I sent the mantra to 12 people that I know personally. I got replies from exactly no one. Well damn, I don’t care. They have been told.

Shari, most people think that twelve mail outs and no replies is bad. But the grassroots conservative movement, back when liberals absolutely controlled ALL media, as based on direct mail.
Here’s the way it works.
1) You rent a random three thousand names off of somebody’s much bigger list. That is enough to make a statistically valid test of that general list. If you were a conservative interested in prayers in schools, you might rent three thousand off of a list of a hundred thousand who have given money to support some other conservative religious cause.
2) If you get a TWO PERCENT RETURN on that list, it is a wild success. That means not one in twelve, but one in fifty. You almost always lose money on a test.
3) Now you decide to go ahead and rent the whole hundred thousand because you only lost about half the money you spent on the test. Why on earth would you do this, knowing it will cost you money?
Because when you mail the whole hundred thousand, you can expect two thousand people to respond. Actually two percent is ridiculously high, but this is for basics.
You have now found, by the only way then possible, two thousand people who are interested in YOUR cause and will give you money. You put those two thousand on your OWN “house list.” These are people you can appeal to from time to time and you will get a ten to twenty percent return from them.
4) You mail your house list to fund your organization, but you keep testing other lists.
When conservatism was a grass roots movement, this was about the only way groups survived. Now the neos have brought in the usual big Jewish money which has control and conservatism gives the finger to the grassroots.
But dealing in direct mail teaches you that people don’t respond to even small group mailings more than we do. I get a HUGE number of things that I read, but I respond to very, very few.
My local newspaper has a circulation of at least a hundred thousand. They print almost every letter to the editor that is not blatantly Politically Incorrect. People who read the editorial page send in maybe a half a dozen letters a day. Call that a response rate of one in ten thousand. Cut out the repeat offenders and it is down to on in twenty or thirty thousand.
But every day the newspaper keeps putting out editorials anyway.
You will note that when I get comments here I am a happy old bigot.
Now you know why.

The propagation of influence is one of the most opaque subjects there is. You are dealing with motive, the world’s trickiest subject.
I watch the trajectories of influence and it is usually a trajectory of the most vulgar stupidity. It functions at this biological infantile level and watching it is almost like watching excrement flow through an alimentary canal, and you see how the grossest stupidity is so utterly controlling.
This is why a politician like Hillary Clinton is unable to hide her complete cynicism while her earthier husband Bill is more tolerant.
Of course, this is my elitism talking, but I can’t help it. In reality, I feel like horsewhipping “the great unwashed” out there, the standard attitude of an elitist.
Nevertheless, all I know is that there are very influential people in the world whose influence does not function at this level. BW is certainly one of these people.
In the fashion industry leading marketing firms have scouts they send worldwide to detect influential youth for clues to styles that perhaps could be popularized. They are looking for young “Norma Jean’s”, people who are hugely influential just because they are who they are.
I think that is the way influence at “this other level” really works. It is simply a function a mysterious “power of personality”.
The Jews believe they can play this power. They really believe they can. They truly believe in their “proven success” at doing so. They hang much of their fate upon it.
What fools; they are deluded and doomed.
This power is not manageable by anyone or any group.
The fact that Bay Watch was a huge global success, with the incredible pull of blue eyed blonds, means so much more for our cause than any bazillion direct mail campaigns ever could.
We have real “forces” on our side.
Again, I go back to Mark’s Brilliant Line:
“Those who own the present own the Future. Those who own the present NEVER have any serious relationship to what is really going to happen.”

Two percent is one in FIFTY, not one in twenty.

The Artist Formerly Known As Nobody replies:
There is a larger lesson in all of this.
There is a principle known as Pareto’s Law, otherwise known as the 80/20 rule. Simply stated, you get 80% of your rewards from 20% of your efforts. Apply this to our RACIAL brethren, and you soon come to the conclusion that I am being very comfortable with:
Only about 1 percent of the population – for now! – is even remotely ready to hear what we have to day, and talking to the other 99% is simply a guarantee of ever-deepening frustration. Indeed, all too many of our RACIAL Brethren are simply incapable of hearing our message; indeed, most of them would just as soon dissociate from us, consigning us to the Outer Darkness.
Bluntly, if you will look at the deeper histories of the Great Depression, you saw a incredibly radical thread in American politics – look, for example, at Upton Sinclair, or Huey Long. People who identified with the nominal Middle Class, who had lost virtually everything, are ready for creative alternatives in all spheres of society.
I think it’s because of one reason – people simply do not want to have to think. The smooth, pat answer always wins, until they awaken one morning to find their home has four wheels. It’s their car.
I live in an area where substantial layoffs have taken place, and a LOT more are in the line for Fall of this year. Layoffs took place six months ago, and the loss of unemployment insurance has REALLY concentrated peoples minds. Yet, the ONLY places that people are receptive to the idea of RACE are people who see all they have worked for in their lives slowly disappear…
So, with less than one percent of our RACIAL brethren even remotely willing to hear our message today, we can rest assured that this will increase over time, and our focus should be on quality versus quantity.
And, incidentally, by framing the issue of RACE in terms of FAMILY, the door is opened to RACE as the Living Bridge between Family and Culture. You will, of course, recognize Peter Shank’s formulation of our focus – FAMILY, RACE and CULTURE.
In the meantime, we must be what we want the world to become.
THAT should be challenge enough for anyone!
