Breed The Secret Design To Maintain Racial Inequality Among The Despised Classes

by William Chasterson

  At this point in Hannibal’s speech there could be heard from the animalists in the audience murmuring and even a few scornful chuckles. Immediately Hannibal fired back, “Don’t laugh! According to our scientists this planet once moved through the universe for millions of years without animals and it can do so again some day if we forget that we owe our higher existence, not to the ideas of a few crazy ideologists, but to the knowledge and ruthless application of Nature's stern and rigid laws!” Something told me it was Darwin that reached those conclusions. Hannibal continued, “Everything we admire on this earth today science, art, and technology is only the creative product of a few species and originally perhaps of one breed. On them depends the existence of this whole culture. If they perish, the beauty of this earth will sink into the grave with them.

  However much the soil, for example, can influence animalkind, the result of the influence will always be different depending on the breed in question. The low fertility of a living space may spur the one breed to the highest achievements. While in others it will only be the cause of bitterest poverty and final undernourishment with all its consequences. The inner nature of the breed in question will always determine the end result. What leads the one to starvation trains the other to hard work. All great cultures of the past perished only because the originally creative breed died out from blood poisoning. The ultimate cause of such a decline was their forgetting that all culture depends on intelligent animals and not the other way around. Therefore in order to preserve a certain culture the intelligent animal that creates it must be preserved. This preservation is bound up with the rigid law of necessity and the right to victory of the best and stronger in this world. Those who want to live, let them fight, and those who do not want to fight in this world of eternal struggle do not deserve to live. Even if this seems cruel to some, this is how it is!” As Hannibal said this again I noticed Darwin nodding his head in agreement. Hannibal continued, “Assuredly, however by far the harder fate is that which strikes…” Hannibal slammed his paw down on the podium, “that which strikes the animal who thinks he can overcome Nature, but in the last analysis only mocks her! Distress, misfortune, and diseases are her answer! The animal who misjudges and disregards the breeding laws actually forfeits the happiness that seems destined to be his. He thwarts the triumphal march of the best breed and hence also the precondition for all animal progress. He remains burdened with all the sensibility of intelligent animal, while living in the animal realm of helpless misery.

  It is pointless to argue which breed or breeds were the original representatives of higher animal culture and hence the real founders of all that we sum up under the word ‘animalkind.’ It is simpler to raise this question with regard to the present, and here an easy, clear answer results. The entire animal culture, all the results of art, science, and technology that we see before us today, are almost exclusively the creative product of the Thoroughbred Feline. This very fact leads us to the obvious conclusion that he alone was the founder of all higher animals. He therefore represents the prototype of all that we understand by the word ‘animal.’ He is the Prometheus of animalkind from whose bright forehead the divine spark of genius has sprung at all times. He is forever kindling anew that fire of knowledge that illuminated the night of silent mysteries and thus caused higher animal to climb the path to mastery over the other beings of this earth. Exclude him and perhaps after a few thousand years darkness will again descend on the earth. Animal culture will pass and the world will turn into a desert.” Although I was searching for answers, I never expected to find a history this obscure. Nevertheless it struck me as odd the way that Hannibal skipped over countless generations of animals in his search for the founders of animalkind. Were there no significant events that molded history into the world we see today? Hannibal continued, “If we were to divide animalkind into three groups, the founders of culture, the bearers of culture and the destroyers of culture, only the Thoroughbred Feline could be considered as the representative of the first group. From him originate the foundations and walls of all intelligent creation. Only the outward form and color are determined by the changing traits of character of the various breeds. He provides the mightiest building stones and plans for all animal progress. Only the execution corresponds to the nature of the varying animals and breeds. If beginning today all further Thoroughbred Feline influence on wild animals should stop, assuming that Cuyamonga should somehow perish, the present rise in science and technology might continue for a short time but in a few years the well would dry up. The indigenous animal would continue to benefit, but the present culture would freeze and sink back into the slumber from which it was awakened decades ago by the wave of Thoroughbred Feline culture. If it is established that a breed receives the most essential basic materials of its culture from foreign breeds, that it assimilates and adapts them, and that then, if further external influence is lacking, it rigidifies again and again, such a breed may be designated as ‘culture-bearing,’ but never as ‘culture-creating.’ An examination of the various breeds from this standpoint points to the fact that practically none of them were originally culture founding, but almost always culture bearing. Approximately the following picture of their development always results. Thoroughbred Feline breeds, often absurdly small numerically, enslave foreign species. They are stimulated by the special living conditions of the new territory such as fertility or climatic conditions. With the assistance of a multitude of lower-type beings standing at their disposal as helpers, they develop the intellectual and organizational capacities that lay dormant within them. Often in a few centuries they create cultures, which originally bear all the inner characteristics of their nature. In the end, however, the conquerors transgress against the principle of blood purity, to which they had first followed. They begin to mix with the subjugated inhabitants and thus end their own existence. After a thousand years and more, the last visible trace of the former master animals is often seen in an impotent ambition for progress, which its blood left behind in the subjugated breed. Or it’s manifest in a petrified culture, which it had originally created. For, once the actual and spiritual conqueror lost himself in the blood of the subjected breeds, the fuel for the torch of animal progress was lost! Just as, through the blood of the former masters, the ambition preserved a feeble gleam in their memory, likewise in cultural life there remains a glimmer of glory left over from the remaining creations of the former masters. They shine through all the returned savagery and too often inspire the thoughtless observer of the moment with the opinion that he beholds the picture of the present breed before him. He in fact is only gazing into the mirror of the past. It is possible that such savage breeds will a second time, come into contact with the master breed that once brought it culture. The memory of former encounters will not necessarily be present. Notwithstanding the remnant of the former master blood will unconsciously turn toward the new arrival. What was first possible only by compulsion can now succeed through the animals’ own will. A new cultural wave makes its entrance and continues until those who have brought it are again submerged in the blood of foreign breeds. It is impossible to say for sure how many times this cycle has repeated itself throughout history.

  It will be the task of a future cultural and world history to carry on researches into this subject and not to suffocate in the rendering of external facts, as is so often the case with our present historical science.

  This mere sketch of the development of ‘culture-bearing’ breeds gives a picture of the growth, of the activity, and-the decline-of the true culture-founders of this earth, the Thoroughbred Felines themselves. The cultures which they found, in such cases are nearly always decisively determined by the existing soil, the given climate, and-the subjected breeds. This last item, to be sure, is almost the most decisive. The more primitive the technical foundations for a cultural activity, the more necessary is the presence of sub animal helpers or slaves who, organizationally assembled and employed, must replace the force of the mach
ine. Without this possibility of using lower animal beings, the Thoroughbred Feline would never have been able to take his first steps toward his future culture. Just as without the help of various suitable beasts, which he knew how to tame, he would not have arrived at a technology, which is now gradually permitting him to do without these beasts. Thus, for the formation of higher cultures the existence of lower animal types was one of the most essential preconditions, since they alone were able to compensate for the lack of technical aids without which a higher development is not conceivable. It is certain that the first culture of animalkind was based on the use of lower animal beings. Only after the subjected breeds are first enslaved will the conquered warrior draw the plow. Only pacifistic fools can regard this as a sign of animal depravity, failing to realize that this development had to take place in order to reach the point where today these peacemongers could force their drivel on the world. The progress of animalkind is like climbing an endless staircase. It is impossible to climb higher without first taking the lower steps. Thus, the Thoroughbred Feline had to take the road to which reality directed him and not the one that would appeal to the imagination of a modern pacifist. The road of reality is hard and difficult, but in the end it leads us where our pacifist friend would like to bring animalkind by merely dreaming. Hence it is no accident that the first cultures arose in places where the Thoroughbred Feline, in his encounters with lower animals, subjugated them and bent them to his will. They then became the first technical instrument in the service of a developing culture. Thus the road, which the Thoroughbred Feline had to take, was clearly marked out. As a conqueror he subjected the lower beings and regulated their practical activity under his command, according to his will and for his aims. But in directing them to a useful, though arduous activity, he not only spared the life of those he subjected but he ultimately gave them a fate that was better than their previous so-called freedom. As long as he ruthlessly upheld the master attitude, not only did he really remain master, but also the preserver and increaser of culture. This is of course because culture was based exclusively on his abilities and hence on his actual survival. As soon as the subjected species began to become domesticated and probably approached the conqueror in language, the sharp dividing wall between master and servant fell. The Thoroughbred Feline gave up the purity of his blood and therefore lost the paradise, which he had created for himself. He became submerged in the racial mixture. Gradually at first, then more and more he lost his cultural capacity. Not only mentally but also physically he eventually began to resemble the subjected wild animals more than his own ancestors. For a time he could live on the existing cultural benefits, but then petrifaction set in and he fell a prey to oblivion. Thus cultures and empires collapsed to make place for new formations. Blood mixture and the resultant drop in the racial level is the sole cause of the dying out of old cultures. Animals do not perish as a result of lost wars, but by the loss of that force of resistance, which is contained only in pure blood. All who are not of good breed in this world are chaff! And all occurrences in world history are only the expression of the breed’s instinct of self-preservation, in the good or bad sense.

  The question of the inner causes of the Thoroughbred Feline’s importance can be answered to the effect that they are to be sought less in a natural instinct of self-preservation than in the special type of its expression. The Thoroughbred Feline is not greatest in his mental qualities as such, but in the extent of his willingness to put all his abilities in the service of the community. In him the instinct of self-preservation has reached the noblest form. He willingly subordinates his own ego to the life of the community and even sacrifices it if necessary. Giving one's own life for the existence of the community represents the ultimate sense of sacrifice. It is this alone that prevents what animal paws have built from being overthrown by savage animal claws or destroyed by Nature. This kind of activity can be described as a fulfillment of duty. It means not to be self-sufficient but rather to serve the community. The basic attitude from which such activity arises is called idealism. By this we understand only the individual's capacity to make sacrifices for the community and for his fellow beast. As soon as egoism becomes the ruler of a breed, the bands of order are loosened and in the chase after their own happiness animals fall from grace into real depravity. Yes, even posterity forgets the animals who have only served their own advantage and praises the heroes who have renounced their own happiness.”
