Understanding Our History

One of the weird things about the Cloud people is how they talk about history as if it is a spirit force or a god. In his State of the Union speech, Biden kept saying things like “history is watching us” and “history requires us” as if “history” was the name of the guy controlling the simulation. He is not the only one who does this. In fact, he never talked like this until the rest of the Cloud people started doing it.

One reason for talking about history this way is it gives them a false sense of moral authority for their various schemes. They claim that history moves toward some paradise, so if their schemes advance us toward that paradise, then they must be on the side of history. It is all nonsense, of course, but nonsense has been the fuel of fanatics and lunatics since the dawn of time.

Even with a sober-minded ruling class, however, there would still be this need to shape history so that the present feels inevitable. Much of what has brought us to the present crisis is the shaping of history to fit the causes of the moment. Our progressive ruling class has been rewriting history since Gettysburg, maybe even since the Battle of Naseby, because the future is certain, but the past is unpredictable.

That is the show this week. I am taking a brief stab at reframing American history in a way that not only helps us understand how we got here but justifies why we must do that which must be done to restore sanity. I am stealing for another “Z” man, Howard Zinn, and creating a dissident version of American history. Maybe more like taking a first stab at the idea of creating a Dirt People history of America.

Schumer’s demand for Netanyahu’s ouster is an Israeli internecine conflict wrapped in an American delusion. It is another manifestation of the Israeli protests over the latter’s judicial reforms, as the Israeli courts are the last bastion of Ashkenazi political control in that country. American Jews in positions of power are decidedly Ashkenazi in their sensibilities. Netanyahu, despite his own background, represents the Sephardi/Mizrahi Jewish body politic. The American delusion comes into play in that faced with an unwinnable situation abroad, maybe even a defeat, the solution is always to try and overthrow the leader of your opponent, since whoever replaces… Read more »

The Schoolhouse Rock cartoon about Bill on Capitol Hill came along right about when the process it depicted had ceased to exist. I don’t see that as coincidental. Analogous to (here I go again) the Clancy novels about the patriotic CIA analyst, brave and true, published around the same time that the intelligence community was taking over the rest of the regime.

Great show Z, however I take issue with “the settlers killed the Indians and stole their land.” No… They conquered the Indians and took possession of conquered lands. The way it’s been done since the first caveman conquered his neighbor and took possession of his cave and women. There is a drastic difference between stole and conquered. Stealing is taking with little risk involved. where as conquest requires risk of losing life and resources. When you say “killed and stole” that’s how a leftist kook would reframe conquest. Which is simply a hard wired part of human nature across all… Read more »

RE: The echoey sound in the Z-Man’s new “Eagle’s Nest” mountain top studio. It’s possible all of the audio filters you were using to mask all of the various background noises in Lagos (basketball thuds, gunfire, first responder sirens, shouting, etc.) also served to remove any echo. I can’t imagine there will be much noise at all (at least of the human variety) up near your mountain retreat.

The Z Man has failed to note that America is not dominated by either a Yankee or Southern elite but by a Jewish elite that has little to do with the old national struggles between North and South. It is rather dedicated to the complete demoralization, de-Christianization and exploitation of the American people, north, south, east and west. It has commandeered both liberals and conservatives for its dirty work, as evidenced by the support of both for the current slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza and the insane war in Ukraine.

Generally in agreement with Z. Great podcast. However, I will give a slightly different revisionist history of the U.S. informed by the “cycle of regimes” in Book VIII of Plato’s Republic. The Founders were a “guardian class” of educated aristocrats dedicated to objective, enlightened principles and to justice. (This is my chief disagreement with Z. The Founders certainly did have banal, pedestrian political needs like protection, but anyone who read Washington’s Farewell Address or the Federalist Papers knows they were far more high-minded than merely setting up a protection racket). They created a patrician, agrarian society based on the Natural… Read more »

The flaw in the idea of Plato’s “man of the people” coming to power, is that in our case there is no “people.” There are competing tribes, each too large for the other(s) to “put to death.” And they can’t maintain their economy when they debank tens of millions of the people in it, so that option is also out (at least at any large scale). Think of what it would do to their precious stock market.

The Founders developed a nation that had conflicting ideologies as to what path to take. Agrarianism was eventually replaced by industrialization. The authors of our Constitution also put into place an important mechanism in the Preamble—our posterity. They recognized that future generations would chart their own path by way of freedom of association and the rule of law. As America grew in size and matured intellectually, it realized that the enslavement of blacks went against the Natural Order.

I coincidentally read an old book written befor the 1960s that I found in an antique shop. It was about the Incan empire, written by a biologist who traveled and lived there for a decade in the 1950s. Turns out, the incans destroyed over 100 South American cultures, using the women to breed and selling the men north into slavery, forcing everyone to learn Quechua, a century before the Spaniards arrived. Sounds like colonization to me, though I can’t find anything so mean written about these noble savages after the 1960s.

History used to be the practice of documenting prior events in order to learn from errors and not repeat them. It was a civilized enhancement from the earlier practice of propagating wisdom by aphorism, storytelling, song, poetry and parables. But wisdom is not the same the world over.

While there was Scandinavian settlement in the Northeast of medieval England, as well as the Norman Conquest—comprised of French-speaking Northmen—in 1066, New England was mainly settled by well assimilated English Puritans from the Southeast. Scandinavians did not arrive in America in large numbers (cf. New Sweden, 1638–1655) until well into the 19th Century, settling in the Upper Midwest. However, since the original Europeans who came to this region were in fact New Englanders, Puritan culture continued to be conspicuous there.

Roman Britain was populated by Celtic tribes. Following the Roman withdrawal, Germanic tribes including Angles, Saxons and Jutes took advantage of this to occupy much of England (get it, Angle-land?). The Jutes gave their name to Jutland, which is the mainland portion of Denmark, so we’re already talking Scandinavia here. The point is, these were not so genetically different tribes, which were, as you rightly say, well-assimilated by the beginning of the 17th Century when the English colonists arrived in America.

I’ve heard this all my life. So far, at least, it has not come to pass. Money is not tied to anything real. There is no limit to the amount of money we can print. It’s really just an accounting system with an arbitrary unit of account we call the Dollar.

Are there limits? Possibly. I don’t pretend to know though. This system could live on for a hundred years or may die tomorrow.

I have a first edition copy of Eisenhower’s Crusade in Europe. It has two sentences on concentration camps and the mistreatment of the Jews. Recently I read Orderly and Humane by RM Douglas about the expulsion of Germans from what became the Eastern block after the war ended. Estimates are between 1 million and 2 million died and some of the same concentration camps were used to temporarily house those being expelled.

They were literary stories, not coherent or plausible, but they were sold as autobiography, and they changed The Story. Building on what Resnais had done in Night And Fog (the soap!) Wiesel made the nazis insanely evil in the specific ways we now imagine they were—and Kosinski made normal Europeans even worse. It was TV documentaries that did the most work building the present’s founding myth, but those two guys laid the cornerstone. Before them, the camps were a story of war government.

My childhood memory of the Holohaux going Big Time was a Talmudvision series [possibly on ABC?], called, (((Herman Wouk)))’s “The Winds of War”. It’s bizarre that I can remember the name,(((Herman Wouk))), after all these years. The only scene I remember from the Talmudvision series was a bunch of Christians & j00z in German custody, and the Germans demanding that the men take off their pants & underwear [so as to display their private parts], and the Amurrikkkunz objecting because so many White Christian Amurrikkkun men were themselves cut. In my memory of the scene, the German officers were humiliated,… Read more »

The Andersonville prison story is documented in about 6 or so books, all out of copyright, but on line. Great reading. One thing I found interesting is a lot of the bad stuff was not the immediate cause of the Confederate staff. The way the prison worked was to dump prisoners into the compound and let the Yankees organize and sort things out internally, while the Confederates simply guarded the camp perimeter. This laissez faire practice allowed prison gangs to run the camp internals, steal from the new arrivals and inflicted much suffering and starvation. It finally was so bad,… Read more »

I remember watching an episode from a British series on WWII in which there was film footage concerning the expulsions of ethnic Germans from areas of Eastern Europe. Grossvattern and Grossmuttern in their overcoats, toting a few belongings in tatty suitcases along a road in Czechoslovakia, being lined up alongside of the road and machinegunned, and then trucks driving over the bodies ostensibly to make sure that they were dead, but actually to further scorn these oldsters who likely had little to do with the war that swept all up.

There is a lesson here for us (DR). The reason these German ethnics were so hated was that their presence in the country was the pretext for German occupation/annexation in the prewar era. These countries learned their lesson wrt “multi-culturalism”.

Yeah. Right. Hitler “attacked” Poland over opening the Danzig corridor, because the freedom-loving Poles had already murdered 58,000 ethnic Germans there.

We’re seeing an exact goddam replay with 8 years of Ukraine shelling Donetsk-Lugansk and banning everything Russian.

The younger you are, the less time you have had to acquire knowledge other than what has been fed to you by the system.

The impetus to doubt what you are told by the powers that be and investigate for yourself is much stronger in 2024 than it was in 1980 though, I can tell you that.

I’m sure he did, since nobody holds such personal venom and hatred of each other as eggheads in the ivory tower. McDonald had his own pseudo-Celtic hobbyhorse he flogged. I think Fischer, while in no way “one of ours” has the right of the argument, rather than McDonald’s romantic fever dreams of America as some kind of Celtic Promised Land. The Ulster Scots who came to America were Anglo-Norse Lowlanders and Borderers, and spoke the Germanic dialect of Lallans (or Lowland/Broad) Scots, not kilted highlanders who spoke Gaelic, and for sure not Potato Irish.

Some right royal bastards they were. Those Mideast lunatics have nothing on us when it comes to seething with historical memory.
