Political Means and Ends

In the 1950s, every student had to learn the difference between “socialism” and “communism.” Every college student could parrot that, while socialist GOALS could be the same, professors who were socialists did not advocate violent MEANS to that end

One high State Department official said he had a problem with this back in the late 40s when he filled out his Federal job application. A question on it was, “Have you or any member of your family ever advocated the overthrow of the United States Government by force or violence?”

He had a little trouble when he replied, “Yes.”

His grandfather was still alive and his grandfather was a Confederate veteran.

But note the question was not, “Are you a Communist?” There was a LOT of legal maneuvering then. The Federal Courts ruled that a person could be fired from his job for being a member of the Klan or other “hate” organizations accused of violent intent, but no one could be fired for being a Communist who openly advocated the violent overthrow of the government and the violent seizure of all property.

As we all know, this court law is the one that governs our society.

On the left, one simply has to make it impossible to prove that one is ENGAGED in promoting actual and specific violence. On the left, the ENDS make no difference at all.

On the right, the MEANS make no difference at all. The GOAL of preserving the white race opens the door to any action anyone wants to take.

This policy is, as usual, most fanatically supported by respectable conservatives. William Buckley kept whining to liberals that he wouldn’t hire anyone they called a racist. So why were Major New York Times writers openly not only pro-Communist, but pro-Stalinist?

The simple answer, of course, would be, “Largely because of prostitutes like you.”

Dave Does Some Excellent Coaching for Me

#6 by Frank on 4/9/2011 – 11:10 am
Dave, I live in a university town, so have a lot of Mommy Profs here both in the U and throughout the local political establishment. I comment in the local newsblogs, and get a word in wherever I smell anti-white, which is everywhere.

I actually use the phrase “mommy professor” in some posts, and usually with anti-white in the same sentence. The intent is to make the MPs look both silly and evil.

The question I have for you is: do you (or any other bugsters) use “mommy professor” outside of “our Thing” here? Do you recommend it? Do you see a problem with it?

Thanks for all your coach-talks!

Frank,

I use “Mommy Professor” all the time and I use it in any venue I happen to be in without restraint (I regularly use the term in informal conversations with elected officials, in speaking before groups, and also at work) It is perfect because it is an underhanded way of expressing disrespect while having “cover” for being called on it.

You know the organizational game when it comes to behavioral standards: You have to keep your commentary within the bounds of “being directed toward an organizational purpose” or face discipline for having a personal agenda. You can stay within those bounds and successfully use the term “Mommy Professor”. I have never been called on it for violating organizational behavioral norms.

It is very difficult to be called on using “Mommy Professor” because you just say that you are reminding everyone, Mommy Professor’s credentials notwithstanding, that you are just dealing with opinion. The question is whether it is “informed opinion” and informed opinion adheres to people regardless of credentials. People are sick and tired of the costume of credentials anyway. Increasingly, reciting one’s credentials just makes people groan. In today’s world credentials are actually a hindrance to your credibility (outside of medicine and other technical areas where formal ratings actually matter), but kids don’t know this.

Everybody knows it is “Mommy Professor’s” tendency to hide behind her status, even though it is not uncommon for her to claim to be a renegade. (This is another thing I think people are increasingly sick of – the standard claim of Establishment people that they are anti-Establishment).

Think of Elizabeth Warren (Harvard Law Professor and Special Counsel to the President) and her pretense that she is a feared enemy of Wall Street and friend of THE CONSUMER.

I wish I had a nickel for every anti-Establishment “rebel” in the Establishment. I would be a rich man indeed. Mommy Professor LOVES to posture. Pretending she is a “rebel” is one of her most standard forms of posturing.

Believe me, Elizabeth Warren would be offended by being called “Mommy Professor” and she would have a terrible time responding. “Mommy Professor” is a great insult. It is durable, memorable, and it works.

You’re Always Close to the Edge on Wordism

We are Samizdat. No one imagined how soon after samizdat got legalized the Great Soviet Empire would simply disintegrate.

So we are in fact the only real Dissidents today.

Samizdat means “self-publication.” The production of information by anyone but the State under Communism, like another form of production, was illegal. The term would not translate so easily or automatically in English, where approved forms of production are allowed to be private, or done by a yourself.

But we are all perfectly aware that jail time for any production of information not approved by the Authorities is standard practice in every country except the United States. In East Germany, the Stalinist government even had a state-subsidized Social Democratic Party, just as the atheist Soviet State had its own Orthodox Church.

And we have respectable conservatives, supported by our establishment.

It is legitimate for us to claim our status as the only real dissidents. But I would suggest that NOBODY use the term “Dissident” by itself. It should at least be “pro-white Dissident.”

If you want to see the kind of experience that leads to this insistence, take a look at the Tea Party. When I signed on with the conservative movement it was insistent that the Federal enforcement of school integration was unconstitutional.

Now the Tea Party is holding special worship of Saint Martin Luther the King.

NEVER ALLY WITH ANYBODY. The establishment’s sine qua non is the end of the white race. Good National Review conservatives will sell you out as fast as a Catholic bishop would refuse to reveal child molestation.

NEVER GET OFF OF OUR SUBJECT. When you are debating it’s nice to have somebody on your side on things like states’ rights or free expression, but the same person will sell you out to the Thought Police so fast your head will swim, all in the name of True Religion or True Americanism or True Free Speech.

No more alliances.

ALL Wordists are anti-white.

A George Sanders Attitude

To a Marxist, History takes the place of Allah for Islam and Jehovah for Jews. I was raised in the Bible Belt, so a majority of the people I was raised around considered any doubt about Jonah being swallowed by a big fish (not a whale) was on a par with outright atheism.

The last thing a Marxist would want to know is that I detect exactly the same hysteria from Marxists as history changes daily. Marxism is totally dependent on the history Marx grew up with.

You are mostly not old enough to remember the picture of Natural History I grew up with. You BELIEVE me when I describe it, but you don’t UNDERSTAND me when I am describing it.

You simply cannot really empathize with the mind set of a whole WORLD, especially Intellectuals, who thought that man was the only territorial animal, that only men and ants fought border battles, that in a herd of natural animals, Freedom, Equality and Fraternity were part of the Natural Order.

One of the major blocks to conservatives trying to take on Marxists was that conservatives had exactly the same world view Marxists did. The only serious difference was that for conservatives all knowledge started in Israel while for Marxists all knowledge started a hundred miles or so west, in Egypt.

What you could easily miss here is that, while a factual error is a matter of Googling, an entire mentality BUILT on a historical error is an entirely different thing. For decades I watched as two sides fought it out over a history that never existed, a history that was being undermined every day with new scientific advances.

And neither side noticed.

I remember in the old Inspector Clousseau movies when the straight man was George Sanders playing a respectable English-type gentleman who knew the Inspector was a retard. That gentleman did some of the best acting I have ever seen, because he did no acting at all.

He just stood there, but he stood there RIGHT. His expression never changed as he watched Clousseau try to act like a past-master at billiards, which he had obviously never played in his life, doing the usual Peter Sellers bit of ending up trying to shoot with the cue between his legs, breaking it, and so forth.

The English gentleman just stood there, watching, with a perfectly straight face. It was funnier than any “reaction” shots might have been.

This is an old tradition. In Buster Keaton movies poor Buster would Drop his sandwich, get it tangled in his tie, have a building fall around him, his most dangerous stunt, but Keaton’s dignity never faltered. He never looked embarrassed, in fact, what was hilarious was that his face never changed the slightest.

Keaton, in other words, was doing Inspector Clousseau and the English gentleman himself, with his reactions to himself.

The English gentleman made use of his seeing the reality. He had done the murder so he asked for Clousseau to be in charge of the case.

My entire life I have watched Great Intellectual hosts who were flattered to have Great Spokesmen sit with them and seriously discuss nonsense that had been out of date for decades.

I try hard to take a George Sanders attitude to it.

IHPM

The New Age of “I’m Here, Pay Me,” IHPM, is now unquestioned.

Nobody knows who the rebels against Kaddafi are.

But what sets this aside in history is that nobody is saying they will find out.

It never occurs to anybody that the tens of thousands of Professional Journalists and Intelligence Agencies should actually DO anything for their money.

This is the kind of thing for which, back when they had to at least PRETEND to try for results, they bit the bullet and sent me in. Actually there is some relationship between what I did in active politics and what I did in that other world.

There were a lot of classy guys like Kevin Phillips, Bill Rusher, Paul Weyrich and Pat Buchanan that Jared Taylor would have LOVED to have buddied up to — just look at the cover of my 1982 book — who TALKED about an alliance with Wallace voters and other social conservatives.

But they had as little real contact with those working stiffs as Jane Fonda or Lenin did when they talked about their love for The Working Class. I got into the homes and onto the streets with them, writing their press releases and setting up their publicity until we were overwhelmed with requests, every one of them from grassroots farmers, miners, electricians independent truckers — a list of real working people who get things done, the ones both sides were theorizing about.

I was the same way in Intelligence. Finding out “who they are” was one of my major jobs.

But the real money was, of course, a matter of fitting in, as elsewhere. I am not uncomfortable with not fitting in with the pro-white leadership.

Nobody claimed I worked for them. They hid my funding sources from each other.

In short, nothing has changed for me in my whole life time.

But the OPEN statement, as a matter of routine, that nobody knows who these people are, and, more important, the clear indication that nobody is going to find out, sort of passes a threshold nobody but me seems to have noticed.

Nobody for a long, long time has ever required any Professionals to perform, but now it is absolutely out in the open and no one cares. We have known for at least two generations that one gets paid and promoted for wearing fashionable clothes and kissing the right ….uh, playing up to the right people.

For decades, who you have lunch with is a lot more important than what you do at your desk. This is the first time we have agreed to say it in public.

The very idea that an investment counselor is supposed to show a better record than, and I mean this literally, a chimpanzee throwing darts at a board, a regular feature in the Wall Street Journal, is now openly absurd.

You get your desk or your spot as a Celebrity, not by doing anything, but by whatever the fast track is these days. Then it’s IHPM all the way.

Now we are finally SAYING so.

Sorry, Conservatives, Cops Are Human, Too

Nobody has any trouble believing that human being’s political preferences are, at the base, simple.

We would be astonished if the paper hats at the VFW Convention demanded a cut in veterans’ benefits.

We would be more astonished if they simply said they want all the government money they can get.

But we never apply the same human standards to occupations that conservatives are taught to worship.

The regular cops have a very broad range of opinions on gun control. But the brass hats have only one: the more the right to bear arms is regulated, the happier they are. But no one ever mentions the obvious fact that, being human beings, they do the regulating, so the more regs, the happier they are.

It would have been hard to run sheriffs’ campaigns in South Carolina without the funds brought in by making sure that a big donor got a Special Sheriff’s badge and the right to tote a gun anywhere inside the county.

I think the permit system we now have is the reason there has been such an expansion of those “Friends of the Sheriff” bumper stickers that they sell now.

The Yankee-owned “local” paper in Columbia had an article about a new bill to expand the rights of permit holders AND of citizens in general to carry weapons. The sympathy for this bill was so great that even The State paper had to report that there was really no opposition to the right to bear arms in SC.

Actually, there IS a major anti-gun lobby, and it is financed by those it lobbies. The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) has opposed EVERY expansion of the right to bear arms.

SLED opposed permits being handed out to people by anybody but the police. Each year, SLED demands that there be no more expansion of gun rights.

Like Mommy Professor, no one ever mentions the obvious any human being would have for his political stand that would be the first to be discussed if it were any other business but law enforcement: Under the old permit system, it was the police brass hats who gave their friends, and sold their supporters, those permits that they lost control of.

No, SLED never complains about THAT. A good lobby NEVER shows that its reaction is predictable and knee-jerk. So No one says that SLED is an anti-gun lobby.

Like Mommy Professor, they’re Objective Experts.

Disagreeing With American Renaissance

Much of my time and strength have been wasted over the decades by personal conflicts in groups, I have helped get many an organization on its feet at some effort to see it torn apart this way.

Such conflict is hard on the nerves and has blighted my whole time in the struggle.

You will note that no leader of a major group in our coalition has attacked me. Jared Taylor’s group, for example, has not actually attacked us.

Jared ignores me. All through my political career, those who genuinely believed they might get a good point of view into the mainstream have disclaimed me. When I was out on the streets with the populist Wallace Democrat-type movements even Stan Evans kept his distance from me.

National Review split into two camps: One side, led by their publisher, Bill Rusher, declared I was the champion of the only way to win, hence Jeffrey Hart’s review of my book which he titled, “Read This One!”

At the SAME TIME, in 1976, there was a cover article in National Review attacking me and all who sided with me. This came from the Buckley side.

Buckley and Rusher had twin offices opposite each other on the top floor of the NR Building. On Whitaker NR was split right down the middle.

Jared Taylor is working on the pro-white side. David Duke is a good friend of his.

I do not edit comments from genuine BUGS people, but I would very much appreciate it if commenters would refrain from personal insults or questioning personal motivations of people who are out there trying their own approaches.

The National Alliance used to have its big meetings in New Orleans. The year New Orleans disappeared all of us went to the American Renaissance Convention. Dr. Duke was very upset when a Jewish couple were invited by Jared and David denounced what they said as the Solid and Standard Neoconservative Line in the meeting where they spoke.

But David, who worries about damned few people’s opinions of him, was genuinely concerned that he had proved a bad guest at Taylor’s convention. We spoke at length after that meeting and David Duke made it clear to me that 1) He was absolutely appalled at Taylor for allowing this, and 2) He was a friend and admirer of Taylor’s, with whom he had worked for many years.

David is a pro. He can be terribly and deeply upset with someone without going to pieces over it. He can be furious about a person’s actions and still judge the person fairly.

BUGS is a seminar. This is where we learn to act like pros. Jared Taylor is taking an approach which could not be more different from that of BUGS and, for that matter, very divergent from that of David Duke. Mr. Taylor has his neck stuck out like the rest of us do.

There are anti-whites and there are pro-whites. Jared Taylor is pro-white. Jared Taylor is vouched for by the one professional on our side whom I know well and respect.

I am sick to death of squabbles and calling each other names.

Lord knows, we have so few people on Planet Earth with whom we can RESPECTFULLY disagree.

Let’s keep it respectful.

It’s SILLY and It Is Important That It’s Silly

If two people are arguing over the true nature of the Holy Trinity, you know each one identifies himself as a Christian. If someone is TALKING about the Holy Trinity, you know he is somewhat familiar with, specifically, CHRISTIAN theology.

Political Correctness is as identifiable with Marxism as the Holy Trinity is with Christianity. One Yugoslavian-born interviewer was astonished when I mentioned that, and then remembered that in Communist Yugoslavia the Serbian term was “political rectitude.”

Oddly enough, this simple truth has been missed by the only people on earth who still take Marxist theology seriously. As Communism slid into the grave yard in the Soviet Empire, Aleksander Solzhenitsyn pointed out that, “No one in the USSR takes Marxist theory seriously.”

He added, “The only people who take Marxist theory seriously today are Western professors.” And that, boys and girls is the “mysterious origin” of the term Politically Correct.

Communism is unique in that it died, not from outside pressure, but from its own silliness.

You can’t run an economy that way.

But Marxist theory still dominates our thinking. The Class Struggle, everything being determined by money, these are the products of a Marxist outlook. You find people seriously saying that a billionaire Vice President is doing what he is doing for money.

In the Marxist system, money is everything, power is nothing. This is because those who hope to be the dictatorship of the proletariat are after power. Money is everything, Marxism says, and the distribution of money is governed entirely by political power.

Economics becomes the proper distribution of money, so that while a Christian might talk about True Religion, a Marxist talks about political correctness. If you read the letters to Stalin from Party underlings, you will see the term many times.

Marxist sources are the ONLY places you will see the term Political Correctness before the 1970s. It went onto the faculties with the 60s Radicals.

Once again let us remember that Marxism is an ideology that, with all the totalitarian force that could be levied to hold it in power, finally just disappeared because it is so SILLY.

It is important not to use Respectable Conservative terms like “not viable.” Marxism was SILLY. The conservatives who seriously debated other philosophers against Marx were SILLY, not Well Meaning Great Minds who Saw Errors in Historical Interpretation, but Silly Asses who used Latin phrases but couldn’t see that a system that requires land mines and machine guns to keep its people IN is a failure.

When you concede that a bunch of idiots are Intellectuals, you legitimize them to a large extent. Only an insane person tries to reason with a snake.

Don’t try to make friends of our opponents. If you want to make a living as a respectable conservative, you treat a PhD who talks drool as an intellectual.

But if you want to destroy them, rather than make a living by catering to them, you NEVER treat them as the adults they never were.
