										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Originally written for inclusion in Frederick Seelig&#8217;s book </em>Destroy the Accuser<em>, this is Professor Revilo P. Oliver&#8217;s learned and insightful analysis of the homosexual question.<br />
</em></p>
<p class="Standard">by Revilo P. Oliver (pictured)</p>
<p>THE APPALLING STORY told by Mr. Seelig in the foregoing pages is much more than a personal tragedy that must excite sympathy and pity in every human heart. It is a story that is terrible in the full sense of that word: it should strike terror into the heart of every American who hopes that his children will not regret having been born.</p>
<p class="Standard">As America&#8217;s most eminent journalist suggests in his introduction to the present book, Mr. Seelig&#8217;s account should be verified in every particular by diligent and intrepid investigators. But such verification could only confirm what we all know &#8212; or would know, if we paid attention to the evidence that has been accumulating for decades.</p>
<p class="Standard">Mr. Seelig&#8217;s narrative confronts us with two facts that cannot be denied, and to which it would be cowardly and disastrous to close our eyes. Those facts are, of course, the ever-increasing perversion of law and judicial process in our country and the epidemic sexual perversion that has brought us to the verge of moral imbecility.</p>
<p class="Standard">The perversion of law &#8212; that is to say, the use of pseudo-legal processes to protect the guilty by destroying the witnesses to their guilt &#8212; is both common and notorious. It is so notorious that one can only wonder at the fatuous apathy of a public that does nothing about it because each individual believes that he personally can escape if he, like a rabbit, runs away and silently hides himself in the weeds. In New York City not long ago some forty persons watched from their windows for half an hour while a lone marauder attacked and murdered a woman in the street outside &#8212; watched and did nothing, did not even telephone the police, because each was &#8220;afraid to become involved.&#8221; There have been many incidents like that. The craven spectators belong to a form of life now prolific in the United States, but it requires no learning to see that over-sized rabbits, although able to stand on their hind legs, to jabber, and to vote, are a species that is biologically unfit to survive.</p>
<div id="attachment_2146" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a href="http://nationalvanguard.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Rogge_1939.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-2146" class="size-medium wp-image-2146" src="https://nationalvanguard.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Rogge_1939-300x421.jpg" alt="Oetje Rogg" width="300" height="421" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-2146" class="wp-caption-text"><em>Oetje Rogg</em></p></div>
<p class="Standard">The most notorious and ominous instance of the perversion of law occurred more than twenty years ago, and it has not yet excited the alarm and indignation that such outrages necessarily arouse in nations that are viable. The obscene and tragic farce called the &#8220;<a href="http://www.ihr.org/jhr/v06/v06p-23_Baxter.html">Sedition Trial</a>&#8221; began in 1942 and ended only in 1947. It was an act of Soviet-style terrorism carried out to intimidate Americans. Thirty men and women from all over the country, most of whom had never even heard of one another and who had in common only outspoken criticism of the Communist Conspiracy, were hauled to Washington in hand-cuffs and leg-irons, imprisoned in cells kept dark so that they could not read, and subjected to the most fantastic trial for &#8220;conspiracy&#8221; ever conducted outside the Soviet Union. The actual trial, based on pretenses so transparent that they cannot have been intended to deceive any intelligent man, was staged in 1944 by the infamous E.E. Eicher, a protege of Felix Frankfurter and Chief Justice of the District Court of the District of Columbia, in open collusion with an incredible Assistant Attorney, Oetje J. Rogge, another protege of Frankfurter and a long-time admirer of the Bolsheviks, whose part in the persecution earned him the distinction of being the personal guest of Stalin in the Kremlin a few years later. The scoff-law judge, Eicher, repeatedly and flagrantly violated the Constitution of the United States, innumerable laws, and the elementary principles of equity and justice on which all laws are based. But the vicious creature that lawlessly presided over a federal court did not succeed in doing the job for which he had been appointed. He died while articles of impeachment for malfeasance in office were in preparation and before he could be brought to trial in the Senate. His sudden death, reportedly from natural causes, averted an investigation and exposure that our enemies in Washington were desperately eager to prevent. The absurd case &#8212; ludicrous but for the suffering and irreparable loss inflicted on the hapless defendants and even their attorneys &#8212; finally came before an honest judge in 1946 and was dismissed as a &#8220;travesty on justice.&#8221; But the criminal elements in what is called our &#8220;Justice Department,&#8221; in an effort to distress their intended victims as much as possible, persisted until the case was finally terminated by order of the Court of Appeals on the last day of July, 1947.[1]
<p class="Standard">A more recent incident, which to a considerable extent parallels Mr. Seelig&#8217;s experience, was the kidnapping of General Edwin A. Walker in Oxford, Mississippi, on October 1, 1962. That crime, although evidently planned with care by the gangsters, was not a complete success, and the main outlines of the story, at least, are now known to everyone. General Walker, a great American and one of our most distinguished military men, had, at great personal sacrifice and with categorical rejection of the bribes offered to him, resigned from the Army so that he could not be silenced by the traitors and international vermin who had taken over &#8220;our&#8221; Department of Defense. The first attempt to silence him thereafter appears to have been well planned; up to a certain point, everything functioned with the precision of clockwork. In Oxford, Mississippi, one of the professional liars employed by the Associated Press concocted a vicious libel which that &#8220;news&#8221; service distributed throughout the country. [2] Then goons, many of them recruited from penitentiaries and all holding appointments as U.S. Marshals, went into action under the supervision of one Nicholas Katzenbach, who was on the spot as personal representative of Robert (&#8220;Bobby Sox&#8221;) Kennedy, then Attorney General of the United States. General Walker&#8217;s automobile was illegally stopped on a public highway, and, without warrant or charge of any kind, he was taken before a U. S. Commissioner, who, after practicing shameless deceit on the General, assuring him that he would be released on bond, fixed the bond at the fantastic sum of one hundred thousand dollars. This was evidently a miscalculation, for a bond of twice that amount became available as soon as the General&#8217;s friends and relatives were notified, and, to avoid acceptance of that bond, it was necessary for the responsible official of &#8220;our&#8221; government to go into hiding and to use other dodges until the second stage of the kidnapping was carried out.</p>
<p class="Standard">That was carried out with exemplary efficiency in less than three hours. In Washington, a person of Russian origins named Kantor, who calls himself Charles E. Smith and holds office as Chief Psychiatrist of the Federal Bureau of Prisons and was therefore another of Bobby Kennedy&#8217;s subordinates, dutifully decided that General Walker was probably insane. This man of science later testified that he was able to make this diagnosis at a distance of a thousand miles in a few minutes by simply reading the lies disseminated by the Associated Press. He may, however, have applied the definition devised by Dr. Brock Chisholm, the protÃ©gÃ© of Alger Hiss and head of the so-called World Health Organization that was founded under Hiss&#8217;s patronage to lead the agitation for &#8220;mental health.&#8221; <span class="pullquote">Dr. Chisholm officially holds that &#8220;mental health&#8221; depends on &#8220;eradication of the concept of right and wrong,&#8221; whence it follows, of course, that anyone who thinks there is a difference between good and evil is obviously insane.</span> Armed with this opinion from &#8220;Dr. Smith,&#8221; one James V. Bennett, holding office as U.S. Director of Prisons, telegraphed orders to the Marshals in Oxford, who hustled General Walker aboard a plane which at once took off for an unknown destination. It was probably hoped that the destination could be kept secret until the General had been disposed of. It became known, however, that the kidnappers had transported their victim across three state lines [3] to the concentration camp in Springfield, Missouri, that is officially known as a Federal Medical Prison. Mr. Seelig, in a part of his story not included in the present book, says that even before the General&#8217;s arrival, word went around among the prisoners, of whom he was one, that the &#8220;mental health experts&#8221; in charge were gloating over the prospect of having a distinguished American to torture.</p>
<div id="attachment_2068" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a href="http://nationalvanguard.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/2453765006.jpg"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-2068" class="wp-image-2068 size-medium" src="https://nationalvanguard.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/2453765006-300x334.jpg" alt="Major General Edwin A. Walker" width="300" height="334" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-2068" class="wp-caption-text"><em>Major General Edwin A. Walker</em></p></div>
<p class="Standard">General Walker was stripped of his clothing, thrown into a concrete dungeon, and had his food served to him on the floor &#8212; a nice detail which is, in itself, a sufficient index to the mentality of &#8220;mental health experts.&#8221; [4] The General, however, was too prominent. By midnight, the place where he was being held captive was known. His attorney, General Clyde J. Watts, flew to Springfield at once. Almost simultaneously, Americans all over the country, informed by telephone of what had happened, deluged the prison office with telegrams that indicated, in one way or another, that the prison would be held responsible for the General&#8217;s safety. It would have been impossible either to murder the General quietly or to destroy his mind by means of drugs or surgery without arousing national indignation. The Department of Justice made an attempt to hold him for ransom &#8212; the ransom demanded being a pledge that he would not tell the public what had happened. When this deal was rejected, the General was released without ransom on the sixth day after he was kidnapped. The plot thus ended in a fizzle, but Katzenbach was later rewarded for his part in it by being made head of the Department of Justice. [5]
<p>There have been many other instances of lawless violence perpetrated by persons who hold office through election or appointment and believe that their status as employees of the American people entitles them to abduct or kill Americans. A case that closely parallels Mr. Seelig&#8217;s was that of Mr. Fletcher Bartholomew, who, while &#8220;on loan&#8221; from his employers (General Mills in Minneapolis) to Radio Free Europe, a crypto-Communist propaganda station secretly operated by &#8220;our&#8221; Central Intelligence Agency in Munich, Germany, noticed how many homosexual degenerates were on the staff of the radio station. Not knowing what rules in Washington, Mr. Bartholomew thought it his duty to report his observations to the Consul-General of the United States in Munich and to the home office of the Central Intelligence Agency. Accordingly, on July 28, 1956, he was lured into an Army hospital by an Army chaplain and there assaulted by thugs, including a creature who held a commission as Captain in the U.S. Army. Mr. Bartholomew was overpowered by his assailants, strapped to a bed, and reduced to unconsciousness with hypodermic injections. Bound and kept under drugs, he was flown to the United States for incarceration as a &#8220;mental patient&#8221; in a hospital in which he could have promptly died of a &#8220;heart attack.&#8221; The plan miscarried, however, because Mrs. Bartholomew refused to be tricked or intimidated, and, when an honorable employee in the office of Radio Free Europe disclosed what had been done to her husband, was able to obtain the support of persons of some influence in the United States. The victim was therefore released. Two years later, in November and December, 1958, the shocking story was made public in a series of radio broadcasts by Fulton Lewis, Jr.</p>
<p>A somewhat similar crime was committed by the Department of Agriculture when an honest attorney first came on evidence of the thefts being committed by little Billie Sol Estes. The attorney, N. Battle Hales, was lured to the office of the Secretary of Agriculture, where he was detained by an administrative assistant while a goon squad was sent to destroy his files. His secretary, Mary Kimbrough Jones, a well-bred lady of fifty-one, tried to protect Mr. Hales&#8217; files and would have been a witness to their confiscation. The Federal gangsters accordingly kidnapped her and hustled her to a &#8220;mental health&#8221; prison for disposal. An influential and courageous Congressman learned of the crime and intervened in time. The lady was not killed, but her health was for a time broken by the brutality to which she was subjected before her release could be procured. [6]
<p>Many victims of such crimes have had no one to help them. <span class="pullquote">Governmental outrages have become commonplace, and the general public, apparently lost in stupor, seems not to care.</span> When it was disclosed in the <em>Congressional Record</em> (May 4, 1964) that the Attorney General of the United States had tampered with a Grand Jury by sending cases of whiskey and prostitutes (including female Marshals) to the jurors&#8217; rooms, everyone seemed to think that that was just normal. The recent disclosure that blackmailers employed by the Federal government are supplied at our expense with trucks that match those used by local telephone companies so that they can with greater ease violate Federal and State laws and tap the telephones of decent Americans whom the ruling Mafia wishes to harass (see <em>Counterattack</em>, January 28, 1966) &#8212; that disclosure, I predict, will stir scarcely a ripple of interest. If people remain indifferent while their scoff-law rulers weave a net of tyranny about them and their posterity, they cannot pretend to be morally superior to the African savages who sold their own children into slavery for a scrap of copper wire or a bit of red cloth.</p>
<p>No one thus far has dared openly to advocate criminal perversion of the law and ostensibly legal authority, and even the most zealous Socialists, if they cannot deny the facts, take refuge in equivocation and sophistry, pretending that each outrage was the result of a &#8220;mistake&#8221; or &#8220;misunderstanding.&#8221; Most of us can still recognize evil as evil, and will brook no argument that it is &#8220;social good.&#8221;</p>
<p>The other perversion with which we are confronted by Mr. Seelig&#8217;s tragic story is not so easily understood. Homosexuality is a disgusting and, in some of its aspects, recondite subject, and even the most concise summary of what is known about it would reach the dimensions of a treatise and require the use of languages other than English. There are, furthermore, many reasons why even the most conservative Americans may not recognize it as an evil or may underestimate it.</p>
<p>The American Republic was founded to maximize personal liberty by shackling government, which, as Washington said, is like fire: it is necessary for civilized life, but is devastating whenever it is not kept strictly confined and under control. Our tradition of freedom is still so strong that many American conservatives &#8212; especially those who call themselves &#8220;libertarians&#8221; &#8212; believe that police powers should not be used against sexual perverts or persons addicted to the use of opium, cocaine and other hallucinatory drugs. This view, of course, is predicated on the assumption that such vices harm only the individuals who voluntarily practice them &#8212; an assumption that is negated by both human history and the social realities of the present.</p>
<p>Men of our race naturally view with contempt the creatures who, though anatomically male, find a perverse and incomprehensible satisfaction in sexual relations with one another. And it is only natural to regard what we despise as ineffectual and therefore harmless, except, perhaps, to weaklings. This instinctive attitude is confirmed by the reasoned arguments of what is now called &#8220;Social Darwinism,&#8221; a term that is inappropriate since it suggests that the doctrine is of recent origin. Ever since men have reflected on the nature of civilized society, it has been obvious that the human race produces inferior beings that are, culturally and socially, waste products, so that the health of a high civilization, like that of a large city, depends on the provision of an adequate sewage system. That is something for which every rational political theory has had to make provision, not only in the West, but in other civilizations. [7] <span class="pullquote">It can be argued, therefore, that society should not attempt to check such vices as homosexuality and addiction to narcotics, since the more freely persons with such tendencies are allowed to indulge them, the less likely they are to leave offspring.</span> In this way, it is hoped, society will eventually be improved by elimination of the unfit. What this theory overlooks, apart from the practical difficulties that we need not enumerate, is that morality is not simply hereditary. Although there are born criminals, it is very unlikely that there are persons who are born with such innate qualities that they cannot be made criminals during their formative years by education, degrading associations, and insidious solicitation. Even if we grant that the faculty is hereditary, we must number moral integrity, like the ability to see or life itself, among the things that man can easily destroy, but never create.</p>
<p>Christianity, aside from a few bizarre but strangely recurrent heresies, has always used Sodom and Gomorrah as examples of what is justly abominated by both God and man. But it is the tragedy of our time that Christianity no longer provides the social cohesion that made our modern world possible. For a considerable part of our population, including a very influential part of it, the faith of our fathers has become a primitive myth, explicitly or tacitly rejected by those who would think in scientific or practical terms. More important than the number of agnostics and atheists, however, is the fact that the Christian churches have been invaded, and many have been captured, by so-called &#8220;modernists,&#8221; who in their pulpits cynically exploit what they privately regard as superstition, and, by peddling the sentimental hokum called &#8220;the social gospel,&#8221; pervert and destroy the very foundations of the Christianity in whose name they profess to speak. They are the worthy successors of the priests of Cybele that <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apuleius">Apuleius</a> described in the eighth book of his <em>Metamorphoses</em>, and it is not remarkable that they, instead of expounding the Christian doctrine concerning homosexuality, use their pulpits to defend or even commend a vice of which some, at least, have a more than theoretical knowledge.</p>
<p>Sexual desire, although not so strong a force as hunger, greed, or vanity, is undoubtedly a biological force in every human being, and this fact has made it throughout history a favorite means of manipulating and exploiting men and women. It has been used for that purposes by witch-doctors and shamans of every age, including our own. When Sigmund Freud crawled from the sewers of Vienna with the discovery that persons not so degenerate as he were &#8220;sick&#8221; and needed to be cured by sexual magic, he founded an extremely profitable racket. In an age of waning religion, <span class="pullquote">the notion that sex is virtually the whole of human life and the only source of happiness fascinated the credulous; and, to an extent seldom equaled in the most orgiastic cults of barbarism, the indulgence of the sexual appetite has become the religion of our contemporaries.</span> The cult has, of course, been propagated enthusiastically by the disciples of John Dewey, who have made the public schools an instrument for promoting &#8220;democracy&#8221; by injecting into the tender minds of children the belief that life is merely a series of animal satisfactions. As a result, our nation is now suffering from an erotic monomania that ominously resembles the sexual frenzy that swept over France immediately before the insane blood-bath that is euphemistically called the French Revolution. In this context, homosexuality seems to be but one aspect of a much larger problem &#8212; an aspect which, since it is particularly repulsive, it is easy to ignore.</p>
<p>Finally, many Americans still regard homosexuality as a moral and social problem that has little relation to politics and to our most immediate and terrible danger, the Bolshevik takeover which, despite all the protests and activity of belatedly awakened Americans in recent years, seems to be progressing with the methodical velocity of an irresistible Juggernaut. In fact, very few saw a connection between the two evils before the publication of R.G. Waldeck&#8217;s concise and excellent article, &#8221;Homosexual International,&#8221; in <em>Human Events</em>, September 29, 1960. It was only then that people began to notice that, in the Western world, the lairs of treason are invariably also the nesting-grounds of degenerates.</p>
<p>Perverts are disgusting, but you cannot afford to ignore them. Mr. Seelig&#8217;s story will give you some indication of the power that those furtive and foul creatures have attained over you &#8212; and there are a thousand pieces of evidence to confirm that estimate.</p>
<p>The cause of the dark perversion of human instincts is obscure. Homosexuality is found among many tribes of savages, but that fact has little relevance here. Civilization is by definition the process whereby human beings repress and prevent the conduct and behavior that is characteristic of savages.</p>
<p>The most common explanation of homosexuality in societies that can be called civilized is that advanced by the great traveler and ethnological observer, Sir Richard Burton, in the commentary appended to his famous translation of the <em>Thousand and One Nights</em>. For Sir Richard, the prime cause is geographic and racial. He speaks of the Sotadic Zone, that is to say, the Near East, which is dominated by the Semitic and Hamitic peoples among whom the vice is inveterate and taken for granted, together with the adjacent areas of the Mediterranean basin that those peoples occupy or have penetrated and influenced. It is true that among those inhabitants of the Sotadic Zone, homosexuality is regarded as normal, and Sir Richard believed that that was the consequence of certain anatomical peculiarities that are generally found in males and females of those races. Other observers, especially those who, during the French occupation, observed behavior in the Jewish and Moslem quarters of cities in North Africa, believe that anatomical differences are much less important than the prevalent custom of subjecting infants to sexual abuse by adults and of sanctioning among children in their earliest years an animal-like and perverse sexuality of which most Americans would believe children of three to ten years physiologically incapable. For some of the highly unpleasant details, see <em>The Cradle of Erotica</em> by Allen Edwardes and R.E.L. Masters (New York, Julian Press, 1963).</p>
<p>Whatever the reason, homosexuality is normal in the Sotadic Zone. [8] That merely means that we shall have to restrict our inquiry to Western man, who seems naturally to regard the perversion with instinctive abhorrence.</p>
<p>That does not mean that the problem can be reduced to simple racial terms. For one thing, we know virtually nothing about our ancestors in the stages of savagery and barbarism through which we assume that they must have passed. The nearest we can come to them, perhaps, is by considering the Germanic tribes who lived on the borders of the Roman Empire, which they later overran and sacked, and then occupied. Homosexuality was not unknown among those tribes, but they disapproved of it, and they signified their disapproval by simply hanging perverts to the nearest tree or, preferably, sinking them in mud under a weight of stones, if a swamp was conveniently available. In recent years, archaeologists have recovered quite a number of such bodies from peat bogs in which they were preserved. Those tribes were, of course, pagans, and I insist on that detail because the persons who distort history to poison our culture will assure you that disapproval of homosexuality is something peculiar to Christianity.</p>
<p>Among the Greeks, the extraordinarily gifted people who were the real creators of our civilization, homosexuality appears to have been an alien corruption. It was unknown in the Homeric epics, although in later times perverts, who are incapable of understanding masculine friendship and always seek any pretext to justify themselves, tried to read homosexual implications into the comradeship of Achilles and Patroclus. The aetiological myths all suggest a foreign origin: one states that the vice was invented by Laius in Thebes (where there was a pre-Greek Semitic element), and another claims that it originated in Crete (where the Mycenean Greeks ruled a native population of undetermined ethnic origin) &#8212; and we know that centuries later, as Aristotle (<em>Pol.</em>, II, 10, 9 = 1271a) remarked with astonishment, on that island homosexuality was permitted by law, perhaps as a means of avoiding overpopulation.</p>
<p>At Athens, homosexuality appears to have been rare before the demoralizing Peloponnesian War, and certainly did not receive any kind of general sanction until long thereafter. It was forbidden by one of Solon&#8217;s laws, which was still enforced as late as 346 B.C., when one of the most prominent Athenian politicians, Timarchus, was prosecuted under that law and was probably convicted, although one account says that he committed suicide before the jury brought in its verdict. Plato has himself been suspected, not without reason, of homosexuality, but it is noteworthy that when he elaborated a model constitution for a city-state, he absolutely forbade (<em>Leg.</em>, VIII, 8 = 841d) sexual relations between males.</p>
<p>At Sparta, where, we are told, paederasty flourished early, it was forbidden, under the same penalty as incest, by a law attributed to Lycurgus that was still in force in the time of Xenophon (<em>De rep. Lac</em>., 2, 13). It would be tedious to make the rounds of the other Greek states, or to try to determine at what time and under what influences the old legislation and the attitudes that seem to have been natively Greek were made obsolete by toleration and corruption. We may all suspect that first the tolerance and finally the vogue of homosexuality had much to do with the decline of the Greek world, but we cannot prove that, for we cannot show what Greek history, turbulent with internecine, and, in the end, suicidal wars, would have been without that factor. [9]
<p>The Romans, to whom we owe more than to the Greeks, felt Western man&#8217;s natural abhorrence of homosexuality. <span class="pullquote">Although degenerates were doubtless born from time to time, the contempt universally felt for perverts probably sufficed to restrain their tendencies, and when it did not, the stern ethos of the nation made short work of them.</span> As late as 125 B.C., when the old paternal authority had been greatly restricted, a Roman of the old school, Q. Fabius Maximus Servilianus, who had held the highest offices in the Roman Republic, peremptorily put his own son to death for homosexuality. Such was the unflinching moral code that made the Romans great. It was only after Rome had become a dominant power in the world by decisively defeating the Carthaginians (202 B.C.), the Macedonians (197), and the Seleucid Empire (188), and had suffered a great influx of aliens, including Orientals, that we see the beginning of moral decay.</p>
<p>In 186 B.C., just two years after the Roman legions had shattered the power of the richest and most populous empire of the Hellenistic Age, the Roman Senate, by a still extant decree, tried to suppress the Bacchanalian rites of a cult that, originating in Asia Minor, had reached Rome by way of Etruria, and used the traditional &#8220;freedom of worship&#8221; as a cover for nocturnal orgies of promiscuity and perversion. Investigation disclosed that the alien &#8220;religion&#8221; was really a secret conspiracy that worked systematically to seduce and corrupt adolescent boys and girls, and practiced, in addition to sexual profligacy, such associated arts as the forging of wills and murder by poison. And, significantly, a majority of the physiologically male members of the Bacchanalian conspiracy were homosexuals, although the cult made available to them a copious supply of young and libidinous women ready and eager for anything. (For a full account, see Livy, XXXIX, 8-19). All that sounds quite modern, doesn&#8217;t it?</p>
<p>In 186 B.C., therefore, we have the first clear instance in recorded history of a clandestine conspiracy engaged in a revolt against civilization by using sex to entice adolescents into a life of depravity and crime &#8212; evidently for the sheer pleasure of dragging human beings down to the moral nihilism in which the conspirators find a strange satisfaction. And homosexuality was a major part of a phenomenon that was to be repeated over and over again in the subsequent history of Western civilization.</p>
<p>In 186 B.C., intelligent Romans had to face a truth that few Americans are willing to face today: perverts are formidable, not because they practice a disgusting vice among themselves, but because they are driven by a demonic urge to corrupt and defile all mankind, to propagate not only perversion but every form of crime. From 186 B.C. to 1966 A.D. the evidence constantly indicates that for many degenerates the physical pleasure that they derive from their perversion is quite secondary to the pleasure they derive from ensnaring and degrading children and adolescents who would otherwise become decent men and women.</p>
<p>At Rome, the repression of the Bacchanalians checked the infection for a time, but not permanently. In 149 B.C. or thereabouts the Romans enacted the Lex Scantina <em>de stupro cum masculo</em>, which provided a heavy penalty for perversion. As everyone knows, such laws cannot prevent; they can only discourage, and their most important force is expression of the standards of the society that enacts them. Rome, however, was suffering from creeping moral paralysis that the Senate and conservative magistrates to the very end of the Republic sought to combat by such measures as the expulsion of subversive aliens (which was only temporary, since they, aided by wealth and influence, began to filter back almost at once) and measures to limit the spread of Oriental cults.</p>
<p>The Lex Scantina remained on the books; there were prosecutions under it as late as the Second Century after Christ and perhaps later. But the feeling that had inspired it was gradually eroded, and although homosexuality was never officially legalized, as has now been done in the State of Illinois and will probably be done in our entire nation as soon as Earl Warren gets around to it, the law became virtually a dead letter. Before the end of the Republic, Roman writers who wanted to be thought &#8220;intellectual&#8221; and &#8220;sophisticated,&#8221; imitating the literary fashions of Alexandria, which was the New York of the ancient world, did not hesitate to confess &#8212; perhaps falsely in some cases &#8212; that they were paederasts. And, paralleling what happens in the United States today, one of Cicero&#8217;s correspondents thought it a delightful joke when a homosexual pervert was prosecuted under the Lex Scantina before a presiding judge who was himself a pervert. Such a society is fit only for despotism, and despotism was, of course what the Romans got &#8212; a despotism under which the old Roman families quickly died out and were replaced by the descendants of their slaves.</p>
<p>We may take our leave of the Romans by reminding ourselves that the Emperor Nero, after murdering his mother in 59 A.D. and his first wife soon thereafter, officially and with all legal and religious ceremony married one of his slave boys, whom he had castrated for the purpose, and also posed himself as a timid and blushing bride when he was, with equal solemnity, married to a lusty slave whom he had emancipated to have as husband. It is not quite certain whether these auspicious nuptials were solemnized before or after he kicked his second wife to death, but it is clear that Nero was as free of prejudices as progressive educators are trying to make our children. The imperial animal was finally eliminated by the Army, but the really significant thing is that his youthful zest, exhibited in these and a hundred other exploits of equal charm, made him a symbol of &#8220;democracy,&#8221; and he was so beloved by a large part of the populace that for decades after his death the Empire was disturbed by imposters who, claiming to be Nero, had no difficulty in attracting a large and enthusiastic following and flourished until regular troops were sent to put them down. A Great Society always knows its own.</p>

<p>I cannot pretend to trace the history of homosexuality in the Western world. Before the inevitable fall of the Roman Empire, Christianity, which explicitly identifies homosexuality as an offense against God, became the established religion, and when the worm-eaten fabric of the Empire collapsed, its territory in Western Europe was occupied by fresh and vigorous peoples, and since many of them were Germanic they brought with them an instinctive repugnance toward perversion that re-enforced the teachings of the Church. As a generalization, therefore, we may say that in the Western world, from the fall of the Roman Empire to the time of the French Revolution, homosexuality was forbidden and punished by very stringent laws, both ecclesiastical and civil. And those laws were enforced, even against persons of high rank. In England, for example, Lord Audley, Earl of Castlehaven, was convicted of sodomy and executed in 1631. And as late as 1810, at least, a commissioned officer in the British Army and an enlisted man were executed for the same offense. That may have been the last time the death penalty was enforced. In the same year, the persons caught by the police in a raid on a homosexual brothel in London were merely sentenced to the pillory, but that was not exactly light punishment since an indignant populace saw to it that they returned to prison looking more like heaps of garbage than human beings.</p>
<p>Of course, during the fourteen centuries covered by our generalization the laws and the social standards they represented were frequently violated. That is merely what we should expect, since violations could normally be detected only when the violators themselves advertised their offenses. But there were many corrupting influences at work. It would take pages to list them, but it should be noted that some of the most important were anti-Christian movements disguised as Christian heresies or as occult &#8220;science.&#8221; As everyone knows, a common English term for sodomists is <em>bugger</em>, which is derived from the French <em>bougre</em>, which in turn comes from a slurred pronunciation of <em>Bulgar</em>. The reference is to a sect of heretics, more properly called Bogomils, who held Manichaean doctrines, a few of which, such as denial of the divine birth of Christ and insistence on social and racial equality, are now held by leaders of the National Council of Churches. The Bogomils, who were notorious buggers, were transported from Asia Minor to Bulgaria by the Byzantine Empire, and from their new home they sent streams of zealous missionaries both eastward into what is now Russia and westward into Europe, where, from the Tenth to the Fourteenth Centuries, they planted various local heresies, notably the Patareni in northern Italy and the Albigenses in southern France. One need not believe that all members of the latter sects adopted the sexual practices of the evangelists, but the Bogomil missionaries must have exerted a very considerable influence. Again, along the shifting boundaries of Europe and especially during the Crusades Europeans came into contact with the Semitic peoples among whom homosexuality is accepted as normal, and one result was that the powerful order of Knights Templar, who held strongholds and rich fiefs throughout Europe until they were suppressed, were not only noted as homosexuals but evidently made sexual perversion a part of their ritual. [10] Throughout the Middle Ages and even in the Renaissance systems of magic, including necromancy and most of alchemy, derived from the Kabbalah, were peddled throughout Europe, partly by enthusiasts who were victims of their own (often drug-induced) hallucinations, but principally, we may be sure, by &#8220;intellectuals&#8221; who had found a convenient means of exploiting the credulity of wealthy suckers. From such occultism it was an easy and natural progress to witchcraft and Satanism, and, as two examples &#8212; the infamous Gilles de Rais, Marechal de France in the Fifteenth Century, and the notorious Aleister Crowley in the Twentieth [11] &#8212; will suffice to remind us, the worship of evil has always included the practice of homosexuality as an emphatic repudiation of the prejudices that prevent normal men from joyously wallowing in every kind of filthy self-debasement and disgusting crime.</p>
<p>There were other influences, less spectacular but equally insidious. No one can deny that some perverts have a high degree of intellectual ability, including literary talent &#8212; one could, for example, compile a very large anthology of well-written poems by homosexuals from Straton of Sardis (Second Century) to Walt Whitman, Oscar Wilde, and Paul Verlaine; and many of our contemporaries attribute high literary merit to the novels of Andre Gide, who is the foremost apologist for homosexuality in our time, and to the morbid maunderings of Marcel Proust, who slightly disguised his activities by giving his boyfriends feminine names. I can here mention only two men of letters of the Fifteenth Century in Italy, where, perhaps because the population was so heterogeneous, the perversion seems to have been especially common. Antonio Beccadelli, better known as Panormita, in the collection of obscene poems entitled <em>Hermaphroditus</em>, describes paederasty in terms which suggest that it was, like addiction to opium or hashish, a pleasurable habit that could not be broken &#8212; but it is uncertain whether he was writing a description or propaganda. More significant are the confessions of Pacificus Maximus in his <em>Hecatelegium</em>: as a child he was sent to a grammar school in which the headmaster, a secret but enthusiastic paederast, insisted on freeing all his pupils from their inhibitions so that he could have fun with them. In the Fifteenth Century, parents were evidently as negligent or as awed by educational experts as they are today, and <span class="pullquote">I regret to report that the progressive headmaster was not hanged.</span> In fact, he seems to have flourished. And there were many like him.</p>
<p>Perhaps the most important factor of all was one that the new science of genetics has only partly explained: biological degeneration. Here is an example. Louis XIV of France, although he brought on France such evils as highly centralized government and military defeats, was undoubtedly a man. He had, however, a brother, who was almost certainly legitimate, Philippe, Duc d&#8217;Orleans, who always wore women&#8217;s underclothing and was only with difficulty restrained from appearing at court in skirts. This engaging creature was, as protocol required, married to an English princess, but became furiously jealous of his legal wife because he thought her attractive to men whom he wanted to love him. So important a personage as the King&#8217;s brother naturally had no lack of ambitious courtiers willing to use him as a mistress, and we are not astonished to find him &#8212; or, to be more precise, it &#8212; engaged in scabrous political intrigues and suspected of having instigated several secret assassinations. Louis disliked Philippe, but he was not enough of a Roman to purge his own family, nor was he enough of a Christian to feel effective concern at harm done to others. The royal pervert was like an open sore on the body of France when that nation was dominant in Europe. No one can estimate how much harm was done by the conspicuous creature, not merely in spreading perversion, but in exciting every kind of demoralization, including contempt for the whole society and even the religion that permitted so despicable a being to hold rank next to the very highest and to receive honor and flattery, however hypocritical.</p>
<p>We must always bear in mind the fact that homosexuality is commonly associated with perversion of all the faculties and instincts normal to Western men. One example of many is Enrique el Impotente, who was King of Castile from 1454 to 1474. It is significant, I think, that this pathological specimen, who admitted that he could not stand women and had his queen impregnated by an obliging courtier, had an olfactory sense such that he considered the odor of burning leather the most delicious smell in the whole world, with the possible exception of the aroma emanating from the skull of a long-dead horse. It is probably not a coincidence that he had a tender heart for criminals, preventing the execution of murderers and other malefactors whenever he learned of their crimes in time to pardon them, and recruiting those who had distinguished themselves by the number or the sadistic ferocity of their murders into his own bodyguard, which was otherwise composed of imported Moslems. Like the modern &#8220;Liberal,&#8221; however, Enrique had a heart that was tender only for criminals and felt no compassion for decent people. When Enrique &#8220;farmed out&#8221; the extremely lucrative privilege of apportioning and collecting taxes (for a percentage) to a wealthy usurer, Rabbi Josef of Segovia, and one of the latter&#8217;s colleagues, he authorized those remarkable officials to put to death <em>without even a hearing</em> any citizen who was remiss in paying whatever they chose to demand as taxes. Enrique was also, of course, a pacifist, although he was cunning enough to reach a secret understanding with Spain&#8217;s enemies and then declare a fake war as a pretext for extorting more taxes from his suffering people. Enrique, who was also an expert at inflating currency and debasing the coinage by adulterating the silver, had many other progressive ideas. He undoubtedly knew what he was doing when he placed his twelve-year-old half-brother, whom he later poisoned, under a tutor who was a notorious pervert and who is said to have been successful in that branch of education, although there is some doubt and the boy had manhood enough to defend his sister, Isabella, a few years later when Enrique tried to make her promiscuous at the age of fourteen. Whatever hereditary taints account for Enrique, they evidently did not reach his half-sister, who eventually succeeded him on the throne and through whose courage and ability the Kingdom of Castile became the Kingdom of Spain.</p>
<p>The foregoing comments are not a history of perversion, nor are they intended to show (what it would be obviously impossible to prove) that <em>all</em> homosexuals are inhuman monsters. But for at least twenty-two centuries in the Western world, homosexuality has consistently been a factor in repudiation of <em>all</em> morality and hence of civilization itself, which is obviously impossible without a general and instinctively accepted moral code. It is not a question of individuals who indulge in private practices that we consider loathsome and that are, in Christian terms, offenses against the Creator. What we must consider is a species that derives joy from the corruption of our children to its own level and seems driven by an urge to destroy us. As the author of the article in <em>Human Events</em> that I cited above concisely puts it, the members of the Homosexual International &#8220;constitute a worldwide conspiracy against society.&#8221; And that conspiracy is in our time a subsidiary or ally of the International Communist Conspiracy, not because homosexuals are subject to blackmail, as charitable people are inclined to suppose, but because their instincts lead them to the same frenzied hatred of Western civilization.</p>
<p>That &#8212; I repeat &#8212; is not to say that all homosexuals are sadists. Of the literary men whom I mentioned above, Wilde seems to have had no criminal tendencies; Verlaine, it is true, tried to kill his lover, Rimbaud (who had participated in the Communist outbreak in Paris in 1870), but he probably had good reason; Gide eventually became &#8220;disillusioned&#8221; with the Communists and even criticized his former pals; and Proust was virtually a hermit.</p>
<p>It is entirely possible, even probable, that there are more than a few secret homosexuals who have no desire or impulse to destroy mankind, and we should all explicitly recognize that probability. Furthermore, it would be wrong to claim that the more violent homosexuals are all Communists. One thinks, for example, of two wealthy and brilliant undergraduates in the University of Chicago named Loeb and Leopold, who are still remembered because in Chicago in the 1920&#8217;s they kidnapped and killed a young boy of their own race and social circle just for the perverted fun of killing him. One thinks also of their contemporary, Fritz Haarman, another distinguished homosexual who attracted some attention in Germany when it was discovered that for many years he had been disposing of his boyfriends, as soon as he became tired of them, by tearing their throats open with his teeth and then grinding them up for sausage, which he sold in a delicatessen. There is no indication that Loeb, Leopold, or Haarmann were affiliated with the Communist Conspiracy, although they certainly had the right instincts for leadership in the international revolution.</p>
<p>We must all face the highly unpleasant fact that homosexuality is usually associated (either as cause or effect &#8212; it would be hard to say which) with sadism, [12] and that sadism in turn, when it does not find an outlet in acts of brutal violence, inspires the passion for &#8220;equality&#8221; and &#8220;social justice&#8221; that masquerades as &#8220;idealism&#8221; and is accepted as such by unsuspecting persons who do not see that the only purpose of the &#8220;idealists&#8221; is to incite the violence and brutality that will give them a vicarious delight even if they have no opportunity to participate in it personally. [13] The very word <em>sadism</em>, by which we designate the lust to inflict pain and degradation on others, is derived from the name of an infamous pervert, the &#8220;Marquis&#8221; de Sade, author of what are probably the vilest books ever written, who was precisely what we should expect: a great apostle of the doctrine that all men are born equal (&#8220;La nature nous a fait naitre tous egaux&#8221;), a vociferous advocate of what his successors call &#8220;economic democracy,&#8221; and a close associate and collaborator of Marat, Robespierre, and other blood-thirsty leaders of the French Revolution. De Sade&#8217;s career is merely typical: he was twice condemned to death for atrocious crimes of the kind to which he has given his name, but the sentences, unfortunately, were not carried out; he was in prison in 1790, when he was released by fellow idealists to participate in the &#8220;struggle for human rights,&#8221; and, in addition to orating about <em>egalite and fraternite</em>, he personally had lots of fun for thirteen years until Napoleon came to power and sent him back to prison. Also typical of the born agitator is the undergraduate at the University of Chicago who in his diary deplored his &#8220;inability to control society&#8221; and to &#8220;run the world.&#8221; He determined to make reprisals for the social injustice of which he was thus a victim, commenting &#8220;Since I have devoted more time to psychology, it should be easy. . . .<em>I shall attack human</em> nature to my fullest extent.&#8221; [14] He could have had a brilliant career as an &#8220;intellectual&#8221; undermining civilized society in the name of &#8220;brotherhood&#8221; and &#8220;the underprivileged,&#8221; but the pervert was so impatient that he committed three murders and was eventually caught.</p>
<p><span class="pullquote">Homosexuality is only one of several factors in the decline of the West, but it is an important one.</span> As is well known &#8212; at least since the publication of Anatoli Granovsky&#8217;s <em>I Was an N.K.V.D. Agent</em> (New York, Devin-Adair, 1962) &#8212; the Communist Conspiracy maintains in Russia two training schools for sexual athletes. The graduates of one college are heterosexual experts and specialize in the capture and manipulation of promiscuous females who, through wealth or marriage, hold positions of political power or influence in Western Europe or the United States. The graduates of the other school, which may be the more important, are perverts trained to attract perverts. The agents thus trained are, of course, a part of the elaborate mechanism by which the Bolsheviks now control and paralyze civilized nations. But the Conspiracy is thus exploiting a condition that it has helped create. It is undoubtedly true that the international vermin have been working for centuries, with the secrecy and patience of termites, to destroy Western civilization by eating away all its beams and rafters &#8212; by debauching and defiling every part of our culture from art and music to science and philosophy; and they have worked above all to destroy morality, the foundation on which all civilization must rest. That much is certain. The only question is how much of our present plight is the result of the termites&#8217; work and thus reparable, if we still have the will and strength to act in time, and how much is the result of natural rot, through biological deterioration or human unwillingness to bear for long the burden of high civilization, and therefore inevitable. And that is a question that I see no means of answering with precision and certainty. [15]
<p>Confronted, as we are, by cunning, insidious, and implacable enemies in our midst, we dare not disregard the ever increasing prevalence of homosexuality in our society. As R.G. Waldeck summarized it in <em>Human Events</em>, &#8220;the (homosexual) conspiracy has spread all over the globe; has penetrated all classes; operates in armies and in prisons; has infiltrated into the press, the movies, and the cabinets; and it all but dominates the arts, literature, theater, music and TV.&#8221;</p>
<p>So long as the degenerates were furtive and discreet, the American public had no conception of their number and power.</p>
<div id="attachment_2147" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="http://nationalvanguard.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/sumner-welles-.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-2147" class="size-medium wp-image-2147" src="https://nationalvanguard.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/sumner-welles--300x322.jpg" alt="Sumner Welles" width="300" height="322" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-2147" class="wp-caption-text"><em>Sumner Welles</em></p></div>
<p>To be sure, ever since Franklin Roosevelt led his great horde of traitors and degenerates into our capital, everyone who knew anything about the operations of Washington knew that perverts held important posts, and after the Acting Secretary of State, <a href="http://www.reformation.org/welles-confidential-magazine.html">Sumner Welles</a>, was beaten by one of his Negro &#8220;husbands&#8221; in a fit of jealousy, people began to suspect that there was more than wit to the Washingtonian humor [16] that took it for granted that &#8220;our&#8221; State Department was dominated by perverts. But even so, Americans, with their habitual optimism, encouraged by the silence of the newspapers and magazines, liked to believe that the infection was more or less confined to that one department of government or, at least, was not very widespread. And, of course, ever since the establishment of Roosevelt&#8217;s conception of the Presidency as an office to be used to impose a totalitarian dictatorship on the American boobs and to beat them into slavery to &#8220;world government,&#8221; the great and illegal powers of that office have been used to protect perverts. In 1950, for example, an investigating committee under the chairmanship of Senator Hoey (see Senate Document 241, Eighty-first Congress) ascertained that there were at least seven thousand perverts in positions of importance in all agencies and departments of the Federal government (including, <em>nota bene</em>, the Department of Justice), but the testimony was suppressed by an Executive Order from the White House, in open and flagrant violation of the Constitution, and the Senate of the United States, a once august body, supinely submitted to that usurpation.</p>
<p>The general public had little comprehension of such matters until the perverts, with arrogant confidence that they &#8212; or, to be more precise, their Bolshevik masters and protectors &#8212; already had the Western world by the throat, began to advertise themselves and to claim openly their &#8220;civil rights&#8221; as a &#8220;minority group&#8221; comparable to Jews and Negroes. This concerted crawling out from the woodwork seems to have begun in 1951 with the establishment of the &#8220;World Federation for the Rights of Man&#8221; and the publication in West (yes!) Germany of a magazine for perverts, <em>Die Insil</em>. (By this time, of course, every Western country, including the United States, has a number of periodicals published in its own language and specifically addressed to perverts.) Even so, most Americans were astonished, or even shocked, when the President of the Washington chapter of a league of &#8220;male&#8221; perverts, the Mattachine Society, [17] under oath before a Congressional Committee, testified that there were a quarter of a million homosexuals in Washington, and that at least two hundred thousand and probably more were employed in the Federal government. There was, perhaps, some slight additional shock at the discovery that the Mattachines&#8217; head was seconded by Professor M.H. Freedman of the Law School of George Washington University. (Alas, poor George! He was not a &#8220;fellow of infinite jest,&#8221; and I fear that <em>his</em> gorge would rise, if he knew that Freedmans were capering under his name.) Prof. Freedman, a choice fruit from the hothouse of Harvard University, refused to state under oath whether or not he was a Mattachine, but appeared on behalf of the hoary old American Civil Liberties Union to argue that associated perverts have a right to pose as a &#8220;charitable&#8221; organization and solicit contributions from the public to disseminate propaganda for perversion. It was that impudent solicitation in the District of Columbia that brought the matter before the Congressional Committee of which the Honorable John Dowdy of Texas was chairman, and so led to the published hearings on House Resolution 5990 in August, 1963, and January, 1964. Congressman Dowdy is a Democrat, but I need not add that the Democratic Administration in Washington used every resource of the United States Treasury to prevent his re-election in November, 1964.</p>
<p>The perverts became even bolder when, on May 29, June 26, and July 31, 1965, they threw a line of pickets around the White House, the Pentagon, and the Civil Service Commission to &#8220;protest&#8221; against &#8220;discrimination.&#8221; Most of the pickets, including clergymen, [18] wore trousers; a few wore skirts. There was no medical examination to determine to what sex, if any, they belonged. Their banners claimed that &#8212; despite the <em>discreaminashion</em> of which they complained &#8212; there were a quarter of a million of them ensconced in the Federal government&#8217;s bureaucracy, another quarter of a million snugged down in the Armed Services, and a total of 15,000,000 of them in the United States, all, presumably, ready to vote for their heart&#8217;s desire. The first figure is probably correct; the second probably counts former members of the Armed Services, including the many direct commissions directly ordered by Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt; and the third is undoubtedly an exaggeration for purposes of political blackmail, since the organized perverts, who have long maintained secret slush funds to elect secret perverts to high political office, especially in California, came partly into the open in 1965 with the establishment of a &#8220;Society for Individual Rights&#8221; (more commonly designated as SIR &#8212; fawncy that!) for the avowed purpose of establishing &#8220;a homosexual voting bloc as a political factor to be reckoned with.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Fifteen million&#8221; is certainly an exaggeration, but there seems to be no way of determining how gross an exaggeration it is. [19] If, for example, we deducted ninety percent for enthusiasm and political purposes, would the figure of 1,500,000 be too high or too low? Perhaps the latter, but one can only guess. We certainly must not underestimate the efficiency of the perverts in their &#8220;missionary activities.&#8221; [20] Many of them carry on such activities compulsively, and many of them in comparatively high positions take risks that no sane man would take &#8212; and do so for no conceivable reason other than an urge to make converts. When, for example, the rector of the wealthiest church in a large town was finally arrested because, after repeated warnings, he persisted in hanging around the gates of an Air Force training school to accost young recruits and offer them homosexual fun, we cannot suppose that His Reverence was just lonely. He belonged to a club or circle of fellow perverts, and the only explanation is that he felt a call to spread a gospel that he found much more attractive than the New Testament, a Book which he was accustomed to mention on Sundays. When the managing editor of a daily newspaper, long known as a leader in a little clique of his kind, tried to drug and rape a young plain-clothes policeman, we can only suppose that he felt an overwhelming urge to recruit for his cult, although he, of all people, should have been aware of the risk he was taking. Most incidents of this kind are &#8220;hushed up&#8221; by political and other pressures so that they are seldom known outside the community in which they occur and provide a subject for amused comment, but occasionally, since &#8220;Liberal&#8221; censorship of our press is not yet complete, some typical episodes become more widely known. For example, the United Press in a dispatch from Philadelphia on October 21, 1965, noted that the Professor of Sociology (and head of the department) in a well-known college had overplayed his luck in his avocation of riding street cars to pick up young boys and entice them to an apartment in which, after plying them with alcohol, he could help them overcome their inhibitions. Of course, the Big Brain could have found plenty of partners &#8212; including juveniles &#8212; without the slightest risk of arrest, had he been so minded. In England, according to a Reuters dispatch from London, April 30, 1965, a slight stir was occasioned when Baron Moynihan, who had been chairman of Britain&#8217;s Liberal Party, was arrested by the police while he, in the capacity of a &#8220;male&#8221; prostitute, was accosting men on the streets of London and soliciting business at bargain rates. [21] His Lordship, we may be sure, lacked neither money (he had amassed a fortune as a stockbroker) nor safe opportunities. What sent him into the streets was the same compulsion that led to the several arrests of a far more powerful and influential individual, Walter Jenkins, who was Lyndon Johnson&#8217;s closest assistant until Abe Fortas, now Justice of the Supreme Court, failed in a strenuous attempt to keep news of the arrest entirely out of the press. [22] So far as I know, however, the really significant detail in that affair was noted only by <em>American Opinion </em>(July-August, 1965, p. 79), which commented:</p>
<blockquote><p>The degenerate&#8217;s strange urge to practice perversion in public . . . should not be overlooked in forming an estimate of the creatures. Like Jenkins, many of the perverts in the highest levels of our government have been arrested several times for such offenses. They draw some of the largest salaries paid in this country, and no one can argue that they cannot afford a dollar for a cab-ride home or three dollars for a room in a cheap hotel, where, under the laws of the District of Columbia, they would be immune to arrest. Instead, some strange compulsion drives these creatures to practice their perversions in public parks and in public buildings, such as the Y.M.C.A., where they are subject to arrest when caught in the act.</p></blockquote>

<p>Part of that compulsion, no doubt, is missionary zeal.</p>
<p>The assiduous &#8220;missionary activities&#8221; of the perverts would be much less successful, if the way for them had not been prepared by concerted propaganda designed to benumb the normal American&#8217;s abhorrence of perverts and to prepare adolescents for degrading debauchery. In recent years this propaganda has increasingly included an open apology for, and laudation of, homosexuality, but the most effective form is still the &#8220;panel discussion&#8221; or sham controversy carefully rigged so that the audience or readers will be left with the impression that they must be &#8220;open minded&#8221; and &#8220;tolerant.&#8221; The propagandists need not be perverts themselves, and it is likely that many or most of them are not. It is a basic axiom of subversives, formulated by Adam Weishaupt when he organized the conspiracy of the Illuminati in 1776 and reaffirmed by his successors, including Lenin, that the best way to destroy a nation is to undermine its morality. And that, of course, is what the secret and implacable enemies of our civilization have been doing for centuries.</p>
<p>The propaganda comes over every medium of communication. If you are one of the few who read the testimony taken by the Senate Subcommittee on Internal Security, you will not be astonished that the radio stations operated by the Communist-infested Pacifica Foundation try to &#8220;educate&#8221; the American public on the joys of Bolshevism, addiction to marijuana, and homosexuality. [23] Given the power of homosexuals in the cinema and television, as stated in the article in <em>Human Events</em> from which I quoted above, one may be sure that few opportunities for subtle propaganda, including, no doubt, the devices that Vance Packard described in <em>The Hidden Persuaders</em>, are overlooked. In some parts of the United States, at least, that hoary old bulwark of subversion, the American Civil Liberties Union, sponsors public lectures on the delights of perversion to &#8220;promote understanding.&#8221; The mumbo-jumbo of our fashionable witch-doctors is accepted as &#8220;scientific&#8221; by those who know nothing about scientific method. For example, Dr. Albert Ellis, formerly director of the New Jersey State Hospital and now one of the brightest blossoms in the great pansy-bed called the State Department, in his best-known book, <em>The American Sexual Tragedy</em>, opined that all men who are not homosexuals are &#8220;fetishistic&#8221; and suffer from the delusion that women are more fun &#8212; and hence must be treated as &#8220;victims of psychiatric illness.&#8221; It is quite possible that there are people who believe Doc Ellis &#8212; he&#8217;s got a college degree, hasn&#8217;t he? More effective, however, are the many tomes of &#8220;sexology&#8221; that are not so blatant and merely take it for granted that homosexuality is a &#8220;problem&#8221; to be solved in terms of what is the most fun, while they tacitly or explicitly ignore as irrelevant such old fashioned considerations as right and wrong, good and evil.</p>
<p>By its cumulative effect over many years, this propaganda has prepared the way for what is, so far as I know, the most shameless attempt to annex the United States to the Sotadic Zone &#8212; a book that is almost incredible. Ten years ago, I am sure, and probably even five years ago, the most pessimistic observer of our rotting nation would have refused to believe that such a work could have been published in the United States, much less accorded glowing reviews and widely circulated. It is the work of a college professor, who, as still happens, is also a man of learning: that makes him the less excusable and the more dangerous. Using the pen-name of J.Z. Eglinton and the insidious title, <em>Greek Love</em>, he has written and published (New York, Oliver Layton Press, 1964) a five-hundred-page panegyric of paederasty, extolling its delights in perfervid and even eloquent terms, condemning such pervert-cliques as the Mattachine Society as timorous and reactionary, and boldly claiming that all men, being created equal, have a <em>perfect right to seduce male children</em>. Professor &#8220;Eglinton&#8221; believes that boys between the ages of twelve and sixteen provide the most fun, and he proves his point by recounting, in the style of a romantic novelist, the wondrous fun thus had by university professors, scout masters, graduate students, rabbis, and the like. It would be supererogatory to argue with Professor Eglinton. If you are an American and have children for whom you care, or if you are under seventy and hope that the United States will last your time, it will be obvious to you that his species and ours cannot long coexist in the same territory.</p>
<p>The total effects of homosexuality on our society are really incalculable. The power and activity of the filthy mass of perverts and traitors in Washington is too well-known to require comment here, but there are other effects of which we know so little quantitatively that we can do no more than speculate about their social importance. Consider, for example, the distinguished clergyman (and fervent apostle of &#8220;racial equality&#8221;) whose tastes are described by the experienced police-investigator, Hubert J. Badeaux, in his authoritative book, <em>The Underworld of Sex</em> (New Orleans, privately printed and distributed only to responsible subscribers to the <em>Civic Review</em>, 1959). This Shepherd of Souls is a pervert and has, what is extremely common among his species, a passionate predilection for Negro &#8220;husbands.&#8221; He also maintains, as do many perverts, a wife as protective covering. [24] He is thus able to enjoy not only the services of his black &#8220;lover,&#8221; but also the added titillation of watching and participating, while his legal wife serves as a whore for his Congoid &#8220;husband.&#8221; The reverend animal whose delectations are described by Mr. Badeaux is by no means unique. Some observers think it probable that similar amusements account for otherwise inexplicable enthusiasm for the &#8220;Civil Rights&#8221; movement in clerical circles, and this view is to some extent supported by the behavior of the vermin that the Communist Conspiracy sent into Selma, Alabama, last year. [25] It must be emphasized, however, that all such explanations, given the paucity of specific and authenticated data available, can be no more than speculative.</p>
<p>I have commented at some length on homosexuality because that is directly relevant to Mr. Seelig&#8217;s report of what he and his beloved children have suffered at the hands of organized degenerates and the vast criminal apparatus of which they are an important part. I do not mean to give the subject undue prominence and I hope that the reader will remember that we are dealing with only one of the components of a complex of subversion, the various parts of which fit into one another as do the pieces of a Chinese puzzle.</p>
<p>There are very significant sexual perversions that are not, strictly speaking, homosexual, but, in contemporary society, at least, combine with it to form part of a larger unit. For example, although most of us do not know it, we American taxpayers maintain a Whore Corps to entertain Communists and Cannibals whenever they come to Washington to haul another load of our money out of our Treasury. That, of course, is merely the kind of service to &#8220;underdeveloped nations&#8221; that everyone takes for granted, but what is significant is that there are real difficulties in maintaining <em>morale</em> in the Whore Corps. Some of the distinguished internationalists who come to promote &#8220;world law&#8221; by taking our gold do prefer women, but only when they have been suitably prepared with a buggy-whip so that their bodies are covered with the blood that oozes or gushes from welts and wounds thus inflicted. Now although it is doubtless deplorable from a One-Worlder&#8217;s point of view, it is, I think, understandable that even females who have been thoroughly emancipated from &#8220;bourgeois prejudices&#8221; and imbued with a desire for &#8220;international understanding&#8221; quail when the lash bites into their flesh. In fact, it was in consequence of such weakness that many Americans received their first notice of that form of recreation. A woman, sent by &#8220;our&#8221; State Department to entertain one of our parasites in the suite we had provided for him, lost her nerve when the whip was produced as soon as she stripped for the occasion; she ran nude through the corridors of the hotel, thus attracting some attention, although the establishment was one frequented by the <em>creme de la creme</em> of our governing ochlocracy. The incident was therefore reported in the press.</p>
<p>The press, however, has not thus far seen fit to comment on the very expensive establishments in Washington and Florida in which the more masculine members of our elite begin by selecting from a rack the jewel-handled whip that will make the female of their choice sexually attractive. Now the great-hearted humanitarians who share the &#8220;Marquis&#8221; de Sade&#8217;s passion for &#8220;human equality&#8221; and related matters are not, in that aspect of their activity, homosexuals, but Americans who have not yet attained &#8220;mental health&#8221; will regard them as perverts.</p>
<p>Perversion, in turn, is but one phase of the erotic mania that has been cunningly induced in our country, largely through the public schools, and is now being whetted to exasperation by the flood of pornography which, under the patronage of Earl Warren and his acolytes, is now flooding our newsstands for the instruction of those children and adolescents who do not have it forcibly administered to them in their classrooms. [26] Most of this sewage is not specifically homosexual; it is simply Sotadic, and could have as its motto the remark attributed to a notorious actress of the past generation: &#8220;Male sex? Female sex? What do I care, so long as it is sex?&#8221; In this connection, of course, one thinks of the ferret-faced Ralph Ginzberg, who edited the lush pornographic periodical called <em>Eros</em> and now edits a possibly more pernicious thing called <em>Fact</em> while he, having been sentenced to seven years in prison for his lewd publications, is out on bond and waiting for Comrade Earl to think up a pretext for turning him loose. It must be admitted that Ginzberg&#8217;s excretions, both in themselves and because they were somewhat expensive, were probably not so poisonous as the incredibly filthy novel, <em>The Awakening of Cindy</em>, which was spread over the newsstands as a &#8220;paper-back&#8221; for the instruction of every schoolchild who had seventy-five cents.</p>
<p><a href="http://nationalvanguard.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/1101570701_400.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" size-medium wp-image-2071 alignleft" src="https://nationalvanguard.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/1101570701_400-300x395.jpg" alt="1101570701_400" width="300" height="395" /></a>According to <em>Newsweek</em> (April 12, 1965), the author of that printed orgy of homosexuality and promiscuity was, by chance, discovered to be the Reverend Dr. Arthur Edwin Shelton, pastor of the Wesley Memorial Methodist Church of Norfolk, Virginia. Readers of that report must have wondered whether the Man of God was merely trying to spread degeneracy for a fast buck or found some deeper satisfaction in his labors for his Lord.</p>
<p>It would require a volume, however, to treat pornography and erotic mania in our time, and that, in turn, would be merely one phase of the universal sabotage of our culture and our nation by our enemies. To discuss that, we should have to try to trace the dark history of the Communist Conspiracy.</p>
<p>Whether Americans have, by blind optimism and gross negligence, permitted that crafty and subtle sabotage to go too far for the nation to be preserved is a question both difficult and painful. It will be answered by the events of the next two or three years, at most. For the purposes of this commentary, however, let us assume that the completion of the Bolshevik capture of our country is averted by divine intervention or an almost equally miraculous arousal of our long dormant instinct for self-preservation.</p>
<p>On that assumption, what shall we be able to do about the epidemic of homosexuality? It seems to me that four conclusions emerge from the foregoing discussion, viz.:</p>
<ul>
<li>We cannot prevent by legislation the practice of homosexuality. Laws are obviously ineffectual when violations of them can be discovered only by rare accidents or in very unusual circumstances.</li>
<li>By simply enforcing the penalties now provided by law in most states, we can inhibit and hold to a minimum the perverts&#8217; compulsive &#8220;missionary activities.&#8221; Furthermore, if existing laws were enforced, the control of our Federal government and deep penetration of many state governments by the combined Homosexual International and International Communist Conspiracy could be completely broken. While it would probably be impossible completely to eliminate secret perverts, they could be rendered powerless.</li>
<li>We can stop the present use of the public schools as a vast machine of demoralization designed to create the population of fellahin, brutalized and stultified beings that live without hope and without self-respect, needed as livestock in the Socialist State of which our &#8220;Liberals&#8221; dream &#8212; and which they have almost created.</li>
<li>All our efforts will be futile, unless we succeed in doing what no nation before us has ever done &#8212; succeed in reversing the process of demoralization and decay and in recreating a national morality and morale &#8212; standards of personal conduct and self-discipline that will be accepted without debate by all Americans, except, of course, the underworld of human refuse that seems biologically inevitable, but which healthy societies know how to quarantine and render socially and politically powerless. And we must accept these standards of conduct and self-discipline with enthusiasm and pride, recognizing them as part of the superiority that is evinced by our physical power.</li>
</ul>
<p>Is it possible that we, men of the West, members of the only race that has had the intelligence and discipline to master many of the powers of nature, are too stupid to preserve our own civilization? Is it not fantastic that we, who alone can create such intricate mechanisms as electronic computers and automatic factories, should so demean ourselves as to grovel among savages in the filthy hole called the &#8220;United Nations&#8221;? That we, who have mastered the atom and hold in our hands the lightnings of nuclear power, should cower before the brutish hordes of Genghis Khan &#8212; cower in the insane act of handing <em>our</em> weapons to our eternal enemies? That we, who alone of all races can look far into the infinite universe and can now measure with precision the vast quasi-stars (quasars) that lie at the unimaginable distance of six billion light-years, should enslave ourselves to creatures whose rudimentary minds can never truly comprehend the simple principles that we learn in childhood?</p>
<p>Those are the questions that every <em>man</em> must answer for himself now.</p>
<p>It may be, of course, that Poland&#8217;s greatest poet, Zygmunt Krasinski, who lived on the frontiers of Europe more than a century ago, was prescient and prophetic when he composed an epitaph for the Christian West:</p>
<blockquote><p>To the errors accumulated by their forefathers they added yet others which their forefathers knew not: hesitation and timidity. And so it came to pass that they vanished from the face of the earth, and ever since their vanishing there has been a great silence.</p></blockquote>
<p>–Revilo P. Oliver, January, 1966, Urbana, Illinois</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Notes</strong></p>
<p>1 &#8211; The fake &#8220;Sedition Case&#8221; is a blot on our national history, and the details, which I do not have room to mention here, deserve careful study. The most concise and lucid account is <em>The Sedition Case</em>, compiled by the Lutheran Research Society and first published in 1953. The book is now out of print, and although two thousand copies were said to be in the hands of various dealers when I mentioned the book in <em>American Opinion</em> for September, 1964, the stocks have been exhausted and I do not know where a copy may now be obtained. <em>A Trial on Trial</em>, by Maximilian St. George (one of the attorneys) and Lawrence Dennis (one of the defendants), was published in Chicago in 1946, before the defendants succeeded in having the case finally adjudicated, and was therefore written with a certain circumspection. I understand that some booksellers still have copies in stock. <em>I Testify</em>, by Robert Edward Edmondson (another defendant), contains a personal account of the trial, but the greater part of the book is devoted to recapitulation of the author&#8217;s criticisms of the Roosevelt Administration for which the &#8220;Justice Department&#8221; sought to take vengeance. The book, which is not well organized, was published by the author in 1953 and twice reprinted, but it is now extremely rare.</p>
<p>2 &#8211; Since General Walker survived, the attempt at character-assassination is apt to prove expensive. Impartial juries have already returned verdicts of $3,800,000 (reduced by the courts to $2,750,000) against the Associated Press and newspapers that published the malicious fiction. Many other suits are pending. For the details see <em>The American Mercury</em>, September, 1965, pp. 13-15.</p>
<p>3 &#8211; Since all federal employees are personally responsible for acts committed <em>ultra vires</em>, this has the interesting consequence that the persons primarily responsible for the kidnapping would be subject to the death penalty if the Federal statutes were enforced.</p>
<p>4 &#8211; This is not to be construed as an indictment of all psychiatrists. There are many who are both sane and honest, including the one who, although paid by the Federal government, later testified in court that General Walker was &#8220;functioning at the superior level of intelligence&#8221; (as, of course, everybody concerned knew throughout the affair). On the &#8220;mental health&#8221; hoax, currently being promoted by the Communist Conspiracy as a weapon of terrorism and conquest, see the excellent book by Ellen McClay, <em>Bats in the Belfry</em> (Los Angeles, Rosewood Publishing Co., 1964; $1.75).</p>
<p>5 &#8211; The foregoing account is based on the summary, certified by General Walker as &#8220;a factual, accurate account,&#8221; published by the American Eagle Publishing Co., Box 1560, Dallas 21, Texas (15 cents; eight copies for $1.00), and General Walker&#8217;s article in <em>The American Mercury</em>, March, 1965, pp. 17-19. See also the article by Judge Robert Morris in <em>The Greater Nebraskan</em>, Christmas, 1962, pp. 9, 19-20. It may be coincidence that the next attempt to silence the General was made by a Communist assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, who missed because his intended victim happened to turn his head at the very instant the shot was fired. Oswald was assisted or supervised by a person who has not been officially identified, although it is widely believed in Dallas that there is evidence to show that this person was the Jakob Rubenstein, alias Jack Ruby, who silenced Oswald after the <a href="http://www.revilo-oliver.com/rpo/Marxmanship1.html">assassination of President Kennedy</a>.</p>
<p>6 &#8211; For a fuller account, see Clark Mollenhoff, <em>Despoilers of Democracy</em> (New York, Doubleday, 1965), a book which deals with the comparatively few activities of our master-thugs that, through various accidents, have come to light. Mr. Mollenhoff concludes, with careful understatement, that &#8220;we are in real danger of losing the enlightened concern needed to save ourselves.&#8221;</p>
<p>7 &#8211; For example, the <em>Arthacastra</em>, a political treatise composed in India sometime before 300 A.D., proposes a rather drastic solution &#8212; that an army of detectives, disguised as teachers, heretical priests, gamblers, mendicants, bandits, and the like, should act as <em>agents provocateurs</em> and try to induce the morally weak to commit crimes, such as burglary, in which they could be easily apprehended and for which they would be speedily executed.</p>
<p>8 &#8211; Since Sir Richard Burton&#8217;s translation of <em>The Perfumed Garden</em> by the Shaykh Muhammad ibn Umar an-Nafzawi has been reprinted by several vendors of pornography, the reader of that version or of the anonymous French translation should be warned not to draw conclusions <em>ex silentio</em>. The Arabic original contains a long and enthusiastic section on homosexuality, including the abuse of young boys, that the translators thought it best to overlook. There were, of course, thoughtful Moslems who understood the consequences of such customs. The greatest of the Arabian historians, Ibn Khaldun, in his <em>Muqaddama</em> (most easily accessible in the French translation by MacGuckin de Slane, <em>Prolegomenes</em>, Paris, 1863-68) held that homosexuality was one of the principal causes of the decline and fall of civilizations.</p>
<p>9 &#8211; We can list a number of coincidences between homosexuality and treason but we cannot show that one was a cause, or even a factor, in the other. And to be fair, we must record on the other side of the ledger a peculiar and inexplicable phenomenon: it seems certain that in the Greek world there were homosexuals who were men &#8212; even men of honor. We are assured (cf. Plutarch, <em>Vit. Pelop</em>., 18) that in the Fourth Century the flower of the Theban army was, for an odd religious reason, composed of homosexuals. With his superior forces and superior strategy, Philip of Macedon finally won at Chaeronea, but when he did, the Sacred Regiment lay dead to a man in their unbroken ranks. That is true greatness. If the story of their customs is true, there must have been in one respect a fundamental difference between their world and our own, in which perversion and treason are almost synonymous. The Honorable John Dowdy of Texas, who is in a position to be very well informed, stated bluntly, &#8220;As far as I know, all of the security risks that have deserted the United States and gone over to the Communists have been homosexuals.&#8221; (See the hearings on House Resolution 5990, August 8, 1964, p. 17). There have been many such cases in Western nations. A typical instance in the United States is that of two &#8220;geniuses, &#8221; Bernon F. Mitchell and William H. Martin, who, trained at the Universities of Washington and Illinois and Stanford, where they were known to be degenerates, ensconced themselves in positions of strategic importance in &#8220;our&#8221; National Security Agency (which, for vital reasons, should be our <em>most</em> secret intelligence agency) while the Director of Personnel was a scabrous alien named Maurice Klein, who had falsified his own record through perjury and forgery. Mitchell and Martin high-tailed it for Mother Russia in 1960, and it is rumored that the damage done by their treason has not yet been repaired. For a comparable incident in Britain&#8217;s Military Intelligence, see <em>Burgess and Maclean</em> by Anthony Purdy and Douglas Sutherland (New York, Doubleday, 1963); the book makes it clear that those &#8220;intellectuals&#8221; were known perverts and traitors when they were installed in Military Intelligence by degenerates in higher governmental positions who protected them for twelve years, enabled them to escape when exposure was imminent, and remained in power in the highest offices of the government of the Britain that once was Great.</p>
<p>10 &#8211; That much seems certain. I cannot here examine the long-debated and intricate question of the extent to which the Templars, before they were suppressed by the Pope and the Kings of France, England, Aragon, and other countries in 1307-12, were a political conspiracy, possibly derived from, or affiliated with, the Assassins.</p>
<p>11 &#8211; A conveniently accessible biography of Crowley is Daniel P. Mannix&#8217; <em>The Beast</em> (New York, Ballantine, 1959).</p>
<p>12 &#8211; For some case-histories, see Dr. James M. Reinhardt&#8217;s <em>Sex Perversion and Sex Crimes</em>, a monograph in the Police Science Series published for the use of police officers by Charles C. Thomas, Springfield, Illinois (1957).</p>
<p>13 &#8211; For example, many Americans are only now becoming aware of the only object of the agitation for &#8220;Civil Rights,&#8221; although that should have been obvious fifty years ago &#8212; or, at least, thirty years ago, when everyone knew that the agitation was led by such &#8220;do-gooders&#8221; as William Z. Foster, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, and Felix Frankfurter.</p>
<p>14 &#8211; Quoted by Dr. Reinhardt, <em>op cit</em>., pp. 232 f.</p>
<p>15 &#8211; Some of our contemporaries, I know, deprecate or deride a &#8220;conspiratorial theory of history,&#8221; and insist that all that is wrong is that our &#8220;Liberal intellectuals,&#8221; who presumably are dominant just because they are the best we have, are ignorant and stupid. The only thing that is astonishing is that the persons who hold that pessimistic view argue and write so much to defend it, for if they are right, concern for the future of the West is as futile as concern for the future of a rotting apple.</p>
<p>16 &#8211; Here is a specimen, c. 1944:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>Assistant Secretary of State</em>: We mustn&#8217;t appoint X to that post; he&#8217;s a queer.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>Secretary of State</em>: A queer? Are you sure?</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>Assistant Secretary of State</em>: Of course! Why, everyone knows that he has sexual relations with his wife.</p>
<p>17 &#8211; The name is probably an Anglicization of the Italian <em>mattaccino</em>, which means both &#8216;a jester&#8217; (similar to a harlequin) and &#8216;a gay ball.&#8217; In the <em>argot</em> of perverts in the United States, <em>gay</em> means homosexual. In Italian card-games, a <em>matta</em> is a &#8216;joker&#8217; or &#8216;wild&#8217; card, which can have any value at the option of the person who plays it. The &#8216;gay bars&#8217; or &#8216;gay clubs&#8217; that are found in every sizable city in our country are places of rendezvous for perverts, but many local citizens are unaware of what the term really means.</p>
<p>18 &#8211; A detail oddly omitted in the daily press; see the photograph on the cover of <em>The Ladder, A Lesbian Review</em>, October, 1965.</p>
<p>19 &#8211; The figures for Washington, if correct, cannot be taken as representing a national percentage, since our capital has been for decades a cesspool into which vice and crime naturally drain from all over the country. Next to Washington, the highest incidence will probably be found in the very large cities, in which large masses of human refuse are nurtured and subsidized for voting purposes, and in college towns, which are apt to contain a concentration of internationalists and other advanced thinkers.</p>
<p>20 &#8211; This is the term used in police circles, where, of course, the perverts&#8217; strange compulsion has long been recognized; cf. Reinhardt, <em>op. cit</em>., p. 43. That is why our local police, although their work has been greatly hampered by corrupt courts, criminals in positions of political power, and nincompoops who snivel over &#8220;underprivileged&#8221; dregs of society, keep an eye on known perverts: the first concern of the police is to prevent the &#8220;homos&#8221; from corrupting other people, especially the young. It is a great pity that so many Americans try so hard to avoid learning anything about the many kinds of human garbage with which their police must deal constantly; if our citizens were not so resolutely ignorant, they would know what to do whenever a &#8220;Liberal&#8221; begins his usual spiel about &#8220;equality&#8221; and &#8220;brotherhood.&#8221;</p>
<p>21 &#8211; This choice flower of Britain&#8217;s new aristocracy is now defunct, but has left a worthy heir. According to the press, the present Baron Moynihan is usually to be found in what are euphemistically termed &#8220;hot spots,&#8221; where His Lordship, if sober, bangs the bongo drums while Lady Moynihan, a female of Malaysian extraction, does a belly-dance.</p>
<p>22 &#8211; At latest reports, dear old Walt was flourishing in plush offices in Austin, Texas, where he was believed to be supervising the training of young thugs in the &#8220;Job Corps.&#8221; He was regarded as politically the most powerful individual in Texas, since it was believed that he could (if so minded) get anything for anyone with just one telephone call to Washington, D.C.</p>
<p>23 &#8211; The hearings, held on January 10, 11, and 25, 1963, were published in three parts under the title &#8220;Pacifica Foundation.&#8221; More significant, perhaps, than the antics of the Comrats who dodged behind the Fifth Amendment and insolently played peek-a-boo with the Committee was the testimony of the leading director of the Foundation, one Dr. Peter Odegard, Professor of Political Science in the University of California, formerly President of Reed College in Oregon, and before that Assistant to the Secretary of the Treasury in Washington, when that office was held by Morgenthau and controlled by the Bolshevik agent who called himself Harry Dexter White. Professor Odegard swore that he had no faintest suspicion that there was Communist influence in the operations of Pacifica Foundation, and if you choose to believe him, you will have before you a measure of the amount of intelligence now needed to hold a quite important office in the Federal government, the presidency of a fairly well-known college, and the headship of the Department of &#8220;Political Science&#8221; in one of the largest universities in the nation. You will then conclude that the prediction made by Lothrop Stoddard a quarter of a century ago, that our civilization would collapse for sheer lack of brains, has already been fulfilled.</p>
<p>24 &#8211; This is extremely common. The self-advertised homosexual, Donald W. Cory, in <em>The Homosexual in America</em>, says that for members of the species &#8220;marriage is looked upon as a &#8216;front,&#8217; an artificial facade … the almost perfect silencer of talk which is slanderous, although truthful.&#8221; Cory demands legalization of marriage between persons of his/its sex. He is modest. Earl Warren, by applying the logic of his infamous &#8220;Black Monday&#8221; decision, could simply forbid marriage between a man and a woman on the grounds that such a marriage would make perverts unhappy and make them feel inferior. Lawrence Lipton of the University of California in Los Angeles in <em>The Erotic Revolution</em> (Los Angeles, Sherbourne Press, 1965) is principally interested in showing that he has mastered the vocabulary seen on the walls of latrines in the slums, in yelling that all morality is &#8220;obsolescent,&#8221; in whooping it up for universal promiscuity (with wife-swapping clubs for those who are so ultra-conservative as to marry at all), and a general return to the standards of savages. In passing, however, he does recommend a household in which two &#8220;male&#8221; homosexuals and two &#8220;Lesbians&#8221; form a foursome, so that joy may be unconfined.</p>

<p>26 &#8211; Pornography is a business which now grosses more than two billion dollars a year in the United States (see United Press dispatch from Washington, April 18, 1965); it appears to be largely in the hands of aliens. Many of the vermin engaged in it are notorious Communists and Communist-fronters; see the articles by John Benedict in the <em>American Mercury</em>, January, 1960, pp. 3-15, and February, 1960, pp. 3-21. The vermin retaliated by driving the <em>Mercury</em> from the newsstands throughout the nation. See also the bulletin, &#8220;Communism and Pornography,&#8221; by Captain Robert A. Winston of the U.S. Navy, author of <em>The Pentagon Case</em>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>by H. Millard</p>
<p>&#8220;LET ME TELL YOU SOME STUFF, man,&#8221; said Homeless Jack, &#8220;but before I get to the meat of it, let me first tell you that I&#8217;m a big believer in existence and the ways of existence.</p>
<p>&#8220;You might want to call that Nature&#8217;s ways, and that&#8217;s okay too. I tell you this, because when I look at humans and the human situation I don&#8217;t see much difference between us and other organisms on a basic principle level. I mean, all organisms have genetic programs that tell them to compete for survival and dominance. It&#8217;s all from the DNA codes, man. That&#8217;s how Nature improves all organisms &#8212; competition. The strong win, the weak lose. In Nature, there is no good and evil. Just the strong and the weak. And, despite what some humans may think, it&#8217;s the same with us.</p>
<p>&#8220;Now, this is what I want to tell you. I keep hearing comments from some of our people who complain about how it&#8217;s some evil &#8216;THEM&#8217; or some evil &#8216;OTHERS&#8217; who are to blame for our problems as a people.</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, who the hell is THEM and the OTHERS? Jews? Commies? Blacks? Asians? Hispanics? Bilderbergers? The filthy rich? The Illuminati? Go ahead, man, throw in a name of some THEM and some OTHERS. Just about all of THEM and OTHERS have been blamed at one time or another. In fact, to some other types of humans, <em>we</em> are the THEM and the OTHERS. It&#8217;s all natural, man. It&#8217;s just human psychology to blame others.</p>
<p>&#8220;But, here&#8217;s the truth of it for us right now. The main problem we have as a people &#8212; I&#8217;m talking about White people &#8212; is that we are facing genocide, both from violent attacks and also from bedroom genocide. Our existence is in danger. Yeah, some of the THEM and some of the OTHERS may be the immediate surface cause of this, but dig deeper, man, and you&#8217;ll see that all that the THEM and the OTHERS are doing is competing with us as Nature demands. The weak are eliminated, and the strong survive. That&#8217;s the way it works for ants and that&#8217;s the way it works for us. The real problem is ourselves. Because of false ideas that are too common among our people we have become dispirited weak pushovers. We&#8217;ve become a bunch of sissified dandies afraid to be ourselves and to compete fully. We have to compete better.</p>
<p>&#8220;Look, THEM and the OTHERS are just trying to do the best they can do to survive and dominate all niches. They mostly don&#8217;t even know this on a conscious level. Again, this is just part of their genetic program as it is for all life including us White ones, man. The problem for us right now is that we have too many weak seeds among our kind of human who are so conditioned with baloney that they&#8217;re overriding their natural genetic programs and seemingly wanting to dig their own graves so they can crawl into them and then pull the dirt in over their heads lest they have to actually start boldly competing again as the distinct people that they are. They don&#8217;t like the struggle, man. They&#8217;re afraid to compete. Competing in our day often means others will call us &#8216;racists&#8217; and a bunch of other names, and the weak seeds among us will do anything to avoid being called &#8216;racists.&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8220;Are you listening to me? Let me tell you this again. Sure, others want to get a leg up on us and they want the best for themselves, some even want to exterminate us. Big deal. There&#8217;s nothing new in that. That&#8217;s just the way Nature works. We&#8217;re in a contest to see who can come out on top. It&#8217;s no different with us than it is with ants. Well, there is one difference: We can think about these things and see what&#8217;s happening and maybe make corrections if we&#8217;re smart enough to do so. If we&#8217;re not smart enough, then extinction is going to be our fate.</p>
<p>&#8220;Take the Jews, man. I told you this before, but maybe you forgot it. I was born Catholic in an area that was mostly Catholic, and when I was a young teen I heard some adults saying some negative things about Jews. I asked one of them why they didn&#8217;t like Jews and he replied &#8216;They&#8217;re too cliquey.&#8217; The others seemed to agree. Too cliquey? So, what did these people really mean? I&#8217;ll tell you. They were really saying that they resented Jews because the Jews looked out for themselves and didn&#8217;t blend in with the non-Jews in some sort of plain wrap identity that is really no identity at all, and they retained their own sense of who and what they are.</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, I wondered then, and I wonder now, what the Hell&#8217;s wrong with that? We <em>should</em> be cliquey. That&#8217;s a major attitude that is needed to survive as a distinct people. Look out for yourself, then those closest to you, and then those most like you, instead of galloping off to help people who are least like you, as so many Great White Mothers and Great White Fathers do.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have a mental disorder &#8212; some of us White people &#8212; too many of us White people, in fact. We think everyone should blend in with us and then the whole damn world will be swell. And, those THEM and the OTHERS who actually like themselves as they are and who stay with their own or who show some self and group esteem, we knock. We want them to assimilate, which really means we want them to be like us. Well, that&#8217;s a major error in thinking. We should not want everyone to blend in with us. That will eventually lead to our destruction. Once, when there were just a few of THEM and the OTHERS who could reach our lands, they might have been absorbed by us, but now we are the ones in danger of being absorbed into them.</p>
<p>&#8220;So, how did this nonsense of wanting THEM and the OTHERS to blend in with us and become a lumpen plain wrap American (read White American) start?</p>
<p>&#8220;I think it came about because in the U.S. we Whites were in the majority for so long that we just unconsciously thought that we were the majority on the planet or the main model human and that others would be absorbed by us and &#8216;become us&#8217; in a few generations. You&#8217;ll even hear some dumb-ass White fools today say &#8216;Don&#8217;t put a hyphen in my name, I&#8217;m just an American.&#8217; That&#8217;s a stupid thing to say. What the hell is an American? The country has only been here for a few hundred years, yet we, as a distinct human type, have been around for thousands of years. Hell, my answer to those idiots is to be <em>sure</em> to put a hyphen in my name: &#8216;White-American.&#8217; Be sure the White is first, man. Better still, just leave off the American part and call me White. That&#8217;s my real identity that I was born with. And, it don&#8217;t matter a damn what piece of land I was born on; I&#8217;m still White. That&#8217;s who and what I am. Screw the artificial identities. And, if America no longer serves my best interests as the distinct human type that I am, as it once did, then don&#8217;t expect me to salute the flag and smile as though I&#8217;m one of those fools who are still locked into the false belief that America today is as it was fifty years ago, when it really did help Whites. The Cleavers don&#8217;t live here anymore, man. Hell, to even get a TV program that looks like America was just a few years ago, Hollywood has to shoot in Canada.</p>
<p>&#8220;Trust your eyes, man. All of America is becoming like Detroit. Do you feel pride in Detroit or any other major non-White city? Hell, no; if you have half a brain, you&#8217;re fleeing from such cities and those cities are spreading as America devolves to Third World status in proportion to the decline of the White majority.</p>
<p>&#8220;We must avoid blending in and we must become cliquey. We must see ourselves as White and protect our identity and our people, or we&#8217;re going to go extinct.</p>
<p>&#8220;We must compete better, not just complain because THEM and the OTHERS are competing better.</p>
<p>&#8220;And, what do I mean by competing better? Just this. We need to be smarter, stronger, more clever. And, we need to breed more. And it&#8217;s this last thing, breed more, that is by far the most important thing we can do.</p>
<p>&#8220;You know, there&#8217;s a real clear example of what I&#8217;m talking about going on in England right now that should send a message to our people with enough intelligence to see the principles involved. Over there, the native squirrel is the red squirrel. He&#8217;s a cute little thing with ear tufts and all. However, he&#8217;s going extinct. The reason is that some grey squirrels were imported into England &#8212; they&#8217;re the kind you see all over the U.S. &#8212; the greys are more aggressive, and have reproductive adaptations and some other things that allow them to be better competitors than the reds. So, the greys are taking over and the reds are dying out.</p>
<p>&#8220;As I said, man, there is no &#8216;good&#8217; or &#8216;evil&#8217; in this. It&#8217;s just a matter of who can compete better.</p>
<p>&#8220;You get the relevant principles, right, man? The greys are better competitors than the reds. So what should the greys do? Should they stop being as they are to give the reds a chance? Should the greys stop struggling to be the best they can be because others can&#8217;t compete with them? Of course not. That&#8217;s not Nature&#8217;s way. However, that&#8217;s what Whites are doing in the U.S. We&#8217;re holding ourselves back and trying to be small so others can compete with us. &#8216;Affirmative action&#8217; and a bunch of other things are tamping us down and causing us to be less than we can be. To struggle and compete and be all that we can be means others can&#8217;t keep up with us in many things, so we hold ourselves back</p>
<p>&#8220;Back on this breeding more, man. We ain&#8217;t gonna make it without vast numbers of us to struggle against THEM and the OTHERS. We have always been on top when we expand. We are not going to be on top by contracting. It&#8217;s in our blood that we need to feel crowded by our own kind to make moves outward and to be a vibrant vigorous people of Spring, not a bunch of dried up husks of Winter hiding in the shadows as so many of our people are now doing.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have to adapt to a changed world, man. And, I don&#8217;t mean that we need to blend in, God forbid that, because that really is our death. What I mean is that we no longer have the geographic isolation that we had before fast mass transport and worldwide communications. We can no longer have the stereotypical Father Knows Best family. We need to teem like maggots on garbage, man. We need to produce children like there&#8217;s no tomorrow, because if we don&#8217;t, we may not have a tomorrow.</p>
<p>&#8220;But, I see a great opportunity that we now have in which we can turn things around. See, one of the big problems we have is that the dark masses are now invading our lands and jumping into our gene pool. Then, the weak seed dimwits among our kind subconsciously feel crowded by these others and don&#8217;t have more of our kind of children. What they need to understand is that these <em>other</em> children are <em>not</em> our children, so the crowding we feel is not the real crowding that our people felt in the past. In fact, we are not crowded with our own children at all. We have far too few of our own children, and that&#8217;s the problem. So, if we can teach our people this, maybe they will start having more of our children again.</p>
<p>&#8220;Not following me, man? Yeah, maybe I wasn&#8217;t too clear. Try this. Too many of our people see all humans as the same instead of believing what their eyes tell them. And, in thinking that all humans are the same, they fail to see why we should have more children. Once our people understand that not all humans are the same and that we are a separate subspecies &#8212; which is what race means &#8212; they may start working for our own benefit again.</p>
<p>&#8220;So, you&#8217;re still wondering where the great opportunity is in this, right? It&#8217;s that we may be in an age where we can avoid brother wars, because the THEM and the OTHERS aren&#8217;t our own people. In the past, we fought each other. I mean, there&#8217;s no big difference between a Frenchy who lives on this side of the road in France and a German who lives on the other side of the road in Germany, but in the past we didn&#8217;t always see this. Now, the THEM and the OTHERS are darker peoples who aren&#8217;t our White brothers, sisters, and cousins. Now, they really are the THEM and the OTHERS. But, our people have to be deprogrammed from the conditioning of the blenders who have made too many of them think that we&#8217;re all the same.</p>
<p>&#8220;We need to turn our figurative cannons outward, away from our own kind and toward the other kinds of humans. If we do that, we&#8217;ll win, man. I&#8217;m sure of it. But the others want to keep us fragmented as a people. They want us to falsely believe that their kind is the same as our kind and that we should deny our eyes and look for some sort of &#8216;content of their character&#8217; to know who we should bond with. Screw that &#8216;content of their character&#8217; crap. If they ain&#8217;t got our genotype &#8212; our genetic code &#8212; and no other people does have our genotype or genetic code, then they ain&#8217;t one of us. They are the enemy in the fight for survival. Yup, they are the enemy, even if individuals among them don&#8217;t see this or feel this way or think this. Nature don&#8217;t give a damn; it&#8217;s just trying to bring forth the best genetic type, <em>not</em> the weakest type.</p>
<p>&#8220;Man, all this stuff I&#8217;m telling you is really pretty simple. It&#8217;s like germs. Germs ain&#8217;t good or evil. They&#8217;re just trying to survive and they have no evil intent, but that don&#8217;t matter. If they can harm us, we must struggle to stop them from doing so even if they&#8217;re the sweetest germs and the content of their character is tip top. We don&#8217;t cry and hold candles because we harmed the germs, man. We rub the bastards out to protect ourselves and we shouldn&#8217;t give a damn if they&#8217;re also just trying to live. It&#8217;s the result of their actions that is important, not their intent.</p>
<p>&#8220;Anyway, that&#8217;s it for now, man. Go out and have a bunch of fully White children. God wants you to do that before all else.&#8221;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Of Jonathan Haidt, The Happiness Hypothesis, and Historical Narratives</em></p>
<p>by A. Helian</p>
<p>JONATHAN HAIDT IS ONE OF THE MOST coherent thinkers in the social sciences today. A Professor of psychology at the University of Virginia, he specializes in the study of morality and emotion, and how they vary across cultures. He describes himself as an atheist, and embraces the notion that there is such a thing as &#8220;human nature,&#8221; in the sense that our behavior is profoundly influenced by innate predispositions. For that alone he would have suffered the anathemas of his fellow experts in the behavioral sciences a few short decades ago. Until quite recently they were still in thrall of the collective delusion that human behavior is almost entirely determined by culture and education. But Haidt doesn&#8217;t stop there. His work focuses on our moral nature, and he is of the opinion that moral reasoning is not the basis of moral judgment. Rather, he supports what he calls the social intuitionist model, according to which moral judgments are the result of quick, automatic intuitions, including moral emotions. Moral reasoning commonly only appears after moral decisions have already been made, serving to rationalize them after the fact. Innate, evolved traits play a significant role in the process. In Haidt&#8217;s words from the paper, &#8220;The Emotional Dog and its Rational Tail: A Social Intuitionist Approach to Moral Judgment,&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>The social intuitionist model… proposes that morality, like language, is a major evolutionary adaptation for an intensely social species, built into multiple regions of the brain and body, that is better described as emergent than as learned yet that requires input and shaping from a particular culture. Moral intuitions are therefore both innate and enculturated.</p></blockquote>
<p>Obviously, we have come a long way since the 60s and 70s, when the entire orthodox scientific establishment was defending the cherished but palpably absurd dogma that &#8220;human nature&#8221; was almost entirely the result of education and culture, and the effect of innate predispositions of the kind Haidt (pictured above) refers to on human behavior were insignificant. In one of the more remarkable paradigm shifts in scientific history, they have finally been forced by the weight of evidence to abandon that delusion. For all that, they have shown a remarkable resistance to facing the obvious implications of the truth they have finally embraced. Nowhere has that been more true than in the field of morality.</p>
<p>If what Haidt says is true, then human morality is the expression of evolved behavioral traits. As such, it cannot be other than subjective in nature. Objective good and evil cannot exist because there is no legitimate basis for their existence. Morality has no purpose, nor does it serve any higher end. It exists purely and simply because it has increased the odds that carriers of the genes that give rise to it would survive and reproduce those genes. In spite of these seemingly elementary facts, no human illusion is as persistent and resilient as the belief in objective good.</p>
<p>Haidt explores some related issues in his book, <em>The Happiness Hypothesis</em>. It&#8217;s a good read, consisting of a collection of interesting ideas, insights and recent research results and concluding with an examination of the question, &#8220;What is the meaning of life.&#8221; According to Haidt, the question, &#8220;What is the meaning of life?&#8221; really consists of two sub-questions: <em>What is the purpose of life?</em> and <em>What should be our purpose within life?</em> He does not attempt an answer to the first, but focuses on the second, noting that it refers to what we should do to have a good, happy, fulfilling and meaningful life. Haidt devotes the final portion of the book to the question. There is something rather striking about his answer. It requires acceptance of the theory of group selection.</p>
<p>Why is that striking? Back in the day when, as noted above, virtually the entire orthodox scientific establishment was proclaiming the dogma that &#8220;human nature&#8221; was almost exclusively the result of education and culture, the most influential and significant writer insisting that the establishment was wrong, recognized as such at the time by proponents of both points of view, was Robert Ardrey. Well, it so happens that Ardrey, a brilliant writer with a profound grasp of the big picture, was right and the establishment was wrong about the role of the innate on human behavior. Yet today his name is hardly mentioned in the same breath with Galileo, or any of the other great destroyers of false orthodoxies in the sciences for that matter. Rather, he has been almost entirely forgotten. It happens, you see, that Ardrey was outside the academic pale. He was, in fact, a playwright for much of his career, and it would be too painful for the guild of &#8220;experts&#8221; to admit that a mere playwright like Ardrey had correctly insisted on an abundantly obvious truth at a time when they were still collectively defending a cherished but palpably false delusion.</p>
<p>Eventually, when the delusion collapsed, resulting in one of the more remarkable paradigm shifts in the history of the sciences, the &#8220;experts&#8221; constructed an entire alternative reality, exemplified by Steven Pinker&#8217;s <em>The Blank Slate</em>, according to which, incredibly, Ardrey had been &#8220;totally and utterly wrong,&#8221; and the real hero had been the more respectable and palatable E.O. Wilson, no matter that the ideas he set forth in books like <em>Sociobiology</em> and <em>On Human Nature</em> were no more than a reformulation of Ardrey&#8217;s thought. Now the chances that Pinker ever actually read Ardrey before dismissing him as &#8220;totally and utterly wrong&#8221; are vanishingly small, but he cited Richard Dawkins&#8217; <em>The Selfish Gene</em> as the basis of his claim, as if Dawkins were as infallible as the pope. Dawkins, in turn, based his entire criticism of Ardrey on some remarks he made in his book <em>The Social Contract</em> about a theory that was of no particular significance whatsoever as far as the fundamental question of the role of the innate on human behavior is concerned. And what was that theory? Why, none other than the theory of group selection, without which Haidt&#8217;s &#8220;Happiness Hypothesis&#8221; evaporates in the mist. It appears that Dawkins was somewhat premature in announcing its demise. Such are the narratives that occasionally pass for &#8220;history&#8221; in the sciences. Meanwhile, <a href="http://www.ditext.com/ardrey/imperative/imperative.html" class="broken_link">Ardrey remains an unperson</a>. I should think he deserves better.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>HANDSOME MEN and women often appear to be blessed with lucky lives.  Now research has shown they are cleverer than most people as well.</p>
<p>Studies in Britain and America have found they have IQs 14 points above average.</p>
<p>The findings dispel the myth of the dumb blondes or good-looking men not being very bright.</p>
<p>It appears that those already physically blessed attract partners who  are not just good looking but brainy too, according to research by the  London School of Economics.</p>
<p>The children of these couples will  tend to inherit both qualities, building a genetic link over successive  generations between them.</p>
<p>LSE researcher Satoshi Kanazawa  told the Sunday Times: &#8221;Physical attractiveness is significantly  positively associated with general intelligence, both with and without  controls for social class, body size and health.</p>
<div><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft" title="Physicist Brian Cox" src="https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/01/16/article-1347651-0B33746D000005DC-866_233x209.jpg" alt="" width="233" height="209" /></div>
<p>&#8216;The association between attractiveness and general intelligence is also stronger among men than among women.&#8217;</p>
<p>In  other research on social standing, he found that middle-class girls  tended to have higher IQs than their working- class counterparts.</p>
<p>Among  the millions of examples of  beauty and brains, there&#8217;s supermodel Lily  Cole (pictured, top of page) who went  to  Cambridge University, actress Kate Beckinsale, an  Oxford graduate, and physicist Brian Cox (pictured), one-time keyboard player with  Dream.</p>
<p>In Britain, the study found that men who are  physically attractive had IQs an average 13.6 points above the norm  while women were about 11.4 points higher.</p>
<p>Kanazawa&#8217;s findings  were based on the National Child Development Study which followed 17,419  people since their birth in a single week in March, 1958.</p>
<p>Throughout  their childhood up to early adulthood, they were given a series of  tests for academic progress, intelligence and marked on appearance.</p>
<p>The  American research was taken from the National Longitudinal Study of  Adolescent Health which involved a similar study of 35,000 young  Americans.</p>

<div id="firstWrap">
<div>by Ed Dieckmann, Jr.</div>
<div>from <em>The American Mercury</em>, Winter, 1969</div>
<p>EARLY IN MAY of this year, a courageous mother, Mrs.             Lois Godfrey of Garden Grove, California, succeeded in getting <a title="'Sensitivity Training' News Archive Search: 1969 and older" href="http://news.google.com/archivesearch?as_q=&amp;num=10&amp;btnG=Search+Archives&amp;as_epq=sensitivity+training&amp;as_oq=&amp;as_eq=&amp;as_ldate=&amp;as_hdate=1969&amp;lr=&amp;as_src=&amp;as_price=p1&amp;as_scoring="> sensitivity training</a> outlawed, at least temporarily, in the             Garden Grove Unified School District. Mrs. Godfrey withdrew two of             her children from a class in which the process was being used, then             appeared before the school board where she was challenged to give a             definition of sensitivity training, which she gave, having received             it from me through State Senator <a title="Schmitz&#039;s Introduction to None Dare Call it Conspiracy" href="http://reactor-core.org/none-dare.html#introduction" class="broken_link">John             G. Schmitz</a> (pictured).</p>
<p>The definition:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Sensitivity training is defined as group meetings, large or               small, to discuss publicly intimate and personal matters, and               opinions, values or beliefs; and/or, to act out emotions and               feelings toward one another in the group, using techniques of               self-confession and mutual criticism.</p>
<p>It is also, &#8216;coercive persuasion in the form of thought reform or               brainwashing.'&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The second paragraph, admitting that sensitivity (human relations)             training is <em>brainwashing</em>, is from page 47 of <em>Issue In             Training</em>, a manual for group leaders published in 1962 by the             <a title="Sensitivity Training: New Age Psychology in the Church" href="http://www.rapidnet.com/%7Ejbeard/bdm/Psychology/sensit.htm" class="broken_link">National             Training Laboratories</a> (<a title="NTL Homepage" href="http://www.ntl.org/">NTL</a>) of the National Education Association             (NEA). That is, from the <em>main source</em> of sensitivity             training, from the &#8220;horse&#8217;s mouth!&#8221;</p>
<p>Many people tell me that, in saying this comes from the horse&#8217;s             mouth, I miss the target by the length of exactly one horse.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m forced to agree with them.</p>
<p>For what we are talking about is communist group criticism, a             destructive process that is used in every communist country every             day to control the people, to force their thinking into the             &#8220;correct&#8221; patterns; and to make sure that each person acts as the             fearful and submissive member of a group, a &#8220;collective.&#8221;</p>
<p><a title="Quotes and Excerpts - Brainwashing and 'Education Reform'" href="http://www.crossroad.to/Quotes/brainwashing.html">Edward             Hunter</a>, in his book <cite><a title="Brainwashing: From Pavlov to Powers (Unknown Binding), by Edward Hunter" href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0007H662M/conspiracyarc-20/">Brainwashing &#8211; From Pavlov to Powers</a></cite> (Bookmailer: 1965), calls group criticism &#8220;The greatest threat             against our society &#8211; the calculated creation of a national             neurosis.&#8221; Then he goes on: &#8220;The only Red defense has been to hush             up the subject, because even to deny it would bring attention to             it.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Pressure Has Increased</strong></p>
<p>Realizing this makes it easy to understand why, since my expose in             &#8220;Communism in Our Midst,&#8221; <em>American Mercury</em>, Summer 1967:             followed by &#8220;<a title="Hate therapy: Sensitivity training for " href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0006PAR66/conspiracyarc-20/">Hate Therapy</a>,&#8221; by Gary Allen,             <em>American Opinion</em>, January 1968; the pressure and pace of             the sensitivity assault have increased &#8212; with &#8220;voluntary&#8221;             participation increasingly replaced by the frankly brutal             insistence that sensitivity training be mandatory.</p>
<p>The outlawing of sensitivity training at Garden Grove has given             added force to that reaction. For it was at Garden Grove on             February 26, 1969, that 2,000 teachers were forced to attend a             seminar where psychologist Jack Frymer, of Ohio State University,             told them that &#8220;They should go to sensitivity training sessions in             order to know how to use ST on their pupils.&#8221; Already an attempt is             being made to sneak the process back again under the name             &#8220;Evaluation,&#8221; or another program called &#8220;Social Sciences             Framework.&#8221; School Superintendent <a title="Google News Archive Search: 'David Paynter'+'Garden Grove'" href="http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=%22David+Paynter%22+%22Garden+Grove%22&amp;btnG=Search+Archives&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;oe=UTF-8"> David Paynter</a> has suddenly decided that &#8220;sensitivity training             cannot be defined,&#8221;! and the battle rages on.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft" src="https://www.conspiracyarchive.com/images/2006/c/carlRogers.jpg" alt="Carl Rogers" width="140" height="159" /><a title="Carl Rogers and the IHM Nuns: Sensitivity Training, Psychological Warfare and the &#039;Catholic Problem&#039;" href="http://www.culturewars.com/CultureWars/1999/rogers.html" class="broken_link"> Carl Rogers</a>, Ph.D., of the <a href="http://www.ewtn.com/library/PRIESTS/COULSON.TXT" class="broken_link">Western Behavioral Sciences</a> Lab, and one of the chief             pushers of ST, was so shaken that when he spoke at Cerritos College             teat Long Beach on May 6, he refused to answer questions, stating,             &#8220;I do not know the audience.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Main Attack</strong></p>
<p>But the main attack comes on a much broader front:</p>
<ol>
<li> Recently California Senate Bill (SB) 1414 set a pattern for               repressive legislation in every state, providing, in its               &#8220;Poverty&#8221; provisions, Section I, for inservice sensitivity               training for all teachers under threat of losing tenure (their               jobs) if they do not submit.</li>
<li> In June, Robert Finch, of Health, Education &amp; Welfare,               announced plans for a national network (note word &#8220;network&#8221;), of               &#8220;experimental and demonstrations schools dedicated to the               innovative process.&#8221; Translation: <em>Sensitivity training for               planned change</em>.</li>
<li> Again in California, that testing lab for &#8220;<a title="Social Engineering for Global Change" href="http://www.crossroad.to/articles2/04/teichrib-engineering-social-change.htm">social               engineering</a>,&#8221; SB 474 was introduced in June by Senator               Beilenson (D), the same legislator who originated a bill in favor               of abortion. No. 474 would allow group leaders in ST or Human               Relations training to be licensed by the State, &#8220;to make sure               they are qualified.&#8221; This completely ignores the fact that,               whether the group leaders are qualified or not, no one has any               business forcing healthy people to take sensitivity training, &#8220;a               perversion of group therapy that makes healthy minds sick!&#8221;</li>
<li> To increase the pressure even more, The California Elementary               School Administrators Association (CESAA), now promotes <em>legal               contracts</em> with organizations teaching ST, such as the <a title="Education for Sex or Immorality" href="http://www.advancepublishing.com/schoolsincrisis/sicch12.pdf">Far West Laboratory</a> [pdf]. These contracts are made with school boards not alert to               what they are signing, &#8220;To evaluate curriculum, stressing               <em>human potential</em> and development of the child.&#8221; Again               <em>sensitivity training</em>.</li>
</ol>
<p>But the deadliest thrust is nationwide:</p>
<ol>
<li> The American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education               (AACTE), a department of the NEA, now reaches into <em>every               state</em> to force both teachers and teacher-candidates to               accept ST for <em>national</em> accreditation. That is, an               interstate teaching compact is being set up to enforce               nation-wide standards of &#8220;teacher understanding,&#8221; plus               <em>disciplinary moves against teachers or candidates who               protest!</em></li>
</ol>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>National Education Association</strong></p>
<p>On September 23, 1968, the then President of <a title="Chronology of the National Education Association" href="http://www.crossroad.to/Excerpts/chronologies/nea.htm">the             NEA</a>, Elizabeth D. Koontz, got into the AACTE at a meeting of             the association in New York. Said she:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The NEA has a multi-faceted program already directed toward the               urban school problem, embracing every phase, from the Head Start               Program to sensitivity training for adults &#8212; both teachers and               parents.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Thus she revealed the real goal: involvement of the entire             community in one gigantic laboratory of groups, exactly as in North             Vietnam, Russia, and Red China.</p>
<p>It is enlightening to know that this same Elizabeth Koontz, the             first Negro president of the NEA and a known member of the board of             <a href="http://www.crossroad.to/text/articles/ctfgc97.html">SIECUS</a>, the infamous &#8220;Sex Information &amp; Education             Council of the U.S.,&#8221; was appointed by President Nixon, earlier             this year, Director of the Womens&#8217; Bureau of the Department of             Labor!</p>
<p>Synchronized with this attack by what, we must remember, is             &#8220;coercive persuasion or brainwashing,&#8221; was the announcement last             February by New York University that it now offers a master&#8217;s             degree in sensitivity training; followed by Redlands University in             California with its trumpet blast in May that it, too, starts ST             this summer &#8212; and that it will be mandatory!</p>
<p>Thus a class of group trainers or &#8220;<a title="World Government Fronts, Psycho-social Change Agents" href="http://www.conspiracyarchive.com/NewAge/social_change_agents.htm">social             facilitators</a>&#8221; is coming into existence to &#8220;facilitate&#8221; the             understanding and &#8220;<a title="The Intelligent Student's Guide to the New World Order" href="http://www.conspiracyarchive.com/NWO/Intelligent_Students_NWO.htm">correct             thinking</a>&#8221; of you and your children. For the same thing is             happening, sparked by AACTE of the NEA, at nearly every college and             university in the United States, including any private or parochial             school that is foolish enough to accept either Federal funds or a             Ford grant.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Nixon Invited</strong></p>
<p>It is somehow fitting and just, in view of President Nixon&#8217;s             appointment of Mrs. Koontz, that in <em>Look</em> magazine, June             10, 1969, Nixon himself, along with his entire staff, was invited             to attend sensitivity training &#8220;in a series of interracial             confrontations&#8221;! Who invited him? None other than Ralph D.             Abernathy, of the Communist Southern &#8220;Christian&#8221; Leadership             Conference, left hand man of the late <a href="https://theamericanmercury.org/2011/02/the-all-too-real-sexual-frailty-of-martin-luther-king-jr/">Martin Luther King</a>.</p>
<p>Although this information tells us very much, it is still necessary             to ask where the force comes from that can react to the gradual             awakening of the American people, to the dangers of sensitivity             training, with such coordination and power. What is the source, the             origin, the Eye of the Octopus?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>State Advisory Committee</strong></p>
<p>A special advisory committee to the State Board of Education in             California hinted strongly at this source on May 9, 1969. Staffed             by such courageous conservatives as Dr. Edward Klotz, former             Special Assistant to the Board of Education, and Professor Harden             B. Jones, of Berkeley (who made an extensive study of the Nazi use             of ST in Hitler&#8217;s Germany), the committee concluded that:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Sensitivity training is being used by those who are in fact               aligned with revolutionary groups acting contrary to public               policy; that is, they intend to use the schools to destroy               American culture and traditions.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The path to the Eye of the Octopus, where the destruction             originates, extends much further than I at first supposed in 1967.             But complicated though the path may seem, and cancerous in its             meanderings, it is actually simple, in the way that an avalanche or             a raging forest fire may be said to be simple.</p>
<p>Before we take that path it is essential to understand two things:</p>
<ol>
<li> The <a title="The Delphi Technique: How To Achieve A Workable Consensus Within Time Limits" href="http://www.conspiracyarchive.com/NewAge/Delphi_Technique.htm"> &#8220;far-out&#8221; methods</a> of sensitivity training that have received               so much publicity, such as the nude marathons, the body               awareness, the intimate contacts and sexual permissiveness, are               not <em>allowed</em> in communist countries. These types are only               used on countries targeted to be softened and undermined for               subversion and conquest.</li>
<li> Sensitivity training, according to Melvin Anchell, M.D. of Los               Angeles, is clinically desensitization and should be called               &#8220;<em>In</em>sensitivity training.&#8221;</li>
</ol>
<p>With that as a foundation we can proceed without illusion, seeing             our subject steady and clear, knowing it not only for what it is &#8211;             but what it is not.</p>
<p><a title="The Great Deceit: Social Pseudo-Sciences (A Veritas Foundation Staff Study) (Hardcover), by Zygmund, ed.; Archibald B. Roosevelt, intro.; Veritas Foundation Staff Dobbs (Author)" href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000G97FEY/conspiracyarc-20/">The Great Deceit</a> (Veritas Foundation Staff Study:             1964), referring to the American socialist and one-worlder, <a title="Mental Health, Education And Social Control Part 2" href="http://www.newswithviews.com/Cuddy/dennis16.htm">E. A.             Ross</a> and his book <a title="Social Control: A Survey of the Foundations of Order (Paperback), by Edward Alsworth Ross" href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1410200655/conspiracyarc-20/">Social Control</a> (1901), points out that:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The main interest of leftist socialists is to construct               processes which are now lumped together under the popular term               &#8216;brainwashing&#8217; as a means of conditioning and indoctrinating the               mind of man.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>And further:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The left-wingers have as their aim the seizing of all society.               This includes not only all the wealth and political power, but               also control, through conditioning and manipulation, of the mind               and spirit of all mankind.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>It should therefore come as no shock, to those who study the             One-World Movement, to learn that the earliest One-World             organization, <em><a title="Illuminati Conspiracy Part One: A Precise Exegesis on the Available Evidence" href="http://www.conspiracyarchive.com/NWO/Illuminati.htm"> The Order of the Illuminati</a></em>, used sensitivity             training.<strong>*</strong></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>The Illuminati</strong></p>
<p>Founded in Bavaria on May 1, 1776, by the brilliant but degenerate             Adam Weishaupt, the <em>Illuminati</em> (Enlightened Ones) played a             major role in the French Revolution, before going underground in             1795 and emerging, partially, in 1848 as the League of the Just,             which hired Karl Marx to write the <em>Communist             Manifesto</em>.</p>
<p>Sensitivity training, as it turns out, is the most poisonous legacy             the <em>Illuminati</em> left us &#8211; and the main evidence we have             that the <em>Illuminati</em>, as a part of the overall conspiracy,             are very much with us today, not only in the United States, but             throughout the world.</p>
<p>Before we probe further for the Eye of the Octopus, a brief recap             is necessary. We already know the following:</p>
<p>That the self-criticism of the <em>Illuminati</em> was revived in             1929 by the Soviet Secret Police for use on Russian citizens; while             under the name of &#8220;sensitivity training&#8221; it was started in the U.S.             with the founding of the <a title="T-Groups" href="http://www.orgdct.com/more_on_t-groups.htm" class="broken_link">National Training Laboratories</a> of the NEA in             1946.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright" src="https://www.conspiracyarchive.com/images/2006/c/chisholm.jpg" alt="G. Brock Chisholm" width="132" height="167" />That in October, 1945,             a Leftist Canadian psychiatrist, <a title="Revealing Quotes On The Goals Of Psychiatry And Psychology" href="http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:IX5B0tX-GKkJ:www.psychquotes.com/+%22G.+Brock+Chisholm%22&amp;hl=en&amp;ct=clnk&amp;cd=5&amp;client=firefox-a"> G. Brock Chisholm</a>, gave <a title="The psychiatry of enduring peace and social progress; (The William Alanson White memorial lectures) (Unknown Binding), by George Brock Chisholm" href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0007IV8WY/conspiracyarc-20/">three lectures</a> in Washington, D.C. which laid the             foundations for both the &#8220;sex education&#8221; that is causing so much             trouble today and sensitivity training.</p>
<p>Now Chisholm was invited to give these lectures by Alger Hiss and             was warmly applauded by a Washington lawyer, Abe Fortas. It is easy             to see why Fortas liked the lectures.</p>
<p>Not only did Chisholm advocate doing away with the &#8220;ways of the             elders,&#8221; by force if need be, but also insisted we must do away             with the &#8220;concept of right and wrong;&#8221; start sex education in the             4th, 5th, and 6th grades; fumigate &#8220;Mom and Dad&#8221; psychologically             with self analysis, ST, that is; all with one race, one common             humanity, as the goal in a One-World Government.</p>
<p>This, of course, but scratches the surface of the Chisholm world             improvements; but we now know that a member of Chisholm&#8217;s staff             when Chisholm was Director of the World Health Organization (WHO),             was Dr. Frank Calderone, husband of Mary Calderone of SIECUS fame.             We are consequently not surprised again to learn that the &#8220;sex ed&#8221;             of the kind now being pushed is sensitivity training and that&#8217;s             what is wrong with it! All the ingredients are there:             self-confession, the lack of right and wrong, group consensus, the             &#8220;New Morality,&#8221; and the only loyalty that toward One-World, as             condensed in the <em>World Citizenship Credo</em> of the United             Nations: &#8220;<a title="Mental Health and World Citizenship" href="http://www.newswithviews.com/Cuddy/dennis14.htm">World Citizenship and             Mental Health</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p>Get it? If you are so blind as not to perceive the blessings of             One-World, you are less than healthy and <a title="Forced Mental Health Screening For Your Children" href="http://www.newswithviews.com/Devvy/kidd64.htm">ready for             shock treatments</a>.</p>
<p>In 1951 UNESCO, &#8220;United Nations Educational, Social and Cultural             Organization,&#8221; brought the chain of power behind sensitivity             training to a focus by imposing the UNESCO doctrine of &#8220;Social             Health&#8221; on the United States. This was done through the U.N. Joint             Commission of Mental Health, of which &#8220;our&#8221; National Education             Association, with its National Training Laboratories, is a member.</p>
<p>What is the UNESCO doctrine of social health?</p>
<p>Belief in One-World Government.</p>
<p>In that year 1951 the National Association for Mental Health, part             of Health, Education &amp; Welfare, and subordinate to UNESCO and             WHO, announced:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The principles of mental health cannot be successfully furthered               unless there is acceptance or the concept of world government.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>And then:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Our chief problem is . . . how individual and group resistance               to change can be overcome.</p>
<p>Or do you prefer, &#8220;We shall overcome?&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>As the late Congressman Usher L. Burdick put it:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;To bring this country into line to accept world government, many               things must be done by the U.N. and her agencies, such as UNESCO.               First of all, love of country is found by these conspirators to               be very deep and hard to destroy. Here UNESCO comes into play, to               teach these children, with specially trained teachers, that love               of country interferes, with loyalty to a world organization, that               they must transfer their loyalty to a world organization.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The &#8220;specially trained teachers&#8221; now come, in a steady stream, from             the many teachers&#8217; colleges where sensitivity training is             mandatory.</p>
<p>The American Legion, Department of California, declared, July 1,             1962:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The international cartelist structure, through which the               collateral descendants of 18th Century Illuminists control the               U.S. Government and its people today, is represented by the               subversive <a title="Politically Correct Treason" href="http://www.conspiracyarchive.com/NWO/Treason.htm">Council on Foreign               Relations</a>.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Of course.</p>
<p>Anyone who has read Gary Allen&#8217;s article on the             C.F.R.<strong>*</strong> is aware of the interlocking directorates,             memberships and influences that make the world conspiracy what <a title="Hilaire du Berrier: Spy From North Dakota" href="http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1571/is_1_15/ai_53510061/print" class="broken_link">Hilaire du             Berrier</a> has aptly called, &#8220;A Basket of Eels.&#8221;</p>

<p>The Eye of this particular Octopus, then, is UNESCO.</p>
<p>But something is missing.</p>
<p>The other eye.</p>
<p>For that trail we go to <a title="The New Age Files - Biogs and Info - The Esalen Institute" href="http://thenewagefiles.shadowweb.info/biogs_info/esalen.php" class="broken_link">The             Esalen Institute</a> between the Pacific and the pines of Big Sur.             The only note of optimism I have is that Esalen is named after an             extinct Indian tribe.</p>
<p>From now on, hold tight.</p>
<p><a title="Transpersonal Pioneers: Abraham Maslow" href="http://www.itp.edu/about/abraham_maslow.cfm" class="broken_link">Abraham M.             Maslow</a>, Ph.D., President of the leftist <a title="'Mind Control' in new Religious Movements and The American Psychological Association" href="http://www.rickross.com/reference/apologist/apologist40.html"> American Psychological Association</a>, on the staffs of both             Brandeis University and Esalen, has called Esalen, &#8220;Potentially the             most important educational institution <em>in the world</em>.&#8221;</p>
<p>He ought to know.</p>
<p>For although this strange collective of huts, halls, and swimming             pool has only been active since 1964, it has &#8220;serviced&#8221; more than             150,000 of the curious, the weak, and the sinister, in search of             their &#8220;<a title="Human Potential Movement: Encyclopedia of Psychology" href="http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_g2699/is_0001/ai_2699000166" class="broken_link">human             potential</a>,&#8221; including teachers from the C.T.A.: California             Teachers Associations.</p>
<p>The chief characteristic of Esalen, once you get past the first             shock of the obvious degeneracy, is the unmistakable evidence of             widespread overlapping and cross-fertilization. The National             Training Labs are very much involved in Esalen; and Carl Rogers,             advisor to Esalen and member of the Western Behavioral Sciences             Institute at La Jolla, California, admits that, &#8220;all groups start             from the NTL.&#8221;</p>
<p>Not only does Esalen have a weekly program over San Francisco             station KQED, but the staff and advisors includes psychiatrist             Frederick Perls, developer of <a title="Gestalt therapy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestalt_therapy">gestalt             therapy</a>, &#8220;a hostile personality,&#8221; according to a woman who             questioned him once about the value of sensitivity training.</p>
<p>Then, of course, there is <a title="&#039;Permanence for Hayakawa,&#039; Time Magazine, Friday, Jul. 18, 1969" href="http://www.time.com/time/magazine/printout/0,8816,901065,00.html" class="broken_link"> S. I. Hayakawa</a>, now permanent president of San Francisco State             College, a staunch advocate of sensitivity training an advisor to             Esalen.</p>
<p>There is also <a title="Esalen: Will Schutz" href="http://www.esalen.org/air/essays/will_schutz.htm" class="broken_link">William Schutz</a>, Ph.D., who, when I             debated him on the Joe Dolan Show in Oakland last February, gave me             the opportunity to point out to the audience, not only that the             Nazis used sensitivity training in their &#8220;<a title=" Kraft durch Freude" href="http://www.feldgrau.com/KdF.html">Strength Through Joy</a>&#8221; movement, but             that Schutz, by the sheerest coincidence, is the author of a book             on ST whose title is <em>JOY</em>.</p>
<p>But I grow lyrical and, while that&#8217;s easy to do with Esalen, it&#8217;s             not proper when dealing with an octopus.</p>
<p>We have seen that all groups start with the NTL and that the             NTL-NEA combine is prominent at Esalen.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>European Network</strong></p>
<p>Now let&#8217;s shift our focus from Esalen to the NTL and its double             headquarters at <a href="http://www.ntl.org/mirror-site/about-bethel.html" class="broken_link">Bethel, Maine</a>; and Washington, D.C. (1201 16th St.,             N.W.). We find that a web of NTL programs is being conducted in             Puerto Rico, Mexico, Nigeria, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, England,             France, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, Japan, West Germany,             Australia and New Zealand!</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft" src="https://www.conspiracyarchive.com/images/2006/t/tavistock-esalen.jpg" alt="Tavistock and Esalen Institutes" width="150" height="270" /> This European network extends from England and the <a href="http://educate-yourself.org/nwo/nwotavistockbestkeptsecret.shtml">Tavistock Institute</a>, <a href="http://www.le.ac.uk/greenwood/gw_courses2.html" class="broken_link">University of Leicester</a>, to the Institute of Social             Research, University of Vienna, Austria; The Technological             Institute in Denmark; and the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lievegoed">Netherlands             Pedagogical Institute</a> at Zeist.</p>
<p>In Germany, The German Productivity Center; in Sweden, the State             Technological Institute; and from there, always under NTL control,             the network spreads to six centers in France, foremost of which is             the Social Psychology Laboratory of the Sorbonne (scene of the <a href="http://www.marxists.org/history/france/may-1968/index.htm">leftists riots, May, 1968</a>), and the National             Association for the Development of Humane Sciences, at the             Universities of Bordeaux and Strasbourg.</p>
<p>It is instructive to know that, in September, 1969, sex &#8220;Family             Life&#8221; education started in the schools of West Germany.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>India and Pakistan</strong></p>
<p>Tempting as it is to take a closer look at this sub-network in             Europe, the NTL programs on the other side of the world, in             Pakistan and Socialist India, demand our attention.</p>
<p>For several years Pakistan, split into East and West by Northern             India, was &#8220;beneficiary&#8221; of sensitivity training from the NTL             trained School of Public Administration, UCLA, before the             communist-led riots tore that divided country even more apart last             year. The smug report of liberal Associate Professor Robert             Abramson: <em>Techniques of Sensitivity (Human Relations) Training             and Their Application in Pakistan</em> (UCLA: 1967), makes it only             too clear what an impact ST had on that unhappy land.</p>
<p><em>India and Pakistan</em>. Have we hit on something?</p>
<p>Consider this. Michael Murphy, owner of Esalen, is an unusual             character. Just being the brother of Dennis Murphy, author of             <em>The Sergeant</em>, now a movie about a homosexual sergeant in,             of course, the U.S. Army, makes him unique enough.</p>
<p>But in 1948-&#8217;49 <a title="Michael Murphy Speaks On Transformation And Evolution" href="http://www.lifepositive.com/Mind/personal-growth/transformation/michaelmurphy.asp" class="broken_link">Michael             Murphy</a> studied in India at a place called <a title="Auroville Homepage" href="http://www.auroville.org/">Auroville</a>. Auroville is on the east             Coromandel coast of the Bay of Bengal, just outside the former             French city of Pondicherry.</p>
<p>As coincidence would have it, young Mike studied collectivist             doctrine under a &#8220;guru&#8221; who in reality was <a title="Sri Aurobindo Ghosh and Bede Griffiths" href="http://www.wandea.org.pl/bede-giffiths.html">an old Marxist             revolutionary</a> named Sri Aurobindo. The gentle Aurobindo was a             Cambridge graduate born in 1872 <a title="Alipore bomb case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alipore_bomb_case">and             had once in 1908, been jailed</a> by the British for a very             ungentle bomb plot.</p>
<p>He died in 1950, but not before indoctrinating Murphy in what he             must do, as well as laying plans for a much larger Auroville and             <em>Ashram</em> or Growth Center. Aurobindo&#8217;s wife, now 92 and             known as &#8220;The Mother,&#8221; became and remains titular head of             Auroville, &#8220;the Planetary City.&#8221;</p>
<p>Murphy returned to the U.S. and, almost literally, went into a             cocoon, while the world changed and Western civilizations, as we             know it, became hell-bent for suicide. Then, in 1964, Esalen sprang             into being on Murphy&#8217;s land in Big Sur, midway between Hearst             Castle and Monterey. Miraculously, it was revealed that the Growth             Center of Auroville in India was ready to grow. Just as             miraculously, or so it seemed, the Growth Center of Esalen was             joined by other &#8220;Ashrams for human potential&#8221; throughout the U.S.             and Canada:</p>

<p>And miracle of miracles, the growth of the &#8220;awareness&#8221; centers             multiplied, as though from the splitting of an amoeba, into             something called &#8220;Intentional Communities,&#8221; 69 of them, all the way             from The Children of Light Commune in Gila Bend, Arizona, to Magic             Mountain (Spartacist), Seattle, Washington; and many others in             Canada, Japan, Central America, France, New Zealand, even Israel.</p>
<p>Do you suppose we should take another look at Auroville?</p>
<p>The first thing we notice is that the Auroville center has indeed             had a tremendous growth since the death of its founder 19 years             ago, and that it is now a small city with an expected population             for the near future of 50,000 from all walks of life and all             countries, all believers in one-world, one race, one government.</p>
<p>The second thing to notice is that Auroville receives, and has             received for years, the hard <a title="Thirty-fifth anniversary of the founding of Auroville: UNESCO" href="http://portal.unesco.org/fr/ev.php-URL_ID=11235&amp;URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&amp;URL_SECTION=201.html" class="broken_link"> financial support</a> of that first Eye of the Octopus, UNESCO. It             is this hard cash that has encouraged French architect, Roger             Anger, to develop &#8220;concrete plans for Auroville to be <a title="Auroville Center for Urban Research" href="http://www.auroville.info/ACUR/urban_research/avfuture.htm" class="broken_link">a model city</a> for             the whole planet.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Equals One</strong></p>
<p>But even before you digest <em>that</em>, be advised that Auroville             publishes a magazine with the strange, but revealing title of             <em>Equals One</em>. The &#8220;magazine&#8221; is actually an esoteric pink             package of arty booklets, obviously to appeal to the idealistic             novice worker for One-World Brotherhood, each booklet taking him             from &#8220;service to mankind&#8221; to the higher mysteries, until finally             the highest mystery or &#8220;illumination&#8221; of all is revealed: the real             goal of the organization, world dictatorship &#8211; the exact methods             and goal of the 18th Century <em>Order of the Illuminati</em>.</p>
<p>Coincidence?</p>
<p>Where do you suppose you apply for a year&#8217;s subscription to             <em>Equals One</em>?</p>
<p>Well, you could write to:</p>
<p>Navajata, General Secretary,<br />
The Auroville Office and the Sri Aurobindo Society,<br />
Pondicherry 2, India.</p>
<p>But why bother?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s much easier, and faster, to send your $6.00 to:</p>
<p>The Lucis Publishing Company<br />
866 United Nations Plaza<br />
New York, N.Y. 10017</p>
<p>Address your letter to Jack H. T. Albert.</p>
<p>And as you do, be also advised that the Lucis Publishing Company is             the former &#8220;Lucifer&#8221; Publishing Co. (something about that name             bothered people), and the publishing outlet for <em>Lucis             Magazine</em>, the official, self-admitted magazine of today&#8217;s             <em>Order of the Illuminati</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Lucis Magazine</strong></p>
<p>Owned by the <a title=" Lucis (Lucifer) Trust, Alice Bailey, World Goodwill and the False Light of the World" href="http://www.conspiracyarchive.com/NewAge/Lucis_Trust.htm"> Lucis Trust</a>, <em>Lucis Magazine</em> is published by the <a title="The Pre-Nicene Gnosto-Catholic Church" href="http://www.gnostic.info/palatine_pre-nicene.html" class="broken_link">Pre-Nicene [Gnostic]             Publishing House</a>, B.C.M. Consortium, W.C.I., London, England,             and edited by a mysterious Italo-Englishmen <a title="The Wondering Bishops: Apostles of a New Spirituality" href="http://www.hometemple.org/WanBishWeb%20Complete.pdf#search=Richard%20Duc%20de%20Palatine">Richard             Duc de Palatine</a> <small>[7MB PDF]</small>.</p>
<p>A researcher on the West Coast, who I dare not name because sources             of information would dry up, tells me that <em>The Illuminati</em> use several fronts, one of which is <em>The Order of <a href="http://www.kheper.net/topics/Gnosticism/Pleroma.html" class="broken_link">Pleroma</a></em>, in Los Angeles. Headed by one Stephen             Heller (as fitting a name as Lucifer), it is connected with The             Anderson Institute, a sensitivity training organization advertised             in <em>The Free Press</em>, and other underground papers.</p>
<p>All this is just wild coincidence &#8211; and if you don&#8217;t think so just             ask any member of the staff of Esalen.</p>
<p>But still something is missing. There must be a center; that is, a             control for the direction and coordination of the other centers. We             find it deep in what we suddenly realize is another front:</p>

<p>This magazine, which advertises itself as &#8220;A <em>network</em> of             communication for those forming a coalition of concern for man&#8217;s             future,&#8221; was started in 1967 and is stabilized on a line running             from Auroville in India to the <a title="The New Cult in Washington | Edith Kermit Roosevelt" href="http://www.conspiracyarchive.com/NewAge/Washington_Cult.htm">Temple             of Understanding in Washington</a>, D.C.
