The Benefits of Systema

I know that those people who have never trained with the likes of Vladimir Vasiliev, Konstantin Komarov, Sergey Ozhereliev, Vadim Dobrin, or the recently deceased Mikhail Ryabko, or some of their best students, all seem to think that Systema is fake and nonsense, but the reality is that I do not know of a single human being, regardless of their prior knowledge of martial arts, that has trained with any of the people I mentioned above that did not leave there thinking something like: “How the fuck did he just do that to me?!”

And I don’t know of a single person that has trained with them that thinks Systema is fake, or ineffective, or not able to kick the hell out of pretty much every other martial art I am familiar with given a comparable level of training in a comparable student. Yes the videos all look absolutely fake, but that’s because you don’t understand what you are watching. Systema drills are NOT meant to be realistic attacks. They are supposed to generally be either realistic movements in super slow motion, that can gradually progress in speed and intensity but only as long as the practitioners do not go into a state of “tension” that is fear, or desire to win, etc, as such emotions translate in telegraphing movement and stiff/tense movements that become easy to counter or take advantage of, or, drills meant to give you some discomfort and train you to breathe and move through them retaining a relaxed mental and physical posture, while performing whatever move is required to evade or overcome the drill.

I did karate-do in a very hard dojo for years and I was already a second Dan when I met my first Systema exponent in a training context, Val Riazanov, and I couldn’t touch the guy at all and he could do what he wanted with me. Similarly, after I became a Systema instructor I had everything from Boxers to ex-SAS to active soldiers asking to take me on in a more “realistic” way to test if it was all nonsense. Although I do not profess to be anywhere near the level of the exponents I named above, in every case, they very quickly decided I was absolutely not full of shit. This also included a couple of guys that had 20-30kg on me and worked as bouncers or bodyguards and had serious training in wrestling or other martial arts, I forget which, I think Krav Mama and some karate etc.

Anyway, the point here is not to try to brag, not about my skill, nor about Systema itself. The point is that the benefits of Systema go far beyond merely fighting or combat.

In some 3 decades of karate and delving into other martial arts from time to time, to test them, and myself, I had accumulated a variety of relatively permanent injuries. Impacted joints, an injured sternum which had also caused a semi-chronic stiffness in my spine on one side, various scar tissue that had accumulated from various muscle tears and so on. In my mid thirties I started to do Systema and by my early 40s I was healthier and fitter than I was in my thirties. Many of the injuries I had sustained re-presented themselves as I trained Systema then healed, almost miraculously.

Besides all of this, it had a profound effect on my psychology. It is a little know or acknowledged fact, that our connection between mind and body is far deeper and more important than literally any doctor has ever imagined, never mind spoken or written about. The training that you do in a martial art has a profound psychological effect too. Karate-Do is a hard style, and while the romantic theory behind Shotokan Karate-Do is that there is “no-contact”, the reality is that even in competitions, body shots are permitted and head shots are supposed to be “limited” but I had events where the opponent’s fist went past my head to the elbow, meaning if I had not dodged the punch he was trying to put his fist through my head. And in dojo kumite (the “friendly” sparring that happens in the dojo outside of any competitions) pretty much anything goes. You can literally bite a guy’s ear off if he doesn’t submit and no one will chastise you for it.

As a result, the mindset it fosters is a very rigid one. Flexible perhaps in how to go after a target, but the very idea of giving up is anathema. The ruling principle of Karate is: Failure is acceptable, but giving up, never.

In short, you can succeed or die trying. Nothing else.

Systema philosophy instead can be summarised as: Do the impossible, and survive.

Hence in Karate your value is zero. The mission is all. Honour is all. Death is irrelevant. Surrender or giving up is simply not an option.

In Systema your value is total. Win, achieve your goal, overcome impossible odds, but above all, survive.

After I had trained a few years I went to visit my brother in South Africa, and he noted in me a chance that surprised him to the point that he mentioned it out loud after a single day with him.

“What did you do man? You’re like a different person. A lot calmer, even if no less intense.”

I told him about Systema and as a result he went to do some of it with Vadim Dobrin, and I dare say that what he learnt with Vadim, saved his life at least once if not more times.

But now that I have passed the half-century mark, I do not burn with desire to lay out random street thugs, as I did in my youth, when I purposefully would walk around at 3 am through the parks and supposedly dodgy areas of London hoping for some unfortunate thug to pick me. That all said, if trouble comes looking for me, I am not exactly at the wheel-chair section of the “old-fighters” line.

However, I have realised that my lack of Systema specific drills for the last few years is something I need to change again and get back into training my body with those same drills and so on, because the benefits far outweigh the mild discomfort or time it takes to do them. In part I realised this thanks to rather strenuous pruning activity by climbing up and down trees for over a week. While stiff at first, thanks to doing the movements in a Systema way, several aches and pains have left me, and the more serious ones, the result of an injury from my stupidly lifting/shoving a 200kg or so stove into and out of a car by myself, have become more prominent. Which means either I need to see a good chiropractor first and then do the Systema training, or at least do the training. Again, the benefits I highlight are physical ones, but the psychological ones are really probably far more important.

Sylevester, the young guy who came to help me for a week has read my Systema Book and he was explaining to me how doing so had already helped him level up in his jujitsu class in a way that his training buddies couldn’t make sense of. It’s also helped him begin to understand his body and a muscle injury he had in his leg and shortened fascia he has in his feet. It was genuinely a pleasure to see a young man, learning such things so early in life and noticing how beneficial they are to him, but too the attitude he has fostered, which I am sure had its own inborn talent of course, but can only have been helped by the Systema training he learnt from the book, was really quite rare to see in someone that is just over 20 years old.

At one point, one of the branches he was standing on in an olive tree broke off underneath him and he simply fell to Earth as naturally as if he had chose to jump instead of been surprised by a suddenly broken branch.

These are the things you cannot prepare for and that Systema training gives you without you even realising it.

So, I shall begin to train again regularly, even as I continue to do a lot of physical work on the farm, as is required during spring.

I hope those of you who read here will also try to take an interest, as it truly is a beneficial system for your body, mind and soul. The recent sponsorship of the trees, forcing me to say more prayers, together with physical training to limber me up more, is truly quite a wonderful and life-affirming thing. I hope you try similar things in ways that work for you.

    Training in Hand to Hand after 50

    I received an interesting email from a reader of the blog who is also a Kurgan TV member, in it he mentioned how he felt his hand-to-hand skills were probably his weakest link.

    It is a sad fact of life (or maybe a divinely good one, it’s hard to tell while we are still roaming the Earth) that as you become older wiser your body begins to tell you that you no longer need to do all that physical stuff quite as energetically. It can tell you this in a number of ways, including failing you in ways that take long to heal.

    At some point, I would not want to get into a fight with a half-dozen twenty-somethings with my bare hands.

    I did once hold off about 25 “youths” ranging in age from I’d say 12 or 13 to 23 or so. This was in December 2015 so I was 45 already, but I had managed to get myself in a doorway, meaning they could only come at me at most 2-3 at the time and none actually stepped forward. If they had it would have been reminiscent of that scene from a Bruce Lee film. There were no camera in that particular spot of London and as some had bottles in their hands and such, it was likely some might have had knives too. If they had stepped forward I would not have held back with any strike at all and I would not have been concerned about consequences afterwards, as 25 people, even if untrained and pack-like can definitely kill you if you give them any leeway, but inside a gateway that was flanked by solid face-brick columns, I really was not worried. They clearly were as they repeatedly taunted me to try and get me to step out of the doorway, and I taunted them back about being weak little bitches who couldn’t take me even though they were a couple of dozens of them. One threw a bottle at me, which I caught and threw back, narrowly missing his head, but none of them ever stepped forward so after a while I just went through the gate and closed it behind me and went home.

    The mentality switches too though, even as your body changes, and as I get older, I think while on one side I’m not as prone to the impatience, and quick temper of youth, and will generally try to avoid issues before they even become issues, if I were forced into a situation now, I would be far less forgiving in my approach. I would be far more concerned with ending the threat as fast and absolutely as possible than whether the other guy would be able to walk or chew solid food again or how badly they might fall flat on the floor and never get up again.

    I learnt from 4 decades of martial arts that if I am injured or somehow limited, or scared for others near me, paradoxically, I become far more dangerous than if I am fighting fit and not worried about the confrontation. And an older guy is a bit like a wounded animal. He just wants to be left alone and if you attack him, well, he’s not going to play nice. At all.

    If you are only starting martial arts in your fifth decade, you need to approach it a bit differently. Train slower and do a lot more repetitions (ie the “boring” training that the young guys don”t like, but that is really how you develop a skill) and make sure your movements are correct and as perfect as you can get them while you do them at super slow speed in a controlled environment and progress to faster and harder only gradually and always keeping excellent form. A fitness regime to complement your training is also advisable and you need to figure that out yourself on the basis of where you are and what you wish to achieve.

    Nothing is impossible, there are 90 year olds doing 20 pull-ups a day, and there are 30 year olds that are obese and will almost croak of heart seizure if they have to run 30 metres.

    All that said, my dad, when he was in his 60s stopped an armed robbery. He did karate from a young age and was renowned enough in Italy that when I took a taxi to see his old Sensei in Italy, the taxi driver, knew who my father was by reputation alone. And he’d been away from Italy for over 20 years already. However, when faced with multiple armed robbers in a store, he did not rely on fisticuffs. He used his .45. And he didn’t just wave it about either.

    The point being the as you get older you need to adapt to your changing physical circumstances. If you live in a country where it is possible for you to get GOOD combat training with firearms, then do that. And become a regular. Most people, even “trained” ones, completely fall apart under real life scenarios, so your training needs to incorporate high stress and realistic situations within the realms of keeping safety standards too. And no matter how “realistic” training will NEVER get the adrenaline flowing like a real-life live or die scenario, but this is where obsessive repetition under as many different conditions as possible becomes paramount.

    These are just some general points. There are, of course, freaks of nature that will take healthy 20-something thugs out while they are in their 70s.

    A local man was in the newspaper because he saw two immigrants of African descent harassing a young woman, who was also an immigrant, but of European descent. The man was in his 70s but nevertheless confronted the two thugs, and when they thought they could get physical with the old man, he laid one out with a right cross. he’s been a semi-pro boxer in his younger days. The other thug ran away after he saw his friend hit the pavement cold.

    And I am aware of a little old Russian soldier kicking the crap out of two guys that were twice his size and mean, without breaking a sweat. So, while I hope to not have to deal with young punks in my 70s, if I do, I will be taking very much a more Jonah Hex/Punisher approach than a Batman approach.

      The importance of the “Placebo” effect

      What has been called the placebo effect is in reality something far more complex and interesting than you have been led to believe.

      And it has bearing on the current world situation to a very high degree.

      The conclusions I come to are going to sound “fantastic”, at least to those unable to do logic and/or research the factual information I present for themselves, so as to verify I am not making anything up.

      So, the approach will be to list a number of factual tests that have been done and have achieved the same results in a number of repeatable studies. Then I will present some additional information, usually not linked to the placebo effect at all, which will also require some research on your part in case you don’t want to take my word for it, which I always encourage you to do anyway. The research I mean, not taking my word for it. And finally I will explain what I think the placebo effect really is and how it works. And why it’s very important in the present dystopian reality we inhabit.

      What is the placebo effect? A basic introduction.

      The placebo effect is one that was noted by doctors when administering to a group of people some drug or medication that was supposed to make them better while administering to a control group sugar tablets or some other innocuous substance that did not contain the drug being used on the other patients.

      What was discovered is that those taking the sugar tablets or saline solution or water, or whatever absolutely drug-free thing was being given to them, still healed better than people who received nothing and sometimes healed better than the ones taking the medication. This was thought to happen as a result of “mind over matter” the people receiving sugar tablets were not aware of being the control group, so they thought they were getting better and this somehow made them better. Some extreme cases of this have been well documented in a book called the holographic universe.

      But if simple belief in a drug you were NOT being given could heal you, did you need the drug at all? So a series of tests with double blind situations were done. Over decades here is what the results showed time and again.

      • If the patients did not know who was receiving the placebo (non-active sugar pills or water, etc) and they believed they were getting the drug they healed better than people not receiving anything.
      • If the doctors administering the placebo did not know it was a placebo and thought it was an effective drug the patients improved too when compared to those who got nothing. In other words, the belief of the doctors alone transferred to the patients. And if I recall right, this was the case even if the patients knew it was a placebo but the doctors did not.

      So. How would classical materialistic based science explain this transference of “belief”?

      It can’t.

      How does the placebo effect actually work?

      Well. The Western version can’t. Unless you are familiar with at least some of the concepts discussed by Harold Aspen, Thomas Bearden, Michael Persinger and others and you are able to synergistically understand the links between them. You also need at least a rudimentary understanding of the physics of Burkhard Heim.

      In Russia however, this is understood far better and in short, the psychotronic healing chambers I discuss in my “fiction” work are an easy way to grasp the concept of how you can heal people by use of various electromagnetic/frequency/resonance fields which can be induced mechanically. And I have it on good authority that such psychotronic healing chambers actually not only exist, but have existed for a long time. Decades at the very least.

      The really important thing to note is that mechanical means of achieving such healing certainly may make the process easier and accessible to all, but they are not an absolute requirement.

      Everyone from Tibetan monks, who are more likely to be able to “activate” such responses from the body, to even people I know personally, have at times healed in ways that are thought to be miraculous. You could, in effect say that the placebo effect is the way science has discovered or measured the results that can be achieved with genuine faith.

      Of course, the danger here is that of falling into the trap of the unwashed, stinking, hippie masses of New Agers that will tell you if your child dies of cancer it’s because you and your child have negative vibes and don’t pray hard enough. Which is not just idiotic, bit also cruel in the way that only the truly uneducated ignorants can be.

      So, allow me to explain the mechanism in simple, yet hopefully also relatively complete format.

      My working hypothesis, which I have arrived at only after more than 15 years of practicing clinical hypnosis, is as follows:

      • Yes, there probably is some state of mind/frequency/prayer that theoretically could or can heal just about anything. I have written in some more detail on this concept of how to pray correctly in both my Systema book as well as as in Believe! and Reclaiming the Catholic Church. HOWEVER…
      • And it’s a HUGE however, there usually can be and almost always are, very real obstacles to your being able to achieve this specific state for any given thing. Particularly when it is of a huge importance like the health of your child and so on. The reason being that fear, desire, doubt, and so on are all counter-productive, and how can you NOT have all of those things when something really important is on the line?
      • In addition to the above-mentioned “states of mind” situations, there usually also are other physiological factors. Various blockages in your body which translate into mental counterparts. If, for example you have chronic tension in your shoulders and neck, you will have a corresponding mental mind-map that is similarly “fossilised” and thus unable to relax or otherwise assume the required physical state to produce the more etheric mental state (or electromagnetic field at the right frequency, if you prefer).

      In normal effect, the placebo effect is the residual or partial ability you unconsciously have access to, or rather, to be more accurate, that your body has access to (almost without your awareness of it entirely) in order to naturally heal itself. Being unconscious, your conscious efforts to produce the same result will generally fail, unless you have achieved a relatively high level of internal congruity which honestly, 99.99% of human beings never are even aware of, much less actively seek it.

      So what to do? And how do I know this anyway?

      Learning to control your own body internally is a good first step, but even after a couple of decades of martial arts or meditation or learning how to control your heart rate, breathing and so on, it will not guarantee your ability to enter the right frame of mind or physiological state.

      I know this because I have practiced martial arts for about 4 decades and hypnosis for more than 15 years. Hypnosis is intimately related to changing mental states and allowing your body to heal itself. Hypnosis goes beyond what most people assume is mere “suggestion”, which some interpret to mean “gullible” or weak-minded or something of the sort. All of which is nonsense.

      Everyone can be hypnotised. In fact animals can be too. Which is not to say that every hypnotist can hypnotise every person. But the state of hypnotic trance is not only achievable by everyone, but it has profound effects on us when used correctly.

      I have had patients that had visited up to 15 hypnotists, unsuccessfully, and smoked for many years, completely stop smoking after a 45 minute session with me. I have also seen the effects of hypnosis on the physical body, having experimented on this myself with regard to pain, scarring, healing of injuries and so on, but also on the bodies of others, from people that had MS to an accidental burn not evidencing as having taken place.

      There is also the work of Peter Garajev, which I discussed in some depth in my System book, which explains how our DNA can also be thought of as a sort of mini-wormhole creator for information. Which is why things like timeline and regression therapy in hypnosis work and can seemingly reach back in time and undo various trauma or alter the past consequences in how they play out here in the present and the future.

      The relevance today.

      If you have read/understood my previous post on the space of variations, and the Mandala effect possibilities you may have begun to understand, that there is certainly enough scientific evidence (and I mean that as ACTUALLY scientific, not circus-monkey, politically trained “science”) that as God on some level wishes us to be co-creators of reality, and as we are made in His image, and we do have creationary power to some degree, we may well be able to influence reality. Certainly, at the very least, as it pertains to our own health; and quite possibly in much larger ways too. Your absolute faith can and does produce results and you can verify this for yourself scientifically by keeping track of your own experiences. Learning to control your emotions will inevitably help in many other spheres of life too, as does learning to flexibilise your body physically, as the practice of Systema teaches with pretty much every drill. And for a push into the direction you want to go, you can also use hypnosis, either learn how to self-hypnotise, or take a session or more, as needed.

      In short, you have far more power over your own states of being than you have been led to believe.

        In case you had any doubts still… Why Graphene.

        As anyone who is not functionally brain dead by now knows, the genetic serums passed off as “vaccines” by the depopulationists contained graphene. And once you see what can be done with graphene, it was sort of obvious to me that at least in part, this was a way to get millions of test cases on which to experiment with all sorts of control technology. Technology that can hack your brain, and your DNA (this was published in March 2019).

        In fact I variously referred to the people who injected themselves with the serum as being equivalent to the human shields in the old PC game called Syndicate. In Syndicate, where you controlled up to four Cyborgs, you could eventually develop technology that produces a kind of mind-control tool that “zaps” normal citizens to follow your cyborg around, a useful thing to have, because the enemy cyborgs would now have to mow down layers of human shields before their mini-gun bullets hit your cyborg.

        In my own RPG Game, Surviving the Current Zombie Apocalypse, one of the Mutant abilities those who took the serums can have is described as follows:

        5G Connectivity – The mutant does not need a smartphone to receive news, entertainment and games. It’s beamed directly into his head. His level of control over this is to be referee determined. Drone Mutation – At certain times the mutant gets directed by a drone operator. The mutant will have no memory of what he did or for how long this took place unless he happens to have noted the time shortly before activation and checks it again after he is released from duty.

        Now, don’t get me wrong, I don’t believe they are there yet in terms of detailed mass control down to individuals thanks to the genetic serums. I think they are still working on that, but controlling crowds by directed microwaves is certainly already here and has been for decades. See Operation Crimson Mist in Rwanda. Oh, and by the way, the guy who wrote that was killed off. He had also exposed the utter bullshit story concerning who the perpetrator of the Port Alfred Massacre was. Bryant was a mentally handicapped guy framed for it, who was supposed to die in a fire. Instead he survived the fire. He “confessed” after being strapped to a chair and being “interrogated” for 3 days with 3rd degree burns.

        The stuff Joe Vialls wrote about I was familiar with myself from other avenues, so none of this is news to me. I have mostly been aware of all these technologies since the early to mid 1990s. This graphene latest round is the next step in the Satanic Pedophile Club’s wish to control the world at all cost, and more importantly, make every single human in it a literal slave to them.

        Does it sound insane? Sure. Is it? Sure, it is. They are in fact insane, which from the Latin, mean the opposite of healthy. They are a bunch of evil, corrupt, moral degenerate pedophiles, so, sure, they are far from well-balanced.

        Oh, wait… you mean the ideas presented above, along with all the facts that back them up if you can still do any logic or objective thinking? You mean people like me and Joe Vialls sound insane? Yeah… well, see, after more than 30 years being right every single fucking time when I come up with the latest “conspiracy theory”, which the rest of the world then quietly assumes as fact approximately 20-25 years later, I really don’t care what anyone stupid thinks. I really don’t. I never really have, but I used to think maybe a few could be saved. The last 3 years have mostly disabused me of that notion. You go right ahead and take your booster shots. Take all the ones that they had set aside for me too. You can never be too safe.

        The reality is that I am right about Mars. I am right about the antigravity machines, and I am right about the evil pedophiles that run most of the planet. I also happen to be right about Catholicism, about martial arts and a bunch of other stuff. But I am not telling you this to be glorified as some genius, smartboi(tm). Nope, believe it or not, you (more than likely) half-wit, I am telling you because some hopelessly hopeful spark within me, keeps thinking that maybe, just maybe, one of you stupid monkeys might just not inject your own child with some genetic serum and maybe that kid will grow up and find a way to be free. Free of all the human stupidity and human cowardice and weakness that surrounds us.

        Most reading this will shrug and do nothing and change nothing. Some will say I sound “angry” or “bitter”. Neither is true. At most I am slightly saddened at having to be on this planet with so many idiots. I mean, there are so many cool things I could be doing with just a small-ish antigravity ship and a few gauss rifles. So much space to explore. So many alien things to observe and study. And even here on this planet, if we were not constantly hamstrung by a small tribe of psychotic child-rapists, we could make this place so cool to live on.

        And even if it were wild and brutal, but natural, still, that would be light-years ahead of where we are now. I genuinely would prefer to live on a planet like the Xenozoic Era comic books, where humanity is holding on by the skin of their teeth and dinosaurs and all sorts of deadly things hide in the jungles all around us.

        Do you still doubt that they are out to get you? To destroy the very concept of family, which they already largely have? To destroy you and your loved ones specifically and particularly. That voting isn’t going to fix any of it? Do you really doubt these things? Or are you just to scared to face them?

        And the usual refrain: Oh, but what can I do? I am just one person.

        Listen up.

        Nothing, in the entire history of humanity, was ever fixed, improved or made better by a committee. It always, always, always, all, changes because of one guy. Just one. He may lead others, he may get help, others may even propel him forward, but it always starts with just one guy.

        I know I am doing precisely that. I am literally doing everything I do, from when I wake to when I fall asleep to try and ensure, in every way possible, that my children grow up knowing the basic utterly fundamental true things about life.

        Objective reality exists.

        Consequences for everything you do and don’t do exist.

        God is love and God exists.

        Life is hard and you can and will fail. Many times. Just get up again.

        Never, ever, ever, compromise yourself or sell out your principles. You don’t need to let them know what they are. You can let them think you have. You can lie to liars and cheat cheaters, but keep your own code yours; and true.

        Learn to navigate in this world of lies and shit. You can’t always stay clean, but stay you. Always.

        Family, the one YOU create, not necessarily the one you were born in, is the most important thing. Wether you’re a man or a woman, pick a wife or a husband that is willing to die for your children.

        And pick a wife or a husband that will be baptised proper Catholic if they are not already, and will die before even thinking about divorce.

        Be a good father or mother and a good husband or wife.

        Save your asshole parts for the rest of the world. At home, be good.

        Don’t ever give your power, loyalty, or trust to another human being that does not deserve it. Know that none really deserve it. And give it sometimes anyway, but choose. You choose. Not them, to whom and when and why. And know the answer to those things: The whom, the when, and the why.

        Honour matters. Even if they will all tell you and prove to you it doesn’t matter to them. Your word matters. Even if they prove to you a million times over theirs doesn’t. Learn to navigate them and their lies and dishonour, but keep your own honour and your own word. Not for them. For you.

        Love like a fool and hate like a madman, but be no fool and no madman.

        And in the heat and the alarm, my son, smile at death and danger in its teeth, and know God and know your father, dead or alive, near or far, will always be with you. You are never alone.

        And in the heat and the alarm, my daughter, do not fear, for God is with you, and know your father is with you, dead or alive, near or far, I will always be with you. You are never alone. So stay calm, see opportunity and seize it in whatever way you can, no guilt, no doubt, no mercy, no fear, no hesitation, and escape and survive. And when one day, finally, you too, come to an end; then don’t worry, you’ll only be coming home. And I’ll be there when you do.

        Do you teach your children? Do you know you would die for them in cold blood in a horrible way if need be? Do you know you’ll do whatever needs doing to see them grow free of the parasites hounding us and that have hounded us since we were born? Do you know you should and will and must have children and change this world? If your answer to any of these is no, or I am not sure, then, you, do not know God.

        Not at all.

        And what’s worse, you also don’t even know yourself.

          What 18-24 year olds need

          A couple of points of reference for context before I address the title of this post.

          1. Commenter Mark left the following on the previous post:

          “If we look at the Industrial Revolution etc, we see mostly low-IQ jobs getting automated… but current AIs are close to being able to automate a lot of ~100 IQ jobs, which will certainly pose more of a challenge to society (something something useless eaters something something depopulation…).

          Because AIs cannot think, however, ultimately humans will be needed to fix them. Care to guess whether our elites will realise this before it’s too late?

          Final thought: trust online will vanish when video AIs are perfected. Imagine both MSNBC & FOX swearing that THEIR version of the interview is the real one, and the other a deepfake. Or for that matter, me watching a Kurgan stream to see “you” declare yourself an atheist, whilst someone else watches the real one.”

          To which I replied:

          Yes, these issues are “REAL PROBLEMS” for people that are about 120 IQ or less. People like me understand something from two perspectives:

          1. Regression to analogue, human face to face, tribal, community systems of communication used by Cold War era spies and retrograding to not using any electronics beyond (maybe) a desktop to browse “current affairs” (current misinformation/propaganda), but in extremis even avoiding that altogether is a way of behaving that the globohomo enforcers will not know how to deal with and will ultimately fail at dealing with. You doubt it? See Vietnam. See Iraq. See Afghanistan. Or for that matter, see the Bundy Ranch when Federale turned up in 8 cars with guns and were faced with hundreds of cowboys with guns.
          Can they “git ya”? Sure. See Waco. See Ruby Ridge. BUT… anyone who has thought this through would be aware of those examples and have planned accordingly. Also, if SHTF to the point of a hot civil war, and that sort of thing going on, the defensive approach will also include offensive misdirections. Is it easy? No. Is it dangerous? Sure. But, can it work? Yes. If 90 IQ people on the other side of the planet can make it work, even 110 IQ people on this side can do so too.

          2. I have spent over 25 years in various African countries, been through at least one or two coups, massive rioting and changes of government, the collapse of Apartheid and lived in areas of extreme levels of crime that most human beings in the Western world simply can’t even imagine, never mind deal with. And guess what. The so-called super hi-tech US trained special ops people NEVER impressed me nor the people I worked with. It’s providential you posted this comment as it was going to be the next thing I address in future posts (as per my Covid Fatigue Post) and this makes a decent starting off point.

          2. This 17 minute video on Replika,

          which highlights even more starkly the current state of play in the AI business, the pit of despair of the young people it affects the most, and is primarily targeted to, and the outright greed and evil of the inventor and the people pushing it. It literally started from a ghoulish premise, launched itself into a parasitic spiral from the get go, and now is in a demonic/crushing the weak dynamic currently.

          3. The Current Zombie Apocalypse.

          I have, of course, discussed this at some length in various posts, but consider that today, the average young adult has been faced with:

          1. Constant social media upbringing, affecting their brain chemistry with dopamine and serotonin highs and lows as a result of purely manufactured artificial “content” online, which though not real, as in not in the flesh, has the same effect as if it were. And this has been by design, as various Faceborg whistle-blowers have explicitly clarified.
          2. They have been lied to on a global scale about not only all the same lies of history, both ancient and modern we GenXers were subject to, but additional super-emphasis on the absurd lies of :
          • Free Speech
          • Equality
          • Tolerance
          • Climate Change
          • Feminism
          • Girl Power
          • White Privilege
          • Endemic racism of Whites
          • There is only one race, the Human race
          • Violence is NEVER the answer (despite the fact that it has ALWAYS been the final answer throughout the entirety of human history, which is why governments try to retain a full monopoly on it)
          • Love is love
          • LGBTQ-Pedos are just like anyone else and their pedophelia is just another sexual attraction
          • LGBTQ-Pedos are born that way and this is why any who convert back to heterosexuality should be shut away and never heard from again
          • The Bible is evil and the Catholic Church is just a hive of Pedophiles (the Novus Ordo fake “Catholic Church’ is indeed, but that’s got nothing to do with actual catholicism, which has created the best conditions for human beings ever, in the entire history of mankind

          3. All of the above has been done to them with an economic situation and prospects for them that are even worse than what GenX was subjected to in our own young adult phase.

          4. Ubiquitous Pornography.

          Literally everywhere and a ridiculing of anyone even contemplating remotely the idea of marriage, children and a traditional family life. Why would you want that boring, vanilla life-style when you should be chasing Lamborghinis and a retinue of gold-digging whores right into sex-trafficking jail-time? The situation is dire in that the girls too are just as affected and many, especially in the USA will think nothing of “rainbow lipstick” parties, random hook-ups and so on. In short, the natural instinct for pair-bonding and K-selection reproduction strategy is intentionally, and quite successfully, being pivoted to r-selection version, with all the consequences of Mouse Utopia incoming at breakneck speed.

          Alright then, so WHAT do these poor young men and women need?

          I can tell you in a single sentence, but the problem is that most of them will do nothing about it. Many, if not most are functionally illiterate. Reading comes to them as calculus comes to the average Gender.

          They have very little motivation, fewer resources and they have been lied to on a scale that means they probably ignore most things regardless of who tells them what they can do to help themselves.

          So you still want it in a single sentence.

          Ok then. Here it is.

          You need:

          • To do some meaningful physical activity. Martial Arts would be top of the list for the males and Dancing (preferably of the classical variety, unfortunately the environment of such activities for girls is extremely degenerate, so a LOT of caution is required), learning how to play a musical instrument, long form writing, painting or some other artistic endeavour for girls. For Martial Arts, you can read this and apply the concepts in whatever martial arts class you can find near you. If you can’t afford to pay for classes, go ask anyway, any decent martial arts instructor will train people for free if they speak to him privately and he knows they cannot afford to pay full price. Usually he will ask some other kind of contribution, maybe you go in early to clean the dojo, or whatever. A young man who has taken this advice recently texted me the following:

          Maybe you’ll enjoy hearing this, I’ve been going over the Systema concepts again recently with the help of your book and applying it to my Brazilian jiu jitsu. Peoples takedowns if you don’t flinch/tense like a spastic are awful! I keep being able to take their back. Also keep getting asked if I do extra cardio. So I’m still an extreme beginner at Systema but it’s lending results

          • Read. And if you don’t know how to, LEARN. The best advice I can give you here is as follows: Dyslexia is largely bullshit and the result of being taught to read one word at a time instead of a single letter at a time to compose words. If you do it one letter at a time you can read anything. If you do it the other way, when you come across a word you never saw before your comprehension goes to shit for the whole page, paragraph or even chapter. One letter at a time is slower but gives you a huge advantage in comprehension. When you can read properly you can always speed up by learning how to speed read. Read a LOT of books. At age 12-19 or so I was reading on average 3-4 books a week. That’s not a lie and not an exaggeration or hyperbole. If you can’t afford to buy the books go to a library and use that. I read all sorts of stuff, from advanced physics and astronomy books to biology, to fiction, history, theology, and pretty much bunch of other topics. I will publish a list of non-fiction top books, but there is already a top list of fiction books here.
          • Interact with human beings face to face. It doesn’t matter how scared you are. It doesn’t matter if you have zero social skills. It doesn’t matter. Unlike swimming, if you try to interact with people in as normal a way as possible and fail, it will rarely get you killed, so you can try again, and again, and again, adjusting each time, learning each time, and gradually, as with anything, you will improve. It doesn’t matter how you start. If you’re an omega shut-in, start with a books club, or a martial arts class, or a yoga class, it doesn’t matter what. Go to a tango class and get really spun out. Just get some face to face time with other humans. If at all possible build friendships and have fun activities with them. I wrote a short but fun role-playing game precisely for this purpose, though most people assume it was some money-making thing. I assure you, the total revenue from selling a dozen of these books doesn’t even buy me a lunch. The cost is because it has a full colour art interior. The first module for those who don’t want to design their own adventure is not full colour interior.
          • Build up some kind of assets. Yes, the economy sucks. Yes, your savings may turn to Zimbabwean dollars from one day to the next. Nevertheless, get some kind of work and try, as best you can, to acquire some kind of property, even bare land is better than nothing. Keep in mind that you can buy run down shepherd huts with some land for under 30k Euro in various parts of Europe. I am sure the same is true in the USA and most places that are not Switzerland. Obviously, the more remote the place, the cheaper it might be, and the more difficult to build something on it down the line. But listen, when I was 26, I wrote the Face on Mars and printed it myself by using the printing machines of a printers throughout the night for a solid week. I only had a 1000 copies because that’s all I could afford to do and then I bust my ass going to sell them door to door at books hops to do signings that lasted a whole day. Carting the books and fold out tables and printing my own posters. Was it hard? Sure. But with he money from that I put a deposit down on a piece of land by the seaside in a remote place. more than 20 years later I sold it for over ten times the money I paid for it and used that money to put a deposit on the current place. And trust me, I am the absolute worst for long term asset planning. If I had given my future 10% of the attention I spent on so many other things, I would probably be comfortably retired now instead of struggling to reach month’s end every month. You can do much better than I did if you start now and keep this in mind.
          • Learn skills. Whenever possible learn a useful skill and try to get practical experience at it. Learn to weld, woodwork, do basic mechanics, basic electrical work, basic plumbing, basic building and farming. Learn to use firearms. And whatever else takes your fancy. I once had a Romanian girlfriend that had been a lingerie model who did not have a driving licence, but she had a pilot’s licence. She literally could fly a private plane, even though she did not have the legal requirements to drive a car, and had never learnt. It might be an odd thing, but she had taken the opportunity to learn when she could. That spirit is worth more than its weight in gold.
          • Learn about REAL Catholicism. Even if you are mostly illiterate, you can still pick up BELIEVE! which is a 2 hour read that has converted over 100 people. It doesn’t matter if you actually believe or not. The model is unsurpassed for creating successful communities, and frankly, also outstandingly heroic men and women that overcome absurd odds. So copy their template at the very least.

          LEARN ALL OF THESE THINGS AND BECOME GOOD AT THEM BEFORE YOU WORRY TOO MUCH ABOUT A LIFE PARTNER.

          The reason for this are multi-faceted.

          • You will prove to be far more attractive and worthwhile once you have mastered at least several of the items above. making it easier to attract and retain the person you find most suitable for you.
          • If you focus on getting a relationship when you have little to offer, even if your intent is good, the process of learning things while trying to maintain a long term relationship will add strain to it. While this can work to bring you closer faster, most women today will bail at the first difficulty.
          • Relationships are a complex minefield all its own and we will try o cover them in a later post in more detail. Besides, as you go about getting the above point into shape, you will invariably meet other people and you can begin to practice your in-person social skills there, even as you learn other things. Think more synergistically (how each skill set helps other skill sets) rather than sequentially (I must do A before B before C… etc)

          That’s it as a primer. The more comments, questions, etc I get, the more I can focus my subsequent posts to address specifics. I have received enough mail and advised enough young men to know what is required in generic terms, but I have no objection in principle to try to answer relevant specifics.

          I hope it helps, generation Zyklon. Now get to it.
