Peak cringe, Youth football/soccer teams with “Elite” in the name playing in the 7th division… while the kids can barely complete a pass.
These labels are meaningless. Drop them.
My friend Leo traveled to Tokyo carrying his late grandfather’s 1970s Seiko watch.
It had stopped working years ago. Leo didn't speak a word of Japanese, so he relied entirely on Google Translate.
In a quiet back alley, he walked into a tiny watch repair shop with just an elderly man sitting behind a cluttered desk.
Leo held up his phone and typed:
"It stopped ticking years ago. Can you fix it?"
The old watchmaker examined the watch, paused, and put on his magnifying loupe. He didn't say a single word.
He opened the caseback, took a deep breath, and worked in complete silence for 40 minutes.
Suddenly, a faint, steady ticking filled the room.
Leo teared up. He typed on his phone and showed the screen:
"How much do I owe you?"
The old man gently shook his head.
He slowly typed something on his own phone and turned the screen toward Leo:
"No charge. Look inside the caseback. That tiny engraved mark was mine. I assembled this watch 53 years ago as a young apprentice. Thank you for bringing my boy home."
“Everything, in fact, is false, theatrical, and artificial in desire except the immense hunger for the sacred.”

"I’ve dealt with this little fucker... He’s tricky. He’s like the special-needs child for the Europeans. And he’s acting like Mr Bean on crack.”

Actor Christopher Lee in 1975 discussing the occult and black magic.
Christopher was a knight of malta and a descendent of the Black Nobility Medici bloodline.
It is safe to say he is telling the truth.
This type of masculine Christianity is never shown in Western movies.
The priest has a powerful manly voice and invokes warrior saints (at 0:36).
I never saw this in Western movies about Middle Ages, even though Catholic liturgy would also invoke warrior saints (in Latin).
Crowley claimed a Moonchild is made when SRA is used to fracture the psyche, or the soul. Then, the psychic wounds act as portals into other dimensions where magical entities are captured inside the person. He called this method The Butterfly Net. Sounds like Project Monarch!
America is awesome because an F18 pilot can eject, walk down the road on an iphone, and a local can stand right next to him talking as if he knows exactly whats going on and says, "Damn bud, you hit the tree, you need to fly higher."
