The Forty-Niners - G. Harvey
After many and long attempts to analyze complex problems by the aid of the method of analogies, you feel the uselessness of all your efforts; you feel that you are walking alongside a wall. And then you begin to experience simply a hatred and aversion for analogies, and you find it necessary to search in the direct way which leads you where you need to go.
-P.D. Ouspensky, Tertium Organum, pp.68
White Americans generally do not utilize the innate legendary potential of their historical experience to its fullest. They should. The epic material is available in spades. We love heroes and have many great examples of our own which might inspire us to dare the extraordinary, despite any odds. In fact, all that is left for this generation and the next is the conscious assumption of the mantle and the active realization of the native mythos…or not. Failure to do so is optional and will eventually result in our racial dissolution and displacement. No more bad men behind blue eyes. But why go there when we don’t have to? The Irresistible Forces cannot continue their onslaught if they encounter an Immoveable Body. The buck stops here.
MLK: Hero of the Eastern Establishment
Before we can amplify, however, there must be some cleavage. There are two essential versions of the American story which, while on the surface may seem similar, in fact do not quite line up with the vanilla platforms of the primary political parties and the color-coded delineation of Red State/Blue State America, though these divisions are useful for general purposes and at a certain distance. Of course, these are broad strokes which are underscored by perennial injections of a youthful revolutionary zeal that tends to defy all attempts at categorization as well as a recognized trait in the White American character towards radical maverick individualism which challenges any comfortable establishment or bullying mentality and always loves an underdog.
This version has deftly grafted itself onto some of the Enlightenment rhetoric of Jefferson’s Declaration of Independence and to the Northern victory in the Civil War and the subsequent de jure transformation of the Constitution, paving the way for the Civil Rights Movement, immigration reform, and centralization of power that we saw in the 20th century. Its vision of the American hero is summed up in the figure of Martin Luther King, Jr. Barack Obama represents latter day incarnation of this heroic mold and fully symbolizes the manifestation of the “bottom rung on top” subversive mentality of the Modern world triumphant.
This is Neo-Marxist America which has as its zenith (despite what any “liberal” theorists including Mr. Obama might argue) the elevation of the state of Israel and the concomitant fusion of Communism and Capitalism, active in a network of cosmopolitan satellites. This side currently rules in Washington D.C. Its cultural capital is New York City. The symbol of its financial strength is the Federal Reserve and Wall Street. It has an unmistakably Jewish spirit. Commonly referred to through the years as the “Eastern Establishment,” it is operative and predominant to a large degree in both political parties as well as in the hearts and minds of many who consider themselves conservative.
A fairly large sized portion of the congregation on this side honestly believes that it has endorsed a badly needed revolution against an age-old “racist” White supremacy whose remaining vestige can be perceived in the fear-mongering of the Republican Party and its successful “Southern strategy,” flanked by the fundamentalism of the Christian Right and the “ignorance” of the White working classes. This portion of the Left is deceived. The edifice of the Eastern Establishment is based upon many lies. But it has Power, for now.
Now, I could leave it there and just say that it is this Eastern Establishment versus the Rest of the West and I wouldn’t be too far off the mark. And it might be wise to be somewhat vague because, within the Rest of the West, there are many elements which, on the surface, apparently contradict one another. If we look too deeply into the crystal ball we might come up with some discrepancies that may cause further division. However, the discussion might also bring about a basis for a higher synthesis.
On the other side is the more common sense-driven conservative—traditional—decentralized—multifaceted-populist—rough-around-the-edges—regional—patriarchal—agrarian—religious—tribal—organically land-attached genuinely patriotic folk intelligence which traces the westward settlement of the American frontier as the identifying locus of its expansion and model for its characteristic ingredients and which can be summed up in the rugged individualism and independence of the White pioneer.
The Rest of the West
This side more or less recognizes the de facto reality of racial differences based on their own experience and observation (rather than preconceived ideological assumption). This was originally symbolized by the “gentleman’s agreement of 1876” between Northern and Southern Whites, marking the real conclusion of the Civil War. Its vision of the American hero is George Washington. While it has powerful European antecedents, it represents something distinctive and new on the world stage: a hitherto unparalleled fusion of all of the principal European nationalities.
The Rest of the West is comfortable in the company of the Founders: liberty understood within the confines of a generally accepted and binding social contract (the Constitution) facilitating a real meritocracy. It arguably encompasses the broadest cross-section of the heritage of the 223.6 million White Americans which, as of the 2010 census reports, make up 72% of the American population, although a considerable portion of this percentage gives its support to the ideological Left. Currently, this side is forced to do the bidding of the other due to its lack of control of the centers of power—the media, academia, finance and politics, though it persistently bucks at the direction in which the ruling regime is taking the country.
A significant part of this group believes that it is beleaguered domestically by multiculturalism on all sides and that its sole foreign ally in the world is Israel. It views Israel’s dispute with the Palestinians and the other large Muslim blocs in the Middle East, through the biased filter of the mainstream media, operated predominantly by Jewish apologists. This portion of the Right is deceived and would do well to distance itself from both the Jews and Muslims at the group level. This side is not in Power. But it has the Truth and the rebuke of History in its favor as well as a sheer mass which, if ever properly directed, could easily smash the usurpers.
Texas Rangers
For the most part, this “heartland” alliance can trace a certain biologic galvanization of its lineage on this continent back into at least the 19th century. Some allowance can be given to all of those latter day immigrants (individual Jews included) who assimilated and readily identified with the more native White group’s metaphysical dream of itself which can be summed up in the twin concepts of “self-reliance” and “the best shall rule.” For all purposes, this is the real America, whether it admits to it or not. And it had come into its own before certain immigration strategies were adopted for reasons other than enhancing the virility of the host body politic. Again, the real America is predominantly a White America (the group that conquered the continent) that has as yet still been unable to consciously recognize itself as such, at least on a viable political front outside of the Old South.
Consistently, certain other ethnicities enlisted by the ideological Left get involved in defining themselves in opposition to and agitating against Whites on the basis of real or imagined previous grievances. They are encouraged and financed from a variety of intelligence sectors to activate as beleaguered ethnicities with distinctive identities worth preserving at the cost of dethroning Whites from center stage. For this reason, there is little hope for their peaceful assimilation or co-habitation. They unconsciously promote a hostile zero-sum game because they are encouraged not to accept simultaneous reactive White efforts to defend White interests or celebrate distinctively White achievements, even in a peaceful manner. They perceive the entire attempt of self-identification on the part of Whites as illegitimate. There are a number of “watchdog” organizations like the ADL and the SPLC that go so far as to pathologize any expression of White identity as dangerous and extremist behavior.
The American type that these minorities represent is a self-acknowledged outsider, a hopelessly divided mulatto mess of contradictions when operating at a political level, speaking a language not its own and enjoying implements, tools, weapons and gadgets also largely invented by the White group that it resents so much. The presence on the Left of this degenerative element has destroyed its future legitimacy for genuine reform in any conceivably positive way in the United States.
The healthy continuation of a viable legacy on the continent, therefore, depends upon a pronounced identification with a genetically clear vision of the type emerging from a more or less ideologically Right and White side, and then on whether or not this type will decide to fight the conglomerated Frankenstein in its path, taking the country back ‘by hook or crook,’ or concede more ground as it has been doing for the past half-century, consigning itself to certain oblivion.
I should say that this may be a temporary “corrective” focus because there is a place for a forward looking progressivism within the White community, especially as we consider the example of Southern populism. However, as our lexicon is currently constituted, we associate the Left side of things with measures aimed at diluting or destroying the White race. The thrust is always towards amalgamation with absolutely no principled eugenic angle. It is based on the lie that the races are completely interchangeable. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Thus, Conservatism becomes directly related to realistic biological considerations of self-preservation and, therefore, trumps all other considerations. But it will be a Conservatism that actively overturns the status quo. This is what was meant by M.E. Bradford’s formula, the Reactionary Imperative.
Historical Monument of the American Republic – E.S. Field
The task ahead, as I see it, ultimately lies in reconnecting an authentic White American intelligentsia to its folk. This is a big project and has many different angles. Science has already verified the hunch of common sense regarding the reality of racial differences, but its ability to persuade at emotive levels has always been decidedly poor. The key for our leaders is to find the currently dry ancestral channels stretching into the deepest recesses of the collective imagination and to “release the flow.” There must be a reaching back into the record of our traditions to a point where we can speak with more clarity and authority and then a reflecting forward of inspirational imagery facilitating action without coercion. But how is this to be done?
One answer lies in the postmodern process of cultural excavation, the reexamination of older texts, the creation of new aesthetic artifacts, and more generally, through accessing a different type of knowledge than that which the scientific method affords. Properly regarded, science delivers us from illusions. It gives us “facts” which are based on “truths,” which ultimately ought to deliver us from certain primitive superstitions, thereby enhancing our knowledge of the material world. The inner world, however, involves a different dynamic. Let’s call it the Bardic Dynamic.
The Bard – Thomas Jones
In Understanding Poetry, which, from its initial publication date in 1938 through the end of the 60s was a standard text in English departments of liberal arts colleges and state universities across the country (Ivy Leagues included), eminent southern scholars Robert Penn Warren and Cleanth Brooks defended the art of poetry by asserting that it answered needs that science could not:
The advantages of a scientific statement are not to be had without the limitations of a scientific statement also. The primary advantage of the scientific statement is that of absolute precision. But we must remember that such precision is possible only in relation to certain materials and can be gained only by using terms in special and previously defined senses. The scientist carefully cuts away from his technical terms all associations, emotional colorings, and implications of attitude and judgment. Science tends, indeed, toward the condition of mathematics, and the really exact scientific statements can be expressed in mathematical formulae.
The language of science represents an extreme degree of specialization of language in the direction of a certain kind of precision [i.e. water = H2O]. It is unnecessary, of course, to point out that in this specialization tremendous advantages inhere, and that the man of the twentieth century is rightly proud of this achievement. But it is more often necessary to point out that scientific precision can be brought to bear only on certain kinds of materials. Literature in general — poetry in particular — also represents a specialization of language for the purpose of precision; but it aims at treating kinds of materials different from those of science…[i.e. water = the liquid from which the goddess Aphrodite rose].”
While science is interested in charting quantifiable phenomena, poetry (as well as a host of other related artistic disciplines) is concerned with qualitative human values, the creative faculty, the ingredients of character, dramatic motion, and with the scientist himself, as an existential creature striving through an ever-deepening contingent mystery that he is unable to fully fathom. It is concerned with the style of personality, and when regarded as such, can be seen as a rich reservoir containing superior reference points leading to the resuscitation of powerful older types.
Science ostensibly focuses on the rational function to investigate the world, determine causes and effects, and to the application of the human will to solve problems. Poetry seeks to understand the human condition in its totality and to effect the full integration and animation of the person. Both disciplines are aimed at arriving at certain irreducible statements but they involve different categories that must not be confused. Science convinces with logical demonstration, poetry with the presentation of an aesthetically magnetic cinematic moment. Warren and Brooks suggest that Science, as Bertrand Russell asserted, is “power knowledge.” The Bardic Dynamic, on the contrary, is perhaps best summed up by Donald Davidson’s statement that “All that is substance in us longs for the ancestral beauty.”
There is a realm in which certain fictional amplifications elevate human sentiments and capacities for achieving incredible feats and deepening consciousness. This is the sphere in which Romance and Tragedy in the highest sense, properly belong. This type of “positive illusion” knowledge concerns the soul and the personality at both the individual and group level and is embodied in the artistic imagination and religious impulse, both of which revolve around the memory function and in the manifestation of a “light body.” History and its mythic/literary recombination serve as powerful reinforcements of this body and as pointers to the mysterious and uncharted territory of the human psyche and to its unlimited potential.
Dreams are the commodities of the Information Age. The contemporary frontier is not physical. It is an interior space where the self is reflected in an invisible wilderness against a double generated by mass media projectors and an academic intelligentsia guarding the gate against the onslaught of younger generations who have not yet been programmed. War is no longer on an actual battlefield. Violent conflict is secondary. The real fight is in the mind. It is perceptual. But it is no less significant. And decentralizing phenomena like the internet, cable, and general access to plural unregulated information sources, are beginning to even up the score through a massive distribution of audiovisual artillery, facilitating the revelation of Truth against Power, which will continue to be the battle cry of the Rest of the West as it overcomes everything in its path. Hop on now, while you still can.
Facing the Future as a Minority
It’s very tempting to live in ones’ self-denial’. Historically, the United State is build on others’ land as is Jewish Israel. Te americans’ nature is beautifully defined by a White American writer, John Kaminski, who wrote last week: “Americans make false promises to the world, which, in their own desperate hopes the world accepts at face value. These promises never come true, as with the treaties with the Indians. Every single one was broken”.
It’s totally wrong to compare Rev. Martin Luther with Barack Obama. They even don’t share a common ‘color bar’. Luther was a 101% Afro-American while is 51% White American. Luther said “I have a dream”; and Obama said “I can do wonders for the Jews”.
http://rehmat1.wordpress.com/2011/08/29/martin-luther-king-and-his-shattered-dream/
Because I refuse to type my comments into a 1/2 inch space, this will be my last comment. I have enjoyed OOB, but since I can see only 2 lines of my comments I will have to stop commenting.
Why can one only make the first comment? Once just 1 comment has been made the make a comment box totally disappears.
Why do only 10 comments show up, the same comments by the way after one clicks “show all” in the side box and
“show all comments” under the article?
This strange comment procedure needs to be junked. The old one worked perfectly well.
@Mari: Agree. It’s become a PITA to get to the comments.
@Rehmat:
Rehmat: It’s very tempting to live in ones’ self-denial’.
Ironic words, considering that your home country of Pakistan was, before the partition when the British left, one quarter Hindu. Through a brutal campaign of murders and terror, almost the entire population was forced to flee to India, leaving a mere 1% of Pakistan’s population as Hindu. Many historic Hindu temples and religious centers were destroyed. The remaining Pakistani Hindus live in great fear and are forced to keep an extremely low profile.
Meanwhile, Muslims in Indian Kashmir are continuing this policy, and by murdering many Hindu women, children and men have driven about three hundred thousand Hindus to flee to refugee camps, which when I brought this up in response to your blog article on Kashmir, you made clear you are in approval .
At one point in this blog you claimed that Bangladesh was an example of a country that Islam came to without war, when in fact a large percentage of the Hindu population was forced out at the time of partition and those remaining are severely oppressed.
And you accuse people on this blog of self-denial!
@Mari:
I use Firefox on Windows7 and have a large space to type comments in. It might just be your browser. Plus, I usually type my comments in Open Office (the open source free version of MS Word) for spell checking and then paste it into the comment box — that would also solve your small comment box situation.
@thm:
How PITY – Muslims of India always rejected the partition of British occupied Palestine to accommodate Europe’s unwanted Jews. Surprisingly, even Gandhi who kept a Jew and Jewish woman as his ‘sexpot’ – had said: “Frence for the French, England for the English and Palestine for the Arabs”.

Rehmat: There is ample evidence, found in skeletal remains, that whites predated the “North American Indians” on this continent. The whites were slaughtered and the women absorbed into the invaders. Mitochondrial DNA testing has found pre-historic links between eastern NA tribes and post ice age remains found in southern France/Northern Spain. Whites, in the past 1,000 or so years, are only reclaiming the land they once occupied.
Sir Tristram: I agree with your assessment of the educational system as it pertains to ignoring European literature and the basics of language (English) as it pertains to grammar, syntax, and vocabulary. Todays youth do not study Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales as I did, they learn haiku. They are missing, not only the humour of the story, but the rich use of allegory through the poem. Beowolf in translation, (not at all like the trashy movie) is spell binding in its own right, as is Eddic poetry, such as Hávamál, Völuspá, and the sagas.
As I have posted before, the terms liberal, left, Democrat and conservative, right, Republican are meaningless in this debate. A true conservative seeks to conserve. True conservatives are as plentiful as hen’s teeth. Your conservatives may regard George Washington as a hero, but it is the mythical Washington, not the Washington that gained weight while his troops were near starvation. The “lefty” Lincoln wanted to send all the blacks back to Africa. “Conservatives” support market driven economies which crushes the average citizen through unbridled immigration by driving down wages and inflating property and food prices. After all, the immigrants have to live somewhere and eat. Conservatives also support “free trade”, which is a different way of saying I’m sending your job to a foreign country. If George Wallace was correct (and he was), in 1972, saying there’s not a dime’s worth of difference between a Republican and a Democrat, then the difference today is a fraction of a cent, regardless of inflation. The fact is that in virtually all “democracies”, there is no difference. In the US you have a Republocrat party run by big money interests. Like the big casino on Wall Street, the “house” holds all of the cards – the odds of them losing are miniscule.
“Conservatives” and “Republicans” want small government, and no intervention. The irony is that government intervention is needed for the people to regain control. Other than a revolution, the most logical way would be through electoral reform. If the government passed legislation that:
banned computerized vote counting systems;
required each person running for office to collect signatures of 1% of the eligible voters in the electoral district in order to be eligible to run;
gave each candidate in the electoral district a set amount of money to run his/her campaign; and,
banned all other use of funds, whether personal or raised by donation, for use in the campaign,
the chosenites would lose their leverage in buying elections. Additionally, the candidates would be forced to meet with voters face to face to discuss issues. In short, the public would have a chance to test its collective, and individual, bullshit detector. Those seeking re-election would have to defend publicly the voting record.
Donations to political parties should be non tax deductible, and political parties should be banned from campaigning. TV commercials would be too expensive for individual candidates in this scenario. If the above were done, you might get your country back, and I might get mine back. Political labels may actually have some meaning.
The chance of the above happening, of course, is that of a snowball’s chance in Hell.
This new comment section is terrible. I don’t even bother to read comments anylonger.
It only shows two lines, there is no way I will continue to read comments anylonger. Why not change it back to how it was before???
To those above who have offered observations on the comment section, some of these problems are being caused by your browser. In the composition field on my computer I am able to see four lines at once. If this seems limiting you must do what I have done, here and at similar sites, and that is, compose my message in Word or Open Office, including html symbols, spell check, etc. until it is perfect. Then copy and paste this into the comment field for this site. No problem.
I do find that, even so, one is often tempted to begin fumbling around again with the text, rather than going back to Word to make changes. This almost invariably results in goof-ups.
So the final word is, do your ENTIRE composition in Word or Open office, and only when it is completed to your satisfaction (including html) copy and paste your text into the comment field. In other words – RETRAIN. There’s no other way around it and it will always work.
HOWEVER, this very excellent website definitely needs a PREVIEW option before the SUBMIT process, like that we find at Salon.com. Because even typing in Word we can still make bobbles, and without the PREVIEW option they are often overlooked and impossible to correct.
But we must understand the expense of web design. If one is not, himself, a computer whiz it’s very costly to bring a site to perfection. This takes time, trial and error, etc. I know this from personal experience.
TOO is a ravishing website, make no mistake about it. Witness the current article, which is superb. This site will not be excelled, so do what’s necessary to hang in there. Don’t cheat yourself by withdrawing. Maybe, just drop the Prof. an email requesting a PREVIEW option as soon as it is convenient. Good luck.
If, on the basis of these remarks, you realize you need another browser, or perhaps to reset the text size on your computer, then take care of that. But don’t give up and leave by any means. I enjoy the high quality of comments here fully as much as I enjoy the articles, or more. The articles are needed, to invite personal expression.
@Connor Dirk;
Good suggestions regarding comments, and the excellence of this site. I might add that none of this would be a problem if you were browsing on Safari on a Mac! Lose the MS machine and zero headaches! :)
@Sir Tristram
This exhortation is brilliant! Easily the best summation of the current position of European Americans I have read, or would hope to read. And such deft articulation, straight-ahead confidence and hypnotic spirit! How I wish I had written this.
Surely you must be in lettres, as is said in the classroom. The rationale you have used, based on the history of our people, and the American culture, is right on the mark – and as such, poignant, refreshing and gratifying.
The entire composition is so well-aligned with truth (a commodity we rarely encounter,) that we are actually surprised to see another American “get it all together” and lay it out there. And to no-one’s surprise, the visuals are perfect, and persuasive.
The section on poetry becomes a bit abstruse, and slows down the drive to conclusion. It lacks the racy clarity of the preceding text. I would give this more thought, hone your expression of the concept, and bring these lines into conformity with the astonishing, crystal clear progression of thought which we experience in the first three-quarters of the essay. Thanks to your analysis, the poetry/sentiment factor can be understood as the catalyst which is needed. That is to say, we must get back in touch with the soul of this Republic, the spiritual essence at the heart of our identity as Americans, and on the basis of this inspiration, shed the mundane restraints impeding us, and re-take our country.
Also – and I would not challenge you in this regard if I did not know you are well able to rise to the occasion – exercise your mind to come up with specific scenarios which may be developed to accomplish the end you have in mind. That is not to say that one person possesses the amplitude to cover all aspects of a problem, but you might. In a natural and spontaneous way you have shared the particular gifts you possess to arouse your countrymen to their duty…to the re-invigoration of the American spirit within them. And for this we are deeply grateful. Nevertheless, if in your musings your have entertained visions of practical measures appropriate for the implementation of these ideas, we would be interested to learn of them.
Once again, our gratitude for this lovely and rousing display of brilliance and generosity.
What I did not understand was the 72% white what the text says. Including Hispanic whites is also right? I know they exist, obviously, because I am one of them. But from what I’ve read the census Brazilianized ”is” the racial self-identification became the primary means of classification. I read that more than half of Mexicans say they are white according to the U.S. Census. Taking into account that in Mexico the whites are 9% to 20% of the population and are super repesentados the elite and upper classes in the other it is impossible that more than half of a mass of millions of poor Mexicans are of really white.
n my opinion the white native Americans, who have at least one grandparent born in a country which has European ancestry is predominantly less than 60% for Indians and Middle Easterners are also counted as non-Hispanic whites because of their biological condition. Therefore, the Euro-American non-Hispanics to be 58% of the population.
Now, among the white Hispanics, white is relatively complicated set here in the southern countries of the continent. It is not as simple as they imagine. Here in Brazil was the bleaching process of the population, resulting in the relative numerical dominance of pure white and white mixed race and I am one of them.
I really do not understand how you define white because there is a history of racial”pass”in a survey I read that 30% of white Americans have mixed blood, I read that in other numbers as low as 2% has.
In the United States because of North European heritage is much easier to identify a wasp white, at least have the skin color or very light hairlines, just for starters.
I see a site of anthropology on the peoples of Europe and many Europeans I have seen were identified as mixed race here in Brazil, at least by the elite and the educated middle class white.
From a UK perspective, I’m not too sure about ‘Conservatism’ as a slogan. The slogan doesn’t tell us what to conserve, for that you require principle. Historically, Edmund Burke’s Reflections on the Revolution in France (1790) is basically a Catholic polemic against the Enlightenment and has little to say to the USA on immigration. Perhaps it is better on poetry, or as poetry, though I doubt it. Conservatism is all very when you are winning, as it encourages deference to the powers that be. But we are losing!
“New aesthetic artifacts” is an interesting concept. Old ones can be interesting, too. At least to me. For instance, in the Texas Ranger portrait, the center figure in the back row is my great-great uncle, Charles Fusselman, who was killed in a shoot-out with Mexican horse thieves near El Paso in 1890. Fusselman is an example of the “fusion of the principal European peoples” the author speaks of, having German, English, and French Huguenot ancestry.
@Sean Grant: Sean, Mari,
I’ve noticed that the comments section works with Internet Explorer 8 (version: 8.0.6001), but not with Internet Explorer 7 (version: 7.0.6002).

I think the article is arguing for the value of poetic myth in promoting a cohesive collective identity for whites, which is all to the good. However, we should not beat ourselves up too much; the reason that the majority don’t buy into the reality of white ethnic interests at present is (IMO) primarily because they don’t think the personal costs of identifying as ‘white’ make it worthwhile. It is, and will continue to be, very difficult to get people to think they’re in need of help from their fellow whites unless there is a palpable sense that danger is imminent.
When people perceive themselves as being under threat then they will automatically strengthen their commitment to sources of aid such as family or community. So the way appeals to white solidarity are phrased is important, but the key ingredient for political progress among whites is the course of events, and white awareness of the actual situation they are in.
United States was established as world’s first Masonic state. Many of US official buildings and national symbols are Jewish or Masonic. Not only the Wall Street and the Reseve Bank are Jewish but currently, Congress, Senate, Supreme Court, DHS, DOD, media and CIA is either controlled by Jews or by pro-Israel Zionist Christians.
You don’t believe me! Listen to Jewish Seymour Hersh….who says that 8-9 Zioncon Jews control US foreign policy.

@Mari:
MARI USE GOOGLE CHROME INSTEAD OF INTERNET EXPLORER!! I used to have the same problem and now have to view TOO strictly on google chrome or NO ACCESS TO COMMEnts… FUNNY HOW I POSTED THE SAME COMMENT AS MARI but received zero feedback. Hey Mari, at least you received an answer to your question.
@Gregor: Thanks for the comment. I followed your name to other posts you have written, and was particularly struck by your remarks about the model of a networked diaspora of “cells.” This is excellent analysis and corresponds to my concept of the Jehova Hoax, whereby the Jewish people are bilked by corrupt Rabbis using “religion” to lead a do-nothing life of “study.” While Kevin MacDonald calls Jewish history a strategy for survival, I’m more inclined to see it as a continuing racket of Rabbinical exploitation.
Inspiring writing. Thank you to the author.
This is a profoundly important essay that needs wide distribution. He lays out the essential plan.
Unfortunately, it is written at such a high level that only those paleo-conservative traditionalists like us who are steeped in the Southern Agrarianism of Davidson, Bradford, and Weaver would be familiar enough with the language and concepts to receive the message and feel the resonance. Please consider a shorter, more compact version that can speak to a wider audience. Imitate the simplicity of MacDonald.
The misquotation of Davidson is problematic error. You are obviously well-read, but how did you get that one wrong? It is a AE (Russell) quotation from The Interpreters, 1922, online. Davidson would approve of the idea, but he didn’t say it. Did you see it attributed to him, and just carry it forward? What was your source?
Even though we don’t get paid for our RR-WN work, we must strive for total accuracy, given what is at stake.
Otherwise, please keep up the good work and do more. What are Sir Tristan daily Internet must reads and his essential book reading list?
“decentralizing phenomena like the internet, cable, and general access to plural unregulated information sources, are beginning to even up the score”
So very true. Ultimately, in an environment where media and culture can no longer be controlled, the Jewish elite will inevitably be undermined. It will take time but it is happening.
This is why it is so important for racially-aware whites to point their sleeping co-ethnics gently but persuasively towards sites such as TOO which can do the heavy lifting in gradually deprogramming and liberating their consciousness.
The Southern Point has significance beyond the Southern States. I’m way northwest of that area as a 62 year resident of Montana. As an Ancestralist, I had searcheded and found the sources of the pioneer homesteaders in my family who had settled here to survive with courage and advance with prosperity well into current times. This was indeed “A Bardic Dynamic” As descendants of Europeans it was apparent after some research that the basic attitudes and supportive lore could be found in literary works like The Poetic Edda of the Norse and the epic Beowulf of the English.
It seemed to me there must be another American area with a body of work that would be a continuation of European White heritage. The groups in Europe that were recovering the Elder Ways as a political and cultural construct seemed dismissive of the American world as a lost cause. It did not seem to me that my people were a lost cause. Then I read excerpts from a Donald Davidson poem, “The Tall Men” that Sir Tristram had introduce to me and further elucidations on resources of Southern literary works. This resonated totally with my Montana people and their White heritage. The Fugitive school of Vanderbilt and their combined work, “I’ll Take My Stand” further showed there were educated people who would not be intimidated by the standard Leftist curriculums of public education.
I am appreciative that Sir Tristram has introduced me to great minds of White Tradition like Donald Davidson, John C. Calhoun, and Richard M. Weaver. My favorite paragraph of Sir Tristram’s latest installment of this series begins with “The task ahead, as I see it, ultimately lies in reconnecting an authentic White American intelligentsia to its folk.” It has been done before and it will be it will be accomplished again. We
are remembering who we are and choosing to act with that awareness.
@awake arise or forever be fallen:
You’re right. Sorta. It was an honest mistake. Davidson actually does say it in Chapter 17 of Attack on Leviathan, “The Shape of Things and Men.” I wouldn’t have made the assertion had I not read it there.
Davidson was using the line to further clarify the preferred technique of the Immovable Body. Indeed, he was quoting Russell’s The Interpreters and I wasn’t aware of that until I rechecked after reading your post.
However, he elaborates by reframing Russell’s language to polarize a conflict between poets and men of the modern power state. The quote is actually, “All that is substance in us aspires to the ancestral beauty.” Davidson argues that this is the way of the poet. The men of the modern power state, on the contrary, say “All that is power in us desires to become invincible.” This reminded me of the passage in Understanding Poetry where Warren quotes Bertrand Russell, regarding “power knowledge.”
I don’t have the book on me, just some old notebooks and paraphrased comments. I’m also not writing so much for an academy as for the guy on the streets who has enough wherewithal to study on his own and follow some important threads.
While you make a legitimate criticism, it doesn’t change the validity of the comparison or the fact that I came to the idea through Davidson’s interpretation. His method of creative analysis provides a completely unique perspective on the line.
But I stand corrected. Thank you. And for your kind words, too.
@Mari: I use the Opera browser, Mari, and with it the TOO comment section appears just fine. Opera is low on fancy add-ons, and so it doesn’t produce an image anywhere near as pretty as the one IE8 or IE9 yields. Since its RAM demands are minuscule compared with those of those other browsers, however, it opens up and goes from screen to screen much more quickly than they do. When you have a cranky and overburdened six-year-old computer, as I do, every meg of RAM saved is precious.
Please give it a try before dropping out entirely.
@Connor Dirk: Thank you so much for these gratifying comments. Sometimes it feels like we are all so alienated and in a void and it is a great feeling to make a connection with someone. Much food for thought here. Cheers!
@Lancashire lad: That’s why I qualified it as a conservatism that is trained on 1) preserving the biological integrity of the white race and 2) overturning the status quo because of its thrust in the opposite degenerative direction. I think M.E. Bradford’s formula, the reactionary imperative, is applicable.
