It often happens that when someone tries for years fruitlessly and finally gets what he is after, he is left wondering which way to go next.
Or even to measure any further success.
After decades of trying to get a few people not to say DUHH! I have hundreds or thousands of activists out there not only repeating but developing our theme.
This always been a bit of a problem for me, because I never looked for things that could be measured, like membership or readership. I always measured my success in a way that no one else even understood, and I certainly had no way to be exact:
Certain words in certain places.
So maybe it’s time I got some advice from YOU.
If you don’t lose your enthusiasm and your zest for shoving the Mantra up their … consciousness … I have personally succeeded beyond my wildest dreams. What you are doing now will carry the field.
If you keep it up.
My own writings have become PART of BUGS. They used to BE BUGS, but that was back when I was slowly developing the present situation.
And when I say “developing,” I don’t believe that Wise Old Bob already had the present BUGS in mind and was teaching his Disciples what to do.
No, one can read the thousands of articles in the archives and watch ME develop as I wrote for a small number of Southern Nationalists, then for what might be called the extreme right, then, after finding Stormfront, for pro-whites.
My ideology was always what it is, but like so many of us, I kept trying to find he right ALLIANCE for pro-whites to be in. I hate to disappoint anyone who thinks I’m a Prophet, but it took me years to finally to realize, once and for all, that the QUEST FOR ALLIES was what had crippled us for so long.
My old friend and champion William Rusher just died. He led the half of National Review that backed me in 1976 making my twenty-year campaign for a conservative coalition of Wallace Democrats with conservative Republicans part of the conservative mainstream
That successful ALLIANCE elected Reagan and doomed the entire Soviet Empire.
But on the racial front, I had spend the same decades watching every possible alliance betray us.
The problem is that most people look on Hard Intellectual Work as trying to get a one-up on Great Intellectuals in quoting French or Latin phrases or getting a quote from The Somebody Show. People in DC kept congratulating me when my picture was on the front page of the New York Times. To them, that really is success.
I tried not to act like I was acting modest, but that really wasn’t what I cared about.
One of my great discoveries has been that I can attain real power while others are looking for recognition or credit or promotion or any of the other dozen things people look for.
This is a giant advantage. The drawback is that when you try to explain it no one understands what you are talking about. How does making things move the way you want them to move get you what everybody says everybody is really after, money, fame, A Place in History.
My answer is that NOT looking for money, fame, or a Place in History is a major part of my owns success in my own terms. Which makes my measures of success absolutely unfathomable to others.
And now I have an audience that fathoms it.
This is a hell of change to face as one passes threescore and ten.
It is an embarrassment of riches.
So how to I help keep our enthusiasm up?
Or what else do I need to do to help at this time, keeping mind that I don’t have the energy I had,
In any case, an embarrassment of riches beats the hell out of intellectual poverty.

If you ever felt just up to rambling and talking, I’d love some new Untrained Eye pods on any topic. Especially love hearing tidbits of history, not just from you, but others on site, connections between things that suddenly click. Part of the reconstruction work of thinking is just making things make sense in cause-and-effect-reality, whosdoingwhattowhom, practical politics.
would rather hear you just talk than even interviews, as you’re more interesting than some of the questions other people come up with to ask you, imo.
#3 by Genseric on 05/03/2011 - 10:45 am
I second this supremely wonderful notion. In fact, that is precisely HOW I got hooked/roped into this great gig Bob calls BUGS.
The untrained eye and porch talk were ALL that I listened to at work for an entire 6 months.
I don’t mean or want for this to sound like I am bagging on anyone. But, the interview process does sort of take away from Bob and The Mantra. The message seems to always get diluted a bit. Maybe this is because Mantra Thinkers(BUGSters) aren’t the ones asking the questions??
I am not the best listener by any stretch of the imagination. But, I have been practicing and working on it. One thing I have learned, and I think this applies to interviewing too, is that when someone is done ANSWERING a question, they will let you know with verbal and non-verbal ques.
You just have to LISTEN for it/them.

It’s an awful thing to have spent your like getting credit,promotions,money unearned, etc. The result is an an empty shell, soon to be forgotten.
On the other hand, looking, fighting for, wanting the simple truth and right, results in a real person with a heart and brains, no matter how many mistakes or failures behind them. The old story remains the same. What they have done will last way beyond their own life. It will even grow more and more.

The greatest crime of Political Correctness is that it excuses stupidity.
Saying an embarrassment of riches beats the hell out of intellectual poverty is an understatement.
The rewards of real knowledge are immense. It is not possible to overstate that.
That’s what makes Mommy Professor so ridiculous. On behalf of her vanity she sells out for nickels when more than the treasure in Fort Knox is available. What a dolt she is. How dumb can you get?

For me, the way I get to exercise TRUE power is through attaining & holding the moral high ground in this modern day and age. Even if that means that I take, hold, and voice unpopular and politically incorrect opinions. The Mantra and its effective implementation are the tools which one uses in order to achieve this. By choosing The Mantra, I do/choose this for myself.
We are not advocating FOR the destruction, elimination, or oppression of anyone. We are the Advocates for, Guardians and Protectors of The People. We endeavor to preserve the existence of and secure a future for White Children Everywhere. We are the sentinels and the minutemen of TOMORROW, right now! And That, ladies and gentlemen, makes us TRUE conservatives – as well as cultural conservationists.
“The sine qua non of a CONSERVATIVE is someone who rises above his personal self-interest and promotes moral and economic values beneficial to all.”
-conservapedia.com
Bob Whitaker is not only a conservative, poet and a visionary, but he HAS succeeded in empowering His people to choose that same vision (or the doorway to it) too. That makes him a NATURAL-BORN Leader. He is exactly the kind of guy that leads from the front.
The game has changed. The paradigm HAS shifted. THEY just don’t know it yet!
It’s not about who has the most money, who’s house is biggest, or what kind of fancy car you have in the garage. For the avant-garde of today, the moral high ground is what they seek to hold and control. And By God we have it, thanks to Bob Whitaker and the whole lot of evilBUGSTERSwhowantoslaythepinkrabbiteverywhere. They were busy selling their souls in the name of Instant Gratification while, little did they know, we were taking all of the proper measurements for their straight jackets.
And oh by the by, Bob. You WILL be getting ‘A Place in History’ if things keep going the way they have been. I hate to tell you this, but you JUST don’t have a say in the matter.
Tschüss!

Your insights into the current news stories would be helpful. Today the internet is a buzz with talk of the death of Osama. That is all anyone seems to want to talk about how do we relate this back to the Mantra and keep the Mantra in front of everyone? I’m sure the answer is obvious, I just don’t aways see it til old Bob points it out to me
#8 by Simmons on 05/03/2011 - 11:06 am
Gator develop your own Mantra insights into the “News.”
My turn to kiss up.
Basically Bob is a lucky man for being so scorned for decades, let me explain.
Primarily our jewish “friends” inflated the “Vanity” bubble that is popping and disintegrating today.
Every dog face a death camp liberator, every white woman a goddess who does good work for the diversity, every white male who emasculates himself given a treat.
How embarrasing for those jews who had to flatter their lessers, how lucky to have escaped that flattery.
I take it everyone in the core group here has noticed that once you have taken a Mantra dagger and actually pushed it deep into the psyche of a white anti-white that they completely deflated?
That is the vanity bubble deflating, taking from the anti-white everything they value with it, utter ruin.
I would say at this stage of life Bob is a lucky man. If I’m wrong I demand rebuke.
#9 by Gator61 on 05/03/2011 - 1:07 pm
Simmons,
I do my best to do just that, but I’ve never been a political insider like old Bob and I do value his insights.
#10 by Scythian on 05/03/2011 - 1:17 pm
How can anyone (especially white people) read the Mantra and say “DUHH”? Speaking as an “ethnic northerner” son of European peasant immigrants who had the same mommy professor education and subjected to the same anti-white media as everyone else – that’s incomprehensible to me! I said “DUHH” in the other way it is meant – sarcastically. Destroying anti-white cults is a warrior’s dream come true. Tanks.
#11 by H.Avenger on 05/03/2011 - 1:45 pm
Do a few more Untrained Eye podcasts. You can also read your book “Why Johnny Can’t Think” into a series of short podcasts. People would love to hear that.
Keep up your writing as you see fit. But maybe it is time to add some new podcasts to the mix.
#12 by D. Logsdon on 05/03/2011 - 2:34 pm
Bob,
“What else do I need to do to help at this time?”
May I suggest that the one two punch or the follow up to the mantra would be to accomplish the same with the concept that White Flight is always preceded by Black flight. Many we attempt to influence (even whites) can finally yield to the logic and truth of the mantra but still conclude since all the evil in the world is argued the creation of the white race then perhaps it’s okay to see us finally go away anyway. If the obvious fact is made undeniable (like the attempt at White Genocide) that White flight is caused by Non-white flight it drives home the point that non-whites always move to White areas to get away from their own kind. That fact destroys the illusion they live under that white genocide could ever improve anything for any race. Everyone knows that when non-whites accumulate money or success they move away from their own and marry a white woman or man. How could anyone ever deny that fact? Could they argue that non-whites that move away are bias against their own kind? Could they argue that they don’t understand the culture? That second logical step to follow up the Mantra could blow things apart and reveal the twisted lies they use to justify their attack on whites in every category.
Please consider it as a topic for a follow up.

“What else do I need to do to help at this time?”
For us:
Tell us how to properly organize a political rally – a People’s rally.
Is it premature to start advertising The Mantra locally and in person, organizationally speaking? Given the fact that the United States is so large, would a network of local outfits promoting The Mantra be too risky and/or counterproductive? Is there an outline to follow for an effective media blitz? Is there a preferred way of embedding The Mantra into an alternative message?
For you:
Keep memoirs, even ones detailing your ‘shadow years.’ Do you want to write your bio? I realize a lot of it’s here, but I am sure you have purposely omitted certain details.
You obviously realize that BUGSsters have the ability to reach out and touch folks. That being said, keep in mind that as the BUGS numbers grow, nationally-coordinated practical politics can be exercised at your beck and call. Don’t forget that.
From waaaaay up North,
Genseric

First, I would LOVE to hear Bob’s thoughts on organizing rallies/media blitzes. He’s already given us some general outlines from his “Reagan Democrats” years, but some concrete stuff would be awesome.
Second, if Bob EVER wanted to write a memoir, I would personally be willing to buy a train ticket and ride down south to transcribe, organize notes, help him find specific dates and/or names – whatever he needed. Perhaps the most compelling secret weapon the mantra has is its fascinating creator. When white people start hearing it and are “disturbed,” they will want to know who came up with it, and when we show them the things Bob has accomplished and his track record for making accurate predictions, it will be MUCH harder for them to stay in the dark. So, yeah. This AGR would do whatever necessary to get the story of Bob’s life out to the general public.
#17 by Genseric on 05/31/2011 - 12:15 pm
You are a very kind rabbit, Mademoiselle.

To keep me motivated, keep telling us stories from your past. Growing up, my favorite thing was to listen to the old timers talk. Now I’m getting older and all my old timers are dead. So I borrow you.
To help me (and I am sure everyone else) be better at what we do, please give us more insight into “how that stuff works” many of us have never been political insiders and never planned on it. Now with a way to maybe get them to let us in, perhaps you could help us understand the ebb and flo of things in politics better. The posts such as “Sorry Conservatives, police are people too” have been a “DUH” moment for me. As in “I’ll be darned, never thought of it that way before.” I bet I’m not alone in this.
And by the way, congradulations on being good at what you do. When you leave us, your people will be better off than we were before you started. I dont guess any man can ask for more than that
#19 by Frank on 05/03/2011 - 4:34 pm
At this point I cannot think of “more” to be expected from Bob. At this point all I feel is gratitude for what we already have and are doing. But I certainly won’t get up and leave the table if Bob throws more excellent vittles out!
#20 by Wandrin on 05/03/2011 - 9:21 pm
My take is this is effectively a reformation of the PC religion. If the religion can be taken down and the heresy-trance switched off then we should see a White Civil rights type movement springing up on its own.
Logical inconsistencies, hypocrisy and double standards are kryptonite to white rabbits and the biggest double standard of all is attempted White genocide hidden inside the Trojan horse of “anti-racism.”
If so then maybe the best thing is simply keeping the reformation on-message?
One other possibility is maybe Mantra for dummies i.e how to segue from a news story into a Mantra talking point as a kind of training exercise for newbies or curious wanderers or extracts from some of the old Stormfront arguments as a kind of How-To guide?
If you take the standard bell curve diagram
http://expressiveepicurean.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/iq_bell_curve.gif
then there’s about 17% on the far-right, a lot of whom will only want to do their own thing just because. Then there’s the next 34% who’ll use what works and can figure the details our for themselves. However then there’s also the next 34% who could be useful but who might need a bit of a leg-up.
I also like the idea of the porch talks.
In short, mostly keeping the reformation on-message with a rambling break now and then if you get bored and maybe some Mantra for dummies.
#21 by Frank on 05/04/2011 - 2:06 pm
Wandrin said “One other possibility is maybe Mantra for dummies i.e how to segue from a news story into a Mantra talking point as a kind of training exercise…”
This is a VERY important point! Random posting of Mantra without proper context can actually be counterproductive. The key is to understand how to MANIPULATE a story or a commenter into a position where Mantra is just the right medicine.
We need more work by and for ourselves on how to CREATE CLEARINGS for dealing the dirty to the PC Religion.
I’ve only recently discovered that I don’t need to wait for someone to say something like “anti-racism” in order to find an opportunity. Since DAMNED NEAR EVERYTHING coming over the transom in newspapers is marinated in the Marxist-Leninist Religion, it’s pretty easy to pick out a line and show how it’s anti-White.
They won’t love you for doing this!

“So how to I help keep our enthusiasm up?
Or what else do I need to do to help at this time, keeping mind that I don’t have the energy I had,”
I particularly enjoyed taking this anti-white down, because he looks like a typical Mommy Professor:
http://www.whitakeronline.org/blog/2011/04/23/way-to-go-gang/
So Bob, if you or some qualified person could regularly select someone from the academic community, that is an important component in the anti-white machine, and challenge them to debate BUGS, I would really enjoy that.
We could invite them here, or to a neutral location and if they refuse, we could think of ways to invade their territory on a certain day.
We could publicize it as an event, so more people can learn about BUGS and this would be part of the fun.

I truly like this innovative approach. If you could pick any anti-White to verbally slay, who would it be? Mary Frances Berry? Noel Ignatiev? Dr. Kamau Kambon? Tim Wise? Haunani-Kay Trask? Rodolfo Acuna? Leonard Jeffries? Al Sharpton? Lawrence O’Donnell? Chris Matthews? Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr.?
And while we are on the subject. My vote for the pundit who is most likely to actually USE ‘anti-White’ in a sentence goes to Dick Morris. He used it back in 2008 when talking about the Black church community. Very good stuff.

The approval of others has been our downfall, when all of their rewards are from the betrayal of our culture, and our Race.
All of our enemies are only united by their hatred of us; absent us, absent the host, the parasite dies.
The problem is they internalize the Consensus Trance, and prosletyze it by their deeds – whereas the first generation KNEW it was only Words, linked to pictures, as means to an end.
The second, and third generations, are more fervent, without understanding why.
Mommy Professor wins until – like addicts going cold turkey – they can accept what they believe is what they do, and what they do is WRONG. It takes a massive shock – like losing their jobs, their “careers,” and the elements of their Personae that were derived from the approval of Others.
The short answer is podcasts, done not just by Bob, but by a soft, educated female voice – preferable Southern Highlands (think Kristian Abernethy, formerly of the Weather Channel, or Allison Krause).
We have to seep into their minds, and lay the groundwork for their Awakenings.
WE MUST NOT BE CAUGHT IN THE TRAP OF BLAMING THE MYSTERIOUS CONSPIRACIES.
We must show them that their power has been stolen from them, and how to recover it, and build upon it, to be more effective.
Podcasts, which they can play on their media players, work better than the written word because it gets THROUGH mere intellectual analysis.
I could listen to Kristina (or Cherlyl Lemke, also formerly of The Weather Channel) read the alphabet, around the clock.
Eventually, something would click.
If not, keep going until it does, because drip, drip, drip wears away the mountains of resistance.
Linking it to their children, an grandchildren, seems to work very well, as well, because it hits the heart. The promise that hteir grandchildsren will be second class citizens in a Third World Nation really sems to strike a chord with some.
Feed the head, but aim high, and aim for the heart, Bob.
Drip, drip, drip podcasts.

one tear jerker is worth all the logic in the world. show them that they are empty…what has really been stolen… what that emptiness really means, how the yearning that is left in the wake of the theft is used to make them merely consume, to make them consumers
