The Artist General's Letter To Trent Talbot and Brave Books
Dear Trent Talbot,
You and I spoke at CPAC-Texas a couple times, and I have to say, my nephews love The Freedom Island map and books, and my sister-in-law couldn’t stop laughing when she read The Plot Against The King. Personally, I love the idea of combining art, education, and counter-propaganda in order to fight the Marxists’ art, indoctrination, and propaganda. It’s brilliant, which is why at CPAC I spoke to you extensively about how Brave Books’ The Freedom Island series’ campaign planning and structure parallels The Artistic Lifestyle’s Operation Bookzkrieg, which is the publication of 52 books in 52 weeks in order to short-circuit the left’s fascistic stranglehold over information through censorship and cancel culture. Needless to say, I am still shocked Brave Books’ book-a-month strategy matches The Artistic Lifestyle’s book-a-week strategy. I guess great minds think a like.
Allow me to reintroduce myself, Trent. My name is Matthew Brdecka, and I am a Marine Corps veteran, Ohio State alumnus, political scientist and counter-propagandist who is in the process of building The Artistic Lifestyle. With the mission of improving minds, bodies, and souls through the principles of lifelong learning, self-discipline, self-improvement, artistic expression, and physical, mental, and spiritual fitness, The Artistic Lifestyle provides physical and technological platforms in order to educate, train, and support artists in becoming Artist Warriors and Artist Warriors with the scaffolding to develop their own encyclopedias and universities of art and science, which encapsulate our artists’ individual consciousness of their experience of the universe. In other words, The Artistic Lifestyle will evolve into a new university system, which will make the contemporary American K-Doctorate public and private schools and universities obsolete. At The Artistic Lifestyle, Artist Warriors ‘graduate’ with businesses, products, portfolios, business plans, marketing campaigns, etc instead of diplomas; therefore, providing our artists with business, science, and art portfolios to market their professional brands instead of worthless resumes, references, and cover letters.
The Artistic Lifestyle’s mission is divinely inspired to enter the darkness of people’s minds obsessed with sexual deception, drug deceit, and death and show those in the darkness the light like Acts 26:18 and Matthew 4:16. I am warrior for Christ, but my art is the furthest thing from sunshine and rainbows. My artwork teleports people to the depths of my own personal hell, so I can show readers the way out of their personal hells. Every book target markets specific demographics whose consciousness and souls are perpetuating the cycles of physical, mental, and spiritual abuse. For example, my first book Wartime Memoirs of Drunken Debauchery is a confessional collection of memoirs about my struggles with faith, women, and alcohol, but my struggles with faith, women, and alcohol in Red Shorts of Courage: The Scarlet Letter are quite different. God’s manifestation in my artwork grows as readers read more and more books with the ultimate books being solely about faith and my walk with Christ.
The fundamental problem with contemporary ministry is the use of the Bible to market the Bible. Why would people believe words in a book? They believe in neither Jesus nor God, so why does it matter what you say the words say in a two thousand year old book. I write books about sin to steer my readers to the books about overcoming sin in order to finally read the books about my walk with Christ like Dear God, Mission from God, White Eagle, Letters to the Church, Spiritual Warfare, and Operation Winged Rapture. What does Matthew 4:16 and 6:23 have to do with 13:52? We as Christians must evolve our use of scripture in the 21st Century. We have the blessing of the internet, so we can glorify God, and yet, no one hashtags scripture like #Matthew4v16.
Let’s use the Parable of the Sower from Matthew 13 as a parable for Operation Bookzkrieg’s target marketing strategies and campaign. Each book is a seed purposely designed to grow in different soils. Some seeds grow along the path. Some seeds grow on rocky places. Some seeds grow in the heat. Some seeds grow among thorns. Some seeds fall on good soil. However, no matter which type of soil seeds are born to grow in, they grow like parables into Matthew 13:18:
18 “Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: 19 When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path. 20 The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. 21 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. 22 The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful. 23 But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.”
How do we apply The Parable of the Sower to The Church? To business and marketing? To apply for jobs? To apply to universities? To dating? How many different ways can Matthew 13:1-58 be read and interpreted? How many ways can Matthew 13 be applied to our lives? Seeds sown in the darkness can still grow, which brings us to The Parable of the Net. Even though I share the name of the tax collector, I am a fisher of men and my books are like nets, trolling the dark seas, fishing for lost souls, and saving those we can from being tossed into the blazing furnace of furor and frenzy and the gnashing of teeth.
My work takes planning like The Freedom Island series’ campaign took planning. Unfortunately, I am currently a one man army, but I have spent the past five years free writing for free. Well, I wrote for Brdman.com and then The Artistic Lifestyle, and I did sell a few copies of Wartime Memoirs of Drunken Debauchery and Booger Platoon using The Parable of The Sower to sell books on dating apps. Unfortunately, I published these books too premature, because I was trying to start a writing career and buy a ring at the same time. My first two books’ 2nd Editions will be a part of Operation Bookzkrieg, but they do need some spiritual readjustment. My first two books are two of my darkest collections of poetry and memoir. Like I mean. I was using black magic and I didn’t even know it, but that’s another book in the High and Long series, The Great Awakening.
Ideally speaking, I want to publish Operation Bookzkrieg during the 2024 election season. I messaged President Trump a number of ways, because my work will devastate liberalism and the Democratic Party during the election by freeing President Trump and the Republican gubernatorial, senatorial, and congressional campaigns’ from press scrutiny. If I were to accomplish this, I would need a team of about 6 writers to copy my style and patterns, and help me finish the books. Please, let me know if you or Brave Books is interested in working with me and The Artistic Lifestyle on publishing Operation Bookzkrieg. I know don’t know if you know Tucker Max, but I am sure he knows half a dozen of writers thirsty to kick out 52 books in 52 weeks.
Since we spoke, I realized finishing the rough drafts to The American Holocaust series was more daunting of a task than I thought, so I do not have full manuscript, and I need break after writing over a thousand pages in a year. With that said, I plan ahead and multipurpose all my work, so I posted sample chapters on The Artistic Lifestyle’s The Revolution Substack, and I listed the hyperlinks below. If you’re interested in publishing The American Holocaust in the short term and Operation Bookzkrieg in the long term, send me and email. Thanks for your time.
Respectfully,
Matthew Joseph Brdecka Artist General The Artistic Lifestyle drbrdman@theartisticlifestyle.com www.TheArtisticLifestyle.com
