Mother Earth News Finds an Economic Clue

I subscribe to many periodicals. Some, which I commend highly to your attention, are directly relevant to the business of European Americans United, and include The Occidental Quarterly and Mankind Quarterly. Others pertain mainly to my technical and scientific interests, such as Power Electronics, Electrical Engineering Times, Journal of Organic Chemistry, Scientific American Mind and so forth. But along with this sort of “heavy reading” I subscribe to a couple of magazines pertaining to my hobbies and self-sufficiency; including Backwoods Home magazine (which I highly recommend) and Mother Earth News.

Mother Earth News (MEN) is almost universally identified with the left. When I first subscribed, I suddenly found myself on the potential donors list of every left wing kook politician in existence and started receiving solicitations from far left-wing organizations. The association of MEN with the left is a bit perplexing to start with; and demonstrates just how useless such labels can sometimes be.

Within the pages of the most recent edition of MEN are instructions for homemade bread, detailed information on raising potatoes, raising chickens and building a built-in bed. Past issues have carried articles on how to construct a mortgage-free home. When I think of the left, I think about welfare statism, and the sort of overbearing government regulations that would make raising chickens in your own back yard impossible. I think of folks sitting on the welfare dole and getting fat without ever lifting a finger to help themselves.

Nevertheless, MEN buys into the multi-culti fluff-bunny love for all things which would displace European-Americans in America. That seems pretty stupid to me as a casual look at their advertisers indicates that their buying demographic is overwhelmingly European-American, so without us they (and their advertisers) would go out of business.

Either way, in their opening editorial — “Three Mountains we Must Climb” — they list environmental conservation (with particular note to global warming), population control and economic reform.

Being a critical thinker with a lot of science under my belt, I have to admit that I’m not convinced that global warming — to the extent it may be occurring at all — is substantially affected by human activities. There are much larger and more profound cycles that play out over a geological time-frame (such as ice ages), the causes of which are not known with certainty even by experts. If one doesn’t understand the causes behind the most profound climatological shifts in the world’s history; then such causation cannot be accounted for in calculations purporting to attribute global warming to human activity. So right now, I don’t buy the whole global warming scare.

But forgetting global warming, environmental preservation in and of itself is incredibly important. No matter what, our life ultimately springs from the land, water and air around us; and gratuitously polluting or abusing these diminishes our quality of life and increases diseases and misery. We are a part of nature — and don’t stand apart from it. As a result, no matter how much we may insulate ourselves, nature affects us. So conservation doesn’t need global warming as a justification: it just needs self-interest and a caring about future generations.

One key to conservation is population control. The MEN editorial points out that a simple voluntary mindset of “2 children per couple” would be sufficient to achieve that goal. Well, they miss an awful lot. For one thing, their primary audience of European-Americans has been at below-replacement-level reproduction for quite some time. If that’s true, then why is the U.S. population rising? Because of immigration from areas where a voluntary mindset has little or no effect, and reproduction is limited almost completely by availability of resources. And when they overcrowd and destroy their own corners of the planet and deplete their resources — they move into our corner of the planet.

While I’m sure the ultra-politically-correct folks at MEN would never dare to point it out, the simple fact is that the entire Western world would be at or below replacement level population already if one simple thing occurred: a complete shut down of immigration. And the populations in the other regions would become sustainable if the U.S. and Canada in particular stopped exporting the precious fertility of their soil to Third World countries in the form of crops.

You see, throughout the third world, most areas have long-since exceeded their human carrying capacity. They simply cannot produce enough food for their masses. The United States, Canada and (to a lesser extent) the rest of the Western World makes up the difference — largely through charity. In essence, U.S. taxpayers get taxed to pay for the food that gets sent overseas. Then U.S. taxpayers get to pay higher prices for their own food because of the artificially inflated demand. As I said, most of these third world populations don’t understand voluntary mindsets as espoused by MEN. What they DO understand is insufficient resources; so if we stop exporting our food and shut down our borders to immigration, their populations will drop to sustainable levels.

Of course, the status quo — including MEN — won’t entertain such notions. The big agribusiness corporations won’t stand for it, and the fluff-bunnies who bury their heads in the sand and lie to themselves about the unpleasant realities of human existence would rather die than face such realities.

But MEN mentions a third “mountain” in their editorial which leads me to believe that someone over there is actually reading WVWNews and listening to the Western Voices podcasts. To the best of my knowledge, we are the only organization that has pointed out the flaws of a growth-based economy time and time again. Here is what they said:

“That leaves the third and tallest mountain, economic reform. As our economies are now structured, we depend on population growth to support economic growth. Imagine a world in which demand for all the fundamental human necessities — food, shelter, etc. — were shrinking every year. To sustain our population at lower, healthier levels, we’ll have to invent a human economy that can maintain prosperity without growth. To do that, we’ll need brand new economic tools. We need new systems in which no one is placed at an unfair disadvantage. That doesn’t mean turning to socialism, communism or any other obsolete social system. Instead, we need something new that rewards human innovation without requiring human expansion.”

Naturally, their editorial goes on to discuss surmounting “cultural” barriers and other multi-culti propaganda.

Either way, it is clear that our economic ideas are gaining the attention of not just the traditional right — but the traditional left as well. This is not surprising. At their core, many people on both ends of the political spectrum are simply aiming for human good, happiness and prosperity. Our economic ideas are oriented toward achieving those objectives. So I’m glad that some on the traditional left are finally seeing that socialism and communism are as much dead-ends as capitalism. They are starting to look hard at third-way economic ideas — and clearly doing so through reading our websites as we express these ideas in a unique fashion.

The next thing I recommend, though, to our readers at Mother Earth News is that they read The New Racial Consciousness. In this podcast, I explain (with copious citation) why sustainable economic systems — which depend upon both altruism and cooperation — can only be brought into fruition in a condition of ethnic homogeneity.

The desire for ethnic homogeneity has absolutely nothing to do with mindless hatred for “the other,” and everything to do with understanding that many of the best of human characteristics are most operative in conditions of ethnic homogeneity. You can see this, to this very day, in certain remote tribes. You can also see it, to a certain extent, in countries such as Israel and Japan that have a clear and unambiguous ethno-racial basis and core. The bottom line is that multi-culturalism and multi-racialism are completely incompatible with the sorts of cooperation needed to move to sustainable populations, conservation and economics.

So as a pre-condition of solid economics, sustainable populations and environmental conservation we must also synchronize ethnic and national borders. This will ultimately be to the benefit of ALL unique cultures and peoples.
And this is the fourth and highest mountain that MEN left unstated, and dares not mention.

Give Thanks for Western Civilization!

Every year around this time we are assaulted with all sorts of politically correct nonsense describing how “evil Europeans” came and displaced the holy, harmonious and nature-loving existing cultures of North America.

It’s at times like this when I deeply regret how sanitized the history of this continent has become. You’d think the Indians were all just standing in a circle holding hands singing Koom-ba-ya and communing with Gitchee Manitou in perfect harmony when — all of a sudden — a bunch of blood-thirsty Europeans thrust the idea of violence upon them for the first time.

The reality of Indian violence is beyond the comprehension of the average modern European-American; but I can encapsulate it in a nutshell: it included slavery, cannibalism, head-hunting and human sacrifice on a fairly large scale.(1)

Marvin Harris noted of the Iroquois that they: “… are well known for their incessant warfare and their training of males to be immune to pain. They are also well known for their merciless treatment of prisoners of war. Captives were forced to run a gauntlet, their fingernails were pulled out and their limbs hacked off, and they were finally decapitated or roasted alive at the stake – after which their remains were consumed in cannibalistic feasts.”(2)

Even the founder of Boasian anthropology, Franz Boas noted in his book “The Social Organization and Secret Societies of the Kwakiutl Indians” that eye-witnesses saw human sacrifice and cannibalism on a large scale. According to Boas, the cannibals among the Kwakiutl Indians “Besides devouring slaves … also devour corpses.”(3)

I’m a pretty open-minded fellow; and I’m very open to allowing those who dislike Western cultural norms to live by the norms of other cultures. Usually, I prefer my mother-in-law’s deliciously roasted turkey for Thanksgiving dinner. Personally, I’m going to stick with my own culture.

But here is what I prescribe for the dingbats who think of European-Americans as the descendants of an oppressive culture. You need to celebrate Thanksgiving the way it would have been celebrated if Europeans had never set foot upon these shores: enslave each other, then torture each other and finally EAT each other for Thanksgiving. Because that is PRECISELY what would be happening on this continent had Europeans never arrived. Unless you are willing to do that, you need to sit down in a corner, shut your pie-hole and learn something.

If you cannot appreciate European culture, European-Americans and Western civilization, you need to volunteer to be enslaved, tortured, killed and eaten — because that’s what the “superior” Indians would have done to you. The only reason you are alive to make a whining nuisance of yourself is because European-derived people have a unique tolerance for such misbehavior. Be thankful — VERY thankful — for Western Civilization; because without its protection, the Indians would be picking your meat out of their teeth in no time flat.

So tomorrow for Thanksgiving, I will be sitting down at a nice table, and eating a delicious turkey with stuffing. And I will give thanks for Western Civilization because I’d much rather be eating a turkey than my next door neighbor. He looks pretty tough and stringy.

Invention Continues …

I mentioned in an earlier post that I’ve switched to the Arduino platform for embedded systems development because that will allow other EAU members to duplicate my electronics products more easily. These will be licensed under a modified Creative Commons license that allows any EAU member to duplicate or enhance the designs either for themselves or for profit so long as the original creator is noted and improvements are put back into the knowledge pool.

The good news is that my latest Arduino-based design is nearly complete. A couple of prototypes are working fine in the field and I should have some professionally made printed circuit boards delivered next week. If these work as they should, we’re only a couple of weeks away from me uploading a zip file to our members-only site that includes schematics, printed circuit files, software/source-code, descriptions and pictures.

Oh — what is this device you ask? You’ll just have to wait to find out. It’ll be put on the members-only site. Membership, after all, has its privileges.

Tomorrow there will be no Winners

It’s election eve, and tomorrow there will be no winners among patriotic Americans. Certainly, this or that candidate of the oligarchy will win in a spoils system that allows the winners to enrich the coffers of supporters and hangers-on at public expense. But among patriotic Americans — those of us who can see the founding fathers as ancestors, speak English, pay taxes, obey the laws — there will be no winners in tomorrow’s election.

The two major party candidates are, in and of themselves, evidence that “democracy” in this country has become a cruel caricature of itself.

On the one hand, we have the representative of the Republican National Committee, Inc., John McCain. For the past two decades he has proudly and loudly thumbed his nose at even the most basic conservative principles in order to earn the status of “maverick” and become a media darling. Before he co-sponsored an amnesty for illegal aliens with Ted Kennedy, he had infamously empowered George Soros‘ 527 groups while dis-empowering the NRA through his euphemistically entitled “Campaign Finance Reform” act. Most tellingly, John McCain has appeared in advertisements lobbying for civilian disarmament on behalf of a Handgun Control Inc. spin-off deceptively named Americans for Gun Safety. Try not to act surprised if traditional conservative voters aren’t ready to “crawl across broken glass” to cast their votes.

On the other hand, we have the representative of Democratic National Committee, Inc., Barack Obama. Senator Bernie Sanders is a self-described socialist; and Barack Obama has managed to be the only Senator with a more leftist voting record. If he walks like a socialist and he votes like a socialist — he’s a socialist. Thus, some of his more sordid associations ought not be surprising. Along with kicking off his political career in the living room of an unrepentant communist domestic terrorist, he spent two decades in Rev. Wright’s Trinity United Church of Christ, where he literally affixed his signature to a so-called “Black Value System” that specified the “destruction of the white enemy” as a goal of his deity. And, to this date, he still has not even provided evidence of being eligible to be President on the basis of his real birth certificate.

In sum, both of these candidates are domestic enemies of the Constitution of the United States of America; and obviously so to anyone paying attention. Therefore when either of them wins the election, it will be a sad day for this country indeed. The idea that either of them will raise his right hand on January 20th and swear to “uphold and defend the Constitution” is just further proof of both their individual moral bankruptcy and the sheer idiocy of those who voted for them in the primaries.

Meanwhile, both voter fraud and ballot destruction have become major problems. Groups such as ACORN have registered untold hundreds of thousands of voters — many of whom are too young to vote, dead or nonexistent, and will nevertheless show up to cast their ballots. Many have already done so via liberalized absentee voting procedures. In a small town in New Hampshire, a scandal erupted when an entire family voted for Ron Paul during the Republican primary, and then discovered that when the town’s votes were reported, none were reported for Ron Paul.

Taken altogether, things have become so bad politically that many have given up on ideas of reform, and embraced secession and the destruction of the federal union as the only real solution.

But all is not lost.

Because we find ourselves in the ironic position that, as people lose faith in the status quo, they will be more receptive to our message. They will also become more receptive to third parties.

And don’t forget — no matter what the results of the election tomorrow, a vote for Chuck Baldwin will not be wasted.
