Pierce (the subject of Griffin’s biography) by passing references to him in the mainstream media; I therefore dismissed him as not being worth my time. However, recently I came across Griffin’s excellent essay on Hollywood’s mischaracterizations in the movie “Moneyball” of the circumstances around the hugely successful 2002 season of the Oakland Athletics, which was engineered by General Manager Billy Beane. Looking around at other writings by Griffin, I ran into his book about Pierce, and was surprised by what it had to say.The surprise was Pierce’s observations, not so much his ultimate conclusions. We knew those; namely, Pierce saw racial mixing and the degrading influence of mass media as lethal threats to our society, and in particular to the White population and culture in America. And of course Pierce did not hold back his opinion as to who was mainly responsible for this threat. Regardless of how you may feel about the man’s conclusions, his observations and questions reflect real and pressing problems faced by our society, which are becoming harder and harder to ignore. Thus, to paraphrase Voltaire, perhaps one should judge Pierce by his questions, and then make up one’s own mind about his answers. Before looking at one of Pierce’s observations, a quick note on the style of the book. In its usual snide way, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) describes the book as a “fawning” biography of Pierce, without any further explanation of how they came to that conclusion. Nothing could be further from the truth. If anything, the style is much more documentary-like, in that Griffin lets Pierce speak for himself through direct or indirect quotes and supplies background material or explains terminology to make the quotes understandable. For example, in a chapter in which Pierce describes his involvement with George Lincoln Rockwell, Griffin provided a short biography of George Lincoln Rockwell and a description of his activities. Or as another example, in the chapter describing Pierce’s religious movement, “Cosmotheism,” Griffin describes its relationship to other religious views, particularly, pantheism. Nowhere did I detect any obsequiousness or uncritical adulation or flattery on the part of Griffin. In fact, occasionally Griffin inserts material parenthetically to put Pierce’s statements in context (such as, where Griffin clarified a Biblical quote by Pierce by citing the King James version of the same lines “quoted” by Pierce which happen to be slightly different, perhaps in a meaningful way. Would you say that is “fawning”?). The book examines a range of Pierce’s views about the deleterious effects that feminism, racial mixing, education, and so on, have had on society and particularly White society. The central culprit causing the problems according to Pierce—and this is hard to disagree with--is the mass media. Example quote of Pierce regarding the influence of mass media:"Most people have a very limited range of real life experiences. Television and films and glossy magazines provide an enormous expansion of experience for the average person by substituting artificial experiences for real experiences. On the television screen viewers experience artificial social relationships, artificial romances, artificial conflicts, artificial life. In advertisements they are given artificial ideals of beauty and fashion, artificial life-styles … And in their newspapers and newsmagazines they are given a … view of what is happening in the world."And what are some of the ways mass media takes advantage of its unique position with respect to the average mass media consumer? Pierce: "For example, a racially-mixed couple will be respected, liked, and socially sought after by other characters, as will a 'take charge' Black scholar or businessman, or a sensitive and talented homosexual, or a poor but honest and hardworking illegal alien from Mexico. On the other hand, a White racist—that is, any racially conscious White person who looks askance at miscegenation or at the rapidly darkening racial composition of America—is portrayed, at best, as a despicable bigot who is reviled by the other characters, or at worst, as a dangerous psychopath who is fascinated by firearms and is a menace to all law-abiding citizens. The racist 'gun nut,' in fact, has become a familiar stereotype … '" Even the most obtuse person can observe that such images are pervasive in the mass media and that it has gotten worse since Griffin’s book was published. Some say that it has taken an even more direct and open anti-White aspect recently, e.g. see tweets of Harvard-educated White-hating Sara Jeong hired by the NYT. Is it the result of a concerted effort by Jews in the media as Pierce believes—perhaps not a conspiracy, but just doing what they can when opportunities arise? And is it intentionally directed at Whites and White culture as Pierce believes—since Whites as a group are almost exclusively the ones targeted and negatively impacted? Or is the degradation of White society just collateral damage of the freedom of expression being exercised in the mass media? In a different area, we know about the effectiveness of Jews in lobbying for Israeli, even to the detriment of America’s best interests, such as in the case of the Iraq War, because the process has been brilliantly and exhaustively studied in Mearsheimer and Walt’s book on the subject. Are there similar factions working with similar diligence and skill using mass media to debilitate White culture and White identity, as Pierce believed? Of course, there may be other forces at work that also have had a negative impact the White population, such as those described by Charles Murray in “Coming Apart.” But even so, it is hard not to appreciate Pierce’s observations that were voiced for decades before those of us with more limited perception became aware of them. His observations become even more troubling, as Whites head toward minority status in the U.S. within the next few decades under current demographic trends. Is it time for Whites to wake up and start thinking about what is best for Whites as a group? Or are we destined to be the patsy of all of the other racial factions until we are driven to extinction and what’s left of Western Culture dies? ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Book *by H***Y on Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2023* Mandatory reading for anyone interested in the WN movement. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not a hit piece. *by B***Y on Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2022* Usually when a biography is written on a man like Pierce it is little more than a confused individual pointing the finger and proclaiming, "BAD MAN". This was actually well put together. Pierce was human so he isn't going to be perfect. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/8100795-the-fame-of-a-dead-mans-deeds-an-up-close](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/8100795-the-fame-of-a-dead-mans-deeds-an-up-close) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-11*
