I’m a Republican and not at all keen on the recent government spending, but the Devil’s advocate in me has to ask: is the full 1.25 quadrillion all on Obama’s shoulders?

Don’t get me wrong. It’s not that I think he should be adding ever-increasing amounts to the national debt, just that it seem unfair to describe that debt as something that appeared only when he stepped into the Oval Office.

John Young responds:

Hi Cathy!

You are correct that many who came before Obama, and not just Presidents, but legislators as well, have ultimately contributed to this number. But the bottom line is that the CURRENT holders of office are responsible for deciding whether to continue down the road to oblivion, or change course.

ANSWER: No

I’ve certainly heard similar theories before. If I had decided to look at the world through the filter of “my people are best” I might even agree. Humanity is exceedingly capable of such thought processes.

The question of “which race is most intelligent?” is interesting. Surely you’d have to admit that if you happen to be of the race that created the test you have a leg up.

I’m wondering if you ever saw the film made of Jane Elliott and her class of school children which segregated the kids by eye color. Do you think it was valid work? I’d be interested in your take on that experiment.

It is true that there will certainly be famines here and there and yes, there will continue to be instances of horrible racial backlash in such instances. There will also be many cases of new friendships, sharing and love between people of different races. Those events are far less interesting and reportable, and those looking for reasons to distrust “others” will pay little attention to them.

How about cases where humanity tortures or punishes its own kind? The Pol Pot situation in Cambodia for instance? Barbarity on that scale would seem to indicate that those who have formal education should naturally seperate themselves from the uneducated masses in times of scarcity.

In my life I have found little correlation between attributes such as intelligence and race or skin color. Anecdotal? Yes. I have travelled quite extensively however, and my sampling of humanity indicates that all peoples are capable of savagery and grace, both to their “own kind” and to the “others” among them.

I choose not to fear or feel superior to racial groups such as blacks, Native Americans, South Asians, Chinese, etc, based upon my many interactions with them. I will always watch intolerant individuals with some care however.

Oh, yes, whitebread, sorry if that’s taken badly. I have lily white skin and pale blue eyes, I don’t tan, I burn. I claim the right of any “racial group” to demean “my own people” with impunity. No race has been as savage to its own than caucasians. I can’t help but to retain some of the savage celtic/anglo-saxon/norse that makes up the bulk of my heritage, after all.

The reason for that wish is two-fold. Firstly, if Israel collapses there will be up to five million Jews scrambling for safety and you KNOW where they’ll be heading (real estate prices in New York, Miami-Dade and Toronto will never be the same).

Secondly, the Kuran teaches all faithful Muslims to spread Islam by the sword. I’d rather have the Arab and Muslim states focus on Israel than on the United States. Remember, not until we deployed in Saudi Arabia in 1990 did bin Laden et al really started targeting us. Before that they fought Israel.

If Israel is to survive, the key is the above-mentioned “safe borders”. An Israel without the West Bank would be nine miles wide on the tiny strip of land that connects the Galilee with the Negev. I’m just a lowly ex-NCO, but I don’t think that that would count as “safe borders”, nukes or no nukes.

For one critical of the political activites of Western Jewry it is hard to advocate a strong Israel within its current borders, but I think it might be the least distasteful option, after all.

I was thinking “seems like a thoughtful guy, shares my interest in local agriculture,” that sort of thing, till I decided to follow the links to EAU, the European Americans United. This is where I ran into some issues…

So, John, answer me a question. You seem to me to be a thoughtful guy who seeks rationality. Do you support the Statement of Principles of the EAU? I’ll refer first to the belief that “…an eventual geographic separation (of races? cultures?) is necessary for the preservation of all unique cultures and values.”

Here’s my problem John. I’m mostly white European, but my ancestors had the occasional taste for native women, so I’ve got a bit of Native American and a bit of Hawaiian in me. To further complicate matters, I have a number of children adopted from Asia. They are being raised in a good Baptist church by a pretty whitebread family. I have other children with even more native blood than my own. Which geographical section of the EAU-envisioned future will they be sent to? Which will I be sent to?

As a student of human nature and race oppression I’m a bit sensitive about these matters, and I would be interested your thoughts…

John Young responds:

First, let me state something that (to you at least) should be obvious: no race of people has a monopoly on virtue or vice. Every person, based upon his/her character has the capacity to be beautiful. No person should be oppressed or harmed in any way on the basis of a factor over which they do not have control — such as the race of their birth.

Now that we’ve got that out of the way, does the EAU Statement of Principles contradict the above? No, it doesn’t. Let me explain.

First, please read my article that provides EAU’s overall understanding of race, The New Racial Consciousness. You can find it at this link. The article includes considerable scientific citation from mainstream sources describing the reality of “race” at an indisputable biological level; and explains the reasoning for why intermarriage should be avoided, and why the best interests of ALL genetically distinct peoples are best served via separation. Even though the article is somewhat long, please take the time to read it with an open mind; as otherwise we will be debating things I’ve already described and documented in considerable depth. I think you’ll find it worthwhile.

Second, it is important to understand that a great deal of inter-ethnic violence already occurs in this country. If you look at “The Color of Crime” (compiled from FBI Uniform Crime Reports and the National Crime Victim Survey), and do a little math, you will discover some very amazing information that you would never suspect from watching TV, listening to talk radio or reading newspapers. First, you will discover that white women are specifically targeted for rape in this country because they are white by the tens of thousands every year. You will also discover that whites are targeted as victims of multiple-attacker violence conducted by non-whites hundreds of times more often than the other way around. You will find that, every year, more white people are murdered by non-whites than are dying in the Iraq War; and you’ll also discover (through some math) that since 1965, more white folks have been killed by non-whites than died in either the Vietnam War or WWI.

If you do some research on the rates of Palestinian on Jew violence (and suicide bombing) in Israel; you will discover that a white person in this country is about 400% more likely to be a victim of violence at the hands of some other ethnicity than a Jew is to be harmed by a Palestinian. Everybody acknowledges that a large level of ethnic violence is taking place in Israel; yet nobody even notices (because our media deliberately leaves us ignorant of the fact) a far more severe situation in this country.

As I describe in the article The New Racial Consciousness, this phenomenon isn’t surprising. It arises every time — every time — you combine resource scarcity with a multi-ethnic population. The only way around it is either dictatorship or suppression of one group by another. Or — of course — what we have described as a much more humane and preferable solution: separation.

It is important to understand that the separation we describe is unlikely to occur at the specific behest of an organized government. If you look around the world at multi-ethnic states that existed at one time; once either resource scarcity has been introduced or a powerful authoritarian regime has been deposed — formerly multi-ethnic states have spontaneously separated either with or without violence. Yugoslavia is a great example. Look also at the former USSR. Even if you look at Iraq today — Iraq was a multi-ethnic state held together under a dictator, and now that the dictator is gone, most of the violence is inter-ethnic.

Maybe, if I could wave a magic wand, things wouldn’t be this way. But I have no magic wand, and instead I must honestly see the way the world really works, and has worked for all of recorded history. Rather than rail against it, it must be accepted. Once it is accepted, we can work with it to achieve the best outcomes practically possible.

As I have described in a vast body of economic writing; America is coming in for increasing levels of resource scarcity. Peak Oil has been acknowledged by the Government Accountability Office to be both REAL and PROXIMATE. While they may hide behind “Global Warming” as a trick to make it appear that resource reductions are voluntary — that is not the case. And these resource reductions, particularly in the United States, will have severe consequences in terms of resource scarcity.

In the wake of resource scarcity in a multi-ethnic country — what is going to happen? This is totally predictable because what is going to happen is what has ALWAYS happened: either we will be living under a totalitarian government or ethnic separation will occur. In all likelihood, a bit of both in various stages.

So this separation is not the sort of thing where some dictator is going to sit back with a list and say: “All you whites go here, and whites with a bit of black go there, and blacks go over here and Asians go over there.” There is no PLAN. Of course, it will either be done with a plan, or it will happen on its own anyway; just as it always has.

In these sorts of situations, blood will be thicker than water, no matter how much we may love or care for someone of another race — such as adopted child. This is a tragedy — an unspeakable strategy — and I can understand that. But you have to understand that as (essentially) a white person, once resource scarcity sets in, there will be huge portions of this country where you will not be able to go and remain alive just because of the color of your skin. Such places exist now, but they will be much larger and likely even gain independent sovereignty.

Certain things can be done to shape how the future will look. Remember — nature, to be commanded, must be obeyed. If we understand and acknowledge nature, we can work with it to effectuate the best possible outcomes. But you simply cannot have a multi-ethnic state, resource scarcity and a benign government simultaneously. That’s just the way the world works. And I, for one, will not accept a dictatorship simply so I can have the privilege of living next to some guy who wants to kill me.

Your “whitebread” reference, unfortunately, doesn’t mesh well with your being a student of racial oppression. As a student of racial oppression, you should be aware that “whitebread” is an ethnic slur. Taking away a group’s right to define and label themselves is the first step along the path of oppression. You shouldn’t tolerate such attitudes in yourself, in my opinion.

Hopefully this helps!

There was a time when morphine, cocaine, and heroine were used in patent medicines, along with copious amounts of alcohol, and in some cases mercury. This is not to say that these were good things, but they conferred some sort of, often short term, benefit. If I recall correctly, Sherlock Holmes was said to have been a cocaine user, and that was simply thought to be an eccentricity.

Ultimately we must teach people to value themselves a created in the image of God. Until we are able to do that, there will always be some who will say, “it is my body to throw away if I want to do so.” For the self destructive, we should not make it too easy but we should not make it too difficult either, much as is done with alcohol and tobacco.

I generally agree that the law enforcement approach to drug use is a failure; and that drug use is more wisely approached as a social rather than criminal problem.

John Young Responds:

Hi Dr. D.! I tend to be somewhat vague in the interests of modesty. I have undergrad degrees in chemistry and electrical engineering and am 4 classes away from completing a second dual major in biology and computer science. I also have two postgraduate degrees, but neither is in a hard science. (philosophy and divinity) I’m a polymath, so the absence of specific training in a given field doesn’t mean I lack that skill. You use my inventions anytime you send email, use a car, view a videotape, etc. etc.

I generally write from New England.
