Reality Check
by Dr. William Pierce


It's time for a reality check. One of the ways in which I try to keep up
with what's going on in the world is watching a couple of televised news
programs every day. For week after week I've been saturated with Elian
Gonzales, as if the business of deciding whether or not the boy goes
back to his father in Cuba or stays with other relatives in Miami is the
most important thing happening in the world today.

Now, I can understand that at least part of the reason for this
saturation coverage of the Elian Gonzales situation is based on the
mentality of the average television news viewer. The couch potatoes
probably have nothing better to do than worry about where Elian ends up.
They'd rather get the latest installment in the Elian soap opera than
know what's really happening in the world.

I hope, however, that you'll pardon me for suspecting that in addition
to the strictly commercial desire on the part of CNN and other news
presenters to cater to the feminine tastes of the couch potatoes by
larding their news heavily with this "human interest" mush, there's an
intentional effort by the media bosses to distract the viewers and keep
them from thinking too much about the real world and the real issues.
Give them a steady diet of ball games and Elian Gonzales updates, and
they won't ask too many questions about the important things.

Contrast the Elian Gonzales coverage with news about what's happening in
Serbia's Kosovo province. The latest news from there is the rape and
murder of an 11-year-old Albanian girl by one of Madeleine Albright's
occupation soldiers. That's a terrible thing, but it's hardly the most
terrible thing that's been happening in Kosovo since Madeleine sent the
troops in. There's virtually no mention on network television news
programs in America about the ongoing ethnic cleansing of the Serbs by
the Albanians under the cover of our occupation troops. Serb women are
kidnapped, raped, and murdered every week by Albanians in Kosovo.
There's a transparently deliberate effort on the part of the Albanians
to terrorize the Serbs and drive them out of the province, with the help
of Madeleine's troops. And we almost never hear about these anti-Serb
activities from the mainstream media. It leads me to suspect, cynic that
I am, that the news about the rape and murder of the Albanian girl by
one of Albright's soldiers is being presented to us to allay our
suspicions that what's happening in Kosovo province is being concealed
from us. The media bosses can say, "Look, we told you about the murder
of this Albanian girl, and it certainly wasn't in our interests to do
so. It makes our fellow Jew Madeleine look bad. So you see, you can
trust us. We tell you what's happening, whether it suits our own purpose
or not."

But of course, as a rule they don't really tell us what's happening when
it doesn't suit their purpose. And they do seem to be succeeding in
keeping the couch potatoes distracted. What the Roman emperors learned
2,000 years ago about keeping the urban rabble from becoming restless by
supplying them with lots of spectacles in the Colosseum still works. I
get a lot of letters from listeners who are pretty good examples of this
sort of thing: people who are so distracted by the unimportant things
that they don't notice the important things. Many listeners tell me that
I should comment on the efforts of the Blacks, Jews, and liberals to
force the White citizens of South Carolina to abandon their flag. The
Blacks and their boosters complain that the flag reminds them of the
time in the not too distant past when Blacks in the United States were
plantation slaves. The Whites reply, "No, no," it's just a reminder of
our Southern heritage. "The flag isn't a racist symbol," they say.

Well, of course, I sympathize with the desire of anyone to preserve his
heritage or to fly the flag of his choice, but this Confederate flag
issue is as much a distraction as the Elian Gonzales issue. It's simply
not important. And I say that as a true son of the South. My
great-great-grandfather on my mother's side of the family was Thomas
Hill Watts, attorney general of the Confederacy under Jefferson Davis
and later governor of Alabama. His photograph is on the $10 Confederate
bill. He also had been a member of the council of secession which voted
for secession from the Union, and then he served as a colonel in the
Confederate Army, commanding the 17th Alabama Infantry Regiment in the
bloody battle of Corinth, Mississippi. But whether or not his flag
continues to fly from various public buildings in the South is
completely inconsequential in the face of other things which are
happening in the South every day. And you don't have to live in the
South to know what those things are; they're happening all over America.
One White man murdered by Blacks, one White woman raped by Blacks, one
White child terrorized in a school restroom by Blacks, one politician in
Washington allowed to go unhanged is a greater tragedy than taking down
the Confederate flag from any statehouse.

You know, the various organizations which are busy defending the
Confederate flag today always assert that the flag is not a racist
symbol. But of course, it is and always has been. My
great-great-grandfather, Governor Watts, never heard the word "racist."
The Jews hadn't invented it as a term of opprobrium yet. But by every
common standard in use today he was a racist. Certainly not all, but
many of his fellow Southerners did not approve of the institution of
slavery. They would have been happy to be able to outlaw the institution
and to ship every Negro and every mulatto and every quadroon to Africa
and set them free. But to a man they were racists, by today's media
standards. They were racists because they recognized the simple fact of
racial differences. Most of them had no animosity toward Blacks before
the war: before the Blacks were turned loose to terrorize White
Southerners. But if my great-great-grandfather or any other Southern
gentleman had seen a Black male put his hands on a White woman or make a
suggestive remark to a White woman, he would have drawn his sidearm and
put a quick end to that Black without giving the matter a second
thought. Of course, Northerners pretty well felt the same way about
things. They were as much racists as the Southerners. There just weren't
any Southern gentlemen in the North-or many gentlemen of any sort-to
keep things in order.

If we could use a time machine and go back in time 140 or 150 years and
take with us a VCR and a monitor and a few video cassettes of recent
Hollywood films or television shows or even news programs with street
scenes in Montgomery and Atlanta and Richmond today and play them for my
great-great-grandfather and a hundred or so of his most influential
friends and explain to them that this is what the Jews would be
saturating the consciousness of White Americans with in the future . . .
well, if we could do that, they simply wouldn't believe us. They
wouldn't believe that their descendants could become so degraded in a
mere four or five generations as to permit such things to happen: so
degraded as to acquiesce in such things. But if we somehow could
convince them that our videotapes weren't fraudulent, they would have
understood that much more was at stake than political independence for
the South. They would have understood that survival of the race was at
stake, and they would have fought even harder and more valiantly than
they did, because in those days there was no shame in fighting for one's
people, for one's race. Anyway, I bring this up just as a reminder that
we aren't the only ones who have failed to focus on the really important
issues at hand. Throughout history our people have been distracted by
inconsequential issues and have neglected the crucial ones.

So what's more important today than the latest ball game and what
happens to Elian Gonzales? Really, it's exactly what was important 140
years ago. My great-great-grandfather and the other leaders of the South
should have been concerned first and foremost about the racial issue-not
about economic issues or political issues or anything else. There was a
disagreement between the North and the South on the issue of slavery, of
course, but there was plenty of common ground on the racial issue.
Before the war neither Northerners nor Southerners wanted racial mixing.
If it hadn't been for the economic aspects of slavery, an agreement very
likely could have been reached to send all Blacks back to Africa.
President Lincoln looked favorably on such a plan even after the war.

Without the slavery issue, the warmongers probably wouldn't have been
able to get a war started. But Southerners who wanted to keep the
institution of slavery for purely economic reasons put these economic
reasons ahead of the racial interests of their people. They didn't
understand the degree to which their racial interests were threatened.
And so we had a bloody and destructive civil war, and even worse-much
worse-we failed to solve the racial problem when it might have been
solved with relatively little trauma.

So today we have a racial catastrophe in both the North and the South,
and the Jews are pumping their lies and filth into all of us every day.
And instead of focusing on these real problems, most of us let ourselves
be distracted by utterly inconsequential issues such as Elian Gonzales
and where the Confederate flag can be flown.

I'll go over that again: reality is that we are being pushed rapidly
toward racial extinction. Reality is that the Jews are controlling the
minds of a majority of our people for the specific purpose of keeping us
headed toward extinction. Those are the real problems which we must deal
with. Forget about Elian Gonzales and Fidel Castro and the Confederate
flag. Forget about ball games and the economy and whether a Democratic
crook or a Republican crook should be  elected later this year. Think
about racial survival and racial freedom; that's all that matters.
Really, nothing else counts in the least.

That's why you hear some repetition if you listen to many of my
broadcasts. I keep coming back to the important things over and over
again. Of course, I do talk about many inconsequential things as well. I
use them as illustrations, as examples, which help us understand better
the important things. And I also talk about unimportant things because I
must consider my audience. I must talk about the things the members of
my audience believe to be important so that I can catch their interest
and then lead them to the truly important things.

Here's an example which ties in again to the Civil War. A lot of
men-overaged kids, really-like to play soldier. They like to reenact
various historic battles, and Civil War battles are among their
favorites. They like to get out on the battlefield and pretend that they
are members of real military units of the past-such as my
great-great-grandfather's 17th Alabama Infantry Regiment-and then they
fire blanks at each other and maneuver around as they imagine it
actually happened. They pride themselves greatly on the authenticity of
their uniforms and equipment. They will spend thousands of dollars for
various bits and pieces of uniforms, and they will pore over old
dispatches and memoirs to make sure that they've got all of the details
right--all of the details except one, that is: the mindset of the
soldiers who actually fought the real battles. Talk to one of these
Confederate make-believe soldiers sometime. The first thing he will
assure you is that the fact he likes to play soldier in a Confederate
uniform doesn't mean he is a racist. No, no, no! Far from it! In fact,
he will try to persuade you that the real Confederate soldiers weren't
racists either, but instead were models of Political Correctness. Fake
ammunition and fake beliefs. No more integrity or honesty than most of
the supporters of the Confederate flag. They cling to the trivial and
deny the important.

I really have to hold my tongue when I talk with these people. But I do
talk with them. An interest in history certainly is a healthier sign
than no interest in history. So I talk with some of these make-believe
soldiers about military history, and sometimes the conversation can be
steered into more important matters.

I believe that one of our biggest problems today is that our comfort
level does not match our situation. We are far, far more comfortable
than we ought to be, considering our situation. As a race teetering on
the brink of extinction, we should be naked, starving, freezing, and
covered with painful sores from head to foot. We should be miserable,
frightened, and desperate. Then perhaps we would be better able to
understand what is important and what is not. But when we spend our time
chatting on our cell phones while tooling around in our BMWs, we have a
hard time keeping our priorities right.

Of course, back in the 1930s, during the Great Depression, many
Americans were uncomfortable. They had lost their farms, their homes,
their businesses. They couldn't feed their families. They stood in
breadlines. They were cold and miserable. But they still let themselves
be tricked into turning to Franklin Roosevelt and being led into the
cruelest, bloodiest and most destructive war in the history of the
world, a war to save communism and the Jews from the Germans. So what
that tells us is that being uncomfortable is not in itself enough. We
need to have leaders whose priorities are right, and those leaders need
to have open lines of communication to the mass of people, and then the
people need to become uncomfortable enough pay attention to what's
happening. When the right message can be gotten to the people, that's
when they need to be hit hard on the side of the head with a two-by-four
to catch their attention.

Well, the discomfort is coming, believe me, and it's going to be a lot
more painful than being hit with a two-by-four. That's good. That's
necessary. But will we be ready to benefit from the discomfort? At the
end of the Civil War my great-great-grandfather got a good dose of
discomfort. He was kicked out of his job as governor by an enemy army,
He was treated as a war criminal, because he had made the mistake of
being on the losing side. His plantation was burned, along with a huge
warehouse full of baled cotton, which represented most of his actual
wealth. He was no longer a rich and powerful man, no longer a member of
the Southern aristocracy. He was ripe for getting his thinking
straightened out. But of course, it was too late for him to benefit from
a new understanding. If he had understood before the war what he
understood after the war, I am sure that he would have tried to persuade
his fellow Southerners to adopt a wiser course than secession. Or
failing that, he would have fought with more desperation at the battle
of Corinth and perhaps turned that into a Southern victory instead of a
Southern defeat.

What happened to the South reminds me of what happened nearly 130 years
later to the people of South Africa. In the 1970s and 1980s they were
fat and happy. They had built a rich, White country in the southern part
of the African continent. They had wonderfully productive farms,
industries, mines. They had gleaming cities of glass and steel. And they
had lots of cheap, Black labor, which was making the richest South
Africans even richer. But even the ordinary South Africans with whom I
spoke had Black gardeners and Black cooks and Black cleaning women and
Black babysitters. And they weren't concerned at all about the future.
Black terrorism was simply keeping them on their toes a bit, giving
their superb armed forces a little realistic training. They even had
nuclear weapons.

I told them, get rid of your Black workers. Do your own dirty work.
Accept a lower standard of living for a while by depending entirely on
the White labor force. Don't trust your Christian churches and Christian
ministers: they will turn on you. And understand that it is not the
Soviet Union which is your mortal enemy, but the United States.
Communism has infected your Black masses, but White South Africans are
in no danger of becoming infected by it. It is greedy capitalism, which
puts profit and comfort ahead of race, which you must beware of. And
above all, beware of the Jews.

And of course, they were sure that they knew better.  They were offended
by my warnings about their church. There was a special bond between
church and people in South Africa, they assured me. The church supported
apartheid. The Dutch Reformed Church would always stand by White South
Africans. As for the Jews, they were God's Chosen People-the Bible says
so--and besides their interests were the same as those of the Whites.
The only Jews who were hostile to White South Africans were ones like
Harry Oppenheimer, Helen Suzman, Joe Slovo, and a few other Jew
communists, I was told. And as for getting rid of their Black workers,
that was ridiculous. They could keep their Blacks under control, they
assured me. Blacks are like children. They need the White man to tell
them what to do. They know that they could never run the country by
themselves. And so on.

So now the South Africans have lost their country. Their church betrayed
them. Shortly before the vote to end White rule, the church had a
revelation from on high and announced that it had been wrong in
supporting apartheid. Apartheid was not the Christian way, the church
announced. Today the Dutch Reformed Church even accepts Black members. 
The White South Africans were right about one thing, however. Blacks are
like children, and they cannot run the country. That's why it is sinking
rapidly into barbarism and anarchy under Black rule today.

The White South African population as a whole has undergone the
equivalent of being whopped hard on the side of the head with a
two-by-four. Their farmers are being murdered on a regular basis. Their
women are being gang-raped by Blacks on an unprecedented scale, and a
gang-rape by Blacks is almost equivalent to a death sentence, because of
the prevalence of HIV infection among South African Blacks. Many White
South Africans, who used to be assured of good employment and a high
standard of living are now unemployed and destitute, without even enough
money to leave the country. The ones who still have good employment
huddle in walled compounds patrolled by armed guards and ringed with
razor wire. In some areas they will  venture out only in convoys.
Johannesburg, which used to be a clean, decent, and safe city, now has
the highest murder rate in the world.

All of this has done wonders to make White South Africans receptive to
truth and to open their eyes to reality. But, just as in the case of my
great-great-grandfather and the other Southern gentlemen of his era,
it's really too late for the truth to be helpful to them.

What about White Americans? When will they understand that what happens
to Elian Gonzalez and to the Confederate flag and whether the Democrats
or the Republicans win this year are totally and completely unimportant?
When will they understand that the only things which are important now
are the fact that America is being overrun by non-Whites and the fact
that the Jews control the organs of public opinion?

I don't know whether it will be too late or not. About all we can do now
is try to hit as many of them as we can on the side of the head with a
two-by-four.
