No One But Bob Can Explain OWS
Posted by Bob in Coaching Session on 11/22/2011
Back to the professional commentators’ La La Land:
If someone were doing a commentary on the political group that dispensed hundreds of millions of dollars and, the first thing they would do if they were sane, would be to take a look at those hundreds of millions and thousands of people with a vested interest in it.
But you will not hear a single word about that when it comes to the Occupy Wall Street demonstration.
I have originated and put together marches of thousands in different places, and let me tell you it takes MONEY.
My marchers were working people. They had to take time off from work, which is hard to do if you have a family, and charter their own buses. Several leaders of the Kanawha County textbook protest would stay in our apartment, which became known own as The Kanawha Hilton.
Hundreds of thousands of people around the world have come to the cities. Not one commentary has said a word about cost or manpower.
But out in Media La La Land, every liberal will talk first about the money interests and financing involved. And they declare respectable conservatives “respectable” ONLY if they never mention the money I described as “the education and welfare establishment” in my first book.
OWS is about nothing. It is simply an explosion of resources on the part of the “activist.”
Even Obama’s worshippers said that he had had no job whatever in his life except being a “social activist.” His entire working life was spent in the social activist industry, but no one, least of all a conservative who wants to be respectable, ever mentions the social activist industry he was in.
In fact, that is ONLY explanation for this OWS.
Absolutely nobody can say what they are protesting ABOUT. Standing around yelling about the distribution of income is not a program. Everybody knows that the Communist alternative and the post-War Labor Party alternatives were not just failures, but such embarrassing failures that the last people who want to talk about them are on the political left.
A lot of people are wondering what the hell OWS IS. The real answer would be enlightening, and so is not about to be mentioned by the left and its pet conservatives.
OWS is an explosions of enormous, accumulated financial and manpower resources on the left that have gotten so large they burst out periodically. It’s just that this time they don’t even bother with an explanation.
Discipline: No Tailgating, No Wandering
Posted by Bob in Coaching Session on 11/21/2011
One of the comments on my article about OWS, occupy wall street, began with the statement with the writer doesn’t like bankers either.
This no only has nothing to do with my article, it gets away from the exact point I was making. The whole article was about the fact that OWS has absolutely nothing whatever to do with Wall Street or bankers.
The whole point of the piece was that OWS is simply on the streets because it has lots and lots of money and lots and lots of robots. It doesn’t even claim to have a goal.
The commenter also said that OWS is what we want thousands of our people out doing. Once again, the point of the article was to show that anti-whites have gotten to the point where they have unlimited resources and no ideas at all.
There is an industry of “social activism.” But OWS has gotten it into a comedy stage.
The comment itself was fine, but I use it to make these points.
I am trying to figure out what my basic objection to these points is, and it keeps occurring to me that it is in a category like tailgating. The number of places which are happy to discuss how one feels about bankers is legion.
The point is not the comment, and I hope the commenter doesn’t launch into talking about he said that.
It doesn’t matter.
The point I am making here is that we must discipline ourselves to avoid statements others make all the time.
There is a very important point here that no one would mention outside of BUGS. For all the commentary on whatever the hell OWS is, and nobody knows, my explanation is the real one, that social activism has become such an industry that they just hit the streets regularly without even a pretense that they have anything to say.
This is important. Nobody else can explain OWS.
I get frustrated when anyone here gets off onto comments anybody could make anywhere. The best weapon the anti-whites have is the opposition they allow to speak out.
Remember that what the anti-whites has left now is irrelevance. Every time you slip off of the subject, you are working for them.
Trying to keep us on the subject, as in the case of the Mantra, often feels like trying to push toothpaste back into the tube.
BUT what I have noticed is that our experienced BUGSERS keep slamming anyone who strays even slightly from the point with a Roman Legionnaire kind of mercilessness.
No tailgating, no wandering off into debates over Hitler’s moustache. If anybody does that, no matter how much you like them, sic ‘em!
The La La Land of “Leaders”
Posted by Bob in Coaching Session on 11/20/2011
The Week magazine had a discussion of two proposals to reduce the deficit by changing the currency. The main one was replacing the dollar with a coin, and the other one was stopping the production of pennies.
A penny costs two cents to make by the government. For those who have not done graduate work in economics, I will point out that means we lose a penny for every penny minted.
Paper dollars move fast, and one lasts an average of three years. But in order to get a new dollar from one that is falling apart, you have to send that dollar, and presumably a number of other destroyed dollars, to the US Treasury. Unlike the penny, the government makes money by printing dollars because very, very seldom does anybody bother to send a shredded dollar to the Treasury.
So the government makes money by printing dollars because those who have worn out or torn dollars throw them away. The Week did not mention this point, probably because they didn’t know it.
After discussing these profound issues, The Week reported breathlessly that the only people who seemed interested in these profound Treasury proposals for the dollar and the penny were, respectively, the printing industry and the metals industry.
DUHH!!!
Back in 1976 I published a book a major theme of which was the fact that, in the real world, the left is not made up of the idealists National Review argued with, but of a giant interest group just like any other active in government.
You see, in dedicating itself to arguing about abstract ideology and using untranslated French phrases, National Review, like The Week, was out in lala land.
I wonder how it feels out there in that little world made up of commentators?
Who ELSE would give a flying horse hockey about ending the penny and, once again, trying to impose a metal dollar?
And for all those years until my book came out, respectable conservatives didn’t even NOTICE that, when government spends hundreds of billions of dollars, somebody RECEIVES hundreds of billions of dollars.
The entire leftist persuasion, from professors to bureaucrats to “activists” like the left’s Uncle Tom in the White House, make their livelihood either on money that comes directly from government or from money that is donated by organizations which are deductible from GOVERNMENT taxes.
Like our pro-white leaders who just don’t GET the Mantra, the respectable conservative just didn’t GET the relationship between government money and the people who live on it.
I did get it across, people understood the point, and Reagan won big in 1980.
My whole life seems to be devoted to dragging the paid leadership out of lala land.
Briton’s Life of Delusion
Posted by Bob in Coaching Session on 11/19/2011
Britons are still obsessed with Nazis.
Since Hitler, Communism owned on third of the population of this planet and shot anyone who tried to escape.
And who did Britons talk about?
Nazis.
One reason for this of course is that criticism of the Peace Loving Progressive Peoples’ Republics has always been a sore point with the leftist media. But the British actor Roger Moore hit on an important point those obsessed with ideology can overlook.
In an interview a few years ago, he was asked why so much of British cinemas and books are STILL talking about World War II.
His reply was very common sense. He said, “I think we talk a lot about World War II because that was the last time we WERE anybody.”
That was quite an insight. The world map then was still largely pink showing British colonies. The British Empire was on what Churchill thought was an equal basis with Roosevelt and Comrade Stalin.
In fact, Churchill only discovered at the Yalta Conference that Franky Baby, the Roosevelt who had been his bosom buddy when only Churchill was keeping the War going with Hitler, had no use for him.
Churchill was surprised and hurt and said so at length.
But the simple fact was that the use for his wet little island had passed. Roosevelt was getting ready to share the world with Comrade Stalin, and everybody there knew Churchill’s little Empire was gone, and Britain had ruined itself economically by being the front for the United States and The USSR.
So Britain retreated from reality. They still live in the Time of Illusion, when everybody told them that they were the Bulwark of Freedom and the sun never set on the British Empire.
They still take that crap seriously.
They really DO!!!
Potemkin Patriotism
Posted by Bob in Coaching Session on 11/18/2011
I notice that all the vets are now wearing hats that say “I Am a … Veteran.”
Insert WWII, Iraq, whatever.
And everybody is raising money for veterans.
A person who was drafted might have a right to some fund raising. But those who chose soldiering as their profession are supposed to be taken care of by the government.
But veterans’ welfare has nothing to do with this flood of direct mail and TV ads telling us how wonderful they are.
Also if one wants to be “patriotic,” he may have the raw courage to put an American flag on his car.
In Britain flying the British Colors is often ruled a Hate Crime.
The real reason is that today the only allowable show of “patriotism” is to praise those in actual uniforms or to fly the USA flag.
But no one will repeat the phrase “Mom and Apple Pie.“ It is sexist, racist, and denigrates the diversity of our diet.
In fact in our day patriotism makes not the slightest bit of sense.
There is, officially, no group of people who are Americans and no culture to be loyal to. The words “patriotism” and “melting pot” are like oil and water.
But you need to do SOMETHING on the Fourth of July. So you launch fireworks and keep your mouth shut.
Give Yourself a Break!

When a blackout hits the city, a blind man can give you some excellent advice.
When I was getting my disability my forensic psychiatrist told me that if he had not seen my Federal records, he would have sworn, as a professional, that I could not have done the things I was on record as doing.
I pointed out to him that the records were only part of it, a lot of it had not been declassified yet. I did not add that much of it never would be.
The point here is not me but you.
I am your blind man in a blackout.
I didn’t know I was handicapped. But all my life I have had to really develop abilities and observations to make up for what I couldn’t do, just as a blind man develops skills that seem almost superhuman, but are actually just concentrating hard on developing and using his other senses.
I have only known this since I was judged disabled, so my observations about THAT are recent.
The result is that I am almost unbelievably bad on a lot of things, but what I am good on, I am REALLY good at.
But it’s not all good. All my life people have been seen me do complicated things, and then lose their tempers when I couldn’t do simple things, like remembering. All through my childhood and into middle age, I had people roaring at me.
But it occurs to me that this has another side to it. You have seen me lose my temper here and apologize for it. Only today did I realize that that tendency is exactly the same one that caused people to lose their tempers with me.
You see, a normal person, if there is such a thing, loses his temper if a person functioning at a high level like me forgets something for the fourth time, and causes enormous inconvenience.
On the other hand, I have the same impatience with a lot of things that seem obvious to me but are really special Insights and skills that I developed to make up for my disabilities.
To understand this, think of following a blind man in a blackout. Compared to him you would be a bumbling fool. It is quite conceivable that he would lose his temper: “For God’s sake, man, do you have to knock every damned thing over?”
This gives me an intolerance of the lack of insight of other people, but the insight is the kind I would not have if I had not HAD to develop my abilities in the areas where I presume to give YOU advice.
I think this insight can be useful to anybody. My case is not unique, it is just a more extreme case of what everybody faces. You have strengths and weaknesses that are not at my level of actual clinical disability, but they are there.
Once again the reason I notice this is because it is so extreme in my case. But because of this I can give you some good advice.
You have disabilities you wish other people would understand better. But you have therefore developed strengths in other areas to make up for it.
The result is that you get a lot of pointless bullying when you screw up AGAIN. But another side of this is that you don’t do a lot of pointless bullying, as I do, when someone is in one of your strong areas and seems like a damned fool to you.
Most important, though, is the part of that bullying that you get from YOU.
I spent most of my life kicking MYSELF for forgetting something AGAIN. All of the vicious and agonizing treatment I received from others unfairly was less than what Old Bob did to Old Bob.
A German philosopher once said that if we criticized others the way we go after ourselves we would be classified as sadists.
Give others a break.
The best practice for this is to start by giving YOURSELF a break.
Conspiracy As Usual
Posted by Bob in Coaching Session on 11/16/2011
It is easy for the average person to think there is a conspiracy when, actually, all that exists is an understanding. One very good example is what I said about what you say versus what you know about Israel if you are getting a staff job on Capitol Hill.
You know exactly what you have to say about Israel in an interview on the Hill. At the same time, if you actually BELIEVED that line, you couldn’t get a job in a million years among professionals.
Everybody can look you in the eye and quote, “All men are equal.“ But if somebody actually BELIEVED that, you would watch them carefully as you walked away.
That is why amateurs so easily believe there has to be a downright conspiracy. If I didn’t know that carpenters spend years learning their trade, I could easily believe there was book with The Carpenters’ Conspiracy because the only thing I get from boards and a saw is bleeding hands.
It is true that everybody in the media takes exactly the prescribed position at just the right time. The professional liberal knows exactly what stand to take, and so does the professional conservative.
But that’s not because it’s written down somewhere. It is because that is their meal ticket, their occupation, and you don’t NEED to say it out loud.
Someone from outside our culture would find it hard to believe that there was no written plan. But after all these decades, you and I know exactly what stand National Review or any given talking head is going to take on any of a huge range of things that come up.
The only reason we don’t think it’s a Conspiracy is because we’re used to it.
Wall Street Occupiers: All Dressed Up and No Place to Go
Posted by Bob in Coaching Session on 11/15/2011
The Week Magazine reprinted a cartoon that show some of the Wall Street Occupiers on TV yelling the old hippie slogan, “The whole world is watching!”
In front of the TV was a man who was dead asleep.
We all know why the Occupiers are there. They have been organizing giant, largely Wall Street financed demonstrations for every anti-white cause for fifty years.
They are on the streets because they CAN be. They have lots of resources and nothing to do with them.
But this time they are getting laughed at.
Meanwhile those of us dealing with the real basis of today’s crises are trying desperately to get a hundred, someday 300, people willing to go, not to New York, but to their computers.
The Occupiers have accumulated lots of resources and lifelong participants. But they are so pointless only the media takes them seriously, and today even some of the media are making fun of them.
They are all dressed up with no place to go, and we have places to go but are damned near naked and have our own people, especially AR, standing right in our way.
