"People Are Too Smart For That"

This will not be an exercise in wishful thinking but an examination of WHY one long-cherished strategy has not worked and will not work and hopefully, a case for the new strategy which we are building through Universal Order. It is the study of one major symptom of our time. Commander Rockwell called it the monumental conceit of today's individual who smugly figures that he knows it all in this most enlightened and progressive age.

I got it from a very good source, the confirmation that people are "too smart" to know who their friends and enemies are, much less to embrace the former and expel the latter. While I was locked up at Cincinnati 's Workhouse, I resided in the hospital building where I held the post of hospital clerk. The chief paramedic was as fine a fellow as you'll generally discover functioning in the real world successfully. A big Pole who resembled a youthful, blonde version of Father Christmas himself. Once the word on me got out– thanks largely to the efforts of one Jewish social worker– the para-med started up with the fact that he was an avid Nazi blade and pennant collector. He was able to bring in and show me his pennants but, obviously, not the blades. It wasn't long at all before he was spitting out how he wished he could have been a part of the Waffen-SS, "an outfit to really kick ass", as he put it. Here he was letting his White nature hang way out in healthy exuberance but it was later, as were discussing Hitler's style in public addresses, that he spoke up for the whole of the White Liberal Establishment. He said that people were too smart nowadays to fall for such theatrics as those that went on in Nazi Germany. (He of course had never had the opportunity to hear a recording of any of Hitler's more heart-to-heart addresses to the German nation, free of all the carefully rehearsed histrionics which were intended more for the diplomatic corps and the rest of the world than for home consumption.) I suppose he was saying that these people nowadays only respond to– or accept as "for real"– some dried-out, stuffed-shirt who looks and sounds as though he is reading off the day's stock market report but who, in essence, is saying nothing. The character fits perfectly into the scheme and pattern of Capitalistic America.

Commander Rockwell vehemently condemned another one of today's Liberal "virtues", i.e., to keep it "cool", to play it "cool", to be "cool" at all times. To be inflamed by nothing, to stand for nothing, to be willing to die– or kill– for nothing. Hitler and the whole fascist aura are certainly about as "uncool" as it is possible to be. (Note that the same cannot be said for the Communist/Leftist mystique.)

Machiavelli is condemned for being Machiavellian yet he is the least so because he came out with the way it IS, not the way someone who wants to represent, or misrepresent it as being. Hitler was least tyrannical for booming out the collective will of the entire German nation. Today's leaders fly in direct defiance of the will of the majority; they would not know the truth if they saw it, could not speak it if they knew it. (Besides, it remains a positive treat and experience to hear one of Hitler's speeches– even if one does not understand German– for it invigorates. If one does comprehend the language then it is positively inspirational. The same cannot be said for today's bureaucratic puppets and dolts who only bore.)

So how smart indeed is a people that not only cannot solve any of its major problems but which fails to recognize the most paramount of these as problems at all? How smart are they when they can't do anything to prevent their government, society, institutions, traditions, families and their own lives from falling apart? Drugs, suicide, miscegenation, every manner of degeneracy is "smart", "cool", "sophisticated" and quite acceptable in the course of demonstrating one's "individuality". Mindless pleasure bent is "smart". Clinging to a false material security is "smart". On goes the rationale.

When it catches up with them in full, they'll be wondering why. Smart.
