Yesterday a woman in Minnesota was filmed saying the Word of Power. Not only once, but multiple times, with a smile on her face. Then she flipped off the man who was filming her.

It seems that Shiloh Hendrix had caught a five-year-old black boy stealing things from her even younger child’s bag, and had told him off using the Word of Power. An onlooker, a Somali man, then approached her with his camera and upbraided her for her violation of racial decorum. White women must know their place, after all. It seems that the Somali, and you can’t make this up, may be a literal pedophile (although the charges were dropped; however, see this). I was initially skeptical of that part, but my sources (i.e. random accounts commenting on X) confirm this is true.

Shiloh wasn’t having it, however.




This is a small, stupid thing. A black kid behaved in an ill-mannered fashion and was told off with vulgar language by a tired mom who, honestly, looked like she’d had a long day. Who cares?

Except she broke the taboo, she spoke the Word of Power, so we are made to care.

The video went viral, as such videos will, and from there we all wearily knew what to expect next. Shiloh Hendrix was screwed. Her life was over. Initially it all went according to script. The mob descended. She was identified, doxxed, her Social Security Number and phone number leaked, her employer was contacted, her regular hangouts were contacted, the school her children attended was contacted. She would soon be unemployed and ostracized from her community. While I do not know Shiloh’s circumstances, she gives the impression of being, well, not exactly middle class if you know what I mean. There’s every reason to expect that her existence is economically precarious. Unemployment could well result in homelessness.

But then a miracle happened.

Shiloh started a GiveSendGo, initially asking for $10,000, a small sum to help her relocate.

The GiveSendGo campaign blew past that goal in 30 minutes, so the goal was extended to $100,000. Shiloh was apparently already in tears when the campaign reached the $10,000 level – that isn’t a lot of money, so we can assume she really is living on the economic precipice. In any case, the $100k goal was shattered too, so the bar was raised to $250k ... which was also reached and rapidly exceeded. As of the time of this writing, Shiloh has raised over $360,000 $380,000 $390,000, with a $1M stretch goal. It goes up a thousand dollars every few minutes or so.

I do not personally know anything about Shiloh. There’s been no indication of a husband, so it seems likely she’s a single mom; her tattoo sleeve, location, and economic circumstances all point to her being part of America’s white underclass. Maybe that’s so, maybe it isn’t. It’s possible she’s had a troubled past. Has she been on OnlyFans? Acted in porn? Does she have a history with drugs? Are her two boys from the same dad? I have no idea. I bring these possibilities up not to besmirch her character, but to emphasize that I do not care. And neither should you. The personal circumstances of her life and whatever choices she made that brought her to this moment of unsought-for Internet fame are completely and wholly irrelevant to what is happening here, which is this:

White people are signalling that they have had enough.

We have had enough with having our lives ruined for saying a stupid word.

We have had enough with being morally policed by foreign men coming from the worst parts of the world to parasite off of us while telling us they’re morally better than us.

We have had enough of tolerating the daily impositions of black criminality.

We have had enough with the never-ending humiliation rituals.

We have had enough with the rabid censorship mobs.

We have had enough with biting our tongues.

We are done with it.

Too many whites have been robbed, assaulted, raped, and murdered since the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Junior badgered the country into humouring his little communist nightmare.

Too many neighbourhoods have been burned to the ground.

Too many cities have been ruined.

Too many businesses destroyed.

Too many careers have been ruined by censorious busybodies.

Too many careers have failed to launch because affirmative action and DEI handed opportunities to the undeserving.

Too much treasure has been squandered, and too much blood has been spilled, all to no avail.

If Shiloh can say this simple word, this word that has absurdly become a Word of Power, in front of the whole world ... and rather than being destroyed as so many others have, be elevated and enriched by the embrace of her fatigued and frustrated people ... if we can do this thing for her, the taboo will be dead. The word will be stripped of its power.

And we will all be free again.

I do not mean that we will just be free to say a word. That is a very small thing, liberating though it feels to say it.

The taboo of the Word of Power is the lynchpin that holds the entire cognitive prison in place, because it is the symbol that folds within itself all of the deceptions that comprise that structure – that there are no differences between ancestral groups, that noticing differences is the worst sin that one may commit, that there is no price too high to erase every sign and consequence of that sin from the world, that white people are uniquely guilty of the sin and blacks uniquely innocent, that every difference in personal or collective circumstance is only ever a consequence of that sin and never a natural result of the differences which do not exist and can under no circumstances be noticed. Break that taboo and that unstable tangle of falsehood begins to come undone, because the knots holding it together are neither reason nor observation, but emotional conditioning ... above all the emotion of fear.

If Shiloh can say the word and be rewarded by us, the fear will dispel, the spell cast by the Word of Power will evaporate like morning mist, and we shall suddenly find that because we no longer have to lie to ourselves, because we no longer have to run from ourselves, because we no longer have to apologize for ourselves, we can once again reach inside and find the will to do the things that are necessary to set our society back in its proper order.

We could always do those things, physically. The capability has always been there. Almost trivially so.

We’ve only lacked the will.

This story isn’t over yet. The NAACP is throwing a fit, and has contacted the police in her city, demanding they do something. What they can do about her saying a word I do not know: she is American, and is protected by the First Amendment, for whatever that is worth, which probably isn’t much. I’m sure they’ll contrive some way to screw with her. Perhaps they will send Child Protective Services to try and kidnap her children. Maybe they’ll try to drag her into civil court, sue her for emotional damages, so the GiveSendGo money can be given to the black kid’s parents in compensation. These people are devious, vicious, and unprincipled. The law to them is nothing but a weapon with which to punish their enemies, and simply by becoming a symbol, Shiloh has a giant target painted on her back. They know how essential it is to maintain the taboo, that if the Word of Power loses its power, their entire oppressive theocracy comes undone. They will therefore do everything they can to destroy her, both legally and, perhaps, illegally. If I were Shiloh I would be extremely concerned for my children’s safety.

This isn’t just about helping Shiloh, remember. Honestly, she’s already got more than enough money not just to relocate, but to change her life forever ... though at this point it’s very likely that lawyers will eat up a significant fraction of it. For those who are wondering, she apparently has financial advisors already, to help her manage this windfall from the attention market’s virality lottery. But this is about more than helping Shiloh: it’s about breaking the taboo, stripping the word of its power, and setting our culture free.
