THE COST OF ENVY-APPEASEMENT

Download PDF

San Andres Island, Colombia. Colombians come to this little Caribbean paradise to get away from it all. But for America and Western Civilization, we cannot escape from the nightmare we are all living in and from which we cannot wake up.

There is no way to wake up from it until we understand its cause. That cause is what connects the evil depravity of murderous Islamic Jihadism with the racist lunacy of BlackLivesMatter, the auto-racism of white student imbeciles at Ivy League universities, and the massively masochistic inability of Europeans to stop and reverse the Moslem invasion of their countries.

In March of 2010, I gave a speech explaining the cause of all this to a group of conservatives. We had not yet reached the culmination of the nightmare that we are experiencing right now. Little action was taken. Unless we act now, the nightmare is going to sweep us and our country and our civilization away. The cost of what we are paying to maintain it any longer is now far too much to bear.

Here is the speech in full for you to absorb. Then we’ll discuss what we can do.

Why Liberals Are More Dangerous Than Terrorists

[Delivered March 5, 2010 to the members of the Council for National Policy, leaders of conservative organizations across America, meeting in Naples, Florida.]

There’s no time to waste here, so I’m going to skip the obligatory warm-up joke and get to the root of the problem.

First, Moslems are not really the problem, neither Moslem terrorists nor Moslem imperialists insisting on their medieval Sharia laws.

Christendom has been fighting Islam for almost fifteen centuries.  The Spaniards fought 800 years to get rid of the Moslem invaders of their Christian lands.  800 years!  That’s how long the Reconquista took.  How long have we in America been at it – two decades?

Islam is a self-identified religion of the sword.  It cannot be anything else but.  “Islam” is an Arabic word.  It means submission.  Moslems claim this means submit to Allah.  What it really means is submit to them or die.  Just the same as it was for the Communists of the Soviet Union.

Thus there can be no peace between Jihadi or Sharia Moslems and us, anymore than there could be with Soviet Communists.  “Peace” for us means the absence of violence.  “Peace” for Jihadis and Communists means the absence of disobedience.  So there can be no peace, there can only be victory or submission.

We achieved victory over the Communists of the Soviet Union.  How may we achieve victory over the Moslems of Jihad and Sharia?  Let’s go to Africa to find out.

Anyone here been to the Serengeti?  Then you know the tribe that lives on the plains of the Serengeti is the Masai.  How do the Masai make a living?  They are cattle herders.  Cattle herders in lion country.  Lots of lions live in the Serengeti, and they love to eat cows.  Cows are easy to kill and taste real good.

What have the Masai got to protect their cattle – and themselves – from the lions?  Spears.  No guns, just spears.

What do the Masai wear for clothing?  Bright red robes.  They want to make sure the lions see them, know where they are.

For when a lion sees a Masai, it is the lion that runs away, not the Masai.  Lions are scared of the Masai, who are very, very good at hunting lions down and killing them.  With spears.

Lions are predators.  There can be no peace between predators and prey.  Islam is a predatory religion.  Jihadi Moslems are predators.  So the only solution is to have them be so afraid of us that they leave us alone, just like lions leave the Masai alone on the Serengeti Plains of Africa. They either run away or get a spear in their gut.

So the question becomes:  Why don’t we treat Moslem predators like Masai treat lions?

It’s because the Masai, even though they live in primitive conditions, have something we once had and have now lost:  cultural confidence.  They have a fierce pride and confidence in their culture that we no longer have.

Our Founding Fathers sure had it.  Thomas Jefferson sure had it, when he condemned King George for inflicting upon Americans – quote from the Declaration of Independence – “the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare is undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes, and conditions.”

The men and women who fought those savages to create an American civilization from sea to shining sea sure had it.  We’ve lost it.  How?  Let’s go to the Amazon to find out.

There is a tribe in the Amazon called the Yanomamo.  When a Yanomamo woman gives birth to a baby, she cries out in a loud lament, “Oh my baby is so ugly!  Why have the spirits cursed me with such an ugly baby?”  She does this so the other villagers won’t envy her happiness at her beautiful child.

This is the famous fear of envious Black Magic, the fear of the Evil Eye of Envy that permeates so many cultures. In Greece it is called matiasma, in Spain and South America the mal ojo. The Evil Eye is known as ayin horeh in Hebrew; ayin harsha in Arabic, droch shuil in Scotland, mauvais oeil in France, bosen blick in Germany, and oculus malus among the ancient Romans.

Today in Italy it is called the mal occhio. Fans of those preservers of certain unpleasant aspects of Italian culture, The Sopranos, will recall Tony Soprano referring in classic New Jerseyese to da ol’ maloik, that old evil eye.

Fear of the envy of others is one of mankind’s most deeply primal and pervasive terrors. Ask a taxi driver in Cairo why he has a beaded blue eye dangling from his rear-view mirror, and he’ll tell you, “Many people will look at you with evil eyes and want to harm you when they see you with a new car – so this protects me.”

Envy-avoidance is one of the most basic and primary motivators of human behavior. It’s why village life in India and Egypt has not evolved much in thousands of years: the instant some villager tries to do better, so much envy is directed at him or her by other villagers that they quickly abandon the effort.

Socialism can be seen as a desperate attempt to eradicate envy: by forcing everyone to be “equal,” no one will have grounds for envying others. The human reality is that no matter how rigorous the attempt, distinctions will be made as grounds for envy. In German concentration camps during WWII, a prisoner who had a toothbrush was hated and envied by his fellow prisoners.

The fear of envy dominates cultures from primitive tribes in the Amazon to Harvard-educated liberals in America.  For just like the Yanomamo tribeswoman who says her baby is ugly to deflect envy, so the American liberal says his country is ugly.

Liberalism is nothing more than a pose by those afraid of envy. This fear especially afflicts those who feel they have not earned their wealth or celebrity – heirs like Teddy Kennedy and Tereza Kerry, or Hollywood actors and actresses.

Intellectuals are similarly afflicted, as since childhood envy has been directed at them for being smart. The easy way out is to adopt a pose of apology for your wealth, fame, or smarts, and loudly proclaim your liberal “compassion” in an attempt to appease envious evil eyes.

It takes an exceptional amount of courage to not be afraid of envy. It is horribly hard for any single individual to strive his or her best while envious evil eyes are directed at them, much less an entire culture that’s successful and prosperous.

Perhaps the most instructive of all Ten Commandments is the last:  Thou shalt not covet –  don’t be envious.  Yet it needs a corollary:  Thou shalt not fear those who covet – don’t be afraid of the envious. For it is this fear that gives the envious their power over us.

For example, the crux understanding of Moslem terrorism or Jihadism is that it is a pathology of envy.

All three of the great barbarisms of modern times have been pathologies of envy. Naziism, preaching race-envy toward “rich exploitative Jews”;  Communism preaching class-envy toward “rich exploitative bourgeois”;  Jihadism preaching culture-envy toward “rich exploitative America/Israel/the West.”

In all three cases, the belief in exploitation is a primitive belief in voodoo Black Magic.

What gives envy its enormous destructive capacity is the fear of it, fear of the Evil Eye. It is envy that makes a Nazi, a Communist, or a Moslem Terrorist. It is the fear of being envied that makes a Liberal.

Liberalism is thus not a political ideology or set of beliefs. It is an envy-deflection device, a psychological strategy to avoid being envied. Liberalism is the politicalization of envy-appeasement.

And thus liberals are driven to ever more masochistic efforts of self-humiliation in attempts at envy appeasement.

 All the passions of the Left are frenzies of masochism. What could be more idiotic and masochistic than to oppose missile defense? Liberals oppose missile defense because…  they do not want their country defended.

Liberals promulgate their “global warming” hoax because…  they do not want their civilization to prosper.

Liberals are pro-abortion because… they do not want their species to exist.

Liberals wallow in their ethical goo of moral relativism and multiculturalism because…  they do not want their culture to survive.

“Political correctness” is nothing but a form of envy-appeasement – which is why, just as one example, we have politically correct airport security rather than profiling Moslems.

As the Amazon tribeswoman who says her baby is ugly, so the liberal says  his country, his culture, his civilization and even his entire species is ugly.

This is why liberals always root for those who revile America. Liberals are incapacitated from being able to defend America because of their primitive fear of the Evil Eye of America’s enemies. Liberals are incapable of pride, deep pride, in being American.  Instead they feel embarrassment.

So – how do we regain cultural confidence for America?  It’s a simple recipe of two words:

 Reject envy.

This is a note of 100 Yuans – the currency of Communist China.  While we have George Washington and Abraham Lincoln on our money, the Chicoms have Mao Tse-Tung, whom the Guinness Book of World Records lists as the greatest mass murderer in human history.  America is vastly more moral than Communist China.  Yet we kowtow to the Red Chinese.

Christianity is vastly more moral than Islam.  Ours is a religion of love and forgiveness.  Islam is a religion of conquest and slavery.  Repeatedly in the Koran, Allah advocates slavery, providing a plethora of detailed rules and permissions regarding slave ownership.  Either slavery is moral or Allah is immoral.  Moslems must choose.

But we cannot ask them to choose, we cannot stand up to Moslem terrorists or Communist Chinese or any enemy of America, foreign or domestic, if we do not reject their envy.

There could not be a clearer example of the disastrous consequences of America’s failing to reject envy than the election of Barack Hussein Obama – a man with utterly no experience or qualifications, a man no one in the country would have paid the slightest attention to if he were white.

The only reason this man was elected was because he was black, because of his race –  it was the most racist election in American history, a deeply masochistic exercise in envy-appeasement.

At least now we can all understand the horrific results of envy-appeasement.  And while this is in no way an endorsement of Mitt Romney’s presidential aspirations, he has provided the antidote with the title of his book, No Apology.

That is the message conservatives must stand for at every opportunity:  No apology for America, no apology for our success, our prosperity, our power, our religion, our culture, our civilization.

That and the American message of Live and Let Live.  You leave us alone and we’ll leave you alone.  But if you don’t, if you attempt to terrorize, threaten, or intimidate us, you’ll end up like a lion at the tip of a Masai spear.

Thank you all very much.

OK, what to do? First would be to look inside yourself and see in what ways you may – may – have a fear of being envied. Maybe you don’t at all, but it’s very hard to fully reject the envy of others. So take a look and ask yourself, see what you find.

Second, I think that the main reason so many conservatives go ga-ga over Trump is his total rejection of envy. He says exactly what anyone of us would say about illegal immigrants without any fear of their envy or hatred. It is so totally refreshing and virtually unique to see that in a presidential candidate that it compels a lot of people to stand up and cheer.

Third, it’s important to realize that Zero did not create our nightmare. Liberals and Democrats have been steadily and slowly creating it for decades. Zero is the culmination, the apotheosis of the nightmare engulfing us.

As Alinsky says, personalize the target. Make it personal. America cannot stand anymore of his treachery and purposeful destruction of our country.

Fourth, it is up to GOP governors to take matters into their own hands, even if it means straightforward defiance of any edict of Zero or agency of the Federal Government.

Specifically, only a governor can order deployment of the National Guard in their state. Here’s a map of states whose GOP governors have told the Feds not to send them any Moslem “refugees.” It’s by the libtard envy-appeasers of Vox, so ignore their smart-aleck masochism.

The govs, however, should not – must not – make an on-bended-knee plea to the Feds. They need to inform the Feds that they will call up the National Guard in their states to forcibly apprehend any and all Moslem “refugees” for deportation to Washington DC. The Fed bureaucrats can take care of them, or house them personally in their own homes. Or send them to any Dem-run blue state happy to have them. Surely California’s Governor Moonbeam Jerry Brown will welcome them.

Fifth and lastly, conservatives must take it upon themselves to revitalize the Tea Party Movement. You need to organize protests and demos in your area to block the importation of Moslem “refugees,” or lunacies of BlackLivesMatter or temper tantrums of college imbeciles. And most of all, demand Zero’s impeachment.

If you want America to last much longer, then we must stop paying the cost of envy-appeasement. Please consider how you can stop paying it yourself right now.
