Bourdain in Ethiopia for hs CNN show taping with another "celebrity Chef" Marcus Maya Samuelsson
I can't remember what exactly I was watching when I had this "flash" about Bourdain's "suicide."
Of course Bourdain looks creepy with his tattooed arms. And his super skinny body (especially his legs) indicates a drug-addict's appearance. But cooking for one's job is tough. Cooking is tough, period. The heat, the slippery floor, all that washing, setting the timer, and setting it right, so food doesn't burn, or worse over-cook (you can throw burnt food out), tasting, and finally the verdict (too much salt will get the frying pan out!) A "celebrity" "international" chef is not a glamorous career. Traveling is very tiring. You get sick in foreign, third world, lands which even the best of treatment and the most sophisticated "anti-malarial/anti-bacterial/anti-everything" medications cannot prevent.
But Bourdain was a good sport. He enjoyed traveling despite its grueling schedule. He sat down and ate with the "natives." He went beyond the food and really tried to understand the cultures. He was professional and kept up his CNN reportage diligently.
But. No-one was able to report on the "suicide note." We don't know what it said and even to whom it was addressed. Presumably it is to his young daughter. He split up wth his wife (or she split up with him more likely), and was with a new girlfriend, who also split up with him recently! These professional feminists just cannot stand the idea of supporting a man with a super busy life who would have time for them only during brief "down times" and when all he wants is a comfortable and familiar home with a wife and family who can welcome him full heartedly. Think of soldiers and warriors who, if they didn't have their stable homes and loving wives, COULDN'T fight dedicatedly. Who would they be fighting for?! Who would Bourdain be cooking for?
Asia Argento, his new girlfriend, used to travel with him, but I guess the exoticism wore off when she was left in empty luxury hotels as Bourdain went off into the common quarters to find that special local dish. She was seen wandering around with a new boyfriend.
The conclusion by journalists is that Argento's new affair was what triggered off Bourdain's suicide.
Maybe so. The account I have written certainly can explain it.
But I don't think so. A man dedicated to his work, a kind of a chef-warrior, seasoned, experienced and who has probably been through all kinds of social and professional obstacles, doesn't suddenly kill himself because his new girlfriend split up with him.
Others say that he contemplated suicide for a long time because of a nihilistic streak of "is life worth living?".
No. If you have travelled at all, you know that traveling, and with a cause (like finding great recipes) can be invigorating. And Bourdain was with people all the time. Helping people. Talking and joking with people. Showing the world in his globalist liberal way that we are all one big close-to-happy world. A bit like his close-to-happy chef's life.
Maybe if he had built his career solely in a big city (like New York) and was a drug addict in his super-luxury enclave (like Kate Spade), abandoned by wives and girlfriends and pushed to go on by his heroin and other drugs, he might have become that white male suicide victim.
Perhaps. But how many alcoholics and drug addicts commit suicide?
The statistics of white male suicides is apparently on the rise. But is it really an epidemic? Does Bourdain fit that profile other than "middle-aged white male?"
Here is an interesting video which suggests that his shift towards more conservative ideology may have ignited the wrath of his globalist liberal followers. The youtuber - goes on to say that Bourdain might have been privy to all kinds of illicit and illegal international activities, like pedophilic sex trafficking, prostitution rings, border-crossing guides for illegal migration, etc. etc.
Alex Jones at Info Wars: Learn What Anthony Bourdain Was Planning To Say Before He Died
This makee complete sense. If he talks to village henchmen in an African village, they will TELL him things surely. If he cooks with the local chef in some South Asian town, he will reveal the next river crossing on the way to Australia. He cannot enter into these Third World countries without the special permission of the top leaders of these countries. And so on.
This fits with Bourdain's do-gooder personality. His missionary-chef zeal. Hs one-world ideology.
Before we jump on to band wagons that white men are killing themselves off and dying like flies, let's not put every suspicious death into the same basket.
The what male is still strong, clever, curious, intelligent, an adventurer, and an inventor.
The anti-white anti-West pushers will push this angle to make this curious, and charmed species appear to be on the wane, to be dying out.
If they repeat it enough times, he will begin to believe it. Some in fact do believe it.
Once the white man's psyche is weakened then all kinds of other things can be rammed in. And, then the final demise of the western world will have been achieved.
I say NO. Bourdain - chef-warrior - should receive a plaque at the very least. Make him into a cult figure, I say to all young men. Learn from him! He may be full of faults, but who isn't? He's one of the best examples you have in this white-loathing world. He's one of yours.
