FEAR
Posted by Dick_Whitman in Coaching Session, Musings about Life, Political Correctness on 7/10/2012
FEAR: The greatest barrier to success and creation.
Being relaxed, without worry, unafraid, and confident in the moment allows you to be more creative and perceive reality with more clarity. The reason the military does drills over and over is to prepare people to carry out tasks when they’re extremely fearful. It’s hard to think straight when you’re scared.
That which holds back humans most is fear.
The fear response is useful if a tornado is ripping through town or when wild animals attack. If you’re on the African savanna and a lion attacks you or a giant baboon comes at you the fear response is there to take over when reason won’t work anymore. You wouldn’t try to reason with a lion. Wild animals live in almost constant fear.
Sometimes humans can be like wild animals as well (which is the result of fear). Here’s an example of a person, (who probably teaches at an Ivy League school?), who is no different than an animal. I found this comment at a website called “Mind Book.” At Mind Book’s home page they describe the site as follows:
“Mind book is a respectful social network comprised of open-minded people that have a passion for consciousness-elevating, stimulating, and meaningful ideas and information.” (1)
So now that you have an introduction to “Mind Book” here’s the comment I found at this site. It’s in reference to the Greek Nationalist Party which has been experiencing some recent successes.
“Could be, but they are also neo-nazis who should be dealt with. If I lived in Greece, I’d be planting bombs at their headquarters and murdering them in the streets. These fascists are sick people, you can see them and their ways in videos people are posting. I do have a little understanding of occult magick and im not attacking that, but a fascist is a fascist…as if these ignorant neanderthals hold any secret knowledge. “(Geoff Anderson) (2)
This commenter (“Geoff Anderson”) at the site “Mind Book” is so filled with fear that he can only react like an animal to ideas that he doesn’t even have the capability of trying to understand. For these people we must act as one would when dealing with a wild animal. This person is not capable of rational discussion.
So besides the obvious times when fear is useful in defending yourself (from irrational animals) or escaping danger, (like a hurricane), fear is not useful.
We at BUGS, (and others who have an interest in the survival and amelioration of a bio-cultural human group known as Whites), should understand that we have nothing to fear. We oppose the genocide of a human group which would be more than acceptable, (and even encouraged), if this human group was known as “Mexican,” or “Native American,” or “ Tibetan,” or “Jewish.” Pro-Whites are scientifically and morally in the right. We break no laws. We don’t take part in violence. We don’t encourage violence.
All we do is disseminate a message in opposition to the genocide of a human group. We disseminate this message mostly with words but this writer also highly encourages creating art that conveys the message. The animation of Follow the White Rabbit and the music of JohnnyWhiteRabbit are examples of such art.
Whites have been programmed to feel fear at the idea of opposing the forced integration and assimilation of White countries, communities, and institutions. This fear has been cultivated to cause inaction. IOW, this fear is programmed in you to stop you from opposing the program of White genocide. What we know today as “political correctness” is a mechanism for keeping people afraid. The truth of the matter is that we have no reason to be afraid and are 100% justified in our desire to survive and thrive just as any other human group.
All of us at BUGS and/or other pro-White activists, must always keep in mind that we have no reason to fear. The more we can overcome our fears, the more effective we will be at not only smashing the anti-White system, but at creating anything we put our minds to.
Look for more articles on the subject of fear from this writer in the future.
The Important Question of the Season

Say, does anybody want some reindeer meat?
Only White Contributions are Unique
Posted by Bob in Coaching Session, History, Musings about Life on 3/3/2010
Someone once defined Leftism as “A constant screaming about how everyone should be above average.”
That is an insane attitude, but it is a very RATIONAL attitude, in the economic sense. Half of he population will always be below average and you will always have a clientele if you rant about it.
Attacks on whites always concentrate on what whites have, not what third worlders don’t have that we do. Yes, starvation happens nowhere. Starvation only happens where we are blocked from getting at it. But it will be cold day in Hell before an anti-white takes notice of this.
But a CAUTION. When we use the Mantra anti-whites’ only counter is condemning whites. PLEASE don’t argue that. With the reality I just mentioned. PLEASE always hit them with “So you are justifying genocide.”
We don’t have time or space to get into IQ scores, crime rates, or what the white man has actually done.
STICK TO GENOCIDE.
Someday we will have time to give the information we are aching to give out, BUT THAT TIME IS NOT NOW.
I think this subject may interest you, but it will be far worse than useless if it SIDETRACKS you.
The term “subsistence farming” gives me cold chills. If you actually see that someone is depending on his naked crops out in the field to give him enough food to survive on, it is different from a textbook term. Books always tell us how peasants resisted the new farming techniques, and historians dismiss it as superstition and ignorance.
Of course peasants were resistant. They were TOLD these new methods would produce more food, they may even have believed it, but no one seems to realize why they didn’t want to take the CHANCE. It was not an economic risk, it was life and death, watching their families starve to death because they had risked everything on a promise.
Subsistence farming is HORRIBLE. No wonder priests who promise to make the crops good this year by a sacrifice or praying to Saint Whoever got power and money for it. They were the only intellectuals the peasant had. They were usually caring and believed what they said. How was a peasant to know the experts in scientific agriculture were indifferent?
The fact is that a wise peasant would not have believed a ten thousand year succession of well-meaning experts. How would they know that this particular set had a point? Can you imagine how terrified they were even when this was tried on even a few acres, realizing that if this set of priests made it work, they would be forced to abandons methods that had fed their families since time out of mind?
This is not what historians write about or read about. They think only in The Big Picture, who against Progress and how those who were for Progress were the good guys. Their information is produced for each other and for well-fed students who think that subsistence is a credit card at the grocery.
That’s not fair but it makes my point.
In the real world, no Indian would go back to his forefathers’ world, and they had it good. Indians had thousands of acres for each of them. But they also died young. Almost everyone had pain they lived with that we would not tolerate.
But the rest of our third world had lives that were, in plain English, horrible. They starved routinely. That was the poor guy. Rich ones lost their teeth, for a start. Every single Pharaoh suffered from a malnutrition that would be intolerable today in Nicaragua.
Multiculture is big business, but what offends multiculturalists is that not one single culture the West went into has the slightest interest in dumping all that has come in and go back to their ”kinder and simpler” life.
White people had diseases, slavery, no respect for the native culture. But so does everybody else.
Not one single sin of the white man was unique to us. But the white IS unique in what it did FOR the world.
But please read this AGAIN:
When we use the Mantra anti-whites’ only counter is condemning whites. PLEASE don’t argue that. With the reality I just mentioned. PLEASE always hit them with “So you are justifying genocide.” We don’t have time or space to get into IQ scores, crime rates, or what the white man has actually done.
STICK TO GENOCIDE.

Pain is NOT Production
Posted by Bob in Bob, Musings about Life on 12/5/2009
Like Jews, the World War II Generation talked almost exclusively about how they “SUFFERED.” I used to hear endless tales about how they were REAL MEN because they peeled potatoes and, God knows how often I heard this exciting fact, “The Sarge made me make my bed so tight he could bounce a quarter off of it.”
I was told about the shots they had to take. The few who had actually heard an enemy shot fired told me only they knew what life was like.
They told me that REAL MEN like them could do anything they wanted to do.
It took me a long to realize an amazing correlation. The ones who talked the most about World War II were the ones who had done the least since. I found out after he died that Professor Carlton Coon parachuted behind enemy lines as a spy.
Yes, there is a point to all this bitching. You may not notice the distortions in our thinking that came from this “suffering” crap, but I had my nose shoved into it like a puppy in house training, so before I pass away, I need to tell you what it taught me.
And the one big lesson it took me decades to realize was that output does NOT equal input. Above all, it is NOT true that “Talk is cheap.” The words “Talk is cheap” were precious to those who had accomplished nothing since 1945.
Most of the observations I make are terribly obvious once you think of them. For example, a guy who talks endlessly fifty years later about what he did as a teenager before 1945 is almost always someone who did not make it in the communications-based world he came back to after 1945.
They endlessly quote the fact that Benjamin Franklin would be taking his wheelbarrow to his printing house at dawn every morning. Franklin stated flatly in his autobiography that that was a publicity stunt. “It is important,” he said, “that one be SEEN working hard.”
His point was exactly the opposite of what the Greatest Generation made of it. But they hadn’t read the book because it was “just talk.”
I was raised on the idea that production equaled Hard Work. And now that I have the time to think things out, I realize that this led me to the disastrous idea that what I SAID was incidental, because it wasn’t HARD.
It is painful to realize what I could have done had I realized some basics. The world is not changed by what YOU feel. Effort does not equal results. Lord this seems so obvious now that I say it I wonder whether I should say it.
It is true that if you can’t do anything else, you can get paid for doing what others don’t want to do. There are jobs programming and lifting things and getting dirty, though they are becoming fewer all the time. Those are the jobs that guys who feel the height of their life experience was making tight beds could get.
I want to try to make this sound more profound, and not just reveal how obviously naïve I was most of my life.
But sometimes the best thing an old man who is trying to wow you with his wisdom can do is tell you plainly about the times that he was just plain stupid.
Outer Space and Cyberspace
Posted by Bob in Coaching Session, Musings about Life, Political Correctness on 11/11/2009
As I talked about before, the end of those SST flights at 2.2 times the speed of sound across the ocean marked the first time in aviation history that a faster mode of transportation was abandoned. For emergency communication, the SST is not necessary. We have speed of light communication.
Certainly computer speed will multiply thousands of times in this century. Already successful experiments in wiring computers directly into brains have succeeded on men and monkeys. In fact, there is no good reason why many paraplegics shouldn’t be walking with these direct connections now.
In a few decades, we will be able to transmit not only sound, but taste and feel, at light speed. We will be able to reproduce it. Taste and feel are a combination of a finite number of different sensations. In other words, about everything we LIKE can be reproduced and transmitted in cyberspace straight to our taste centers.
Taste and feeling are broken down into a finite number of parts, like pictures. We have nothing like the computer speed to transmit them now. But will we decide to fulfill our desires by living in space and doing large things, or by satisfying ourselves within the area of our brains?
Both methods would “save the environment” in a way no army of Kyoto-style bureaucrats could do by assigning allowed growth to each country and each industry.
The only real way to save the environment would be to leave it, either for outer space or for cyberspace or a combination. Now we come up against the REAL objectives of the group that yells environmentalism. The day the USSR collapsed, every socialist I knew suddenly became an environmentalist. Mommy Professor and all his kiddies dream of a world ruled by Mommy Professor.
They don’t care whether Mommy Professor rules as Commissar or a Kyoto-style bureaucrat, the idea is as natural as it is absurd. And Mommy Professor does not care a whit more for the deer than he did for the Welfare of the Proletariat. They dream of a world ruled by Marxist Intellectuals or bureaucratic tree-huggers as naturally as an industrialist naturally tends toward price-fixing.
It is just that nobody ever mentions that Mommy Professor, like any other occupation, has a natural bias.
One who balances outer space and cyberspace in real calculations of the future must CARE about the results. Mommy Professor has no interest in any of it. He is against all technology in a fundamental way. He does not want any technological solution to get in the way of a Moscow-based or Kyoto Treaty based dictation by Intellectuals who will provide quotas and philosophical discussions in place of bread and butter.
The one example we have is atomic power, but, like the SST, there will a lot more things happening in this mix. Industrialists always found something wrong with laws against price-fixing, and the Intellectuals will always find reasons why obvious technical solutions are dangerous or immoral.
White Racial Suicide is NOT Affirmative Action or Immigration or Just Birthrates
Posted by Bob in Coaching Session, History, Musings about Life on 11/5/2009
Just as my ideas seemed absurd in my youth and are commonplace reality now, there is another that is in the same category, starting now. This is that the Mongoloid race will be dying out soon.
This is for the same reason that almost all Ancient Oriental Wisdom was a an Aryan had once. Buddhism was invented by the blue-eyed Buddha, though almost everybody thinks if him as Oriental. Kung Fu, that epitome of Oriental Wisdom, was brought from India by a man who the Chinese say drilled a hole in a hole with his BLUE eyes.
Aquatic rice was developed in India. But it was the Orientals who were capable of enough regimentation to produce the paddy culture, where ten metric tons, 22,000 pounds, of rice can be produced on a single acre, plus another small crop of other vegetables each year.
I would imagine white people brought the wheel to Asia. A usable wheel is unique to Eurasia, and it came from outside the Middle East. The Hyksos brought the wheel to Egypt. If that were not part of written history, Egypt would be said to be where the wheel was invented, just as the weave of the cloth on the white mummies in China was declared to have been invented in the Middle East a thousand years after those white people died.
I doubt seriously that the Hyksos invented the wheel.
They got it from that vague to the northeast of the Middle East, just as the Chinese almost certainly did, or from white India.
All this, like Zoroastrianism, are points I have mentioned, before but one must THINK about them to get extensions like the coming extinction of the Mongoloids.
Orientals take what we develop and go with it. But it is not theirs, and they cannot control it. Japan is now in a birthrate bust worse than any European country. China’s one-child-per-couple law is enforced on a Stalinist basis.
It was the rice they got from white India which made Orientals multiply so much. Now they have hold of the birth control mania.
I have also pointed out that Orientals are much more aware of what I have said than we are. Twice Japanese Prime Ministers got into trouble by worrying publicly about the drop of US IQ due to Hispanic immigration. It seems rather obvious to the Japanese that if you bring in lower IQs your average goes down so they didn’t know they couldn’t say that until the Western media exploded over it.
Twice.
In the next decade or the next generation Orientals are going to suddenly realize their population is plummeting, especially relative to the darks and blacks. About that time, our own geometrically increasing percentage of people who show this concern will be hitting proportions that cannot be ignored.
But that concern must be channeled in directions that is NOT harmless to THE present Politically Correct goal. As long as it is just a matter of numbers, whites will go and Orientals salvaged if it is just a matter of numbers.
White countries already have enough nonwhites, especially with their rate of natural increase, to do away with us by INTERMARRIAGE. If our attention can be riveted to POPULATION, no alliance for survival will be made with Orientals. They don’t have non-whites pouring in, so all they need is to increase their birthrate.
So yelling about affirmative action and immigration makes plenty of good yelling on Stormfront, hell even National Review is getting in on that stuff. The issue is interracial breeding.
Period.
The Aryan Suicide Syndrome
Posted by Bob in Coaching Session, Musings about Life, Religion on 11/3/2009
It is only after discussing Zoroaster many times here that I have slowly gotten some idea of why Zoroastrianism is important to our history. I got a communication from a seminary student who explained to me that only “amateurs” thought that Z had any influence whatever on Christianity. He explained that all the writings relating to it and the entire literature of Persia had been burned by the Moslems when they conquered Persia hundreds of yeas AFTER the New Testament was finalized, so it could have had no effect on those who wrote it.
This is way most people view history. The religion of the only empire Rome met and did not conquer could not have influenced the Bible because its literature was destroyed AFTER the Bible was written.
Practically nobody has the slightest historical perspective. Mommy Professor tells them only amateurs or Ignunt people say something and it is not true and that’s all she wrote.
Thinking is not allowed..
It has been noted that the Magi are in the New Testament. They are described as star gazers or We Three King, but at the time the New Testament was written if you had described them as anything but Zoroastrian clerics it would have been EXACTLY like trying to describe a Rabbi as something other than a Jew.
Manichaeism is a heresy described by the Church as being too much a renunciation of life. A Church which welcomed the Trappists at their most extreme condemned the Manicheans. Manichaeism bears the name of Mani, the man who tried to synthesized the two great monotheistic religions of his day
The two great religions of Mani’s pre-Islamic world were Christianity and Zoroastrianism, respectively the established religions of Byzantium and Persia. Not only does Manichaeism have a constant historical influence on Christianity, it is probably the most consistent source of heresy in Christian history.
The reason this is important is because, taken with Indian history, it shows a death wish lodged deep in the Aryan soul. The Hindu and Buddhist ideal is to stop being reborn, to escape the Wheel of Life as one is born again and again and again forever. The Manichaeism seeks to end human life by declaring all procreation a sin. This latter idea is what Mani drew from Zoroastrianism.
There is another parallel between the deterioration thought among Aryans in both India and in Persia. The name “caste” system was adopted in English because it was a direct translation of the Sanskrit name for the system, which means “color.” The Buddha had “eyes the color of the blue lotus” because the caste system had done its job of protecting the Aryan race for over a thousand years before Gautama Buddha came along.
But Buddha rejected the caste system for his Wordism, and presumably that was a fashion of his day as it is in ours.
Zoroastrianism made the same deterioration. Originally no one was allowed into the faith unless he was an Aryan. By the time of Mani, apparently, Zoroastrianism was against the procreation of ANY race, including the one Z meant to protect.
This is all hidden by the fact that no one even mentions the titanic gaps between the Old Testament and the New on the subject of sex. There was no condemnation of sex, and certainly not of procreation, in the Old Testament.
NONE.
Jesus never said a word against procreation, only adultery.
NONE.
Yet St. Paul was advising all young women not to marry, not to procreate.
Chastity has been a monomaniacal obsession with the Church throughout its history.
PCs don’t want to talk about any of this because it shows a continuity of ARYAN thought. The alliance of fundamentalism and PC is shown her once again. People like the seminary student are trained to ignore this giant gap and the natural need one would have to explain it if one THOUGHT about it.
This is not a conspiracy, it is a dovetailing of two types of hypnosis that have a common interest in preserving the rather weird version of history we have.
Our present religion of white self-hatred is directly related to the self-torture and self-denial that we got from the Wordist perversion of Zoroastrianism through Christianity. There is no other source for it.
Once you mention it, you can’t deny it. PC has whites feeling wildly virtuous for their “self-sacrifice” in hating their own. You can’t cure a disease if you do not diagnose it. And you can’t diagnose the Aryan self-hatred syndrome if you try to hypnotize yourself into not seeing it.
Jewish Establishment Agrees With Hitler
Posted by Bob in Coaching Session, Musings about Life, Religion on 8/7/2009
If you accept that the Inquisition never did physical damage to Jews, you can accept that the priesthood of the temple did nothing to Jesus. But the converse is true. If you overlook the responsibility of the Inquisition that crucified Jesus you must hold the Inquisition guiltless.
One could say that both the Inquisition and the Crucifixion were terrible mistakes in the millennia-long history of Jews and of the Church of Rome. They cannot be blamed on MODERN Catholics or Jews.
But there is a huge difference here. The Catholic Church has admitted it did wrong. The Pope has gone to Israel and groveled at the Jews’ feet for the Inquisition. He has rolled and puked and peed in his robes over the Evil the Church did to Jews.
In other words, the Church admits it was wrong and separates modern Catholics from the errors of their predecessors. The only problem is that, like other white gentiles, the Church keeps on groveling to a sickening extent.
Jewish reaction to Mel Gibson’s perfectly accurate portrayal of the Crucifixion was the exact opposite. The Jews said that if the Temple Priesthood back then did an evil thing, then that evil is still part of Judaism. This is odd, but that IS the logic..
If you insist that admitting a 2000 year old error by Jews is anti-Semitic, you are agreeing with the anti-Semites.
By the same token, Jews who insist that any attempt to save the white race is Nazi are agreeing with Hitler. They are saying that Jews and Aryans cannot survive in the same world.
Servitude and Slavery
Posted by Bob in Bob, Coaching Session, Musings about Life on 7/21/2009
Servitude is doing what you do not want to do. It doesn’t matter if YOU are wielding your own whip.
Servitude should ONLY be engaged in for loyalty or reward. For any other reason it is slavery. Which leads us back to the whip I mentioned.
Aryans spend a large part of their lives whipping themselves for what they “ought” to be doing. This is not slavery if overcoming lethargy will result in a REWARD or a SERVICE to the group to which one has a loyalty. For example, I know that I would spend a lot less time in depression if I got up and exercised first thing in the morning.
Now that I have lived so long, I know me well enough to understand that often I won’t do that “ought,” so I forgive myself. I force myself into enough exercise for my health.
In my Aryan youth, I could not really forgive myself for not doing all that I “ought” to have done. I had two nervous breakdowns to prove it.
I might have avoided the actual breakdowns if I hadn’t spent the little rest time I had whipping myself over what I “ought” to have done additionally.
I might have avoided the actual breakdowns if I hadn’t spoiled the satisfaction of what I WAS doing by worrying over whether I shouldn’t be doing something else, if my priorities were straight.
Many, many times my priorities hadn’t been straight, and I kicked myself over THAT. As a result, my priorities worries at work were worse. Working while you are saying to yourself, “You remember the last time you got off track? You may be doing that again” is a shortcut to a breakdown.
That is whipping yourself for its own sake. That is not servitude, that is SLAVERY. The fact that you are your own overseer makes it worse, not better.
No matter what the law says, slavery occurs when you do not ask, “What is in this for ME or MINE?” Libertarianism makes the fatal mistake of taking the MINE out of the equation.
As I have pointed out before, if the MINE or natural loyalty were taken out, no one would vote libertarian. No one would vote at all. The potential reward to YOURSELF from your vote, if you are doing a PERSONAL cost-benefit analysis, is zero. You vote because you want your SOCIETY to go a certain way.
If libertarianism and its theoretical expression, Public Choice, can’t even explain why people vote it certainly cannot explain the rest of life.
Under pure Public Choice Theory, as all the experts in that field agree, no votes would occur, no public choices would be made. They admit they can’t doesn’t explain why people vote, but they don’t worry about that.
Then they proceed to explain HOW people vote. You cannot explain HOW people vote if your logic tells you they should not vote at all. People only vote because they care how their SOCIETY goes. Only loyalty explains why people vote at all.
Libertarians make this basic mistake because of their own SLAVISH thinking.
Often the person welding the whip of slavery is not you. It is someone you do not realize is your Master.
Anyone who tells you what you want is a PREJUDICE rather than a PREFERENCE is your Master. All libertarians allow an Ayn Rand or some other overseer to tell them that all loyalty is PREJUDICE because it is not PURE self-interest.
With what we know now about the behavior of every social animal, loyalty is as natural to man as sex, and for the same reason. Libertarians all have overseers. They are all slaves.
2008 in Historical Context
Posted by Bob in History, Musings about Life on 7/6/2009
I knew a whole cadre of young people who loved Reagan because he ended the political exhaustion of the 1970s. They are never mentioned in the press or by conservatives.
A person coming of age in the 1970s was raised on the idea that his world would see no growth. The Environmental Protection Agency and conservation were the focus of attention. No one but me seems to know where this left a young person.
He had nothing to look forward to. He was superfluous, particularly if he was a white male looking for a job.
In other words, it was just like today.
Back then the big political buzz on the right was that conservatives and conservationists should make common cause.
And, of course, the conservative buzz was also the old “to go after the minority vote.”
I have been this way before.
By definition, the buzz is set up by the establishment and its conservative tagalongs.
One of the most critical signs of 1980 end of the old buzz is, AS ALWAYS, the least remembered. Reporters were climbing all over Washington trying to find conservative contacts.
They didn’t **KNOW** any of us, and they said so. PBS even had ME do a couple of shows for them in the process of trying to find tame conservatives. What if the press in 1932 simply did not KNOW any liberal Democrats?
They would have been laughed at. The 1932 media was conservative, but they were also professionals. The 1980 failure was a professional humiliation, so no one mentions it now.
The 1980 media had been trapped in its own buzz, and “Republican spokesmen,” right up to Election Day, meant moderates.
The reality of the 2008 election is totally opaque to anyone who keeps up with the political buzz, which means anyone who makes his living commenting on today’s politics. If he worried about anything else he wouldn’t be published. This is not a conspiracy. It is just that every editor knows what people want to read about, and that is things like criticism or praise of Obama. They are publishing for today’s
audience, not for accuracy about the future.
Political reality is that the Democratic rank and file, which is hard left, almost always chooses someone who is too far left for political practicality. Nixon was very unpopular in 1972, but they chose MCGOVERN to oppose him.
It was HILARIOUS to watch Democrats nominate one MASSACHUSETTS lefty after another and get crushed at the polls. In 1988 Bush Sr. was so far behind Dukakis in the polls that National Review declared Dukakis’ election absolutely inevitable.
I said, “He’s a Massachusetts liberal. He’ll lose.”
Whitaker Basics again. Simplism.
The Democrats who do the nominating did not like Carter’s image and they did not Clinton’s image. They wanted a New England liberal. This time they hit jackpot.
McCain, like Obama, was incidental to the BUZZ Process. McCain was the Republican who had made himself beloved by the Buzzers. What astonished me during the campaign was that the media actually REMEMBERED they had once loved McCain.
Usually that sort of thing is simply forgotten by everybody, but a number of commentators actually DID mention that the McCain the entire media was damning had recently been beloved of them as the perfect liberal’s conservative.
The present administration is a return to the 1970′s abandonment of any real future. I came up with the certainty that space exploration and new technology would lead into an unimaginably exciting future. Older people were jealous of the great things in store for the young. Precious few older people are jealous of the young ones now.
The buzz has replaced the old time future of a Heaven of Progress and space colonization has been completely displaced by a lifetime dedicated to avoiding the Hell of the Moment. You are now a Carbon Emitter, an Earth Destroyer. If you are young, your life must be devoted to sacrifices to make up for your Original Sin of being human.
We are back in the 1970s.
So Where do we go from here?
When the 70s came, I had spent a lot of years getting ready for it. I had my fifteen minutes of fame getting Reagan elected.
I am more ready for today than anybody else, so I will START addressing that next.
A hint: the 70s malaise came from the politics of self-hatred. We’re back to that.

The Powers That Be
Posted by Bob in General, Insider Letter Archive, Musings about Life on 11/22/2008
‘Taint Natural
Anybody using today’s political logic in 1868 would have concluded that Reconstruction in the South was permanent. Absolutely every kind of arithmetic and political logic said so.
A major portion of the Southern white male population was dead. All its natural leadership, consisting of men who had held the rank of Colonel or above in the Confederate Army, was disfranchised. In the Deep South, blacks were a majority before the decimation of the white males in the War. In other Southern states the mountain vote was Republican.
And as today a huge segment of the white population was anti-white.
Now let us add the “practical” considerations. Federal occupation secured the entire Southern vote for the Republicans who ruled in Washington.
What in the HELL could change all that?
Logically, nothing could.
The Soviet Empire simply could not just vanish. Nothing was less likely in 1981.
What happened to the USSR was simply that it existed on force. What happened to Reconstruction was that it existed on force.
The Soviet Empire was a constant effort. Reconstruction was a constant effort. Our rule in Iraq is a constant effort. Robert Ardrey pointed out in the 1970s that, for some reason, occupations do not last.
Most people are deeply impressed by the all-out effort, the vast dedication, and the forces that are dedicated to multiracialism.
To me that sheer effort is the sure sign that it is doomed.
We have been this way before.
Many times.
The Damned Collection Plate
Posted by Bob in Musings about Life on 3/28/2008
When I was in Africa, I got to see the sight that people who know about Nam are familiar with. The People’s Peace-Loving forces, the ones the Love Generation cheered on so, left the usual pile of corpses in what was an African kraal, limbs cut off, some slowly skinned alive, all of the Love Generation’s favorite stuff.
We would sometimes chase down the Love Generation’s troops, Mommy Professor’s darlings, and black troops would have their way with them. There were no prison camps.
From time to time we would find gifts to the Armies of Liberation from the World Council of Churches. How did the WCC get the money to supply these sweet kids? It went from the collection plate to the NCC to the WCC. Those conservative working class Methodists put money in the collection plate that ended u0 financing torture-murder.
Evangelical “Christians” who do not belong to the NCC are the mainstay of genocide against whites. They sponsor the adoption of non-whites in areas regular liberals can’t reach, like Appalachia. They are on the forefront of Israel’s battle, and every atrocity Israel commits becomes an atrocity supported by any person the minute his money hits the collection plate.
The Catholic Church is at the forefront of the battle for miscegenation. Even when I went to Mass in my — like Shari’s TRY at being Catholic — I decided that if the Church ad money to spare to fight against capital punishment, they didn’t need MINE.
Churches have PLENTY of money when it comes to race-mixing or helping Jews — Jews have no money you know — get to Israel. Preachers are always saving up your money to make friendship visits to Israel.
The one time you VOTE for a church’s whole program is when you put money in that, literally, damned plate.
Affirmative Action Beauty 2 — Japanese Cartoons
Posted by Bob in History, Musings about Life on 3/14/2008
For all this reciting of Mommy Professor’s “beauty is just a matter of opinion” crap, Japan has a serious cartoon problem. It is easy enough for an Oriental to see the difference between one Oriental and another, but it is just too hard to DRAW that subtle difference in cartoons. So their cartoons are Caucasoid.
This has caused an outcry since it started decades ago, when cartoons were black and white but the difference in features were still too difficult and required Caucasoids. The solutions are interesting.
They have “black” characters who are pure Nordics with black coloring. But that’s the least of it.
Today Japanese cartoons are still Caucasoid, but whereas they used to have a few Japanese writings and so forth in them, on a blackboard for instance, now the Japanese Caucasoid characters are in traditional Japanese clothes and every opportunity is used to show Japanese writing. The Caucasoid characters now have more epicanthic eye folds.
This is fascinating for me, but Mommy Professor doesn’t let anti-whites think of it, much less talk about it.
Another device that affirmative action in Japanese cartooning is using is like Piers Anthony’s Xanth novels. A lot of the characters are a mixture of Caucasoid and animal.
Traditional Japanese clothes which fewer Japanese wear every day. Cat moustaches. Slightly squinted eyes. You can FEEL the desperation.
It’s a real yuck.
In the real world, looks are not subject to Mommy Professor’s whims.

ME First
I enjoyed this ramble, so I hope you will.
I did change one word relating to sex. It’s not that I’m prudish, it’s just that I’m supposed to be teaching here, and I don’t KNOW enough about sex for that.
Now I’ll let Dave rave on:
I was at seminar the other day when the speaker’s credentials were recited: She had a PHD in Law, a Masters in Taxation, held a CPA license and was an active member of the California bar. Everybody immediately knew there was something wrong with her. You could almost hear the groaning in the audience. She had that vicious look most serious academics get, like she never had any sex in her life ever and had no hope of getting any ever.
Having to listen to such a woman is almost like being 5 years old and being forced to sit in the pews with a suit on. The only thing you can do is sit there and dream about lobbing spit balls off the pastor’s noggin.
But my favorite in America’s credentialing system is listening to the announcers recite the credentials of colored ball players, the best one being, “a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology from State U”.
I have never heard an announcer follow up by saying, “Why didn’t they just let the poor nigger play ball?”
Do you have any idea how humiliating and hard it is to have to sit through two years of lectures by sociology professors, sufficient to enable you to get the 45 quarterly hours of distribution credits to enable you to apply for a college bachelor’s degree? It’s hard on the pride man, if only for the pure waste it involves.
But it is even worse because the whole experience lasts so long and does something to your brain, crippling your ability to think and giving you no hope you will ever recover. You have to have a pretty serious sports injury to be as badly injured, speaking for the long term. Then they tag that Sociology Degree to your ass and you can never get rid of it. It stays for life. They will even mention it in your obituary.
And what a punishment that is for being unable to learn algebra! Why do white people put all those damn X’s and Y’s there anyway? I mean, if that is the thing that’s got to get answered, that thing those X’s and Y’s are supposed to stand for, just ask the question! Why jumble it all up and make it confusing?
White people are just plain crazy, that’s all there is to it.
And being white, I will volunteer.
Just How Dumb ARE People Who Think They’re Intellectuals?
Posted by Bob in Coaching Session, History, How Things Work, Musings about Life on 1/18/2007
I am a documentary freak. I was watching one on the Stone Age culture in the islands north of Scotland. It reminded me of the times I went to visit Great Zimbabwe. Like absolutely every other ancient structure, Zimbabwe was regarded as a “religious structure.” This is because it is assumed that anything useful that was not a product of a Great Civilization was taught to the barbarians by the Orient, Ex Oriente Lux.
There is another assumption here, and I am STILL the only one who goes on with the critique of assumptions at a deeper and deeper level. The assumption is that nothing DUMB ever came out of the East. So the Ex Oriente Lux crowd has always assumed that the lowly barbarians spent all their time, money, and building skill on useless religious exercises the way Egypt did. Actually, even the ROMANS laughed openly at the Egyptians about this. They MADE FUN of the fact that the Egyptians build worthless crap out in the desert while the Romans were building roads.
No, not all of the people in Europe had the same quivering worship of the Middle East that “Christians’ and Political Correctness demand today. Please note, once again, the alliance here between the so-called conservative “Christians” and the established faith of Political Correctness. They stand shoulder to shoulder in the battle against REAL history as they do in the case of other realities.
So let us return to this assumption, WHICH NOBODY ELSE HAS EVER THOUGHT OF, of the simple fact that historians assume that nothing SILLY came from the Great Civilizations.
Once again, as with the words of Jesus, my experience with totalitarian society gives me an insight others do not have. As I walked around Zimbabwe, the hair on my neck raised. I had been here before. Every avenue was WATCHED. The main entrance led straight to a guard post and straight away from it. On the outskirts is circular winding walkway that has a classic purpose: a guard could stand at the top in those days before electronics and watch every step a person made to the center point.
Then there was the water. Like all other nice things, I have been taught to think in terms of THIRST. They showed us that, under the porous rock in that semi-desert area, there was an area under Zimbabwe that was very wet. It was wetter when Zimbabwe was new. It was a previously rocked-in area underneath Zimbabwe under the porous rock. When it rained there three or four times a year, the water went though the porous rock and accumulated in that gap, which today is mostly open. What the guide thought was particularly funny was that the only TREE in the area has grown right there, with its roots in the only water for miles around.
So while other people saw only a giant religious structure trying to copy Great Civilizations, what I saw was a familiar sight: a structure built to keep watch on a huge number of slaves, with the only source of water there.
But I was, for once, not the only person to make this observation. A number of sane Rhodesian scholars had declared the Great Zimbabwe was a slave-labor gold mine. They were denounced at Oxford, of course. Now this idea is accepted.
Hell, a lot of Germans were advocating the germ theory of disease in the seventeenth century. We only know that because the Intellectuals denounced them and the “Christians” wanted to know where THAT was in the Bible and Noah’s Ark. But this is going on today: Real history is always denounced as uneducated at first.
Which tells you a lot about the “educated.”
Back when the Great Sculptors were working in Renaissance Italy, I am sure the peasants wondered why their statues had to be so UGLY. They were bare gray stone, and to the peasants of that day, who liked vivid colors to brighten their dull existence, they must have looked depressing. But the Great Sculptors said that the peasants were ignoramuses, so they did Understand the SUBTLE beauty of the Ancients.
Actually the ancients would have gagged at the monstrosities, like the Capitol Building in Washington, DC, that these TRUE barbarians, these “educated” barbarians, produced. We know now that no such depressing gray stone structures EXISTED in the classical world. The “educated” people found statues which had been denuded of their vivid color by a thousand years of wear and did not have the imagination “– imagination is DEFINITELY encouraged by “education” or “Christianity” — to consider that a statue buried in the earth for a millennium may look different from the one that was originally buried down there.
Now back the islands north of Scotland. One ancient, pre-pyramid, village has been uncovered. That is, the stones have. It is significant to me what they said about it, but they didn’t listen to THEMSELVES. The documentary said this was an important discovery because all the other structures from the megalithic period were built of wood, but these islands have no wood but lots of stone to build with. So the stone gave historians a clear look.
Now if they THOUGHT about what they said, as I KEEP encouraging YOU to do — they would have a whole new view of history. They worship the Middle East. The Middle East built in stone because they had to send to LEBANON for wood. So did everything come from the Middle East or did everything THEY CAN FIND still stand there while all the others, the real originators, had their wood structures rot away?
This seems pretty obvious if you can THINK. But Dewey education was declared to be about “teaching us to think,” which means it was a wholesale onslaught AGAINST education. I have given you example after example about how, in practical politics, the first thing you do if you want to defend a monopoly is to declare a campaign against monopoly, if you want to spread hate you do it in the name of fighting hatred, and so forth.
People used to understand this as a matter of course. Then came “education.”
OK, so the documentary made my OLD point, that “Christians” and historians both worship stone. But my NEW point is that that piece went on to insist that everything on those islands was just religious. And in their terminology, “religious” means worthless. Anything NOT worthless had to wait for the Middle East to get it there.
But tiny communities on those barren islands did not develop the massive priesthood that wasted Egypt’s resources. While the historians obsessed over religious significance, as they did in Great Zimbabwe, I saw the practical uses of those structures. In other words, the silly stuff, the wasteful superstitious side of lie that historians impose on every building remain outside of the Middle East is a product of their own crap. Other societies didn’t develop the SILLINESS of Egypt. They did things for REASONS, like the Great Zimbabwe gold mines.
But until we realize that “intellectuals” are so stupid they don’t wonder what a thousand years’ wear might do to a status, that only a dullard would worship ROCKS and assume that everything began where there was no wood, that it is a highly expensive bureaucratic priesthood that builds a whole society around religion, we can’t see ANYTHING clearly.
Political Correctness is NOT the first time that silliness and superstition has been imposed in the name of “intellectuality” and “education.” It happens in every society as a matter of course and is just as a matter of time.
The people who call themselves “intellectuals” simply cannot understand real history because they are incapable of looking in the mirror, which is where the answer lies.
Traditional Values and “SHAZAM! BOOM!” Part Two
Posted by Bob in Musings about Life on 1/12/2007
Everybody says that if you put down a black, a black should object. If you put down a Jew, a Jew should object.
According to Traditional Values, when Jesus said, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you,” he excluded every one of us living today. Can I, on behalf of every black and Jew, object to this? You see, every one of us living today, including Holy Minorities, are part of the population Traditional Values excludes from Jesus when he spoke the Golden Rule.
According to Traditional Values, at the instant of conception there is a “SHAZAM! BOOM!”
At that instant, the new person should be treated as you would want yourself treated. But when the black and the blond marry, all that matters is that THEY are “in love,” and, above, that the guy in the dress shouts SHAZAM!
To hell with the kids.
Literally.
The problem is that neither you nor I nor the other six billion people on earth were around when Jesus said “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” This did not apply to you and me, since we were not in the “SHAZAM!” stage, much less the “BOOM!” part.
Jesus did not say to only be good to those who are here now. Early Christianity did not believe there would BE a future, so I doubt Jesus worried about it much. But had he known that his Second Coming would be so delayed, the churches would not have been closed in the meantime because people like me and you, future generations who had not been SHAZAM/BOOMed yet, didn’t matter.
No, a man in a dress screaming “SHAZAM!” won’t substitute for a genetic morality.
Traditional Values and “SHAZAM! BOOM!” Part One
Posted by Bob in Musings about Life on 1/12/2007
There have seldom been weddings that were as restricted as the one Jesus blessed at Cana. Not only was the marriage restricted to two Jews, but it had to be the right SECT of Jews. And Jesus did say to one person, “Are you not a descendant of David, etc.?”
In other words, no one would have been married at Cana by a quick conversion.
But Traditional Values people tell us that if there had been any restrictions on the wedding of Cana, any good “Christian” would have shouted “Foul!”
It doesn’t matter if the children will be ugly (see piece below) or if it’s genocidal or anything else. All that matter to the Family Values type is that a guy in a dress stands in front of the couple, waves his arms, and shouts, “SHAZAM!”
The next frame is a lightening bolt striking with a resounding “Boom!”
And the couple is now Married, which is ALL that matters.
I know liberals are silly, too. But I can’t imagine anything liberal that is more droolingly ridiculous than this “Shazam! Boom! Sambo and his blond are MARRIED and that is all that matters forever.”
How Fast Does Psi Move?
Posted by Bob in Coaching Session, Musings about Life on 1/10/2007
For many years Duke University had the only program dedicated to proving or disproving ESP, extra-sensory perception. Actually the term extra-sensory perception is misleading, because if we have a sixth sense, it is not extrasensory.
Identical twins have an interrelationship for which we have only anecdotal accounts. There is evidence that, to a certain extent, identical twins share the same “self.” We have not the slightest idea why we have this “I” inside us, whereas as far as we know a computer has no more realization of its own existence than a rock does.
It may or may not be googable, but it would interesting to find out whether Duke ever tested this identical twin identity.
I wrote around this subject of “self” below, when I said that, since we can’t even recognize the 2% of our population, which means you know a number of them, which consists of pure sociopaths, people with no guilt feelings at al, how can we say that people of other RACES have the same feelings inside that we do.
We know NOTHING about the self. All of our sciences tell us flatly that the “selfhood” possessed by every man, woman, do and cat and bird on this plant CANNOT EXIST. I am talking about this whole experience you and I live with every day, the one through which we feel pain and joy and boredom and the only thing that really MATTERS in the universe.
But science tells us that this is no more real than ghosts.
Than GHOSTS!
I am not getting mystical on you here. It is very hard to discuss this and keep people from sliding off the deep end about me hinting at something. I don’t hint. I believe that science works just fine. I believe that the self is simply something that is preternatural; something that we simply know exists, since we are US, but cannot be demonstrated by present-day science.
But when you say that all people are the same beneath their skin, you are presuming knowledge nobody has any inkling of. That was the point I mad, and it was an important one.
But when I make a point, somebody goes toddling off on something they are used to thinking about. One reader, whom I jumped one, went right into how everybody was the same under the skin and assimilation and so forth. As far as the point I actually made, he simply didn’t hear it.
Ted Bundies lawyer friends thought he was just like everybody else. They SAID so. They TESTIFIED to it. But inside Ted was as alien as any Martian. But the reader didn’t see that point at all. He just went into the usual flitter about how his colored friends bathe and speak good English so they must be just like him.
It makes me tired all over when someone acts like he is commenting when he is just repeating his tape recording.
Anyway, back to this ESP business. Our speed of communication in space is limited by the speed of light. But if two identical brains were developed, identical twins, would communication between THEM be limited the same way? If identical twins have any shared selfhood, it is completely outside of science as we know it. So if twin A is on Alpha Centauri 4.6 light-years away, his connection with the other twin may still be instantaneous. After all, this is not two people communicating, this is the same person.
If we ever found that was true, then we could simplify it until all communications in space were handled this way.
Already this speed of communication is problem is noticeable. You watch a reporter in Iraq being asked a question, and then the noticeable delay before he starts to answer. Each side of the talk must go up 14,000 miles to the satellite, then back down to him. That is a fraction of second, but normal conversation occurs at about 240 words per minute, so this break is noticeable, since it goes on BOTH ways.
I remember when Nixon talked to the first astronauts to land on the moon in 1969. We didn’t use satellites then, and we were used to radio and telephone. So it seemed like a HUGE delay when he and the astronauts had to wait three second for the telephone comment to get to the moon and back at light speed. And the moon is next door astronomically. When the satellite passed Jupiter we had to wait something like an hour for the pictures to get back here.
Alpha Centrauri is our next door star, and a question and answer would take ten years to travel there and back. So how fast does Pi, this shared self, move, if it exists at all?
It used to be ridiculous for people to worry about things like the speed of light. But every day the theoretical becomes practical, and what used to be practical becomes as outdated as using a whole computer to add and subtract.
I am sure someone will tell me that Psi moves just as fast for people regardless of the color of the skin, but that is not what I am writing about.
I did a whole piece about the specific problem I had with monomaniacal anti-Semites who interrupted a point I was making to blame it all on Jews. I received an agonized reply about how I was calling anyone a zithead who talked about Jews.
This is the old “So you are saying my mother is ugly” bit I keep talking about. I go to a lot of trouble to make a SPECIFIC point and then the person I am talking to, who seems to have been in a coma while I talked, looks angry and says, “So what you’re saying is that my mother is ugly!” When I made my living at this I had to put up with crap like that and try to calm the person down and try to understand HOW my comment on the economics of Pakistan somehow could be construed in his mind to refer to his mother.
But I don’t HAVE to do crap like that any more.
AND by now my commenters should be able to do it FOR me, though their silence in the latter case disgusted me.
No, I am not interested in your Mommy or your colored friends. It is hard enough to get my point if you pay attention. The time you spend defending Mommy or Sambo would be better spent looking back over what I actually said and trying to USE Mantra Thinking.
I did not start this blog so we could go on endlessly getting tangled into what I meant and standard ideas you were thinking about before you read what I said. The world is crammed with publications and online stuff for you to do that with.
I want commenters who read, read again, think, and then come up with something productive. There are very, precious few people who can do that. Others are welcome. But that few are the ones I am LOOKING for.
What Computers Don’t Do
Posted by Bob in Musings about Life on 1/8/2007
A friend of mine once said, “The one thing nobody ever does during Rush Hour is rush.”
It has occurred to me that the one thing nobody does with a computer today is compute. I found out not that long ago that there is a calculator built into about every computer, on which, if you want to, you can compute, i.e., add, subtract, multiply and divide.
Watching documentaries on whales, it occurred to me that those calculators are like the leg bones in a blue whale. This is the biggest animal that has ever lived on earth — probably. It is as long as a football field. Buried down deep in the back of each blue whale is a set of legbones, about animal size, and so absurdly tiny in this titantic body. But it is a last tiny reminder of the fact that this was once a walking, furry land animal.
So our computer actually has a computer in it, which we use about as much as the blue whale walks around.
Alan B. and Peter: A Fighter’s Respect
Posted by Bob in Bob, Coaching Session, Comment Responses, General, Musings about Life on 12/1/2006
I was thinking about the clash Alan B. and I just had, and it reminded me of the time Peter felt insulted by what I had said about him. He gave me hell and told me he was not about to kiss my arse and just take it. Actually I had been using my rough humor and he took it wrong.
This time I was disappointed and tired and gave Alan B. hell once too often. He told me he was not about to just kiss my retail section and just take it.
Then he, like Peter, decided to come on back in.
This makes me a bit proud. Commenters are very nice to me and try to keep up my spirits, but you are also not afraid to take the old man on nose-to-nose.
If I step over the line, drive me back. Our whole problem is that we live in a world that is so desperate to see eye-to-eye that they simply will not take on “authority figures” nose-to-nose and fang-to-fang.
Alan B. and Peter, both rough characters, decided I was worth coming back in for. I would rather have the grudging respect of a fighter than the worship of a thousand syncophants.
Hollywood
Posted by Bob in Musings about Life on 12/1/2006
Is anybody else getting tired of sitting down to watch a movie and seeing some logo, then another logo, then another thing that says “A Gooble Picture” and another that says “a Lopside Production,” then an endless set of names, one by one, and, finally, a short mention of the title, some more credits, and on and on?
You have to watch for several minutes before you know whether the movie has started yet.
We live in an age where there are laws to deal with discrimination. There should therefore be a law requiring everyone in Hollywood to follow the same rules with regard to other professionals. For example, before anyone in the movie industry is allowed to sit down to a mean, at home or in a restaurant, he should first be require to see a complete list of everyone who had anything to do with the chair he is about to sit in. This list will, as in Hollywood films, include everybody who had anything to do with the chair.
There will be the name of the retailer, the wholesaler, each subcontractor who produced each part of said chair, the designer of that model must of course have a certain number of seconds to present his logo, as must the person who adapted the chair to mass production.
Out in the woodlands around the world are people who handled the equipment or the elephants who brought one part of the wood in. But plastic chairs or parts of chairs cannot be neglected. Someone in the chem lab developed the type of plastic, but not specifically for chairs, so the people involved in the process of discovering or and designing its use in that particular chair must be named.
Special thanks at in order for some people, of course.
No one will say exactly when the Hollywood personnel are actually allowed to SIT in the chairs. That is left to the artistry of those who made the chair.
After a few minutes, the Hollywooder will realize that he is now free to stop acknowledging everybody who had to do with making the chair and can sit down. At that point, a few hundred people who had to do with each of the utensils, knife, fork, spoons, cups, plates, napkins and so forth must be acknowledged.
There will, of course, be lawsuits about how much time those who made the table and the tablecloth should be assigned.
If the food is being warmed, we could allow a slow, solemn reading of everything on the label and then a listing of everyone involved in each phase of its making. In other cases, some research will be necessary for which, as in the case of Hollywood, the consumer must pay.
And for which the consumer must wait.
But we cannot discriminate in favor of the food and furniture industries. This procedure must be gone through with every product movie people drive, play with, or sleep on.
I do not think it would be long after these laws were enforced that we would be able to just SEE the damned movies we paid for.
An Old Joke
Posted by Bob in Musings about Life on 8/8/2006
There’s a joke that is worth repeating. It is so old it comes from the days when the only serious minorities in America were Jews and blacks.
One day an angel appeared before a black man, a Jew and a White Anglo-Saxon Protestant (WASP) and said, “I am here to offer each of you your fondest wish!”
The black man said, “My people have been hated and exploited by white people for centuries, and I’m sick of it! My wish is that all of our people were back in Africa!”
“Your wish is granted,” Said the angel, and the black man disappeared.
The Jew said, “My people have been persecuted even longer! White gentiles have driven us all over the world and hated us. My fondest wish is that all Jews could be in Israel.”
“Your wish is granted!” Shouted the angel, and the Jew disappeared in a puff of holy smoke.
Then the angel looked at the WASP and said, “Don’t YOU have a wish?”
The WASP pondered a while and then said, “So all the blacks are in Africa and all the Jews are in Israel, eh?”
The angel replied, “Yes.”
The WASP said, “I think I’ll take a Diet Coke.”
Another Point About Horace
Posted by Bob in Musings about Life on 8/1/2006
In the piece below I puzzled over why parents are cruel enough to stick their male infant with a name like Horace. I said upper-class Southerners had an even worse habit: They would name their male newborn BEVERLEY. I talked about one kid who was constantly in fights after it was discovered htat his middle name was Beverley.
Needless to say, any boy whose parents had stuck him with the name “Beverley” tried desperately to hide it until he got old enough to change it. But this reminded me of something.
Beverley is a HORRIBLE name for a boy. But I knew one upper class man who ran for governor of North Carolina whose name was I. Beverley Lake. I never found out what the I. stood for.
Whatever that I. stood for was so bad he used it was an initial and ACCEPTED Beverley!
Lord, I don’t WANT to know what monstrosity the I. was for!

The Basics Don’t Change

In the previous article I said that Bob has been repeating the same thing for roughly 30 years, I want to clarify that statement since it can be intrepreted as a slight. I didnt mean it as a slight. Bob has been hammering on the basics and the basics just don’t change!
The Basics Don’t Change
Posted by Bob on September 22, 2004 at 10:49 am
An old professor friend of mine was very enthusiastic about “Why Johnny Can’y Think: America’s Professor-Priesthood.” He was also amazed about how consistent my ideas have been since we met forty years ago.
With due apologies I pointed out to him that his ideas about arithmetic were also consistent. Since I met him he got his PhD and had a long academic career, but he still repeats “2+2=4″ today exactly the same way he did when he was eight years old.
I am still looking at the most basic facts of politics and economics. They are exactly like 2+2=4. They don’t change.
Rememer that there was a whole theory and university science of medicine before they accepted the existence of bacteria. There was a whole university study of economics, called political economy, long before anybody ever heard of supply and demand. Before they heard of bacteria or supply and demand, both medicine and economics were destructive.
I am still trying to introduce the idea of wordism and the professional biases of social scientists into the field of social science. Until that is done, they are still exactly where medicine was when doctors regularly bled people to death and economics was when it pushed the old Mercantile System. They are stupid and they are wrong.
I have spent a frustrating lifetime trying to talk real social science to the social science professors who sell bleeding and Mercantilism in the social sciences today. I will keep doing it.
I will also keep saying 2+2=4.
I am indeed very consistent.
