Welcome to The Blog of the Kurgan

Personally I stopped watching any news or reading newspapers completely back in 2008.

I had started it as a month long experiment to depollute my brain. Never looked back. Now if I catch a headline or something by chance, it generally makes me spontaneously laugh.

And yes, yes, evolution as most assume Darwin had it is nonsense, so think of it as epigenetics then, but the meme works.

You know who has pretty much zero?

Most of Africa.

In case anyone doubted that Victor Orban has it right when he says the West is now populated by vapid egomaniacs.

The boy’s dog had just died.

Note what matters to this human locust.

With apologies to actual locusts

And in the gay freemason Milo too.

He posted this:

Which is typical of him. Pretend to be suffering through Bergoglio’s daily Satanry while still accepting his as Pope, because Gay Freemason Milo is oh so pious.

Riiiight.

Here’s the detail though:

While Catherine of Siena is indeed a canonised Saint, and in fact, together with Francis of Assisi is also patron Saint of Italy, she was declared a doctor of the Church by fake Pope Montini.

Now, don’t get me wrong, far be it from me to criticise a lady that was an infinitely better Catholic than I will ever be, however, Saint though she is, and an important one, she was most assuredly not a doctor of the Church. Why? Because anything and everything that a fake, impostor Pope does is null and void and never to be considered legitimate.

The upshot of this, is that even if Catherine of Siena did say such words, they obviously were not sound doctrine, or indeed doctrine of any sort. It was, in all likelihood, a hyperbolic statement made to counter some criticism of a Pope during her lifetime.

And even if not, it remains not doctrine of any kind, as actual doctors of the Church, common sense, and Catholic dogma make all perfectly clear.

So what Milo is trying to do here is what Freemason impostor, fake Catholics always do, they appeal to your charity, your forgiving nature, your piousness, in order to use it as leverage to somehow legitimise that pedophile protector, gay and fake Satanist, Bergoglio; as though he were Pope.

He isn’t. Never was. Never will be. Just like Ratzinger wasn’t or Wotjla, or Lucani, or Montini, or Roncalli. Fake Popes one and all.

So, pray for Catherine of Siena, and ask for her prayers for you too, but fee free to ignore that nonsensical and toxic sentence they allege she said. It’s patent nonsense and goes against Church dogma, reality, common sense, and the Bible.

After all, Milo is getting desperate for relevance, his followers keep dropping, and he now posts mostly about his cat. In time, she may well be found feasting on his bloated corpse when he eventually croaks, alone and irrelevant.

I have copied this from a post someone made on FB.

After being shocked by how deeply and ubiquitously Catholic the ancient Christians were in 2017, I finally became willing to hear out the Catholic Church I had despised my entire life, and take the deep dive.

What I found is that the Church had consistently read the Bible more deeply, more comprehensively, and more consistently than anything I had ever encountered in Protestantism. I also saw that Her teachings had been consistently misrepresented and slandered by most Protestants I had ever known, heard of, or read my entire life.

When I finally began to be willing to SIMPLY LISTEN to the Catholic Church, and give it the benefit of the doubt, questions I had my whole life were finally answered. Inconsistencies in Scripture I could never explain—no matter how much Luther, Calvin, or other Protestant theologians I read—suddenly made glorious sense.

I began to experience this profound biblical wisdom as a merely curious Protestant, not a convictional Catholic. But it was overwhelming.

This was hard. It was extremely time-consuming. It cost me literally tens of thousands of dollars in books—many of which I’ve read, and some of which I continue to work on. It’s really quite true to compare Catholic and Protestant theology with two incompatible sets of software. I simply never realized how much my Protestant software had blinded me to seeing so many things. That software had to be unwound, and rewired in many ways. I had to be willing to have a lifetime of assumptions and opinions blown to smithereens. But once I was, it was beautifully reconstructed by the teaching of the Church and Her saints.

What the Church taught not only made far more sense, but it was far more beautiful than anything I’d ever encountered in Protestantism. The Gospel was so much richer. It made so much more theological, moral, and historical sense. And in many ways, it was actually far simpler, and less convoluted.

On top of that, it was incredibly consistent in its essence from century to century. In 2017, when I began reading the Fathers, I was SHOCKED at how different their faith was from mine, beginning with the disciples of the Apostles themselves.

Now in 2023, with years of reading their writings under my belt, I’m shocked—and even more, profoundly GRATEFUL—that their faith is now my own. I can read virtually everything they wrote with little or no qualification. It is the same faith—the Catholic Faith. It was an incredible relief to find this safe and pleasant harbor after so many years in Protestantism, where debates about the meaning of Scripture could be resolved by no one, and we only had two options: water down the faith to accommodate the conflicting opinions; or form yet another schism.

The Catholic Church presented me a radical solution: Herself. As some utopia? No, far from it. I’ve often heard Protestants act as if the Catholic claim is that everyone is always nice, obedient, and orderly in the Church. That’s absurd, and that is never what I thought. There have been many chaotic periods in Church history. We’re in one. There have been very wicked bishops, and even Popes.

But when the dust settled, in every century, the promises of Christ to remain with, protect, and guide His Church into all truth—IN SPITE of human sin—were consistently vindicated. There’s nothing like it in history. The Catholic Church remained fundamentally the same: the flock under the successors of the Apostles in communion with the successor of Peter. Simple, public, and known to the whole world, both friend and foe, century after century, and now millennia after millennia.

I’ve loved the Bible since I was a little boy. But since becoming Catholic, I have never loved it more. Its riches are never-ending. The Bible has never come alive, nor been so thrilling to study, as since I humbled myself before the apostolic authority of Christ’s Catholic Church.

I’m so excited to share this story, and the wonders I found, in the ensuing months and years. I’m so grateful.

What Victor Orban said in his interview (see last post) is really the main dividing line between what I would consider to be the enemy (knowingly or not) and those that could either be allies or at least well-marked enemies that are probably fine just being in their own space with a nice big wall between us.

That is, the ego-driven on one side, and those driven by concepts more important to them than themselves, be it God, family, nation or a mixture of those.

The difference between these two sides is that regardless of the words, supposed reasons, theoretical ideologies that the ego-driven spout, including how they try to couch everything in their apparent need to “help” others, be they rapefugees, leprous murderers, abandoned and trafficked children (which would likely not have been, absent their international meddling) starving locusts, or whatever else, the reality is that these people are doing what they do because ultimately they want to be the centre of attention. It’s all about them. Their “victimhood” (by proxy when not directly), their drama, them, them, them.

So in that respect, once you recognise their core value (me, me, me, I, I, I) they really are a monolithic horde of zombies. And like zombies they will cause harm and damage in multiple ways, but ultimately it all boils down to them wanting to eat (destroy) you, by whatever means they can.

The other side is more akin to a bunch of disparate nomadic tribes. Some will be about God first (and then which God?) but these are relatively few, regardless of religion. Most, remember, even if “believers”, are unwilling to die for their supposed religious beliefs. And those that are willing can usually include a smaller percentage of what may be called the unhinged (suicide bombers, super fundamentalist “baptists”, etc). That said, true believers, even if opposing religions, like Islam and Catholicism, can at least live fairly decently as neighbouring nations, as long as each side is uncompromising in their intolerance. Of the other within their borders. Should Europe become suddenly properly Catholic again, no mosques or synagogues or temples to Buddha should remain, and those of those heathen religions would have to sojourn here as polite guests or suffer the consequences; just as a Catholic in Saudi Arabia would need to do.

In practical terms this means that one side is a monolithic wave of enemies, while the other side is a bunch of disparate smaller tribes that work with each other only incidentally. Those whose primary purpose is their own family are unlikely to make long-lasting alliances with anyone else that are of a very strong character, and so on.

I realised a perhaps even simpler divide between people, long ago, those who strive for, look for, and love, the truth, reality, objective facts, and those who do not.

It is no surprise that those who do not, at their core, have another interest: themselves.

Invariably, the preference of a lie over the truth is tied to their belief in some personal reason or gain that they expect or perceive either is, or will be, theirs. In short, they are the same ego-driven zombies.

The main complaint that “right wingers” never band together like the “lefties” do, is simply an unintelligent observation. Firstly it has nothing to do with left-right politics. In fact, though either side might tout some political ideology, the reality is that the real divide is composed of two parameters, and really only these:

1. Their respective ability to be able to perceive objective reality, and,

2. Their ability or desire to align with reality versus their need to satisfy their own ego.

Those with a high ability in 1 that choose ego in 2 are knowing and intentional deceivers, tyrants, narcissists and so on, essentially evil people.

Those with a low ability in 1 are the most numerous of all, and made largely unable by the education policies, entertainment choices, and general news media perpetrated on us by the evil ones that are, mostly at the helm of all politics, all legal systems, all entertainment and all news media.

Of that large crowd, those who choose ego do so largely unconsciously. A few might wake up when suitably rude shocks from reality happen to them, but even then, they will be mostly shell-shocked, and unable to be of much use to themselves or others.

The remainder, who, despite being unable to see reality as it is very well, nevertheless put other things above their ego are for the most part deceived, and usually suffering, (mostly) innocents. I do feel sorry for them, more so than the unconscious zombies, but in general terms they are NPCs. Villagers that you, as a noble warrior are ultimately wanting to protect, but they are generally not much help. They may be personally helpful, but may also be personally unhelpful. Either way, they are not going to be of much use other than when you have already achieved enough for them to become a critical mass behind you that helps by sheer weight of numbers.

Lastly, we have what I hope is a decent percentage of the readers here, those with a high ability to perceive reality, who also choose things higher and more important than their ego. These could be labelled as at least potentially, the good guys.

The problem is that all human beings are in some degree of error, so none of us perceives reality exactly as it is. We all, indeed, see through a glass darkly, and yet, we should also not let this detail get in the way of our convictions; at least not until we see through a glass slightly less dark.

So, while I was assured and confident in my beliefs even when not a Catholic, I can say with some certainty that I was able, even then, to associate with people of an honest character, because regardless of their beliefs, and how wrong they may have appeared to me, they clearly valued truth above lies. Honesty above ego. And that was enough for me to consider them people I could work or fight alongside of.

Which is not to say you need to compromise your own beliefs at all.

I went from a generally Zen Agnostic, practical person to a hardcore Catholic (sedevacantist) somewhat less “practical” (from the perspective of my old self) and more centred internally than I have ever been.

Which, in real terms, is, even by my old perspective, an improvement, because my internal centre was extremely solid even then. Since I acted in concert with what I perceived was reality and the truth to the best of my ability, without much ego at all involved, I was always solid internally. My newfound additional information about reality has absolutely increased my objective perception of that reality and hence of ultimate truth. In short, I see through a glass far less dark than I did before, and as such, my internal centre has only increased in strength and solidity. I was a rock before, but now I’m a mountain.

And while my personal “tribe” of Sedevacantists might not be a huge one, they are, without a doubt, the most solid people I have yet met.

And given my and their ability to see things as they are, while on one side we are less tolerant of the lies and their perpetrators, we also are far more charitable of those who are perhaps less capable of that perception, but still striving for truth. And as such, the alliances we can form are many, all while remaining totally immovable in our core.

In short, try to see reality as it is. Let the truth be your guide, not your ego, but rather, increase your ability to do logic and reason, so that you may better evaluate facts and events, and let that guide your search for truth. As long as the truth matters to you more than your ego, you’re on the right path, and eventually, if you seek it, you will find it.

Take a look at this clip from Bombast’s body language ghost YT channel. The whole thing is really good, so I suggest you watch all 18 minutes, but if you only want the pivotal point, then start at 14:02.

In his interview with Tucker Carlson, Victor Orban is asked why he is not so well-liked in the USA. He had first explained that the war in Ukraine cannot be won by the West and that the main difference between the West and Russia is that the West says freedom is important (they lie, of course, keeping themselves in power at your and my expense is what matters to the parasitic pedovores in power) while Russians believe keeping their country together is the top priority, with freedom being a secondary or even lower issue.

This initial point, earlier in the interview, is also a key one to grasp, not only in order to understand Russia, but to understand reality.

I have often said that I really like Russian culture, because it is probably the one I most think deals with reality as it is, not as any wishful thinking might wish it to be.

And the reality is that if you actually begin to understand reality itself, what its rules and laws and truths are, you become immediately aware that your own ego, is almost entirely a noxious and negative thing. That your selfish obsession with your happiness, feelings, erroneous ideas unhinged from reality, and so on, are in fact getting in the way of your life having any real worthwhile meaning.

And when your life has no real worthwhile meaning, guess what? Paradoxically you are NOT happy, you DON’T feel good, and you become more and more demanding with diminishing returns.

The way Orban explains it, in the last few minutes of this interview, is entirely correct. And he does so very politely indeed.

The bit where he says “And maybe in your country too, but certainly in Europe…” made me laugh. The problem is a probably a couple of orders of magnitude worse in the USA of course.

But in essence it is this, and this is the real war between peoples going on:

On one side, you have those people who think their ego is the most important point of all.

Me. Me, me, me! I, me, I, I, I!

On the other side you have people who believe they are NOT the most important thing. They value other things above themselves. Among which: God, family, nation, tribe, even friends.

So I ask you two questions; between these two types of people:

1. Who would you rather have as a neighbour?

2. Who would you rather be?

That’s him with the long hair in the middle left of the photograph.

He’d started training like an obsessed man (a family trait) at age 19, and by the time I was 2 or 3 years old and he was 24-25 he was a third dan and teaching. This was not a normal trajectory, but a rather accelerated one that the traditional Japanese teachers of his dojo in the early 1970s allowed only for men that had a natural aptitude or talent and uncommon dedication.

When I went to visit his old teacher in my early 20s, I took a taxi to get there, and, as Italian taxi drivers are want to do, had started a conversation about why I was going to this well-known dojo in Turin. I explained about my dad having trained and taught there some 20 years earlier but having since moved to Africa. The taxi driver exclaimed: “Africa? But wait… is your name Filotto?”

When I said yes, this guy, who had never set foot in a karate dojo in his life, began to tell me how he definitely recalled the stories about this Filotto guy, who had achieved a kind of quasi-myth status by then.

My father is definitely an interesting guy, who has had a life so adventurous and weird that if they made a film of it, most would think it was an exaggeration. In reality, the film would likely have to have some true scenes omitted, because they would seem too absurd for real life. But, as anyone that has actually lived life, truth, is invariably stranger than fiction.

If you want an excellent read that is hilarious, interesting and true (and yes there are some things he left a little bit out of the story either for decency, legality or incredulity of readers, but that I know all too well), you can find his most excellent book about his life, here.
