Save High Plains Populism!

Save High Plains Populism!

For many years, under the moniker Col. B. Bunny, a very intelligent, witty fellow wrote a blog called Intergalactic Source of Truth. He used as his photo id a picture of Descartes, I believe.

“A blog about islamic intolerance and fanaticism; socialism; communism; government stupidity; and lying weasels everywhere, hopefully couched in vibrant and literate English and foreign words that make us look good.”

The good colonel would occasionally link to, and comment at this blog, and versa vice. Ditto with other blogs. But then google killed off his blog. I wrote him in march, and learned that he was never hearing from anyone. No comments.

What happened? Apparently, google shadow-banned him. It has periodically done the same to me, but somehow, over the past two years and change, either I have been getting more and more daily hits (presumably via people linking to me), or I’m bot-bait.

If you go to Intergalactic Source of Truth now, it appears that it’s been stolen, as there is an item out of chronological order that bears no relation to his topics of interest:

“seal for diverter motor in kitchenaid dishwasher model KDTE 404DSP0”
“This post is about fashioning your own seal for the shaft of a dishwasher. These part numbers for the diverter motor will help you find useful information that is available on the PartSelect website and that of any other parts suppliers:...”

The good colonel started up a new blog, high plains populism. I wrote up the title of this item in late march as a draft, but it “disappeared.” Two months later, I found it buried in a “drafts” folder.

Typically, when I run out of time to write and post an item (or I missed my 12 midnight deadline), I’ll mark it “draft,” and it will sit at the top of my item list. The next day, I’ll see it, switch it to “post,” and it will publish.

However, google staffers like to make mischief with this blog. One way is by burying items (some of them already posted) in the “draft” folder; another is by burying published items in their new “trashed” folder. They have done this to an item on alopecia, a few items on studies showing that the clot shot reduces women’s fertility, and to an article from 2012 on election-rigging (re The Big Steal).

I am hoping that if some of you comment at High Plains Populism, it will encourage the author to pick up his pen again.

The left does not have a monopoly on such censorship. Tens of thousands of people read The State of White America-2007, for which I was the principal author, project director, and editor, for the National Policy Institute. (I have to thank Kevin Lamb for hiring me!) I wrote the introduction, and lengthy chapters on crime and education. Economist Edwin S. Rubenstein wrote the opening chapter on demographics, and historian Robert J. Stove wrote the concluding chapter on labor. However, when my boss, Louis R. Andrews, finally succumbed to the cancer that had been ravaging his body for five or six years (circa 2007, he went into remission) at the end of 2011, Louis’ corpse wasn’t even cold before newly installed NPI “director,” neo-nazi Richard Spencer, sent my little book down the memory hole.

Keep in mind, however, that Richard was just a figure-head, installed by my good friend, Peter Brimelow. What do you call a man who stuffs a neo-nazi’s pockets full of money? (Peter has a history of controlling publishing operations as a silent partner or silent owner. He also pumped money into counter-currents publishing, so as to publish a VDARE book by Kevin deAnna, alias James Kirkpatrick, alias Gregory Hood.

To those who are skeptical of my claim of individual staffers making mischief, I experienced this repeatedly at amazon, going back to the spring of 2000. Certain staffers hid my popular book and movie reviews. (Other staffers loved my stuff. My first review, of the book Our Parents’ Lives, won me a $50 gift certificate. A few years later, after the sabotage I refer to in the next graf, a staffer posted my review of Finding Nemo at the top of the page. I got several hundred upvotes. Randy Newman, who did the movie’s music, even tweeted a link to it! But then an amazon staffer deleted all but two of my upvotes.)

When I complained in 2000, the supervisor (can’t remember or find his name) who was apparently responsible for this sabotage, responded with a lie-filled letter, asserting that I had broken some imaginary rule in a single review, which was getting many upvotes (Paul Johnson’s The Quest for God), of “quoting over 150 words from outside material,” which was a lie. Besides, he hid a whole bunch of my reviews, in a secret section, reachable only by amazon staffers and me!

Until january 2008, if you punched in my name at amazon books, you’d get a bunch of hits from books whose authors cited me and my work, and the occasional false positive. The last time I checked, in late 2017, the search turned up 18 works referencing me, including two false positives. (At some point or another since the 1990s, amazon has sold over 70 works that cited me.) But an amazon staffer blocked the computer from ever citing any works that cited me.

amazon also kills books. Corey Tillerson's 2017 work, The Alt-Right: A Reference for the Far-Right Political Movement, was also “disappeared,” without a trace. I could not find it anywhere, at any price. (Tillerson had apparently mentioned me.) For over 20 years, I’ve been hearing “algorithms, algorithms, algorithms.” It ain’t the algorithms! It’s individuals committing wicked acts. As Nat Hentoff once said, the deepest human urge is not to be free, but to silence other people.

Please drop by High Plains Populism. I realize that the post there is old, but give the old buzzard a charge. google has killed off so many blogs.
