The Vivek Ramaswamy I Know: He’s a good guy who wants to help save America for all the right reasons

It’s tough to be a front-runner, which is where Vivek Ramaswamy finds himself among the second-place contenders for President of the United States. As much as I like Vivek, I’m a Trump guy, and from the beginning, it has always been for me Trump, Trump, and more Trump when it comes to the White House. It’s Trump, or something much harsher, that does not consider civility. Trump was treated wrong during his first four years and has been treated wrong since he left office. And to set things right in America, Trump must be back in the White House. So, I have not covered Vivek Ramaswamy’s presidential campaign because he has been running against Trump. However, now that the smoke is starting to clear, and Vivek has shown that he’s never betrayed Trump and has adopted a very MAGA platform in the running for president, there are some things that we can talk about that have come up regarding his character. Now that the world has come to know Vivek Ramaswamy, there are concerns that he’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing, the picked insurgent from Wall Street. After all, he is worth nearly a billion dollars, so he doesn’t exactly fit the profile of “one of us.” But then again, Trump is a billionaire, and as I’ve said many times, the Trump of the 80s and 90s is not the kind of person I would have voted for President. And Vivek is still a very young person, not yet 40. But now that he has overcome DeSantis in most polling, and everyone else, all the presidential candidates likely running to be vice president, Vivek is getting more negative media attention, which requires some clarity.

Before there was a book there was a bright young man who wanted to do something good.

I don’t think Vivek Ramaswamy is anything but sincere in his efforts to run for president and have a political future to continue something good that Trump has started. I know Vivek to a degree and have met him several times. He’s from my area of Cincinnati, so our paths have crossed a lot. I remember very well when he launched his political career at the Middletown Republican Party headquarters, talking about a book he was about to release called Woke Inc, which has gone on to bring great awareness to the dangers of corporate Marxism run by people like Larry Fink from the World Economic Forum. Vivek is a person of magnificent intelligence, and I would look to him as the next great economic advisor in the Trump administration. Vivek Ramaswamy has started Strive Management as an offering to take on the prominent money managers in BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard, operating out of Columbus, Ohio, instead of Wall Street, New York. Strive Management, I think, is the solution to the monster that the Federal Reserve has created. So, Vivek Ramaswamy isn’t just some dreamy Republican looking for attention. His heart is undoubtedly in the right place, and I can say that because of my interactions with him. Vivek came to an event that I was a part of organizing, and as he explained to me, it was there at that point in his life that he began to see the other side of things, and it inspired him to step away from being a CEO of biotech companies and instead do his part to save America. So, just because people are wealthy and successful, it doesn’t mean they have sold their souls away and are useless for the rest of their lives. People are always on a journey; they seldom stay the same throughout their lives. They evolve as they learn, and Vivek is still a young man and learning who he is.

I like Vivek quite a lot

Vivek Ramaswamy is a great talent, and I am not surprised he’s getting much serious attention as a presidential candidate.  I hope he is in that kind of position for many years.  As much as I support President Trump, it is time to start thinking about 2028 and beyond.  And I believe Vivek Ramaswamy is there to continue a MAGA platform that can help correct America’s severe problem with international finance, where America’s real problems start.  It’s not some faraway country that is the next military threat to American interests; it’s the local bank and the money manager of our 401K plans, and few people in the world understand that better than Vivek Ramaswamy.  And that will be just as much of a problem four years from now as it is currently.  So, I am very supportive of Vivek Ramaswamy, and I want him to succeed in this presidential venture so that he continues to offer his talents to politics to carry a MAGA platform well into the future.  And I have enough personal information about him by knowing him and talking to him to give my opinion on his motives in all this.  I think he’s a young person who has had great success and realized it wasn’t enough.  He has a gift for communication and wants to use it to save a country he loves.  I know the event that he told me about helped shape that moment for him in stepping away from being a wealthy CEO and becoming a political figure that could extend the Trump platform for the Republican Party well into the future.  With a wink and a nod, I would say to everyone, that’s why we have events like the one I’m alluding to.  Because you never know how many Vivek Ramaswamys are out there asking questions about their lives and looking for something meaningful to do next. 

I think Kari Lake is the leading vice-presidential candidate. But for many reasons, I believe Vivek Ramaswamy would be better. The more he talks, the better things get, and as a political party of Republicans, we want Vivek to speak as much as possible. I would love to have four years of Vivek as a vice president, getting on-the-job training for eight solid years as a president. The Vivek I know is a guy who made it big, and it wasn’t enough. Like Trump, he has independent wealth and wants to use his skills to help his country. His political activity has nothing to do with a desire to be near corruption and be recognized as necessary. He already is. But due to his financial independence, like Trump, he is turning to politics to give something back that few people in the world ever get. So, I think Vivek is running for president, not as a controlled asset of Wall Street. But as a person who has stepped over from the dark side of finance and can help fix a very broken problem with his unique skills. I don’t think Vivek ever meant to be on the dark side; he left college and stepped into the world to be successful for all the right reasons, the way society measures it. But these days, he’s more than that; he has grown. And that is why he’s running for office, and he should be a positive contributor to positive political efforts for many years. There are good guys out there, even in the world of politics. Trump came to this good guy desire late in life. And when it comes to Vivek Ramaswamy, it has come early, and perhaps just in time to help save the world.

Warriors and sell-outs, they are not the same.

The Company of Tomorrow: Political trends are shifting away from the World Economic Forum values, and that’s a great thing

Everyone is always looking for the next great business tip for a competitive advantage, so here it is.  You can tell because of trends like what is going on with the Washington Redskins NFL team and the Cleveland Indians.  The fans of those teams are getting petitions signed to restore their names to what they were pre-woke.  The momentum of wokeness has shifted, and we see the political pendulum swinging the other way.  The Marxists had their chance, which didn’t have a positive impact that society could see for themselves.  The Beatles song “Imagine” didn’t come out very well when the World Economic Forum was starting mass viruses for their Great Reset and turning the responsibility of enforcement over to your local human resource office to do through businesses what nobody would ever be able to do through government regulation.  The Marxists of the world figured out that by design, our political systems in America were established to go slow to keep the government from interrupting the machine of capitalism.  So, they turned their attention to businesses to attack them there, and what we have seen happening in business climates over the last several decades has been Marxism, and people didn’t notice until recently.  Because most people have an adversarial relationship with their employers, it wasn’t something people saw coming in the front door.  But now that it’s here, they want it gone.  And that is the future state of business.  I’ve seen this communist, Marxist approach in the industry for a long time, growing year by year, and finally, after Trump was removed from office after a government-organized coup, no different from the many communist revolutions around the world, people finally have had enough of it, and that trend began to go the other way after the last Covid vaccine mandates. 

Just as professional sports teams were tricked into changing their names into woke acceptance, this is not what society wants.  They want cool names for their sports teams, not the Guardians, but the Indians in Cleveland.  I was just in Cleveland, and that name change a few years into it is still a joke, and it’s not getting better.  I have had some interactions with members of the family of that team, and their woke acceptance has not gone over well.  People are turning on them for allowing woke politics into their sacred sports franchise.  And that is certainly the case with the Washington Football team in D.C.  People want their Redskins back.  This anti-capitalist approach to life is not what people want in the world.  They have been patient with corporations that became politically active toward Marxism, some of America’s largest corporations.  When we talk about globalism, we are essentially talking about Marxism because that is how it is everywhere else.  Americans have taken the advantages of capitalism for granted because they didn’t know any better.  And they assumed that the companies they worked for had at least primary American values.  But that’s not how most corporations are these days; they have drifted into this Marxist compliance because if they had manufacturing plants in China, Vietnam, or Europe, they were dealing with some level of Marxism, whether it was outright communism or socialism.  It was not free market capitalism that was the driver of their economies.  It was the slow-moving and lazy administrative state, and it was slowing things down to levels that have been unacceptable in America.  I’m old enough to know what it was like before, and I have watched over several decades of being on the front line how Marxism has migrated into the human resource departments to influence how people live their everyday lives.  But the final straw happened during Covid and the slow realization that most people have from President Trump being in the White House, then Joe Biden.  Bidenomics has not been good for anybody but the global Marxists. 

I have often pointed out, over a long period, how the Lean Manufacturing trend was filled with cultural Marxism.  Many of the central foundations of business ethics these days attack the notion of the golf-playing CEO with a nice car, a trophy wife, and is oozing with success.  In Lean Manufacturing, they want the members of management to come from their offices out to where the work is done, not just to become more effective in understanding a problem.  That is how it sold to them.  But it’s really to minimize management in the eyes of the employees, to establish a level of sameness among everyone that displays nobody is in charge but the centralized employees.  Not even the marketplace.  Compliance with regulators as they get their talking points from the World Economic Forum has been their weapon of choice and has been a slow burn.  The CEOs and CFOs who have survived the most were those bootlicker types who appeased the bureaucratic regulators and were not focused on giving the public what they wanted—but imposing on the public Marxist restrictions not just in the employer but in the marketplace itself.  Rather than march people into Washington D.C. at gunpoint as Castro did in Cuba and kill political rivals off point blank, the Marxists took a much more passive-aggressive route.  They regulated capitalists out of existence.  But the marketplace is catching on and is pushing back.  Because of Trump’s successful administration, people tasted the good life again and want it back.  So, the political sentiment is swinging the other way. 

The World Economic Forum is failing; many of their 2030 plans, as scary as they are for their intent, are falling apart, much the way the name changes in sports are getting so much public pushback.  I do get to talk to people worldwide for perspective, and the sentiment is pretty much everywhere the same.  They are upset with Marxism and don’t want it in their products or the companies that make them.  And they certainly don’t want it in their sports teams.  People were willing to put up with it as long as they had the illusion of capitalism functioning in the background.  But now that they know differently, they want their capitalism back, so the future of business will go to those companies who most embrace capitalism for the majority of market share in the future.  Further woke trends from the human resource departments, such as paperless paychecks into bank accounts that centralized bankers can completely control, are not tomorrow’s trend.  But quite the opposite.  Ownership was diminished by the Marxists, including how pay was distributed or whether or not your employer could force you to get a vaccine of poison to keep your job.  The Marxists got caught talking out of both sides of their mouth; while they were saying work from home, fair pay for fair work, and make sure you get an excellent ESG score, the radical leftist Larry Fink and the Wall Street insurgents were saying, if you value your job, you’ll get the government medicine from the world’s largest drug dealer, the federal government.  People were willing to listen before and in the years leading up to these ridiculous sentiments of globalism on American corporations.  But now they aren’t, and success will be measured differently.  The less compliant with Marxist measures globally, the better companies will be.  And that is tomorrow’s trend for those who want to get a jump start.  Capitalism works not just because it makes money for those who utilize it.  But also, it’s a measure of morality that the public can influence, which was always at the heart of all economic activity and always will be.

How to Make a Good Team in Sports and Politics: The point of everything is to give voters options

It will continue to be one of the universe’s great mysteries why people can look at sports teams and have opinions about what they should be doing, but they can’t apply those same methods to their lives.  This is a prominent issue every year in pre-season football with the mini camps as teams figure out which players they will cut and which will make their final roster.  Good teams figure out the right players and get them all pointed in the right direction for the success or failure of a season.  If the players are allowed to pick their fellow players, teams tend not to do so well.  It takes good leadership to figure it out and put people together who likely wouldn’t figure it out for themselves.  Good teams tend to have players playing together who wouldn’t otherwise be friends.  One of the mysterious qualities of leadership is to see things of value beyond the choice of friendships, and when it comes to sports, most people get it.  They understand what makes success and have many opinions about it.  But they can’t do it when it comes time to utilize those same skills in their lives.  That is certainly the situation in business.  And it is undoubtedly the case in politics.  The goal of all these endeavors is to figure out what success looks like, whether it be winning a Super Bowl, having a great business quarter, or providing a great political party to the voting public; once success is understood, then leadership needs to do what it must to give that result.  It’s not complicated.  Yet, it remains one of the least utilized factors in human interaction. 

There is only one correct measure to winning in politics; it is in a political party providing the voting public with good people they can vote for.  Any other action is missing the point.  If a political party is not focused on those attributes, then they aren’t trying to be a good political party.  I would say this is a problem all over America, in every aspect of county politics, no matter where we talk about it.  And that is certainly the case with the Butler County Republican Party in Ohio, where I live.  I can say that I know many people at that party, and I personally liked them all in some way or another.  If you sit down and talk to people, I can usually find something I like about just about anybody.  But the problem is, do they make an excellent political party just because you want them?  And in most cases, that is not the reality.  Politics should only aim to provide voters and taxpayers with good people to represent them best.  When political parties lose sight of that strategy, things go wrong.  And that is how RINOs in the Republican Party come to be.  Most people get into politics for ideological reasons.  However, the concessions they make to get along with other people become detrimental to their representation of the voter base, which is the value of the party brand.  If people have good representation in politics, then the brand of the party could be said to be good.  If voters don’t, they start to lose faith in the system, voter engagement lowers, and the direction of victory in politics changes dramatically.  When voters feel that the people they elect don’t represent them, we could say that politics has failed.

It’s just like the comparison with the sports team that desires to put a winning team on the field so people come to the games and feel good about the chances for a victory, so they buy beer and overpriced hot dogs at the concessions, which is really how the team makes their money, how they measure their value to the customer base.  If the team isn’t winning, there are fewer fans to buy hot dogs, to put it simply.  The same holds in politics.  I know many people who want to run for office within the Butler County Republican Party.  But, they do not feel they can remain people of integrity because of the restrictions of party politics.  So, we end up with the wrong people running for office while much better candidates that the public would love to have representing them are sitting on the sidelines.  This is a case where the players on the field pick people they like and are comfortable with, not the leadership of the voting public deciding how that team would shape out.  Too often, and this year of 2023 is undoubtedly a good example, many good people are not participating in the political process because they have learned that they aren’t in the cool kids club and will never be invited.  Because the party is picking the members, not the voters.  And instead of letting the voters shape the party, the players are forming the team; then they wonder why many fans are not supporting their losing effort.

Not everyone gets into politics for the same reasons.  I understand that some feel that getting into politics protects their business interests from a corrosive government and provides a barrier to their efforts to keep their businesses healthy.  These are not ideological people but practical ones who see government as dangerous to their interests in business, so they get involved in politics to protect their efforts.  And those people are trying to play nice in the sandbox with ideologically based people who enter politics for reasons of genuine philosophy.  And those kinds of people are scary to those looking for political stability.  I get it.  Just like a wide receiver on a football team being upset that a new tight end is playing the slot receiver role, the wide receiver might feel like the coaching staff is trampling on their turf.  But so what? Maybe that is the best way to become a winning team.  That doesn’t mean that the tight end should be run off the team to make the wide receiver feel like they have job security and aren’t threatened by challengers.  Challenges make the team better.  But then better for whom?  For the players or the fans?  That is what must be decided, and what I have seen from the GOP in general, especially since Trump has been out of office, is a party for the players, not for the voters.  It’s the players making the teams they want to play with.  They are not trying to give the voting public the best representatives they can get.  And if a political party isn’t doing that, they aren’t trying to be the best they can be for their communities.  While such a concept may not be complicated, it remains the biggest stumbling block to any successful venture within human endeavor.   And that is certainly the case in politics.  Some great people want to participate, but they have been told in so many words or less that politics is about maintaining friendships and that everyone needs to stay in their lane and behave.  But that is not what voters want, and until political parties listen, the public will continue to be let down by the result.

The West Chester Tea Party Does Not Endorse Lynda O’Conner for the Lakota School Board: And neither do I

For clarity, the West Chester Tea Party has not, and will not endorse Lynda O’Conner for the Lakota School Board.  There has been some rattling around from several people that they would, but they have told me personally that those rumors were untrue and they do not support her.  And neither do I.  We all have long friendships with Lynda and other candidates who these days call themselves Republicans but have drifted way to the political left.  But friendships or past relationships don’t make a good candidate.  Whether or not they represent our values to earn a vote is the issue at hand.  Too often, endorsements are given out because of friendships, not actual performance.  Lynda O’Conner has been the school board president for a while now, and she has attended Tea Party meetings in West Chester for over a decade and has formed relationships with many of us over the years.  However, based on her performance and what she did to Darbi Boddy as she begged us all to give her a conservative school board, the moment she had it, she essentially turned into the progressive governor that Ohio had, John Kasich, and betrayed us openly, even recklessly.  I tend to move on when I experience people like that.  I’ll give them a chance once, and once they show who they are, I don’t get too kinked up about it.  It’s always worth a try to give someone a chance.  Then, once they show who they are, you make decisions and move on.  Knowing she has betrayed many people in the Liberty movement within the Lakota school district and is running again, she is seeking endorsements for the upcoming election.  I had some reason to believe the rumors that the West Chester Tea Party might endorse Lynda, but quickly, they set the record straight and wanted to make sure they screamed from the mountaintops that they would not support Lynda O’Connor for the Lakota School Board and based on what they have learned about her, they never would. 

I wouldn’t usually talk about something that happened that was confidential, but looking back on it as I have, those privileges are meant within the context of friendly trust.  Yet after what happened with the previous Lakota school superintendent and the behavior against free speech that Lynda led against the incoming school board member Darbi Boddy, it’s clear what was going on, and I’m still insulted that she thought so little of me to try it.  I mean, she should have known better.  I spent hours and hours with Lynda O’Conner on the phone, meeting her in person, trying to help her.  But from her side, all she was doing was consensus-building in the classic sense against someone she had targeted as a political rival in the community.  And that didn’t become clear until the days after a specific meeting in the basement of some of our mutual Tea Party friends in May of 2022.  I should know what she was up to because I have covered these modern versions of The Delphi Technique for years.  It’s one of the most corrosive tools used in all public schools.  After a contentious school board meeting where I spoke in favor of Darbi Boddy, it was clear Lynda was trying to run her off the school board over minor issues.  Lynda had recruited Darbi to give her a majority on the board, along with Isaac Adi, and I did what I could to smooth out the edges and give credibility from the freedom movement side of things.  If I were on board with the effort, it would help the conservative base. 

I didn’t see a need to be overly cautious with this relationship with Lynda.  She had just spent the previous decade trying to win my trust, so I figured getting a functional, conservative school board in charge of Lakota schools was worth a shot.  Even that day I met with her and several other people, it became pretty clear what she was doing; I still wanted to give the effort a chance at working.  But she was looking for compliance out of Darbi Boddy to some liberal view of authority that was shocking to many of us, especially the West Chester Tea Party.  We all found ourselves in the basement of one of the leading members, with Isaac Adi and some school board mentor of his from Monroe schools pushing a sheet of paper in front of me, asking me what I wanted out of Lakota schools, which made me angry because of the amateur effort.  It was an apparent consensus-building exercise, much like the Lakota community conversations had been trying to win over opposition to school policy for a while.  And Lynda sat across from me with a smile, thinking all this was acceptable.  She had surrounded me with people I had trusted, especially in the Tea Party, and she felt that the peer pressure might win me over and away from the continued support of Darbi Boddy.  After all the years and everything I had written over all the time we had known each other, she thought I was that stupid. 

The meeting didn’t go well.  My wife and I left that day, never to speak to any of them personally again, because, within a few months, we had all the drama over the school superintendent.  Everything got worse after much further erosion in the community led by Lynda’s tampering with everyone’s political sentiments and wanting to pull everyone to the left, and lawsuits became a significant issue.  I had to explain to the attorney for the superintendent that if he had just apologized to Darbi Boddy for his role in trying to do what Lynda wanted, which was to remove her from the school board after many of us had spent the previous year trying to get her elected, then a lot of the trouble he found himself in wouldn’t have been such an issue.  But now that people knew and learned how much Lynda knew about it all along, those were self-inflicted problems that ultimately cost a lot of money in the district.  Through it all, I hadn’t talked to any of them in that basement meeting, so when I heard that the West Chester Tea Party was thinking of endorsing Lynda, it wouldn’t have surprised me after all the other people who had fallen off the wagon over the last year.  But if there is anything good that did happen, as a result, they did let me know that they felt the same way about Lynda as I did and that they would not support her or any of the other candidates who have gone over to the dark side of politics.  That’s certainly the case with Ann Becker, who is running for another term as trustee in West Chester.  She used to be president of the Tea Party for both West Chester and Cincinnati, but she has moved well away from those good old days now, more toward the political left.  Watching that kind of thing is painful, but it always happens.  And when it does, you always must wonder what people believe.  But happily, it is good to see that the West Chester Tea Party has not waivered, as others have, and they will not be endorsing Lynda O’Conner for the Lakota School Board.  And neither will I.

History Will Remember How ‘Truth Social’ Saved Free Speech: The Home of President Trump

There was quite a stir when President Trump posted for the first time on X, or whatever Twitter is called these days. Trump put his mug shot on there, and the numbers exploded upon seeing it. I thought it was a great move, but I don’t think it says anything about Trump returning to Twitter as much as it indicates what he will do to win back the White House. Essentially, Trump is all in; he will do anything, and I mean anything, to beat these Marxist losers and kick out the crooked Biden crime family from the White House. I did not see it as abandoning his personal social media site, Truth Social. Later, President Trump assured everyone that Truth Social was his home and that he would stay with it. That doesn’t mean he can’t post what he wants on other social media outlets. Only that Truth Social remained true to his heart, and it should. I think when the smoke clears from this period of history, there will be one common thing that everyone will point to and say, “That saved America.” And I think that thing will be the creation of Truth Social. It was a very dark day; I remember it well. It was the closest thing we have ever seen to a hostile regime change in America, involving thousands of people hostile to Trump and his supporters. After January 20th, 2021, Trump left the White House for the last time, and essentially, he was openly banned from all social media, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Google search engines; the writing was on the wall. We didn’t just have an election that was in dispute; we had a government assassination much the way we did with Kennedy and Nixon. And it happened right before our faces in a way nobody expected. Well, very few people did expect it. I expected it. But the results were shocking to a lot of people.

I don’t talk about a lot of the behind-the-scenes stuff.  I put out my social media, and lots of people see it.  But there is a lot of shadow banning going on, and with me, that has been the case since social media started.  In many ways, I may be one of the most shadow-banned people on planet Earth.  I noticed it on YouTube years ago, well before President Trump joined politics.  You can look at videos I did 15 years ago and see that some have less than 100 views.  Some people put videos of hamsters drinking water, which get millions of hits, so for videos that old, what in the world was going on?  Well, it’s the same on my Twitter account and even my blog.  There are many ways that the people who control those social media platforms, apparently low-level people, can suppress the algorithm to your material for search engines, which many people know about.  But they can also tamper with social media counting, such as viewing results, followers, subscribers, and how your overall reach reaches.  To get a little sample of what I’m talking about, look at the views on my Rumble account videos compared to my YouTube account, and you will see what I’m talking about.  I see one set of numbers on my blog on my administrative page.  But on the display page, it’s a much-suppressed number.  Occasionally, when the software that the social media companies are updating and their algorithm scanning software is on pause, I get an accurate picture of how many people visit my sites.  That’s when I usually take a photo to validate the results.  But to put it mildly, the bad guys control the internet, let people see what they decide, and manage the transaction.  That is the purpose of the internet: more power, not more freedom.  And that game plan was never more evident than on January 20th, 2021, when the world of media, on all fronts, tried to make President Trump, the guy who just spent four years in the White House leading the free world, a “nonperson,” as Rupert Murdoch at Fox News clearly stated.  They were in control, and anybody they wanted to target they felt they could paint out of existence. 

The payback will be harsh, as it should be

In reaction to it, I was looking over my shoulder a lot.  There were a lot of shadowy characters popping into my life, and I was prepared to have a shootout with those hostile forces at any moment.  The crackdown was in full effect, and I was indeed a target.  My wife and I hooked up our RV and headed for the deserts of New Mexico to get things straight.  It was probably one of the best decisions in life that I have ever made.  There, I finished my book The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business and figured out what to do next.  And in the following months, the resistance movement against these tyrannical, election-stealing terrorists in the White House was taking shape.  Trump wouldn’t allow some third party to control his next campaign or the freedom movement in general.  As many others did, we would create our own social media companies and turn the tables on the bad guys.   And it would be painful for them. 

https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/110956433200421966

I still watch and listen to everyone, even the bad guys on cable news, like MSNBC and corporate-run talk radio, just to understand what those idiots think. Most of my information comes from the live streams on Gettr. And once President Trump started Truth Social, I was among the first accepted accounts. And there is quite a lot to that story, too. I have had a lot of trouble with Truth Social, but it is not their fault. But there has been a lot of tampering that has locked my account many times. But, the social media element has undoubtedly forced the entire industry to change. Under Elon Musk, I have given Twitter a bit of a chance. It’s better. My account shows few social media impressions because it is so heavily shadow-banned. But I routinely get many tens of thousands of views when I comment on an account that isn’t so heavily shadow-banned, which is very effective. Social media, like their communist partners in China and the World Economic Forum, will let a few controlled people present the appearance of free speech. But the hostile anti-free speech people try to suppress them in every way possible. Truth Social was the first to break that wall down brick by brick, and it was brilliant of President Trump to utilize. Ultimately, it will likely be what won the war because it took the clamps off free speech and forced the alternatives to adjust their approach. And it broke the model of tyranny behind the creation of the Internet. As a result, the message of Trump and the rest of us can get out to others, and the government and the hostile agents that control our government now cannot stop people from hearing other opinions. And the planned communism that was always part of the Internet plan is falling apart. Truth Social opened the door to Free Speech on the Internet because it was the home of the most famous person on earth. And that pressure may save the world yet.

A Conversation with My Mom: Understanding the Cult of Trump

It was an easy answer that had been coming up more frequently, especially with the Trump indictments by a corrupt legal system run by a crime boss in Joe Biden, who was only in power because of a stolen election. And the thugs were showing that they were in charge, but they were mystified as to why so many people still supported Trump. They had not thought that to be the case. Instead, they expected submission, groveling, and fear from the Trump supporters. Even as they distributed a mugshot of a former president to show their power over him and much of his former staff. We saw a coup by Marxist insurgents, just like Lenin, Mao, or Castro in Cuba. This happened in the United States, and they thought they had it all figured out. Yet, instead, they didn’t understand why Trump was getting more popular, and nobody seemed able to explain it, even the Trump supporters. But the issue became very clear as I visited my elderly mom in the hospital. We were having one of those life-flashing-before-her-eyes discussions as if checking the validity of everything’s worth. From issues when she was a little girl that were coming back to her very fluidly. To things that happened just yesterday. And in her condition, she had been telling all the nurses who were tending to her about some of my very violent past because it was on her mind, and we were talking about it in a way we never had before. Life moved quickly, and there hadn’t been time to catch up, at least for me. She felt she had done something wrong, producing a person like me who was so angry that many people outright hated. She came from the Happy Days generation, where people measured success by how many people liked them. Not me. She didn’t understand why I needed to carry a gun everywhere. She said to me, “Maybe if you just did what you were told, so many people wouldn’t be after you,” she said.

Vote for Trump to fight Marxism

We reflected on many stories, but the one she had told the nurses was one where I was involved in a large fight where many people were killed in the process.  As we reflected, only a few were still alive out of all the people involved.  She was upset that I was so proud of that incident.  She felt guilt about it while I took great pride in it, and that was the core of the problem and why we hadn’t talked about it over all these years.  But that wasn’t the only issue.  I reminded her of the first grade when I poked the school bully in the eye with my scissors.  He was picking on somebody. I had stepped in to stop it, and a fight ensued in class.  He was a really big kid, and everyone was terrified of him.  So, knowing he was dangerous, I fought him that way and stabbed him in the eye with my scissors.  I got into a lot of trouble.  Another time, I was on the school bus.  I always rode in the back, as far away from the figures of authority as possible.  But that was always where the kids who did terrible things sat, and I witnessed many bad things.  One day, they were doing drugs, sharing apparent stimulant pills, and they tried to force me to take one.  I threw it out the window, as I have never taken any drugs, ever in my life.  And I felt very strongly about it even back then.  A huge fight ensued, many of them against me, and many people got hurt, some of them badly.  I got into a lot of trouble.  A lot of trouble.

I don’t sit around thinking about it, but I had dozens and dozens of those kinds of stories, and as my mom reflected on them like older adults do as they are trying to work things out about their own lives, I just let her talk.  But up to that point, I am not a sit-down-and-talk-about-it person.  I keep the throttle down pretty hard, and I like things to go fast.  Not that I’m trying to outrun my past.  I don’t like getting stuck thinking about it because I see it as a waste of time.  But visiting her in that condition it was on her mind, and she felt like she had done something wrong to have such a socially ostracized kid, and she was being hard on herself for all the death and mayhem that was in the wake of it all.  Then, telling her how proud I was of my life was too much.  Yet she had said something that explained the current situation with Trump and the Marxists, who were essentially trying to take over the American government, and why there was such a lack of understanding about the whole issue.  The theme of my life was pretty easy to sum up: resisting anybody who wanted to control my life in some way. I have had the unique circumstance of never being beaten into any submission.  But from my mom’s point of view, she felt that I would have had a much easier life if I had just done what people told me to do.  But I didn’t want an easy life.  I enjoyed the violence.  I enjoyed the heartbreak.  I liked the pain.  Because I wanted more than anything to be free, free as a person to think what I wanted when I wanted to.  So, to me, all those horrible things were good, and I was proud to now reflect on them, knowing what I had to do to arrive at this moment.  On the other hand, she valued safety as the primary criterion of goodness, and because of that, she felt like she had failed. 

Not all Americans had my experience.  Many, at some point in their lives, had taken that pill to keep from being beaten up.  Or they avoided stabbing a bully in the eye because they were afraid to hurt the other person, so they ended up getting beaten up themselves.  And they said yes to the pushing and shoving against them, where a long history of dead bodies didn’t populate their past.  It costs a lot to resist the bullies in life, and there are many of them, and most people do not feel as strongly as I do about it.  But their inner rebel does come out when it comes to Trump.  And secretly, they support that he has been so strong as their representative, and where the Marxist insurgents expected to bully people and have them fold up like cheap lawn chairs, people have continued to support Trump, and that support has increased with each new indictment.  As I answered my mom, appeasing the bad guys does not improve life.  I’d instead carry a gun like I do now everywhere, knowing that lots of people would love to kill me.  That was her fear: if you, just for once in your life, would appease all those bad people, maybe they’d leave you alone.  But no, they never leave you alone.  All they understand is force, and in my way, I have fought very hard with lots of casualties along the way to maintain my freedom.  And now, I was watching the nation of America waking up to that same sentiment.  And I think it’s good, and about time.  Better late than never, but I can certainly say that I understand it fully.  And what’s to come quite well.

The Arrest of Trump in Georgia: It’s all about saving Marxism from a second term of a very popular and successful president.

The critical thing to know, especially about this latest indictment where they are taking mug shots of the people they are prosecuting in Fulton County, Georgia, and passing them around showing power over the people, is that this is not an exercise in law and order. It’s purely a display of how Marxism has moved in and taken control of local prosecutors, and it’s an overt attempt to destroy the American Constitution in all the ways that communists have always wanted. America was never a racist nation, but now you can see clearly what the strategy has been all along, not just in one place. These communist prosecutors reveal the plan from the beginning: to infiltrate communities of color with Marxism and undermine our society behind a mask of racism. And that is certainly the case in Georgia with Fani Willis, who has obvious ties to Marxist groups. This is an assault on American justice, not a result of it. It’s the culmination of what Saul Alinsky wanted to perform after all that he learned from Al Capone’s mob for the Democrat party early in the last century—using communities of color to usher Marxism in ways that would never occur naturally. They are disguised as something else to force acceptance of such a hostile political mechanism. Nothing about these prosecutions has justice in mind or the preservation of the American way of life. The intention is 100% hostility, and now that there is a global communist push and all these types of people have been put in place by people like George Soros, they are making their move. They always intended to abuse their power, and now it’s on ostentatious display. What they are trying to do to people like Trump is no different than when Lenin took over the radicals in St. Petersburg and overthrew the Russians with a minority of the population into a communist state. They attempt to do the same thing, using people of color as their mask for their real intentions.

My man, Rudy, when these guys hate you, you are one of the good guys.

This didn’t just happen. And it’s not Trump’s fault. Trump has been the people’s pick to say no to this invasion, even if the attack has come in a form that most people don’t recognize as an attack. When we say “attack,” we think of tanks, troops, and airplanes. This is a military attack by hostile foreign invaders; only the effort is hidden behind the intentions of the World Economic Forum and their investors of billions of dollars into communities of color, which have been happening for decades. And it certainly goes back to the start of Barack Obama’s political career in the living room of a known American terrorist, Bill Ayers in Chicago, with his partner in crime, Bernadean Dorn from the Weather Underground. They were known terrorists who had been caught in the act, but they had Marxist sympathizers who propped them to the top of political circles, and they have been trying to undo America since their pot-smoking sixties as the insurgents that they were. Barack Obama’s entire presidency was meant to undo America, and he is still working in the background, just as those old Weather Underground terrorists are to this very day. It’s not an accident that all these prosecutions of Trump are coming from communities of color as if local prosecutors and their charges against a President of the United States will hold up in the Supreme Court. They don’t care because their entire effort is terrorism from Marxist radicals meant to disrupt the election of 2024, no matter what they must do. Even with more than 100 indictments against Trump, the conviction of any of them is not their goal. It’s all about trying to stop Trump and his supporters with their support of capitalism as an economic value.

It’s the same attack Bill Ayers and his wife used against America as kids. It’s the one that was behind the election of Barack Obama. Obama always had problems with his birth certificate and other background elements, which we were never supposed to look at because he hid his Marxist terrorism behind the mask of racism. They made his candidacy all about proving that America was not a racist nation, and they accused because it was always Republicans who freed the enslaved people who moved the country toward an open society. Who stood for justice for all. The Marxist radicals who had infiltrated all the college campuses sought to erode the nation’s foundations with phony attacks of racism, which they used as a military attack. And it has been going on so long that people can’t remember when that wasn’t the discussion. The tension is not normal; these Marxist groups have provoked it. Many people of color support President Trump; these groups have attacked them. So, it was never about race. It was about forcing Americans to accept Marxism into their communities and the eventual erosion of the Constitution, which was always their target. It was never about race relations but about exploiting them to attack the nature of American society in favor of Marxist insurgents.

When criminals seize power

And those elements of society who hide in the background, as Obama is still whispering in the ear of many radicals working in the FBI, CIA, and other Beltway partners who all want the same thing: more centralized control, more communism that gives more power to the government so they can do precisely what they have been doing to innocent people in Fulton County, Georgia. They fear a second Trump term because it would destroy all their Marxist efforts. During his previous time, Trump stated that America would never be a communist nation. There were lots of people in on the 2020 election steal and for a whole lot of reasons. But lingering in the background was this fear of communism being pushed out of America for good by a populist president. Of course, they went to their terrorism playbook and devised the phony COVID protocols meant to force Marxism onto people hidden as health advice. Or ballot harvesting behind made-up COVID rules to allow cheats to occur in Marxist-controlled big cities, such as Philadelphia, Detroit, Milwaukee, and Atlanta. These are not typical American cities; these are areas controlled by Marxist policies hidden behind the politics of skin color, just as Obama’s entire political efforts were. They were never interested in uniting as a nation. They meant to divide and destroy America. They don’t want the preservation of America in any way. They intend to overthrow it. And they have shown now for all to see what they have been up to. And they are way beyond the point of no return. These arrests of Trump supporters and Trump himself have nothing to do with justice. But everything to do with Marxist domination over our judicial culture, and they are using that acquired power to their full effect while they still can because, for their survival, they must stop Trump in any way possible. And all the areas they have controlled, through politics, the media, and the legal system, are being exposed now in their hatred of Trump. What was once hidden behind the mask of racism is now revealed for all to see. And for many, it is scary how much penetration into our culture that these Marxists have been able to utilize. But it was always the case. Only now, people can see it for themselves, and Trump is their only way to normalcy.

Love Trump, I’m with him completely

Trump is the Hand of God on Earth: The long fight against the prosecution of free people is finally coming to a climax

This persecution of Trump is not a new thing in the world.  It always happens when dynamic challenges confront stagnant orders.  The most obvious example is when Christ was persecuted and killed for his challenges to the static order of the day.  But we could say the same thing of Joseph, son of Jacob, whom God had renamed Israel.  Or the Apostle Paul, who was killed by the Romans who continued the preaching of Christ around the Mediterranean to the point where they killed him.  Or even Socrates was killed in Greek society for corrupting the youth with his words.  People being killed for challenging a static order filled with corruption is the story of the human race, and President Trump is the most modern example.  It’s not unusual for what is happening to him to be happening to someone who is a challenge to the established order.  The only real difference is that most of these occur regionally, but the Trump case is genuinely global.  And the process is always the same, made-up charges, weaponization of the legal system, and the implementation of a death penalty.  That is what Democrats are out for in America, but more than that, much of the world is rooted in communism, socialism, and all elements of general globalism.  Trump is a threat to that order, so the powers that have been corrupting our lives in the background are showing their presence by coming out against Trump.  Trump is the most famous person on Earth and is prepared to handle this prosecution, as they have always been looming in our lives in terrible ways.  Yet what’s different this time is that someone like him is coming out of America to challenge the world in ways they never have before.  This time, as opposed to all the biblical and historical figures, there is an assumption that Trump has a right to challenge those forces, making the panic ever deeper.

It’s not just that Trump is having all these grave injustices done to him, such as the arrest in Georgia for doing nothing but trying to run for office again.  I have said it often, the anger is that the established order has been picking our representatives for us for years, and Trump is truly a representative of the people.  They know Joe Biden didn’t get 81 million votes.  They knew they cheated in that election.  They know what they did during Covid.  They know what they are doing in Ukraine and many other places.  And they are being caught.  And their only option is this desperate prosecution of Trump, just as many have been destroyed as they emerged in history.  I particularly like the story of Joseph, the favorite son of Jacob whom his brothers sold into slavery in Egypt.  He was jailed for several years and essentially sentenced to death.  But Joseph had a particular skill, interpreting dreams, and he did rise to the top of Egyptian society under the care of Pharaoh, who had come to love Joseph.  And the tables were turned on the brothers, and the people of Israel flourished until the next pharaoh found them a threat to his power.  That’s the motivation behind most of these classic stories.  Threats to power must be destroyed.  This time is no different, only now it is the efforts of globalism for communist domination of the entire planet that is at stake.  And Trump and his first term scared that power to its very foundations.  And we are witnessing how scared they are by what they are doing to prosecute Trump and his supporters in obvious ways.  I see Trump, as I have now for a long time, as an instrument of God to destroy these powers and that much of what we are witnessing is a divine history meant to kill that vast evil on earth.

And why not, why not Trump, out of all people?  I think a look at Trump’s life now, in hindsight, makes a lot of sense.  He had great success in enduring what is happening now, to have the personal resources not to be like John the Baptist and be arrested for the pleasure of the powers ruling the day.  Trump is too big to stop and throw in jail to rot away until some wealthy socialite pleads for the head of the cousin of Jesus to be presented to her for all the vanity that evil would bathe in.  Trump isn’t perfect; he’s on his third marriage and has made many mistakes.  But then again, remember King David, who wanted to sleep with a woman who caught his eye, so he sent her husband to war to kill him so he could be with her.  Or what about King Soloman, who had so many wives, many of them worshipers of Baal?  God seems to shake his head at these shortcomings but forgives them so long as the primary objective is fulfilled.  And Trump fits in perfectly with these historical characters.  But this one is different because it’s global, and it is happening under the American assumption of free speech, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights that protects our society from such incriminations.  The communist globalists, of course, want to destroy the American way of life and the laws of the Constitution, making Trump the most crucial element to that preservation that has ever appeared on earth.  

Recently I couldn’t help but draw the comparison after Season Two of Chosen, where Jesus was having his famous Sermon on the Mount.  It reminded me of a Trump rally.  Of course, the popular show Chosen is a modern interpretation of a scriptural story of significance, and the current Trump rallies might have influenced the director.  But it indicates how this story of human need is as old as time.  When people see that someone is breaking down the static order that is suppressing them, which Jesus was doing, by the hand of God himself, they will crawl through broken glass for that person to shatter that suppressive static order.  And we know that because of the events that occurred over the next 2000 years.  We can see the hand of God at work again on a grand scale, not just a persecution for a speech given at the Sea of Galilee, but the words of Trump have reached every corner of Earth.  And just as the powerful forces of Roman society watched Jesus’ speech with fear at the power being displayed, we are watching that same persecution unleashed yet again.  But this time, we aren’t talking about Christ being crucified, Socrates being poisoned, Joseph being sold into slavery and killed in prison, or John the Baptist having his head cut off.  This time Trump is running for president to gain control of the free world as our direct representative, and he is too big of a personality to be prosecuted.  The public wants him to represent them on the world stage.  And it’s beautiful to watch.  The reason for America being created in the context of history is to unleash a person like Trump onto the world to destroy these tyrannical elements once and for all.  We had to have a fight because we have always had it.  Only this time, we have a country in America that expects to win, not for the forces of darkness to prevail.  Because Trump is just the right personality for this task at hand, and it’s wonderful to see and witness such a historical moment that thousands of years have been building up to this precise culmination.

Covid Part 2 is Coming: Government is desperate to protect 2030 objectives and they don’t care who gets hurt in that process

You must understand what’s at stake here to grasp why Covid is coming back, these radical communists and socialists throughout the world have set gigantic social targets for the year 2030, and the re-election of Trump in 2024 will destroy those plans.  So, they will do everything to stop him, including returning to the playbook that worked before, releasing another version of Covid from one of the many bioweapon labs around the world, as they did in 2020.  But this one will be deadlier because the criticism from the first time was that Covid wasn’t deadly enough.  So, this one will kill more people, and they will do it because they got away with it before, four years ago.  That’s right, Covid, as I have said repeatably since that time, was a manufactured crisis, which the government seems to be doing a lot these days.  It was a “plandemic” not some act of nature.  These are bioweapons by a hostile regime of global communists who will do anything to get power and stay in control.  Anything.  And they’ve thrown everything at President Trump to stop him from running for President Again, and he keeps getting more popular, and they are in a bit of a panic now.  Joe Biden is just their representative in the White House.  He will do whatever they say, but Joe Biden is not in charge.  The script has already been written and leaked from several government sources.  Covid is coming back because they have no other choice, and it’s coming in September of 2023.  And by December of 2023, ahead of the election year, just as it was done in 2020, there will be new lockdowns and isolation rules much worse than before because it’s their only chess move, and you can bet they will make it, no matter who dies in the process.  These people should have been punished after what they did in 2020, but they weren’t.  And now that they got away with it, they are coming back.

Alex Jones has a reputation as a conspiracy theorist, but he’s often very right when he says something; it comes true eventually. I explain Alex Jones and myself, for that matter, with Robert Persig’s concept of the “Metaphysics of Quality.” Some people in life, the best leaders for that part, are those making decisions in the front of the train. But most people like to make decisions in the back of the train, where it’s safe. To justify why they are too chicken to live at the front, they call those who aren’t afraid conspiracy theorists to explain their cowardness. It’s a psychological problem, not an indicator of truth. So even though people might not like the big-time wrestling type of delivery that Alex Jones does when reporting the news, that doesn’t make his content any less relevant. And he has been told by a TSA contact that he has, as well as others, that the timeline for the Covid protocols has already been floated down through the ranks as led by the Biden administration. At the same time, these reports hit the marketplace, it was reported that the Biden administration will gear up for a return to the vaccine policies in September. Consistent with the timeline released by the TSA agent. Like before, everything related to Covid, or whatever they call this one, has been preplanned and politically motivated. It has nothing to do with health or nature. It’s all about instilling global communism as it rolls out to the door of origin, the World Economic Forum. And Trump threatens their agenda, as do his supporters, who they know are a majority in America because they also know what they did to commit election fraud under the guise of Covid to steal that 2020 election. And they are willing to do it again.

For those involved with state legislatures who thought that Covid was never coming back, here it is, so they’ll have to start working to get in front of the story. Not to stop the virus. Like a nuclear bomb, it’s out once Covid is released as the bioweapon it is. People are going to be harmed, and they will die. There will be no social distancing to stop it. There will be no masking that will prevent the spread. The only thing that the masks will do is show submission to those who control the virus outbreak. And this will always be a danger until those people are punished. Until then, we’ll have to live our lives and prevent panicky governors like Mike DeWine in Ohio from trying to shut down our states again with ridiculous rules of voodoo science. The goal is to disrupt the election of 2024 just as they did in 2020 by keeping people home and using mail-in ballots because people would be unable to vote in person. These bad guys know there is no way they can keep Joe Biden in power unless they change how people vote. Too many people now understand how the election of 2020 was stolen, and that information is much talked about as more and more evidence is stacking up. Joe Biden and his family are in trouble with corruption. The economy is horrendously bad. There isn’t anything that the Biden team can claim a victory on going into a critical election year in which they have tried to stop their political rival, Trump, in every way but physical assassination by all the powers of government, and Trump is still poised to win most of the states if Democrats don’t get control of the election counting process. So, they are going all in on Covid as their 2024 strategy.

There are no plans to put Biden on the campaign trail.  He’s going to hide in his basement like they did before.  The media will do most of his heavy lifting, and they need an excuse why their old man can’t stay awake for more than a few hours a day, so Covid is their only option.  We never had free and fair elections, at least not in a modern sense, and now that people are waking up to that situation, the only way to control elections is behind a massive crisis, a manufactured bioweapon made in a lab with government money to keep the government in power.  And the World Health Organization is already printing the press releases using Covid Part 2 as that weapon.  So the most essential thing that can be done now is to take away centralized power from the health directors in the various states to keep the economy and people constitutionally free.  If there are court cases that need to happen to challenge state power, we need to be ready to launch them early instead of a year into it like last time, after so much destruction had already taken place.  The constitution is not suspended during a crisis; otherwise, the government will continue manufacturing a problem to perform illegal acts.  And going into 2024, that is the only way to approach it constitutionally.  People must be able to vote, and the vote counters must be monitored carefully.  And no amount of death and mayhem caused by these globalist powers, under World Health Organization communist crises management, can be allowed to alter that process because they fully intend to for their survival.  You have been warned, use it to your advantage.

Remember When Eddie Was Going to Marry Myrtle for $10 Million: How Larry Fink Bought up the whores of corporate America

The latest news about Best Buy intending not to hire any white managers falls under the term I like to use for these things, which is quite accurate, that they are latte-sipping prostitutes. And that is how Larry Fink and many others have managed to take over the world while everyone was sleeping. Or, to put it more accurately, doesn’t everyone remember the episode of Family Matters where Erkle’s relative Myrtle, the very ugly woman that her father was paying a groom 10 million dollars to marry, turned out to be a disaster? Yet Eddie, the person who was set to marry Myrtle because her father couldn’t find a husband for her any other way, because she was so ugly, declared that he had ethics and standards. That is until the father indicated the amount of money he’d be paid. Which he then said, “OK.” Ahhh, the power of easy money, the scam where the Federal Reserve printed a bunch of fake money based on Modern Monetary Theory through quantitative easing and dumped it into Wall Street to filter and distribute. People like Larry Fink at BlackRock, being the political activist he always wanted to be could then buy up majorities shares of stock and impose on those corporations liberal standards that nobody would ever vote for. Yet through the power of money and the tendency most people have toward whoredom, companies like Best Buy, and even Chick-fil-A will dance to the money that people like Fink control because, like Eddie, it’s all too tempting to take. And that is how the biggest scam of the modern world was born globally, and especially in the United States. Freedom sounds great until someone dangles a lot of money in front of your face, and at that point, like Eddie from Family Matters, financial security tends to make whores out of the people who think they have the utmost in integrity.

I have always been hard on the Latte Sipping Prostitutes that are so common in the world. I understand why Oliver Anthony has turned down the many record deals for his “Rich Men North of Richmond” song, which is currently making quite a splash across America. A corporate deal comes with strings. My wife and I have crossed that juncture many times, and every time we have turned away vast amounts of money to maintain our personal freedom. Freedom is more important to us than the cosmetic things that come from physical wealth. So, my opinion about people who sell out easily is rather harsh. Having something that people are willing to pay for is only part of the story. Maintaining personal freedom while making money is much, much harder. And those who sell out might make it big, but then they also end up with some boss like Larry Fink running their lives with political activism, which is far more common than you might think. When we talk about RINOs in politics, this is usually the cause of their condition. They want to be Republicans but end up compromised somewhere along the way. They have whored away their integrity and are no longer free to make their own decisions. So they have to bend the knee to some political radical, like Fink, who gained all his power through an alliance with the government to print fake money to have fake power, to do what government never could do on their own, and that is to use that fake money to make whores out of business titans and make them dance to the fingertips of corruption and malice. Most people are like Eddie in that Family Matters episode. They say they will never take the money until the money is in front of them. Then they take the money and sell away their freedom.

Biden is the distraction. The real villains hide in the background.

The next corporate trend will be the lessons learned from this time when so many people were suckered.  Eventually, in that Family Matters episode, Eddie’s girlfriend stops the wedding and prevents him from making a big mistake.  Perhaps in America, that is what Trump is doing for corporate America, saving it from a terrible marriage to the World Economic Forum.  Larry Fink has been Myrtle, the ugly woman that the dad, (the Fed) would pay anybody any amount of money to marry, only to give them ultimate control over every part of your life.  Including what color the members of management have to be.  Too many dumb CEOs took the easy money and sold out their companies to globalism concepts because it initially looked good.  But the catch was misery in losing control of their very lives to those paying them the money.  It’s not good to be a whore for money because people are too lazy to do things the old-fashioned way.  I don’t have much respect for people who sell out.  I never did, and I had plenty of opportunities to do so, including several chances last week.  The kind of money you could retire 20 times over with.  But then, to take the money, you lose all your freedom.  Freedom is far more important than just financial security.  Just like the whore could do lots of things to make money.  But selling your body just for someone else’s gratification is pretty lazy.  And that is exactly what most CEOs in the world today have been caught doing.  And the world is far worse for it.

The Best Buy story came and went; it wasn’t a very enticing story, because so many people are guilty of doing exactly the same thing.  Now that BlackRock owns so much majority share of corporate influence, what would their CEO do, complain to the press, the same press that has BlackRock owning most of their majority shares?  Most people have sold out to the easy money because they were too lazy to make money the old-fashioned way.  And through hostile corporate takeovers by BlackRock and others who received money from the Fed’s fake printing press, they did like Eddie and said yes to the dad.  “Yes, I’ll marry your ugly daughter for $10 million.”  For many, looking back on these last few years, I think they regret it.  There are a lot of Best Buys out there who might otherwise be bankrupt if not for BlackRock money propping them up to lead the corporate front with woke politics.  While the consumers shake their heads at the lunacy, the real villain has been the tendency of people in charge to whore themselves out so easily.  Which my term, I think, captures so accurately.  There are a lot of people who would gladly sip lattes at Starbucks and complain about their lives rather than to take proactive steps to make their lives better.  Easy money for them looks enticing, and it opens the door for the real scammers in the world, people like Larry Fink.  If people weren’t such whores, Larry wouldn’t have had so much easy success.  But he has, and they are, and that is why the world is the way it is.  However, I think there will be a lot more Oliver Anthony types in the future.  And far fewer Best Buys.  Truly the best measure of a good economy isn’t how strong the corporations are, built off phony wealth, but in their personal freedom to create upward mobility for their employees, incorporating the greatest personal freedoms.  The lessons have been tough, but perhaps we are finally at a point where we’ll have fewer whores running our economy and more integrity from those who see value in more than in printed goods or digital currency but in the quality of a life driven by freedom for the betterment of all.
