The Coming Ice Age and Reflecting on Great Men

I have been predicting this (by using science that is actually backed up by observation, instead of political narratives) on this blog, since at least November 2021, as I wrote then:

The only model of global weather patterns and “climate change” that has been something like 97-98% accurate for the last 30 years is a Russian model that is based on the Sun’s activity. For context, the last ice-age only 2 of the Sun’s magnetic fields had gone out of phase. This time it’s all 4. You keep believing in global warming if you want, you special child in a yellow bus, you, but I strongly suggest you buy an extra jumper this Christmas. 

But of course, my prediction of potential pole shift has been exactly on track since 1995, as explained in the original version of The Face on Mars.

I tell you, honestly, if meritocracy was ever a thing on this planet my ideas and concepts would have already catapulted me into riches and fame my children would not be able to spend in their lifetime. But then again, throughout human history, while occasionally the men that figured out really important stuff or did important things do get eventually some post-humous fame, most remain anonymous and unknown in their own lifetime. Tesla, Leonidas, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and others may have been as close as it gets to getting known for their genius while they lived. People like Harold Aspden, Nikolai Alexandrovich Kozyrev, Burkhardt Heim, and the half dozen or so that were plagiarised by the sexually incestuous, child abandoning, fraud called Albert Einstein, will for most people remain unknowns.

I suspect I will suffer a similar fate, perhaps the stuff I write about now will be seen in the future as “prescient” or “ahead of its time” but in any case I doubt it can ever be allowed to “spread” other than by literal word of mouth of the small pockets of literate people who still read books of some substance.

My grandfather, who was born in 1907, when I saw him one of the last times, in the late 1990s, asked me what The Face on Mars was about. I spent about 2 hours talking to him about the concepts in it and how they all tied together. He interrupted only a few times to ask pertinent questions that I was working towards anyway. At the end of it he asked me how the book was doing. I told him I had managed to sell enough of them by going physically to bookshops and doing signings outside their doors for a day just before Christmas to put a sizeable deposit on a piece of bare land up the West Coast a hundred or so kilometres from Cape Town, in South Africa.

He asked me if it had been picked up by major book distributors. I told him no, despite it having appeared briefly on CNN and a few TV programmes in the USA and UK and on radio in South Africa.

He nodded sagely and said: “That’s what I thought. You were born too early. They might understand this stuff about 200 years from now.”

While most people might feel frustrated by such a view (and from time to time it does bother me a little, but not anywhere near as much as anyone assumes, and in a way that is quite different from the way anyone expects) I was genuinely flattered. My grandfather, who as time passes has grown in my estimation of a man I loved and respected already when he was alive, had not only understood everything I spoke of, anticipated some of it as I was telling him, but given his life experience, had truly grasped its essence in the wider context of the human experience. If I had any regrets it would be of not having said thank you to him for those words. Then again, the Filotto men have never been overly demonstrative with each other. Not for lack of feeling, passion, or some misguided view of propriety; it’s just that we sense things and know. Words often reduce instead of edify.

Anyway, in case you were fooled by the constant idiotic nonsense of “global warming”, I hope that you are finally realising that the most likely future is a very frigid one.

Don’t take my word for it. Look up those links and research that now 35 year old model of weather on Earth modelled on the Sun’s activity (memory-holed though it seems to be after a cursory search) and as always: Know (for) Yourself.

PS: Yes, I realise by the title of this post and what I wrote, that I seem to be placing myself in the ranks of “great men”, but that is not the intent at all. My generally quasi autistic lack of concern about social status simply tends to not process things as most people do, which often results in misunderstandings based on the average normie ego. My point in this post was not about my “greatness” but rather about the overall importance of ideas ahead of their time, and while yes, I had more than a few such ideas, I do not (yet) consider myself in the same category as the men I mentioned, and only time, and probably other people’s eventual objective opinions will determine where I fall in the hierarchy of men who had figured out some relevant things. Probably after I reach the end of my life anyway, so it’s not something I give much importance to either way.

On War and Civil Unrest – Part 1 – Human IQ

This post on Substack is worth reading: https://www.anarchonomicon.com/p/yes-individual-iq-matters-in-war

In fact, his whole Substack is pretty cool. And his points in that post are absolutely worth keeping in mind.

And in case you want to take part in an really fun and funny idea that used to actually happen in the 1980s, you might want to get together with a bunch of friends and play this role playing game.

(Cheaper if you just want the PDF here)

Then you might want to make it even more entertaining by using the actual terrain you find yourself in to play it out as a LARP. That is, an actual Live Action Role Play. The way you would do this is NOT by running around with actual guns, obviously, but rather, use say your phone camera to take a picture of the “enemy”. If the person has a body part that falls exactly in the centre of a cross that is the middle of your photograph (draw a cross on your screen if you need to in some way that rubs off) then they could be considered to have been “sniped”. Or if they get in their car and you had taped a piece of paper with written on it “bomb” and they drive off, you could be considered to have achieved a kill on your enemy.

You can, of course, play this game with unsuspecting strangers without molesting anyone, as long as you don’t break any laws, you could take a picture of “enemy combatants” (say anyone wearing any item of clothing that is red) to show your friends you achieved a hit, then delete the image. Or possibly only indicate to your friends how you would avoid or engage such “enemies” by your movements. All done without acting in ways that disturb people who have better things to do than get annoyed by people running around playing at “war” (but really learning some important things about reality even as you play).

In the long-ago of 1981, this game came out called Killer that introduced Live Action RPG.

You can even buy a copy of one of the various iterations of the game here. Or find a free PDF at the archive here.

Today, you could use similar gaming principles to practice reading maps, hiking over terrain and learning how to move about in your local area with a view towards being a small unit in a civil war scenario.

Silly as the idea may sound… are you really telling me such an exercise would not be:

A) Educational, and

B) Hilarious

Because you know it would be both. So what are you waiting for? Start practicing, because learning as you play is the way you REALLY learn.

The IMPORTANT STUFF

This pinned post aims to give both new and old visitors the quick links to the main parts of this site that are most important, and gets updated with any new stuff fairly regularly so it’s a good idea to check it now and then.

Blog Look Will Remain Unchanged

The People have spoken. I will also add a brief (say under 9,000 words!) explanation as to why.

Perhaps my binging of the series Mad Men has inclined me to explain myself more than usual concerning a topic I hardly ever mention but that is actually quite important to me: Aesthetics.

And since you all have short attention spans I put a heading below in underlined bold you can skip to.

The Poll remains open so it may accumulate more votes over time, but I am also quite sure that most of the critics have spoken already.

I also received some texts and emails and one of the most balanced was an email that explained how the eye naturally tracks from top left to bottom right for Westerners, and that while, yes, the fruitfly attention span is a real thing, and people probably don’t even notice the sidebars and links there, this site has a unique look that is not really found anywhere else; and that —for anyone with a little discernment— makes it stand out from the endless deserts of slick, clean, pristine, and sterile sites that all resemble each other.

And he has a point. I don’t know about you, but I can barely stomach seeing another substack layout.

He was probably too polite to point out what my most constructive critic spells out, which is that he thinks the blog looks like a Warhammer 40K site and that there is so much content it looks like a reddit sub with 50,000 posts.

While I resent the Reddit comparison, I understand this site is not one-dimensional, and that can be “overwhelming” for some, after all, I cover everything from Ancient Technology to the Zombie Apocalypse, and everything in between, with serious posts about astronomy, Mars, The Catholic Church, Martial Arts, Christianity, Hypnosis, Science Fiction deeply steeped in Nazi “Conspiracy theories” that are rooted in factual events, random thoughts on the farming life, occasional humorous anecdotes about my not quite feral, but certainly savage children, and many, many, other topics, as the categories list (now fixed after the hack attack) on the right clearly shows.

So, yeah, I guess the average overstimulated, non-existent attention-span, partially woke, partially boomerzeigest infected, possibly apathetic GenXer, depressed Millennial, or stoned GenZ reader may find the site too much “effort” to peruse, investigate, navigate, and explore.

I get it.

But you see, as I wrote back in 2009 when I created this site’s look, from scratch, out of my own ideas and head, and despite it offering both Hypnosis Services (which are actually being requested more lately, with good results in general) as well as a link to my E-store for digital versions of books I wrote (most of which are also on Amazon), and some watercolours I do when time permits, the primary thing this site is about is not what you might think.

It is not politics, hypnosis, science, science fiction, writing, or really any of the categories listed on the right; but rather, it is about an overall, encompassing category I mentioned right at the very origin of this site:

Exploration.

As I wrote in 2009 (the site launched in early 2010 but I had written up the various pieces a few months earlier):

The world we inhabit, and the universe we find ourselves in, is an absolutely incredible and fascinating thing. In truth, almost everything I do stems from my ever-growing curiosity about many, many things. 

This site means to attract a very unique type of reader.

The ideal daily visitor is a person that is still curious about life and the world we live in. Increasingly frustrated or angered by the increasing enstupidation and zombification of humanity all around us, but not crippled by it. Not a nihilist or a person lacking in hope and ability as a result of the grind they put us all under. I want the rebels that prefer to live out in the wastelands with single action revolvers, filtered water catchment tanks, solar panels, and water turbines, far away from the drug-addled inhabitants of the Brave New World Cities where you will be provided for, own nothing, and be drugged, lied to and brainwashed into “happiness”.

Such people will NEVER agree with everything I think, opine on or write. There will be things I say that will piss them off, or they will disagree with, BUT and this is key, they are the type of person that CAN be persuaded by facts. And as such, even the things I write that may piss them off may later, one day, when presented in a way that suits them more, be digested, metabolised and assimilated. They may, in fact, change their mind. And sometimes they may change mine.

Everyone likes to think they are that type of person, who can change his mind based on solid facts, but I estimate that at minimum over 85% of people are simply not. And if I had to guesstimate the actual number of people that can turn their long-held beliefs on a dime when presented with irrefutable evidence, I would say that at the most optimistic and generous, it is under 2%.

So, I know. I am my own worst enemy from a financial, economic, or fame perspective. And while I care absolutely not at all for fame, I could certainly appreciate being able to make a living just from my writing and sharing of concepts, stories, and ideas I have discovered in my rather eventful life. That would be truly awesome.

But not at the cost of my integrity.

I ENJOY writing this blog. And while it lay mostly dormant for years at a time, because my life was too full, chaotic and dynamic for me to give this much thought, since 3 years ago, I have begun an attempt to create a stable family home. It’s not a coincidence given I have also fathered three children in the last 5 years.

And while I have no more time (in fact, probably less), no less chaos, and certainly a LOT more worries and a LOT less money than I did before, continuing to write here actually gives me some of the spiritual fuel that inspires me and keeps me going.

Yes, the Satanists in charge may nuke the site tomorrow from orbit, or I may get droned or microwaved into a “heart attack” for it, or whatever.

C’est la vie.

But in the meantime I’ll carry on as I see fit.

And in doing so, the people that will most likely be attracted to this site are the types who WILL look at the links on the sidebars.

The types of people who DO read full length books and enjoy them, even if they too are harassed, squashed into cubicles, robbed of their time and sanity and souls every day.

They are the people who remain curious, defiant, who are able to change their mind based on facts, enjoy a story or a laugh with a man they agree on some things with and disagree on others, without either one ever losing respect for each other.

They are the type who, perhaps, also understand my sense of taste.

The Aesthetics of this most Excellent and Tonic Verbarium of Ideas

In my opinion, the last natural, real, honest, scientists, were best exemplified in the late 1800s. It was a time when equipment and machinery was crafted with care and skill, but also with a pleasing aesthetic.

Scientific observation was meticulously undertaken with patient recording of results and while the scientific method was held to tightly, the imagination of men was unfettered. We could envision sky-ships and then we built them.

Cognac and good cigars were served in the well-furnished libraries of men who could theorise on the laws of gravity as easily as discuss the possibility of remote areas of the world that might house supposedly extinct species. Men who would travel to far-away lands to explore ancient and mysterious ruins to discover the real origins of mankind. Men who did not fear an intellectual conversation, nor a brawl when the occasion called for it. Men who could argue honestly in search of truth, not the mere satisfaction of ego.

Such is the design of this site.

The slightly baroque look of the wallpaper reminiscent of hand-crafted wood-panelling, the various links and addendums to the site analogous to hidden doors in the library, or a secret panel in the desk, behind which was to be found even more astonishing information and locations.

It was a time where a man could be a real scientist, an explorer, a polymath, hold his own in discussions with the most esteemed experts of various royal societies, but not shy away from a bare knuckle fight or a duel with rapiers at dawn.

It was a better time, when men (and women) of good breeding, or at least quick wit, were naturally more observant, could make something of themselves through their own efforts, and were free to explore thoughts, ideas, lands and cultures with no one bothering them too much beyond possibly trying to kill them for time to time; but usually for economic or personal reasons, which are at least understandable, unlike much of the wokeness of the present day.

So that, is the look I was going for.

And I would say it has stood the test of time.

It is not a design that has “aged out”.

It was intentionally started as something you might expect to find well over one hundred years ago, in a slightly cyberpunkish, Space 1899, Jules Verne and HG Wells novel, sort of way.

The intent here, is that while the tone can range from rough and brusque to rarefied and abstract, the point is freedom to think. Freedom to explore.

And in fact, in writing out this explanation for you, gentle readers and kind supporters of my work (and yes, you too, those who hate-read here in fury, and even you, Dean, 30-year veteran of the NSA/CIA/FBI/Spook outfit that is designated as my personal agent), I am reminded of that original intent as well as the ways I may have strayed from it here and there, as every man will.

At times my tone has been cruder than I prefer, but then, it is a very raw and evil world we inhabit, and I, nor my target audience, is a prude. The odd curse or graphic sentence here and there is not anything I will lose sleep over, but perhaps, I can find a better way to temper my expressions.

I do not know yet if this site will ever reach a large enough readership that it might result in continued patronage of the things I offer and mention here, I hope it does, and soon. But regardless if it ever does or not, I will continue to write here in this spirit; and the changes that might come to this site (other than what Dean and his friends might have in store for us all) will probably be limited to a consolidation, of various concepts or topics. Perhaps an addition of a forum for people to discuss various ideas.

And there is certainly scope for people to contribute.

The SOE side of things has never taken off because the readership I have is small, and we are all increasingly struggling to survive, but the structure for it is all identified and it would be awesome if other natural scientists from around the world took it upon themselves to do experiments, report them back here and get them to be added to the Adventure Science Library, which I have not had a chance to work on and update in years.

Similarly, you might want to actually physically join me in Italy or at least contribute to the efforts of The Kurganate. One man already has bought property near me, another lives here already, and more would come here tomorrow if they had the funds to do so. Some are working towards it.

Or you might just support my efforts by reading my books, or subscribing with a membership to my YouTube channel.

Or… you could simply use the share button at the bottom of each blog post (you need to actually click on the blog post individually for the button to appear at the end of a post, but we are working on it showing even if you are just on the main page) and send whatever post interests you to a friend.

In Conclusion

I know this site is not for everyone.

It was never meant to be.

It was always meant to be for that discerning, objective, rational, curious, adventurous yet scientific type of person. Maybe they all died out in the late 1800s, or maybe I really am from Mars, and was transported here as a very small baby, in a perverse reversal of John Carter’s situation. But whatever the case may be, and as much harder as becoming a Warlord of Terra is, I plan to continue on as a, possibly Martian, erudite polymath, with a large vocabulary, a small to inexistent capacity for suffering fools, and a partiality for rapiers, blades and firearms, exploring ancient ruins, and hunting for cryptids.

As all the best of my kind from 1888 or so did.

The Level of Lies

The more you discover the truth, however partial, about pretty much any event in history, the more you become simultaneously disillusioned with humanity at large as well as astonished at how thoroughly you were fooled by the lies.

Even the best of us bought wholesale into narratives that are not just complete fabrications, but actually the opposite of the truth.

So disorienting are these discoveries that they make you question the very foundation of belief itself. And when you begin to do that, paradoxically, you become more susceptible to other lies.

You discover some aspect of the narrative about physics is quite different than has been presented, along with, for example, the fact that Einstein was a plagiarist, an incestuous sex pervert and that he abandoned his first wife and son to utter misery, and it shakes you. And the subsequent discoveries about the level of deception and lies surrounding the origins of the Apollo program, the fake and impossible images of the Moon landings, and things like what went on in Carlos the Bariloche, or Operation Highjump, or the nuking of Antarctica in the 1950s and before you know it, if you are not mentally strong and careful and intelligent enough to figure things out from baseline principles of irrefutable math and observation, you’re going to find yourself believing absolutely ridiculous nonsense like the Earth being flat, or “postmodernist art” actually being art instead of the CIA funded psyops it has always been.

You realise that 9/11 was not done by a poor bunch of Arabs with boxcutters, and that the USS Liberty was sunk and the servicemen on it strafed by the same people that were dancing on a nearby rooftop while 9/11 was happening, and again, before you know it, you lose the ability to process the world around you objectively. The sense of betrayal or even collapse of a sense of self-assurance and confidence os traumatic, and our response is often an over correction of some kind.

And this is how you fall into yet more lies. More traps, placed there intentionally by those who would very much prefer all of us were kept in absolute ignorance and deception.

The belief you have to trade your very life for the mere ability to continue existing and being able to purchase food and clothing for yourself and your family, often doing things that are unnatural for your body, mind, and spirit, and trading massive amounts of time that should be spent with your family instead, is pervasive.

Mention the very idea that we should be striving NOT to abolish the concept of work itself, but the concept of FIAT money, and 95% people will look at you with glazed eyes if at all. The other 5% will assume you belong in a mental asylum.

And yet, the absolute fact is that fiat money is a complete fraud. An illusion we have all been forced i to accepting as some fundamental fact of life, as of it were as real and solid as the sun, and as real intrinsically as mathematics.

Fiat money is generated out of literally nothing other than the wishes of those who have created the system for it. It can be created out of nothing other than their endless greedy desire for dominion over you, issued to all governments on Earth at face value and at interest. They can bestow infinite quantities of it to those who push and protect their lies and dominating agenda, and removed totally along with imprisonment, death and ruin on those who challenge their rule in any way.

But tell people that Fiat money is a lie, an illusion, and that a different system could be implemented very quickly, if only enough of us took the hour or so it takes to educate yourself at least at a basic level and then organised peacefully to do so, and people will think you are far crazier than those who (with mostly good reasons) believe the moon landings never happened.

And yet, not only is it true, but it occasionally, if briefly, been demonstrated empirically through human history. Briefly because anyone that had any success with it was soon destroyed for it, and his people often along with him.

Bit to know this, you need to learn some of the hidden truths about historical events that have been buried under lies, and levels of lies, of a fantastically spectacular, grandiose, elaborate and interconnected web of deceit.

There are very few places that you can find the truth of things, and even those will tend to also over-emphasise this or that fact, perhaps, and understandably, as reaction to the pervasive lies.

At any rate, here is a very, very, very, short list of things and places you may find some of those hidden truths, with a brief note after each.

Kurgan TV – 155 videos on everything from the face on mars to the lies of history, the trivium, the Catholic Church and other concepts. We will be adding more videos in 2025. Your support on this helps us maintain the site and grow it too.

The Crusades – Iron Men and Saints – Put the lie to the entire narrative of Islam/Catholicism and the Eastern Schismatics, Providing incontestable historical fact to an event that even if almost a thousand years in our past remains absolutely relevant today.

The Face on Mars – To date, I still believe this is probably the single volume that most comprehensibly addresses the entire general lie(s) we all are raised in. Starting with the real origins of Humanity, all the way to the kind of technology being hidden from us, ancient technology that has been suppressed, modern one that is being hidden, the apparent paradoxes between religion and historical facts, astronomical realities of our solar system and so on. I get emails regularly that tell me how a reader’s mind has been cleared of a lot of the fog we are all living in just as the result of reading this one volume.

The Origins of WWII – The Greatest Story Never Told – is a series of short videos that all-together is some 6 hours long, but you can watch it in various little episodes at a time. It may not be representing ALL the facts, but what it does, is certainly present some of the undeniable reasons of why the Second World War Happened, as well as why certain things happened that we are simply NOT told in school at all. Germany didn’t just invade Poland for no reason at all. the Poles had slaughtered 58,000 ethnic Germans before that took place. Di you even know that? Many such pieces of information are presented in this series of short videos that will give a far more balanced perspective than the simplistic and totally absurd one we have all marinated in for almost 80 years of: The Nazis were just the most evil people ever and Adolph Hitler just came to power as the antichrist for no reason at all, and really all Germans are kind of evil anyway.

If you only consume those four things, your total investment is about 60 bucks total for a month (assuming you only get a month long membership to Kurgan TV instead of a yearly one), and reading two books.

The benefit of it is that you will have a MUCH better grasp of how things really work on this planet and it will be a LOT harder to fool you into buying into whatever new lies they will come up with to feed us all.

It certainly is a worthwhile investment when you compare it to the decades that discovering just a fraction of this information in one place usually takes people who are extremely tenacious and curious throughout their life, who get interested in one or two of the topics covered above, never mind several.

So, I hope this helps show you some of the truth behind the lies, and that it helps you free yourself from the worst of them.
