Hello, and welcome back to this week’s broadcast of American Dissident Voices, the Internet radio program of North America’s foremost racialist organization, the National Alliance. I’m your host and the Chairman of the Alliance, Erich Gliebe.
You know, no one has ever claimed that the goals for which the men and women of the White Racialist Cause are aiming are easy goals to achieve: a White, monoracial homeland; a frugal and honest government that truly has the long-term interests of its own citizens at heart; a White economy that will both provide for the material well-being of our people and will give our working men and women useful work for their lives; a White educational system that nurtures the mind, body, and soul of the White youth it is entrusted to mold; a White media that is open and honest about all of the facts – including those about race – and uses its power to build up the morale and the character of our people rather than to tear those down; and so on.
We could probably use up an entire American Dissident Voices broadcast in naming off all of the ways in which the society that we aim to create will differ from the one in which we find ourselves, but that in itself wouldn’t get us much closer to achieving those goals. In any case, whether we list them all specifically or not, my point for the moment is that none of them will be easily attained.
On the one hand, that’s too bad, because no one can doubt that the world that we White racialists would create would be infinitely better than the society as it is set up today. But on the other hand, few (if any) things that are truly worthwhile – are truly of value – are easily attained. The fact that our goals are lofty ones that will require us to bring to bear all of our powers of intelligence, planning, determination, and will power should encourage us that those goals are very much worth pursuing. And once those goals are achieved, it will make our victory all that more rewarding.
Well, while every well-informed observer acknowledges the difficulties we in the White Racialist Cause are up against, the point that we find ourselves at today is much like the one we have been up against for years now. In other words, we today face much the same hurdles that Dr. William Pierce did when he founded the organization I head, the National Alliance, in the 1970s. I will list for you the two main hurdles, and then we’ll discuss them briefly.
The first hurdle we face is that the knowledge of our race’s plight and a deep understanding of the truly evolutionary consequences that that plight holds for the biological future of this planet is greatly lacking among a large fraction of the White population worldwide. Many White people have a shortsighted or – one might say – an overly personal view of bits and pieces of our racial situation. For example, many Whites have been hurt over the last 50 years by the loss of manufacturing and industrial jobs in the White world. And many Whites have noticed and are upset that portions of so many of our cities and towns have been overrun by non-White groups: mestizos, Blacks, Asians, and so on.
The Whites who have been hit by job losses in the industrial sector of the economy or who have noticed the higher crime rates, the falling academic standards of local schools, and the loosening of morality that accompanies larger number of non-Whites in their locales DO, in fact, have some knowledge about the White racial situation, but much of their perspective is too narrow, too personal. They don’t have a broad grasp of the wider racial situation that is occurring not just throughout the United States, but also throughout the entire White world. Furthermore, these Whites look at the slice of the problem that they have recognized with a “chip on the shoulder” attitude: they would like the problem to be fixed FOR THEM, and they don’t care very much about fixing the problem for other Whites. And they certainly don’t have any idea about the society-wide changes that would be necessary in order to make possible a “fixing” of the problem for every White individual who has been negatively affected by the changes imposed by our racial enemies.
So our first hurdle is a broad lack of information on all of the facts that relate to the White racial situation today. This hurdle has long been recognized by leaders in the White Racialist Cause who have taken actions for decades now in an attempt to address it. In the 1950s and 1960s, White patriots addressed the problem by giving public speeches, engaging in debates, and by publishing newsletters and newspapers related to racial and other patriotic issues. Over the years, White groups gathered and sold books related to racial issues. In the National Alliance, our outreach efforts have grown much since the organization’s founding: today, we use the Internet, we sell recordings of great speeches and racialist music, and we have published several high-quality magazines in disseminating our message. Useful projects taken on by the membership of the National Alliance include all kinds of local outreach work, all of which is meant to educate our kinsmen about the racial situation in its entirety and in all its complexity.
So the education of a broad swath of our race on the large scope of the problem we are up against is the first hurdle that we have to jump. That isn’t an easy one, as is obvious by the only partial success we have had in that department over the years. No one doubts that we have made progress in this area but, by the same token, no one doubts that we have a very long way to go as well.
But aside from the education of our people, another hurdle relates to the idea of White people BELIEVING whether or not the salvation of the race is actually possible. This is a crucial hurdle to address, but it is well-known that there is a strong correlation between BELIEVING you can do something and actually doing it. In the same sense, there is also a strong correlation between NOT believing that you can do something and NOT being able to do it. A simple point, really, but one that we all need to keep in mind as we go through life, and certainly one that deserves some thought for us in the White Racialist Cause, as we try to lead our people out of their darkness and confusion.
Compared to this second hurdle – the one of belief – the hurdle of educating our people is relatively straightforward. If we oversimplify a little, educating White people about the severity of the White racial situation amounts to gathering and presenting a collection of facts and figures, preferably in an eye-catching and easily understood fashion. In theory, this is done fairly easily; in practice, it isn’t too much more difficult: you obtain the means for disseminating the information, you gather the information, and you disseminate it. Done.
But informing the White population about what needs to be done in terms of re-structuring society and why it needs to be done is a totally different animal than convincing them that it is actually possible for that to happen and, moreover, that it is possible for them to play an active and meaningful role in that transformation. For better or worse, most people “think too small” to easily become convinced of the possibility of things that don’t already have some sort of concrete existence. And since almost nothing that even closely approximates a White racial state currently exists, most people simply have an incredibly hard time actually believing that it could happen… even if they are completely convinced that it SHOULD happen.
For some of you out there, it might seem like an odd state of affairs that someone could become convinced of the NEED for something to happen but fail to believe that it COULD happen. As a trivial example, consider the case of the four- or five-year-old child who wants to learn to ride a bike without training wheels. And this is something I’m currently dealing with, as I have a four-year-old son who is now learning how to ride a bike. As many parents can attest, there is often – but not always – a significant time lag in between a child WANTING to ride a bike and then BELIEVING that he or she is ABLE to ride. Sometimes, a child will see other children riding along the street and realize, “Hey, I want to do that, too.” So, he will climb on a bike… and promptly crash. Maybe he will try again, only to crash to the earth again. If he landed on the grass, then probably only his pride will be hurt; if he landed on the concrete, then it is likely he will have a skinned-up knee in addition to his hurt pride. In any case, the child will probably leave the bike where it is and come inside to nurse his hurts, whatever they may be.
For the child trying to learn to ride a bike, it is at this point that the “I want that” versus the “I believe that it is possible” conflict becomes acute. The child sees other children enjoying themselves by riding bikes, and he wants that. He also notices that the other children can get from one end of the street to the other more quickly by biking than he can by running. He wants that for himself, too.
But – for a while, anyway – he doubts that riding a bike is possible for him. He has fallen down a few times already, and he has noticed that falls are painful: they sometimes result in bloody limbs, and they always result in bruised egos. He might sit inside the house, looking out the window at the other children playing and riding their bikes. At this point, the first response the child will give if you inquire about the possibility of him learning to ride will be, “I can’t.” No matter what line of reasoning you take with the child – for example, “everybody falls their first few times,” “if you keep trying, you’ll get it,” “all of THOSE kids learned how to do it” – his “I can’t” response will stick for varying lengths of time, depending on the child. Eventually, however, the desire of the child to ride – coupled with the clear evidence (in the form of other kids) that it CAN be done – will lead the child to continue trying until one day he can ride. But even with something simply like learning to ride a bike, there is a clear distinction between “what I’d like to have” and “I believe that it is possible.”
This same “I want” vs. “I believe” discrepancy applies not just to four-year olds riding bicycles, but also to mature Whites who want a better and Whiter future for themselves, their children, and their grandchildren. Through the educational efforts of the National Alliance and other legitimate racialist organizations worldwide, many Whites have been able to say – at least to themselves – “I want a Whiter future.” They see the goodness and nobility in the White Racialist Cause. I would venture to say that the number of Whites who would admit to wanting such a future has increased greatly over the last decade.
Unfortunately, of those Whites who see the necessity of our task, only a small number have become convinced of the possibility that the task can be successfully completed. And because of that, only a small number have become active in working toward the completion of the task. All of this leaves us no closer to our ultimate ends.
It is very easy to see why people DOUBT, why they DON’T believe that it is possible to achieve a White racial homeland with a White government and a White economy and White schools and a White media. Remember the kid who wanted to ride a bike? As he sits inside the house looking out the window, there is evidence galore – right before his eyes, and in the form of many other kids on the block – that riding a bike is very definitely possible. All he has to do is figure out how to do it.
In the White Racialist Cause, we don’t have the benefit of looking at a contemporary example of what we want to achieve. If that were the case, belief would be much easier. All we’d have to do is say: “Hey, look, THEY have a White racial homeland. So it’s definitely possible. Come on, we can do it, too.” But instead, we are hampered by the fact that there are no concrete examples in the world today that would help us CREATE BELIEF in the minds of our downtrodden kinsmen. That makes our task a herculean one.
And what we need to give the White Racialist Cause a good shove over the BELIEF hurdle is true dreamers, true visionaries, people who see the completion of the goal so clearly that they can’t help but draw other people in their wake, inspiring them to contribute to the cause. We need people in Our Cause like those who first believed that men could walk on the Moon. We need people in Our Cause who are kindred spirits to Henry Ford and Walt Disney, men who didn’t need a concrete example to know where they wanted to go and who BELIEVED so completely that it was possible for them to get there… that it was impossible that they would fail.
We need men and women like you to be those dreamers, so that together we can show the rest of our people that what we want is not only worthwhile, but also within the realm of possibility.
I’m Erich Gliebe, and thanks for being with me again today.
