My concept of power is coming up with an idea and getting it to the world in general. Most people get an idea and write a book about it. That is RELATIVELY easy, thought I hope never to write another book.
“If I had had more time, I would have written less.” In other words, this old writers’ rule says that the more you want to boil your idea down, the more work you have to put into it. A big book takes a lot of work, but not nearly as much as thinking and rethinking a concept until one has it in a short form that seems obvious once somebody has heard it.
There is no reward for this but raw power. When someone finally writes a thick book saying what I worked out, the doctrine goes in his name.
But this endless work of boiling it down is only the beginning. Once an idea has been boiled down to “Labor VOTES” or “EVERY white country and ONLY white countries,” it is just the beginning, though that is more work than a book in itself. Once I get the formula and say it, I get a blank look and the person I am talking to goes onto discuss the Great Theory or The Latest Thing.
It was not until 1982 that I was able to put together The New Right Papers, and it was the vehicle for Societal Property Rights — “Labor VOTES” — to be the vehicle I had been seeking for years.
Getting a formula into tens of millions of minds — that is what Madison Avenue makes its billions doing. I pointed that out in my Arizona speech and got the usual dazed look back.
I did this on concept after concept, and I have found that it works best when no one traces it back to me. Power is NOT getting credit. Getting credit is a separate job altogether.
But try to conceive of the WORK involved here. Try to imagine the YEARS each idea took.
It is important for me to take credit here so that you will REALIZE that you have the only key to true power in the real world right here in BUGS.
All this is to introduce a comment from me:
YOU have made the Mantra proceed. You need to keep slamming at them with it and be encouraged by the fact that Fjordmann and others are getting the idea after I have been pushing it for over two decades.
We are changing the world, the REAL world, not the “I am Tough and Practical” world.
This is a geometric progression. When my ideas come back in a mainline source, it has gone from me to a hundred thousand. From a hundred thousand to a major impact on policy is a shorter process — though it seems long to us — than getting the first stage.
I join in Sarge in saying, “We are marching. YOU are the only ones who understand what we are doing. Power is the only encouragement you will get for a while. It has driven me for over half a century.
Now, with Fjordmann, you SEE it working. It took two decades to get this far.
But as long as only we see it, only we have the power.

So I’ve read Fjordmann’s commentary and some blog comments responding to his commentary on anti-Muslim websites. All I read is talk of “immigrants”, “Muslims”, “terror”, the “Islamic threat” and all the Latest Crimes. There is NOTHING about race. He and others of his ilk may very well be assimilationists who want the Arabs and Africans to “become” Swedes, thereby saving the Swedes.
However, I am being led to believe there are people out there like Bob and some supporters of Ron Paul who can SEE things better than the rest of us and know that real change comes in incremental steps, not torchlight parades. Still, I need more to convince me that the Cause is more than an escapist belief system not extending beyond an angry, small and geographically dispersed group on the Internet.
To give such an example, there were a few demonstrations in Russia and Sweden in recent memory that actually show there are people out there that will attach their names and faces to their beliefs and march for them by the dozen. No torchlights, but slogans, colorful flags, and physical presence.
I must be of a different character, because to me, that commands more respect than I would have for an argument of a radical bent posted anonymously on an Internet forum by someone who appears to be a “lone nut”, i.e. not much different than a stranger who hands you a disagreeable religious pamphlet without giving a sense there are many in his congregation.
Maybe it’s the case that people like myself are not your target audience. You have said you are looking for the people who will take the Mantra and “run with it” — the ones you would consider the true intellectuals of our age. People like me are the group that the ideas trickle down to, and so it is nauseating for me to read forum threads containing the Mantra that are answered with the same crap by people who are similarly situated at the bottom of the idea chain.
Since time and resources are limited, maybe these postings should be better targeted, especially avoiding bottom feeders like Hannity’s followers.

I wrote a letter to v-dare in response to some Hindu supremicist, and the Guzzardi fellow modified it dropping the best part. Now I can see cleaning up my syntax since I answered it right out of bed when I was half asleep, but dropping this part “(reads white)” basically killed my premise and went into the wordist safe zone. But since I aim to solve problems and not simply bitch about them, I’ll try. When faced with a hannity who spouts the nonsense I simply ask them in various forms, “Do you really believe that?”, “That is a polite fiction, none of it means much of anything, does it?”, “Can you prove that or am I to assume that out of politeness?” and so on.

I sent a short two sentence letter to Guzzardi about a Sailor piece. He didn’t post it. So he obviously notices. He, perhaps, doesn’t even strongly disagree, but hasn’t seen his way clear to say so.

Not good enough…
“Now, with Fjordmann, you SEE it working. It took two decades to get this far.”
Quotes mine.
This fella wrote a big piece in which he refers to pre-Christian whites as barbarians.
Yessir, exposure to Christianity magically transformed ignorant barbaric whites into civilized men.
So the miracle of Western Civilization is the result of words in an Arabic holy book and not about the natural abilities of those stupid white barbarians. Lysenko would be proud. So would Phil Donohue.
Christianity seeks to make sheep out of men. It has succeeded admirably. But it took a thousand years to accomplish.
Now we must men out of sheep.
