Book I - Comparative Religions Part IX - British Israel - Identity
A Vice-President in charge of advertising for a large cosmetics firm was chatting with a friend, exchanging a little banter over a few drinks.
"How can you make such fantastic claims for your cosmetics?" asked the friend.
"It's easy," replied the V. P. "We just lie like hell."
"But how do you get away with it?"
"No problem," replied the V. P. "The women desperately want to believe that our face creams and lotions and potions will do all those wonderful things for them. So they just buy, buy, buy. They're happy, and we make millions."
This brings us to the subject I want to expose and examine in more detail, namely, the art of spook-peddling, which is even more profitable and more deceptive than promoting cosmetics.
Today, with the aid of the electronic Jew, one of the most lucrative (and deceptive) rackets on the modern scene is the nefarious art of peddling spooks in return for millions. It is a con-game without parallel. We have such unholy con-artists as Oral Roberts, Rex Humbard, Jerry Falwell, Garner Ted Armstrong, Billy Hargis, Billy Graham, Jimmy Swaggert, Pat Robertson, Jim Bakker, Robert Schuller, and the late, great Jim Jones of Guyana fame, and slews of lesser con-men on the boob-tube selling the spooks-in-the-sky swindle, day in and day out. Many of these top- notch con-artists take in forty, fifty and sixty million dollars of funny money a year. Federal Reserve notes that are as phony as the lies these swindlers are peddling to their gullible victims. With or without the electronic boob- tube, this racket has been going on for thousands of years.
However, in the last century or so a new breed of purveyors has been emerging that has given the standard hellfire and brimstone crowd a new twist, and that is the British-Israel wing, also known as the Identity movement. Since the accompanying Liberty Bell article gives a scholarly history of this movement, I need not repeat it here, but rather I want to focus on the impact it has had, and is having today, in the crucial battle for the survival of the White Race.
Some of these Christians, those who have discovered what skillful and congenital liars the Jews are, of how obnoxious and repugnant they have been throughout history, found themselves in a serious dilemma. Since most of their precious bible is Jewish from cover to cover and keeps gushing repeatedly about Yahweh's endless and palpitating love affair with these despicable reprobates, they found this hard to take. So some ingenious inventor came up with a brilliant new twist. Why not claim that the Jews are not at all the real Israelites, but children of the Devil, and we, the White Race are the genuine article. Why, with a little sleight of hand, some clever juxtapositioning and a lot of gullibility, we can claim that the 'Ten Lost Tribes of Israel" wandered into an uninhabited Europe sometime in the first millennium B.C.E. and rapidly populated it from one end to the other. Isn't that wonderful? Now we, the White Race, can claim that we are the real Israelites and the scurvy Jews are nothing but phony impostors. Isn't that great? (Why, with the same procedure, you could be Napoleon Bonaparte reincarnated. All it takes is a little bit of INSANITY.) Ipso facto, the problem is solved. Now WE are the ones that the Yahweh of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob so dearly loved that he would knock himself silly in order to ingratiate himself with these reprobates that had all the morals of an alley cat. How lucky can you get?
In a nutshell, that is the position of the Identity movement.
There are so many misconceptions contained in the fraudulent assumptions of the Identity movement that it is hard to list them all. But I will try to sort them out.
(1) There is not a shred of evidence that the Jewish tribal god of Yahweh existed in the supposed time of Abie, Ikey, and Jakey, or exists today, anymore than that Santa Claus or Mother Goose exists, or existed.
(2) There is not a shred of evidence that Abraham, Isaac or Jacob (or Moses, for that matter) ever existed, and all indications are that they are no more than fictitious figments of the Jewish imagination.
(3) There is not a shred of historical evidence that there ever were any Ten Lost Tribes, and if they ever existed and got lost, all I can say is GOOD RIDDANCE. Too bad the other two didn't disappear also.
(4) It is absolutely preposterous to claim that Europe was an empty wasteland until the "Lost Ten Tribes of Israel" entered into it and suddenly populated it. It is contrary to Greek history. Roman history, Celtic history. Prankish history, Teutonic history and all other authentic history. It also contradicts all archaeological evidence that has been unearthed in the last several centuries, including cave drawings in France, Spain and other parts of Europe. Many of these artifacts and drawings by our White European ancestors date back as much as 20 thousand years. For a thorough anthropological study of our ancestry, I suggest you read the November issue of National Geographic. Also Madison Grant's classic, "Passing of the Great Race" is an excellent treatment on the subject of racial movement in prehistoric Europe.
(5) We now come to the final question: considering what sleazy characters Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were, according to the highly touted Old Testament itself, who but a deranged idiot WOULD WANT to have these lecherous pimps, murderers and whoremongers for their ancestors? I would much prefer to have a set of genuine old-fashioned horse thieves for my progenitors than these sleazy Jewish reprobates.
Besides being a shiftless nonentity at the age of 75, Abraham (so the stupid story goes) was a footloose pimp who peddled his (half-sister) wife to the highest bidder, not only once, but repeatedly, for ill-begotten loot. He murdered a number of people. He fornicated with his maid. He and Sarah had their first child when both were ninety-nine. (Would you believe?) Isaac followed a similar pattern. Jacob deceived his senile, blind father and betrayed his brother Esau, all with Yahweh's explicit blessings. Then there is that great Lion of Israel, Judah, who fornicated with his daughter-in-law believing she was a common roadside whore. There is the big Star of the Show, King David, who while wooing King Saul's
daughter Michal, brought a dowry of two hundred foreskins from slain Philistine warriors to Saul. (Read it for yourself: I Samuel, Ch. 18, Verse 27.) For more sick, lurid details read Chapter 10, "The Old Testament" in Nature's Eternal Religion.
Now I ask any sane, intelligent White Man who has not yet gone bonkers in the name of Yahweh, why would you want to break your neck to distort history and WANT to be a descendant of such trash that even the morals of an alley cat would be put to shame? I would say that no sane, self-respecting White Man would. We now come to the next cogent question: Why should we Creators, who are totally dedicated to the survival, expansion and advancement of the White Race be particularly concerned about those misguided souls that believe in British-Israel? After all, they constitute only a minor percentage of the Christian population, perhaps less than one percent.
Well, there are good and sufficient reasons why we should be concerned. Whereas the overwhelming majority of White Christians do not believe they are the "real Israelites", the average run of Christians are the poorest of all prospects for building a White racial movement. For all practical purposes, the gung-ho Christian is unreachable for the present. The Identity crowd, on the other hand, are a different breed of cat. They crave Identity as a member of the White Race and arc therefore the type of people the White Race needs to save itself. The big problem is they want to keep their hang-up with the Jewish spooks intact at the same time, a frustrating dilemma that splits their loyalty straight down the middle. We therefore have dual loyalists (as the SPOTLIGHT calls the Jews) that claim to be for the White Race, but also for the Jewish spook - an impossible incongruity. In so doing they confuse the hell out of those White racists that could effectively help wage the war for the survival and resurrection of the White Race,
Not only do they vastly confuse the issue, but these befuddled spook-chasers hate us rational White Loyalists much more passionately than they hate the Jews. Why? Because the Jews claim to believe in some kind of spook, even if they don't believe in Jesus Christ, so they can be forgiven. But we Creators oy vey! That is a different story. We cut the very ground out from under them that supports their favorite hang-up their personal Holy Cow. We demolish with sheer rationality all this intoxicating nonsense about spooks all around us, surveilling us, monitoring us, judging us, burning us in Hell. It makes them insanely furious that we expose and ridicule their cherished escape into insanity, and they would gladly burn us in Hell if they could, as witness the letter from Bishop Grant R. Powell, which we publish on a previous page. Is there anyone more vicious, more sadistic, more hateful than a born-again Christian? I think not.
I remember a meeting I attended in Kansas City in 1 977. There was good old Gerda Koch expounding on how our country and our constitution were solidly built on the Christian Bible, an idea thoroughly repudiated by the Founding Fathers, who were determined to keep the church out of government. However, as she fixed her baleful eye on me, her main invective was directed against those miscreants who did not "believe" in the supernatural.
Then there is the Rev. Richard Butler, who with an engineering background should know better. As head of "Aryan Nations" he is pursuing the "Dual Loyalist" course of a true hypocrite, subservient to the Jew-concocted spooks and White racism, two completely conflicting and diametrically opposed concepts. But when it comes to those who would fight for and pursue a rational and well structured creed and program for White survival without dragging all this damn spooks clutter along with us, why, then all hell breaks loose, and there is no fury equal to that of a spook-chaser spurned.
It is the position of the Church of the Creator that the fight for survival against overwhelming odds is going to be fierce and drastic enough as it is, without weighing ourselves down with a lot of unnecessary clutter and tying our hands behind our back. (See "Self- imposed Handicap", Issue No. 6, EXPANDING CREATIVITY.) Who needs all this confusion, clutter and bickering that the Christians themselves haven't been able to reconcile for the last 18 centuries. We sure as hell don't, and it must (and will!) be our continuing pro-gram to purge the White Man's mind of all this Jewish trash and rubbish.
At this point I would like to ask every White Man to ask his own conscience this categorical question: What is so great in having "deep and abiding faith" in wine "belief that is founded on neither fact nor logic? For example, could any thinking man have anything other than pity and contempt for a Hindu who insisted in believing cows are holy? Or a Christian, who "believes" in spooks in the sky that no one in all history has ever seen, heard, felt or smelt? Or an Identity fanatic, who will persist in claiming that the mythical "Ten Lost Tribes of Israel" populated Europe in short order and are our ancestors, when every piece of archaeological evidence, every written manuscript of history, categorically refutes such nonsense?
We Creators are sick and tired of putting up with such idiots who will indulge in such obvious insanities, and expect that we will "respect" their "beliefs".
Frankly, we have no intention of doing so, or even tolerating such nonsense anymore than we intend to respect a Hindu's "belief that cows are holy. Facts are facts, evidence is evidence, and nonsense is nonsense. Pity the poor bastard who can't tell the difference. We will use our intelligence and our good judgment in the area of religion just as we will in any other. We will praise and commend good common sense, and we will ridicule and condemn any person, idea or movement that we find is based on nothing more than a nonsensical "belief.
But let us look further into the claims and character of the prestigious Rev. Richard Butler.
Recently a young man came all the way from the state of Washington to visit us at our World Headquarters. He had been working with the Jews in Hollywood when he slowly became aware of what an odious and repugnant bunch they were, which, in turn, alerted his racial consciousness. Moving to Spokane, Washington, he became aware of the Aryan Nations group, who further aroused his racial loyalty. Someone gave him a copy of The White Man's Bible, which he read with considerable interest. When he asked the Rev. Butler about this book, the latter, avid Christian that he is, immediately responded with contempt, "Oh, Klassen, he's a Jew! He's an atheist! He's got to be a Jew!"
Now, Christians brag' about their veracity, their kindness and charity. The Rev. Butler flagrantly violated all these tenets out of hand, without giving it a second thought, confirming what I have always contended: Never trust a Christian. Anyone who would lie to himself will repeatedly lie to others.
The facts are Klassen is a CREATOR, not an atheist, anymore than Butler is an infidel dog (according to the Moslem view). Nor is Klassen a
Jew, anymore than Butler is a black nigger. (Should Butler, in fact, be a nigger, I will retract that statement.) The Rev. Butler had every opportunity in the world to check my racial genealogy before disseminating such a derogatory lie. But he didn't bother. He evidently felt he had to protect his "Identity" hang-up at ail costs, and lying about someone else evidently presented no problem. As I said before - anyone who will lie to himself....
There are those confused and well meaning Individuals who will say - let's not bring up religion. Let's all just get together and fight the Jews. Maybe even the niggers and the Mexicans. Everyone's "religious faith" is a private matter and let's leave well enough alone.
Sounds good. But it doesn't work that way. Anyone's private "faith" is very much a concern in a life and death battle for the survival of our race. For instance, would you join hands with a White Man whose "private faith" was communism? Or if he belonged to the Black Muslims? Or if he was a dedicated Mooney? Or if he embraced Judaism? Or, like Jerry Falwell and his ilk, was an Israel Firster?
No, I would not. There is nothing more dangerous than having a schizophrenic with a split loyalty in your ranks and having to depend on him in time of crisis. And that is exactly what the Identity crowd is. They are hypocrites with a dual loyalty that is split between loyalty to the White Race and loyalty to Jewish Christianity, two diametrically opposed concepts that are fundamentally hostile to each other. The Billy Grahams, the Jerry Falwells and the rest of their ilk, at least we know where they stand, and we won't ever entertain any trust in them. But the Identity crowd is even more dangerous because they would deceive us by pretending they are on our side. But we Creators don't believe them. Comes der Crunch, and they will opt for the rapture, Jesus Christ, Yahweh and all the rest of that clutter. So we are their enemies, and they are ours. The sooner we realize this, the clearer will be our thinking, and the better off we will all be. I have no illusions about straightening out the confused clutter in the minds of such as the Rev. Richard Butler. Like concrete, their minds are all mixed up and hard set. He and his kind are a lost cause. However, it is the younger set like the young man that came to us, whose minds are still open and receptive, it Is to these we appeal.
We say to them: dump all this Jewish Christianity and its accompanying garbage. Join with us in a rational hard-hitting White racial religion that if dedicated to the survival, expansion and advancement of the White Race, and the White Race alone. It is well structured, it is clear, it is complete, it is comprehensive. It is specifically designed to overcome the treacherous Jewish network and again make the White Race the pride and epitome of Nature's Realm.
Can we do it? You damn right we can, and we will. We now have in our hands the blueprint and the tools to do it with. If we distribute and place in the hands of our White Racial Comrades as few as 1 million copies of our White Man's Bibles, not only the battle, but also the whole war will be won, once and for all. And believe me, it will be the biggest bargain the White Race ever bought for itself. We spend more in one day, than the 1 million Bibles would cost, on subsidizing the free-loading niggers in our midst, not to mention Israel, the Jews and all the other parasites on a global scale.
Once the CREATIVITY idea has permeated the White Man's mind, the battle will be over for all time. We will then be able to save our ecology, save our land, save our planet and get on with the long term job of up-breeding and advancement of our precious race.
We have ample means with which to do the job - so let's get with it! (Read again Issue No. 9, "We Are Not Helpless," in EXPANDING CREATIVITY.)
Identity vs. Creativity - A Comparison
A. Basis of Belief.
The Identity movement is a fragmented, loose and scattered conglomerate, and no specific set of beliefs would accurately characterize all of its many parts. The best we can do, therefore, is to generalize, and in so doing we can state two beliefs that the many fragmentary groups have in common; (a) They strongly espouse Jewish Christianity as portrayed in the Old and New Testaments, and (b) the peculiar twist that the "Ten Lost Tribes of Israel" wandered into, and populated Europe, something not even remotely suggested by either the Old or New Testament, and most emphatically repudiated by all authentic history to which we are heir in today's civilization.
These two beliefs are both based on pure fantasy and absolute I nonsense. Furthermore, they completely contradict one another. Anyone who believes in the Jewish Bible ( O.T. & NT.) can hardly come to such an absurd and paradoxical conclusion. In fact, the whole reasoning process here exemplifies some bizarre mental gymnastics, and defies all logic. Starting with an unsubstantiated hypothesis (the spooks in the sky theory) it is followed by a non-sequitur (that the historic Europeans are the "Ten Lost Tribes of Israel," whose historic existence is extremely questionable in the first place).
CREATIVITY on the other hand is based on Logic and Common Sense, the Eternal Laws of Nature, and a critical study of past history. It faces reality and accepts the facts of life and the universe as they are. It seeks through logic and reason to build a better life for our race and future progeny.
B. Goals and Objectives.
Again, the goals of the Identity people are fuzzy and clouded, but can be best described as (a) fighting for the survival of the White Race, and (b) the spreading of Jewish Christianity. The ultimate goal, it would seem, would be to have the White Race again ruling America and the world with Christianity being the dominant power over the White Race (and the world), not unlike the tyrannical power it once wielded during the Dark Ages.
CREATIVITY'S goals have been spelled out repeatedly, and they are: The survival, expansion and advancement of the White Race, with ultimately the White Race inhabiting (solely) this Planet Earth, devoid of mud races. This can be further expanded into the Twenty Points of Creativity as set forth at the end of this book.
C. Racial Attitude.
Here the Identity movement and Creativity have much common ground. Identity preaches White Supremacy, whereas Creativity goes one step further and advocates not White Supremacy, but completely White hegemony and exclusive possession of all the good lands of this Planet Earth.
D. Organizational Structure.
The Identity movement is a loose conglomerate of many parts with no central point of focus, and little coordination.
The Church of the Creator has its World Center near Otto, North Carolina and its organization is based on the Leadership Principle. It has ordained ministers who represent the creed and program of the Church in most States in this country, and also several foreign countries. Its creed and program are clearly spelled out in its Three Basic Books, and Expanding Creativity, Building a Whiter and Brighter World, and this book, Rahowa! Its creed and program are clear, comprehensive, consistent, complete and well-structured, covering the whole spectrum of eugenics, race, religion, morals, politics, economics and culture for the present and future welfare of the White Race.
British-lsraelism: White Men in the Wilderness
By permission of Liberty Bell Magazine, Reedy, WV.
That part of the world which the Romans called Palestine was known as Canaan to its original inhabitants, a luckless people who were displaced from their homeland by twelve tribes of Hebrew- speaking invaders who employed the rather unedifying methods of conquest described in the Old Testament book of Joshua. After consolidating their gains, the Hebrews under the rule of Jereboam, around 900 B.C.E., divided themselves into a northern kingdom of Israel and a southern kingdom of Judah. Two centuries later, the ten tribes living in Israel became the notorious Ten Lost Tribes when they were carried off into captivity by the Assyrians. And thus came to pass a great mystery.
Perhaps the Gnostic heretic who held that the world was created by an evil demiurge was correct, because the truth concerning most supposedly great mysteries is usually either unpleasant or boring. The truth about the ten tribes, which falls into the latter category, is certainly no exception to this rule. Sensible historians have concluded that the lost tribes were assimilated into the Assyrian nation, with what effect we do not know save for the fact that the Assyrians soon thereafter disappeared from history.
The boring facts, however, have not stopped various hopeful or imaginative people who have rushed forth with delightful nonsense in explanation of the Ten Lost Tribes. The Puritans, hopeful that they might have a chance to convert ten-twelfths of Jewry, believed at first that the American Indians were the errant Hebrews. Americus Symmes, son of John Cleves Symmes (1742-1814), and exponent of the hollow earth theory, fantasized that explorers in quest of confirmation for his father's theory would find that they had been anticipated by the missing tribes who had long ago discovered the inner earth to be an ideal redoubt against Assyrians, Babylonians, and Roman tax-collectors. Finally, more than one science fiction writer has found an extraterrestrial abode for the lost tribes, a whimsy that was possibly the literary projection of an earnest wish.
Most theories concerning the lost tribes are simply silly, but one, British-Israel or Anglo-lsraelitism, is somewhat pernicious in its effects and should be exposed as such. The fourteenth edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica includes the following definition of this theory: "Anglo- lsraelitism, the contention that the English-speaking peoples are the descendants of the Ten Tribes of Israel deported by Sargon of Assyria on the fall of Samaria in 721 B.C.E. Richard Brothers (1757-1824), the 'Nephew of the Almighty,' may be regarded as its first modern apostle." The dubious career of Brothers is further detailed in the article "Anglo-lsraelitism" in the Encyclopedia I of Religion and Ethics, edited by James Hastings, published in 1908 and still the standard reference work in its field: "According to his \ account he was a Divinely appointed prophet. He described himself as a 'nephew of the Almighty,' and claimed descent from David. Among his prophecies were those of the imminent restoration of Israel to the Holy Land, and the elevation of himself as prince of the Hebrews and ruler of the world. Brothers was confined as a lunatic, \ but succeeded in obtaining many admirers..." Hastings next\ enumerated several good reasons why the theory is false.
British-Israel theorists, in the absence of sound evidence for their theory, have nonetheless persisted in demanding that it be accepted as a matter of faith. Surely this is a faith that recalls Tertullian's Credo quia absurdum because it defies all common sense. To see this, one need only ask how the Ten Lost Tribes could have wended their way from Israel all the way to the British Isles, a part of Europe that is far removed from Israel, without encountering the outraged resistance of people met along the way. How could they have subdued all those Celts and Teutons who were then occupying central and western Europe as their descendants do today?
The most recent generation of British-Israelites, who may have been troubled by this question in addition to seeking a wider potential audience, has come forth with a more extensive species of nonsense which they call "Identity." This fantasy equates Israel with all Europeans. The major objection to this revised theory, the fact that Celts and Teutons lived in Europe long before 721 B.C.E., is conveniently ignored.
The Celts not only lived in Europe around 1 000 B.C.E., but also quite possibly had colonized portions of what is now New England. This is the thesis advanced by Barry Fell, an Australian biologist at Harvard, in his recently published book America B.C. Fell, an ex- pert in Celtic languages and archaeology, has deciphered numerous rock carvings, mostly writings in the old Celtic ogam alphabet, which suggest that America was what the Celts call largalon, the land of the setting sun.
Even if Fell's theory is not accepted, however, the fact remains that Europe was the homeland of the Celts and Teutons long before the ten tribes were carried off from Israel. The amount of archaeological evidence that supports this statement would suffice to bury all "Identity" enthusiasts up to their eyebrows. However, this would be a pointless effort for they are the same kind of people as those who told T.H. Huxley that Satan invented fossils to tempt us to believe that the earth existed before 4004 B.C.E., the year which the great Anglican Archbishop Ussher had established as the beginning of Creation. Such people simply refuse to accept the evidence of their senses; it is too boring or painful for them.
Another serious objection to the "Identity" foolishness also meets with silence. This is the fact that European languages have no linguistic affinity with Hebrew. British-Israel fanatics have argued that Saxon is derived from "Isaac's sons." Actually, Saxon is deriv- ed from the Old
English seax, a knife or dagger, which is akin to the Old High German sahs, a rock or stone. It is also a fact that Anglo-Saxon, a dialect of Old West Germanic, is so closely related to Old High German that a student who reads Beowulf, oldest poem in English literature, may with little more instruction also read the Hildebrandslied, the oldest poem in German literature. Furthermore, not only all Teutonic languages, but also all other European languages together with Sanskrit may be traced back to one primal Indo-European or Aryan language. The Oxford English Dictionary gives an etymology going back to Aryan roots for thousands of words in English. However, no Indo-European tongues can be traced back to Hebrew or any other Semitic language. We people of European descent have a unique linguistic heritage and, consequently, a unique mentality, a fact we may forget at our peril!
British-Israel would be simply silly if it were not also pernicious. One sentence from the Britannica article cited before offers words of warning that should be sufficient for the wise: 'The theory, still held by over 2,000,000 people, materially assisted the settlement of Jews in England in the seventeenth century." The Jews, many of them usurers of course, had first entered England immediately after the Norman conquest in 1 066, and were then expelled by decree of Ed- ward I in 1 290. Their usury, graphically described in Carlyle's Past and Present as well as Macaulay's History of England, was the major factor in their expulsion. Not surprisingly, the period following their expulsion was one during which England prospered and became the world's foremost power. The Elizabethan age needs little mention, but one fact is particularly salient as evidence of the prosperity enjoyed during this Judenfrei period: The real wages of the English workers did not again attain the level they had reached in 1500 until 1900! This is noted by economist Robert Heilbroner in his The Making of Economic Society (New York: 1962, P. 30). British-Israel's contribution to the re-entry of the Jews was an effort on behalf of the British people's undoing.
Some of the worst excesses of the industrial revolution in Britain were not unrelated to the readmission of the Jews. Many of the leading capitalists of Manchester were Sephardic Jews. Among them was Ricardo, a theorist of capitalism who was praised by Marx because he described the economic process without reference to ethical considerations, i.e., "bourgeois ideology." Another Jewish political economist and capitalist of Manchester was Nassau Senior, and it may be significant that one British-Israel tract, British Israelites and the Ten Tribes (1 885), was authored by one H. W. J. Senior.
While the Jews' Bill, legislation to grant civil rights to the Jews, met considerable opposition, philo-Semitic illusions were so cultivated in England that it was almost another century before the British became alert to the type of Jew that has been given a classic portrayal in the character of Fagin in Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist. And while the insights of Sir Richard Burton's The Jew, the Gypsy I and El Islam contributed to an increasing knowledge toward the end of the nineteenth century, this work's salutary effect counted for little against the romanticized Zionism that was extolled in novels such as George Elliot s Daniel Deronda. In fact, the impact of British-Israel extends to the Balfour Declaration and modern-day Israel itself.
Some advocates of "Identity" argue that they do not aid Zionism, rather combat it because they differentiate between the "true" Israelites, the supposedly European descendants of the ten tribes, and the Jews, descendants of Judah. The fact is, however, that there are fewer differences between Israelites and Judaeans than there are between Prussians and Bavarians, Scotchmen and Englishmen, or Romans and Sicilians. The division between the northern and southern kingdoms, Israel and Judah, meant no more than, for example, the present-day division between North Dakota and South Dakota. It is likely that not even followers of "Identity" really believe in this specious distinction.
Most advocates of British-Israel, including the Worldwide Church of God, do not distinguish between Israelites and Jews, and continually urge their followers, mostly Americans of British descent, to support Zionist Israel. In this regard, they differ little from other bird-brained Bible- bangers, such as Billy Hargis and Billy Graham, who also admonish their followers to support Israel, advocate the admission to the U. S. of millions of Asiatic "refugees," and do whatever else they can to undermine and ultimately destroy this nation.
Fundamentalists in general - and British-Israel is merely an outgrowth of fundamentalism - have had an unrealistic image of the Jew and have accepted as literal fact the fanciful history of the Jews presented in the Old Testament. This gullibility arises from at least two factors, one geographical and one historical.
Geographically considered, most British-Americans were the first numerous element of the American populace to separate itself from the Old World. In their new wilderness homes, bereft of European cultural influences, they often had only the Bible for reading matter. Naturally, the outlandish Old Testament narratives appealed to their imaginations, and they attempted to find analogues for them in their daily experiences. After the Puritans, for example, gave up on converting the Indians, they came to regard them as hopelessly heathen Canaanites who were to be slain and have their lands occupied. The New England Abolitionists, John Brown most notoriously, tended to identify themselves with the prophets of the Old Testament, a fancy that may partly account for the overnight success of Julia Ward Howe's "Battle-Hymn of the Republic."
Awakened by the influx of eastern European immigrants, a number of prominent British-Americans did, nonetheless, become alert to the reality that is Judah. Particularly noteworthy are the following: Hawthorn, U. S. Grant, Clements, James Russell, Lowell, Henry James, Henry Adams, John Jay Chapman, Edison, Ford, Madison Grant, Lothrop Stoddard, T. S. Elliot, Ezra Pound, and Ernest Hemingway.
Most British-Americans, especially the fundamentalists among them, remained, however, in the geographical and cultural backlands. Such Anglo-Saxons lost in a wilderness of ignorance should be the first objects of the missionary efforts of those who have become enlightened to the depredations of the two tribes which did not vanish with the Assyrians.
The magnitude of this task is only exceeded by its urgency.
We want more problem solvers, not more hand-wringers.
Rights are something that are not granted, but taken by those who are capable. Nature has endowed us with the means to become the natural heirs to Planet Earth.
Before the White Race can ever organize a steamroller movement of any kind it has to polarize around a racial religious core. Creativity is the Answer.
