The Eclipse of 2024 in Ohio: When immortality is observed in all its magnificance

I’ve seen eclipses before, but this one in 2024 was different, especially since it was close to where I live in Liberty Township, Ohio.  The totality band was going to be very nearby, so once we received a decent weather report and had the exact path agreed upon by analysis, we found a good RV campsite in Rossburg, Ohio, to set up a base and make a real thing of it.  My crew is very interested in those things, and it certainly made a difference that all three of my grandchildren are inclined toward intelligent things. Even at age seven, one of them is showing a Thomas Edison level of genius, so we wanted to make this a unique experience for them.  Plus, getting out the campers after a hard winter was a chance to stretch our legs a bit.  For an eclipse, the event was scheduled to occur between 1 and 5 PM on April 8th, with the totality of darkness happening around 3:07 PM.  So rather than wait in some parking lot for that specific event, we took our homes on the road and were very relaxed.  So relaxed that we stayed at that campsite for a good part of the week.  It was also my birthday on the 9th so we made quite a thing of it.  We got up on the morning of the 8th, ready for a front-row seat of a great celestial anomaly.  We didn’t have to get up and go anywhere to observe it, so already that was a good thing.  We had a nice breakfast at our campsite, the kids played fervently, and the adults had some raw downtime to talk in ways there was never time for, so we had a very nice experience. 

It was worth it; by the time the moon had blocked the sun 100%, there was a nice halo ring around the celestial bodies that blocked out most of the light from the sun, and the stars came out.  On all horizons, it looked like a sunset for about 50 miles in every direction.  But directly over our heads, it was essentially night.  I put a video up with speed advanced to see that narrow 4-minute period where day became night, and we had two sunsets on the same day.  That particular part of the world is indeed in God’s country. Our campsite was in a flat open area with no trees close, and our campers were essentially pointed in the direction of the whole event as if it were a giant IMAX screen put there for our entertainment.  For a last-minute campsite, the one in Rossburg was fantastic.  It had a couple of lakes with fish and a beach for the kids to play in, which was quite nice.  And for four minutes of totality, everyone could geek out on science and optimally enjoy the eclipse.  All my kids would be lucky to ever see an eclipse like that again in their lives, and we were happy to have the chance to share it together.  Life has so many moving pieces, and getting so many people together to do something like this is hard.  And the celestial show did not let us down.  Even I found the whole thing to be a bit of a miracle and a sensational opportunity to study science in the field and contemplate larger concepts.  The little kids, my grandchildren, were overwhelmed with the spectacle, which is what we wanted for them, and it was obvious that interests were sparked in them at that moment that would last a lifetime.

During the totality, I couldn’t help but think of Tecumseh when he famously predicted an eclipse and an earthquake along the New Madrid Faultline by St. Lewis.  I also thought of all the conspiracy theories that had led up to the eclipse as people tried to make sense of such a meaningful event to human minds.  For instance, why were their ten towns named after the Biblical Nineveh along the path of the totality in North America?  Did many of the Masons who organized these towns initially know this eclipse would happen mathematically, and they set fate to play host to some celestial significance rooted in ancient astrological belief systems?  What role did this particular eclipse play in Jewish rituals, and how planned were they for this event in 2024?  And what results were produced by the particle collider at CERN, which was supposed to have gone off at that exact moment of the totality band in America?  All that was playing in my mind as we watched the eclipse unfold.  Yet, for me, it looked purely like a regional thing.  We had gone to that location because at home, even though home wasn’t very far away compared to other places that we’ve gone, the whole experience was a regional one.  Obviously, celestial observers witnessing events discussed in the Bible would only be important to those experiencing even the most dramatic events.  Most people in the world wouldn’t even notice that there was an eclipse at all.  The sun would dim a bit, and if you didn’t have special glasses to look at it, you would not see the moon passing in front of it.  And wouldn’t even know what was happening, if anything at all. 

The world did not end, and after that event, I continued to think about how humans bring meaning to natural occurrences to attempt to understand the cosmic significance.  As creatures of nature, we tend to do that, where nature happens, and people may observe it, but the importance may not have any significance other than three celestial bodies interacting with each other, the sun, the moon, and the earth relative to their positions.  Suppose anybody hung around long enough over billions of years. In that case, our Milky Way galaxy will collide with a neighboring galaxy, and there will be all kinds of disruptive, likely destructive, celestial events on a grand, epic scale.  This eclipse was a regional thing that had harmless consequences and reminded all the humans watching it, that there was a lot more to existence that they needed to understand.  And that they attempted to bring meaning to the passage of the moon in front of the sun in very specific places in North America was an interesting observation of relativity, but not much else.  But humans have minds, and they think and observe. So many stories came to their minds saying that they were doing what nature intended them to do, to take nature and make meaningful the occurrences in a way that shapes necessity in interesting ways.  The ability to think was the most miraculous event that day, to see a celestial event and to bring human meaning to it as a greater cosmic significance.  We certainly enjoyed it; we wanted all the kids to have something important to think about and see as gloriously as possible.  And to create memories that would last for years, even longer.  There would be more eclipses, not in that part of the world, but they would happen.  But they would never occur under that collection of circumstances ever again, where meaning was created by the minds observing it.  And what is born of that meaning is better than nature for its own sake and is the stuff that makes immortality such a grand word.

A.I. and Robotics are the Keys to Future Economic Development: They don’t call off, do drugs, and protest for government expansion, which makes them wonderful

I am not afraid of technology in any way; ultimately, A.I. and robotics will end up working with people in much the same way as they did in Star Wars, as actual characters built by humans, but part of the real story of history as it expands.  Being worried about technology taking over the world, in some Terminator way, I think, is giving technology too much credit.  As I have said, the most dangerous thing in the world is a government unchecked to develop bioweapons like COVID-19 to terrorize the world behind the shadows of Davos, Switzerland.  And to let artificial intelligence go off and develop in similar ways such an example is scary.  But that is a current and significant problem, whether or not humans do it or artificial intelligence.  This is a reason we must have an effective government, to protect people from vile threats to the human race, like the World Economic Forum, but limited in what it can do to individual rights, so that government can never become so big that it abuses its authority tremendously, such as we have seen over the last several years, especially since 2020.  I understand the concerns about transhumanism, but I also know its need, which was presented quite well to my wife and I recently when it was late and we were hungry. We hadn’t had any dinner, and we were both exhausted.  So we went to the McDonald’s close to our house for some quick food.  Now, I hesitated going there because since Covid, they have struggled at this location to staff it adequately, and almost every order we have had from them has been horrendous; they miss lots of stuff, get the order completely wrong, and charge the incorrect amounts.  They have been slow because their staffing levels were inexperienced and unmotivated, and they often called off too much from work, making them short-staffed.

A trip I made with some friends to a Cincinnati area robotics manufacturer. There are some excellent options out there.

Many McDonald’s locations are now utilizing at least an A.I. menu board, which takes orders much better than humans do, and it works great, which was our experience at this particular McDonald’s.  It probably shaved 45 seconds off our total interaction time in the drive-thru, which is very important to me.  I often don’t have 45 seconds to give to anybody, so speed and accuracy in a drive-thru exchange are critical to me.  Our experience at McDonald’s was excellent that day, another thing I warned about years ago.  All this talk about pushing the minimum wage has devastated the economy, and I warned everyone what would happen.  Commercial outlets would replace human workers with machines, robots, A.I., or whatever they could handle.  That is certainly the case at Walmart today with self-checkouts and now at fast-food restaurants.  The labor it takes to keep open a fast-food restaurant is relatively high, and wherever you see a collection of them, such as at a highway intersection, there is a lot of labor needed for that area to sustain itself economically.  So, artificially impacting the profit margins of an economic enterprise has been devastating to anybody concerned with hiring labor.  To pay for the extra workers, companies must cut the amount of staffing they have to make for all the numbers to work out.  Socialists and communists think that businesses exist to provide jobs and that by forcing companies to pay an artificially high wage rate, they are doing everyone a favor.  But companies exist for the marketplace, for real economic value, so meeting those needs is their first concern, and when labor is artificially high in value, then all kinds of financial problems emerge when it comes to the amount of work produced. 

This a robot that is specifically for inspection. It works really well!

I included an accompanying video of a recent trip I took with some friends to a Cincinnati manufacturer of robotics, for my interest is to see what they could and couldn’t do.  Because it’s a simple math problem.  You don’t want to limit your economic development in a culture by the availability of labor, especially with Ohio legalizing drugs, the government using Covid to try to get everyone to work from home, people dependent on government for subsidiary income, welfare, and putting unmotivated people into the workplace, then having all the same companies trying to hire all the same people to do work.  Suppose there are only 300 million people in the United States available to do work, including the millions of migrants inspired to invade our country by the Biden administration.  There isn’t enough labor to sustain a 19 trillion dollar economy with a yearly GDP.  So if labor is not available, or if that labor has been tainted with destructive politics that has not prepared the marketplace with viable talent, then you have to solve the problem some way, and the most obvious is to do as McDonald’s and Walmart have already been doing, and that is to automate as much as you can and use robots to do the routine work that humans have traditionally done.  If you don’t, there is no way to facilitate the economic expansion that could take an economy like America up over 19 trillion dollars.  Suppose you want to do more work in a culture. In that case, utilizing the workforce properly is the key, and you can’t allow yourself to be limited to the availability of labor if you want an economy to grow. 

To make matters worse, not only is the labor of this current generation tainted with laziness, drugs, and horrendous work habits, there just aren’t enough of them.  With birth rates down, we don’t have enough labor to meet the economic needs of our commercial demands, so we have created a constraint.  But like the Japanese, who have used their limited labor well with a relationship with robotics and other means of simplifying labor constraints, there are many automated examples of economic expansion without actual human bodies building it.  Then there are the gross inefficiencies of the Chinese government, who have over 1 billion people ready to work, but they still can’t produce more economic output than America because their government is their primary constraint, as a communist, centralized government.  For America to recover from its 35 trillion dollar deficit, massive economic expansion under President Trump that pulls off all the restrictor plates is essential.  And there aren’t enough human bodies to perform the work, even if every illegal immigrant in the many millions was put to the task.  It wouldn’t be enough for the opportunities, economically, that are coming our way with the space race expansion.  So, I’m excited about robots and A.I. and whatever means of production can be utilized to fulfill market needs. Instead, I don’t like to see a lack of labor holding back an economy.  When I want a sandwich from McDonald’s, I don’t desire a bunch of excuses about call-offs and lazy, pot-infested losers holding back the economic exchange.  Robots and A.I. never call off work.  They don’t do drugs, drink, get divorced, and go through complex social hardship spells in life.  They are consistent and do what you program them to do.  And they don’t talk back.  They don’t protest for the government or demand paychecks when they aren’t doing work.  They are always there, and for an economy in need, that is what we all need for labor in the future.  Dependable, fast, and never complaining.

What the 2023 Macy’s Parade Tells us About the Economy: It’s Back to the 80s

I watch the Macy’s Parade from New York on Thanksgiving Day as a measuring device for our public health every year.  I usually comment on the kind of balloons they have on the parade route and what type of music they feature creatively.  And also, what is the tone of the broadcasts, and the commercials?  There is usually a lot going on to report that provides a good indicator of other economic factors that say a lot about us as a culture.  And sure enough, the 2023 Macy’s Day Parade had a lot to say.  If I had to pick a theme that was decidedly a major part of the decision-making process in putting the parade on this year, it was “Remember the 80s.”  Because most of the musical acts and creative selections were attempting to rub off the magic and music of the 80s to bring happiness back to the consumer culture, in the past, it was always common to exhibit very progressive themes, like “gays teaching class,” “drag queens make a cake,” or some similar social intrusion.  But I’m telling you, and Disney is a great example of this; going woke has made a lot of corporations go broke.  And that’s more than a catchy tagline.  You can see in the behavior of most corporations that they are reeling from terrible advice from Larry Fink and the gang at BlackRock and, ultimately, the intruders at the World Economic Forum.  By this point in the global insurrection process, we were supposed to be on another currency controlled by the centralized banks, digitally, China was to have surpassed America as the dominant economy, and President Trump was supposed to be in jail, and have all his political capital removed.  So there is a lot of soul-searching going on that many people who thought they controlled the world are embarking on, and it’s not a pleasant experience for them.  And all that shows in the creative decisions at this year’s Macy’s Day Parade. 

I’ll go even further than that, this Taylor Swift lunacy with the NFL and the Kansas City Chiefs is part of the story.  It’s a constructed monstrosity from a corporate brand that needs something to spark interest in the product, and predictably, because Taylor Swift is suddenly at NFL games dating a famous player, women are watching football.  European soccer has been appealing to this younger generation, and the NFL had to do something, so there is nothing better than a romance between the most popular “anti-Trump” pop star on the planet now, where they play her music during NFL games abundantly, and one of the premier players in Travis Kelce.  I noticed that this romance didn’t start until shortly after Taylor Swift played her concert series in Cincinnati, which is a kind of melting pot of heartland sentiment.  It just so happens that Travis used to be a Cincinnati Bearcat football player, so there is something of a connection with Cincinnati that they both have, in some ways, they are wholesome products of one of America’s most wholesome cities.  Some people measure such things as obsessions.  I believe the matchmakers who put these two together, such as Erin Andrews, played a role in understanding corporate politics through such imaging.  “Hey, you guys should date, it would be great for the game and for your careers.”  Taylor Swift and Kelce go on a few dates, talk about how great Cincinnati is, and pretty soon, they are swapping spit in the shower and sharing a towel.  A new corporate romance is born, meant to carry public sentiment positively.

The musical selections at the Macy’s Parade were along the same lines.  They had Cher, references to Back to the Future, and many Broadway plays with people in cowboy hats, as if they were trying to appeal hard to mainstream America but weren’t sure they knew what it was.  What they didn’t talk a lot about was progressive politics, to the point where it was avoided by everyone involved in the presentation.  At the beginning of the parade, a bunch of Palestinian protestors were blocking the route, and they were disposed of quickly so as not to impact the show, which I thought was great.  The show must always go on.  And if you were watching it on television, you never would have known.  It was interesting to watch Cher perform because she is one of the biggest Never Trumpers out there and would generally be one who would throw support to Palestinian supporters, but here was a 70-year-old all dressed up singing sexy songs from the 80s.  Later that day, I might add, Dolly Parton dressed up like a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader in her 70s, trying to show that age and sexiness were not lost during the Thanksgiving Day tradition of the Cowboys playing football during a halftime show.  The NFL could have picked thousands of other people.  Entertainment had millions of different options, but they decided on Cher, Dolly, and the safe music of Taylor Swift to sell their corporate image.  There were no Black Lives Matter references, no bending the knee at the National Anthem.  There was almost a desperate hope that these corporate images might politely be invited into the public trust again by giving audiences everything they sought and more. 

As I have been saying for a long time now, the BlackRock stakeholder capitalism idea was never going to work, all that goofy stuff they have been yacking about at Davos was never going to be accepted by the American public, and it is there that world cultures trend.  European rock bands and entertainment must export their art to America to make money.  Not China, as the entertainment industry used to think it was possible to sell to the public.  Not Africa, Russia, or Europe.  If you can’t tap into the greatest economy in the world, the one that every economist everywhere should be studying instead of trying to change into a socialist utopia, then there is no market.  And the ultimate feature of that art is the Mainstreet options seen in features like the Macy’s Day Parade.  This year, it was all about an olive branch to the MAGA voters.  Over the last three years of Biden, it’s evident that the public wasn’t seduced into the World Economic Forum monstrosities cooked up under their economic view.  And people wanted optimism in their art again, in their music, movies, and Broadway plays.  It wasn’t that long ago when Broadway was utterly shut down due to COVID-19.  Well, people moved on to other interests, and getting a ticket to a Broadway play isn’t so hard now, just like Disney Parks, where attendance is low.  People didn’t need the corporations.  They don’t need NFL football; all the progressive activism has hurt their brand.  They are turning to Taylor Swift to help them recapture the magic, but it looks like there is permanent damage to the NFL because of their anti-Trump activism that will never come back.  The Macy’s Parade of 2023 clearly states that significant changes were on the horizon, not the kind they politically support.  Yet that is the world of tomorrow, and they are trying to embrace it today.  Their actions are an admission of good things to come that they aren’t all that happy about, but if they want to be in business, they had better embrace it.

People Are Going to Cry For President Trump and Darbi Boddy When they are Gone: What will come after them will be much tougher

The world is changing whether they like it or not. They are not in charge

I don’t like the guys on the Showtime show The Circus. I have talked about enjoying that show in the past, but that was during Trump’s first run for president and the world was a much different place. These days, everyone knows what everyone thinks of each other, so some pretense of fairness is no longer needed, as it was back then. But I find that The Circus is a good political show, even if I don’t like the people who put it on. It accurately reflects the political tides of the moment, which was alarming to them when they interviewed Steve Bannon and tried to interview Kari Lake but couldn’t even get enough material to do a segment with her. Astonishingly, as knowledgeable as they are about politics, they are missing the signals going into the 2024 election. They do not understand the MAGA movement, as most people obviously don’t. And they were nothing short of stunned when they heard Steve Bannon from the Warroom podcast, who used to be a chief strategist for the Trump White House, so he’s no slack-jawed loser, tell them that Trump was a moderate in the MAGA movement and that one day in the near future, they were going to wish they had Trump back. There was a kind of stunned silence, even for them. There has been an acceptance that we live in a world where co-existence with evil was always going to be the case, and increasingly, there are people in the MAGA movement who are supporting Trump, hell or high water, for militant reasons that defy conventional politics, to put it nicely. I’ve said it since before 2015 when Trump came down the elevator of Trump Tower, and just about every day since, I want to run campaigns against Trump as a liberal because, to me, he will always be a New York Democrat. That’s the world I’m fighting for.

It didn’t have to be that way, which was my thoughts when essentially all the Butler County judges had to recuse themselves on the Darbi Boddy case, which is a screenshot of the future of politics.  There are thousands of Darbi Boddys out there, the school board member at Lakota that I have talked about so much.  The belief was that the established order would play games and prosecute her with some power over the law and order society and that everyone would bow down and kiss some ring of party politics.  That is exactly what is wrong with the Republican Party in the wake of Trump.  That the Koch Brothers and Fox News still think they have some power to steer people away from Trump, that people are so stupid that they’ll vote for Nikki Haley instead of Trump.  These are all people smoking crack and are way off the political trajectory of modern sentiment.  They aren’t even in the room of consideration regarding reality.  I tried to warn everyone about the Darbi Boddy case.  These days, some lazy attorneys hiding in the background who are looking for an easy negotiation with the next unionized labor contract by getting rid of politicians who might stand in the way of that task with threats of jail, or even worse, are over.  That kind of local political abuse of power is what gave rise to Trump and the MAGA movement.  There is no control that the system of before has over people.  They have lost it, by their own incompetence.  That is what Steve Bannon meant when he said about Trump to the interviewers of The Circus that not far in the future, they will wish they had Trump back.

Darbi’s case in Butler County should have never even seen a courtroom, and now it’s going to go to the Supreme Court, and an impartial judge will have to be selected, and the party politics that has stuck its nose in all this business has screwed things up.  Darbi Boddy certainly didn’t do anything wrong.  And the judges involved in this case knew that from the outset. Instead, they played along with some assumption that they were in control and had a right to abuse their authority for some view of the world that has long been outdated.  And that is among people I know, that they have an entrenched view of the world that is not represented by reality that they refuse to see beyond.  I could have told them if only they had listened.  But the same could be said nationally and internationally.  Most people who work in politics don’t understand.  There will be a day when Trump is no longer in politics.  Right now, Trump has broad celebrity appeal, and he has a lot of Democrats voting for him.  He has broken down the blue firewall by changing how people can support political candidates.  I like that Trump ran his White House as a strong conservative, but he is way too liberal for my taste, and I am sure there will be a future with people much further to the right than he is, that I will happily support.  Yet people who hate Trump, Darbi Boddy, and thousands of politicians who are rising in the wake of all this, who will run and win future political offices, are mystified by this process and are refusing to deal with reality, as they did in Butler County, Ohio until it was too late.  The world will move on without them because they were never in charge. 

And it’s true, in just a few years, most of the people who have declared their hatred of Trump and fought so hard to keep him out of the White House with every legal maneuver available to them, and then some, are going to wish they had Trump back.  They will not like a world run by the Darbi Boddy’s of politics.  The Lakota school district will wish they had her back, too, when she’s not there anymore.  Essentially, what we have in government are radical labor union types deeply committed to Marxism who are using old tactics of resistance to stop needed changes.  And our political system has kicked the can down the road all this time to reach this point where there is no more road.  The belief that elections could be controlled to protect the thieves looting off it is over.  And Trump is viewed among MAGA Republicans, like me, as being entirely too nice.  I think of Trump as a liberal moderate.  I see him as a Democrat.  He is far better than the other alternatives and committed to stopping kicking the can down the road. And I am very supportive of that kind of talk.  But for me, he’s not even on the conservative radar.  Once he is done with politics, I will expect people far to the right of Trump to occupy positions in the Senate and the House and at state and federal levels; I plan to see the destruction of the Department of Education and many other assumptions of labor-controlled government that have ruined our country.  Trump is just the beginning.  Over the next ten years, I expect drastic changes.  Like Darbi Boddy in Butler County, Ohio, everyone has choked on the chicken over just one person.  The political world hasn’t seen anything yet, as the recent Argentina election indicates.  This isn’t just an American thing.  But it’s a sentiment worldwide, and it’s not going back to how it was…..ever.  History will never let people forget.

The Blood Cult of Baal: Destroying the Deep State demand for sacrifice

Since it is the most obvious topic in the world, and I have had to talk about it related to several local cases, many people have approached me wanting some kind of class on the conspiracies that most affect us, and why they are important. And unfortunately, either consciously or unconsciously, most people participate because of their need for group behavior. It’s a problem that has been with us since the beginning of time. The keys to this problem are outlined especially in the Bible, which I’ve had a relationship with for over 50 years. And I’ve read it many, many times. Then, as our times demand, because it’s the main topic of our everyday news, I constantly refer to one key aspect that reminds me of the supporting text of one of my favorite passages, Psalms 82. Now, I have known people who would consider themselves biblical scholars and make their livings interpreting the Bible, and my take on the purpose of the Bible is entirely different. I think all the churches and almost every person get the interpretations of the Bible wrong, the point of the plot. All the Abrahamic religions, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, have, to my mind, interpreted everything incorrectly, which makes up most of the religions of the entire world. The rest believe that UFOs came to the world and had a massive battle, and we are the result, which is clearly the case in the Mahabharata, which I’ve read too and is a thing all its own. For the Bible, I think the Greeks and Romans saw what they wanted to see when they gave their interpretation of the Bible, and people who wanted to control all humanity carefully edited the text for a very malicious purpose, and that was to preserve the Cult of Baal that has been with us since the beginning of recorded time, predating the Bible by many thousands of years, likely tens of thousands of years.

The Cult of Baal it’s very much alive today, maybe more than ever.

As I said in the video, which covers a lot of needed ground, I see myself as politically right of God, Yahweh. I am far more conservative. But out of all my religious study over the years, I really like Yahweh and I feel his pain, and want to help him. When I read the Bible, I don’t read about an all-powerful god who created the universe. That might be the case from various points of view. What I see is a character trying desperately to destroy the Blood Cult of Baal so that humanity can perpetuate productively into a much more prosperous future. It is Baal who is the Darth Vader of the Bible, not Satan, Lucifer, or the Devil, which are mentioned in the Bible but are not discussed nearly to the level that Baal is. The fight between Baal and Yahweh is the entire point of the Bible, it’s the plot that should be the center of all discussion. Yet the presentation of the material is given to us to serve deities, as humans always did. People either pick Baal, which is always tempting humanity away from God, Yahweh, or they like Yahweh so long as he performs some magic and heals some people from illnesses, almost like they must be bribed into doing the right thing in life; otherwise, they always slip into the temptation to worship Baal. And this is how we get our modern political foundations where “sacrifice” is the core tenant of religion and life as we know it. But what I hear coming from Yahweh is “productivity.” Yahweh, in many ways, wanted people to become capitalists, and he rewarded those who fought to free people of bondage to the Cult of Baal. Think of Elijah at Mt. Carmal, the famous dual between the priests of Baal and Yahweh, 1 Kings 18. Why is it do you think that the “Free Palestine” movement is also capitalist-hating Marxists? The answer is obvious if you look with the right eyes and correct definitions of reality.

Abortion is just one form of the modern sacrifice culture to ancient deities.

The great deception is constructing a society that still serves Baal while the global masses perform the deeds unaware.  This was done by essentially changing the names and focus of our religious figures to lure everyone into continuing to serve Baal in his insatiable appetite for sacrifice.  As people asked me for more information, I thought of these guys at the Deep State Mapping Project, a very new phenomenon.  I don’t think these guys would even exist if not for Trump’s first term in office.  But the crack in the façade occurred, and now there is water squirting out everywhere, and these Deep State Mapping guys are part of that positive erosion of the Deep State control over the world.  When we talk about the Deep State, we are talking about a complicated history that essentially is committed to keeping the world in the mode of sacrificial beings appeasing Baal and his pantheon of losers, cutthroats, and maniacal lunatics who are hundreds of thousands of years old and still linger in our interactions of quantum physics.  Yahweh was rebelling against this Cult of Baal as is captured in that Psalm 82 passage and other places, especially in the actual Jewish word for God, Elohim, which means plural god in many cases, or a reference to the Divine Council that rules everything from beyond our conscious tapestries.  I’ve known about all this for a long time, but the plot became most apparent when all these characters thought they could get away with the COVID killings, massive election fraud, and domination over the media in an attempt to get rid of Trump and the humanity that elected him.  It was the Deep State grasping for power as the old Cult of Baal was being threatened for the first time because of the decentralization of information in our current society. 

Baal has always been a problem

These Deep State Mapping guys have taken many of the studies I have personally conducted and made it very easy for people. It might seem like a crazy QAnon conspiracy theory at first, but I have independently validated most of the maps they offer, especially the Cult of Baal, and can provide testimony to their truth. Trying to shame people into compliance is the way the Cult of Baal has maintained itself for thousands of years, and it is a starving entity that demands humans sustain a cult of sacrifice, which we have. Sacrifice is the central premise behind most of the world’s religions on purpose. Yet, Ayn Rand, an atheist, could see this problem nicely by pointing out that human beings are meant to be productive. If you make things, why would there be a need to sacrifice anything to anyone, no matter how vital the god was? The conspiracy theories of the past, and I read all of Jim Marr’s books, and I miss that guy a lot, aren’t so conspiratorial now that the curtain has been pulled back, and we can see things better than we ever have. And to see this vast conspiracy in the best, most educational way possible, I would suggest the material provided by the Deep State Mapping Project. Things are going to get pretty wild over the next ten years. The Deep State has already lost control, so the water is flowing faster now. I spend a lot of my free time trying to prepare people for it by having them question the reality they have been taught. Yahweh understood, and I like him. I want to help him and spend a lot of my time doing that for purposes that the human race has a great need of. And these guys at deepstatemappingproject.com are doing a great job simplifying the process and vast amounts of information. It took me four or five decades to piece it all together myself. It’s all there for your convenience, and for those curious, I would suggest starting that needed education with their material. There is much to discuss, and an excellent map certainly helps.

Who would ever think to sacrifice their firstborn children to Baal? Apparently, a lot of people, as history has witnessed through oceans of blood and death.

King Solomon’s Great Mistake: The Keyhole tombs of Japan and lessons learned in fighting demons

Every time I go to Japan, it becomes more and more evident to me that the Kofan tombs, the many thousands of keyhole tombs in Japan, are the direct result of interactions with cultures of the Near East around 100 AD to 300 AD, which happened to be the time that the book The Testament of Solomon was written and was one of the books considered to be put into the Bible under the guidance of the Romans after the Greeks had preserved the stories over the previous 1000 years. Because Japan is an exciting culture that pays excellent reverence to its past, they have kept it better than in the West, so a window into periods of history becomes very obvious. Even though there is little to no archaeology occurring to explore the contents of these giant mounds built in the form of a keyhole, their dating points to a global culture that had a particular obsession with demons and how that spirit world rules over the minds of humanity, something that is just as concerning today as it would have been in times past. Talking to the modern Japanese, the considered wisdom from their culture points directly to their management of the spirit world through Shinto Buddhism, where they seek to utilize a relationship with the Kami, spirit creatures who roam about and work permanently in the background. In the Near East, in the times of the Bible or the Quran, we would call them Jinn, or “Genies.” In the West, we’d call them demons. And if you avoid assuming that everything over time was regional, the best window into that particular period and why they believe what they do can be reported from King Solomon himself in his book that never entirely made it into the official Bible, The Testament of Solomon.

In that book, Solomon, the great king of Yahweh, forms a relationship with a unique ring that God gave him to manage a pantheon of demons, and part of the signet was a keyhole symbol, according to legend. Solomon could use the ring to lock up the spirits and put them to work in building the great temple. However, by the end of the book, Solomon, in his never-ending quest to indulge in his sexual conquest of many thousands of women, finds one that refuses to sleep with him unless he grinds together five grasshoppers and dedicates their destruction to her god Moloch. So, Solomon does this, which makes God very angry, and essentially ends the line of kings created by the line of Abraham as the experiment to find a righteous people blew up in Yahweh’s face. At that point, the Hebrew people are doomed, the sons of Solomon are punished for their father’s transgressions, and Nebuchadnezzar soon follows to destroy the people of Israel and cast them into captivity once again. The mistake most commonly made by everyone is assuming that this Testament of Solomon is a regional story, not a global one. But I have a few maps that show the reach of King Solomon’s empire at the height of it, and it doesn’t take much creative thought to see that trade to make that empire so vast was extending into the New World, specifically the Amazon River Valley, and it spread to the East as far as it could go, Japan.

When you travel around modern-day Osaka, these keyhole tombs don’t look like much but a clump of trees in very packed urban settings. They are everywhere; some are much larger than others. But they remind me a lot of the various Indian mounds from North America, the same ones I have been saying contain the bones of a giant species of people, which is also not seeing much archaeology being done to investigate appropriately. Such a reach for the empire of Solomon is not unrealistic, traveling thousands of miles from Japan to the Middle East over a thousand years. Ironically, modern Japan’s relationship with demons of the spirit world is best captured by the work of the Near East writers, whether Arab, Greek, or Roman, or caretakers of the Indus Valley. The point is that people talk, and over the years, these stories took on a life of their own, but their point of origin was the empire of Solomon before being wiped away by a rival faction in Babylon. Solomon couldn’t have hoped to obtain such wealth without creating many enemies, and he had God’s protection with that ring as long as he was loyal to God, which allowed him to defeat his enemies and conquer many global territories. That is until he went too far by sleeping with women who worshipped all those previous gods, like Moloch and Baal, which still work in the background to this very day around the efforts of globalism. These interesting problems are best studied in cultures like Japan but still show signs of their practice. Because Japan has been protecting itself culturally from the effects of globalism, by fully embracing tradition the way they do, we can get a view into our past in ways that wouldn’t otherwise be possible. If the mistake of assuming that Japan was always a regional culture can be avoided, more evidence of the truth can be utilized.

The giveaway to this global culture is in the site down the road from Osaka at Ishi-no-Hoden, one of the great megalithic sites in Japan and one of their current top three mystery sites. The dating for this gigantic rock that was in the process of being cut from the mountain is all over the place, with some of them dating back to 14,000 years, which would have put it in the Ice Age. During the Ice Age, these archaeological sites around Japan would have been the high ground as the entire Osaka Bay would have been drained of water, and a new oceanfront would have extended to the east, where many ancient temples are beginning to be discovered, now submerged. This is the same global culture working the stone at Easter Island, all over the Americas, and, of course, in the British Isles. Why an ancient people would go to such trouble isn’t the point, but what was is that there was a desire to work with such significant stone monuments, the same as was seen in the Near East at times before and after King Solomon for similar motivations. So, to assume that these are cultures in isolation is to do them a disservice. Therefore, to learn from history, we can look to the windows we do have, such as in the Testament of Solomon and the Kofan tombs all over Japan, and arrive at some very accurate understandings of how the people of the past dealt with malicious spirits in the politics of quantum physics. Whether we call them demons, jinn, or Kami, the modern Japanese people have been successful in managing those relationships, whereas people in the West have been seduced much as Solomon was, with the grasshoppers into throwing away everything, to sleep with another woman, especially when he had thousands of others he could have picked from. The lessons transcend time and are most apparent when visiting modern Japan, which has not used contemporary politics as a great eraser. We can still see some of the evidence left behind.

I think this map is much bigger

I Had A Vision of the Destruction of the World Economic Forum: The collision of reality and American property ownership

Prizer Point is a great place to see things clearly

It has been one of those unique times where I have been away from home more than I have been home. My wife and I have been traveling extensively throughout the United States, living out of our RV. Some trips have been just she and I, some with immediate family members, and some with extended family. We have been seeing much of the country and interacting with many people. We have not lived in a bubble, and I have not seen any Joe Biden signs. But we have seen a lot of Trump support, even in areas considered otherwise liberal. And it was during one of these trips, I found myself reading Glenn Beck’s new book ‘Dark Future’ for the third time in over two weeks, and it was in the chapter “In the Future, You Will Own Nothing” that I made some important observations about the state of the world. This was ironic because we were at Prizer Point at Land Between the Lakes way down by Paducah, Kentucky, and I was surrounded at our luxury campsite with lots of property ownership. Prizer Point is one of the better marinas I’ve ever seen, and it had some luxurious houseboats docked there within view of our camp. I, of course, was reading my book next to my RV with our outside kitchen next to my mobile reading chair. Next to our site, mostly surrounded by water on a narrow peninsula, was several million dollars in various rig outfits by very committed RVers who had their own golf cars, jet skis, and boats of all kinds. Our kayak was parked next to our car, so I took a picture of where I was for emphasis. Everything about camping in America is about celebrating property ownership, even to the extent that people never really wanted to leave their homes where properties were secure. So, I tried to capture the irony with a photo.

Being off the grid for this type of camping, which is very popular in America, is about something other than roughing it. It’s not about denying yourself of the luxuries of the modern world; it’s about taking those luxuries into nature and enjoying it with all the comforts of home. When you want a shower, you get all cleaned up in your own space. You don’t have to share it with other people. You bring your food. You sleep in your bed. You watch TV when you aren’t listening to all the woodpeckers working on trees in the canopy overhead. You live well, exceptionally well. And it is pretty nice to travel with all your stuff to many different places and still have the same bed, refrigerator, stove, and bathroom. My wife and I have become so in love with this life that we dislike using public restrooms at gas stops. We like to go in our RV and have everything nice and clean. It is the American way of enjoying nature. But when you go to these campsites, one thing is prominent; nature is not in charge; the people are. RV campers love nature, but nature is not in control. Property ownership is, and I found it particularly interesting to be reading the material I was in such an area where property ownership was on full display to such a large extent. Behind my campsite was the boat ramp where people were putting their boats in and out of the lake all day, and it was enjoyable to see all the different kinds of crafts that people had.

Of course, I have been talking about Glenn Beck’s new book a lot. He did a great job with it; it is full of excellent information, which is undoubtedly what most news media needs to cover. ‘Dark Future’ is essentially pulling back the veil of the Klaus Schwab Great Narrative that the World Economic Forum has been planning behind the scenes of the United Nations and the European Union to incorporate the United States into their schemes of full Marxism and China-style communism through a nefarious attack of the global financial institutions. These people have lost touch with reality, but they have convinced enough people who have also lost touch with reality that they are predicting the future and forming the end reality. And that the end was inevitable. Well, I professionally talk to people who think like these World Economic Forum people a lot. There is a reason my wife and I have traveled so much. It’s our way of keeping it real, of not losing touch with reality, by interacting with reality abundantly. Immediately after we spent a week at Prizer’s Point, we traveled over 300 miles up to Darke County, Ohio, for the Annie Oakley competitions. So it was one thing after another for us, never stopping for air but always having the consistency of our mobile life living out of our RV. That kind of life would have helped the World Economic Forum types not lose touch with their liberal reality, which they have done. And most Americans blow them off as irrelevant. But as Beck’s book explains, they are under the assumption that they will rule the world; they will take all our property and force us to rent from them. And they believe that they already possess the power. But they believe it because they don’t know Americans like I do.

Our camp is in the foreground, some of my kids are in the background along the lake.

Prizer Point has a nice floating restaurant and general store on the lake connected to our campsite by only a thin little bridge. The staff at the camp was all very nice; it was a very well-managed place. But it felt like being off the grid, away from the world just enough to see everything very clearly. We had been to other nice campsites this year, and the general theme was evident, and I found it very reassuring. People were willing to live and let live so long as nobody messed with them. People were not taking Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates very seriously because they had lots of private property that allowed them to get away from their vile little clutches. But the minute they felt threatened by those kinds of people, that was another story. My wife and I went to the store several times to get ice cream and enjoyed eating it while watching all the boats come and go. And I could see that Klaus and the gang were facing some outraged Americans shortly, far more angry and hostile than they were prepared to deal with. And that was what I was looking for while spending most of the summer of 2023 on vacation. We’re not done with traveling for the year, not by a long shot. We have some vast trips coming up on the horizon with our various RV rigs. But everything became very clear somewhere between Prizer Point, the Darke County fairgrounds, and some wonderful books, especially that Glenn Beck book. I saw in a vision the end of the World Economic Forum crashing and burning under their misguided assumptions. And that made it a wonderful vacation season. Private property in America would be the straw that breaks the back of the World Economic Forum. And it would be a pleasure to watch.

Alex Soros is Taking Over the 25 Billion Domestic Terrorism Business: But it won’t be as easy for him as it was with George

It looks ol’ George Soros, in his 90s, is finally hanging up his financial holsters in the economic terrorism business and is passing it to his young son Alex.  And the concern is that Alex is more politically active and political than his dad, who is known worldwide as one of the most dangerous people in existence.  George Soros has been working to collapse the United States with economic depravity and has personally funded many acts of terror for most of his adult life.  But in his old age, he has become something of a shell of his former self, and his obvious hope is that his 30-something son will do much more damage now that he’s inherited the multibillion-dollar fortune of his father to fund the globalist intentions of the family business.  The Soros brand has been aggressive in buying up whoring politicians around the world and pushing them into far-left causes.  And “whore” is a fair word.  It’s the word I apply to those who will do anything for money.

Everyone knows that God has blessed me with many ripe talents; if I wanted to, I could likely be one of the wealthiest people on the planet.  As I say all the time, getting rich is easy.  Being a good person is not, so becoming a whore, someone who sells themselves for money, isn’t hard.  In many ways, I view Elon Musk as a whore, because he made much of his money off government subsidies.  He did good things with the money, but he had to play the game to get there, and in a lot of ways, he was not free to express himself publicly because of his relationship with China.  You might meet whores who are nice people, perhaps even intelligent.  But if they are whores and someone is buying them, they switch into boot-licking mode and are no longer themselves because there is money to be made.  And that’s the difference.  I have purposely said no to that kind of thing all my life, and I won’t start now.  And what I have in return for all that restriction is “objectivity” and “freedom of thought,” things I consider much more valuable than money.  And that’s what’s required to call the Soros operation what it is, terrorism.  Because over the years, Daddy George has worked with plenty of whores to help them commit domestic terrorism without being prosecuted because there are plenty of whores out there who love the easy money.

George is proud of Alex.  The old man has other sons, but this one has shown his father that he’s the one most interested in open borders and other radical leftist causes.  So it was Alex who inherited his father’s 25 billion dollar business for conquering national sovereignty, and there are plenty of whores like the Biden crime family, Chuck Schumer, and Kamala Harris who are all too eager to sell away anything to get their hands on some of the Soros money.  By themselves, the Soros family has been very dangerous, and obviously, they have gotten away with it because they sprinkle so much money around that they are very popular.  If you’ve ever been to a strip joint with lots of people we feel more comfortable calling whores, women who sell their bodies for sexual gratification, you can see this behavior in its raw form.  The pretty girls who make themselves available to anybody with money under any condition are considered cheap, unethical, and dangerous to the creation and maintenance of a family.  A married woman attached to a husband who would go to one of these places and give such a girl hard-earned family money for some sexual fulfillment outside of the marriage would have every right to be upset because the act is an attack on everything that motivates the couple to stay married and build a family.  Once sex becomes cheapened, then the essential value of a husband and wife relationship is destroyed. 

That is essentially what George Soros has done in the world politically.  Except it hasn’t been over the topic of sex directly.  It’s been on topics like financial stability through currency manipulation, open borders, and manipulating law and order by funding the campaigns of excessively liberal district attorneys.  George has been that guy in the whore house who tips all the girls and pays for a lap dance from each one and even pays for lap dances for other people because his goal has been to use his money to shape policy, to be the cool guy who spreads his wealth to the lazy and unrighteous.  In many ways, what George Soros has done to American politicians and policymakers has been worse than what goes on in a whorehouse or a strip club.  Sex is just one product of misconduct.  But in such actions, the attack of a family is the destructive mechanism inspired by evil deeds.  In politics, the attack is on our nation, so it impacts every person living in that nation.  We are all disgraced wives to some degree or another, being cheated on by our political class who finds the temptation of Soros money too alluring to say no, or to behave in some whoring fashion because it’s easy to get.  Then once they take it, they are scared for life, so they make no future attempt at ethical behavior, and our society declines in value, just like the family struggling with the tendencies of a cheating husband leaving his wife alone at home while he sluts himself to strange women for the silly benefit of personal pleasure.  But the Soros family isn’t alone in this enterprise.  Many of these billionaires use their money for radical leftist causes in similar ways, and they have been the greatest threat to us all.  China and Ukraine are just distractions.  The real danger has come from these people.

But I don’t think it will be as easy for Alex as it was for his dad.  George was able to hide in the background more than his son will be.  More people are onto this whoring game than they used to be, and I think Alex Soros is going to get criticism where his father got awards.  People don’t like a society of cheats and scandals, and now that it’s been quite visible who in our society goes to the whorehouses and cheats on their constituents for easy pleasure, voters have more value in their say than they used to.  These are not the times of tradition that brought us to this precipice of doom.  As I heard this news, my first thought was that I felt a bit sorry for Alex, the kid.  I don’t think 25 billion dollars is much, and it could be turned around and used against the kid easily If people understand how the game works.  People are tired of whoring politicians and business leaders who are unethical and lazy.  And they are ready to take power back and give it to those who aren’t tempted by the whorehouses of life.  As we now know that there are lots of whores in the world, not just 22-year-old girls who are too lazy to do anything productive in their life but use their looks for some easy money while they can still get it.  Plenty of middle-aged men laugh at all the jokes from someone they consider richer than they are, hoping that some benefit might come their way from the relationship, which is cheap in its own way.  Not much different than the whore selling sex.  And in a world where people pass judgment correctly on such people, it will be much harder for Alex Soros to operate than it was for his father, which will be fun to watch.

A Guide Across the Change State Economy: Through the traditions of the gunfighter, America can be saved from global communism

It’s not that I’m trying to sell you another book. But I didn’t write The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business to sell the book as an author. I saw what was happening in the world ahead of some of the terrifying stuff we are seeing now while Trump was still in office. We were seeing market trends that would reflect the world as a whole, and I wanted to provide people with a book on strategy that would help people deal with those changing circumstances. And now, a few years into it, I’m getting a lot of positive feedback on it, and I’m reminding people of it because there are many scared people out there. I’m not afraid, not at all. I worked out a lot of the strategies outlined in the book while competing in Cowboy Fast Draw competitions, and I was just at one in what they call the Shootout in the Black Swamp. It features a lot of chiseled veterans from the fast draw world who have been around the block a time or two, and there were some conversations they had with me that were different this year as opposed to years past, in what they see happening with the Biden administration, global politics in general, and the presence of an absolute evil in the world that has shown an unholy alliance between the world of finance, corporations, and the kind of evil worship that destroyed the civilizations of ancient Egypt, Sumer, and the entire Middle East. It’s with us now; people are scared and want to know what to do. And it is for them that I wrote The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business, which offers a way to live a healthy and productive life in the face of grave danger presented by the essential failures of the Administrative State driven by the needs of the liberal world order under the maniacal direction of the Deep State which resides behind everything and has its roots into evil occults. 

Shootout in the Blackswamp June 2023

It’s not that going to college is a bad thing; most people I know and communicate with daily are people with at least one advanced degree, and in many cases, several. But it’s becoming increasingly evident, which I pointed out in The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business, that much of our education systems were built not to instruct people but to make them submissive to the ultimate goals of the Deep State. They were designed that way from the beginning, especially the notion that the college system of buying your way into various financial levels of society through the degree program would never be successful. People have been wondering about it for years, but now they are finally starting to admit to themselves what the college experience has really been about, and it hasn’t made our society a better one. As featured in Charlie Kirk’s book, The College Scam, which is fantastic and honest, it’s not just American society that is starting to view college as just an early attempt to subjugate all people to an aristocracy of thought that was a creation of the Liberal World Order. That kind of society was not a meritocracy driven by Adam Smith’s capitalism but a tyranny by a global crime syndicate residing behind the hidden menace of communism, as China had been built around. And the only way to face down that kind of evil was in the classic way of the gunfighter, out in the street against a black-hatted villain to bring justice to a town overrun by crime.

I’m not part of the professional network of LinkedIn. Before I wrote my book, I was, but as it was being released, I did an excellent interview with a guy influential in the media culture of Los Angeles who ran a PAC in Washington D.C. that was professing that America decouple from China. It was a very compelling interview, and the moment it went up, LinkedIn locked up my account and essentially sent me a note that I still have, which says I must submit to the LinkedIn China policies before I can have my account back. I don’t need their account or their network. As we are learning, as is the case with a lot of social media, LinkedIn is already a Chinese asset, which is the case with most of our media and political figures. China pours a lot of money into these various organizations. Many corrupt people are willing to build their entire lives around easy money, and you quickly end up with a very corrupt corporate structure. We are seeing that Chinese style of communism shows itself in corporate brands like Bud Light, Disney, and even Chick-fil-A. It started with the idea that you couldn’t have a good job without an advanced college degree from a liberal thought processing factory. If you don’t respect “trans” rights, you will be removed from all respectable society. But that only works if everyone submits to that communist authority, and many people don’t want to, which has led us to this current impasse. In that LinkedIn interview, I laid out the case that if business owners wanted to save themselves from this communist tyranny, if corporations  wanted to free themselves from the perils of globalism, then I had the strategy that could do it. My book worked on many levels for the personal benefit of the reader or the resurrection of entire nations. The concepts were the same no matter on what scale they were applied. And that if people followed them, China could easily be defeated. 

I advise a sizeable number of people directly on the methods discussed in The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business, which were formed under tremendous pressure. I provide the video here of a sample gunfight in the sport of Fast Draw from that Shootout in the Black Swamp: speed, efficiency, management under the pressure of danger, and duress. As I say to everyone, be the one in the room with the biggest metaphorical gun, and know how to use it. And most of the time, victory follows. Even when it comes to one nation against another, it’s always the same kind of thing in a competitive world that is best represented in the classic gunfights that resulted in American culture. The assumption by the Liberal World Order was that the world would follow them to the ends of the earth and eventually submit to communist rule controlled by global forces. And that if only that Liberal World Order and its minions in the Administrative State, who take their orders from the occults of the Deep State, could control all of global finance, all the world’s big corporations, and rule over people through an education system that dumbed people down instead of teaching them to think, that they’d get away with it. But people are waking up to it, and I’m happy to see it. I wrote The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business not just for the success of individual lives but for the eventual destruction of the Liberal World Order, to teach people how to beat it. And now that people see what’s been going on, they want answers, so I have put them in that book to make it easy for people. I’m very happy to see it is starting to do its work right on schedule.

Defeating Evil Governments: A society with lots of guns and Bibles keeps people free

It’s been a more common occurrence, of course, that I discuss religion. I mean, look at the times we are living in. There is an astonishing level of evil on display here, so it comes my way a lot; what should we do? So, it’s unsurprising that I talk about religion; it has always been a big part of my life. But I have a lot of other things going on in my life that I felt I could talk about everything else without imposing myself on the people around me. I deal with a lot of people with lots of different viewpoints. Everyone knows that I’m morally very rigid, but I am accommodating toward other people, perhaps extraordinarily. But religion isn’t a new thing for me. I never said a curse word in my life until after I was 18 years old. I never drank alcohol until my church pushed it on me to take communion. I despise belching and farting, especially when people can hear it. I’ve never smoked marijuana or done drugs of any kind. I went to church most Sundays of my life until I was about 22. And I stopped because the pastor of my church had his wife leave him, which I never forgave him for. As I said then and still say it today, how do you lead a church if you can’t lead a family? (she got bored with Church life and had a wild streak hit her in her middle years. But I still blame the husband when things like that happen)  Church wasn’t religious enough for me, so I stopped going. I never felt it did a good enough job of fighting evil. I could go on and on, but as a person, I’ve never been a very loosie goosy person to be around. So when all the avenues of evil show themselves for the slaughter, I feel that there is a license to express myself accordingly. 

So yes, it has always come up, I handle religion cordially, but I often don’t impose my views on people because, literally, nobody has the kind of views about a good and moral life that I do, so I’ve learned to keep a lot to myself, just to have speaking relationships with people. But my views are certainly not new. I’m talking about it more now because it literally comes up every day from someone looking for answers. And with all the talk about what’s going on in the world and the level of evil we are dealing with, I have a simple two-part answer strategically on how to defeat our foes that I’m happy to share. It’s why I don’t worry too much about the level of corruption we are dealing with because I have always seen the clear path out of it. Of course, I’m happy to share that self-assurance with anybody who wants to listen. However, for context, even the most devout Baptist minister would find it hard to live with my rigidity religiously. My comment to people who are curious is that evil is struggling to remain hidden, and now they are going all out toward apocalyptic activism. But the trajectory of history is against them, and they are behaving out of desperation because they know it. So, when people ask me about the solutions to our modern problems, I assure them that the bad guys will not win, especially in America, for two very specific reasons, the Bible and gun ownership. As long as those two things exist in America, the government might fall away, but the people will go on as usual. Because we are not ruled, we have representatives. If they go bad, that doesn’t mean all the people follow. Instead, far from it.

I was at one of my favorite bookstores recently in Dayton, Ohio. It has a tremendous second floor, large enough to comfortably throw footballs in, big high ceilings, and lots of open space, and I took a minute to marvel at the religious section. The number of Bibles on display for sale was bewildering, and they are there because Bibles make up a substantial percentage of all books sold. And when people buy Bibles, they read them, so a literate society makes for one that won’t fall for all the ridiculously stupid leftist ideology. The really religious people, the people who read the Bible, tend to make up most of the homeschool movement, which I’ve always been a part of in some way. My children are currently homeschooling my grandchildren, for instance, because the schools are such cesspools of evil, exposing them to it just isn’t in the cards of reality. But I get to speak with a lot of very smart people because they essentially read their Bibles. Reading as an action makes people more intelligent, so Bible reading gives people who do so advantage over those who don’t. And the Bible’s contents took many lives to reach our hands. Every time I see a bunch of bookshelves filled with Bibles knowing that people are buying them up often, I consider how many millions of people died just to get those lines printed on paper for people to read. It’s quite a journey filled with a lot of spilled blood. But printing presses, mass publishing, and a stable economy have made Bibles so common that there is no way to go back in time to where totalitarian governments ruled by ignorance. That is clearly the modern strategy to rule over the world, to keep people ignorant and groundless on morality. But as long as there are Bibles in the world, tyranny will not be able to take over where people read them. That’s why communist countries are so hostile toward the Holy Bible because it’s nearly impossible for them to rule over literate people with beliefs in good and evil. 

But reading the Bible isn’t enough. Throughout most of our history, just reading and sharing certain Bibles, such as the Wyclif Bible in 1384, could put you to death. A lot of people have been burnt at the stake or killed in multiple ways just for reading the Bible or seeking independent spiritual belief, a belief away from the governments trying to impose on people a belief system they otherwise wouldn’t accommodate. That’s why our gun culture is so influential and why they want to get rid of guns so aggressively. Guns keep the government from coming door to door and burning people at the stake because they want to read from the Bible or express their values which go against the lunacy of a tyrannical government. So long as those two things are in a society, the intentions of evil upon a mass culture will fail. In America, currently, the government is failing, but the people are not. This government tries to rule through fear, mechanisms they learned in academia. But the assumption all along was that they could turn America into an atheist nation and a gunless nation. And they haven’t been able to come close on either point. And so long as guns and Bibles are part of American culture, the intentions of the communists, the Democrat losers, the globalists, the gangsters who are now in our government to hide from the prosecutors who used to haunt them, now they are them—all of them will fall short on their objectives because, for the first time in history, people have access to massive self-defense, and the intelligence of the written word, the ability to think for themselves. They don’t need government. But the government needs them. And in times such as these, a way of life that I have been more than prepared for every year that I’ve lived it, the things I have said over all that time are only becoming more obviously true. Keep your guns close and use them to keep reading from the Bible. And if you do those two things and share your enthusiasm openly, the bad guys will lose in this apocalyptic war, which will be fun to watch.
