I have written over four thousand articles since Whitaker Online started in September of 1998.
But I am no longer in charge of the articles that mean most to me. If I read the count aright, there are still less than a thousand BUGS SWARM comments. BUGS SWARM keeps me going, so this is not entirely a complaint.
But it breaks my heart that BUGS SWARM is nota giant list of you reporting where you copied and pasted.
The strategy statements in BUGS SWARM make me want to stand up and cheer. All those years when I was trying to get The Tome People onto nose-to-nose phalanx fighting any tiny variation in their discussion with the other side would throw them right back into endless explanations no one would quote.
And even those were not even a handful. NOBODY understood Mantra work. In my first ten years people would watch me tear up the other side and convince listeners, they would brag to each other how good I was, and then they would not hear one single word when I tried to explain it to them.
One Ole Bob simply cannot be a SWARM. What we have is a LOT better than back when I was almost the only effective person in Stormfront Opposing Views until Lord Nelson and a few others came along YEARS later.
I doubted myself, despite the years of successful paid expertise I took in with me.
But I think that now I finally understand that what I was trying to do was a bigger job than I thought it was.
I was not just trying to get in points that I could demonstrably win with. From the time I coined the phrase “respectable conservative” I was introducing a complete mindset that was as alien to our good guys as it was to the bad guys.
Our two-headed establishment — I first used that term publicly in a 1976 book — liberals and their pet opposition of respectable conservatives — look at the whole world from a Mommy Professor prospective.
The same was true in the Opposing Views on Stormfront. Their side was arguing that we were racists, and our side was obediently DENYING that they were white racists.
It is, quite literally, a cultural shock to realize that the only race that genocide is really being aimed at in the real world is the white race, and it shows the power of the other side over OUR minds that as we were having genocide practiced against us, we spent all our time denying we were advocating genocide!
BUGS SWARM is not just the only group that is handling the debate correctly.
BUGS SWARM is the only group that realizes what the debate IS!

the next step after defending, “I am not a racist” seems stupidly embracing the label and saying “So what if I AM a racist!” The proud of my people shtik. Systems analysis/ big picture, meta-perspective, the world view– is a new step. “oh, yeah, we can see how moral you all are now.”
One point against this is that pointing this out is “situational ethics,” which is supposedly evil and construed as liberalism (connected to enlightenment and what protestantism really secretly is, which is really, then, just a form of ‘jew-liberalism’ (so protestants being so prevalent in america is why we have the “judeo-christianity that protestants made happen— from the anti-white-(posing as religious type)- point of view. yet throughout history and now those identified as religious “heretics” are white. others are objects of pity who need money. Weird beliefs abound the world over, but like border towns, there are border beliefs. no one goes into africa and burns the maori at the stake.

IMO, Mantra introduces a focus to one’s mindset. The N&J seems to destroy a person’s focus and mental well being.
Take the Occidental Dissent blog, that poor kid in trying to keep up with N&J is having a mental breakdown on the net. Then other commentators will laugh at him because they are tougher and can keep up with the N&J and have pithier “ideas.”
N&J destroys Mantra saves, my .02 worth

Don’t get too far into the dumps boss. There are a lot of mantra speakers that have never visited this site. I have personally convinced at least a half dozen to use the mantra. Two fully grasp the concept, the rest just like to win arguments. Which is more effective? I don’t know. The boss doesn’t care if the ditchdigger knows what the hole is for as long as it gets dug.

That the BUGS Swarm is the only group that realizes the debate accurately is not a trivial point. It is a stupendous point. It is all that is required.
We BUGSTERS are dealing with the Semmelweis Reflex when we confront our opposition, which means that it is ordinary that the dominant opinions they espouse are disconnected from reality.
But it even goes further than that. It is natural to expect that Robert Whitaker himself would find it hard to believe that in truth, he alone is all that is necessary.
Since we do not live in a real society, let us just say that the prevailing social fact is a massively misdirected focus of perceptions and energies. These have a peculiar nested quality to them. It is usual for people to be properly focused in the details of their lives, yet gigantically misdirected and unfocused in the most basic, most fundamental, and most important matters.
I don’t think calling Mantra thinking “a world view” quite gets at it. Rather, it is the quality of Robert Whitaker’s own intellect. Robert Whitaker is head and shoulders above ANY of the great intellects of the 20th century. He has bested them all and bested them profoundly.
That Robert Whitaker gets held accountable for occasional errors in facts is laughable. Do you have any idea of how many mistakes and errors there are in the works of Michelangelo?
Robert Whitaker is another Ignaz Semmelweis. Because he is here, he shall remain. Our enemies will never be able to get rid of him. And that is what dooms them.
There is going to be a whole lot of people, even partisans on our side, who will never “get” Mantra thinking. But it doesn’t matter. Those of us that do get it, get to drive the bus. And that is what matters.

Thanks for the kick in the rear a little while back. I’ve stepped up my on-line efforts since. You’ve always been good for that.

The Mantra is a small piece of Bob Whitaker articulated. I thank my lucky stars everyday that Bob shared himself with us.

BUGS thinking is freedom for humanity.
Its practical political applications are lightning for the people to strike at tyranny wherever and whenever it operates.
It’s a great hammer smashing the serpent’s head on a base of Iron.

Seeing WNs argue they are not racist always annoyed me. No until I saw the mantra did I see an effective response. I’m glad you’re on our side Bob.
