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.

I took note of that line too. “But the basic point is that life isn’t a dress rehersal for something else.” It’s not! It’s just the beginning. We have to do what ever, even little, we can do now.

“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.” (Bob)
OK, and your point is?

in reply to Z:
Well, I can speak for MY point.
I think my larger point in this context is this:
Someone who claims we are the functional equivalent of – what? – cowards? – for not disclosing our Real World identities is (1) acting like a child, demanding from others what they have no right to demand from anyone, and (2) is concerned with trivial issues to the exclusion of any substantive work on a substantive issue, like, oh, forming the founding Meritocratic Aristocracy of a New Nation.
My lesser point is, why on Earth do you care?
It’s what we discuss and act upon: the ideas, the ideals, and the Real World implication of these, in the context of a positive theory of Race that matters.

Are you saying that I suggested someone was a coward for not using there real name? If anyone thinks this, then I must have communicated my point poorly. I just brought up the question becuase I think about it sometimes and thought that I could have this discussion here. I am very, very sorry if anyone took this the wrong way.
But now that we’re talking about it, I would like to add something about Bob’s open activism. Its interesting that liberals never use Bob’s life long dedication to ending white genocide as a smear against Reagan? The media could “expose” the fact that Bob worked in the Reagan administration and also discuss his writings on race. They could “prove” that Reagen was a “racist.” I also noticed that the ADL doesn’t have much to say about Bob.
The reason for this is simple. Its more dangerous for them smearing Bob, because then his ideas might get out. Its better for our enemies that they show lots of pictures of Nazis but not talk about people like Bob.
I think this is important. In fact, if ever I did become more public with the issue of race, I’d want it to be like Bob. It says something when people consider your ideas so dangerous that they don’t even smear you because your name might get out.
Again I want to say that I, in no way, called anyone a coward. If I was calling anyone a coward, it might of been me but that was purely for the purpose of self-actualization. I just wanted to clear this up becuase we’re all mature adults here and no miscommucation should get in the way or disrupt the work done at BUGS.

Let us spend our time shooting ourselves in the foot, that is what the last couple of threads have been this weekend. I’ll stand by my comment of “guarded hope” and it has nothing to do with cynicism, in fact it is a bridge comment that could flesh out the argument.
First Mr. Duke has for the last few years has played the game of, “Revealed, The Secrets of the Jews.” So is this latest headline one of sincere intent or of shortterm gain?
Second yes Mr. Duke has real authority, but can his audience take up the message? Is the mantra ahead of the game, is the field ready to sprout the crop? From what I know few whites are ready to accept that genocide is the logical conclusion of today’s direction or ideology. So is even Stormfront ready to move from the “Secrets of the Jews” to the Mantra thinking?
