You can sure tell when a pro works on something the way our pros redesigned BUGS.
One thing I want you to understand is that I have no idea who the pros were, and this makes a very happy old trooper.
I have spent my whole life on the very, very front line or on the edge, but not because I enjoyed it. I did it because I was the only out there. To me the ultimate luxury is to delegate. So BoardAd told me one of our senior folk — and “senior” here doesn’t mean age — had some talent himself and had found someone to redesign BUGS.
I said Okeedoke, stick it on there and we’ll see what the reaction is. That was the end of my involvement with the entire thing.
I fully expect to be given full credit for doing it all, of course.
I don’t know who put the little bug up there in the first place. I don’t know who put the Santa hat on the bug when Christmas rolled around a few years ago. In every case I appreciated whoever had done it. And in every case I appreciated that whoever did it felt so much a part of our team he didn’t have to check it with Headquarters.
Everything here, except a little matter of, as BBG points out, over 4,000 articles, was not done by me. The BUGS you see was developed by others, people who volunteered to take over the technical work, which includes the visual setup.
They cannot give themselves credit because the other thing I give exclusively is the willingness to put my name out for everybody to see.
We are, as I have said before, samizdat.
In the Middle Ages a lord’s life depended on how many men he could hire to defend him. But that same lord spent more on his finery and obvious, let me repeat that word, obvious, luxury, he had around him. There was nothing frivolous about this. It was, to say the least, not a frivolous time.
But looks count for so much that in the hard calculation between more soldiers and more finery, lords chose so much finery.
Looks count. Looks count a LOT, and I am not the author of the professional look BUGS has steadily acquired over the years. I pity the business that has to put up its own website from scratch.
We look GOOD.

I didn’t say so before, but I have to compliment the person or people, that came up with the new banner.
The green bug with the hammer, glasses and graduation cap are brilliant. Nerdy, intelligent, non-threatening, except for the Mantra hammer. I have conflicting emotions when I look at it.
I saw someone post in another forum, they don’t like the White Rabbit website, because of the bunny symbol. They want Horus to change it to a traditional symbol of power and domination.
Such people don’t understand practical politics at all and never will. Thank heavens ole Bob and the people at BUGS do.

The great value of the display of wealth developed in the Late Middle Ages. It was rooted in the more mundane reality of the feudal order. Before nobles hired men they required service. This lasted longer in the Celtic Fringe.
After the Stuarts went south and started getting comfortable with the non Scottish concept of royalty dying in their beds, Charles I excepted, Scots nobles oft had to travel to London, For them the luxury of the capital was alluring, but expensive. Their wealth did not include gold. The Old South on this side of the Pond understood the condition of being land rich and cash poor.
The tale is told of an impecunious highland noble being invited to an English lord’s ample table in London. The visitor was awed by the setting, especially the heavy silver candelabras. The Sassenach condescendingly asked if they had such in Scotland. The embarrassed Scot replied that his candelabras were more impressive which the company found hilarious. The annoyed Englishman challenged the very idea and prodded him to a bet a hundred pounds the man form the north could ill afford.
The wager was accepted, mostly to defuse the situation, and there the matter laid for years.
On business for the crown in Edinburgh many years later the Englishman made his way north to renew acquaintance with the Highlander. During the welcome and remembrances the bet was mentioned.
Northern castles were sturdy, but bare. But a feast was arranged. The fare was simple though plenty. The long table was lined with twenty-four burly men in kilts with dirks in their belts, balanced on a claymore in one hand and a candle held over the table in the other. They were very impressive candelabras.
The wealth of the high born Scot was the men he could deliver on the field of battle. He commanded human loyalty. It was there and deliverable.
The haughty Sassenach lord parted with a hundred pounds as he recognized that wealth is not always counted in the heavy weight of precious metals.
BUGS looks good, very good. That is important. It imparts credibility. Its greater beauty is the devotion of its volunteers, especially the battle scarred warriors in GC VI. Bob can consider himself wealthy and attired in finery because he can command men and women, BUGSers, devoted to the White race.
All we are really up against is well financed ignorance and treason.

-Traitors and Patriots-
In the subversive spirit of Sun Tzu:
“The highest art of warfare is NOT TO FIGHT AT ALL…But to subvert anything of value in the country of your enemy until such time that the perception of reality of your enemy is screwed up to such an extent that he does not PERCEIVE you as an enemy..AND that your system, your civilization, and your ambitions look to your enemy as an alternative, if not desirable, then at least feasible…’Better RED than dead’…Is the ultimate purpose, the final stage of subversion. After which, you can simply take your enemy without a single shot being fired.” – Yuri Brezmenov
Speaking of Samizdat and the underground nature of BUGS, I think the following video applies to exactly what we are trying to achieve here.
For those of you who have NOT seen it yet, here is Yuri Brezmenov’s take on ‘subversion.’
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cj0Id3BLFco
The point that Mr. Brezmenov makes at the 3:50 mark is central to what we are about. We aim to emulate this notion and defeat White Genocide by any means necessary. If you watch, then you MIGHT see what we mean.
Now, let us keep working on ‘demoralizing OUR enemy’, shall we?

The “little thing” of 4,000 articles that you can find at BUGS and written by Robert Whitaker is a comprehensive perspective you can find nowhere else.
In reality it is a magnum opus. Perspective of that value is difficult to find anywhere. There is little “depth perspective” that overcomes pastiche. It is exceedingly rare to find a perspective that is a unique, new, and transformational edifice. That is what those 4,000 articles (and three books) accomplish.
Political Correctness reduces moral problems to “issues” and revelations about the true nature of things are to be avoided at all costs. Mommy Professor replaces real knowledge with recitations of mere explanations and facts. This is why there is so little perspective. Tyranny banishes perspective because it cannot tolerate the contemplation of what is actually true.
BUGS shines through the Internet like a cop’s 500 lumen flashlight because depth perspective is precisely what is lacking in today’s social climate. In fact, it is hugely lacking on the Internet.
Consider for example the 10,000 white people (mostly French expatriates) living in Cote d’Ivorie. For many years now a small French force of white young men have been mired in Cote d’Ivorie, sandwiched between two hostile black armies, to deter the outright murder and slaughter of their white brethren by black criminals.
The French Government is utterly unable to think this situation through. The situation simply goes on and on and the Government can find no way to conclude the situation. Now it has another civil war on its hands.
That is the tenor of our times: THE INABILITY TO THINK THINGS THROUGH.
You will hear nothing of the Cote d’Ivorie situation from the perspective of the white people living there in the news. Political Correctness prohibits the airing of their story.
Europe has long been swept into the torrents and riptides of Arabia and Africa. The Anglo-Saxon world is swirling in those torrents too. But the situation is getting worse.
Events are becoming ever more prominent. It has been too many years since there has been any sighting of shore. Our incapacity to think things through grows ever worse. Events are in control.
What makes the writings of Robert Whitaker so darn important is the reality of our plight. His perspective (so very rare) is a cool drink of water in the parched desert. I doubt that most of our BUGSTERS understand how truly important his writings are, the first effective attempt since before WWII at pulling down the structure of Political Correctness while aiming at the recovery of the virility of the white race. His writings are also the recovery of the capacity for thinking things through – which can only be done racially, with racial objectives, with racial intent, and with racial outcomes – filling a the true void. In other words, at long last a source of light.

Hi Bob:
I’m not much in the looks department, even with my beard (you warned me it didn’t look good. We were eating together at the C of CC conference in South Carolina about four years back.)
As to taking credit and “leaders” not wanting to repeat your ideas because they don’t want to be seen as copy cats, A route around this might be to quote Machiavelli or Tsun Zu where they or another Great Man has previously made the same point.
Then the “leader” can make the same point, quoting the long dead sage, and appear to be well read to boot. 🙂

“Machiavelli or Tsun Zu”
Those guys were good in their time, but we need people creating words, that work in our place, our time.
I started visiting BUGS around mid last year and already can see a massive difference. So don’t worry, our leaders will be scrambling to catch up, as the Mantra continues its viral spread. And if they don’t know a good thing when they see it, I don’t want them leading us anyhow.

Great points.
Bob Whitaker: Poet, Scholar, General & Guardian of White Children Everywhere
And for the record, Bob would give Sun Tzu fits with his direct approach. HAHA! And he is relevant to boot.
Definitely no match for Ole Bob! I guarantee it. You wait and see, Robert Whitaker is responsible for much more change than Sun Tzu could have ever wished he could be.
Sun Tzu may have authored The Art of War, but Bob wrote THE book on practical politics. Moreover, he has showed us how to wage a NEW kind of war. Not only that, but he Lived it and trimmed out all the fat for us. Then, he weaved us a ‘hook’ that no one can come close to unraveling. His velvet noose is not to be trifled with.
He calls it The Mantra.
Choose to USE it.

A very professional outfit.
My thanks to you all for making it happen.

I put my artist on the job to redo the site graphics. He did a good job IMO. And if anyone needs any artwork done for whatever reason. He is not only a great commercial artist. He is very reasonable as well. You can PM me on BUGS if anyone ever needs his info.
And almost everything PRACTICAL I know about subversion was learned from old soviet people. Yuri is very good and there is much to learn form him.
Just Google “follow the white rabbit” and you will find a lesson on subversion I learned from his type.
