I am reading War Through the Ages AGAIN. It was the basic textbook on military history at West Point back when military history was considered relevant for cadets. Nowadays it probably would get in the way of today’s Relevant Reading about Human Relations and how to turn down a queer without hurting his feelings.
There is an explanation of the difference between the strategy of the Roman Empire compared the last comparable Empire, that of Alexander and his father Phillip. The Roman Legion did not, like those short-lived strategies of Phillip and Alexander, begin with a string of uninterrupted victories:
“The system went on, steadily keeping abreast of changing conditions, and each defeat they learned what they had done wrong that time.” The strategy of Alexander, the book points out, ended almost immediately upon his death, and Greeks went back to the old phalanx. It was created and disappeared in a period of half a century.
The Roman system lasted at least five hundred years.
A lot of people know about the short sword. The pilum is seldom recognized by laymen. We have a pilum, the Mantra. We throw that spear and disorganize the enemy ranks. It is vital, but it is not part of the complicated strategy that occurs next, when the Legions go in in their patented formation and gut the enemy individually with short swords.
I am sure those years of development of the Roman Legion saw endless numbers of people saying exactly what we hear on BUGS, “This shoulder to shoulder, same weapons crap is SLAVISH. I want to step out of formation, scream my battle cry, and take on the enemy the way my forefathers did.”
“You know, back when they were losing.”
The Legion was not really slavish. In fact slaves, punished the way Roman citizen-soldiers were, would have died.
No, those who slowly evolved the Legions were not slaves. In fact, the first time citizen-soldiers crossed Rome’s border to go on attack, the soldiers sat down and refused to move until the leaders told them what it was all about.
We can compare our Mantra to the pilum. As I have said, THEN we use the short sword, and we STAY IN FORMATION.
Citizen-soldiers who were ruled by two elected consuls, each ruling on alternative days, formed this “slavelike” strategy.
They were rigidly trained and consistent:
“The Romans are successful …for their exercises are battles without bloodshed and their battles bloody exercises.”

Television and movies are the key to their control over us! We should, as a people, stop watching the stuff!

One of many keys. It is important to keep young, impressionable minds from it. I think education how media is anti-white is just as important as isolation from the media.

The only thing that matters is effectiveness. The mantra is a tool that WORKS, our method of using it is a system that WORKS.
I am not a special little snowflake who needs to have my own cute little methods that are uniquely mine to validate my individuality and boost my ego. I have an objective and I use whatever means are most effective to achieve that objective.
99.9% of the words and concepts I use, in fact almost everything anyone uses was developed by other men. Are we all “slaves” because we all use the word “window” to describe a pane of glass in the wall, instead of making up our own word? Of course not.

Thanks for that wonderful second paragraph. The talent at BUGS can be punishing to egos that are used to standing out, to being special. I’m still getting used to the fact that there are people here who are cleverer, funnier, etc. etc. etc. than I.
it’s hilarious that some who hear about BUGS imagine that there’s no room here for individual intelligence and creativity, when I find BUGS to be a challenge to both! And I’ve always been regarded as intelligent and creative.
Anyone who enjoys having their individual abilities challenged and strengthened should find a very happy home at BUGS!
#5 by Gar5 on 01/29/2012 - 12:58 pm
That’s the wonderful thing about a team of individuals with a consistent message; it stays fresh and vibrant, which then brings in more individuals.
Anyway, after reading Swarmfront Bugs, I noticed that most pro-Whites there that weren’t Bugsters seemed to be under the impression that we wanted them to give up their beliefs and worship us like a religion.
So now I’m working on slicing up Horus’ podcasts (which I’ll put on Youtube) to explain things to the pro-White that have misconceptions about Bugs.

Epiphany and Crazylvan, what are those Stormfront comments doing in BUGS?
#7 by CrazyIvan on 01/30/2012 - 2:17 am
Sorry I should have not done that. I know what I’m doing wrong and I still do it. Stupid.
#8 by Simmons on 01/29/2012 - 10:43 am
We have to admit the primitive way of doing battle even runs in our DNA. The German barbarians used it, the wild Scots used it, they basically lost the war even if they won some battles.
The cannibals of the south Pacific meet on the battle field and the warriors from both sides take turns dancing in front of one another in a ritual, and maybe some actual killing takes place.
At our News & Jews sites our young warriors of the web get the chance to go out in front of the army and dance by telling their N&J story. Read any SBDL thread for example.

There are those who should get a short sword in the gut because they are evil. Then there are those who should be made to sit on a short sword and spin because they are stupid.
#10 by Bob on 01/29/2012 - 11:49 am
E and C, what are these Stormfront comments doing in BUGS?
#11 by Harumphty Dumpty on 01/29/2012 - 12:41 pm
Simmons: “SBDL”?
#12 by Genseric on 01/29/2012 - 12:44 pm
Bob,
Largely, the Western world has relied upon the laurels of our forefathers. This, has caused many of us to become LAZY and impotent…
For me, it all boils down to discipline. Which is precisely why we should go out of our way to court recruits with a background in the military and/or team sports.
I am going to work on a questionnaire entitled “Is the Swarm for me?” It will be comprised of a twenty or thirty point inspection designed to weed out the undesirables the same way the Marines do.
I post the FULL Mantra wherever I can.

Genseric, this is another one of your exquisitely hilarious jokes, right? RIGHT??!!!
Genseric, I love ya, I really do…you inspire me, you raise my spirits, and your humor keeps me in stitches.
But I have this niggling fear that this time you’re being serious!
#15 by Genseric on 01/29/2012 - 3:14 pm
You think we have a hard time recruiting folks now?
Could you imagine?
#16 by Genseric on 01/29/2012 - 3:16 pm
There are really only a handful of questions I truly care about in that list.
#17 by OldBlighty on 01/29/2012 - 9:22 pm
TLDR.
I would ask only one question. It separates the wheat from the chaff. I have no doubts about Pro Whites that answer it in the affirmative.
1. Will you post the Mantra and report it on BUGS right now?
#18 by Genseric on 01/30/2012 - 1:58 am
I remain somewhat skeptical. First there were 90. Now there are 50.
Could it be that it also takes a killer instinct to see the value in the Mantra?
Discipline.
#19 by OldBlighty on 01/30/2012 - 3:50 am
Politics ebbs and flows. Some people doing this kind of work are going to burn out, until something big happens and they get back into it.
“Could it be that it also takes a killer instinct to see the value in the Mantra?”
Most Whites, even the Pro White ones are still in the ‘nothing can touch us’ mindset (White Supremacy). They haven’t fully grokked that White Minority is coming soon and we will have to start addressing the issue Directly. All it will take is for us to start losing big and the hobbyist Pro Whites, will be gone for good.
So don’t worry about strict selections. Anyone that will post the Mantra, or use it some other way, is an asset.
#20 by Harumphty Dumpty on 01/30/2012 - 7:00 am
“Most Whites, even the Pro White ones are still in the ‘nothing can touch us’ mindset (White Supremacy).”
So true. That’s a really hard feeling to get out of one’s bones.
#21 by The Old Man of the Mountain on 01/29/2012 - 2:09 pm
Today most folks believe that Romans invented the world and everything in it.
The truth is that Romans did not invent so much as folks believe that they did.
History is written by the Victor, and the Romans were quite victorious; not due to their inventiveness, but because they adapted what worked.
#22 by Frank on 01/29/2012 - 3:53 pm
Bob is batting in the thousands, loading us with new training and tactics, week after week, and especially the Pilum and Short Sword …..
And yet we still have this training ground littered with a knucklehead who thinks he’s having an N&J epiphany?
Time to sweep the training ground clean.
#23 by MarkMuses on 01/29/2012 - 9:09 pm
The Special Air Service have a tradition called the “wash up” where a “free and frank exchange of views” occurs to put it politely.
The point is they look to learn after every mission whether it succeeded or failed.
My gripe is BUGS doesn’t have, or perhaps cannot afford to fully have a “wash up” because KEEPING FORMATION is CARDINAL in the face of agent provocateurs and malcontents.
This is unfortunate, but perhaps a price worth paying for the time being at least…
#24 by herrMajor on 01/29/2012 - 10:54 pm
Oh bob, those guys are just non-bugsters who like to comment. Either disinformation or ignorance of what BUGS is about.
__________
I’d like to ask you a personal question, if you will read it, or even answer.
I’m a young man, of college age, and I’m considering studying politics and Economics for a career in politics (not unlike your own).
Do you have any advice on what to study for ( such as material) and any good recommendations for universities to apply to? As well as a good outline for what to study in to benefit my race.
Also studies in genetic science regarding race would be nice 😀
#25 by Gavin on 01/30/2012 - 1:24 am
Asking on Bob’s blog for advice on what material to study to learn about politics. LOL
Also if you want to know Bob’s opinion on University, he did write a book about it. readbob.com
#26 by herrMajor on 01/30/2012 - 2:35 pm
I’ve actually read that book, I finished it before I became a BUSGTER.
I read “Professor Priesthood” (loved the chapter about the Kommies on campus.)
When Thor asked Wotan for advice on how to deal with the Ice giants, Wotan never said “Go read the eddas boy!”.

This article inspired me to make this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSxHR31Gv2Q
#28 by OldBlighty on 01/30/2012 - 6:24 am
I LOLed through most of that video.
It really shows you how ridiculous this situation is. As Bob says, the anti-Whites are just plain silly and when enough people figure it out, they are finished.
#29 by Harumphty Dumpty on 01/30/2012 - 6:27 pm
Gavin, I just responded with the following to a PM that mentioned your (extremely entertaining!) video:
I saw your comment about that, and watched it half asleep in the middle of the night, and loved it until…I almost made a total ass of myself by complaining on bugs that he’d said “name the jew”, etc….thank goodness I woke up enough to suddenly see what he’d done!
A great video. Perfect for bugsters and hopefully most pro-Whites…I’m a little concerned that even some pro-Whites, and certainly a LOT (MOST?) of ordinary viewers will make the same mistake I did and assume the “name the Jews”, etc. are part of the video-maker’s message. Some tweaking (maybe putting those comments in a different kind of lettering, a lettering of a style that suggests frantic stupidity?) could make the distinction clearer to viewers who’re not in the know about the policies we follow, but I don’t know if that’s easily done technically.
#30 by Gavin on 01/30/2012 - 7:40 pm
Thanks for the advice. Always good to have an outside perspective. I will probably edit a few things and reupload a video.
#31 by Harumphty Dumpty on 01/30/2012 - 8:55 pm
If you don’t mind an additional thought, I was later thinking that maybe some lettering for those statements that is quaintly staid, that will contrast in the viewer’s mind with the action on the screen as well as with the lettering that comes before and after, and which suggests everything other than the here and now of the combat in progress and the need to confront it.
And maybe have all those remarks introduced by some statement in real large letters that clearly introduces a shift in perspective, and another such statement that announces a shift back.
If you can do that or whatever you decide to do without adding distracting artificialities to the smooth flow you’ve already created!
#32 by BGLass on 01/30/2012 - 8:52 am
“Most Whites, even the Pro White ones are still in the ‘nothing can touch us’ mindset (White Supremacy).”
So true. That’s a really hard feeling to get out of one’s bones….
The only thing on that which people get out of their bones is their own lack of humility.
anything on the planet can, indeed, happen to you and yours.
