Ophelia is a powerful, flexible, and difficult hero to use. In the right circumstances, she can decide the outcome of the game in the first ten minutes. In the wrong circumstances, she can be a liability.
This guide is aimed at 1600-1900 games. I'm going to assume you have a basic knowledge of how HoN works and who Ophelia is, and I'm not going to tell you things you already know or don't care about. The guide will, however, go into great detail on everything else.
You can view a summary of this guide in-game at http://www.heroesofnewerth.com/heroe....php?gid=38995.
Detailed information about Ophelia's stats and skills can be found here
Nature's Wrath
This is a distinctly mediocre slow/damage amplifier. When timed perfectly, it'll take out about 20% of the enemy's HP, or about 150-300 damage early- to mid-game. The slow at level 4 (32%) is about equal to Hellbringer's slow at level 2. The cooldown and mana cost are pretty low, though.
Ophelia's Judgement
This is a terrible nuke, at 300 damage for 175 mana with a 16 second cooldown. It's also an awesome ally-saving skill. At level 1, it will teleport your ally to base 6 seconds after the spell is cast on them, regardless of what happens during that time. At level 4, it only takes 3 seconds.
Ophelia's signature skill. The health bonus from Command also applies to Puzzlebox minions and any units you dominate with Whispering Helm.
Ophelia's Touch
Heals everyone by 200/300/400 HP. To use this skill effectively, you have to have good map awareness. Keep an eye on your allies' HP at the top-left of the screen. If one starts to drop, see what's going on and heal if necessary. Touch heals all your creeps to full HP but should rarely be used for that alone, you can send the creeps back to the fountain instead.
Your ideal early-game set consists of 3 Minotaurs, or 2 Minotaurs and a Skeleton King. Late-game you want 1 or 2 Minotaurs, 1 Wolf Commander, and maybe 1 Ice Ogre.
Minotaurs are the best creeps. They do a lot of damage, have a lot of HP, and most importantly have a 2 second stun stomp, which they can use twice before running out of mana. Try to micro your minotaurs independent of your hero, otherwise you might end up running into the middle of a fight while trying to line up a stomp. Their 15% attack speed aura is also nice in pushes and late-game.
The Skeleton King's 1.5 second 550-ranged disable is ideal for getting Minotaurs into position to stomp enemies. Bear in mind that the disable only prevents movement, but doesn't stop them from attacking or casting. It does stop channeling, though. They can Grip enemies 3 times, or 4 times with a little bit of mana regen.
Skeleton King's Grip stops channeling spells even if the enemy has a Shrunken Head.
Catmen are basically the poor man's Minotaurs. They have a 100 damage stomp with a 3 second 25% slow, which they can use 3 times. This makes them useful in clearing stacked creep camps.
If Catmen are the poor man's minotaurs, Vagabonds are the poor man's Catmen. They also do 100 damage, but with no slow. Vagabonds do have more AoE on their nuke, though, and they can use it twice in one gank due to its low cooldown. Vagabonds also have a 3 HP/s regen aura.
Vulture Lords are the worst big creeps. Their Tornado skill does a reasonable amount of damage (45 dps) and a 15% slow, but with 130 movespeed and 150 radius (plus 15 DPS in a 450 radius), it's difficult to keep the enemies near it. It's channeling, so you can't attack with the vulture at the same time. Vultures are good at tanking towers and creeps, and in longer engagements where the enemies aren't running away. You can use the Tornado to take down stacked creep camps, especially easy camps, fairly quickly. To move the tornado you have to select it at its base; boxing it or selecting the top of the tornado won't work. The tornado can't attack, but you can right-click to move it.
Ice Ogres are reasonably good mid- to late-game, where you can give +8 armor to up to four allies at a time. Note that it no longer slows enemies that attack. Ice Ogres are useless in combat, so try to keep them separate from your minotaurs and catmen.
Wolf Commanders have a +30% damage aura which is excellent late-game. They are rather fragile, so you'll have to micro them carefully to stop them from running into a fight and getting blasted to death by AOE, while keeping your DPS heroes within its 500 radius. One way to do this is to right-click an allied ranged DPS hero with the wolf to issue a follow command; unfortunately this doesn't prevent the wolf from running off and attacking things. I don't recommend getting wolves early-game.
Vagabonds are a very niche creep. They can burn 100 mana up to 8 times, with a 18 second cooldown, but they're extremely fragile. Vagabonds are good if your long lane is having an extremely difficult time against a strength hero, and you can use the vagabond to keep that hero's mana low.
Vagabond Assassins have a purge which removes buffs and slows for 80% decreasing over 5 seconds (so on average, a 40% slow for 5 seconds). I'm not sure exactly what's removed by the purge. This can be useful, but you have to be extremely careful as the purge has 200 range and assassins die to a stiff breeze.
Snotter Bosses have a +12% move speed aura (about equal to +45 move speed) with 900 AoE. This isn't bad, but Snotters die to absolutely everything, so they're not worth getting if there's anything better available.
In my opinion, Sporespitters (20% slow on attack, 400 range) and Antlore Healers (15 HP/second heal, 250 range) are too fragile and have too little effect to be worth getting. Combined with Puzzlebox Wizard's 9% movespeed aura you can get pretty fast.

Both Judgement and Wrath are quite weak during the laning phase. I choose to max Judgement first because it's stronger in the mid-game, where porting an ally to base in 3 seconds instead of 6 is likely to save their life. If your team really needs another slow, you can max Wrath first, though you should have enough disables with just Minotaurs, Catmen, and Skeleton Kings.
Item Build
Ophelia's build is entirely dependent on the decisions you make in the mid-game, and whether you want to focus on ganking, pushing, countering your opponents, or going to late-game. You shouldn't go into the game with an item build in mind; you should determine your item build based on the hero selections of both teams and how the early game has unfolded. Each item below will be labeled with the strategy it works best with.
A lot of Ophelia's items are most useful if there's only one on the team, so make sure your communication with allies is good so you don't double up.
You should always get a Ring early-game even if one of your teammates has one; the armor bonus to your creeps is too useful to pass up.
Plated Greaves gives all allied creeps +20% damage and 10 damage block, making it excellent for pushing. If one or two allies are already getting Greaves you could consider Striders instead, but Ophelia is by far the best Greaves user in the game.
Most of the time your first item will be Astrolabe; you have the mana to support it and your creeps benefit from its heal. If you have a Plague Rider who wants to get Astrolabe, then don't get one yourself. If you have a Demented Shaman, Soul Reaper, or any other hero that often gets Astrolabe, tell them not to get Astrolabe because you'll be getting it. If they insist on getting Astrolabe, let them and don't get it yourself.
Unlike most support heroes, you rarely want Power Supply or Vestments. Greaves, Ring, Astrolabe, both wards, and Homecoming Stone take up all 6 of your inventory slots. Get them only if they'll be particularly useful and/or you can afford the inventory slot (an ally is warding, you don't need to counterward, you don't need Astrolabe, or you don't need TP).
Kuldra's Sheepstick is a great item for Ophelia, but it's very hard to farm. If you think you can get it in a reasonable amount of time (I'd say that's by the 40 minute mark), go for it. Sheepstick keeps you relevant late-game.
Stormspirit is a reasonably good item for Ophelia if you can't afford sheepstick. If you cast Ophelia's Judgement on an ally and immediately stormspirit them, they'll almost certainly survive, though you might die in the process. It can also be used to break channeling spells and deal with fat initiators like Pestilence and Legionnaire, preventing them from hurting your allies and allowing your allies to damage their fragile ranged heroes.
Nome's is great if you want to push early with your team, or if you've got a lot of high-mana-use casters like Wretched Hag. However, getting Nome's means you're not going to be that useful late-game. There are a number of better Nome's users, so make sure you don't get one if they are.
If you're farming really well, an early Puzzlebox is awesome. It lets you push quickly, run quickly, and kill your enemies quickly. It's especially good if the enemy has invisible heroes, or heroes with small mana pools, or if your team has a lot of disables so the minions have time to hit your enemies. The minions get +400 HP from Command, and the benefit of any auras from you and your creeps, but they can sometimes get in the way of you and your other creeps. Puzzlebox is best when someone else gets Astrolabe, letting you put all your money into the box.
Staff of the Master reduces your ultimate's cooldown to 30 seconds. You need to get a Stormspirit, Sheepstick, or Nomes in order to have enough mana to really take advantage of this. Staff doesn't do you much good in teamfights, as they rarely last 30 seconds. It's good when you've farmed it and another item reasonably early (30-35 minutes), and your team is heavily focused on ganking. Staff means you've always got your ult up to help your allies in a fight, allowing them to gank more frequently and effectively. Most of the time, Staff won't be the correct choice, but it's great when it works.
If the enemy has a lot of AoE magic damage, Barrier Idol is Astrolabes number 2 and 3, allowing you to prevent or heal up to 1000 damage on all your allies. Barrier's especially good if you're being sniped by a Hag, Fayde or Pebbles and want a Shaman's Headdress to be able to survive that. Ophelia isn't the best Barrier carrier, so don't get it if another ally already is.
Tablet is a cheap way to break channeling spells and get people out of Pharaoh's mummies. Since Ophelia often stays back in fights, she's in a good position to break a Tempest ultimate with Tablet. Ophelia isn't a great Tablet holder in general because you're usually focused on creep micro and miss opportunities for a good Tablet use.
Abyssal Skull is a good way to support any melee DPS heroes on your team. It's typically gotten late-game if you have an extra 1500-2500 gold sitting around before a big push, haven't got a Nome's, and need something to buy. If you do get Abyssal, make sure that nobody's already got one, and make sure your allies understand that they shouldn't buy one.
Bulwark is amazing pushing item, and in any push-focused team (some would argue any team) someone should get one. That said, there are a lot of heroes who benefit from Bulwark's armor more than Ophelia.
If your team is short on disables and teamfights tend to involve a lot of running back and forth, Energizer gives your team the extra movespeed to catch up to enemies. Typically gotten after Nome's if your team has a significant advantage and you want to maintain it.
Void Talisman is a very situational item. It should be gotten if you're being ganked by and want to be able to port out before they kill you.
Whispering Helm is decent if the enemy has no AoE and your team's gotten a significant advantage early game; it lets you push quite well and improves your ganking slightly. The 6 minute cooldown is huge, though, so if your creeps are dying at all regularly it's a terrible item. I've never gotten it; I prefer Nome's or Puzzlebox to fill its role.
Codex is terrible on a support hero even with a 28% damage boost. If you want to Codex, play Parasite instead.

Picking a Team with Ophelia
The most obvious aspect of playing Ophelia is that you're going to have two solos, one of which has to lane 1v2. Most of the time this isn't an issue, and a hero supported by Ophelia does considerably better than they would in a regular dual-lane. In more competitive games this is less true. In any case, make sure your team contains two viable solos and a dual-lane. Ophelia fits the support role on a team, and is one of the best heroes to have as the only support because she can farm and level quite well while supporting.
In the context of 1600+/1650+ pubs, I've found that running melee carries or semicarries as the solo sidelaner is surprisingly effective. Heroes like Predator, Armadon, and Pandamonium are beefy enough to survive a 1v2, have great skills to get kills along with Ophelia, and can snowball with good early farm. Again, this doesn't work so well in competitive games. Ranged heroes with slows or disables, such as Slither, Arachna, Flint, Pyromancer, and Puppet Master are pretty good. So are heroes that can put out a lot of damage such as Corrupted Disciple and Silhouette.
You can run a "jungle trilane" with two heroes in the long lane and a solo with an escape mechanism in the short lane. If you do so, make sure that the carry in the trilane knows how to freefarm and the support knows how to keep the lane pulled back. Gank very frequently. This strategy can be devastatingly effective when it works, but when the solo shortlane gets dominated and the trilane fails to kill the enemy you're in trouble.
Ophelia works best in a push-focused strategy, where you can often smash through all the outer towers in the first 15 minutes. She's fairly good at ganking, but lacks the mobility of the best gankers because she's limited by her creeps' speed. If you have a lategame-oriented team, Ophelia can give your carries a head start on their experience, give you the early-game strength to not lose, and gank the enemy to distract them from your carry.
Ophelia works well with tanky carries by keeping them alive with her heals and using Ophelia's Judgement to save them when they start to drop low.
Early Game (levels 1-7, allied jungle)
:WardOfSight: :WardOfRevelation: :HealthPotion: :PretendersCrown: :MinorTotem: :MinorTotem:
:FlyingCourier: :Marchers: :RingOfTheTeacher: :PlatedGreaves:
The sight ward gives your mid-laner rune vision and lets you see incoming ganks. The rev ward lets you counter any wards that block your pull. The health potion lets you heal off any damage you take when ganking. The rest give you gold-efficient stats.
This is how I usually spend the first 2 minutes:
Credit to www.hondb.com for the map image
0) -1:00 - Stand here so you can see if the enemy's coming to ward your camp. If they do, run away, you can't stop them. If you're on Legion and your bot laner has a Hatchet, get them to cut down one or two trees on the north end of the pullable camp so you can double pull.
1) 0:30 - Dominate the large creep here and kill the others.
2) 0:55 - Stack this camp. If the enemy's warded the camp, place your counterward at the blue spot and kill the ward. You might need a flying courier to reveal the ward if they've stuck it in the trees.
3) 1:05 - Gank the lane.
4) 1:20-1:40 - Place a ward on the white dot. Upgrade the courier if possible.
5) If the clock's under 1:30 and you're on the hellbourne, go to (7). Otherwise, go to (6).
6) 1:46 - Pull the camp marked (2)
7) 1:53 - Pull this camp (see Advanced Jungling below).
The lane gank happens at 1:05 because that means your solo is level 2 against 2 level 1s, you have time to clear and stack a camp, and the lane creeps won't get in your way.
Before you gank the lane, you need to check three things:
- Your ally is prepared for the gank
- The enemy heroes aren't near the enemy tower
- Another creepwave isn't going to arrive and get in the way.
For the third point, if your creep wave is approaching or has just passed your outer tower, wait until it engages with the enemy creep wave before ganking. If you don't, the enemy creeps will get in the way of your gank and allow the enemies to turn it around. Get around behind the enemy before ganking. Right-click the creep onto the enemy and animation-cancel with Ophelia; or right-click the enemy with Ophelia and use the creep to block the enemy, depending on positioning and your micro skills. Use Judgement only if necessary; it costs a lot of mana. If you have Plated Greaves, activate them just before ganking so your creeps get +20% damage.
Remember that the player in the long lane is essential to your success. Don't insult him, even if he messes up. Say "good job" after a successful gank. Give him your health potion if he needs it (this happens about 30% of the time in my experience). Pull frequently to keep the lane near the tower and the enemy heroes underleveled. When pulling unstacked camps, make sure your Ring of the Teacher is off and deny your own creeps from 50%. When pulling stacked camps, leave the ring on and attack the neutral creeps (Wolf Commanders first), otherwise you won't finish them before the lane creeps all die.
If you're facing heroes that are hard to gank, such as Wretched Hag and Valkyrie, it's still worth ganking. Keeping them scared makes it much easier for the solo laner to farm. If the enemy has a solo shortlane, gank them every time they leave the safety of their tower.
Upgrade the courier with your first 200 gold if nobody else has; it's rare that anyone needs the courier before this point so you don't need it upgraded at the beginning of the game. Start with Marchers because they allow you to gank more effectively, then Ring for mana regen and more armor for your creeps, then Plated Greaves for more pushing power.
Generally you're at levels 5-7 when most heroes hit level 6, the lanes break up, and ganks get more frequent. At this point you want to gank mid, the enemy jungle, and the short lane, especially if you have a good set of creeps (minotaurs and skeles) on hand.
Once you're level 6-7 and have Greaves, if there's no enemies nearby, you can often push the long-lane or mid tower. If your team wants to, you can also take Kongor.

Get this if you're going to take the enemy jungle. There are a few reasons to do this:
- If winning mid is really important. This often occurs when you know your opponent's mid is a drama queen who will destroy his team if he loses mid.
- If you've got another jungler on your team.
- If the enemy has a jungle War Beast and you want to ruin his game.
- If you think the enemy has a Parasite in your jungle.
It's much worse if the enemy has a hero with a blink-like skill mid, because they're hard to gank.
Start by killing the eastern Hellbourne camp if you're Legion, or the central Legion camp if you're Hellbourne. Gank the middle lane immediately if you can, or once your mid is at level 2 if it's a Devourer or other hero that needs level 2.
Taking the enemy jungle is all about dominating either their jungler, or the mid lane. It's much more difficult than taking your own jungle. The enemy long-laners are quite likely to come in and try to wreck your fun, and their mid might do so as well. You need to have wards up to see them coming and get out of there. You'll want your short-laner(s) to keep the lane pulled back as close to the tower as possible, because otherwise you can't gank that lane.
You'll want to ward the same rune-spot as you would for your own jungle, plus the pullable camp (hopefully an ally will buy the ward for this one), plus maybe the hill near the mid lane. This lets you see ganks coming for you. If you suspect the enemy of warding these places, counter-ward them, as it's far more difficult to gank with wards up. If the enemy tends to run away as you approach, despite having no direct sight of you, they probably have wards up.
Get a boots, ring of the teacher, and plated greaves, for the reasons described above. Try to get another ally to upgrade the courier because you need Marchers and Ring faster. If they won't, upgrade it yourself, as you can't use a ground courier in the enemy jungle.
Mid Game (levels 8-14)
During the mid game, you can gank, push, farm, and support. Knowing when to do each of these is very important.
Ophelia has a difficult time ganking anyone but fragile supports alone. Try and get an ally to help you, as you'll need their disable to set up your Minotaur and Catman stomps, and their DPS to finish off the enemy before they get away. You should focus on ganking if your team has other strong gankers and a decent-to-good lategame compared to your opponent. If you have a hard carry, ganking frequently keeps the enemy afraid and away from your farming carry. Make sure the carry doesn't spend too much time ganking himself, as he needs to farm. If you focus on ganking, ward the enemy jungle thoroughly and counterward the entrances to their jungle. Wards are especially important if either team has a hero like Devourer or Pharaoh.
An ideal gank consists of an ally initiating with a disable, then Ophelia following up with chained stomps and grips. Judgement is used if necessary to get the kill. Remember that your creeps are kind of slow and can't chase a fleeing enemy very well, so if the enemy gets away, there's not much you can do about it.
Ophelia is one of the strongest pushers in the game. If you've got other strong pushers on your team, and the enemy doesn't have too much AoE, you can get all the first- and second-tier towers down very quickly. This gives your team a massive gold advantage, which you can hopefully turn into an easy win. Ophelia can also push a lane alone if everybody else is busy in another lane. This is often worthwhile because your creeps can't teleport to a fight, and you don't need to be near allies to heal them with your ultimate. Of course, come late-game, you need to be there in fights.
Ophelia can farm the jungle and ancients very quickly. If you can't gank or push, you can farm. Ophelia isn't very item-dependent, so don't steal the jungle from a carry.
If you've got nothing else to do, you can stack camps, ward, counterward, and stay near the carry to protect him if he gets ganked. Ophelia is a fairly good candidate for ward-buyer, as she gets a decent amount of money from jungle farm and doesn't need many items. If nobody else is getting wards, as is common in pubs, you need to get them yourself. If a Pollywog or Soul Reaper is getting wards, try to discourage them from doing so, as they need the money a lot more than you do.
In teamfights, control your creeps separately to your hero. I like to have my hero in control group 1, creeps in control group 2, and both in control group 3. Focus primarily on creep micro, but don't ignore Ophelia completely. Make sure your hero doesn't run into the middle of the fight and die; it's a very easy mistake to make in the heat of battle. Sometimes if you outnumber your opponents you can just leave Ophelia out of the fight and focus entirely on your creeps.
Ophelia is good at killing Kongor because the minions can tank damage. You can't solo Kongor since his recent buffs in 2.20, but with your team you can get your carry a token earlier than your opponents expect. When killing Kongor, rotate out low-health minions so they don't die; keep them away from Kongor so they don't get stomped to death. Wolf Commanders, Ice Ogres and Minotaurs are both useful when killing Kongor.
If you're dead but your creeps are healthy, use them to either scout or help your allies out. If they have a really underfarmed support, you can sometimes gank them using just your creeps. It's hilarious when it works.
Late Game (levels 15-25)
Late game is not Ophelia's strong point. The enemy can kill your creeps very easily and laugh off their damage; it's rare to have any creeps survive a teamfight unless your opponents get completely routed. Your role lategame is to provide useful buffs to the rest of the team - 30% damage from wolves, 8 armor from ice ogres, heals from astro, nome's, barrier, and/or ult. If you can stun opponents with minotaurs, that's nice, but sometimes they just die before they can reach the enemy. You have little HP or DPS, so stay in the back in teamfights and don't get yourself killed just to cast Nature's Wrath. If you have a Stormspirit, Ophelia's Judgement into Stormspirit on an ally is extremely strong, saving them provided they can stay alive for 0.5 seconds.
When pushing base towers, try to kill the tower before engaging in teamfights. Ophelia can do this relatively quickly, though the enemy's likely to snipe a creep or two before the fight. Between the tower, the rax, and creeps, there's not much room to maneuver in an enemy base. You're going to have a hard time getting disables off with your creeps, and it's very easy to accidentally draw tower aggro with your hero and take a lot of damage. If a fight goes badly, you can get trapped in the base and killed.
Your creeps are going to die a lot, and you're not going to have too many opportunities to search the jungle for good replacements. A lot of the time you'll make a single sweep of the forest taking what you can get; vagabond assassins and snotter bosses are better than nothing. Don't forget that you can dominate regular lane creeps (but not siege creeps) if your neutrals all died in a teamfight.
Ophelia is reasonably good at split-pushing; let four of your heroes push one lane while you push the other. You can push very quickly without putting yourself in too much danger, especially if you have a Puzzlebox. You can use your ultimate to help your teammates if the enemy decides to fight them. Coordination is extremely important in split pushes; if the enemy has time to kill you and then fight your team 5v4 before they kill a tower, your split push failed. Split pushing is best when the enemy has a lot of cheap AoE which they can use to take down waves and stop regular pushes, but is riskier than regular pushing; you should split push only if you can't push normally.

Advanced Jungling
Hellbourne Hard Camp Pull
At X:53 attack the creeps; if there's skeletons you have to attack the King or they won't stack. Run around the edge of the cliff until you hit the tree, then stop. When Ophelia auto-attacks a creep, run to the lane. As soon as the lane creeps draw aggro, turn around and run back up the hill. If you're too slow running up the hill, the lane creeps will lose vision of the neutrals and go back to the lane. Occasionally, usually at night with Catmen, the neutral creeps won't get aggro from your second attack and will instead go to sleep and walk up the cliff into the camp while asleep. I have no idea why this happens.
If you're really fast, you can use your creep to stack another camp at X:55 while doing this pull. This is easiest with Skeleton Kings because they're ranged.
Legion Double Pull
If you cut down one or two of the trees to the north of the pullable camp, you can pull creeeps from the northeast camp into the pullable camp and draw aggro from the lane creeps. This can be difficult to do, and requires practice to pull off reliably.
Double Stacks
You can stack these two Legion camps at once by pulling the top camp at X:54 or X:55, then running down to the indicated spot to draw the aggro of the south camp, then running left. Doesn't work at night.
You can stack multiple camps at once by pulling one with a creep at X:54 and one yourself at X:56, but the timing on this is very tricky.
Dealing with Parasite
The best way of dealing with Parasite is to wait until 0:02 to pick Ophelia so they don't pick Parasite in response, and not pick Ophelia if they pick Parasite first. If it's BP or BM, you can ban Parasite, though the enemy will probably ban Ophelia in response, or last-pick Ophelia. Failing that, things get more difficult.
Start the game with :WardOfSight: :WardOfSight: :WardOfRevelation: :HealthPotion: :RunesOfTheBlight: :MinorTotem: :MinorTotem:. The extra ward lets you keep tabs on Parasite, and the extra regen deals with his harassment.
Parasite will probably go into your jungle and steal your creeps, then attack you with them. You won't be able to gank, you won't be able to farm, and you probably won't be able to pull. You should accept that your early-game will be crippled, and do as much as you can to cripple Parasite too. You can recover more easily than Parasite can.
If you see Parasite before the 0:30 mark, harass him with autoattacks but beware of being ganked by his allies. Don't grab a creep until Parasite's Infest is on cooldown, though if he's infested the only good creep you'll have to go without. If you don't see Parasite, play normally and hope he's not in your jungle. Try to stack the pullable camp and pull it; if Parasite attacks here at least the fight is close to your tower. Ask an ally to upgrade the courier, you can't really afford to.
If Parasite is chasing you around waiting for you to Command a creep, attack him while animation-canceling away from him. Call for a gank from your long lane. If Parasite decides to run off and dominate some creeps at the other end of the forest, take the opportunity to get some farm. If Parasite is about to jump into your creep, use its ability first so Parasite can't.
If Parasite kills you or forces you back to the fountain, go into the enemy jungle and farm there for a while. When Parasite comes after you, return to your own jungle. The more back-and-forth chasing goes on, the more underleveled Parasite will be.
If you can keep Parasite level 1-2 while either of your solos are level 4-6, they can come in and kill Parasite easily. Conversely, if you're level 1-2 in their jungle, be extremely careful.
In the mid and late game, keep your creeps away from Parasite as much as possible, especially when ganking him. You don't want him to jump in a Minotaur, stomp, and escape. You'll probably have to accept losing a creep to him in most team fights.
This game gives an example of defeating Parasite; it's a pretty bad game otherwise though.
Effective Pushing
Let the lane creeps go out in front to tank the tower damage. Use your Plated Greaves as soon as the creeps start attacking unless the tower's fortified.
If there's nobody opposing the push, send your least valuable creep behind the tower. When the enemy creeps approach, send your creep back to meet them, and once it's drawn aggro, have it run around through the forest. This lets your lane creeps push the tower unimpeded.
Opponents will often place wards to block your creep spawns, or see you coming to gank them. These spots show you where to place Wards of Revelation in order to find and destroy enemy wards. You can tell a camp is warded if no creeps spawn there. You can tell if an enemy can see you coming if they run back as soon as you approach, or if you see them run into the forest for a bit, play their spellcast animation, then run back.
Heroes to Watch Out For
Glacius' Ice Imprisonment lasts 10 seconds on creeps at all levels, dealing a total of 750 damage. Fortunately, Glacius can be easily taken down with only two creeps.
Voodoo Jester's Acid Cocktail stuns creeps for 5 seconds on each bounce, dealing 150 damage. Try to kill VJ if possible before moving your creeps in.
Behemoth's ultimate wrecks your creeps and anyone standing nearby. Be very careful around Behemoth, and try to keep your creeps away from the rest of the team if he's around. Sometimes this will mean not using your creeps to push a tower.
Cthuluphant's Hook 'Em can take one of your creeps, giving the elephant a very meaty shield. Try to avoid this, but it's not the end of the world if it happens.
Skeleton King's Grip has 550 range and stops channeling, even if Tempest has a Shrunken Head. Always keep a Skeleton King in a separate control group away from the fight, ready to stop Tempest as soon as he comes in.
Tips and Tricks
If your creeps are injured and/or out of mana, you can teleport them back to the base instantly with Ophelia's Judgement. If you want to save mana or need to heal multiple creeps, you can have them simply run back to the fountain. If you're getting ganked and are sure to die, you can at least save a creep with Judgement before going down. Saving your allies is, of course, a higher priority.
You can grab creeps from the enemy jungle by sending your existing creeps up to the jungle for vision, then casting Command from down the cliff without having to risk entering their jungle.
Don't kill off entire creep camps in the enemy jungle. Take the creep you want and run, leaving the little creeps behind to prevent the camp from respawning. Of course, you shouldn't do this if you have control of their jungle.
Always pay attention to the game time. If it's X:50 and you're in the jungle or near the ancients, get ready to stack at X:55.
When you're just killing neutrals, attack first with low-value creeps such as Vultures and Vagabonds so they take the damage.
Use the Catman stomp, Vagabond wave and Vulture tornado to take down stacked camps faster. None of these skills affect Wild Hunters, though.
Ward spots which can see neutrals are slightly more useful for Ophelia; they're indicated by white dots on this map.
These games probably aren't very entertaining to watch, but they do show me playing Ophelia and following the strategies outlined in this guide.
Me playing on Legion
Me playing on Hellbourne
Me beating Parasite
If anyone has any replays of exceptional tournament-level Ophelia play, please link me to them, I'd like to add them.

Did you know that when the seasons change you're more susceptible to catching a cold? The fluctuating temperatures confuse your body, and the changing weather patterns are often accompanied by wind, which is considered one of the six pernicious influences that can cause disease.
Fortunately, there's something you can do to prevent a cold AND to recover faster if you do catch one.
If you are:
You can use Chinese Reflexology to boost your energy to strengthen your wei qi (defensive qi for protecting against germs) and help your body heal faster.
Here's are my three BEST articles on cold recovery and prevention:
1) How to Get Rid of a Cold Fast With Chinese Reflexology
This is the article that launched my blog. When my son was about a year and a half old, I came down with a terrible cold. I was so sick I couldn't speak, my chest was completely congested, and I ached all over. I decided to try rubbing a selection of Chinese Reflexology points that I thought might help based on what I knew about Traditional Chinese Medicine.
The points worked so well that I was back to normal in just one day, as opposed to my usual 7 to 10 days for a cold. I thought other moms could really benefit from this 5-minute reflexology routine, so I wrote up an article and posted it on my blog—and the rest is history.
This article has been shared over 12,000 times on social media, and includes a FREE Quick Reference chart that you can download to practice this routine at home.
2) How to Get Over a Lingering Persistent Cough and a Post-Nasal Drip Cough
If you've got a cough that's been dragging on for weeks, read this article! Once you start massaging these two Chinese Reflexology points as directed, it can help you clear away your cough in just a few days.
3) How to Heal Your Sore Throat Naturally With Chinese Reflexology
Need relief from a sore throat? Get better faster by discovering the Chinese Reflexology points for a sore throat and what's really going on from an emotional and energetic perspective. There are major metaphysical energetic blocks behind a sore throat. Learn what they are so that you can clear the stuck energy in your throat.
4) Bonus Infographic: What Color Is Your Snot? – Wind Cold vs. Wind Heat Infographic
If you're curious to learn more about the Traditional Chinese Medicine theory behind colds, check out my first ever infographic. You'll learn why your mom was right to tell you to bundle up and wear a scarf!
I've got a more articles and resources for the common cold, and even a Cold Recovery and Prevention – Chinese Reflexology Self Study Guide that includes videos you can watch and how to adapt these techniques for children.
But, I'd have to say that the top three articles in this list are the ones that I receive the most comments and messages about because people are using the techniques and are amazed at how quickly they get better.
Please bundle up (as my mom used to say to me—come to think of it, she still tells me to bundle up), stay warm, and be healthy!
Take Care,
Have you ever had a persistent cough that lasted for weeks after catching a cold? Here's a simple and natural way to get rid of your nagging cough in just a few days. It also works like a charm for post-nasal drip coughs that persist after a cold and it's safe and effective for children… Continue Reading
If you missed last month's workshop on Chinese Reflexology for Colds, there are now two ways for you to learn how to get over a cold faster and stay healthy even if everyone around you is sneezing and coughing. The recording for the workshop is now available online and I just published a self-study guide… Continue Reading
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the color of your snot is a critical factor in diagnosing and treating the common cold. If you get the diagnosis wrong, you could actually prolong a cold by consuming the wrong herbs, foods and drinks. I'm proud and delighted to present my first ever infographic on, "What Color Is Your… Continue Reading
It's actually very easy to avoid catching a cold. You don't have to bathe in Purell, wear a face mask or avoid small children ;). Show me someone with a cold (other than a child), and I'll show you someone who made a conscious decision several days before the cold to push themselves when they… Continue Reading
Chinese Reflexology Point #3: Tonsils and Throat Here's one of my favourite reflexology points for nipping a sore throat in the bud. It's also one of my least favourite points in this reflexology protocol to get rid of a cold fast. Why the dichotomy? I love this point because it works fast, but it's also… Continue Reading
Chinese Reflexology Point #2: The Sinuses The next point in my reflexology protocol to get rid of a cold fast is the sinus point. If your head is feeling stuffy, especially around your sinuses, this is THE point to massage. There are actually five reflexology points for the sinus on each of your feet, but… Continue Reading
Here's a reflexology massage that will help to get rid of a cold fast. It's simple and easy to learn and takes just 5 minutes. As a mom to a rambunctious toddler, I don't have the luxury of being sick with a cold for a week. Out of necessity, I came up with a reflexology… Continue Reading

Sexy Spirits was established in 1999 in New York City to initiate and expand greater consciousness and awareness into our Livingness as a sexual body. We depart from the premise that we, as human beings, are attempting to become more spiritual, and instead begin with the premise that we are Infinite Beings negotiating with Life as a sexual body.

As organizations begin using and deploying cloud applications, some of their services are left on-premises (for various reasons), resulting in a hybrid architecture. In such deployments, the on-prem services sometimes need to be invoked securely from the cloud. When doing so, an STS can be used to broker trust from the cloud into the organization. Unfortunately, the token issued by the IdP when authenticating end users isn't always available to the cloud-based caller due to restrictions/limitations of the cloud platform. In such cases, the on-prem STS can't be given a token asserted by a trusted issuer that it can validate and transform. As a result, the on-prem services do not have all the data needed to make authorization decisions, enforce licensing agreements, etc. One possible solution to this problem is to allow the cloud-based caller to specify in the message sent to the STS certain end-user-related data that should be put in the token that is minted. This will then be passed along to the on-prem services in a token asserted by the local STS. This idea is shown in the following figure:
At first, this may seem odd since the STS is the asserting party and it is being told what to assert. In cases where there is a trusted subsystem in place between the STS and the cloud app, however, it is safe IMO. Consider the alternative where the cloud app doesn't have the original security token. Since the interface of an STS is restricted to security tokens (by design), the client must create one using the identity attributes provided to it by the PaaS environment in which it's running. In other words, if the token asserted by the IdP isn't available, the cloud app has to cook one up. In this case, it is the asserter, resulting in the same sort of situation where it's the authority not the STS. The nice thing about passing the end user data in the message is that the caller needn't create a security token. There are tradeoffs w/ this approach, but there always are ;-)
The WS-Trust specification allows any XML to be included in the RST that the client sends to the STS. Ping Identity has used this extensibility point in the protocol to allow callers to include name/value pairs that PingFederate should include when minting security tokens. As a result, it is very easy using that STS to implement the sort of architecture described above. To do so, you would configure the STS w/ the attribute names that can be passed in the request, stipulate what to do if they are not (fault or do nothing), and include them in the RST. Totally simple.
To make this even simpler though, I extended WIF's RequestSecurityToken and WSTrustRequestSerializer classes to make the client-side programming model natural and easier for .NET developers. Using these, a cloud-based STS client could pass the end user's identity info in the request rather than having to create a security token. The result would look something like this:
private static RequestSecurityTokenResponse RequestSecurityToken(
UserData userData) { // Send a request parameter in the RST sent to the PingFederate // STS. These should be included in the security token that it
// mints and sends back in the RSTR. var factory = GetChannelFactory(); var requestParams = new RequestParameters("ShoeSize",
userData.ShoeSize, "HairColor", userData.HairColor); var rst = new TravisSpencer.IdentityModel.Protocols.
WSTrust.RequestSecurityToken {
RequestParameters = requestParams,
RequestType = WSTrust13Constants.RequestTypes.Issue, AppliesTo = new EndpointAddress(appliesTo), }; RequestSecurityTokenResponse rstr; var channel = factory.CreateChannel() as WSTrustChannel; var token = channel.Issue(rst, out rstr); return rstr; }
If you have questions about this or if you have this sort of problem and would like to talk, please let me know.

since one man's faith is another's cartoon, is John Kaminski out to
insult almost 6 billion theistic peoples on the planet?
Because, that is the only logical conclusion to where John Kaminski's riling against the Jews will end: "There are no good Jews".
Or, is it more sensible to judge people solely by their acts, not their beliefs?
The actors today of all the crimes against humanity, have indoctrinated their flocks equally to 'united we stand' them – both in the Unites States and the entire West, as well as among the world's Jewry, into respectively supporting the War on Terror, and Zionistan.
The indoctrinators in both cases, today, I believe, happen to be the same!!

The indoctrinators in both cases, today, I believe, happen to be the same!!
response to John Kaminski's article 'The
moral treason of David Icke',
let me first say that I have never met John Kaminski, but
occasionally correspond with him –
mostly to do with his opinions on religion – and enjoy the
friendly jousting with a free-thinker that I imagine John is.
is always good to communicate with rational peoples, and with people
with differing viewpoints, in order to avoid the White House's
incestuously self-reinforcing decision-making process in one's own
John Kaminski likes to talk more than listen, unfortunately. Don't we
many writers actually listen to another? Or try to see a point of
view which is inimical to their own worldview?
following statement of Bertrand Russell, while true for most of us,
is most true for writers, especially the free-thinking sort:
a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index to his
desires – desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If
a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts [or
worldview], he will scrutinize it closely, and unless [and at times
even when] the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe
it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a
reason for acting in accordance with his instincts [or worldview], he
will accept it even on the slenderest evidence." (Bertrand
Russell, Proposed Roads to Freedom, 1919, page 147)
his article, I am afraid John Kaminski has not produced any evidence
to explain his belief that most Jews actually believe in the
abhorrent crap in the Talmud. Just because one is Jewish, it is
presumed that they espouse the supremacist crap in their ancient
even if that was the case, and John hasn't proved that, it is
should one not be free to believe any crap one wants?
man's crap is another man's religion.
long as that crap doesn't become "la mission civilisatrice"
upon others, a domestic policy pivot to enforce unfair laws upon
others, and a foreign policy pivot to wage wars of conquest upon
others, or shall we call that "imperial mobilization"
from Wounded Knee to Afghanistan, I have no problem with it.
any god-damned crap one wants – just don't make me and others
feel its pain!
the sensible point then is, criminal acts are crimes, not criminal
the thought-police may have us all locked up!
this commonsensical principle was also re-established at Nuremberg
very forcefully:
intellectual bankruptcy and moral perversion of the Nazi regime might
have been no concern of international law had it not been utilized to
goosestep the Herrenvolk across international frontiers. It is not
their thoughts, it is their overt acts which we charge to be crimes."
(Nuremberg, Closing Speech, Robert H. Jackson, Chief
Counsel for the United States, 1946)
Kaminski evidently believes that the Jews are the first-cause source
of world's problems because they believe in some abhorrent crap of
supremacy, derived from their scriptures concerning the "god's
chosen people", and corrupted by their Rabbis in their various
Rabbinical Talmuds to mean: lord over
the goy. You want to see perversion of thought? I can show you
that perversity right here where it is not just the goy the Talmudic
Rabbis are supremo to, but also supremo to god itself. Watch it in
Masters of the World:
discussed elsewhere, how is it that such rabidly perverted Chabad
have such stranglehold upon the corridors of political power in the
United States and Europe? Witness it visually in the following
for John Kaminski, the world is in a mess primarily because the Jews
are inspired by their misanthropic dogma of 'god's chosen people' so
appointed to lord upon the goy.
wait just a second – even so, how are the Jews able to do it?
gives them that "iron wall" protection which opens for
them all the political doors in almost the entire Western world?
have discussed this elsewhere
in the context of Palestine. Here, the only point I wish to make is
that these ill-begotten mullahs of zionism
are representatives of a power so immense, that the errand boys in
the front offices of governments across Europe, the United States,
and Great Britain, recognize these perverted shlomos
to be the emissaries of that immense power – no differently
than the ordinary pale-skinned colonel in knickers could brow-beat an
Indian Maharaja into handing over the previous year's harvest simply
be demanding it!
the Maharaja knew that the measly
chicken-shit colonel who couldn't stand a chance in a boxing match
with his Indian servant, represented an un-challengeable
imperial power from across the seas! If the Maharaja wasn't nice to
empire's errand boys with an open smile and open backside, the
imperial power would bring on even greater munificence
than simply the demand for the proceeds of last and this year's
power, variously represented today by the "hectoring hegemons"
rather than the pale-skinned colonel in knickers, and who eagerly
front for a similar greater power of the oligarchs who rule from
behind the scenes, happen to be self-proclaimed Jews across the
hierarchy of power. And just like
yesterday, many a white man from Christian lands,
still willingly carry his own white Anglo-Saxon's pale-skinned burden
of "la mission civilisatrice", upon his own tortuous
back! As is reported in Edwin C. Knuth's The Empire of 'The City':
the study of the struggle for space and power, forms a well-developed
science with an extensive bibliography, which conclusively impeaches
the superficial fabrication, with which the American people in
particular have been implanted with consummate cunning, that the
great World Wars are caused by brutal attacks upon world law and
order, instead of being the fully anticipated consequences of the
most diabolical double dealing and planning by the secret 'One World'
order of 'The City.' ... 'It is the destiny of the pure Aryan
Anglo-Saxon race to dominate the world and kill off or else reduce to
a servile status all other inferior races.'" (Edwin C.
Knuth, The Empire of 'The City', 1944 AD)
have previously responded to John Kaminski in an article
sufficiently, which was a response to his own previous article: "Why
no Jewish Writer Can Be Believed", to warrant rehashing it
again. His present article is really more of the same, just going the
next logical mile for John Kaminski to now condemn all Jews, writer
or not. I'll just leave a link to my previous response below. I
remain entirely un-persuaded by my
free-thinker friend John Kaminski, as I do on many of his other
points on religion as well. But my new friend and interlocutor is
just as entitled to his beliefs as the Talmudic Rabbi. Just don't
force its enactment upon others.
I will note as a Muslim, that Muslims have lived with the Jews for
centuries and don't share such dismal sentiments of John Kaminski:
"There are no good Jews. Except for extraordinarily infrequent
exceptions, there ARE no good Jews. They take a vow every year never
to tell the truth. They believe other people are animals, and that
Jews can steal other people's property with no penalty (as long
as they don't get caught by a gullible goy lawman)." And:
"That's why Jews make such bad neighbors, because we're
only just animals."
reader might take my opinion more than a tad seriously – since
Muslims are the people today bearing the full brunt of the largesses
of the Jewish Lebensraum in Palestine, and World Government in the
'untermenschen' nations, and if anyone should be upset, its us. And
those largesses are being visited upon us in our cold red blood on
the backs of the Christian white man now bringing us 'untermenschen'
their Jesus (
). The same white man who previously colonized my lands and left me
English to write these comments with:
What then shall that language be? One-half of the committee maintain
that it should be the English. The other half strongly recommend the
Arabic and Sanscrit. The whole question seems to me to be-- which
language is the best worth knowing?
I have no knowledge of either Sanscrit or Arabic. But I have done
what I could to form a correct estimate of their value. I have read
translations of the most celebrated Arabic and Sanscrit works. I have
conversed, both here and at home, with men distinguished by their
proficiency in the Eastern tongues. I am quite ready to take the
oriental learning at the valuation of the orientalists themselves. I
have never found one among them who could deny that a single shelf of
a good European library was worth the whole native literature of
India and Arabia. The intrinsic superiority of the Western literature
is indeed fully admitted by those members of the committee who
support the oriental plan of education.
It will hardly be disputed, I suppose, that the department of
literature in which the Eastern writers stand highest is poetry. And
I certainly never met with any orientalist who ventured to maintain
that the Arabic and Sanscrit poetry could be compared to that of the
great European nations. But when we pass from works of imagination to
works in which facts are recorded and general principles
investigated, the superiority of the Europeans becomes absolutely
immeasurable. It is, I believe, no exaggeration to say that all the
historical information which has been collected from all the books
written in the Sanscrit language is less valuable than what may be
found in the most paltry abridgments used at preparatory schools in
England. In every branch of physical or moral philosophy, the
relative position of the two nations is nearly the same.
How then stands the case? We have to educate a people who cannot at
present be educated by means of their mother-tongue. We must teach
them some foreign language. The claims of our own language it is
hardly necessary to recapitulate. It stands pre-eminent even among
the languages of the West. It abounds with works of imagination not
inferior to the noblest which Greece has bequeathed to us, --with
models of every species of eloquence, --with historical composition,
which, considered merely as narratives, have seldom been surpassed,
and which, considered as vehicles of ethical and political
instruction, have never been equaled-- with just and lively
representations of human life and human nature, --with the most
profound speculations on metaphysics, morals, government,
jurisprudence, trade, --with full and correct information respecting
every experimental science which tends to preserve the health, to
increase the comfort, or to expand the intellect of man. Whoever
knows that language has ready access to all the vast intellectual
wealth which all the wisest nations of the earth have created and
hoarded in the course of ninety generations. It may safely be said
that the literature now extant in that language is of greater value
than all the literature which three hundred years ago was extant in
all the languages of the world together. Nor is this all. In India,
English is the language spoken by the ruling class. It is spoken by
the higher class of natives at the seats of Government. It is likely
to become the language of commerce throughout the seas of the East.
It is the language of two great European communities which are
rising, the one in the south of Africa, the other in Australia,
--communities which are every year becoming more important and more
closely connected with our Indian empire. Whether we look at the
intrinsic value of our literature, or at the particular situation of
this country, we shall see the strongest reason to think that, of all
foreign tongues, the English tongue is that which would be the most
useful to our native subjects.
The question now before us is simply whether, when it is in our power
to teach this language, we shall teach languages in which, by
universal confession, there are no books on any subject which deserve
to be compared to our own, whether, when we can teach European
science, we shall teach systems which, by universal confession,
wherever they differ from those of Europe differ for the worse, and
whether, when we can patronize sound philosophy and true history, we
shall countenance, at the public expense, medical doctrines which
would disgrace an English farrier, astronomy which would move
laughter in girls at an English boarding school, history abounding
with kings thirty feet high and reigns thirty thousand years long,
and geography made of seas of treacle and seas of butter.
We are not without experience to guide us. History furnishes several
analogous cases, and they all teach the same lesson. There are, in
modern times, to go no further, two memorable instances of a great
impulse given to the mind of a whole society, of prejudices
overthrown, of knowledge diffused, of taste purified, of arts and
sciences planted in countries which had recently been ignorant and
In one point I fully agree with the gentlemen to whose general views
I am opposed. I feel with them that it is impossible for us, with our
limited means, to attempt to educate the body of the people. We must
at present do our best to form a class who may be interpreters
between us and the millions whom we govern, --a class of persons
Indian in blood and colour, but English in tastes, in opinions, in
morals and in intellect. To that class we may leave it to refine the
vernacular dialects of the country, to enrich those dialects with
terms of science borrowed from the Western nomenclature, and to
render them by degrees fit vehicles for conveying knowledge to the
great mass of the population. --

February 1835, in the British Parliament, and soon afterwards, we had

British colonies: "a class of persons Indian in blood and

how many were Christians?
how many were the Anglo-Saxons, who, inter alia, killed 10 million of
the inhabitants of the native Americas, forcibly settled it with
genocide, with General Sherman regrettably
expressing to his son before he died:
very same army that had recently conquered and occupied the Southern
states – led by Generals Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan –
mass murdered Indian men, women, and children during the winters,
when families would be together, with massive Gatling gun and
artillery fire. In a letter to his son a year before he died (1889),
Sherman expressed his regret that his armies did not murder every
last Indian in North America."

expressed in my letters to Dr. David Duke and Professor Kevin

Jews, inter alia, for the multiculturalism and open immigration
policies the Jews subversively introduced into the United States, and
also into Western European countries, diluting what these Christian
white man perceive as their white man's culture. In his
extraordinarily perceptive book the Culture of Critique, Kevin
MacDonald very eruditely analyzed 'multiculturalism' as the tribal
dynamics of survival in a singular majority culture which has, at
times, been inimical to the well-being of the minority Jews.

Multiculturalism diluting the White Man's Burden?
Prof. Kevin MacDonald,
wonder if you might comment on my letter to Dr. David Duke,
specifically the last main paragraph. You are an outspoken critic of
multiculturalism yourself. Several years ago I read your interesting
book CoC. I also read some of your essays every now and then.
What you share with Dr. David Duke, is in that last passage of my
letter to him. Most of the authors who write for Vdare.com
(submission noted below) also evidently hold that view. And so did
Eustace Mullins, as evidenced in his glorification of Shem in
his book The Curse of Canaan, as the only distinguished
harbingers of world civilizations. The white man today bemoans his
loss of advantage at the altar of multiculturalism, an advantage
often gained, which history tells us, at the point of perfidy and
sword. From the East India Company bringing the white
man's burden to my lands, perfidy, to the noble white man
settling the New World by exterminating its indigenous inhabitants,
sword. Yet, when I point this inconvenient fact out to the outspoken
harbingers of white man's civilization bemoaning the loss of their
primacy advantage to an even greater hegemon, they entirely ignore
me thus adding to my confusion-space. I hope you will not do the
I humbly request is that you kindly publish my letter to Dr. David
Duke, since evidently neither Vdare is going to do it, nor is David
Duke going to respond, and offer your cogent refutation of its
pertinent passage if you feel I am indeed confused in thinking that
principally, the grapes are sour! Otherwise, I hope you can
straightforwardly admit your own narrow self-interests have as much
to do with objective scholarship and moral supremacy as the narrow
self-interests you critique of your nemesis, the Jews. As an
'untermensch' having long endured the munificent largesses of the
white man's burden, I am never confused by hectoring hegemons
and their pious doctrines of conquests which often come wrapped in
profound scholarship – they live and perish by the same values
they espouse. It is only the pious complaints when they lose which
confuse me. I quite anticipate the indomitable Zionists to be making
similar arguments someday as the pious white gentile is making
look forward to you, as a public scholar at a publicly funded
university, to gently remove this fog of confusion which tends to
surround me in the West anytime I try to think for myself. No one
else is ever willing to address a plebeian's confusions which, I
dearly suspect, may be quite endemic among the silent
'untermenschen' comprising the great multicultural milieu in what
was once a peaceful mono-cultural land of the native Americans.
Ebrahim | Project Humanbeingsfirst.org
following is what I wrote Kevin MacDonald for instance (see the
sidebar), inviting him to interlocution, which was greeted by the
usual enthusiastic silence – as I noted at the beginning of
this article, which erudite pundit with a bullhorn likes to listen to
the 'untermensch's' perspective, especially among the self-righteous
who have performed their hajj after eating 900 mice!
My letters to the erudite Professor of psychology, Kevin MacDonald,
and to the (presumably) recovering Klu Klux Klanner,
Dr. David Duke, both of whom evidently favorite of many a white
supremacist now repackaging their age-old white man's
burden as merely protecting the
white man's culture
from cultural contamination, un-mincingly
hone in to the heart of the matter. Namely, that Western Christian
hegemons who perfected the very modus operandi of divide
and rule with perfidy and
enslavement of the 'untermenschen', now facing an even greater
'ubermensch' hegemon chosen
by none other than god itself out to conquer even them under the
combined weight of their dysfunctional history of living together for
2000 years, are merely crying "foul"
because the grapes are sour!!
is so brazenly transparent that it can only fly unchallenged
in the pious West, unequivocally demonstrating to the world
that even in their virtuous dissent, the intemperate white man
piously riling against other races and other religions using the race
and creed constructs, principally remains a hectoring hegemon at
heart. Of course a zebra can't change its stripes anymore than a
feline can stop eating mice! Only the foolish mice would believe the
cat's feigned protestations. This is the pertinent passage from my
letter to David Duke which I invited Kevin MacDonald to refute if I
was mistaken about grapes being sour:
also live in the United States, I came here to study, got married,
had kids, and they are born in the USA. They are as American, while
of the Asian stock, as any who came across the Atlantic and settled
here by exterminating 10 million of this land's native peoples. To
you, I am a vile intrusion into your white America because of the
multi-culturalism perfidy of the Jews which diluted your
race-cultural dominance in a land which your own ancestors criminally
emptied of its native race-cultural dominance. It is not clear to me
on what moral grounds you can complain – the grounds,
evidently, of arbitrarily starting the clock on the time axis that is
convenient to you. Those are some of the same characteristics in your
own nemesis today in their analogous forced re-settlement of
another's land. There is a lot more in common between Zionistan and
Americanistan than you care to admit. Both the leaders of the two
'tans' admit it openly [however], as evidenced on the 60th birthday
bash in Zionistan, deconstructed by yours truly here: Celebrating
Israel's 60th Birthday in the 60th year of the Nakba.'
--- Zahir
Ebrahim in letter to David Duke, December 16, 2010
la mission civilisatrice
now evidently spans the gamut of Kaminski's inimical infighting:
"There are no good Jews"
to their mutual collaboration: "It is the destiny
of the pure Aryan Anglo-Saxon race to dominate the world and kill off
or else reduce to a servile status all other inferior races."
I am so impressed with this Hegelian mind-fck!
non-Jewish Western folks riling against the Jews can only recognize
that their problem in the so called "Judeo-Christian"
civilization with the Jews is exclusively the baggage of their
peculiar history that both are forced to share, and that, this
baggage of history not only colors both sides' perceptions of each
other, but also does not exist in the Middle East, Iran, India, and
elsewhere, except for Zionism, which is indeed a project of the
Rothschilds (links below), they might see that the grotesque
generalizations made by John Kaminski like "There are no
good Jews", are not only patently false, but patently
these generalizations were universally perceived to be true, then the
Muslim societies where Jews have lived peaceably for centuries after
centuries, and thrived at the same time, before the onset of Zionism
which has today indoctrinated the world Jewry in no small a measure,
would also share in that outlook. But we, the Muslims, generally
don't. We are more than 1.25 billion Muslims, and more than 3/5 of
all humanity lives outside the West who don't share such 2000 year
old burden upon our cultural ethos. Hence, these bizarre
generalization are false!
so if these are generally false, then are they particularly true
merely in the West? I'll let the white man sort out their internal
squabbles on who might carry the greater burden of la mission
for Lord Macaulay, despite his admission "I have no knowledge
of either Sanscrit or Arabic.", he bequeathed
us more than just English, he bequeathed us the 'brown sahib', "a
class of persons Indian in blood and colour, but English in tastes,
in opinions, in morals and in intellect."! The fifth columnist
in our developing nations like Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh, our
feudal classes, and most of our ruling elites, are largely drawn from
this cess-pool of brown-sahibs and Uncle
I am supposed to be all riled up against the Jews - who I believe to
be as much victims of Zionism as any Islamofascist is of empire's
cultivation, "tickling", and harvesting?
any "Good American" is today of their own indoctrination?
one can accept that Christian and secular Americans are indoctrinated
from birth into a perverse flag waiving 'united we stand' asininity,
what makes one reject that the Jews are also similarly indoctrinated
since birth to their own perverse flag waiving for 'zionistan'?
the special exemption for the Jews from that acute understanding of
social and political science?
the Americans be asked to give up Christianity and the phantasmal
material in their Bible? They are bombing the world aplenty to surely
warrant it! Then why are the Jews being asked to give up what's in
their phantasmal books?
a Muslim, I find much to critique in both faiths' scriptural texts
that exist today, just as atheists find the entire lot rubbish,
including my faith, Islam, and my holy book, the Qur'an; just like
Jews didn't accept the Messiah, the Jews and Christians together
didn't accept Prophet Muhammad, and the modern atheist thinks all of
it is bunk and he knows best – the illuminated one!
see link below for my perspective article, Islamofascism -
Zionofascism - Judeofascism - Christofascism - Neofascism etc. An
equitable distribution of Collateral Language!
since one man's faith is another's cartoon, is John Kaminski out to
insult almost 6 billion theistic peoples on the planet?
that is the only logical conclusion to where his riling against the
Jews will end!
is it more sensible to judge people solely by their acts, not their
actors today of all the crimes against humanity, have indoctrinated
their flocks equally to 'united we stand' them – both in the
Unites States and the entire West, as well as among the world's
Jewry, into respectively supporting the War on Terror, and Zionistan.
indoctrinators in both cases, today, I
believe, happen to be the same!!
plan, for world government, for making a
"Zion that will light up all the world", has common
financiers as most already know. But do see the study links below to
learn from an 'untermensch' what he has
learned perusing the fabulous "intrinsic superiority of the
Western literature"!
would just like to mention in conclusion, without harboring any false
sense of modesty, that Lord Macaulay also
made a mistake. Alongside the 'brown-sahibs' and assorted 'house
negroes' and Uncle Toms, he also spawned English-speaking 'field
negroes' who, albeit in a tiny minority, can today go head to head
with any white man without adopting the white man's burden!
The latter is a humble gift of my faith, and some commonsense. In
fact, commonsense alone is sufficient when the heart is permitted to
guide the reasoning of the head:
you for reading – if you got this far!

Response to John Kaminski's "There are no good Jews" 14

text:
As Christmas approached, Gina and Samantha Palmieri thought it would be nice to spread holiday cheer and brighten their Corona neighborhood.
But how?
A walk across the street to their friend, Renee Smith, provided not only the answer, but an education they never expected.
Smith, a Corona resident since 1975, grew up in Pittsburgh. She told the sisters about the luminarias that would be placed along the curb in front of the homes in her neighborhood when she was growing up. How about making luminaria kits and selling them to the 40 or so homeowners on East Monterrey and Wren roads?
What a great idea, said Gina, 11, and Samantha 9, who were ready to fill bags of gravel and put candles in them and then sell them. Thatâs when they learned the first lesson from Smith: âWe need a plan.â
Before she retired, Smith worked on defense contracts in the aerospace industry.
âWe are constantly scheduling and planning,â she said.
The first step, Samantha recalled, was âgetting our parentsâ permission to do this.â
With encouragement from Joe and Nicole Palmieri, the girls held meetings with their mentor and created to-do lists with deadlines for each step.
They wouldnât know how much to charge for each luminaria kit until they knew the cost. So they got prices. They wouldnât know how many each homeowner would need, based on placing luminarias at four-foot intervals, without measuring each homeâs frontage. Rather than using a yardstick, Gina discovered that five of her steps equaled four feet, and thatâs how she measured.
With that done, they decided to charge 50 cents for each kit.
While Gina measured, Samantha knocked on doors, leaving a flier they had designed. âMost people were very nice,â she said. âOne man even gave me an extra $5 in case someone couldnât afford them.â
As of Sunday, Dec. 16, the girls had assembled 196 kits. On Thursday, Dec. 20, they will deliver them to each home, along with instructions. The plan is for each homeowner to light the candles on Christmas Eve.
The sisters, both of whom attend Lincoln Alternative School, said the experience has taught them the value of organization and planning, along with having fun and realizing their goal of brightening the holidays â" literally and figuratively â" for their neighbors.
With any money left over, they will share it with their parents and donate the rest to the homeless and St. Judeâs Childrenâs Hospital.

Most of us have heard about how the media won't report on black-on-white crime. We also may know that authorities sometimes sweep it under the rug due to political pressure, usually with a wink and a nod. But not so in rural Alabama, where the police actually told a white crime victim that they "don't mess" with a local black motorcycle gang.
The tragic event that led to this shocking admission occurred on March 28, as truck driver Nick Stokes and neighbor Johnathan Cooper were heading out of Birmingham hauling a portable cabin. While rounding a curve, one of Stokes' tires slipped and kicked up some gravel, which angered a black motorcycle-gang member who was in close proximity. The gangster -- part of the notorious "Outcasts of Alabama" -- gave chase and tried to force Stokes to pull over to the side of the road. Here's what happened next, as reported by the Macon Beacon's Scott Boyd, whose piece has been published online by J. Christian Adams:

If the authorities won't respond, then Vigilantism is the only sane choice.
As you go out each day, ask yourself if your are entitled to protection by the state under current leadership. Protect yourself accordingly based upon your answer.
As you go out each day, ask yourself if your are entitled to protection by the state under current leadership. Protect yourself accordingly based upon your answer.
Stokes and Cooper should have been on the phone in continuous contact with the police until the police met them somewhere.
Looks like its open season on whites, and the haves.
Me either.
Should have look into having a SWAT response.
The race war has already started.
Go armed, and whenever possible, don't go alone. The left is full of radical groups that hate you. They don't care who you are.
"they "don't mess" with a local black motorcycle gang. "
I would. Motorcycle riders are easy targets. They would all be severely injured or dead within weeks...one by one. If the law won't find justice, I most certainly would. We created the law to protect us, but that doesn't mean we gave up our rights to do so for ourselves when the law decides not to.
Hate to break it to you... but Zimmerman is not Mexican.
He's an American with a Peruvian mom.
"Outcasts of Alabama" doesn't seem to bring any Google hits other than this story. Sort of an odd story.
Don't look for trouble, but be prepared for it if it finds you.
Anyone in an F-250 who stops for an obviously hostile motorcyclist is not thinking clearly.
He's not Mexican.
The only reasonable response is to hurry up and get your concealed carry permit while you can.
Zimmerman is 100% Mexican. He is an illegal alien immigrant.
Something about this story doesn't seem right. I will wait for more details. Sounds like some people may be making up a story to get some attention.
Looks like ol Charlie Manson might yet live to see Helter Skelter come along!
I think the "race war" talk is a bit loose. Of course I blame the "elite" on both sides of the phony divide, since they seem to be stuck in some fantasy land of irreality.
Holy cow!!
I live in Tuscaloosa, and I never heard of this.
Of course, the Tuscaloosa News is a piece of NY Times crap, so I seldom read it, but still. It should have been a topic of conversation at the office among those who do.
Actually? The Mexicans won't but the Cubans might.
Someone call the hells angels.
"Now youze can't leave..."
We've caught the darkness... you can feel it.
It all started with flash mobs robbing stores.
And getting away with it.
Things might be different today, if...
As Zimmerman learned or is about to learn: Mess, and "mess" can be conscrued as defending or protecting yourself, with Holder's protected and you are own your own.
This summer should be interesting for Whitey.
The driver of the truck has it right though... set the GPS for the closest police station and don't stop till you get there.
Because in a case like this, unless there is video or eyewitnesses with lots of courage (good luck, with a biker gang!), you will have no one to back up your side of the story, and 40 bikers that will backup the perp.
The old maxim, "I'd rather be tryed by 12, than carried by six" will come into play, and you will more than likely lose in a he-said she-said incident like this one.
Rather than buying more guns than you can fire at once, keep one good pistol and one good pump shotgun in the vehicle, and install video surveillance.
You're right - that's it - lawlessness - chaos - a darkness....
"Looks like its open season on ***whites***"
You misspelled "unarmed victims".
Never happen. To have a war, two sides must be fighting. There is only one side fighting. When a member of the White side fights back, the other Whites along with the Blacks gang up on him.
"The race war has already started."
And whites, have yet to return meaningful fire.
For decades.
I agree. Outcasts of Alabama only hits this story in Google. Sounds flakey.
Anyone want to dial up the police dept. and see if there is a report on record? At least the stabbing should be, if nothing else.
I was once told by a policeman that they wouldn't go into a black neighborhood, even to patrol. This was 10-15 years ago, in NY and the force was thoroughly integrated. IIRC the idea was to avoid backlash, riots, what-have-you, though I suppose they also worried about getting shot or sliced. I don't think they'd had a riot in decades and maybe they wanted to keep the good times rolling, even if they had to ignore drug runners, hookers and burglars.
I don't know that it makes all that much difference but Zimmerman's mother is from Peru, his father is white. Mexican gangs are primarily interested in drugs and territory, I doubt they would get all worked up over what appears to be a political pissing contest. (What's in it for me?)
I just read the story about him being a white hispanic,so assumed he was Mexican..What ever he is he is getting the shaft and if Obama and Holder will not do their job then it will mean someone will..Be it Mexican,Irish,Jew,etc...The black panthers should be arrested for putting a bounty on Zimmerman..and Jackson and Fat al should all be arrested ..
What!?!?! The shooter was a wetback??? I had no clue. Not one clue. They oughtta just tell the clan, i mean the black panthers to do what they like.
"Zimmerman is 100% Mexican. He is an illegal alien immigrant."
lol!! I had to read that twice to get the intent. Grenade tosser!
I went shopping with my wife today and had a pair of 38s and a couple of speed loaders with me. My wife feels safer when I'm with her, especially if she goes to the mall.
I never go out with out at least one gun, and usually I have two {depending on the weather and the type of outfits I can wear}.
Maybe not for long if such outrages continue. Perhaps "strange fruit" might even reappear on trees if cooler heads don't prevail.

I paid $400 and change for C&J handgrade and they probably costs $600+ BNIB from C&J itself. G&G raised their prices as well over the last 3 months.
Inflation is a bitch.
