The Detroit enclave was initially the most important of these. Bloody anarchy had reigned among the survivors in the Detroit area for
several weeks after the nuclear blasts of September 8. Eventually, a semblance of order had been restored, with System troops loosely
sharing power with the leaders of a number of Black gangs in the area. Although there were a few isolated White strongholds which kept
the roving mobs of Black plunderers and rapists at bay, most of the disorganized and demoralized White survivors in and around Detroit
offered no effective resistance to the Blacks, and, just as in other heavily Black areas of the country, they suffered terribly.
Then, in mid-December, the Organization seized the initiative. A number of synchronized lightning raids on the System’s military
strongpoints in the Detroit area resulted in an easy victory
The Organization then established certain patterns in Detroit which were soon followed elsewhere. All captured White troops, as soon as
they had laid down their weapons, were offered a chance to fight with the Organization against the System. Those who immediately
volunteered were taken aside for preliminary screening and then sent to camps for indoctrination and special training. The others were
machine-gunned on the spot, without further ado.
The same degree of ruthlessness was used in dealing with the White civilian population. When the Organization’s cadres moved into the
White strongholds in the Detroit suburbs, the first thing they found it necessary to do was to liquidate most of the local White leaders, in
order to establish the unquestioned authority of the Organization. There was no time or patience for trying to reason with shortsighted
Whites who insisted that they weren’t “racists” or “revolutionaries” and didn’t need the help of any “outside agitators” in dealing with
their problems, or who had some other conservative or parochial fixation.
The Whites of Detroit and the other new enclaves were organized more along the lines described by Earl Turner for Baltimore than for
California, but even more rapidly and roughly. In most areas of the country there was no opportunity for an orderly, large-scale
separation of non-Whites, as in California, and consequently a bloody race war raged for months, taking a terrible toll of those Whites
who were not in one of the Organization’s tightly controlled, all-White enclaves.
Food became critically scarce everywhere during the winter of 1993-1994. The Blacks lapsed into cannibalism, just as they had in
California, while hundreds of thousands of starving Whites, who earlier had ignored the Organization’s call for a rising against the
System, began appearing at the borders of the various liberated zones begging for food. The Organization was only able to feed the
White populations already under its control by imposing the severest rationing, and it was necessary to turn many of the latecomers
away.
Those who were admitted—and that meant only children, women of childbearing age, and able-bodied men willing to fight in the
Organization’s ranks—were subjected to much more severe racial screening than had been used to separate Whites from non-Whites in
California. It was no longer sufficient to be merely White; in order to eat one had to be judged the bearer of especially valuable genes.
In Detroit the practice was first established (and it was later adopted elsewhere) of providing any able-bodied White male who sought
admittance to the Organization’s enclave with a hot meal and a bayonet or other edged weapon. His forehead was then marked with an
indelible dye, and he was turned out and could be readmitted permanently only by bringing back the head of a freshly killed Black or
other non-White. This practice assured that precious food would not be wasted on those who would not or could not add to the
Organization’s fighting strength, but it took a terrible toll of the weaker and more decadent White elements.
Tens of millions perished during the first half of 1994, and the total White population of the country reached a low point of
approximately 50 million by August of that year. By then, however, nearly half the remaining Whites were in Organization enclaves,
and food production and distribution in the enclaves had grown until it was barely sufficient to prevent further losses from starvation.
Although a central government of sorts still existed, the System’s military and police forces were, for all practical purposes, reduced to a
number of essentially autonomous local commands, whose principal activity became looting for food, liquor, gasoline, and women. Both
the Organization and the System avoided large-scale encounters with each other, the Organization confining itself to short, intense raids
on System troop concentrations and other facilities, and the System’s forces confining themselves to guarding their sources of supply
and, in some areas, to attempting to limit the further expansion of the Organization’s enclaves.
But the Organization’s enclaves continued to expand, nevertheless, both in size and number, all through the five Dark Years preceding
the New Era. At one time there were nearly 2,000 separate Organization enclaves in North America. Outside these zones of order and
security, the anarchy and savagery grew steadily worse, with the only real authority wielded by marauding bands which preyed on each
other and on the unorganized and defenseless masses.
Many of these bands were composed of Blacks, Puerto Ricans, Chicanos, and half-White mongrels. In growing numbers, however,
Whites also formed bands along racial lines, even without Organization guidance. As the war of extermination wore on, millions of soft,
city-bred, brainwashed Whites gradually began regaining their manhood. The rest died.
