I have exercised a staggering amount of power in my life. None of it fit any of the macho clichés.

If you want to know exactly how to handle huge amounts of money, you can get endless amounts of advice in your local bar. Find a guy who can’t afford a drink and buy him one. He will give all the advice you ever wanted to hear about how to make and use money.

People who have never actually handled large amounts of money can tell you exactly how you can make money grow and where it should be put.

Ask a real self-made multimillionaire exactly what you should do with large amounts of money and he will probably give you no answer at all. If he does give you advice, it will very cautious and lengthy and, above all, it will not be anywhere near as interesting as what you will hear in the bar from the guy whose drink you had to pay for.

The person who has never been responsible for large sums of money can tell you all about it.

Exactly the same rule applies when it comes to power.

At a recent convention a nice old guy was marching around telling everybody, “Mao Tse Tung said that power comes from the barrel of a gun.” This gentleman, of course, had never had any power at all, so he knew all about it.

The fact is that no war hero ever made any difference in real history. People worship war heroes and despise the guys in the suits. But the fact is that the reason thousands or millions of guys are out there dying in their uniforms is because a few guys in the suits PUT them there.

Much more common is another piece of Wisdom people who have never had any power or money love to repeat:

“Power is all about money.”

The wonderful thing about this piece of Wisdom is that it sounds so good. It is just the sort of thing a person who has never had either power or money loves to say, because it shows he knows all about both power AND money.

Boy, that sounds not only Practical and Wise, it sounds MACHO:

“Power is all about money.”

It reminds me of a poor little very rich guy named George Soros. Soros has billions of dollars and hates George Bush with an obsessive passion. He spent $27 million in the 2004 election and had not the slightest impact on the results.

It would have been less embarrassing for Soros if he had accidentally HELPED Bush by his efforts. What was really embarrassing was that he had not the slightest impact at whatsoever.

Money is exactly like water. As Rudyard said in his poem “Gunga Din,”

You may talk o’ gin and beer
When you’re quartered safe out ‘ere,
An’ you’re sent to penny-fights an’ Aldershot it;
But when it comes to slaughter
You will do your work on water,
An’ you’ll lick the bloomin’ boots of ‘im that’s got it.

When you don’t have water, water is everything. When you don’t have air, air is all that matters. When you don’t have money, money is all that matters. But if you DO have water, you may talk of gin and beer and despise water. When you have no trouble breathing, you use the expression, “It’s as easy as breathing.” When you’re broke, like the guy in the bar, money is everything.

Let me explain a simple rule to you about power and, separately, about money. Many, many times the Wall Street Journal has reported the results of actual experiments comparing highly paid financial experts with monkeys.

In every case, the monkey spins a wheel or throws an object and the investment is made on the basis of what the monkey hit on. Those results are then compared to a wide range of — let me repeat this –- advice given by highly paid financial consultants.

In every case, the results are dead even. But real people with real money still hired those same financial consultants and paid them the big bucks. These tests were scientifically conducted, but no one pays them any attention.

It just FEELS better to lose your money on the advice of big-time consultant than on the basis of a dart-throwing monkey. Everybody would consider you a complete idiot to bank on the monkey, and everybody, including you, would not feel bad about banking on the same consultant all the other moneyed people bank on.

In the real world, the fact that it amounts to exactly the same thing means nothing to you or to others.

Exactly the same thing is true of highly-paid political consultants. Once you are a name in the business of political consulting, you will always be a big name in the field of political consulting.

This is because of Whitaker’s Rule of Political Consulting. Two kinds of people hire big-time political consultants. One is the guy who has a lot of money and suddenly decides he wants to be a senator or at least a congressman. He hires a big name.

When he fails, nobody blames the consultant. It was silly, everybody says, for the rich guy to have thought he could buy that office in the first place.

The few times such a rich guy wins, all the credit goes to the political genius, and he charges more next time.

Have you ever noticed that, after a presidential campaign, you hear all about the geniuses who guided the winning campaign and you never see a word about the big-time campaign managers who LOST?

Losers are not news. You only hear about them when they win.

Whitaker’s Law of Political Consulting says that once a man attains the status of political genius, you will only hear about him when he wins. For that reason, once you become a big-money political consultant, you will always be a big-time political consultant.

The same is true of financial consulting. Nobody wants to hear about the losers. So they only hear about a financial genius when he wins.

So the guy in the bar actually believes that all a man needs to make his money grow is one of the financial geniuses only rich people can afford. That, he tells you wisely, is the only reason rich people make money and he needs you to buy him a drink.

I never had the heart to ask such a person if he ever heard of rich people who LOST money.

I never had the heart to ask that same man if he ever heard about it when a big-time political consultant LOST an election.

The whole point of buying the guy a drink is to relax and listen to his nonsense. It’s all for fun.

But out in the real world where real power and real lives and real money are at stake, this macho crap is much, much less amusing.

The whole point of WhitakerOnline.org is to spread ideas.

This is why respectable conservatives are so absolutely vital to liberals. Respectable conservatives have endless hours on the media, and they give the impression there is some sort of opposition in America. And almost everybody who reads WhitakerOnline spends his entire time and resources backing respectable conservatives.

So I ask very little. All I ask is that those who read WhitakerOnline USE my points.

For example, my book makes the point over and over and over and over that Political Correctness is not LIKE a religion. It IS a religion.

PC could be proven legally to be a religion.

So someone read my book, read WhitakerOnline.org and, predictably, he comments, “Whitaker says Political Correctness is like a religion.”

This makes me very, very, very tired.

You see, he had been reading respectable conservatives, and they were using that kind of language. You have to be gentle. You have to correct those well-meaning people, so he naturally used the fatal word “like.”

Conservatives spend their entire time 1) proving that they are not racists or isolationists or whatever the latest liberal charge is and 2) trying to show they want exactly what liberals want and they have a better way to get it. So they want “assimilation” and they have decided that this “melting pot” and “diversity” can be accomplished better their way.

I keep pointing out the “We the People … and OUR posterity” is the ONLY purpose of the United States. The Founding Fathers were exactly what liberals now call racists and isolationists, and they said so.

And I keep pointing out that is the ONLY authority on which our actual Constitution is based. That is the ONLY purpose of our Constitution.

But the problem is, once again, that you are getting your wording from respectable conservatives. When a liberal or a respectable conservative hears that, he says, “But that isn’t ALL there is.”

Once again, that huge difference is exactly what I said. The Founding Fathers did not LIKE government. It was set up precisely to be limited to an exact authority and an exact purpose and absolutely nothing else. It was not to help Iraq. It was not to protect illegal immigrants. It was not for all mankind or other people’s concerns.

The Founding Fathers accomplished their charity personally. They did not believe the government should be the instrument of anything it didn’t have to be.

I said, “anything.” If you want to convince liberals and Old Testament wordists that the United States Government is supposed to spread Political Correctness or the Gospel of Jehovah to the world in general, I wish you hadn’t read my stuff.

I said Political Correctness IS a religion. If you say it is LIKE a religion, I wish you hadn’t read my stuff.

I mean what I say, and what I say is not like anything you will read anywhere else.

The distinctions ARE the whole point.

My father and I never got along. But there was one time I was glad to see him. At the age of eighteen I was in a small town in Germany working on a brick plant.

In a sophisticated part of Germany I would have been surrounded by Germans who spoke perfect English. No brick plant is ever in a sophisticated place. In a town of two thousand or so people only three spoke English.

The problem is that, even to talk to them, I had to speak very correct English and use words they would know. For five months I spoke German and a very, very careful kind of English.

You know how I like to play with language and make jokes. I couldn’t do it there in English. And expressing myself in German was extremely hard work.

So when my father arrived, I was ecstatic to be able to speak South Carolinaese again. Nobody around me understand a word we were saying. It was the kind of English that let my father and me understand what illiterate blacks were saying.

Being able to talk freely is like water or oxygen. When you miss it, nothing else counts.

When you are dealing in a foreign language you find that all expression is a burden. It takes me at least a week to get back into Spanish.

All this sounds very classy and internationalist, but if you are on the ground, it is a pain in the keester.

When you can’t express yourself freely, it feels like suffocation.

I have the same problem in talking with people about politics or history.

You are asked to explain something. The person you are talking to thinks the BIBLE says, “All men are created equal.” He finds that that is in the Declaration of Independence. It then falls upon you to explain that the Declaration of Independence is NOT the Constitution. Then you have to explain that “all men are created equal” was written for the FRENCH. The Declaration of Independence was written in wartime as a propaganda document.

By this time the person you are talking to is getting very, very tired of all this.

But the fact is that the Constitution says nothing about human equality of mankind in general. And the Declaration is not the Constitution. The Constitution is the Constitution.

About the twentieth time someone asks you earnestly about something, you get very, very tired of having to go all the way back to the basics.

You get very, very tired. When I speak about politics or history with a person who learned it all from his preacher and Shawn Hannity and his granddaddy, I have the same suffocated feeling I do when I have to talk in what I know of a foreign language.

I should feel very proud. I know a lot of stuff the other guy doesn’t know. I should feel very proud that I am speaking in a foreign language. William Buckley will never get over his joy at the fact that he speaks Spanish and French and knows a lot of Latin phrases.

But for me it is all work and suffocation. I want to be able to use terms like “Wordism” and the ongoing genocide against whites and hear what you have to say about it. I want to talk to and listen to people who already understand what the tide of history is, and the difference between that and normal politics.

I want to discuss things with people who already understand why respectable conservatives have to be none too bright.

I am TIRED of beginning again and again and again. It is like one of those nightmares where you are trying to run in knee-deep molasses. I have spent my life in knee-deep molasses.

I have written it all down. I have told it all a hundred times. I am sixty-four years old. I wish a few people would read what I have to say and make themselves able to understand reality. Then I could learn from THEM.

What a glorious thought!

What a breath of fresh air!

Con men make their livings on the fact that you can make plenty of money by selling something that doesn’t WORK. Great inventors die broke all the time.

All of the history of science may be deduced from one fact:

A product can either be saleable or it can WORK.

Millions of people died because the old Humor Theory of Galen was so saleable. First of all, it was written in ancient Rome in Latin, so universities stood by it to the death. Only the intellectuals could understand it.

As early as the 1500’s the germ theory of disease was in circulation. But, as I explain in my book, it was rejected because it struck at the very basis of the Galen theory of the intellectuals. Galen wrote, in Latin, that human health was a balance of “humors”. To cure disease, you bled people so that these non-existent “humors” were balanced.

It didn’t work, but it was written in ancient Rome, in Latin.

I have exactly the same problem. I teach a history where the good guys don’t always win.

If someone tries to bring some reality into history, he gets questions like, “But doesn’t that mean that men are not equal?” Or “But doesn’t that mean the conversion to Christianity was a step backwards instead of a step forward?”

My version is Christianity depends entirely on its being TRUE, not on its being a social step forward. But the average church-goer demands that the church be more than just the saving of an individual soul. It must be everything else, too.

What good is God if He just saves souls. He had to invent the world in six days, too or He’s no fun.

In my version of history, facts are simply true.

But history has to be saleable, history has to be fun, and history has to come out right. The people who do all the good things have to be kind, pretty, and well-intentioned. That is history you can sell.

But it isn’t true.

You can sell a giant conspiracy theory. A giant conspiracy theory, on the left where it is the rich people getting together to exploit everyone else, or on the right where Communists sit at a table and plan everything, is exciting.

A giant conspiracy theory has another great advantage. If you believe in it, it takes all the responsibility off of you. It’s THEIR fault, not yours, and there is nothing you can do about it.

You can have a theory where democracy, free enterprise and goodness will make a new world.

My stuff brings you down from all that with a disappointing thump. It just sees people as people, and it concentrates on what WORKS for human beings as they are.

But I attack problems one at a time. I do not offer a giant ultimate solution.

Right now I am attacking the academic bureaucracy. It would solve a lot of very serious problems if people joined me. But they want to join something that takes on all the problems at once, something that sounds exciting.

University professors are not geniuses in on a giant conspiracy. They are hothouse bureaucrats gone wild just like every other group of hothouse bureaucrats gone wild. Meanwhile, the guys who get the attention are those like Bill O’Reilly, who sit around and wonder how those great minds have gone wrong.

The truth is a very hard sell.

My team leader told me to write an Insider Letter on my topic for this week’s Saturday Internet broadcast at

Stormfront.org Townhall Forum

“But, Bob, this is WhitakerOnline.ORG. Surely WHITAKER gives orders to everybody else!”

No way.

When I was on Capitol Hill I would write a speech for one of the congressmen I worked for. My highly-paid secretary would type it up, but she would not let me TOUCH the original. She made me wait until she had made copies and she would trust me with one of the copies.

Like her, my team boss is responsible for giving ME orders. I can overrule him, but I very seldom do. I do what I do, and I assigned him the responsibility for making it work. He takes the responsibility, so he must have the authority.

When I was in Washington, I fired people. If you have ever done that, you know how hard it is. But when I “delegated,” I did more than that. I said,

“I don’t delegate, I DUMP.”

I had a reputation for not hesitating to fire people. But at least two people offered to take PAY CUTS to work for me. Why? Because they were the kind of people who longed to have a boss who would give them an assignment, take the heat for any mistake they made, and let them alone to do the job.

My motto was, “I will take responsibility for any mistake you make, but I will NOT take responsibility for your NOT doing it.”

Good people LOVE that. Good people go nuts over that opportunity.

Did I mention they offered to take pay CUTS?

As to what my show will be about, I plan to talk some about the New Orleans Conference I spoke at. It was sponsored by Stormfront, headed by David Duke and run by James Kelso, who does the nitty-gritty running of Stormfront.

But my main topic will be Wordism and its first cousin, classism. These are both strategies used against the survival of our race.

A country can be organized on the lines of race and kinship, as the United States was. Or it can be based on loyalty to someone’s version of a Holy Book, as Islam is. It makes no difference what The Book is that the person is giving his version of. It can be an obedient little brown Moslem country or an obedient little brown Latin American country whose only uniting principle is the Catholic Church or, in recent years, an Evangelical Church.

The least-known fact of modern history is how serious evangelicals have replaced tired old Catholic hierarchies in running South America.

But Moslem, evangelical, Catholic or Moslem, the basis of Wordism is the tyranny of the Word, somebody’s version of The Final Truth. Anyone who disagrees with this Final Truth is a traitor. In a Wordist society, there can be no freedom of thought or freedom of speech.

Only a society based on kinship, on what is called “racism,” as America was, can have freedom of belief.

I guess most of you have heard the one about the Texan and Paul Revere.

But, as I usually say when I start to tell an old joke:

“Now if you’ve heard this one before, try and stop me.”

A Texan was talking to a New Englander and going on and on about the great heroes of Texas: Davy Crockett, Sam Houston, John Travis and on and on.

The New Englander said, “You know, Texans aren’t the only ones who had heroes. We had some up east, too!”

The Texan asked, “Like who?”

“Well,” the New Englander replied, “There was Paul Revere.”

“Who?” the Texan asked. Then he suddenly remembered the name.

“Oh. You mean the guy who ran for help.”

Actually Paul Revere was the messenger of the Revolution in more ways than his somewhat overblown ride. We all know he was a silversmith, but being a silversmith required him to be an artist. Sam Adams got him to make the first famous propaganda painting of the “Boston Massacre.”

The “embattled farmers” who fought the British would not have been there if messengers had not gotten to them. Revere’s ride was not particularly dangerous when he made it, but it was an act of treason from the British point of view. He could have gotten hanged for it later, and hanging in those days was not scientific. It was an awful way to die.

In wartime, before radios, a messenger had just as good a chance of getting killed as any soldier at the front.

You who carry the message today know the risk and the cost and the effort associated with it. You also know that, like messengers of the past, you will get little credit for your efforts and risks. The general who issues the orders gets credit. The brave troops who stand at the front get credit.

But if the messenger gets caught and shot, just how often will that show up in the history books?

All I read is items like, “The general sent out four messengers, but only one made it.”

Spreading ideas is absolutely critical. But about all the credit you will ever get for it is to be the one who “didn’t make it” or “the one who made it,” no name attached.

Like the messengers in earlier days, you are not in it to get your name attached. You use my ideas because it is what you can do for the cause, and the cause cannot live without it.

That frustrating talk you have with your neighbor is as critical to this war as any heroic public statement or the open demonstrations those hundreds of private talks will eventually lead to.

The message is getting out because you are the messenger.

I will be on Saturday at 6 PM, EDT, for the second edition of my weekly Internet radio show. I am getting lots of listeners. *
You go to WhitakerOnline Townhall Archive: “THE UNTRAINED EYE” and listen in.

This huge WOL list is, as one of my team said, “the deadest list I have ever heard of” – which means you don’t respond. Let me tell you one of the No-Nos of “working” any list, be it direct mail or this one. You NEVER tell the people on the list anything bad about themselves.

But my list consists of people who want to hear it like I see it, or you don’t belong here. This is no place for touchy people.

We required you to sign up again for the list some time ago, and those I am writing to now did that. So you want to hear what I have to say, and that is more than enough for my needs.

My ideas keep coming up on cable networks, though they have no idea where they came from and wouldn’t credit me if they did. Considering how effective the other side is in suppressing dissident thought, anyone who makes his living or depends for his influence on a “live” list is going to be stopped or watered down to nothing.

My enemies DO realize how dangerous I am, but there is nothing they can do about it. I write what you are thinking, I make you say, “So THAT is what occurred to me!” Then you have it to use in conversations and to make your own points more clearly, and it goes out.

A good, entertaining set of ideas is a deadly weapon.

That’s the way I’m doing my radio show. Everybody in radio likes to talk about how informal they are, but they are surrounded by the sword of Damocles on every side. The radio station and the company that owns it is responsible for everything they say.

I truly, sincerely, and with all my heart don’t give a damn. There is no money here. There is no FCC license here. I don’t LIKE offending people, but if it is a choice between telling the truth or somebody taking offense, I have no dog in this fight.

I get no money. I get no credit. I am in this to say what seems obvious to me in plain English. That is ALL this whole enterprise is for.

For any other kind of communications besides the Internet, everybody else needs some kind of sponsor. On the radio or TV or cable, you have to sell a religious creed or some other program some rich guy wants pushed, even if you are doing it free.

Nobody even SUGGESTS what I should talk about.

If you truly want to listen to somebody say what he is thinking, no holds barred, listen to my show.

And if you like the ideas, use them.

Tonight, Saturday, May 7, internet broadcasting will reach a new level.
Please note that I did not say a new HIGH level. There are laws about Truth in Advertising, and I have enemies in high places, low places, and places that cannot be mentioned in a family publication.

Tonight, May 7 at 6 pm Eastern Daylight Savings Time, I will host a one-hour program on Duke Radio. It can be heard through Stormfront,

http://Stormfront.com

and at

http://davidduke.com

or directly when On Air by

copy/pasting WebCast Streaming Radio URL into your program’s play address box or click here:
http://67.43.157.31:8000/listen.pls

It will be archived, so those of you who miss it can laugh at me by hearing it later on the two websites given above or from my blog.

Why am I doing this? Because they asked me to.

David Duke has a one-hour radio show every day at 6PM EDT except on Saturday. I am a very good guest. James Edwards has a radio station in Memphis that also goes out on the Internet. His best guest to date in drawing power was Bay Buchanan, which is the big leagues.

But James said that when I’m on, I outdraw even Bay two to one!

The reason I’m so interesting is precisely the reason so few people ask me to be a guest these days. I say what you are thinking, which is what I do on WhitakerOnline.

So David Duke asked me to take over a show on my own.

This is fascinating. I have been an amateur radio license-holder for some fifty years. I did a very short stint as a radio announcer at the University of South Carolina in the 1950s. James Kelso coached me through a trial run, and it is a lot like ham radio the way I do it.

David Duke has been a professional radio announcer. He had a program in Louisiana that outdrew Rush Limbaugh for two years. But David couldn’t get sponsors.

So David has an impressive introduction. I won’t start with a prerecorded intro and music. That’s not because of modesty. One of the best announcers in the business has offered to do my intro, and I will take him up on it eventually.

This is the reason I will not have an intro, and it is very important to anyone who listens to my first show:

An intro means one more button to push.

My goal for the first show is to get through the show.

I am NOT kidding you about this. I have to keep the show going while learning to use my headset and the little equipment I need to use so Duke Radio can handle all the technical stuff for me. If you take off the headset, which I will have to do sometimes (a headset is a set of headphones with the mic attached) you can get a sound that is like an explosion to the listener.

There are a dozen things I have to learn, and I will be learning all of them Saturday. I will be sitting here doing all that alone, and will have to be on the phone, too, if I need technical help, which I will. And any references I need, including WhitakerOnline archives and Stormfront comments, will be on my computer screen and I will have to use the mouse and keyboard there.

All this with only two hands and half a brain.

You should get a hoot out of it.

So will I. I have long since discovered that the only way to do something is to go ahead and do it. As for screwing up, I lost my ability to be embarrassed about the time your granddaddy’s parents first let him go to the outhouse by himself.

This week could be boring except for when I step on my headset, but James Edwards said he would be guest whenever I ask him, so if this week’s a bust, he can make the next one interesting.

David Duke has already developed an audience. This broadcast reaches the entire planet earth. You can hear it clear as a bell in Antarctic. The audience is all over Europe, all over America, Australia, New Zealand, EVERYWHERE. It is banned in Germany and France and, Germany and France hear it.

There are more people with computers today around the world than had radios in 1950.

Our little headsets are destroying monopolies the media spent decades and billions of dollars to get.

I may make a lot of crashes and be talking into my show when I think it’s the microphone, but the world media monopoly don’t see a bit of humor in it.

I’ll be having a good time. The media moguls won’t.

That’s 6 pm Saturday EDT.
