There are those who will rule the validity and existence of karma right out the window. As nearly as I understand it, it could boil down to "reap as ye sow". There are references to "good karma" and "bad karma" and, again, the way I take it, it is different from luck in that it is like a cloud– or a rainbow– that follows you around according to some word or deed of yours in the past. It's something that has to be dealt with, or lived with. Rather than hard results to be overcome– in the negative sense, anyway– it is something to be lived down. Real or unreal, it is something which effects the way people receive you, or don't receive you. Like an aura. Furthermore, it can be passed down through time and therefore, it is wise to take care what kind of karma one takes upon himself or bequeaths to his posterity.
No small bit of inconvenience do we labor under to this day with the story of the "Six Million". Though the number of dead has been established statistically at around a quarter of a million and though there were no "gas chambers" as such, still the whole picture of a bunch of "little Jews" being killed rather sticks in the throat of most people. No less with the Manson Family does the matter of the "Five to Die" keep cropping up, despite the fact that Manson himself had no part in those killings. Again, a houseful of minor slime-drippers and, to make matters a hundred times worse, a pregnant female to boot. When people think Hitler and Manson, these are the visions that pop into mind primarily. Such is the "karma" those of us who follow in their path have to deal with.
Personally, as a young kid just coming into the Movement and knowing nothing other than what I had been told by the liberal education system, I never at any time had a problem with the "Six Million". I admit it is strange and unusual but it never bothered me. Hitler looked good to me and I was ready to go, regardless. I was sure in my own mind that he must have had his reasons for killing all those Jews. And well do I recall the moment in the summer of 1969 when the news broke on television of the discovery of the Tate killings– months before the case was cracked and the world would hear the name of Charles Manson. Well, too, do I recall thinking to myself at that time one word: "Good". A favorite line when asked if we would condone the killing of women and children in the event of an all-out race war is one whereby I correct the language by adding, "You mean females and offspring?"
Good karma is the kind gotten by Joseph Franklin by killing mixed couples. If anybody chafes at that, we can't use them under any circumstances. Personally, I can see the use of wholesale measures plus being utterly thorough in one's task but, as I fully understand, most people still retain certain hang-ups along these lines. The word is "compunctions"; some are born with them and others are born without them. I was one of the fortunate few. But though we have thought of ourselves for many years now as purely revolutionary and esoteric, with regard to what "public relations" we do still maintain, we still have to struggle to keep matters neatly within the context most readily understood and accepted by the majority. "Reasonability". No less a man than Robert Lloyd told us a long time ago that we'd need to adopt a "missionary" approach. It hasn't been easy and it's not much fun but it does have some good effects.
Getting back to the two historic and philosophic giants who I have spoken of in this segment, as Commander Rockwell never tired of insisting upon– rightly Adolf Hitler DID NOT saddle us with any handicaps whatsoever. The problem only comes in when tiny minds attempt to measure great men and great deeds by their own inadequate standards. It of course will never fit. But if we fully understand who we are and what we want, then none of us should expect or want it to fit. If it were all very pleasant, nice and polite then, like everything else that way, it would mean NOTHING. This is the single, big reason I came to the Movement in the first place as a kid who knew nothing of the usual Right Wing background garbage through which most found their way in. I had looked around and was sick and tired of all the sugary sweet, prim and proper crap that existed around me in society and all of which added up to a big zero. Where there is real adversity, there is real substance and real worth. I wasn't disappointed.
One thing to keep in mind as we go about the struggle today in our own way, in our own time, is that hindsight is always 20/20. What really matters though is what takes place either right NOW or in the immediate future and the plain, inescapable fact is that ANY ACTION AT ALL IS BETTER THAN NONE. Beggars can't be choosers and, I assure you, we are at the moment begging for action of any kind just to break the boredom and the deadlock. Anything would be welcome.
I wrote previously in SIEGE that a little forethought is essential if we are to transform our situation from one of hand-to-mouth to one wherein we are able to actually call a few of the shots. Malice aforethought??? Does it matter much should you be unlucky enough to end up before a System court? In all truth, one is far less likely to be caught and more likely to have a much greater impact– and better karma– if he contemplates matters ahead of time in a cool and rational way. Pick and choose, time and place. It is called getting professionalized and WINNING!
