Description

The author of this book is a person who was raised under the auspices of an orphanage and at the age of 15 was asked to leave. Not because of nefarious deeds but because the orphanage, The Edwin Gould Foundation, was going broke. As orphanages go this was probably one of the finest. A fact I attribute to my father's intellect. When we would go play other orphanages in basketball or baseball there was always some guys who would beg us to take them back with us. Unfortunately WW II took a heavy toll on the finances of Gould, as we used to call it, proudly I may add and it finally had to close down putting me basically out on the street. Of course, the depression didn't help matters any too much either. But before I hit the street [I attended four days of school in my freshman year] and only(just) passed science. I was saved from the streets of New York by being sent way up north to a place called Barker, N.Y. ( twenty six miles east of Niagara falls). Our coldest winter was 54 degrees below zero and we slept in the gym and assembly for that night. I mention this because Govcom to this very day insists I was a privileged White American Male (WAM). The truth of the matter is for good part of my life I was poorer than those underprivileged people I have heard about for the past 45 years. The truth of the matter was I had to work my way through high school; none of which was very enlightening and got both of my degrees at night school! Yet, people of my family have been discriminated against by the laws of Govcom (Government community). When I stop to think about it I am amazed at the discrimination because in the wheels of this society my family is, for all practical purposes, a non entity! I am sure this was the mind set of Kennedy and Johnson when they wrote their executive orders saying THERE SHALL BE NO DISCRIMINATION in America. These edicts are better known as Affirmative Action, but if you read them just once you are compelled to conclude they are in fact telling you and me that it is A OK to discriminate against White American Males. Now the real rub is Govcom won't obey its own edicts. Let me give you an example. A while back there was a WAM government employee who's territory was traveling into the hinterlands of Montana. During his interviews he would ask for the territory near Tacoma, Washington. They said fine; it would be coming up. Well, lo and behold all of a sudden he discovers (they never told him what was happening) some Nero woman gets the territory. He inquired; he was told it was because this Nigger woman had a child(don't they all)and was a single mother. She had less than half the time with the Govcom engineers, and she had just transferred in from Washington D.C.! Now where in the hell does it say in the tenets of Affirmative Action a minority gets her choice because she has a child?! I talk at length about AA inside. Incidentally, that WAM was my brother and not incidentally he was a hero in WW II; saved as man's life on the carrier Bismarck Sea. He died; never getting a territory near home. There were other members of my family who were the victims of AA as well as myself; we are nobodies!! Got it? Who are THE DAMNED? The White American Male (WAM). He has been disenfranchised from his own society. A society that has had the highest standard of living in the history of the world. In fact many WAMs gave their lives to help preserve that standard of living. In WW II 99 percent of those killed were WAMs! Who disenfranchised him? The American Wlib movement with the tremendous help from THE ESTABLISHMENT; in fact they would never have pulled off their movement to deconstruct America without the harmonic assistance from THE ESTABLISHMENT. What or who is THE ESTSBLISHMENT? The establishment is made up of three communities; MEDIA COMMUNITY Mediacom), GOV COMMUNITY (Govcom)and ED COMMUNITY (Edcom. Each of these communities is so large they actually can be an e
