Today in History

[Will Williams]

From National Vanguard - 27 August, 2022:


[27 August] 1965: Dr. James Gant, head of the International Lunar Society, tells assembled scientists and government officials at the International Lunar Geological Field Conference in Bend, Oregon that the lunar surface will be able to support human-bearing spacecraft, paving the way for the Apollo moon landing four years later. Dr. Gant later became a friend of Dr. William Pierce and was a lifelong member of the National Alliance. Upon his death, he bequeathed his substantial library to the Alliance.
---

I highlight that sentence to remind NA members that we still own Dr. Gant's collection and other valable collections that were donated to Dr. Pierce's library, before and since his death. They will be incorporated into the William Luther Pierce Memorial Library and Research Center now being built at our National Office in Upper East Tennesseee.

I'm looking forward to seeing that library next year. Also, meeting everyone personally as well. I really want to see Dr. Pierce's hand-written notes too. I could spend the entire day in there.

I just noticed National Vanguard's daily feature for today, 23 October, 2014:

Today in History

2014: After working for years to advance Dr. William Pierce's Cosmotheist principles, William White Williams is officially named Chairman of the National Alliance.
---

It has been a challenging yet rewarding eight years since that morning when I was named to NA's board of directors, then tapped by the board to be the new Chairman -- actually 24 October, 2014.

The board meeting was held in my motel room in Gloucester, VA, just an hour before we entered the courtroom where my first order of business was to defend our Alliance against the $2 million dollar lawsuit that had been brought against our organization by a half dozen disgruntled co-plaintiffs, all six of them former NA members. That turned out to be the first of three judicial coup attempts to take over what was left of the Alliance for themselves. Where are those six co-plaintiffs these days?

The Jewish Southern Poverty Law Center hate group, with its half-billion-dollar war chest to destroy anything pro-White, was in that courtroom that day, hoping to record the end of our Alliance that it had been vowing to destroy for years: https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate ... iumph-will

Where is the SPLC these days?

Where is the SPLC these days?

Vainly trying to scratch their way out of history's trashcan.

I was watching a Bitchute video recently, and some guy was in front of the camera talking about how bad we need leaders. Basically he was asking, "Where are all the leaders?" He was going on and on about it.

I asked myself which planet this guy was living on...

It's kind of funny - or perhaps, sad - how certain White Nationalists will cry about how much we need leaders, but they won't step up to be a leader themselves. Being a leader means, partly, doing hard, but necessary work and making tough decisions, and they don't want to do this.

But, then when someone steps up to take the role, those ones won't follow him because they don't want to submit to the will of a higher authority. They will praise Adolf Hitler and parrot some fancy phrases they heard about the Leadership Principle, but when it comes time to put it into action they run as fast as they can in the other direction. Hitler described this problem of petty minds in Mein Kampf.

I think a lot of these people misunderstand what a good leader is. They are looking for somebody who will take to the streets and wave some flags around or run for a political office which he has zero chance of winning, and because they aren't too bright or experienced they don't have the ability to recognize the value in quiet, but infinitely more productive work.

Chairman Williams, you have set an excellent example in many ways. You can be hard and gruff at times, which may scare away some of the softer types, but for those of us with eyes to see, it is plain that you are a top-notch business handler and precisely the leader which the Alliance needs at this critical time.

By following the strategy passed down to us by Dr. Pierce, the Alliance is building a solid core of dedicated individuals who have what it takes to carry it into the future. That is good leadership.

And at the end of the day, every Alliance man and woman is a leader in one way or another. We understand the critical situation our race faces and we have stepped up to do something about it, even if it's only paying our monthly dues. We can do more of course: we can always do more. But, doing SOMETHING is better than doing NOTHING.

Chairman, you and the others who helped reconstitute the Alliance have given us the opportunity to do more for our race than we could have done on our own. That counts for everything.

Hard & gruff, RC? That must explain why more White men and women don't join our Alliance with its 50-plus years of leading our race out of the darkness. I thought maybe it is just their moral cowardice. Maybe I should try to be softer and gentler so people will like me and not be afred to join with us?

In 1968 I was a 20-year-old Green Beret lieutenant on my first tour in Vietnam. Softer and gentler I wasn't; being hard and persevering served me well later in life. I wish now I'd have met Dr. Pierce back then instead of 23 years later.

TODAY IN HISTORY (15 November 2022)

1968: The National Youth Alliance, predecessor to the National Alliance, is founded at a meeting organized by Willis Carto at the Army and Navy Club in Washington, DC. Initially, Louis Byers and Dr. William Pierce (pictured) would lead the organization, with the assistance of Dr. Revilo P. Oliver. In 1970, Dr. Pierce would totally reorganize and reorient the organization, which he would head until his death in 2002.

I've always done much better around people who are "hard and gruff." Actually, throughout my life quite a few people have also described me as not only being "hard and gruff" but having more than "just a bit of a hard edge." I have never done well around pussified, mealy-mouthed wimps and spineless twerps who are the epitome of "people pleasers"--they'll tell every person with whom they come into contact exactly what they think other person wants to hear in a futile effort to become a friend to everyone and an enemy of no one. People pleasers never seem to learn that their fruitless attempts at pleasing everyone is a turn off to EVERYONE. But they just keep trying--just keep beating their proverbial heads against the wall--and they continue to fail.

While I've softened a bit over the years--life does have its way of teaching people who are willing to learn the cold, hard facts about surviving in this "barren wilderness" of a multicultural society that was formerly known as "America"--I've still retained what I call "the fire in the belly." Call it what you will: "hard and gruff"; type A personality; fire in the belly; the insatiable will to win; a dominant personality; and there are countless other terms I could assign to the character attributes of being "hard and gruff"; but in studying history one learns that oftentimes it was the people who asserted their will that achieved the ultimate victory.

For the White Nationalist movement to attain all its goals and objectives--and especially our terminal goal of vanquishing our enemies and living in the healthy, sane, intelligent, safe, and respectable White society we envision--it is going to take a large number of White warriors who carry the assertive personality attributes that are sometimes considered "hard and gruff." It cannot be the other way; the antithesis of "hard and gruff" carries with it the high probability of failure, and that we cannot tolerate. Not ever!

From a woman's perspective, I appreciate it when a man takes the lead and handles business. True men are built in a amazing way, to protect and provide for their families and communities. Those men deserve the utmost respect and admiration.

It is a admirable trait when men take the lead, they should be commended. Women and children feel safe and cared for with proper heads of the house. Family units are so much stronger and so is the community when there are good leaders around.

I also believe "hard and gruff" as it was described is necessary for us. After all, strong leadership requires a commanding presence. If someone wants their ears tickled they can go somewhere else. This organization is about quality capable Whites.

This daily feature on NationalVanguard.org is not archived there so can't be searched for later. Perhaps we can have an Alliance member volunteer to archive these daily "Today in History" pieces here on WB in a manner so they can at least then be preserved and archived here. Anyone? It's an easy task for one who has a computer and a few minutes each day to do a cut & paste.

I had never heard of this murder of Walter Liggett until today. Now his name can be searched and found here at WB.

TODAY IN HISTORY

Walter Liggett

[9 December]1935: In Minneapolis, Minnesota, investigative journalist Walter Liggett is machine-gunned to death in front of his wife in an alley behind his home by Jewish organized crime boss (and Meyer Lansky associate) Isadore Blumenfield. Liggett had been publishing exposés of Blumenfield's control and corruption of Minnesota politics, especially of the Farmer-Labor Party which Liggett and Charles Lindbergh, Sr. had helped to found two decades earlier. The Jewish gang attempted to frame Liggett on sex crime charges when bribes didn't work, then threatened him with death if he didn't stop publishing his articles. The corrupt courts failed to convict Blumenfield, despite decisive evidence showing that he was Liggett's murderer.

Here's another from the other day that would be lost had I not still had it open from last week:

TODAY IN HISTORY

Werner Heisenberg

1901: Werner Heisenberg, the great German physicist and pioneer of quantum mechanics, discoverer of what is now called the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, is born in Würzburg, Germany. After clashes with government officials which were eventually resolved, he would work on atomic power and weapons research for National Socialist Germany. In 1944 a US spy, a Jew named Moe Berg, was sent to murder Heisenberg at a lecture in Zurich but failed to do so, the cover story now given being that Germany's research had not progressed enough to make the murder "necessary."
