Ordinary Seaman, Original Sinner.

Zero Nets, after Net Zero. In many ways, I am dismissive of people classed as ‘conspiracy theorists’ on the internet these days, not because they make preposterous claims. In fact, they’ve been right on nearly everything in the past two or three years, from Epstein to Covid, and after watching The Northman, probably Nicole Kidman […]

Mastery and Knowledge

What good is knowledge if we don’t apply it? For the righteous falls seven times and rises again, but the wicked stumble in times of calamity. Proverbs 24:16 ESV The sting of failure cuts like a whetted knife. The butterflies in your stomach turn to fear, then to rage, then to disbelief. Dizziness. What does […]

Revelations of Easter

Alright, so I have had as many problems with the God-squad as the rest of us in the West. Paedo priests, woke churches, kumbaya nonsense, appeasers of corrupt governments, logical contradictions, unprovable claims, etc. Yet(!), after two years of pseudo-one-world-governance and stay-at-home orders in the UK, I can’t help but feel the absence of our […]

Are You Evil Enough to See?

‘The individual is so handicapped, by coming face-to-face, with a conspiracy so monstrous, he cannot believe it exists.’ – J. Edgar Hoover, 1956. The question we always get asked, as people who think there is more going on, is: ‘Why would they do that’? The biggest problem with the truther/conspiracy theory brigade, apart from being […]

Underground Chickens and the Worrier Class

It was 0630 in the morning, still morning twilight. The glow of the promised sunrise still lesser than the monochromatic red lamps on the ship’s bridge, providing dim silhouettes to work by. The four piercing digital beeping noises, hurriedly pressed into the keypad let me know the captain was coming to the bridge early, and […]

Observing Evil

Mandated medical procedures, psychopaths and consent *(for vaccine, read ‘immorally coerced medical experimentation’) When I first went to sea I was in the Royal Navy Unit at University. Mostly it was an excuse for me to be drunk 2 days out of every three. I didn’t take it very seriously at first, but it gave […]

RPB.

Nobody discusses climate change at the funeral of a seven year old girl. Nobody would stop to use hand sanitizer, before rushing to the liferaft on a sinking ferry. Nobody would turn down a plastic drinking straw, after your car breaks down and you’ve spent 3 days in the desert. So much of what passes […]

The Burden of Command Lie

It was the second phase of my career in the Merchant Navy, and the step to the promotion that really marked me out from the crowd and secured my future. The move from Officer of the Watch (OOW), to Chief Mate Unlimited. Obtaining this licence would mean that you would be qualified to go on […]

The Miracle of the Literal Christian

To paraphrase the comedian Owen Benjamin, When Jesus Christ said: ‘This bread is my body and this wine is my blood’, that dude was clearly stating that, if you are not into metaphors, this club isn’t for you! The clue is in the beginning, ‘we are made in the image of God’ This means (I […]

The Un-Tied Kingdom

There has been much debate about the possibility of the collapse of the Union between Scotland and England this year. Such commentary has increasingly polarised along the lines of the Brexit divide, most likely because of the moral value those in Government and the media place on collectivism.  However, it strikes me as really odd […]
