Paul Gottfried Answers “The Culture of Critique” with “Making Sense of the American Right” From Kevin MacDonald’s preface to the second edition of “Culture of Critique”:
Well it took Paul Gottfried nearly 10 years, but he has now published a book which, apparently, offers his theory for the origin of this general cultural shift: It’s the leftist media. See Gottfried’s own description, recently published at VDARE, of his book. I haven’t read Gottfried’s book, but no where does the word “Jew” or any derivative appear in his self-review of it except to decry the persecution of Jews by Nazis. The following, however, does appear:
So perhaps, in the preface for the next edition of CofC, Kevin MacDonald will have to state “but we still must develop theories for the origin of the leftist media”. Comments:2

Instead of sticking to that fundamental definition U.S. Conservatives royally screwed themselves up by trying to conform to some sort of theory. There is no theory beyond normalness and degenerateness and everybody, with or without a college diploma (preferably without ...), knows exactly what those two opposites are. Liberals want the latter for society, Conservatives the former. It’s as simple as that. As things now stand, Conservatives want the latter too. Who wants the former? The Normals. (Us.) 3

Posted by Maguire on Sat, 25 Aug 2007 20:32 | # Scimitar, “Doesn’t this presuppose that there actually was a real “conservative” movement at some point in the mid-twentieth century?” Yes, it does. “Was “conservatism” in the American sense ever about anything more than red-baiting, apologetics for capitalism, and distrust of government?” It also served as a vast recruiting office for the Jews’ global attack force, which was given the Orwellian name of “Department of Defense”. Other than this little of note ever appeared from the post-WWII American ‘Conservative’ movement. It has never been associated with excellence in the fields of economics, science, technology or anything else. The Conservative social policies, so necessary to the emotional recruitment of whites to political purposes that were inherently against their own interests, are otherwise only notable for their record of 100% failure of actual political implementation. It’s only notable achievement was behavior indistinguishable from ‘liberalism’ in the field of nonwhite racial promotion and replacement. This was only to be expected of a Shabbas Goy operation composed of third rate men and women remarkable only for personal greed far exceeding their natural abilities. College dropout and drug addict Rush Limbaugh returning from the negro island of Hispaniola with a bottle of Viagra in his luggage personifies the human quality of that ‘movement’ perfectly. Considered in toto, the post WWII American Conservative Movement elicits a physical repulsion similar to the normal person’s reaction to a puddle of dog vomit on a hot sidewalk. Maguire If this confuses any Republican ‘Conservatives’, I can only say I’ll make a more candid and less rosy eyed statement when time permits. 5

Posted by 2R on Sat, 25 Aug 2007 23:25 | # Conservatism today acts as a release valve for frustrated white people. The idea that a white person working at Wal-Mart would become a champion for “free trade” or corporate tax breaks is all you need to know regarding the conservative movement. The Democrat party used to dominate America because they benefited the white working class. As soon as the Democrats became the party of race mixing, the business elite were able to pick these whites up with some “traditional values” rhetoric. What else can explain the support the Republicans get from the white working and middle classes. Of course, the Conservatives do nothing to benefit whites. Once in a while Sean Hannity shows how much of a hypocrite Sharpton is and since someone is pointing this out, white people feel better for awhile. The average white man has a choice, either go for the party that is vehemently anti-white in the Democrats or go for the Republicans who at least don’t insult white people or call them “privileged.” This same Sean Hannity when asked about whites forming a congressional white caucus says “I don’t think any group should have a caucus, we’re all red, white and blue.” White people eat this up and while they do so, every minority group in the country is organizing for their interests and could care less about red, white , or blue. They only care about red, black, brown, yellow, and Jew. This is why I know White Nationalism has a good chance in America. Give whites an option that benefits them and they’ll go for it. The problem is, white people don’t know they’re allowed to have political movements that benefit them. That is why I believe one of the first ideas we must get through to whites is the idea that THEY HAVE INTERESTS TOO AND HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO PURSUE THEM!!!! This same hack Sean Hannity when asked about the North American Union said “I’m just glad we have friends to the North and the South, I think its good that we have a partnership with our friends.” Of course he didn’t care to talk about the fact that when this Union starts, that “workers” from Mexico will flood the US making the big Immigration “victory” that he takes credit for, null and void. This same Hannity will deceive his listeners into believing the NAU is very good, and opposing it will be “just like supporting the terrorists.” When the Jews push censorship on the Internet, or “Hate speech” laws, these same conservatives will be their biggest supporters. They’ll claim its too stop “terrorist hate groups” and the Wal-Mart employee I mentioned earlier will say “I’m not a Natzi or a terrorist so this won’t effect me.” As far as Gottfried is concerned, his job is to steer whites away from racialism and into “real” conservatism. 7

Sailers posts are vdare.com are painfully dull. Let the goddam Republican party die. When the Repuboican party finally expires ,only one thing can fill the vacum:one or more White Nationalist parties will sprout up and out. 8
Posted by 2R on Sun, 26 Aug 2007 00:43 | # Some of the writers at Vdare are good. Brimelow has defended the idea that in a “multicultural” State, whites have the right to look out for their interests. I’d rather there be a Vdare compared to no Vdare. Sailer has said some negative things about racialists and instead supports an idea called “citizenship-ism” which argues that everyone can be “assimilated.” Vdare is a good place for people just figuring out that they’re being exterminated. If they really get it, then they’ll keep digging until they find the whole truth. 9
Posted by Fred Scrooby on Sun, 26 Aug 2007 01:27 | # Frank’s right that the Republican Party has to be totally abandoned and left to die. 2008 could be the year this happens: if Ron Paul doesn’t get the GOP nomination he definitely should run as an independent. If he does, it’s not inconceivable he might win the election: extremely unlikely but conceivable. If he wins as an independent he’ll build a new party, which will spell the death of the GOP. GOOD FRICKING RIDDANCE TO BAD RUBBISH! 10

That is why I believe one of the first ideas we must get through to whites is the idea that THEY HAVE INTERESTS TOO AND HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO PURSUE THEM!!!!” Yes, of course, but they need baby steps to break out of the matrix. Noticing defamation and negative stereotypes about themselves running all through the media and entertainment corporations is one way. Another way is to notice that gang laws apply to people of color, while white gangs are hate groups and treated to no “understanding” or help. Or notice that white kids are over-represented in smoking tobacco and meth abuse, but receive no specific targeted support whereas all the under-represented kids get all kinds of public help in breaking their particular ethnic-related addictions. We do not need to tell them they have interests, we need to tell them at least one small interest that they can identify with. It’s not that they have interests in general about which we need to commuicate with them, it’s one specific issue that they need to know that they can understand. Simply opening the op-ed page in any daily paper and noticing who commands 90% of printed op-eds is another way. 11

At its core White nationalism is only the simple idea that Whites are morally entitled to pursue their own group interests. Since no one can seriously dispute that we do have interests, the vast machinery of “racism” was summoned into existence to deny our right to act upon them. Put differently, you become a White nationalist when you start thinking and acting without “racism.” 12

The “racism” accusation and anti-racism religion are a Jewish-invented-and-utilized tool for helping to pry Euro hands off the levers of power so Jewish hands can grasp those levers instead. All Jews know the “racism” accusation and the anti-racism religion don’t apply to them, only to their Eurochristian mortal enemy. The reason anti-racism has completely taken over our lives in the U.S. and every country the U.S. influences is that, just as in 1917 there was a Jewish revolution in Russia, in the 1960s there was a Jewish revolution in the United States: by the end of that decade Jewish hegemony over Euros in this country had been established, hegemony which has not been challenged effectively since. Apart from anti-racism, Martin Luther King worship, and ©The Holocau$t® having all been imposed now as our new religion, the various manifestations of Jewish victory in the revolution of the ‘60s include of course the 1965 “It’s Good For The Jews” Immigration Holocaust Act, the deliberately engineered general breakdown of sexual morality and plummeting Euro birthrate which have continued, the imposition of women’s lib culture and homosexualism with the suppression of Euro males and generalized federal-government attack on non-homosexual white men, the Hollywood transition from representing white men in films as white goy women’s love interest and sexual partners to representing Negro men as white goy women’s love interest and sex partners, the Jewish self-fulfilling-prophecy tactic of representing Negroes in every communications medium Jews control as already being the majority population in the U.S., and so on, and the long string of Jewish victories in the decades since. Jewish power over Euros since the Jewish revolution that was the ‘60s hasn’t been absolute: the Jewish power brokers didn’t want Nixon to be president, for the most part didn’t want Reagan to be president (a faction of Jewish neocons did), didn’t want the cataclysmic collapse of Soviet-Russian/Eastern-European communism of 1989-91 (Jewish neocons didn’t shed too many tears, angry as they were over Soviet-Russian treatment of Jewish dissidents and hindrance of Jewish emigration to Israel), didn’t want the reunification of the Western and Middle portions of “Germany,” don’t want our side, the side questioning race-replacement, to have internet access. What’s most important to Jews is getting Eurochristians race-replaced. Everyone knows how Jews are natural bolsheviks — as if they’re born with a gene for bolshevism or something, it’s so blatantly obvious and so blatantly universal among them — but race-replacement is even more important to them than bolshevism. That’s how important race-replacement is to them. In the universal Jewish drive to get Euros race-replaced you’re seeing what is pretty close to a truly primordial Jewish drive, a primordial Jewish desire, one which trumps lots of others including the Jewish drive to establish bolshevism. In this deep, intense Jewish desire to see Eurochristians changed into Negroes you’re seeing something close to the innermost heart, the central core, of what Jews want above all else. They’ll give up a lot, sacrifice a lot, if they can get Euros changed into Negroes (or Mexicans, Chinamen, Subcons, and so on, but Negroes are best for the purpose in their eyes, as that destroys Eurochristians with the most finality — not only really and truly gets Euros erased but visits a terrible vengeance on them for two thousand years of, as Jews see it, Eurochristian abuse of Jews: changing Euros into Negroes not only solves the Eurochristian problem for Jews but is the sweetest payback imaginable). 13

Posted by Amalek on Sun, 26 Aug 2007 20:12 | # “American conservatism” has always been somewhat oxymoronic as a national-political category, since the USA was founded in defiance of divinely and lawfully constituted authority: that of His Majesty King George III over the colonials. For those who take a lower line, it may be said that, pace Burke, the objects for which the rebellion was conceived were not weighty enough to merit it. The outbreak rather startled even its progenitors. Indeed after a few years of independence (cf France after the Revolution) the ex-colonials found that the federal government taxed them at least as heavily, and was apt to place at least as many curbs on their individual and collective freedom of action, as the easy yoke of British monarchy had done. The War of Independence was a putsch. Around one-third of white Americans opposed it and about the same number were indifferent. The origins of loyalty to the Crown in Canada was the flight or expulsion of Tories from America: the Nakba of the white race on that continent, inflicted by fellow whites. Such aspects of the late 18th century are glossed over today, but they nagged at the conscience of the newly independent nation. Like all polities stitched together by clumsy savants rather than allowed to grow organically over centuries, the USA of 1776 did not last. It perished 90 years later in what was then one of the bloodiest fratricidal struggles yet seen. Disobedience to divine authority was not mocked, and the sincs of the rebels were visited on the heads of their great-grandchildren. “God sees the truth, but waits.” (Tolstoi) The second, imperial Republic of Tyrant Lincoln which arose from these ashes is now beginning to break up: its incessant diversionary meddling overseas and racial dilution are of a piece, as anyone who has studied Gibbon on the later Caesars will recognise. American conservatives therefore stand on shaky ground, conceptually and in terms of historical analogy. Those such as Calhoun who defended the first republican dispensation, with its haughty oligarchies and formal racial divisions, have more to say—to us who wish political life to be congruent with the biological realities of mankind—than literary stylists, trimmers, evaders and false friends such as Russell Kirk or William Buckley. Contemporary thinkers such as Jim Kalb, whose political outlook is grounded in a vision of the transcendent, are nutritious even to a European fortunate enough to live in a still largely monoracial country. But Kalb, Tom Fleming and the like are too Catholic to confront the central question, in an age of mobility: how can people live tolerably free and comfortably (conservatives seek no more) in a “melting pot”? After 50 years of desegregation, Civil Rights, mob-handed immigration and neo-imperialist crusading, with its associated burdens on the purse and the cowed psyches of “homeland-secure” citizens, the answer for Americ a has been given loud and clear: civilised people cannot dwell tlerably free and comfortable in a multiracial society. The redivision of the 50 states on racial lines is a sine qua non for that modest desideratum. Yet American conservatives are tongue-tied about this necessity in a way that would have amazed their grandparents. Why? So much of the founding mythology of the USA is connected with rebellion, and with grandiose universalist rationales for it such as the Bill of Rights. Conservatives who articulate a philosophy of government derived from popular consent and blank-slate egalitarian opportunity for all upright-walking humans have ceded most of the territory to dead-end liberal fantasy before they have begun. Hence the ratchet effect: a shamefaced tagging after liberal pieties of yesteryear (“We are all humane interventionists now”) which has characterised “neoconservatism”, “compassionate conservatism” and other statist mutations of the old don’t-tread-on-me spirit. Buckley once said National Revoew ‘s job was to stand in the way of History yelling “Stop!”. A true conservative would have shouted “Turn back before it’s too late!” But ever since Burke, turncoat Whigs have been invading the conservative camp and telling us that we can only arrest “progress” for a wee while, not divert or reverse it. Burke’s axiom about adaptation has been worked to death, to the profit of conservativism’s foes. 15

Amalek meant, of course, to put “such as the Declaration of Independence” there, not the Bill of Rights. (Overall, a very good analysis by Amalek.) 16
Posted by torgrim on Mon, 27 Aug 2007 07:25 | # Amalek- Today, American conservatism and the Republican Party is an oxymoron. However, the colonials of the 18th century were very much following tradition. A conservatism that predated King George III by many centuries. Before there were so-called kings by the Grace of God there were kings that actually entered into contractual agreements with the legislative and judicial. The king was not above the law. The king was in fact held to a higher standard and could be disposed by the assembly. This comes from the eldest of Anglo Saxon law and tradition. The freemen, be they called Bonder or Yeomen rebelled at the yoke feudalism, imposed by the new conservatism of King George III, (king by the Grace of God). With the Rebellion, came the return to the traditional form of land ownership, at least initially, Allodial title. No little victory here! 17

Posted by James Bowery on Mon, 27 Aug 2007 16:23 | # I must wonder if there is a nontrivial connection between Fr.

With all the power in the person of king both secular and religious. Awesome power over mind and body. With the Rebellion, came the return to the traditional form of land ownership, at least initially, Allodial title. No little victory here! particularly given the events of 1066. 19
Posted by James Bowery on Wed, 29 Aug 2007 00:39 | # Apparently there is some agreement that the split between allodial and feudal land organization is somehow associated with the split between Roman and Orthodox Christianity. From Richard Pipes, “Property and Freedom”

Posted by torgrim on Thu, 30 Aug 2007 15:52 | # “there are other places where allodial thinking had some significant footing”.... The Constitution of 1814 Norway placed allodial title into that document due to the traditions of the farming class. Title to property can be challenged even today in Norway, if the property comes up for sale and if challenged, must be sold to ancestoral claim, first. It could be that the “viking” era conflicts in some instances, such as Novgorod, the Hebrities, Yorkshire, Orkneys etc. were about land law and fielty to the chieftain that enforced such law. The Normans originally were founded by Rollo the Ganger from Norway. This Hersir or noble was expelled from Norway due to banishment as an outlaw and was unprotected by law if he returned. He and his band or army settled in what was to become Normandy. There is some evidence that he or his heirs supported the “Sword Christianizing” kings of Norway, Olaf Trygvasson and Olaf the Saint.
