Our civilization is in obvious decline. The educational system is
falling apart, and standardized test scores have been falling for
almost three decades, despite record spending. Crime is becoming
pervasive, and citizens in our major metropolitan areas have become
inured to the multiple daily murders, assaults, robberies, and rapes,
and regard them with little surprise. Corruption is rampant in our
government and in business. It is commonplace wisdom that the banks and
Wall Street are full of crooks, and the theft of the depositors' funds
in the S & Ls, by far the largest financial scandal in American
history, hardly made a ripple on the public consciousness. Few would
disagree with the statement that our Congressmen and Senators would
steal anything, except a red hot stove. Social problems get worse and
worse, regardless of what administration is in power. Our cities are
literally crumbling before our eyes.

Pendell. The basic thesis of Pendell is that civilizations fall because
the less capable segment of the population outbreeds the more capable.
Social institutions and ideologies that permit the unfit to survive and
breed at the expense of the healthier segments in any society
eventually bring about the destruction of the society.)
Now
I've pointed out many times on these airwaves the treasonous and
destructive activities of the alien subverters and their Liberal dupes,
which play such a large part in the decline of our nation. And to be
sure, the anti-American forces that control our mass media and dominate
our government are doing their very best to destroy or corrupt what is
left of this country. But there are deep-rooted reasons for the decline
of our nation and civilization, reasons which would be operative even
if we had not been subverted from within, biological reasons which have
caused the decline and eventual death of many civilizations before
ours.
Let me read to you from an ancient Egyptian document. Perhaps the
observations of Ipuwer, a government official during the decline of
Egypt's Old Kingdom, will prove instructive to us late 20th-Century
Americans:
"Forsooth, the land is full of foes. A man goeth to plow carrying
his shield. [Perhaps this will remind you of our burglar alarms, mace,
multiple locks, and flight from the cities that characterize our age.]
"Forsooth, plunderers are everywhere.... The women are barren and
there is no conception.... Plague stalketh through the land and blood
is everywhere. [Think about childless "career women," abortion on
demand, and the rise of homosexuality and AIDS.]
"Forsooth, squalor is throughout the land. There is none whose
clothes are white in these times. [Think of the burgeoning homeless and
their shantytowns in our cities, and the poverty and devastation
following in the wake of the purposeful deindustrialization of
America.]
"Forsooth, men are few. He that layeth his brother in the ground is everywhere....
"Forsooth, great and small say: 'I wish I were dead.' Little
children say: 'He ought never to have caused me to live.' [Think about
the high rates of suicide among our TV-hypnotized and purposeless
teenagers.]
"Forsooth, men sit in the bushes until the benighted cometh, in
order to take from him his load. What is upon him is stolen. He getteth
blows of the stick ... and is slain wrongfully. [Bring to your mind the
drive-by shootings, muggings, and carjackings of our age.]
"Behold, he that had no yoke of oxen, now possesseth droves. He
that could not procure himself oxen for ploughing now possesseth herds.
Behold, they that possessed beds now lie upon the ground. Behold, they
that possessed clothes are now in rags. He that wove nothing for
himself now possesseth fine linen." [This passage reminds me of the
billions in unearned wealth looted from American workers and old-line
American firms by alien manipulators like Michael Milken and Ivan
Boesky and their less-famous kin; who get (I can't say earn) more money
in five seconds than the honest working man earns in decades.]
What happened to Egypt's Old Kingdom is now happening here. And it
has happened again and again throughout history. A strong and creative
people come into the land, build a magnificent civilization, which
blooms brilliantly for a time, like the flowers of May, but then,
inevitably, comes October, and the winter, dissolution, and death of
that civilization.
Scores of books have been written in an attempt to understand this
cycle of birth, growth, decline, and death, which all civilizations
seem heir to.
The Police State Solution
One of the least tolerable by-products of our decline is the great
increase in crime. Police departments that once had six squad cars now
have sixty, yet crime is literally out of control and the decent
citizen is not safe on the streets. Probably six hundred squad cars in
such communities might suffice to return crime levels to their 1960
levels, but who would want to live in an armed camp with policemen
literally on every corner?
Our law enforcement spending is at an all-time high, and the
building of prisons is virtually the only growth industry in our
depressed economy, yet crime is worse than ever, a thousand times worse
than it was even in the memory of your still-under-40 correspondent. We
imprison more criminals as a percentage of the population than even the
old Soviet Union or South Africa, yet are we now safe on our streets?
And we've created a monster with government law enforcers sometimes
out of control, as when the BATF and the FBI killed over a hundred
innocent people at Mount Carmel in Waco, Texas and on a smaller scale
during the siege of Randy Weaver's home. Do we really want to continue
in this direction? Do we really want to live in a country with the
citizens disarmed, secret police everywhere, total government
surveillance of our lives, and liberty a thing of the past? Where is
this path taking us, anyway?
The Eugenic Solution
Other nations have followed that path, the path of increasing force
and multiplying laws and public expenditures, and it has never stopped
the decline and fall of any nation.
But the civilizations of the past did not have the scientific
knowledge of ourselves, of our biological nature, which we now have.
Since the discoveries of Charles Darwin and Gregor Mendel, who showed
us the processes by which we, along with all other life forms on this
planet have evolved our special characteristics and how we pass them on
to our descendants; we now have a key which can break the cycle of
decline and death which now has us in its grips.
This key is called eugenics. Put in its very simplest form, the
concept is this: Civilizations decline and fall largely because
civilization itself, through its shielding of the less fit, puts an end
to the natural selection which caused us to evolve in the first place.
The less intelligent and the less fit half of any population nearly
always have more offspring than the other half. Shielded from the harsh
forces of nature by civilization, these offspring nearly all survive.
The process continues for generations, and with each one the less
intelligent, less creative, and less capable become a larger percentage
of the population. After a time, the quality of the people themselves
declines to the point where they can no longer maintain the
civilization their ancestors founded. Then comes the end, either by
invasion and conquest by a healthier race, or by the inability of the
dumbed-down descendants to plan for the future or deal with a crisis.
In every once-great nation that is now dust and bones, this process took place. It is obviously happening to us right now.
Eugenics, or racial hygiene, says that we can so arrange our
society so as to reverse this degenerative process, so that the best
elements of our population will have the most children; and so that
each succeeding generation will be stronger, healthier, more
intelligent, more creative, and better able to solve problems than the
one before. A great man once said that there is no substitute for
honorable men. Another way of saying that is that there is no
substitute for good qualities in our people. If our people lack the
necessary qualities, we will not survive, and by the just laws of
nature we should not survive. Eugenics allows us to choose what
qualities and characteristics should be passed on to future
generations, and which should not be passed on. We desperately to solve
our social problems. More laws and more prisons aren't going to solve
them. And "restoring the Constitution" isn't going to solve them,
either. Only better people can. Only through eugenics can we solve
these seemingly intractable problems. Only through eugenics can we
achieve the world of beauty, order, knowledge and freedom that we long
for. Eugenics is, quite literally, the only answer. But the "Liberal"
power structure will do everything possible to hide this truth, because
it would mean the end of the Lie of Equality on which that power
structure is based.
Evolution Made Man Great, Brought Civilization and Altruism
Nature herself practices eugenics. Everyone who is listening to
this program, and indeed every living being upon the Earth, is the
descendant of a long line of successes. All of your ancestors, even
going back to the most dim recesses of time, managed to survive long
enough to leave offspring. But those that didn't have what it takes to
survive and engender a next generation, left no descendants, and their
genes did not contribute to your - or anyone else's - ancestry.
Conditions for our human ancestors before the dawn of civilization
were very harsh. We of European descent are literally the children of
the ice. It is virtually certain that a great many prehistoric men and
women were unable to survive the endless winters of Ice Age Europe. The
slothful and the lazy could not survive. The stupid and the thoughtless
could not survive. Those unable to master such cerebral functions as
planning for the coming winter could not survive. The seriously
deformed and the insane surely could not survive. A great winnowing
took place, with only those with the very best characteristics for
survival able to pass on their genes to the next generation.
Now it is a truism that individuals are unequal. In any population,
there will be a certain range of ability and intelligence. Nature adds
to this inequality in genetic endowment by occasional mutations, or
random changes in the genetic patterns of some individuals. It is also
a fact, observable in every human society past and present, that the
least able and intelligent half of the population have more children
than the more intelligent half. This is true for a number of reasons,
among them the fact that the more intelligent a person is, the more
likely he is to have many interests and occupations for his time, which
take away from his ability and desire to raise a large family. A person
of higher intelligence is also less likely to be ruled by his passions,
and is more apt to consider carefully the consequences his sexual
impulses. The intelligent are more sensitive to quality of life, and
hence are often loathe to bring more children into the world
thoughtlessly. Having a higher standard for sexual partners can lead to
having fewer of them. And knowledge of and willingness to use
contraceptive measures is notably lacking in the less intelligent
today; and I think we can assume that similar factors have operated for
many millennia. The less intelligent simply have more babies.
Now, before the advent of civilization, this did not cause a
problem, since the less fit were killed off by the ravages of nature at
a greater rate than the fit, and slowly the quality of the population
increased since a greater number of those who survived and successfully
reproduced came from the "top half" of the population.
One characteristic that was necessary for the survival of our
prehistoric ancestors was altruism, or the willingness to sacrifice our
individual desires for the good of the group. Without such social
cooperation, our ancestors would have easily succumbed to competing
tribes, predators, and severe weather conditions. Our ancestors were
selectively bred for many generations for this quality of altruism,
which manifests itself as our love for our family, our tribe, our
nation; and as our desire to protect these, our loved ones, from all
harm.
Eventually, human beings of a higher type emerged, and they began to develop civilizations.
Civilization Plus Altruism Brings Devolution
As the increasing scale and organization of human activity, along
with the division of labor, made human action more efficient and
effective, man was able to protect himself to a much greater extent
from starvation, severe weather, marauding tribes, etc. His inbred
spirit of altruism, often elaborated into a religious and moral system,
made him extend this protection to nearly all members of society.
But, just as before, and just as now, the less intelligent and the
less fit 50% of the population continued to have more than 50% of the
babies. Only under civilized conditions, nearly all the babies survived
to adulthood, protected by society's loving and compassionate arms. The
stupidest and least responsible elements of the population, those least
able to pull their own weight and least able to bring effective
solutions to problems, began to contribute a growing percentage to the
gene pool of that civilization. The process of devolution, the
dumbing-down of the population, had begun.
This process can proceed quite far before it is generally noticed,
if it ever is. For even as the general intelligence begins to decline,
there are still enough superior people to keep society productive and
even creative for a time, and the accumulation of knowledge continues
long after the intelligence curve has fallen, and this adds to
society's ability to carry the unproductive along for the ride. By the
time the society has obviously begun to decline, the stage at which we
find ourselves, the dumbing-down process is far advanced.
In our case, we have exacerbated the problem; by positively
rewarding the reproduction of the unfit, through our social welfare
system; by penalizing the productive and intelligent for their success,
and devoting a greater and greater percentage of our precious labor and
resources to a futile attempt to make the inferior "equal." We are
accelerating the process of genetic decline also by the importation and
acceptance of inferior stocks into our gene pool. Many of these things
are done in the name of "justice" and "compassion." But those who
promote the pernicious doctrine of "equality" are doing incalculable
harm to future generations as they attempt to alleviate the temporary
pains of the present.
The Cycle Can Be Broken
How can this cycle be broken? It can only be broken so by so
arranging our society so that the normal, and the best and the
brightest among us have the most children, and those unfortunates who
cannot or will not pull their own weight, the habitual criminals and
the mentally defective, have the least. This would be the essence of
true compassion for future generations of our people. This would be the
opening of a doorway down an entirely new pathway of progress, beauty,
scientific discovery, technological achievement, prosperity, and peace
such as has never been seen before on this planet. This would be the
greatest gift that we could ever give our children and grandchildren.
The gift of a better world. That's not an empty phrase to us - we
really mean it. A world of excellence, a world made better by the
better men and women who will inhabit it. Because we now have the
knowledge to create that world, it is our responsibility to bring it
into being.
