Behind the Bastards

America, Grant claimed, was originally settled by a superior stock of Protestant Nordics, a stock rapidly being debased by interbreeding with inferior immigrant aliens.

Unless we stem this hybridization, America will go the way of ancient Rome.

Blacks, Grant believed, were inferior to all other races. Their mental abilities, he wrote, are in pretty direct proportion to the amount of white blood a black has.

Even a mulatto with enough white blood to pass still has traits that may insidiously go back to his black ancestry and may be brought into the white race in this way.

Germany is dominated by two different races.

The good race are the Nordics or Teutonics. These are blonde-haired, blue-eyed people with long heads.

They're very intelligent and Sadler expounds his theory that all great military leaders in history are Nordics, as are all great explorers and adventurers.

If you're a fan of the books about serial killers genre it's a very solid entry into that.

according to herald shefters Deranged in the immediate aftermath of billy's abduction over the course of a single week three separate angry mobs assault a different suspected bogeyman

depraved says the book that i read for this says that uh the story unspooled in the tabloids and kind of the same way that the gaffney abduction had

in 1932 alone there were 282 reported kidnappings in 28 states and all but 65 of the perpetrators had gotten away scot free with their crimes by the summer of 1933

the book depraved also notes that psychics pledged to aid in the efforts to no effect obviously along with an inventor who arrived with what he called a mechanical bloodhound

Yeah, if you're a fan of the books about serial killers genre, it's a very solid entry into that.

According to Harold Schechter's 'Deranged,' in the immediate aftermath of Billy's abduction, over the course of a single week, three separate angry mobs assault a different suspected boogeyman.

Depraved says the book that I read for this says that the story unspooled in the tabloids and kind of the same way that the Gaffney abduction had.

In 1932 alone, there were 282 reported kidnappings in 28 states, and all but 65 of the perpetrators had gotten away scot-free with their crimes.

The book 'Depraved' also notes that psychics pledged to aid in the efforts to no effect, obviously, along with an inventor who arrived with what he called a 'mechanical bloodhound.'

Racial decadence sounds like it should be a good book.

And therefore, while not considering these matters in too grave a light, but at the same time taking the mission which has and he has endeavoured to fulfill in this and subsequent volumes quite seriously.

It will be apparent that if but a little bit has been contributed to the clarification of these basic problems which confront the nation.

If but a might has been added to aid in solving the menacing difficulties discussed in this work.

If but even a trifle has been added to the final turning of the tide of evil influences which jeopardize the white races in general and the American stock in particular.

Then we will have been repaid manifold for the research and other efforts entailed in the writing of this book.

And then after Lothrop Stoddard's book comes out in 1920 and 1922, he writes another copycat racism book called Racial Decadence, in which he claims America's genetic heritage is at risk due to the rapid birth rate of non-white people.

Racial decadence sounds like it should be a good book.

either to save the Union or to free the black man, which is an interesting way of phrasing it.

He said that he believed that the black man deserved his freedom but that this had not made the races fundamentally equal and that the fact that people were now trying to treat them equally was going to destroy the United States.

In 1930 Sadler publishes the truth about heredity.

So he's like this his primary understanding of science is like no FAP ideology right like it's shit that the proud boys believe today.

When you showed me this book, I didn't realize he wrote it. Oh, I mean allegedly. I thought it was some bizarre fan fiction that you got.

I know because I've read a couple reviews of this. That's his sidekick. He's a talking horse.

Yeah, I mean these are number one New York Times best-selling books.

What I hate about them is that they're really quality printing jobs. Like people talked about that in the reviews, but like no, look at this. Look at it, like beautiful illustrations.

It's like Rush Limbaugh, an actual picture of him standing and smiling. I mean we need to also clarify. I mean does he wear a leather jacket? He looks like a substitute teacher. Yeah, he's wearing a fucking leather jacket.

I know because I've read a couple reviews of this. That's his sidekick. He's a talking horse.

The plot of these stories, as far as I have learned from reviews...Is that Rush Revere is like a history teacher at a public school...And he goes back in time to teach kids the history of the United States of America.

What I hate about them is that they're really quality printing jobs. Like people talked about that in the reviews, but like no, look at this. Look at it, like beautiful illustrations. Oh yeah, photos and stuff. It's a really well put together book.

His political viewpoint certainly shows up but less than you might expect. He even defines American exceptionalism in a matter unlikely to offend Rachel Maddow...

Reading the series has given us a nice Break from traditional schooling...They were drawn into the story of Rush Revere At the middle school he teaches and his students They liked that there was time travel involved...

one might ask whether it was not a most grievous sin to pillage with violence women who had their own husbands who was to give an accounting to God for the sins of adultery committed by the Indians whom he took with him and to whom he gave those wives a sexual partners.

slavery was deeply woven into the fabric of the Genoese economy, especially traffic and girls who were only 13 or 14 years old.

Every Genoese household, even modest ones, had one or two female slaves.

Although Christianity prohibited bondage, an exception was made for these non-Christian slaves.

They were Russian, Arab, Mongol, Bulgarian, Bosnian, Albanian, and Chinese.

Slave traders and pirates sold them on a regular basis to Genoa. Occasionally, their wide net included a Christian girl whom they kidnapped and would return for a high ransom. The transactions were formal, notarized, and deeded.

The personal demands that Columbus made of King Joo were far more onerous and unrealistic. He wanted a title, preferably Knight of the Golden Spurs that would permit him and his descendants to style themselves Don.

He also wished for himself the grandest title he could think of, Admiral of the Ocean Sea. With all the privileges of rank, prerogatives, rights, revenue and immunities enjoyed by the admirals of Castile.

she's she's she complains that people try to judge him, quote, from a contemporary perspective rather than from the values and practices of his own time.

So, that's the guy he's named after and that's relevant because he is going to take that name that he gets super literally.

people would gather in town squares day after day sitting for hours listening transfixed by this fascinating but horrific moral tales about the wages of sin.

Bernardino focused especially on sins committed by witches consorting with the devil, the sin of sodomy and the sin of fraternizing with the Jews.

as the anchors were dropped, the men stood on the decks and gazed at the Green Island, a soothing sight after so long at sea with only gray blue water and sky and saw naked people.

She is clear to note that she's trying to look at him, quote, from a contemporary perspective rather than from the values and practices.

It did not automatically imply conquest or ownership.

Quote, the Spanish had come all this way across the ocean sea expecting to confront a superior civilization.

And I ended up talking to an author named Nisad Hajari whose book I reference quite a bit in the second episode, which drops 22, and you know, the first thing he told me was you can't cover everything.

I ended up talking to an author named Nisad Hajari whose book I reference quite a bit in the second episode, which drops 22 and you know, the first thing he told me was you can't cover everything. So once you understand that that's going to be the case and it's going to be a lot easier and it's true like you can't cover everything and I kind of struggled with the narrative I wanted to tell because so many of the stories out there are very biased.

and also like it's as an artist like for me for me specifically, it's like I want to give you like the crumbs of something and then I want you to look into it more right? Like I shouldn't have to force feed you information. I should keep you intrigued enough for you to want to look at this information on your own, you know, so like that's how I how I see it, but I am in a little bit of a different position because film and TV like I program several film festivals and things like that. So I'm also looking through that with that kind of eye, but like I can understand people are like, oh, I wish they talked about this. I wish they talked about this, but you know, you know, I'm just like well, it's six episodes. They have to do all this exposition. They have to do this. That's just impossible, but people aren't thinking that way, but I think it really captured the emotion and the trauma of that event and how sad it is because it is sad to be like, I'll never get to see where my great-grandparents lived or my grandparents because they were children, you know, at least until they decide that's not the case anymore. But yeah, I can understand people's criticism, but I think for me personally, I thought it did a really good job and actually the woman who created the exhibit that I saw in Pakistan that really spearheaded this whole thing for me actually directed episodes 4 and 5 of Miss Marvel. So which is really cool.

She wanted to write a book that would synthesize all her knockoff Buddhist and Hindu beliefs with American spiritualism.

It was founded on one major claim. All the religions of the world, both those currently followed and the ones to come, derived from one common source, ancient hermetic philosophy.

She does eventually come out with her book.

It was founded on one major claim. All the religions of the world, both those currently followed and the ones to come, derived from one common source, ancient hermetic philosophy.

Its basic premises are contained in Corpus Hermeticum, a text of unclear origin translated into Italian and popularized in the 15th century by a Renaissance philosopher, Marsilio Ficino.

Material reality is a product of a complex evolutionary process which subtle spiritual levels of existence create new layers, denser and more physical.

Humans evolved downwards, so to speak, from advanced spiritual beings to more lowly forms.

The human spirit trapped inside the physical body misses the perfection of higher planes of reality.

one of the books that Helena would have grown up loving from this guy is Zanoni which is about a secret order of Rosicrucians who had psychic powers and lived forever.

There is one really good book by podcaster Mike Duncan, who does the Revolutions podcast called The Storm Before the Storm.

As early as 195, Cato the Elder warned his colleagues, 'We have crossed into Greece and Asia, places filled with all the allurements of vice, and we are handling the treasures of kings. I fear that these things will capture us rather than we them.'

Every few years, the Senate would attempt to rein in the ostentatious displays of wealth, but the resulting limitations inevitably went unheeded and unenforced. By fatal coincidence, the Roman people at the same moment both acquired a taste for vice and obtained a license for gratifying it.

moving to a white institution in the north repeated the trauma of moving to a white seminary in the south, which Thomas described in an interview with the crisis the magazine of the NAACP thus quote. So you leave that all black environment and you go into an environment where you are the only black and you are sitting where you live day in day out and attend classes and the only blacks you see are the two women who work in the kitchen and the rest are white people. You go through some changes going through those changes in the charged context of an integrating Northern College campus surrounded by the tenants and texts of blacks nationalism transformed him.

in that milieu Kevin Merida and Michael Fletcher reported in their 2007 biography Supreme Discomfort Thomas's edgy race consciousness stood out when he saw an interracial couple strolling on campus. He'd loudly demand do I see a black woman with a white man? How could that be until 1986 when Thomas met Virginia Lamp who is white and who would become his second wife.

And the book Terraform in Action by Scott Winkler, which has what looks like an Ottoman Janissary on the front. Not really sure what's going on there.

If you want to go read more about it, I have wasted probably four years of my life reading about it. I don't recommend it. But the answer is you can sort of kind of get it to work if you fuck with the numbers a lot. But it's if you do, it's unclear if they mean anything. You can also bypass it entirely by arguing that only works in the level of the entire world economy, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I don't care. If you do care about this, don't yell at me.
