"Joe Sobran said you couldn't even really call it a book...because there are no talking heads in it."

I've said it before: Joe Sobran has a necro-romance with the very, very late hack author, Bill Shakespeare — a topic only Harvard or Yale "intellectuals" give a damn about, not because it relates to their life in any usable, common-sense way, but because it's "in vogue" to do so in the so-called intellectual crowds. I'm sure smoking marijuana is in vogue with those Reds too.

Meanwhile, Bob is writing books to save the White race. I'll buy Bob's book. I would be inclined to start a fire in my fireplace with Sobran's books just so I could have enough light to read Bob's books by it. Perhaps Sobran should come down off his Buckley-like throne and join us in the trenches. He could recite Shakespeare to keep his knees from knocking once the revolution gets messy.

Comment by Mark

ME:

Joe is a fully trained Shakespeare scholar. During my DC days we would sit on the porch and he would quote wads from the Bard's plays. He wasn't showing off. We just enjoyed them, especially after a moderate intake of alcohol.

I was walking with Joe a couple of years back when he finished his book, "Who Was Shakespeare?" He told me he was getting very tired telling the truth and being kicked downstairs for it. He wanted to concentrate on Shakespeare again.

On the one hand I sympathized. The man had lost his job and friendship and the sponsorship of William Buckley for raising hell about the Jews.

On the other hand, it was a little like me hearing a hundred times a year for fifty years, "But, Bob, I've got a LIFE!" The clear implication being that Bob has no life, so HE can dedicate himself to the battle for our survival, a minor matter compared to getting Little Suzy to Kindergarten on time.

I had gotten tired long before Joe got into this fight. He and Buchanan were pro-immigration freaks in 1980 and they were people I had to fight. I was exhausted THEN, which is why I am on disability now

Which brings up the big difference between us and the usual wolf pack Mark (I hope to God I got the person right, I'm too TIRED to search back right now) talks about.

In a wolf pack the aging leader will die before he gives up his lead position. In our group, Ole Bob lives for the day he can see some other tail up front. I am endlessly encouraged to look out of the corner of my eye and spy, in alphabetical order because my old tail can't take another nip, Alan B, IF he DOES what he proposes, Dave and Mark and Peter coming up beside me. If I missed anybody, speak up, but we are in pretty rarified company here.

I long for the day when the leaders are up front and Ole Bob can lope along behind and whine to Joe Ororke about how those smartass young pups up front don't realize what WE went through. Our Joe will tell me to shut up, but I won't.

Joe SOBRAN was a good buddy until I was able to tell the world to go to hell and put myself beyond the pail. I think that the reason Joe and Pat don't return my calls is because they are Catholics first and whites third or so.

Whenever somebody raises hell about embryonic stem cell research, I remember risking my job by refusing to have anything to do with any "pro-life" effort to outlaw in vitro fertilization. There are over thirty thousand people alive today, almost all of them intelligent whites, as a result of in vitro. "Pro-lifers" didn't want them born because you had to kill some fertilized eggs in the process.

And to make their case, they never hesitated to lie like rugs.

So when stem cell research came up, they used the old generic "conservative" argument I discuss in the the Intro to my book below:

"I've always been wrong before, but this time I'm right."

AND, in addition to that:

"I lied before, but this time you can believe me."

Two statements, two identical answers:

"No way."

Joe edits a very conservative Catholic publication, so my position on things like embryonic stem cells turned him off me big time. I think preventing abortions means more to him and Pat than anything about our race.

Back when Pat Buchanan was stating on national television that the Americans at Normandy died to open Europe to third-world immigration, I was reading the Mexican Constitution and putting quotes in the Congressional record about THEY treat illegal immigrants.

I'm a little tired, too, Joe.

But we are back to the point I just made with free agent. One Joe Sobran or Pat Buchanan is more of a man than a hundred George Wills or William Buckleys, so I give them credit for what they do.

Buchanan did bring the whole issue of Jews getting us into the Middle East up. Pat wrote a book that brought the end of the white race into mainstream thinking. Pat was the highest paid editorial writer, liberal or conservative, when he switched his position on immigration. He isn't any more, by a long shot.

They don't speak to me, but I will never cease to be grateful to and admiring of both Pat and Joe Sobran

But the future is in the hands of those who will take over the pack leadership from Ole Bob.

The day of the conservative who happens to talk about race is over. Their job is done, but I hope they stay at it, just as I told free agent that I deeply hope that Stormfront will keep on, though its days of real basic contributions are over unless it starts some hard rethinking.

Pat and Joe made my ideas mainstream. Stormfront proved we CAN speak up if we do it right.

I thank them. I admire them.

And it is time to move on.

It's always amusing to watch people play the "Who (or what) is the real authority?" game.

It begins with, "Well so and so is the real authority". Then that is challenged and demolished and on it goes until a whole big line of dominoes fall.

Finally, it gets spiritual and religious and the game ends.

But the truth is always the same, regardless of the subject matter: Those that are the RECOGNIZED AUTHORITIES (and believe themselves to be the RECOGNIZED AUTHORITIES) are never the real authorities.

Instead there is some "heretic" out there who is not the recognized authority that is actually the real authority. This is true in every field, almost without exception.

It is just the way human life works and always worked.

For example, we all know that Steve Wazniak had to quit his job at HP to get the time to design a PC that was actually useful. The executives at HP wouldn't let him do it, even though he begged them for the chance. They actually did not know that there was no one in the world at that time that had more expertise about computers than Steve Wazniak.

This is exactly the situation with BW.

BW is the authority on how and why American law ran off the track with respect to national sovereignty and the rights of America's indigenous European populations.

Nobody else out there is really addressing the issue in exactly the same way that in the 1970s no one but Steve Wazniak was really addressing the issue of how to make a PC genuinely useful.

Lots of people were working on the issue, but no one else even came near Steve Wazniak's expertise. Steve Wazniak alone had the background and brains to figure the central problems to getting the devices to be genuinely useful tools.

Again, this is exactly the situation with BW. You have to be BW himself, have his background, and brains, to get the whole thing resolved as to how America law ran off the tracks and tanked our national sovereignty.

Lots of people have opinions on this issue, are working on it, but none of them even come close to BW because he is the world authority on the matter in the same way Steve Wazniak was the world authority on PCs.

We have to respect this and take it seriously.

Both Mr. Sobran and Mr. Buchanan were white before they were Catholics and they were made Catholic or Christian by other whites. There is something wrong with the notion that mankind is to be saved by the destruction of whites. That is the poison that must be recognized and removed. I could say a whole bunch of things about fighting this and that for the last thirty yrs. {I'm tired too} but this blog is right in that standing up for who you are, your people are, has to come first. I even believe that Jesus thinks so too.

The Art Schools of American Universities are perfect windows into academic corruption.

Every time I attend some competitive event designed to show artwork, most of the artists have a Bachelors or Masters Degree in Fine Arts.

And they are all trying to do the same thing, sell their artwork.

I have learned to run, not walk, through these events. I run through them quickly just to check to see if any of the artists there have at least journeyman level skills.

Even in a very large event, often I find not one artist with journeyman level skills. I am very pleased if I find just one.

But they are all pretending that their Fine Art Degrees makes them artists. In fact, the vast majority of them are only apprentices. Most of them are such that they will never even make it to being journeymen. They don't have the skills, brains, and know how.

You see, that is the con of Art Schools. They exist to fake people out, and earn money doing so, in what it really takes to become an accomplished artist.

A real apprenticeship in any field of art, whether metal smiths, cloisonn, drawing, or whatever, is a gargantuan undertaking and sustained effort. Getting to journeyman level is a huge accomplishment, usually involving more than a decade of sustained hard work under the direction of someone who is at least a journeyman himself.

There are very few masters in any field. Sometimes, a whole field of endeavor simply doesn't have a master at the present time. That's how rare real masters are.

The same is true in scholarship and science. Most of what the University does is a pure con job designed to make money off people who buy the con that the University has something real to offer them in the way of their intellectual development. They offer credentials in lieu of real accomplishment.

Notice how Universities strenuously avoid using the terms "apprentice", "journeyman", and "master". That would hold them to real standards and they are not about to do that. It would get in the way of the bottom line.

Very few intellectuals make it to journeyman status just like in art. Most of them are apprentices pretending to be real intellectuals.

For example, I have a great respect for David Duke, not only for his courage, but also as an intellectual. He has achieved a journeyman's level of development as an intellectual, which is a huge accomplishment. He is far ahead of me in every respect.

But BW is a master. Realize how rare that is. Don't compare a Pat Buchanan to him. Pat is a journeyman, and he is not as accomplished as David Duke. But Pat is not a phony, like George Will and Bill Buckley. As intellectuals, George Will and William F. Buckley are just plain phonies.

BW is a master who knows full well that it is unlikely that there will be someone to replace him.

Bob has taught us that there are the proper conservative, those who play the game with the liberals, that would describe George Will and Buckley, the are the beltways boys, the game players. Buchanan is a lame rebel so to speak, he never really gets as tough as he should, but then again he was a conformist like Sorban before he went some what farther to the right. Bob was always true and real from start to finish, he never compromised on his beliefs and values. Now We THE PEOPLE, tend to look towrn the nanny state for authority, mose want somebody in a costume as Bob would say to tell us what to do. Authority thrives on the myth that they and not the people

are the real authority. People prefer to worship words and costumes, they are setting theirselves up for the all encompassing nanny state. This authority lies, missleads and olny reacts in ways that bennifit their authority, so we must shy away from the myth. PC is a myth its all words that only destroy, period. Like Bob says it all ties together.
