Come off it GW, the 50s were a ghastly grey Socialist miasma—the reason we still had rationing till 1954 was the government wanted it that way. It was the ultimate bureaucrat state; when Keynes was tring to produce an export boom at the end of WW II he was such a snob he never talked to William Morris, who as the head of Britain’s largest exporter had plans to produce that boom by flooding the US market with Morrises—provided only that Keynes didn’t mess up the exchange rate, which he did. A competitive exchange rate was all Morris needed to produce British economic recovery single-handed, and he didn’t get it.

It was always the view in the Karlmagnus family, even back then, that British civilisation came to a close in 1938, with the late great Neville Chamberlain running the nation’s finances, Imperial Preference binding the Empire together, Income Tax at 5s in the pound and senior civil servants like my father making an income that a gentleman could live on.

I remeber when I was about 6 I had heard the phrase “Before the War” so often that I asked my mother when we could have another war, so we could restlore the world to its proper condition of Britush middle class supremacy.

Great job guys!

Responding to Karlmagnus: I dont think GW was trying to point out that the 1950s were some kind of high point in British culture or anything else. He probably meant that there were stronger community ties, no drug use, sex wasnt flaunted and marketed like today, and so you could grow up in a safer and more pleasant place.

As regards the interview, its a pity Guessedworker didnt say more about his own awakening and blossoming as a person.
Stories about awakening to the realities of our times are sure to resonate with all of us. Im not sure why he had to be cut off or had to speak in single sentences. He doesnt need to mention specific names or places, he can just talk vaguely about his former life.

I wish we had heard more about Guessedworkers personal experiences and his political evolution. Its a great interview, we need much much more of that stuff! Thanks!

Who says I blossomed?

The first interview, which we did at the beginning of November, was much more interesting and I’d prepared properly for it.  But it lasted 70 minutes or more, and was obviously out of date topically.  There were other things wrong with it that no amount of editing would ever fix, so we decided to go again.  This time Soren was determined to be more disciplined and keep me from gravitating all the time towards my particular interests.  I notice that I did get “gravitated” towards Melba Peachtoast, for an explanation of which I think it is high time Soren volunteered.

I’d like to hear it to compare it to the one you posted. Maybe it’s better than you think it is

can we post questions for Mr.Sunic in this thread ?

Posted by Guessedworker on Wed, 10 Jan 2007 19:51 | #

JB,

Yes, questions are a good idea.  I will ask Soren whether the next interviewee, if established, can be announced on the preceding entry, so the thread can be used for that purpose.

I don’t know if Tom is, in fact, next up.  Maybe Soren has another one he’s working on.  I know that interviews with James Bowery and Matt Nuenke are likely to be recorded soon, and Soren has some very interesting prospects in mind.

For myself, I think it’s important that every MR contributor gets the Renner treatment ... and some of our most loyal and influential commenters, too (not necessarily for the whole 40 minutes or whatever, but however long they wished).  But, obviously, the main objective is to reach out far beyond the blog to well-known names from as broad a political spectrum as possible.

Posted by karlmagnus on Wed, 10 Jan 2007 20:27 | #

Soren was cutting you off a bit, GW; you have a more measured, thoughtful delivery than he does so he was interrupting you in sentences and missing thoughts I wished we’d had the end of. Probably if he’d done that to me in person I’d have lost it and sloshed him, so you are to be commended for your restraint!

Posted by Englander on Wed, 10 Jan 2007 20:45 | #

Yes, I though he was a bit rude at times to be honest. I found myself straining to hear the tale end of many sentences as they were being spoken over.

“But, obviously, the main objective is to reach out far beyond the blog to well-known names from as broad a political spectrum as possible.”

- and ask then if they have heard of ethnic genetic interests and if not, why not.

Posted by PF on Wed, 10 Jan 2007 21:39 | #

I didnt want to say this but I also thought Soren came across a bit rude. I think its a better interviewing tactic to let a person answer a question until they are really done answering it. You cant ask a question and then say, ~Oh, wait, stop, thats all I needed to know~. You wait until the other person finishes speaking and then you speak. I was a little bit embarrassed for everyone on that account.

Congratulations to both Soren and GW on a really splendid success!  Great job!  Extremely interesting and informative interview!

As for the overlaps where the interviewer and guest spoke at once, I took those to be due to that ground-to-satellite-and-back delay, no?  (What you get — or used to, at any rate — when talking overseas on the phone via satellite instead of transatlantic cable — a delay both ways, causing each person to start speaking before the other has finished.)  (Or am I woefully behind the times on that one?  Probably am ...)

I didn’t think Soren was rude at all ... just extremely high-strung.  (Just teasing of course — you did a fine job, SR.  Outstanding!)

I like the intro-and-closing music, btw.  Who’s it by?  I also very much like the way the intro music, that piano fugue thing, suddenly changes into that scary music, sort of musically announcing, “OK folks, here’s where we get serious and we mean serious — we’re not gonna be fooling around here.  We’re here to discuss important issues.”

A couple of items from the “My Two Cents” department:

—Soren put the question whether Le Pen’s daughter seems capable of filling her father shoes.  That’s an excellent (and obviously extremely important) question and my view is she isn’t, partly because she’s a woman and women lack the inborn brain-circuit/hormonal complex required to 1) grasp that there are in the world those things men know as races and countries and 2) develop some sort of sense, some sort of understanding, of how races and countries work (still less, what nation-states are and how those work).  Women have neither the one ability nor the other and cannot “learn” to have them because, again, they lack the inborn neuro-hormonal equipment, the exact same reason men don’t grow hips & breasts and aren’t likely to “learn how” any time soon.  So no, I see Marina as the wrong choice to inherit his mantle.  If she does, it’s down the tubes with everything he’s built.

—“There are no WN voices in the Amerikwan media at all.”  True but let’s give credit to Lou Dobbs, God bless him.  He’s not WN, no.  But he’s not too far removed from it either, in my view.  Think about that.  Look, if a commentator in the MSM were a closet WN, how much closer could he get to openly looking out for WN interests than Dobbs is doing?  Answer:  no closer.

re: Fred’s thoughts on Le Pen’s daughter. Hasn’t she proven that she understands the reality of race and racial issues? It would seem that she has long past that particular obstacle, so what’s there to worry about? Would you worry if we had a white Golda Meir on our side?

I’m liking how the anti-spambot word below is currently ‘race’.

I just listened to the interview again and Soren is actually hilarious in it.

Englander, women are extremely good at parroting things they don’t understand.  (It’s part of how they get husbands:  they accurately size up what the man they’ve set their sights on wants to hear and see to it that, when he’s around them, he hears plenty of it.)( * )  This has to do with their vastly superior empathy skills, greater than men’s the way a bloodhound’s sense of smell is greater:  they effortlessly, unerringly sense which men are in charge and, in a superficial way, what those men want.  Thanks to their superior verbal gifts they have no difficulty whatever “internalizing” the “script” the man likes and “reproducing it” when called for without the slightest understanding of what they’re parroting. 

Once Marina’s in charge the whole Le Pen organization will come apart at the seams like a foundering ship because, lacking all grasp of or interest in the ship’s true course set by her father, she’ll steer the doomed vessel right onto the shoals of liberalism.
______

( *  This skill of theirs is, of course, only part of how they get themselves husbands, nature having equipped them with no lack of other ... man-getting charms, shall we say?  Which is why we cannot resist them, right men?)

forget the intro music, you should start your shows with a sound clip like this one:

Fred,

Here’s Lou Dobbs on the elite drive to develop America and Canada onward from their current status as newly-transformed, multi-racial, civic entities to that of a simple, unified market.  Once new worlds won by Anglo-Saxons, they are apparently to be offered up to corporate control, their peoples racially splintered and incapable of unified resistance, living lives of eager consumption at best, waged poverty at worst.

I loved the radio broadcast – it’s great to hear the voice of someone whom you’ve previously only been reading on the internet.  I hope to hear a weekly broadcast – maybe keep it shorter in weeks when you don’t have a big broadcast planned, just to keep the ball rolling.  The little girl’s voice and message reminded me of a famous double act…shades of Prussian Blue, anyone?!

As for Soren interrupting, I think this was probably because you guys were speaking to each other remotely, most likely with VOIP software, meaning there was no way for Soren to silently indicate when GW should wrap up his point.  If you hook it up to a webcam, Soren could give a visual indication – or, maybe even post the video on the site instead of the audio.

Keep up the good work!

Posted by Voice on Thu, 11 Jan 2007 19:39 | #

the other idea to silently communicate would be to set up MSN or AOL messenger

Posted by Guessedworker on Thu, 11 Jan 2007 19:49 | #

KK,

Thanks.  Yes, one of the unforeseen dangers was the rather sudden lack of visual signals.  I found it very hard to communicate when I was about to finish up a particular answer.  In fairness to Soren, he already knew from the first interview that I am apt to just keep on talking ... and talking.  So I don’t mind that he pushed me around just a bit.  Obviously, it would be a different matter with a big name from outside - that’s why I went first.

Another, somewhat debilitating consequence of there being no visual signals was the way that our attempts at humour bombed.  That interview we did earlier, and decided to can, had more than its share of “That was a joke, GW” in it.  Aside from one Pythonesque moment when we got it right I don’t think we meshed humourously at all.  So not for nothing was there a slightly funereal air second-time around.

Voice,

That’s a good idea too.  Skype has a messaging facility that could be used to indicate an approaching “over!”.

The overtalking seems to be due to a transfer delay.

Next, an interview with Amalek?
