AUTHOR’S NOTE:
THIS POEM is really two poems by two authors.
The first part was sent to me by an aspiring new poet named Däanlea, whose work really deserves to be published in print one day.
The second part is my response.
This piece begins in a personal vein, and ends with an extension of the personal into the infinite.
We conscious and unconscious beings are all on a journey together. I hope this poem helps the reader capture some sense of that.
Sir Charles Galton Darwin (grandson of Charles Darwin), who helped direct the Manhattan Project, saw eugenics as a logical outgrowth of evolutionary science and as the only way to better the human condition.
by Kevin Alfred Strom
I WAS INTRIGUED and then pleased and then astounded as I listened to National Public Radio yesterday morning. As soon as I switched on my Boston Acoustics radio, I heard the resonant, engaging, elegant, and intelligent words of Charles Galton Darwin — Charles Darwin’s grandson and Francis Galton’s godson and a distinguished scientist in his own right — reading a radio essay that he had recorded in 1953. Amazingly, though he openly stated that improvements in the lot of mankind could only be achieved through a eugenic application of the principle of heredity, there was no negative commentary from the “NPR Weekend Edition Sunday” program host, Liane Hansen. The Opponent will at least be writing angry letters over this; so we ought to tell NPR how appreciative we are to hear an alternative point of view amidst the sea of modern equalitarianism.
Charles Galton Darwin had a long scientific career, including being Managing Director of Britain’s National Physical Laboratory before and during World War II, President of the Physical Society from 1941 to 1944, President of the Eugenics Society from 1953 to 1959, and, near the end of his life in the early 1960s, Advisory Editor of the still-published Mankind Quarterly. He was also a major figure in the Manhattan Project. Here’s what he had to say:
by Kevin Alfred Strom (American Dissident Voices radio program, October 5, 1992)
TODAY I WILL step back from the minutiae of social and political issues, and attempt to answer what are really the ultimate questions. Why should we or anyone else make sacrifices for our nation or our race? Why is it important for our race to survive? What is our basis for saying that some acts are right and good and others are wrong?
I can think of no better way to introduce this subject than with an essay written by Mr. Martin Kerr entitled, “White and Proud”:
THANKS TO EU TIMES: My thanks go out to the European Union Times, which -- alone among important media outlets -- spoke out for justice throughout my travails, telling both sides of the story in their news reporting and calling for my release in editorials. They stated "Kevin Alfred Strom is innocent," saying of me that "he dedicated his life to fighting against pornography, child pornography, rape, murder... How could they even accuse him of such nonsense?" In another editorial they wrote: "Kevin Alfred Strom has a family and he has children... He dedicated his life to fighting against globalization, child porn, sex slavery, drugs..." and that the accusations against me were "inventions of severely damaged and evil brains."
POLITICAL PROSECUTION: At the urging of the Joint Terrorism Task Force, European-American activist and writer Kevin Alfred Strom is (wrongfully) convicted of possessing eight images of child pornography, based on the testimony of a perjurer who was having a relationship with the JTTF "investigating officer." Kevin Strom is sentenced to 23 months in prison, most of that in brutal solitary confinement. He is placed under supervision for 15 years. Contrast that with the case of Korean-American "youth leader" Timothy Han of Miracleland Korean Baptist Church, who was convicted of actually having sex with a child. Han was sentenced to 45 days in jail and 45 days in a work-release program.
MY WORK CITED: I'm pleased to note that my essay on the arrest and prosecution of "Russian" oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky, "The Khodorkovsky Affair," has been cited in The Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law.
GANDHI ARTICLE REPRINTED: My essay on the racial-nationalist views of Mahatma Gandhi has just been republished by Britain's Historical Review Press. It's quite an honor to be published alongside such luminaries as H.L. Mencken and Thomas Jefferson.
MY ART SITE RECOGNIZED: My online art gallery -- to which I've added quite a bit of content over the last month -- has been recognized as being in "impeccable taste" by Leslie H. Higgins, the paleoconservative operator of The Young and Once Good Pundit. Mr. Higgins nevertheless characterizes me as "problematic" and as a "right-winger," the latter being certainly untrue no matter what you think on the former count. But I don't mind. Taste, Art, and Beauty matter and will last as long as the race. The political labels of the moment, decade, or century do not and will not.
BENJAMIN FREEDMAN SPEECH REPUBLISHED: The Madrid-based Spanish-language site Qbitacora has an English-language annex which has just republished Benjamin H. Freedman's revelatory speech on Zionism, A Jewish Defector Warns America. Thanks to the folks at Qbit for spreading the word about Freedman's important work!
PERJURER EXPOSED AGAIN: Evidence is mounting that Elisha Strom, the woman whose perjured testimony and work with the so-called Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) caused false federal charges to be filed against me, had several inappropriate relationships with the local and "terrorism task force" officers she was at first working with -- and then turned against, causing her to be arrested for stalking them, harassing them, and interfering with them. Both she and the JTTF avoided a trial full of revelations of their respective characters when a plea agreement was struck in which she plead guilty to two counts of obstruction of justice.
ART GALLERY RECOGNIZED: The Spanish-language art blog Aquí gobierno yo has added my art gallery to its list of recommended art sites. It's quite an honor to be linked side-by-side with the Fitzwilliam Museum, the National Galleries of Scotland, and others.
PERPETUAL GROWTH IS IMPOSSIBLE: We've all heard the story of the clever merchant who asked the King to pay him with grains of wheat placed on a chessboard. On the first square he was to receive one grain; on the second, two grains; on the third, four grains -- doubling with every square up to the 64th. The King readily agreed to pay such a small sum; How much could it add up to in just 63 doublings, after all? The answer is that more grain than exists in the entire world would have to be placed on the 64th square. That is "the magic of compound interest" and it is 1) the reason that perpetual economic growth is impossible and 2) the reason that economies based on the creation of money as interest-bearing debt (read: all modern economies) inevitably go into crisis and fail.
The maverick Jewish writer Israel Shamir has just published Tom White's extensive treatment of the subject which is well worth reading.
REVILO OLIVER RECOGNIZED: The well-known commentator for the Spectator newspaper in Britain, Taki Theodoracopulos, has just published an essay in his online magazine which, at least tentatively and partially, attempts to restore the place of the great and Menckenesque writer Revilo P. Oliver in the pantheon of 20th century thinkers. Interestingly, the article is published over the byline "Nesta Bevan," an obvious nom de guerre, since it is the maiden name of the late writer and partisan of our civilization Nesta Webster.
