The Crusades and investing in Silver
A couple of videos I wanted to share with you guys.
The first is an excellent video about the Crusades, from a Historian whose YouTube channel focusses entirely on the Crusades.
You’ll often hear the Atheistkultist go on about how the Crusades prove that religion is violent, and it needs to be eliminated… unlike Atheist regimes like Pol Pot, for instance (Holodomor? Never heard of it!). It seems that Atheistkult is utterly unable to distinguish one ideology from another; believing in anything is bad, they say, and all ideologies are equally damning. So they believe in the John Lennon “Imagine” anti-ideology, committing slow suicide through small-n nihilism, completely failing to realize that the broad-spectrum antibiotic they took, purging them of beliefs, only allowed weirder, less-known memes to seep into their soft little skulls…
But I digress.
The Crusades were not an example of Christendom being racist and violent (or whatever they’re claiming now): they were a justified response to Muslim aggression, which very well could have been an existential threat to Europe! I’ll let the video speak for itself; after watching, be sure to check out the rest of his channel, as he goes into many of the details about what life was like back then.
It’s always good to know where you came from.

The next is part one of a series “The Hidden Secrets of Money”; most of you are probably aware of the major points being made in this, but there’s still quite a bit of excellence which you probably hadn’t heard of already. For instance, we all know that the US is printing money like there’s no tomorrow (which all goes back to the Petro Dollar and Iran), but did you know that every other country is doing the same bloody thing? Here in Canada we like to pretend that we’re going to be immune to the US’s hyper-inflation… we won’t. Modern currencies are tied together, basically, and the entire Western world is following the US down the road of insanity. H/T to Captain Capitalism for turning me on to this great site.

On Mike Maloney’s video, I completely agree that on a personal level owning physical gold and silver is one of the best financial decisions you can make. Despite that fact though I am skeptical of a gold backed currency the issue is not what type of money a government uses but who controls the supply of that money. If monetary power is concentrated in one form it just makes it easier for the banking cartel to take control of it and hence usurp the sovereignty of a nation. Here’s a really interesting video I found that puts it in perspective: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVoAwcyEWWI&list=PLwdNapYhBY2OrLyQRz28XGN1ejoaHciTW&index=17
Feminist: “GTA V doesn’t depict any main characters as women. This is an inequality in the proportion of men and women. Ergo sexist.”
Cogent realist: “95% + of criminals are men. This story is just reflecting the reality that the probability of a women actually taking on this role is exceedingly low”
Feminist: “So what! Gender roles must be smashed! Cultural representations dictate the roles we take! Therefore action must be taken to go against the grain and equally represent women in those roles that they are unrepresented in.”
Cogent Realist: “95% + of criminals are men. This is an inequality in the proportion of men and women. Ergo sexist. Gender roles must be smashed. Cultural representations dictate the roles we take. Therefore action must be taken to go against the grain and equally represent women in those roles that they are unrepresented in.”
Feminist: “But that’s justified!”
Cogent Realist: “Why?”
Feminist (If she/it were honest): “Because I don’t want equality there. My reasoning before was merely a means to advance an ideology which benefits me and puts me and my side above you and yours. It is designed to advance my social agenda, not be intellectually honest or consistent.)
Feminist (actual reply): “MISOGYNIST!!!”
“So they believe in the John Lennon “Imagine” anti-ideology..”
I am an atheist. At Catholic school when this came out. It was played at school functions. I thought the nuns running the school were the biggest idiots for allowing this to be played in the school.
NAAALT lolzzlolzzlolzz
Even if the Christian God is myth, its a damn good myth. What else has driven men to fight, explore, and build like Christ Himself?
