Real Choice for Change?
James Edwards
My good friend Sam Dickson has often noted that whites in America are like abused children. The more whites are mistreated and abused by those in authority, the tighter we cling to them.
It’s easy to see why a small child clings to abusive parents. In his limited understanding of the world around him, his parents are everything. He’ll do his best to try to please them, to conform to the twisted world those parents create for him.
Why grown men and women do the same is harder to explain. The more their freedoms and rights are trampled and spit upon, the harder they wave the flag.
Take the American Renaissance conference as an example. It was canceled after the fourth or fifth hotel turned them away. Hotel employees received death threats and who knows what other kind of pressure.
I’m sure if you wandered around CPAC this week, asking the respectable conservative types manning the tables about the AmRen cancellation, they would all applaud the fact that such “hate” was snuffed out.
Even if they were stout enough to repeat the tired platitude, “I may not like what you have to say, but I’ll defend your right to say it” it’s not very likely that they will draw the obvious conclusion.
It’s too unpleasant to consider. Easier to stand in line for a picture with Sarah Palin.
What is the obvious conclusion we have to draw from the AmRen experience? There are only two choices.
One is that the billions of dollars spent on “Homeland Security” have been poured down a rat hole. If we can’t stop a bunch of creeps from the local Yeshiva from repeatedly calling in death threats to major hotels all around our capitol city, over a period of several weeks, then who are we kidding?
The second choice is that the establishment supports these stooges and has no intention of stopping them. They are doing their master’s bidding.
Which option do you prefer? Which one gives you a warm and fuzzy feeling like Sarah Palin?
How would your local congressman answer the question? Cuts pretty deeply to the heart of the issue, doesn’t it?
Think you’ll hear it discussed at CPAC, or by Rush, Hannity, or Beck?
How about at your local Tea Party, or by the Dead Elephants?
No, that’s the sort of thing you’ll only get on the Cesspool, or in a party like the American 3rd Position.
Well, this Saturday night (Feb. 20), you won’t have to choose, as we interview the chairman of American3P, Bill Johnson.
I’m a member of their board of directors, and proud to be associated with them.

And tune in Saturday night, for a little American relic, known as freedom of speech.
See you then,

The Political Cesspool, February 20, 2010
With all due respect, I believe the principal factor at work is that the diverse white American peoples have been silenced by failure to understand they are being re-tribalized. White Americans are slowly coming off their identity as “Americans” and learning that they are “white Americans.” It is taking a long time to make the switch and accept certain tribal-like attributes, and the primary problems are three-fold.
1) Many of us who understand the dynamics of re-tribalization fail to lead by example, fail to use the thin edge of the wedge, fail to model speaking in a white voice, and fail to model speaking about white-centric issues. It is difficult to move from American to white American for a whole lot of reasons, even though it is preached at us from a thousand pulpits, albeit in a negative way.
2) Many of us are not white-centric at all, but chiefly judeo-centric, afro-centric, and so on. One of the strangest centricities is the least necessary of all, and that is the passionate defense of the reality of race — we are told it is real in every college, every TV sitcom, every TV crime show, every daily newspaper,and every pronouncement by the government, yet we see an enormous investment by white activists in the time-consuming effort to uphold the idea of the reality of race as a self-existing phenomenon. Of course, racial distinctions are real, and every act & remark of our adversaries endorse it — unless it is to their rare advantage to deny it. But why it falls to the white man’s burden to uphold the idea of the reality of race itself is certainly unclear.
3) A big problem is our brothers & sisters in the cause of white activism who forget that they need to promote white awareness to newbies and reporters, something that is not accomplished by the full-throated rendering of The Truth as it is understood at the moment. When we are talking or acting or writing, we are engaging newbies and reporters who spread our modeling, and it ill behooves us to model other than the most simple concepts before the hard-to-understand position are conveyed.
When white Americans are successfully re-tribalized, that generation will decide all the finer points of governance, philosophy, morality, ethics, justice, and economy. What we say on these blogs, on radio shows, and in public statements will be judged by how well we in this generation wake up our sleepers.
I suspect that the conservative establishment has effectively directed the genuine anger among European Americans to the country’s alleged foreign enemies. The respectable right, from Sarah Palin to Rush Limbaugh, from Mitt Romney to Fox News, has sadly convinced a large fraction of conservative whites that the nation’s greatest challenge is the war against “Islamo-Fascism.” European Americans have thoroughly internalized the taboos against any discussion of race and the demographic transformation of the United States. Therefore, the demonization of Iran and other nations and organizations hostile to Israel becomes the only respectable manner in which whites assert their interests.
The White sheeple do indeed behave just like abused children, for they seek approval from their tormentors, as a way to lessen their torment, quite oblivious to the fact that it won’t help them, to do so.
Another way of looking at this phenomenon, is to equate it with a mass-group manifestation of the “Stockholm Syndrome”, where captives come to identify with their captors.
“Why grown men and women do the same is harder to explain. The more their freedoms and rights are trampled and spit upon, the harder they wave the flag.”
An obvious answer to this question, and one I’ve tried to draw attention to here since I started posting at this site, and elsewhere, for years (for example at AR), is because they learned such behavior at the hands of their parents.
Mr. Dickson is using it as an analogy to understand the behavior of many Americans.
I would use it as an explanation For their behavior.
Because there is no question that for millions of Whites, in terms of Family, and/or Culture, it’s a simple case of Transference, Learned Behavior, or whatever you want to call it.
It’s very much a part of who we are and we have to unlearn it fast.
But then first we have to talk about it honestly and openly amongst ourselves (not on Oprah!). A cognitive and emotional transformation is the only way to regain the choice making ability which is often the first victim in any abusive relationship.
Once we get that back as invididuals and as a group we’ll be able to make real choices for real change.
In any event, the number of damaged souls would certainly include a great number of Whites. It’s a position I’ve barely managed to escape having struggled with it my entire life.
But, since it is so difficult to quantify the exact number of people effected we must point to something else in our effort to understand our behavior in this matter.
I think there are two sources, history and behavior. But we’re not ready to turn to that just yet.
For now, let’s keep in mind that Mr. Edward’s article above talks about conservatives, or, establishment conservatives, who, whatever one might say about them, still see themselvs in opposition to “liberals.”
And both Liberals and Conservatives still – Still – live in a bizarre, polarized, duopoly bubble. Like Shakers and Quakers, except less quaint, and not at all charming.
Just out of date and frozen in past time.
Incubated from reality they have actually developed a twisted disdain for facts.
A disdain that grows more contemptuous in proportion to a facts unpleasantness.
This should be regarded, and just as quickly dismissed, as an ego-defense.
One not at all worth taking seriously, though certainly worth pointing out.
For those living outside of the Establishment Liberal/Conservative bubble the both of them together are truly an absurd spectacle. Modestly humurous and positively obnoxious.
Regardless, those unpleasant facts are still there and need to be addressed.
Happily, and despite basic differences of opinion between many of us here, we’re all united by a willingness to acknowledge a number of those basic facts.
1 – We’re White.
2 – We know that we’re the targets of a Hostile Elite because we’re White.
3 – As mentioned above, in spite of differences we fast learning just how much we need each other.
4 – Though it’s clear we’re being victimized, we don’t want to live as victims.
Meaning, we’re willing and prepared to do something about it, or at least make a start.
That’s where our conflict with the Hostile Elite begins. Because they don’t want us to be anything else but victims. Though obviously like the aforementioned parents, and someone else I’ll mention in a moment, they will deny us victim status. As they must, since they have to deny themselves offender status. But we know better.
Ironically, this is our common bond with our fellow Whites trapped inside of their duopoly bubble, ie; we’re all being victimized.
With, of course, some important differences.
We know we’re being victimized.
We know we don’t want to live as victims.
And, above all, we’re not interested in playing the PC game.
We know it won’t work, plus, it’s dishonorable.
Unbelievably, our Liberal/Conservative brethren have yet to accept the rather obvious fact that nothing good will come from their efforts to placate the Beast, as it were.
And now we’re back to the question, “Why would adults allow their rights to be trampled on?”
And the answer I would offer placed in the contexts of both history and behavior is – learned helplessness. In many cases they might learn this at home but it certainly goes back to the Book of Genesis – the proper place for any student of Western culture to begin.
After all, to use a quote from that book I included in a recent post here God does say (to who?) “Behold, the man is become as one of us (“one of us”? Where was he when he spoke these words, at a God convention?), to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat….”
Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden” he drove out the man.”
Much as we are being driven out of our own country today. And yet many have been clinging to that God ever since. Just as,.connected to this, it’s very significant indeed that the God in Genesis was clearly expressing fear that if man eat of the tree he just might usurp God’s power. So, God let him have it before such a potential threat could become an actual reality (a hint to those wanting to stand up to the Leviathan today).
So, let’s have the facts as they are folks, so that there’s no misunderstanding between us.
Our first God, from our first and most important document – one that, along with Plato, has shaped so much of our psychology, of the way we view the world, one going back so far it practically functions unconsciously – was scared of us. He was full of fear.
And, so, he punished us!
And what did we do? We ignored his fear, a fear that spoke to our potential power, meaning we ignored our potential power that we could have used to free ourselves from an abusive authority figure, and instead focused entirely on his punishment of us!!
More, we used that to continue punishing ourselves with guilt for defying someone who was lying to us from the beginning! A fit counterpart to our self-deception, since we were clearly lying to ourselves.
Meaning, Our potential power was real – just as it is now.
But the reason given for his punishment of us was not only imaginary, it was dishonest!
Just as it is now! The whole thing began as a lie.
This guy, I mean, this God, started things off by lying to us. If Adam eats of the tree he will die. The snake denies it and turns out to be right!
Something theologians have spent centuries trying to rationalize away. Just as their intellectual and cultural descendants today are trying to rationalize our “need” for millions of immigrants on behalf of their globalist masters.
Anyway, Adam eats and lives for hundreds of years and has lots of children, one of whom turns out to be the inventor of music. I mean come on!!!!
My goodness and we talk about them not having changed in thousands of years?
Let’s keep the focus primarily on us. It’s understandable the Adam and Eve made their mistake but there’s no good reason that we continue along the same road. After all, has it worked?
Schopenhauer was right to begin his masterpiece with a quote from Rosseau.
“Quite your childhood man, and grow up!”
Let’s take this advice and free ourselves once and for all from what is truly worst in us, so we can then break away once and for all from this oppressive and hostile elite.
