Hello, and welcome back to another edition of American Dissident Voices, the Internet radio program of North America's foremost racialist organization, the National Alliance. I'm your host and the Chairman of the Alliance, Erich Gliebe.
Today's broadcast will be the speech I delivered at the Fall 2009 Leadership Conference of the National Alliance.
As Chairman of our organization, I would like to welcome all of you to the Fall Leadership Conference of the National Alliance. I hope that, following this weekend, each of you here today will return home with a renewed sense of urgency and purpose. Our task will not be achieved on its own, with us and our kinsfolk watching it happen on television. It can only be achieved by focused and intense purpose and effort. That purpose and effort begins with the people in this room.
I'd like to talk to you briefly today about the importance of what we choose to do with our lives. That choice, for many of our kinsmen in this country and around the world, doesn't seem like it is a very important one. What one person decides to do with his life, in the grand scheme of things, seems almost irrelevant. If he makes this decision or that, it doesn't seem to matter much. If he doesn't take care of his body and ends up dying 20 years before he otherwise would, who cares? If he sells insurance or digs ditches or does brain surgery...are any of those things really very significant? Is the world a different or a better place by his having lived his life a certain way?
It is easy to see yourself "small," as just an ordinary White person of more or less normal ability and normal intelligence as compared with the people around us. Of course, each of us has a specific set of abilities and skills, but most people have a view of themselves that they are basically just ordinary people. And aside from the fact that we distinguish ourselves from others because we have a progressive idealism based on racialist principles to guide our lifeÕs decisions - while most Whites don't - it is hard to refute the claim that those of us in this room are basically just regular people.
There is nothing wrong with seeing yourself as an ordinary mortal, as long as we don't allow ourselves to let our ordinary opinions of ourselves to prevent us from participating actively in an extraordinary venture; namely, the salvation of our race from its current position of near-extinction. In other words, we can't let the fact that we blend in with those non-racialists around us get in the way of making a big splash as a part of the organization whose purpose it is to lead the White race into a glorious future.
Let me give you a few examples to help illustrate. The battle of National Socialism against communism during the middle of the last century was one of the greatest struggles of our freedom-loving people against a Semitic ideology of domination and slavery. Although the men who joined this crusade from every country of Europe - my father included - had a vague notion that what was at stake would affect every aspect of the race's future, most of them were ordinary men, and they knew it. But they were united by a worldview that allowed these ordinary men to perform near-miracles and to survive the most unimaginable hardships and deprivations. Although they were ultimately defeated, without the godlike valor of those ordinary mortals, the Red beast would have rolled over Europe and snuffed out Western civilization at its source.
As another example, following the collapse of Rome, when the Huns stormed across the steppes and threatened the racial integrity of Europe, the brave Franks who stemmed the tide and forced it back were ordinary Whites, and they thought of themselves as such. However, they were united in a common and worthy cause: the defense of their land and their homes and their families from a ruthless and alien people. United by that cause, these ordinary men were able to do extraordinary things, and - for the time being, anyway - they saved Europe.
Or what about when White men decided to go to the Moon? NASA's Mercury-Gemini-Apollo space program was made up of a lot of ordinary White people who were united by a common cause and who ended up achieving extraordinary things. Granted, those Whites understood a lot more about calculus and electric circuits and material strength and thrust-to-weight ratios than the average White man, but they were still ordinary men in the sense that they were just doing their jobs. In the same sense, a White secretary or a White nurse or a White teacher or a White doctor simply does his or her job, too, but the big difference is that the "rocket men" were united by a common vision and a common purpose. And that vision and purpose made the impact of the ordinary men of the Apollo program more significant and more lasting than the efforts of the average, hardworking doctor, nurse, or secretary.
There are several common threads that run through the examples I just gave you. One is that, in each case, there were many ordinary people at work, doing basically just ordinary things. And most of those people, no doubt, thought of themselves as just that: ordinary people. Most of them, no doubt, simply viewed their actions as, more or less, "doing their jobs."
Most of them probably realized at some level that what they were doing had the potential for lasting significance, but I doubt if most of them dwelt for very long on that realization. Instead, they focused on the work at hand. They looked at what was right here, right now, and they did whatever they needed to do to solve their existing problems or to prepare to avoid or deal with anticipated future problems. Sure, they allowed themselves to let down and relax when they could, but they didn't let entertainment and pleasure become ends in themselves, as such things have become for so many of our people today. They maintained their focus on the important tasks before them, and they kept at their work for as long as was required.
Another common thread that weaves through the examples I cited earlier is that each of them entailed an overarching idea that guided the actions of those who participated in the endeavor. It wasn't a case where those who participated in the endeavors thought about the guiding idea every waking moment; it was more that the guiding idea was the glue that welded ordinary people together in an extraordinary venture. Furthermore, the overarching idea gave the direction that the struggle must take - the war on Communism, the wars against the Huns, and the shot for the Moon. As both guide and glue, the overarching idea made possible all of the amazing achievements of ordinary White people.
Almost paradoxically, the achievements of those ordinary White people became amazing only after the fact. No doubt, those engaged in the endeavor appreciated their own efforts, but it is only when the deed was done that everyone else realized what an accomplishment had been achieved. And the significance of each of the examples I mentioned has only grown with the passing of time and with our ability to look back and analyze the past. Most of the time - aside from the fact that they knew that what they were doing was important - for the warriors of National Socialism, for the Franks, and for the Moon team, the day-to-day business that they were engaged in might have been little more than a daily grind. But looking back now, we see things differently and we have a great appreciation for their efforts.
And so here we are, almost a decade into the new century, living in a world that is increasingly devoid of White people and in a society that is under the complete domination of an alien ideology. For many of us, our work with the Alliance might seem like a bit of a daily grind; it would certainly be easier and perhaps more fun to stop worrying about the whole thing and spend more time parked in front of a big-screen television, with satellite-TV access to every sport available.
But the interesting thing is that that kind of person isn't attracted to the National Alliance. Those of us in this room can't live with ourselves being couch potatoes; we can't sit around while our world and civilization go down the toilet. It isn't in us to do so.
Those of us in this room are attracted to the guide and the glue that IS the progressive racialist philosophy of the National Alliance. And even though we don't have the time or the luxury to dwell upon the meaning and full ramifications of that philosophy every minute of the day, nonetheless it still draws us to a common purpose and common action, even if that action might, at times, seem like drudgery.
But one reason we are here today is to dwell for a short time on that philosophy, to bask in its beauty, and to celebrate its inherent goodness. Our Cause IS a thing of beauty; how ironic that our enemies have succeeded in convincing the unthinking masses that it is based on hatred rather than love; on anger rather than joy; on subjection rather than freedom.
But we know the truth: Our Cause is rooted in open-doors concepts - noble concepts - like love, joy, and freedom. The love of our people. The joy of unapologetically being who we are. And the freedom to take our race as far as we have it in us to go.
None of those doors are open to us at this time. Our enemies have closed them. Our ancestors' shortsightedness and bad decisions have closed them. And the cowardice of the current generation of Whites has closed them. It is our purpose to open those doors, to get as many of our kinsmen of good will on board, and to see to it that our children and all our descendents may climb the peaks that lie between us and an unimaginably great White future.
We are ordinary White people united in an extraordinary Cause. But it is my hope and belief that these ordinary people will be able to achieve what our enemies currently believe is impossible for us to achieve: a new homogeneous White nation, guided by a racialist worldview and led by a White government whose highest purpose is NOT the gathering of votes, but the health and wealth and vigor and strength and culture of the White people of the nation. This organization, the National Alliance, is the first step toward that end. And it is about that organization, and the many so-called ordinary people who dedicate their lives to its ideals, that the history books of the future will be written.
Thank you very much.
