OTHER METHODS FOR THE MANTRA ARE YOUR ARTILLERY COVER

OTHER METHODS FOR THE MANTRA ARE YOUR ARTILLERY COVER | 2012-01-04

No one really knows how ideas are spread. Before I really got into campaigns I thought once a candidate had statewide or national advertisements on television, he would concentrate on Big Stuff.

I got that impression beaten out of me dragging behind a major party candidate at 7 am while we waited for a chance for the hands to show up so we could shake them.

The self-styled Wise Men will see a candidate for President of the United States going into a coffee shop and going around shaking hands. Any foreign political observer is likely to say it is just a photo op.

I honestly don't understand it, but successful candidates do go out there and put in hours the Gulag would shrink at.

If we find other ways to spread the Mantra, it is cover fire the ground troops. Politics cannot be sold in abstracts. The nose-to-nose work the Swarm does is the ONLY way to start from where we are, but it is also the only way a cause is sold.

Having a random group of people hear the Mantra in other ways may make your job a bit easier, but not much. You can batter and bomb the other side into rubble and powder, but someone still has to go in and take the ground.

The only relief you may get is that a few extra bugsers may turn up from other means of exposure.

Other methods may make your job more effective, but it will make it no easier.

Politics is retail. In the famous victory of Scott Brown a while back over Martha Coakley, shaking hands played an important role. Don't know if it got much national buzz but it was big in the Bay State. There was a big promotional outdoor hockey game at dear old Fenway Park. Being early January it was nastily freezing. Scott stood outside and greeted the entering fans.

But Martha did not, and could not keep her mouth shut.

Polls had her in the lead. She was skating, figuring to take no chances and win. A reasonable strategy, though her premise may have been faulty. In any case when asked an offhand question about whether she was not campaigning hard enough she flippantly answered, "As opposed to standing outside Fenway Park? In the cold? Shaking hands?"

A good GOP Red Sox pitcher, Curt Schilling, blogged about it and all the sports talk radio shows jumped on it. The lady was too high tone to mingle with sports fans. Her snootiness spread to other demographics and other talk show formats. The story had legs.

Not saying that the election hinged on this single incident, but as an old warhorse Bob knows you seldom get a free bolt of lightening like that in the waning hours of a hard fought race.

Shaking hands works. Danged if I know exactly why either. Sort of like the mantra. We are in a retail business.

A candidate that goes door to door always does better in campaigns. When knocking doors or talking to any perspective voter the candidate should do the following:

1. Shake hands - Shake hands with one voter, then one has potentially shaken hands with 20 voters.

2. Make eye contact - Shows sincerity on the candidates part.

3. Ask them for their vote - Gets commitment

It works.

Ask the voter what they want, that helps, even if you have to gently tell them what they want. Get off the freaking abstract nonsense, ok that might be good for an intellectual get together that will be the size of a chess club (hello AmRen), but the abstract while necessary does not sell in a short election cycle. That last point is from Bob talking to Reagan about the need to praise the American people instead of droning on like a Ron Paul about the stupid gold system and other fringe national review favorite debating points.

This next saying wraps up the above; "Is it good for the Jews?"

One day we will be there and not fixated on gold systems or crime stats.

Idk--- Ron Paul's not droning. The subtext he's selling is that Truth Matters & he's been a slow build picking up adherents.

Also, they don't seem to be selling--- most in msm & msm candidates are products of Industrial Revolution propaganda, and talk in sports metaphors.

The subtext of the NFL (beating out your neighbor, america built on competition, keeping scores and tallys of results, race, running neck and neck, etc, etc.)

It has the same subtext of "rags to riches," like NFL, the criminal players, the lotto salaries, etc.

Watching coverage back-to-back w/ sportscasters is funny.

Imo, it's the point of what became of "sports." You build the dictatorship meme in sports, and its interchangeable with the "elections." All the language is highly normalized, naturalized, as the people hear it everyday.

None of the metaphors (obviously) references representation.

It's a "football" game. (or what they turned football into).

#5 BGLass | 2012-01-04 10:37

Oh--

the extension of the sports metaphor--- between the "Obama Roman Columns" acceptance speech, and having the sport 'games' in the arenas, colosseums, etc. The "elections" are gladiator sport.

One could go on about it--- but this shift in metaphor is away from selling--- all those ad man campaigns.

#6 BGLass | 2012-01-04 10:44

our candidates (and ourselves) should explode the metaphor, make it overt, visible, discuss it, question it, probe it.

People who are not very bright actually think that "sports is entertainment." That's what they're told, over and over.

Should we really discuss this as if it's some game? Our lives are on the line! What kind of people would do that?

#7 Simmons | 2012-01-04 11:05

Let the people make up their own minds, all the while you help them do this. People have to sell themselves we cannot tell them to use the Mantra.

BGLass why do you not use the Mantra? Can you help us out, help us make those sales, garner those votes of approval.

I asked politely of Mr. Kelso and found out I was being impolite, but I ask anyone why they do not use it. In this I am being sincere.

Note; we break this mental block we then expand exponentially in numbers.

"and found out I was being impolite,"

I didn't think you were impolite. Of course when I consider what I ended up saying....

I've just been told that I can announce the opening of an exciting new site:

I was actually introduced to the Mantra by one of our PLE migrants, Luke, who has been using it for years and even used it overseas in Japan of all places on a military base. It worked. And it continues to work. The swarm is efficient and now the local anti Whites who used to attack me all the time know that my Swarm cavalry will come to the rescue one they start their hate attacks on me and the PLE.

Thanks again to you all, I love you and wish I could make you all a pie!!

Who are you going to vote for, the nice man who shook your hand, or some name on a ballot you know nothing about?

#12 dungeoneer | 2012-01-05 00:23

It will be appreciated,and it can only be a bad thing for the enemy.

What I`d give to see the look on an anti-white`s face who`s already had the mantra experience on-line then see it on the TV in a public setting-priceless!
