Bovaer is Bullshit

Perhaps the best thing to come out of the Bovaer/burping cows scandal was this Tweet by me.

The point about Bovaer is not that it may or may not be harmless and that it may or may not have a significant impact on cow methane. The point is that it is entirely unnecessary because man-made climate change is TOTALLY made up bollocks.

I like the Tweet because it’s true and succinct. But I like it even more for the reaction it got: almost everyone out of 215,000 people who saw it agreed strongly with the sentiment.

Here are some sample reactions:

Said it all in one short paragraph

Bingo! (Get this man a pint, please)

Glad someone said that

Totally unnecessary!!! Let the cows fart!

I could go on. 629 people commented, most of them positive. 4.6K were sufficiently inspired to share it. And 19K people liked it.

OK, so these aren’t Elon-Musk-level or Russell-Brand-level numbers. But unlike Musk, I do not own Twitter, and unlike Brand I’m not a closet Satanist with an eerie, Svengali-like hold over my audience. Also, unlike both of them, my reach is heavily suppressed via the algorithms. So I think, all in all, the fact that well over 200,000 people got to see my message and approve of it is jolly good going.

What this tells me is something that I’ve long hoped for but which I’ve never quite dared believe could be true. It appears we have reached the stage where no one - or at least no one with half a brain - buys into the ‘global warming’ narrative any more.

When they read a phrase as baldly unequivocal as ‘man-made climate change is TOTALLY made up bollocks’, they no longer sigh uncomfortably and murmur something rueful about ‘the polar bears’ or ‘Greenland ice sheets’ or about how they ‘can’t believe we can be pumping all that carbon into the atmosphere without making some sort of difference to climate.’

Instead, most sensible people now just nod furiously in agreement.

But obviously you’re never going to get this from the mainstream media which continues, relentlessly, to gaslight us with the message that climate scepticism is a minority activity and that people who don’t want carcinogenic, testicle-shrinking poison fed to dairy cattle in order to save the planet are just bonkers conspiracy theorists.

For example, the Daily Telegraph, formerly a newspaper, got its house, posh-named eco warrior Boudicca Fox-Leonard to pen an article explaining why the Bovaer scandal was just a storm in a teacup. It was headlined “Why British milk is churning up scary online conspiracies.”

It quoted one ‘expert’ as saying: “You can’t just add anything to the food chain without safety testing, although it appears you can claim what you like on social media.”

But the bulk of the ‘expert’ opinionating was given over to one Karen Douglas, apparently ‘a professor of social psychology at the University of Kent.’ Professor Douglas was used by Ms Fox-Leonard to help explain away all the criticisms of Bovaer and feeding additives generally as a form of mental illness.

“Psychological research suggests that people are attracted to conspiracy theories when one or more fundamental psychological needs are frustrated”, says Douglas.

What idiots we are! There were most of us foolishly imagining that the reason we’re worried about carcinogenic, testicle-shrinking poison put in cow food is that it’s a bad idea and entirely unnecessary. Whereas, it turns out, the real reason we’re worried about it is that - according to Douglas, anyway - we ‘need to feel safe and have control over things that are happening around us’ and we ‘need to maintain our self-esteem and feel positive about the groups that we belong to.’ In other words, the main reason we’re against Bovaer is that we’re just funny in the head.

But the most disappointing article I read about Bovaer, also run in the Telegraph, was by Jamie Blackett and headlined ‘Let’s not get into hysterics about climate friendly milk.’

I like Blackett very much, both as a friend and as a very talented and entertaining writer on rural affairs. As a farmer, he usually knows whereof he speaks. But in this particular article, he surrenders to the enemy without a shot fired.

The subs, I’m sure, will have written that nauseatingly propagandising headline (“Climate friendly milk”. Ugh!), and the similarly grisly standfirst (“This is an honest attempt to do what everyone wants us to do - reduce cow flatulence”). But Blackett cannot escape culpability for paragraphs like the one below.

The dairy industry has been blamed for climate change for two decades by everyone from governments to schoolchildren via Extinction Rebellion. Rightly or wrongly Britain has pledged to reduce methane by 30 per cent by 2030. This is an honest attempt to do what everyone wants us to do – reduce cow flatulence.

I think it’s the word ‘honest’ I most take issue with here. There is nothing honest about farmers feeding their livestock carcinogenic, testicle shrinking poison in order to appease bureaucrats. If he were looking for a more ‘honest’ adjective, surely a more apt one might have been ‘cowardly’, ‘craven’, ‘pusillanimous’, ‘cynical’ or ‘self-defeating’?

What I also thoroughly dispute in that paragraph is Blackett’s statement that ‘everyone’ wants farmers to ‘reduce cow flatulence.’ I find this excuse about as plausible as if he’d said ‘Big boys made us do it and then ran away.’ Not for a moment am I suggesting that there is not huge pressure from certain quarters on the farming industry to do all manner of farming-unfriendly things: put up wind-turbines; ruin the landscape with solar panels; rewilding; feed your dairy herd carcinogenic, testicle shrinking poison; etc. I just think it’s a bit of a stretch to suggest that those certain quarters represent ‘everyone.’

It’s a bit like saying ‘Everyone wants more Storm Shadow missiles shipped to Kyiv so that Zelensky can defend Ukraine’s sovereignty against Putin.’ Or ‘Everyone wants digital ID to prevent voting fraud and social injustice’. Or ‘Everyone believes more vaccines should be ready for the next pandemic.’

Sure, in each case, it’s what the mainstream media narrative might wish you to think that ‘everyone’ believes. But that’s just the mainstream media gas-lighting you again.

It goes almost without saying, by the way, that all the ‘science’ behind cow burping and methane and global warming is spurious and fabricated to suit the needs of the various vested interests pushing the climate change scam. I know this because in the several years I spent researching my book Watermelons - How Environmentalists Are Killing The Planet, Destroying The Economy, And Stealing Your Children’s Future - never once (and I do mean never once) did I encounter a single piece of hard scientific evidence supporting Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming theory. It’s junk. All of it.

And now everyone knows it’s junk. That’s why I was so delighted by the response to that Tweet of mine I cited at the beginning. Nobody (well almost nobody) is buying this nonsense any more. They’ve had it up to the teeth.

No one, apart from a tiny minority of brainwashed activists, is following the Bovaer story and going: “Well on the one hand, I can see the dangers of contaminating the food supply with experimental additives but on the other we really have to try what ever new measures we can to help save the planet from global warming.”

No. What people are saying is: “I don’t care whether or not this stuff reduces methane by however many percent. And I don’t care how many times more powerful a greenhouse gas methane is than CO2. And I don’t care that it’s only an experiment. And I don’t care if the cows are otherwise well-cared for. And I don’t care whether or not farmers are being bullied into doing this by official methane-reduction directives.

All I care about is that this whole thing is ENTIRELY unnecessary, so I don’t want even a tiny bit of this noxious crap in my milk. Got that?”

Christianity 1 New Age 0

If you haven’t already - I’m a bit behind the curve here - I urge you to watch this car crash encounter between Christian apologist and scholar Wes Huff and ‘ancient civilisation’ researcher Billy Carson.

It’s an excruciating experience - probably best to watch it on double speed - for a couple of reasons. First, the hapless podcast host/debate moderator Mark Minard is somewhat out of his depth and is also clearly embarrassed at having one of his guests (Carson, sitting right next to him) eviscerated in front of him by his other guest. This causes him to interrupt the debate at intervals and expound well-meaningly but not very interestingly on his own half-baked views on the mysteries of the universe. You feel a bit sorry for him but you do rather wish he’d shut up.

Second, and mainly, it’s painful to watch Carson being outclassed and outgunned by someone who knows and understands his purported field of expertise so much better than he does. Carson was reportedly so upset by the encounter that he ...

Mark Steyn: Climate Hero

“The world is ****ed. What practical thing can I do to make any difference?”

It’s a question we’ve all asked ourselves at one time or another. And I don’t think that the answer is one that many of us would like to hear. Let me give you an example of the kind of tenacity, courage and self-sacrifice required if you really want to take on this ineffably corrupt system.

I give you: Mark Steyn v Michael Mann.

Michael Mann - as you’ll know if you’ve read my account of the climate wars Watermelons (now available in an even punchier updated edition - https://jamesdelingpole.co.uk/Shop/Products/Watermelons-2024.html) - is the creator of probably the most overrated and fraudulent artefact in the entire global warming scam: the infamous Hockey Stick chart.

In order to scare the world into believing that catastrophic, man-made ‘climate change’ is real and that we need to act now to avert disaster, the architects of the hoax needed some kind of experty expert to come up with some plausible-looking evidence.

Enter an up-and-coming American ...

Yes. Everything Is A Conspiracy. Even Trump

‘Not everything is a conspiracy,’ people sometimes say to me, as if this were some kind of startling, original perception that had never occurred to me before.

I think what we have here is a tonal comprehension problem.

Of course, when I say that ‘everything is a conspiracy’ I don’t literally mean that ‘everything is a conspiracy.’

Horses, for example. They’re probably not a conspiracy. Nor, I don’t think, are flowers, honey, the Book of Psalms, swimming in the sea or dogs. Cats might be: I’m not so sure about them, the way that they have persuaded us to stroke them and wait on them hand and foot while they lounge around doing absolutely sod all except dragging the occasional dead bird or mouse into the house which we’re supposed to welcome as a gift.

So, yes, there are exceptions to the rule. But generally my point is well made. Everything really is a conspiracy and we need to deal with this fact rather than seek to persuade ourselves otherwise with cosy pieties that are about as helpful as clinging to your childhood comfort blanket when you’re ...

A Pox On Authority!
Douglas Murray Argued On Joe Rogan That We Should Trust The Experts. Really??

Watching - or trying to - the painful encounter between Douglas Murray and Dave Smith on the Joe Rogan show, I was reminded how much I dislike ‘debates’.

I explain why in a long-read piece I wrote a while back called ‘No I Don’t Want To Take Part In Your Stupid Debate.’

https://delingpole.substack.com/p/no-i-dont-want-to-take-part-in-your

It’s a good read. But if you haven’t time, the short version goes something like this…

Debates are the enemy of truth. They pretend that they are trying to get to the bottom of this or that important issue. But really all they tell you is which side is better at rhetorical trickery. Or which side the moderator is secretly rooting for. Or which side the audience is already biased towards. Or which side is prepared to play dirtiest. They are about as fair a way as achieving justice as trial by combat. I think debates stink.

Douglas Murray is a model debater. I certainly wouldn’t go up against him myself. But that’s because he plays to win not to make friends. To this end, he is more than happy to bring a knife to a fist fight, which is what he did on the Joe Rogan show.

Murray’s mission, it was evident from the off, was to crush - and crush utterly - his opponent, a stand-up comedian and libertarian political commentator called Dave Smith. He did so using a technique which students of rhetorical fallacy will know as ‘Argument from Indignation.’ That is, Murray’s tone throughout was a mix of lofty disdain and of but-barely-restrained righteous outrage.

Here, or something like it, was the message we got from Murray: “I cannot believe that I find myself having to engage with someone so inferior to me both morally and intellectually. But I shall endeavour - sigh - to be as polite as I possibly can under these extreme circumstances, and will do so by feigning to agree with my worm-like opponent on the occasional trivial point, in order to make him feel slightly less uncomfortable and to show everyone else how reasonable and amenable and magnanimous I am.”

Or, if you want to visualise his approach, imagine someone in a periwig, knee breeches and a gold-embroidered, Louise XIV-style silken coat stooping reluctantly to deal with a turd that his King Charles spaniel has inconsiderately left on his host’s lawn in the middle of a croquet match, there being no staff immediately available to remove it.

It’s a devastatingly effective technique because it puts your opponent instantly on the back foot. Rather than being treated as an equal addressing in good faith a different but valid point of view your opponent is represented as someone whose position is so ugly and reprehensible or so ignorant and incoherent - or both - that it barely deserves the courtesy of consideration. In this instance, rather than being given space to make his case, Dave Smith had to defend himself against the imputations that, first, as a mere comedian he simply wasn’t qualified to be talking about grown up subjects like history and politics and that second, he was dangerously close to being an anti-Semite, a Holocaust denier and a fan of Adolf Hitler/Vladimir Putin/Evil generally.

When you see someone whose opinions you dislike being given this brutal treatment it’s quite tempting to join the lynch mob and cheer on their destruction. But in this case, I felt that Dave Smith was making some perfectly reasonable points and that he deserved a more generous hearing.

I especially agreed with Smith on the subject of ‘experts.’ Murray’s argument appeared to be that we should defer to them on almost every occasion. For example, on the subject of Winston Churchill he declared that we should listen to professionals like ‘his current greatest living biographer’ Andrew Roberts and not to ‘guys [who] are not historians’ like Darryl Cooper. Also, in Murray’s view, we shouldn’t listen to ‘very, very discredited’ historians like David Irving.

But what if the people Murray is insisting are the go-to experts have got it wrong? What if Ukraine and Gaza expert Murray is wrong about Ukraine and Gaza? What if Churchill expert Andrew Roberts has got it wrong about Churchill? It has been known to happen before, experts getting stuff wrong - as eminent (and no doubt ‘expert’) historian Lord Dacre once famously demonstrated when he verified as genuine the fake Hitler diaries.

I’ve experienced this ‘experts being wrong’ phenomenon on one or two occasions myself. Climate change, for example. After spending about ten years looking into the subject, I came to the conclusion that all the award-winning expert climate scientists are a bunch of bullshitting liars, cheats and shills. It’s not that they are a teeny bit wrong about man-made climate change here and there. They are totally wrong about it in every last detail. The whole thing is a hoax - and a very expensive and destructive one at that. For more details, you can read the book I wrote on the subject, now available in an updated edition.

Then, of course, we had another handy example of the ‘experts being wrong’ phenomenon in the form of the Covid vaccine. Or, as I prefer fondly to call it, the Death Jab. I remember well the period when it came out, because all the ‘experts’ - from my doctor to the Chief Medical Officer on TV to the vaccine manufacturers - were telling me, quite persistently, that I had to take it. Apparently it was ‘safe and effective’. It offered a high degree of protection against this deadly disease doing the rounds called ‘Covid’. And not to take it was an act of selfishness which might endanger the life of every granny in the neighbourhood and which by rights ought to render me liable for incarceration in an isolation camp, or which at the very least ought to prevent me from being allowed to go on holiday - or shopping or anywhere else.

Bizarrely, despite my not being at all an expert in either epidemiology or vaccinology, I somehow knew enough to resist all these blandishments and decide that the ‘experts’ were all wrong. I refused to take the jab. So did one or two other ignorant chancers who, merely on the basis of stuff they’d read or heard on the internet from people who sometimes weren’t even doctors. You’ll never guess what happened to us. Yes, that’s right. We all contracted this novel, Chinese-bioweapons-lab-generated disease called Covid and died hideously shortly afterwards, blood bubbling out of our mouths as we gasped our last desperate words “If only I’d listened to the exp…arrggh”.

No, I jest. What actually happened is that, despite having pointedly ignored the experts, we all ended up not getting any of the following conditions: myocarditis; blood clots; turbo cancer; reproductive issues; heart attacks; sudden death. If only the same could be said of the people who trusted the experts and did take the jabs. Sadly that isn’t the case. Some developed conditions that more or less ruined their lives. Others simply dropped dead, suddenly and unexpectedly. And those who were lucky enough to have escaped apparently unscathed must now live with the possibility that this could change at any moment, for the long term consequences of these expert-approved, safe and effective jabs remain as yet unknown.

Some unkind souls have suggested that people who took the vaccine have only themselves to blame. I disagree. We are culturally programmed to trust the ‘experts’ whether it’s the gent in the tweed jacket on Antiques Roadshow evaluating that cracked vase great-great-great-Uncle Jack brought back from the Sack of the Summer Palace, or the diet guru on breakfast TV telling us how much kale we should eat or the doctor telling us how cancerous that lump is. It takes a real effort of will to resist our ingrained inclination to go along with whatever plausible-sounding prescription we’re being sold by the people we assume know better than us. Especially when, as during Covid, you’re simultaneously being subjected to all manner of psychological warfare techniques to nudge you in the right direction.

What the authorities did to us during Covid was so horrifying that I’m not sure many of us have yet really come to terms with it. Perhaps most of us never will because to do so would involve accepting the almost unimaginable: that governments in every country in the world participated in a co-ordinated experiment designed to weaken, impoverish, immiserate, divide, maim and kill their populace under the risibly inappropriate pretext of ‘public health.’ And the reason they got away with it, in large part, was because of the misplaced faith so many of us have in those experts to whom my old friend Douglas - against all evidence - insists we should continue to defer.

Was The Resurrection Another Psyop?
Or: How You Can Be Sure That Christianity Is The Real Deal

I’ll put you immediately out of your misery. No. I do not for one moment believe the Resurrection was a psyop.

The only reason I posed the question was to respond to a series of essays by Agent131711 “Was Jesus’ Crucifixion a Hoax?’ whose clickbait-y title, as you see, I have shamelessly plagiarised.

https://substack.com/redirect/6690d3eb-2304-448e-8790-587ac6047707?j=eyJ1IjoiaDcyMTEifQ.E_Kz2BSV4qxXhteDOVQUQz_GOcfnaqP7CkzRLYmx1Gc

I’m a big fan of Agent131711’s work. His deep-dive essay series into subjects ranging from dinosaurs and chemtrails to the Pulse nightclub and Uvalde shootings, plague doctors, musical frequencies, EVERGREEN and vitamin supplements are always extraordinarily well researched, lavishly illustrated and highly readable.

Indeed, wearing my conspiracy theorist’s tinfoil titfer for a moment, I find him so on the money on so many topics, and so detailed and prolific in his output, that I wonder how he can possibly be the one-man operation he claims to be. No one could be that good on their own surely? And how did he get to be quite so good? Where does he acquire such high level information? Could it be that he is a Cabal insider - or a cabal of Cabal insiders? Might he be a gatekeeper? Limited Hangout? A trap of some kind?

Or am I just being paranoid? (And slightly envious: he’s one of the few Awake bloggers whose posts I consider absolutely essential reading).

His ‘Was Jesus’ Crucifixion a Hoax?’ series has, as you might expect, caused quite a stir among his readers. The Agent (as I shall now call him, so as to avoid having to retype all those digits) claims to have been raised in a fervently Catholic household and never to have questioned the Bible because ‘questioning it is something essentially forbidden in the Catholic faith.’ But now he has decided to subject Christianity to the same scrutiny he has applied to all his other conspiracy theory topics.

Here is his pitch:

So let’s say, hypothetically speaking, they misled us entirely on religion and, because we are dealing with very wicked people, they even misled us on what, or who, God is, if anything. Let’s say, hypothetically, Christianity is just another cult - a very powerful, very profitable cult, but nonetheless a cult, which, as cults are, was invented for no purpose other than control. What if it is just another way to take our time and money and steer us away from the truth while putting us into lifelong categories - sects - which require us to preach the teachings, recruit new followers and avoid and condemn our fellow man who doesn’t share our specific beliefs? What if this is just another plan to divide and conquer? What if, by misleading us, we can never reach a higher level (whatever that may be) because we spent our worldly lives believing in a talking snake, God appearing as a burning bush, Jonah living in a whale, the Nile river turning to blood, getting water from rocks, the fiery pits of Hell and arguing over what the mark of the beast is? What if?

I then thought to myself, “Being that Jesus was a real person, I should research this just like I would with any other topic and see what I can find”, so I decided to look into how Christianity actually came to be. I’m not referring to what the Bible tells us, I mean verifiable research… and it opened a massive can of worms…

These questions are, of course, nothing new in Awake circles. If I received a widow’s mite every time I read someone claiming that we are living in a matrix/we were created by space aliens called the Annunaki/the Old Testament God is actually Satan/Jesus Christ was an Ascended Master and a great teacher but just one mighty prophet among many/we are all mini-Gods and our true goal is to achieve Christ consciousness/the Bible is a Jewish conspiracy/the Bible is a Roman conspiracy/all religions are just a control mechanism/we invented all that scripture stuff because we couldn’t cope with the fact that we’re all going to die/are there any I’ve missed? then I’d be as rich as Joseph of Arimathea.

As a Christian, I don’t feel threatened by these narratives. This is partly because I don’t find them intellectually persuasive, nor do I find their sources - see this piece I did on David Icke, for example - very credible. And partly because I believe God quite deliberately arranged the path to Christian understanding to be fraught with difficulty. He doesn’t simply drop Christianity into your lap and make it such a no-brainer that’s impossible not to be a Christian. You have to earn your stripes, partly, yes, through a process of study, sifting of evidence and rational deduction - but partly through something much more nebulous, anti-rational and mysterious: the development of your personal faith.

That is, you can’t just bone up on your scripture, check that it all correlates with the historical records, and then say to yourself: “Right, that’s it. I’ve finished my homework. Job done. Christianity definitely stands up in the same way that ‘We didn’t go to the Moon’ stands up.”

Nor can you go through the same process and conclude: “Wait? What?? There are so many inconsistencies that no way does Christianity pass the test of rational scrutiny.” Well, I suppose you can because that’s effectively what Agent131711 has just gone and done in his latest essay series. What I mean is that this process is not nearly conclusive as The Agent seems to be implying it is.

One flaw in his process was neatly summed up in the comments below one of his articles. Annoyingly I can’t find it - perhaps someone else can kindly help me - but it went something like this: “If they can so quickly hide the evidence of what happened at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida in 2016, how can you be surprised at the lack of documentary evidence for something that happened in the Middle East nearly 2000 years earlier?” So when I read The Agent saying “there is literally no documentation anywhere of Jesus, his miracles, his beef with the Jews or anything at all, until many years after his death”, I’m not muttering to myself: “Well that’s Christianity done then.” Rather, I’m thinking: “Hang on a second, The Agent. You’re kind of loading the dice here. Also, maybe even worse than that, for a supposed King of Conspiracy Theorists you’re actually coming across like a complete Normie.”

As I’ve often been wont to say on my podcasts - because it’s true - Christianity is the greatest of all the rabbit holes. That’s because, besides all the official stuff you’re taught at Sunday school or in scripture classes or you hear from your Normie vicar/pastor/priest/preacher whoever, there’s loads more complicated, fascinating background detail which you only learn about when you start digging beneath the surface. I don’t mean stuff like: “Wow! Jesus is actually an hallucinogenic mushroom.” I mean details like variations in translations and differing text sources; about non-canonical sources like the Book(s) of Enoch; and historical, geographical and socio-political contexts that aren’t necessarily mentioned specifically in the Bible but which can add much to our understanding of it.

A good example of this is the identity of the Edomites - and what became of them. And their relationship to Talmudic Judaism. Not to mention the history of the Church generally - and that of the various political factions which sought to twist Christianity to their own advantage. My point is that in the 2000 years since Christ’s Crucifixion and Resurrection, a number of very powerful vested interests have been doing their damnedest to obscure the truth of Christ’s message and bury as much as possible of the physical evidence backing it up. They might well have destroyed manuscripts, including corroboratory documents from non-Christian sources; we know certainly that they have infiltrated and corrupted the translation process, whether in the form of the early Hebrew scholars who coined the unBiblical word “Jew” or in that of the liner notes to the Schofield Bible. Oh, and of course, they gulled a lot of people into believing that the Turin Shroud had been carbon-dated and it was definitely a Medieval fake. Which it wasn’t.

If you take your scripture seriously, which I do, then of course it’s no surprise that there are so many earthly, faux-scholarly reasons out there for doubting the truth of Christianity. Whether you prefer to identify the enemy as the Devil, or Lucifer, or the ‘Seed of the Serpent’, or the seed of the Nephilim, or the ‘rulers of the darkness of this world’, it all amounts to the same thing: there are powerful forces of evil abroad whose most cherished mission is to confound God and all His works. It follows, inevitably, that one of the main objects of their Satanic interference will be anything pertaining to Christianity, whether it’s texts, or the ecclesiastical hierarchy or the background culture which supports (or, as currently, mocks and diminishes) Christianity.

The world is run by evil people whose power largely depends on keeping us from the truth. All Awake people know this so it seems to me somewhat odd that The Agent should be surprised that these evil people should have given the cover-up treatment to something as antithetical to their interests as Christianity. But maybe part of his difficulties lie in his Catholic upbringing, which appears to have so put him off from contemplating the numinous that he is only capable of understanding and explaining the world in earthly terms. This is fine as far as it goes: The Agent is brilliant, almost unrivalled, at explaining the mechanism of the various conspiracies. But I don’t think he has ever taken the supernatural element as seriously as it should be.

That is, the reason that the people behind these conspiracies do stuff like drink the blood of children is not simply that they’re a bunch of sick, jaded perverts: it’s a form of Satanic sacrament. It keeps them young, yes; it’s a useful form of kompromat for controlling their fellows also; but most importantly, it’s an act of affiliation with and reverence for the creature they consider to be their boss. These people are the spiritual heirs of all those child-sacrificing tribes that, in the Old Testament, God is continually urging the Children of Israel to destroy. In return for this display of loyalty, the various evil entities that - with God’s permission - have been granted a degree of power and autonomy on earth lavish rewards on their servants: money, power, sexual conquest, the ability to ensnare, seduce, deceive and crush. The people who engage in occult practices don’t do it just because if they get lucky they might bump into Madonna at Kabbala class or because they like the robes and pointy hats or because they’ve seen Harry Potter. They do it because, as has been known from the beginning of the Babylonian mystery religions, dark magic works and gets you what you want.

The opposite of this dark magic is the holiness offered by Christianity. (Which, by the way, the bad guys who run the world loathe more viscerally and persecute more ruthlessly than any of the other supposedly viable alternative religions: why is that do you think?) The best observation I’ve ever heard on the difference between these two forms of supernatural power - one bad, one good - was in the conversation I had a while back with Nathan Reynolds. Reynolds was born into one of the Illuminati bloodline families, was sexually abused from an early age and trained up to be an assassin.

https://www.patreon.com/posts/118209251/

Reynolds described to me some of the rewards you get in return for serving the forces of darkness. He was granted ‘a power beyond anything most people could ever comprehend is real…I’m saying like dynamite explosive power, power that makes you superhuman.’ But the price you pay for this ‘quick-fix’ solution to your earthly desires is eternal damnation, not to mention endless nightmares.

When he renounced all this, repented of his sins and became a Christian, he got to experience the other side of the equation for the first time. ‘One side will offer you instant gratification but the other is going to offer you a life of suffering, but the development of righteousness in its end that will make you an amazing leader and a capable individual.’

Yup. That’s Christianity. It’s not the path you choose if you want a new Ferrari. Or if you want to shag lots of women who aren’t your wife. Or you want to get to the top of your business, whatever the cost. It’s a slow burn thing; a tempering process designed to make you better and stronger by putting you to the test. Which doesn’t on the surface make it sound quite as sexy and fun as the bling lifestyle offered to dutiful servants of Satan. But then, that’s partly the result of living in a culture which has been overwhelmed by the values of Satan - a culture which all the movies, all the TV shows, all the pop songs, all the stuff you’re being showed on social media make you feel like you’re missing out if you’re not getting more instant money, more instant thrills, more instant sex with more partners of indeterminate gender. One of the things Christianity does is help you see past all that Satanic cultural conditioning and to understand the world as it is and life as it ought to be lived, so that you are no longer under the spell of Satan’s deception.

But the secret of Christianity that really doesn’t get talked about often enough, perhaps because Christians are coy about it, or perhaps because our Satanically controlled information outlets - the media, publishing, the entertainment industry, etc - take great care to keep the secret suppressed, is that Christians get perks too. Sometimes, these take the form of what my friend Laura Brett, on our podcast about Psalm 63, calls ‘God winks.’

A ‘God Wink’ is when God gives you a little treat to show you that he loves you or to tell you that you’re on the right path or to reassure you that your faith is not without foundation. Often Christians experience this in the early stages of their faith when they randomly open the Bible and discover that whatever text they see first offers extraordinarily relevant advice to their problem of the moment. (Cue one or two puritanical comments on the evils of ‘divination’. Yes. I know). The comedian and self-described ‘soldier of God’ Alistair Williams experienced a more spectacular God wink when - as he recalls on one of our podcasts together - he urgently needed £3000 he didn’t have to pay a tax bill. That same day, out of the blue, he received a cheque from a fellow Christian whom he’d never met with a note saying: “I’ve been told you need this.”

Later, as their faith matures, and through prayer and meditation (and fasting, ideally) they gain a deeper understand of God’s plans for them, they gain a powerful sense of purpose - almost to the point where, as Christ enjoins in Matthew’s gospel, “Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself”, they cease to worry about the future because they know that God has got it covered.

Then, of course, if they feel called to take it all the way they can achieve the sanctity of a St Francis of Assisi or of Elder Paisios, the monk on Mount Athos, whose holiness was such that he could work miracles. On the subject of the latter, I can highly recommend a book calledThe Gurus, the Young Man and Elder Paisios, the 2008 memoir of a young Greek man who decided to put ‘religion’ to the test by comparing his experiences on the Holy Mountain with his time spent among various gurus in India. The author, Dionysios Farasiotis, recalls a number of instances where Elder Paisios healed the sick (even of supposedly terminal illness), drove out demons and was able to describe in great detail places he had never been to, even to the point of being able to give directions.

It’s part of the Satanic cultural shift against Christianity that where once the lives of the saints were a source of inspiration to God-fearing folk we now mostly consider them as a superstitious myth to be scoffed at. I don’t doubt that this undermining goes back a long way. Even in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales (1387 to 1400), you find a character called the Pardoner, who makes his living out of selling pigs bones which he claims were the bones of departed saints.

Anyway, I’ve gone on quite long enough.

Now I’ll give you the TL;DR.

Here are the two main reasons for my conviction that Christianity is not just another religion and not just a con trick but the real deal. Neither has anything to do with the kind of evidence The Agent seems to consider important.

  • The evil people who run the world take it seriously and treat it as their greatest threat, confirming what the Bible tells us about the fate of the ungodly. I think we can take it as read that people so powerful and with such access to so many secrets know what the deal is.

  • God makes His presence known to Christians all the time. He answers prayers. He even performs the occasional miracle. All Christians should know this. If you don’t then you’re not - yet - doing it right.

Putin's Critics Are Hateful. But That Still Doesn't Mean He's a Goodie.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Vladimir Putin turned out to be the saviour of Western civilisation?

It would be worth it just to see the expression on the faces of… well, pretty much everyone really: the jabbed; all those idiots (but I repeat myself) who put up blue and yellow flags on their Twitter profiles and even on the walls of their homes, like the pillock in the village next door to me; the chickenhawk politicians; Victoria Nuland and the rest of the Khazarian Mafia, the newspaper columnists who’ve spent the last five years churning out articles with headlines like “When will the West wake up to the new Hitler on our doorstep?”

What I haven’t yet worked out in this imaginary scenario is what exactly Putin would have to do to prove himself as Western civilisation’s saviour.

One option I’ve been considering is a Third World War - a nice, short one, where not too many people die and Putin wins, maybe with the help of President Xi, but he turns out to be really magnanimous in victory. Obviously all the losing world leaders - Starmer, Macron, Carney, Trump too sadly (sorry Trump fans) etc - get sent to the Gulag to fight in a hut over fish bones. Then Putin announces: “Look people, I hate the New World Order as much as you do. I’m going to give you all your countries back just so long as you abolish government, disband all your standing armies, take down every last solar panel and wind turbine, defund the NHS (or similar), nix fluoride, chemtrails and vaccination, put God at the centre of your lives and preserve fox hunting.”

But perhaps that option is a bit unrealistic, which is why I’ve also been working on a more modest Option B. In this one Putin says: “Hey Awake people, you are dead right. All your leaders are Godless paedophiles; your compatriots are such incorrigible NPCs they even told themselves they enjoyed Adolescence; and the decline of your countries is so far advanced that there is nothing even I, the mighty Vlad, can do to help. So here’s the best I can offer: I’m going to save you a nice area of Russia, maybe the Crimea because the climate’s quite benign and there are some pretty seaside bits, and you can come and live there with all your Awake friends and I’ll leave you alone to grow organic vegetables, ride ponies from the Steppes, and worship in these pretty little onion-domed churches we have.”

If I’m frank with you, though, I don’t see either scenario coming to fruition any time soon. Nor any more subtle and plausible variants thereon.

That’s because, regretfully, I just don’t believe that in real life Putin is quite as wonderful and Our Guy as one or two of us dissenting, tinfoil hat types have cracked him up to be. In fact, I think he could be just as bad as the Rest of Them.

Yes, I know. I know. Annoying isn’t it? Which of us hasn’t, at one time or another, projected our Great White Hope of Western Civilisation fantasies on to Vladimir Putin? I certainly have been guilty of this on a number of occasions.

One was during the 2014 Winter Olympics which, you may remember, all the world’s Wokerati boycotted because apparently Putin was ‘homophobic.’ I felt such a rush of solidarity with Vlad that I was tempted to book the next flight out to Sochi. It’s not that I’ve anything particularly against the gays; just that it was so refreshing seeing a world leader not playing the Diversity Equity and Inclusion card. Anyway, it turned out, if you bothered to read the small print, that Putin hadn’t done anything particularly shocking. Well, not in my book. He’d signed a law prohibiting ‘the propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations to minors’, which to my mind sounds pretty sensible; the sort of thing, actually, that you’d quite pleased about if your government introduced it to your own country.

Another occasion, obviously, was during the fake ‘Covid’ ‘pandemic’. While the West (Australia, New Zealand and Canada) seemed to have just one question on its collective lips - “What would Stalin have done?” - Russia, insofar as one could judge from the reports on social media, sounded like a model of sweet reasonableness and restraint. No compulsory vaccinations; no mask tyranny; relative freedom of movement; and - apparently, and it’s important to stress the ‘apparently’ here because a lot of this stuff was hearsay - the Sputnik vaccine the Russkies introduced was so relatively harmless compared to those kill-shots being pushed by Pfizer, Moderna, et al that if you ever found yourself in a position where you had to take the vaccine, to keep your job, fly for a vital holiday in Ibiza, or whatever, this would be the one to take. Allegedly.

But the biggest event of the lot, the one that really had many of us Awake types rallying to the Putin cause was the Ukraine ‘Special military operation.’ In all the newspapers we didn’t read and the TV news bulletins we didn’t watch it was, of course, being billed as a totally unprovoked ‘war’ or an ‘invasion’. We, however, knew better because we followed the reports of the late-lamented war correspondent Gonzalo Lira. Or because we listened to podcasts like this one I did with Swiss intelligence officer with Jacques Baud. You can read the edited version of that podcast here. Essentially, Baud provided the context so sorely lacking from all the hysterical ‘Putin is the new Hitler’ nonsense being pushed relentlessly in the Western media. He pointed out, for example, that the ‘war’ had really been provoked by the West with the Soros-backed colour revolution in 2014 when the democratically elected, pro-Russian president of Ukraine was ousted and replaced by a pro-Western puppet…

Perhaps it would be pushing it to say that many of us became Putin fanbois at this point. But I think quite a few of us found him marginally preferable to the monstrously corrupt, hypocritical scumbags pretending to represent the supposedly superior values of ‘Western liberal democracy’; and especially preferable to the cokehead in the khaki t-shirt, whose only known skill was an ability to play the piano with his penis, and who kept being hailed in our media as some kind of hero to whom we should be happy to send more of our hard earned cash in order that he should buy more SS paraphernalia for the Azov Brigade and more cattle prods for the Ukrainian version of the Gestapo (the unit that eventually finished off Gonzalo Lira), the SBU.

Anyway, if similar thoughts to any of the above have ever crossed your mind, you might find it a useful corrective to listen to my recent podcast with Rurik Skywalker,author of the Slavland Chronicles. Rurik Skywalker - not his real name, obviously - was born in the Ukraine and offers the kind of insider perspective on that part of the world which we Western Awake types rarely encounter because so much of our attention is usually focussed on how gobsmackingly messed up our own countries are. His position, in a nutshell: the grass is not always greener.

He could be wrong, of course. We’re all subject to our own biases and prejudices, after all. But a lot of what he says about Putin aligns with some of the things I learned last year on my trip to Moldova at a gathering of alternative thinkers hosted by the Moldovan dissident Iurie Roșca. Roșca, who has since had to flee his country to avoid prison, is a former politician whose career was stymied because he refused to ally himself either with the pro-Russia or the pro-Western factions in Chișinău. His view is that the two sides are as bad as each other. Putin, he told me, may occasionally say the sort of things that red-pilled people in the West like to hear - on the importance of Christianity, say, or the ridiculousness of climate change - but this is just posturing. In reality, Roșca said, Putin is just another stooge of the New World Order and has no independence. Little has changed in terms of ‘who really runs Russia?’, Roșca explained, since the Bolshevik Revolution.

Which is more or less the view of Skywalker, except that he argues the faction now in charge is Trotskyite. This has been the case since the era of Yuri Andropov, the former KGB man who led the Soviet Union in the early 80s and oversaw its transition to what Skywalker calls ‘the Spook State.’ You probably thought the Oligarchs were all just gangsters but it’s worse than that, says Skywalker. They are all ex-KGB men.

As, of course, is Putin himself. He was headhunted for the role by Henry Kissinger; as a child he was tutored in the Torah by a local rabbi, was the only alleged non-Jew in his judo club (whose members have since become hugely rich and powerful) and has written he considers himself ‘aspirationally Jewish’, none of which may delight those who want to claim him as the champion of a global Christian revival. But, adds Skywalker, it’s impossible to know which bits of his biography you can trust because all ex-KGB men have their backgrounds scrubbed.

There’s lots more stuff in this vein, including a fascinating digression on Chernobyl which Skywalker believes to have been faked. Yes, that much-praised dramatised TV version on HBO was the purest propaganda. The heroic divers, for example, who supposedly went on a suicide mission into the heart of the doomed reactor didn’t actually die - and some are still alive today. As for the Ukraine/Russia conflict: we shouldn’t believe anything either side tells us. What it really is, says Skywalker, is a kind of turf war among competing gangsters. Oh - and no, it’s an utter nonsense to claim that Russia’s enforcement behaviour during the fake Covid pandemic was any less illiberal than that in the West.

Quite how one independently verifies any of this, I do not know. Think of the effort the Western intelligence agencies put into posting misinformation and disinformation, even to the point of noodling about on social media and infiltrating the comments sections of humble, and - you’d think - utterly inconsequential essays like this one. Now ask yourself this: is the KGB - or its current incarnation the FSB - likely to be any less assiduous in this game of deception?

When trying to assess the truth amid so many conflicting reports I find it helpful to go back to first principles. That is, you start by asking yourself what you definitely know to be true. And extrapolate from there. We know, for example, that the Bolshevik Revolution was essentially a Cabal project. We know that in the West, the CIA, MI5, Mossad, etc act as enforcers and intelligence services for the Cabal. We can surely infer from this a few reasonable conclusions. One is that the Cabal was as deeply involved in the deconstruction and reinvention of the Soviet Union as it was in the initial creation of it. Another is that the KGB/FSB is as much an agent of the Cabal as the Western intelligence services. Another is that Putin, being an ex-KGB man, could by no possible stretch of the imagination be a good guy. Ditto the Oligarchs. Ergo, the theory among certain Awake types that Russia remains some kind of Helm’s Deep - a bastion of anti-woke, anti-WEF, pro-family, pro-Christian values - to which we can all flee when the West finally collapses strikes me as a bit of an implausibility,

If you want a more optimistic take on Russia, I commend to you the various fascinating podcasts I’ve done with Alex Krainer (for the financial perspective), Vanessa Beeley (for the Middle East angle), Eva Bartlett (who lives in Russia has reported from the front line of the Russia/Ukraine conflict) and Tom Luongo (for more financial perspective). [You’ll find them all archived at JamesDelingpole.co.co.uk.] I hope they’re right and I’m wrong: that Russia and Putin really are an alternative to the New World Order and not just a vodka-flavoured variation on it. But if you want my opinion, I don’t believe any leader anywhere in the world is going to get us out of this mess we’re in. If they had either the desire or the ability to rock the boat they would never have been allowed so far up the ladder.

I still can’t stand blue and yellow flags, though. And I do miss Gonzalo Lira’s podcasts. And I do think the world’s greatest novelists are all Russian. Just in case any of that makes you feel any better…
