A Book on a Dusty Shelf
Some time back, I discovered an old paperback named The Cowboys and the Cossacks by Clair Huffaker – a 1973 novel set in Montana that imagines a cattle drive collision between American cowboys and a band of Cossacks crossing from Siberia – on a dusty bookshelf, and after reading it, I found within its pages some of the themes that are still helping people culturally today, when all about them the culture seems assaulted by mainstream media. With the ongoing war on the Eurasian Steppes, this needs to be looked at from 2 main cultures. I will much expand the focus to unearth the true clash ongoing, of what some might claim is the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse going on in our world, but with reference to the cowboy and Cossack myths which underlie the psyche of its peoples. Is there a clash in the Kleptocracy, or are we seeing a very violent convincing Kabuki Theatre show to distract us from the Greatest Depression underway and the Great Reset to fix the order out of chaos they have intentionally created?
Mythology and the War on It
Aside from our more important Christian roots, J.R.R. Tolkien was indispensable in rooting the English-speaking world with its own mythology and iconic characters of our ancient shared European culture. This goes to the deeper aspects of our being, as to what we are. Cowboys and Cossacks are our more immediately recognisable history and cultural symbols, that some are trying to do away with, as can be seen in our most important movie history of our recent generations. It is no mistake or fluke that many of our epic movie stories are now under attack, and these storylines or narratives are deliberately being destroyed with new bastardised narratives and simply the shelving of movies that never see the light of day any more. The best example of this being done was how the Moon Landing recordings, by NASA, were supposedly mistakenly destroyed. The false excuses given are many, but it is the people behind this woke agenda that have other more Hegelian Dialectics in mind.
For many unhistorical modern youth their movies and animation stories are what is left of their own reflection of themselves, that is somewhat relatively left less touched by the chaos. The cultural creators have moved on from destroying history proper, through endless unrestricted revisionism, to destroying impressionable psyches as a continuation of deracinating the population from all connections of themselves and their past. This is one lesser reason so many young men have come to the Orthodox Christian Church. The intentional collapsing of the nation, with the latest trendy religions, astro-turfed grassroots groups, and endless media drama distractions, makes one feel pity for those lost in the whirlwind of distortion and corruption, but let us try and keep our eyes on the ball.
The virtual world (like META) could be the place these mental refugees are meant to flee to, as it becomes at first what they hoped their real lives would be, but likely will become deracinating later as nothing in the public sphere will be left untouched by what is coming down the pipe. The alternative to this digital rat’s maze is to not follow fashion, which is effete anyway, and try to hold on to true history of some sort. It has become clear to me that fashion has now been made into the antithesis of history.
The First Mustangs
Both the Americas and the Russian and Ukrainian Steppes have had their version of horse riders. Whether it is the gaucho in Argentina, or el Vaquero in other parts of Spanish America, the roots of all versions of Western cowboys do start with the Spanish horses that escaped from the early conquistadors, that became the wild mustangs still found in patches of the western USA today.
Upon discovery and capture of these horses, the aboriginal tribes of the plains used them to better their lives on the prairie in their main use of hunting bison. Later on, came the American and Canadian horse breeds from Northern Europe, whose horses were sometimes mixed with these mustangs on the ranches.
The cowboy myths we are all so familiar with, which have tended to have heavily come out of Hollywood movies, though their spirit still remains in other more just forms with occupations like independent truckers or oil riggers more than, say, Nashville Country music.
Within my own family, my grandfather Jack broke in horses for a bit of extra money during the Great Depression. Jack talked sparingly, like Gary Cooper, but would still be on point at the heart of any matter of importance. Tough as nails he was, as he learned from his father to drive teams of 2 to 6 horses pulling supplies over icy rivers in the depth of winter for the Hudson Bay Company. The destination was very near the border of the Northwest Territories. Kind of like those relatively recent TV shows with truckers driving their rigs over the rivers in winter, but the old timers had to carry the food for the horses, had no vehicle cabins or shelters, and no lights or rescue vehicles to save them if you got stuck or went through the ice. They only had the masculine code of fellow sleigh drivers to help one another.
A real representation of an average cowboy’s daily work could be boring, lonely, and intermittently dangerous. A stampede of hundreds of cattle could endanger both man and horse. The weather was often scorching in the summer, bitterly cold in the winter, and periods of heavy rain or snow with no respite. Like in the movies, cowboys moved herds, often slept outside sometimes without tents, and struggled to cook decent food to eat. They received low pay for their hard and physical work for being in the saddle all day. This seems beyond the grasp of many boys and young men as they are now not even doing sports, and have been eased into false computer game competitions. Hardly anything near the either of the past mainstays. My mother feared me getting hurt playing ice hockey, and so I was not allowed to play. When I got older I left the apron strings and played gridiron football and was the hard hitting middle linebacker. Some boys never leave the apron strings now.
The cowboy character, which came to be sold to the public, became a standard theme that was attractive for people to identify with in its toughness, rugged individualism, distrust of authorities, dislike of urban living or rural by choice, spartan with words, doers over talkers, wary of the sauce (booze), mentoring only of the worthy, and a stumbling lack of verboseness with women. Much of this was generally true, yet the gunfighter and other traits that started to leak out of the new Babylon have taken this vision in new directions that for those of us that know our history is pure taradiddles (lies, tall tales).
The Old Hollywood Hoedown
Few people are aware of the choice the British-American establishment made in the creation of Hollywood. There was a time that the HQ for movies, to sway the masses, might have ended up in England. There were much more movies at that time coming out of England, but it was decided that Americans would not warm to any red coat stars from across the pond, and so Hollywood California was chosen, but not without some less obvious clues to its purpose.
Holy Wood denotes a magic wand, as you see in the Disney Mickey Mouse ads when Mickey has the cloak of a Wizard hat on, which goes back to the very unchristian Druids and their holy trees. There is a town of Hollywood in Scotland (as well as Ireland) that has a history connected to early religious times, like Doire Congaill (Congall’s oak-copse) and Johannes de Sacrobosco. Sacrobosco has very much a history like that of a Rosicrucian. So this choice of location in California might have had a little more of a meaningful esoteric purpose to it.
Lookout Mountain Laboratory in California was placed nearby and was originally envisioned as an air defence centre. Located in Laurel Canyon, it was built in 1941 and nestled in two-and-a-half secluded acres off what is now Wonderland Park Avenue. The installation was hidden from public view for the most part, surrounded by an electrified fence, and had lots of hidden underground passageways, likely similar to those discovered by the apes in the first Planet of the Apes movies with Charlton Heston. There was a state-of-the-art movie studio for the secret services of the time, as most of the WWII propaganda films were created there. Visitors to this then-top-secret locale were a who’s who of big names: John Ford, Jimmy Stewart, Howard Hawks, Ronald Reagan, Bing Crosby, Walt Disney, and Marilyn Monroe.
Cowboy Ethics vs. the Good Prussian Soldier
The cultural creators had a problem after building up the western bull nurse (cowboy), as you could hear stories from military trainers in the US Armed Forces having to have drill sergeants shout at new recruits that they did not need any John Wayne types here, as they needed to be team players. It is hard to imagine some new employee at Walmart being told they do not need any Justin Timberlake types today. Yet that was a problem at that time in the armed forces. During the World Wars many actors felt the need to fight in the war in some way, and many did, for fear of suffering for all time in not measuring up to the tough guys they played in pictures, or due to honest patriotic duty. Aside from the late great Pat Tillman, and the issues surrounding who killed him, we do not see any actors or actresses feeling any urge to sign up for duty, or to better play a fighting character, as the earlier actors did. Instead, these junipers (an easterner or inexperienced cowhand) repeat clichés of how they do not like guns and red necks in movie promotion interviews, while acting like shootin’ specialists in the movies to make money and gain fame.
The Red Neck slur’s true meaning was the original Protestants’ mockery of the corrupt, super wealthy, and powerful red-garbed Cardinals of Rome, whose necks were sheltered in expensive cloth, that allowed them to keep a straight face as they made vows of poverty. In response to this insult to Christianity, these Protestants wore a red scarf around their necks in mockery. This bit of history revisionism, by the state apparatus, has been rearranged so you do not warm to fellow conservative hard-working men. This was done as well with the slur chauvinist, which I will cover in a future article.
Catholic Revisionism
Once an organisation starts to play ball with those in power they receive cover from the very sources that once attacked them. One can guess with little effort that the Cardinals of the Catholic Church are now on the inside of the NWO, as we just saw the alphabet mafia marching in the Vatican with the blessing of the new American Pope Leo. Leo is now doing away with Cardinals too, as if the problem was about ranks and wardrobe, and not honouring their vows of poverty.
Another interesting point of history is that the Protestant Reformation was said to have started with the German Mercenaries who, having lodged their horses in the Sistine Chapel, saw all the nudes and went back to Germany to tell about the ways of Rome. We are now all jaded with pornography everywhere in our time, but for those without enough money to buy a book in their time, the Sistine Chapel surely was pornography to them. Unlike icons in Orthodox Churches, where clothes being worn are a must and artistic expressionism is secondary to the morals of the faith, the Sistine Chapel is a different matter entirely. Maybe such things could be turned into a museum, so as to not mix the issues so? The present effort by the Catholic Church seems centred on making the new church more palatable to the new alien faith, while the Protestants seem to have a new faith based on Zionism.
Rebuilding the New Tools
In the military there is a need to break down and rebuild new recruits into a following-orders kind of team player, as the Muppet Police of England have replaced the Bobbies of old, letting rape gangs alone and instead arresting people for passing on tweets that are politically incorrect. This military-like effort involves breaking their mythology at the time, whether they are aware of it or not, for this is how normies see themselves, and most importantly this can be changed in a tough crisis. Many that come from a sheltered existence are more easily broken down too, as spoiled momma’s boys are easier to rearrange. In MK Ultra brainwashing (we are told) women and very young people are easier targets, unlike what the Jason Bourne series implies.
Gay men have been used in history also, as cutting their ties with any ideas of manhood is easier to do. Estranged or absent fathers are known more to lead boys to gangs or gay males, and from here to organisations that can use them to our detriment. Most people only see the dandy gays in movies and are unaware of the killers that one can see in books like The Pink Swastika by Scott Lively and Kevin Abrams. For a more modern and US-centred version of this, please watch the Kay Griggs Story on how homosexuality has changed things in the armed forces. Please understand these techniques were all brought over from the British MI5 and MI6, and probably first used in the navy for this reason.
Wars have been claimed by the elite as the best time to change a country’s culture and myths, or as the related slogan goes, to bring Order Out of Chaos. By causing chaos they then bring a new cultural agenda to the scared and desperate people. Just look at what was being piggybacked on the pandemics and non-stop scary narratives. With the black-clad storm troopers of many police departments today, who brandish ear-splitting sound weapons, tasers, and the like, it might be better to have a hell of a lot of John Wayne types in their ranks saying: Now hold on a minute, are we not supposed to be wearin’ white hats and catchin’ the corrupt owners of the town that are runnin’ everythin’? If you doubt the above, just look into the life of Major General Smedley Butler – the most decorated Marine in US history at the time – who stopped a US coup attempt (the Business Plot) of the US government by the business fat cats, prior to the US entrance into WWII. Butler, whose story is told in detail by Hans Schmidt in Maverick Marine: General Smedley D. Butler and the Contradictions of American Military History, surely had a bit of the cowboy ethos in him on how to deal with rattlesnakes.
Much of the historical roots of this kind of problem for the elite, with independent-minded soldiers, can be found in history with the head of international Freemasonry and known homosexual, the King of Prussia, Frederick the Great. Old Mighty Fred had also suffered from soldiers that would not follow orders in the 1700s in his demands to kill civilians. Having proved himself to be a yellowbelly at his first battle and run off, only to find out later his army had won the battle during his skedaddling, it is a funny old world.
The solution for the high and mighty to this kind of soldier was known as the Prussian Education System, which can also be seen in the Hessian soldier training, and was later adopted by the USA under new names of Progressive Education. The Classics were one of the first things removed from our education system, and the good little workforce was made for what the Anglo-American allied oligarchy wanted. One can see this in the bells used before and after class, to get the workforce to react to bells like Pavlov’s dogs in the factories. We cannot look at the first versions of the Progressive Education system now and not feel nostalgic for a time when children wore uniforms, and so had less time spent on the fashionable status-seeking of NY or Paris offshoots of greater deracination, or students standing up for the teacher when they entered, though the real key to this education system is blind obedience to authority.
Now most of us can see the woke educational distortion, and how sympathetic we all are to parents who are apologetically saying that their children are theirs and who cares about your school board Authoritah (Eric Cartman from South Park), yet it is the maverick nature that has been lost in the American population, often with the father being removed from the home, that has let things get so out of hand. Yet it is our icons and characters we watch, mimic, or worship that have been distorted with a purpose. Regardless of where we are now, you can see that many elites will not rest until we are like the Betas, Gammas, Deltas, and lowly Epsilons of the Brave New World book dystopia.
Anyone worth their military salt will also know of how a disproportionate number of Southerners (called galvanised Yankees) have been in the US military from the time after the Civil War, and how the purging has gone on with political correctness taken to extreme levels recently. Anti-vaxxers, anti-gay, anti-woke, anti-illegal immigrant, strict Christians, and many other principled enlisted people from the mainstream were canned or demoted from the armed forces.
With this in mind, I hope the technological weapons we have had made are as good as we hope they are, with so many lion-like men and women being kicked out for not being politically correct. It is known in history that lion-types (direct people) rise to the top in war, while in peacetime more fox-types rise to positions of power with the expected results, as best seen in the Muppet Cops of England. Saying no to the leadership on occasion is a lot better than killing your officers in combat, as was known to be done in the Vietnam War. I thought we had learned all the lessons from that war. It seems we have not.
The Legion of Decency
Effective social Christianity was there with Hollywood and cowboys too at the start, but not because Hollywood wanted it, far from it, but because the Legion of Decency hit the studios hard with boycotts when they were changing over to talkies. It was the Catholics who united best and boycotted films effectively, and that got Hollywood studio executives to actually come begging in tears to lift the boycotts. This is a lesson that should not be lost on people today, yet all good Christians supported the Catholic lead of the LOD. Even back then Hollywood wanted to bring sex and decadency slowly into the mainstream, like the boiling of the frog we can see so clearly over time. Freedom of speech was a thing Hollywood screamed about with how McCarthyism had gone after the communists in tinsel town, which was “so bad,” as we were hammered endlessly later for it. Now with the left’s control of the reins of power they are forcing a shutdown of opponents. It is more than hypocrisy:
“When I am Weaker Than You, I ask you for Freedom because that is according to your principles; when I am Stronger than you, I take away your Freedom because that is according to my principles.” – Frank Herbert, Children of Dune
So when the left were weaker, the honest straight-shootin’ cowboy icon was brought to bear, and there were many actors who tried to fit the mould best. John Wayne won the ideal. There were other lesser versions, but only in the Duke can one follow events with some clarity. The British did try to bring in friendly forces at the beginning of Hollywood with lots of actors from Canada, as they could not warm the Americans too soon with a full-on set of British actors who preferred the stages in Old Blighty (UK), and sounding very much like red coats. Still, the Royal Canadian Mounties were presented in a good light and so some warming to England took place.
Warming to the English people is something we all want, but warming to the British elite is a whole different matter. In recent history the endless smart British villains in Hollywood movies who have the RP (Received Pronunciation) or Queen’s English is very well known. Yet what many do not note as much is how the dumb British villains often have lower-class British accents. It seems the old class divisions have been maintained in movies over time, even outside of the older Upstairs-Downstairs time period. Classism is not dead over there, and here as well, as we will see.
Films in the 1960s and 1970s
When the Hollywood establishment finally wanted to move to the next icon to sway the masses, they had problems, as the people did not want the cowboy to go. The Hollywood big shots made out that the hippies were tired of these movies, but the film Easy Rider was very much just a new set of hog horsepower with a hidden agenda to split the public. Before John Wayne they had Bogie (Humphrey Bogart), and afterwards they went with Jack Nicholson, but they never really stuck aside from those worshipping at the new idols of their generation. Bogie was too city for the rural parts and never had the long legs the Duke still has. Still, as a symbol of masculinity I would prefer Bogie to anything that comes from that Hollywoodland today. One of my, and many others’, favourite movies was the first Blade Runner movie, which was just another version of the gritty streetwise, cut-to-the-chase, several-moves-ahead, has-a-rough-way-of-dealing-with-femme-fatales Bogie style. Though Blade Runner was played by Harrison Ford in an anti-hero style, we can still see the jaded flawed character of Bogie even in this picture. Harrison Ford was not veering too much of a break from his Star Wars Han Solo character either, who had some Bogie in him. While George Lucas’ Star Wars and Gene Roddenberry’s Star Trek were sold as wagon trains to the stars, the moviegoers still flocked to what Hollywood was not wanting to sell and still held on to moral characters even as Christianity slumped or was distorted. Hence why Disney’s intentional assault on the Star Wars franchise has occurred.
They eventually went with Clint Eastwood, as they could make him move into the city and get him morally dirty and dark, like Bogie. Still, Bogie dealt with the dark (film noir), while Clint Eastwood killed it or ignored it. The movie Coogan’s Bluff shows their effort with Clint before they gained subtlety. The key to this cultural creation was that criminals are only found at the low to medium levels of society and never at the top. Like with murder mystery detectives, the Moriartys were never found to be at the tops of the biggest power structures or running governments. Even in the 007 genre the leaders of our governments were still good guys, as the robber barons had somehow made a polite exit to Davos or Bilderberg, it would seem, and could not be seen running the show from behind the curtain in movies. It seems art imitates, confuses, and mimics the official agenda, and not real life anymore.
Edgy Jack Nicholson was where they wanted to go in creating a new man, and Brando and James Dean is where they ended up for a time. Emotionally confused as these characters were presented in their roles, no cowboy-like average male had time to state why Freud was wrong, as they had hard work to do. Where the 1930s, 1940s, and even the 1950s movies got Americans ready to join the armed forces, after Vietnam Hollywood wanted males that were disturbed, or were playboy spy machines like 007, and so started the split personalities we see in full force today in film. Jason Bourne is still a good guy who had his mind split, but when did this splitting of agents really start, and what about actors being split to play the split roles and not just the split roles? Occult followers do not care why anyone watches their ritual movies, as long as they do. So watching decadent ritualistic movies is playing a demonic game. Read a critique and save your soul. I have never watched horror movies, as senseless violence with no meaning is still worse than violence with a purpose.
The part left out of the Prussian education of soldiers and spy agents in the movies was the Prussian Disease (PD), which was homosexuality in the ranks. Dating back to the Knightly Orders, which had no women allowed, where these males were supposed to be chaste and said to live like monks, the Prussian Disease got its first hold. So many military scandals to this effect were widely known to the public in the countries of Germany and Austria-Hungary prior to WWI, with even the King of Austria’s own son shooting his male lover (not a woman) in the Mayerling Incident and then himself, well before Sarajevo and the assassination of his cousin Archduke Franz Ferdinand and the start of WWI.
While with English spy movies there was no need to sleep a man with a man if you wanted to help God, King, and Country it would seem, for the English boarding schools and their fagging tradition was left out of lovers of James Bond and also Harry Potter movies too. From the Village People singing group of gay men in cowboy outfits shaking their butts on stage, to the Brokeback Mountain movie, we have an organised attempt to bring the agenda by the backdoor, pun intended.
Yet like you see with the present Get Woke Go Broke, the response of the public and mavericks at large is a no go. The same reaction happened with the Disco Sucks Movement, which stopped the replacement of the much-talented band members with programmable drums and such. We see today where this led, as young cute singers that do not choose their own clothes or make-up, do not compose their own tunes, do not write their own lyrics, do not choreograph their own dance steps, do often enough not even sing their handlers’ created songs, and finally do not sleep with who they want to either! So far have we fallen as a culture to trendiness and effeminacy, as style over substance rules fashion of all kinds in our world.
Underneath we still like our heroes to have good characters, over the fact they are quick with a gun and fist when need be. They are having a hard time getting rid of the cowboys as we see them in science fiction and in TV series still today. Versions of cowboys are far from dead, and Hollywood and the creators of our decadent art really just hate that, second only to Christianity being seen in a good light. They will continue to turn the character of the cowboy into a black hat as much as we will let them. Like the Legion of Decency, boycott hard and boycott often. After the first Disney Star Wars I have never paid, and will never pay, to see the inversion of the myth, but will write on the true original myth, which was far from ideal but at least thought provoking.
We may be a simplistic people in seeing things as white hats and black, but there is something worse in seeing, and that is everything as grey hats (subjectivism). Once the cowboy myth is gone the unchristian people are culturally defenceless to protect themselves with a unifying way to work together, for cowboys are straight talkers, and without straight talk about problems we are instead left to the effete ways of understanding everyone’s feelings and emotions and not upsetting them. How will logic get us out of that hole we are doomed to fall into if we cannot talk and shoot straight?
