World War II set the racial and eugenic sciences back by half a century at least. People are confused about the proper labels to use because their is no scientific body standardizing racial classifications.

This article is about a black man who gets close to members of the Aryan Brotherhood. On the main website it is written by Anonymous. This is approximately what that page looks like:



However, on Firefox for Android, a web browser for your phone, there's a way to read articles called "Reader Mode". This mode takes away all the unnecessary clutter and gives you only the article. While reading this article, I switched into Reader Mode and noticed something funny:



The article wasn't written by Anonymous anymore. It was written by Christine Pelisek. While Christine Pelisek may have interviewed an anonymous prisoner, the article makes no mention of this fact at the time of this post. That's the best case scenario. The worst case is that there is no anonymous prisoner- Christine Pelisek wrote the article as a piece of blatant propaganda against the Aryan Brotherhood, and some bad website code gave her away. I'll leave the probability up to you.

Neither would surprise me.

Rather, it hasn't ended. Hale's arrest almost destroyed Creativity, but at the same time reinforced the independence of individual congregations. Because Hale took the Leadership Principle to it's extreme, the government was able to use a technique called "decapitation" to literally remove the head of the church and consequently destroy the church body.

Founder Klassen thought Creativity should be organized around the Primary Group- six to ten individuals who trust each other and meet regularly for organization and activism. This structure is almost impossible to destroy. We of the Creativity Alliance have returned to this structure, in which the Pontifex Maximus and Guardians of the Faith committee ensure the doctrinal soundness of those under them but otherwise leave the Primary Groups to their own functions.

This approach makes the Creed, rather than an individual Pontifex, the glue that holds Creators together. If the worst happens and a Pontifex is removed from office, it is not devastating to the congregations under him. The individual is temporary, but our race lives forever.

[Wovoka's vision entailed the resurrection of the Paiute dead and the removal of whites and their works from North America.]

Perhaps this post is more appropriate for West Victory Day, but December 29th is still many months away.

While reading about the final battle of the American Indian Wars, I discovered that tensions were partially to blame on a single indian named Wovoka. According to Wikipedia:

Wovoka claimed to have had a prophetic vision during the solar eclipse on January 1, 1889. Wovoka's vision entailed the resurrection of the Paiute dead and the removal of whites and their works from North America. Wovoka taught that in order to bring this vision to pass the Native Americans must live righteously and perform a traditional round dance, known as the Ghost dance, in a series of five-day gatherings.

While Wovoka instinctively followed nature's plan of segregation and war between the species, his method of executing that plan was inferior to the method of the White people they fought against. The two opposing sides had fundamentally the same vision: the removal of their enemies and populating the continent exclusively with their own people. Wovoka, however, relied on myth and superstition to reclaim North America for the indians. Whites believed that one should be proactive in seizing the land that already belonged to them. Wovoka's Ghost Dance fell to Manifest Destiny, and the Paiute indians have never recovered.

The moral of this story: Following superstition will result in ruin. Instead, take hold of the physical world that is already rightfully ours.

Macro,

You seem very interested in Reverend Hale's imprisonment. Is there anything in particular you'd like to know. What do you know of it so far?

As for the copyright status of our holy books, symbols, etc., the books remain under copyright. The symbols, as far as I know, were never copyrighted, with one exception after Hale was imprisoned. Can you be more specific? What do you mean by "Creativity entered the public domain"?
