How the Dutch conquered the North Sea
one massive oak windmill at a time

Blazing Reader,

This evening, I board a plane for the Netherlands to take a break from work and explore Amsterdam with a dear and daring friend.

And the Netherlands is a daring country. I'm in total awe with how, four hundred years ago, its people had the audacity to reclaim 1600 square kilometres of land from the North Sea. Like, really, who wakes up one day and thinks: "Why don't we build massive oak windmills to power pumps to drain away the ocean so we can plant more wheat?"

I'll be back on Monday, returning to work on my less audacious but daring novel, Brave New Normal — (now that All the Humans Are Sleeping is published).

While I'm enjoying the works of Vincent van Gogh with my beautiful Dutch guide, I'd encourage you to consider travelling to...

...Mexico for The People's Reset in 2025. Check out their newly published schedule of events. Remember, if you purchase a ticket and send me the receipt, I'll gift you a signed copy of All the Humans Are Sleeping at the event (see my special offer).

...Australia (virtually) to watch this lecture where an Australian professor is speaking through tears as he explains how the SV40-contaminated mRNA injections are causing rapid tumour growth ("turbo tumours") as has never been seen before.

...Scandinavia via my new novel All the Humans Are Sleeping — which is primarily set on Mt. Jiehkkevárri in Northern Norway. Stock up on copies here — its eerie cover is the perfect stocking stuffer after three weeks of Christmas cheer.
