You will have noticed my almost complete silence on this aspect of the ongoing WWIII except to point out that Israel is killing completely innocent civilians en mass and in a completely and clearly genocidal way in Gaza, which is true. They are essentially trying to wipe out an entire people and justifying it by saying, basically that all Palestinians are terrorists and the only good Palestinian is a dead one. If that’s the new rules of engagement, as created and acted on by Israel, then it should not surprise anyone if at some point, a great number of people, using the same rules Israel is using against the Palestinians comes to conclude that the only good Jew is a dead Jew. And then acts on it.
Aside that aspect, the genocidal, inhuman, disgusting, murderous actions of the IDF and Benjamin Netanyahu and those like him, I have not really commented on the goings on there.
Mostly this has been because any commentary on the details of the events there would be missing the much more important and salient point of the entirety of the COVID scam and WWIII overall, which started at the end of October 2019 and in which we are now in the fifth year of.
This has been finally and beautifully summed up in this post at Vox Popoli. Here is the primary extract, but read the whole thing.
All of the economic crises since 1989, and the economic crises to come, are quite literally created in order to weaken the natural resistance to the structural globalization sought by Clown World. This is why we keep hearing about how defeat in Ukraine means not only defeat, but the end of the neoliberal world order.
In short, yes, it is absolutely true and all wars in modern times, certainly from WWI onwards, have all, without exception, been bankers wars.
And when you look at who exactly runs these banks and these wars, who exactly profits from them, the usual suspects, like Rothschilds and Soros and so on are absolutely and completely complicit.
When you see that, the inevitable WWIII fatigue sets in even before WWIII appears. As the meme goes: It’s all just so tiresome. And predictable at the grossest level if not in the details.
As an individual, especially if you’re somewhat misanthropic, like I am, the best strategy until October 2019 was to simply avoid and ignore all the evil that these people running things perpetrated on the planet. This broadly speaking meant:
- Ignore all political parties and their rhetoric
- Ignore all economists and their bafflegarble
- Avoid being in any military or any place that can potentially become a war-zone
- Look only at realities as they are and ignore all the “theories” of “experts”
- Ignore journalists and mainstream media
- Ignore political correctness and any of its hydra-spawning heads like wokeness, liberalism, feminism, socialism, communism, capitalism, and pretty much all the “isms”
- Focus on your own interests and family and secure what you can as best you can
I pretty much embodied all of the above points except the last one, which I only really did from 2018/19 on. The reason being that the family from which I originated had pretty much scattered to the four winds before I even finished high-school and I did not create a family of my own until 2018/2019, after my first attempt in 2010/2011 failed spectacularly. In essence I had no reason to secure anything in life, and doing so tends to be dreary, routine, “boring” (but necessary) work. I preferred instead to explore and experience life in its many facets. I travelled a lot. I saw many different people and cultures and learnt many different ways that people are both superficially and deeply, and I did it all mostly to just satisfy my own curiosity.
I was never a materialist, even in my brief atheistic stint from age 7 to 16 or thereabouts. Always what mattered most to me was my own internal sense of justice, honour, and perhaps most of all curiosity; especially of things that may be avoided by most, usually due to complexity or danger of the situation or thing being investigated.
It is mostly why I have had what —-by anyone’s standards—- can be said to be an unusual life, if you’re polite; and batshit insane if you’re more accustomed to how most normal people in the West live.
I think there are a couple of types of people in life, those who are constitutionally built that way internally, like me, those who pretend to be because they value the supposed bragging rights or “fame” or “status” such lives apparently inspire in other, and those who avoid such unstable and frankly dangerous lives. While the danger in my case was real and yes, it did include people literally wanting to kill me, a life lived in exploration/curiosity mode is dangerous in far leas obvious way. Aside injury, disease or accidental death, you also have things like not having a pension plan (I was always aware this was a factor and I still think it’s not worth worrying about even at age 54) not necessarily being in a place where medical or emergency attention is even possible, the prospect of being later unable to settle down to create a family, or becoming gradually addicted to being nomadic in work, life, relationships, and so on.
In short, while your life may be personally enriched and deepened by many sights you see and people and circumstances you encounter and involve yourself with, ultimately you may end up leaving nothing behind of much use or worth. Up until 2019, my legacy was limited to the books, The Face on Mars, Systema, and Believe! And while each of these was indeed a book that did inspire and change lives, which I know, because at least some of the people who read them wrote to tell me so, if there was going to be any improvement in the world, it was left for others to do so. The hope being that at least some of those who did read those books, could take those lessons on board and go on to make structural changes in the world that I had little interest to take on personally. And when I say little interest, I mean that I simply could not imagine dedicating my life to try and improve much of anything on a planet that was, by all intents and purposes, populated by a bunch of selfish, destructive, and worst of all, stupid monkeys.
My plan, since age 16 or so had pretty much remained unchanged. Find at least one person worthwhile and make an island of the two of you and forget the world. It was basically the speech that the character played by Sean Penn gives at the end of the film The Thin Red Line. I could have written those same words years before at age 16 when I recall making a clear and committed thought to that kind of life. The world was full of lies, idiots, and an endless ocean of bullshit. The only answer I saw was to get into your own little boat and sail it while remaining detached from it all. Maybe I could find a little island above it, or create it. The idea of children really was not even on the cards, given this boomer-inspired propaganda version of how I saw the world. Absent a real, demonstrable evidence of a loving God that actually cares about us specifically, not much matters. And that evidence must be pretty rock solid, at least to yourself, but in my case that required pretty massive proof.
Why the long paragraphs of apparent self-absorbed biography? Not because you should care about me or my life or my reasons, but because I suspect if you are of my kind, that is, the explorer kind, you may have similar attitudes and approaches to life as I had.
And hopefully you are younger than me today and perhaps you can benefit from my experience, and avoid the things that can otherwise make you waste years of time before you realise what truly matters. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t regret my life and I spend exactly zero minutes a year pondering “what ifs” in a forlorn manner. My “what ifs” are mostly amused reflections, and at most I have a twinge of nostalgia for some times long gone, and perhaps a self-critique of my relative lack of kindness towards some people or situations, which was usually simply the result of my own pitiless observations of reality as it is, which I then applied to myself before doing so to anyone else.
But the point remains, that some things do matter, and like with my books, I often wish I could as easily transmit those things to others in some efficient way.
My later books, especially Reclaiming the Catholic Church and Caveman Theory, but also the RPG Surviving the Current Zombie Apocalypse, are primarily aimed at showing you the way of moving towards, and achieving, those things that do matter:
- The knowledge of God and the truth of Him, which for all my supposed (and real) intelligence, I missed for some 43 years or so.
- The primary relationship you need to create a family, and,
- How to survive whatever comes at you to create that family and make it thrive.
So, here, in this blog post, let me try to impart onto you why, unless you are personally involved in the hot front of one of the current hotspots of WWIII, your focus should be on building your own realm and thus shifting your reality from that of a subject/victim/cog-in-the-machine, to that of Lord of your tiny realm, and in any event, absolute and sole decider of your choices and consequences you will face in life.
The simple fact of the matter is that absent your conscious rejection and resistance to the path the satanic billionaire pedophiles and bankers (but I repeat myself) that run things want to put you on, you WILL be put on it.
Resisting and rejecting it only step 1.
Step 2 is you need to create communities of others that like you reject and resist it. It is YOUR job to do so. No one else will do it for you. You are that leader. There is no one else.
Step 3 is organise and act as a community.
That’s it.
I have always done step 1 even as child for the most part. But I never bothered to even try and do step 2 until about a year or year and a half ago. Mostly because from 2019 until 2022 I was busy providing a situation for my family that would be resilient to anything that the world could throw at us, and while that is a constant and never ending task, I have for the most part achieved that. The next step is community building and while it is not a natural skill for me, I am relatively successful at it, especially when you consider my lifelong misanthropy.
Step 3 will eventually come along when a critical mass of people is reached.
If you are busy doing these things, the entirety of the war in Ukraine, the genocide happening in Gaza, the possible eventual war-zone of Israel, the reclaiming of Taiwan by China, the incredible embargo being put in place by the Houthis in Yemen on Red Sea shipping, and even the regular crime happening in many cities in Europe and the so-called West, are pretty much irrelevant to you unless there are drones and bullets whizzing past your head.
Your position should be like the one of a soldier in war time that is not yet at the front. Prepare, drill, ensure your gear is up to the task, co-ordinate and co-operate with your team, and if you’re just a couple of guys, use the analogous military metaphor. Sniper teams are two people. But you can recruit the local goat herder to have his goats block a road or act as a warning when enemy enters the territory. Stock up on food and learn the local landscape. Who’s reliable, who’s not and who’s a potential liability? What skills have you developed? What security have you created? And so on.
If you are of the adventuring class, you’re different from the average NPC, your life is certainly less boring, though also probably less secure in some ways and paradoxically more secure in others. Your specific situation will be unique, but the generic advice I have tried to transmit here and that I reiterate below in bullet-point format remains correct for almost all of you. Here it is again:
- God is real and exists and prayer and miracles are real. You may think this is nonsense as I did for about 43 years. I was wrong. I can’t prove it to you but I have satisfied myself beyond doubt this is the case. And I am almost certainly more skeptical than you have ever been.
- The family you are born into is incidental and may be good or bad or a mix. The family you create yourself is your responsibility and your duty to provide for. Luxury is not required. It’s why it’s called luxury. Fundamentals are. And the most fundamental things are not material even though you need at least enough material stuff to eat regularly and so on. Find the right woman for yourself and that understands what matters and create your own family. The world right now is completely aimed at preventing you from doing that. I wrote Caveman Theory specifically to help you see how to go about doing that.
- A certain level of money or resources is required to put yourself in a position where you can provide for your family as well as lead others in a community you begin yourself. So if you have not got that yet, work at it. And hard. Because a financial crash of global proportions is already under way, whether it continues as the rising tide that it has been since 2020 or whether it breaks like a tsunami no one can really predict accurately, and different places will have different things happen, but your entire savings turning to being worth less than second-hand toilet paper is a very real possibility in the months and years to come. So don’t get despondent, get manic at making that money and converting it to tangible assets. If you’re a young single guy in 2024 that might just be getting a motor home and a shotgun, in preparation for the days of Mad Max apocalypse.scenario. Or it may mean you want to buy an Island in Panama (I nearly did). Whatever it is, work at it in emergency mode. Secure the best assets you can as quick as you can and don’t stop hustling. You’ll have time to rest when the collapse happens or you’re dead. Whichever comes first.
And that’s it. And if you are in a hot zone… well, it’s simple really: GTFO.
It’s already here
Vox wrote an interesting report on warhammer 40,000 and why it survived so long against leftist invasion. The original post he links to specifies that writing an RPG based in hardcore truths is resistant to woke agendas.
Well, this is precisely why I have made my RPG as it is.
Surviving the Current Zombie Apocalypse (SCZA) is written so as to be both humorous and entertaining yet useful as a learning tool too.
You can get it as a full colour hardcopy from Amazon, or as a PDF from my E-store.
And don’t take my word for it. Here is an Amazon review:

2.0 out of 5 stars
Verified Purchase
Fun idea, but ultimately not much usable
Reviewed in Canada on March 24, 2022
The “Inside pages” preview gives you a sense that this is a zombie apocalypse game in a world where all the conspiracy theories are real. Fun sounding premise, right? I thought so, so bought the book, but it wasn’t what I hoped for. For anyone else who’s considering buying this, let me explain my issues with it so you can see if it’s worth it or not for you. The book is in two major pieces – the story of the world, and the role playing system. The first part wasn’t really what I expected, and maybe that’s my fault. Here are my issues with the book. 1) By taking most conspiracy theories as factually true, the world it creates has a definite white nationalist tone. It’s all done tongue-in-cheek, but nevertheless, you have an anti-equality, anti-Semitic, transphobic, bigoted world-view that runs throughout. That’s not the kind of campaign I want to run. I play with women and visible minorities, but I wouldn’t want my campaign to be like this even if it was all white men – it just feels a bit gross to my modern sensibilities. Perhaps it’s my bad that I didn’t expect that outcome from the premise, since that seems to be the logical conclusion of most modern conspiracies. It’s a game that’s supposed to be dark, and I understand that – I just don’t want to breathe life into it. 2) The game also veers into pretty distinct religiosity. Again, I know it’s entertainment, but there’s an awful lot of the story dedicated to the Christians, a particular strain of Catholicism that is the “true” religion, good fighting evil, God and Satan, bishops, popes, priests, etc. This is more than just a normal character class or a faction, it seems like it’s the backbone of the new world order. Meh. Just won’t be that interesting to me or my players. 3) I could be wrong on this, but I don’t believe the zombies are intended to be literally zombies. If they are, it’s pretty darn subtle and easy to overlook. While there are a couple bits of colour text that say the “zombies” might even be commanded eat to flesh, it’s really more about how all the vaccinated are under mind control from the evil overlords. In other words, the “sheeple”. Instead of getting World War Z, it feels a bit more like a dysfunctional version of The Office. Again – unique perspective, but not what I was truly after. This is the factor that’s probably the biggest disappointment. 4) Finally, the game system. I give the author kudos for inventing a system that’s simple, uses standard dice, makes the players fragile, and is built on a bell curve. Those are all great attributes, although for me personally that’s only a 50% win. I think the game system is just a bit too simple – specifically character creation. Basically 2 stats and some optional skills. Don’t get me wrong – I hate Pathfinder and feel 5e is burdened with books and books of rules. But I think Chaosium’s Basic Role Playing has it just right. Just enough complexity for the GM and Player to manage easily at the table as well as giving lots of room to grow the character. Also, on the d6 thing – I’m just not a huge fan of d6 only systems. My crew has “invested” in tons of dice, so limiting them to one set only seems almost a bit cruel. Half the fun of an RPG is owning all the platonic solids. In summary, like most anything you’ll get for a real game, it’s a sourcebook. Every GM has their own personal tastes, and some will be able to use more that’s here than others. What I’ll personally be able to salvage from it in terms of good, usable, and playable ideas is less than a single page. I recognize the work that’s gone into it, and I’m not trying to be critical about the result – it just doesn’t match what I need. If you are expecting something more like a playable version of Max Brooks “Zombie Survival Guide” like I was, keep searching. But if you’re more open to taking today’s world and dialling up the dysfunction and conspiracies up to 11, it might be just for you.
All the other reviews are 5 stars, but I am not sure that Andy Gryc’s review is having the effect he intended. I know several people purchased the game as a result of it.
And there is of course a starter set Module for it (E-store PDF)
And for those already willing to experiment with the game system, the game could be easily adapted to play out some of the events found in the recent novella In the Shadows of Monte Castello.
The point is that with much of my fiction writing the baselines are rooted in very solid reality.
The whole Overlords of Mars trilogy as found in one volume (Nazi Moon) is soundly based on The Face on Mars written in 1995 and Systema written in 2011 and the thread of Reclaiming the Catholic Church shadows most things I do today.
So while the route and the road may be flexible, ultimately, if your entertainment is any good, it should reflect recognisable realities, regardless of how fantastic the setting might be.
And real virtues, such as courage, moral fortitude, reason, Justice and so on, are ultimately timeless, no matter how much the woke want to pretend otherwise.
