A Personal Disclosure

I have generally avoided discussing details of my personal life on this blog. I don't wish to change that, but there is something I feel obligated to divulge.

My wife's father was an ashkenazi jew. He died when she was young but was by all accounts a loving, intelligent, and productive man who was not involved in stereotypically jewish politics or activism. My wife was not raised as a jew, though she is of course genetically 1/2 ashkenazi, and thus our children are, on average, genetically 1/4 ashkenazi.

I have not previously written of this for several reasons.

When I first started blogging in 2005 it seemed no more relevant to what I was thinking and writing than any other detail of my personal life. At that time I had no explicit racial awareness. I knew little about jews and considered them "white". People who thought otherwise seemed insane to me.

In 2007, with a deepening understanding of globalization and immigration, and especially neo-conservative hypocrisy (Sailer's "invade the world, invite the world"), I began to violate PC in earnest. I became racially aware. I realized then that my wife and children's jewish heritage was relevant, though at that time I saw it only as a potential shield from smears of "anti-semitism". I did not use it then for the same reason I have never resorted to "some of my best friends are..." defenses. Such tactics are a distraction, ultimately a waste of time and energy.

Since 2007 I have come to appreciate the biological and psychological differences between Whites and jews, as well as the history of jewish aggression and malfeasance against Whites. What I had seen as a shield turned into an achilles heel. I cared less about offending jews and more about offending fellow Whites. My self-regard shifted from confidence to unease.

I love my family. What I want stands. I can't roll back time and make this revelation sooner, but I can at least be forthright about it from here on.

Interesting revelation. Thanks for sharing.

You deserve a lot of respect for never using this fact in the "some-of-my-best-friends-are-Jewish" manner.

(Hope your personal revelations and public writings haven't put a strain on your marriage. :-/ )

All the best,
Cordelia

Any reasonable man will accept this and move on. You deal in facts and that is commendable during ths sorry age, which you aptly describe in your blogs title. I certainly hope that this was not done under duress.

My great grandfather was an Ashkenazi Jew who converted to Roman Catholicism. The rest of my ancestry is Irish and Scottish, the Irish dominant.

I have learned a hell of a lot from blogs like yours (like you "I had no explicit racial awareness" and no idea of the power that Jews hold in our nations). One of the reasons I have never commented on any blog like yours is because always at the back of my mind is the thought that White Nationalism may ultimately lead to not just me, but my children coming under attack solely because of some genetic link to Jews.

I find it troubling, as it sounds like you do.

Personally I do not understand why White Nationalism and opposition to inordinate Jewish control and involvement at the upper echelons in our nations must result in some sort of extermination programme against them.

Perhaps I am biased due to my own ancestry and the fears I have for my children. But logically I don't see why one must follow the other. Why opposing Jewish power necessarily must result in an exterminationist programme against them.

Further, I think this notion is a liability to any White movement.

As a matter of fact I was going to ask you some time ago whether you are opposed to any White person with any Jewish ancestry being involved in the White movement. I suppose now is the time, though be assured that I am not taking advantage of this revelation as some sort of backing you into a corner. I don't expect you to answer of course if you don't wish to. I am not taking advantage of this post other than, I feel in a similar position to you.

I followed the interview between Hunter Wallace and the White Southerner, as well as the Linder Wallace debate. I agree with a lot of what Linder has to say but I am flabbergasted by the demand that Wallace prove himself as worthy of The Cause by extolling the virtues of some genocidal programme against the Jews.

I take their point that the effect of Jewish control is genocide against Whites. I agree with that position. But it is not as if all Jews are lock step in this pogrom. I am quite certain from what I see, read, watch and experience that certain Jewish groups and individuals are deliberately conniving to undermine our nations. But not all Jews are doing so and more importantly, there is nothing the Jews can do that we don't or haven't let them do.

To my thinking it is too simplistic an explanation to sheet home all blame for our nation's problems to the Jews.

Our own fellow Whites have also contributed. Whether they are useful fools is neither here nor there. The majority of them aren't foolish and know exactly what they are doing. The destruction of the White West is not a goal of certain Jewish groups and individuals alone. It is a goal of many White groups and individuals, as well as Black and Asian.

I have found your blog liberating in that I first heard the notion that doing something in OUR, i.e. White interests has nothing to do with any other race or culture. It doesn't mean we are anti-semitic, it means we are doing what every other race and culture does - acting in our interests.

If anyone objects to us acting in our interests then it is obvious who is the racist (not that I believe in the term), it is obvious who is opposing White Nationhood. They are.

That is the direction I believe the White movement is better served. I see no reason to make war unless war is declared. Firstly I think it is best to develop a movement that acts in our interests and answer, as above, to those who object - "What is wrong with us acting in our interests." It is a game changer I believe.

Anyway, thanks for all your blogging efforts so far and I hope that they continue. All power to you.

The one absolutely does not follow logically from the other. And, personally, I would not have any part in any sort of "exterminationist programme" against anybody.

Absolutely.

That's quite a revelation, Tanstaafl.

Does your wife know your positions on race and jews? Do you consider her to be a jew? It's hard for me to understand how you hold your positions on jews if your wife is jewish.

I'm not opposed to anyone I believe is earnestly seeking to advance White interests. The problem with semi-jews is that they are typically more concerned with jewish interests. Compounding this problem is their typical inability to be forthright about it.

If anyone objects to us acting in our interests then it is obvious who is the racist (not that I believe in the term), it is obvious who is opposing White Nationhood. They are.

Yes, we will debate and pursue our interests, and those who oppose this reveal themselves as enemies. The war however is already underway, and has been for centuries. Many of our kind have been beguiled or blackmailed into taking themselves out of the fight. A small but powerful minority are actively allied with the enemy.

Yes.

Jews don't consider her jewish, she doesn't consider herself jewish, and I don't consider her jewish. That said, Whites like myself distrust jews and semi-jews for good reason. She understands this.

It's hard for me to understand how you hold your positions on jews if your wife is jewish.

I'm aware of the significance of Esther.

I understand why it is hard for you to understand. It has to do with putting jews on a pedestal, considering them and their interests more important than our own. I remember, to my shame, that I used to do that. I don't do it any more.
