HISTORY
Overview After making an accurate diagnosis, our task is then
to identify strategies for ourselves and the people we can influence
or join forces with in our local communities. Hopefully we can learn
how to lead more sane, healthy, prosperous, productive, and effective
lives while similtaneously increasing our defenses against misfortune. Our Next Step:
Now we have to deal with another major stumbling block. We have
to examine how we interpret the past. This is very important, because
people usually make policy recommendations for the future based
upon the use of some kind of interpretation of past events. Dr.
Ralph Raico, in his Mises Institute lecture, emphasized this point
when he alluded to Winston Smith's job in the Ministry of Truth
in George Orville's novel 1984. Smith
scanned old newspapers for content that did not seem to fit Big
Brother's current policies and threw them down the memory hole.
"He who controls the past controls the present, and he who
controls the present controls the future." a) Environmental top down (also
known as authoritarian modern liberalism, liberal fascism, and "neo-Jacobinism,"
all of which describes what America has become today)
Link to the following discussions regarding how each of these perspectives produces a unique interpretation of American historical trends: a) Environmental top down (liberal
or neo-Jacobin fascism, what America has today)
The genetic top down viewpoint Obviously genetic top down theorists tend to be elitists.
They have one big advantage over environmental top down theorists
in that they can point to the right hand side of the bell-shaped
distribution curves of genetic traits and note how IQ scores and
virtually everything else with genetic basis has a relatively small
population compared to the middle group. One often hears the saying
in business that 20% of the people do 80% of the real work. I have
also heard some very successful business people say that part of
their secret is to ally themselves with the top 20% within the top
20% who are the ones who really know what is going and
have the means to do something about it. I have already mentioned this elsewhere, but it bears repeating that Nordic socieites have historically tended to be more instinctively liberatarian with a significantly larger middle class demographic bulge compared to most other societies, which have tend to be more pyramidal. However, while this is an important difference, it is still only a relative difference. It is still the exception that helps to prove the rule. So perhaps the genetic top down theorists are just a bit more honest about all this than the egalitarians. In comparing the genetic and environmentally-related lines of analysis on an overall social level, I see an interesting analogy with value vs. momentum stock analysis in the stock market. On the one hand you have your "deep value" Graham and Dodd analysts who look at book value, price to book, price to cash flow, P/E multiples, and other expressions of deep fundamentals. They also feel that it is very important to visit a company, get to know its management and products in great detail, go over all its financial information in great detail, talk to competitors, analyze the industry in great detail, and perform other deep research. Deep value investors such as a Warren Buffet realize that eventually even the craziest markets will eventually regress back to some reasonable valuation based upon sustainable fundamentals. Similarly genetic theorists look closely at the innate
temperamental traits of a given people. They feel that you cannot
understand their long term history unless you understand such factors
as their innate level of intelligence, their instinctive tendencies
towards authoritarianism as opposed to decentralization, their innate
nervous system "rythm" or operational tempo, their tendency
to engage in forms of adaptive mimicry (deception) as opposed to
technological behavior (rational behavior), and their tendency to
engage in impulsive immediate gratification as opposed to long range
delayed gratification. Genetic theorists believe that over the long
run, the political and social insituations of a particular people
tend to revert to type. Hence, our study of the innate traits of
a people and their longstanding institutions should complement and
reinforce each other. Similarly in regard to political science, your environmental theorists are much more concerned about what interest groups, factions, and classes are likely to do right now than how they got into power over a long term period or where society may be headed ten or twenty years from now. They are political correctness "momentum dudes" only concerned with the power of political factions to move the society now, such as influence its foreign policy, media, financial institutions, and its immigration policy. A major problem with the environmental approach is that often so many white lies and arbitrary decisions get built on top of each other that people wind up in a position analogous to rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic before a major fundamental "correction" comes along to bring a society back in line with reality. I agree with Bill Bonner, James Turk, James Puplava, and other financial commentators regarding the likelihood of a perfect financial storm ahead that will probably roil America worse than the hyperinflationary meltdown that wiped out over half of Argentina's middle class in 2001 and give quite a few Americans a whole new perspective on life, to say the least There is an interesting correlation between genetic
policy and the financial markets. Perhaps we should not be too surprised,
since what people do with their money is similarly of vital importance
compared to what they do with their genetic-related interests. I
am reminded of the "mini-skirt" market indicator of the
1960's. As the mini-skirts got shorter, the stock market got more
speculative and frothier. Of course both mini-skirts and the stock
market probably had a "proxy" rather than a cause-and-effect
relationship involving deeper factors, such as very liberal Great
Society spending programs, racial integration, the Fed's London
Gold pool manipulation, and foreign intervention policies in Vietnam
that were also getting into gear. There are so many factors involved
it is probably impossible to scientifically prove any kind of direct
relationship between hemlines and the stock market. However, one
can discern some bare threads of unifying logic. Shorter mini-skirts
imply a greater propensity to tease men, which in turn implies a
greater propensity towards promiscuity. This in turn suggests a
greater chance of random investment in genetic assets (ie. more
interracial marriage and illigitimate child-bearing). So if a society
is getting more reckless in deploying its genetic assets, why would
it behave that much differently regarding its financial assets? In regard to the financial markets, never before in financial history have all the major nations of the world been so completely delinked from gold where they are floating on nothing but seas of fiat currencies. Never before have financial markets seen such bubble markets as the late 1990's American bull market (still kept reflated by expansive Fed monetary policy) or the current housing market. Never before have global financial markets been so heavily leveraged with extremely risky unregulated derivatives, now amounting to over $200 trillion. Never before in American history have consumers, corporations, and government been so leveraged on debt. As a former full time stock broker, I noticed on an unscientific, anecdotal level that people who were involved in interracial marriage seemed to be more likely to engage in extremely risky, speculative trading, and I think that a similar pattern currently applies on a super macro social level. A first step in the genetic top down analysis is to look at the ethno-racial composition of a society, and in particular the power positions held by key racial and ethic groups during different phases of American history. I think that it is really critical to look at the character of the people who shaped America's institutions in the 18th and 19th century before America got caught up in the accellerating tug of leftist authoritarianism ever since the War Between the States. In his Politically Incorrect Guide to American History, Dr. Thomas Woods notes "First basic fact: the colonists were not paragons of `diversity.' They came from one part of Europe. They spoke a common language. The worshipped the same God." He lists the first four waves of immigration:
In The Dispossessed Majority, Wilmot Robertson provides in his "Appendix A" (page 563) racial composition estimates from the mother country made by Carl Brigham, associate professor of psychology at Princeton University. The United Kingdom was listed as 80% light white Nordic and 20% dark white mediterranean. Scotland was listed as 85% Nordic, 15% Mediterranean. In other words, early America was a de facto Nordic ethno state. Among other things, Wilmot Robertson debunks the "huddled masses and wretched refuse from teaming shores" propaganda written by the Jewish Marxist poet Emma Lazarus in the early 20th century. Instead, early Americans were a proud, courageous, individualistic people engaged in a brutal Darwinian struggle. On pages 42-44 Robertson notes:
Robertson notes that the overwhelmingly Nordic percentage of the white population began to decline during the War Between the States, and has been in decline ever since. Most racial historican like Robertson view the War Between the States as a tragic form of "reductionism" on both sides with virtually no redeeming features whatsoever. It started America down the path towards ever growing liberal fascist government and eventual ruin. What little existed of white racial pride and solidarity in America before the war was largely shattered. All of its political institutions were degraded down a quantum level towards more graft, demogogery, and pork barrel corruption. The scandals of the Robber Baron Age seemed to herald this more decadent new chapter in American history. As bad as the slavery problem was before the war, conditions after
war became even worse from the viewpoint of white self-determination
everywhere in America. Now blacks were forcefully integrated into
white society on artificially equal terms rather than repatriated
to their natural homeland. This made it much harder for whites to
form homogeneous white societies regardless of how whites feel about
blacks, or their historic relationship with them. This is true even
for nationalists who genuinely want to show compassion for blacks
and help them on a humanitarian level, yet simultaneously reserve
the right to live in a white society with white values that controls
its own destiny. This viewpoint stands in sharp contrast to the Whig Theory of history espoused by environmental historians that I describe earlier, who view the Civil War as a great, noble, and redeeming step towards a more perfect society. Please allow me to vividly illustrate the racial historian's perspective in a different way. Imagine that we have a large family with a cruel and finicky father.
He has eight teenage kids. Imagine that three of the kids want to
move out of the house because they think the father is mean and
they want to be on their own. In contrast, the father needs them
to keep doing chores on the farm. During a heated family argument,
the father incites the five other kids who are loyal to him to attack
the three dissidents. One child is ax-murdered, and the two others
are cut up badly. As a more subtle question, do you even need to know that much about
any ideological or personality differences within the family to
begin to form a strong gut feeling that this family will never,
ever be normal under any circumstances? Last, but not least, let me return to that more subtle question.
Do you really have to know that much about the ideological or personality
differences involving white Southerners or Germans to begin to form
a gut judgment on this issue?
In his book Jewish Supremacism, Dr. David Duke claims that these anti-white, pro-Third World immigration changes were the culmination of a relentless campaign waged by Jewish organizations over the prior six decades. This included efforts in the 1920's to block the publication of classic racialist books such as The Passing of the Great Race by the American natural historian Madison Grant about the decline of America's Nordic population. A good next step in our analysis is to look at the power positions of various groups in America today. I have already discussed the instinctive libertarian tendancies of Nordics who set the tone for America up until the 20th century in my environmental vs. genetic section in "Resolving Opposing Ideologies." Not surprisingly, 19th century America was largely a Popular Science Magazine kind of society, with a major focus on technological innovation and the manufacture of higher quality goods at lower costs. I think that My Life and Work by Henry Ford really captures the spirit of that era. Take a trip to the Smithsonian Institution and look at all the great inventions of that era. By 1900 America produced about 30% of global GDP compared to 10% for Britain and 10% for Germany. The greatest anomoly today involves the power and influence of the Jewish community. With only 3% of the national population, it has over 30% of the most wealthy individuals on the Forbes 400 list, according to Michael Collins Piper in his book The New Jerusalem. Jews also comprise 30% of the faculties of many Ivy League schools, to include Jewish law professor Alan Dershovitz at Harvard who condones torture. According to the Lichter and Rothman study that appeared in Public Opinion Magazine, 60% of the electronic media elite grew up in a Jewish household. Various rightist sources such as National Vanguard claim that Jews now dominate all of America's largest national media firms. In the High Priests of War, Michael Collins Piper describes the power of the Jewish lobby to control U.S. foreign policy and drag America into the Iraqi quagmire. The rapid growth in Jewish power after the 20th century has been documented by such books as An Empire of their Own: How the Jews Invented Hollywood by Neal Gabler and The Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin about the role of the Rothschilds and other elite Jewish interests allied with the Morgans and Rockefellers in setting up the Federal Reserve Banking System,. Also interesting is the four Volume International Jew series by Henry Ford which describes the Jewish takeover of major American newspapers. Ford also describes the Balfour Declaration, in which Britain promised Palestine to Jews if in return American Jews dragged America into World War I. He also describes how Wilson was surrounded by Jewish advisors, and their role in getting him to approve the disastrous Versailles Treaty that led to World War II. They also encouraged a "hands-off" policy towards White Russians seeking to overthrow the Bolsheviks, most of whom were Jewish kinsmen. Speaking of Henry Ford, we understand perfectly well how he got
rich, starting with the cars he built in his own garage. However,
the origins of aggregate Jewish wealth and power is far more mysterious.
For example, we know that varous prominent Jewish families such
as the Rothschilds had cracked a number of European central banks
by the time of the Napoleonic Wars, to include the Bank of England,
and also that they were involved in some amazing financial legerdermain
juggling fractional reserve and fiat money systems that enable them
to create vast amounts of money out of thin air. In my other section
I mentioned the famous episode where the Rothschiilds sneaked a
gold shipment under Napoleon's nose to Wellington's troops in Spain,
and had close ties with the underworld. We also know from Final
Judgment: The Missing Link in the JFK Assassination Conspiracy by
Michael Collins Piper that Israeli-Mossad-Mafia ties are very significant.
So what remains mysterious involves determining how much of Jewish
wealth in the American economy comes from a Henry Ford-like "value
proposition" that addresses real consumer needs, and how much
involves involves massive fraud and huge sums redistributed under
the table to fellow tribesmen to launder in legitimate businesses. There are obviously some huge qualitative differences between the Nordic and the Jewish approaches to capitalism that most modern libertarians refuse to address publicly. On pages 192-193 of The Dispossessed Majority, Wilmot Robertson addressed some of the enigmas involved in Jewish alleged superiority:
As discussed in my Critical Issues sction, in the 20th century America has gone from an all-white country, that once had the most powerful economic base and the highest standard of living in the world, to a country where whites are rapidly sliding into minority status. America has lost most of its industry, is bankrupt, and is rapidly taking on all the characteristics of a Third World country. I agree with the genetic top down theorists that one must spend time studying the Jewish role in America and the Jewish modus operandi before American economic, political, and social policies throughout much of the 20th century start to make any sense all. This begins a fascinating voyage into a bizarro world (a favorite term of antiwar.com commentator Justin Raimondo) that reminds me of the character of the simultaneously brilliant and self-destructive Dr. Edward Morbius in the classic science fiction film The Forbidden Planet. We might look at an anology involving nature. When animals come into a new environment, they tend to instinctively reorient it to suit their characteristics. As an example, when a group of ants enter a tract of flat earth, ant hills start happening. As another example, when a group of beavers enter a pristine marshland, beaver dams start happening. I think that if a beaver had to live in a pristine marshland area without any beaver dams happening for any extended period of time, we would wind up with one very anxiety-ridden, freaked out beaver. Similarly, if we look at the evolutionary history
of the Jewish people, we see that for the last two to three thousand
years they have been a small but exceptionally dynamic minority
everywhere they have gone. They have survived in brokerage jobs
where they have had to engage in financial manipulation and keep
multiple sets of mental books to transact and negotiate between
parties, typically playing them off against each other. They have
tended to survive best in multi-cultural, multi-racial decaying
civilizations. To avoid assimilation, they have distrusted authorities,
used deception, and have punished Jewish renegades. They have simultaneously
had to be charming while secretly feeling hateful rejection of their
hosts. Jews who have failed to show these characteristics have either
died out or have been absorbed by the host population. On the other
hand Jews who have been really good at intrigue and wealth accumulation
have become heroes in a culture that strongly values this behavior.
They have been specially sought out by Jewish women to have disproportionately
more children. Therefore, paradoxically, the most hateful and the
most utterly anti-Jewish thing you can possibly do to the Jews is
to be passive-aggressive and acquiese to them and not publicly criticize
them or otherwise try to hold them in check, analogous to giving
an an alcoholic all the booze he wants. Knowing this, elite Jews tend to do everything possible to jam and discredit all forms of racial consciousness among outsiders to prevent them from asking the right questions about their instinctive tendencies that might cause people to thwart them. By "elite Jews" we usually mean of course "criminal Jews" in line with the libertarian analysis provided in my "Resolving Opposing Viewpoints" commentary. Jewish culture seems to be heavily skewed towards stealth and manipulation. Much like the CIA, KGB, Mossad, and other espionage organizations, it seems to lack checks and balances to prevent bad people from rising to the top. Incidentally, before we leave the topic of Jewish affairs, an important issue involves the extent to which elite criminal Jews have victimized their own people. For example, Rabbi Moshe Shonfeld accuses the Zionists of collaborating in the Nazi persecution of fellow Jews in his book "Holocaust Victims Accuse." The Jewish underground organization Haganah set off an explosion inside the S.S. Patria in November 1940, killing 268 fellow Jews. According to Naeim Galadi, in 1950 Zionist undercover operatives killed fellow Jews in Iraq to terrorize other Jews into immigrating to Israel. Also, the tycoon Robert Maxwell may have been killed by Mossad agents. I could go on, but once again, it is worth re-emphasizing that
we are dealing with a bizarro world where intrigue gets spun endlessly
and where it endlessly spins out of control, where cunning often
outwits itself, and where Jews as well as gentiles alike need too
work harder on a grass roots level to straighten things out and
identify and reign in criminal leaders. The first is Ways That Are Dark: The Truth About China written in 1933 by "our man in China" Ralph Townsend. It is not for nothing that the Chinese have often been referred to as "The Jews of the East." His studies of the Chinese and the very different Japanese character remain timeless. This book underscores the point that one can hardly judge a country's political institutions without first coming to grips with the underlying innate character of its people. Paradoxically, having a wise appreciation of racial differences may do more to aid mutually respectful, self-restrained, and beneficial long term trade relations than to proceed on false premises and make oneself vulnerable. Secondly, the collected works of Dr. Lothrop Stoddard are always a great read. Most of these works were written from the 1910's to the 1920's. Stoddard got his Phd from Harvard and remains a very perceptive author with a good writing style. His works include Racial Realities in Europe, The Rising Tide of Color Against White World Supremacy, The Revolt Against Civilization, and the New World of Islam. Stoddard's works show us how the patterns of behavior that we see in Nordic early America are very similar to patterns shown by whites in ancient, pre-Christian times such as in Greece and Rome. In my "Reconciling Opposing Ideologies" discussion I go into more detail about how there was nothing about early America that was really that new in regard to the creation of republican government that had not already been done many times over in Europe stretching back to prehistoric times. Stoddard's The French Revolution in Santo Domingo, about the overthrow of white people Haiti in the late 18th century, is a timeless classic about patterns of racial behavior that are now being repeated over and over again abroad in places like the former Rhodesia and South Africa as well as on home turf in places like Detroit and Washington, D.C.. Where Black Rules White: A Journey Across and About Hayti by Hesketh Prichard, written in the late 19th century, gives us a valuable perspective on a purely black society, and what blacks had wrought after nine decades of exclusive stewardship of what was once one of the most properous colonies in the Western hemisphere run by whites. We learn from these books that compared to the white world, the indigenous black world is very different in terms of its innate operational tempo, its capacity for delayed gratification, and its marked inability to distinguish facts and logic from fantasy and surrealism. Then there are the scientific works that help us understand the
evolutionary dynamics that shape racial behavior. They include the
Evolution of Ethics and A
New Theory of Evolution by Sir Arthur Keith, Race
Evolution, and Behavior by J. Philippe Rushton,
Sociobiology: The New Synthesis by Dr. Edward Wilson,
and A People That Shall Dwell Alone: Judaism as a Group
Evolutionary Strategy, with Diaspora Peoples by Dr.
Kevin MacDonald. They also include the collected works of Dr. Arthur
Jensen and Dr. Raymond Cattell.
