Tolkien was NOT Part of the Anglo-Saxon Club (nor was Il Duce, nor was my ma, nor me)

Why the Anglo-Saxon Club Was Obsessed With Purity

the 1:34 membership list read like a who's who of 1:36 Virginia's Elite okay because this is 1:39 really based in Virginia it spread out a 1:40 little a little outside that but the 1:43 center point was Virginia you have 1:45 politicians you have lawyers you have 1:46 doctors people of power and influence 1:49 were flocking to this club

Have you checked how many of them were Freemasons?

3:51 I'm sorry, but I think you are mis-analysing what the Anglo-Saxon Club was saying.

They were not saying that mix-race (if you want to use that term) couples were culpable of a plot to destroy racial purity. They were saying precisely that they were "collateral damage", and that depriving them of children "might seem cruel" but was "taking responsibility" ...

I'm not the least saying they were right. I'm just saying they were not in a blame game, they were in a "taking responsibility" game. What they did was not their revenge, what they did was their "responsibility" ...

I am not the least saying it was a good or even slightly correct responsibility to take. I'm just saying that their evil came, not from revenge, not from punishing people they thought evil, but from a desire for taking responsibility.

While we are here, how many of the guys who have flagged your videos could be guys who think JRRT was in this Anglo Saxon Club just because he enjoyed rereading Beowulf? I'm a Tolkien fan, I'm against racism, not all forms of xenophobia, but against this which really deserves to be called racism, and the guys who take Tolkien for a racist are taking me for one as well, even if he wasn't one either.

5:07 Oh, Walter Plecker ... I think I've heard the name.

Ein Pleck auf der Ehre der Menschheit ...

5:07 bis ... just as to refute eugenics, the man was Walter Ashby Plecker.

The name Ashby actually involves at least three good people:

1) Alexander of Ashby (Latin: Alexander Essebiensis) was a celebrated English theologian and poet, who flourished about the year 1220. Scarcely anything is known of his history, except that he appears to have been prior of Canons Ashby, in Northamptonshire. Some writers make him a native of Somersetshire; others of Staffordshire; and some have confounded him with Alexander Neckam.

He wrote various theological and historical works in prose, particularly a chronicle of England, which are still found scattered in manuscripts. His poetry, in which he sought to imitate Ovid and Ausonius, is much praised by John Bale. Amongst other poems, we may enumerate one in elegiacs, giving a description of all the saints' days throughout the year, with the lives of the saints who were celebrated on each and a metrical compendium of Bible History.

2) George Ashby (name uncertain) (died 1537) was an English Cistercian monk of Jervaulx Abbey.

A monk of this name, or Astleby (perhaps a surname taken from a location) is mentioned in various English martyrologies, as a victim of government reprisals after the Pilgrimage of Grace.

3) Make it, at least two:

Thomas Ashby was an English religious dissident who was executed at Tyburn on 29 March 1544.

He was originally included in the process for canonising the English martyrs, as he had been executed for denying the king's supremacy. However this was later rejected as there was some doubt that he died as a Catholic. "And the xix. day of March [1544] was draune from the tower unto Tyborne . . . . . Ascheby, that was some tyme a prest and forsoke it, and there was hongyd and qwarterd and there byrryd."

Well, I guess it is possible that he just forsook the celibate vows and clerical duties (or just the latter ones) and made up for it by dying as a martyr.

So, a possible relative of theirs was Walter Ashby Plecker. I suppose Judas Ischariot was a relative of some good people too ...

6:05 Till 1967? Thank you, I was going to ask .. the year when I was made.

1947 was the year my ma was born. I think you will agree it was a good year in other ways too.

8:29 Did Virginia have even one Catholic policeman in 1967?

I'm as happy about Loving v. Virginia as I'm about Dobbs v. JWHO.

Noting that JWHO are colleagues of Mr. Plecker.

9:10 The man doesn't know what recessive genes mean.

One could dread a future in which immigrants of inferior culture, equally ignorant of recessive genes, were starting to blame wives for infidelity if both husband and wife were brown-eyed and a child was blue eyed.

But one could not foresee a future in which mixing of eye-colours in marriages, even if very prevalent, destroyed blue eyes by biological necessity. That's not how recessive genes work.
