The Lies You are Told

Some years back I did a video on the Lies You Are Told in general History, and more recently on Kurgan TV I did a series (which I will pick up again soon, on the more specific lies of history starting with pre-history really and eventually working my way to the present day (all in due course).

And of course, if you read this blog, you are aware that for some 30 plus years, all the supposed “crazy” theories I held have, over time, been proven to be absolutely factually correct. It’s not because I am some oracle, it’s just I pay attention to things, can do basic math and logic and have had to deal with the rabid flying monkeys some people refer to as Journalists and the Mass Media in general.

By now, anyone that trusts a Mass Media Outlet can be considered to essentially be a full-blown Zombie.

You always need to interpret newspapers, TV news, and so on as being the lowest form of crack-whore and deceiver, who probably worships Satan in their spare time. And I apologise in advance to crack-whores for the comparison.

As long as you do that, you MIGHT be able to understand the truth behind their obfuscations, and can then confirm it by researching a topic on your own.

But the problem has been so pervasive and for so long, that people are essentially anaesthetised into believing “official sounding” or “authoritative sounding” or “famous person speaking” or “super rich person speaking” as being “true”.

And not only is there no correlation whatsoever between truth and those categories of people, but if there were to be a correlation, you may find it is negative.

Let me highlight a little bit what I mean.

Take Steven Bartlett and his podcast.

Steven is clearly an intelligent guy and he made a lot of money. I also found out recently he comes from Botswana, which made want to say ‘Hey! Give me five, man!” Since I grew up there. He is a lot younger than I am and a millionaire, so despite the originally smaller group of people that used to live there, I don’t believe our paths or even our parent’s paths ever crossed while I was there. But it’s always nice to know that someone that comes from or spent some time in the same little-known area as you, did well for himself. It genuinely makes me happy for him, and even makes me a little “proud” as silly as that sounds given I had nothing to do with his success and that I don’t know him at all; but it’s still a fairly common human response.

His podcasts are genuinely interesting in-depth interviews with pretty extraordinary people, and definitely entertaining. Steven himself appears to be a very decent person too and although I never met the guy, it is obvious he is extremely well-read and at least a couple or three standard deviations north of normal IQ.

That all said, his guests, which cover a very wide range but are usually experts or wealthy men and women in their field, are, as I said, genuinely interesting, but even so, there is an overarching veneer of respectability that is to a certain extent rooted in falsity.

And I absolutely do not mean to imply with this that Steven is in any way trying to do anything other than get to the real truth of very interesting topics. I genuinely believe he really is interested, and he really is trying to get to the bedrock of truth of whatever he gets interested in. I realise his podcast to a certain extent is also a “performance” and like all of us he has a “mask” to some degree or other, but I have spent enough time watching a half-dozen or so of his podcasts over the last few months that I am confident in saying that if I had to judge him, with a gun to my head, I would say he is likely:

  • Honest
  • Principled
  • Truth Seeking
  • Interested in People and their well-being
  • Self-motivated (very much so)
  • Confident in practice, yet has a core deep down that may still wobble internally
  • Very intelligent

If I were really pushed I might also say that if absolutely forced to, I would likely bet that he is no stranger to the female of the species, and probably indulged quite a bit before (I think?) apparently settling down with one girlfriend.

I would guess he is mostly (and honestly) agnostic religiously speaking (as was I for most of my life) though I am unaware of his position at all on the matter and if he has said what it is, I have no idea.

So, all in all, my point is that I absolutely and genuinely expect that Steven tries to put out information that is truthful, practical and useful for as many people as possible. I have nowhere near his reach, wealth or effectiveness, and our styles of presentation are probably almost diametrically opposite, and he is without any shadow of a doubt far, far, far more polite and, shall we say: “professionally spoken” than I am, but at core, I recognise the intent is very similar. If we figure out something important or that might be good for other people, we genuinely want to spread it, aside from any money or commercial considerations. Which yes, we may indulge in to some extent or other, but really is not the primary motivator at all. We all have to eat and he does his podcasts for free, and if I had his money, I might even produce my books for free too.

This long intro, is not to suck up to Steven, I am fairly sure he will never have any interest in interviewing me, if he ever even came across me for my ideas. I present it because I want to be absolutely clear in how you are personally being deceived, and how people like Steven have (in my opinion) genuinely ZERO interest in trying to intentionally deceive you, and yet, the zeitgeist of the world is such that deception is baked into the very fabric of almost any information you consume.

Allow me now to use Steven and his (most excellent) podcasts to point out what I mean.

Let’s start with Scott Galloway and the podcast I saw in full of him, here:

Now, before you get all concerned, please don’t worry about me, my sex life is great, as the three children we have had in the last 4 years should prove. But I know a LOT of younger men are having a bad time of it, which is why I get emails and I try to comment on the topic when I can. And why perhaps I have some success at this, since at least 3 young couples in their early to mid 20s that came across my ideas over the last couple of years are now happily married and working towards their first babies. So I thought I’d listen to what some other supposed expert in the field had to say.

And if you listen to the podcast, Scott makes quite a lot of valid points, then at some point (about halfway or so on) he kind of goes completely off the rails by presenting and baking in his viewpoints of politics. He literally says Putin is a murderer, Trump is a criminal and essentially saying parents that decide to give hormone treatments to their children for the eventual sexual mutilation that is known as “transgenderism” are you know… normal, instead of the child-abusing freaks they are. He repeats some of these absolutely insane points along with the idea that Ukraine is winning the war against Russia. I mean, anyone that really thinks Russia is on the ropes and thinks this as of 1 month ago, is clearly either doing a lot of heavy drugs, or is completely delusional.

Once you become aware of this and you rewind and listen to his “good points” you then realise that they too are somewhat tainted. Notice how he says that masculinity needs an update basically. Because you know, things that literally worked and created civilisation for thousands of years are somehow now suddenly “bad” because of technology and our supposedly superior brains of the modern age. That modernism is great theme is one we shall return to again, both in this post as well as in general.

I have already described how the mechanisation of humanity as a direct result of protestantism and the much vaunted “protestant work ethic” which came about due to the industrial revolution is really a Satanic and dehumanising principle. Something Steven instinctually (if not intellectually yet I believe) grasps, since if I remember well, I heard mention of the fact that he has a rule of no meetings before 11 am. Meaning he has already shaped his work as he wishes more or less instead of necessarily as is demanded by “the world”.

So let me make a stark comparison of two hypothetical worlds, and you tell me, if you are a man, which world you’d prefer to live in.

Scott world: You can “transition” your child to a “different” sex by mutilating him/her and giving him/her physical irreversible operations to do so perfectly legally and the zeitgeist accepts this as normal. One parent only can force this on their children and the other parent cannot prevent it. LGBT Pride Parades are a normal part of life and naked, sexually suggestive, adults can take part in these in front of small children without any repercussion. LGBT agenda in schools is considered part of normal education, and transexuals that may be convicted pedophile in drag can always read to small children in libraries, along with possible displays of hardly covered genitals. You are not allowed to respond to ANY verbal statements with ANY physical violence, no matter what. You are not allowed to respond with deadly force even to an attacker, no matter the circumstances, without undergoing at minimum a very lengthy and expensive trial with economic, social and possibly physical (incarceration) effects even in the best of cases. Weapons are limited to ownership or use only by police/military, and thus the use of force is mandated only for specific government employees. Any physical altercation of any nature whatsoever results in automatic assault charges for at least one and possibly both parties. Martial arts are heavily regulated and practitioners are considered as “dangerous”, so if they are EVER in any physical altercation, they are considered as unfairly “armed”. Physical restraint of even a violent home intruder is considered kidnapping and not permitted.

NOTE: EVERY aspect of Scott World is currently a reality in at least some countries around the world. All the LGBT Stuff in most of the Anglo-Saxon world and the gun stuff in the Anglo-Saxon world outside of the USA for the most part.

Kurgan World: Any form of “transitioning” is outlawed, regardless of age. Psychological counselling is offered for people with sexual dysphoria. Homosexuality is not permitted to be taught in any fashion as being “normal” or natural, since it obviously is not. And “pride” parades are not permitted by law, nor is proselytising of homosexuality. Homosexuality itself is not specifically outlawed, nor punished by law, however any public displays of it would fall under an obscenity law (say a fine or so depending on the severity of the display). Any homosexuality performed on anyone under the age of at least 18 (and preferably 21) would also be considered a crime, similar to having sex with an underage person. Any doctor that performed un-needed surgery on people who wish to be amputees, would be incarcerated for intentional grievous bodily harm and mutilation of another, and obviously stripped of their medical licence. Men who chose to settle their differences by unarmed combat are not subject to any prosecution as long as both agree to the fight in front of witnesses and do so away from public areas. In the event that a physical attack on a man is launched in public, for whatever reason, he has the absolute right to defend himself with force. The force should generally be appropriate to the attack, but in any legal disputes on the matter, the erring should be on the side of the victim. So, if a 6’3″ 250 lbs bodybuilder violently attacks and sustains that attack on a 5′ 120 lbs guy, and that little guy draws a .45 colt and places three rounds in the bodybuilder’s head, eh… good shooting Tex, is about all he’d get from the cops. If the last two rounds where after the bodybuilder had already hit the floor and was lying in a pool of his own blood, yeah… maybe Tex loses his gun licence and gets some community service. Anyone braking into your home, armed or not, who gets shot dead or shot wounded and/or crippled is not going to get to sue anyone for anything. Cops do NOT get special treatment for unlawful behaviour, and any citizen can make a proper citizen’s arrest just like any cop, as long as he is following the correct procedure. Concealed weapon carrying is permitted to anyone who applies for it formally and has not been charged previously with some firearm or general violent crime offence. Drink driving results in immediate loss of licence, and have to do community service along with a doctor’s note certifying the man has attended AA like meetings for an uninterrupted 6 months, before he is allowed behind a wheel again, with a licence with a single point on it from then on. Meaning any infraction results in loss of licence and similar situation for a year before he gets it back. Third strike and he’s out of driving for good. Public indecency, obscenity, or extreme vulgarity is punishable by law, as is public blasphemy of the national religion. Persons in position of authority or public officials (government employees) who perform criminal acts are punished more severely (generally double the sentence of a normal citizen at a minimum). The death penalty exists and is swift and efficient for certain crimes (child rape or murder, murder without any mitigating factors, imprisonment with aggravating circumstances [e.g. imprisonment for the purposes of rape, torture, sexual trafficking and so on]). Generally the breaking of agreed upon contracts incurs quite stiff penalties, and the principles of Roman Law apply (Principles guide, specific cases are judged on an individual basis based on their specifics). The murder of a confirmed rapist of a child, by literally anyone, but especially anyone connected to the child by friendship or family relationship, is not considered a crime in itself, but if done in public would fall under the obscenity laws and one may face punishment for it. Unprovoked assaults of anyone, regardless of sexual orientation, sex, religion or ethnicity, is subject to stiff penalties and these are enforced.

Those are your choices. Let’s ay you can only pick one of them and there is nothing in between. I genuinely am not aware of anyone actually male that would pick Scott World. Are you?

You see, there is literally NOTHING WRONG with men resolving their differences with some sensible but brutish violence. In fact, it would really resolve a lot of the world’s problems if that was returned to. It is only the Scotts of this world that disagree with it. And once I heard his take on the whole “transgender” child mutilation thing, I became instantly aware that Scott must have probably been a member of a tribe that seems to think it’s ok to foster that kind of thing on Europeans, although they tend to reject it in their own societies. So I decided to google him. And wouldn’t you know it…

Early life and education

Galloway grew up in Los Angeles, California. His father was a Scottish immigrant to the United States who worked as a sales executive. His mother, a Jewish emigrant from London, England, worked as a secretary.

Yup, just as expected. Yet another Cohen-cidence. That now confirmed fact wasn’t even remotely in the back of my mind while I listened to the podcast with Scott, until I noticed a pattern that is now fairly obvious not just to me, but to most people that are paying attention now, and that is: whom, exactly, pushes which type of narrative.

And the guy is planning to write a book on Masculinity. Yeah. Good luck with that. You might as well read a book on mental health and not being an egomaniacal globalist written by Jordan Peterson. Oh… Wait…

But if you were to just gloss over his trangendersim nonsense, or his absolutely deluded take on Ukraine, or Trump for that matter, given that Trump, like him or hate him has had investigation after investigation pushed on him, and came out squeaky clean every time. While Biden, literally can’t complete a full sentence, is incontinent, has all the behaviour of a long-standing pedophile, has molested children on camera under the guise of… what? Sniffing them? As if THAT was acceptable? Is a known taker of monies from foreign interests he was absolutely not allowed to take money from, is a certified blackmailer, and has covered up for his drug addicted, pedophile son, in every way possible. And yes, Hunter Biden is a pedophile, the images and video from his laptop, which are now confirmed beyond any doubt as being real, even by the fully partisan FBI on his side, demonstrate this without any possibility of doubt. But Trump is the criminal. And Putin a murderer. According to Scott. Right.

Ok, then, that’s sort of an extreme example though right? Not really. Steven does not challenge Scott on any of these absurd points. To be fair he doesn’t agree with them either, but you can see the wisdom of the Romans now surely, yes?

Qui Tacet Consentit – He who remains silent consents.

And that, like it or not, is really the truth of the matter. I have no idea if Steven agrees with Scott on transgenderism, Trump and Putin. I suspect probably and mostly not. But under the veneer of wanting to be civilised, Steven remains silent. Then again, Steven is far more British than I am and I am far more African savage than he is, despite initial appearances. I would have laughed in Scott’s face and forced him to prove his ridiculous assertions with any facts he thought he had, just so as to expose him to global ridicule, not just my own.

My interview skills would be kinda more like this:

Do I mean to say that Steven is allowing lies to propagate if he doesn’t agree with my take on things? No. I am saying that the lies are so enmeshed in the current zeitgeist you need to be consciously awake to see them, because we have started to accept complete nonsense as if it had any basis in reality. Like math being racist. Men being able to get pregnant and “trans women” being real women. Or 2+2 being anything other than 4.

Let’s take now a completely different podcast, in case you are about to start accusing me of being an indefatigable noticer. Let me pre-empt you: I am. I notice. I pretty much always notice, sooner or later.

Let us look now at Bryan Johnson

Bryan is obsessed with immortality. It’s sort of a clikbaity reductionist sentence, but as far as normal humans go, it’s a fair assessment. The man has gone to absolutely incredible lengths to try and figure out how to reverse and slow down the ageing process. From a scientific standpoint it is absolutely fascinating, and he puts all the information out there for free for everyone. Even though the man is a self-made multi-millionaire, it is absolutely clear he is not primarily motivated by money.

In fact, by his own admission, he struggles to get his main point across, which —if I understood him at all correctly— is primarily that our future could and would be so far removed from what we think we know now, that we might as well be Homo Erectus a million years ago, trying to conceive of us and our technology today.

Bryan has done some incredible studies on the human body and brain and created a helmet that gives you instant brain feedback. I sure would LOVE to have one of those, and he has figured out that one of the very best things you can do for your health is eat a tablespoonful of extra virgin olive oil at every meal. I kinda knew proper olive oil was good for you to begin with, but his scientific and obsessive approach allowed him to realise it really is one of the very best things you can do for your body.

And as it happens, my own olive oil, cold-pressed, unfiltered, and without any kind of screwing around with it, literally happens to have been voted the best in the world bar none, for two years in a row.

And I could relate absolutely when he was saying that the stuff you buy in shops is not really proper extra virgin olive oil. He’s right. But he only sells the good stuff. And mine definitely qualifies. So, hey Bryan, if I can be your oil guy in Italy, please get in touch.

Does Bryan lie? Is he deluded? No, I don’t think so at all. I think Bryan is not neurotypical, but then, neither am I. He is absolutely driven and I may be wrong, but I don’t even get the sense that he is necessarily terrified of dying. He might be, I can’t say for sure, but I sense for him it might be more of an intellectual challenge. His main take seems to be: Look, no one knows a damned thing. We are monkeys scratching in the sand. So I want to figure out how it actually works. In a very undeniable way the man is a genius.

And like perhaps all geniuses, he might go down a road that really benefits mankind, or that creates unmitigated disaster, no one really knows. I don’t believe Bryan is looking to create a bad outcome for anyone, quite the opposite. I really think he is at heart, a very honest, curious, intense person of probably impeccable integrity. We neuro-a-typical freaks tend to be too interested in our own little projects we obsess over to have much room left over in our ever-spinning brains for deception. And in that sense, I recognise Bryan as a fellow freak. I don’t have his money, perhaps not even his drive, though I think I do, it’s just that mine was in different and perhaps multiple directions, and I achieved different things. He made millions, I learned to disarm people with loaded guns and probably handle myself very well in any physical confrontation throughout most of my life, and hopefully still some way into the future too.

To be perfectly honest, Bryan’s end goal of increasing longevity is only somewhat interesting to me. I like the idea of being physically more able than I have been lately, given my back injury, niggling knee injury and overall decline in health after catching Covid and then two pneumonias. He does freaky things like inject himself with things I am not certain might not impact his genetics permanently, but I would bet money he didn’t get Vaxxed either, just like me. And I would be shocked if I was wrong about that. I like the idea of being able to be fit and healthy right up to the day I drop dead, but I am not particularly against dropping dead. The biggest issue I have with death is that I started to make children late in life and I am curious! I want to know what happens with them and their children and their grandchildren. But if I am right about what happens at death, if there is any way to be, and I think there would be, some part of me will likely be quite aware of it, for quite some time anyway. Aside missing out on more time with people I love, death has never held any fear over me. And I faced it several times in situations I was sure would be the end at the time and I never flinched, so I’m fairly sure I’ll be ok on the day.

Philosophically I also think that death is probably necessary, and ultimately a good thing, in the normal affairs of a good life well-lived. Of course it feels absolutely tragic and unfair and evil when it happens in unexpected ways to people who we are sure had a lot more to offer or had such horrible ends. But my point is not that Bryan is in any way a bad guy or a liar, I am as reasonably sure as a person can be from watching a couple of hours of one podcast of a person that Bryan is probably a very honest and earnest person. It’s just that his whole fascination/obsession, while absolutely valid, as is any topic of genuine scientific endeavour that is not actively harming anyone else (Bryan experiments all his stuff on himself first and one volunteer so far I believe), and while I can be fascinated by the science and details of it, personally, the search for immortality, or even just life extension by a hundred years, is not something that keeps me particularly interested in se.

Furthermore, the people who ARE interested in it are possibly the very worst elements of humanity. Can you imagine another century under the incessant egomania of the Boomer generation? The recurring politicians passing the baton amongst each other for generation after generation, like the Italian politicians did from the close of WWII until their death from old age? It’s enough to send a shiver down your spine and pray for nuclear war or rogue asteroids.

My point here is that the ever-grasping for a longer life at all costs is a mistake. You are FAR better served by reaching for a GOOD life, well-lived. And please understand the Paradox: I believe Bryan IS living his best life well-lived. He is doing what he wants to do and doing it with great intent and passion. As I said, I am not even sure that immortality is really his core goals. I mean, sure it kind of “has to be” because of the topic, but I think the intellectual curiosity is probably the driver. It would be like me trying to create antigravity machines, yeah, yeah, ok, I care about all the sexy physics, free energy, and so on of antigravity technology and aether science, but in reality, it absolutely would not be the core driver. The core driver for me would be to get into such a spaceship and wormhole my way across the Galaxy to go and see all the alien planets and weird creatures and strange civilisations and amazing sights that the Universe has to offer. And I think in a way Bryan’s search for immortality is similar; sure, ok, it would be great to live forever for him (maybe) but really I think he would perhaps be really more stoked to have figured out what our future a million years from now looks like, I think.

And people who don’t get that would be hung up on the longevity thing, and be chasing that with all the anxiety and additional fear of death and therefore wrong focus on the present life they have, which would have long-term, and probably quite drastic and overwhelmingly negative, impacts on their day-to-day existence.

Conclusion

Yes there are the absolutely obvious lies, like, bombing children in Gaza is good and fair and helps the whole West. Or people of a foreign ethnicity, culture, language and religion, being offloaded by the hundreds of thousands and millions into countries that are not their own is somehow good for the natives of those countries. Or equality among human beings being based in physical reality instead of a spiritual intangible relating to souls.

Then there are the subtler lies, like Hitler having been the absolute, worst, worst, most evil man in the entire history of the world. When compared to say Stalin. Or Ted Bundy. Or a bunch of others. Or maybe that hey, people being gay hurts no one and we should stay out of people’s bedrooms. Sure, nice idea in theory. And now we have tranny story hour at the library for toddlers, by convicted pedophiles. Oh and don’t you DARE say there is a straight link between the two things, you dirty bigot.

And then there are the really subtle lies that you are not even aware you believe in and are ruining your life, like the idea that female and male brains are the same or operate the same or even can operate the same (bar physical oddities and mutations that are in no way the norm).

These lies affect your life negatively. And it really is important you begin to consciously pay attention and evaluate things properly. Bryan is kind of right in saying we pretty much know nothing about anything and we are little better than monkeys scratching in the dark. He’s not really wrong about that. However, we CAN know something. And it is our God-given duty (and gift) to be able and willing to try to do so.

And as a final point —that I hope you look into yourself, and that no doubt sounds insane to people like Bryan and Steven— the best approximation for how reality really works, and what is absolutely best for humanity, I advise you to look into and in due time, and after proper consideration, embrace and join, the real Catholic Church.

Which I have to stress every time is the sedevacantist one.

Sedevacantists are the only actual Catholics practicing actual Catholicism as it really was and remains to this day. The Bergoglian pedophile hive of frauds in the Vatican and all those who subscribe to the Novus Ordo heresies are absolutely not a reflection of anything other than Satanic intent to hide, obfuscate and destroy the one institution and organisation that has most elevated humankind more than any other religion or ideology, bar none.

I think you can see why there is no absolutely no fear, or chance whatsoever, that I will ever be invited to appear on Steven’s podcast. I’d probably get his entire channel banned within the first ten minutes and then catalyse an absolute avalanche of cancel culture on every business he is in any way involved with.

And I’d probably make it worse by playing the African card for fun; saying they just want to ban me because I am too light a shade of African, and Steven’s partly white privilege is being used as the excuse to silence my noticing.

Hi Steven. It’s ok, if you ever read this, and want to get in touch, I promise I won’t tell. Nor would you be the first famous person whose association with me I never mention. I am motivated by curiosity and truth you see, not fame or status (other than one very specific type of internally, self-evaluated status, unique to me, that is of pretty much no consequence to anyone else).

To the rest of you, I hope that this post if of some use to at least a few of you and hopefully a lot of you, to help you see the lies, the unintentional ones especially, baked into our very lives, as well, of course, as the more readily perceivable ones.

    And Now For The Positives…

    So my last post sort of gave a tiny insight into how the world really works and if you grasped that fully, you might have become suicidally depressed. Well, don’t blow your brains out just yet. Look at things this way:

    Everyone likes an underdog film, right? You, the lonely, misshapen, loser at life, with no money, hope or charisma, finding the Shangri-La of happiness!

    So, don’t be a wuss. If you DO happen to be a downtrodden unfortunate, think of it this way, you got the intro/first half of the film down pat. Now it’s time to do that heroic montage or perhaps slow middle part grind of the film, where you build yourself up into a quasi-functioning member of society (but still harbour a lot of your insecurities). And in this film, if you do it via reading my books and my blog, you can think of it as a single scene where you pick up some corny book title from some even cornier guru, read it and it ridiculously changes your life, or, is your film is a grittier and grainier one, where you read and take in some of the stuff I say and really apply it and regardless of whether we meet in person or not, you find a way to apply these lessons in a way that measurably improves your life. We might never meet, you might never even drop me an email or anything. I may never know you existed, or we might become very good friends, but the important part is that YOU get better. that you become more successful at life and find a good partner to marry and make and raise happy and numerous children.

    And if you just twitched, thinking that getting married is a fool’s game and having lots of children is a recipe for disaster, well, my chicken-hearted and soft-brained youngster, take heart. I used to think the same stupid shit in my 20s and even my thirties. These are not your thoughts. These are the thoughts that have been beamed into your head from birth by an evil entity that controls a lot of things on this planet. It doesn’t matter if you believe in the evil entity and his minions or not. They believe in you. And in fact, your not believing in them makes their job easier.

    The problems of life

    Are simple. Pretty much everyone, wants:

    • To be loved and have someone they love near them.
    • To have enough (money) to do what they want.

    That’s basically Love and Freedom. Not hard to understand.

    But the barriers to entry on both of those are massive. And most of them begin in your head, where they have been placed by pretty much decades (if not centuries) of lies.

    First Barrier to Entry – Your Beliefs

    It really does not matter what reality is like. If you believe you can’t then you certainly can’t. And life can be hard, so even if you believe you can, often you will still fail. That said, if you obsessively work at and believe you can, you generally achieve most things to at least a certain degree.

    So let’s do Love first. What might be some wrong/erroneous/unhelpful beliefs you may have:

    • Women are all whores/men are all idiots
    • Women will divorce rape you/men only want quickie sex
    • No one believes in traditional family life anymore
    • I can’t afford to be in a relationship (money)
    • I can’t afford to have children (money)
    • I don’t have a support group to have children (money/people)
    • I don’t trust men/women
    • People lie too much to trust them
    • People are too stupid
    • They don’t have my interests
    • No one is loyal anymore
    • The internet gives us too much choice
    • Hookup culture has destroyed relationships
    • 10% of the top men get 90% of the top women
    • I’m too ugly/stupid/poor/short
    • You bought into a PUA Redpill (really a blackpill)
    • You bought into feminist theory of anything
    • You bought into communist theory of anything
    • You bought into equality theory of anything
    • You bought into any Hollywood idea of “relationships”
    • There is no one out there for me
    • Everyone is now Vaxxed and I am a pureblood
    • I don’t own X and I need X before I can settle down
    • I don’t earn X and I need to earn X before I do Y

    That’s just a list off the top of my head I literally did as fast as I can type. I am sure the people reading could add pages to it, but it covers the large issues for the most part and is fairly comprehensive and applicable to all. Right, so what can we notice right away?

    Money

    Having money solves a LOT of these issues (all in red above). And guess what the other part is, the freedom part, that’s pretty much (not entirely but largely) a function of money too. If you can read this, you are in a position where you can earn some money, regardless of who and where you are. It will be harder for some of you and less so for others, but honestly, if you can read this, you can make money.

    Right, so it looks like if we can scratch money off the list, of things we need to have, we would solve pretty much all the Freedom part (to some degree anyway) and several of the Love part of the problem, so, making it, having it, is important.

    And here enters another thing. If you obsess about making money and making money itself becomes the goal, you can and probably will, lose sight of the other goals. That’s just how human beings are wired. You get more of what you focus on, to the exclusion of everything else. So if MAKING the money is the important thing, and you do it long enough, and well enough, and you become better at it, and you can do it more, and get more, pretty soon, you are addicted to making money and you necessarily may lose out on other things. That said, having a certain level of money is important. It is not ESSENTIAL, in the true sense, and it might not be true in an existential sense either, but from a practical perspective, it allows you to achieve certain things. the trick is to know you are using money and not money using you.

    There are many paths to money. Personally mine have always been extremely haphazard, because the making of money never really interested me much. My curiosity was in exploring places, people, ideas, and figuring those things out. Money was just a necessary tool, but not one I ever had any particular affinity for. As a result I have had period in my life where the totality of food I had to eat was a bag flour, some salt (luxury item) and the tap water in my studio apartment. And I was in my mid-twenties, so not exactly just out of school. I also had periods where I’d fly to see a woman I was involved in, pretty much every weekend from UK to Italy, and this set up happened more than once in my life. I often paid for friends on holidays or dinners and never kept any kind of count, but I am sure it is a staggering amount if it were all added up. I also have had periods where friends or family borrowed or gave me money. So I might not be the best person to advise you on how to MAKE a lot of money, but I can tell you without hesitation that there are many, many, many, ways to make money. Not all are available to you at all times of course, and the older you get and more responsibilities you have, the harder it might be to hop and change from one way to another. I never built a so-called career, not cared to keep rolodexes of colleagues and contacts to network and socially climb any corporate ladder. I literally got by on my intelligence and ability to pick anything up really very quickly. it’s fine for a young man to live that way for a while, but it’s not ideal or even good for older or for family men to do so.

    What I can tell you with some authority is that, concerning money:

    • Where there is a will there is a way, you can make some
    • Consistency and persistence pay off
    • In the long run, honesty pays off too (arguable by some, see below)
    • It is easier to make more money if you compromise your integrity and principles, but personally, I think that’s a complete fool’s trade. And I really don’t care if it’s for billions. I have turned down a LOT of money on repeated occasions because I like to have a clean-shaven face and that requires me looking in a mirror. I can’t really quantify the value of that to you, but I assure you that for me, it is pivotal. You might be different from me. Most people are. As always, as the oracles at Delphi used to say: Man, Know Thyself.

    That’s about all the advice I feel comfortable giving you about money, plus one more point:

    Money is pretty much all inherently fake. People in Eastern Europe and South America and other places too, throughout history, woke up one day and their Fiat money was suddenly worthless. So… keep that at the back of your mind too. To a degree it’s true of material possessions too, the government can appropriate your land or property but generally things have to get fairly more drastic (See Red Indians, Zimbabwean Farmers, Soviet Union, etc. etc ad infinitum).

    Ideologies

    The items in bold on the above Love list are all ideas. Very bad ideas. Of course, one could say that any belief is an ideology, but there are subtle but important differences between reality being observed, understood (to whatever extent we can do so) and then catalogued into a convenient but not completely inflexible shorthand. For example, the speed of light is thought to be absolutely fixed. In reality, experimentation tends to suggest it may vary perceptibly depending on various factors, some of which are unknown, but for most models, pretending the speed of light is fixed, works well enough. This is vastly different from it is so. Good enough is not It is so. Ideology is: It is so (wrong). Reality Perception is Good Enough.

    Some examples of ideology are the whole idiotic “gender-fluidity” nonsense. The observed natural order of things is that dimorphic species have males and females, and they mate to produce offspring. Anything else is a deviation from nature and what actually works and perpetrates the species. Now, you may have a fetish for inserting unripe bananas where they do not belong, or golf balls by the bucket for that matter, and you say “But if I harm no one…” And therein lies the trick. For you to TRULY harm no one, your unripe banana and golf-ball insertion deviancy should be very much closeted and discussed with precisely no one. The minute you try to pretend your deviant, aberrant, unnatural behaviour is “normal” you begin to damage banana production economics, upsetting golfers, and incentivising proctologists to pretend certain plastic surgery reconstructions are “routine”.

    Other examples of ideology are as listed:

    Feminism – It’s made no one happy and destroyed untold millions if not billions of lives, fostering a complete fake narrative of what women “should” want or “need” instead of what they are biologically designed to be like. And of course, the same applies to the damage done to men and especially young boys. Literally every statistic on human happiness and suicide bears this out.

    Equality – It’s completely false. Not even twins are equal, and certainly not men and women, or different ethnicities, religions, cultures and so on. Of course, if you are a Venetian, you are smarter, better looking and already know this, since we know very well the rest of the world is composed of other humans. And humans are just the worst. But at least we are better than all of you. I am sure you think otherwise, but you’re just wrong about that. See? I just proved the point. Stop and review your thoughts. Seriously. Review.

    Communism – Another Jewish lie (Karl Marx was a Jew, and yes, I put this at his and their collective feet, like usury. Why? Because facts. What? what? Antise-what? Yeah, shut up. Go look up who came up with feminism mostly. And immigration on a huge scale “for thee but not me”. I got more. Just ask.) Communism is basically the idea that everyone is the same and everyone should get the same. Except the guys in charge. Oh and also, we need to kill millions of people to make it work. Every single time. Because all the other times wasn’t really done right. But this time, with this pile of skulls, we will perfect it. Seriously, read a fucking book. Communism is a gigantic lie and always has been.

    PUAs – blogged about these cretins at length for years. Use the Search me link on the right.

    There is no one out there for me – Pretty much ALL of the above ideologies are not rooted in reality but rather your Achille’s heel of deep down believing you’re unlovable. And so the whole world needs to stop spinning on its axis, become a flat disc, to suit the flat-earther morons, and life must all bend to your specific will, with all your flaws, so you can feel validated. Except you won’t, because shrivelled, crippled, addicted to all drugs and booze as your miserable soul is, it still KNOWS that you are as you are, and no amount of fake outside validation will fill the gaping maw of despair that is in your heart. Only truth and reality and facing it will do that.

    It was always thus

    See the green items? Yeah…. pretty much the same throughout world history. To whatever degree these items are “true” they have always been so. The proportions may vary a little, but believe me, only a little. Most humans are really fucking terrible. Didn’t I already tell you that? What are you, some Algerian or something? Obviously not Venetian eh?!? Jeez. Pay attention will you?

    OK what’s left?

    So the items in normal text have some truth right? Ok, for the most part, all this means is that your task of finding a suitable mate are made even easier. Because they are so much easier to identify.

    A woman that believe in most of the ideologies listed in bold, and acts out most of the things written in green and also flags the normal text items, is probably a waste of time. On the other hand, there exist, men and women who:

    • Believe in traditional family life
    • Agree having a support group to raise a family is great, but not absolutely essential
    • Agree that the internet and hookup culture have given everyone unrealistic expectations, which are based on completely false concepts. A few of them might even understand that most humans are a bunch of ugly idiots, and you too and them too. And that the best they can do is find an idiot just as ugly and stupid as they are and build a life on it.
    • Both the Vaxxed and non-vaxxed tend to admit it freely. Males it easier to select your group: Mutants or Pure Strain Humans. Then roll our Gamma World stats.

    The selection process has become more discerning. That’s all. If you are reading this you now have the top of the top 0.1% information to make a good go of scoring the perfect partner. You realise he or she will not be a millionaire, supermodel, nymphomaniac, who enjoys sharing you with his/her disease-free stripper friends.

    So you select someone of similar 1-10 scale looks to you that shares at least some of the more important values you believe in and if those values are not based in reality, you know your relationship will most likely catch fire, go into a tailspin and leave a messy crater below.

    Work on yourself to shave off the mono part of your mono-brow. Learn to talk to EVERYONE. Learn to approach ANYONE, without being a creepy, stalkerish type. Go out in the real world and join activities that you enjoy where likely partners might be found.

    And keep at it.

    One thing I am certain of, is that if you do these things, and also work on removing whatever negative beliefs and traits you have (NOT WITH SURGERY, YOU MORON! NOT UNLESS YOU’RE THE ELEPHANT MAN!) there absolutely IS a person out there that can love you and truly actually love you. Yes, even if you are a crippled hunchback. And yes I do know actual crippled hunchbacks (more than one, yes) who made something of their lives and are happily married. Are their partners supermodels? No. But you know what, after a while that really doesn’t matter. I obviously hope nothing of the sort ever happens and my wife would be devastated if it did, but if she had some horrible accident and was disfigured, my attraction to her would not really make a twitch on the needle. There was a time I was absolutely attracted to her looks, I still am, and she still has them, but the shift has moved for me already, and it is not a function of age so much, but of intimacy. I have always noted that if I was serious about a woman, although her looks originally attracted me, afterwards, they made little difference. It is also true that the important ones in my life have been very few compared to the “just for fun” ones.

    The ability to connect deeply on the things that really matter in life, far supersedes the temporary allure of the merely physical (albeit they can last a few decades with good care). The more time I spend with her, the closer I feel and if the feeling is mutual and she too feels closer then, our level of true understanding and intimacy grows exponentially too, and honestly, nothing “looks” better than that sensation.

    So keep these things in mind.

    As I can, I will next post about how the entire world lies to you and how to spot it.

      An Important Point of Neurology

      Came across this and I wanted to point out a rather profound point it shows about human neurology and identity.

      It sounds silly and funny at first, but precisely because it is so obviously absurd, it best highlights exactly how the human brain functions for most humans. As well as why it is so very difficult for people to let go of completely wrong ideas about themselves above all, but also of life in general, beliefs they associate with their own persona and so on.

      The seemingly absurd idea that trying some cheese causes such emotional and psychological angst to this guy makes it clear that he’s obviously mistaken about the importance of cheese in general and almost certainly of cheese specifically as it refers to him. Eat the cheese, don’t eat the cheese, he’ll be fine. Barring some exotic allergy that will kill him the minute he tries cheese that is. HA! See? Made you doubt it too now.

      Ha, ha, silly guy, right? Cheese. So funny.

      Now do Protestantism. It’s at least as retarded, but look at all you Protties reading this now suddenly getting a thin line where your mouth used to be and furrowed brows of disapproval.

      The reason this guy is so hung up on cheese is most likely because all the old traditional things people used to fight and die over have been corrupted to a degree whereby, the average boomer now considers the most trivial and idiotic things as being fundamental aspects of his personality. Like not eating cheese. The alternative is considering almost NOTHING as being fundamental to your personality, which is why there is a heavy uptick in teenagers pretending to be the opposite sex, or taking part in orgies, or believing the Earth is flat, and the Moon is made of cheese.

      Not only are the traditions corrupted and in many cases destroyed, but the very tools of basic logic and basic reasoning have been intentionally kept from these people. They literally do NOT have the mental ability to reason their way into a reasonable position. They are, in effect, magical thinkers. Cargo cultists to Nth degree.

      Leaving aside for a moment the religious or other ideologies, and focussing purely on the neurological element, the reality is that all humans have an idea, a representation of themselves in their own head. Depending on what that idea is composed of, how those beliefs came about and how attached one is to them, changing can be nigh on impossible.

      I was lucky that at an early age I put it into my head that anything any one human being on Earth could do, was possible, so if I applied myself, it was likely I too could do it eventually. I also had persistence and never giving up drilled into me and reinforced by myself and my own choices throughout my life, and still do. Even so, certain patterns and behaviours that I felt were a fundamental part of who I was were very difficult for me to break out too. Part of why I learnt to do deep hypnosis was precisely so I could delve into my own psyche at the deepest level I could. And before I hypnotised anyone else, I put myself into trances that lasted up to a couple or more hours regularly. In this manner I did at first shift, then crack, then removed beliefs about who I was that were not ideal for me. I wrote briefly about this in Reclaiming the Catholic Church, but the point is that we are NOT our beliefs about who we are. We have an infinitely larger potential and amplitude of behaviour and personality colouring.

      Martial arts can change this but it usually takes years. So does any endeavour indulged in almost fanatically for a couple of decades, but aside from controlled LSD trips under clinical settings, the fastest way I know to do this is with Hypnosis. After you have changed a few really core (but erroneous) beliefs about your of identity, and if you have the requisite faculties to do so, you can learn to change other patterns. I have done it several times throughout my life, and the longest and hardest pattern to break was the one I described in RTCC as erroneous loyalty.

      The problem, of course, is not loyalty, which is a virtue, but loyalty to the erroneous concept, idea or person. If you have “being loyal” as one of your core beliefs about yourself, it becomes very difficult to see the errors, evil, or even outright lies and negative values that you don’t share, with your guru, your religion, your family, friends or whatever. It took a long time for me to realise that being objective and letting go of people or thoughts that were ultimately negative was the correct action to take, and was NOT a negative reflection of me or of my being “disloyal”. Since then I have had ample occasion to not only confirm that changing that aspect of myself was the intelligent, correct and good thing to do, but also to confirm that I am indeed, loyal unto death when it is for the right reason. In short, it was a drastic improvement not just for me, but in general, in terms of how I related to the world.

      If you take any of the important things, like your belief in your religion, your beliefs about loyalty, love, kindness, and what part or aspect of these you consider to be core parts of who you are, it will feel absolutely horrifically difficult and wrong to change any of them. And yet, many of these patterns are probably not serving you best.

      No one sane born in a neutral, objective, honest household would become a Muslim or a Jew, since both religion permit sex with underage children and don’t consider sex with toddlers to be a crime.

      Similarly, no one capable of doing basic logic can possibly assume that Protestantism is any kind of thing other than a total perversion of Christianity. And with a little more digging, no one sane could possibly mistake the Novus Ordo Impostors for actual Catholic Clergy.

      No more than anyone would mistake 6’2″ me for an African pigmy.

      But you have no skin in the personality of seeing me as my 6’2″ self, so you see me as what I am, not as a 4′ pigmy.

      You might dislike me, you might be insulted by the undeniable facts about your fake “Christianity” I point out to you, and you will in at least some cases, choose to die rather than admit your error. Not because you are especially brave, but because changing such a core aspect of who you think you are, feels to you, like a fate, even worse than death. Death of the ego feels, to the human brain, very much like impending and undignified death at that. So, truly worse than just mere death. And as a result your brain will fight back with everything it has. Which is quite a lot since the Sub and Unconscious together form at least 90% of your brain by my reckoning.

      The thing is, if you consider the level of lies you have noted in the last 4 years, then begin to realise that your ENTIRE LIFE you have been exposed to lies just as pervasive, just as big, just as pernicious, as the ones you have noted more recently, what do you think the odds are that all your core beliefs about yourself that you hold dear are true, and objective, and good and correct? Yup. Pretty much zero.

      Problem is, if you can’t do at least rudimentary logic, you’re never going to learn how to get out of the erroneous thoughts you think are you.

      Usually people who DO change change only as a result of long and determined effort over a long time, or if and when a big Significant Emotional Event (SEE) happens to them. The Alcoholic kills a kid in his car and never touches alcohol again. The drug addict sees himself in the mirror and something triggers deep in his limbic brain and he stops being an addict. The tough cop that just “get the job done” quits his job, takes time out, realises how all the crap he has seen has hurt him, and takes up landscaping as his next job because it helps him feel good.

      A few people do it consciously by themselves by learning hypnosis and also just working obsessively on themselves, but these are a TINY minority.

      And remember, you are NOT your personality. You are NOT what or who you think about yourself. Those things, in a great many cases, are almost just like persistent clothing in a video game. You can change the colour and shape of your clothes, just like you can change the type of personality you want to have.

        Why you MUST fight the stupid

        Many people do not understand why from time to time, when I feel like it and have time, I take to task some mouth-breathing retard about everything from Protestantism, a known, illogical and obvious degradation of Christianity into secular nonsense, which happens to be followed by millions, including some nominally intelligent people, to the covid “vaccines” which I explained from the start are genetically altering serums that will cause extreme harm to your body, which is a medical reality that has been known for 30 years since the experimentation with mRNA genetic messing started, with testing on animals.

        Plus any number of other topics that I feel are relevant to humanity at large.

        People think I am just ornery and opinionated, which is not entirely wrong, the average stupidity of humans is indeed irritating to me and I can only suffer them in small doses normally, and I do have strong ideas (but few opinions, which I hardly voice) because they are based usually on decades of empirical testing in the real world.

        But I do not fight the idiots because I enjoy it. No, I fight the stupid because it is a sacred duty. If you care about humanity at all (which I find I do, against my own general inclinations) you MUST try to correct their incessant stupidity, passed down from generation to generation, creating an avalanche of imbeciles, which, thanks to those of us that understand engineering, continue being safer and safer and not getting rightfully Darwined out of the gene pool by their own idiocy.

        The village idiots, like rabbits run wild with endless food, and ergonomically ultra-safe step-ladders, are creating our own Universe 25. And their damaging idiocy is now so pervasive that they are starting to really affect the entire globe.

        We don’t have a climate crisis, we have a fucking abominable retard catastrophe.

        Idiots who think the word “gender”, which is used in linguistics, can be re-adapted to be a synonym for sex. And then they try to tell you that human sex is “fluid” or “non-binary”. No. No it is not. You are born male or female, or, if you are unlucky and the result of a natural mishap of chromosomes and body parts, you might be born a hermaphrodite. And some people are born with six fingers or a brain deformation that makes them handicapped in some way. Such is life. Sometimes some guy draws a shitty hand.

        But that does not make men women, or vice-versa. Nor does your particular sexual fetish, unnatural propensity, or deviation make it “ok” to tell people it is normal, or even acceptable in many cases. And if one of those mental deviations is one that makes you want to rape children, then, it is simply salutary and best if you are removed from the gene pool forthwith. And we should absolutely pass laws to make this all legal and normal, as it is, and as it should be.

        Now, when it comes to pedophiles —the freaks who want to rape children— most people, including most normies (but not all, believe me) especially if they are essentially normal and have children, are not too far-removed from sanity, and those that do have some knowledge of the damage that pedophiles cause are generally quite happy for pedos to get the death penalty and even making it all legal and official. That said, few would volunteer to be the executioner. At least, few that are mentally healthy, because being an executioner is difficult work, and most human beings are not armoured mentally against that kind of work. In the past, a lot more healthy men were, but we have lived in decadent comfort in the West for almost a century now, and while in at least some third world countries corporal punishment is still accepted as more or less normal for certain crimes, so is generally a level of brutality that most would prefer to do away with. A modern, civilised society that does apply the death penalty and corporal punishment in a balanced fashion is rare.

        Singapore comes to mind, but some, of course will argue about some of the reasons to issue a death penalty, and very few will consider the issue in the most fair and logical legal manner ever invented by humans, which, like it or not, understand it or not, being aware of it or not, is Roman Law. The principle in Roman is the main framing of an issue, however the details of it are then examined and each case valued on its merits. This at least was the original Roman Law. It has since been somewhat perverted even in Italy, where it originated.

        The reality is that the death penalty is absolutely a deterrent against much vicious crime. And anyone that says it is not, is a liar that usually tries to appeal to fake and false “studies” done by compromised and utterly unscientific organisations. Very much like the anti-gun brigade.

        Now, I am pro-guns, but even I would not be happy with literally ANYONE being able to buy fully automatic weapons in the same fashion one buys bread. HOWEVER, that is because of the mayhem that would happen for the first, oh, say five years or so. And because I have children and a wife and I care about them. For myself, I’d probably be ok to take my chances (as in any case, I kind of did to a certain extent, working in close protection in South Africa for some years). Mostly out of curiosity and to verify that my prediction would be correct. Because if it became a thing that both civilians as well as the military and police could all have access to fully automatic weapons including machine guns, after five years, I suspect the death by guns would approach zero and for the most part be confined to suicides and the occasional nutter, who probably would not get to fire too much before he became Swiss cheese at the hands of a totally armed citizenry.

        To a certain extent I already lived through this kind of change in South Africa. When guns were limited to ownership by whites, there was a regular shooting every week-end over road rage. When gun ownership became open to anyone regardless of skin colour, utter mayhem ensued. And carried on for the next 30 years, because, politically correct to say it or not, it remains a fact, that a people who have NOT developed, invented, and created a certain technology, will invariably misuse it. And the average African is simply not at a civilisational level that permits them to responsibly use or own a firearm. As usual, are there exceptions, sure. But statistics is a thing, and if used correctly, not only it doesn’t lie, it tells all the truths people are uncomfortable with. Besides, if you want to accuse me of “racism”, keep in mind that: a) I don’t give a fuck about your idiotic opinion, b) it is wrong insofar as you use and mean the word “racist” in any case, and c) I’m not the one that made this obvious thing about cultural and technological differences obvious to the world. It was Michael Crichton. Yup. Go ahead and read the original book Jurassic Park.

        What did change though was that the number of road rage shootings between whites pretty much disappeared almost overnight. And the average Afrikaner became suddenly a LOT more polite. This is not just a random idea. It is something I personally experienced. And a very real change. The average white man now was so conscious that if he started shooting for a stupid reason, there were a LOT more people that could suddenly shoot back, and that were likely to as well.

        The point is that in any case, the statistics are in. In the USA, the states with the highest number of concealed carry citizens have lower gun crimes. The exceptions are areas that are predominantly African-American in population. If you are black does that upset you? Do you think I am some racist Neo-Nazi because I can do math? Well, guess what: Fuck you. I don’t care.

        Because if *I* was a big black bald guy, but with *my* brain in my head, instead of yours, I wouldn’t get upset about this at all. Just like I don’t get upset if someone judges Italians on average as being people that generally talk too much, wave their hands a lot, and often speak on topics they are ignorant of as if they knew a lot more than they do (though that Americanism is becoming global in fairness). Or if you said that Venetians are ornery bastards that kinda try to irritate you off the bat, just to see how you react. Or if you said it about me specifically. Hell, I don’t get upset about the Sun rising in the East either, or water being wet. You know why? Because I am not a complete fucking idiot.

        So… if *you* are getting all upset… we-eeel… you might wanna check that IQ loooooooooooong before I ever, ever, ever, will check my “privilege”.

        White, or Olive Nigger that it may be. In fact I’m kinda quite fond of the term Olive Nigger, I find it funny. As far as I know it was coined by a Lilly white American who, quite frankly, is almost translucent as far as skin colour goes. And he also has a higher IQ than me by a few points. Do I care? Am I offended? Look in my eye pilgrim, go on, take a good long look. You see me offended anywhere? That’s right. I could not care less. So why do you, you unspecified nigger of whichever ethnic, or socio-economic, or skin colour persuasion? I’ll tell you why.

        Because you are fucking stupid. Stupid. S T U P I D.

        The point is that like it or not, you can’t let stupid people run the world. Not without absolutely dire consequences. Idiocracy was supposed to be a comedy film, not a tragic documentary, although, to be honest, I found the film too irritating and true to life to watch when it actually came out. I could only stomach about 5 minutes of it by skipping large sections of it. And that was nearly 20 years ago now.

        And you absolutely can’t let evil people run the world.

        Firstly because they are evil, but also because, being evil, they promote and support the stupidity, they increase it and fuel it and feed it. And for that crime alone, among all the others, they should absolutely be hung from the neck until dead, gassed, shot in a firing squad, or even just like rabid dogs Ceausescu style. And they know it. Which is why they promote the stupidity. Smart, intelligent, honest, and good men of strong character, in any great numbers, would storm the places of power where these evil pedophile and child killers live and work, and would dispense rough street justice to them immediately. Which sometimes in the world takes place before appropriate and salutary laws and good people put in place to see them well-enforced are secured in place. As, for example, in Singapore.

        My main objection to Singaporean laws is certainly not the death penalty, but perhaps, rather, the level at which it is applied. But that is absolutely NOT a criticism of Singapore or its laws or even the judiciary. It is a criticism of humanity. Allow me to explain.

        I am vehemently against drugs of any sort. I never even touched the stuff at all for the entirety of my life until my late thirties and early forties, and even then, the sum total of my experimentation was perhaps a handful of times smoking cannabis, and precisely once, snorting some cocaine. I did it for the sole reason that people I care about and valued had done some of these things; and more. And despite being intelligent and capable, they seem to use this crap regularly. A young guy I used to work with, who was a decent person, worked well, and was smart, apparently snorted coke almost every weekend. People I grew up with, my close friends, hid the fact they occasionally smoked Cannabis because they feared how I would react to them. I simply told them they were morons, but it didn’t concern me, other than make me realise they were more moronic than I thought to begin with.

        After that singular experience with cocaine, it became absolutely confirmed to me that the only people who snort cocaine are either idiots or such weak and/or damaged people that they cannot reason their way out of their situations and lives, or at least change them in any really positive way. Are they evil? Usually not, although the drug use can eventually corrode them to the point they become it. Are they weak? Yes. Are they dumb? Not always necessarily, in a classical sense, but certainly in regard to making stupid life choices, yes. No one needs any mind-altering substance in a civilised and logical world. And although we are living far from either thing, it is still not a good idea to drug yourself up in order to temporarily escape it (only to be faced with it again and much more so a little while later).

        In short, I am not a fan of drugs.

        That said, I think that giving someone the death penalty for having half a kilo of Cannabis is probably a bit extreme. HOWEVER, it is a FACT that if you do NOT do that, then it will start with Cannabis and before you know it you will have meth-heads running around burglarising homes and hurting people to feed their habit. While if you DO have the death penalty for Cannabis, guess what, aside the odd idiot here and there, everyone stops using it to alter their brain chemistry and the entirety of society is better off.

        No. I am not interested in your idea that smoking that shit does no harm. I saw it with my dad’s workers for decades at a time, because it was in a country where it is not really criminalised at all; and it absolutely rots your brains. So keep such retarded opinions to yourself.

        So my problem with the Singaporean laws is not that they are too harsh. It is that humans are so utterly stupid that they are necessary. In a civilised world, the cannabis smoker would (unrealistically) be smart enough to not do that shit where I can smell it, or where it affects me, or anyone else, or his driving, or his cognitive abilities…

        You see why it’s necessary to have the death penalty, right? Because honestly, if a drug addled fucker runs over one of my kids, I don’t care that he was a “responsible” user. He clearly wasn’t.

        And therein lies the problem.

        SO.

        Is it clear now why it is absolutely your DUTY, if you are at all a good guy, to call out the stupid. To limit their activity and range and effect they have on others. The village idiots need to be put back in the closets and kept there. And their families made responsible for the harm they cause. Their doors marked with the red letter I for AN IDIOT LIVES HERE.

        You must show them up for the harm and damage and stupidity they cause to the world at large and to yours and mine.

        It’s not that I enjoy beating atomised ghosts of dead horses. It is that it is a sacred duty. So, if you possess at least the minimum IQ required to understand the point, get to it. Learn the truth, learn logic, learn basic mathematics, and then join me in a crusade against Human Stupidity. We can’t really win the fight, but like Leonidas and his 300, perhaps we will be remembered in the millennia that follow us.

          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.
