Yup. He said it. So, just to be clear, he admits it could be a hoax, but even if it is, it’s not a Jewish plot at all.
Ok. I’d like to know who would have had any interest in making it a hoax. Was it the Chinese? And was it them too that somehow never mention the 100 million people killed by Jewish people in Russia and so on?
I mean China is the next bad guy right? Right after Russia, so… yeah, must be an evil Chinese plot.
So, today’s asshats have taken once again, one of my posts verbatim and shoved it on their shitty, clickbait, fake “we are gonna give you the real news” (by stealing it from other people then asking you to pay for “their” “hard work” and supposed “payments to contributors”).
At least you’ll be receiving something for it (unless you just do the donation) instead of mere begging for unspecified “costs”.
As far as I am concerned they now have a few of options:
Apologise, take down my work from their sight and never post any of it there again.
Apologise, ask for permission, and offer to pay me writing fees as a contributor. My fee is 10 (Euro) cents a word. By doing this twice in a row, they already lost the option of simply asking for permission and getting to do it for free. I don’t like liars, and once could be a bad judgement, but twice is a pattern.
The third option, to continue stealing and ignoring this will probably be what they opt for, but this is not my first rodeo, and eventually, on a long enough timeline, people who piss me off get a rather rude shock. Fraudsters, etc have not fared well against me. To the last count there were 2 companies in receiverships, one trial won with damages and costs awarded to me and a few websites that went out of business. I’d rather it not go that way, and this is not a huge deal, but some things need correcting, and pretending I have anything to do with that shitty site is one of them. So they have easy solutions available, as the other gentleman who made the same initial error was able to verify, but some people can’t help being dumb and wanting to be punished. Maybe they enjoy it, I don’t know.
I have stated the rules for commenting quite clearly. I have explained the stupidity, ignorance, and complete lack of any logic of the Protestant position many, many, many times. With never a single valid point in response. It’s like talking to stones. I’d say monkeys, but monkeys can learn. Protestants, apparently, with few exceptions, can only rely on God possibly having mercy on them only because of truly invincible ignorance. That’s when you are literally too stupid to learn. So, stones. Monkeys have more applicable reason and free will.
Below is the umpteenth retarded comment, which I add links and commentary to only as the usual (vain) attempt at being a teaching moment pour encourager les autres.
From Gen.Patton [who Protestant though he might have been, would likely be spinning in his grave at this moron using his name]
Constantine “legalized” Christianity in 313 a.d.
In this act, he shrewdly blended Pagan Romanism with the Christian movement that was threatening to destroy Rome.
This is the origin of Catholicism. Orthodoxy, and Sedevacantist Catholicism by default are off-shoots of the same root.
They are all False Gospel.
This is easily proven, [No it’s not. It never has been and never will be, because the opposite is true and historically demonstrable. And only a complete idiot would make such historically, logically, and objectively incoherent statements.]
although lengthy books have been written on the many departures Catholicism has taken away from True Christianity. [Lengthy books of lies have been written about many things. They don’t change facts]
Here are 5 examples: [Here we go. Retardation incoming…]
5 fundamentals of Christianity: 1. Deity of Christ 2. Triune God 3. Virgin Birth 4. Christ’s Resurrection
5. Justification by Faith Alone in Christ Alone. [Nope, stupid. That was pencilled in by Martin. The drunkard, glutton, rapist with a penchant for banging nuns. Read James, which was part of the Bible until the same fat, Jewish, spiritual hit man ripped it and other books out of the Bible]
Or the 5 Solas if you prefer:
[Ah yes, the 5 brands of indelible idiocy all true morons wear proudly on their foreheads]
Here is a link to an entertaining deconstruction of pretty much all your retarded Protestant positions: The Idiocy
Scripture alone
Faith alone
Grace alone
Christ alone
To the glory of God alone
These people are literally too stupid to understand that it was CATHOLICISM that literally put the bible together as a book, using TRADITION to do it. Some 300 years after Jesus ascended.
And secondly, that since they have ZERO written rules, the only rule they have is “Interpreth as thou will” which is 100% Satanic.
“Oh but my denomination number 42,391 HAS written rules…” sure, and next week, one of the “congregants” there can write his own set and be just as “valid”. It’s idiotic on its face. A child gets how retarded this is.
Thirdly, if some fat, rapey, gluttonous, foul mouthed, Jewish spiritual hit-man can come along some 1500 years later and you all ass-u-me that his changes to a grabbled Bible that’s been perverted by pharisees for 700 years to begin with, are all “God-Breathed” instead of “Martin-Farted” what in the HELL can possibly prevent say Bruce Jenner, from coming along and re-writing a few chapters himself, in the name of strong fake “women” everywhere, and THAT being just as “God-Breathed” instead of just as “Bruce-Farted”? I’ll tell you, because if you believe that nonsense, you’re too stupid to figure it out: Nothing. Absolutely nothing is preventing that from happening. because the only standard protestants have for being a Christian is to recognise that Jesus is Lord. Well. Guess what. Demons know that too.
The standard for being a Protestant is literally the same as that of Demons.
Obviously, the idiotic “Gen. Patton” has now joined the mass graves of spammed commenters and I will never again see any of his idiotic statements, and henceforth, any Protestant that even HINTS at any of the above, idiotic, debunked by centuries of proof that even honest protestants like Rodney Stark recognise, will summarily be spammed. No warning of any kind will ever be given henceforth. Not that I gave them before.
Get it through your head: I don’t CARE about your retarded Protestant nonsense. You are wrong, stupid and you will not waste any of my time at all other than what I chose to spend, like here, to make an example of you for others.
What most people don’t understand is that IQ tests have been done for a very long time, on huge numbers of people, and adjusted and regulated for all sorts of variables, like socio-economic groups, and so on. Like it or not, the g factor measured by IQ tests is undeniably real.
Regardless of what people with a chip on their shoulder like Taleb would like to pretend.
I expect analogous tables to be present between East Asians like the Japanese and Europeans
The interesting thing is not even the above undeniable facts.
The interesting thing is that no one is discussing what kind of social policies are best, and fairest for the largest number of people, to put in place.
If you think about the issue for a while, you should, in short order, come to the logical conclusion that homogenous ethnic nations are really the best option for all. In each nation the majority being of one type of ethnicity and race, the laws and rules will be made as those people best seem fit. And guests and visitors had best take heed.
The alternative, some globally imposed system of rules, would inevitably favour certain groups over others. If laws are to be followed by sensible, logical, Roman Law type principles, the outcome is certainly going to be fairer for more people than if Anglo-Saxon (common law) or worse, American Law is used, but there will still be a huge disparity between various groups.
Some of the problems are inevitable. I am personally all for individual exceptionalism, I see no reason why the outlier African that is better than most caucasians at something shouldn’t be allowed to perform certain tasks, but, since the law of averages states most people that look like him might not be best suited for that task, a natural prejudice will exist against him.
When I was in Japan, I certainly encountered “racism” against me for my being a dirty, stupid, lawless, round-eyed barbarian. Not because I behaved like one, but because all the dirty, stupid, lawless, round-eyed barbarians that looked similar to me did.
I reacted individually to it, but I never took it personally. I understood the poor Japanese guy in his shop.
I get it. I’m a nigger. But unluky for you, I’m not like the other niggers. So your extremely subtle prejudice against me will be replied to in kind.
Which probably only made the difference that I went from nigger to uppity-nigger. But that’s ok. Like a typical nigger, I was black, and I was proud.
The point is, life is not fair. This world is not fair. And if we reduce everything to secular “values” then your IQ and other intangibles of far less importance, become your value as a human being. A horrific mechanisation of humanity that is Hellish in nature and Satanic in operation.
On the other hand, a proper Catholic approach, would allow for the differences in a reasonable manner, taking each case individually, but with a commensurate response to protect the largest number of people. You do a violent crime, particularly against the physically weaker, you take a very severe punishment, including forced labour and the death penalty for certain crimes.
You don’t pass objective criteria to hold certain jobs, then it’s tough titties. And if that means we end up with all the best physicists and astronomers being lilly-white and the best 100m sprinters all coal-black, so be it.
But before we can have such a meritocracy, founded not in the negative aspects of pre-judging large groups, but rather, in seeking to give each man his dues in proportion to his talents and abilities, without loss of dignity in any case, we will likely require the second coming to have taken place.
Read the whole thing here, direct from the Kremlin, because I would not trust a single Western Media source with telling me the sky is blue at this point.
In essence, however, Putin is doing simply what I stated Russia was and would continue to do, back in October 2022 (well, long before that, but I spelt it out on this blog for the masses then).
And that is: Using verifiable facts (aka known as truth) as their propaganda. Is EVERYTHING Russia says on the level? Maybe not. I am sure some tiny elements here and there might be actual propaganda, but by and large, what Putin says is pretty closely related to the reality of facts, events and objective observations of reality.
In the long term, especially when you are dealing with actual missiles and guns and flying bullets, that kind of “propaganda” is invincible.
Because even the retarded norms start to see it after a while.
Here is a small excerpt of his speech.
The recent Munich Conference turned into an endless stream of accusations against Russia. One gets the impression that this was done so that everyone would forget what the so-called West has been doing over the past decades. They were the ones who let the genie out of the bottle, plunging entire regions into chaos.
According to US experts, almost 900,000 people were killed during wars unleashed by the United States after 2001, and over 38 million became refugees. Please note, we did not invent these statistics; it is the Americans who are providing them. They are now simply trying to erase all this from the memory of humankind, and they are pretending that all this never happened. However, no one in the world has forgotten this or will ever forget it.
None of them cares about human casualties and tragedies because many trillions of dollars are at stake, of course. They can also continue to rob everyone under the guise of democracy and freedoms, to impose neoliberal and essentially totalitarian values, to brand entire countries and nations, to publicly insult their leaders, to suppress dissent in their own countries and to divert attention from corruption scandals by creating an enemy image. We continue to see all this on television, which highlights greater domestic economic, social and inter-ethnic problems, contradictions and disagreements.
I would like to recall that, in the 1930s, the West had virtually paved the way to power for the Nazis in Germany. In our time, they started turning Ukraine into an “anti-Russia.”
Actually, this project is not new. People who are knowledgeable about history at least to some extent realise that this project dates back to the 19th century. The Austro-Hungarian Empire and Poland had conceived it for one purpose, that is, to deprive Russia of these historical territories that are now called Ukraine. This is their goal. There is nothing new here; they are repeating everything.
He is absolutely right.
And the next piece I put here has some real zingers in it. Not because of smart word-play, or fancy rhetoric. But precisely because it is a hammer of truth on a tiny blob of gay glop, that is the GAE Western world (emphasis added) and [commentary by me].
We are not at war with the people of Ukraine. I have made that clear many times. The people of Ukraine have become hostages of the Kiev regime and its Western handlers, who have in fact occupied that country in the political, military and economic sense and have been destroying Ukrainian industry for decades now as they plundered its natural resources. This led to social degradation and an immeasurable increase in poverty and inequality. Recruiting resources for military operations in these circumstances was easy. Nobody was thinking about people, who were conditioned for slaughter and eventually became expendables. It is a sad and dreadful thing to say, but it is a fact.
Responsibility for inciting and escalating the Ukraine conflict as well as the sheer number of casualties lies entirely with the Western elites and, of course, today’s Kiev regime, for which the Ukrainian people are, in fact, not its own people. The current Ukrainian regime is serving not national interests, but the interests of third countries. [We know they mean the USA and NATO puppets, but I’d love to know if they add Israel to that list]
The West is using Ukraine as a battering ram against Russia and as a testing range. I am not going to discuss in detail the West’s attempts to turn the war around, or their plans to ramp up military supplies, since everyone is well aware of that. However, there is one circumstance that everyone should be clear about: the longer the range of the Western systems that will be supplied to Ukraine, the further we will have to move the threat away from our borders. This is obvious.
The Western elite make no secret of their goal, which is, I quote, “Russia’s strategic defeat.” What does this mean to us? This means they plan to finish us once and for all. In other words, they plan to grow a local conflict into a global confrontation. This is how we understand it and we will respond accordingly, because this represents an existential threat to our country.
However, they too realise it is impossible to defeat Russia on the battlefield and are conducting increasingly aggressive information attacks against us targeting primarily the younger generation. They never stop lying and distorting historical facts as they attack our culture, the Russian Orthodox Church and other traditional religious organizations in our country.
Look what they are doing to their own people. It is all about the destruction of the family, of cultural and national identity, perversion and abuse of children, including pedophilia, all of which are declared normal in their life. They are forcing the priests to bless same-sex marriages. Bless their hearts, let them do as they please. Here is what I would like to say in this regard. Adult people can do as they please. We in Russia have always seen it that way and always will: no one is going to intrude into other people’s private lives, and we are not going to do it, either.
But here is what I would like to tell them: look at the holy scripture and the main books of other world religions. They say it all, including that family is the union of a man and a woman, but these sacred texts are now being questioned. Reportedly, the Anglican Church is planning, just planning, to explore the idea of a gender-neutral god. What is there to say? Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.
Millions of people in the West realise that they are being led to a spiritual disaster. Frankly, the elite appear to have gone crazy, and it looks like there is no cure for that. But like I said, these are their problems, while we must protect our children, which we will do. We will protect our children from degradation and degeneration.
It makes you wonder why, we in the West are apparently NOT protecting our children. How many of you are staying silent while transgenderism is being taught in elementary schools your children attend?
How many of you are not taking steps to separate yourselves from degenerate ideologies that run counter to biological reality?
How many of you are brainwashed into accepting the premise that all cultures and all ethnicities and all people are all equivalent in objective terms?
How many of you use the word “gender” when the correct word is “sex”.
Gender is used for Romantic languages that have masculine and feminine words, it is not used for people or animals to describe the sex, which, in mammals is either male or female, excepting an extremely tiny number of genetic mishaps where a few unfortunates have sexual chimeras usually known as hermaphrodites. Do you now use the repurposed word “gender” to “normalise” the utterly insane and idiotic idea that “gender (meaning the biological sex of people) is a social construct”?
Because if it were socially acceptable (give it time), and I was that way inclined (never gonna happen), I could pretty much bitchslap you in the face with my “social construct” until you change your mind.
It doesn’t matter if you like Putin or not. It doesn’t matter if you think he is part of the big plan of “the Jews”, or “the Bankers”, or “the Elite”, or aliens from outer space for that matter. Right now, Putin is demonstrably light-years closer to the truth than the entire Western World put together.
So, hot on the heels of my last post: What are you doing Western Man.
Are you protecting your children from the lies and the demonic scourge after them?
I’ll tell you, I consider the Eastern “Orthodox” Schismatics and wrong on the theological facts, but:
They are half a Galaxy closer to the truth than any of the other fake Churchian denominations, and a few full Galaxies closer than Protestantism (all 40,000+ versions) or the Satanism that currently pretends to be the “Catholic” Church.
I’ll worry about converting my misguided Russian friends to proper Christianity (Sedevacantist Catholicism) after Davos Man has been made extinct by them. And if they actually do, well, I sure hope God forgives them their errors. And less so our own timidity in the face of the enemies of truth, beauty, life and innocence.
Ultimately, Putin’s speech means exactly what it says.
We told you to leave us alone. You didn’t. We warned you repeatedly. We are still doing so. Now enough. You carry on playing this game, we will hit you in your own back yard.
The details of this point could cover an entire volume, and I don’t mean with any woo woo, new age, crystals nonsense, but on the aspects related to neurology, physics and reality.
Be that as it may, the succinct point of it is that you should have by now realised the obvious:
The ENTIRETY of the mass media machine, irrespective of brand or who owns it or whether they are on “our” side or not, is fully geared to —-by design and by nature—- causing you to be in a constant state of anxiety.
Mild but constant panic mode. Rush mode. Do this by this time or else. Short breaths as if in fear, because you are. No time for yourself to read a book for fun, or play with your kids, or hear them say their thoughts, or teach them something, or learn what nonsense they are being told at school. And on, and on, and on, and on.
The only place where I saw relaxation being forced on you was Systema classes. And it is good. If you can learn to be calm internally when another guy is trying to hit you with a whip, or a stick, or a punch, or a training knife, it certainly develops you as a human being.
However, the low-level constant drip-drip of anxiety inducing information is far more subtle and insidious. You need to ward it off by a conscious act of rebellion.
They are gonna nuke my city!
Breathe deep. Relax. The bomb is not here now. Now I am here and I will breathe and watch the leaves on that tree for a few minutes as I let my mind rest.
Fuck! I don’t have money! I am not sure how I will buy groceries for my children this week!
Breathe. Sit down. Watch the river flow or the clouds move slowly. Or an ant in the grass. Let it all go. 5 or 10 minutes of calm and peace will not make things worse. Then, after, take a step, and another, find some work. Any work. After, find a way. And work it. The same way you fight a war. Calmly. Consciously. Control the chaos inside you. Hold the line. Everyone dies. No one gets out alive eventually, so walk. Stand. And walk on, towards what comes.
These attitudes that no one has taught you. These ways that used to be the mainstay of Catholic education for any man of faith, be he peasant or even more so warring knight or justiceering crusader or just curious explorer.
These ways, that the martyrs of the Catholic Church had above all men, walking calmly in joy to their death by lions at the circus in Rome, because they knew it would increase the spread of the gospels. Or tortured to death for becoming a Catholic there and then, like the Saint whose name I took at Baptism. Or walking on without food or water, their horses dying, to take Antioch under impossible conditions.
These ways are the ways of men.
These ways are the ways, of all kinds of men, from the noble savage to the eternally wrong atheist that doesn’t recognise his sense of honour as a divine spark, but especially, historically, overwhelmingly, they are the way of Catholic men. And as far as I can tell from all the Sedevacantists I have met, whether militant like me, or milder in nature, in either case, they do not lack the rhythm of an army marching without fear towards the places to be conquered.
Catholicism, despite being slandered, lied about and fooling millions by the Satanists currently usurping the Vatican, is a faith for adults.
And it is not a passive or defensive faith. There is a reason Catholicism is called the Church Militant. (No relation to the fake, gay, freemason filled “Church” of “ex” gay Gary Voris who also usurps the name).
Sedevacantist congregations continue to grow and they increase with young people, young couples who bear numerous children. Their places of worship are often overflowing and standing room only.
Oh but you’re few.
We don’t care. And watch. And wait.
Oh but you don’t have a Pope.
We don’t care. Eventually there will be one or it will be end times. Either one is fine with us.
Oh but you don’t have any valid priests or bishops.
Lie. We do. And will continue to do so.
Oh but what can you do, anyway.
Save our souls. And those of others we show the truth to and see. And obey God.
Oh but…
We don’t care. You can’t stop us. You can’t turn us. We will continue on and outbreed you, out reason you, and we have no need for fear or doubt, or even hope, because we know. We know.
You go ahead and complain, or criticise, or laugh, or persecute us, it makes no difference to us.
And above all, you know what we have inside?
Peace.
Calm.
Joy.
Discipline.
And nothing of the clown world out there gets us down. All the depressed and depressing and hopeless people? We just see that as a target rich environment for our message, the gospels. Our faith. The truth.
We are not surrounded by despair, we are lighting fires of faith everywhere around us.
Look at this video. Faced with the mildest of questions see how Billy nearly has a fit.
These are the overlords who are going to decide how we live, what we eat, if we have children, and what fake transgender bullshit they will be subjected to?
These are the masters of the Universe?
Karl Schwab who runs away from a basic interview question, Billy who nearly shits himself, and who? Soros with, if memory serves, some bisexual or anyway freaky degenerate son?
Billy, according to people that would know back in the day, never had anything to do with the “suck-cess” that was Microsoft, because apparently he spent all his time masturbating to porn.
This is what happens when the people who used to get stuffed in lockers and head-first in toilet bowls when I was in high-school instead have their life pre-paid by the Jewish financiers that want us to eat bugs and don’t get the benefit of some old-style bullying.
How much adversity do you think Billy has ever faced when he almost goes apoplectic at a simple softball question?
Why is anyone letting these miserable incel fucks tell us anything? Anything at all?
Because I tell you, I’m sure as shit not going along with ANYTHING Billy or his kind have planned for us all. Not one fucking millimetre of one thing.
What about you? And if you are, if you did, if you do, if you will, shame on you and all your progeny, if you’ll even have any.
UPDATE: Thanks to ChadBH from SG.
UPDATE 2: From a friend who shall remain nameless but that I know personally is not one to make things up:
“Just read the latest post. Many times, [REDACTED] (elite Jewish friend) tried to tell me what other elites had told him about BIlly. That he was mentally-deranged fool. Not his words, but the nutcase tantrums Billy would throw in boardroom meetings was relayed to him by a Microsoft board member.
I thought Bill Gates was a genius and he couldn’t be bonkers so I refused to believe it. My retort was, “How could he have built Microsoft then, outwitting competitors???”. [REDACTED] would always stare at me. Then try again a few weeks later.”
It is pretty clear if you watch that little mini documentary about him I posted earlier, that he is not neurotypical. And not in a good way. See how he rocks back and forth like some brain-damaged lemur?
PLEASE NOTE: I have ZERO commission, or any kind of business relationship with Wharram Designs. I bought a few of their study plans and wrote them a somewhat crazy email, thanking them for their work and Mr. Wharram for his designs. I received back a lovely letter and they posted me a gift of their two books and some articles. I highly recommend them and have links at the bottom for everything.
I have covered the big picture, (Part 1 of 4 is here) including many of the details that you need to shift to if you want to eventually be rid of the Globohomo Davos Trannies and their incel “elite” plans for you.
Alternative 1 is to just have a go-bag and weapons, whatever you can carry, a vehicle, that you can ideally sleep in, and have no family, friends of attachments, which I would assume is a very small number of people, and most of these are probably not of the healthiest frame of mind.
My Alternative 3 is not the famous one, though, if you have a spaceship, do come and see me we certainly need to talk!
My alternative 3 is the poor man’s version of the one where you jump into your anti-g spaceship and sail off to a better Galaxy.
I have been interested in yachts since I was a teenager. At age 16, I would have loved to have a yacht I could travel the world in, trading in odds and ends, like a merchant ship of old. I knew the world was already too filled with giant cargo ships to make that viable, but I also knew the world is a big place and someone always needs something somewhere, and if my upkeep was just my boat and myself, even “small” profit margins were probably ok for me to survive on. I read through a bunch of yachting magazines and even did a sailing course in Durban, while I kept trying to figure out how to get one. Yachts are expensive and normally not anything you can afford as a young guy who even almost ten years later was making ends meet by teaching karate, or working as a bodyguard, or even selling my first book, The Face on Mars (since updated). As it turns out I bought property with the proceeds of the book, and it was a better decision.
Perhaps, also, my having moved countries so much and relatively cheap flights making the long journeys at sea unnecessary to get where I wanted to go helped make me sort of forget my original dream, of sailing the world, probably around the equator, as I hate the cold, visiting remote tropical islands with their friendly suntanned females.
Whether by luck or providence, bad or good is hard to say, I did not come across the work of James Wharram. Then again, back then the internet did not exist and what yachting magazines I could get my hands on did not mention him. I know, because if I had come across a guy who was selling do it yourself designs of working, ocean capable catamarans, I definitely would have remembered.
I briefly toyed with possibly getting a dragonfly 25′ but even that was completely out of my reach financially in my mid 20s.
Well, James Wharram was a man after my own heart. He recently passed away, but he left an enduring legacy of catamaran designs that embody perfectly the spirit of adventure I had (and still have, despite 2 failed marriages, one awesome one I am currently living, and now 5 children).
If I was in my mid 20s now, I would almost certainly try and secure a place where to build it, then purchase one of the plans, selecting one depending on whether I had friends to help or not. Ideally, if I was just thinking of myself and my girlfriend/wife (and in today’s climate you really want it to be wife rather than girlfriend) I would probably go for the Tiki 30′ or Tiki 31′ design. Assuming I could afford the materials to build it. But if it’s just you or two of you and you’re willing to go at it even a bit rough and hard, even a tiki 21, design is good enough to escape the rat-race.
Now, make no mistake, building one of these is NOT a walk in the park. And sailing is NOT a joke. The ocean is like one of the old Gods of Ancient Greece. Read the Illiad and the Odyssey. Then read of how many die a watery death for being unprepared, untrained, or maybe just unlucky.
BUT. Think about it. A Tiki 21′ was successfully sailed across the Atlantic in 34 days. A Tiki 26′ sleeps 2 in the hulls with a chart table and galley, perfect for a young couple. And a deck tent would extend it to another 2, though your range would be limited.
If you stuck to the tropics, a Tiki 31′ could not only be a working boat, but also a cruiser for a couple.
The most versatile of the smaller designs, I think is the Tiki 30′ and also, comparatively easier to build, at only 900 hours, it almost makes no sense to build a Tiki 26′ which is about 700 hours.
Now… it is an absolute fact that many who start never finish, and even those who do can take years, but, gentle reader, whenever have I written for the average normie?
No, no, I write for the crazies, the fundamentalist Catholics, the zealots, the explorers and adventurers that have the blood of the old Venetian spice traders, or the Genoese discoverer of America, aptly named Cristoforo, or the Spanish conquistadors, and all other great adventuring tribes and people. I write for those determined enough that they would study the build plans of a Tiki 30′, which only cost £1035, after they first got the study plans, for a mere £19.50, obsessively. And calculate the costs and trips to get all the relevant materials, then beg, borrow or find a way to have a place to build it, and the tools for it, and then… figure out that 900 hours is a mere 90 days without breaks of ten hour shifts. A mere flirtation with Death and Father Time, really.
Of course, I am partial to the Tiki designs for some aesthetic reason, but there are numerous alternatives, and of course, if you have the funds, you could buy pre-built ones, or second hand ones and so on.
In my folly, at the age of 26, I actually called up a guy in Ireland that was selling a 70′ trimaran about 20-25 years old, pretty much only a year or so younger than I was. He was selling it very cheaply and also had the building plans. When I called him he told me he had already sold it, but he asked what experience I had on the sea. I said none. He was incredulous and laughed, telling me this was no boat for complete greenhorns. I told him that the prospect of learning how to skipper such a boat, even with the chance it might kill me if I screwed up, didn’t worry me. Not following my dreams was scarier. He then spent a good half an hour talking with me. Being an Irishman he probably could relate to the partially insane.
Anyway, the point is, if you’re tired of all the bullshit, of all the fakeness and gayness in life, and long for the few prospects of a meaningful and adventurous life, if you are healthy enough and determined enough, there is no reason you couldn’t build one of these boats and sail to warmer climates. Island hop and find other ways to live.
I also very strongly recommend James’ books, I have already read Two Girls Two Catamarans, which is a pretty amazing story. Mr. Wharram was obviously a bit of a libertine, but the way he faced life and the level of adventure and sheer determination he showed is quite astonishing. It is also inspiring, not so much for his having achieved every 16 year old’s dream of sailing an all-female crewed boat where you are on intimate terms with the whole crew, but, more importantly, showed what could be done, and still can be done if you adapt, and what will be possible to do again once we overcome the Davos Transgender, Transhumanist, “eat bugs and be happy” scum. The will and dreams of one man can achieve the seemingly impossible.

I am now 53, as I said, with a non-working olive tree farm and natural truffle farm, very little money, and five children, the older two being 11 and 7 and the rest all under 4 years old, the latest one not even 3 months old.
Our house still needs some painting and additional work on it to have all the wardrobes and things we will need as the children get older. Tomorrow is the first day of creche for the two little ones.
And my wife, though some would (and have) describe her as “trying to achieve Sanctification” I assume, of course, for her need to keep up with such a great catholic as myself eh… I can’t even bring myself to say it as a joke, but anyway, let’s say that being the party girl she was, and me being the savage I still am, and likely always will be, life has been interesting since we got together, and pretty much non-stop. I mean, our wedding anniversary will come up in a few months and it will then be 5 years.
In that time, we have:
Moved 3 times
Including moving all our stuff from the last home to a new country
Had one miscarriage…
…and three children
Spent the last 2 years so far, getting the house and farm in some kind of liveable order
We have travelled to Southern Africa to see my brother and my dad (each in a different country)
Went to Switzerland for a friend’s wedding, while my wife had a broken foot, on which, with an air-boot type thing on, she danced with me at the wedding reception of my friend, because, eh…broken foot is one thing, but you know…music! The woman can’t help herself when music comes on.
Driven through Europe from Venice to London, in my little convertible Mercedes I had bought when I was single and living in Venice.
Done it the other way too and then a bit more, in two cars, she with 3 children in the car, including our then 4 month old, and she did a 16 hour stretch, arriving to our place that didn’t even have a working sink in the kitchen, just a tap out the wall.
Had my daughter come and live with us too.
And that’s just the stuff I remember off the top of my head. To say it’s been easy would be a hilarious joke. Especially to her, since she was pretty much a city girl and had no real intention of being some kind of farm woman from the 1800s.
I do tease her from time to time, by telling her:
“See, it’s all you dreamed of. If they’d told you ten years ago that you’d be living with a tall, handsome, olivine skinned stranger, with our five children, in an idyllic olive grove farm with truffles and a forest you would have swooned.”
Her grumbling replies range from “I told you I used to be really stupid!” to “I’d tell myself to run! Run!”
They do say that couples who stay together to the end of their lives tend to tease each other with little barbs regularly. If that’s true, we’re going to the grave together in advanced old age.
But anyway, I tell you all this, because I wanted to give you a sense of why I haven’t yet told her that I am kinda thinking about, eventually, you know, one day, before we’re too old or anything like that, to maybe, like, possibly, build a Tiki boat from James Wharram Designs. I really am only looking at the Tiki 30’… sort of. Mostly because right now, even the plans are an expense we would be absolutely insane to make, never mind the building of it. But then again… with all the kids, we really should be looking at a Tiki 46′. I think maybe I can sell her on it. I mean, it’s only an estimated 4000 hours build! That’s just a couple of months more than a year working 10 hours a day on it non-stop. Weekends included and no matter the weather.
Maybe I should mention the importance of Sainthood more. I mean, it’s a good story…
From club promo girl…
To Sainthood.
You know, nice anchor, sword, weapon-stuff… thematic.
I may have to skip the part about how that particular Saint ended up though.
Then again, I have had a good life. If I end up murdered in my sleep I can’t complain too much.
And for those of you that missed it, my point is simply this:
Live, young man, LIVE! If a crazy bastard like me can still think about this stuff (and do it in a heartbeat if I scrounge up the money, somehow), what’s your excuse?
My take on Lent is that while one might argue about Fish on Fridays, and so on, ultimately, the point of Lent is three-fold.
Giving a correct sense of reverence, respect, remembrance and proper honouring of our Lord’s harsh path through this Earth.
Fasting, as with most mortifications of the flesh, inspires a deeper sense of the numinous, a better understanding of prayer and so on. A chosen “hardship” invariably is one that produces results easier and in a better fashion, generally speaking than a God-sent one (especially if you’ve ignored all signs he may have sent before).
It teaches you discipline, over a period that is more than a day or two.
These are all useful things, however, I am also very aware of the passage in Romans 14:14
“I know, and am confident in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself; but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.”
I have not followed Lent pretty much at all, with some small temporary exceptions, however, throughout my life, I have taken periods where I would not touch a specific thing. Like no sugar, or no alcohol, or no coffee, or whatever. Sometimes these were related to food/drink as a general health boost, although I never really suffered from anything that would need me to make such choices. It was primarily a result of my martial arts training and me wanting to discipline my mind in things other than mere training and fighting, and since eating and drinking are pretty instinctual, I decided to take time to experiment. I at times went up to six months without drinking any alcoholic drink, or touching anything sugary, and so on. It is a good practice to do.
I have also done water only fasts for several days and complete fasts for up to 48 hours (no water or anything else) while going about my day in a normal manner. All these practices make you more aware of the spiritual in some way or other, though they might be difficult for some people who are not used to it and obviously, as always, you are responsible for your own actions. Don’t go doing some weird fast that ruins your health and blame it on me or having read this blog.
So I take Lent in that spirit. My last post might not be perfect from a Lent point of view, especially of a priest of a layman that knows his stuff, but it is a first approach for me, and given that generally I tend to favour meat, since grains and so on often are not ideal for me, it should be an interesting test for me to undergo.
I posted the Idiot’s Guide to Lent precisely so that people who are not familiar with it can maybe tag along and try it in a similar fashion.
Anyway, that’s my take.
Enjoy the next 40 days of tiny, self-chosen, privation.
So… wait… the head of the ADL…
Yup. He said it. So, just to be clear, he admits it could be a hoax, but even if it is, it’s not a Jewish plot at all.
Ok. I’d like to know who would have had any interest in making it a hoax. Was it the Chinese? And was it them too that somehow never mention the 100 million people killed by Jewish people in Russia and so on?
I mean China is the next bad guy right? Right after Russia, so… yeah, must be an evil Chinese plot.
