00:00:00.000 The FBI investigated me. Now this was actually back in 2022, in August. I got two emails, one from Meta, so Facebook, one from Google, both saying the same thing, that they had given out information about me to an agency, and the agency was the FBI.
00:00:18.540 Now at first I thought, is this some sort of spam? Is it even legit? Then I looked into it, and yeah, turned out to be legit. So then a profound sense of unease hit me. Now by this stage, 2022, I'd been in the game for many years, taken a lot of heat, taken a lot of hits already.
00:00:37.380 Now, nothing came out of the investigation, because yeah, of course, I've done nothing wrong. I don't know what the investigation was all about, but even so, it felt quite bad, to be honest.
00:00:48.560 Now in terms of an actual outcome, I'd been hit a lot harder before this, so back in 2019, demonetized on YouTube, which I'm still, by the way, shadow banned on YouTube up until quite recently.
00:01:03.480 No, I'm not, by the way, so that feels good. Had my Patreon removed in 2022. Had my Instagram account, my first personal one, removed in 2021. That was a big hit.
00:01:15.060 Subsequent removals of LegioGloria accounts on Instagram, removal of my Facebook account, those were harder hits in terms of a direct outcome.
00:01:25.280 But in terms of a sense of unease, just sheer unpleasant, a sheer unpleasant experience, that was probably top, in the top.
00:01:37.860 Now when I think back over all of these years, that was probably one of the most unpleasant sensations, finding out that the FBI had looked into me.
00:01:46.260 And also, by the way, since I have declined a few invitations to the U.S. over these last few years, now you know, and you also know why I decline if you want to invite me again.
00:01:57.340 Perhaps things are different now, but I'm not sure I want to take any chances by going to the U.S.
00:02:03.180 So, yeah, I still remember when it dawned upon me that they were investigating, or they had investigated me, so this must have been in 2021 or something like that.
00:02:13.320 Still, I have no idea what it was all about and nothing came out of it.
00:02:17.080 But still, I didn't know it back then, so I remember I said to Julia, you know, I'm just going out for a little while.
00:02:22.260 I went to a place where I spent a lot of time during my childhood, so I sat there and I reflected upon my path.
00:02:29.920 And I said the same thing to myself then, as I say now, that I've only ever gone along the path of honor.
00:02:35.940 I'm quite literally an angel and I've done nothing wrong.
00:02:39.060 So this is good to remind yourself of when you are, well, I wouldn't say attacked really, but it didn't feel good at all.
00:02:49.440 All the same, even though, yeah, it wasn't a direct attack or anything like that.
00:02:53.680 But it can be good to have that, you know, spiritual integrity in you that you could always rely on your very essence,
00:03:01.020 that you know yourself, that you're a good person and you go along the path of honor, then all will be well.
00:03:07.540 Now, at this stage, 2022, I had already been the subject of quite a few hit pieces in the media.
00:03:13.360 And the hit pieces, they can come with a sense of unease, but you will also get, you know, new followers
00:03:19.480 and a bit more fame and a bit more exposure and everything like that.
00:03:23.540 So it's a double-edged sword.
00:03:24.900 You have to live with the sense of unease with a hit piece, but you can also use it to your advantage,
00:03:29.980 which I've done over all of these years.
00:03:32.200 So many followers, they've come to me through the mainstream media.
00:03:35.500 So, yeah, shout out to mainstream media for all of the exposure over all of these years.
00:03:42.780 So, anyway, I thought to share a few insights that relate to this unpleasant experience.
00:03:50.020 So, first and foremost, I've talked about stoicism in the past,
00:03:52.940 and I've said that stoicism should not be your primary philosophy of life,
00:03:58.000 because it's a very passive and defensive thing.
00:04:00.580 But sometimes you can utilize it.
00:04:02.980 So, in this particular case, when I found out about the investigation,
00:04:07.440 then I, yeah, I brought out the shield of stoicism from my armory,
00:04:12.420 and I held it, held it out, and I said to myself,
00:04:15.320 it is what it is.
00:04:16.480 It is what it is.
00:04:17.500 Sometimes you just have to accept things as they are.
00:04:21.200 Not much to be done, to be honest, than to just, you know, keep pushing through,
00:04:24.980 which I did, and I'm glad that I kept my composure and everything like that.
00:04:29.600 I kept grinding, kept pushing, everything like that.
00:04:32.860 So, in some situations, it's good with stoicism to take out, to, you know,
00:04:37.780 take it out from your armory as a shield to protect yourself.
00:04:41.100 But otherwise, you shouldn't have it as a main philosophy,
00:04:44.540 because it's quite passive, and, you know,
00:04:47.560 you need a high thumos, Norman attitude to life that you want to go forward and conquer.
00:04:52.820 So, this has always been my primary philosophy.
00:04:54.940 So, I'm LARPing as a medieval Norman knight in Italy.
00:04:59.560 Good stuff, good stuff.
00:05:00.800 If you haven't listened to my podcast episodes about the Normans in the South,
00:05:04.760 I suggest that you do so.
00:05:06.780 So, anyway, that about stoicism.
00:05:08.700 A second insight I probably would have come to anyway,
00:05:12.920 but maybe this experience, it sped up my conclusion here,
00:05:17.820 and that is that you can't escape the Matrix.
00:05:20.300 You can't escape society.
00:05:22.960 You can't go off-grid.
00:05:24.100 You can't expect to be left alone.
00:05:25.740 It's a very naive thought to think that you can escape.
00:05:28.540 Actually, there are cases when you can go off-grid,
00:05:30.940 you can escape the Matrix,
00:05:32.020 but then you have to live your life like this.
00:05:33.900 You can't impose your will on the world.
00:05:35.900 So, for me, I need to be true to my archetype,
00:05:38.400 the archetype of the enlightened despot,
00:05:41.000 of a philosopher prince.
00:05:42.080 Then I need to work on behalf of my people.
00:05:45.260 Simple stuff.
00:05:46.080 And I know then that I will take heat,
00:05:48.080 and I will be subject to these unpleasant experiences.
00:05:52.040 So, it really came as no surprise either
00:05:54.180 to be the subject of an investigation,
00:05:56.120 to be the subject of hit pieces,
00:05:57.780 to take heat and hits.
00:05:59.840 It's part and parcel of the journey of the enlightened despot, I suppose.
00:06:04.300 So, it's all to be expected.
00:06:07.260 So, if you have that ambition in life,
00:06:09.740 which I certainly do, I'm not content with
00:06:12.960 letting my people be tormented in every which way.
00:06:16.380 Not a day goes by without you hear some horrific crime
00:06:19.460 being committed against, you know, our people.
00:06:22.760 I'm talking about the Europeans in a broad,
00:06:24.920 broadly speaking.
00:06:27.340 And, of course, I want to ensure
00:06:29.140 the well-being of the Swedish people
00:06:31.460 in the most immediate sense.
00:06:33.920 So, regime change in Sweden, it needs to happen.
00:06:36.740 Simple stuff, really.
00:06:37.680 So, if you embark upon this quest,
00:06:39.960 you will have to deal with these things.
00:06:45.180 And, yeah, you can't escape the matrix.
00:06:46.800 We need to contest these institutions of power.
00:06:49.360 I've talked about this before at length
00:06:51.200 in videos and podcasts,
00:06:52.760 so I'm not gonna talk more about it now.
00:06:55.180 But, yeah, there is no escape.
00:06:56.420 We need to engage.
00:06:57.180 We need to engage politically.
00:07:01.080 We need to engage in the institutions of power,
00:07:04.060 in the security apparatus.
00:07:05.180 Otherwise, we will have less than good individuals,
00:07:08.840 to put it politely.
00:07:09.980 And they will use these positions to...
00:07:13.140 For nefarious purposes, to put it like that.
00:07:17.240 Now, another insight,
00:07:18.380 and this is something I've talked about
00:07:19.700 quite a lot over the last while,
00:07:22.000 is that Europe needs to be strong.
00:07:24.720 Optimally speaking,
00:07:26.080 if my wishes come true,
00:07:27.560 then we will have a strong USA
00:07:29.840 that looks out for the well-being
00:07:31.480 of heritage Americans
00:07:33.640 and everyone, of course,
00:07:35.720 who contributes in a positive manner
00:07:37.520 to the United States
00:07:39.560 and the EU,
00:07:41.520 and a good EU,
00:07:42.620 not the EU as we have it now.
00:07:44.040 But my hope is that we can be allies,
00:07:46.400 which is, you know,
00:07:47.100 the natural and normal thing
00:07:48.500 because we are of the same blood.
00:07:50.160 So it's normal that we should be allies
00:07:51.980 and this is my wish.
00:07:53.820 However, that is a wish
00:07:55.040 and maybe I'm too optimistic
00:07:56.580 in my dreaming here.
00:07:58.920 Even if we have a benevolent administration
00:08:03.240 in the US,
00:08:04.440 nothing says that...
00:08:05.720 There's nothing to say that
00:08:06.920 the next administration will be good.
00:08:09.080 So we can't rely on the US 0.92
00:08:11.440 being an ally of Europe
00:08:13.480 because we don't know
00:08:14.400 what the next regime will bring.
00:08:16.140 Maybe they will be very bad 0.70
00:08:17.380 for white Americans. 0.74
00:08:18.200 Maybe they will be bad for Europeans in Europe. 0.94
00:08:21.280 So Europe needs to be strong.
00:08:22.700 And I thought about it
00:08:23.980 when this happened
00:08:25.100 that if the FBI were to say
00:08:28.840 to Zappo in Sweden
00:08:30.180 we want you to give us this individual
00:08:33.920 because he has been mean or whatever,
00:08:36.240 would Sweden be strong enough to say no?
00:08:38.520 I don't think so.
00:08:39.780 I am a very patriotic Swedish man
00:08:41.900 but I need to be honest with everyone.
00:08:44.860 I need to be honest with myself.
00:08:46.120 I don't think Sweden is strong enough to do this.
00:08:48.200 So therefore we need to be in a union.
00:08:50.140 A European Union 0.91
00:08:51.640 and not the European Union
00:08:53.380 as we know today. 0.96
00:08:54.800 So the dorks, 0.95
00:08:57.520 to put it mildly, 0.99
00:08:59.040 the unprofessional and non-serious people
00:09:01.140 in Brussels and Strasbourg,
00:09:02.620 they need to be replaced by
00:09:04.040 good individuals
00:09:05.840 who can actually make Europe strong again.
00:09:08.420 So this is of paramount importance
00:09:10.260 and I've talked about it before as well.
00:09:12.620 So if you want Europe to be strong
00:09:14.300 then we need to get serious
00:09:15.320 and we need to be united in some capacity.
00:09:18.440 So I've talked about this in different places
00:09:20.840 so I'm not gonna talk more about it now
00:09:22.760 but yeah, that was at least an insight
00:09:24.560 that came to me
00:09:25.320 that if you want to project strength
00:09:27.480 then you have to have strength
00:09:28.800 and ultimately at the end of the day
00:09:31.560 the stronger you are
00:09:33.820 the more you can implement your will
00:09:35.540 and the weaker you are
00:09:37.420 the less resistant you can be
00:09:39.260 towards entities.
00:09:41.320 So the US and Sweden.
00:09:43.120 The US of course is a lot stronger
00:09:44.620 so were they to put pressure
00:09:47.360 and say, you know,
00:09:48.580 give this individual to us
00:09:50.080 would Sweden be strong enough
00:09:51.260 to say no?
00:09:52.640 Probably not.
00:09:53.620 But the EU definitely would.
00:09:55.560 So anyway, that all being said
00:09:58.300 you might wonder
00:09:59.180 how can I stay so high thumos
00:10:01.300 high energy
00:10:02.040 and optimistic and happy
00:10:03.400 despite all these
00:10:04.540 setbacks and unpleasant experiences.
00:10:07.220 Well, you can read all about it
00:10:08.460 in Demigod Mentality 0.57
00:10:09.540 which is my life's greatest work.
00:10:11.700 It will continue to be
00:10:12.660 my life's greatest work
00:10:13.820 up until I achieve regime change
00:10:15.820 here in Sweden
00:10:16.780 then that will be
00:10:17.760 my life's greatest work.
00:10:19.360 But anyway, do read it.
00:10:21.120 You can find it at legiogloria.com
00:10:23.400 and there I explain
00:10:24.420 how to approach life
00:10:26.080 in a high thumos fashion.
00:10:28.240 And also lastly
00:10:29.000 I want to praise myself a bit.
00:10:30.640 I'm using this
00:10:31.300 as an opportunity
00:10:32.080 to praise myself.
00:10:33.920 I'm spending my
00:10:34.980 this month's
00:10:36.500 narcissism points
00:10:37.520 to praise myself.
00:10:38.860 So look at how
00:10:40.480 I'm flourishing after all.
00:10:42.140 Look at my business endeavors.
00:10:44.100 Look at how I'm flourishing
00:10:45.400 in a very hostile environment.
00:10:47.080 Imagine what I could do
00:10:48.060 in a benevolent environment.
00:10:49.880 Imagine what I could do
00:10:50.740 with some wind in my sails.
00:10:52.780 So yeah, good stuff, good stuff.
00:10:55.300 So I'm quite confident
00:10:56.980 in myself knowing this.
00:10:59.600 So yeah, good stuff, great stuff.
