The issue was whether concealed carry permit holders in South Carolina could carry into a bar or a restaurant serving drinks, which almost every upper-price restaurant does.
I don’t know if this will get the listen to the silence message through more than all those repetitions, but in this case the sudden silence was about as subtle as that thing they dropped on Hiroshima. It passed the House Committee, it passed the House, and then total silence.
I am sure that whole period was days of wine and roses for NRA and whoever lobbied the bill locally. The Silence reigned. The State paper, which would support a Sullivan Law in South Carolina, also kept it silent.
After months, I saw a person on the web asking where that law went.
The Chairman of the State Senate Committee to which it was referred simply killed it.
A professional lobbyist or staffer who is tracking a bill knows which committee it will be referred to and its chairman’s attitude long before the bill is even formally introduced, at least in DC. I HEARD THE SILENCE, and I assumed the NRA was doing what big money lobbies for none-too-bright grassroots constituents normally do.
They knew the bill was doomed from the start and raised big donations on getting through the House Committee and the House, then let it die predictably.
The local newspaper, which belongs to a liberal national chain, may have put it in somewhere. I don’t read it, but it was the silence among members and donors out in grass roots that, in connection with the Silence, that got my attention.
They were still donating and joining to back that bill long after it passed the House and went to its death in the State Senate. The NRA pulled this kind of trick all the time. My boss was a member of its huge Board, but he couldn’t get them to stop the duck hunting crap or get serious in their technical lobbying.
No one is interested in these things I repeatedly mention. But if you are going to go for power, you will have to LISTEN for the SILENCE
You are going to have to READ and COMMENT on the lessons I repeat over and over and over.

“Demographics is Destiny”
The “Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965” sponsored by Emanuel Celler (JD-NY) was passed under the guise that it would NOT change the demographics of the USA, which at that time was close to 90% white. —I hear the silence.
“Forced Integration is Genocide”
Segregation laws were deemed illegal under the guise that everyone should be equal and changing these laws was NOT intended to give non-whites better access to white woman and children. And forced integration was not a form of assimilation that would result in higher intermarriages and the genocide of white people. —I still hear the silence.

It`s a dirty tactic bleeding your enemy by setting up/controlling org`s “for their benefit”.
I see though, that there is some pushback against the NRA in favor of the Gunowners of America, although the NRA will remain the favored opposition.

Has anyone thought about approaching the new British nationalist party BDP about the mantra. What would be the best way to go about that?

I agree that it is “Kabuki theater”, happening more and more because of the severe polarization of the present-day political sentiments. The two opposing forces are, generally, anti-White “baby boomers” and up-and-coming White youth. One will have to win, one is closer to Death’s door.

So, in the future when pro-White spokesman emerge and become socially acceptable, we will see the same lobbyists we see in every other field. We will see pro-White lobbyists whose goal is to collect money, not so much get anything done.
This would be true regardless of any plots the other side puts together. It’s just a permanent feature of the political process.
What baffles me is how people engaged enough to send in money could be oblivious to the lack of results. I understand how the average person misses the silence and the lack of results.
But how do dues paying members not notice?

I think they feel good when they write their checks, just like the posters at SF feel good when they write their posts.

“But how do dues paying members not notice?”
Could it be for the same reason the voters keep falling for the scams of politicians?

An army runs on its stomach, and a lobby runs on its funding.
Once again, our disadvantage of not having any funding gives us another advantage– we only work towards results!
A great new Manta video I found today on White News Now:

You’ll find that series of videos uses “Anti-White”, “White Genocide” and, many talking points.

While I’m on the topic of words I’ve seen of late; before BUGS and Horus I’d never seen the word used much. Leaving out pro-Whites; I’ve still seen the word Meme more in the past year than in the rest of my life combined.

I remember the first time I read/heard: ‘If you outlaw guns only outlaws will have guns’.
Either the NRA is retarded for this not being their Mantra or they are indeed the controlled opposition.
