Ron Howard — real name Ron Beckenholdt, a famous child actor, then adult actor who for decades has been a successful movie director (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=Ron+Howard&title=Special:Search&ns0=1), one of over 50 MILLION Americans of mostly German blood

….Back to Africa (or to anywhere else, JUST GO!)
Thomas Jefferson of Virginia had 200 slaves, but wanted all negroes some day to be 1) freed and 2) immediately expelled to any faraway place.
Robert E. Lee felt the same way, and, in fact, wanted the Blacks, whom he considered to be violent and unruly, to be expelled while still slaves, walking up the gangplank while still under slave discipline, and never freed at all while on American soil.
Some of his letters to his wife during the “Civil War” were discovered a few decades ago in a vault at the Burke & Herbert Bank of Alexandria, Virginia, where I used to bank myself. They end the myth that Lee was not a “racist,” but just wanted “states’ rights” or “low tarifs,” etc.
Lee strongly believed the Blacks were racially inferior and highly dangerous.
LOOK AT THIS NEGRESS, who was the vice-chairperson of Clayton County, Georgia (salary $279K per annum). She is discovered lying on the sidewalk, passed out. Arrested for public drunkenness, she abuses white cops and EMTs and denies she was intoxicated despite cameras showing her that she had downed five drinks!
The white population of this county near Atlanta has fled, plummeting from 35% to 9% in twenty years. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clayton_County,_Georgia)

…..The huge clout German-Americans once had
I thank a supporter for this map. Every area in red in eastern Europe represents a region into which Germans living in the Reich were actively INVITED to resettle by the rulers of that area. This is the opposite of how it was with the jews, who were expelled by rulers from 109 countries and cities.
Germans were honest, hard-working, skilled, reliable, and lived orderly lives.
The communists expelled the Germans from all these areas in and after 1945 which were clean,neat, and flourishing; they lost everything, and sometimes their lives.
Alexander Solzhenitsyn, the famous Russian writer, Nobel Laureate, and anticommunist, was a young artillery officer in 1945, fighting in German East Prussia. He wrote: “I could tell when we entered German territory, and saw the cities, and the shady, tree-lined roads and houses in the countryside. Everything was immaculate.”
Allenstein in East Prussia; Nicholas Copernicus, the famous astronomer, was the city administrator here for years, which went back and forth between Germany and Poland. The Red Army burned much of the city, killing many Germans –and even raping and murdering Poles. After the war, the Poles did rebuild much of the city in the beautiful old style.
An “allee” (a tree-lined country road), something Germans loved.
(After WWII, Canada begged Germans with sheet-metal and other skills, such as my late friend Fritz Stallmach, to come to Kingston, Ontario and help build up Canadian car-making… resulting in my Canadian Crown Victoria. 😉 )
I sold the Crown Vic three months ago to keep this website going, which is hacked 24/7/365 by jews. I have nothing left to sell off.
A comrade and donor read yesterday’s blog (https://johndenugent.com/wilson-lied-people-died-his-savage-mistreatment-of-cong-lindbergh-sr-who-defended-the-hard-working-honest-law-abiding-valuable-white-immigrants-from-germany/) and commented:
My mother, whose maiden name was Herr, was born in Fayetteville. Arkansas in 1919. There was no mention from her about persecution due to having a German name. Nor did any of the other Herrs I knew as relatives speak of this.
I replied:
I am sure that is accurate.
The Deep South never had a huge German influx, although greater New Orleans did have a German section, full of industry, called Gretna, which I visited in 1990.
The Appalachian mountain range also had German immigrants, such as my late wife’s ancestor, Jacob Hochstetter, after he left Pennsylvania in the wake of a traumatic Amerindian massacre of his family.
But the Appalachian area was/is not the Deep South at all, and in fact, it rejected slavery — without loving the blacks in the slightest, which is also very true today. And the mountain folk, like Margi a mix of Scots-Irish and German, sympathized with the Union in the “Civil War.”
In fact, the western part of Virginia, in the Appalachian mountains and almost 100% white, seceded from the Confederate state of Virginia and was admitted to the Union as “West Virginia.” Their view was simple: “Slavery brings the blacks in, and that we do not want.” They were against slavery because they were against the blacks and did not want them entering their region. Slavery (labor without wages being paid) also threatened the white working class.
This was also true of Oregon, btw, which enacted a prohibition on Blacks moving there, free or as slaves. Anti-slavery sentiment was often anti-black, and saw the Southern white slave-owners and plantation-owners as greedy fools who were short-sighted and inflicting a negro curse on America.
I learned a huge amount about the German-Americans when I worked for a German-American Foundation, the Tricentennial Foundation, in 1985-87.
The Deep South (not to include Texas) was of British stock (with a smidgen of Cajun-French names radiating out from New Orleans and the Acadian/Cajun bayou areas).
I surmise that the German element in the Deep South was correctly seen as not being a political or economic threat to the Wilson warmongering of 1916-1917. But Wilson, an Ohioan, knew just how strong the Germans were in the Midwest.
The Midwest was very different from the monolingual, English-speaking Deep South. Germans were, in many areas, by far the largest white ethnic subgroup and had thousands of newspapers, clubs, choirs, beer gardens, theaters, symphonies, private schools and religious services (Protestant/Lutheran and Catholic), all held in the German language.
Had the Midwestern German-Americans not been crushed by a wave of outrageous jewspaper lies and defamations about fictitious atrocities, they would have retained the economic and political clout which they long enjoyed so as to thwart Wilson’s declaration of war on Germany.
Look at this delusional, B-S proclamation by the then mayor of Ontonagon (a W.C. Marley) in 1918 after the innocent Germans had laid down their arms. You gotta read the text (second photo); this guy was trippin’. “Down with kaiserism,” he says. And this town itself is heavily German!
“Henceforth, all the peoples of the world shall be free”…..WTF? Ah yes, ‘cuz Wilson said it would be “the war to end all wars”…..”peace without victors”….. “self-determination of all peoples”….
.
What makes this poster so incredibly delusional is that one American in three was German himself!!!!!!!! German-Americans were among the very finest of all immigrants!
The war hysteria of 1917-18 in America, demonizing the Germans with zero evidence of ANY atrocities AT ALL, just stupid drawings and posters,
….was the ultimate proof of what publisher Thomas Watson (the noble foe of jewish rapist-strangler Leo Frank) once said:
This weird trait is what got me to read the great German spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle.
What the f—k is WRONG with Whites, who otherwise can be smart and even wonderful, and have invented technological marvels and reached the heights of science and LOGIC with both feet planted so firmly in reality???
This is just ONE example of our race’s genius WHEN we are not being LITERALLY insane and believing, spreading and KILLING other Whites based on overtly ludicrous lies:
Sir Timothy John Berners-Lee OM KBE FRS FREng FRSA DFBCS RDI (born 8 June 1955),[1] also known as TimBL, is an English computer scientist best known as the inventor of the World Wide Web, the HTML markup language, the URL system, and HTTP. He is a professorial research fellow at the University of Oxford[2] and a professor emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).[3][4]
.
In fact, the Temperance/Prohibition movement (to ban bars and the sale and consumption of alcohol) was blocked for decades by overall German-American political and economic clout and especially by the big German-American beer brewers (Anheuser-Busch, Stroh’s, Schlitz, Pabst, etc.).
A key point in this regard was that the beer brewers had concluded a strong and serious political alliance with the Irish-Americans, who then (as now) ran very many bars. The bar was their livelihood, which Prohibition threatened.
Only the crushing of German-American power in 1917, which then left the Irish-Americans standing alone against “Temperance” (also called “Prohibition”), made the passage of Prohibition possible.
This movement to ban alcohol was just about entirely borne by the Americans of British stock (English, Scottish, Welsh, etc.), and, to this day, “dry counties” are found in the overwhelmingly British-settled South of the USA.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperance_movement
Excerpt:
…there was significant pushback against the growing temperance movement, particularly in urban areas with significant European immigrant communities. Chicago political bosses A.C. Hesing and Hermann Raster forced the Republican Party to adopt an anti-temperance platform at the 1872 Republican National Convention with the threat of taking the German and European vote away from the party. The following year, Hesing formed the People’s Party, a breakaway pro-liquor faction of the Republican Party, and elected Harvey Doolittle Colvin as mayor of Chicago by a wide margin.[66][67]
[…] The movement gained traction during the First World War, with President Wilson issuing sharp restrictions on the sale of alcohol in many combatant countries. This was done to preserve grain for food production.[14] During this time, prohibitionists used anti-German sentiment related to the war to rally against alcohol sales, since many brewers were of German-American descent.[52][note 3]
[…] Initially, prohibition had some positive effects in some states, with [automaker Henry] Ford reporting that absenteeism in his companies had decreased by half.[52] Alcohol consumption decreased dramatically. Also, statistical analysis has shown that the temperance movement during this time had a positive, but moderate, effect on later adult educational outcomes through providing a healthy pre-natal environment.[70]: 162, 165 [36]: 157
However, prohibition had negative effects on the US economy, with thousands of jobs being lost, the catering and entertainment industries losing huge profits. The US and other countries with prohibition saw their tax revenues decrease dramatically, with some estimating this at a loss of 11 billion dollars [ = $100 billion today] for the US.[14][86][note 6] Furthermore, enforcement of the alcohol ban was an expensive undertaking for the government. Because the Eighteenth Amendment did not prohibit consumption, but only manufacture, distribution and sale, illegal consumption became commonplace. Illegal production of alcohol rose, and a thousand people per year died of alcohol that was illegally produced with little quality control. Bootlegging was a profitable activity, and crime[ = the Mafia and also jewish bootleggers] increased rather than decreased as expected and advocated by proponents.[14]
The German-American presence and pride from 1690 to 1917 were in one sense comparable to the burgeoning Hispanic presence of today, with the open use of the Spanish language and completely Spanish neighborhoods, eating establishments, clubs, the Mass being held in Spanish, etc, etc.
Of course, in contrast, the German immigrants were white, law-abiding, either highly educated or skilled in the trades, and emigrated to America with money in their pocket from hard work, having a skilled profession, and from thrift (which equals that of the Scots).
The German immigrants fit in instantly with the British-Americans, looking only slightly different with perhaps wider or squarer faces), intermarried with them, and learned to speak impeccable English, especially their children, since simple, daily English vocabulary, being mostly Anglo-Saxon, is a very cognate language.
AND, let me add, the German immigrants, serious people with a strenous work ethic, held their liquor well and were NOT known themselves for drunkenness.
In the Wild West, the desperados and gunslingers often had British names, whereas the Germans were often among the law-abiding townspeople who avoided prostitutes, saloon fights, card games, gambling, gunfights, etc.
The Germans came to America to start solid farms and businesses, and so they did. 🙂
It was sickening what the liar and sex-fiend Woodrow Wilson did to them, who arguably were the best immigrants America ever received, with the Calvinist/Presbyterian Scots in second place, also having a superb work ethic, thrift, and a law-abiding spirit.
My great-grandfather Waddell of Greensburg, Pennsylvania was one of them. And he, looking for a woman with similar values, married a woman who had a rather German name, I should say, namely “Berlin.” 😉

…..When Ricky Shroder stood up for the heroic kid Kyle Rittenhouse (plus other German-American lore)
Right-wing TV star who donated $150K to get Kyle Rittenhouse out on bail is subjected to death threats and vile abuse across the media; German DNA in many TOP Americans
by contributing editor François Arouet

John would genuinely love to hear from you so that you can set up a private SKYPE conversation where he can explain his vision, and you can help him achieve his goals. We are this close to a new gilded age. Our people need you NOW more than ever.
.
Do you recall the hit 80’s television sitcom, “Silver Spoons,” starring Ricky Schroder?
.
In the pilot episode, Ricky Stratton, played by Ricky Schroder arrives at an English-style mansion (presumably set in America’s Northeast, although the brick Tudor period mansion shown in the opening credits that represented “The Stratton Mansion”, is actually a private stately-home built in 1481, named Compton Wynyates and located in Warwickshire, England) to meet his dad for the first time.
.
Edward Stratton III (Joel Higgins), who plays Ricky’s father, epitomizes the term “man-child”, has never taken responsibility for anything in his life including his son, as well as his toy business that turned him into a wealthy man.
.
Ricky, on the other hand is very mature, immediately recognizing that his father needs to grow up and in a way acts as his mentor during the program’s nearly five-year run. Schroder’s character comes across as a little “conservative” as he is pragmatic, responsible, values hard work and free speech.
.
Upon considering the merits of this programme, would it be acceptable to have a character like this in today’s political climate? Unfortunately, I have come to the conclusion that it would be frowned upon, perhaps even be deemed abusive to America’s impressionable children by the Left. Having a “trans” boy wearing a tutu would be celebrated. Having a conservative minded, well-dressed, articulate young man espousing views and possessing characteristics one associates with Trump supporters? Heaven forbid!
.
I find it rather sad that things have changed so dramatically over the last 30 years. I would not want a child of mine watching any of the modern stuff on Netflix or the like. Even the cartoons nowadays have a despicably Left wing and family-destroying, political bent and bias.
.
So, 20 years elapse and Schroder is next seen in a widely regarded stint on the hugely popular early 2000s television program, “NYPD Blue,” where the actor portrays Danny Sorenson, a US Army Desert Storm combat veteran turned streetwise cop.
.
.
Once again, the conspicuously white European/gentile actor portrays a compassionate male figure with fatherly instincts and seemingly right-wing ideals. In childhood, Sorenson is said to have “immigrated to the United States from Norway along with his younger sisters following the death of his father.” He is a deeply troubled but sensitive character who had been entrusted to take care of his younger siblings.
.
And now, years later, it appears that Schroder has in fact taken on board some of the characteristics of his two most famous on screen characters in real life, helping Kyle Rittenhouse financially and even mentoring the young man during his ordeal.
TMZ, a horrific Hollywood based celebrity news channel, reported that the “17-year-old youth accused of killing two people during a protest in Wisconsin is seen smiling in a new photo with his lawyer and “NYPD Blue” and “Silver Spoons” star Ricky Schroder after posting his $2 million bond and being released from custody.”
.
.
Kyle Rittenhouse, the young man accused of first-degree murder, “fleeing prosecution,” and other trumped up charges in Kenosha for a remarkable display of bravery, marksmanship and soldiering – we all watched unfold online – needs all the help he can get at this juncture.
.
Sheriff’s officials confirmed to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, part of the USA TODAY Network, that Rittenhouse was released Friday afternoon.
.
Hours later, Lin Wood of Atlanta who is a member of Rittenhouse’s defense team and who is deeply involved with the nationwide effort to “Stop The Steal” (theft of the presidential election) tweeted a photo of Rittenhouse, Ricky Schroder and attorney, John Pierce, under the title of “FREE AT LAST!!!”
FREE AT LAST!!!
From L to R:
Attorney John Pierce @CaliKidJMP
THE KYLE RITTENHOUSE
Actor Ricky Schroder @rickyschroder13
Thank you, All Donors.
Thank you, All Patriots.
Thank God Almighty.#FightBack pic.twitter.com/37Ly66itT8— Lin Wood (@LLinWood) November 21, 2020
.
Lin Wood had tweeted earlier that a donation from Schroder helped put Rittenhouse’s bond fundraising effort “over the top.”
.
On Sunday morning, Schroder tweeted a second photo of himself with Rittenhouse and his mother, Wendy.
.
.
It’s not known whether Rittenhouse and his mother had flown out to California or they met at Rittenhouse’s local lawyer’s home, but it was good to see him looking happy, healthy and in the company of people that support him in his darkest hour.
.
“In America we are ALL innocent until a jury of peers decides guilt or innocence, not the Mob or Press,” Schroder wrote on his noticeably unverified account with 37.6K followers, urging them to move to Parler, a conservative social media platform. “When the facts are known, many of you will owe this young man an apology.”
.
According to Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, Schroder shared Wood’s tweets Friday evening on Parler, including one that read, “Follow & thank Actor Ricky @rickyschroder for his significant contribution to get #FightBack over the goal line to reach $2M cash bail goal.”
.
Variety reported that
“His (Kyle’s) case has taken on political overtones. Supporters of the Black Lives Matter movement have painted Rittenhouse as a trigger-happy white supremacist. Conservatives upset over property destruction during recent protests have portrayed him as a patriot who was exercising his right to bear arms during unrest. A legal defense fund for Rittenhouse has raised millions of dollars in donations and his mother got a standing ovation from women at a Waukesha County GOP function in September.”
.
Speaking with The New York Post, Schroder confirmed he contributed a large sum of money “in the hundreds of thousands of dollar region” to pay Rittenhouse’s bond and legal defense.
.
Rittenhouse has been charged with the shooting of two domestic terrorists – one of whom was a convicted serial pedophile – during the protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin — with what has been alleged was an illegally obtained semi-automatic rifle he bought with his coronavirus stimulus check – something we have been covering in great detail.
.
Along with MyPillow CEO, Mike Lindell and literally thousands of other patriots, Schroder helped the 17-year-old post his $2 million bond.
.
“It made me mad what I saw happening to this kid,” Schroder told the New York Post. “The young boy is innocent and I am confident that he will be proven innocent. I did what any father should’ve done, and that’s get a kid out of jail that doesn’t deserve to be there.”
.
“This was Kyle’s life being destroyed,” Schroder continued. “This is his freedom at risk. It infuriated me to see an innocent 17-year-old young man being tried and found guilty before trial.”
.
Schroder said he sympathizes with the heroic young man because he himself had been convicted by “the media” after he was arrested for domestic abuse in May 2019. “It sucked because everybody thought I was a woman beater, and I’m not a woman beater,” he contended. The case was later dismissed because his girlfriend refused to press charges.
.
“I was tried and convicted in the court of the media [myself]. But you have to understand, that’s only my reputation that was being destroyed.”
Since helping to bail out the heroic youngster, Schroder said he’s received a barrage of vitriol and abuse in the form of “insults and threats made via social media”.
.
It has in fact gotten so bad that Schroder has had to report the harassment to police. “When people talk about coming to my home is when they get my attention,” he commented.
.
Thankfully, like Kyle, Schroder is armed to the teeth!
.
The backlash he has received from the usual suspects – the media, elite and their Antifa pawns – hasn’t remotely changed Schroder’s position on Rittenhouse.
.
TMZ reported that, “Ricky Schroder’s getting so much hate for helping accused murderer Kyle Rittenhouse make bail, he reported it to cops … TMZ has learned.
.
Note – “TMZ” is an abbreviation of Thirty-Mile Zone, which references the historic “studio zone” within a 30-mile radius of Hollywood, California
.
Law enforcement sources tell us … deputies responded to a call from Schroder Sunday and stopped by his home to review various negative social media posts directed at the “NYPD Blue” actor.
.
While they weren’t life-threatening, some of the comments were pretty nasty … “Tbh thought he was dead. Would’ve been better,” “This was a racist move pure and simple,” and “Ricky Schroder can shove that silver spoon right up his ass.”
.
Lovely.
.
But Schroder isn’t deterred.
.
“I’m in this in the long haul for this kid, until his name’s cleared,” he said. “This is a clear case of self-defense. Besides, he wasn’t there to stop the protests,” Schroder said. “He was there to defend property from chaos.” It does appear that Schroder may have been, as has been reported, “keen on making a documentary about the kid”, also reported by TMZ.
.
Rittenhouse’s next court date is set for December 3rd. He faces life in prison if convicted on one count of first-degree intentional homicide. He is also charged with two counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety and one of attempted first-degree intentional homicide, in addition to misdemeanor possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18.
.
But people shouldn’t be too shocked that Schroder helped.
.
He regularly posts “anti-Antifa” memes, as well as taglines like #fuckMarxism from his various social media counts.
.
And while Ricky Schroder still has acting and directing aspirations, you may someday find him on a ballot. The man who spoke in honor of George W. Bush at the 2000 Republican National Convention is following the deficit battle in Congress closely. “The stage is set for fiscal responsibility moving forward,” he comments. “But even though the debt is too large, I’m more worried about the trade deficit. I’m concerned about the long term. Why aren’t we in a surplus and getting wealth from other countries?” .
.
When asked directly, Ricky Schroder says, “Maybe one day I’ll run for office.”
.
In the meantime, he will continue acting and directing. He is a conservationist and a passionate fisherman. He is also working with the US Army to produce advertising and marketing vehicles because, he says, “the disconnect between civilians and the military has never been greater.”
.
He is also on Parler.
.
Let’s hope good things are on the horizon for Mr Schroder. He seems like a decent guy.
.
Wouldn’t you rather have men like Schroder, Lin Wood and Rittenhouse as neighbors than the scumbags Rittenhouse killed?
.
I think that goes without saying!

******* From JdN
Thank you for a fine article, François.
Btw, Rick Schroder and Kyle Rittenhouse are also perfect examples of the huge German-American contribution to this country in every area — successful modern farmers, businessmen, soldiers, engineers, chemists, writers, political leaders and very popular and fine actor and actresses.
Germans, whether blond or brunet, tend to have square jaws, rectangular faces, and rugged good looks. Germans also have the highest IQ in Europe.

I invite you now to read these major articles on the greatness of Germans and German-Americans which I wrote for
https://johndenugent.com/images/German-Blood-pt1-TBR-2005-no6-4-13.pdf
https://johndenugent.com/images/german-americans-ii-tbr-july-august-2007.pdf
I can tell you this, that when I start my racial, political and spiritual movement,
the 50 MILLION German-Americans will again
feel great pride in their blood!
.
…and I gotta add this last thing:
Not that Germans are perfect, BUT
There is no salvation for our race as long as it is insane on a daily basis:
Regarding Prohibition, I think a major contributing factor was the suffrage movement. I believe Prohibition was enacted slightly before women were given the vote, however the opinions of women had become a powerful political force in the United States when Prohibition was enacted and the majority of American women adamantly wanted this law.
And who can blame them? I bet it has ruined 20 million marriages and careers over the centuries, and caused how many car wrecks?
But in moderation, it is great.
I suspect the Kelts and Slavs may have a gene that makes alcohol affect them worse. Or perhaps it is just the specific effects of their national drinks, whiskey and vodka.
I know a local who is fine UNLESS he drinks Tequila. 😉
Prohibition did enormous damage to the country. First, alcohol is addictive. The body wants it if it is used to having it. So the result is a powerful desire to have it if it is no longer available, and this powerful desire can be exploited by the usual suspects along with the criminal element — which is what happened.
And there were side effects. For example my Granddad Herr was a rebel. When alcohol was prohibited he rebelled against this, and the consequence was his addiction to moonshine whiskey and the end of his career as an auto mechanic, for his father had set him up with a garage in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Had there not been Prohibition, Grandad would not have become alcoholic, for this happened out of rebellion against tyranny.
As it turned out, Granddad became a beer drinker instead of a moonshine addict, but his rebellion against Prohibition cost him his business and he ended up working in the oil fields of Kansas and then getting badly burned in an explosion, along with living in comparative poverty for the rest of his life, though his father had been the wealthiest man in Burden, Kansas.
Oh, no! Thank you for sharing this story, a lesson for all readers.
That is terrible, however, and it is also multigenerational, because by rights we as the grandchildren want to look up to our grandparents. They have the gray or white hair, and this should go with wisdom.
As for my parents, I remember respecting both of them, but at the same time I was aware that Mom and Dad too were, in a sense, “young people.”
Both my grandfathers and grandmothers, however, had an august air about them. And my paternal grandfather had beaten the bottle. He had been a jazz saxophonist for the great Harry James big band, and, well, that was the showbiz life….
Harry James was a brilliant trumpet player from Georgia,
…and was married for decades to the beautiful Betty Grable… 😉
So that was the world my grandfather got into and then out of.
He became the “super”[intendent] of a huge Manhattan apartment building.
In this world, everyone has their issues, but if you can beat your inner demons, I take my hat off to you.
When Jesus said, “Judge not, lest ye be judged,” it was a profound teaching. Only the highest authority knows the whole story of our lives and what we have been through — and overcome!
