Many folks know I hunted cannibals in India. And found plenty. Including a most remarkable man from Houston.
How did a Southern Boy become a cannibal? Long story. I interviewed him exhaustively in four countries: India, Nepal, Thailand, and the country of Massachusetts. The most interesting story ever.
He came from a wealthy family. Father graduated from Texas A&M and was Army officer during World War II. One of his direct-line grandfathers, William Stevenson, from his Grandfather William Stevenson's autobiography:
"William Stevenson (1768-1857) was a pioneer itinerant Methodist preacher in the southwestern United States. In 1814 or 1815, probably 1815,1 he became the first Protestant of any denomination to preach within the bounds of what is today Texas. He was also among the first Methodists or Protestants to preach in Arkansas and Oklahoma as well. Stevenson’s Autobiography given here is a classic account of frontier and folk Methodism, although it has never been published in its entirety since it first appeared in serial form in the New Orleans Christian Advocate in the year after Stevenson died."

Through DNA and other research, I confirmed much of his family tree, including that William Stevenson is in fact his Grandfather -- among other notables. (Fun fact: If your name is Stevenson or Stephenson, you might be blood relative of the cannibal I tracked down along the Ganges River in India. If you like bacon...hey, they call human "Long Pig" because we taste like pork. Not chicken.)
Anyway, I digress. Gary the Cannibal (GtC) became a cannibal in large part due to trying to cure himself of Polio damage. The most interesting story ever.
And so there I was. India. Before most people knew me from the various wars and conflicts. Cannibal hunting. Some people fly to Africa to shoot elephants. Some people climb mountains because they are there. I prefer cannibal hunting.

Uncanny parallels with corporate media and the Broadstreet Pump. We get sick from mouth of the pump. Then we go back to that fine tasting water for more vibrio cholorae, and people die. Literally die.
Remove the pump handle.
Turn off corporate media other than for information that is harder to skew, such as for hurricane tracking.
Now I see so many ANTIFA types out there.
I say with deep sincerity and humility that these are the same western-types I see in India getting "India Syndrome." You have seen me publish many times that I have seen this trend with my own eyes -- and I was publishing this long before I heard of ANTIFA.
I talk with ANTIFA-types often, and when they are off the "battlefields," the vast majority seem like good people to me. They are willing to fight for something important, and that is not a bad thing. That is a great thing. But they are drinking from the Broadstreet Pump, as are most of us.
I would like to take the top dozen or so ANTIFA leaders with me to some third world places. You know I have spent more than half my life out of America. Many of those years were in third world countries, many of which are communist.
I would like to take them for a couple of months. Just disconnect from the world. Let them see the world I have seen. And watch them become healthy again. And friends.
A very interesting article!!! I highly recommend it. Not a long read.
Saw him on Steve’s show this AM...remove the handle! Super smart guy.
You’re right. Very good article... thanks for posting.
What the hell? Someone who is actually interesting? Thanks for posting.
I saw two Hindu cremations in Nepal, one a person of caste status and one a poor person. The cremations were done at a Hindu temple on the banks of a river that flows into the Ganges. After the cremation , done with the body on top of a stack of wood (a pyre), the ashes are swept into the river.
Is there any other kind of grandfather?

I have no idea what this is about. Something about hunting cannibals in India and interviewing them? Something about a pump giving cholera-infested water and the media? Then it is about a Texas preacher who was an ancestor of the cannibal. Then we are into WWII. Then something about Antifa... I think this is written in English but darned if I can figure out what it is about. A weird stream of consciousness thing, I guess.
OUTSTANDING post. T
HOORAY yon

LSD ridden post of the day.
Excellent reading.
Yeah, I was thinking what mumble-brained nonsense is this. I work with someone who writes like this. He's not a college graduate and you can tell. He just meanders from one subject to another with a tenuous thread stitching the narrative.
It's like they believe you've been in on their thoughts so no context is necessary.
You better stay away from him
He’ll rip your lungs out, Jim
I’d like to meet his tailor
Very nice,
Thanks
He was good.
