Some days History (with a capital H) is made and today, we have a particular gentleman by the name of Novak Djokovic to thank for that.
The very first tennis matches I grew watching were on a glorious summer holiday in London, just off Hyde Park. It was 1985, prime Wimbledon era and Boris Becker took the title that year at the age of 17. I was 6 and totally fell in love with the sport of Tennis (though I would only play it several years later). Incidentally Novak was about the same age when he first dreamt about winning the championship himself.
Novak’s is a story about how dreams can come true.
Today I want to interleave this between a story about GOATs and Frogs. Because I think there is a connection.
Novak is a story of true grit, masculinity, militant discipline and surviving multiple wars. These things are not in vogue today, and as proof the crowd even booed him during his historic win.
The crowd and most people I know don’t like Novak or his story.
The truth is for a long time I didn’t either.
I grew up as a big fan of Pete Sampras, the first GOAT. The guy was power, precision and agility all rolled into one. As his era ended we got Roger Federer who probably has the most elegant game the sport has ever seen. A genuine tennis genius. It was hard not to love Roger in his prime.
On his heels we got Rafael Nadal a little more awkward in character but a full fledged matador. Compared to them Novak didn’t look as natural. Novak’s style was, “First, he takes your legs and then your soul”. He outsmarts you. He is as patient as an alligator and just as silent. He makes you make a mistake by making you have to play above your level. Then he destroys you.
The story of Roger Federer was a dream. Swiss boy turned maestro, floppy hair, a perfect complement to a Rolex. Ultra sleek, knitted polo sweaters, an ambassador to organically roasted coffee beans and designer sports shoes.
Rafa in contrast is a prized bull fighter, Latin blooded fire brand with musculature to match. He was close to unbeaten and unmatchable on the quintessential European surface of clay, bronzen like his skin.
Compare that with Novak. Narrow eyes, a disrupter, war torn Serb, NATO enemy, stoic, disciplined, vegan and a breaker of dreams.
When the pandemic hit, he stood against entire nations and put his whole legacy on the line. It would have been so easy for him to get a fake injection. (We know that many elite athletes did this). I can think of no other who put so much on the line, got banned and deported out a country, was unable to enter others while getting the scorn of the entire media and fellow competitors. Very few stood up for Novak at the time.
Yet, in hindsight we know if nothing else, that his concerns were legitimate. Personally, I would hazard to say, he was 100% right in the scientific sense, and took the only sane position from a moral one. (His position was that of bodily autonomy and choice)
But the crowd won’t have it. To know that they bent over and acted in hideous ways, that the complied with every immoral edict whether sensible or not. That they “othered” everyone with an opposing view, often costing dissenters their jobs and destruction to their economies. That they cheered when he got banned from competitions just so their favorite could win.
Novak is the face that exposes that abuse.
That he stood up graciously without vengeance or disdain, while being cut down… and prevailed to become the undisputed GOAT is something many will never except.
Now to the frogs.
It has become evident to many that the world is going crazy. If you’ve missed the memo, I feel for you.
Nothing makes sense, and on the tip of the spear of this nonsense is the forced feeding of Transgenderism and Pride to really young children.
Lots of hair is turning blue. Gender dysphoria is on a meteoric rise. Sperm counts are falling off a cliff.
The question is why?
The simple answer is ideology but could this be the only reason why? It doesn’t explain sperm counts. There is something deeper going on.
The answer may have something to do with Endocrine disrupters. Here’s a definition:
“Endocrine disruptors are harmful chemicals that can be found in many consumer products, including cosmetics, food and beverage packaging, toys, carpet, pesticides, and flame retardants. They disrupt our hormone system, leading to a wide range of health harms. Contact with these chemicals may occur through air, diet, skin, and water. Endocrine disruptors like BPA and phthalates are found in everything from cleaning products to fragrances. The endocrine system plays a starring role in all phases of development, metabolism, and behavior. It is difficult but not impossible to avoid many endocrine disruptors.”
The really interesting thing about this class of chemicals is that the have been found to “turn the frogs gay”. There is experimental evidence for it. In fact there are cases where male frogs have turned female and capable of producing eggs.
So there is a physical basis to the madness and it is in everything from your shampoo to the pesticides used to grow your food. It’s in the water, on your clothes and detergents you use to wash them. It’s on your children’s toys, on the carpet they play on, it’s everywhere.
“The Science” has known about it for at least a decade and has done squat all about it. Ask your self why?
I guess you can “Trust the Science” whatever that means, if you want.
Endocrine Disrupters don’t care for left or right politics. They don’t care for Donald Trump, Rishi Sunak or the war in Ukraine. It’s hormonal destruction through chemical means. Invisible.
So the Frogs hate the GOAT for what he represents. The frogs don’t know why, they’ve been hijacked by the media, the deep establishment and chemicals in the environment.
