Time Text
I'm leaving Minneapolis now and heading to Denver.
Let's try to see some interesting things along the way.
I'm lost.
There's no water and food.
Been walking for days in this heat.
There's some Native Americans tracking me.
I'm trying to get back to the wagon I parked in the village.
I don't think I'm going to make it back.
If you receive this message before it's too late, please send a telegram to my family in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Tell them that I love them.
Goodbye, world.
I missed.
It's my beard.
Friends, this is it.
I've hit the end of the road.
My life is flashing before my eyes.
All of it was vanity.
Vanity of vanities.
It was all useless.
Except the five months that I served the Lord's will.
Five months out of 40 years, that was all that was good.
Before I go, I'm so weak, I can't talk.
Before I go, I just wanted to tell you the most important thing I learned about life.
And the most important thing I learned is that glory to God for making these rocks beautiful.
That's all there is here, is just rocks.
It's very hot, too.
I saw a black-billed magpie bird.
It had a huge tail feather.
There were some signs that said that the beginning of this Badlands was 500 million years old or something like that.
And I thought, nonsense.
Lies.
They can't even get the news of today right.
And you're telling me you know what happened 500 million years ago?
Give me a break.
All they have are theories and they present their theories as fact.
Only God knows how these formations were made.
Whenever I see informational signs about fossils and dating, I just ignore it.
They don't know.
and the arrogance of human beings to think that they do know how this was made.
These rocks, and they are just that, are more beautiful than any girl I've ever been with.
They are not distorted in any way by social trends, culture.
They are not inflamed by lust and passion.
It's just natural beauty for you to enjoy without any harm to yourself unless you slip and fall from one of the rocks.
I took a couple hikes.
They were a bit difficult, strenuous.
I'm sweating like a pig.
It's not a garden I've come to love, but it's still beautiful.
I highly advise you if you have the opportunity to come here.
It's the Badlands.
First named by the French because they were bad lands, not good for anything.
Well, in this modern time where all the cities are filled with ugliness, turns out these rocks are the most beautiful thing that you can find.
Amen.
And then you say, I think we're all on hell.
I'm in Rapid City, South Dakota.
It has a Western feel to it.
I think this is maybe considered the West.
It's not that bad here.
The old town has a rustic charm to it.
But I'm sensing a liberal vibe.
It reminds me of New Hope, Pennsylvania, like with the local artists and so on.
But it isn't that bad.
It isn't that bad.
I only saw one gay flag, but a lot of tattoos on the women.
The men seem masculine.
I think this is distorted because the Sturgis motorcycle rallies nearby and that attracts a lot of bikers.
So I don't think that's how it normally is here.
There's a lot of bikers.
And fun fact, I used to ride a motorcycle.
It was a Kawasaki Ninja 500, only 500cc, but it was fast.
And this was in my mid-20s.
But I had a problem of not riding according to my ability.
So I got into some dangerous close calls.
But now I'm seeing all the bikes and I want to buy one.
It's a pretty white town, a lot of white people, but there's also these down and out Native Americans who look like they've seen better days.
So they are milling around in the downtown area.
But there's not too much homelessness.
So I think Rapid City is a good alternative compared to some other places that I've been that has a rampant homelessness problem.
One last thing I can say about the really small South Dakota towns, ones that don't even have a main street, it's like going back in time 20 years.
I mean, it is, if you want to, if you wish for the old style United States, like before the internet, before all that, go to a dinky, dusty town in South Dakota.
You will get that.
You're entering a time machine when you come to South Dakota.
But it's cool.
It's cool.
I mean, this is a place.
If you don't want to be a farmer, but you want to be something like a cowboy, then, you know, you're going to have dirt and dust everywhere and just everyone has a pickup truck, then South Dakota is a good choice.
South Dakota was established in the late 1800s as an illegal settlement that was part of the gold rush So many people wanted to strike it rich with gold.
And then the town sprung up out of nothing.
So you got to see some of that gold rush architecture, which ironically enough is way better than modern architecture that we have now.
When this town came up, it was a place of drinking.
There were brothels.
So it catered to the men.
And what struck me is that when there is a new opportunity to commit a wrong, in this case, it would be greed to commit one of the deadly sins.
There is a flood of people.
Look at the social networking platforms that cater to pride, especially Instagram.
There's a flood of people.
Look at the social networking platform that caters to anger, Twitter.
where everyone is fighting everybody else.
Flood of people.
And I need not to say much about lust except when I went to a country and said, hey guys, there's some good-looking girls here that you can fornicate with.
Here come the flood of men to the point where I am recognized on the street more in Eastern Europe than in my own country.
Because these men have flown there to hit that gold rush.
Oh, easy girls that are beautiful.
So whenever you see some kind of trend, it's probably a bad sign.
Probably a sign that you should go in the opposite way.
Right now, there's the motorcycle rally in Sturgis, so you saw a lot of bikers, a lot of them.
I saw dikes on bikes.
I hate to say it, but all the women who were part of this biker crew were not attractive.
In some cases, the men were more attractive.
In most cases.
Because the women in the biker clubs, they try to do the same thing as the men in terms of the tattoos and the leather gear.
But it doesn't look good on them.
So what I saw with all of the bikers, you know, this is an identity.
First, you spend $20,000 to get a Hardley bike.
Then you buy the leather gear, the branded gear, then you get the tattoos.
It's an identity.
And it's a dying one because this was mostly an identity for the boomers.
Most of the bikers were indeed old.
Look at the younger people today.
The millennials don't know even how to drive a car.
You think they're going to buy a bike?
No, my beard's not straight.
And identity is this ache for purpose, but you find it in the wrong place.
You find it in the material world instead of the spiritual.
So here's my heart.
I bought it heartily.
I got the tattoos.
I got a leather jacket, and I'm going to the rallies.
I'm part of an identity, but why is my life still not fulfilling?
Because it's a false identity.
These bikers, they're not your fellow tribesmen.
They're fellow consumers.
You fell for a consumer identity.
So I believe that this is probably going to fade out.
In 20 or 30 years, you're not going to see that.
So I'm done with this.
gonna head now south from South Dakota and start entering Wyoming and Colorado.
It's hard to see it when you're 10 miles away from it.
The funny thing is that before came, before coming here, I bought a 80 yearly pass to the National National Parks, thinking that oh,
it's going to cover Mount Rushmore.
You get in a $10 parking fee, oh, and you can't use your national pass.
So I knew when they hit me with that $10 charge that it would be a big scam.
Mount Rushmore is part of the Black Hills.
This is a big park where you can drive through it, a lot of scenic views and trees, which is cool.
You can stop and do some hiking and look at some lakes.
But the highlight of it, Mount Rushmore, leaves me aching for more.
Everyone's like, it's a must-see.
You got to do Mount Rushmore.
I knew it.
Whenever the mob tells you that you have to do something, you got to do it.
You got to experience it.
It's a scam.
A bunch of tourists got suckered into it.
God knows how many thousands of miles they had to travel to see a rock.
It's just a piece of art, right?
So you can enjoy it for the art, but to travel, to pay.
You know, that anti-drone sign was more interesting than Mount Rushmore was.
Onwards.
Wyoming is amazing.
It's the place I always dreamed of.
I knew it was going to be special when I was driving through the eastern part of it down to Cheyenne and there was no cars.
I was thinking, where are the people?
This endless miles of this nobody.
And it wasn't a dinky road I was on.
It was a major state road.
Finally, peace.
This was the place where I was the most isolated out of anywhere driving down here.
In a state this big, there are something like 600,000 people only.
The biggest building in the state is 11 stories high.
And Cheyenne, which is one of the most populated cities in town, feels like a village.
I went back in time, 20 years.
No gay flags.
The only sign of modern civilization after the 2000s is tattoos.
There's quite a few tattoo parlors.
It's so peaceful here.
It's quiet.
No loud hip-hop blaring out of cars.
It's just an old-style Americana.
This is the kind of America that many people online dream of.
Well, it's here.
You can come here.
Just bring your wife with you because you're not going to find a girl here.
But everything else is perfect.
It's cheap.
There are jobs.
Wyoming is perhaps the best state that I have been to so far.
It's just peaceful.
That's all I can say.
I mean, the people are kind of cool too.
They're just wear jeans and you can tell they work with their hands.
I haven't seen many yoga pants.
It's just a cool place.
But I feel cooler having been here.
You know, people they see me with my big beard.
fit in here.
It's just you walk around and you don't see a lot of the problems that are prevalent everywhere else.
It's like, how did this place exist without me knowing that it was that good?
Now, of course, if you want to live like a rat, to fornicate with other rats, be entertained by other rats, then this is not your place.
Go to New York.
You know, other rats will be close to you.
You can live in filth.
But if you want to soar like an eagle, spread your wings over this beautiful land.
And I haven't even been to Yellowstone, which is in this state.
Soar like an eagle here.
No filth.
You can be on all on in your lonesome, just exploring the mass space.
No grime, no dirt, no crime.
You can even carry your gun concealed, open carry, whatever you want.
Most, I don't know the official stats, a lot of gun owners here.
Lowest crime.
Did you forget to lock your door?
You're probably okay.
It's too bad I can't stay long this time, but I'm going to swing back up to go to Yellowstone Park.
But so far, Wyoming, wow, this is a marvelous place.
I'm glad I stopped here
I'm so tired Is this tour over yet?
How many more stops I got left?
15.
Oh no.
Oh, I need a day off.
But Denver went well.
The event this time I did the talk, Q ⁇ A, and happy hour in one six-hour go, and it went well, except for the fact that there were five protesters.
There were four overweight women and one male ally of theirs who submits to their will.
And they were in front of the hotel holding signs saying that Rouch V is a rapist.
I am not joking.
And they came kind of late.
I think they had a gay pride event they had to attend first because they only got to the hotel about 10 minutes before the start time.
So only two guests of mine saw them.
And The report I got back, I don't have any photo.
The report I got back is that they were yelling at the building, yelling at the building like normal people, saying things like hate has no place here.
And at the same time that they took the time to make signs against me and go to this hotel and yell at a building, Jeffrey Epstein, who is the tip of the iceberg of a satanic pedophile ring in the United States that affects everyone in politics and the media, that is countrywide.
Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide.
So instead of going after the real pedophiles and rapists and whoever, they're trying to attack me for things I didn't do.
So that kind of gets three honks from me because that's how crazy you can brainwash people to attack a harmless bearded man instead of the real enemy who is trafficking in human beings.
I didn't see too much of Denver.
The way it looks like to me is that the older people here, the boomers, have this hippie vibe.
It's like a lot of aging hippies.
There is this new age feel to it.
But the younger people, they're just like people from any other city I've been to.
At least one thing about the boomers, they had the tribes.
You had the motorcycle tribe, the hippie tribe.
But now if you're under 30, it's just one tribe.
Or you're either in the left or the right, and that's it.
So you all wear the same clothing.
You act the same.
You're all addicted to your smartphones on the same apps.
It's like there's no variation among the younger people.
And so this, you know, you can just swap the people out from one city to the next.
It's like a clone army.
So what are Denver people like?
The younger ones?
I don't know.
They look the same just like anywhere else.
They're like actors on a stage put there for me just to observe.
The highlight of my stay in Denver is I went to the St. Herman Orthodox Church.
A couple guys at my talk, they invited me to come.
I'm really glad that I went.
The service was done in English.
This is the Orthodox Church of America.
And you can learn more about them by going to oca.org.
If you are a convert to Orthodoxy in the United States, chances are you're going to join this branch.
You're not generally not going to join the Armenian church, the Romanian church, you know, all these more ethnic-based churches.
So you're probably going to want to convert to the Orthodox Church of America.
And the things that they did, the liturgy is almost identical to what I have seen in other Orthodox churches.
So I had a chance to talk to the father, the priest of the church, and told him my story, received his blessing, which was nice.
So that kind of wraps up Denver.
I'm getting a little bit tired now.
I'm starting to feel it.
This is eight events in, but still got many more to go.
Now I make my way towards the West.
Salt Lake City is next.
This is going to be a small event, probably the smallest one yet.
So if you want to join that event, you can still buy a ticket.
Go to Roosh.live to buy a ticket.
And then after that, the West Coast and the West Coast, I'm sure I'm not going to get any protesters, right?
It's going to be completely calm.
So that's coming up soon.
