I can literally go weeks with about 4 hours sleep even now. About ten years ago I did it for a couple of months or three at a time.
There is impairment and over time it adds up, but if I got 6 hours of decent sleep a night I am considering myself very lucky. I always have been a terrible sleeper unless I am out in the bush like an animal, getting up with the sun and camping out, whatever the weather. Even then, I almost never sleep more than 8 hours unless especially exhausted.
I can definitely go months with only 6 hours sleep. After that I usually do need a day or two of down time, but even then I am not really sleeping more than maybe 8 or ten hours max, but split into different times during the 24 hours, and generally just chilling and vegging out with a TV programme, or a book, or just staring at clouds and contemplating life.
If anyone has decent data sets on this I’d be interested to take a look.
This will be at 9pm Rome Italy time (3pm EST; 2pm CT) on my livestream. The reason I am doing this, after a fairly long absence from YouTube is because I have finally cut out a little time for it, but mostly because the modern generation seems completely lost with regards to playing pen and paper games and it’s honestly kind of sad.
Although this is not the same as playing live IRL, at least you should get a sense of the fun that can be had. The reason I think this is important were explained in this post I did about how no one realised how useful pen and paper RPGs were… until now.
So I hope you will come along and see it, the chat will be live and we hope that the rural internet will allow the 3 players and myself to run the game smoothly. Hopefully it will work. And hopefully you will see how funny and useful it can be, even if the setting is a little removed from reality, the point is that you should manage to appreciate the camaraderie, problem solving, and general hilarity that happens in really any game of this sort.
The setting will be the Dirty Old West RPG, which is literally £5 in PDF format you can print and staple together at home, so it will not break the bank. The edition in digital format linked to above has a slight update on the task resolution which is not yet appearing on the Amazon paper version, so if you want to follow along and know how the game works, get the digital version.
The reason we picked the Dirty Old West system for this livestream is that the rules are simple to learn and understand, the entire booklet is only some 31 pages and includes character sheets you can copy, innate abilities, skills and all the rules for doing things, shooting, healing, and so on.
While the system is simple and easy to learn and only requires two six-sided dice to play, the mechanics of it are pretty realistic and could be said to be “gritty”. In other words, if your character acts stupidly and rushes into danger as if he was on the set of an old A-Team TV programme (look it up you young whipper-snappers) where hails of bullets never even gave anyone a flesh wound, he is likely to go down like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid at the end of the film.
A little twist is that although the game is nominally set in the Wild West, nothing, and I mean nothing, prevents you from adding a little weirdness. You could, for example, re-enact the film Cowboys and Aliens, with only a little imagination. So you can keep it strictly “realistic”, or make it “possibly” a little “supernatural” (keep your players guessing, which adds a dimension of superstition and FUD (Fear Uncertainty and Doubt) which invariably means your players will make some hilarious assumptions with equally hilarious, tragic, or stupendous consequences), or you can just make it quite absurdist too, though I don’t recommend that, especially for first time players.
In order to make the game enjoyable for spectators too, I will post the map, and possibly the player characters on this blog, the day of the game, so anyone interested can follow along.
As a spectator, my hope is that you will enjoy seeing how it all works and want to create your own little gaming groups with real people around a real table, and play face to face. There are MANY reasons why this is a good thing.
First it undoes some of the isolationism we have all been subjected to in the last 4 years.
Second it creates human dynamics in real life which help socialise you in other contexts too.
Third, it forces your imagination to work, which is a VERY needed thing, especially among Gen Z. They have been so brainwashed by TV, the internet in general and the general Zeitgeist that they struggle to even imagine freedom. Although RPGs can be seen as “escapism” it is a constructive form of it. You need to participate in the creation of the story and things that happen in it.
Fourth, I designed the RPG Surviving the Current Zombie Apocalypse, precisely to start to get you to play through various hypotheticals you could design that might happen in the real world in the case of serious economic crashes, war, etc. actually happening. And in case you did not know, modelling wars is very serious business. In other words, actual real militaries around the world pretty much “play” out potential scenarios in conference rooms. Admittedly a bit more advanced than pen and paper RPGs, but the concept is the same. It forces you and the opponent to face various hypothetical situations and have to work out solutions, sometimes to seemingly impossible problems.
So I really hope to revive this hobby in at least a percentage of younger people. I plan to play these games with my children too, and my older daughter already has been exposed to it and not only enjoys it, but she comes up with hilarious, unexpected, and usually very intelligent solutions, including ones I had not foreseen or expected. I can’t wait to see what the younger ones will do in a few years.
I came up with this many years ago, due to my natural misanthropy.
The question goes like this:
If you could (or had to, for the reticent) push a button that disappears 3 types of humans, who would you pick?
Now you can define the category in any way you like, but it has to have hard lines. So for example, you can’t just say “The Chinese” as a category.
You need to define it clearly. Do you mean anyone with Chinese citizenship? Or anyone with Chinese DNA? What about dual citizenship or mixed race people with some Chinese DNA… you get the idea. So if you said “anyone recognised as a Chinese citizen by the Chinese government,” that would be a precise description.
It’s an uncomfortable question for many people to answer, especially in public, but it is an interesting one.
And to be clear, the defined groups just pop out of existence. No dead bodies or pain, etc. they just blink out of existence.
As an added twist, to prevent the virtue signallers from taking the moral high ground, you can’t select a category that is not easily or at least clearly identifiable. So you can’t say “all pedophiles” because there is no way to know who they all are. But you could say “anyone convicted of a sex crime with a minor,” as an example.
Let me know what your answers might be if you are brave enough.
Today let me explain the part of WWIII that affect YOU personally. Yes, you. The guy or girl comfortably sitting somewhere reading this that is NOT being shot at by anyone or bombed, or droned.
Again, I simplify Simplicius’ post because most people don’t manage to read my posts, so I doubt too many are getting through all of his. The key point for YOU and me is this:
Most vexing is Putin’s national consensus, another cryptic koan to the West so habituated to their leaders’ gutter status as pariahs amongst a populace ruled only by ‘virtue’ of stolen elections, mass propaganda, and an iron fist.
Even as Putin faces Western efforts to isolate him, he seems increasingly invincible at home. Putin’s most formidable challenger, Alexei Navalny, died in prison in February. Any sign of political dissent is quickly crushed. What is left of the Russian opposition is now largely in exile. And even embarrassing military setbacks, such as Ukraine’s recent incursion into Russia’s Kursk region, have not weakened Putin’s grip on power.
Flummoxed, the West finds itself between pillar and post:
“There are no good choices here — it’s just degrees of bad going forward,” said Samuel Charap, a senior political scientist at Rand, adding that “accepting Russian conditions that are unacceptable” would be a mistake. Instead, he urged “a combination of deterrence and potential negotiations.”
The article finishes on the grand vision of combating Putin, which is in effect, creating a supranational new totalitarian deep state order to rule over the West permanently, in order to Trump-proof and, in general, future-proof the West’s anti-Russian hostility, so no truly democratic force can emend it later on:
Because Russia is a long-term threat, Hill said, the structures to address that threat must also be long-term or Putin will always claim the advantage. She urged a more consistent response, spanning administrations — creating “a kind of permanent secretariat” with allies to maintain a consistent Russia policy.
Trump, meanwhile, has stirred uncertainty. He has boasted that his rapport with Putin, Xi and Kim would allow him to swiftly sort the world out on American terms. But the deepening ties between Moscow, Beijing and other adversaries complicate the picture.
A “permanent secretariat” to maintain a “consistent” policy in perpetuity. I’ll translate the Newspeak: create a permanent central authority which no “sovereign” nation can question to make sure populist leaders can never revolt against the globalist totalitarian dictatorship and its quest to enslave the planet under one hegemonic rule.
—
In light of the above article making mention of the ‘overpowering global reach’ of Russian ‘propaganda’, and the concomitant push for global dictatorship to fight against this, it’s now clearer than ever what the controllers intend to do when it comes to “disinformation” policy.
Just today the UN signed the ‘Pact for the Future’, which includes the ‘Digital Compact’ of new vast censorship powers against all dissenting voices.
The only way over this is to basically absolutely dissent. Especially in person. With your family, friends, at the bar, with strangers at the bus stop.
But also online. Yes, some of you or me may get in trouble for such vicious “badthink” as saying out loud that the thieving, bought and paid for scum pretending to be government in your country should all be locked away in a sunless dungeon (best case) or summarily executed (after a fair trial of course) for absolute treason, and then replaced with actual humans that care about their native populations.
I mean, Sam Melia got 2 years for printing stickers saying “It’s Ok to be White” in the UK. But if there are 100,000 people doing that, it’s going to be difficult to jail every single one of them. Of course, the UK is sort of lost already, with tens of thousands of native young girls and boys having been raped and sexually abused by Muslim rape gangs across the country, you didn’t even have 100 fathers responding in a contextually appropriate way; because the police were threatening to arrest the parents for “racism” for any complaints they tried to lodge.
So that’s what you do I guess. Muslim rape gang does your child, you go to the police they say “Don’t be racist, or else we’ll jail YOU!” and well… I suppose the only left to do is to hang your head in shame (at your racism, one supposes) and go back home. Nothing left to do I suppose.
And if that is the case, well… whatever people and nations have been reduced to “responding” that way… well, it doesn’t matter if their DNA literally disappears from the face of the Earth, because you can essentially say they are already extinct.
They managed to get you to inject death in your own veins. Worse, maybe in your children too. You know it. You may not want to admit it, because otherwise you might lose your shit, but you know it deep down.
They managed to isolate everyone.
They are censoring everyone and spying on everyone.
Just going to lie down and not get organised in real life and change things, are you?
If so… so long. I have nothing left to tell you or in common with you.
If not, start DOING. And it doesn’t need to be anything more drastic than running for local office or local academia, or local police station. Whatever. There are plenty more of us than them. Change things. And start by telling them to fuck right off with their lies and censorship.
Understand this: World War III is a giant psyops. Has been since 1939 at least.
When I was about 10 or 12 I had a weird dream that I still recall. This was before The Terminator and the Matrix so I could not have been influenced by it. What had actually sparked off the dream I think was the plastic model of a single action colt that I had put together, which was actually oversized when compared to the real gun it modelled. I loved that thing for some reason.
And bear with me, I know how tiring it is to read other people’s weird dreams, but I promise this has a point.
The dream was that people were being replaced with replicas that looked just like them, but were in fact robots. And they would carry on pretending to be the real person until some critical moment, when they would turn and try and kill you. At this point, in the dream, their eyes would suddenly grow red and they would become homicidal. They were stronger than humans and pretty impervious to firearms… except… the large single action handgun I had in the dream, which was an actual gun and fired proper bullets. Even then, one shot would not be enough to kill them, but just slow them down and incapacitate them a bit. it would take multiple shot to cause enough damage to them to get away.
The dream was long, convoluted and exhausting, because the only way to be sure someone close to you was not going to be replaced was to not fall asleep. As soon as you slept, when you woke up again, you could not be sure who had been replaced.
It was definitely a weird dream but VERY detailed, which is why I recall it so clearly, and there is one more reason. About a decade later, when the Terminator film had definitely come out by then, maybe even a sequel or two, I had a “sequel” to that dream. I know how weird and unrealistic this sounds, but it’s an absolute fact. Nor is this unique for me. The entire Nazi Moon Trilogy was sparked off by a dream I had in my 20s, and then two more dreams that related to it too, each dream inspired one of the three books. But back to this specific one…
In part II of the terminator like dream it was much further on that the first dream, that is years had passed and the weapons were better, and there was some kind of human resistance and we all had very cool and sexy looking black uniforms a little reminiscent of the black widow costume in the Marvel films for women, and a similar if more masculine version for men.
This of you who have read my Systema book will be aware of the reality of a certain level of precognition among humans, or at least for certain humans at certain times. Now, I am NOT suggesting that we are about to enter the Terminator era… at least not yet… but… it is a distinct possibility that we might soon be.
Agent 13 has a long post (as is his usual way) describing how TikTok videos challenges are being used to model human movements for both AI and already currently for robots.
Just look at the two videos below.
They may not YET be able to fool you, but do you really think this technology is not going to absolutely skyrocket in the next 10 years?
You may want to stock up on single action revolvers in .454 Cassul.
I know I’d buy one right away if I could spare the money right now. I’m not sure the .357 Magnum is enough for the Robot Wars.
More importantly, and more pressing, we have now entered the era I predicted and was well aware of already 30 years ago:
You simply cannot believe ANY video or photograph anymore. And this is no small thing. It has reduced the already vanishing ability of people to be able to distinguish objective reality from the fake, insane, absurd, manufactured artificial nonsense, like men being pregnant, to the point where anyone younger than I am is unlikely to even understand or believe in that concept they are so very hard trying to remove from our very consciousness: Objective Reality.
Seriously. Look it up if you don’t know what I mean by those two words. it’s important. Far more than you can possibly imagine.
And now go back and re-read my previous post and understand that I am not just hyperboling when I say the people at the top are child raping killing and eating Satanist freaks.
In case you are new here, allow me to first of all present the sides of the WWIII conflict that started in early 2020.
On the side of Satan:
Israel (leading the charge both openly as the genociding power it is, as well as covertly through it’s displaced Diaspora and Owners of the Bank for International Settlement (the Rothschilds) and their sort – bankers that are literally above the law and create the world’s money supply out of thin air)
The USA (A vassal superstate of both Israel and Freemasonry, being the first Freemasonic country on Earth)
Western Europe (Composed of various vassal state to the USA)
Other general Vassal states (Canada, Australia, New Zealand) or original Satanic houses (the United Kingdom).
Against Satan (but not necessarily angels either)
Russia (Nominally Eastern Orthodox, so schismatics, but at least making a nod to the side of God)
China (Not actively directly involved yet, but this dragon is patient. The final living standards under a global China would possibly be marginally better than under a global Satanist leadership, but as I say, probably only marginally so)
India (Kind of like Italy in WWII, they will go wherever the side that wins seems to be at any given time)
Melange of the Mostly Irrelevant
These are essentially smaller countries that will not affect the outcome one way or the other. Pretty much what most of the Western European countries would be if their despotic, corrupt, for sale, traitorous, pedophile, blackmailable, fraudsters pretending to be their legitimate governments would be removed tomorrow and replaced with the average person in each of these countries that actually cares about the welfare of their people and nation.
This includes most of Africa and South America, all the little weird places like Micronesia, and also side-show pieces like Taiwan, which are geopolitically important, just by a number of factors that make them so, but are, militarily and in terms of affecting the path of the global war taking place, essentially also irrelevant. Japan is another such place. they may have valuable items that would help one side or the other, so become contentious places, but directly, they are essentially hostages, like the rest of Western Europe, just more obviously and dangerously so.
Where it Started
The Side of Satan, used to ruling the world by subterfuge, fear, and financial terrorism and enslavement, having succeeded at achieving pretty much whatever it wanted since 1945, decided to take the gloves off and start the process of changing the whole of planet Earth into the thing they really have been aiming consciously for since at minimum 1776, but really, that has been planned from the very start of mankind. The underlying power behind it all is indeed an immortal spirit of evil, we sometimes refer to by various names, but in any event, it utterly hates humanity and wants them crushed and humiliated in their totality. It does this by elevating various figures in the human world to do its bidding. The upper echelons of this essentially nested hive of secret societies, subterfuge, secret deals and hierarchies and inter-competitive backstabbing are indeed aware of who they serve, and do so consciously. Others may be operating under the guise that they know best, but really, they know, and they are feeling so confident now, they are not even hiding it any more. Listen to this guy, Graff at the World Economic Forum (see the whole long post Simplicious made that also covered this but is too long and autistic for most people)
Klaus Schwab of course has been boasting to the world that their WEF graduates have been infiltrating every Western government for decades. Literally almost every leader in Europe and abroad is a “graduate” of this process. Justin Trudeau being its most idiotic, obvious, annoying and completely controlled puppet, but so is the gay Macaroon of France and all the various others throughout Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand and so on. There is also another disturbing trend that some, along with most of the freaky “elites” that wear animal masks, rape children and dance around Bohmain grove, and hang out with “spirit cooker” Marina Abramovich and the likes of the Clinton Foundation, which we all know is a child trafficking ring. And that is the deep undercurrent of Occult stuff going back centuries. Meloni, the PM of Italy is on record saying she had an occult master since her early 20s. And that’s to say nothing of the connections to child rape by gigantic blackmailers like Jeffrey Epstein, and now Sean Coombs or P. Diddy, as he liked to be called, which hardly masks the proclivities he enjoyed with certain potentially underage people, like Justin Bieber, who literally sang about a P. Diddy party and how it warped him.
If you dig even just a little bit, the literally demonic, down to literal child sacrifice and cannibalism, is there. You don’t want to see it full in the face, because it is monstrous, but you know. And you know you could find out more if only it would not haunt your nightmares forever after.
As to where it started? Well, worshipping the devil is the oldest religion in the world. I literally started after Lucifer and a third of the host were cast out of Heaven.
You might not believe it that literally, but honestly, start from a blank slate and what makes most sense?
Money and power alone don’t explain it. The ritual abuse, murder, organ harvesting and adrenochrome farms of little children goes well beyond mere greed and a wish for power. And when it is on the absolutely enormous scale it is, it being merely the really twisted perversions of a mere few freaks doesn’t explain it either.
You say you want more proof? There is mountains of it. you just have to look for it. Find out what some of the veterans of the Ukraine conflict see and have witnessed. Look up what the Franklin scandal was decades ago. Or the Belgian scandal that encompassed pretty much all of the Belgian government and judiciary and had to do with an vast pedophile network that to all intents and purposes was the government and the judiciary and law enforcement too. Look at the testimony of British highly ranked police officers that tried to blow the whistle on the depth and scope of the same thing in the UK government, law enforcement and judiciary too. Do you really think that sick fuck of Jimmy Saville who raped and abused kids dying of cancer, by the hundreds, was not known about? Do you not know the statue of a pedophile is proudly displayed outside the BBC studios? And the rampant similar stuff that goes on at all the higher echelons of power? All the pesos in the fake “Catholic Church” which has been headed by Satanists pretending to be “Popes” uninterruptedly since 1958?
You may pretend to yourself I am just some crazy “conspiracy theorist” ranting, but it’s undeniable that the so-called conspiracy theorists turned out to be right about pretty much all of it. JFK, 9/11, the faked part of the Moon Landings (though we did go to the Moon, but not the way they tell you), the whole Covid Mass-Murder event, and on, and on, and on.
Of course, the majority who took the genetic serums that are now killing little children from heart attacks and giving turbo-cancers and other life-crippling effects, don’t want to know.
Operating under the idea that if you don’t say it out loud, maybe, just like the Candyman, the evil shit will not happen to you even if you did take that fake Vaxx that has never worked in over 30 years and only ended up killing the animals that were repeatedly subjected to it.
So because of that, everyone just keeps their head down and keeps quiet and just gets squeezed more and more, by more woke insanity and pregnant “men” and furries and other mentally ill freaks pushed on us by… yup, the usual suspects. Except no one is allowed to say it. No one is allowed to name them. The fact they have been chased out of 108 countries some 1004 times is just everyone else’s fault. never had anything to do with them or how they behave.
And blowing up thousands of devices remotely indiscriminately among civilians is supposed to be great, and good and acceptable. Not a terrorist act at all.
How it’s Going
You KNOW that all the stuff I wrote above is true and just scratching the surface. The level of deception, horror, total degeneracy and vile evil that is really all around us is nauseating and not hard to see even for those who only have a room temperature IQ.
In short, there are enough people now that have understood this at least to the point that one hopes most of the time they watch the bullshit spewing out of their television sets they simply roll their eyes and say “Bitch, Please!”
You KNOW they are lying to you. You know they are evil. And you KNOW there is no standing on the sidelines any more. They will not let you. Either you are one of them (you are not. They are few, very few, and wealthy to a point you have no conception of), you are one of their pets/slaves/sex toys, as they decide and want you to be, or you are against them. There is no other position where you will go by unnoticed and unmolested.
In short, we should all pretty much be here by now:
And guess what. He doesn’t call it that. He doesn’t express a framework within which what he says can be made to happen, but it exists. It’s called Catholicism. Not the fake Vatican II TurboPederasty on crack, no.
The Catholicism of the Crusaders of 1095, who put on their armours and with heir entire fortunes and families went to fight an invader that had been attacking them and enslaving and murdering them for nearly 400 years. We have been brainwashed for some 80 years really intensively.
It’s enough now.
And no, Catholic, real ones, do not “turn the other cheek” to this level of evil. They march either to their martyrdom, or to push the demons back into Hell. An remember, even the Gates of Hell, will not prevail on us.
So, yes, enter WWIII correctly.
It’s a spiritual fight first and a worldly one only secondly. Get the first right and build up your people, your community, your family and friends. Be clear on who and where you are and who is and is not with you. Organise. Group. Resist all the lies in every way, every day, and build up your life, your inspiration, your children, and make new alternatives and create new realities of local government, of local academics, and so on.
Maybe you are Vaxxed and dying or ill. So what? You want the bastards that fooled you into that to win? You want to pretend that’s not what happened as you quietly slip away into the darkness?
Whatever your personal situation, whatever you believe, simply know this: There are only two sides. The side of Good or the side of Evil. And no man’s land does not exist anymore, it is rapidly becoming territory of the enemy too, except for those who see the truth and become part of our side.
The opening salvos have been done. Now we enter the start of the real war. And it will go on at least a few years. I would say it is unlikely to chance quickly. So build up your forces. Ten years from now no one knows what the landscape will look like, but those who prepare now will be far better able to create and navigate it.
If you are a regular here, you will no doubt be familiar with the regular Kurganing of some deceitful half-wit that catches my attention from time to time.
Simple. The truth matters. And these guys would mug and rape the truth if they ever met it face to face.
If someone was going around telling people 2+2 is 5, and people listen to that liar, try to comprehend what the ramifications of that are. Imagine what would happen to engineering as a whole.
Well, this is the same.
And even if you are not Catholic, are you the type that would let absolute lies “pass” if only they agreed with your specific pre-conceived ideas? Most of which aren’t in fact your ideas at all, they may have been your great-great-great-grandfather’s long ago, when he was very drunk one night and got upset at a Catholic priest calling him out so he went hardcore Protestant on the spot. Truth is most people have not spent 20 minutes checking on the factual basis for their religious identity.
If they had, their journey would take a lot longer and resemble something like the steps identified here.
Anyway, that’s why I do it.
Oh; and also… I kinda enjoy it. It’s not quite the same as charging heretics on horseback with a lance, but hey, we have to take our fun where we can.
Jay Dyer, once again makes things up, relating to the ecumenical council of Constance.
He contention is that the Council of Constance “ruled” who was the real Pope during the period in which there were three Popes (two of which were fake). This is absolute nonsense and of course, yet another lie.
He says this in this mostly boring and irrelevant podcast from about 2 hours and 10 or 11 minutes or so and carries on until about 2 hours and 30 minutes. He repeatedly says that the council of Constance resolved the issue.
This is absolutely and completely a lie.
What happened is that the three Popes were convened to this council originally by the fake Antipope John XXIII, who was pushed to do so by the Emperor. So nothing happening here except them basically saying: “We gotta sort this out.” As a result of this investigation John XXIII was going to be investigated for scandalous conduct so he ran away. In the meantime, the two remaining possible “Popes” Gregory XII and Benedict XIII came to an agreement which was that Gregory XII would be accepted as the one true Pope and instead of being deposed (as were the other two, for being antipopes) he would resign and a new and valid Pope (from the Roman see, would be elected). So that’s what happened.
In essence the one true Pope, Gregory XII resolved the issue. Not the Council.
This is typical of Jay, he just lies, makes straw man “arguments” and completely makes things up. As I demonstrated on my video of our debate, he literally makes quotes up from various documents they supposedly come from, and refers to others that are completely unrelated to the topic at hand.
As I said right from the start, the man is a liar and an intellectual pigmy. All you need to do is go read the documents he quotes and take them in proper context, because he of course will quote mine and try and twist black into being white and vice versa.
In short, it was NOT the council that decided anything, but Gregory XII, the one true pope that for the good of the Church proposed the solution that everyone agreed with and everyone agreed he had the full authority to make this decision and that all of his appointments were in fact the only ones that would be valid, since he was the real pope.
Gregory XII sent to Constance as his representatives his protector Carlo Malatesta, the Lord of Rimini, and the Dominican cardinal, John Domenici—to Constance indeed, but not to the General Council assembled there by the authority, and in the name, of John XXIII. The envoys’ commission was to the emperor Sigismund, presiding over the various bishops and prelates whom his zeal to restore peace to the Church had brought together. To these envoys—and to Malatesta in the first place—Gregory gave authority to convoke as a General Council—to convoke and not to recognise—these assembled bishops and prelates ; [4] and by a second bull [5] he empowered Malatesta to resign to this General Council in his name.
The emperor, the bishops and prelates consented and accepted the role Gregory assigned. And so, on July 4, 1415. Sigismund, clad in the royal robes, left the throne he had occupied in the previous sessions for a throne placed before the altar, as for the president of the assembly. Gregory’s two legates sat by his side facing the bishops. The bull was read commissioning Malatesta and Domenici to convoke the council and to authorise whatever it should do for the restoration of unity and the extirpation of the schism—with Gregory’s explicit condition that there should be no mention of Baldassare Cossa, [6] with his reminder that from his very election he had pledged himself to resign if by so doing he could truly advance the good work of unity, and his assertion that the papal dignity is truly his as the canonically elected successor of Urban VI.
Malatesta then delegated his fellow envoy, the cardinal John Domenici, to pronounce the formal operative words of convocation [7] ; and the assembly—but in its own way—accepted to be thus convoked, authorised and confirmed in the name “of that lord who in his own obedience is called Gregory XII” [8]. The council next declared that all canonical censures imposed by reason of the schism were lifted, and the bull was read by which Gregory authorised Malatesta to make the act of abdication [9] and promised to consider as ratum gratum et firmum, and forever irrevocable, whatever Malatesta, as his proxy, should perform. The envoy asked the council whether they would prefer the resignation immediately, or that it should be delayed until Peter de Luna’s decision was known. The council preferred the present moment. It ratified all Gregory XII’s acts, received his cardinals as cardinals, promised that his officers should keep their posts and declared that if Gregory was barred from re-election as pope, this was only for the peace of the Church, and not from any personal unworthiness. Then the great renunciation was made [10], ” …. renuncio et cedo …. et resigno …. in hac sacrosancta synodo et universali concilio, sanctam Romanam et universalem eccleciam repraesentante” and the council accepted it [11], but again as made “on the part of that lord who in his own obedience was called Gregory XII”. The Te Deum was sung and a new summons drawn up calling upon Peter de Luna to yield to the council’s authority.
The work of Pisa was now almost undone, and by this council which, in origin, was a continuation of Pisa. It had suppressed the Pisan pope whom Pisa, with biting words, had rejected as a schismatic and no pope.”
Phillip Hughes, A History of the Church, p. 289-291
All it takes to catch Dyer out in his lies is to actually refer to the documents and events he intentionally lies about and misrepresents.
It’s just like all the fake nonsense “scientists” and “historians” do, when, like “journalists” they give a bunch of “references”. No one ever bothers to look them up. I you do, you will find they literally list the very proof of their own lies.
A Question
I came up with this many years ago, due to my natural misanthropy.
The question goes like this:
If you could (or had to, for the reticent) push a button that disappears 3 types of humans, who would you pick?
Now you can define the category in any way you like, but it has to have hard lines. So for example, you can’t just say “The Chinese” as a category.
You need to define it clearly. Do you mean anyone with Chinese citizenship? Or anyone with Chinese DNA? What about dual citizenship or mixed race people with some Chinese DNA… you get the idea. So if you said “anyone recognised as a Chinese citizen by the Chinese government,” that would be a precise description.
It’s an uncomfortable question for many people to answer, especially in public, but it is an interesting one.
And to be clear, the defined groups just pop out of existence. No dead bodies or pain, etc. they just blink out of existence.
As an added twist, to prevent the virtue signallers from taking the moral high ground, you can’t select a category that is not easily or at least clearly identifiable. So you can’t say “all pedophiles” because there is no way to know who they all are. But you could say “anyone convicted of a sex crime with a minor,” as an example.
Let me know what your answers might be if you are brave enough.
