Walter F Mueller vs The Birdman - Part 1

To go to Part 2 CLICK HERE

Several days ago Walter Mueller put out a letter to his 'Patriot Letter' 
mailing list in which he advocated that pro-whites needed to unite and 
focus their energies on a single issue, namely, their opposition to Jews.  
Birdman reproduced this letter on his website, but commented negatively 
about Mueller's social skills.  This resulted in the cascade of 
correspondence reproduced below, including a defense of the Birdman by Mark 
F.  Two significant features of this correspondence are Birdman's defense 
of Willis Carto against charges made by the late Prof Revilo Oliver, and 
the fact that Mueller shows himself to be a coward and a liar, and a not-
very-bright one at that.

 Subject:    Re: Patriot Letter: Call to Action - Mark Weber chimes in - 
Revisionists respond 

Walter:

The good news is that your ideas of uniting in activism on the single most 
important issue -- Foreskinners -- is an important one, and that's why I 
posted your original email on my Daily Reads page. 

The bad news is that you are cultivating divisiveness in the very act of 
calling for unity.  Here are the particulars: 

* You say the following of me:

>John Byrant, or "The Birdman" as he calls himself, has
>posted the call for action on his web. I've been on
>his website several times and it is nothing I really
>care for, however, the big plus, he is a big freedom
>of speech supporter. He thinks that I am "no Moses to
>lead the people across the ocean", because once he
>wrote me an e-mail and I didn't respond. Huuuuh! How
>kleinkariert. 

The implication here is that I make myself out to be an idiot by saying you 
are unfit to lead because you didn't answer an email of mine.  But in fact 
I said something rather different, namely, this: 

"Your letter is provocative and I will post it on my Daily Reads page 
tomorrow. One of the big problems whites seem to have is working together, 
while Jews seem to do a much better job. I bring this up because I wrote 
you a friendly letter few weeks ago but received no response. What that 
tells me is that you are not big on social skills -- but of course, as I 
just said, you aren't alone. Which means you will probably not be the Moses 
that leads us to the Promised Land. But for all that, your letter deserves 
to be read." 

I do not know whether your rendition of what I said was an intentional 
effort to make me look like an idiot (from your remarks, you evidently find 
my website offensive, which suggests such intent) or whether it was just a 
just a misunderstanding (kindly note that I could have called you stupid, 
but did not); but should it be the latter, let me spell it out: 

A movement cannot be led by people who go around making other people -- and 
particularly the major players -- feel bad.  In fact, a movement cannot 
even EXIST if the people -- whether leaders or not -- go around making 
others feel bad.  This is a major failing of the pro-white movement -- an 
assertion which was in my original statement to you.  The point is that, 
until people start to read, mark, learn and inwardly digest Dale Carnegie's 
little book How to Win Friends and Influence People, or something 
equivalent, this movement is going nowhere.  

* Besides the spitball you launched at me, the badmouthing of Willis Carto 
is yet another case in point -- something which you permitted your 'hero' 
Mark Weber to do at length in your second communique.  But badmouthing 
Carto is not merely divisive -- it is also completely unjust.  I am not 
going to go into any of the material your 'hero' Mark discussed; rather I 
will point out three indisputable facts which make clear that Carto is 
essentially in the right. 

(1) On numerous occasions Carto published detailed damning allegations of 
the IHR people in the Spotlight, yet these allegations were NEVER answered 
by Weber or anyone else in the IHR Journal -- an organ read by many 
Spotlight subscribers.  That says to me pretty plainly that Weber et al 
COULDN'T answer the allegations, and that therefore Carto was right. 

(2) Carto created the IHR and made it into a powerhouse of revisionism.  
Morally, therefore, the Edison money was his -- and most likely legally, 
also. 

(3) Since Weber & Co's successful takeover of the IHR, this institution has 
become a joke.  This, in conjunction with the various allegations about 
Weber & Co's connections to Scientology, the Foreskinner takeover of 
Scientology, and the sudden approval of tax exemption for Scientology by a 
Jewish IRS commissioner at the time of the IHR takeover, makes it likely in 
my view that Carto was right in alleging that this takeover was an 
essentially Jewish effort to hobble and denature the  IHR.  This is not to 
say that the people who have supported the IHR takeover -- including Weber 
himself -- understand the true nature of the takeover.  Nor is it to cast 
aspersions on the character of Weber & Co's supporters, since that support 
may spring from Carto's attempt to turn the IHR Journal into a publication 
of broader scope -- what the Barnes Review is today.  (For example, 
Faurisson, Butz and other revisionist scholars were naturally upset to see 
'their' journal begin to focus on something other than what they have 
devoted an important part of their lives to.)  Nor is it to deny that Weber 
himself is a good revisionist -- he has written some excellent things which 
I have posted on my site, and his performance in the Shermer debate was 
admirable.  But the most likely explanation in my mind is that the IHR 
takeover was a Foreskinner coup.  

The bottom line on the above points is follows: Carto was right, both 
pragmatically (with the success of the Barnes Review and the collapse of 
the IHR) and morally.  To this I would add that no one has done more in 
terms of exposing Jewish misbehavior and getting this information out to 
the public than Carto.  (For those, like Weber, who claim that Carto has 
never given an account of the millions which have passed thru his hands, 
etc, I can only say this: (a) The success of his work is his 'account'; (b) 
his success is invaluable and could never have been bought; and (c) if he 
kept some money for himself, I think we can count it as money well spent.  
The situation reminds me of Lincoln's response to allegations that Grant 
was a drunk: "Well, tell me what brand he drinks and I'll send a barrel to 
each of my other generals.") We all owe Willis Carto a tremendous debt.  
This is not to say that he has not made mistakes, or sometimes behaved 
improperly himself.  But it is to say that, when it comes to the Jewish 
Question -- the issue which you say we must unite on -- then Carto comes 
out looking like the Indispensable Man.  So if you choose to badmouth him 
and make Mark Weber your 'hero', then it seems clear you are going in a 
direction exactly the opposite of which you claim to be going. 

I am going to post this on my website.  I hope you will include this letter 
in the upcoming post to your mailing list -- I'd just like to know that 
truth is back in business.
