“There is a fascist way of being antifascist, is a reflection that arises from seeing how, often, the accusation of being fascist is used, in the most varied contexts. as a low-key dialectical argument to close a discussion for which one has no case. Perhaps it is because when all one is capable of doing is opposing an idea one ends up representing that same idea in the mirror.”

“Legacy Letter from Beta Metani-Marashi Palm Coast, Florida – October 15, 2025 To my children, my grandchildren, and those who will come after, I did not survive communism so you could live in its shadow. I did not cross oceans, endure loss, or rebuild my life twenty times so you could forget what tyranny looks like when it wears a friendly face. I was raised in a world where truth was punished, faith was forbidden, and family was fractured. We were told what to think, what to say, even what to feel. I escaped that world—not just for myself, but for you. Now I see the same tactics repackaged in new slogans. They call it progress. I call it a warning. You must never forget: freedom is not inherited—it is earned, guarded, and passed down like sacred fire. It lives in your choices, your courage, and your refusal to be manipulated by fear or flattery. You will be told that resistance is hate. That tradition is oppression. That questioning is dangerous. Don’t believe it. I built this home as a sanctuary. Not just of walls and windows, but of values. Faith. Family. Legacy. You are the heirs of that sanctuary. And you must protect it—not just with words, but with wisdom. I don’t wish my past on anyone. Not even those who oppose me. But I do wish you the strength to recognize tyranny when it smiles. And the grace to fight it without becoming it. You are my greatest testimony. Live boldly. Love fiercely. And never forget where you come from—or what I left behind so you could rise. With all my heart, Beta”

“Why do people have mid-life crises? It’s because they don’t know who they are. And suddenly they realise time is running out. They have to fight to be authentic, to be REAL. All the time, people are having breakdowns brought on by identity crises. They have lived their lives in bad faith. They have been fakes and phonies, frauds and impostors. They have impersonated human beings rather than actually being human beings. They have spent their whole lives in a state of alienation from themselves and from God. Isn’t it time we saved the human race from the controllers, the brainwashers, the identity constructors? People can never be free until they are free to become who they really are. As Nietzsche said, “We want to become those who we are – the new, the unique, the incomparable, those who impose on themselves their own law, those who create themselves!” Is that not the formula for a new, free world, a world of Supermen and Superwomen, a transformed world of individuals on the path to divinity? Revalue all values. Abolish Abrahamism. Abolish the control machine.”
