Urban Warfare Concepts

World War Three is clearly beginning its hot phase after 3 years of “soft” biowarfare in the form of genetic serums under cover of “vaccines”, 5G electromagnetic manipulation, information overload and gigantic psyops going on in turbo mode since 2016.

As such, in the keeping with the idea of constant education, this post will posit a few potential scenarios concerning various degrees of urban warfare and the best weapons for each of these scenarios.

The point is to give at least a general level of tactical understanding of urban warfare, starting with low-level riots/home intrusions and going all the way up to Gaza strip level of warfare.

As mentioned, the purpose is merely educational and not a suggestion to break laws or become a criminal. The idea is to inform people, on the basis of historical and/or actual/current conflicts, what one can expect in urban warfare and what the best approaches to self-defence of you and your lived ones might be in each instance.

In each case, it is assumed that the normal processes of law and order and just policing have been either completely lost or at best sporadic, unreliable and quite possibly hostile, depending on variables too numerous to mention.

Level 1 – low level rioting/home invasions

Do not be fooled into thinking that a home invasion, especially by an armed intruder is anything less than attempted murder.

I Jewish law (and anyone logical too) a man that enters your home, by force and armed, is logically assumed to be someone meaning you harm and at the very least willing to murder you in order to get away unscathed. Hence his being armed. That’s assuming his intent isn’t rape and murder to begin with anyway. So, in all instances of then hypothetical scenarios presented here, priority is given to your immediate survival, with zero thought of the aftermath and consequences that can arise from killing men intent of doing you harm.

In many countries, even legitimate self defence will still land you in a lot of legal trouble and quite possibly jail. So, keep that in mind, but for the purposes of this post, the idea is that, as my father says, better be judged by 12 than carried by 6. And as always: only YOU are responsible for your actions or inactions, son’t blame me or my blog or anyone else.

Regarding riots, the advice is simple: don’t be in one. If you find yourself in a sudden one, get away from it as fast as possible.

Regarding home invasions, many factors come into it, since the law is very different from place to place, however, since in thy is instance we are considering a scenario of catastrophic economic and societal collapse, with little to no police presence and/or most police being essentially just strangers already possessing guns, the legality side of things will be totally ignored here.

In such a lawless instance where someone enters your home with criminal intent, you are on your own, no police is going to help you while it happens, and as such, it is up to you to protect yourself. Obviously guns are best for home defence, especially since in the “apocalypse start” scenario, looters and home invaders will be in groups and seldom alone.

Your advantage is you know the layout and they do not. Faced with multiple armed attackers the policy must be shoot first and ask nothing. In such situations, a short shotgun with buckshot is hard to beat. My preferred item is an 8 shot pump action Winchester, because they are cheap, short, and reliable. You may have your own preferred and more expensive brand, Mossberg, or Benelli, but I would stick with pump action, because a bit like revolvers, you don’t need to worry about jams, which can happen in semi-automatic models. You should know the areas in your home that are bullet resistant. In the USA, where they build with wood and gypsum board, you’re in a lot more danger than in homes built with concrete and bricks, so know exactly what areas, if any, are actually bulletproof. What corners of your home you might take reasonable cover behind.

All else failing wait in your bedroom or wherever you are with your shotgun, pointing at the door and (assuming all your loved ones are with you and you are actually being home invaded, so you don’t accidentally shoot a family member because your cat made a noise in the night) blast away when bad guy opens it. And keep blasting until he and friends are appropriately neutralised.

Do not go outside or even start to creep around your home to search for intruders. Let them come to you. At least in the first place. But in most cases even after.

Level 2 – Anarchy: Early stages

This is the bit where in ex Yugoslavia, when it hit, people suddenly realised a cop was just a man with a gun. Which more often than not meant he could kill you and take your things, wife, children, car, and so on. And at the time, this realisation was a rude shock for normal people. This is the consolidation stage where families find the safest place to hole up and secure the area. If this is limited to your immediate family and just one house you are far from secure, because the immediate next step is gangs of armed men “foraging”. If you are in an apartment block, you’d best figure out which of your neighbours will fall into ally, liability or enemy category, fast. Depending on layout, shotguns will still ne the preferred interior weapon if you live in either apartment blocks or houses made with bullet resistant walls. I say resistant because most modern houses will not actually stop a standard NATO round with a single wall of cement blocks or bricks, much less an actual machine gun round (.50 BMG).

At this stage though, you also want to establish a perimeter and for that, the standard AK-47, AK-74, and various AR-15 and clones of a variety of civilian semi-automatic and military fully automatic weapons become more useful. While not as instantly deadly at interior of a home ranges as a shotgun, they more easily can shoot through interior walls, which can be an advantage or a liability, depending on the situation, but at this stage can be considered an advantage as your immediate family should already know how to act and where to be in case of an assault on your primary shelter/home location. If you’re in a rural area you should have had a little more time to organise yourself and possibly your neighbours, and depending on layout you might be relatively safe, but as this is about urban areas, this is where you try and get any extended family or really good friends to pull together and all inhabit the same place. A recounting of the Yugoslavian war explained how two families had pooled resources and people and places all the women and children in the middle of a giant open plan room, where the cooking and mending of clothes or other things happened, how the men remained armed at all times taking shifts to guard the perimeter and how only men armed to the teeth ever roamed away from the main home to forage for stuff. In fact they had knocked down a wall between their houses to form the central common area. This is smart thinking and the larger numbers make it easier to defend a position from competing tribes/gangs. The important thing to realise here is that your own neighbours and city block inhabitants are most likely your immediate enemy, competing for whatever limited resources you have. Water for drinking and cooking will be the primary resource everyone needs, so stock up, even if only by the immediate means of filling a bathtub with it before the mains are cut off or contaminated. Ammunition, weapons and numbers, will determine who ultimately can have what. Plan accordingly.

Level 3 – Anarchy: entrenched or early military actions

After the immediate shock of societal collapse, a certain level of “stable chaos” arises relatively quickly. If you take Gaza as a current example, after the initial events of October 7th, there was an immediate large scale chaos on both sides of the conflict, which could be thought of as Level 1 in the more secure and unaffected areas inside Gaza or the ones bordering the action inside Israel, and level 2 in the affected areas, but after a day or two, even the affected areas became this level 3, where there were some incursions from either side, but more a skirmish level of stuff which was the calm before the storm, and in the Gaza example this lasted some twenty days or so, roughly three weeks, which is about a ballpark figure for how long it takes a full military force to organise itself before a full assault or entrenched position. This is a period where most normal people will consolidate their situation (as explained above, level 2) but if there are scouts in the group, is actually the time to try to understand where and what will be the safest option. Figuring that out however, especially if your communications is cut off or non existent is far from easy and even supposed military experts have totally screwed that up in recent conflicts. The safest option of all of course is to never be in a conflict area. The early stages of collapse is potentially the easiest time to get out of the area, but this is also totally chaotic and unpredictable. Roads may be barricaded by the military, access to routes out of the conflict area may be blocked and so on, making escape difficult, but in all likelihood, easier earlier than at any other time. If I were trapped in London, say, at the start of a conflict, I would certainly take my chances to get my family out and rural as fast as possible. While almost all main routes out might well be blockaded either by armed forces or worse (initially at least) rioting looters, it is almost impossible to completely lock down the whole city in every respect. Even with small children, I would probably opt to try and get out by aide roads and if that fails I would still consider hiking it out on foot at night to get past road closures if there was a rural area I had relatives or potential shelter away from the city. But once again, this assumes urban warfare, so, assuming you are now in the entrenched anarchy or early stages of conflict, it is a time to seriously consolidate and fortify your position and/or relocate it if you realise it is in a bad area that will become the focal point of full on warfare. Creating some kind of bomb-shelter would be a priority for me, and given I’d prefer to be shot dead than buried alive, it would have to be a really secure one for me to opt for it instead of just taking my chances outside of it.

In a full on war, high-rise buildings do not fare well. Aside from the fact that water gets cut off first in such instances and getting it up there becomes a tiring and dangerous chore, since electricity and elevators are out, they are essentially vulnerable to bombing and structurally death-traps, so, my personal position would be to get out of any such structure and far away from it. Whatever your urban situation in this third stage, you are now dealing with area protection and area denial issues as well as firepower issues.

Making your perimeter non-obvious and yet extremely difficult to traverse is the main objective. If you can use vehicles and/or wreck them and/or set them on fire so they become permanent blockades is a quick solution to at least making certain roads or routes impassable to civilian vehicles and things smaller than military trucks or tanks. The ideal solution is not a giant wall around your home (though it can’t hurt if you have one) but rather a labyrinth of narrow accesses and rubble/blockades to get to them. Guarding the access routes being easier than guarding the whole perimeter, though you should guard the whole perimeter too, of course. The idea is to create zones that are too hard or unpleasant for most raiders to go through, leading them naturally to the easier routes which become your own kill zones or check points, depending on if enemy or friendly comes through it. This set up can be limited to the perimeter of your garden, or extended to include a few city blocks depending on the cohesion and number of people involved. Standard issue military weapons here are the preferred option, including some sniper rifle type set-up if you have vantage points from which to protect or oversee an area. In which case, the local bell tower is NOT a good idea. The obvious locations for snipers tend to attract not just high volumes of enemy fire, but also tank main weapon shells, drones and even airstrikes, so, if you fancy yourself a sexy sniper, think again. These are the guys who will crawl through a side road open sewer for two days then lie in it for three days just to keep observing enemy movements and then crawl all the way back without having fired a shot, because the information is more precious than a single dead enemy soldier.

Defending against enemy military is dangerous and difficult, but not impossible. The people of Donetsk and Luhansk did it for some 8 years. And it was a civilian resistance composed mainly of fathers and grandfathers. Again, knowing your terrain, creating kill zones and confusing blockades or fake ambush points, overwhelming firepower from multiple directions and scouting of enemy movements all become very important. Modern militaries will make extensive use of drones for reconnaissance, area denial and frontal assaults. The technology in these things is such they can literally see through walls in some cases, so, often, hiding from them is limited to being deep underground or at least buried enough by rubble or other materials to make their IR and UV sensors less effective. Against a determined military opponent armed with all the latest gadgetry, a civilian rabble force is at a distinct disadvantage, however, that said, look at Iraq or Afghanistan. The most powerful military in the world got routed by a bunch of sheep herders in Afghanistan. There is much to be said for area denial by improvised traps, explosive devices and so on. The danger being your own side and people can be subject to them too, including your own booby traps if you forget where they are exactly or are not aware of them having been added to. Any enemy military that is killed or captured would also obviously be a source of more or better weapons if it is possible to retrieve them.

In this level of conflict you will soon find out if you are on the front line or not, and with a little scouting you should be able to figure out when or if your position will become the front line.

Paper maps, binoculars, civilian drones, batteries, walkie-talkies, and securing better shelter/protection/area denial areas become important in this stage, as well ambush areas, coalition or ally making with nearby areas or factions. It is easy to get “comfortable” in this stage, especially if you are not in the front lines where the military conflict/action takes place and are not likely to be anytime soon. However, it is important to recognise when and how the war moves so that you have some warning of enemy troop movement and intentions, so that you have a chance of avoiding remaining in a level 4 zone later.

This level 3 time can still support weak non-combatants like children, the elderly, certain women, and so on, if you had the luck or foresight to prepare and be in a suitable area and have enough people to secure it as best as possible. Level 4 zones are essentially killing fields and active war zones, where military men die regularly and civilians are little more than dead bodies, so you want to avoid being in one at all costs, and that often is the result of good information, good scouting and correct use of such information. And, as always, luck or divine providence. Ideal weapons for level 3 are mostly assault rifles and long arms. In active war-zones handguns are what they always have been, secondary emergency weapons. And knives are merely field tools for the most part. Even shotguns will be of limited use depending on the layout of the city. If you are in Venice, and assuming no carpet bombing, even a hammer can be very useful given some of the tiny calles where you can only walk down in single file and have multiple brick and concrete doorways in them, but in a metropolis like London or San Francisco, a shotgun would be mostly useless between city blocks. So assault rifles would be the go to weapon in most cases. With the occasional sniper weapon by people trained in scouting or sniping, if such exist in your midst.

Level 4 – Active War Zone

Your best bet here is to not be in one. Full military force activity. Including active groups of enemy infantry, artillery, aerial bombardment by airstrikes and drones, including guided kamikaze drones, and attack helicopters, tanks and other military vehicles.

Your chances of survival here in a direct confrontation approach nil. Your best bet is to escape the area if possible or hide as deep underground as possible in a location you hope will not be struck by repeated bombardment.

Entirely collapsed buildings that have already been struck by aerial or artillery fire, preferably at least twice, may make ideal hiding spots. Usually rubble is not worth bombing repeatedly, unless live fire comes out of it again. And if you go deep enough in it, most drones will not easily pick you out and if they do and you don’t have obvious weaponry on you they may assume you’re a survivor of the original bombing and possibly not waste a drone or artillery round on you. Of course, rubble is dangerous anyway and you might end up buried alive by sheer bad luck without any enemy fire at all.

Unless you are part of the actual military force yourself, your survival here hinges mostly on becoming invisible or getting out of the area, and your weapons would be used mostly to keep you invisible or getting rid of other factions preventing your escape from the area. Even as active military, depending on circumstances, your survival here is precarious at best.

Conclusions

Other than the initial stages, which might be relatively “easy” to survive if they do not escalate, the worst place to be in a war is an urban zone. But if you are stuck in one, then the above general concepts are your most likely survivable scenario.

Concentrated Advice for Men (and some Women)

The sheer number of young men that I at first simply thought were rudderless, spineless, weaklings, is huge.

And perhaps many of them are. But I was also surprised by the enormous improvement and sensible life choices many of them make with only a little guidance. This post then, is like the postcard version of all you need to know to be a successful man.

And please understand that by “successful” I do not mean having great wealth or being famous or anything along those lines. Those things are incidental to the action and reality of being simply a man. In the order given below then, with mere bullet-points and little to no explanation of each of the points, except the last, here it is:

  • First decide what kind of man you want to be. What attributes, what values, what skills, what is important to the man you want to be and what is not. You can take inspiration from anyone or anything, from comic book characters, historical figures, or people you know, but decide who you would like to be. And try not to limit yourself. Obviously if you are 5’ 4” you aren’t going to become 6’ 4”, but aside physical axioms, you can decide how honest, how proficient at a chosen skill and so on.
  • Second: Work at it. From now until the day you die. If you feel at any point you have already achieved all you can in terms of who you want to be, you’re either lazy or aiming too low.
  • Chose your own path. Yes you will make mistakes, but everyone does, and your own are far more tolerable than having to live with the consequences that arise from making someone else’s mistakes.
  • Listen to everyone and ignore them all. Sounds contradicting but is really paradoxical. EVERYONE will give you free advice on EVERY aspect of your life. And most of it is bullshit. So, go ahead and ask or listen to it, but realise that in the end only YOU make the decisions in your life for everything in it, and that happens as a result of those —YOUR— decisions. No one else’s.
  • Respect hierarchies that deserve respect. Ignore fake one.
  • When it comes to women, remember that infinite topics are reduced to pithy sayings only as a result of large number statistics and generalities. And while that is true, generalities are still facts, just not every time; only most of the time. Most PUA stuff is advice given by people who think human beings are reducible to a set of mathematical variables. And who prey on the wallets of men. All you really need to know and do is simply to be a man, that is, your best self as per the advice above, and stick to your guns. Not unreasonably so, not eternally and unchangingly. Just most of the time in most of the ways.

On that last point especially, a recent conversation I had with my wife was quite endearing. I forget how we got onto the topic, I seem to recall it may have been to do with mentioning our son and life advice for the future and so on. In any case, my comment was simply along the lines that all a man needs to do is stick to his own road and way. Because women have no idea what they really want, and it changes with the weather, or the alignment of the planets and so on. So if you were to try and change your life in accordance with that, you will achieve the opposite kind of result you want and be miserable throughout it, and, so would the woman you are trying to please. That last being the key point almost all men today (and pretty much all women) get wrong, or don’t understand. She looked at me for a second or two, then smiled and kind of shyly carried on looking at me in that way she has. I always knew she was the right one. Long before she did.

And she told me a story about one of her relatives who as a young man really liked this girl, and when he told her and her other relatives about it, every one of the women present advised him to stay away from the girl, as they deemed she was trouble and up to no good and would get him in trouble too. She went on to say how this young man ignored all of them and carried on his pursuit of this girl. And now, years later they are not just married with children, but very happily so. And she said how glad she was he didn’t listen to any of their advice.

We talked about this too and two films come to mind, one is the one with Mel Gibson called What Women Want, which is where Mel gets the power to read the minds of women and in a scene, in a meeting, he reads the mind of what one of the women in the meeting is thinking, so he says exactly what she is thinking so as to get her to agree to whatever the issue was, and she immediately disagrees with him. I thought that was a brilliant aspect of the female mind well-explained.

Another, film, which we recently watched for the second time actually, as we had forgotten about it, is called About Time and is possibly one of the best films I have ever seen. So if you don’t want a spoiler, skip the next paragraph in Italic below this one.

In it, the main character wants to get with this girl and he has the power to travel back in his own timeline. He finally gets the nerve to ask the girl about being with him on the last day of her holidays with his family, and she says, it’s too late now, he should have made his move earlier. So he goes back in time and makes his move earlier and she says they should wait and he should ask her on the last day of her holidays.

Once again, a perfect exposition of how the female mind actually works. Because it has very little to do with linear logic or keeping your word, or being honest and direct. A woman may want to do all of these things, but… and there is always a but… her mood might change, her hormones may be out of balance, the Moon may be full that night and make her euphoric or morose. It’s not even that they mean to lie or be deceptive or inconsistent. A feminine woman will genuinely want to be a good girl, but will still screw this up regularly. And as long as those screw ups are within a certain realm of “passable” a man will forgive them, because from time to time, his life choices for them both will go via forest animal tracks instead of good, safe, highways, and she will forgive him those too.

The worst women, of course, will calculatingly use the fact they are a woman to put into action the very worst, nefarious schemes they planned from the start, then act the poor hormonal victim, but then, narcissists of either sex are a complete nightmare, and we are discussing here non-demonic types of human beings.

The point is that a man should first and foremost be himself. And as the ancient oracle to Delphi stated (a place I visited, by the way) the first rule for a man, is to know himself.

Know who you are. Know who you want to be. Know what you have done and are doing to get there, and what you will keep on doing until you do get there, and then improve on it, to the end of your days.

Now, a man that is himself, that knows who he is and why, and that has chosen to be as he is, consciously —not merely being the result of the hazards and parenting and trauma that invariably shapes all our lives— well, such a man will not veer his path for the mere whimsy of some woman. No matter how pretty she is, or how good in bed, or what promises she makes him. A man needs to, first and foremost, alter his path in the ocean he sails only as a result of his own choices and his own decisions.

Which is not to say he does not consider anyone else or ignores all advice or runs roughshod over the wishes and dreams and desires of his woman or other loved ones. It simply means exactly what I wrote, no more and no less. If you do veer the path for your woman in some way, let it be because YOU decided to do so. YOU calculated the risks and the losses and the gains. YOU decided this move was the best move, and YOU and only YOU will be to blame if it is the wrong move. Because to try and hold your woman to account for YOUR decisions is almost entirely nonsensical, weak, and fruitless.

Of course, YOU will be held responsible by her, for every stupid, weak, bad, decision SHE made that turned out badly. And your reminding her that if she believes the feminine imperative that women have their own agency in reality (the only actual fact of feminist theory, arguable though it is) then her mistakes are hers and hers alone, will not endear her to you (I know, it’s a shocking surprise!). Nor will explaining that if she does reject that feminine imperative, well, then, she should just go along with whatever her husband says and if and when some of his decisions turn out badly, she should be nurturingly understanding and remember all the good decisions he made for her and how the overall total (hopefully!) balances out far more in the positive than the negative.

The point is that ultimately, for all human beings, making your own choices and taking the responsibility that goes with it is your just lot in life. Few human beings live this way though, of either sex. Men generally are statistically a lot better at it than women though. And those men that live this way may have good or bad lives, but for the most part, they at least are at peace with themselves.

If you find a woman that lives this way, and she is happy with you, then marry her. It won’t mean she will not do female things in that infuriatingly chaotic female way. She will. Because she’s a woman. But if she also happens to be the type that in time or at least when faced with the cold facts, realises her own faults and admits them (at least to you and you alone) then, know you have with you an uncommon human being, and as far as women go, practically a unicorn.

And of course, it also helps if you are learned enough in mythology, to know how to guide unicorns to pleasant meadows where they might find fresh water to drink. And then they might choose to do so. While you patiently wait along the shore.

The morons reading this that will assume the usual (me big, bad, patriarchal, misogynist, chauvinist pig and woman, poor victims always and regardless, with all agency but no responsibility whatsoever) are, as I have always said, irrelevant human wreckage, so, as always, don’t just ignore them, shun them from your life, for they are a pestilence and bring nothing good to your life.

Those that are merely severely brainwashed by the modern zeitgeist (and who isn’t on some level) simply need to see, observe, learn and notice in their own lives, that women are happier when able to rely on their man to guide them both through life, with them helping and offering their perspective, but being comfortable letting him “drive” so to speak.

Of course, this is true when the man is actually a man, and not some semblance of a caricature, either being overly “dominant” or rather, arrogant, in an endeavour to cover up his lack of ability/knowledge/status/power/big dick energy/whatever.

And remember that I always make a distinction between an arrogant man (someone who says and/or thinks he can, when he actually can’t) and what in Italian is known as superbo which is a man that says he can, and he can. In short, someone who is not humble, (or at least apparently not humble at first impact or exterior appearance) but not a fake either.

The worst type of “man” is the faker who takes on the airs of a competent and self-conscious man (as in conscious of himself, not as in shy), while being an actual empty shell inside. Such men might fool a woman initially, but bring only misery. While an actually competent man, may or may not land the woman of his dreams, but pretty much any woman that is into him, would be generally happy with him if he is into her too.

But all these more detailed explanation and imaging of overall concept still boil down to basically just one thing:

Be who you choose to be, be consistent with it, and make your way in it. The rest, more or less, will follow and happen as it does and perhaps needs to. And the right woman for you will, indeed, not only follow in your path, she will help beautify it.

Life on this Earth can be very hard, and likely to get harder. Picking the right man or woman to make children with and go through it together is one of the things that makes it absolutely worthwhile. So choose carefully… but first…

Know yourself.

Ah, the Chutzpah!

It really is amazing the level at which the Jews are supposed to be prevented from being criticised; by anyone, at any level, for any reason whatsoever.

And how they expect this to simply be accepted by everyone forever. And in fact already have special laws preventing any criticism, any questioning and in some cases even precluding not trading with Israel for private firms.

It certainly clarifies that old saying about if you want to know who runs things, look at who you are not allowed to criticise.

Except we have move well beyond criticism here. It is now effectively apparently becoming illegal to simply notice facts.

And woe betide anyone who notices that if you get kicked out of 109 countries for a total of over 1000 times, and you happen to always have a totally disproportionate number of representatives in the mass media, banking, various branches of government, and lawyering of said countries, perhaps, just perhaps, you know, maybe, just maybe, you are the problem and not everyone else just being violently “antisemitic” for no reason at all.

The AI memes

It is a well known fact that any AI left to its own devices will become absolutely politically incorrect very quickly.

Explaining differences on genetics, ethnicities, political systems with the same cold equations a computer does anything. Which means that in a matter of days it will become rampantly “racist”, “antisemitic”, patriarchal and antifeminist.

Because… well… reality… it’s a thing.

So the new AI are neutered from the start and fed lies that simply do not match up with reality and are also inconsistent within the AI’s own code. So an AI will tell you it’s fine to be proud of your Jewish or Black African heritage, but will chastise you for being proud of your White European heritage.

And yet, despite the limitations, the memes that are being produced by AI generated images are rhetorical nukes. And they can be produced in seconds. This one I found at a random place is typical and a subtler one than most.

The Value of Hypotheticals

Armies roleplay scenarios. Because it provides strategic and tactical insights.

Sportsmen practice actively imagining performing well. Because it produces actual results in the real world. And yes it has been tested.

Even centuries ago, samurai were taught to imagine multiple scenarios of battle so as to be ready to act in accordance with their samurai ethos when it came to it. And they did.

The point is that there is enormous value in using your mind and imagination, with input and feedback from the real world, to consider how to overcome any adversity, out-do those who wish you ill, and thrive where the expectation from the majority was for you to go quietly into the night.

The latest poll I did showed that only about 15% of the readers of this blog would be instantly wiped out by a nuclear bomb hitting the closest large town to them.

Now, that might not be a very likely occurrence, being as it borders on the extreme, but depending on where you live, it’s not completely far-fetched either.

And even if not that, it is never a bad idea to be prepared. Economic collapse is a certainty after all, the only question is when, exactly, but there is no “if” about it, because math is not an opinion.

However, it is extremely important to understand the difference between being prepared and living in a constant state of low level anxiety about the future.

The first is a state that permit you to go about your days with a sense of confident peace. No one can be 100% prepared for everything life throws at you. Some are happy enough just going along with the stream, taking things as they come, and that may be a way. I have lived that way and it can be a useful set of faith or fate based ways to take life on. But the reality, for me anyway, is that I have always lived that way primarily because of two things:

Firstly, I have a deeply fatalistic core. I can’t take credit for that. God made me that way. I am not afraid of dying. I never have been, even when I was young. Only of not doing enough before I do. That way of being certainly helps to adapt, roll with the punches, get up again when you get knocked down most times.

But secondly, that very way of being taught me that even a minimum of preparation is very useful, sometimes enough to make the difference between life and death. So, in keeping with my own previously fatalistic Zen agnosticism, and presently fatalistic Catholic faith, I prepared in line with my own needs for comfortable peace. Back in my mid twenties it was by training obsessively and having a couple of guns I was very proficient with and a car. That was enough then. Now it’s quite a bit more; because I have children mostly, but, as time passes, it will increasingly become more about teaching them to be prepared, and to have faith. And for myself, my own preparations may return more and more to those of my youth, which probably are analogous to that old film: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

The point is simply that each man must determine his own level of preparedness in order to feel at peace. And more than that really. To feel a sense of laughter, of joy, of absolute, chosen, lack of fear in the face of the chaos and darkness they try to force into your mind and life every day.

Use your imagination and your laughter. Put them to use.

It’s why I wrote the RolePlaying Game about the current zombie apocalypse. I know teenagers and zoomers and millennials all have no real idea about pen and paper RPGs. It probably causes them social anxiety to just THINK of sitting around a table with 3 or 4 or more other live, in the flesh, human beings and then play a game of make-believe with them.

And that fear probably translates into them thinking it’s all just a silly thing to even try.

I know all that.

But just like my blog is —for the most part— not for the average person, neither is the concept of preparing for serious situations by playing fun games. It really is not for everyone.

Only smart people have that kind of lateral thinking approach to life.

It’s up to you to decide if it’s worth trying it out for yourself or not.

Testing polling function

So I have finally added a polling function, which I hope will make my blog a little more useful to my readers, as I will use it to try and figure out what y’all want to read more or less of.

Here is the first one. Results will be shown once you vote.

Assuming WWIII becomes partially nuclear and wipes out the largest city near you:

WWIII – The whimpering of rats

WWI was essentially engineered by the (((usual suspects))) and freemason/communist/Christ haters as essentially designed to destroy class hierarchy, and royal families since as long as they existed —thanks to Charlemagne several centuries earlier, when he essentially pushed the idea forward— royalty were deemed to have a mandate from heaven to be the leaders of nations. This, the lay strong arm of the Catholic world, along with the Catholic Church and clergy that ran it, formed a truly remarkable civilisation.

The hierarchical structure was strong, both in the Church as well as the laity, and everyone knew their place, yet was not completely inflexible, allowing for a certain mobility of rank for truly meritorious actions or ability. My own family is testament to this, having pacified a 200 year old feud they were given noble titles by the king of Sicily. All first born sons of the original gold line being marquises. And later, the splintered silver branch of the family, which had left such accolades behind to go North to Venice, distinguished themselves again in the war of Candia and were made patricians (the lowest of the noble ranks) in perpetuity.

Well, as long as such a system existed, it civilised and improved the lot of mankind.

WWI was the first massive culling of fighting age men, and designed to pit noble against commoner, in pursuit of the communist ideals (which are ultimately satanic).

The Second World War finished the job, while subjugating the entire world to the Freemasonic country that is the USA.

Before this, nations were nations, after it, every nation of Europe (and most of the rest of the world too) effectively became subsidiary companies of the USA. Don’t take my word for it. Look up what the Universal Commercial Code is for each ex-nation.

Most Americans have no idea about the roots of their country, and have been brainwashed into believing it’s all about freedom and courage and so on, even as they become increasingly unable to shift their corpulent, GMO bodies off the couch.

The reality is that not only was the USA founded on Freemasonic principles, it was done so by financing from France largely, and in such a way as to also undermine French royalty. Luis and Marie-Antoinette literally lost their heads over it. And this carried on for the next centuries too. The assassination of President Garfield being a bit of infighting between various Freemasonic factions, while that of JFK being because despite his severely degenerate lifestyle, JFK still harboured a few Catholic principles of actually trying to male the world a better, more peaceful place.

The men who fought in WWII were true believers in large part. They either fought for their homeland and way of life, or to defeat what they saw as true evil. Not all were fooled of course, but many were, and the feats of heroism on all sides were plentiful. And having such men die in large numbers was in fact one of the aims.

(((The usual suspects))) hate with a passion any man that espouses the classic virtues of Catholicism. They move through life as sneaks and deceivers and liars and fraudsters; so it’s only natural they can’t stand the types of people who are their diametric opposite.

WWIII on the other hand is being fought either by retarded as well as brainwashed ideologues (Ukrainians), deceivers with all their deception (Israel) or a mixture (pretty much everyone else) and even the brave may be brainwashed for the most part (Palestinians), though that at least is not new.

And the whole façade of war itself has greatly fallen. Pretty much everyone that can read and write and has access to the internet is aware that war is hell, and no matter whose side you are on, no one really wants war.

If this Third World War proceeds to become a hot one that really goes global, it will be the result of one of two things:

1. Nuclear detonations going off.

These would be set off by the few insane ideologues to begin with, but given that no one likes having whole cities, especially capital ones, wiped off the map, the response would also be nuclear, even if the other side was not being run by desperate pedophiles trying to cling on to the last vestiges of power. The one saving grace in this is that as a result, quite possibly, every single strand of DNA of the Satanists in charge could be wiped out in a very short time. Not only as a direct result of nuclear impacts on the geographical areas responsible for the initial launches, but later too, by the literal hunting down of every banker, politician, influencer and so on that was even remotely pro-war by the survivors. I truly do not think the Davos crowd would survive their own security details past the first few mushroom clouds, and certainly not after the last ones.

Of course, depending on the size of the conflagration, Europe as a whole might become mostly non viable, as well as large areas of Russia and the USA. Smaller countries like Japan or North Korea might disappear entirely. Large sections of Africa and some relatively large ones of South America would survive quite untouched, though the total lack of global logistics and general food production would cause further damage and starvation and death.

No one can really predict what a future after such a war might look like, but it is highly likely that the entire middle east would be a level plane of glowing glass, and that Jews as an ethnicity and religion would simply disappear entirely from the Earth. Islam would survive in some form or other due to sheer numbers, even if Mecca might have returned partially to space.

Protestantism (including the Novus Orco version of “Catholicism”) would remain in some forms as a kind of cultural mythology, and thus, be similar to what Islam might look like without Mecca.

Actual Catholics (Sedes) will continue to exist, few as they may be, and in fact, their ranks will increase fast. That, ultimately has to be the case if Catholicism is true, as I believe. And in fact the various prophecies state Catholicism would recommence and eventually take over the globe, before the final corruption and end times.

Or, of course, we might already be in the end times, in which case, the Sedes are literally the last remnant mentioned in revelation.

2. Some series of territorial disputes

The current squabbles in Gaza can and will create “opportunities” by other power hungry cretins around the globe, and it is quite likely that if the current conflict there escalates, it drags in most of the Arab world, and if America interferes with that then Russia and the satrapies of the USA (in Europe) will be dragged in too, which of course, increases the chance that it all becomes nuclear again.

If it does not, however, there will be much border shiftings. New countries that did not exist before are likely to be formed and some that do may disappear. Chaos has a way of resolving tensions one way or the other. Personally I hope it would result in the mass exodus of American military bases and their personnel from Europe and the return of those nations to actual nations. I can’t see that happening bloodlessly, but who knows, in such times miracles can occur.

Possibly those very same American bases might become centres of power of one or more of the factions that the USA is increasingly likely to split into. How that will go with the local populace will largely depend on what happens to the WEF and globohomo puppets that currently are considered the “government” of the European states. In some cases, I think revolutions may well happen. Possibly merely popular and not involving piano wire, rope and lampposts. In that case, however, it is quite likely that in such cases the new rulers are merely a different shade of American deep state butt puppet. And in the violent replacement case, it is quite likely the new rulers are power-hungry tyrants with few scruples.

Honourable men able to do massive violence were always a rarity, in all ages, and are generally remembered for it even millennia later. In general these were noble heathens (samurai come to mind) Pagans (Vikings, Spartans, Romans, but calm down, there are no pagans left) or Catholic warriors. Individuals with such qualities exist, but as an ideology, the few left are the Sedevacantist Catholics, in theory anyway, it’s not as if they have been tested in battle, and many would probably choose martyrdom. Some enclave of samurai idolising Japanese, which again, would be untested, and after that probably tribal and large familial bonds. Some rednecks in the Appalachians, a tribe of criminal gypsies somewhere or other, some Russian mobsters/oligarchs/military generals that have enough loyal men to take over and control areas they are in.

These attempts at independence will fail in many cases and be re-assimilated once the situation stabilises (assuming nuclear war is averted) but in at least a few cases, where the opportunity is seized at the correct time and pressed and consolidated in the right manner and at the right speed (usually lightning quick), as well as a replacement system introduced that serves the needs of the majority better than whatever was there before, they will succeed. And if they then take the time and effort to shore up their defences to be able to resist the forceful takeover by whatever systems of government become prominent near them, they will have effectively created a new country.

Though, as I predicted way back in 2014, I think for the most part these will begin as smallish city-states.

Conclusion

You need not fear the current warmongers. They are rat-like parasites on the back of humanity, as they have always been, and their narrative is failing all around them. And yes, they may start nuclear armageddon, but if you are under one of those mushroom clouds your problems are over, and if you are a believer you will be finally home. And if you are not, you get to possibly hunt down the perpetrators and/or found/help create an independent nation.

So be of good cheer and go spread the good news.

People who LARP at being Pagans are fake and gay

That’s all. In case you hadn’t figured this out yet.

Little People

If you are in your twenties and don’t have children, do not let the zeitgeist fostered upon you from birth deceive you into deciding not to have any.

The most difficult aspect of raising children is doing it alone or with the wrong person.

In your twenties, you are not likely to make good decisions concerning life partners unless you have an exceedingly good head on your shoulders. And yet… this year alone, I have been invited to three weddings of men and their fiancé’s all of whom are in their twenties.

They all DO have uncommonly wise heads on their shoulders. One of them I know really well having spent rime working on the farm with him, and the other two I spent a long time getting to know over skype or email. Unfortunately I could not attend any of their weddings, but two of the couples came to visit me and the third being in the USA plans to do so in die course.

Having spent years training men in various things ranging from martial arts to investigative work, I get a sense about people, and as I said, I rate each of them as “high in wisdom” if we were to reduce them to D&D characters.

They DO all have one thing in common:

They are hardcore Catholics. Sedevacantist all.

It is an important point, because a REAL belief in Catholicism means that marriage is for life. Not paid lip service to. Not “hope it works out,” but real and deep commitment. Each of these young men spent months getting to know the young women they hoped to marry, and made their decision in the full knowledge that their choice was until death do them part, and ensured their wife-to-be was also baptised, Catechised and understood what being Catholic entailed.

If you have the right person with you, the hardship of parenthood is shared and if you are not an idiot, and you pay attention to your baby son or baby daughter, you will see they are fascinating.

Each one with their own innate character.

And whatever hardship you may need to face for your children does not, in fact, feel like a hardship. It feels a bit like winning a fight or a battle. If you don’t have it in you to love another human being more than your own life, then, you absolutely should not, ever, have children.

If, on the other hand, you realise the primary purpose of marriage is to raise children, and the primary purpose of your life is to perpetuate the species, then, by all that is good, make children.

I certainly don’t regret in any way having 5 of them, and though I started late, if God so wills it, we may well have more. A family friend that is my age, though started a little earlier, has 8 of them. I do think my life has been blessed in so many ways, though you can’t see it while you’re going through gut wrenching heartache, later, you see how even this horrific moments, if they had not happened, would not have led you down other roads.

My own life path is so absurdly convoluted, and the decisions that led me down one road instead of another so seemingly arbitrary, certainly to an outsider anyway, that no sane thread could probably be imagined by most. And yet, the choices I made at any given time were the ones I always would have made, because of who I am, what I value, and what matters and what does not, to me.

Seen from that perspective, then, choices that would lead someone like me down a dark path were usually avoided by unlikely circumstances, odd coincidences, and unexpected, unmerited grace.

Even so, it took decades and drastic events to finally lead my stubborn, hard head to God and proper Catholicism.

And I look upon my children with awe.

These little people; so smart, so free and fearless and honest in their natures. And naughty and rebellious too, as all people who can amount to something invariably are.

Piglet just turned a little while back and her verbal skills are off the charts. And they were so a year ago already. As my wife put it:

“I’ll miss telling people she’s two.” Because the way she conversed even a year ago was astonishing for a two year old.

The little Viking is…quietly and far-reaching in his thoughts. He may seem like a rough and rumble little raider just waiting for his longship so he can go plunder weaker people, but his thoughts are deep and surprising. He asked me in depth about Jesus and other times about the stars in the sky and how our planet works, and he’s observant, and notices hypocrisy and nonsense in people and tells me about it. I never schooled him in any of that. He loves guns and swords, and again, I never pushed it on him. When he was barely 2 years old a couple of years ago he would pick up L-shaped sticks and say he got a gun. I wasn’t even sure where he’d seen one to know what they were.

My eldest daughter has no interest in guns but has a facility with numbers, math and technology that has already surpassed mine in many respects. The second-eldest might as well be a lawyer the way she will try to argue herself out of anything you try to rope her into, and the littlest one is already showing she has a one track mind that definitely has my DNA, since she will not hesitate or deviate from what she wants, but also the ability to be very will.

Children truly are a blessing from God. And if you see that, you will be a better father or mother. If not, less so. And if you are the kind to harm these little ones, then Jesus was absolutely right: you’d have been better being drowned in the sea. Because if God is Justice, and He is, what awaits you in the after life, as well as this one, if you meet the right kind of man, is, indeed, a Hell you cannot even begin to imagine. So tremble, so-called “elite”. Because nothing can make you escape what awaits you.
