Hi Cesar,

Thanks for your latest article. I was mulling over what you said on your blog a few days ago about shifting the focus onto detailing dysfunctional family dynamics. Has that idea been curtailed now? It didn’t seem to last very long, or gain many responses from people.

I just got thinking today as I read the comment by Sebastian C. on David Irving. In general I can’t disagree, but what stimulated my mind was remembering also that as with William Pierce and his beaten anti-racist son Kelvin, and Stormfront’s Don Black and his ‘transgender’ offspring, David drove his daughter to schizophrenia. That part of his legacy never gets much mention. I feel it would make for a more realistic portrayal, taking the good with the bad autobiographically. It does not negate his bravery or passionate lifelong commitment to the cause, but it gives us pause for thought. There’s a difference after all between lauding the achievements of a great man and frankly kissing his ass come what may, the latter of which generally seems the right’s approach long-term.

What I was going to write about – and I’m sure you’ve had it your entire life with your famous father so can sympathise – is something on my father’s exemplary career, and how it was picked up by others and reported back to me my entire life, including, if you remember from my book, by at least one family therapist figure (there have been other psychiatrists equally impressed), and the effect this effective starry-eyed sycophancy had on me knowing what he was like to me in private, and the subsequent reduced possibility that I would be believed, as, in true Morales fashion, most people do go on credentialism (and their own knee-jerk wishful thinking in building up a persona) over private domestic character when evaluating someone (and how could they know the latter?). I’m not in a great state to be writing at the moment, but I’ll put some thought into it over the next few days.

I think, much as I still recognise his great contribution (and it certainly is great), my view of David Irving has been tarnished slightly by the knowledge that he was cruel (or neglectful) to at least one of his offspring. I am used to his ‘public persona’ as I’ve watched a great many of his presentations also, as with reading a fair few of his books (so far), and it hurts me to know he, as with all people, has a dark side. I hope that if a biography of him is ever written that it covers this fairly (although somehow I doubt it will).

What of his daughter? Is she thrown under the bus in all of this, to make more room for his fame in the limelight? His f**king reputation? I’d imagine it’s what racialists would want. She could have followed in his footsteps as a great historian, or whatever else would be more suited to her as woman (as with Kelvin Pierce, who could have been a profound white nationalist). It just seems a terrible waste. I know my own life has basically been ruined.

As far as I can see, someone can achieve the greatest possible personal glory in life, but if they can’t even protect their own biological heritage – their own family – what was it actually worth? In my eyes they have failed their sole sacred duty. That seems the Himmlerian position.

I know this is a controversial point to raise, and I do not wish it to be glibly rendered a pedantic one, but I just thought I’d run it by you as my brainstorm for the day.

Best regards,

Ben
