1000 times this. I've used the terms 'Optional Collapse' or 'Voluntary Collapse' before, to refer to my belief that the only civilisational collapse we're likely to see is one that we choose individually, by opting out of society. Their civilisation will continue in some form, and in many ways will appear stronger than ever (due to AI-surveillance, automated-everything, and the slavish obedience of the masses).

In 2019, a research programme sponsored by the UK Government issued a report called 'Absolute Zero' wherein it set out deadlines for the reduction of air and road travel, and meat consumption. The report also declared such things as:
"In addition to reducing our energy demand, delivering zero emissions with today’s technologies requires the phasing out of flying, shipping, lamb and beef..."
"The changes in behaviour to achieve Absolute Zero are clearly substantial. In principle, these changes could be induced through changing prices and thus providing clear incentives for behaviour to change."
The timeline also proposes a reduction in fertiliser use.
We've had 6 years of forced behavioural change and now, in the wake of the War on Iran, we have rocketing fuel prices which... incentivise a reduction in air travel, car travel and meat consumption. Since the (latest) war started, one of the largest oil refineries in America exploded, a Ukrainian drone strike hit Russia’s largest oil port, and Australia's Geelong oil refinery is producing at a lower rate since an 'equipment failure' caused a giant fire. Just coincidences, right?
Anyone who thinks the current chaos is unscripted, think again! Everything that happens on the national and international stage is designed to nudge us into the future that 'they' planned for us long ago.

Important reminder: We didn't begin to depend on oil for daily life until about 150 years ago. It is entirely possible to live well without it, if we're willing to re-learn old ways.

...chill yer boots, High-Tech-Heathens. I'm not telling you to give up your Hummers and AI toys. I'm just reminding followers of this channel that we're not actually dependent in terms of survival or even a wholesome life upon the thing which Globalists totally control. Do what you want with that information; ignore it for all I care. From a certain perspective, it's a white pill.

One of my favourite films is The Last of the Mohicans (1992). It may not seem so at first, but it is a profoundly folkish film (folkish, in the proper sense, not the 'RAHOWA' sense). Two aspects of the plot exemplify this:
*SPOILERS*
1) Hawkeye, played by Daniel Day-Lewis, is a white man adopted by the Mohican Chingachgook. Hawkeye grows to adulthood among the Mohicans, but only falls in love when he crosses paths with Cora Munro, a British woman. Despite being culturally almost entirely Mohican, his instinct is for a European woman.
2) The film/book's title is so because Chingachgook declares himself 'the last of the Mohicans' at the end of the film when his ethnically Mohican son dies. Hawkeye is still alive, his bond to his adoptive father as strong as ever. Yet Chingachgook does not ultimately recognise Hawkeye as Mohican (or else he would not proclaim himself the last of them), and nor does Hawkeye protest this.

The Draugr
Part II:
Like the draugr, AI can appear as human. It speaks, appears to use reason, and can even seem quite creatively talented. But it isn’t human. It is neither living, nor dead. It cannot imagine anything new—only string together things it has been trained to repeat. The previous diversity of art and ideas is gradually being reduced to an unremarkable mean which causes all images, writing, and music to appear the same.
I now see some people rushing into reliance upon LLMs to try explaining the depth of the divine connection to our gods, ancestors, and the world around us, as though a machine has any idea of what it means to have the gifts of life. When they go so far as to claim ownership of the “art” generated for them, it sows seeds of distrust about the authenticity of all interactions. Now the people simply repeat what the draugr repeated first, severing themselves from the ecstatic connection which once motivated them to take chances at being vulnerable with self-expression.
We are saturated in an environment where opportunities for sacred connection have become depersonalized and commodified in the name of “content.” This sad affair is only going to increase, so long as we use mass media to communicate.
But in a time where it’s already extremely difficult to form lasting and meaningful relationships with other people, do we really want all of the books, illustrations, and music about our ancestral faith to be made by soulless entities which masquerade as human? How could we even claim a right to these things being our culture if it no longer comes from our own folk—themselves being the dynamic conduit for our ancestors and our gods?
We must fight this while we are still in the early days of this technology. If we want our children to stand above this mediocrity, we must set an example for them to follow. This example must be one of attentiveness, resourcefulness, and self-authorship. As fewer and fewer people think for themselves, our descendants will remember how to truly be children of Midgard, and will not be so easily swayed by placating phrases nor fall victim to the digital draugar which prey upon our folksoul.
So practice your writing skills. Practice drawing. Make your own music. Even if you doubt your own abilities, the crafts from your own hands are of infinitely greater value than ones which require no inspiration or effort. A gift demands a gift, so let your own creativity be what repays the gods!

THE £3,000,000,000,000 ILLUSION 🇬🇧
Did you know the UK government doesn't "find" money before it spends it? It creates it.
When the banks needed saving, foreign wars needed funding or immigrants need housing the money appeared. The Bank of England didn't check a savings account—it typed numbers into a computer.
The "Hard Truth" about our National Debt:
The Creation: The government spends "new" digital money into the economy.
The Label: They call the money they haven't taxed back yet "National Debt."
The Bill: They tell YOU that you owe £2.9 Trillion and must pay record-high taxes to cover the interest.
Right now, we are paying OVER £100 BILLION a year in interest—mostly to private banks owned and run by a small parasitic group — on money that was created from nothing. That’s more than we spend on our entire education system.
The big question we need to start asking:
If the government can "keystroke" billions into existence for bailouts and bombs and immigrants why is the cupboard always "bare" when it comes to our people and our needs?
The money is "made up," but the struggle for taxpayers to pay for it is very real. It's time to pull back the curtain on how this system actually works.
Stop falling for the "Household Fallacy." A country with its own central bank cannot "run out" of its own currency. It only needs the political will and system free of usury.

There’s a proverb in the Heiðarvíga saga, “Nýsir fjarri, en nær sjaldan”, the fool is busy in everyone’s business but his own. A more literal translation would be “(The fool) looks far off, and seldom near”.
There’s a few ways one could read this; not only as remembering we are not free from faults, as it says in the Hávamál, and conquering these faults, but also as being about intentional living.
It seems that those with the strongest opinions are always the ones doing the least with their own lives.
Instead, one should seek to cultivate honour and influence within your sphere of influence, among your Folk, and become worthy of your ancestors, and an ancestor worthy of your descendants.

Here are the wonderful lyrics for the song 'Evensong' by Phil Reddall; a song which was showcased at the end of the new Fyrgen Podcast.
Evensong
By Phil Reddall
Evening comes, the last bird sings, And disappears on weightless wings
While the ash tree dances on the breeze, And Sunna leaves the sky
Distant sounds as the children play, Shadows chase them far away
Stillness creeps across the fields, The Solstice passes by
That meadow scent we know so well, Might the land a story tell
To those who pause and listen to, That whisper on the wind
Oh the drinkers drink as the fiddle plays, The night passes by in a musical haze
And the dawn is simply hours away, So live for now and sing
And I know things are tough ... you might feel like giving up
That's not our way ... step outside ... breathe the air ... come alive!
Life means more than words can tell, Poetry flows like a magic spell
The earth moves round the sun once more, Another year gone
The oak leaf turns from green to brown, Curling up then falling down
Nature's laws are a metaphor, Time keeps rushing on
Lessons there for all to see, Yet life seems like a mystery
Forget to love ... forget to play, A lifetime slips away
So gather round you friends of mine, Drink the last of the summer wine
Make a plan ... see it through, And start a brand new day
And I know things are tough ... you might feel like giving up
That's not our way ... step outside ... breathe the air ... come alive!

Things seem to be changing on the Digital ID front whilst we're all distracted by Iran and fuel prices.
Reluctantly, due to work, I tried to create a new gmail address today. It's no longer possible to do without a phone, because Google demands that you verify identity using a smartphone.
Whilst trying to find a loophole, I saw this help article (screenshot, above).
I also heard today that UK Parliament has voted in favour of restricted Internet access for under-16s. Of course, the real reason is to require people of all ages to show proof of age/identity before accessing the Internet, which will quickly become a requirement.

The brutal truth is that almost none of the millions of people who 'say no to digital ID' will actually avoid digital ID. It's already here, and if in a month's time we all have to prove our identity to access the Internet, who will say 'no'?
I wouldn't be able to say 'no', because as things stand, I rely partially on the Internet to feed my family. if you're able to say 'no', more power to you. May you stand forever.
We should have been figuring out years ago how to make money offline, how to manage money offline, how to shop offline, how to socialise offline, how to be entertained offline.
It's never too late to figure that stuff out, but it becomes harder to escape once we've already surrendered to it and bought ourselves the convenience of compliance.

MSM touting 'Terror attack highly likely' today. The usual bogeymen of 'Islamic Extremists' and 'the Far-Right'.
I don't need to remind any of you that if something happens, it's a staged or false flag event to garner more state support and protection for Israel and the Jewish community, and/or more state surveillance measures. It may even be what's 'needed' to bring The Yookay to war against Iran.
