The Ongoing WWIII Fatigue

UPDATE: Apparently Iran may have launched a missile strike on Israel. We’ll see how much this brings us closer to a hot WWIII.

UPDATE 2: If true, Iran apparently declared war on Israel. If so, the tipping point I discussed below might be reached a little sooner. And I am not sure this doesn’t have some ties to the imminent US election, even if I can’t say how, precisely.

Israel is genociding Palestinians and now starting to cleanse at least 5km of Lebanon, with absolutely zero pushback from anyone that is of any effect whatsoever.

Cocaine Dwarf in Ukiland is back page news along with the other worn out coke-whores, although Ukis are still getting turned into field fertilisers, and it looks like it’s speeding up a bit too.

And just like the rest of the world, the likelihood is that unless you are getting droned yourself, the average reaction is “meh, pass the salt; and by the way, did you notice how much salt costs today?!”

That is definitely not a good thing, but… it may be a necessary stage.

The zeitgeist is definitely shifting. It’s not yet quite visible yet, but it may be hading there. People had enough of the tranny bullshit, the LGBT-Pedo bullshit, the completely corrupt politicians at every level, the farce that is the supposed justice system, and even the most brain damaged are now starting to realise that Covid was a mass-murder attempt, because it’s finally starting to leak out even in the mainstream news, even if they bought into it and don’t want to think about it. Woke shows are bombing and losing money like a burst dam, and at least a few people are starting to say things out loud or push back against the absolutely false and retarded narratives they are trying to gaslight you with since birth.

Would anyone here trust a politician to not lie every time they speak? Or leave one of your children with any of them for 15 minutes?

And I think for every one of us who never was quiet about the lies, and now the others who are at least grumbling about them a little bit in their real life interactions, there are a 100 scared and weak rabbits just waiting to see if the momentum shifts enough to be able to join the ones that are now calling bullshit on all the nonsense.

Now, if and when that vast, mostly still silent, mass of people ever gets uncomfortable enough, what they will do at first is mild civil disobedience, and at this point the mass media will go into damage control. We have seen this quite recently in the UK where it seems to have pacified the natives to some extent, but it’s hard to say if the undercurrent is boiling over silently or not. Certainly, as far as I can tell, more and more normal people are starting to question the narratives, and sooner or later something else will spark things in their personal lives. Eventually, it is quite likely that a few or several of these individual things might become a tipping point. If and when they do, the next step will be some crowds demonstrating in the street, but we already know this will achieve absolutely nothing either. The false wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc as well as the whole Covid Mass-Murder scenario have demonstrated that in spades.

At that point, if the discontent continues to grow (as it inevitably must, because the pedovores in charge simply cannot let go of their stranglehold on the masses) there will be only three paths left:

  1. The Pedovores win, people submit en mass, they become the neutered cattle the Pedovores consider them and essentially will be little different from livestock, except with potentially worse lives, brief as they may be.
  2. The Populace tries to revert things by taking over local elections, local academia, and start to produce a legal, somewhat gradual/slow, but effective pushback, or,
  3. There is a violent revolution that involves at least some regime change, but probably not a total overhaul of the top players. The Pedovores will remain nominally in charge but slink back into the shadows and begin to immediately corrupt the new power-monger that replaced their latest puppets. In fact, some of the replacements will already be their puppets and have been financed to “win” the crowns they will adorn as the “saviours”. it would be a set-back for the Pedovores, but they are nothing if not patient. They have been working at this for literally centuries, and they will just try to move a bit slower again while adapting to whatever emerges from the ashes of the “democratic” West.

I think option 2 is the leas likely, although would be the most favourable. Especially if the people doing the take-overs are absolute zealots on things like honour, justice, truth, and… you know it, actual Catholicism.

Absent that glue of firm and genuine absolute faith in your religion, and one (the only one) that is based in actual (good) reality, your organisations will remain infiltrated. Or become it. Even the original Catholic Church was, but it took about 200 years of extremely patient and gradual subterfuge to do so. If enough actual Catholics come together, the reversal can happen in a weeks. Certainly within a year.

Imagine a block of proper Catholic voting in one way at a local election of a little village. And then removing from office any “stragglers” of the globohomo agenda. And then imagine them actually using the funds they get to improve things and isolate the liars and other nonsense even more. And it spreading to the local schools, to the local libraries, to the local sports centres, and so on.

The reversal would be very fast, because once you see through the lies and the systematic network of them… it gets hard to place that sack cloth over your head again.

So… in your individual, small, personal way, keep pushing back. keep dropping seeds. Keep exposing the absurd. Keep ridiculing the nonsense. Keep calling out the communists, pedophiles, would-be mass-murderers and their lies. Read the room and drop everything from tiny but powerful seeds to live hand-grenades in the discussions and zeitgeist of your conversations and even actions.

I don’t know a single person that has even had a hint of wish to see the complete trainwreck that is the Rings of Power on Amazon Prime for example. Not even as hate-watching fuel. It’s true what they say, it’s not even hate that shows the most contempt for something. Its indifference. And I think a lot of people have reached that.

The next step is irritation that sparks action. I hope you are there now and take those actions to transition out of Clown World into a new era of wonder and actual freedom. If not, the next step after that is likely revolution. And if it is to be revolution, it will be brutal, messy and not result in a real lasting improvement unless a spearhead of absolute zealots really do cut off the Dragon’s head and then imperiously establish a full blown Inquisition. And not a mild and weak, Lilly-livered Inquisition like the Spanish one with their 163 pedophiles executed in over a century. A proper one, where that kind of person’s DNA becomes extinct.

Time will tell which of the three options each nation and people goes for.

I sincerely hope it’s option 2, but you should all prepare in case it’s option 3.

And if it’s option 1 too. You should prepare your soul to meet your creator then. Let those who have a brain to see, use it.

One thing above all, however, remember:

We are not given to a spirit of fear.

Nec Spe, Nec Metu.

In UK as of today…

You can’t own a chicken unless you register it.

Seriously.

Although the vast majority of respondents to the consultation believed there was no need to change the existing registration requirements, Defra, Nature Scot and Natural Resources Wales have instead decided to follow responses which support these new requirements. The new registration requirements should lead to more efficient progress when carrying out the required surveillance to allow disease control zones to be lifted after an outbreak of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), and this could benefit the game industry going forwards.

And yes, this applies even to single chickens.

But trust the government. This, along with the recent “scandal” that has been exposed by various farmers that are being offered money by the government to NOT produce food, along with the raising of food prices and reduction of decent and unpolluted sources of food that are ABSENT mRNA “vaccines” is ALL for your own good.

Not about controlling you at all.

The chemtrails too. All for your own better health and freedom in the utopia that is Western Demon-cracy.

HAARP basics

I’m fairly sure most readers here are aware of HAARP, but just in case you were not…

Enjoy the collapse. Personally I am just waiting for the full Zombie Apocalypse, and getting a little tired of the wait.

Invest in a Dictionary

One of the perpetual complaints made by deceivers and ignorants alike, as well as people who apparently can’t do proper logic, concerning sedevacantism, is that they say the Church needs to have an unbroken line of Papal successors.

This is, of course, nonsense. It’s not true at all. The requirement is not that there is an unbroken line of Popes, because if that were the case, then the Church would have ended when Peter died. The requirement is that there is a perpetual line of Popes.

When one Pope dies and another is eventually elected, between the death of one Pope, and when the new Pope is elected, there is a period of time called an interregnum (Latin for in between realms).

Now, it is absolutely clear that nowhere has there ever been defined a limit for how long an interregnum can last. Read that again. There is no such rule. And in fact we have plenty of evidence that it does not matter how long it lasts. The Church has been officially without anyone on the Throne of Peter at all for almost three years at one point, and had up to three Popes claiming popehood for a period of some 40 years at other times, the resolution of which was only arrived at when Pope Gregory the XII agreed to resign too as long as it was accepted he had been the only legitimate Pope.

In short, the situation we are in today, of being in an interregnum since 9th October 1958 is perhaps unique in its detail, but is not unique in principle.

And all of this is readily understood if you simply are capable of understanding basic English; and namely, the word perpetual.

So, let’s go to the most complete dictionary of the English language ever put together, which my wife kindly gifted me for my 50th Birthday. The 13 volume set of the Oxford English Dictionary, and let’s look up the word perpetual.



Well… will you look at that… very first definition:

Lasting, or destined to last for ever; eternal, unceasing; permanent (during life).

Emphasis added. It is right there in the very first definition, that the word perpetual, while being an eternal continuation, is not necessarily an unbroken one.

What the deceivers do, and possibly those who don’t understand English very well, is confuse ONE of the possible definitions (usually relegated to the engineering field, which, ironically, also has never yet managed to actually create anything truly perpetual with the second definition found below) with the correct one. Namely definition 1 above, with definition labelled as 2. below.

Finally, there is a further, quite specific subtextual use, even in this second definition, under section C. 3.

Well, well, will you look at that.

A hereditary or heritable office.

Which is PRECISELY what the papacy is. And clearly, if it is hereditable, it means the people who inherit it replace someone who died and used to hold it. The people die, the office remains. In perpetuity. And remains empty until a VALID claimant fills it.

It really is not that difficult to understand.

Uncomfortable Facts

This video is from a news broadcast from 1981.

Now, ask yourself, what in God’s name is a CONTAINER FULL OF DEAD BABIES and baby parts that add up to an estimated 17,000 bodies doing anywhere on earth? WHO did that? And why?

Well, I have some theories, and none of them are anything other than nightmare fuel. Here is a possible reason.

And do you really think ANY of this has in any way stopped? We know it has not, because Veritas demonstrated it with amble undercover videos of people from Planned Parenthood outright admitting to selling baby parts and making a business out of it, as well as a very high up ex- personnel, detailing how they went into schools to promote sex in teenagers and the use of a very weak contraceptive pill, which would fail if it was taken even slightly late one day and so on. The purpose being to increase the number of abortions of babies. This is on record, it is not an opinion or a conspiracy theory. Look it up. Then go ahead and explain to me how ANY of it isn’t absolutely, completely, Satanic. Go on, I’ll wait.

Twin Peaks

Back in the 1980s, my brother and I tried to watch a David Lynch film called Blue Velvet. It had had weird scenography that was supposedly erotic, or just plain weird, and surrealist, but in a way that made no sense at all of any kind of plot line we could follow. I studiously avoided seeing anything else the man made and specifically avoided the Twin peaks series that started in 1990.

For whatever reason, I started to sort of watch it hoping it might bore me to sleep when I suffer from insomnia. Well… I’m about half way through the second (and last) series which means I am about two-thirds of the way through the whole things; and… I won’t be sure if it’s because of my age at the time of Blue Velvet compared to now, at least, I won’t be sure unless I try and watch Blue Velvet again, which I really don’t think I care to do, but based on Twin Peaks alone so far, I am coming to the very unexpected conclusion that David Lynch may well have been a genius after all.

The mixture of the absurd, the ridiculous, the studied theathricity of both his sets as well as the acting, the slow-pace with its unexpected twists, peppered with random quotes and occasional timeless wisdom, and the music, which somehow ties this whole apparently discordant melange together, somehow, works.

And it works in a way that might well be a truer form of narration of real life, precisely because of the surreal-absurdist elements.

It really is quite a unique style. I see now why people used to rave about him throughout the 1990s. And unless I sit through Blue Velvet again, I am not sure I’ll know if I thought quite the opposite for nearly 40 years because Blue Velvet is just a crappy film, or if it’s because I was too young to perceive certain aspects.

Here is the thing though… I have high expectations for how Twin Peaks might play out. And if it fulfils those expectations, then I will not want to risk watching Blue Velvet. Somehow, if it turns out it was bad, it would somewhat ruin Twin Peaks for me.

And as anyone who has done this as much as I have, often, it is best to leave the reality of the artist in our imagination, rather than meet him or study him too closely, and thus remove any doubt that he too is flawed in the same human ways that reduce us all to mere twisted little goblins.

In any case, so far, I really am enjoying Twin Peaks.

A Good Question

On SG, the question was asked as to essentially, “How did we get here?”

Mostly referring to usury, and how it came to be that people “chose it” over building Cathedrals. Now, to be fair, usury is, indeed, the root of a huge amount of evil in the world. In fact I can’t think of a single more important issue in how the planet has become as corrupted as it has.

And it wasn’t “chosen” so much as it was instilled by the usual methods of subterfuge, corruption, lies, underhandedness, deception, murder and force. To really grasp the levels of this you would need to study in great detail the history of the Rothschilds from their beginnings all the way to the way the Bank of International Settlement works today and what it is. As well as appreciate the multiple and absolutely world-encompassing effects of tentacles it created and controls from behind the curtain of things like The World Economic Forum, The Trilateral Commission (Rockefellers), Committee on Foreign Relations, the UN, the WHO and so on, as well as swamp creatures like the CIA and various of its projects, like the spread of “post-modernism” in all its inhuman and beauty destroying tactics.

But it all starts with usury. And it was no more “chosen” than you “choose” to eat white flour with all the toxins, poisons and vitamins in it that mean a wild rat will not actually eat it, but you, stupefied into ignorance and “education” think it’s healthy for you.

Anyone that says that usury was freely “chosen” by the average, honest person, is basically a deceiver. Much like those who pushed usury in all its forms by all means and relentlessly so.

There is a greater point on this worth making, but as a short and concise answer, I have placed below the reply I posted on SG.

The 1700s saw the real start of the organising of the forces of evil determined to destroy the Church (the Catholic Church being the only one that matters). It took them about 250 years to create:

  1. the first Freemasonic country in the world (the USA), while bankrupting France and destroying its Royal house
  2. Starting the “enlightenment” with all its “freethinkers” and mass murder of Catholics
  3. Destruction of royal houses in Europe (nobility was essentially the military/protective arm of the Church)
  4. Start WWI
  5. Force the “unification” of Italy (the home of Rome and thus the centre of Christianity)
  6. Infiltrate the Church massively with homosexuals, communists, etc.
  7. Start WWII
  8. Install a Freemason as “Pope” in 1958 and every year since then.
  9. Infect the entire planet with (((Hollywood values))) just as they had done to Weimar Germany.
    There is also some evidence the entire “reformation” (rebellion) of 1521 was orchestrated by the same (((people))). It took centuries.

The wider point is that usury (along with its other related tactics of general degradation of human dignity) works for a very simple reason.

One people don’t like to admit, but remains absolutely true:

Humans are all flawed. Because of original sin.

And all you ahistorical and illogical Protestants can gnash your teeth as much as you like, but the evidence is absolutely overwhelming and incontrovertible.

As such, an appeal to humanity’s basest instincts of greed, avarice, envy, sloth, pride, wrath and gluttony, will ALWAYS, snare a percentage of the population, no matter how religious, pious, well-meaning and orderly the original community may have been. And this is precisely why you absolutely need rules, as well as their enforcing.

And the people doing the enforcing need to be, generally, men of outstanding virtue in terms of courage, and moral character. Their leaders, at an absolute minimum, need to be married men with children, who have had first-hand experience of physical labour, (for at least 5 years) and be self-made to the point of owning some land and property that is no more than say 30% from generational wealth. I would also want them to have been involved in some physical level of confrontation for at least another 5 years, whether in a proper, hardcore martial arts class, serving in law enforcement, including things like being a bouncer (if absolutely clean of any involvement with the inevitable criminal side of that life) close protection work (as the grunt, not owner of a firm), soldier (in combat), and be honestly religious. For my culture and people at least, that means a proper Catholic (only sedevacantists of the 1958 type and non-una Mass, currently are).

The rules are required to identify those elements that would corrupt humanity, and usury, should be absolutely and completely banned eternally from any civilised society. Anyone advocating for it, or trying to perform it should, in my honest opinion, be put to death.

If a society formed to make that law number one, and enforced it absolutely, human society would flourish in a way that almost no one can even imagine. And very fast too.

For this reason, the enforcing arm of society needs to be an unusual and rare mix of wise, experienced, charitable, but also absolute when required, and using Roman Law, which is unique on Earth and works on the principle being only a guide, but each individual situation needing to be evaluated on its own merits in accordance with justice above law, and not law above justice.

There is literally no other system on Earth that ever came even remotely close to having this and creating societies cantered around such principles that Catholicism.

You can TRY and argue otherwise, but you would be just the male equivalent of the dumb onlyfans women on something like the whatever podcast, making appeals not to logic, facts, reason, and objective reality, but only your personal, solipsistic, nonsensical, selfish, hypocritical, hormonally driven rhetoric that you have been brainwashed with. Any actual measure of it done objectively places Catholicism at the top of the mountain for centuries and centuries and centuries in a row. And when compared to the present day, which as stated above took at least 250 years to degrade, and mostly since 1958, the current “liberal world order” is proving to be a dystopic descent into literal Hell on Earth.

But hey, don’t you worry. You go ahead and chomp down on that chemical burger while you binge on reality TV and CNN and let your arse keep expanding molasses-like on that couch. And don’t forget to masturbate some more to porn, so that in case you get the urge to actually get off that couch and change something in your life, you are sure to not bother after the fact.

So that’s how we got here.

And if there is any hope of getting out of it, it will be only because of men with giant, octagonal balls, made of adamantium, who will be blamed for being “oppressive and brutal”, who will not compromise their honour, faith, or objective reality as it is, in order to appease the masses.

And to a leaser extent, but still absolutely necessary, of those men who will follow them and stand with them even in the bowels of Hell, until order, peace, sanity, and God’s divine laws, are restored once more, as best we can, on this fallen Earth.

RPG livestream set in the Dirty Old West – Follow Along Information

It will happen tomorrow, Saturday 28th September, at 9pm Rome Italy time (3pm EST; 2pm CT) on my livestream.

This post will introduce the setting and situation and the player characters too. Because we plan to play for only about an hour tops, I am placing the situation here. it is assumed the characters already know each other and are familiar with the situation, so that (rural internet permitting) we should be able to just start off and get with it. Some players were a little scant on their character’s description, but these will be added when they send them in.

Each player should have his character in front of them, a pencil and eraser to keep track of things like health points, ammunition, or make general notes, and two six-sided dice to roll for various situations or task resolutions they will need to perform.

If you want a copy of the rules, it’s only £5 as a PDF and you can get your copy here and print it (31 pages).

Below, the map showing the area and below that, the situation as our heros find themselves in.

Area Map

The Player Characters

Jack O’Trady (aka Jack O’Trades)

Equipment: Shotgun +10 rounds, .45 Colt +12 rounds, knife, bedroll, satchel, $10

Height: 6’1″ Age: 28

Appearance: sandy blonde hair with a scraggly reddish beard. Twill pants with suspenders and a waist long coat with belt on the outside it that carries his sixgun, ammunition for it, knife and flint and steel kit. He is broad-shouldered and thick at the waist, sure footed.

Bio: A Catholic Irishman, not in search of gold, but freedom. He fled his motherland to escape the ravages of the English – “famine, me arse!” – after politely expressing his disagreement with a couple of the red-coated twats (in Old Testament fashion, anyway). He landed in New York, immediately headed West in search of purpose and modest work and hasn’t stopped for 6 months. Each town showing more disdain for his kind than the last. He’s a simple man, though not as dumb as most. He has a strong will for survival and a moral compass with a needle that could use tightening. 

Leroy Gray (aka The Gray Gunner)

Equipment: Winchester rifle +15 rounds, .45 Colt +30 rounds, knife, bedroll, satchel, $10, Horse (named Whiskey)

Height: 6’4″ Age: 27

Apperance: brown hair, moustache, grey overcoat (confederate style)

Bio: Leroy fancies himself a bit of a gunslinger, having survived one duel that was deemed legal but the local sheriff a couple of months earlier and he is partial to wearing the same grey coat he had on during the civil war.

James (aka Just James)

Equipment: Rifle (Winchester) +15 rounds, .45 Colt +24 rounds, knife, bedroll, saddle bags, Horse (named Strider), $10

Height: 5′ 8″ Age: 22

Appearance: beard, the build of someone who is used to riding a horse. 
Bio: born in the Shenandoah Valley and Civil War veteran (Confederate). James joined the army around the age of 16 and mustered out sometime before the official surrender at Appomattox. He had grown up around cattle but after the War, decided that rather than continue being a cowboy at home, he would try his luck out west on a ranch. 
Habits: Smokes a pipe and appreciates whiskey.  He always remembers to say his morning and evening prayers that his mother taught him. He’s an Anglican, but maybe he’ll start to think differently out west. He keeps a clean room but is forgetful on food, which is curious for a man who is in the saddle herding cattle. He can read.

Philo Jurament (NPC)

Equipment: Shotgun +50 rounds, Whinchester +50 rounds, pair of ivory handled converted Colt Dragoons to take ammunition in gun holster (right and Belt (left) +24 rounds in the belt and another 56 in his saddle bags, Tomahawk, Matches, Cigarillos, Saddle bags (with other basic equipment), Horse (named Horse) Bowie knife, bedroll, Small metal container with strong tequila in it, $10

Height: 6′ 2″ Age: 26

Appearance: Sandy-Brown hair, blue eyes, about 6’2″ he wears a sort of trapper jacket. One of his large .44 calibre six-guns on his right hip in its holster, and the other Mexican style in a front/left holster that is cut down so the gun basically looks as if it’s just held by the belt. He also has a bowie knife on the gun belt, on his left side.

Ex-Indian Scout for the Confederate army. He was raised by Apaches after being sold to them as a boy by his own alcoholic father. Generally ornery and laconic. He smokes cigarillos but only a couple a day.

The Situation

It is 1867, two years after the end of the Civil War. The small town of Silver Hole is a mining town with some small silver deposits, on the edge of the frontier. The mine is not large enough to make the town prosperous, but it nevertheless provides enough to make the place tolerable, with all the basic amenities, two hotel/saloons, a local bar, various shops, a regular stage coach that goes to snowdrift falls twice a week, passing by Fort Bellamy and Lookout point, both army outposts that keep the occasional Indian raids at bay in the general area.

Snowdrift Falls is about 400 miles by stage coach and the nearest actual town served by railway. To the North is a mountain range, the south being gradually drier and more despotic and canyon-like. The Takumseh bridge being a case in point, straddles a canyon of over a dozen metres in height and about twice that in length, in order to allow the stage coaches to cross the river on the way to Lookout point, a small army outpost that is basically an extension of Fort Bellamy, a larger and better equipped Army location.

Last night, a very strange situation took place. Emily Lightfoot, the local hat-maker, went to deliver her latest order to the farmhouse of John and Mary McMasters, but when she arrived there, a large rabid bear had broken into the farmhouse and killed some animal in it. Mary managed to run out of the house just in time for Emily to see her and get her aboard her one horse carriage. The two women rushed back to Silver Hole, abandoning John McMasters to his fate, because he had been ill with a fever upstairs.

In the morning, fearing the worst, the ladies had returned with two deputies (Jim and Bob), but when they arrived at the farmhouse, they found John still with a heavy fever upstairs, alive and otherwise unhurt. The main room of the home was half-destroyed and had a large pool of blood and blood spatter in it, where the ladies assumed the mad bear had eaten the buck they had seen it drag in. However, no part of the dead animal, or the bear, could be found. They took John back to Silver Hole in a carriage as he was delirious.

The local doctor, explained worriedly he did not have the skills to cure the man and they should immediately make for Snowdrift falls.

James, being an adept coach driver volunteered to run John to Snowdrift falls, a trip of at least three days even if one rode hard all the way. Leroy Gray also volunteered to ride shotgun in case of bandits or marauding Indians, and as Mary McMasters offered pay, so did Jack O’Trady, a recent arrival, and an irishman to boot, however he had been in town long enough for people to know aside occasionally needing a bit of “hair o’ th’ dog” in the morning, he was a good worker. As far as irishmen go anyway.

When everything was set and the men were about to set off, a young private came thundering into town to say that the Takumseh bridge had been burnt down by a band of Indians and possibly Mexican. There had been a fight with a patrol from Lookout point, and he had barely got away to this side of the bridge, before it collapsed. The route was impassable.

The local old drunk at the saloon where all this was being discussed mumbled something about the old Indian trail of Frozen Tears, that was a more direct route to snowdrift falls but had not been used by anyone in living memory as far as anyone knew. There was a number of legends that no one who tried survived it and that giants lived in the snow-capped mountains in that area. As the conversation as to what to do carried on, a man known as Philo Jurament, an Ex-Scout in the Confederate Army stood up, walked over, and said he had come to Silver Hole via that path and it was passable for a carriage. The saloon went silent as people wondered if he was just lying or if he had actually done it. The man tended to be a loner and kept to himself, he had not long been in town, and other than playing the occasional hand of poker in the saloon he didn’t mix much with the locals. Even so, Mary McMasters was desperate and offered to pay half the man’s salary on the spot, and a more generous half on the delivery of her husband to the doctors in Snowdrift falls. The man accepted and also said the trip could be done in only two days if they pushed hard, as it was only 200 miles or so by going this route. As afternoon was already fast-approaching, the men all decided to leave forthwith.

They left on a covered carriage where John was bundled into a bed in back of it, Jack rode in the back with him to ensure John was as comfortable as could be, and tending to his need for water, food and so on. James and Leroy rode up front, James driving the carriage and Leroy with his rifle across his lap. Philo out front on his grey mottled horse (which he called horse) leading the way to the path no other man had used in living memory.

They had basic equipment, bedrolls, food and water for four days journey, although they expected to be able to make it in two by keeping up a blistering pace throughout.
