There are only two types of men

Those who have a line; and hold it.

And those who do not.

Now, a man’s line may vary somewhat over time, as life and experience gradually (or occasionally suddenly) make him aware of things he did not know, errors of judgement, or lies he has unwittingly believed.

But in essence, a man that has a line will hold the line regardless of where and when he is.

It’s the difference between someone willing to die for an ideal and those who are not.

While neither type of man is guaranteed to be ethical, there is a difference between them in that even if amoral, those who have a line are reliable at least as it concerns that line, while the others are not.

Historically such men, with a line, will tend to become the leaders of disaffected groups in any unjust society, and organise other men of this same type into an irregular “army” to take care of the many injustices and the corrupt, supposedly “elected”, leaders, and their nefarious minimums.

In many cases, such men started what later became known as criminal organisations, be it the mafia, triads, or yakuza, but in origin, starting from the “bandits” of Southern Italy, these were local men with the capacity, acumen and courage to do violence upon their and their people’s enemies, in direct response to injustices perpetrated on them.

Over time, such men, absent a moral imperative that they must believe in themselves at a profound level, will eventually, and inevitably, become corrupted, and if not them, their sons and grandsons will. Because once you cross the line of being willing to go against the “law” (however unjust it may be) in order to serve the greater good of “justice” from a human perspective, you will quickly realise that the “law” of the/any government, is no more and no less than the imposition of whatever rules by the use or threat of physical force. And who of us can’t do better than government work? So if you were to succeed at imposing your will on (initially) the government, how long would it be before you decide that you can impose it on whoever/everyone?

Did you know that Pablo Escobar had tried to become part of the government of Colombia? And while his “business” was brutal, and it is not politically viable to say so, are you certain that had he succeeded his rule would have been worse for the locals than the current government of Colombia? Because I for one don’t have enough relevant and verified information to be sure either way.

I do know, however, that someone like Pinochet was (and continued to be) vilified for having taken over Chile by force, and having stopped communism there by making some 3,000 people disappear, and having some other 30,000 or so escape that country. Bad guy right?

Except that in every single example we have from history of communist regimes coming to power, not only are millions of people displaced, but often millions are murdered, and certainly NEVER less than many tens of thousands.

Given these two alternatives, it seems obvious that Pinochet should be considered a heroic figure. But that does not suit the narrative of the people that run this planet.

Just like it does not suit their narrative for you to know a few choice bits of information, such as:

  • How fiat money actually works
  • How fiat money actually came about
  • Why usury used to be completely illegal in Catholic (and other countries)
  • How and why usury is not required at all for a functioning society and is in fact detrimental to it
  • How and why the royal houses of Europe were systematically destroyed over time
  • What is the real story behind Vatican II and who instigated and implemented it and how long they took to get there
  • What is actual Catholic dogma compared to what they tell you it is in the Novus Ordo, post Vatican II fake and impostor “Church”
  • Why it matters, and why as a result we can honestly say the only Catholics left are 1958 sedevacantists
  • What the dogmatic rules of Judaism are
  • Who is pushing the globohomo agenda of homosexuality being taught in primary schools, transgenderism and all manner of sexual “education” at ever younger ages, and how it is being financed
  • What the Universal Commercial Code countries are “required” to have and why and how it came about
  • What the real reasons that WWI was started and fought, who the instigators of it were and how they did it and why.
  • As above for World War II
  • As above for the “Enlightenment” and the French revolution
  • As above for the funding and real reasons behind the American revolution and later the American civil war
  • Who runs the largest operations of child rape, trafficking, murder cannibalism and literal harvesting of adrenochrome from these children
  • How the above child raping and murdering people also run and blackmail various participants and install them into positions of power around the world
  • The real origins of things like the World Economic Forum, the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderberger group, the various secret societies from the Freemasons, skull and crossbones, the Carbonari, Rosicrucians, Golden Dawn and on and on, and how they are all connected by a thread leading invariably to a specific group of people
  • Why and how all of these things are connected

Because once you find out all of the above and connect them, you will realise at minimum two things:

1. This planet is run and operates on basically lies, at almost all levels of functionality. The entire thing is so absurdly run on false premises that are built on nothing but lies to an extent that most human beings simply are not mentally equipped to handle without feeling absolutely overwhelmed by despair.

2. The actual real history of Catholicism and its real actual dogmatic teachings is the one story about how and why this planet works as it does that not only makes sense, but fits all the available evidence we have, AND models reality so well it can be used to predict how certain things will go both in the small and individual scale as well as the large and global one, to a degree that no other theory or ideology comes even close.

I lived with realisation n. 1 above from the age of 26 to 43 without having realisation n. 2. And yet, I did not despair at all. That alone makes me rather uncommon. Then from age 43 to 47 I investigated realisation n. 2 obsessively to make sure that, absurd as it had seemed to me for my whole life, this realisation n. 2 was in fact true.

If you do this, you also become aware that Catholicism is the only philosophy and religion that has warned us about all the evil people involved in the lies and demonic shit mentioned in that partial bullet-point list above. Which tends to perk your ears up.

Then you realise it is also the only religion that upheld the required use of violence against evil which is innate and intrinsic to every even partially decent human being that ever lived.

That is, in Catholicism, the use of violence to protect yourself or others (and especially innocents) from evil is not just permitted, it is in fact considered the duty of every lay Catholic. The only other alternative is to choose martyrdom for yourself; that is, the consciously allowing yourself to be imprisoned, tortured, and/or killed in the name of justice and our Lord Jesus Christ.

Those are the only two acceptable ways to deal with evil for a Catholic.

At which point you realise why the same people that perpetrate all the evil on this Earth spent literally centuries to infiltrate and subvert Catholicism, culminating in the creation of the fake “Catholic Church” that has had only fake “Popes” promoting its destruction since 28th October 1958.

Catholics, Catholicism and the Catholic Church have and has been the ONLY effective force on Earth that has ever managed to resist the evil that occurs on this planet and for a time at least reduce it enough to create the best living conditions humanity has ever had in its entire history.

And the means of victory remain fully at our disposal, despite the massive blow that Vatican II was.

There remain more real Catholics today on Earth (Sedevacantists) than were ever present in Rome and our planet during the persecutions of Emperor Nero. And we have far better communication lines open and far more valid priests and Bishops than used to be around back then. As well as fully functional Church services.

Most important of all, because our battle is NOT primarily fought in the physical plane, our numbers are NOT a deciding factor in the fight. Rather our convictions, prayer and internal emotional and spiritual state is far more relevant.

Of course this does not invalidate the physical, which remains an undeniable, real, and important part of life (and as long as we inhabit the material world will remain so), but it does invert the order of importance:

The spiritual/mental/faith based part of the fight is in my estimation at least 80% of the fight, with the physical being 20% at most. And most of that 20% is in things like simply putting in the physical effort to do what is required, be it showing up at work, doing what needs doing, learning what needs learning and taking effective, regular, constant action towards the goals that will result in the maximum human freedom and good, which ultimately comes down to:

1. Creating communities of people that understand all of the above, and decide to band together to:

A) become self-sufficient in all things, from clean water and food to medical, energy and defence.

B) take over local government and instilling actual Catholicism at all levels

2. Defending 1. above against all enemies by all means available

3. If and when it becomes necessary to do so, use force to defend yourself and your community from evil doers who would use force on you and yours.

If you do a really good job of 1 and 2 by non-violent means, 3 may never be required, but in any case, it is best to have the capacity for 3, because on this Earth, the only real rights you have, are the ones you have sufficient force to be able to protect.

If you have read and digested all of this post correctly, you may now have come to an overall conclusion, which is that there are three types of men, rather than only two:

1. Those who do not have a line and hold it.

2. Those who do and have no ethical basis that is based in justice and goodness.

3. Those who do and do.

And if you have been paying attention, the first on that list are not men who count, at least not in my eyes and I think, not so much in the eyes of God either.

So what you have left are men who are Catholic, and men who are not. So… just two types of men.

Not all Catholics are always good and not all non-Catholics are bad, but broadly speaking one type will create societies that are wholesome, honest, safe and good, and the other type will inevitably, eventually, descend into degeneracy.

You might not see it now. I certainly didn’t see it for decades even after I figured out the first half of it, which for most people is actually the hardest one to see, so I understand if you think I am just yet another confused zealot screaming “Jeeeeaaasssuss is da waaaay!” Like some Bible-thumping retard, of which, unfortunately, this planet if absolutely filled. Such creatures are a mixture of frauds, con-men, cowards, heretics, intentional deceivers, liars, Satanists and a large number of powerfully ignorant and lazy masses too brainwashed, stunned, stupefied and inflamed with bad health to be able to reason their way out of a parking lot.

I, dear reader, am none of those things, and yet I was deceived and as a result remained ignorant of the truth for at least nearly 2 decades more than necessary. But I had not the benefit of anyone doing what I am doing here now, which is to lay out in plain and straightforward fashion, all the pieces of the puzzle before you. Your only task at this point is to decide if you will at minimum take the time to see if these pieces I present to you are valid or not. I certainly am not asking you to “just believe me”. Quite the contrary. I have always advocated (even when I did not know that it was a dogmatic Catholic principle) that every man must absolutely know and make up his mind for himself.

But even that requires you at least investigate the concepts and bullet points I laid out before you, and while yes, some of those points can potentially take months of study to figure out, I assure you it is but a small fraction of the time it takes you to figure them all out without anyone pointing them out as the essential pieces of the puzzle that they are.

So, all that is left for you to do now is decide how lazy or not you are, and hence decide if to look into the pieces or not.

That is, assuming you’re not already brainwashed enough to not even consider doing so because you have already been predisposed to assume some part, or most of what I say is itself a lie, and if that is the case, I can easily guess which part you have been “inoculated” against: Catholicism.

At any rate, it is what it is, and you will do as you will. My task here —insofar as any can be construed in the form of a blog post— is done.

Godspeed and good fortune to you.

Farming Life

The Little Turtle (2) Does look like a little angel, with her blue eyes and blonde curls, but her enthusiasm for me is what properly gets me every time.

In the morning, the ritual is to take out some of the large slices of tree I stored earlier in the year, and then, axe in hand, cut it down to sizes that can fit in the wood burning stove that also heats ll the radiators in the house.

Without fail, she will ask to get dressed, shoes, coat and sometimes little gloves on, so she can stand at the top of the short stairs above where I chop the wood to watch me. She wants to help put the cut pieces in the basket but she’s a little short and the bits can be heavy anyway, and I want her to stay at the top of the stairs because sometimes a chunk of wood will fly out to the side.

Even so, she will sit out there with me, saying a few funny things or commenting on the work.

“Daddy, you’re bashing it!”

Her favourite one is when an axe strike doesn’t immediately produce a new chunk of wood.

You can hear the glee in her voice: “Daddy, you MISSED!”

She will sometimes be sitting at the table getting ready to eat and just sing to herself: “daddy, daddy, daddy…”

And last night, she was in the bed with us sound asleep and all of a sudden she shouts: “Daddy! And… And…” (she does this when fully awake too) “I felled in the SNOW!”

She had in fact fallen in the snow a few days earlier and of course, being as this is an EVENT in her life she repeats it to everyone who will listen.

I started to say “Ok darling…” but my wife shushed me… I look, and… the little turtle is sound asleep.

Dreaming of talking to daddy even when she’s passed out.

There really is nothing to compare to the love of your children. My wife keeps telling me she doesn’t want any of them to grow up, because she loves how they are at these ages. I understand, but I am probably more excited to see how they develop and what kind of people they become.

When a darker mood takes me I fleetingly think about people who intentionally hurt, rape or do even worse things to children. And at those times, I am more certain than anything, that such people need to be wiped out from the face of the Earth, along with anyone and everyone that would cover for them, hide them, or help them.

There simply are no consequences on Earth that would stop me from reducing such people to slurry if they ever came near one of my children. And I cannot fathom for the life of me, how any father (or mother for that matter) could in any way not feel exactly the same as I do on this.

The more you live in touch with nature, hard as it may be compared to the soft lifestyles we have all been accustomed to, the ore obvious it becomes, that some “people” just like some noxious, poisonous critters (except even those have more of a right to life on Earth) simply need killing. And I really don’t give a shit how politically incorrect this might sound. Certain crimes absolutely need the death penalty, and we need to reinstate it globally ASAP.

Pornography as Global Psyops

Following on from this post and the one it mentions , you need to consider some rather disturbing conclusions one necessarily comes to if math (statistics of coincidence) logic and empirical observation of the world around us is anything to go by.

There is also this rather long and initially almost surreal post by AC that is however worth reading in full, that by the end of it, he has gathered enough evidence for it to make it more than a little credible.

The previous posts mentioned above are considered required reading, and especially so if this next image makes you uncomfortable to accept at face value.

Now ask yourself, given their supposedly low numbers on the planet, can you think of any other ethnicity on Earth that has ever had this level of involvement with pornography?

Lebanese? Japanese? Italians? Really, think about it.

Then consider who created the absurd system of fiat money debt-based currency the entire planet operates on and is created out of literal thin air by those who control it, but that you and I have to slave over to earn.

And who runs most of the planet’s mainstream mass media, film and television programmes.

And now two final questions:

Do you still really think this is all a coincidence, my unbridled racist antisemitism for no reason at all, and just one totally absurd conspiracy theory?

Or maybe, just maybe, do you now agree that actually, yes, it really is the Jews?

It’s a Big Swamp

Even those who were ardent Trump supporters (and I was too in a limited fashion, because if nothing else Trump helped expose the fake media to the average normie in a way that is now hard for anyone to deny) are finally realising that it’s all part of one big swamp, and neither side of it is on your side.

What has become absolutely obvious is that like it or not, accept it or not, pretend to go along with the politically correct narrative they have been running for 80 years or not, “The Jews” control this planet. Primarily through the creation of a completely absurd system of fiat money that they have managed to fool the entire world into using for now over 100 years. Which when coupled with usury, a practice that used to be outlawed by Catholics for centuries, becomes truly a tool of enslavement for the whole of humanity.

But they also massively influence and own the mass media and the “entertainment” branch of film and TV media (read propaganda machine) and therefore the general zeitgeist of the planet too.

Which is why they can mass murder Palestinian civilians including babies and children and literally steal their organs for sale, along with now expanding “their” territory in to Syria while genociding the remaining population of Gaza without anyone but the Houtis of Yemen doing anything about it, or even talking about it, and why Benjamin Netanyahu, an absolute war criminal if any ever existed, can also still travel around with impunity or any fear of censure.

More people are waking to this reality daily, but still not anywhere near as many as should before anything can change.

What very few people realise, is that there are two factions of Jews at the top of the pyramid of power and while they are in competition with each other, neither of them is on your side.

I believe the Chabad Lubavitch sect are supposed to be the more “Orthodox” ones, which perhaps means they follow the Talmud idea of “sex with children” (i.e. pedophilic rape) who are under age 3 not being a crime, more zealously, given the level of verified sexual child abuse in their ranks.

The other side is more the liberal atheist types that are rampantly for transgenderism, homosexuality, and every form of degenerate sexual practice involving children especially. Of course, both sides are predominantly for all that stuff being fostered on us gentiles first and foremost.

And of course no one at all will tell you that the reason the second world war was fought, was because Hitler had decoupled Germany from the Rothschild banking system, and brought Weimar Germany back from the total degeneracy that had been fostered on it after the first world war. Nor will they tell you that the books the Nazis were burning were the ones on transgender theories and the beginnings of discussing things like sex changes, which today we have being applied to underage children even without parental consent.

No one will explain either that the motivating forces behind the eventual collapse and often outright murder of the various European Royal houses was performed by the Jewish inspired Freemasons, Illuminati, Carbonari and the other multitude of names that the various secretive Satanic sects go by.

The only religion that has ever called them out for what they are and stood against them, throughout human history, has been Catholicism, though all people sooner or later become aware of their modus operandi, and invariably try to exile them from their land. After all, if you get kicked out of 110 countries and over 1000 times, including from before the time of Christ, as is recorded in at least some of the Roman writings from 55 BC, perhaps, the problem is really you, and not everyone else.

But today, to criticise a Jew, or worse The Jews, collectively, is social suicide.

So, although many are becoming aware, none yet dare speak out publicly. And of course, the same goes for any other undesirable group of people as long as they are not caucasian.

It’s just “not done” nowadays, to call Indians from India an ethnicity that, from a European perspective, is composed wholly of pathological liars. Or that the average IQ of an African is at least one standard deviation lower than that of the average Caucasian. Or that the IQ of the average Japanese is at least 5 points more than the one of the average European.

No, no, all these things are unmentionable subjects, and that is why the swamp will remain, and eventually infest everyone’s lives, because it’s already here and has been for ages, all that has changed is that now it is simply becoming more obvious.

So… don’t put your faith in any saviours beyond Christ. All others are just false prophets; yes even if they happen to be saying the thing you want to hear and maybe even actually doing some of them.

No one is coming to save you. Not Trump, nor any other politicos. You got to save yourself.

So start building up those self-sufficient communities ASAP.

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.

Subscriptions Unpaused

As I was not clear on what I was receiving via this substack from stripe, I had paused all paid subscriptions.

That has now been cleared up, so your paid subscriptions will re-activate now. I also want to thank all of the paid subscribers for your generous support. Honestly, THANK YOU.

It is the sincerest form of appreciation a writer can receive and I am very grateful. Especially since all my posts (so far) are public and free access, which means the people who subscribe are the kind of honest and genuine people I like the most in life.

I will continue to post both here and at the OG blog, but since the situation has now cleared up, I will probably do both even during the holiday period, though I will probably favour the OG blog a little due to the ease of use of posting from my ancient phone, which I can’t do with substack until I have a more up to date one, and given what iPhones cost, especially the iPhone 14 variants with double PHYSICAL Sim (only available in China and Hong Kong and one other place I think) It may be another decade before I catch up to the futuristic app world of substack.

I wish you all a very happy holiday period and a great 2025.

Holiday Time Posts will be at the Kurgan Blog

For the next couple of weeks, I will be posting only at the OG Blog.

Link is up there on the menu at the top, or click here:

https://www.thekurganblog.com

The reason is that I can post there from my ten year old phone, while I can’t even read some free substacks even from my 2019 Apple Mac desktop, because they require newer versions of the OS.

So enjoy the return from the “dead” of the previously hacked blog, now risen again, like the namesake immortal others named me as.

IRL beats everything

This Christmas I was rather remiss with messaging people and wishing them a Happy Christmas and New Year. Mostly because I focused on doing the things that needed doing for my family to have a relaxed time over the holidays.

On Christmas day we basically didn’t even get out of out PJs and just watched the kids go nuts with their presents, which thanks to my wife was a literal mountain of odds and ends. She also got me some nice tops and colognes.

She wanted to go crazy with Christmas dinner but I finally managed to break through the usual female delusion that whatever they imagine is reality —the five small crazy people running around the house helped of course— they tend to break through most self-inflicted delusions of blissful parenting, and she finally realised no one cared for a specific Christmas dinner as she envisioned it, and everyone was happier just chilling out and eating random stuff and pigging out on panettone and biscuits. Including her since she did not have to stress herself out making an elaborate dinner.

The point of all this is that with our phones mostly ignored and just normal, in real life stuff going on, it was really quite awesome.

My eldest daughter taught the 4 and 5 year old to play the card game go fish. The littlest one (she’s just turned 2) got a baby Yoda stuffed toy that she absolutely loves, because she has been addicted to watching the Mandalorian. She literally likes it more than anyone else except maybe the little viking, but even he does not follow the plot as much as she does.

I even managed to read a couple of pages of one of the books that has been on my bedside for the last six months.

But above all, this time has driven home deeply how artificial most of our lives have become.

We are not meant to spend 8-13 hours a day sitting at a desk shuffling electrons from one spreadsheet and email to another poor bastard in some other office doing the same. And even if you are earning millions, which most people in that situation are absolutely not, you can’t enjoy it really. So you may have the nice house and the big cars, and the two week holiday in Bora-Bora, but IF you have children, they are being raised by strangers and you see them less than those strangers do. They are spending hours and hours and hours a day being indoctrinated in ways you don’t even realise are control mechanisms. Like for example, if one kid keeps bugging you and shoving you, and you punch them right in the mouth, that now means you’re a bad kid. Which of course is complete bullshit. And when they are small what do they really learn? What do they really need? They need to be able to rear, write and do math well.

All the rest they can learn faster and deeper at home and without any of the nonsense. You can certainly interest any kid in the Roman empire, or the real history of Christianity, or the (real) reasons for WWI and WWII along with the politically acceptable version to skate by the zombies that still outnumber us.

All while showing them also how to drive a tractor, recognise different plants and animals, teaching them how to track and hunt, cook, keep house, use a spreadsheet to keep track of things, figure out how to survey a piece of land, deal with things like bills and figuring out stuff they never teach you in school. Especially things related to alternative energy sources and so on, as well as classical physics and chemistry. Certainly everything taught at elementary school can be better done at home by any reasonably educated parent that is working as a farmer at home, all while playing/working at the daily things that you need to do on any farm.

And is farm life hard? It sure is.

It’s certainly not for anyone wanting an easy life without physical effort, and it certainly isn’t the idyllic and easy life that pretend-homesteaders on YouTube would have you believe. Especially the ones who in reality have other income which is actually what they really live on.

Even the ones that are not flat out lying about how they live, what they grow and where their food come from, can, inadvertently and unintentionally, give a false impression to people who simply have no concept of how life works when you are really trying to live off the land as your main source of income.

Despite all this, if you plan a little ahead, it is without a doubt a more satisfying way to live than most.

The main issues are to reduce any recurring costs, which means things like land taxes (in the USA at least), electricity and water bills, any recurring services like phones or internet costs, petrol, gas, diesel, and of course the basics of food.

After that, even if you did have enough space and know-how to raise animals, say some chickens and a couple of pigs for butchering and say a few goats too, the maintenance to keep them fed, alive, and protected from predators is not nothing.

And the food you might grow is dependent on the weather and many other factors that are often out of your control.

The ideal situation is you having the property with no debt, some regular income that hopefully is from passive income, and enough savings to tide you over while you learn how to make yourself more self-sufficient. Even then, emergencies or sudden injuries or illness can wipe out your safety margin quite instantly.

These are all realities you need to face and some of them that you didn’t consider will hit you too. And keep in mind that in my professional opinion, being a farmer is at least as dangerous as being a full time martial arts student or instructor in terms of potential injuries, and more dangerous than being a professional bodyguard.

Despite all this, if you manage to make yourself self-sufficient and essentially able to survive even in the event of the proverbial zombie apocalypse, you will be part of a new kind of “elite”, that is, people who no longer need to rely on the conventional dictates of those who run this world through fiat money, bureaucracy, blackmail and force.

The plan is to become immune from the pressure of fiat money first (hopefully you are immune from blackmail as long as you’re not a child rapist on film like many so-called hollywood “stars”), then organise to take over the local bureaucracy so you become immune from rules that you can avoid or countermand officially (or the other way around, whichever you can do first) which is why settling in small hamlets out if the way and populated by like-minded people is step one.

Eventually, if you are successful, force too will be brought to bear on your community, so plan ahead and remember that a smaller but determined force with skin in the game almost always can resist a larger force that is mandated by people and reasons that are completely disconnected from the people on the ground supposed to execute them.

So, yes, real life is “harder” than living online and being a wage slave. But really… is it?

Only you can answer that question, and ultimately it answers the question as to wether you are the type that prefers a gilded cage over your own freedom.

And just like on the dojo floor, all your words and social media posts mean absolutely nothing when compared to the physical reality of your actions. Or lack thereof.

As usual, the point is always the same: Know Yourself.

And if you are a wage-slave type, just admit it and stop lying to yourself.

And if you are not, nothing they do will be able to keep you down anyway, so my posts will hopefully just save you time and effort in terms of what to prepare for and what to avoid.

May God show you the way.

A Happy Christmas

We are having a very nice one and I wish all my readers, whether they read here for pleasure, as fans, or even as haters, a very happy Christmas too, and a joyous 2025.

May all the evil doers who harm little children, and there are sadly too many such people in the world, suffer a lingering and painful death too.

And if you think that’s not very Catholic of me, I suggest you read up on the Crusades.

May God bless you and have mercy upon you and your loved ones.

And Lord, thank you for all the grace You have seen fit to deliver to me and the ones I love.

On War and Civil Unrest – Part 2 – Murderbots

This substack article here covers quite a lot of the current state of affairs with regard to the latest weapon that you would need to be aware of in the event of war or even just “skirmish/guerrilla” level “troubles”, namely: Drones.

Any serious conflict has now made almost all infantry obsolete if you have enough drones.

Pretty soon, it may well be which side has more murderbots to throw at the other side that wins. All the humans involved may well just become collateral damage.

Philip K Dick in one of his short stories basically had predicted an Earth where the murderbots, in all their guises, including looking like humans for some types, had essentially wiped out humanity and the story ends with one of them basically flying off to the Moon, where the last human colony exists. The murderbots can replicate themselves or build other types, so once you get one in an area… they multiply.

Add a bit of bioweapons warfare, nanobots and so on, and well… before you can hope for your AR or even sniper rifle to become useful again, you may have to wait for a really large solar flare, or the total collapse of civilisation long enough that the murderbots fall into disrepair through lack of maintenance. Of course… how you live that long, except maybe by being underground behind blast doors, Fallout style or Paranoia RPG style for those of us that are old enough to recall pen and paper roleplaying Games and the hilarious (but very murderous) Alpha Complex run by your friendly Alpha Complex Computer, is anyone’s guess.

So… along with learning terrain, map-reading and so on, you also want to learn how to hide your thermal signature (hint: An umbrella does wonders, but forget having ANY electronic devices on you at all), use your own drones and drone-making skills, and maybe, even “invent” a drone killer gun, electronics jammer and so on. Though military drones are unlikely to be stopped by anything a civilian can put together, and using such devices may well give your position away for miles.

I am not technical enough to really give you much advice beyond: Build an underground shelter you can hide in that is deep enough to survive basic bombs. And maybe do a rain-dance for hail and solar flares, as you sharpen your sword in preparation for a return to medieval times after the last automated gunpowder factories fall into disrepair.
