By Max Musson:
Last Saturday I was in London and as the evening drew on I found myself in conversation with an activist who is a man of action in every sense of the word — the kind of man one would like to have by one’s side in a ‘sticky situation’ — a man who can foresee the dangerous times that lie ahead for our nation and is more than ready to step in harm’s way in order to play his part in bringing about the salvation of our people. In fact the term ‘more than ready’ doesn’t accurately reflect the relish with which this man anticipates the role he may one day be called upon to play and yet his words to me revealed a wisdom that belied his apparent impulsiveness – a wisdom gained on the field of battle when men realise their lives might be cut short in an instant – when men realise that their very survival depends as much upon the brains of their leaders as it does upon the courage of their comrades.
“The trouble with the nationalist movement”, he told me, “is that too many people think they are f#*king Napoleon or something, when they’re not”, and he went on to explain that while this country needs “men with balls”, these men have got to learn to recognise the value of those who have the brains to direct their efforts to the greatest effect. It is of course a ‘no brainer’, but it is an obvious truth that far too many fail to fully appreciate.
The problem is that while many nationalist groups are indeed led by people with brains and these people are very well versed in what they know, in the majority of cases, they are not smart enough to realise the full extent of what they don’t know and of what they are not able to perceive.
I was speaking to a newly qualified mathematics teacher recently and she had struggled to get to grips with the principles of calculus and in my conversation with her, I remarked that while we often think we’re very smart and yet struggle to grasp such things, we often fail to realise just how much cleverer the people were who actually invented calculus (Sir Isaac Newton & Gottfried Leibnitz). Who taught themselves calculus when there was no-one in the world who could teach them this branch of mathematics, which did not at that time exist – the mere conception of which eluded virtually everyone else alive and had eluded everyone else who had ever lived before them!
We know what we know, and most of us will know our limitations and appreciate some of what we don’t know, but very few of us readily realise the full extent of what we don’t know and the degree to which this holds us back.
I enjoy playing chess and I am well known amongst friends and family for regarding chess as the mental equivalent of arm wrestling. It is in my view a very pure test of relative intelligence in the same way that arm wrestling is a very pure test of the relative strength of one’s biceps, and there is a historic chess game played in 1912, the moves of which have been recorded, which demonstrates the depth with which the keenest minds on this planet think through the problems they have and the tactics they will use.
Most people play chess thinking just one or two moves ahead. For them the massive variety of potential moves makes it impossible for them to hold in their heads anything like the full range of potential strategies available to them and so in deciding each move, they tend to simply react to the last move made by their opponent, but this is not so with world class chess champions.
The game to which I refer above is one played between Edward Lasker and Sir George Thomas, a video showing the moves of which is below, and as we can see, the game proceeds apparently quite unremarkably for the first ten moves. In the eleventh move however, Lasker playing white makes an astounding queen sacrifice, which forces his opponent to take the white queen with his king and from that moment on Lasker is able to force Sir George Thomas to make a series of moves leading to checkmate on the 18th move.
What this game reveals is that Lasker was planning at least eight moves ahead! And what this game demonstrates very clearly is the level by which the world’s keenest minds outthink the average person. Very few people unfamiliar with this game would anticipate or foresee the consequence of Lasker’s eleventh move. For most people that eleventh move at the point it was played would have seemed crazy. They might have deduced that it would give Lasker the initiative momentarily in that game, at great cost to his game in the long run — the loss of his queen — but very few people would have foreseen the series of eight forced moves that would lead Sir George Thomas to unavoidable defeat.
If you are not yet impressed by this chess game, I would suggest that you set out a chess board and play the moves shown up until Lasker’s eleventh move and then try to avoid being forced to make the moves that Sir George Thomas made thereafter. It is impossible to avoid making those moves without succumbing to checkmate even earlier.
It is not what we know or what we know we don’t know that counts – the shortcomings of which we are aware, it is the possibilities that we cannot even conceive, the things we are unknowingly ignorant of, but which are perceived by our opponents that make us most vulnerable and this is why it is so important that those who ‘think they are Napoleon’ learn to recognise their limitations and embark upon a strategy that brings into play the best minds we can muster.
Such a strategy does not involve leading one’s own little nationalist faction and being a ‘big fish in a small pond’, it involves our leaders coming together and employing a collegiate form of leadership — having the courage to expose ourselves to the risk of being shown to be just one of the ‘larger fish’ in a ‘bigger pool’ — but having also the confidence of knowing that when that moment of truth arrives, not only will we have courageous men of action available, capable of great acts of heroism, but we will also have at our sides people with the best brains and the keenest vision, and with strategies that encompass possibilities that may have otherwise never occurred to us.

An amazing chess game. But, Max, You’ll frighten the life out of us with quotes like this:
There are “possibilities that we cannot even conceive; There are the things we are unknowingly ignorant of, but which are perceived by our opponents and which make us MOST vulnerable.”
Actually all that is required of nationalists is that they have the courage to speak the Truth out loud, and that they persevere in doing so.

Hi Richard, I’m sorry if that quote came over as chillingly as you suggest, I was referring to ‘us’ individually rather than collectively, with the intention of conveying the message that only through a ‘collegiate’ form of leadership bringing together the best minds available to us, can we make available to our movement a collective wisdom/intellect capable of leading us to victory.
.
It is worth noting here that Lasker was Jewish, as have been a number of world class chess players, and we can be sure that people like him have been responsible for much of the strategic planning that has so confounded our people over the last century and more.
.
If only what you say were true, that simply speaking the truth loudly will be enough bring us success, but as we all know, there have been nationalists doing that for the past 70 years at least, and we don’t seem to have made much progress. As I keep saying, it is time for us to adopt a new approach, we cannot continue as we have done in recent times if we hope to succeed in the future.

The vast majority of people like to live in the comfort zone of what they’re familiar with and what they already know..”in the dusty recesses of their minds”…doing no more than reacting to their opponents last move: “but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.” T.E.

One move to win a chess championship or tournament is to not let your top opponents turn up in the first place.

Max, your comment about many chess champions being of Jewish origin prompted me to rediscover the former world chess champion, Bobby Fischer. This is what Wikipedia has to say…A little off topic I’m afraid but nonetheless interesting…
.
“From the 1980s on, Fischer’s comments about Jews were a major theme in his public and private remarks. He openly denied the Holocaust, and called the United States “a farce controlled by dirty, hook-nosed, circumcised Jew bastards”. Between 1999 and 2006, Fischer’s primary means of communicating with the public was radio interviews. He participated in at least 34 such broadcasts, mostly with radio stations in the Philippines, but also in Hungary, Iceland, Colombia, and Russia. In 1999, he gave a radio call-in interview to a station in Budapest, Hungary, during which he described himself as the “victim of an international Jewish conspiracy”. In another radio interview, Fischer said that it became clear to him in 1977, after reading The Secret World Government by Count Cherep-Spiridovich, that Jewish agencies were targeting him.”
.
“Fischer’s library contained anti-semitic and white supremacist literature such as Mein Kampf, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and The White Man’s Bible and Nature’s Eternal Religion by Ben Klassen, founder of the Church of the Creator.”

Bobby Fischer is regarded by many as the greatest chess player of all time and he certainly was one of the best. A significant number of world class chess players and past chess champions have been Jewish and this follows from the fact that during the Middle Ages learned rabbinical families practiced inbreeding in which first cousin marriages were common in order to promote the transmission of high intelligence to subsequent generations within their family blood-line.
.
One consequence of such crude inbreeding however is that genetic flaws often become concentrated among the offspring in addition to the desired characteristics being selected for, and while certain strains within the Jewish gene pool do convey very high intelligence, producing a disproportionate number of chess geniuses for example, this high intelligence often comes at a high cost in terms of the incidence of autism, Asperger’s Syndrome and other manic psychological conditions including paranoia.
.
Bobby Fischer clearly had Jewish ancestry and I would hazard a guess that this may have been the reason for his very high intelligence and his aptitude for chess, but his mother was not an observant Jew and Fischer was apparently raised neither as a Jew in the religious sense, nor as a Jew in the sense that he lived within a Jewish community or self-identified as a Jew. Evidently, Fischer self-identified as White and regarded Jews with antipathy.
.
I suspect that Fischer had some degree of Asperger’s Syndrome and this, combined with his prominence in the public eye and the public controversy of his views regarding Jews, led him to exhibit the paranoia that was a feature of the latter part of his life.

I have to argue Max, on your classifying Aspergers as a “manic psychological condition”. We are not anymore prone to mania than other-minded Aryans. We are more prone to depression, living amongst far more socially minded humans than ourselves but we are otherwise just as mentally stable as the rest of our kin.
Some theories suggest we are a vestige of the Neanderthal, the European race before the journey south in the last ice age caused the blood of Europe to become slightly tainted (by a percent or so) as we prefer smaller, tight knit groups, individual hunting and often show creative and psychic abilities beyond most other Aryans.
I’m digressing, but I can assure you that there are plenty of Nationalist minded Aspergers and High functioning Autists, who are of sound mind with a great deal of loyalty, intelligence and creativity to offer our people.

Sorry SS, I didn’t mean to infer that Asperger’s is a manic condition, I should have put an apostrophe after the word ‘other’ to indicate that I was talking about ‘other conditions, which are manic’ rather than ‘other conditions that, like Asperger’s, are manic’.
.
I hope that makes sense.

I totally agree with this article. As Plato eluded to in his masterpiece, The Republic, there are different types of people, and they shouldn’t overlap in their natural roles. Self-awareness and a commitment to truth is all that’s needed to understand where you line up in the grand scheme of things.
I will, however, say one more thing: there is more to performance than raw ability, but that doesn’t mean raw ability should be dismissed. A paradox, sure, but an understandable one, right? 14 Words.

This is an excellent article. The arrogance of some nationalist leaders has been the problem.
One important court win for us was mark souster v bbc in which he won a successful anti english discrimination case. This shocked the left and they are still in denial.
English national origins are a protected characteristic so we can force the public sector and police to deal with anti white racism

Divided suits our enemies very well. The problem is that although many leaders say they are Nationalist first and foremost they will not give up their ‘big fish in a small pond’ status.
As you say we don’t know for certain what the future holds. It was not so long ago that we were saying that we would be a minority in our own lands in one hundred years. It then reduced to eighty, sixty and now is thought to be a lot less. One thing is certain. Our number of moves reduces every day.
