How To Explode Into 2018 With The Driven Ferocity of Sacred Purpose
Start your New Year with conscious detonation.
I watched a video this morning of a man killed in a restaurant in front of his woman.
He was seated for lunch. Two men came in and sat in the booth behind, both facing him.
Then one got up, drawing an automatic.
He racked the slide and fired a shot down through the top of the man’s head in one motion. Then another shot to the side of the head as the man slumped, blood pouring from his mouth. The killers walked out as the woman stood up, helpless, her life changed forever and his ended with a quick and double bark of death.
Life ends quickly and without warning, and the dark world has no shortage of killers.
You are going to die someday and it may be just as sudden.
Have you achieved your sacred purpose yet?
How swiftly does your death approach?
Do you understand sacred purpose?
Your life is wasted without sacred purpose.
“I’m going to lose weight in 2018,” said the soyboy.
“I’m going to quit smoking in 2018,” said the cuck.
“I’m going to find my soulmate in 2018,” said the beta.
Those resolutions are weak and silly pronouncements. They are an ineffectual waste of determination, an avoidance of purpose, and a slithering abandonment of why you are here on this earth in this lifetime, this civilization, this age.
Think of the men who have changed history! What do they have in common? What separates them from the faceless, shapeless masses of humanity that neither achieve nor rise above their station to alter the course of events and empires?
Did Hernán Cortés wake up one morning in 1519 and promise himself he’d have sixpack abs in time for summer? Or did he burn his ships on the beach, invade a new continent, and establish immense and immortal glory and wealth for the Spanish Crown before advancing with fire and sword towards Tenochtitlan?
Did Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, sit at his desk in 1815 and make a resolution to improve his success with women? Or did he lead a magnificent, brilliant defense at Waterloo, permanently break the back of Napoleon Bonaparte and save the future of Europe from one of the most famous conquerors in the world?
Those men had sacred purpose!
They threw their lives down on the table with unconquerable ferocity!
Do you understand the difference between a weakling New Year’s resolution, and a sacred purpose for which you burn your ships and set the entire world on fire with unstoppable, unhestitating detonation of deliberately achieved fate?
Do you even have sacred purpose?

I live my life by sacred purpose.
I have shared my sacred purpose in How I Made Oath To The Dead Face Of My Father.
That vow I swore as I cradled his cold, dead face within my hands is with me every day.
The work I do in the dark world all stems from that moment of acknowledgement, from that clarity of vision, from that pivot of decision to throw away every bit of inhibition I had and hurl myself into the abyss of the dark world without looking back.
The Nine Laws was written as my field manual.
It is a harsh operating system for men and brothers to crack open the reality of the dark world, seize its levers, and begin to work the gears in the direction of my sacred purpose – and theirs.
The revelation of those levers and the truth of how they operate are what has made it a philosophy bestseller.
The Three Gates is underway as a grave and soaring call to action and power.
It is a manual that teaches men the layers and stages of this grim, shining and immortal Way that we walk in either defeated, chagrined uselessness – or glittering, immortal triumph.
Tumble and turn, my brothers!
Seize the dawn of the New Year by the throat!
Join us at the Immersion Forge .
Commit yourself to a life without regrets.

Together he and I will take the Immersion Forge attendees into an experience like no other.
We will crack open the chest of your spirit, and pull forth your own beating heart of sacred purpose. We will show you how to uncover it, connect with it, and throw away the scabbard and forever stride with joyous naked steel into a life without regret.

Sam Botta Announced As Narrator Of THE NINE LAWS Audiobook
No man is more passionate or qualified than Sam Botta.
DARK TRIAD MAN® and Ivan Throne are incredibly proud and honored to announce that the magnificent Sam Botta will be narrating The Nine Laws audiobook for release in late 2018.
Sam is a powerful, passionate man and his participation in this endeavor to bring The Nine Laws to a wider audience is an immense joy, and also the closure in full circle of a friendship that has inestimable value.
Many of our readers will know of Sam Botta’s voice acting skill from Rollo Tomassi’s work at The Rational Male. and his rugged good looks from the headline image by Brian Bernhard.
Sam is the narrator of Rollo’s bestselling books The Rational Male, The Rational Male – Preventative Medicine, and Rational Male – Positive Masculinity.
Sam’s story is incredible.
Explosive car crash, devastating injuries, and ferocious will that overcomes all.
Sam was in a horrific automobile collision several years ago.
Another driver rear-ended him at massive speed and shattered his health. Sam died several times and was resuscitated. But rather than surrender and pass into the night, he roared back.
Despite scores of strokes, surgeries, and now blindness in one eye, Sam fearlessly continues his work.
He recorded The Rational Male from his hospital bed in an act of sheer will and bursting life.
Sam is a living example of incredible human spirit.
That is why I asked him to do the audiobook for me one night in Denver. His powerful heart, his superb voice, his total understanding of what The Nine Laws means to me and to men, made him the perfect narrator.
He refused.
Sam Botta told me “no” at the best steakhouse in Denver.
“Ivan, it needs to be your voice,” he said.
“It’s your story, and the listeners need to connect directly with you.”
We argued back and forth over escargot and steak at Shanahan’s Steakhouse while my wife smiled at us both, and The Dog lay curled on the floor enjoying the incredible smells of a five star restaurant.
“People aren’t going to get past my accent,” I said.
“It’s the voice of God speaking through you,” he countered.
“Then what He says needs to come through a skilled voice,” I insisted.
Sam’s answer was still no. I was disappointed, but I knew he meant what he said.
That was over a year ago. And I have not been able to bring myself to do it.
Time is a funny thing. The ancient Greeks spoke of Chronos, the personification of time and its continuum.
The Greeks also spoke of kairos, the propitious and providential moment.
That moment has arrived.
Sam said yes.
Sam and I kept in close touch, and the now the time is right.
Sam’s brother is a world-renowned surgeon. Sam gave him a copy of The Nine Laws to read, and his response was immediate.
“You need to narrate this. Men need this! It needs to be out there in the world as quickly as possible.”
Sam and I talked again, and we looped Castalia House into the discussion. I instructed Castalia to immediately offer Sam the maximum royalties available. Within ten minutes we had a deal, and Sam has begun his work.
The audiobook will be released very soon. The preface of The Dying Child, and several chapters, are already recorded.
It will be as magnificent as Sam can make it, and I am filled with joy that he has agreed.
The spirit of the narrator comes through as he delivers the book into spoken words. With Sam’s passionate and powerful delivery, and his belief in my work, it will be priceless.
Sam will turn it from an audiobook into a sacred revelation from the bold and lovely human spirit he exemplifies.
Kairos indeed, my brothers.
There is magic in the world, divine and flowing, and it is by this living transmission of the heart that it shines best. The audiobook will be a standalone demonstration of art in itself. From the divine essence of heart to heart transmission, it now comes to you as a direct spoken work.
Sam now testifies The Nine Laws.
We talked for ten straight hours that first night until the dawn burst open.
I know without a doubt that Sam is the precise and perfect man to narrate The Nine Laws.
If you have not yet read the bestselling full length edition from Castalia House, you can read the original classic ebook for free.
I tell you today that the dark world is real, and so is the light that bursts from within it to conquer all.
Get ready for an immersion into the infinite depth of heart-to-heart testimony.
Shin-den, the ninja call it. “Divine transmission” from one sincere being to the next.
It is one of the highest forms of respect and love.
It comes quickly, my brothers.
From Sam and myself, to you.
Be ready.
Regards,

How “Refuse Fascism” Gutshot Itself In Horrid Lonely Failure
Refuse Fascism leaders fail badly as revolutionaries.
Table of Contents
1. Introduction
2. Framework
3. Identity
4. Propaganda
5. Dominance
6. Alliances
7. Conclusion
Nationwide protests called for by Refuse Fascism took place on Saturday, November 4th across the United States.
Heavily billed as the day “it begins” across social media, the expectation from organizers was that the day would see “millions of people pouring into the streets” to demand the resignation of the “Trump/Pence regime”.
After months and months of intense preparation and hysterical pronouncements, the day arrived. It was immediately and humiliatingly clear that the Refuse Fascism leadership had committed the unforgivable sin of any revolutionary – total, unmitigated and appalling failure.
In this post I dissect and discuss the grievous errors committed by these would-be revolutionaries.
Framework for analysis of the Refuse Fascism failure.
The dark world is an unforgiving place, and this is rarely as true as on the continuum of politics and war.
Refuse Fascism had a clearly stated goal: to put increasing numbers of people on the street until President Donald Trump and Vice President Michael Pence resigned. They believed those resignations would take place to stop the protests from continuing.
The organizers made several serious and blindly stupid errors as revolutionary commanders. These errors are related to identity, propaganda, power, and alliances. Failure in any one of these critical aspects of revolutionary coherence could have been shored up through competence in another.
However, Refuse Fascism did not possess such competence, and consequently gutshot itself before the world.
We will analyze the most significant of their errors in this post.
Let us begin.

Refuse Fascism prioritized political identity over practical competence.
Identity is an important aspect of politics.
Identity is what drives people to form groups, tribes, nations and cultures.
Refuse Fascism, however, made a crucial mistake. It relied upon niche identities to the exclusion of competence, and celebrated identity in lieu of demanding practical results.
Gay and lesbian identity was more important than the ability to organize fighting units capable of defending their personnel. Instead, these “revolutionaries” depended on the presence of law enforcement to protect their assemblies, thereby validating the stability of the State and vividly demonstrating incapacity to provide a reliable alternative structure.
Androgynous creatures in unicorn pajamas with foam battleaxes are not fearsome combatants.
Identity as a person of color meant more than skill in creating and disseminating viscerally engaging propaganda, fine-tuned to entwine, entrance and enthrall the crowd. Rather than put forward compelling and powerful speakers, they promoted posturing fools who represented the most marginal strata of society.
Bleating pronouncements from obscure social justice warriors with zero employable value are not gripping testimony in the markets of wealth, power or influence.
Pronouncements of inclusive victimhood, intended as display of inherent virtue, took precedence over examples of inspiring strength and success in material, social and political realms. Refuse Fascism discarded the inspiration of those who have overcome trials in favor of whines from the perpetually weak.
Hollow inflations of imaginary grievances by professional sufferers are not examples of sacred martyrdom before God.
Manufactured social identity is no replacement for real world skill.
Ideological identity is not reality. Reality matters in the dark world.
Refuse Fascism argued for complex ideological definitions of personhood instead of attaining actual success in what matters in the darkness. It ignored what men follow, what men attach to, and what women seek in the providers of their security:
Wealth, power and influence are irreplaceable.

Refuse Fascism repeated old, failed propaganda in place of marketing.
The most famous propagandist in human history was Dr. Joseph Goebbels of Nazi Germany.
His comments on the judgment of propaganda as good or bad are appropriate to review:
“One cannot determine theoretically whether one propaganda is better than another. Rather, that propaganda is good that has the desired results, and that propaganda is bad that does not lead to the desired results. It does not matter how clever it is, for the task of propaganda is not to be clever, its task is to lead to success. I therefore avoid theoretical discussions about propaganda, for there is no point to it. Propaganda shows that it is good if over a certain period it can win over and fire up people for an idea. If it fails to do so, it is bad propaganda. If propaganda wins the people it wanted to win, it was presumably good, and if not, it was presumably bad.”
From Knowledge and Propaganda
The most prominent propaganda theme from Refuse Fascism, which they heavily relied upon, was their slogan “In The Name Of Humanity”. This was an atrocious choice, and a singular failure upon which their house collapsed in deranged rubble.
Refuse Fascism does not credibly represent the voice of humanity. They are openly avowed revolutionary communists, and promote a model of social and economic horror responsible for over 100 million deaths in the 20th century alone. Leftist ideology inevitably results in killing pits and mass graves.
Even the uneducated masses know this, and instinctively reject it.
Refuse Fascism does not authentically speak for humanity. Their glorification of victimhood and concomitant spiral of virtue signal, based upon who can claim the most intersectional injury, instantly and completely separates their process of whine from the blanket aspirations of human beings towards a better life.
Even the poorest wage slave grasps that moans of weakness will not raise his value.
Refuse Fascism employed singlemindedly thematic, typically black-and-white written imagery. They thereby restricted their most critical propaganda channel to mere sterile delivery of data. It cut them off from the most crucial job of propaganda: connecting with the emotional demands and desires of the masses.
It is well known that the Left cannot meme successfully, but this was simple gutshot suicide.
Inability to capture the imagination of the crowd is unforgivable.
Failure to inspire the mind and heart is death for any movement.
Refuse Fascism stupidly restricted themselves to a dry, uninspiring framework of colorless slogans instead of engaging the full power of digital media. They abandoned the terrific power of humorous memetics that won the 2016 elections for the Right.
Feels good, man.

Refuse Fascism failed badly to establish any kind of ground dominance.
There is no substitute for establishing ground dominance and demonstrating command of real estate. All other revolutionary considerations are secondary to the actual capture of physical territory by the forces of the movement.
The tiniest, most ineffectual criminal street gang understands this.
The revolutionary commanders of Refuse Fascism have shown themselves to be ridiculously blind in preparation. Their teams were physically unimposing, visibly weak, badly equipped, and utterly untrained and uncoordinated. Clusters of individual incompetents were the hallmark of their exhibitions on November 4th.
In contrast, the ground dominance exhibited in Austin by responders on the Right was the result of training, experience, and high motivation by men with equipment, gear and coordinated discipline on the ground.
Refuse Fascism itself called this out:
#RefuseFascism learned something today:
DON’T MESS WITH TEXAS.
“250 armed militia” facing down #Nov4ItBegins activists.
That’s 250 HEAVILY armed militia, you worthless and ineffectual churls.https://t.co/QYgv1nUnoY is proud to have stood with patriot groups in #Austin today! pic.twitter.com/bDyEX4Vi3Y
— Ivan Throne (@DarkTriadMan) November 5, 2017
Revolutions do not reward operational incompetence with power.
Mao Zedong, absolute and uncontested first dictator of Communist China and one of the historic personalities who serves as inspiration for the “revolutionary communists” at Refuse Fascism, was unequivocally clear about the true source of real, operational power.
Refuse Fascism paid an ignominous price for abandoning Mao’s observation:
Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.

Refuse Fascism ignored the imperative to secure capable alliances.
Notably absent from the November 4th displays was any noteworthy presence of Antifa, Black Bloc or other violent Alt-Left groups such as Redneck Revolt, Huey P. Newton Gun Club and others.
One may decry violence, even abhor it as a means to political prominence, but the reality of the dark world is that violence and drama, blood and clashes in the street, are visually and emotionally compelling displays that viscerally impact and engage those who take part in and witness it.
By alienating the full array of street action groups among the Alt-Left from participation, the organizers of Refuse Fascism ensured that they stood alone against the disparate opposition groups which coalesced in response.
I have said it before, and will say it again.
Loners die, and armies win wars.
Those who will be your allies, who will stand with you and fight beside you against opposition and threat, investigate you more closely than those who oppose you. It is simply the reality of conflict among human beings. Refuse Fascism, under even mild investigation, is clearly little more than a front group for the Revolutionary Communist Party – which, in turn, is little more than a front group for the ideological egos of individuals such as Bob Avakian:
“In Bob Avakian, the Chairman of our Party, we have the kind of rare and precious leader who does not come along very often. A leader who has given his heart, and all his knowledge, skills and abilities to serving the cause of revolution and the emancipation of humanity.”
From Revcom.us
When your most capable allies abandon and disavow your intentions and plans, refusing to stand with you in a highly visible and bitterly contested arena, your likelihood of success is radically diminished.
Pursuit of prominence, driven by egotistical belief in unsustainable illusion, leads to gutshot defeat.
Advertising yourself as “Commie Jesus” does not improve that calculation.
Ego stroking is no replacement for cruelly guarded flanks.
The failure of Refuse Fascism is irreversible.
Their regional groups now openly surrender the battlefield:

Take part in the work of the Safe Streets Project.
I am Ivan Throne. I am the Dark Triad Man.
I tell you today that it has always been a dark world, and that the failure of Refuse Fascism does not mean that our existential cultural war has been concluded.
The collectivist totalitarians of the Left will continue to grope forward in the dark, searching for ways to return the initiative to themselves, and to occupy halls of official power.
Whither goes this cultural war, and what will we face in the days ahead?
I will share that with you in a coming guest post at Men Of The West.
Enjoy the humiliation and failure of a declared adversary on the street. Join the work we do with the Safe Streets Project, and connect with your brothers on the ground who make a difference in the trajectory of the new age.
View my InfoWars interview and consider what I tell you about the cultural war.
Read The Nine Laws and sharpen yourself into a weaponized human being.
Take part in our Ground Dominance training and be ready for the street.
It will grow hotter yet.

Texans Gear Up For Violent Antifa Riots
Join Ivan Throne on the ground in Austin on Nov. 4th.
The Refuse Fascism protests planned nationwide for this coming Saturday, November 4th have a specific resonance in Austin, Texas. The usual contingent of Antifa, Black Lives Matter and other violent protestors will be swarming at City Hall.
Central Texas is also home to Red Guards Austin, who openly call for the spread of criminal violence:
“The process of reclaiming violence is essential to undertake, and we must start now. To accomplish this work effectively we must smash liberal snobbery and go where the liberals fear to tread.”
“Reclaiming violence means making revolutionary violence available to be utilized by all types of comrades at all levels and all abilities.”
“The war is not coming—it is here and now. We must take our historic task seriously. We must accumulate forces and steel them in small-scale street battles. “

Safe Streets Project has been in coordination with patriot groups across Texas in preparation for November 4th, including delivery of Ground Dominance training for street unrest. On November 4th, we will be in Austin, Texas to lead and work with patriot groups on the ground.
If you’re in Central Texas, come stand with us.
Our preparatory work with Open Carry Texas, Texas Three Percenters, ACT For America, Texas Liberty Coalition and other groups comes to fruition on Saturday, November 4th in downtown Austin.

The Glittering Second Year Of Triumph For DARK TRIAD MAN®
My second year has seen vast and influential growth.
DARK TRIAD MAN® was launched on October 27th, 2015.
Two years ago today, not one person had heard of Ivan Throne.
The first year of my writing and work saw over 85,000 visitors to this site, 200,000 page views, 18 million Twitter impressions, thousands of followers on social media, and the release of my first book by Castalia House in early October of 2016.
The Nine Laws quickly raced up the charts and became a #1 philosophy bestseller on Amazon. Just over a year later it is still holding strong in the top 1% of all books on Amazon, selling thousands upon thousands of copies.
Today is the second anniversary of DARK TRIAD MAN® and I am very proud to share the success with you.
It is all of you who have made an even more triumphant second year possible.
The challenge of continuing a second year of expansion.
Organic growth for a blog is best driven by delivery of authentic, original content that captures the imagination and attention of readers. That content must continue to evolve, to push the readers into ever-higher realms of appreciation.
Without that growth, boredom eventually sets in and the work becomes stale.
But there are limits to this growth, most of them coming from the natural ceiling that is present in a one-man operation. Writing, website maintenance, social media presence, intake and analysis of news, spotting emerging trends, and other aspects of the work eventually become overwhelming.
One person cannot do it all, and this barrier becomes more notable as the struggle to evolve or fade descends upon the enterprise of the author.
Many of the examples that I called out in the last year as successful leaders in this industry have, themselves, gone through that transformation.
Mike Cernovich is now a major media figure. He has built such influence that the National Security Advisor to the President of the United States was forced to publicly address Security Council leaks finding their way to Mike.
Vox Day has continued his work as a political philosopher and expanded Castalia House through several consecutive years of doubling in size. Their new Alt★Hero campaign has swiftly raised well over $160,000 and brought in legendary figures such as Chuck Dixon to work on the explosive new comic.
Vox Day also released SJWs Always Double Down, another #1 political philosophy bestseller – and one that I am very proud to have written the foreword to.
This kind of evolutionary growth is critically important. It is not simply a driver of attention and influence, but also the very bedrock of exponential impact in the real world that must be the end goal of every serious endeavor.
DARK TRIAD MAN® itself has evolved past that barrier in its second year with notable successes and expansions of my work.
Some of it is public, and some of it is not.
The Safe Streets Project is both.

The Safe Streets Project has made impact that continues to ripple through the underworld.
Conceived of following observation by Mr. Swift that there were private military contractors present in the ranks of Antifa during the Berkeley riots over an appearance by Milo Yiannopoulos, the Safe Streets Project has become much more than a simple data repository.
Is has grown, with the professional support of the anonymous board, into an offensive private intelligence agency that also conducts training and provides behind-the-scenes consultation and coordination to patriot groups in both the United States and overseas.
Our work continues, and as the months roll by the depth of connections we make become more profound.
Be a part of the work of the Safe Streets Project.

Expanding my work into speaking engagements at the 21 Convention.
In addition to this site – and the difficult and sometimes dangerous work of the Safe Streets Project – the last year has seen my growth from writing into public speaking as well.
I had the honor to be a featured speaker at The 21 Convention in Orlando, Florida this past September.
In the company of such luminaries as Rollo Tomassi, Christian McQueen, Goldmund, Tanner Guzy, Jack Donovan, Hunter Drew, and many others – it was a terrific and unforgettable experience.
My presentation on Manhood, War and Salvation made a strong impact on both the attendees and presenters alike.
Anthony Johnson, CEO of The 21 Convention, paid an extraordinarily gracious compliment in tribute:
4 the 1st time ever @DarkTriadMan at #21con
My impression: Ivan carries himself /w the gentle stature of a greek god. Not 2 be fucked with. pic.twitter.com/xIiz2vfue5
— Anthony Johnson (@beachmuscles) October 7, 2017
He has also extended me an invitation to return as a speaker in 2018, which I immediately accepted. I look forward to an even more incredible event next fall, and to reconnecting with old friends and making new ones in Orlando.
And speaking of friends… before this post goes further, it is important to recognize certain individuals for their friendship, their guidance, their support and their partnership over the last phenomenal year.
Individuals to whom I offer my profuse and solemn gratitude.
Vox Day, the accomplished genius polymath who is both my editor at Castalia House and my friend and motivational driver. His support and constancy through the evolution of my work from blogger, to writer, to bestselling author and now public speaker and political actor is enormously appreciated.
Hunter Drew, the fierce and fiery man who has proven himself a superb friend and a stellar example of manhood, husbandry and fatherhood in our absolutely degenerate age. It is with immense thanks and sincere gratitude that I have taken his wise and consistent counsel in many areas of my life.
Anthony Johnson, CEO of The 21 Convention, is a tireless and ferociously motivated entrepreneur who combines the very best of passionate belief in his work with the professional competence of a man who builds for the long term. It was an honor and a privilege to be a speaker at this year’s event.
Rollo Tomassi, known far and wide as the Godfather of the Red Pill and author of the Rational Male, has exemplified through his work the challenging reality of not leaving your brothers behind. It is with abiding respect that I see the impact he has made – and the countless lives he has saved.
Larry Diffey, entrepreneur and founder of QuickFund, has been an integral part of my work behind the scenes in many areas, most importantly in taking over the technical administration and management of this site. Without his technology expertise and ready support, this site would literally have collapsed.
Joseph Katzman, editor emeritus of Defense Industry Daily, as always remains one of the brilliant minds that help to provoke and guide my insights into both the work at hand and the possibilities extrapolated into the future. He is the embodiment of the Law at my left hand, and irreplaceable.
Gabriel Swift, my friend and brother, above all is a founding partner in the work I carry out in this dark and tumultuous age. His ferocity and deadly competence are the bulwark that makes so much possible. His hands are trained to battle, and his arms can bend a bow of bronze; he is the fearsome Templar at my right hand.
My profound and deeply respectful thanks to all of you. You are each a pillar of the temple that was built in the second year of DARK TRIAD MAN®, and I am hugely grateful for both your friendship and your guidance.
Much of what they do is behind the scenes, and not visible to the public.
The acutely visible metrics of our second year success are on social media.

Success with the thundering storm of social media traffic.
There are several major successes for DARK TRIAD MAN® in the second year on social media.
Social media is where the work of promoting my writing and speaking, my teaching and training, is done. I do not buy advertisements nor do I offer affiliate sales to others in order to spread the word.
Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Gab and other platforms are where I spread news, analysis and commentary that brings readers to awareness of what I observe, how I interpret it, and where the momentum and trajectory of the new age is headed.
The second year has seen a doubling of growth across the board.
YouTube proved to be a viral medium almost immediately in the second year.
The launch of our YouTube channel in February was quickly followed in March with the first viral video.
With over 43,000 views and more than 370 comments, my confrontation with violent Antifa in Denver cemented in the public eye my willingness to confront hostile protesters in person, face to face, even though I am deaf and cannot judge the seriousness of their threats nor lipread through their masks.
But I can still take their flags right the hell away from them:
Metrics for the second year demonstrated massive growth.
DARK TRIAD MAN® has now had over 290,000 visitors and more than 728,000 views in two years. This represents massive growth over the first year’s respective figures of 85,000 and 200,000.
Twitter has grown from 18 million impressions and over 4,300 followers to 66 million impressions and over 9,600 followers. I still follow less than 100 other accounts, preserving the exclusive nature of those relationships.
Gab has grown from over 1,000 followers to more than 3,400, despite the horrific shrieks of self-declared Nazis on that platform who cannot understand why I am not impressed with their obtuse and idiotic trolling.
Facebook is still a casual platform, used primarily for private, non-secure communications. I still don’t track serious metrics there yet, and tend not to confirm friend requests unless mutual friends are able to verify.
Brutal Clips podcasts on Soundcloud now have over 8,000 listens (over 15,000 if you include four guest appearances), up from a little more than 1,000 one year ago.
Email subscribers are over 4,000 now, up from 1,600 at the end of the first year. That’s a strong mailing list to reach people with, and I am careful not to send too-frequent emails. If you are not already on it, make sure you join.
We will revisit these metrics in six months, and examine additional performance and growth.
Now we will turn to the future, and what lies ahead for DARK TRIAD MAN® in a spectacular third year.

Prepare to advance with fury into Year Three of DARK TRIAD MAN®.
More work with the Safe Streets Project, including potential appearance on the ground at in Austin, Texas at the November 4th Antifa protests. Additional Ground Dominance training will be conducted in the St. Louis area, likely in February of 2018.
Expanded public speaking engagements at events such as The 21 Convention next fall and potentially on the university circuit.
The Immersion Forge has been set for mid-January of 2018 and we are confirming exact dates with attendees. There are only a few slots left at this rare and powerful event – make sure you review the program, and determine if it is a good fit for you.
Our private forums in THE FORTRESS will be augmented and expanded for users.
The audiobook version of The Nine Laws will be released by Castalia House in a few weeks, just before the Christmas season. We will be announcing the identity of the narrator and more details as we get closer to the holidays.
Most importantly, there is a major addition to my work taking place.
The Nine Laws will have a successor in 2018.
Get ready for The Three Gates.

The Three Gates is sequel to the bestselling philosophy book The Nine Laws

Highlights from Ground Dominance Training with Mr. Swift in Texas
Check out some moments from the event in Austin.
Ivan Throne and Mr. Swift presented Ground Dominance training for Open Carry Texas, Oath Keepers, Texas Three Percenters, Act For America and other prequalified groups on October 21-22 in Austin, Texas.
Watch the brief video highlights below!
The event covered holding ground, advancing in ranks, retreating in good order and other special skills such as dignitary protection, team unity and extraction of individuals from mob violence and evacuation to the rear.
Many thanks to CATI Armor for their very generous equipment donation.
CATI Armor provided a set of rifle strike plates and their famous World’s Most Concealable Armor System in support of the work of the Safe Streets Project. It was raffled off to attendees at the close of training on Sunday.
Utilizing CATI’s Combat Quad-Bend (CQB) technology, it provides rifle threat protection that is super low profile. At a 1/4 inch and rated AR500 level 3 or AR600 level 3+, the armor can be worn under a T-shirt and is barely visible even to the most observant of eyes.
Our immense thanks to CATI for their gracious provision and support.
We are headed to the St. Louis area next.
I am Ivan Throne. I am the Dark Triad Man.
I tell you today that you have a personal responsibility to ensure your skills will keep you and your loved ones alive.
If you are a patriot in Missouri or Illinois, get ready for a Ground Dominance training event in your area.
We are planning a St. Louis event in the February time frame, after the holidays.
Winter is coming, and the ground grows hotter each day.
We teach you to handle the heat.
Stay tuned!

The Million Trigger March: Enraged Leftists Swarm Ivan Throne
A statue, a tweet, and a million impressions explode.
DARK TRIAD MAN® is closing in on the second anniversary of launch.
We are, of course, looking at metrics over the last six months. Site traffic, Twitter impressions, subscribers, and other measures of success are all analyzed here on a rolling basis. Six months ago we released the most recent findings in this article.
Last year’s first anniversary post on our colossal early success was a pleasure to write.
Right on time, DARK TRIAD MAN® delivered its first day with over 1,000,000 impressions on Twitter.
And the harvested shrieking of enraged leftists made it all the more delicious. In this post we will review the frame, the context, the reaction, and how the rubble bounced into achievement of deliberate target.
Read on.
A beautiful statue and simple, nested observations.
Recently we encountered a photograph of an absolutely breathtaking work of art on social media. The artistry and detail evident in the statue are, quite simply, astonishing.
From its flowing hair to the facial features, from the expressive dignity of posture to the sublime overall effect, it was instantly evocative of the very best example of Western civilization to come across our desk here in some time.
And so, a tweet went out to honor the work.
It was worthwhile to express appreciation for the legacy and heritage of European culture that inspired it, to share the beauty that was created, and to inspire others to experience the same awe at such immense talent in action:
Now, of course this was intended to be triggering. Social media isn’t entertainment for me, but rather the infinitely vast auditorium in which much of my work is done. Twitter in particular is a fast-paced platform where a tweet can quickly go viral.
Viral outcome is the apex of competence, and I was delighted with the result:
Twitter immediately exploded with enraged SJWs.
Frame, context, and subtly nested concepts.
Proper understanding of a writer’s work requires thoughtful consideration.
Readers of my bestselling philosophy work The Nine Laws are acutely aware of my process of shading and nesting the English language, and how disparate forks of meaning can be taken to new understanding. That is not simple writing, but then The Nine Laws is not for simple fools:
With that review of my style and depth firmly in front of you, let us now take apart and analyze the frame of my tweet, and we shall examine the nested layers of praise and trigger, of subtle signal and blunt challenge to the shivering progressive SJW.
Dissection of the tweet by the man who authored it.
We will begin with the very first line of the tweet.
This is called “art”.
That statement is simple and unqualified. It is also incontestably accurate.
Immediately following is the hook to snag the attention of the social justice warrior, the Leftist, the progressive who loathes Western civilization and wishes to see it denigrated, disparaged and destroyed:
This is the legacy and heritage of the West.
The above statement is objectively observable as correct.
“Legacy” has a specific meaning:
“Heritage” also has specific meaning:
“The West” itself is defined clearly by Oxford:
Thus we have a nested suite of meaning within one sentence.
“Valued objects and qualities of specific historic value, originating from the West, in particular Europe.”
The first snare of triggering for social justice warriors was set.
The background of the artist is the cornerstone of the snare.
The artist is unquestionably possessed of immense and extraordinary talent, as her art unmistakably demonstrates.
Witness the background of the Chinese woman, Luo Li Rong, who is responsible for creation of the statue and other gorgeous works. We will not waste time defending her self-evident skill, nor the immense patience and discipline that her art exhibits.
Her inspiration, however, is well worth noting:
Yes, the artist is female.
Yes, the artist is ethnically Chinese.
She lives and works in Belgium.
She explicitly promotes that she is inspired by the grand, artistic legacy of the West.
She is publicly celebrated for specifically honoring and adhering to the cultural heritage of the West.
I am very deliberate. I am not unsubtle.
Tumble and turn with the next phase of triggering.

Healthy, lovely female value is worth fighting for.
As I noted in my article 8 Incarnations Of The Female, the “girl next door” is called out as the precious, and very fragile, reservoir of culture.
Men are the warriors, the protectors, those who run to the sound of the guns. They are the ones who are called to the defense of family and community, of nation and culture, of civilization itself when the bloody tide of the dark world surges and crashes with terrible threat.
We are the expendable sex, the ones who burn their ships and stride forward with total commitment into the clash, and either win great victory or die in selfless and immortal honor for these values of the West.
I will simply leave these here as example:

Victory and the meaning of Deus Vult.
Men who throw their bodies and cast their lives to the ground in sacred defense of their wives and their nation, their culture and civilization, demonstrate with disregard for personal safety the battle roar of fighting men in the First Crusade:
“God wills it!” Yes, He does.
When it comes to the defense of innocents, the preservation of legacy and heritage of the West, and the protection of the wife you love and who bears both your children and the future of your culture and civilization… yes.
God wills it.
Do you doubt that this will trigger the hideous swarm of social justice warriors?
Do you believe they will honor sacrifice and beauty, presented as an offering of honor on the altar of God?
Do you think a natural inhibition against foulness is present in their character?
Do you expect innate class and breeding, manners, and respectful acknowledgement of truth from them?
If those are your anticipated outcomes, you are a fool.
You must learn to handle the swarm of the SJW collective.
And make the rubble bounce.
SJW Attack Survival Guide
A free PDF titled “SJW Attack Survival Guide” by Vox Day has been made available. Excerpted from his book SJWs Always Lie: Taking Down The Thought Police, it is a critical resource. Failure to heed it during attack by SJWs can mean the difference between survival and destruction.
Read it carefully and absorb the information and the warnings. The author knows whereof he speaks.
Six-time Hugo Award finalist Vox Day writes epic fantasy as well as non-fiction about religion, philosophy, and economics. He is a platinum-selling game designer who speaks four languages and a three-time Billboard Top 40 Club Play recording artist. His books have been translated into 10 languages.
He maintains a pair of popular blogs, Vox Popoli and Alpha Game, which between them average over 3.5 million pageviews per month. He is an American Indian, the Supreme Dark Lord of the Evil Legion of Evil, and the leader of the Rabid Puppies. The Wall Street Journal described him as “the most despised man in science fiction.”
He is the Lead Editor at Castalia House and the Lead Designer of Infogalactic.
I am very proud to have written the foreword to his current #1 political philosophy bestseller, SJWs Always Double Down: Anticipating The Thought Police.
What is “bouncing the rubble?”
It takes many forms.
Observe.
Shrieking swarms of leftists cannot stop themselves.
SJWs cannot help themselves…
…closing in on 1MM impressions in 24 hours.https://t.co/7pBYyQLF9q

“IVAN THRONE IS A NAZI”
My uncle was arrested by the Gestapo and shot in a concentration camp.
So much for the SJW narrative, eh?https://t.co/55OAKtDjzk
The Left doubles down on stupid.
It is why @realDonaldTrump won in a landslide.#TCOT #CCOT #MAGA pic.twitter.com/CPpwBtih9k

SJWs cannot stop themselves.
This is called “doubling down”.
It is how they operate, regardless of accuracy, and precisely why Trump won the election in a landslide.
This is another kind of landslide.
It is a difference of degree, not of kind.

Stay tuned for the two year anniversary of DARK TRIAD MAN®.
October 27th, 2017 will represent two years of my public writing and work. It is also the anniversary of the Vision of Constantine, as a reader recently pointed out.
I am Ivan Throne. I am the Dark Triad Man. And I tell you that the detonation of fate can be made deliberate.
The coming launch of Alt★Hero from Castalia House is a sublime example:
One of these is not like the other!
The first is by an Asian WOMAN, glorifying WESTERN culture.
The second is by an Asian MAN, glorifying WESTERN culture.
But the message is the same:
IMMORTAL GLORY OF THE WEST.
There are only two genders,
and one true opinion:#DeusVult pic.twitter.com/UEWSAwftfs

Shrieking social justice warriors loathe and hate me.
They call me a racist, a white supremacist, a Nazi. (I admit to having dinner with a white nationalist.)
They label me a sexist even though I speak correctly of women, and promote guest posts on masculine homosexuality.
They determinedly fail to grasp, despite the consequences of that failure, that I do not care what they call me.
Read my books. Study my ebook modules. Listen to my podcast. Join the brotherhood of the Immersion Forge.
Subscribe today and connect with the men who bring Deus Vult to reality in the new age.
We will tear down the degradation of the West, and burn the rubble of social justice warriors to ashes.

Brutal Clips 12: Deadly New Order Of Battle For The Left
An intelligence dump reveals horrific escalation.
DARK TRIAD MAN® has recently been provided with a dossier of internal operational and strategic information from Antifa, Black Bloc, Refuse Fascism and other Alt-Left organizations.
In conjunction with ground reports, surveillance by the Safe Streets Project, input from official sources, and military analysis by Mr. Swift, this episode outlines the strategic plan, operational escalation, and deadly militant planning of the Alt-Left.
Listen to Brutal Clips 12: Deadly New Order Of Battle For The Left.
The Safe Streets Project needs your help.
As the Alt-Left inexorably evolves from activists to protestors, to militants, and frighteningly towards armed insurgency, the work of the Safe Streets Project becomes more critical and more personally dangerous for our teams.
Violent Alt-Left escalation cannot go unchecked.
We need your individual financial support to help ensure that the capabilities of the Safe Streets Project keeps pace with dreadful escalation on the ground. These funds go directly towards training, liaison, travel, body armor, surveillance, and protective security necessary to the Project.
Help ensure the Project keeps pace.
We are conducting Ground Dominance training for patriot groups on the ground. CATI Armor has stepped up to assist with this work. Other agencies, businesses, and individuals are working behind the scenes to keep this rolling. Your personal support helps fund our technology, our mission and our teams.
Contribute in support.

Participate in Ground Dominance Training from the Safe Streets Project.
The first training will take place in Austin, Texas on October 21-22. Additional training is being arranged for patriots in the St. Louis area and other cities under assault.
Make no mistake that what happened in Las Vegas is simply a warmup for what the nation must prepare for.
“You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you.”
Support our work, and be an integral part of it on the ground.
