EBooks at the ready

In order to move away slightly from the sede on sede violence of the last posts, a quick question.

The Ebooks, including NAZI MOON, have now been done, along with some books that people requested for a while (like RTCC) but I was unhappy with the variation in layout. They will be available for Kindle, Apple Books, Kobo, Nook and Google Play from my E-Store.

HOWEVER, it will require you emailing the books to your device. It is not a difficult thing to do, you can usually just go to the settings of your kindle and it will show you what email you need to use, BUT, your kindle will only accept emails from registered addresses, so the Estore will not immediately be one that your Kindle recognises unless you add it to your approved email list on your devices in Amazon.

So you need to buy the ebook with the email you registered to your device So for example for an amazon kindle, this is usually the email you have registered with amazon.

You then download the ebook and forward it to your kindle email using your amazon registered email.

Like I said, it is fairly easy and many of you know this already, but that’s what I wanted to check. Please let me know in the poll below:

Do you know how to send an Epub file for your device to it already?

    What Next?

    There are three paths I can go down with respect to the next book I write.

    NAZI MOON (linked) is now available at least in the US and CANADA and should be available soon in other countries too.

    Do you Prefer I next write:

    I have been asked to do the relationship book by friends and men in general for years; at least 20 of them. I resisted the impulse* for at least a couple of decades, primarily because, as one of my alter egos/nicknames —given to me by friends in Italy over 20 years ago— said in one of the graphic novels he appears in: “Any man that says he has understood all there is to know about women, is either a liar or insane.” And it’s close enough to the truth in some ways. Nevertheless, I feel that after two divorces, a lot of women in between, and finally a proper Catholic marriage, not to mention 4 children I fathered, I have probably made —and persevered!— and (one hopes), learnt enough that it is probably acceptable to pass on a few pointers to younger men; at least on those issues I feel I have now got enough experience to retroactively note when I did the right thing (regardless of outcome), and when I did the wrong thing (again, regardless of outcome). I mention this, because as I say, there have been a lot of people asking me for this for a long time.

    With regard to my non-fiction, each book I have written so far, is really mostly a compilation of my theories and conclusions formed with many years of experience.

    The Face on Mars was the result of a lifelong interest in Astronomy from very early childhood. I understood what a light-year was at age four, thanks to an uncle who was, and remains, a total geek to this day. He also sent me a telescope in my early teens, with which I observed the mountains of the moon, and how the moon itself moved. I also saw Haley’s comet with it, from our home in Africa at the time. And to this day the concepts I put forth in that book were then, and for the most part continue to remain today, unique. Some have badly plagiarised aspects of it (hello Graham Hancock) but the overall main issue had not been understood by anyone I am aware of before I saw it. And most remain totally ignorant of it, despite the predictions and theories I made back in 1995, playing out as correct in the intervening time. The update in 2014 also added a new dimension to the reality of my ideas, which is partly expanded on a lot more in my fiction work.

    Systema was similarly, a book I wrote after I had personally spend decades in the martial arts world. And I wanted to demystify a LOT of the nonsense that goes with many martial art “concepts” and their related egos, and which —in particular— seemed to have a vortex of “mystic ninjas” concerning the Russian system. Which is an impression many martial artists might have if they have not experience of it firsthand. By merely watching YouTube videos or hearing “fantastic” stories of almost magical ability, they are most likely going to assume it is some woo-woo nonsensical “martial art”. That thought is disabused within minutes of confronting any of the top exponents of it. Unfortunately, as always, along with the really good practitioners, there were also a lot of “mystic ninjas” and some of the practitioners did nothing to demystify the situation, so I did it. I have been doing martial arts since I was a very small child, thanks to my dad, so I had pretty extensive knowledge of it before I put hand-to-keyboard after almost four decades of it.

    Reclaiming the Catholic Church was in some ways the “odd man out” because I had a road to Damascus Event in 2013 and the book came out in 2020, that is, only 7 years later. However, I had been reading different books on all the main religions, mysticism, “spiritual” and even New Age stuff, again, since my teens, and literally infiltrating various cults as a hobby, in order to see if anyone had anything that was demonstrably true, real, or worthwhile. I had settled on a basic Zen-Agnosticism, with a clear understanding there must be an intelligence behind creation (the math, astronomy, biology and physics, as well as logic, pretty much confirms it many, many, many times over) but no sense of a God as such that was specifically interested in us mere mortals, much less me specifically. That changed in a radical, unexpected and utterly surprising way, that while “subjective” in the sense that I cannot prove it to anyone else, was absolutely objective and very much so for me. The other part that helped was that because the Catholic Church has ALL of its rules and dogmas written down, it was fairly easy to follow the thread of its history and see the astonishing truth it is founded on. As it was, to see that the current inhabitants of the Vatican are, without putting too fine a point on it, flat out Satanists.

    BELIEVE! Instead, published a year before RTCC, was a much smaller work, putting out my new, or updated, basic outline philosophy. For those who have read both books, you will notice that BELIEVE! is not even a fifth of the size of RTCC, at just under 100 pages, and is a lot more open with respect to overall views and concepts. RTCC was the follow up that basically said, “OK, so that’s sort of where I am with respect to religion as a whole (BELIEVE!) now let’s take a look at this one path that I state is the best one I can see so far, and in this book, (RTCC), I went full autist, covering every aspect of Sedevacantism (i.e. the actual, current, only Catholicism left) and demonstrating it in a manner that no one has so far even attempted to refute, much less succeeded. The result is that RTCC is the foundation on which BELIVE! is really sitting on, which is probably why even if a much smaller and less detailed book, BELIEVE! has resulted in now over 100 people converting to Sedevacantist Catholicism (aka simply: Catholicism).

    The reason I point all this out, is because in these last two non-fiction books, it becomes obvious that even my overall looser and more generic ideas, as expressed in BELIEVE!, for example, clearly have had a lot of genuinely positive effects on people who read them. And we know it was this that sparked the results, because BELIEVE! came first, and yet, even without all the details (presented in RTCC), it had a serious impact on people’s lives.

    I see a LOT of confusion, struggles and heartache among young men today concerning intimate relationships and finding the right woman.

    I literally get questions, emails, or messages on the topic to a frequency that is starting to become hard to keep up with. And as anyone that reads my blog knows, I have a rather low opinions of PUAs, and would very much hate to be mistaken for one. That said, I know for a demonstrable fact that my advice benefits these younger men, because they are getting married, having babies, and resolving issues they had for many years of their lives. I have literally had everything from friends, neighbours and even strangers, asking for advice, on an ad hoc basis, to hypnosis sessions with people that were under clinical care as supposedly paranoid schizophrenics under medication that went on to stop the medication (yes with doctor approval and full knowledge of my sessions with them) and go on to have a productive life with a functioning relationship, when prior they were 29 year old virgins. And I have been doing this for at least 15 years, with positive results.

    So, perhaps, there is some utility in putting together some of the baseline concepts concerning male-female interactions and so on.

    The other options (SF saga continuation) or YA SF books are, respectively, more a divertimento for myself and, a less fun, but I think helpful addition to the current dearth of adventure stories for boys mostly. I am not aware of anything like the Hardy Boys and so on coming along anytime recently, which is why Castalia House is doing well printing old classics. I would not enjoy writing such books as much as my own adult Science Fiction, but it would not be too difficult to do and they should be able to be produced fairly quickly. Although, I am not likely to be acclaimed as a children’s author anytime soon, or even long after I am dust, so the effort might not be worth it.

    Anyway, I’d appreciate your thoughts on the matter, so please feel free to leave comments after you vote, thanks. 

    * Vox, on this post, referring to someone else, Taleb, in this case, said something that holds true for most of us. Personally I have always genuinely tried to resist the temptation, and often people have been quite “deflated” when trying to make me their “guru”, when, after being asked something I know little or nothing about or at least I don’t feel qualified to take a stand on, I simply say “I have no idea”. Some were quite insistent nevertheless and I always consciously dissuaded that, as I explained in some detail in my book Systema: The Russian Martial System.

      NAZI MOON OUT ON…

      Sometime between tomorrow and the 15th I think…

      While we wait to see if this revelatory 827 page doorstop of science fiction complete with antigravity ships, aliens, martian ruins, Nazis and their superweapons and mysticism and Russians and their technology and so on…

      In the meantime, you can go here and see if there is anything you need to get or gift (there is a gift option so you can buy any of the ebooks there for someone else). It’s a little sparse at the moment, but I am aiming to get a bunch of stuff on there properly formatted for kindles, before Christmas, including some of the titles that were not available as ebooks before. And since delivery is immediate by email, you have until the last minute to get them.

      The PDF games provided there have a long-standing traction with pen and paper role-players. I fully expect you guys to print them out after you get the PDFs, and enjoy playing them with your friends. Back when I started D&D, in deepest darkest Africa, getting any of the books was almost impossible and when one did, all of one’s friends would immediately find ways to get copies made, either at their parent’s business, friends who knew someone who had access to photocopiers and so on.

      I also plan to try and get Reclaiming the Catholic Church up as an ebook, but it’s a fairly big job, at 530 printed pages and in a format that does not lend itself very well to the kindle format, nevertheless, that’s the aim, after all, it is heading to Christ’s Mass, so… I should really see if I can do it.

      On that note, I will also be fulfilling my promise of dedicating a Mass to all those that supported the sponsoring of an Olive Tree with a Saint’s name for themselves or others or anonymously.

      Thank you all, and I’ll advise here as soon as NAZI MOON is out on Amazon, where physical copies of my books will remain, as well as when more ebooks go up at my store.

        Financial Collapse

        Do your eyes glaze over when some economist starts talking? Me too. Mostly because they talk absolute nonsense and lies.

        So let me explain a few things in a way we can all understand.

        The financial crash of 2008 was something I predicted way back in 1995 but I expected it to happen at around the year 2000 at the latest. I didn’t use complicated formulas to figure it out. I had simply played in the stock market for a little bit, made some money and realised how it all worked. It was, and remains, a giant Ponzi scheme build on the vapours of smoke and the imaginings of that vapour. The only thing I had not accounted for was the level of both human greed, dishonesty and general stupidity. I had assumed that even brain damaged lemurs that took a cursory glance at the stock exchange would conclude as I did. And whether I was wrong (I was) or not, surely, anyone sane would not deal in such things (o my naive youth). Instead, of course, no one cares it’s a complete fabrication for themes part, and fake, and fraudulent, and made up of smoke and mirrors. They all just keep playing and they all get more and more people in it. Which makes the Ponzi scheme last longer. But eventually, it has to blow up.

        The next crash, after that giant clusterfuck (which even if you only know the basics is ridiculously absurd) of 2008 was predicted (by bankers, this time, not me) for 2014-2015. And it didn’t really happen. Because guess what, whole governments were now jumping into the bandwagon.

        The 2008 crash was felt most not by wealthy or even averagely well-to do Westerners. It was felt by third world countries the most. Keep in mind that at times the interest rate in places like South Africa hit 25%. Yes, that’s not a typo.

        Places like Argentina in the late 80s and early 90s suffered massive crashes. So did places like Latvia. And they do not get a lot of publicity because it does not suit the “people” (indemoniated parasites) who run things to have you realise this stuff in any conscious way.

        But this is what it was like if you lived in one of these countries. Say you worked hard all your life and saved, maybe to buy a house or to get one for your children, you have the local equivalent of say 500,000 US dollars in your bank account, squirrelled away over a lifetime. Then you wake up one day and literally from one day to the next you can’t access your money at all. And not only that, but it is now devalued so that the 500,000 you had is now worth 5,000 dollars. I personally know people that happened to who are my good friends. Imagine for a second how you would feel.

        It really is a wonder that a lot more bankers have not been strung up from lampposts all around the world.

        And by the way, just so you know, that is precisely what they rely on. Between the faceless bureaucracy they present to the world, and your civilised behaviour, they carry on with impunity, because you’re just gonna bend over yet again and take it, and take it, and take it.

        Now, this sort of scenario has been pushed off from 2014-15 a few years, to 2020, then they created the genetic serum injection depopulation event and the Ponzi scheme suddenly went rage-steroid massive. So massive, and so fake, that apparently almost no one realises just how insane it is. They literally just decided to print many tons more money, and in fact, being as printing costs money and is kinda like, you know, work, they just added a bunch of numbers to some computers and gave out loans to governments and banks, and giant firms everywhere. In a way, this is “fine” since the whole fiat money thing was really a con anyway to a large extent. So now it’s like anyone with a shred of financial understanding just went:

        “Ah fuck it. Let the peasants “enjoy” a brief reprieve if they are even remotely capable, but only so they go along with the lockdowns, serum injections and chemtrail “climate change” depopulation agenda. And anyway, later we turn the tap off and let them squat like the new pigs in the giant favelas we are creating.”

        Now, we are not there… yet… but, and this is one aspect of WW3 most people have zero preparation for, I truly believe we will get there soon.

        For example, imagine you’r a Palestinian who was just minding his own business a month ago. All of a sudden, because Bibi either allowed or perhaps even created a false flag on Israel (the accounts of everyone knowing about it and the response being PREVENTED for six hours, are now high-on undeniable) you are suddenly without water, electricity or basic services and you’re getting the crap bombed out of you. That’s pretty sudden.

        But hey, it’s Palestine, right? Can’t happen near you, right? Well… have you seen what the streets of Paris look like lately? Or San Francisco? Or most big train terminals around Europe? How quick do you think those brown people —that you work very hard at not seeing the colour, incompatible culture and incompatible religion of— who have very little to lose when they are single, young men with no children or wives to worry or care about will keep behaving in a civilised manner when from one day to the next they have no money and no access to basic facilities?

        I mean, you don’t even have to go that far. Mass raids of shops, with semi-feral “Londoners” which all seem melanin enhanced, are happening right in Oxford street. With little to no consequences. And have been happening in American large cities for at least a year. And that’s now. When pretty much everything still works.

        But let’s say you planned ahead and are off into the countryside, not a vermin-infested giant city with potential zombies all just a hair’s breath away from turning on you and everything that is good and clean and edible. So you have a little plot of land, you’re fairly remote, but you still use the electric grid and water mains and you don’t quite manage to grow all the food you’d need to be self-sufficient (who does these days? Very, very very few small farmers can, if any). You have enough weapons to hold off a small army, especially if of mostly untrained zombies after easy prey. Even so, what happens to you and yours is suddenly all the money you have, whether in a bank or in cash under your mattress turns to zeros and toilet paper? What do you do? How do you survive?

        Quite a few of you, no doubt, if realistic, might be thinking about becoming less than lawful citizens yourselves in such circumstances. So imagine how less well-off, less intelligent, less civilised people might behave.

        But there is a way out… well, not really, more of a way in… but still. you could just take the serum, and settle for the basic universal income they will give you, wear only three sets of clothes a year, eat 3d printed “meat” and make do until the turbo-cancers get you.

        Welcome to the Brave New World Citizen. You can have your new name tattooed on your forearm. No longer John Smith, you are now Jon-O-Smit 998976. And your friend computer will direct you to the nearest euthanasia booth if you are feeling too depressed to continue.

        Sorry, Citizen, but in this brand new Alpha Complex, we are not using cloning technologies yet. there are still too many humans for the liking of the High Programmers… errr… and your friend computer has calculated the optimum number of people for this Alpha complex and it is minus eight hundred thousand, so do not fret, friend citizen, we will reach that quota soon with your help!

        You think I am just making funny references to the RPG called Paranoia, but tell me, citizen, precisely how is what we are heading towards any different?

        And, friend citizen, what are you doing about it? I’m curious and I’d like to know, to compare notes, so to speak, but then, so does friend computer, also want to know, so… yeah.

        It’s almost as if you’re secretly a mutant (your brain still works properly, for the most part) and also member of a secret society. And we all know that either one of those two things is reason enough for friend computer to have you self-report to the nearest euthanasia booth.

        So. Think about it. Think about how you would survive a sudden financial crash. And realise that this is why I do advise going off-grid as best as possible and as quick as possible. Short of massive armed revolution, becoming self-sufficient, at all levels, is the safest thing you can be doing right now.

          Surviving WW3 Long Term

          On the basis of the recent poll I got this request:

          Something Else – How to Survive Long Term in a WWIII Scenario for a married man with young children (Shelter, Food & Water, Surviving extreme Heat/Cold, Defense, How to keep your wife and children in good spirits, Not drawing attention to yourself, etc.)

          It’s a pretty comprehensive question and an entire book could be written about each of the topics, so my reply will necessarily be brief and somewhat generic, but hopefully still specific enough to make a difference.

          Good Spirits

          Also known as Morale, may be the most important factor of all. It certainly tends to be in most conflicts throughout human history.

          You should be aware of this, especially for your wife and children more than other factors. Consider: If you move to rural buttfuck-of-nowhere intersection and Hillbilly country, you might feel wholly relaxed that no one will waste a nuke or military to come steal your 3 goats and 15 chickens. However, your wife might miss things like actual shops where you buy food instead of have to skin and gut whatever you shot for dinner. She might even like to get a coffee at a cafe once in a while, frivolous degenerate that she is (joke! That’s a JOKE!). The rugged life of an off grid pepper that has his own bomb-shelter may be the stuff of manly dreams and boyhood joy, but generally is not seen in the same light by the gentler sex. So discuss these things and make sure everyone is clear on the difficulty and/or changes of lifestyle. Are there women out there that would love this life-style, sure. But they are a minority. And almost everyone likes hot water and indoor plumbing, and not freezing in winter. So, read my 4 part series on taking on clown world and winning (use the search me button on the right). If you do, you will see that ideally you need to pick your place on the base of the geography you want to have ideally. Although, for most people that is already set, it is not too late to make the jump now (it is likely to be more expensive if you want to do it quickly, as always). The factors affecting morale are endless, and even more so for women, so it is difficult to give sound advice to all. One lady I spoke to was having trouble being an hour or so away from her family in what is still a pretty civilised area of a very urban country. She had not been living further from her parents than a few minutes and the change was a shock. The rural area she was in was not remote by any means but felt like it to her and feeling isolated with small children made her days feel like an interminable Groundhog Day. So you need to consider these things and take them into account.

          Unlike men, most women will not be happy with an ideally fortified home in an ideal rural area, with a secure bomb shelter under the house, gun ports and plenty of weapons and stock-piles of ammo, food and clean water. Unless you have a wife like the one of the main guns-ho guy in the Tremor Films, what would seem to be ideal to a man is rarely ideal to a woman. She wants mani-pedi and spa locations nearby, a good hairdressers, nice friends to gossip and laugh with about the goings on in the town and their respective husbands and girlfriend’s love affairs and so on. Trivial nonsense that doesn’t matter in a hot war zone? You bet.

          On the up-side, it’s mostly because women like these things that we don’t live in a permanent hot war zone, for the most part. Because we men tend to want to please them. And do they appreciate our efforts to give them a poisonous Starbucks on every corner in lieu of bashing irritating neighbours over the head with a nicely shaped stick? Not even a Thank you, kind Sir, I tell you. It’s just the way they are. No point getting upset about it.

          So, the HOW you ensure good morale with your wife, is a giant minefield that no one on the internet can possibly navigate fully for you. I can only tell you to not ignore it, prepare for it, prepare her for it and consider that the things that are so significant to you that they may never even have entered your head all your life, might be extremely important for her. After all… she doesn’t even thing about Rome daily!

          Women are primarily solipsistic, so if they experience some discomfort, the Universe is out of whack and God should stop and make it right (through you mostly) and if He (you) don’t, then, you must be the problem. By and large. Your 14 hour days stacking wood for winter, pondering how to build a biological septic tank and your own solar panels, really are not as interesting to her as you would expect of any normal person.

          You need to have a very deep connection based on honesty with your wife in order to navigate this well. And keep in mind off-grid farming is brutally hard. And even harder with small children to look after. So, building your community, having one that is active and fun and good is very helpful. Having little friends for your children is also very helpful.

          That all said, I sincerely hope that your wife is good natured enough to be the kind of person that can read this entry and laugh, in unadmitted generic agreement with my caricatures. And more importantly, that she is smart and logical and objective enough, to realise that if and when the SHTF, she better be ready to take up a shovel and dig the dirt with you, and at minimum reload the rifles while you hold off the zombies, and preferably shoot some of them herself. How you find/foster/cultivate/generate that delicate balance of manicured nails, pretty, sexy dresses and chocahinos with friends with the realities of having your entrenched fall-back positions for the zombie apocalypse is a puzzle you need to figure out on your own. But figuring it out is VERY important, so don’t ignore it.

          Children can generally be kept in good spirits by simply spending time playing with them and teaching them things in good order. Which of course takes up a lot of time, but our children (the little ones) are learning from us all the time and actually enjoy being helpful. The two older ones may need ye old dad’s foot in the backside to motivate them, because they were raised outside of functional family structures, unfortunately, but they are definitely improving and will get there soon enough, and when they do the sense of achievement for them and us both is also an awesome feeling to have. So make the entire concept of having good morale a game you enjoy instead of a chore you dread.

          Not Drawing Attention to Yourself

          Better than that is being thought of well by your neighbours and community. Help the people near you and be friendly and genuinely a good guy. Of course, if and when the SHTF they will also all come looking to you for help, so you need to balance that. For me that is relatively easy. I am a misanthrope by nature and don’t like people much as a rule, but I am polite and friendly to everyone, until they give me reason not to be, then there is no mistaking who I am and what kind of level of “force” I can bring to bear if required. Generally, if people realise you’re a nice guy but have no hesitation in turning heads of bad guys into pink clouds at the drop of a hat, you get the right balance of helpful (and good) friends, and respectful strangers. The down side is that if and when they DO get organised to come for you, they will actually be a force that is organised and to be reckoned with. But that is my way, because it comes naturally to me. You need to find your own natural way and work your strengths and better your weaknesses. I am not particularly worried about organised roaming gangs of zombies, because if and when it comes to that, there probably isn’t a worse guy to go after in a radius that probably reaches the nearest army base. Even so, I have made good friends where I live and will help my neighbours if I can or when needed and they do the same in return.

          Shelter, Heat and Cold

          Obviously, your primary home needs to be suitable for wherever you have chosen (or are forced) to live. I tried to pick a place that is not too extreme one way or the other, but in reality, it gets snow in winter (which will probably only increase over time) and is a bit too hot in summer with a lot of attendant bugs in all seasons (flies and mosquitoes in summer and stink bugs in winter). If the weather changes drastically here, a greenhouse will become a requirement (and I plan to have one anyway at some point) and livestock might require better shelter, but your primary shelter and provisions for heating in cold climate is obviously a priority that needs to be faced and that you need to be ready to address in a grid down situation. If not, I suggest you move! It is a lot easier to survive hot places than cold ones. I have plenty of wood to last me literally years and I installed a large wood stove that can heat the whole house and also be used for cooking (not as quickly as the gas stove, but in an emergency, the house remains liable and we can still cook food even without electricity or gas).

          The next big item if electrical independence. the easiest way to have some of this is to have a generator and some fuel set aside. It is however a temporary and not a long-term solution. You eventually want to get at least enough solar panels to run your fridge and a couple of lights and at least one or two power tools at a time.

          My gasifier project was meant to do this by providing wood to fuel a gasifier that could power a generator, meaning I would not have to rely on petrol. That project, however, has so far been a failure. Which is not to say it is impossible, only that the effort required to make it work in the first place is a lot more than I thought, and more importantly, the effort required to keep it functional if you get it working might be even an order of magnitude higher. That said, I still want to provide value to the people that supported the project, so I am looking at alternatives ways to at least give them something that might be of use or interest for them.

          Conclusions

          Overall, the main issues are to create a home that is self-sufficient in terms of the basics: Water, heating, food, electricity, and sewage processing.

          If you have achieved that, 90% of your problems are taken care of. After that it’s just being able to maintain and even improve on things as you go and preparing with better shelter, better community engagement, better weapons, better food stockpiling and even alternatives to using cash and especially digital money. The economy WILL collapse at some point, it’s not an if, but a when, and when it does desperation will drive people to accept whatever draconian slavery will be imposed on them. The whole point is for you to be able to survive completely apart from that, and in turn be able to inspire and help others near you do the same.

          If you saw the recent (2020) series based on the Brave New World of Aldus Huxley (and with he same name) you want to be one of those “troglodytes” living outside of the “utopic” city. And you certainly don’t want to end up caught by them and influenced and ultimately caged by them in any way. Ultimately, you want to be able to roam free and either KEEP them all locked up in their cities, or have their cities crumble to dust with the architects of them buried under them.
