Phoenix
We didn't start the fire
It was always burning, since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No, we didn't light it, but we tried to fight it
Hemingway, Eichmann, "Stranger in a Strange Land"
Dylan, Berlin, Bay of Pigs invasion
"Lawrence of Arabia", British Beatlemania
Ole Miss, John Glenn, Liston beats Patterson
Pope Paul, Malcolm X, British politician sex
JFK – blown away, what else do I have to say?
~ Billy Joel, We Didn’t Start the Fire, 1989
If this essay is to have a theme song, it is “We Didn’t Start the Fire” by Billy Joel. Not mandatory.
The fire is coming. It didn’t have to be this way, but a great many choices were taken. The Venetian cardinal who was chosen to become ‘the Pope of 1960’ refused to consecrate the country of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary because he wanted to have Russian Orthodox bishops attend his perfidious “Second Vatican” council. His political goals were more important to him and to the evil vicious thugs who have run Venice since their families fled the sack of Rome in the Fifth Century than obedience to God. There are consequences for disobedience, and if you look at the state of the Roman Catholic church today, with its funds being used to protect pederast priests and the current occupant of the Vatican’s highest position, Bergoglio, endorsing demon worship and blessing homosexuality, you can see some of the first of those consequences. Those who financially operate the wealth and power of the Vatican are evil, and a reckoning comes.
The European Union is the successor in interest to the militaristic German political and Gnostic heresy of 1933-1945. It runs the same cartels. Some of the same major German corporations were given let and permit to continue making their genocide chemicals and their war weapons.
The People’s Republic of China is the successor in interest to the Soviet Union. It is going through yet another cultural revolution because free market economics motivates people to want to have individual liberty. And the other way around, too. Individual liberty motivates people to want free market economics.
The demon worshippers who occupy the District of Corruption, what my friend Skip the Free Rifleman calls “Mordor on the Potomac” are the successors in interest to the demon worshippers who swore a blood oath at the Philadelphia convention of 1787 and crafted a plantation slavery for Americans. It took over 200 years, but they laid their foundation carefully and implemented their plans slowly.
There are no good international organisations. They are all corrupt. There are no good “non-governmental” organisations (NGOs). They are all sell-outs to the effete billionaire class. There are precious few billionaires and none of them are sticking up for freedom. (If you think the abomination of X-Twitter is a bastion of free speech you are badly uninformed.) Elon Musk is eager for the imposition of carbon taxes because he hates humanity and wants to enslave mankind. He is, after all, the world’s single greatest beneficiary of tax funds - a corporate welfare queen writ large.
A fire is coming. I have difficulty with this topic because the fire is going to devastate a great deal. I have difficulty with this topic because the souls whose lives are going to be wiped out have troubled me for a very long time, because I agreed to speak for them. I have difficulty with this topic because I have stood on the watch tower and blown the horn, in obedience to God’s commandments in Ezekiel 33. The sword cometh. A reckoning approaches. I have difficulty with this topic because it didn’t have to be this way, and because I would like to preserve some measure of the knowledge and technologies we have today so that the rebuilding is not so terribly slow. I have difficulty with this topic because a very few, a tremendously few people are interested in these topics. You, my friend, are a rare breed. You are tremendous, you are few, and you are precious. Not to mention precocious.
City of Phoenix
There are quite a few of these, did you know? Seven different states in the USA have a city named, Phoenix. My favourite is here in Oregon. I was in the one in Arizona in 1987 when I met Aleta Jackson, Greg Barr, Keith Henson, and G. Harry Stine of the L5 Society who were instrumental in inspiring some of my work in the years since.
One of the interesting places named after the phoenix of mythology is “La Fenice” opera house in Venice Italy. For weird reasons, where “weird” refers to an Anglo Saxon concept of fated or spiritual, when I had read about the opera house in Venice burning to the ground, I began to contemplate the sound “ix” as in “nickson” and “nixon.” One of the substacks I read from time to time is
written by Elizabeth Nickson, whose name reminds me of Richard Milhous Nixon who was one of the cia-chosen figureheads who pretended to be elected president in 1968 and 1972.Then in a moment of clarity the name “Fenice” and the name “Venice” came to mind. Of course, the Italians say “Venezia” and they pronounce it as an American might say “ven-ett-zee-uh” if we were so inclined. Sure, it is named for the “Veneto” people or something, and their name is derivative of Venus and venereal diseases. On the other hand, it seems to be no small coincidence of terminology that there is one letter “F” versus “V” between the Italian word for phoenix, fenice, and the English word for Venice. I have long suspected that the Venetian nobility of whom
has written quite a bit are the direct successors of the families of the Roman emperors who liked to torture and murder Christians for the last 400 years of their empire. In which case they might see “Venice” as a “Fenice” or phoenix, from which Rome would eventually rise again. See also Venezuela.Fire in a crowded cinema
A fire is coming. A reckoning comes. I am not able to stop it. And, given the thoroughgoing evil being perpetrated by the demon worshippers, the millions of children stolen off the streets of the world to be tortured and enslaved every single year for the last decades, the wars, the genocides, and the plots of the effete self-styled elitists to enslave mankind, I’m not for further delay. The time is coming and is nearly here.
I am a collapsitarian. I believe that a collapse is coming. It will certainly include a collapse of the banks in the United States and Europe, and that collapse is richly deserved (pun intended). It will most likely include a collapse of major world currencies. It is certainly going to include a collapse of the empire of the USA feral (wild, uncontrolled) gooferment. I do not have to lift a finger to accelerate any aspect of things, and I have not and will not, because I am not an accelerationist in these matters.
What should you do? I’ve tried to explain. Build a local group in your community and your county or region. Put together a search and rescue team with people you know. There are going to be a lot of people for whom to search, and quite a bit of rescue needed. Work with people you know and trust to keep what you can from being destroyed.
In French there is a phrase, “sauve qui peut.” It means “save yourselves.” It is transliterated a word at a time “save who one can.” Peut is the third person singular of pouvoir or “to be able to” or “can.” I can (je peux), you can “tu peux,” he can “il peut.” Yes, “he” is the generic pronoun for French, English, and any number of languages, get over yourselves woke wookies.
The events of Isaiah 30:25-26 are coming to pass. The day of destruction when the towers fall. The light of the sun shall be sevenfold. No man knows the day and hour, not even the Son. Only the Father. A reckoning comes.
Knowing what you know now, would you pray that it not happen? Knowing the plans of the effete to vaxxajab bioweapons and neuralink external command and control tools and slave collar every human being, would you ask God to let them go ahead? Knowing the plans of the illumi-naughty to slaughter all but 500 million people would you ask God to let it happen? I would not. I do not consent to the genocide of 7 billion. I do not consent to the enslavement of the remnant.
A reckoning comes. And mankind, like the phoenix of myth, legend, and fantasy, will arise again from the ashes. God has promised, in Malachi 4, “ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts.”
So be of good cheer. A reckoning comes.
That’s all I’ve got for today. Come back next time when I have something new. Or old.

Having completed over a decade in writing 16 books containing significant yet rarely-if-ever published concepts in instrument and power electronics, I am in a quandary as to how to disseminate it. Perhaps you have given me a hint of an answer. I published in 1990 with Academic Press my book on Analog Circuit Design, and have now reworked and enlarged it into 3 (or 5, depending on what is counted) books as a third edition. I have talked with at least one publisher but traditional publishing seems to me to be going the way of the blacksmith in a world of word processing, print-on-demand, and self-publishing. Perhaps I should simply keep making PDF copies available to a select few for now.
What do you, Jim, or others of this select readership recommend? What I need most is a safe repository for the books themselves, for a better posterity.
how is that boer book coming?
