Video Transcript AI Summary
A Jewish journalist attacked my character to undermine Return to the Land, which promotes white intentional communities as a solution for preserving our way of life. Some claims in the article are true, but were portrayed to make me look bad. I didn't want to be president of Return to the Land, and would step down if needed.
The claim that I was recently making explicit content online is false. Over ten years ago, in my early 20s, I made explicit content with my wife. I wasn't a Christian then and lacked traditional values, leading to degenerate behavior, including drug use. I regret those mistakes and want to protect white youth from similar paths.
The journalist is trying to portray my actions as a grift, but we are building communities. I've confessed my past and ask for forgiveness. I was a moral nihilist influenced by society. I also got divorced, and while I don't believe it's generally good, it was necessary to mitigate harm. I'm moving forward and ask for understanding.

Speaker 0: A Jewish journalist released an article today attacking my character, trying to smear me. The intention was clearly to call Return to the Land as a whole in question. Return to the Land has been very successful in recent weeks, promoting the idea of peaceful, white intentional communities as a solution to our concern about our own preservation as a people. We want our way of life preserved despite changing demographics. We want safe communities for ourselves and none of that has changed.
All of that still applies. I will say some of the things in that article were true, but we should not fall for the same tactics again and again. The way that these facts were portrayed and added onto by unsubstantiated claims from unnamed persons, she was trying to paint me in the worst possible light so that you would lose faith in me and then return to the land by extension. Now, I've said many times, I didn't particularly want to be the president of Return to the Land. The core legal framework wasn't really my idea.
I was in the right place at the right time to help. And I was asked to help this project move along. I was a co founder. I was involved from the get go, but it's not my thing. So even if I am as despicable a person as this reporter is trying to paint me to be, I would be happy to step down and have someone else who's more qualified to be the president of RTTL do that.
I've said many times, I don't even want to be the president. But, regarding the specific claims that were made, she tried to paint it like until recently, I was making explicit content online, doing webcamming, and that is not true. Over ten years ago, in my early 20s, for about a year, a little less than a year, I did make explicit content with my wife at the time. That's true. And I wasn't a Christian, I didn't have the values I have today, I had some similar ideas, you know, some of what I believed today I believed back then, But I was lost like many young people are still lost today because I didn't have that grounding in traditional morality.
I wasn't raised in a strong Christian household. We attended church occasionally, but where was that moral foundation? You know, I questioned all sorts of things. You know, that's part of how you get to fringe politics too, is you're inclined to question prevailing norms. I extended that wider than many people, and I engaged in pretty degenerate behavior in my early 20s.
I was doing drugs at the time, I was just not in a good place. So, for the last decade, I have recognized the failures that my lack of foundational values led me to. And I don't want to see my children and other white young people go down those same paths. So I did make mistakes in my life. Serious mistakes that I regret.
And now a Jewish journalist is trying to dig up things from more than a decade ago to question whether what I'm doing now is in earnest. Her goal is to make it look like I'm doing all of this as some kind of grift, as some kind of trick. I mean, you can come out here and see what we're doing. We are actually building communities. I've actually organized this next phase, getting new communities established in new places.
I'm constantly on the phone, I'm constantly responding to messages, just ordinary people, media. I've done what I could since I stopped working full time and before that I you know, donated countless hours trying to promote this cause. Not because I thought I was a purse a perfect person and moral exemplar that everyone else should follow, but because I believe in the cause. You know, we deserve our own spaces. If we voluntarily want to perpetuate our identity, we should be allowed to do that unmolested.
So, yeah, I mean, shockingly, it is true that in my early twenties, I contributed to essentially the porn industry. Private streaming, never something with other people in the room, it was my wife and myself at the time. And it's wrong, but then again, have you ever watched pornography? If you have been a consumer of it, you're also guilty. Right?
It's not just producers that are guilty, it's also consumers. And part of the Christian religion is recognizing that we have all sinned. Right? I never said that I was a perfect person with a perfect history or past. So judge not, lest ye be judged.
He who is without sin cast the first stone, all the stuff in the gospels. I do ask for forgiveness. I confessed this actually when I first converted to Christianity on my YouTube channel at the time. So I didn't continue to bring it up over the years. That was an unfortunate episode from my early life that I didn't want to think about, you know?
And I've been trying to lead a better life ever since and imperfectly, and I've made mistakes in recent times too. And maybe they'll try to dig up more mistakes that I've made, but everyone does make mistakes. Now, you can trust the way that this Jewish journalist is trying to paint it and think that I'm a con man or grifter or you can look at the fruits of what I've done and be willing to talk with me. Because that's one thing that I've always done. I've always been receptive to people who wanted to discuss differences of ideas or differences of strategies and plans.
I'm still perfectly willing to discuss best practices and how we can all move forward for a greater good. We're not going to have perfect people on our side. Everyone has flaws. Everyone has things they'd rather not have dug up about their past. And that's that.
I'm moving ahead as planned, building these communities. And nothing that she alleged in that article is illegal anyway. It's stuff that I did more than ten years ago when I was a nihilist, an avowed moral nihilist. I was doing acid, like every week, once a week. I was doing hallucinogenic drugs.
I had been put on a bad path by my own foolish mistakes in college, but also by the influence of the broader society. And I wasn't inoculated against it. I wasn't protected from it. That's why I want to build these communities. So that we can protect our young people and each other from these corruptive influences in our society.
There's nothing contradictory about that. The fact that I made mistakes when I didn't believe in traditional values and now I'm trying to preach traditional values. You'll find many a preacher with a sordid past. And I'm not even a preacher. I don't try to present myself as a holy man.
I do have a deep interest in philosophy in a scholarly way, and I'll deal with sources, and I have a commitment to the western tradition, and I think that tradition does elevate people in terms of virtue and intellectual ability. And so I'll keep trying to strive to be better and do better. That doesn't mean that I think I'm perfect and always have been perfect. That's just not true. So I haven't done anything like that for more than a decade.
And it's also true that yes, I did get divorced. I had a very difficult marriage, and I don't want to get into that, and it's really no one else's business. I don't believe that divorce is generally good, but in some cases when a relationship gets to a certain point, when it becomes damaging to the people in it, at least in my case I did what I could to try to mitigate the harm. And that's where we are. And I don't blame my ex wife for that.
I blame the dynamic that evolved between the two of us. And probably a lot of the negative things, that dynamic, started early on in the relationship when we were both living very immoral lifestyles. I'm trying to move forward in a better way as far as I can, and I'm sorry if anyone feels let down by this, but I'm just another guy, I'm just some person with a realistic human past. I mean, if I looked through your search history, would I find that you've always been a perfect person that made no mistakes? So we have to move forward, understand that we're going to have to meet each other where we are and look forward to try to do better.
And that's really all I have to say on it. Thank you for listening.
