AND THE MESSAGE IS STILL TRUE.....

By William Lynch

Gentlemen, I greet you here on the bank of the James River in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and twelve. first, I shall thank you, the gentlemen of the Colony of Virginia, for bringing me here. I am here to help you with some of your problems with slaves. Your invitation reached me on my modest plantation in the West Indies where I have experimented with some of the newest and still the oldest methods of control of slaves. Ancient Rome would envy us if my program is implemented. As our boat sailed south on the James River, named for our illustrious king, whose version of the Bible we cherish, I saw enough to know that your problem is not unique. While Rome used cords of wood as crosses for handing human bodies along its old highways in great numbers you are here using the tree and the rope on occasion.

I caught the whiff of a dead slave hanging from a tree a couple of miles back. You are not only losing valuable stock by hangings you are having uprisings, slaves are running away, young crops are sometimes left in the fields too long for maximum profit, you suffer occasional fires, your animals are killed. Gentlemen, you know what your problems are; I don't need to elaborate. I am not here to enumerate your problems. I am here to introduce you to a method of solving them.

In my bag here, I have a fool proof method for controlling your black slaves. I guarantee everyone of you that if installed correctly it will control the slaves for at least 300 years. My method is simple. Any member of your family or your overseer can use it.

I have outlined a number of differences among the slaves; and I take these differences and make them bigger. I use fear, distrust, and envy for control purposes.

These methods have worked on my modest plantation in the West Indies and will work throughout the South. Take this simple little list of differences, and think about them. On top of my list is "Age" but it is there only because it starts with an "A"; the second is "Color" or shade, there is intelligence, size, sex, size of plantains, status on plantation, attitude of owners, whether the slaves live in the valley, or on a hill, East, West, North, South, have fine hair, or coarse hair, or is tall or is short. Now that you have a list of differences, I shall give you an outline of action - but before that I shall assure you that distrust is stronger than trust, and envy is stronger than adulation, respect, or admiration.

The Black slave after receiving this indoctrination shall carry on and will become self re-fueling and self generating for hundreds of years, maybe thousands.

Don't forget you must pitch the old Black vs. the young Black male, and the young Black male against the old Black male. You must use the dark skin slaves vs. the light skin slaves. You must use the female vs. the male, and the male vs. the female, you must also have your white servants and overseers distrust all Blacks, but it is necessary that your slaves trust and depend on us. They must love, respect and depend on us. They must love, respect and trust only us.

Gentlemen, these kits are your keys to control. Use them. Have your wives and children use them, never miss an opportunity. If used intensely for one year, the slaves themselves will remain perpetually distrustful, Thank you gentlemen.

It was the interest and business of slaveholders to study human nature, and the slave nature in particular, with a view to practical results, and many of them attained astonishing proficiency in this direction. They had to deal not with earth, wood, and stone, but with men and by every regard they had for their own safety and prosperity they had need to know the material on which they were to work.

Conscious of the injustice and wrong they were every hour perpetrating and knowing what they themselves would do were they the victims of such wrongs, they were constantly looking for the first sign of the dread retribution. They watched with skilled and practiced eyes, and learned to read with great accuracy, the state mind and heart of the slave, through his sable face. Unusual sobriety, apparent abstraction, sullenness, and indifference-- indeed, any mood out of the common way afforded ground for suspicion and inquiry.

LET'S MAKE A SLAVE is a study of the scientific process

of man breaking and slave making, It describes the rationale and

results of the Anglo Saxon's ideas and methods of insuring the

master/slave relationship.

LET'S MAKE A SLAVE

The origin and development of a Social Being

Called the Negro

Let us make a slave. What do we need? First of all we need a Black nigger man, a pregnant nigger woman and her baby nigger boy. Second, we will use the same basic principle that we use in breaking a horse, combined with some more sustaining factors.

What we do with horses is that we break them from one form of life to another; that is, we reduce them from their natural state in nature; whereas nature provides them with the natural capacity to take care of their needs and the needs of their offsprings, we break that natural sting of independence from them and thereby create a dependency state so that we may be able to get from them useful production for our business and pleasure.

CARDINAL PRINCIPLES FOR MAKING A NEGRO

For fear that our future generations may not understand the principles of breaking both horses and men , we lay down the art. For, if we are to sustain our basic economy we must break and tie both of the beasts together, the nigger and the horse. we understand that short range planning in economies results in periodic economic chaos; so that, to avoid turmoil in the economy, it requires us to have breath and depth in long range comprehensive planning, articulating both skill and sharp perception.

We lay down the following principles for long range comprehensive economic planning:

1. Both horse and nigger are no good to the economy in the wild

or natural state.

2. Both must be broken and tied together for orderly production.

3. For orderly futures, special and particular attention must be

paid to the female and the young offspring.

4. Both must be crossbreed to produce a variety and division

of labor.

5. Both must be taught to respond to a peculiar new

language.

6. Psychological and physical instruction of containment must be

created for both.

We hold the above six cardinal principles as trues to be self- evident, based on the following discourse concerning the economics of breaking and tying the horse the nigger together -- all inclusive of the six principles laid down above.

NOTE: Neither principles alone will suffice for good economics. All principles must be employed for orderly good of the nation.

Accordingly, both a wild horse and a wild or natural nigger is dangerous even if captured, for they will have the tendency to seek their customary freedom and in doing so might kill you in your sleep. You cannot rest. They sleep while you are awake and are awake while you are asleep. They are dangerous near the family house and it requires too much labor to watch them away from the house. Above all you cannot get them to work in this natural state. Hence, both the horse and the nigger must be broken; that is break them from one form of mental life to another---keep the body and take the mind.

In other words break the will to resist. Now the breaking process is the same for both the horse and the nigger, only slightly varying in degrees. But as we said before, there is an art in long range economic planning. You must keep your eye on the female and the offspring of the horse and the nigger.

A brief discourse in offspring development will shed light on the key to sound economic principles. Pay little attention to the generation of original breaking but concentrate on future generations. Therefore, if you break the female mother, she will break the offspring in its early years of development and, when the offspring is old enough to work she will deliver it up to you, for her normal female protective tendencies have been lost in the original breaking process.

For example, take the case of the wild stud horse, a female horse and an already infant horse and compare the breaking process with two captured nigger males in their natural state, a pregnant nigger woman with her infant offspring. Take the stud horse, break him for limited containment. Completely break the female horse until she becomes very gentle whereas you or anybody can ride her in comfort. Breed the mare and the stud until you have the desired offspring. Then you can turn the stud to freedom until you need him again . Train the female horse whereby she will eat of your hand, and she will in turn train the infant horse to eat out of your hand also.

When it comes to breaking the uncivilized nigger, use the same process, but vary the degree and step up the pressure so as to do a complete reversal of the mind. Take the meanest and most restless nigger, strip him of his clothes in front of the remaining male niggers, the female, and the nigger infant, tar and feather him, tie each leg to a different horse faced in opposite directions, set him afire and beat both horses to pull him apart in front of the remaining nigger. The next step is to take a bull whip and beat the remaining nigger male to the point of death in front of the female and the infant. Don't kill him, but put the fear of God in him, for he can be useful for future breeding.

THE BREAKING PROCESS OF THE AFRICAN WOMAN

Then take the female, run a series of tests on her to see if she will submit to your desires willingly. Test her in every way because she is the most important factor for good economics. If she shows any sign of resistance in submitting completely to your will, do not hesitate to use the bull whip on her to extract that last bit of bitch out of her. take care not to kill her, for in doing so, you spoil good economics. when in complete submission, she will train her offspring in the early years to submit to labor when they become of age.

Understanding is the best thing. Therefore, we shall go deeper into this area of the subject matter concerning what we have produced here in this breaking process of the female nigger. We have reversed the relationships. In her natural uncivilized state she would have a strong dependency on the uncivilized nigger male, and she would have limited protective tendency toward her independent male offspring and would raise the female offspring to be dependent like her. Nature had provided for this type of balance. We reversed nature by burning and pulling one civilized nigger apart and bull whipping the other to the point of death-- all in her presence. By her being left alone, unprotected with the male image destroyed, the ordeal caused her to move from her psychological dependent state to a frozen independent state. In this frozen psychological state of independence she will raise her male and female offspring in reversal roles. For of the fear of the young males life she will psychologically train him to be mentally weak and dependent but physically strong. What have you got? you've got the nigger woman out front and the nigger man behind and scared. This situation is the perfect situation for a sound sleep!!!

Before the breaking process we had to alertly on guard at all times. Now we can sleep soundly, for out of the frozen fear, his woman stands guard for us. He cannot get past her early infant slave molding process. He is a good tool, now ready to be tied to the horse at a tender age.

By the time a nigger boy reaches the age of sixteen, he is soundly broken in and ready for a long life of sound and efficient work and the reproduction of a unit of good labor force.

Continually, through the breaking of uncivilized savage niggers, by throwing the nigger female savage into frozen psychological state of independency, by killing of the protective male image, and by creating a submissive dependent mind of the nigger male savage, we have created an orbiting cycle that turns on its own axis forever, unless a phenomena occurs and reshifts the position of the male and female savages. We show what we mean by example. take the case of the two economic slave units and examine them closely.

THE NEGRO MARRIAGE UNIT

We breed two nigger males with two nigger females. Then we take the nigger males away from them and keep them moving and working. Say the one nigger female and the other bares a nigger male. Both nigger females, being without influence of the nigger male image, frozen with an independent psychology, will raise their offspring into reversal positions. The one with the female offspring will teach her to be like herself, independent and negotiable (we negotiate with her, through her, by her, and negotiate at her will). The one with the nigger male offspring, she being frozen with a subconscious fear for his life, will raise him to be mentally dependent and weak, but physically strong--in other words, body over mind. Now in a few years when these two offsprings become fertile for early reproduction, we will mate and breed them and continue the cycle. That is good, sound, and long range comprehensive planning.

WARNING: POSSIBLE INTERLOPING NEGATIVES

Earlier, we talked about the non-economic good of the horse and the nigger in their wild or natural state; we talked out the principle of breaking and tying them together for orderly production; furthermore, we talked about paying particular attention to the female savage and her offspring for orderly future planning; then, more recently we stated that by reversing the position of the male and female savages, we had created an orbiting cycle that turns on it's own axis forever, unless a phenomenon occurred and reshifted the position of the male and the female savages.

Our experts warned us about the possibility of this phenomenon occurring, for they say that the mind has a strong drive to correct and recorrect itself over a period of time. If it can touch some substantial original historic base; and they advised us that the best way to deal with phenomenon is to shave off the brute's mental history and create a multiplicity of phenomena of illusions, so that each illusion will twirl in it's own orbit, something similar to floating balls in a vacuum.

Creation of a multiplicity of phenomenon of illusions entails the principle act of cross-breeding. The nigger and the horse as we stated above, the purpose of which is to create a diversified division of labor, whereby creating different levels of labor and different values of illusion at each connecting level of labor, the results of which is the severance of the points of original beginnings for each sphere illusion. Since we feel that the subject matter may get more complicated as we proceed in laying down our economic plan concerning the purpose, reason, and effort of cross-breeding horses and nigger; we shall lay down the following definition terms for future generations:

1. Orbiting cycle means a thing turning in a given path.

2. Axis means upon which or around which a body turns.

3. Phenomenon means something beyond ordinary conception and

inspires awe and wonder.

4. Multiplicity means a great number.

5. Sphere means a globe.

6. Cross-breeding a horse means taking a horse and breeding it

with an ass and you get a dumb backward ass longheaded mule

that is not reproductive nor productive by itself.

More

7. Cross-breeding niggers means taking so many drops of good

white blood and putting them into as many nigger women as

possible, varying the drops by the various tones that you want

and then letting them breed with each other until the circle of

colors appears as you desire. What this means is this: Put the

niggers and the horse in the breeding pot, mix some asses and

some good white blood and what do you get? You got a

multiplicity of colors of ass backward, unusual niggers, running,

tied to backward ass longheaded mules, one productive of itself,

the other sterile. (The one constant, the other dying we keep the

nigger constant for we may replace the mule for another tool)

Both mule and nigger tied to each other, neither knowing where

the other came from and neither productive for itself, nor

without each other.

CONTROLLED LANGUAGE

Cross-breeding completed, for further severance from their original beginning

we must completely annihilate the mother tongue of both the new nigger and the new mule and institute a new language that involves the new life's work of both. You know, language is a peculiar institution. It leads to the heart of a people. The more a foreigner knows about the language of another country the more he is able to move through all levels of that society. Therefore, if the foreigner is an enemy of another country, to the extent that he knows the body of the language, to that extent is the country vulnerable to attack or invasion of a foreign culture. For example, you take a slave, if you teach him all about your language, he will know all your secrets, and he is then no more a slave, for you can't fool him any longer, and being a fool is one of the basic ingredients of and incidents to maintenance of the slavery system.

If you told a slave that he must perform in getting out "our crops" and he knows language well, he would know that "our crops" didn't mean "our" crops, and the slavery system would breakdown, for he would relate on the basis of what "our crops" really meant. So you have to be careful in setting up the new language for the slave would soon be in your house, talking to you as "man to man" and that is death to your economic system. . In addition, the definition of words or terms are only a miniature part of the process. Values are created and transported by communication through the body of the language. A total society has many interconnected value system. All these values in the society has bridges of language to connect them for orderly working in the society. But for these language bridges these many value systems would sharply clash and cause internal strife or civil war, the degree of the conflict being determined by the magnitude of the issues or relative opposing strength in whatever form. For example, if you put a slave in a hog pen and train him to live there and incorporate in him to value it as a way of life completely, the biggest problem you would have out of him is that he would worry you about provisions to keep the hog pen clean, or partially clean or he might not worry you at all. On the other hand, if you put this same slave in the same hog pen and make a slip and incorporate something in his language whereby he comes to value a house more than he does his hog pen, you got a problem. He will soon be in your house.

1. Role Reversal-

woman independence; man in fear

2. Cross Breeding-

creating multi- levels of differences

3. Language-

cut off from the mother tongue and not knowing the

full vocabulary of the new
