“It's said that Alexander slept with Homer's 'Iliad' under his pillow. He considered the great heroes in these masterful epics to be peers, brothers, kin.. and believed himself to be of their lineage. He seemed to view their courage, competence, their feats of greatness, as a friendly challenge - and took up this challenge, with every ounce of his being. The great men of past eras who strove for glory and honor are often misunderstood, in our age, as being predominantly fueled by selfish motives. A broader picture view might suggest the polar opposite - such men rarely 'enjoyed' the decadent and hedonistic luxury and ease of life experienced by their opposite type, but instead chose lives of sporting hardship, struggle, and the active overcoming of obstacles… in exchange for leaving a lasting imprint on the fabric of reality, serving to energize and inspire and provide a living example to all who might come after. Without the living memory of heroes and great men as examples in all spheres - from the martial to the spiritual to the philosophical, and all in between - we risk normalizing and falling into mediocrity, laziness, and cowardice.. becoming a tired, dreary, unexceptional people, living for superficial pleasures, and thus doomed to be ruled by shop keeps and merchants, and the self-serving administrators and politicians they inevitably come to so control. We risk manifesting a horizon free from lofty mountains, their peaks in rarefied air reaching up to the heavens, and instead experiencing a landscape of nothing but undifferentiated flatness. Dull, uninteresting, devoid of motivating or inspirational power.. and in a very real sense, dead. Alexander was a mountain peak.. an example that nothing is impossible, to him who can simply come to know that nothing is impossible.”

“Perhaps no aspect of our history has been as broadly impactful as the degeneration of our teachers and spiritual leaders. As part of a recurring theme that continues to this day, the role/label/title these earliest high priests and sages helped imbue with such respect, admiration, power and influence, became an irresistible draw to a class of men looking for shortcuts to undeserved power and influence.. and this most important of institutions - and the all-important positions within it - thus became their foremost target. What we see in our age, as churches everywhere degenerate into an extension of 'social justice' organizations, and compromise nearly every aspect of their more ancient and fundamental doctrine to fit the poisonous Telos of modernity, might be most accurately framed as merely the final stages of this wholesale subversion. To understand the root of what seemed to once be a genuine and healthy spiritual tradition, we have to look back, examine the oldest reliable historical accounts, and peel away the layers of subterfuge, manipulation, and misunderstanding.. and recognize that our modern 'intellectuals' and 'experts' are the inheritors of this subversive culture and these subversive personalities who, completely enamored with 'sophistication' and the products of their own fallible intellects, tossed aside the notion of a creative force in the universe, and became the flawed creators and bad artists serving to so cheapen and degrade our existence - inevitably producing such confusion and suffering as by-products. From the conduits of a higher power, to masquerading as this higher power themselves.. like whited sepulchres, full of dead men's bones. I strongly believe that finding our way back to that pure and simple 'root' holds immense promise for the future - and requires us to first retrace our steps, to gain some understanding of this path of degeneration: these missteps, and this straying borne of confusion.”

“Conspiracy? Our Subverted History, Part 7.1 - The French Revolution: Blood in the Streets of Paris Part one, of two. The French Revolution (1789 - 1799) led to the destruction of both the Monarchy and the Aristocracy and high Nobility of France, and set new governing precedent in the process. Posing as an organic movement of the people, it would serve to help change the trajectory of the western world, and profoundly alter the way western mankind would view nations, governments, and leadership. Victors really do write the history books - and few instances better illustrate this concept than historical accounts of the French Revolution. Anti-hierarchical sentiments, democracy, humanism, reductionist materialism, rationalism, the modern conception of 'human rights', the term 'Republican' and concepts of 'left-wing' and 'right-wing', the guillotine - all spring from revolutionary France. Part two coming very soon.”

“I didn't like making this video - the first half, in particular - and especially disliked pausing the creation of the upcoming 'Subverted History' to do so.. still not certain it was the right decision. In a world overflowing with grift, in which everybody now seems to be selling something, to the extent that even our art and creative productions are so often a mere pretext or facade for this money-making, it feels self-serving, a distraction, not the best use of time and energy.. so, no matter what comes of this, or what the future holds, I won't be mentioning any of these issues again, come what may.. and I hope this brief interruption will be pardoned/understood. I don't pass judgment on those who actively seek out ways to monetize their work, especially if in order to make it their exclusive focus. My extreme approach to all things money is a personal one. It helps me sidestep unhelpful temptation, helps maintain complete independence of message/content, helps keep me humble, and helps me maintain a psychological state of gratitude and appreciation.. and I genuinely appreciate (and benefit from) all of these. It's just a path that works best for me. Now that this is out of the way, back to work I go... thank you, again, to all who help make it possible.”
