So I took a little break over the past few weeks. I needed to find a little clarity after a couple of events that occurred in my life. I needed to figure out what I wanted to do here with this Substack. I found myself becoming one of the people that I used to make fun of, the people that added fuel to the fire by chasing the latest hot story. I used to despise those people and I started to realize that I was quickly becoming one. My wife also kindly told me that I sounded pessimistic. That really is not me. The Great Ron Paul challenges the system with optimism and faith in the individual. I want to emulate him. I started really focusing on one of Jordan Peterson’s rules: Get your house in order before you criticize the world. So I did that. I refocused on what mattered around me. I focused on things that I needed to do to make myself a better person. I needed to find Order in the Chaos by taking a step back for a second. I also realized that by avoiding the traps myself, I could take a break and read some good books and do some work that I needed to do in my own life. I centered myself around three things: strengthening my relationship with God, being a better father and husband, and I got to work on all aspects in my own life. This rule is truly is about humility on the surface but after a peeled back the first layer, I realized it was like an onion. If I cannot get my own things in order, why criticize things around me. I tied up loose ends here and there and seriously focused on working on myself. That was the first layer. The second layer went much deeper.
Coming off the purge of news for about six weeks, I realized that I did not miss much. There were some minor tales about the importance of the Speaker of the House (posturing at the very least to humble the mainstream Republicans temporarily), an apparent spy balloon (yeah right like it is 1910 and the best the Chinese could do was develop a balloon), some more problems with the Ukraine War-which might as well be called what it is, an embarrasment for the U.S.
I also found myself realizing that when all institutions in this country have failed. I have an optimistic take on this because I know it is inevitable, but I still do not necessarily know how to play against it. Jordan Peterson helped me when I quit drinking a long time ago. His politics are not always the best takes in the world, but who am I to truly judge the man who helped me when I needed some guidance. Plus he is also a Classical Liberal from Canada. I have applied a lot of his rules to my life and I have also taken up one of his things that he knows to be true, and that is that the truth is always redemptive. I found this to be tested to its core over the past couple of years and it held up for me. I have picked at it from several angles and it has held up with whatever I can throw at it. I have taken a hammer to it and it has completely survived and maybe even got stronger. It might not have held up in the way that I had thought that it would, but the truth is always redemptive.
To back up my point here, I will tell a little tale. My wife and I are blessed with a daughter. She is smart as a whip, tempestuous, assertive as her Yaya, and all-around one of life’s amazing blessings. She has recently asked me to teach her all about the presidents of the U.S. I have gladly indulged this curiousity. I have completely ripped apart nearly all of the famous Presidents in U.S. History. I have a disdain for government by Executive and I have made strong cases (I will also do this here with some solid sources if you want to do the same). I have tailored this to a seven year old, but when you are a seven-maybe all the time actually- you want to know Good or Evil. My view of the presidents is very different than most people’s views. I view them as Professor Brion McClanahan does, and that is how did they uphold their Oath of Office. This basically flips every ranking of the U.S. Presidents upside down. I have also tried to tell her that this information, while historically sound, will be at odds with whatever she is taught in school throughout her life. Make a case that Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and pretty much every president that followed Wilson are bad while arguing that John Tyler, Monroe, and Grover Cleveland are great and you will find yourself arguing all of the time(I promise that I will elaborate on all of these in upcoming articles). Was this a burden that I wanted to place on my seven year old daughter?
I thought about this for quite some time. I thought maybe this discredited that the truth was always redemptive. I thought that this meant that it was challenged to the core because how could the truth be redemptive if it meant a tough life for a seven year old? How is that redemptive? I found that after reflection, this still holds. If the truth is only the truth to those who seek it out in the empire of lies, it is still the truth. The truth sets you free, but it also means that you will be at odds against the masses. It frees you of having to lie. It frees you from the burden of spreading the falsehoods that we are taught. I understand that governments need to create uniformity in their people’s minds. I understand that deeply. I also knew this from an early age that they do this through history. I have always been a bit of a contrarian by blood. My kid seems to be following her father in this matter. What is it that makes us want to lie to fit in? It is the same mechanism that the ones who create the stories to begin with. We want to believe that we are a part of something much bigger than just ourselves. This group identity has been instilled into us from an early age. It is the human need of connection. Where there is strength in numbers and it feels good to be accepted. Even if these bonds are forged through false pretenses, it is natural to believe that whatever you are taught by authority is correct when you are young. Is their redemption in the bliss of ignorance? I do not think so. If it were true, than the truth was not redemptive. Lies would be redemptive. I realized that by accepting that the truth made a life of hardship, it did not mean that it was not redemptive. The redemption came from realizing that this was the truth. I realized that it was my job to teach her what I knew. It was also my job to teach her that everything in history is full of nuance.
If you believe that history is written by the victors, the Myth of Lincoln, was truly vital to the Empire that followed his winning of the war. I knew that this was a pivotal moment in not only U.S. History but Western Civilization. It meant that the U.S. broke free of the bonds of the Constitution. This is important to realizing that the U.S. was doomed. If you cannot speak the truth about this pivotal event, what is the point of reading history? It would just become a lie that we tell ourselves even when all you have to do is read what Lincoln said to prove everything wrong. With this in mind, I was faced with two options really:
The Imperial President was created when Lincoln invaded the South. It was vital to the Empire that the myth be spread. I could have taken the easy way out and lied to my kid. She could go through school getting A’s in classes by spreading the lies that Lincoln freed the slaves. The South was racist. The war was to end slavery. Lincoln was the best President in history and he saved the Union.
Or
I tell my kid what I knew and make sure that she knew what she was up against.
I thought about this for a while. I realized that what I was going to do was not just set her up for a difficult life of taking on virtually everyone else in perpetuity, but I was making sure that she knew that the truth was always redemptive. It was a different iteration of the same conundrum that we face every single day of our lives. What do we do in the face of the inevitable demise of the U.S.? Do we sit back and watch the fall of every single institution in our lives or do we do something about it? Over the past several years we have seen everything that our ancestors fought for go up in flames. We watched the Constitution get gutted to a few clauses and the 14th Amendment. We watched our votes not count or depending on if you were voting for the right guy or not get counted multiple times. We watched our dollar get inflated to nothing. We watched the family unit get destroyed. We watched our own states turn on us during Covid. We lost all faith in Western Medicine. We watched Christianity completely collapse. We watched as the entertainment industry, both sports and Hollywood, try to brainwash us. We watched both political parties reveal that they were really just two sides of the same monster. We watched our media turn into nothing but propaganda. We watched our militay go Woke. What is education in the U.S. at this point? I am not certain that any institution has stood the test of time in the U.S. Is it not strange to realize that you have more in common with what Putin is saying than the “selected leaders” of the U.S.?
According to American experts themselves, as a result of wars – I want to draw attention to this: we did not come up with these figures, the Americans themselves give them – as a result of the wars that the United States unleashed after 2001, almost 900 000 people died, more than 38 million became refugees . Now they just want to erase all this from the memory of mankind, they pretend that nothing happened. But no one in the world has forgotten and will not forget this.
None of them consider human casualties and tragedies, because, of course, trillions and trillions of dollars are at stake; the ability to continue to rob everyone; under the guise of words about democracy and freedoms, to spread neoliberal and inherently totalitarian values; hang labels on entire countries and peoples, publicly insult their leaders; suppress dissent in their own countries; creating the image of an enemy, diverting people’s attention from corruption scandals – after all, all this does not leave the screens, we see it all – from the growing internal economic, social, interethnic problems and contradictions.

Look at what they are doing with their own peoples: the destruction of the family, cultural and national identity, perversion, abuse of children, up to pedophilia, are declared the norm, the norm of their life, and clergy, priests are forced to bless same-sex marriages. God bless them, let them do what they want. What do you want to say here? Adults have the right to live as they want, we have treated this in Russia and will always treat it this way: no one intrudes into private life, and we are not going to do it.
But I want to tell them: but look, excuse me, the sacred scriptures, the main books of all other world religions. Everything is said there, including that the family is the union of a man and a woman, but these sacred texts are now being questioned. The Anglican Church, for example, has been reported to be planning—planning, though only just yet—to explore the idea of a gender-neutral god. What can you say? God forgive me, they don’t know what they’re doing.
Millions of people in the West understand that they are being led to a real spiritual catastrophe. The elites, frankly, are just going crazy, and it seems that there is no cure. But these are their problems, as I said, and we are obliged to protect our children, and we will do it: we will protect our children from degradation and degeneration.
Why does this sound like something you would want to hear in today’s age? I’ll probably get flagged for quoting the guy, but there is that pesky thing about the truth again.
There is only one institution that has stood the test of time in the West, that is the individual. That is how we win this battle. After they gutted the states, this was the most important institution. That is why they are constantly ttacking it now. We prepare ourselves and our families for the hardships that we will face in the ashes of the old U.S. That is how we restore not only our institutions, but we beat those who are hoping to replace the current Leviathan State with an even worse beast, the one world government. We win by getting our house in order. We stop criticizing the outside world almost entirely. Pay attention to what is coming, but you need to work on getting your house in order. This is the equivalent to building your Ark. This is the device that saves you when the inevitable Flood comes for the West. Prepare for what is coming our way. Speak the truth. It is redemptive. Teach your kids the truth and if you cannot, reprogram them when they come back from their indoctrination camps. Those are your kids, not the State’s. These are our homes. Stop looking to the players in the system to save us. Regain our independence by making sure “our House” is in order. Nobody can fix it except for you. Stop being robbed of our liberties and working on things ourselves by even caring who is running for office. If the vote is not stolen, they will install complete puppets. Even in Texas, the state is compromised by Abbott and Phelan. My local Mayor also owns a real estate development company. I’m sure there is nothing to see there.
Take back your independence by getting your house in order. Build your Ark. Speak the truth while we still can. Teach your kids because they are yours and they do not belong to the State. Fight them by removing yourself from the system. Robert E. Lee once said that without the virtue of the people the Consitution was meaningless. Let’s work on becoming the type of people that our Founding Fathers designed the Constitution for. Remember that when we are falling for the current distraction that is meant to keep us divided. Get your own house in order before you criticize the world and speak the truth (or at least don’t lie).
