Real talent is in enormous demand.

The most influential and successful people simply wait “to be found”. That tips them off that they are dealing with the right people.

For example, do you really think the CEOs of our largest global corporations let anyone into the inner circle who doesn’t have the brains to bypass the human resources department? At senior levels, the human resources department exists solely to be bypassed.

Robert Whitaker constantly warns against moaning and bitching. The reason is that he understands the arithmetic of “inner circles”.

This is real politics. In the big leagues, it is required that you not pay an entrance fee (and lacking the proper credentials actually helps). If you are too stupid not to be capable of sneaking in, and making mugs of the security apparatus around you, they don’t want you.

Why do you think Reagan signed on Robert Whitaker, a right wing politically incorrect radical?

Another example of this principle is Marilyn Monroe who at the height of her fame would never pay the slightest attention to any fan who wasn’t a loner and who wasn’t able to figure out a novel way of trapping her as she was only being tugged at by millions.

I once had a fascinating friend who made it a mission to personally know every major show business celebrity in the world even though he was an absolute nobody. It was amazing how often he succeeded and these celebrities were delighted with him.

My favorite memory of him was that he plotted for days to crash the reception line at one of Queen Elizabeth’s US visits. I told him it was impossible, but he refused not to try.

Of course he failed, though he avoided being arrested. He was miffed, as he was intent on undertaking a personal friendship with the Queen. He thought I was stupid.

But the basic point is that life isn’t a dress rehearsal for something else. All the bitchers and moaners never get that.

If it is going to get done, we gotta do it.

Thanks, Dave.

I was very disappointed when I looked at the comments yesterday. Mderpelding, who used to get to the nub of things, just followed the bitchy line he has taken up lately.

Another commenter saw my using David Duke as an example and talked about Duke. He also gave the same line as mderpelding, “guarded hope,” “Let’s us mature guys show cynicism.”

Cynicism is like dirty words and cigarettes in grammar school. It is supposed to sound mature, “realistic.” The Greatest Generation never grew up beyond their grammar school years. They were slammed back to childlike obedience and safe, quiet griping in basic training. They never dared challenge the powers that be, but they never said THAT. They said they were being “realistic” and cynical.

They growled and bitched and whined and retreated farther than any other generation would have thought possible, from white supremacy in the 1930s to groveling by the time their time of power passed.

And they hid behind “realism.”

I would like to remind Z and mderpelding that there is only one person in BUGS who does NOT use a pseudonym, and it isn’t either of them.

In terms of the person Dave gave as an example, my choice to put my name out here was incredibly costly. I HAD a huge list of celebrities I corresponded with, and could easily have expanded on it. I could have made more money and written some mainline books, but I decided that before I died I would concentrate on where the enemy’s weak points were, after a lifetime of doing this successfully and getting PAID for it.

As Dave points out, this is real, big-league POWER politics. This is a life decision. To others it is just a chance to vent their spleen or whine about defeat, but that is NOT what BUGS is about. I let the comments flow in, and I keep telling you what is wrong with so many of them, but the obsession with examples and the whining and the “I’m a grownup Realist” crap continues to be a hobby horse on and off for almost all of you at one time or another.

Some are growing out of that childish nonsense. If some of my BUGS people are bad about it, Stormfront is full of it. It has been seventy years since the first of two generations who never grew up took over, the “Greatest” and the hippies, and this disease will not be cured overnight.

The fact is that one more cynic is blank space. We’ve all seen so much of it that it doesn’t hurt, and it adds nothing we haven’t seen a thousand times before.

Truth does not require a huge expanse of words. Wordism lives on nothing else. Dave sums it up nicely:

“But the basic point is that life isn’t a dress rehearsal for something else. All the bitchers and moaners never get that.

If it is going to get done, we gotta do it.”

I’ve done it. I am here to suggest how to do it. Cynicism, nit-picking and whining are a dime a dozen.
