Are Dimond Brothers Pro-Putin?


Does “Return To Tradition” (Anthony Stine) Buy Fake Views?

1:13 Two comments.
a) Wanting to live off content providing is perfectly licit, it is uncharitable on either side against other or against me to hold it - or against someone else eithgr. Wanting to be known is not good, but a baker wants his bread to be known in the neighbourhood he's selling in, and a content provider has a less dense population of clients, and therefore a need for a wider audience. You may be independent of gifts, but this may not be known to all;
b) I think clergy (even if invalid, they have that social position, right?) of the Vatican II Sect can often use aggressively uncharitable statements against someone disagreeing with them, and get it promoted through laity who go to their (invalid?) Mass or get their (invalid?) absolutions. For instance, there has been an urban legend that Pope Michael was mentally ill. Even if you consider him a fraud (and me too) for not being Feeneyites, you can admit he was (apart from the final month after a stroke) functional and able to organise people around him, so that allegation must be false. I specifically asked someone who made a documentary if it seemed to her he had such social inhibitions as ongoing treatment would imply, and she had no idea of any such thing.

1:23 Yeah, like, he is probably repeating some kind of hate speech from his clergy.

I recall a little history in Sweden, the friend of mine who woke me up to Trad themes (I had congratulated him to his conversion Novus Ordo) told me such a French Dominican had told him of Trad literature "worse than pornography" - technically true if it is heretical, but I don't think that he was totally into providing specifics on what canon of what session condemned the positions in specie, independently of who was Pope.

2:39 If clickfarms have been used to boost me or comment, I cannot deny, I can just say, I had no means myself to pay them, in case you think of exposing me ...

[added successfully:]

When I say "I cannot deny" I can also add, I cannot confirm, meaning even to myself.

Some few cases I have seen clicks coming from sites I haven't visited, and which are much visited (a high ranking component of internet content, not very good for women in this life or souls in this and next life).

3:09 I can say, someone has been trying to lower my Alexa rank. Late december, my blogs (overall 40+, but some very little visited) sank from 3000 / day to a trickle.

4:40 I don't have twitter.

10:23 Viganò is heavily pro-Putin and has not condemned Putin for the Sputnik V vaccine and for allowing no med pratitioner in hospitals (I think there are very few private ones) to be without it, while labasting Pfizer / Moderna for, among other things, aborted fetal cells.

I am ashamed of Pfizer doing that, since a kind of extended family was doing his carreere on Pfizer. But I grudge a man holding this against Pfizer, when viruses cultivated on fetal cells were used:
  • for initial research of each strain specific vaccine (so it is still ongoing)
  • for testing efficacy of vaccine (badly enough, since vaccines should rather be tested against viruses out there)
  • but NOT the prouction of every dose


and then NOT holding this against Putin when Sputnik V as a Classic vaccine has pathogens (dead or disactivated) in every dose, and these pathogens are in the case at hand viruses, cultivated on fetal cells.

If you want a source for my claim about Putin's vaccine, check:
NYT, International edition, Tuesday Aug. 4 2020, I forget which page.

While I'm awaiting the next Pope from Vatican in Exile, I hope it's not Viganò, for this reason, and also hope it's not me, I intend to get married, and teeth lost while I was exposed right and left as a fraud (but not to my face so I could defend myself) and lived on in the street and needed more coffee in high quantities with sugar, I would rather bet on some girl forgiving me that, than risk committing a sacrilege with the chalice.

11:22 Assorted retorts
Viganò 9 hits
Vigano 7 hits
New blog on the kid
Viganò 9 hits, including a draft about his Bethlehem declaration and one index post
Vigano 8 hits, including one coincidence with previous even at first look and two index posts, one of which may also coincide

I think he should be absent from all other blogs of mine. Checked on Φιλολoγικά/Philologica with both spellings, latest actual article deals with there being no case for Abraham being an idolater.
Acts 7:4, if Abraham was born when Terah was 70, is it the spiritual fatherhood of Sarug, who died to the flesh when Abraham was 50, or the spiritual death of Terah, who may have only in Harran (also across the river Euphrates!) committed idolatry for a remarriage (we know he was married at least twice, Abraham and Sarah having different mothers, Gen 20:12).

Second highest, same blog, I argue against the position of Romanides (defended by a fan of his in comments to an earlier article of mine) that Rome from the time of Aeneas and Romulus spoke Greek.

Third highest, same blog, demonstration from l'Ancien Régime that the 14 / 12 rule was not just Quixotic theory, but teen marriages were in fact promoted in cases they were affordable, as was the case with royalty - probably as well as classes lower than bourgeoisie who needed less investments to start a household.

Φιλολoγικά/Philologica has 974 published articles.
New blog on the kid 3039 (my latest main blog, which means it includes more hard to classify and boring stuff than any other blog, bit not that it is only that)
Assorted retorts 1739 published.

On these three less than 33 Vigano, either Italian or English spelling.

[tried to add:]

For comparison, the search Dimond brothers on Assorted retorts gives 24 hits. Including 5 with the label of your channel. Two others include the label and not the "Dimond brothers" ...

I learned about Ravi's death from you.



[This is how I discovered that both of my primary comments after the 4:40 timestamp one had been deleted, perhaps Dimond Brothers don't like Putin criticism?]



Other question: can they be contacted?

I tried finding the email to them on a post on Correspondence blog, but it was from 2013, when I had another email on voila.fr (no longer extant) and the actual post does not include their full email.

I tried their site, but whenever I scroll down to the bottom of their pre-views, there are more pre-views of videos that pop out below the limit I had reached and they hide the bottom of the site.

Ah, found it in my correspondence, two mails they didn't answer.

[resuming the watch]

12:09 Apologetics is certainly a fair trade to make a secular living off.

It is not reserved for clergy and monastics, as it seems St. Justin Martyr and also St. Thomas More were neither.

Chesterton was an Apologist (among other topics of writing, including Distributism - it's called propriétarisme in French - and Ruralism and Medievalism). Now, what exactly was his state in life?

Married layman, precisely as Anthony Stine.

What was his profession? Someone writing to get paid for that - since the time he gave up painting.

What Church did he die in? In 1936, the Catholic Dioceses of England had not yet started to promote the wicked idea that Adam could have biological ancestry, so, he died in the Catholic Church.

What was the Church's attitude to this? He was made a Knight Commander with Star of the Order of St. Gregory the Great, by Pius XI, who, for all his concessions in politics, was at least orthodox and clearly a Pope.

13:49 I also am not monetised for my blog posts.
a) because I have another plan, blog to book
b) because blogger does not have that feature in the first place.

It is interesting that google owning both youtube and blogger makes it so easy to monetise youtubes - and not just is blogger not monetised by ads, but when I go to platforms for self publishing, giving links in the form of blog links is impossible.

Nevertheless, getting one's posts into a printer's office for commercial sales is not the least illegal. But it seems highly unwanted, and those knowing my situation have known for at least ten years that this is my plan for getting "a life" ... a coincidence?

20:02 As to your concluding words, I wonder how many have said such things, for instance as priests to parishioners or as well established successful and important parish members to younger and more marginal ones, but without posting anything I could rebut.

At least you have given Anthony Stine sth to respond to, if he likes, as he did with you.
