The following is a performance both funny and poignant, but you need to brace yourself, if you haven’t seen Tom T. in a while. While his mind and wit are as sharp as ever, his voice is slurred, and I don’t mean from too many drinks. It sounds like The Storyteller has had a stroke. And at 75, his voice was shot.
With that warning, you should enjoy this performance, which was filmed in such a way as to give the videotape viewer that rare feeling of intimacy that so few films of live performances convey. And ol’ Tom T. will make you laugh as much as he ever did… but keep some Kleenex handy, too.
On May 25, The Storyteller will turn 77. Raise a glass to him.

My heartfelt thanks go out to the folks at Music City Roots.
“If you build it, they will come”, a would be cryptic message from the old Kevin Costner film “A Field of dreams”, about the building of a baseball field in the middle of a corn field. After building the baseball field, they came.
ReplyDeleteWhen the Mormons sent out their message of building their own nation in the American West, circa 1840s, the nation of Deseret, a Biblical name, those of the spirit, from far and wide the world over, came; answering the call for all those of the spirit.
Should American, non-liberal whites find both their courage and moxie to forge a new, white nationalist, free enterprise Republic with limited enfranchisement, and limited federal power, the type of absolute power that corrupts absolutely, and the message is sent out far and wide, all those whites of the spirit will come.
Whites can be divided into 2 groups, the mature and the immature. It is for those who accept their personal responsibility of nature’s charge to mature, the non-liberals, that this new nation-state would be built. It would not be built for the immature whites, liberals, and their personal possessions of the immature character traits such as cowardice, selfishness, sloth, envy and others of the “Seven deadly sins” kind. In the very least, immigration should be discouraged by particular laws in a new Constitution that specifically disallows them access to power, democracy, a fully enfranchised democracy, their most necessary means to their end of ruination for all whites and the white gene pool via imposing the liberal ideology of the white man’s burden as the means to their cherished dream of a new world, one world order of globalism, socialism and democracy.
Liberals, foolishly believe this new world order will materialize their long hoped for Utopia, in reality however, it will materialize a Dystopia and further will, along the path to their false Utopia, meld our precious white gene pool to gene pools of inferior, lower IQed, more animalistic gene pools, such as the Negro sub-species gene pool.
Contrary to both liberal and Amerindian revisionist history, white Europeans, the Solutreans, were the first humans to both set foot on and conquer this new continent, and further our white relatives were here many 1,000s of years before the Mongol Amerindians of today. Today’s Amerindian ancestors came after the old world invention of the bow and arrow, arming their ancestors with the new Mesolithic technology our white relatives were not armed with as they emigrated from the Paleolithic old world, and the invention of the bow and arrow is the hallmark feature of the birth of the Mesolithic time period, circa 15,000 to 10,000 years ago.
The archeological record has found no evidence of Mongol Amerindians further back than 9,000 years ago while the archeological record for Solutreans is at least as far back as 16,900 years ago. Radio carbon dating is one of the means for dating.
Therefore, by the white liberals and Amerindians own position of the land belonging to those who arrived first, this land belongs to whites of European decent. Further, should a new nation state, conceived in white, free enterprise nationalism, and further Canadian whites being near identical to American whites, and also being relatives of the Solutreans, the new nation should be carved out of both countries.
As far as those of other gene pools are concerned, being denied enfranchisement, denied access to white tax dollars, imposed harsh penalties for transgressions of the law, miscegenation laws and other Constitutional realities, they might be more inclined to emigrate of their own free will. They can lump it or leave it, their choice, but they will understand this is our white land, our white culture, our white gene pool and we intend to protect and defend what is ours for evermore.
For our white posterity, this is our challenge to accept and triumph. Godspeed we, in this, our endeavor. Thank you.
