You cannot turn back the clock. You can't take back any moves, There is no rematch when this is all over. You, have misplayed your hand. You failed when you NEEDED to succeed. And you are currently living with the consequences. Life is very fair. Winning makes winning easier. Losing makes losing easier. There's a version of yourself who for the past 4 years did everything he was supposed to do. Went to the gym whether he felt like it or not. Looked at the chaos of the world and thought about how to position himself. Worked tirelessly, 24 hours a day, every day, focused on a single goal. That version of you is happy now. The game is easy for him. He's won, made multi-millions during the easiest time to make money on earth. He's rich, well-off and focusing on his next moves without the same level of pressure to perform. And he could've been you. The best time to do what you were supposed to do was yesterday. The second best time is now. DO NOT FAIL. Failure only makes winning harder. - Tate

Make friends like there will be a supply chain or social infrastructure collapse and you will have to rely on each other for survival. Make friends like the world is about to get HARD and your government doesn't actually care about you. Make friends like you may have to go through the hard times that make good men. Because you will need to. The world isn't becoming MORE peaceful. Peace is not the natural state of humankind, You forgot this because your parents forgot this. Your grandparents knew this, but it is not easy to instill such concepts STRONG enough for them to hold. The natural state of humanity is WAR. It is CHAOS. It's unpredictability, it's change. It's winners win MORE and losers lose MORE. It's less middle class, more ultra-wealthy, and more slaves. It's accelerated change and game-changing innovations. It's adapt or lose. It's be quick or YOUR LINEAGE WILL SUFFER FOR YOUR FAILURE. Prepare before it’s too late.

People instantly believe the media when it suits their narrative. "LOOK WHAT THE BAD GUYS DID!" Not a single one of these right-wing "freedom" clowns has escaped the Matrix. They argue LGBT all day and think their mind is free. It's obvious how they all cucked for COVID. They claim to be tough guys, they talk like they're resisting, but they swallow the psyop if it tastes good. They all took the vaccine and then cried afterward. No critical thinking, No rationality. They have their goals and if the MSM supports it with ANYTHING, they immediately regurgitate it. They're emotional. They see something that stirs an emotion in them and immediately buy it. They cucked for COVID out of fear. They will believe ANYTHING THE MEDIA SAYS if it makes them feel smart. Make them feel a little bit of anger and watch the bloodlust come out. The Matrix manipulates the masses via emotion. Remember this when you see the next "free thinker" cry his eyes out. - Tate

War is the only constant of life. Pain, misery and suffering can never be permanently avoided. One day, a loved one of yours will die. One day, an economic downturn will hit your business. One day, your country could fall to civil unrest. PAIN is inevitable. STRUGGLE is guaranteed. If you are a man who loves or wants, you are cursed with an inevitability of struggle and strife. This is the cold hard reality of life. The answer to this curse isn't to want less or love less. That is the coward’s way out. The answer is to become GOOD at suffering. Capable and headstrong in the chaos of the storm. You need to aspire to become the man who when pushed to the pits of hell stays composed and capable under pressure. The indomitable man. The storms are inevitable. Aspire to become the man who performs outstandingly in the rain. Such is The Way of Wudan - Tate

Greatness in Life requires the slaying of many monsters. One of these monsters is a dark specter named Doubt. The battle against Doubt must be fought and won in order to reach the peaks of greatness. Doubt is insidious and creeping. Thick, poisonous and sticky, It aims to engulf and constrict your mind cutting off your ability to perceive the light. You have not defeated Doubt. You doubt you can become great, Doubt what is actually possible for you to achieve. You need to destroy it before you can unlock your full potential. Doubt is not your ally, it will never help you. Doubt will only impede your progress, It will attack your energy and sap your discipline. It is a poison that spreads, You must get rid of it absolutely. I am from government housing, I'm from the bottom of the socio-economic ladder. I achieved all my successes despite every statistic saying I would fail. Doubt was all around me. I destroyed it every moment it reared its ugly head. The destruction of doubt is one of the many secrets of Wudan. I became a master of the technique exactly 2,973 years ago. You must train to do the same, When Doubt is destroyed you can see the possibilities of your life clearly. It is much easier to suffer when you can see the destination you will reach. Destroy Doubt, destroy the specter clouding your mind. You will not ascend without doing so.

Everyone is always SHOCKED when something completely predictable happens. Why? Because everyone is a loser. Amateur. THE REAL WORLD students were given the accumulation signal on October 2nd. They were given a final warning to make sure they were SUPER LONG on October 22nd. Our students entered Bitcoin at an average of 28k. Today Bitcoin touched 35k. And everyone outside is shocked, amazed. WE KNEW THIS WAS COMING. It's predictable. Price doesn't move randomly. There is an entire group of men in the world who dedicate their entire lives to predicting prices. THE REAL WORLD professors are some of the best. We teach you HOW TO MAKE MONEY via positive cash-flow businesses. We teach you HOW TO MULTIPLY MONEY via investment strategies. If you are 100% into crypto and wish you had more to put in, THAT IS BECAUSE YOU ARE POOR. You should be MAKING money. If you don't multiply money by clicking buttons on a screen, that is because you don't have any good smart friends. You could've caught this pump if you were a student inside THE REAL WORLD. But unfortunately, you've decided to adopt a level of arrogance I cannot comprehend. When you're tired of always being behind and surprised by market movements, When you're tired of having 0 professional friends who warn you about what FREE MONEY OPPORTUNITIES you are missing out on,

There is nothing as disgusting as cowardice. The absolute opposite of any male virtue. The fear of doing what is RIGHT. I’m afraid to die. But I’m more afraid to live knowing I was a coward and did wrong by those I love. You wanna rape her? You better kill me. COWARDS are worth nothing. They smile in the sun, laugh at the party and in the cold reality of the human experience they shit themselves and let anyone they care about die. Violence is here to stay but a coward isn’t. They walk by your side and abandon you in the time of need. Rolling with cowards is worse than rolling alone. When I was 20 I was dating a 17-year-old girl. Her name was Kerrie. She had an ex-boyfriend who thought he was a gangster. One Saturday night when I was at her house, her ex and 5 of his friends turned up with hammers. I was inside with a friend of mine, Tony, along with Kerrie and her friend. He and his boys waving hammers around. Tony started saying we should call the police. I told him if we didn’t stand up to them they’d just come back again and again. It was now or never. Tony was almost in tears. But we walked out together. The ex, I don’t even remember his name, demanded I say sorry to him. For taking his girl. He wanted to look the big dog in front of his little posse by demanding a sorry from me and that would have been the end of the story. I told him I wasn’t sorry for anything. And if he wants to try and hurt me, do it. Tony, standing beside me, on MY team, said "Just say sorry man" TO ME! His COWARDICE inspired them. HE made THEM braver because HE was a fucking COWARD. THIS IS WHY COWARDS ARE WORSE THAN BEING ALONE. THEY WORK FOR THE ENEMY. I turned and pushed Tony to the ground, surprising everyone. He was on my team before he said to apologize. I shoved him to the ground and told him he’s a fucking pussy. He got up and ran inside. I stood against the 5 men alone. But the situation instantly changed after the push. The tension was gone. 10 seconds later they left, and I went inside. Tony was in the corner sulking waiting for a taxi "I’m going home" I never spoke to him again. Young Kings. Bravery, Honor, and Discipline, without those, nothing else matters. - Tate

The world as we know it is collapsing. It’s tangible. Anyone with a brain can see it, can feel it. Day by day on Twitter you see America and the West rot from the inside out. You see corruption and money laundering on a nearly incalculable scale. You see puppet regimes supported under the guise of democracy. Now we see the untouchable Israel under brutal attack. How did Mossad, one of the most formidable intelligence services on the planet fail so brilliantly? How did they not notice an imminent INVASION? Did they fail at all? Was this planned? If so, why? There are questions to answer and moves to make. PAY ATTENTION. Amateurs look at situations they can not control and wait for the outcomes. Professionals analyze situations they can not control and think "How can I benefit from this?" We are in a period of monumental change. The entire world will change. ALL OF IT. Chaos is opportunity. There is a hole in the Matrix, A gap in the fence. Those who pay attention and work hard can escape the prison. You must use this uncertainty to improve your life and the lives of your loved ones. War and chaos are often very ugly, it leaves many innocents dead, or irreversibly affected. If war is certain and unpreventable, accept this. And make a choice. Will your life benefit from this tragedy? Or will your life get worse? It’s binary, There are only two options. How are you going to make sure you choose the right one? - Tate

Do you remember the man who cut off his own arm to live? I remember decades ago, a hiker was mountain climbing and by a freak accident, a boulder fell on his arm pinning him to the cliff. After many days, He realized his only way to survive was to cut off his arm and hike back home. No one was coming to save him. So, grabbed his multi-tool and over the course of hours, cut off his arm below the elbow. He cut through skin, muscle and bone. He watched his tendons move. He was not allowed to pass out. He cut off his arm, walked to a hospital and survived. Slowly cutting your own arm off is not easy. And if he didn't think living was a possibility, He wouldn't have done it. Belief is the only thing that allowed him to bear the pain required to survive. The Universe is very giving. The Universe will give you everything you want if you work hard enough for it. That hiker WANTED to live. It wasn't "Yeah, I'd like to live" like most of you "want" things. The Universe asked him "How much do you want to live?" And he gave his answer. You're reading this and I'll tell you some truths about yourself. You don't actually want to be exceptional. You don't actually want to be a centi-millionaire. You don't want to be a world champion. You think you do, You "want" it but you don't WANT it. You wouldn't give up your arm. You won't even give up jacking off to porn. You won't stick to a plan. You won't risk money. You won't give up ANYTHING. And that's why you aren't driving the supercar. That's why you're weak. That's why you don't have the girl you want. The Universe is EXTREMELY giving. But it can’t give to everyone. So it gives in an ultra predictable manner - in a very simple and logical order. The universe fulfills the desires of the person who wants it the most. Then the second most. Then the third most. I wanted it more than everybody else and that’s why I have it. So. This is a test. RIGHT NOW THE UNIVERSE IS GOING TO TEST YOU. It is WATCHING. Do you WANT TO MAKE MONEY. Do you WANT it? For real. If yes, click here: https://www.hustlersuniversity.ag/ai If no, the universe took notice. Have fun staying poor. - Tate

Life’s a power game. Your friends your woman. Your job. Your “freedom” It’s one massive battlefield for power and influence. Worst - Most of you aren't even playing.

Relationships are great. But know this, As a man every serious struggle you face in life, you will face alone. When the assailant pulls a knife and aims to kill you. Your woman cannot help you. You will help her solve her biggest battles. She will send you love as you head off to face your own. Women are a luxury. Self-ability is a necessity. I fully depend on my woman for nothing. When I was in jail, I did not expect her to pay the bills. I do not expect her to run the empire. The things she does for me are things I could easily do for myself. When men say their wife is their number one ally, this is a man with minor struggles. When the mafia is threatening to shoot my mother in the head. When I’m in the ring with broken bones. When I was stabbed. I cannot call my girlfriend and ask for “help”. You need BROTHERS for war. Ask a woman directly. Do you want to help me with my problems? Look in her eyes. Look how she instantly is less attracted to you. “Um. What problems?” Fix your own and fix hers. She doesn’t belong in life or death battle. That is a man's world. - Tate

Because I tell young men to question everything, work hard, go to the gym, get as rich as possible, never quit, respect themselves and that all the pain will be worth it in the end. I am banned from being discussed in schools around the world. The British government has an active campaign to not only ban me, but is planning to incriminate me for hate speech. I am banned from almost all social media. I am banned from having a bank account. I am banned from Airbnb, Uber, Discord, Spotify. Im banned from basically any app on the appstore. I was put in Jail. In a hole. To rot. But if I cut my dick off and wore a dress and told men to do the same, I wouldn't be seen as poisonous to the minds of the youth. I would be PROMOTED and EMBRACED. Its very clear that the people who are against me are afraid that I am teaching men to be GOOD men. Theyre afraid of me being so influential because they dont want me to HELP men be GOOD. The logical extension is that my enemies are simply evil. It is good vs evil. It is God against Satan. It is the battle for humanity.

Every world-changing invention has always been created under the pretense of WAR. Humanity requires pressure to create diamonds. And many of you reading this live with NO PRESSURE AT ALL. You are “Successful”, happy and complacent. You've followed my advice and gone farther than most. You’re the most serious person you know at your age. You’re the one in the family who doesn't fuck up. You’re on the right path. And you think you’re something special now. You're happy with your place in the world. And because of this, you've lost the edge that made you the success you are. Let me tell you a secret. You will never reach the top 0.001% of human capability without men to compete against. You can make the top 1% - but if you google the stats, that’s truly nothing at all. The only way to reach the absolute upper echelons is through others who drive you through their own brutal capabilities. The RIGHT kind of peer pressure. Demi-Gods are forged in Hellfire. They're forged in a constant War against satisfaction. If you want to join legends in the top 0.001% of men. And you are not roasting in heated pressure as we speak. You should be. If you’re looking for the crucible.

Suffering creates happiness

Storms destroy weak men. They cannot handle the raging winds and frigid rain. To charge into a storm would mean their certain destruction. Only strong men have afforded themselves the luxury to charge into storms. When the weak man's own mother is caught in a storm. He is presented with two equally devastating options. 1) To live the rest of his life with an irremovable stain of guilt, sorrow and regret on his soul 2) To evaporate and disintegrate in the storm The weak man's fantasy is that strength will find him in these moments. He is only able to accept his frailty under the delusion that should a storm come he will find the strength to survive it. The weak man copes through life. Every truly capable man you have ever seen has one thing in common. Love. The amount of pain, struggle and anguish required to become a man of true strength is unbearable without a motive. Selfish motives are not enough to endure the hellfire of soul forging. Selfish motives can never motivate an act as selfless as becoming a superhero. You cannot die and be reborn stronger when your motive is to live. I am Emory Andrew Tate III as a duty to my ancestors. I am Emory Andrew Tate III as a duty to my loved ones. I am Emory Andrew Tate III as a duty to God and the universe he has created. I go through the hellfire and forge my iron mind to prepare for the battle against Shaitan. I train to afford the luxury of strength. When the storm comes, I will be prepared to charge in. I will not be given only two options, I will be given three. And I will choose the 3rd option every time. WIN. - Tate

As a man. You have to find somebody you want to emulate - at least partially. You don’t copy that person exactly, you pick and choose the traits you want. Absorb from different men and build your ideal self. It’s your job to convince them to teach you. And once you find good people to learn from? You're able to quickly change the person you are. That's what I did when I was coming up. From my father, I was instilled with a mindset of excellence. And over the years I learned from others. The result? I've got a mind of iron. I'm in top physical condition. Rich man all while still young. I am now a great man. If your friends don't demand excellence from you. And if you have nobody around you who's at a higher level. It's mathematically impossible for you to fully develop. It would be like me putting you in a boxing gym run by bicyclists. You'd have zero proper training. They don't have the qualities that make a good boxer, they can't even throw a punch. How are they going to teach you anything about boxing? On the other hand, if you've got people to emulate? You'll learn quickly. Your coaches will let you know what’s important to focus on. What exercises helped them, What fundamentals to focus on. You'll grow QUICKLY into a good boxer. If you want to get anywhere in life. Finding the right mentors and friends is crucial. If you're looking to get rich? With the right friends, you'll talk about what you're working on. Day in and day out. Working together and learning better approaches. And with your mentors, you'll skip the errors and go straight to the top. Find someone who's done it before you to emulate. It's the fastest way.

The Realm of Competence... I have the rare privilege of only doing business with other War Room members. I do not have the NEED to do business any other way. Why should I make a stranger rich by doing business with him? It doesn’t matter if you are WORLD CLASS. In the War Room, I can find a man who is, at a MINIMUM 80% as good, if not better. I can make HIM rich. I can keep wealth within THE WAR ROOM network where it will transfer to another member of THE WAR ROOM. I exist in a realm of utmost competence, Competence is not a scarce resource inside of THE WAR ROOM, it is abundant. I have no need to make someone outside of my network rich nor any desire to. THE WAR ROOM is a black hole of wealth. Money comes in and it only goes out to buy supercars, houses, crypto, and other assets through War Room contacts. This is how the Elites become powerful. This is how the Elites stay powerful. When you have a competent man for every task or business imaginable. Why make a stranger rich? THE WAR ROOM network has a collective net worth of over $1 BILLION dollars. This is the only network in the world of genuine influence that you have the chance to join. I allow unknowns to join in order to find COMPETENCE. You can join us poor, that’s fine. There are many poor yet hardworking men, who only need the direction and network to become rich men. Network and direction is what we provide. Can you LISTEN and WORK? If yes - success is guaranteed. But you will be tested when you join. We do not tolerate INCOMPETENCE. THE WAR ROOM is looking for soldiers. First, however, I need you to understand my mindset on money. You have already missed out on many lessons.

You can always spot a Loser. You see them binge eating cope after ordering from the menu of doubt. Doubt is cheap and tasty. And losers pick this every single time it’s on the menu. The problem? IT IS ALWAYS ON THE MENU. "Maybe it won’t work" "Maybe it’s too hard" "I doubt that works" I’ll just have one of these please with some cope for dessert. The only thing that makes them feel better after being too afraid to take monumental action is a nice large bowl of cope. The "average man" is a gluttonous fat slob stuffing his face full of the stuff. "Oh well I don’t wanna be rich anyway" "Money doesn’t buy happiness!" "It’s not my fault I failed, it was the economy" YUMMMM. Delicious cope. When you ask why they order these things, they always have the same answer: "Doubt and cope are cheap and they make me feel good" "Cope is super good, try some!" BRUTAL MEDIOCRACY WITH A SUGAR COATING. The cope makes you feel better but the world still thinks you’re a loser. The world doesn’t care why you failed. The world only cares that you DID FAIL. YOU DID NOT WIN. BECAUSE SOMEBODY ELSE DID. There are luxury items on the menu of life. And luxury is often disguised in HARDSHIP. Hard work, Pain and Suffering. It will take some getting used to, Hard work doesn’t always taste nice. Pain, is bitter. Suffering has a horrible aftertaste. But this clean diet of possibility is the menu of choice for every single champion. What COULD you be if you truly tried? How hard would you try if you BELIEVED it could be done? HOW will the world respect you once you’ve MADE it? No self-doubt. No cope to feel better. Just bitter pain. Hard work sets your throat on fire as you order more and more from the menu. An all-you-can-eat buffet of capability that results in the highest echelon of excellence. The building blocks to constructing a body and mind of fortitude and capability. You are what you eat. Make the right choice. - Tate

He's rich, well-off and focusing on his next moves without the same level of pressure to perform. And he could've been you. The best time to do what you were supposed to do was yesterday.

The Matrix cracked the day they canceled me. This isn’t arrogance. Think about it. Track the date. Remember my first message to them post “cancellation” “You fucked up with me. You pushed too far. My unmatched perspicacity coupled with sheer indefatigability makes me a feared opponent in any realm of human endeavor” I’m sure they laughed. Expected me to go away. I didn’t. Then they threw me in jail, expecting the world to believe them. They didn’t. Rumble now beats YouTube. MSM credibility at 0. God’s grace meant X replaced Twitter. The implications are far-reaching - the good guys are now bad guys. The victims are shown to be the bullies. The lies don’t work. Decades-long reputations built on propaganda collapse. They try harder and harder to lie - incinerating credibility in real-time. The Matrix is mad mad. They will come for the truth tellers. They will try and chop off the head of the snake they can no longer tame. The only way out is through. Do not be a coward. They can’t kill us all. Believe in God. Live for something greater than yourself. Without truth in the world, your children will be slaves. Resist the slave mind.
