Has the Great Awakening Finally Begun?

Is “the Storm” Upon Us?

Back in 2017 (I think), during a “photo op” with senior military commanders and other public servants, President Trump said something like, “This is the calm before the storm.”

Reporters asked him what he meant, but he only said, “You’ll see.”

Somebody identifying themselves only as “Q” began posting on 4 Chan at approximately the same time. They later had to switch to 8 Chan, but Q’s posts inspired a whirlwind of international speculation about what his cryptic quatrains might mean, and if Q was part of an open source intelligence operation, or just part of a psyop designed to keep patriots complacent, trusting in “the plan” instead of taking any kind of meaningful action ourselves.

I introduced the Q phenomenon to Virtual Pulpers here.

I began an attempt at decoding Q’s posts here.

I analyzed the film White Squall (from which we get the “Where we go one, we go all” catchphrase) here.

Keep in mind, I’m not an expert on Q. I discovered it late and it never consumed me to the point it has some autistic anons. In fact, until recently I had almost decided the whole affair was an irrelevant waste of our time. Just another contrivance to get our hopes up, then smash them.

If Q really was/is an open-source intelligence operation, then it does make sense his “crumbs” would contain a degree of misinformation and disinformation–the enemy can read Q drops just as easily as anons can. Misled anons have been assuming the arrests would begin at any moment for the last eight years.

The arrests still haven’t begun, BTW. In fact, even without Biden’s preemptive “Get Out of Jail Free” pardons, many of the worst criminals, traitors, and other human monsters will likely never face justice for what they’ve done. But as the revelations of what they’ve done to us stacks up, I’m reminded of a statement Q made many times, years ago: “These people won’t be able to show their faces in public anymore.”

Or something like that. I think the exact phrase was closer to “won’t be able to walk down the street.”

Q also stated many times that we’re “watching a movie.” Anonymous Conservative has opined many times that events are playing out as if scripted, and that “this movie sucks.” I consider him right on both counts.

At least, the movie did suck for too many long, dark years.

But now, the DOGE team is hitting erstwhile bastions of fraud and corruption like a storm. We can hope that what is exposed will lead to justice.

Q also said, many times, that it had to be this way. IOW it had to get as bad as it did to wake bovine normies from their trance and notice that there’s a hole in the hull of the ship. Several holes, actually.

The movie still sucks. The J6ers will never get those four years of their lives back, for instance. Just think of the people who lost their cars, businesses, and sometimes lives during the riots of 2020. Think of how Bidenflation hurt every American trying to make an honest living.

But this is 5th Generation War, I guess, and all that was collateral damage.

I recommend against putting your faith in the creature instead of the Creator. It’s fine to celebrate what’s happening right now, but don’t be a fool and put your faith in Musk, DOGE, Q or Trump. If they continue on the path they seem to be on, then thank God for giving America a stay of execution, however temporary it proves to be, and through whatever flawed human beings He chose to use.

Meanwhile, I plan to take advantage of this reprieve as best I can. You should, too. This could be the decisive moment in your life.

Spear of Destiny by Mary Lou Wells

Spear of Destiny: Finding Bucephalus

by Mary Lou Wells

A review by INFAMOUS🦀

 

When I first read and reviewed Book 1, Spear of Chaos, I thought it was good but I felt like it could have been even better. In hindsight, I believe my ‘final verdict’ was the result of Part 1 of that book being so compelling that once the narrative moved on to Part 2 it did not hold my interest as much. Part 1 of that book showcases the creation of the cursed Spear of Chaos and it is just a brilliant display of Norse mythology at its best. Once the action moved to our main characters in the year of 1985 though, I kinda’ felt like I wanted the action to remain in the Norse mythology world and did not care much about these kids in the 1980s:

 

Unfortunately, once the action moves to 1985, things take a turn and the narrative entirely switches gears. At that point it became harder for me to feel the same excitement I felt in the first page”

Fast forward to today, and after reading Book 2, Spear of Destiny, I truly feel that a vast improvement has taken place. This is due mainly to two reasons:

  1. I was better prepared to expect the action to move from the ancient world of myth and legend to our kids of 1980s
  2. The narrative surrounding our protagonists in the ’80s significantly improved, in fact I went from being indifferent to them in Book 1 to actually liking them in Book 2.

 

PLOT:

Everything begins when Ulfr, an evil and despicable subject who lived during the Norse mythology/Vikings era committed heinous crimes against humanity and with the aid of dark magick (with a K, yes) he creates a spear that will host his soul after his body will perish.

Fast-forward to 1985 rural US and the Spear of Chaos finds its way back among the living, feeding on the souls of the innocent so that Ulfr can rule again. It will be up to our group of teens and Diane, a black female police officer, to stop the chaos unleashed by the Spear. Book 2 picks up exactly where Book 1 left off. The kids are now in possession of the Spear but they need to find a way to destroy it once and for all. It seems easy, right? Only one issue: this Spear seems virtually indestructible, and not even with fire are the kids able to put an end to it. So the story will revolve around the task of finding a way to destroy the Spear of Chaos, and ultimately our young heroes discover that only the legendary Spear of Destiny will be able to get the job done. The only problem is finding the Spear of Destiny!

 

MARY LOU KNOWS HER LEGENDS:

Just like in Book 1, Part 1 of Book 2 takes us to a long time ago in history. This time we get to follow the whereabouts of Alexander the Great and his legendary horse Bucephalus. This is very crucial to the entire story as later on Bucephalus will become actively involved in aiding our protagonists.

What I really love about Part 1 is how once again Mary Lou is able to capture the essence of those ancient myths and characters. Everyone read about Alexander is very accurate and the entire time I was thinking how awesome it would be to have an entire book dedicated to what we are presented with in this opening part of the book.

MYTH/RELIGION/HISTORY:

A most captivating element found in this book (and in Book 1) is how Mary Lou manages to blend in myth with religion and history in ways that are not tiring or generic. Too many modern writers use these elements in ways that are, in my opinion, abhorrent, but Mary Lou always shows reverence and an authentic passion for these subjects. 

 

MAIN CHARACTERS:

The author is also part of our group of 1985 teenage protagonists. In fact all main characters are real individuals very close to Mary Lou. What I like about them is that they never come off as annoying self-absorbed brats who constantly make the dumbest decisions along the way and who find the best way to get in trouble. These are all smart kids who are very responsible and make common sense decisions. The fact that some of them are gifted with supernatural powers does not change their personas or likability at all. They kind of reminded me of those kids from Stranger Things but far less annoying and a lot wiser. 

The oldest of the group is not a teen but a police officer who finds out about the Spear of Chaos and decides to join and help them. She quickly becomes my favorite of the bunch, and not because she is a strong, independent woman of color! Diane is just a cool girl: smart but not conceited; humble but not insecure; resourceful but not overpowering. Is that how women on the force used to be in the 80s? 

 

CONCLUSIONS:

If you haven’t read Book 1 yet I really encourage you to do so to get ready for Spear of Destiny. This is fantasy done well, mixing myth, history, religions, and that 1980s flair some of you may enjoy. The book is also very professionally edited and it is written in a prose that is direct and to the point yet refined when it needs to be, going from one historical period into another.

Another new LEGEND in the making!

A Hot Dose of Hell by Steve Stark

A Hot Dose of Hell: A Tale of Stark Terror

by Steve Stark

Review by INFAMOUS🦀

 

If director Guy Ritchie ever decided to film a zombie-based horror movie, A Hot Dose of Hell would be it! This story combines elements of Night of the Living Dead and Resident Evil with that action/satire style typical of the British filmmaker. Stark excels in offering a story that we have perhaps seen many times before but with fun-to-watch characters that are lively, funny, and are filled with a humanity dearly needed not just in the horror genre but in any genre really.

 

PLOT:

When foster girl Rhonda goes looking for her missing half-sister Roxy in a slum known for being the home of junkies and drug dealers, what she finds is more than what she is willing to bargain for. Accompanied by a group of young social activists, Rhonda is worried that something might have happened to Roxy since they have not been in contact by phone or even on Facebook for longer than what she would consider a normal pattern, even for Roxy. She knows her sister has an addiction problem and her concern grows as the silence extends.

What Rhonda does not realize is that something has been going on in this little junkie suburb. Something dark and nefarious. And she and the little group of far-left activists/volunteers will regret ever having driven into town!

 

THE ZOMBIE FORMULA:

We’ve seen this play out many times before: an R&D government agency decides to use an entire suburb as ground zero for an experimental compound that they might possibly want to weaponize based on the data they will gather. They find a way to put this experimental compound into circulation among the junkies who live in these slums, and  they just watch and gather data via drones. What they don’t take into consideration is that this contagious compound can be spread through animals like sea gulls, which inhabit the area in large numbers.

You can imagine what comes next!

WHY IS THIS WORTH READING:

I am not a big fan of horror, and usually this genre is very ‘boxed in’, prepackaged, and very predictable. But what makes A Hot Dose of Hell worth reading is its characters. Rhonda and Roxy feel very real in their behavior and thinking process; two half-sisters who could not be more opposite, yet linked by a strong bond since their childhood.

Fred and Pinkie are the ‘muscle’ of a prostitution ring who find themselves in the middle of a situation where two ‘employees’ seem to have gone literally mad at the brothel. These two no-nonsense thugs truly embody that dry sense of humor typical of early Ritchie’s movies.

You also have the group of social activist kids who keep arguing about what words are OK to use in a society where anyone seems to get too easily offended. You cannot use the term ‘guys’ in a group of mixed sexes, that would make you a misogynist!

All these characters come to life from the pages of the book in ways that really make the story fun to follow despite the obvious plot development which we might have seen many times before.

There was also an author’s decision made for one of the characters’ fate that caught me off guard. But in hindsight, I thought it was clever of Stark and I applaud him for taking a risk here. It paid off this time!

 

CONCLUSIONS:

This book is definitely worth grabbing if you like horror/zombies stories. But I have to highly recommend it if you like to read about characters that are not just planks of wood waiting to be eaten by the walking dead but rather relatable characters with a large spectrum of emotions. Some characters you may end up loving, some hating. Nevertheless, they will all make you feel something, and that’s crucial when rating a novel.

The book is also very professionally written and edited and the local accents of these characters are gold. Writing dialogue with thick  accents can be fun but tricky at times because it can go too far where you lose the readers. But this is not the case here, as the author manages to  walk that fine line between reproducing realistic urban British accents and keeping the readers engaged all throughout this crazy ride.

Stark has definitely established himself as a sensational writer of ‘horror with an attitude”!

Based Books that Don’t Break the Bank

Have you noticed the change in the zeitgeist in the last couple weeks? This might be the most confident and optimistic you’ve felt for decades, or ever. Amirite?

The clusterbomb of revelations that began exploding when DOGE hit the ground running is the culmination of planning, preparation, team-building, wargaming and fine-tuning which took long years.

Some of us are not surprised about the information coming out–just surprised that it IS coming out and that it appears something may finally be done about a  full of corruption, treason, and worse.

The reason there are any unsurprised Americans at all is because they were well-informed despite the corporate, globalist-controlled Swamp Media and its legions of glowing clown influencers who regurgitate its lies. The dissident right is well-informed because of culture warriors who have been tirelessly sounding the alarm.

Some culture warriors are investigative journalists who built their own alternative media platforms. Some are livestreamers and podcasters.  Some are meme-makers; some are meme-sharers. And some are based authors.

Based authors have been offering their books at steep discounts for the Based Book Sale four times a year, dropping forbidden truth bombs even in that aforementioned status quo when American citizens could be arrested for sharing a meme. That status quo wherein you would be classified as a domestic terrorist by the FBI for reading excerpts in a school board meeting from a perverse book that the school board made your children read.

We sounded the alarm. We revealed suppressed information. We questioned Establishment-approved assumptions. But most of all, we told good stories (unlike Hollywood and traditional publishing).

If you missed out on those Based Book Sales from the exciting (and fearful) days of the Cancel Culture Era, never fear! The Based Book Sale rolls on and you can still get those good stories. But now there’s a new sheriff in town who won’t be putting you on an enemies list because you read something without the Establishment-mandated daily dose of Marxist agitprop, sexual deviancy, and America Hate.

Don’t make the assumption that “based” means “preachy.” What it really means in this context is that story quality is the priority. Some books are controversial and name names, but most is actually apolitical. Based authors don’t lace their books with woketardery.

Speaking of controversial, I understand Vox Day will be offering his fantasy novel Throne of Bones at this sale. Other well-known authors like John C. Wright and Devon Eriksen  (at the Fall Sale their books finished first and second in sales, followed by my very own magnum opus: Paradox) have discounted their books for the sale in the past and might this time, too.

I plan to have three of my sci-fi novels available through the sale for 99 cents. My readers know I write adventure of one flavor or another. These novels mix that with conspiracy thriller, sports, romance, time travel, some coming-of age and a little bit of alternate history.

Get yours for 99 cents while you can!

Heir to the Sundered Crown – a Review

Heir to the Sundered Crown – The Sundered Crown Saga Book One by M.S. Olney

A review by INFAMOUS🦀

 

Book 1 of Heir to the Sundered Crown is a well-written, enthralling fantasy tale that I found quite enjoyable for different reasons. Let’s face it, it is very difficult nowadays to write fantasy that manages to capture our full attention. This is due to several reasons: 

 

  1.  The market is oversaturated with fantasy books and if the author is not well known, chances are they will fly under the radar of most readers.
  2. Most current fantasy stories today are a ‘reassembling of parts’ from Lord of the Rings, Wheel of Time, and Harry Potter. It’s the norm for modern fantasy writers to just copy and paste aspects of those fantasy cult classics without adding anything fresh or original to them.
  3. We have progressive modernists who want to use the genre with the application of ‘modern thinking’ so that the ‘fantasy’ element becomes just a veneer, with the essence of the stories becoming a sad reflection of the deranged post-modernist agenda.

 

HTSC manages to offer enough exciting content while avoiding to fall into the category of stereotypical fantasy/adventure novel. 

 

PLOT:

The entire story centers around the assassination of the royal family of the kingdom of Delfinia. The assassins, however, fail to find and murder the young prince who, thanks to Davik and Elena, is taken to safety at an undisclosed location. This coup leads to civil unrest and skirmishes among local barons, all vying for power.

However, the mastermind behind this plot is a supernatural foe greater than any mortal being, and that is our mage apprentice, Luxon gets introduced to us. 

Luxon is made aware that he comes from a lineage of powerful mages and, along with a team composed of knights, nightblades, and witch hunters, will play a key role in finding the young prince and rightful heir to the throne, which is key to avoid the legions of darkness to breach the Void and take over the world.

THE TOLKIEN EFFECT:

As I was reading this book, I couldn’t help but think of Lord of The Rings at some points. 

For example the friendship between apprentice mage Luxon and his buddy Yepert (a rotund, jolly friend from the mage apprentice school) reminded me very much of the same relationship we see with Frodo and Sam. Yepert even finds courage and strength when it’s needed most just like Sam, while Luxon, just like Frodo, is the most reflective of the two.

Also lines like “Please don’t turn me in anything unnatural” too reminded me very much of what we read in Tolkien. Not a major issue but it speaks volume of the massive influence Tolkien still has on modern fantasy writing.

 

MODERN EUPHEMISMS:

If there is one area I think the author could improve is in the implementation of modern euphemisms. 

Phrases like:

  • All in all, I’d say that was a good day’s work
  • And none of us died, which is always a bonus
  • intelligence network
  • until the cows come home

 

The above could easily be replaced with more evocative alternatives. That would help readers be drawn further into this fantasy world. Just because a term CAN be used doesn’t necessarily mean that it SHOULD be used, within the context of this genre.

 

CONCLUSIONS:

All in all, book 1 of HTSC delivers a fun, action-packed fantasy adventure for die-hard fans of the genre with heavy Tolkienian influence. I suggest you pick this book or maybe buy it as a gift and perhaps get your family and friends into discovering the magic and excitement that books like this one can offer. 

Book 2 will probably get reviewed at a later date since I’m curious to know what could possibly happen in the plot after the seemingly decisive victory of good over evil we read in book 1!
