Wild, Wonderful West Virginia
Hello, and welcome to American Dissident Voices, the Internet radio program of the National Alliance. I'm your host and Chairman of the Alliance, Erich Gliebe. Today's broadcast will be my speech at last weekend's National Alliance Leadership Conference at our headquarters in Hillsboro, West Virginia.
The Cause for which we fight was shaped into the form of our organization by our founder, the late Dr. William L. Pierce, whose name decorates and ennobles this structure in which we are assembled today. Words cannot fully convey the love Dr. Pierce had for our race, but his life's actions tell the full story. Dr. Pierce left a comfortable life of relative ease in the academic community before giving up the life of a physics professor to devote himself to the renaissance of his people. And the organization that he built stands as a testimony to his vision even today, more than five years after his passing.
As a physics professor, Dr. Pierce would have been looked upon by the rest of society as a more-or-less "normal" person. Not that the rest of us view physics professors in general as "normal" people, because most of us don't have the math or science backgrounds to be able to understand all of the details relating to the everyday work of a physics professor. But even physics professors are considered "normal" people -- for one, because the basic ideas that they work with and the projects they are working on can be generally understood by otherwise normally intelligent people, and two, because physics professors have more-or-less the same values that everyone else has in this society. And those values are the ones the Jewish-dominated media have deemed to be appropriate for citizens in this multicultural era. Not even physics professors, no matter how intelligent, are immune from the pernicious influence of the ever-present media, whose primary goal seems to be making White people hate themselves and their race.
But of course, Dr. Pierce was not, by any stretch of the imagination, a "normal" person. If he had been "normal," he would have been so wrapped up in his own life in academia that he would have failed to see the insanity that was taking place in society around him. Or if he HAD noticed, the "normal" thing to do would have been to sit around and bellyache about it. After all, "normal" people don't step outside their comfort zones to find out the root causes of the events in the world around them, and they NEVER dare to actually DO something to try to address the problems they find.
But Dr. Pierce did all of that. He not only was able to look beyond the nearness of his own life and notice what was going on in the world around him, but he also hunted around until he was satisfied that he had found the root causes of the ills in American society of the '60s and '70s, despite the social penalties associated with coming to the conclusions he did; namely, that the Jews are the purveyors of the most dangerous ideas today and that the White race must find its own soul again in order that it continue to survive and progress in a competitive world.
And finally, Dr. Pierce took direct and concrete action in trying to address those ills. He founded an organization and headed it as best he could, building as much useful media as he could in an effort to share with other Whites the truths that he had learned. He sold books related to the Jews and other topics of interest to Our Cause, and even wrote a few action novels, not to mention countless articles for Attack! and National Vanguard. He set up the National Office here on this property, acquired a record company to disseminate the message of White resistance to a wider audience, and single-handedly kept American Dissident Voices going for several years when an earlier producer took a prolonged leave of absence.
So Dr. Pierce could have been a "normal" guy, but by the choices he made and by his refusal to give anything but his very best, he became great in the eyes of his people. It is my hope that his name will be remembered until the end of time because, if it is, that will mean that our race will have survived this precarious moment in our history and will have built a new world based on the values that Dr. Pierce himself espoused.
Let's take another look at being "normal" and being "great" at the same time, and this look will be from a different point of view. Let me draw an analogy to the game of baseball, something all of us played when we were kids.
And despite the fact that Major League Baseball, like all other professional sports in the United States, is a money-driven business enterprise that is completely devoid of any hint of racial loyalty (particularly for Whites), the baseball playoffs give us some concrete examples of personal greatness within the context of a commitment to a larger entity.
Perhaps in no other sport is individual accountability for team success more evident than in baseball. In sports like basketball or football, if one player isn't having a good night, you can keep giving the ball to someone who is. Not so in baseball. On most nights, the best or hottest hitter on the team will get to the plate four or perhaps five times, and the opposing team is always free to pitch around a hot batter, sending him to first base intentionally, if the defense thinks that a free base will improve their chances of winning the game.
And perhaps at no other time of the year do ordinary people become heroes. Sure, there are always the stars on the teams that make the baseball postseason, and if those stars don't perform at or at least near to their ability levels, then their teams are likely to have a tough time in the playoffs. The highest-paid player in baseball, the New York Yankees' Alex Rodriguez, is known to struggle at the plate during the postseason… and this year was no exception, a fact that contributed to the Yankees' elimination from the playoffs in the first round, again.
But almost always there are some more-or-less "normal" players who step up to the challenge of the big stage and make contributions during the big series games that few people expected. One of these was Cleveland Indians' pitcher Paul Byrd, who gave up two runs in five innings in the deciding Game Four of the American League Division Series between the Indians and the Yankees. Byrd is known as a quality, middle-of-the-road starter, but nothing close to being a superstar. But Byrd came through when his team needed him, shutting down the Yankees' high-powered offense after the Yankees had started to gain some momentum back by winning Game Three after losing the first two in Cleveland. No one had given Byrd a chance to defeat the Yankees. In fact, many in the media predicted that he would get lit up like a Christmas tree by the Yankee hitters.
Now, as many of you know, I'm from the Cleveland area, and the average person in northern Ohio is all excited about the Indians bid to get to the World Series this year. The Indians' series victory over the Yankees sent them to face the Boston Red Sox and, as some of you might know, THAT series is now in progress. But if you want to get a friendly conversation started in Cleveland these days, just bring up the Indians and their quest for their first World Series victory since 1948.
Aside from Paul Byrd's victory in Game Four over the Yankees, there are many other recent "great" performances by "normal" players. In 2006, it was 5-foot-7-inch St. Louis Cardinal shortstop David Eckstein who was the World Series Most Valuable Player. Everyone always knew Eckstein was a consistent and steady player, but this "normal" lightweight shortstop outshone everyone else in the 2006 World Series.
Again, I'm not here to promote the multiracial business of baseball. Spectator sports in general distract millions of our people away from what SHOULD be their primary concerns and, as such, as racialists we cannot wholeheartedly endorse any professional sports. But there is no doubt that the mental and physical toughness that are learned by participating in sports, together with the values of individual responsibility and a "team-first" outlook, are very valuable life lessons that can carry over into other and more important areas of life. Thousands of years ago, the ancient Greeks knew of the many benefits of athletic contests. All of those reasons together will result in there being plenty of sporting activities available to all when we in the Alliance have led our people to our White racial homeland.
That goal of a monoracial homeland, of course, is still a ways off, but that's the reason why we are here today. And I challenge each of you here today to use your imagination a bit and to find a connection between yourself and some athlete -- great or small -- who has consistently made a remarkable contribution to his sport, or who perhaps seized a moment in time when he was on the world stage and did something great for his team. For most of us, that won't be too hard a task, since most Whites have (or used to have) one or more favorite professional athletes.
Anyway, it seems to me that whenever a "normal" athlete does something extraordinary on the field or court, it is almost always that the athlete is just doing his best to help his team win. Not that the individual accolades aren't welcome or appreciated by athletes, but the deeds that bring about those accolades -- particularly for athletes who win awards based on short-term contests, say, the World Series or Super Bowl MVP Awards -- are done NOT with the eye of the athlete focused on individual glory, but rather focused on team victory. Last year's Super Bowl MVP, the Colts' Peyton Manning, didn't appear to me to be out to hog all the glory for himself during the Super Bowl; he did what he did because he wanted his team to win the game. In other words, great things can happen when you just focus on doing your best, with an eye toward the team winning.
In the Alliance, we can benefit from this mindset. Most of us are so-called "normal" people -- not in terms of our philosophical outlook, but at least in terms of our intelligence and various skills. This relative "normalness" is evident in that our members of whatever age and profession are able to interact successfully with the people around them: in the neighborhood, in the community, and at the workplace. If our members were hate-laced crazies as the Jewish media would like everyone to believe, then they wouldn't blend in with the rest of society so easily. They wouldn't function so well among so many nonracialists. But they DO blend in, and they DO function well.
But just because National Alliance members blend in doesn't mean that they are indistinguishable from the mainstreamers around them. We certainly are. We have a love for our race that is strong enough to induce us to want to DO something to help out our people, and guts enough to send in an application and our money to get our names on the Alliance membership roster. And for those of us here at this conference: Our job, as leaders and potential leaders in the foremost racialist organization in the United States, is to unify our entire membership and coordinate our collective efforts so as to bring about the radical changes that our race requires and that this organization strives for.
And perhaps the best way to motivate the other Alliance members we interact with is to lead by example. Leading by example is easily done by otherwise "normal" people who seize the moment of opportunity when it presents itself and become the person who "gets it done," who is "a finisher," who "delivers." He doesn't have to be a great leader or a great war hero. He just has to be able to have a ready answer to the question that will hopefully be posed to him by his children in the very near future: "Daddy, what did YOU do in the Revolution?"
You know, most of us here don't think of ourselves as being heroes, and that's okay. Maybe it's better that way. Maybe the man who IS overly-concerned about being a hero is so consumed by that desire that he forgets that it is the TEAM that should be given first priority. Maybe he puts himself above the team, so hungry for fame and recognition that he actually hurts the team. That happens sometimes in sports, and we certainly don't need that sort of attitude here in the Alliance.
But there IS a hero of some sort within all of us, even the most "normal" of racially-conscious White people. I honestly believe that. I HAVE to believe that.
How else could we explain the deeds of sacrifice and heroism by "normal" White men and women down through the ages? How do we explain the "never give up" and "can do" attitudes of the White men and women who tamed both the wilderness and the Indians as White America spread west? How do we explain the incredible acts of heroism and self-sacrifice performed by White men of all ages and social backgrounds who fought on both sides of the tragic conflict we call the Civil War? How do we explain the fighting spirit and unity of purpose of the White men from all over Europe who -- in the 1940s -- took on the Communist hordes amidst the unimaginably hard conditions on the Eastern Front? And how do we explain the dedication and faith exhibited by all of those who carried on the German war effort at home, and who -- in the latter stages of the war -- suffered under the pounding from the Allied bombing raids night after night and month after month?
The only explanation I can fathom is that, in each one of us, there is a spark of heroism. We don't have to look at it that way, just as the pioneers who tamed the West didn't view themselves as heroes. Even the greatest among us, our founder Dr. Pierce, didn't view himself as a hero. He viewed himself as a man who had a job to do, and he did that job to the best of his ability.
And the quality that he put into the task that he set for himself -- coupled with his unfailing commitment to putting his people before himself -- MADE him great.
If we take to heart the path set out for us by Dr. Pierce -- give yourself a task, put your race before yourself, and complete your task to the best of your ability -- we too have the opportunity to develop and harvest the greatness that lies within each one of us.
And an organization with a self-consistent racialist worldview that is filled with members who are doing their utmost to cultivate the greatness bestowed to them by their ancestors… Now, THAT'S an organization that WILL lead our people to freedom -- and ultimate victory.
The time for greatness is now. Step into it.
Thank you.
