right that Obama’s win would have been far greater had he been white. That is heresy for conservatives, but am anti-liberal, not conservative. The only purpose “conservatives” have is to be a harmless opposition .
I’m not harmless. So let me agree with the liberals on another point they constantly make which every professional conservative denies:
It’s racial.
For National Review, True Western Civilization consists of a sterile pedophile in a dress shouting at the ceiling in a dead language. That is the kind of “opposition” the establishment thrives on.
In the broadest sense the opposition is as sterile as the establishment. Political Correctness offer us the future of an ant colony. Conservatives differ with them only in the nature of the ants they want.
Political Correctness sees a brown stagnant future where mankind, each one of which is a carbon emitter, will fit in with the stagnant environment.
National Review sees a future Latin America, where a racially mixed population concentrates on going to church and living according to the dictates of a sterile ruling class.
In both cases one’s society is dedicated to guilt. Young people can spend their lives trying to appease God for their Original Sin or they can spend their lives being sterile to keep down their carbon emissions. In both case they are Born in Sin and deserve less than nothing.
Liberals and conservatives insist that any other scenario smacks of Racism. They are perfectly correct. This all started with white self-hatred.
Once you learn self-hatred, it spreads to the rest of your thinking.
Conservatives now insist they are far more anti-white than liberals. They are certainly more DESPERATELY anti-white. They want all humans to be guilty of being human. Political Correctness rests on the same foundation.
2008 in Historical Context
Posted by Bob in History, Musings about Life on 07/06/2009
I knew a whole cadre of young people who loved Reagan because he ended the political exhaustion of the 1970s. They are never mentioned in the press or by conservatives.
A person coming of age in the 1970s was raised on the idea that his world would see no growth. The Environmental Protection Agency and conservation were the focus of attention. No one but me seems to know where this left a young person.
He had nothing to look forward to. He was superfluous, particularly if he was a white male looking for a job.
In other words, it was just like today.
Back then the big political buzz on the right was that conservatives and conservationists should make common cause.
And, of course, the conservative buzz was also the old “to go after the minority vote.”
I have been this way before.
By definition, the buzz is set up by the establishment and its conservative tagalongs.
One of the most critical signs of 1980 end of the old buzz is, AS ALWAYS, the least remembered. Reporters were climbing all over Washington trying to find conservative contacts.
They didn’t **KNOW** any of us, and they said so. PBS even had ME do a couple of shows for them in the process of trying to find tame conservatives. What if the press in 1932 simply did not KNOW any liberal Democrats?
They would have been laughed at. The 1932 media was conservative, but they were also professionals. The 1980 failure was a professional humiliation, so no one mentions it now.
The 1980 media had been trapped in its own buzz, and “Republican spokesmen,” right up to Election Day, meant moderates.
The reality of the 2008 election is totally opaque to anyone who keeps up with the political buzz, which means anyone who makes his living commenting on today’s politics. If he worried about anything else he wouldn’t be published. This is not a conspiracy. It is just that every editor knows what people want to read about, and that is things like criticism or praise of Obama. They are publishing for today’s
audience, not for accuracy about the future.
Political reality is that the Democratic rank and file, which is hard left, almost always chooses someone who is too far left for political practicality. Nixon was very unpopular in 1972, but they chose MCGOVERN to oppose him.
It was HILARIOUS to watch Democrats nominate one MASSACHUSETTS lefty after another and get crushed at the polls. In 1988 Bush Sr. was so far behind Dukakis in the polls that National Review declared Dukakis’ election absolutely inevitable.
I said, “He’s a Massachusetts liberal. He’ll lose.”
Whitaker Basics again. Simplism.
The Democrats who do the nominating did not like Carter’s image and they did not Clinton’s image. They wanted a New England liberal. This time they hit jackpot.
McCain, like Obama, was incidental to the BUZZ Process. McCain was the Republican who had made himself beloved by the Buzzers. What astonished me during the campaign was that the media actually REMEMBERED they had once loved McCain.
Usually that sort of thing is simply forgotten by everybody, but a number of commentators actually DID mention that the McCain the entire media was damning had recently been beloved of them as the perfect liberal’s conservative.
The present administration is a return to the 1970’s abandonment of any real future. I came up with the certainty that space exploration and new technology would lead into an unimaginably exciting future. Older people were jealous of the great things in store for the young. Precious few older people are jealous of the young ones now.
The buzz has replaced the old time future of a Heaven of Progress and space colonization has been completely displaced by a lifetime dedicated to avoiding the Hell of the Moment. You are now a Carbon Emitter, an Earth Destroyer. If you are young, your life must be devoted to sacrifices to make up for your Original Sin of being human.
We are back in the 1970s.
So Where do we go from here?
When the 70s came, I had spent a lot of years getting ready for it. I had my fifteen minutes of fame getting Reagan elected.
I am more ready for today than anybody else, so I will START addressing that next.
A hint: the 70s malaise came from the politics of self-hatred. We’re back to that.
Political Reality
Posted by Bob in Coaching Session, History on 07/06/2009
Herbert Hoover went from overwhelming victory in 1928 to total defeat in 1932 because there was an economic collapse on his watch. The Democrats went from one of modern history’s most crushing defeats because they had gotten America stuck in an unsinkable war.
By 2008 George W had accomplished BOTH. What is astonishing is that, having done what Hoover did in 1932 and Democrats did in Vietnam, Bush’s defeat was not even close to the drubbing his two predecessors got for half the reason.
Political logic says that a Vegetarian Party ticket with an Australian bushman on the ticket could have beat Bush in 2008.
What is astounding is not the new black president, but the fact that Bush got a single electoral vote.
And the blacks are perfectly correct. If Obama had not been black, he would wiped Republicans off the map.
Are Stalinists Conservatives?
Posted by Bob in Coaching Session, Political Correctness on 07/06/2009
The bewildering and contradictory set of groups that are listed as “conservative” is easily explained.
Any group that opposes established liberal doctrine is defined as conservative. They can be libertarian and militantly atheist like Ayn Rand’s Objectivist or they can be fanatically theocratic, like Islamic militants. They can be fundamental Protestant or Tom Fleming’s total papists. All are defined as conservative or rightist.
One of the funniest examples of this was when the media started declaring old-line Stalinists in Russia as “right-wingers.”
As usual, conservatives bitched about the people they had fought almost alone to the death being defined as belonging to conservatism, but they MISSED the critical point they could have made from it.
One thing that the media let slip here was that Stalinists were now conservatives because old Communism was no longer as a part of “progressivism.”
Such is the cost of failure.
The one thing the established religion monomaniacally hides if the obvious fact that there IS “an established point of view.” There is absolutely no other way to explain the sudden change of Marxist-Leninists to conservatives except by the fact that they no longer fitted into the ESTABLISHED “progressive” framework.
Conservatives did not make that point. Conservatives did not even REALIZE that point.
That is why conservatives are so useful to the establishment. They NEVER see the POINT.
I have said many times that I am the least conservative person you are ever likely to meet. The MOST conservative people you could possibly meet make the editorial board of the New York Times.
They like the way things are going. The kept opposition thy call conservative represent a few bumps on the road, and very small bumps at that, as we can see from the 1994 Contract With America and the results of the Republican Ascendancy until it totally collapsed in 2008.
In the real world, “conservatism” is a way to make a living. Professional conservative pimps like this writer was spend most of their time finding out what the establishment opposes and then getting checks from people who want to object to it. Their only function is to provide people who don’t like the way things are going with the illusion that they are opposing it.
That is reality I find it very heard to get across.
It is the ONLY important reality. To get anywhere, you have to start with hard reality.
Not with wise-sounding analyses of what was just said in the newspaper, but with time and hard thought dedicated to the real world you are trying to redirect.




The Mantra and We the People
Posted by Bob in Coaching Session, Comment Responses, Mantra on 07/10/2009
As Sam Dickson points out, he and I can remember time when immigrants were, believe it or not GRATEFUL. If you find this hard to believe, you will find it even harder to believe who they were grateful TO.
Immigrants were not grateful to a WHAT. They were grateful TO AMERICANS. This is almost forgotten example of the BASIC “We the People” that Dave pinpoints below.
Almost all of you have been raised in a time when immigrants are not grateful at all. The few who do see their being allowed to come, credit this to The System, to the Propositional State.
During the 1980 campaign Reagan asked us to make suggestions on the campaign. I alone, as usual, asked Rusher to tell Reagan to change to the We the People line. Up to then, like all conservatives, the ads had talked about how lucky you little people were to live under the SYSTEM, all hail the SYSTEM! In short, they were Wordist.
I, as usual alone, said we should talk about the American PEOPLE, how the PEOPLE were bringing America back to life. Those of you who may remember the campaign remember the result. The campaign managers took that idea and RAN with it. Reagan started his American Heroes campaign, showing people running up their flags and singling out regular people who did great things.
This was two decades before 9/11, and it succeeded like wildfire. Instead of stale discussion of institutions and history, it showed present-day Americans.
Until then, everybody in the campaign ignored the fact that Carter won in 1976 on a slogan of “We want to make America as good as its people are.”
Nobody ever got Inside-the-Beltway Fever as fast as Carter did when after 1976. Within a year he was bitching about how all our problems were the result of “a malaise among the American people.” Everybody remembered that switch-around three years later, because it was the first shot of Carter’s move to the standard Washington Left.
But in 1980 Republicans were running the standard “Gosh us little Americans are so LUCKY to be UNDER the INSTITUTIONS we have.” It was the Propositional State, presented to a public which had rejected Republicans for a man who talked about the goodness of the American PEOPLE and then switched gears.
I suggested we run on the winning platform of 1976.
It worked like a charm.
Today, so long as Americans allow us to be discredited by out racist past, and grovel and drool to this doctrine the way conservatives love to do, it will be All Hail to the Institutions, and the PEOPLE be damned. To turn things around they must get out there and demand what they mean by the word racist, which no conservative EVER does, and we have to point out that the destruction of our race, which they suspected was at the basis of liberal policy, turns out to be exactly where it is headed.
Our racist fathers were right. We ARE in danger.
You cannot join the chorus of self-hatred and get a revival going. The Mantra and We the People are inseparable.
