Jim Bishop Castle Builder

[fxyeti]

I was there the day after Thanksgiving this year and was awestruck! Jim is a remarkable and extraordinary artisan I wish he would've been there to shake his hand and personally hand him a U.S. Debt Note of 20 fake and unsupported dollars. I also just about got a hernia looking at all the rock he harvested and stacked up! The cat walks are dizzy-ing and I just walked the first level I can't imagine how scary the ones at the top must be.

[wizenhiemr]

ohhhhhh sweet insider info!!! I am going there next week and i didn't know he was into bohemian grove!! this is going to be a great conversation

[thetwinkleturnip]

I swear this guy gave us a ride from Steamboat Springs to Encampment WY. His truck was filled with all this "technology" that permitted him to speak to the dead and contact aliens.

[mykylc]

He's not dangerous. He's just fed up with this Government like a lot of people are.

He's probably the freest man you'll ever meet. I was proud to shake this mans hand yesterday.

[TheAspirito]

No offense to him, I agree with him on some of his points, but I think he's a little dangerous.

[jirsa28]

Waste of space. Racist rants don't make you a hero, they make you an asshole.



[sourstrawzzz]

@jirsa28 waste of space? more like beautifying space :p lol. also i didnt hear anything racist on this video unless he has said things in other vids.

[garnet4utube]

Our founding Fathers got this angry and they built a country, the only thing Jim is misssing is an organized support group called Patriots.

[pnutbutrncrackers]

What I didn't appreciate about this video is that it seemed the 'filmmaker' was really just trying to bait Mr. Bishop, knowing how tightly-wound he was. I find such motives insincere and unworthy.

[bloodshot13]

Wow I love this God. He's right on with everything he's saying in this vid.

[Jaydub16hockey]

met him today, remarkable.

[hoikevinhoi]

hes pretty smart he knows bout bohemian grove

[ZugbruckMusik]

My band has recorded a song about Jim Bishop, we hope to release it later this year on our next album.

[Dramabeatz34]

This man help me and some friends jump start are car it was intense had to have been there good guy and funny as hell

[tito70001]

hello lord jim,I want build castle.in one first moment I Thinked a castle in rock but I reject firts concept because are long long time and much money.

now I want my castle in borks and cover imitation rocks.

I haven,t free time and I have small money.

I know the time for build castle,30-40 years.IF I have much money I will make the work and I don`t work other people because is a special and personal work.

hello fron spain,from galicia.

[moshhon]

I SALUTE YOU SIR!!!...(tho I would advise refraining from negative displays of passion!!! - it does your message little go0d!! and only serves to alienate you from the go0d people....tho i applaud and respect your perspective!!--the TRUTH Is hard to hear for some ..especially when you are yelling it!!...tho you are nearer to the truth than most can accept!!!)...keep building!!!! )

[Johnzalez]

Sane? When we arrived last weekend, Jim Bishop was screaming about "n!ggers" and "whores" in front of my 3 year old son. As I tried to quickly usher my son away he started screaming nonsense about Disney movies and dildos. I don't know the last time I heard such racist and vulgar filth. He's not a patriot, he's a hate-filled moron.

[tophlovr]

Wow ANGER MANAGEMENT classes WOULD BE GREAT for HIIIIIMMMM

[piderwadeywine]

"ww3 is just around the corner." -Jim Bishop

[tazzman10000]

i know jim we held the first battle of the bands there this a one mans dream leave it where it is free for all

[texasthug44]

My family just got back from the " Jim Bishop" Castle!! AMAZING!! JIM BISHOP for PRESIDENT!!........throw in a couple of Anger Management Classes and you've got my vote!!!!

[Pag11asus]

Yeah he sure does get on rants but he is good man and he knows his stuff just ask him yourself i did great individual.

[Malissa122]

My dad and uncle grew up with Jim Bishop as family friends (and his parents were my uncles' god parents). My dad said that for the fourth of July one year he lit up a stick of dynamite haha

[ZugbruckMusik]

I plan to visit the castle in October, really looking forward to meeting Jim.

[TheBeautybox101]

i just went to the castle and it was beautiful Jim Bishop is a Riot!!

[PaulPaulMan]

I met Jim Bishop once just after 911. He is very eccentric, but he is also very nice and generous. There is no doubt in my mind he will become more famous in time. Will someone please forward this to John Elway and Lance Armstrong! This is a must see castle, I suggest anyone who hasn't been take a trip there for inspiration in life.

[Aboxatax]

He really reminds me of Aileen Wuornos, the serial killer. Go watch her last interview and note the similarities.

[revolutionstrtr]

Jim Bishop for Prez!!!



[Kiahsobyk]

I bet by now John Elway HAS heard of Jim Bishop.

[Kiahsobyk]

Last true castle in the world--under siege and winning all the battles!

We salute you, Mr. Bishop!

[jbutte]

Jim Bishop FTW !

[psyhobill5150]

hes the coolest crazy bastard on the face of the earth!

[continuityofliberty]

"Me, Myself, and I!"

I've heard of you Jim! You're newsworthy!

Keep rockin' that castle (and the false foundations of tyranny!)

[Abrin19]

I love this guy! Fantastic! A man that looks crazy but say all the right things. Thats the truth right there.

[MrChameleon2010]

Hey cameraman. Don't be a coward. Show your face. Give us your name. Why are you mentally terrorizing this man?

[cagwa]

Insanity.

[bishinghampalace]

a like minded fruit bat. from Jim Bishop UK

[Crystalbell5346]

I'm a democrat, always have been, always will. Democrats are closer to what I believe in then Rebulicans. What I didn't think I would get out this speech was an anti-partisan view, what we all need to do is realize that one party or the next is not controlling and hindering are views. Our views are our own!!!! WE MUST REALIZE THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO ASSIMILATE TO BE HEARD!

[20Phonzieftw]

Man, I haven't been there since around the mid-nineties. The last time visited we got to meet Jim for the first time in all his glory. We were on one of the higher levels at the time and he popped in from nowhere. He was scaling the outer walls or something.

He was pretty friendly and calm at first but something sparked him and he went into government hate-mode. Punching himself in the face as he ranted.

He went out a window opening and disappeared leaving us in awe.

[wyo7011]

I never knew Jim Bishop was such a badass!

[barrelracer10000]

This is something that makes me laugh! What a funny vid and interview with Jim Bishop. LMAO

[Ooloosoon]

....We NEED to put this guy in the White house.

This dude could SAVE THIS NATION Folks!

[piercedsquid]

I believe that people of such genius and with such an intense drive as this man are almost always a bit loony. It's a curse that attaches itself to a blessing such as they have. Even if they are perfectly normal early in their life, their drive, and their tendency to shut out everything else, and fret over the most miniscule details often isolate them and drive them insane.

[psyhobill5150]

@piercedsquid sounds like a qualified observation

[johnlvs2run]

Jim Bishop inspired me to build a retaining wall seven years ago.

I'd been wanting to do it for a long time, he's the one who inspired me, to take off the limits and to it, which applies to everything.

[welderhondadrew]

Lmao i like this guy, yells to much but hes got valid points and a hell of a work ethic, hat's off to crazy man jim =D

[fireandhammer]

As a mason, ornamental metal fabricator, and general lover of "TRUE" freedom, as crazy to some as Jim Bishop may seem, this man is a true craftsman and a true patriot unlike those in DC. I can only dream of finishing and pulling off what he has. Thank you Jim!

[MrSkate4weed]

he lost his 3 year old son a while back when he was cutting down a tree and it fell on his son

then the government tries shutting down his creation, his life work during the same year

someone creates something magnificent, creative, and original so the government responds with aggression

FUCK THE GOVERNMENT

[greenjeep1]

I just went to visit the castle yesterday and of the numurous times i've seen the castle, yesterday is the first time I ever witnessed one of Mr. Bishop's rants. I thought he was crazy ut after seeing this video i realize hes not. This guy is determined, if the castle ialone isnt proof of his determination, the fact that the governmebt, local, state, and federal are afraid to send the guy a letter is. I wish i could figure out how to get the government off my back.

[TheSilverhorn]

I have visited this castle and I will tell you that I am a construction man for 40 years and Jim Bishop had my undying admiration. I still can't believe how one human could do all this much by himself. A true patriot and genius!

[Grenadier1944]

Although I do believe Mr. Bishop has a few ego problems, he does deserve a ton (or several tons) of respect for the work he has created and his fight against oppression and tyranny from our own government. I was really disappointed that he wasn't at the castle when my family visited a few years ago, but I hope to make more frequent trips to CO after college and Bishop's Castle will always be one of my stops. Good luck and God bless you, Mr. Bishop!

[ijunkie]

Please don't antagonize Jim. He's obviously been through a lot and has a lot to yell about. Just leave him and his castle alone, unless you wanna drop a dollar in the box.

[kd0bgz]

I sorta love this guy....... but damn son! He's gonna die young with all the tension. He does great work and he knows it, and so the govmnt wants a piece too..... this is our system that we let loose!

[essaysoftware]

Won'te back down

I have not seen such encouragement since I was a kid. The EVOL for it grows !

[NewWorldOklahoma]

I don't believe in religion but I believe in god!

[shostetler]

damn, I wouldn't want to talk to him... even if I do agree with him, he's one fucked up dude. He could get much farther by not yelling about everything.

[kosmosleha]

this guy is correct about the gov. but he is kind of fucked up

[freesk8]

He is absolutely right about the government.

[tacobelldong]

I really want to do a photoshoot there. Does anybody know how I could get ahold of this guy so I could ask him about it?

[MateoMartin1]

he is listed in the Pueblo phone book, 719-564-4366

[tacobelldong]

Oh awesome thanks!

[tony4pres]

@tacobelldong You can do anything you want there. He's had wedding and all kinds of things at the castle. There is also seven (If I remember correctly) people buried on the property and in the walls of the castle. Before the freaks start to make up there own theory on how they died it was from natural causes and they wanted to be buried on the property. He's a super generous man but very passionate about what he believes in. if you stop by at lunch bring Jim a nice homemade sandwich.He loves it

[moigboi]

You think you are impressed? Go to Colorado and SEE this truly UNBELIEVABLE work. Taking pics are like trying to photograph the grand canyon---you can't really capture it. I went to the top of one turret, up a long winding staircase, and the sheer height scared me! Imagine a 20 story building....you are looking down at people like they were ants. THAT is how high up you are!! How he did this by himself is incomprehensible. GO SEE IT, you will not regret it I promise!!!

[fearandloathing42]

Jim Bishop is of the Last of the True Dreamers. I've had the privilege of witnessing his Castle growing over the last 15 years. The man is a hard worker and if you have an ear, will fill it up. Then he'll make you hotdogs on an open fire..It leaves me in suspense to know what the final product will look like

[avfcforlife15]

Bitch copied my name!

[gfarmer1mytsu]

I met John Bishop in summer of 05. He is an inspiration. The castle is intmitating. the dragon head towers over you as you enter the first floor. the towers themselves give you a feel of smallness until your up on it.

[punkforchrist]

your spelling is intmitating.

[Campolin27]

who is Roger Staubach? John Elway..? never heard of em... Lance Armstrong rings a bell... wasn't he the first guy on the moon? Jim Bishop... oh he's the beast that built that badass castle on his own, and out of the goodness of his heart made it free and open to the public, great man.

[Coeleomic08]

Though he admits he never finished highschool, he isn't afraid to show his opinion. He touches on points that I can agree with despite his incoherent ranting. Although what sounds as if it might be uneducated statements looks actually a bit like psychosis.

[facelessmusik]

made my day.

[readynow12345]

OMG I'm speechless this is awesome

imagine had he gone to architectural

school,

[mrskgnept]

I love you man!!! Tell them like it is!!!

[Thegrammie1]

I had the great experince to visit Bishops Castle 2 years ago. My brother lives in Trinidad and he took me there. What an awesome place. To think one man did all that. It was a wonder to see. the workmenship in this place. I had 3 of my grandchildren with me on that trip. I got to listen to Mr Bishop talk about t he government and how it has been un american to him in his efforts what he says is true what he knows is from history and his knowledge is awesome.Great place to so see. Loved it.

[Jccourier2004]

When I was 19 years old ( 1989 ) me and a girlfriend at the time was on our way back to Louisiana when we stumbled upon this place . We enjoyed our visit till my girlfriend said the wrong thing then he went off on some rant and scared us off . If your reading this Mr. Bishop ....SORRY !!

[Lav0052]

I just went to his castle and I think Jim Bishop tells no lies and desirves all the fame he could ever want because who has this kind of ambition anymore?

[trikilla]

He is one angry man! I stopped once and he started going off. I grabbed my kids and got the hell outta there! Cool castle though.

[dmbfan07cb]

poor you, so scary. you could have probably stood to know hat he needed to say.

[kaykay893]

lol love him!! some friends and I went up there a few months ago he was stil going off!! GOTTA LOVE IT!!

[Forzanucci]

Mr. Bishop, You a True American and the most sane person that i have ever seen., looking forward to shake your hand.

Taking a trip to the Castle soon with the kids.

[FreemanInColorado]

People should understand their rights. The Constitution was designed to keep us free. We unfortunately do not follow it and have not done so for years. So we are becoming less free with each new law of court ruling.

[subliminalmaster]

sad part is....its not the courts anymore...its the whole government steam-rolling regulations on us. Be thankful for what you have today.....tomorrow it could be gone.

[ricksharpy]

@Forzanucci This is an awesome cut of Jim! He is our hero and we should take lessons from him. True Grit to heart..............Amen.

[GreystarGaming]

@Forzanucci I wouldn't go that far. Sure, he knows his shit, but he is clearly not in control of his emotions.

[america4hemp]

your rghit brainstorm555 ! united we stand

[BRAINSTORM555]

what heys trying to tell us is the common law and crim

are the only ones we need to know Acts are NOT LAW

so the Act that says we cant say smoko weed ...

Has no power at all the courts just made it up

[rebelliontotyrants]

This man is the most sane person I have met. I love his passion. Its sensible and he knows what he's talking about. I love this guy and can relate with his incredulity. He's righteously angry because they put him in jail and he knows his principles under the law. I love his architectural art. It is just superb. He is an inspiration to all Americans. I really understand him. He is my hero!!!!

[anyusmoon1]

Mine too, sir. Agreed!

[movies1239]

No I've never met his wife, nor him. But that doesn't mean I can't. And how do you know in the near future, his dying wish might be to have his castle completed?

And as I said before, I'd still help him. And just because he's yelling etc, doesn't make him crazy. He's speaking the truth ain't he? He pissed the government tried to take away his creation, is he not?

"it will never be finished," where in the video did you hear him say that?

[mortisnoctu]

Jim Bishop is the man!!! That castle is amazing!! He sure is right about being newsworthy.

Keep building Jim!

[lizzabbott]

YYEEAAHH! We LOVE you, Jim!

You speak the Truth! Of COURSE you're angry! We stand with you & we are Mad as hell, too.... & we're NOT gonna take it anymore! But don't just get mad, GO NOW to campaignforlibertyDOTcom & sign the new Petition, to PASS THE BILL TO AUDIT THE FEDERAL RESERVE! This is the most pivotal Action in the 2nd American Revolution to RESTORE OUR Rights! Do it now & pass it on. Also watch & pass on the new film, The Obama Deception. Google & watch it online TODAY!

[Boscovius]

I ran into some peaceniks holding peace/anti-war signs in Toledo Ohio today on my way home from work. I took the time to stop and introduce myself and ask them if they'd heard of the Campaign for Liberty. They'd never heard of it. I spoke to them for a spell and told them that as long as the Federal Reserve can act as Congress' enabler, the Military Industrial Complex will keep humming along quite nicely. I strongly urged them to look up Ron Paul and the CFL and JOIN UP! Strength in numbers

[lizzabbott]

Boscovius, that is GREAT! Nice job! You are a true Infowarrior! This is what makes a difference. I do stuff like that, too. My youtube mail basicly doesn't work, so I'm replying here. Stop by my myspace & look around ( U can even if yer not on myspace) or better yet, friend me if U like. I have interesting activist friends w/ good info. Cool music friends, too! myspace/lizabbottmusic ( only ONE "Z", unlike here). Remember to sign the petition to pass HR 1207 at campaignforlibertyDOTcom PASSITON

[Butterflybreakfast]

Beautiful work!!!  I will spread the message! :)

[movies1239]

Now I'd normally would say this guy was crazy, but he was speaking the TRUTH! :D I got respect for him. And if he dies before finishing his castle, I will personally go out there and help his wife finish it :)

[missinghome1]

i dnt care if u guys like me. i dnt care if u dnt like wat i have to. wat are u ganna do i thought this was america... so stop freakn written me asking me what my problem is. i just dont like this stupid video. you guys can worship and love jim bishop as much as you want!

[wolf3001]

Im going there in a few days I hope I see him.

[howaboutgolden]

Jim Bishop is my new favorite human being. I love this guy, screaming rant and all. I totally agree with the facts he is stating and can completely understand his intensity and anger. however the yelling makes me chuckle a bit.

[awesome442]

this guys fucking crazy me and my dad talked to him for like an hour

[movies1239]

Why is he crazy? Is he crazy for making art? Is he crazy for building his own home? Is he crazy for being his self? Is he crazy for being eccentric? Is he crazy for getting mad, because the government wants to take over what he's been creating for over 37 years?

Why is he crazy?

[watcherFA]

Interesting guy.

Anyone who trusts the government is the REAL crazy person...

[devildogmre]

Yes. True, true.

[howaboutgolden]

sorry that was supposed to be a reply messge not a general comment.

[atthemurph]

Jims right..............

All the sheep know it but are too fearful to say it.

[BIGTUNAx]

There is nothing wrong with Jim Bishop or his love of freedom. We are Americans, we have lost our God given freedoms that our Constitution so eloquently states. We are no longer free to pursue our happiness in any form. Government regulations are killing the American dream.

[jeeyaz]

This guy doing the interview is a loser. You need to have more respect for Jim. You sound like a damn child interviewing him.

[mafiosogiacomo]

why hasn't this gotten more publicity!?

[tardbuster007]

give 'em hell Jim!

[elementskaterxl]

poor guy. he's going to have a heart attack one day. i wonder what his IQ is. he's some kind of genious. he doesn't fit in with the rest of society. kind of like all the other great geniouses.

[tardbuster007]

he's been snorting pulverized granite...

[lantzn]

Hard work like what he does builds a STRONG heart. It's the lazy, gluttonous group of elitist he speaks of, that have heart attacks.

[barbieprincess92503]

So... I doubt he'd let me have a wedding there....

[acefadi6969]

jim is the shit..

[EugeneMarks]

BUAHAHAHA!! Yeah this guy is the SHIZ!

This dude needs his own sitcom.. Was turned on by this dude on Wreakreation Nation Discovery show..

[LordFalconsword]

A rare Libertarian. Bless the man, and more power to him. Screw the government, we want our Constitutional Republic back!!!!

[sicksgun]

The Orginal Hulkamaniac! Grrr! (Pumps Arms)

[Tallrin]

I used to cook steaks for Jim and his wife in Colorado City at a place called Ol'Zan's. Hes a pretty cool dude. I forget when, but he got the dragon head on top of the castle to breath fire. It's awsome.

[dgexodus]

hes not crazy! HES MAD AS HELL AND HE ISNT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE! HE REFUSES TO SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP! FUCK THE GOVERNMENT AND THE GLOBAL ELITE!

[mapulento]

Jim Bishop Castle Builder

God has made you a great man,

and you have proven god to be great in return.

You might also be here to help your fellow brothers and sisters, with becoming free of and permanently removing those people who get there profits or riches from curruption and antichrist actions against gods people.

You are news and can be more.....

[allthatzpazz]

Right On Jim Bishop!!!

[tjwilly]

Jim rules! Awesome vid. The Bohemian part had me laughing so hard...

[godbluffvdgg]

he is the man, and one hundred percent right. If you see this jim, Keep up the good fight. the G sucks

[Outlaw7jbj]

He's right about the Patriot Act and FDR, but he's not a debater.

[airwavepaul]

I'm with you Jim Bishop Castle Builder

Your the mannnnnnnnn.

[celticguardian951]

that guy's crazy I met him He's outta wack lol bbut he and his castle are cool though

[joeysixtysix]

He is 100 percent right. Cool guy.

[cac198892]

ahh jim..lol!

i love the crazy old man.

[avpshifter]

uh he knows the fact but crap calm down dude lol. Religion isnt more political crap... Wonder if he reads the bible... Just a little scary lol

[selphandeye]

I was at this castle last September with a geology field trip...it is damn amazing for sure. As for missinghome1...wow. If that comment means what I think it means, that's pretty rough. Would be tough to live with this dude probably...but the freakin castle is a true work of art and wonderful monument. Pretty amazing that he does this with the rest of the week other than work...that's dedication for sure.

[daftpunker27]

this guy is a hulkamanic

[EUVALE]

I am from Rye but live in Washington DC now (sadly) and Jim is an awesome guy! He knows the facts and plain honest. Listen to him!!!!!!

[nitnoy77]

Yikes, what a huge change. I live in Denver, lived in DC before here...just went to the Castle yesterday...Rye and DC are definitely two different worlds. The Castle is bananas though...I'm glad I had a chance to see it.

[LordFalconsword]

No one gives a shit. He's a unique man, not another drone. Deal with it.

[LordFalconsword]

Sounds like you need some counseling, or maybe a kitten to hug? Don't be such a hater.

[LordFalconsword]

Okay hosebeast, I guess you're just spoilin for a fight? No, I don't want to live with him. But me and others DO like to hear his wisdom concerning the make-believe republic we live in. I grew up with a violent alcoholic mother, so don't play 'poor me' games kid. Just STFU and move on.

[DigitalRecollections]

what exactly is it that you despise about his character?

[jefferyakathedude]

My first visit to his obsession was in 1990 and have gone out of my way to see how it's progressed over the years. A classic Jim-rant there my friends!

[1concertlover]

Thank you for posting.. I've been there many times(1st time was 25 years ago and wow how its changed!) and spoken to Jim on several occasions.. It's an amazing structure and feat. Everyone should visit it.. Especially while Jim is still alive.. And yes, he speaks the truth!!

[mjhargis]

He speaks the truth!

[harmlink2]

The best part of the whole video is ....

Jim Bishop--"are you taking me to task"

Jeff--"NO, Heck no im not!"

[jhargis1]

I'm Newsworthy!

Its me, myself, and I!

Me and God are a team!

Does anyone know who Morlock is?

[howaboutgolden]

search the web for "Moloch"

Jim seens to me to be referring to the powerelite burning the effigies of children to the giant stone statue of Ba'al an owl form of the Phoenician Moloch god at the Bohemian Grove.

[gocubsgo01]

This is great! Not sure what Bishop quote is my favorite...we'll go with this one for now, "I've done as much as John Elway, or Roger Staubach, or Lance Armstrong. I've heard of them, have they ever heard of me?"

Pretty sure the answer is no.
