Commentary in National Alliance monthly Members BULLETIN by Dr. Pierce, from January 1998:
The
Old Faith Faileth
During the past
couple of years we’ve had a growing volume of correspondence from the general
public: from people who have never had
any connection with a race-oriented or Politically Incorrect organization. Most of these people are responding to one of
our American Dissident Voices broadcast or to one of our Internet sites. Their letters, some via e-mail and some via
the postal service, cover a wide spectrum of attitudes, from people who have
long agreed with us but only recently have been moved to contact us, to people
who until recently disagreed strongly with us but are now beginning to have
doubts about their former beliefs.
A typical
letter in the latter category might begin:
“I don’t share your racist beliefs, but I must admit that you’re right
about….” Then will follow an account of
a traumatic collision with racial reality the correspondent recently has
experienced. Or a letter might begin: “I
don’t agree with your ideas about a Jewish conspiracy, but I’m glad to see that
somebody is speaking out against the Clinton
administration’s insane plan to start another unnecessary war in the Middle
East….” What one senses behind all the
letters of this type is a person who used to be Politically Correct but has been
unable to maintain his orthodox faith in the face of an increasingly
contradictory reality. Major cracks have
developed in his system of beliefs as the world in which he lives becomes nuttier
and nuttier – and increasingly hostile. He
still wants to have “respectable” or “Correct” beliefs, but they are slipping
away from him as the evidence against them mounts. Some of these letters don’t even admit to any
agreement with us, but one can sense a barely controlled desperation in their
statement of belief, as if they’re begging us to prove them wrong and give them
something more reasonable to believe instead.
Letters of the
former type, expressing strong, long-term agreement with us, appear to be not
so much from people who have just learned of our existence as from people who
finally have been able to overcome their fears and are willing to risk exposure
by contacting us. Most of these people
are professionals who are certain that their lives will be ruined if any of
their colleagues find out what they believe.
The softness of their lives and the non-stop barrage of hate propaganda
from the controlled media have robbed them of their courage and greatly exaggerated
their fears – but a subconsciously sensed change in the climate around them
nevertheless has moved them to act.
What is
this
climatic change? Basically it is a
tension in the air caused by the growing gap between reality and
orthodoxy. At the same time, the orthodox establishment
has lost much of its former status and respectability. The façade of
orthodoxy has become more
weatherbeaten, while the parade grounds on which the moguls of orthodoxy
used
to display their might have grown more weeds and developed more
potholes. Awe is being overtaken by cynicism. The faithful have become
increasingly
doubtful, and the unfaithful have become bolder.
This process is
helped enormously by people like Bill Clinton.
He is the high priest of orthodoxy, a man who has made a career of professing
his dedication to Political Correctness while doing more than any other person
to discredit it, albeit inadvertently. As
I write, his approval rating, announced by his media friends during the second
week of the Bill-and-Monica scandal, stands at 72 per cent, an all-time high. What a wonderful argument against mass
democracy that is!
I am willing to
believe this amazing approval rating: the
people who voted for him – the welfare class, the Jews, the feminists, and homosexuals,
and the non-Whites – are rallying around their besieged hero, while other voters
are expressing their approval of the act that the U.S. economy is still holding
itself up, for the moment, and that’s all they really care about. But the people who approve of Bill Clinton
don’t really count, not even the self-supporting, heterosexual White ones.
Furthermore,
it’s not really “approval” which counts; it’s respect, awe, and fear, and these
latter are way down. When people no
longer respect or fear their government, that government’s days are numbered. For most Americans Bill Clinton symbolizes
the government; as their contempt for him grows, their respect for the
government he heads diminishes. And
although fear of disapproval by one’s colleagues is not quite the same as fear
of being found out by the government to be Politically Incorrect, the two are
related: the more one loses one’s
respect for the government – which, after all, is the ultimate arbiter of
Political Correctness – the more one is willing to take a chance on being found
out by one’s colleagues.
There’s more to
the change in climate than Bill Clinton’s unzipped fly, of course. There’s the O.J. Simpson verdict, and there
are the cumulative effects of a thousand lesser aberrations over the past few years. There’s the increasingly hard line of the
television bosses promoting miscegenation, and there’s the increasing
difficulty of remaining unscathed by the proximity of non-Whites in our
everyday lives. More and more people are
coming to the realization that the country is poised on the brink, while the
priests of Political Correctness are chanting: “Jump! Jump! Jump!...”
Anyway, that’s
what I see as the reason for the growing number of people reaching out to us.
May their numbers continue to increase!
