I Never “Hang Loose”: Always wear a suit and tie to show respect for work

It was St Patrick’s Day in West Chester, and I had people from the other side of the world with me at a table for eight on the busiest night of the year for a very popular Irish Pub. March Madness was on TV, the music was loud, and there was green beer, as much as anybody could ever want of it. The people I was with had come from a long way to see me, so I wanted to show them the festivities of how Americans celebrate such a unique day, and they were having a lot of fun witnessing the cultural phenomena. But we were all dressed in expensive suits and still had on our ties, which for me is usual. We felt lucky to have a table with such a large crowd when the rest of the place was standing-room only. There were a lot of people singing and dancing everywhere, so having a nice seat in the back of the room to see it all was quite a nice experience for my guests. It was a great evening, but our table attracted a lot of attention because, as I’ve explained before, I don’t dance, and I certainly don’t loosen up, and I was still dressed and would continue to be dressed as if I were going to a formal occasion. That prompted a really large lady in her middle years dressed all in green with Irish-inspired pom poms to slide her chair over and lobby us to take off some of our clothes and loosen our ties. Obligingly, some of the members of our table did so immediately, and the gazes all turned toward me. That’s when I explained to the lady that this was as loose as I would ever get. I put my fingers between the collar of my shirt, fully buttoned, and my neck and explained that if I could do that, that was loose enough.

Well, this lady had invested her entire reputation in this action, and all the people at her table, who looked like another train derailment in Ohio by the way they were dressed and behaved, chided her quickly that her magical womanly charms didn’t seem to be working. My action was not anywhere in the script of social behavior for pub behavior, so there was an awkward moment. So she rewarded the people at my table who had taken off their ties and loosened their shirts with ostentatious flirtation as if sexual opportunity might have been even a remote possibility. But I refused to budge and proceeded to make fun of her loose clothing and her entire table. I have a rule in life: I just don’t do the kinds of things she asked under any social pressure. I usually would never be in such a place where drinking was the key activity and singing to the music of classic rock songs played so loudly that it could burst your eardrums. But we were far enough away to at least have a conversation, even if we had to be so close to each other to speak that intimacy was the very next option. And my refusal was a grave disappointment to this woman who obviously thought she had the charms of a young woman that could easily get young men to do anything she asked for, promising further sexual contact. Once the others at our table realized I wasn’t going to budge, which was no surprise to them, they stopped feeding her encouragement and kept their dress respectful, and that’s how it remained for the rest of the night. The woman went back to her own table, upset and pouting. After another twenty minutes of uncomfortable glances, they all got up and left, and that table was quickly replaced by people standing and waiting for a chance to sit down. 

That wasn’t the only time when people took notice of our table and tried to figure us out. Several of the people with me were taken aside by members of the room and asked what we were all about. People thought we were members of the mob sitting like we were without any dancing and wearing business suits past 8 PM at night. People were very suspicious of us the entire time we were there, and when we finally did get up to leave, there was an odd joy that the people in the room expressed. It was a fun evening and a chance for me to see how other people live in the world. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the basketball. I know my guests had a great time. So it was everything we wanted it to be, but I couldn’t help but notice the negatives, and that traces back to a real problem in our culture, this stupid notion that people can work from home and still be productive and that we can have “casual Fridays” as a rebellion against professional attire, and still maintain the greatest economy in the world. People who think such things are smoking crack. For me, wearing a tie and business attire is the same as wearing weapons of war on a battlefield. It’s a necessity for productive commerce. Nobody wants to deal with some slack-jawed loser with some loose Hawaiian shirt while exchanging business for millions of dollars. This whole notion that such a thing was possible was given to American culture by the lazy Europeans and insurgents of communism around the world looking for sameness among their individuals. Not individual expressions of professionalism, which has always been the standard in America. 

Being loose is not a value system I have any value for. I think Americans should never have accepted the dumb, liberal idea of “hanging loose,” as they say in Hawaii, and bring back from their vacations to Florida, Hawaii, and other places in Europe these dumb ideas about relaxing so much. It should be clear to people by now that all the propaganda we have received about working too hard, avoiding heart attacks and stress, and going to work more casually were all prequels to the kind of work-from-home policies that would come from the Great Reset, a communist takeover of all our industry and to weaken the workforce from warriors of capitalism to mask-wearing submissives who follow instructions from centralized authority and to then become the new standard bearers of a collectivist approach to a new partnership between business and government that provided much less to the consumer than the massive options we had under more freedom and capitalism in general. I dress well because I respect work and enjoy work and pressure. Meanwhile, the government takeover of all things productive was to speak against work, to expand government so that everyone would eventually be a government worker in some form or another. You could see in the court filing that the Biden administration just lost regarding the Covid vaccines the original strategy. The government showed its hand in that one trying to portray Biden as a CEO of the entire Federal workforce, including any contractors, and that a single-point policy infusion would be possible. Of course, the government lost that case because it was unconstitutional, just as all the Covid attempts at a Great Reset were. But these maniacal characters have gotten away with thinking such things because of the kind of barflies that were at that Irish Pub on St. Patrick’s Day.

Loose clothing types who think hanging loose is a value system and that all those uptight, suit-wearing people out there are just working themselves into an early grave with heart attacks and bad health. All of that is untrue. Those beliefs are just early versions of the Covid scare, where health officials could bring communism to our culture through fear of overwork and psychological safety. Drink more. Have more sex with strangers. And waste your time singing to depressing classic rock songs while your country burns to the ground. No, I’ll continue to wear my tie and business jacket even past midnight in such social conditions. And I am very proud to do so.

Do You Know Someone Possessed by a Demon: They are a lot more common than most might believe

With all the evil that is obvious in the world, the question has been brought up a lot about the nature of demons and whether or not they are taking over people’s bodies, and if they were, how would we know?  This has been most discussed when explaining the behavior of a recent school board member who has shown a noticeable behavior change from campaign mode to actual board service.  The personality shift has been stunning, leading people to conclude that some other life form has taken hold of his body and is driving the car.  Which is precisely how I think demons work.  Our bodies are like the cars we drive.  The drivers of the car can change, but the car is a car; it ages, gets old, and eventually breaks down and stops running.  But when it comes to paranormal activity, I think quantum mechanics can largely explain it.  Then knowing that there are lifeforms in several dimensional realities, our own 4-dimensional space being just one of them.  Yet in them all, there are lifeforms in various manifestations teaming with activity.  And if they can take root in our reality by grabbing hold of a car to drive, such as one of our bodies, then they will do it and do it often.  We can all tell stories of people we know who behave differently when they drink or use drugs.  I would say this is what it’s like when there are multiple passengers in a car but only one driver.  If the driver lets go of the wheel or maybe even gets out of the car for some reason and a new driver takes their place, then you could see how there might be a behavioral change from one driver to the next. 

Listening to women talk about people is often very entertaining; they associate a personality with the biological DNA of a person they know or have been raising.  When they say to someone else, “oh, look, he has your mouth,” or “he has your eyes,” they are saying something we all do to a point, we identify a lifeform with the vehicle it inhabits.  There is to a body the biological codes that put it together, and we associate those mechanisms with a personality.  And to a large degree, people are what their biological makeup determines them to be.  Whether they are short-tempered, whether they are tall, short, smart, dumb, happy, or sad are all attributes that are genetically inherited.  And when a person dies, those traits are no longer useful and peel away into memory.  But because that’s what we see about a person, we tend to associate those attributes with them, so we often get confused when we witness a behavioral change in their personality.  When we see the same physical features, only they suddenly behave differently, as if someone else is driving those bodies, it upsets us because we thought we knew them.  I tend to think of people in their eternal aspect, the parts of them that are not associated with the biological devices of a body but are the drivers which reside there during a lifetime.  When you really get to know someone, you could be said to get to know their “soul” rather than just getting to know the person that was raised by so and so at a such and such address that became friends because of a birthday party when you were both five years old.  Those aspects of life are conditional based on DNA and the combination of those elements in a four-dimensional reality.  That life might contribute to a soul’s development, but the car’s driver is not the car.

I tend to think the push for intoxication and the abuse of bodies comes from competing lifeforms trying to sneak their way into a body by either pushing out the driver or convincing the driver that someone else could drive their car better.  By whatever means, once a driver surrenders their body to another lifeform, we can see then a noticeable behavioral difference.  The owner of the body might even still be in the body, but something else is clearly driving, especially under intoxicating circumstances.  I think there are a lot of lifeforms out there, some of them very jealous of our four-dimensional existence, and they would love to take over a person’s body and experience life as we do.  Is it appropriate to call these lifeforms demons?  I think so, and I think they are ubiquitous.  Do they take up permanent residence in a body, or is it just temporary?  Well, I think that varies depending on the need to drive the car and why they are there in the first place.  Maybe they are just joyriding in our dimensional reality.  Or perhaps they want to go somewhere and need a body to get there.  Or perhaps there is a massive interdimensional strategy that makes sense to their reality where influence over our reality makes sense to them.  What we call evil may be perfectly justified to them in their quantum realm.  That doesn’t give them the right to do what they do to us, but it may explain the desire to occupy bodies massively to destroy life in the way we observe. 

Yet we are born into our bodies, which are ours to keep.  We do not have to share them with other life forms.  And throughout life, there are many times when others would clearly like to drive our car because they like it and want one for themselves.  It’s up to us if we allow ourselves to be tricked into surrendering ourselves to their manipulation, and I think many gullible people get suckered in this way.  Sometimes it’s by choice, such as by allowing intoxication to unlock the doors for others to get into our car.  Sometimes it’s by blood, where ancient lifeforms might have known the DNA code of a family lineage and find themselves attracted to the driver of that car and want to reside within that car with the driver for as long as they can because it’s familiar to them.  And sometimes it’s just malicious; it’s a Grand Theft Auto kind of thing where they abuse their ability to jump in and out of other people’s cars and shove them out of the driver’s seat for a criminal-inspired joy ride.  There are many ways that other lifeforms can jump into our cars and drive our bodies without us realizing it or knowing it as observers, especially if we assume that the person we know is the biological thing we can see.

People are far more than just the cars that they drive.  And when it comes to observing the vast amounts of evil that we see today, yes, I think many of them are driven by demons.  And there are lots of demons at work, armies of them.  More than we could possibly ever count.  And their motives are likely as endless as an imagination could conceive.  But do they have a right?  Of course not.  Our bodies are our own, and we should guard them aggressively.  We should not take for granted anything about our lives, and we should treat our bodies just as greedily as we lock our cars when we park them somewhere, with utmost security.  We should be careful what kind of music we listen to and what we eat and drink.  We should be cautious about what we learn and share intimate details and with whom.  Because there are lots of reasons for demons to inhabit bodies, and as we see in reality, they often do, and with terrifying results.

“Trump Won” and They Know It: The truth revealed in the little town of Carrizozo, New Mexico

Nobody else could produce a song that would release to iTunes and beat out the contemporary artists in popularity. And that’s what happened with Donald Trump’s “Justice for All,” which has been number one in the country on the Apple platform, which is the new ranking list for modern music. iTunes, being the liberals that they are, found a way to sabotage the song by not offering it for a short period of time during the week of its number one run, and guess what, another song about Trump from Natashia Owens took its place and then became the new number one, it’s called “Trump Won.” And just like that, we are seeing something that I confirmed right after the last election, a new campaign strategy that sort of manifested all by itself, out of necessity, and truly represents the people of America. It doesn’t surprise me at all that anything with Trump’s name in the title will be very popular. My wife and I saw this for ourselves right after the 2020 election when we spent much of 2021 on the road in our RV, checking out most of the states in America, especially out in the desert. I needed to get away for a while and cool off, and what I learned is what we are seeing with these new smash hits on iTunes. People love the idea of Trump. After several years of not having him, they are poised to send a message to the political establishment and the Desecrators of Davos who control the music industry and entertainment in general. Something that no other Republican challenger could hope to do, and that is connect with the voters in such an intimate way. It’s a way that only Trump could produce, and it’s why he’s the leader of the Republican Party and will remain so no matter what. 

Elon Musk understands what all these further attacks against Trump will mean; the actions of the DA in New York attempting to put the former president in chains for the cameras to capture will set off a wave of anger that this country has never seen before. And for every musical artist looking to make a splash, putting Trump in the content is their ticket to success, which “Justice for All” and “Trump Won” clearly show. Trump doesn’t need to go out and raise money; he doesn’t need the mainstream news, the Fox News people, or MSNBC. He has plenty of supporters who are angry at the direction of their country, and the Deep Staters have crossed the line and do not have a plan for what they are witnessing. I didn’t talk about it much then, but this all became very clear to me while visiting the little town of Carrizozo, New Mexico. It’s a terribly poor town in the middle of nowhere, right where I wanted to be at the time. It was far from politics, and the town had tumbleweeds blowing across the road during a gentle afternoon that felt like nothing in the universe cared if the town had ever existed. It was my wife’s birthday, and we were looking for a hamburger to eat. The town was shut down due to Covid and the out-of-control liberal governor they had there at the time. But we found a speakeasy kind of restaurant that looked closed from the outside. As I peeked through a crack in the door, a little girl let me in, and I found a whole restaurant hiding in there, defying the mandatory shutdown. And they let us in to have a nice dinner. Most of the occupants had on Trump hats, and none of them were American. They were all Mexican, including the owners, and they were very MAGA supporters, so we started a conversation quickly and found we liked each other quite a lot. At that moment, I understood how deep the Trump MAGA movement had seeped into American culture. Over ten thousand miles on that particular trip, I had seen the same thing repeatedly, from Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma, all over the south, up to Idaho, everywhere it was the same. Trump was their secret hope that the government could be brought under control and nobody else would do. 

This is why the January 6th prisoners are being so revered. It was after that January 6th event that I had made my decision to journey across the country in our RV. I felt like they did who raided the Capitol. I said at the time I didn’t see anything wrong with what had happened that day. It’s our government, not those of a bunch of loser globalists. People watched their government being stolen from them; their vote was ignored, the political process was rigged, and the judges didn’t have the guts to uphold the Constitution. People were mad. I was mad. I thought better of attacking anything and wanted to turn my attention to a real solution. I wanted to know if just a few radical Trump supporters saw what was happening as I did.  While on the road for that trip I wrote my latest book The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business as a kind of strategy guide to deal with politics and business in this particular time.

Regarding the abusive relationship the government has had with the January 6th prisoners, there are so many Constitutional violations to them, most notably the 6th Amendment. We don’t have a country that exists for government; we are supposed to have a government that serves the people, which was not what we saw after 2020. So people reacted in frustration to varying degrees, but I have always supported the protests at the Capitol. I think the FBI, the CIA, members of Congress, and the Senate are lucky people were so civil. Now years later, we have seen what a set-up job much of J6 was, and a lot of people are still in prison for no good reason other than to hopefully deter further protests. When government no longer listens to people, what are people supposed to do, just conform? I don’t think so. 

I saw the heart of America in that little speakeasy restaurant in Carrizozo, New Mexico. It’s the same kind of people who are happy to get Trump singles on iTunes and why this election season is going to be unlike anything we’ve ever seen before in the history of the world. In that little hamburger joint, I saw a resiliency that would not be put back in the bottle. They do not like what has been happening in the American government and are willing to give the election system another chance. But they are angry. Very angry. When the Sheriff walked in to get a pickup order that day, we made eye contact and talked about the nature of life in America without saying a word. It was an open rebellion, and even the law was in on it. The Sheriff had a MAGA hat attached to his belt next to his gun as if to reassure himself that everything would be OK. He wasn’t going to shut down that restaurant; he was trying to help keep it open out of defiance of a corrupt government. This is why I didn’t talk about it after because I didn’t want to draw attention to it. But I was happy to be there, and I met people on that trip who clearly indicated the future of politics. And it’s not Ron DeSantis, or Nikki Haley, or Mike Pompeo. They are creations of MAGA. But there is only one person that those people will support: President Trump because Trump Won and We Know It. And so do they, which is why they are panicking now. They know what they did, and it’s time for the payback.

The Real Isaac Adi: ‘Thriller’ is alive and well at Lakota schools

The first thing I thought of when I heard Isaac Adi and watched the video of him laughing at me when Darbi Boddy brought up my name during a Lakota school board meeting was that a demon of some kind had taken over his consciousness. And that conclusion would match his behavior since the campaign the year before, where a very different person spoke to me, a very sincere and godly person who I would never think would behave in such a way. Many people don’t have room to think about those things, so making such a statement is a bit wild for them. But Isaac’s behavior toward Darbi and others as a school board member has perplexed many people regarding the change. He has been making fun of the opposition, who supported him initially; he’s been caught on camera pushing people around and losing his cool in embarrassing ways, and when confronted with evil, he has a severe reluctance to look at the truth. He has been especially caught on the premise that there is no CRT in Lakota schools because the nice old teachers say there isn’t any CRT.   Surely he’s not naive enough to believe they have been telling him the truth and that they have been playing him for a sucker by hiding it in plain sight. That’s why Darbi went to look for it on her own; she didn’t trust what people were telling her. Both of these new school board members were people of God when they started, but only Darbi has been able to rely on that faith as a backstop for her convictions. Isaac, from the start, seemed too enchanted by the soothsaying of the opposition, which then became grotesquely obvious during that school board meeting when the person I saw on stage was nothing close to the person I had come to know during the campaign.

A lot of people had asked me since that school board meeting if my feelings were hurt by the way people laughed when my name was brought up. After all, I have been good friends with Lynda O’Conner, the school board president. Frequent phone buddies are more like it, and hugs when we see each other at political events, more than just casual acquaintances. To see her play along with the mob of laughter would be hurtful to many people, and that was the hope people had that I would be devastated at the social rejection on such a big stage. Then there was Isaac, a guy I have said so many good things about and had such high hopes for, leading the charge on stage. I remember taking a picture of him and Jim Jorden at a big event with the GOP, and he was such a happy and optimistic guy with such great faith in God and the good he could do with the community. Of course, my political enemies would assume that I’d be devastated, embarrassed, and hurt beyond repair to see a good person like Isaac joining the dark side and becoming like Michael Jackson in the famous video Thriller as one of them.

Just another member of the zombie apocalypse. The nice guy, the man of God being pulled into the woke mob of anti-Christ warriors, colored hair, upside down crucifixes and all, and abortion supporters who deep in their hearts want to have a mass social sacrifice to the biblical God Baal whose soul-eating hunger cannot be quelched with logic, or consensus building. It was almost as if they were saying to me, look what we have done to your good people. And when they laughed at Darbi and at me, it seemed most appropriate to look to the jealous malice of the spirit world for the true intentions and detect their plot to convert good people into agents of destruction intent to spread evil to every crevice of our lives for the ill scheme to make maniacal lunatics out of all the world. But rather than be angry about it, I found the information extremely valuable. I’d rather know the truth about people than not, and in such formats, there is a lot that can be learned, which nobody would know if Darbi hadn’t brought up my name. What you see might hurt because you desire good things for them. But when you are trying to figure out motives under pressure, then there was a lot valuable that was revealed during that meeting.

Yes, I believe very much in demons, devils, villains from the 8th dimension, and characters of malice that reside in the back of our minds who are at war for our souls. But you can’t discuss them in a modern context without the veil they use to hide behind, making you sound like an insane person for talking about them logically. Instead, we have invented the field of psychology to explain these things away in a way that the Liberal World Order has deemed appropriate, which is acceptable in a case like this and just as effective. But for those curious, yes, demons and malicious spirits are very real things that most people believe in once they quiet their minds. And some people are more prone to attacks by them based on bloodlines, from their ancestors who may have been host to demonic spirits hundreds or thousands of years in the past. Those same characters look for those blood types and seek them out as hosts, completely unsuspecting. The host may not know such characters are guiding them, but to the outside world, it’s as obvious as the sun at noon on a beach in Florida without a cloud in the sky. But for this case, the psychological explanation will suffice to explain what has happened to Isaac Adi. It’s the desire to be liked by your peers, which is the classic gateway that governs so much evil in the world, that we see at fault for the conditions we have witnessed at Lakota. 

It’s easy to fall in love with the people you are working with and managing, and good managers learn to think beyond such impulses. At the same time, inexperienced managers hope that they can control people through friendships and favors. And school board members are managers of their school districts. So it’s to be expected that when positions of power are acquired, every loser, sexually deviant, lazy, overpaid psychopath will seek the favor of the new power, which Isaac won during that election. But in that moment of insecurity during the initial day and year of such a service, it’s easy to fall in love with all these new friends who suddenly want to appease you. And to keep that feeling from going away, you stop looking at the truth that might bust that bubble of goodness at suddenly being such a popular character doing important work in the world. This is precisely how the OSBA teachers and school board members build consensus in community settings. They get so good at it that they don’t even realize that they do it to all the relationships in their lives, not just the professional ones. And when those relationships are standing in the way of good management of a taxpayer asset, then we should all be concerned. But to put it simply, to allow peer pressure to make rational decisions based on friendship and sentiment is the path of evil. People inexperienced in these kinds of things tend to fall for them. And I’m not inexperienced. So what Isaac did wasn’t a surprise. It is valuable to know what a person can take and how they function in a social setting. What their motivations are during a behavioral change? And what we saw at that meeting on March 6th, 2023, was necessary. Hurt has nothing to do with it. But the truth is all that is interesting, and we saw plenty of the truth, for which we can then make decisions based, which is very valuable to know.

Only strong and resolute people can withstand the evil of the “Thriller.”

Losing in Blackjack: What the Silicone Valley Bank failure means to our economy

The failure of the Silicon Valley Bank is just the start of something much worse that is about to happen in America, and nobody can say they weren’t warned. It’s much worse than just banking management that are entangled in risky practices, but these are the effects of a Cloward and Piven attack strategy that has been in play for some time and is at the heart of ESG measurements. When a bank like Silicone Valley Bank lends money to a lot of business startups based on sex, skin color, orientation, nationality, and minority status, then those businesses fail, then obviously, the money will have been wasted. Nobody pushing ESG, including in the stock market, ever figured out how monetary value would be replaced by social scores because there is no value in sentiment. Only in actionable behavior are the efforts of productivity measurable. In that regard, Silicone Valley Bank is not the first, nor will it be the last. But it will be one of a series of failures based on the toxic ESG values that have been pushed on the finance world for several years now, and the results are in these monstrosities of sentiment resulting in horrendous results. The scam was never going to work, and if this is the best that a college-educated society can produce, then nobody should have dared to crawl out of the stone age. Because what’s the point? It’s not a mystery as to the cause, as many are now considering runs on the banks to gather up their wealth before it all disappears. Just remember before you do that this is a similar situation as we saw with Covid, a purposeful attack on the American infrastructure to bring down the economy of America by hostile foreign characters, and this failure was a planned occurrence. Not an accident. 

The ultimate game was to collapse the stability of the dollar and then prop up that value with government bailouts, which is precisely what Janet Yellen of the Biden administration is proposing to do. Why do you think the former head of the Federal Reserve has been so active in World Economic Forum activities and even a figure involved in Ukraine? Why are these people making secret trips to Ukraine in their positions, Janet Yellen, Merrick Garland, and those with no jobs related to anything in Ukraine? Anybody with the haircut of Janet Yellen coming back from Ukraine and asking for more financial aid to that strange country and its politics is just as dumb as the person who wants a haircut as she has. Who could think that a haircut like she has is a good idea by choice? Yet such an assumption is just as foolish as trusting her with any financial advice. She did during her role as head of the Federal Reserve as they all do; they ran the Fed recklessly and as a big government stooge printing money with quantitative easing that effectively wrecked the economy. It started before the collapse of 2008 when bad loans to the housing market crushed the industry. At that point, a unique relationship with Larry Fink, who would go on to make BlackRock one of the most influential companies in the world, would buy up that bad debt, and the Fed would print fake money and flow it into Wall Street, with an arrangement to Fink, and they would buy up the assets and use all the funny money to take control of the boards of many corporations, to impose these ESG scores on them and change the value for which they operated. Gone were the profit and loss statements of tradition, but now it was all about how many gay activists were in management, how many minorities, and whether men could suddenly have babies and would have to go on maternity leave. With such values, what did anybody think would happen?

The way these banks have been lending has been like the gambling addict at a casino late into the morning from a crazy night of drinking and whoring around mindlessly, playing Blackjack. Who in their right mind would bet all their money through every round, thinking they would hit 21? Hitting 21 in Blackjack, of course, is the ultimate goal. For finance, it would be like loaning money to the next Google startup company and having them all become gloriously successful every time. But unfortunately, in reality, there are not many Googles out there, and in Blackjack, hitting 21 is an extreme anomaly. Usually, you can get close with a 17-20, but you rarely hit 21 without going over. An aggressive player trying to impress someone from the opposite sex will constantly hit over 21, and they will lose all their money rather quickly. This has essentially been the strategy of this new ESG market. But I would not say it has been stupid, just as the dealer in Blackjack always has the ability to play the game after all the other players have played their hands. The House statistically wins the most often, and in this banking game, the House is the Federal Reserve. And they are not loyal to the American economy.

In conjunction with the government, the Fed has allowed people to conduct their lives with risky behavior so that they will become trapped and need the government to bail them out. Then once that happens, people will give up their independence from the government to get out of the mess they put themselves in. Like the Blackjack player who spends their life savings betting on 21 at the table only to find out that they have lost all their money, but they still want to play, they borrow money from the House to continue playing. But the House can print their own money, so it’s no skin off their back. Meanwhile, the gambler just keeps getting deeper and deeper in the hole until they lose their personal independence for the rest of their lives because they are so far in debt. And that is the military strategy against the American market, which was purposeful. It was designed to destroy value and replace it with sentiment. The banks, hoping always to hit 21 just like any mindless gambler might, bet on all the wrong risks based on all the wrong values, and of course, they have lost far more than they’ve won, leading to these banks collapsing.

Meanwhile, for those who have lost their life savings, the Fed, with indirect means of supplying money, is just printing money and giving it out like candy. And people will take it because they don’t want to face the destructive facts. In such a desperate state, they will continue to support an all-powerful government because only such a government can back the money they have printed to stay in power. And in this way, Republicans and Democrats find themselves united at the Blackjack table, hoping to hit always 21 in desperation because it’s the only option they have as a result of ESG values that have changed finance into such a devastating industry run by thieves down on their luck and trying to hide it with quantitative easing. And after years of such behavior, we only see the beginning of such failure.   The government gains power, while the individuals lose their freedom and become slaves to those they are perpetually in debt.

What the 1.1 Million Award to Kimberly Edelstein Means: A first-of-its-kind case in Butler County that celebrates individual Constitutional protections

I think we’ll find, as our society matures and grows into an understanding of its place in the universe as an up-and-coming power that is recognized as such, that the American Constitution is one of the greatest works of philosophy ever produced on earth or any place else. That is why I tend to love judges and the idea of law enforcement. Not necessarily law enforcement itself, especially once human frailties are introduced that are tied to social predilections rooted in collectivist causes, but the essential beauty of the Bill of Rights and what the concept protects in the realm of human imagination and its potential as a fully developed individual. That’s why this case where the former Butler County magistrate Kimberly Edelstein is painful because everything is wrong with the struggles of life everywhere. Judges in our culture are the ultimate philosophers in that they adhere circumstances to the application of Constitutional principles, which isn’t easy when the demands of collectivism are applied, ancient beliefs in protection within the herd (civic memberships, fellowship on a bowling team, back-slapping at the company picnic) and the conflict with the development of individual integrity. And no matter how the judgment that a jury found against Judge Greg Stephens is viewed, the failure has not been captured by any post-court analysis, which is a shame. Representing herself, Kimberly Edelstein made a successful argument to a jury over a two-week trial starting in January of 2023 and ending early in February, where they awarded her 1.1 million dollars for religious discrimination where Stephens behaved in a retaliatory manner when Edelstein requested eight days off for Jewish holidays. And from there, their relationship deteriorated, the application of law and order in Butler County, Ohio, was compromised, and over what, religious differences? 

By the time the dust settles on this case, it will likely cost the taxpayers over 3 million dollars. And when you look at the law firms who have been involved, it’s clear that they are the only ones benefiting. The way the legal community operates in the background of all this money reminds me of a case I was involved in years ago with Todd Portune, who would eventually become one of the county commissioners of Hamilton County. But in a serious legal matter that I was involved in, he was an attorney who was also on the Cincinnati City Council, and he was representing both the aggressive party and the victim simultaneously. When I confronted him about this, he simply explained to me that was how it was. Those were the rules of the game. And that is the case in this Butler County legal case; when it wondered why the media puts a spin on the story that doesn’t capture the real essence of it, that’s because they all have the same legal firms working in the background. The interpretation of the law, as I stated, is so beautifully captured in our American Constitution, specifically in our Bill of Rights is not the same as the feeble interpretation that comes to the minds of the compromised people who have not evolved well as individuals and find corruption at the heart of their decision making. And that’s what’s unfortunate with this case between Judge Stephens and Kimberly Edelstein. Instead of them using their religious faiths as a background of individual development to uphold the excellent standards of Constitutional preservation, it has turned into a religious dispute that a couple of kids in the first grade might have over baseball cards. Stephens, a former pastor and apparently a very devout Christian, found the Jewish holidays not conducive to the kind of bench he wanted to run, and peer pressure with those involved added their opinions to the matter into what became a “disruptive” work environment. And after Edelstein requested her Jewish holidays off for observance, she was terminated just a few days thereafter, leading to this court case six years later. 

When I hear numbers like 1.1 million dollars, it sounds like a lot of money. And there are disputes within Butler County, especially the prosecutor’s office, that want a redo. They want to rob the jury opinion away from the award because it’s an embarrassing loss for them. Kimberly already successfully argued the case; Stephens was found guilty in the matter, and it’s unusual in the audacity of it because usually, people don’t defend themselves the way the former magistrate did in this case, but the legal parameters are quite clear. A jury of her peers found that Kimberly Edelstein was improperly terminated, her own Constitutional protections were violated, which any judge in the world should have known better, and it harmed her for further employment. When you study as a magistrate, your employment options are sort of limited to civil service. It’s not like the next job is right around the corner. It tends to be a very specific field with limited employment opportunities. So taking a stand based on Constitutional foundations is risky. But I would say that our society is better for it. The case law in this situation should serve as a warning on how to behave in the office. If people need to take time off for religious observance, that’s one of their rights. Manage your subordinates appropriately and be as fair as possible in the process. That’s basic management 101. But don’t use power and position, then peer pressure from the local lodge to attempt to undo an award from a jury. When a mistake is made, admit to it and move on. 

Kimberly Edelstein has lost a significant portion of her life and income to this Constitutional stand, so if you divide up the money awarded to her by the amount, it’s not very much money for the six years she has been fighting it. I will never understand religious disputes. I have read most of the major religious positions worldwide, and there isn’t much to indicate that religions should be at war in their texts. In all their cases, the religious texts attempt to elevate the mind by reading them to more significant concepts of existence. They should never decline in value to an argument over work holidays. An individual obtaining spiritual development, no matter how they get there, makes for a better employee in the workplace. Not one that has to pick between spiritual enlightenment and an oppressive boss that has the ability to control your paycheck. And among judges in the legal community, this basic level of sophistication should be part of the formula before they ever put on a robe for court. Such silly disputes should never occur, and if they did, everyone should be learning a hard lesson here. The real cost to taxpayers is in the mismanagement of the employees and the burden that parasitic lawyers apply in the background. That is the essence of this case. Mistakes by public employees, such as judges, and disputes over the merits of religion, especially one with common root sources, only feed the lawyers who influence everything in the background. And it took guts for Kimberly Edelstein to represent herself, to not further feed the legal system that is rigged against the taxpayers and the Constitution, and to win. All judges and prosecutors should be celebrating such an action because it brings the purity of law and order to Butler County for the good of everyone. But the anger that has formed in the wake comes over the ability of social groups, peer pressure application of collectivism against individuals such as Kimberly Edelstein, to apply free will to a living life. And behind that assumption is a very sinister position that is as anti-Constitution as an example could be found anywhere. This is the real cost of a case like this and a warning to all applications of a society that seeks law, order, and fairness for individuals, not a legal community that is blowing millions and millions of taxpayer dollars to preserve a system of corruption that is just behind the curtain of civic duty.

Fighting the Jab in Batavia, Ohio: Becoming part of the solution as Beverly Welbourne is leading the way

This is how it’s going to be for a long time. I had an excellent talk with Beverly Welbourne, a Ph.D. level expert on oriental alternative medicine, on the topic of shedding as a direct result of the Covid vaccines. It was more than obvious what the world of tomorrow would look like. Failing everywhere are the relics of the professional class, the network of liberalism that was shaped long ago to make up the components of the Liberal World Order, as Joe Biden referred to its potential collapse early in his administration. Their fear is real because, as a direct reaction to the imposition of that Liberal World Order, many people like Beverly have formed to fill in the gaps of failure and have exercised their freedom to apply self-reliance to their lives to avoid the shortcomings of institutionalism. And we see that effect on several fronts, especially in government medicine and public schools. Even as public education options continue to increase, with parents looking for alternatives to government schools and their many failures, government medicine has been an even worse disaster, which was most noticeable during Covid and the strategy of applying “the jab” as a reaction to the manufactured virus outbreak where the government essentially has become the drug pusher for Big Pharma. And those unfortunate enough to have been lured into taking “the jab” continue to see negative aftereffects. Statistically, premature deaths are up across the world; people are dying much younger than we would typically associate such a negative ailment, and the aftereffects of shedding are permeating even two years after the covid jabs were applied to people. 

Beverly explained to me that there is an upcoming meeting in Batavia on March 16th, 2023, at 7:15 PM at the County Engineer’s Office where her group is forming to meet with local politicians, mayors, commissioners, and health policy administrators to encourage them to do what is happening all over the nation. As we were talking, there was a report out of Florida in Collier County to ban the jab, and they have aligned with Lee County to the same effect. All over the United States, there is this push to eliminate the government policy of applying pressure to anybody in pushing for “the jab” as a strategy for dealing with Covid. Nobody knows much about this virus and the medicine the government has applied to deal with it. On all fronts, it has been a failure that the Liberal World Order has been very slow to admit to. It’s embarrassing for them, and they are dragging their feet in recognizing their role in the liability. So there are pockets of activism like what Beverly is involved in that are providing open resistance to these imposing government policies, and led mainly by local branches of the Republican Party, they are showing success at getting a political alliance to join in solutions, which start with eliminating “the jab” as a strategy to deal with the manufactured virus that was released from the Wuhan lab in China. In Batavia, they have a health administrator that is about to get a renewal on her position, and she has been “pro jab” from the beginning. They are pushing for replacing that position which will be addressed at this meeting. Apparently, to participate, you don’t have to be a local resident, but you could come from all over the country to express your feelings on this important matter. And the results are starting to show up in pockets like the Collier County example in Florida. 

Beverly Welbourne is also collecting stories on people’s miseries regarding Covid, the vaccines, and the resulting shedding cases that are a big problem for way too many people. So she encourages anybody with such stories to provide them to her so she can adequately chronicle those ailments in a way that the medical community would like to avoid. As with everything built by that Liberal World Order, the Administrative State that I mention all the time, which is essentially the weapon of the Deep State, people are establishing themselves as decentralized critics of those control mechanisms and exercising options in their lives to offset the sinister effects of that social failure. Government medicine is just as much of a disaster as government schools, the alignment of the Fed with our country’s financial building blocks, and the primary application of order in a society corrupted with social constructs that show massive outbreaks of violence in society as a result of the government trying to replace good parents as the primary instructional tool for social development. We don’t have to put up with these failures and accept their results. And it takes a lot of Beverly Welbourn’s out there to shake loose that evolving structure and to tell those stories that the Administrative State would otherwise avoid. There is nothing that they fear more than to have a bunch of people in these local communities, such as this upcoming Batavia event and these examples in Florida than to have people show up and let it be told their stories of devastation as a result of this government-mandated disaster that has become Covid. The first step in taking back your life from such impositions is to let someone like Beverly tell your story and get you pointed in the right direction as an alternative to the government mandates and peer pressure that has been applied to innocent people as a result of bad Covid policy.

Everyone initially knew that there were significant problems with the Covid vaccinations. There were going to be side effects that would be harmful to people. Yet the government pushed the medicine on the public anyway. There are major liability issues with this “jab” policy that many politicians just don’t have the heart to admit to until they are forced to. Events like this upcoming meeting in Batavia get things moving on that front but don’t expect massive news coverage. It will take a rebel media like this site to get the word out. Because all the affiliates of that Liberal World Order are in on the guilt of that liability, and by covering the stories, they will reveal themselves guilty of serious crimes and dangers that people have experienced even years after the shots were first applied. And the last thing they want is for people to get together with Beverly as a resistance to the “jab” policies and the government’s role in pushing it on the public. No government action will come to the rescue to save people from the dangers of Covid.

We will have to do it ourselves, just like most everything else, from publishing to medicine, education, and even economics. Government, by its nature, is prone to failure, and we have a lot of work to do on many fronts to correct that tendency. Working with the government to manage the government is the best option, and that is what this meeting in Batavia intends. But blind trust in that government to do the right thing is a fantasy at best. Left to their own devices, they will sell out to Big Pharma and become the mask of compliance to policies set by Pharma to use the government as their drug dealers. And that’s when innocent people get hurt in devastating ways. This is why Beverly is looking for help in fighting this issue in Batavia, Ohio, in a movement that is growing across the nation and is the best hope for corrective action moving into the future regarding the many government blunders of Covid and its relationship with Big Pharma, and all known consequences, from the beginning.  

Here are the directions and time for the meeting:

The Clermont County General Health District Advisory Council will hold its annual meeting on Thursday, March 16, 2023, in the conference room of the Engineer’s Office, 

2381 Clermont Center Drive, Batavia, Ohio 45103.   This is a public meeting and is scheduled for 7:15 PM.

Beverly Welbourne email: bjwelbourne@hotmail.com

Phone number: 513 489 9777

People can contact Beverly if they have questions about the meeting or a vaccine or shedding story that they are willing to share (whether or not at this meeting)

The Best Thing to Happen to Lakota: What success sounds like

I would have never been involved in the last election for school board members if Lynda O’Conner hadn’t asked me to. My kids are grown, my grandkids are being homeschooled, and I think public education is a trash heap anyway. You should join my Thanksgiving Dinners sometime and listen to us talk about politics. My kids likely will homeschool their kids all the way through graduation, we all despise it so much, and we hate the people even more.   Bible verses come to my mind a lot these days, given the amount of evil that is showing itself in the world, and this one from  Isaiah 49:26  states my feelings about the matter pretty well “And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I am the LORD.” Public schools are oppressive places filled with vile, evil people, and spending one cent of my tax money on them angers me greatly. It took Lynda over seven years to earn my trust enough to have something beyond a polite conversation, and in that process, I came to think that she might be able to help the public school system in some small way, which is always worth doing. I watched some of the school board meetings where other board members would gang up on her because she was the only conservative, and I wanted to help her. So I worked with her during the 2021 election, and Isaac Adi and Darbi Boddy were found and elected to the board, and Lynda then had a conservative majority, and I hoped that Lakota would improve into something functional. 

Make sure to tune into the 2-hour and 18-minute mark.

So it was a painful experience to watch Lynda immediately turn on Darbi Boddy in the way that she did and turn into everything I don’t like about public schools. It was ironic to watch the Lakota school board work so hard to get rid of Darbi because they simply didn’t like her by trying to force her to resign over an accidental porn link while communicating legitimate information to the public. Then to have Lynda end up with the same problem within a year, and to have those same school board members who were working against Lynda while Brad Lovell was the board president, into defending her as a sister. We were told that when it came to Darbi, porn links on websites were bad. But when it came to Lynda, it was an accident that wasn’t a big deal. And that is the kind of thing that I don’t like about public schools, where adults who have lived bad lives try to live through their children and play a make-believe game that if only the community would spend just a few more dollars on educating children, that everything in the world would be better. And up until this year, I thought that if good people were involved in school boards, maybe things could work in public education. But I have arrived at similar conclusions as one public speaker at the most recent March 6th meeting, Jamie Minniear, did at a school board meeting. Jamie took the emotion of the year and expressed it, I think, in a way worth noting, which I found reflected my thoughts as well. It’s hard to care about people in politics, but it happens, and that pain can’t be easily contained, which is evident in Jamie’s public statements:

“Lynda-I wasn’t sure how to best communicate my thoughts to you at this point. The lack of response to my many questions over the months, combined with your greeting me at Republican meetings in recent weeks as if all is well, is what prompted me to come here tonight. So much that has happened over the last couple of years with you, in particular, has been difficult to swallow. To say you have been dishonest is an understatement-in fact, I can’t think of anything you have been transparent and honest about. This started with you not supporting parent authority during COVID, then the Matt Miller disaster where you withheld public record requests, violated the 1st amendment by disallowing public comments about Mr. Miller, and in a shocking close to the string of dishonesty, in the face of you reading the superintendents admission to 1) having a sexual fantasy conversation about 3 Lakota students, and 2) his admission to publically advertising his wife to other men for sex on Craigslist-with that alarming information in hand, you said calmly at the November 21st board meeting – “… the board of education’s highest priority is the safety of its students, these claims against Mr. Miller were found to be false by multiple agencies,” Mrs. O’Connor, I ask you, how are the claims false when they are confessed to by Mr. Miller? Then, during that same statement, you went on with a celebration of Mr. Miller by saying, “the board would like to express its full support for Mr. Miller – Mr. Miller is an is an excellent leader in our district, and he is a shining light in Ohio.” How do you, with any sense of morality and respect for Lakota and the community, lift Mr. Miller up and celebrate him like a hero with Mr. Miller’s vulgar confession in one hand and the microphone in your other? You never discussed Mr. Miller’s confession. You first tried to hide it, then ignored it. But here’s the problem. When someone withholds and ignores information, it is a suppression of truth – this is lying. You withheld and ignored Matt Miller’s gross confessions. You lied to the community. In regards to the email you sent me yesterday trying to convince me not to come tonight. You are right about scripture saying go to a brother if you have a grievance with him. But there’s a second part to the scripture. Matthew 18:15-17 If a fellow believer hurts you, go and tell him—work it out between the two of you. If he won’t listen, take others along so that the presence of witnesses will keep things honest, and try again. I and many others have come to you individually, as scripture says, but you’ve done and said nothing. Tonight, is the second part of scripture which is bringing it out in front of others to have an account of the issue and keep things honest. Finally, with no attempt on your part to bring clarity or honesty to what happened, I’m asking you to discontinue greeting or engaging with me in public. I’m not interested in pretending all is well.”

I did this a few years ago, and it’s still very relevant, especially on this matter. Cliffhanger is my fast-draw shooting name at competitions.

Matt Miller was probably the best thing to happen to Lakota; I agree with many apologists on the matter. We are a better community because of Matt Miller. But not because of his work at the school but because of the network of sexual swingers, radical liberals, tax increase supporters, and outright villainy that was uncovered; as a result, going from our sheriff’s department to our school board and all the lawyers in between. As a community, we learned a lot, but more than anything, we have been confronted with a kind of evil that has always worked in the background, and we wonder why our kids grow up destroyed and unable to function in the real world. Look at their parents. And in many ways, the Matt Miller controversies brought all this to the surface and showed people to be what they always were, which leads to always tax increases to fill the financial voids of their empty lives. This is something that went far beyond simple political matters and moved into the struggle of life and death itself and the role of goodness or evil on earth in conflict over a simple curriculum. And when we are told that there is no CRT or that highly liberal and political teachers aren’t sexually grooming kids, it’s coming from the same people who told us that Darbi was bad for accidentally linking porn on her website but that Lynda was good because she had porn on her website for two months because the domain expired and nobody noticed. Both were accidents, but one was deemed bad by the established system, by the same people, yet everything was fine when it came to Lynda. Just as they told us, there was nothing to the Matt Miller story, even as we read it with our own eyes in the police report. 

Rather than get emotionally discharged over all these slaps in the face, I have been reminding people that this is an election year, and Lynda is up for consideration. Obviously, it will take more than just putting conservatives on the school board to fix anything and to make what our tax money is spent on just a little better. It’s going to take actually good people, and in my view of the world, Darbi Boddy does that. I would love to have four more on the school board like her. But this election will be different; it won’t just be about names on a Republican slate card or even a party endorsement. This is literally a fight between good and evil. People who would lie to our faces, manipulate our trust, and then carry that sentiment over into the education of children as if they were too innocent to see how the adults are really behaving. If we want to have even a bit of hope for the future of children, then the adults have to start behaving much better. And what we have seen coming from the Lakota school board over this last year has been bad, and kids are smart enough to understand why. It wasn’t Darbi Boddy who lied to the public and misrepresented herself. She is only guilty of not playing the game because she ran on a platform of not playing games. Because games are expensive and they don’t help educate children. But the hurt regarding Lynda is that many people wanted to help her do good things at Lakota, and in the end, she pushed away her supporters and was supported most by those who worked against her. And that level of betrayal is a timely enterprise because it happened when it counted most, during an election year, so people can now at least make a clear choice without a lot of friendly emotions getting in the way. We have seen the truth, and now we have an obligation to act on it. Which we will. 

It is always an honor to be hated by these kinds of people. If they like you, then you should worry.
Watch Isaac Pander to the Mob. Always judge people by what they do, not what they say

Regarding the 2-hour and 18-minute mark of the March 6 Lakota school board meeting video, it is easy to see what we are dealing with.  When my name was brought up, several people asked me how it felt to have people laughing at me during this meeting.  I replied in every instance that I was very honored to have those people feel so strongly.  Those types of personalities, such as the person pictured with the “removedarbiboddy.com” shirt, are what have infested these public schools with so much terrible behavior.  I thought Isaac’s reaction was interesting, especially after all the times he thanked me for all the nice words I sent in his direction.  But watching him in that format and actually leading the crowd says everything anybody needs to know.   There are the things that people say to get elected.  Then there is what they do to stay in favor of the mob.  And make no mistake about it; the mob is in charge at Lakota schools and all public schools.  Wanting to be liked by the mob is how we lose people like Isaac and Lynda to them.  So it is great to see someone, Darbi Boddy, sit in the middle of that mob and show such resilience.   And by doing what she has, we see more people following in that lead and ultimately changing the culture at Lakota into something that those laughing will be forced to take a lot more seriously.

Vivek Ramaswamy Enters the Presidential Race: It makes MAGA better and impossible for Democrats to compete

My general rule for weather is that I don’t care “whether” or not it exists; I do what I’m going to do regardless. I had time to shoot the video above about Vivek Ramaswamy entering the presidential race for 2024, so I did my usual thing and started talking. It happened to be that there were tornados in the area at the time, and the weather was actually quite bad. But as it has been in my life for all of it, I don’t bend the knee to nature. Rather, I find a way to do what I’m going to do regardless of the environmental conditions. I rode a motorcycle on the harshest winter days with many inches of snow on the ground for many years. I rode bicycles when my wife and I could only afford one car to work every day, while I worked two full-time jobs during the day, and we had a paper route on the weekends, and I never called off work due to weather. I have the same rule for sicknesses, which is why I found the government policies on Covid so revolting. Science is meant to be conquered. You don’t yield to the weather. You make it bow to you. So if I have something to do, like film a video on Vivek Ramaswamy’s presidential announcement, I’m going to do it and see how the equipment held up. In this case, it was mostly good, so I kept it because it was enjoyable to do, and I think it said some unique things about the situation. But there were a couple of times when all the rain that was falling filled up the microphone holes on the camera and made it hard to hear, making this one a unique presentation. 

But it’s a topic I must discuss because I like Vivek Ramaswamy; I know him a bit and enjoy his books. I think what he is doing with Strive Asset Management is one of the most critical strategic commitments in the world at the current moment because the follies of our day from the political villains is tied directly to the woke efforts of BlackRock and other money managers who have found the ultimate way to attack our country, through our 401K plans, with us financing our own destruction. Vivek is providing through Strive an alternative to that massive strategic imposition which, in the end, I think will literally change the world. BlackRock, who is essentially transferring wealth from America and building up China, as we speak, is being forced to rebrand itself primarily because of Vivek Ramaswamy’s efforts over the last few years, and that is something that doesn’t get talked about much on the various news pieces that Vivek does where he does a great job going onto all the big television shows and explaining all this to a public that typically glazes over when talk of finance is involved. That’s how woke companies with political activism in mind have gotten away with this massive imposition, is that people assume that it’s all too complicated for them, so they don’t pay attention to how the enemy has been attacking our American infrastructure through finance replacing ground troops. So I’m quite a fan of Vivek Ramaswamy; once history remembers these days, he will be one of the people credited with saving the United States and its financial system. So it was a proper metaphor that there was rough weather during my recording because that’s how it is presently. It’s rough out there, but the show must always go on. 

I personally think it’s good for people like Vivek Ramaswamy to be in the presidential race. I’ve been listening to all of Trump’s speeches and what sounded good in 2016 when he won the White House for the first time; it’s starting to sound old now. I don’t think anything hurts Trump for 2024, his voters have revenge on their minds, and they will vote for him out of sheer spite for what our government has done over the last five years, starting during 2020 while Trump was still in office with the impeachments, the investigations, Covid, election tampering through Facebook, the FBI, and crazy Covid rules that were not bound by Constitutional principles. Trump’s message of small government fighting against big government is a tired game, and he has allowed himself to be pulled into a victim state, and he needs to turn toward more positive messaging to gain those voters over the 30% threshold. No matter who is running against Trump, the president will keep his base support. Whether it’s Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, Mike Pompeo, or Mike Pence, anybody who enters the presidential race will run behind President Trump, and Trump will be the Republican nominee. But I think Vivek Ramaswamy, because of his fabulous media presence, will help change the dialogue. I think the same about Ron DeSantis; he has succeeded in Florida. And there is a lot of positive governing to talk about. Like it always is, competition makes people better. I think these challengers for the presidential nomination will help shape the national dialogue away from so many negative things, which is perfectly justifiable, and put them on an elevated platform for an American vision. I see only good things happening because Vivek Ramaswamy is in the race. I also read Ron DeSantis’s book on Tuesday when it came out, and it’s quite good. It’s good to talk about all his successes in Florida as compared to the Biden administration. It’s a great continuation of the MAGA movement even as Trump has been exiled from Washington D.C. politics. But in the end, it won’t matter; Trump will be the nominee. But the competition will change politics on the national stage as we know it, all in good ways.  The best thing that will happen is that the political left will not be able to compete with the Republican messaging. These are not the same Republicans we had in 2016, where Trump outlasted many challengers. Largely these new Republicans are stars from the MAGA movement, and they have success stories to tell that were not present in 2016. It’s a very different political world now than what it was. If Vivek talks daily about money management and the dangers of BlackRock using 401K plans to destroy America with wokeness, or Ron DeSantis can show how liberal states have failed yet Florida has prevailed, the political left has no answer to any of these things, and they will be wiped out in 2024. They have no bench depth, only really old hippies from the 60s who are watching their drug-induced dreams fall apart in front of their faces. The media hasn’t caught on to it yet, but the cracks are more than evident. The Democrats will have a hard time dealing with these MAGA Republicans running for office, forcing Trump to redefine his message of the Power of Positive Thinking and restore to America what great possibilities are available under good leadership. And I can’t think of a better representation of that positive message than Vivek Ramaswamy. I think, in the end, Trump will be better off. Before it’s all said and done, I would personally like to see Vivek Ramaswamy in a position to restore greatness to our economy in some challenging days that will come because he is undoubtedly the best man for the

The Insane Gender Neutrality Movement: Politics with influences 106 years in the future

The best explanation I have seen yet about why suddenly gender neutrality is such a priority comes from Erich von Daniken’s excellent and exciting book, The Gods Never Left Us. In that book, there is a very interesting opening where an older man sits in his reading chair and notices a strange holographic light that occasionally appears by his foot. He rationalizes that it is not some reflection of light but is some self-generating aperture with its own mass. It comes across as some kind of mini black hole. So he calls up his son, who works at CERN, the supercollider in Switzerland, to ask his professional opinion and to wonder if the discovery of the God particle there might be somehow connected to this strange light that is appearing in his living room. The Higgs Bosen, the God particle discovered on the LHC supercollider in 2012, The Large Hadron Collider, has faster-than-light properties and opens up all kinds of possibilities concerning the realm of quantum mechanics. As a result of some investigation into the strange light in the old man’s living room, a team from CERN shows up to measure it and chronicle its behavior. They soon discover a coded message that comes to them 106 years in the future that shows very beautiful but sexless characters who are explaining to these scientists that they are attempting to conduct some scientific experiments regarding “bridging,” which is to step over time periods and communicate beyond the dimension of time, which starts to make a lot more sense when quantum mechanics is applied to logical understanding. 

The evidence that the gods, as we term them, were never obscure religious figures from ancient texts but have been from the beginning always with us, for as long as more than 450,000 years, according to legends of kingly chronicles coming from the Middle East in Sumerian culture, Egyptian, and Indus Valley mythology. And the premise of von Daniken’s book is that earth was seeded from places around the galaxy, likely not just by one species but several. And this isn’t some fringe theory; several American astronauts believe the same thing based on their experience, notably Edgar Mitchell, who I think is very credible. Beliefs like this are not given to us at birth by our parents. They are formed over time based on our realistic interaction with the facts. And those who work in science and deal with facts find that the ancient texts controlling mankind’s view of the cosmos were a purposeful strategy to keep some of those ancient bloodlines in kingly power over the many thousands of years since. It doesn’t take long beyond all that to realize that many of our secret societies are supremely concerned with this very problem of keeping bloodlines of families in some sort of royal power, and the purpose of various religions was to keep those same people believing in that social structure, so not to threaten the power of those who had it in the form of royal lineage. This, of course, was easier to do in a less complicated time. Today people have access to a lot of information, and the more that information has been available to people in a mass form, such as in the printing press where common people could read things for themselves, this power game has been hard to control. Especially these days when the internet allows all forms of mass communication. It may have been designed to control mass populations with a kind of censored message, such as we saw regarding governments and Covid, but the opposite has happened; people are able to ask questions and get information beyond the power structures that want to rule over them.    

Then to complicate things further, once you open up all the quantum possibilities that are involved with the Higgs Boson particle, well, now all those gods and voices that appear to prophets and kings that founded kingdoms, even the claims of modern politics and the secret societies that are trying to have a relationship with all this ancient knowledge, you suddenly have ordinary, everyday people talking to other people from 106 years in the future as if they were just talking on the cell phone or sending people an email. Time didn’t matter all of a sudden as a unit of measure, just as communication with people over vast distances around the earth could be instantaneous. The only real difference was that time was measured based on the earth’s rotation compared to the sun, so other places around the world were dealing with time zones. A message sent from the east coast of America might be given at 8 AM in the morning, but it might be received in Europe at 2 PM in the afternoon. Or perhaps 13 hours later in Japan. Yet the message happens all at the same time from its point of origin. And this is the same kind of problem when you start dealing with faster-than-light neutrinos around the galaxy. We are just now beginning to learn about some of these things, and we will uncover many more mysteries in the years to come. 

Yet, as interesting as all this is, the nature of all living forms is very much the same; their base conduct is to rule over others for their own safety and security. So the warzone is often knowledge, who has it, and who can use it to the best effect. That book, The Gods Never Left Us, was published in 2018, and at that time, the gender neutrality issue was picking up political steam. It had been around from liberal communities for several years, most notably the cultural assault from The Rocky Horror Picture Show. And in a very short time, the gender neutrality issue has exploded into our political discussions as a sudden priority. But why? Well, much of this acceleration has occurred since the discovery of the God particle at CERN.

We must consider how all these various characters with deep roots into our earthly past are motivated toward power and preservation for their own interests. Still, now we must consider that all those species of living forms also interact with us across multiple times as they exist in earth’s own future and past, but also around the galaxy where we know particles can respond to influences in live time. They don’t often follow the rules of our known physics, a particle here on earth might rotate one way but move in the opposite as a direct influence on the other side of the universe, instantly. And suppose communication can occur along those lines. In that case, we could be getting all sorts of crazy information that may not make sense to us from sources literally everywhere, across time, in ways we have difficulty comprehending. And it is in this kind of insanity, measured based on our terrestrial existence here on earth, where our religious parameters have kept us safe from all this intergalactic communication, that the gender neutrality movement is trying to impose itself on our species by a group of lifeforms who no longer identify themselves as a sex-based culture. And as crazy as all that might sound, it really is the only possible explanation for why gender neutrality has suddenly become a political priority. Nothing else really makes any sense. Lifeforms 106 years in the future have shown themselves, and our culture has responded by trying to copy those gods in their form as we always have attempted to do. But the results are clearly not the desire of all people in our culture, which is presenting us with this current political conflict.
