Very often people visiting Capitol Hill would smile at me and say with a Shrewd look, “I know that the staff really runs Capitol Hill.”
This is one of those statements that is so dumb I didn’t usually bother to dispute it. It’s what us old country Southerners call “bein’ Shrewd,” which is exactly what Oliver Hardy of Augusta, Georgia meant when he said “There is nothing dumber than a dumb man who thinks he’s smart.”
Capitol Hill is all about power. Every member of each House can tell to millimeter just how much real influence he has over a bill or in a debate by just a few words inserted into the Record or into a bill that most people world not even notice.
In the places I worked, any staffer who even slightly tried to run things would be out on his ass and nobody else would hire him.
To say that staff runs Capitol Hill is exactly like saying, Shrewdly, “The clerks at the bank control all the money.”
What would YOU say if some nut told YOU that?
Banks are ABOUT money. Congress is ABOUT power.
Clerks and managers don’t rule the money. Staff doesn’t quietly seep power from the boss any more than a bank manager secretly sneaks money home each night.
In both cases, there is an accounting and it comes quick.
I believe this a major problem I have with Jared and DD. I am not interested in leading a Movement. I leave that job gratefully to them just as I left the job of getting elected gratefully to the guy in the front office.
When John Ashbrook hired me, he told me that he was busy twenty eight hours a day, and he didn’t have time to sit and do the THINKING he needed to do. So I studied HIS views and did the thinking he had not the time to do.
It may be bit hard to Jared and the Blacks to understand that I am NOT trying to replace anybody in the heavy work load they have to keep their organizations running.
This also is a bit of a reminder to our radio hosts.
I am a STAFFER. What I do is think about how we can win and work very hard to come up with ways to break through, like the term “anti-white.”
I have no wish whatever to dominate someone else’s agenda.
All I ask is that they TRY what we come up with. We are asking very, very little, and if all those cries about how it would ruin them turn out to have merit, do what a congressman does with a staffer’s recommendations if they don’t work: drop ‘em.
But I repeat: Good staff work is a gift, not an imposition.

Could it be that we need a “softer” approach when trying to influence existing groups like the Blacks, DD, and Jared? Maybe we need a style that is different when we interact with other pro-Whites, as opposed to how we go after Anti-Whites (hammer and tongs).
I remember seeing some Mantra people go after some AMPWs on a site pretty aggressively. And to be honest, I was sympathetic with the Mantra folks, but I could see it wasn’t working. Until the AMPWS actually GET the Mantra, they tend to be resistant.
My impression is that they don’t quite believe in White Genocide. I could be wrong, but if you believed in it, it seems to me it would be one of your central talking points. I don’t say that accusingly. If they aren’t quite comfortable with aspects of it, then we should get feedback and address their concerns.
Is it really just that it is a hard sell in their minds to others, or do they have doubts about it themselves?

@Jason
BUGSers go in, boots and all!
What I suggest you do, is Show rather than Tell.
When an anti-white invades a pro white blog, hit them hard.
I did this on another pro white blog recently. At first some pro whites came to the anti-white’s rescue and told me not to use the boring mantra, on their white supremacist website.
In reply, I asked them why they were giving aid to the anti-white, when anti-whites use exactly the same psychological warfare tactics on white people.
A few days later, I saw one of those same anti-mantra pro whites, using anti-white on another invading anti-white.
Victory!
I assume this is one of the reasons SWARM exists. Telling people isn’t enough. You have to Show them.
#3 by Jason on 10/19/2012 - 5:54 pm
Good point. DEMONSTRATING that the Mantra works does more good than arguing about it with anti-mantra pro-Whites. I have seen that myself when the ampw’s have to admit it works.
#4 by shari on 10/19/2012 - 11:08 am
Basically, I think people ought to be treated the way they treat you. If an ampw is not rude to you, be direct, but mind your manners. If an anti-white is rude, don’t try to be polite in return, but don’t tailgate. The main thing is that We HAVE THE RIGHT TO SURVIVE, toLIVE.

My impression is that they don’t quite believe in White Genocide…”
Or worse— are subtler part of a White sub-group that has made great gains (moralism and money) by bashing some other Whites. When they’re not on jews in news, you’ll hear a lot of “evil anglo elites,” (um…anglos are White). If you had an all White world –um…lol— you would be hard-pressed NOT to have White elites. Um…in the “wn” world that’s the ONLY elites you COULD have, lol. Therefore, they are anti-white-whites. They seem whites who do not want the jew or anglos to have an area.
If you say this, rather than take the bait and tailgate all day, you are “divisive” and “lack unity.” There are jews, yes, and anglos, yes, and some of them are rich, yeah. Bottom line, though, the Talmud is just a freaking book.
And if people really cared about their survival, they’d read it for hints, trying to find something that WORKS, (for themselves.) Jews have evolved some interesting survival strategies. But who says: maybe WE could USE that?
#6 by Jason on 10/19/2012 - 6:12 pm
Yes, I wasted oceans of time arguing with so-called pro-Whites who hated Americans, English, in fact all sorts of Whites. They wanted to live in the Deep Innards of the Talmud, and were sure every single Jew was taking orders from Central Command.
I don’t think there is ANY way to convert those people. If you talk sense to them, they start thinking YOU are part of the conspiracy against them!

When Taylor did a huffingtonpost debate, he had them curling up in a ball on the defensive when he used the term anti-white to describe their antics.
IT WORKS! In fact it’s rather nice when you don’t have to attempt to Justify the existence of your people but instead force the anti-whites to attempt to justify THEIR views, only to find out they CANT.
That’s the way it SHOULD BE & the opportunity is there for any pro-white who wants to use it
The notion that white genocide is self inflicted or “suicide” is rather silly. Possibly Jim Jones had a vote on whether they should kill themselves at Jonestown, Genocide via a democratic process is still Genocide. The fact is, many didn’t want to kill themselves, but they were force eradicated. Feel free to grab a cup and stand by the punchbowl, im gonna pass

Mr. Taylor and his intellectual cohort are trying to engage in a civil manner with people who are stripping the humanity from whites. Why they never mention this evil before they launch yet another essay is beyond me, perhaps someone may ask them this. Mr. Taylor et al have a blind spot(s).
Ask questions folks, that is the Aryan advantage.

@ Jason: “My impression is that they don’t quite believe in White Genocide”
I agree, but I think that like other whites, once they’ve heard the term a few thousand times they’ll regard it as having always been one of their core beliefs. (I’m exaggerating slightly).
As the term sinks in, posters at Amren, TOO, and SF may shift from throwing their eternal hissy fit to operating from deeper centers of animal survival.

Ha! Very true and good insight into human nature. If we wait for them to say, “you were right, we were wrong”, it will never happen.
#11 by Harumphty Dumpty on 10/19/2012 - 5:35 pm
I had this reply from a poster at TOO yesterday:
@Harumphty Dumpty:
I appreciate what you (and all the other mantra posters) are doing with the mantra, and I know you don’t do it to receive thanks.
You wrote:
“We are looking for a few (hundred) good men and women!”
I don’t know a nice way to put this — the last time I went to the Mantra / BUGS site, I thought it looked cluttered and difficult to navigate.
And I remember seeing another T.O.O. commenter say something similar a couple months ago.
My point is, appearances do matter, and a clean, simple, easy-to-navigate website will attract more mantra posters.
I don’t want to sound ungrateful for that site or the people who created it and maintain it. I’m just trying to offer some constructive criticism.
If it’s not my place, if this comment is not helpful, then please forgive me.

Most Stormfronters on this thread believe Whites won’t become extinct: http://www.stormfront.org/forum/t915396/#post10614886
What good proof is there?

I would like to say thank you to those of you that have purchased a copy of Jack’s War. Sales of my book have picked up a little bit and I would like to think that it is because of your support.
For those of you that do not know, Jack’s War contains the complete Mantra plus a couple of mini-Mantras. The book was written for the general public, especially for those white people that need a bit of an emotional push or are already thinking of coming over to our side. Also, the book is available in Europe & England via Amazon. Use this link to order through Createspace e-books, at this link: https://www.createspace.com/3820778/ – it’s the best place to place your order.

IF you want to see a reason why the Mantra is so important, just look at this campaign from anti-whites in Germany.
Brazen and offensive. And consistent with the Mantra.
So envious and resentful of their identity that they are preaching genocide. They say they’re ‘crap’ in their march slogans–so be sure and believe them.

Jason, I want to PM you, but I don’t know how. Can someone please tell me how we PM each other here.
#16 by Jason on 10/20/2012 - 3:11 am
Well darnit, I used to know how, but I can’t figure it out now. Maybe someone can help us use the PM feature.

I should be there under ‘Jason Here’

AND
I’ve suspected this as well and did see it addressed here before, My gut feeling (and that expressed here, I don’t remember the exact citation) is that it takes a TRUE white supremacist in the worst sense of the word to NOT see White genocide. Those WN’s who are not too frightened by the reality to come out of their denial are comforting themselves with a false sense of security as whites, ie. “we can’t be goneocided, we’re white,” or a variation “they wouldn’t FULLY genocide us, we’re white (too valuable – presumably TO THEM)”
I’m not sure I’ve expressed this as well as I could but this is my general sense of the two camps of supposed pro-whites who cannot or will not see white genocide for what it is.
