It hasn’t been long in historical terms since Ireland was the Poor Man of Northern Europe. The Irish considered not only England, but even LIVERPOOL, as paved with gold.

Others may not mention this historical fact, but the Irish are very, very aware of their own recent history.

So while the fact went unnoticed in the rest of the world, per capita income in Ireland is now higher than English per capita income for the first time in known history.

Nor have the Irish kept this to themselves as a secret. The English are considered to be very reserved. Those of the Land of the Blarney Stone are less reserved. They have a tendency to treat reservation somewhat less seriously than the English.

In fact, people from the Emerald Isle are more like Texans.

So the fact that Ireland is now richer than England has been ignored in Ireland the way Texans ignore their oil wells.

So why is this flip flop not something the rest of the world proclaims?

One major reason for this silence underlies the whole discussion of Culture versus Race.

A racial view of the world looks upon economics as an effect, not a cause. People do not invest in Mexico because Mexico is the product of Mexicans. That is a point of view that is absolute heresy today.

It is also true.

It is assumed that China, like Japan, will eventually approach a Western standard of production. It is not assumed Haiti ever will. It hasn’t been that long since China and Japan were on a par with Haiti. Asia was assumed to be a desperately poor place.

While Japan and Germany were performing economic miracles after WWII, China and Eastern Europe stagnated while sending out reports of economic growth under Five Year Plans that dwarfed those of Japan and Western Europe.

Those economic reports were a major part of public dialogue in the 1960s. If you looked up a country in the World Almanac, the reported per capita income was part of it. Communist countries were catching up with the United States.

But in the end, everything came out as we would have predicted, as I did predict. Once rid of the democratic socialism Mommy Professor advocated, India became a net EXPORTER of wheat. Without Communism, the relatively small population of Japan vastly out produced a billion Chinese.

The rule is that Orientals can copy and equal the West. White countries without Communism will naturally rise to be like other white countries.

This is an assumption that is as deep in our thinking as is the Mantra, and is never mentioned for the same reason.

If China were black, the expectations everybody has of it now that it is going into the market system would not be what they are. A billion Africans are going nowhere. A billion Chinese are assumed to be going far.

Nobody mentions that, just as no one mentions that all this “melting pot” crap only applies to white countries.

The fact that Ireland has achieved its economic status as a white country surprises nobody.

But it is also MENTIONED by nobody.

Except the Irish themselves.

Before founding Alcoholics Anonymous, Bill W went to Switzerland to see one of the world’s top psychiatrists about his alcoholism. He was told that alcoholism was something that psychiatry could not handle.

Now psychiatrists and talk therapists make their livings in alcohol and drug recovery. But their pricey talk sessions are accompanied by regular daily AA meetings. Even these talk therapists never claim that they deal with alcoholism. They say their sessions are a supplement, a search for OTHER problems alcoholics might have.

I had all too much time to think about why a bunch of amateur drunks built an organization which seems to be able to deal with alcoholism itself better than any professionals could ever claim to.

Once I began sponsoring people I came to the conclusion that the big difference between talk therapy and AA is that AA has EVOLVED in the real world.

If you are a sponsor and what you are doing doesn’t WORK, you will be in the emergency room or at the funeral to see the results.

The key here is that AA is based on evolution, not on theory. For most of a century members of AA have had to face every day the immediate results of what they are doing.

There have been millions of live subjects for this evolution.

There is no AA theory. A sponsor is on his own. The only score is on your conscience. Each alcoholic selects his own sponsor and I have turned down far more than I dared take on. I will never know whether my failures might have survived if they had had another sponsor.

But that, I have concluded, is exactly the point. You can never tell yourself, as a therapist can, that you did your best. A therapist simply makes sure he has done all his theory requires.

You attend the funeral and nobody can assure you did the best you could.

Evolution is the science of screwing up. It put hooves on early carnivores and they died out. Evolution still pins tails on human babies, and will continue to do so, but the ones with visible tails die out, so nature tries it again.

The Mantra evolved. I keep trying to explain to people that it developed from thousands of head-to-head encounters, rather than from a theory of what a good argument might be.

This is a hell of a lot harder than theorizing about killer arguments. That is the developing difference between BUGS and Stormfront. In actual conflict, be it changing minds or the result of failing to do what is called for, you cannot do what you planned on beforehand.

That is why General Comments 6 is becoming the heart of BUGS. Our field of action changes almost daily as desbots block the Mantra and new pro-whites find out what the real, daily limits on our action are. We evolve daily.

The one thing neither psychiatrists trying to deal with alcoholism nor Stormfront ever had was field reports.

And all the drilling on earth cannot prepare one for actual combat.

More and more of what I write starts with what one of you said in Comments, especially General Comments 5, to which there is a link at the top of this page.

In a seminar, the professor’s job is to get his students to asking the right questions and making the right points. When I see someone who needs correcting, one of you leaps right in and does the correcting.

Please know that Old Bob sees what you did and is grateful.

A few of you have been a bit upset that I dropped out of comments so completely. It is VERY important to me for you to realize how delighted I am when one of you puts another back on track.

I have admitted to you that I have an ego. I like getting the praise I am due.

I am just too old and experienced for the Silent Hero crap. The one failing everybody finds at my age is that they didn’t give people enough credit. I felt my bosses were too much above me to need my praise.

I was wrong.

So you deserve praise, but it would get us off he subject if I kept thanking each person who jumps in with the right thing at the right time.

The old Strong, Silent Hero is the subject of an entire movie or book talking about how wonderful he is. Being a flatterer is something that makes us sick.

But a flatterer gives praise that is NOT deserved. He has a reward in mind besides simply encouraging someone who merits and, being human, NEEDS to be recognized.

There probably are some Strong, Silent Types out there. But as one guy said to me, “A guy who doesn’t have much to say usually doesn’t have much to say.”

No, it wasn’t Yogi Berra, but it sounds like him.

My silence is consent. You are turning right into pros before my eyes, and it is the best reward I could possibly have for years of work fighting the good fight and hoping you would come along.

Now shut up and get back to work.

Anti-whites suppress any discussion of white genocide because Hitler talked about it.

If you outlawed discussion of anything that had been horribly misused in history every cross would to taken from every church. No one would-be allowed to wear anything that had a cross on it. Nothing has been used to kill and enslaved more tens of millions of people than Christianity.

If you used that excuse, every clergyman would be in prison.

If you outlawed discussion of anything that had been horribly misused historically, anyone who talked about the distribution of income would be in prison.

Stalin used the question the distribution of income to kill tens of millions, and Mao Tse Tung killed even more. Would it be all right then for a gang of thugs to show up and riot every time someone came to the campus to discuss income redistribution.

In Communist countries the word “fascist” is used all the time. In fascist countries almost all opposition was called “Communist.” That is exactly the way the “racist” is used today.

Freedom of speech is always suppressed with the excuse that it might cause trouble. Tyrannies like Nazism and Communism Always used somebody’s else’s totalitarianism to justify their own.

In fact, no suppression of free speech has EVER used anything but screaming some label to justify itself.

If no one stands up for the right of a person to openly talk about the disappearance of the white race we see going on around us, how long will it be before Political Correctness condemns their discussion of other issues?

The article “It’s Ugly!” pointed out that the product of a Jewish Wet Dream, a blond woman and a black man, was just plain ugly. The answer is that this doesn’t matter, that a kinky-haired, blue eyed black having to go through life looking like that means nothing.

All that matters is that, at the time of copulation, the Jewish Wet Dream couple was “in love.”

If you can take that crap seriously, that being ugly is nothing compared to the emotions of two people at one moment in time, one of us is a very sick puppy indeed.

A lady commenter said that blacks were mean to the blonds they marry. A chorus of commenters said that was not the point, so I was spared the trouble.

This is the problem with a real seminar. It is one reason they no longer exist. In a seminar, the young graduate students are deadly serious. Everybody really catches hell from time to time, so the young lady just ran into something all of us have to catch from time to time because we are serious.

It beats hell out of what they now call a seminar, which is young graduate students learning what they are supposed to say and vomiting it back. It is a continuation of grammar school, as is Middle School, high school, and college.

Mommy Professor’s “education” is one long grammar school.

If our lady commentator thinks about it, it is a hell of a lot better to catch hell at rare intervals rather than sitting there for hours listening to the grammar school Political Correctness drill year after year after year after year after year after year..

The point here is that the destruction of our race is more important than how a female race-traitor is treated or Love Conquers All.

In the more general context what the other commenters were saying was what we all said when Stormfront got into a debate about whether one could be pro-white and not be a practicing Christian:

“Why in the hell does one have to be loyal to an institution to fight for his race?”

On this front we have had some hot words about Catholic and Protestant behavior.

I use churches as the prime example of independent institutions, which doesn’t get mentioned in any classroom. Our race is being destroyed in the name of institutions.

It is VERY important to get the pro-white position on this straight: Loyalty to ANY institution is anti-white.

It is impossible for any person raised in society NOT to have feelings for some institutions. Even me. When someone says something nasty about the South, my back goes up like an infuriated cat’s. When Catholicism is just plain insulted, Backbaygrouch reacts as someone who has stood for that sort of thing for decades would be expected to.

I know more bad things about the South than any of its detractors. BBG knows more dirt on his church than outsiders do. But it is still a touchy point with us.

It always will be. But we all have greed and all the other Deadly Sins, too.

What we have done here is to take this loyalty to institutions out and see it is no longer moral when our race is literally being obliterated. That is the ONLY MORAL consideration.

The fight going on about a commenter’s sayings about Catholics and Protestants will not be settled by me or anybody else making some soothing remarks to soothe the feelings expressed.

The ONLY thing we must remember is that we are in a graduate seminar. We have outgrown our college education whether we had one or not. If a commenter makes statements that he or she feels are relevant, they are going to sound like insults to some institution.

But. Unlike today’s so-called seminars, this is a real one. It is up to the commenter to keep insults down. It is up to the other commenter to not let the whole thing go off in a defense of any institutions.

In short, it is a matter for grown-ups not Mommy Professor’s lifetime children being nice to each other. A real professor, now a vanished breed, would use this occasion to point out the real point of the real discussion: We must grow out of our loyalty to institutions.

Senior staff spent a lot of time on the House Floor. We were technical support on particular legislation and there were usually plenty of seats unoccupied, so it was easier for the congressmen to have us right there.

But when something had the whole membership down there, a lot of us would sit in the Jefferson Room or watch on the TV in the office.

But my position was as an idea man. So by the time something I was working on got the whole House membership there, it was a general issue and I was not needed down there. I would sit in the Visitor’s Gallery, if there was a seat, watching the whole House fighting over an issue I had started rolling.

One of those times another staffer sat near me in the Visitor’s Gallery, and he said, “You got this started, didn’t you?” The two biggies I remember were when I got Ashbrook to get us the weekend when anti-space types were trying to end the space telescope. Another was when I got the organizations in there to stop the IRS from enforcing its self-made rule to force race quotas on private schools.

But there were a number that only I thought of. On the above two, by the way, we won four to one on the Floor with almost the entire membership voting.

The staffer I just mentioned sat near me on another such full House vote, and he said, with some wonder, “You got THIS started, too, didn’t you?”

That made me feel good.

These votes were a lot like the Mantra. I grabbed a subject that regular conservatives would have let slip. Please note that the removal of the Hubble Telescope was going through when I stopped it, and when the whole thing actually got to the Floor, it was beaten about 340-80.

We trounced them by the same margin on the IRS race quotes.

And on most of the things I got to the Floor.

In other words, once I got hold of it and put in plain English, they couldn’t defend the position they were sneaking through. I did that for a living. So the Mantra took me YEARS to plant, and those who try it run right over the opposition.

The opposition can only try to keep it from reaching the Floor.

But at first, in every case of these House issues, I had to work my tail off to the point of passing out sometimes to get people off their asses. General Comments 5 is the fruit of a number of years I spent by myself trying to get the Mantra across.

You should be encouraged by the fact that this is not an accident. I know what can win, even if the entire elected representation and their staffs do not.

I also know how hard it was for the few others on the Hill who Got It each time. They were not as used to the complete blockheadedness of the entire membership and staff they worked with. Some of them quit, but I still won.

Hence my nervous breakdowns.

The next time an issue came from me, everybody had totally forgotten I had gotten it started. It is a very important rule: Some people DO things and others live by taking credit for them.

Instead of being bitter about this, I found it useful. If the other side had KNOWN it was me, they would have watched me like a hawk. So I traded credit for real power, as I have said here many, many times.

I can’t imagine a more powerful position to be in. For you, I cannot imagine a more frustrating position to be in. You are hitting at a target and the entire media is dedicated to keeping anyone from knowing you are doing it.

This is a great time, when you are realizing how helpless the other side is when you have the Mantra and accompanying arguments down pat. I can hardly sit still when I look at General Comments 5.

But this is the phase I went through in those earlier cases, when an enthusiastic group had taken up the cry. But the enthusiasm hit a brick wall every time. People do not take frustration well.

Next year the second phase will begin, when you have been doing this for a year and the novelty is wearing off. It was no fun on the Hill for that enthusiastic group to run into one respectable conservative after another who just DIDN’T GET IT.

That is the time when the enthusiasts start saying, “Well, we tried but it didn’t work.”

I have been through that stage many, many times. But if I kept them at it, it ALWAYS worked.

Your job is to get the Mantra in there.

DON’T TRY TO KEEP SCORE.

The only problem there is now is YOUR getting tired of hitting the message and seeing no obvious results.

Those are the times that try men souls…
