The
Next Stage of Civilization Will Not Come From Asia
When the average
American thinks of Oriental Wisdom, three pictures flash through his
mind.
One is the 1970s
television series called "Kung Fu," where David Carradine took the
great Chinese Wisdom and fighting ability he had learned as a child
in a Kung Fu academy in China into the American West.
Actually, Kung Fu
was introduced to China by a man whose BLUE EYES supposedly burned a
hole through a wall, according to the legend. His name was Bodhidharma, and he
is mentioned as "the blue-eyed devil" in the quote below.
Another thing we
always see in the Orient is the Buddha, whose statues are all very
Oriental-looking. Actually, Buddha was an Aryan who lived and died
in India.
As one Buddhist puts it,
"We're all prepared
to visualize the Buddha's blue eyes. He was an Aryan, of European
descent, a nobleman in a societal caste system that did not
‘officially' intermarry with native populations. The rigidity of the
system can be seen even in further generations. Nearly a thousand
years later, Bodhidharma, another Aryan descendant, was called The
Blue Eyed Demon by the Chinese.'"
"Also, in recent
years we've witnessed the startling discoveries of three thousand
year-old blond and red haired Caucasian mummies in the Takla Makan
area of western China."

A third thing we
Americans know about Oriental Wisdom is medical treatments we think
were invented there, like acupuncture. The Ice Man, the body of a
white man found preserved in the Alps, is three thousand years old.
He has tattoos on him that mark the spots for acupuncture .
Reading a history
of the Orient is like reading a history of false starts. They
invent a printing press and then lose it. They invent a mechanical
clock and then lose it.
As a human being, I
am interested in where the next generation of great advances will
come from. New areas of the earth are being opened up with the
fall of Communism. But I do not look for China to produce
fundamental advances.
How about Russia
and Eastern Europe?
Russia -- First World Complexion, Third World
Attitude
In 1776, Adam Smith noted that while China was poor, India was
desperate.
Two hundred years
later, India was the example people used when they talked about
places that were desperately poor. With all the world to choose
from, India is where Mother Theresa went to help the poorest of the
poor.
But today Indian
workers often get paid better than Russian workers.
Too many Russians
steal. People I know who live there are afraid to use the mail
because anything worth having will get stolen. No one gets fired
for this.
The old Communist
attitude is deeply burned into the modern Russian. He is poorly
paid, so he says that is somebody else's fault. If you want
something done in Russia, you have to know who to pay. So nothing
gets done easily. A modern economy cannot run that way.
In the Soviet Union,
each task belonged to some particular person. The buyer was the
servant. The buyer waited for whoever was providing the service to
show up at his own convenience, scowl at them, and do it if he felt
like it.
That economy finally
collapsed.
But that economy is
still in Russia. In a bank, if the one person who handles a
particular task is not there that day, someone else cannot do it.
A modern economy
cannot function like that.
Russian attitudes are
very much like the attitudes in the more stagnant Latin American
countries.
Russia can change.
Some of it has changed. The people whose attitudes have changed are
getting rich. Russia in general is poor to an extent the average
American, even in the ghetto, cannot imagine.
Heredity Sets the UPPER Limit
on What You Can Do
When someone argues
that white people are just like everybody else, they usually point
to places like Russia, where white people live worse than many brown
people do in underdeveloped countries.
The critical point
here is that heredity sets the UPPER limit on what a person can do.
The smartest person on earth can be ruined. You can take a
congenital idiot and a person born with a genius IQ and put them
both side by side in a cellar at birth, and when they are ten years
old, both will be totally ignorant and helpless.
While the rest of the
world was advancing like never before, Russians spent seventy years
in a Communist cellar.
If you want to do
business in Russia or in the third world, you have to learn some of
the stupidest, most childish rules imaginable. That is fine for
you, you are just following the rules countries use that keep
themselves mired in poverty. But as long as those countries do
things their way, they will remain desperately poor.
But the parts
of Russia that break free of this nonsense can contribute to our
world in ways we cannot yet imagine. Japan adopted Western methods
and rapidly reached our level, but there they stopped. I do not
believe that Orientals are capable of finding AND KEEPING new levels, the way
the white man does.
An ignorant white man
is like any other ignorant man. But his UPPER limit is much, much
higher than that of other peoples.
We All Need Russia to Come Out of Its
Communist Stupor
We all know that if you want to be a
college professor, you have to swear that race does not exist.
We also know that, like all required
beliefs, the idea that race does not exist is silly.
We also know that if you want an
academic job or academic grants or academic prizes, you not only
have to swear that whites do not exist, you have to hate whites,
too. See
September 20, 2003 --
If Hitler Hated Jews, Then All Our National Spokesmen Hate Whites
By demanding that third world populations pour into ALL white
countries, and ONLY into white countries, the world has a program to
eliminate whites completely.
But everyone wants the progress only whites have ever produced.
That makes white populations like those behind the former Iron
Curtain particularly important. Only a tiny proportion of the
world is white, and a major portion of that remaining white
population is in Russia and Eastern Europe.
A major portion of the earth's remaining white population wasted
decades under a sterile Marxist system. It is important
that they come out of the that Leninist stupor and help human
progress as only whites can.
