Lakota Fed Too Many Birds: The latest scheme to get rid of Darbi Boddy

It’s interesting how people behave or think that their sneaky plans might resonate within their bubble of a network. And how social media can give the illusion of a reality, such as this fascinating perspective from Skippy on this GOP posting regarding the Lakota school board member Darbi Boddy. There is a compelling strategy going on that is worth talking about, and what is essentially happening within the GOP in Butler County, which has made the apparent turn away from Trump, is a desperate desire to turn the party back into the centralist party that it was back in the John Kasich days, and when John Boehner was Speaker of the House, a local guy that people thought represented conservative values. All this has worked in the background to determine if Lynda O’Conner, the current school board president, should be endorsed by the GOP as she has before. But in her behavior against Darbi Boddy, a truly MAGA Republican Party representative, many Democrat-minded types are employing a new strategy to attack Darbi with the illusion that she doesn’t have public support. And if Skippy and the gang aren’t in your corner, then you are on the wrong side of politics. Yet it’s the same old shell game, and this time, what is going on is that the Lynda types who have behaved as a monstrous liberals wearing the mask of the GOP is turning all their problems against Darbi Boddy, problems they caused entirely on their own as a warning never to support someone like Darbi again, otherwise bad things will happen. Just to set the record straight the West Chester Tea Party has not endorsed Lynda; they personally called me to ensure me despite the community buzz to the contrary. Lynda has been a disaster on the Lakota school board. But for now, let’s stay on this exciting and diabolical scheme.

This kind of thinking causes so many problems, and why politicians never do what they should be doing.

Currently, many ex-employees from Lakota schools are planning big lawsuits against the district because it has been a “hostile” workplace, and they have had to leave, from their liberal perspective.  And the blame for a lot of this hostility is directed at Darbi Boddy, who has questioned a lot of embedded liberalisms at the government school, and they don’t like that she exists.   So the emerging plan is to sue the district, blame the school board, and settle the cases so that the perpetrators get paid, and the school board can then blame Darbi to rally fiscal conservatives against her to say, “look how much money she has cost the district.”  And while all that is going on, the political moderates who want their party back, the same kind of people pushing for Ron DeSantis and other alternatives to Trump, want their Republican Party back.  So, suppose the district gets sued for millions and millions of dollars, and the lawyers in the background are licking their lips as if they were about to eat a great steak. In that case, the blame can be placed on Darbi for resisting the natural order of things, which is to lay at the feet of the radical leftist teacher’s union and their diabolical schemes of doom emerging from the Democrat Party.  And many of those who were faking conservative values to get elected or stay in the political cool kid’s club are hungry to snap back to some moderate middle ground with outright Marxism tilting the measurement scale. 

Lakota could win most of its lawsuits, past and present. But they are too lazy and have other ideas that end up costing taxpayers enormous amounts of money.

I was recently out at the Grand Tetons in Wyoming, and they have a lot of signs everywhere warning not to feed the bears.  Those warnings are similar to the signs in many parks and public places warning not to feed the birds because if you do, they’ll get used to the easy food and flock toward people whenever they see them, making a general mess of things.  And the bears out in the Tetons start getting very aggressive when they see people, and they will attack, hoping they’ll get access to easy food.  Well, that is what the school board at Lakota has essentially done, they have a habit of settling lawsuits too quickly when they should go to court and fight it out, and the word is out among all the radicals that Lakota is an easy-pay day, so they are planning legal action based on that observation and the lawyers are all too happy to facilitate.  This is part of a larger legal lawfare strategy that is going on around the country, which is most evident in the Trump indictments.  The soft-shelled Republicans see this trend as a way to get rid of a much more conservative representative on the school board and to warn the community not to vote for them anymore because they cost so much money in the community.  And, of course, liberals are always looking for an easy-to-exploit taxpayer scheme for social cases that advance their radical leftist agenda.  So suddenly, all these people are focused on getting Darbi the same way that the same maniacal characters are trying to get Trump.  You don’t see a lot of GOP leadership fighting to prosecute Democrats like Democrats are charging Trump.  That’s because they are all friends, just as they are in a local community like Lakota.  It’s all a scam, and the taxpayers are the undeserved political pawns. 

Of course, someone had to stand up to the baked-in progressive radicalism in the government school of Lakota, and Darbi has been that person, thankfully.  This strategy of going after school boards that do not lay down at the feet of raging Democrats within the teacher’s union will become a national trend.  We are only seeing it so early in Lakota because the GOP, in many respects, has joined the Democrats in their joint hatred of Darbi and the more significant MAGA movement that they hope dies before the 2024 election.  So with Lakota having a reputation for easy payouts, of course, all the disjointed types of ex-employees see an opportunity to sue the district, get a lot of money, and the board can publicly blame Darbi.  But the real cause of the problem was that the school board fed too many birds, and now they are flocking around dumping excrement on everything looking for easy money.  And that comes from incompetence; this school board seeks legal advice for everything, which costs money.  Yes, the lawyers have gotten very wealthy off the Lakota taxpayers.  It’s not because of Darbi.  It’s because the school board lacks the intellect to think for themselves, and they throw lawyers at all the radical behavior the teacher’s union throws at them.  And the only method they utilize to deal with political pressure from the Marxists is legal advice and legal settlements.  Anyway that doesn’t involve complete compliance to the radicals will result in hostile legal action, as we see at Lakota, not because of the merit of the cases but because they know the GOP has not stood behind Darbi the way they should have, and their endorsed candidate in Lynda O’Conner has led the way, their goal is to pay out the settlements, throw Darbi under the bus, then go to the taxpayers with a tax increase hoping the public never votes for someone like Darbi ever again.  But as usual, all these characters are not reading the political tea leaves correctly, which will make for an exciting future for everyone.  Essentially, they didn’t listen and fed the birds when they shouldn’t have, making a real mess of things in the process, and we have what we do now.

As Usual, People Trusted Government and They Lost Their Lives: The Marxism behind the Lahaina wildfire

I’m proud of the people regarding the terrible fire in Lahaina, Hawaii, on the island of Maui during the summer of 2023.  Early in learning why a raging fire broke out that destroyed the entire town and so far killed entire families, with over 500 people wiped away from their lives, credible people were sharing videos of some beam weapon that was igniting the fire, aggravating its spread.  So from moment one, many people were not falling for the narrative that a raging fire had just burst out and destroyed the entire town.  The sirens didn’t go off because the government official feared that people might be scared and run into the fire in the hills surrounding the city.  And the loser in charge of the water to fight the fire was afraid that he might upset the “water spirit” by using it for such a catastrophic event.  Virtually everything about the Lahaina fire that destroyed the entire town resulted from some government pinhead and stupidity, and people have learned from Covid not to trust the experts.  Because the experts are usually bought and paid for and serve other kinds of powers, such as the World Economic Forum.  Immediately people assumed that the fire had been started by some nefarious characters who wanted the town for some other purpose, which obviously would be revealed in who did what with the land in the aftermath.  Bill Gates had a house near that location that wasn’t touched by fire, and people noticed it.  People were asking the right questions in the devastating aftermath, where we are today.  We should expect to be lied to by an incompetent government.  And when there are major disasters like this one, we should look for who profits from the demise because there is probably something to it.

But at the very least, conspiracies about motivation are not needed here.  Asking hard questions is healthy, and the answers are likely harder to digest.  But we know that significant incompetence was on full display, which is the most dangerous aspect of the fire and the government meant to protect the town’s people.  We live in a time where the experiment of the Administrative State, as much as we might complain about it when they are slow to get us a check from our tax returns or answer our complaints about some service they are in charge of, has failed and failed to the point where they are just openly dangerous.  There isn’t much of a core competency we can trust about an administrative state government and its slow-minded, lazy employees.  This is a shame, but it’s a glaring reality in 2023.  It always was to a large degree, but this is different.  People seem finally ready to admit that they’ll never hear from the government, “I’m here to help.”  Instead, they’ll hear, “I’m on my lunch break, I’m working from home because of Covid,” or “I want more money to sit around and do less work.”  The liberal playbook of Marxist environmentalism is doing the same thing to power companies worldwide.  In my state of Ohio, I have talked explicitly about the FirstEnergy problem, where radical politics has attacked any politician who has tried to have a relationship with them.  The radicals want to get rid of nuclear energy and are trying to put that power company out of business and force them to say uncle with renewables, solar, and wind.  And that looks to be the same kind of case at this massive fire in Hawaii.

The experts, the same kind of experts who told us not to take Ivermectin to treat Covid, which turned out to be disastrously lousy advice, have indicated that the electric company in Hawaii may have had poor infrastructure and that a spark arch might have been the cause of the fire.  And as bad as that sounds, if it’s true, then the reason is even worse because it’s evident that the operational money that should have been going into improving their grid was instead going into the hole of renewable energy because the tentacles of liberal climate science are all over this catastrophe.  They caused problems, and once there was an emergency, they failed to warn people of the danger or give them the tools to fight the fire.  The evidence points to a new kind of warfare where the government can completely manipulate circumstances to fit the desires of their fundraising needs.  Suppose a wealthy donor wants instant oceanfront property for some nefarious reason. In that case, the government can burn down an entire town using the justification of green energy to displace everyone so that they can destroy the property, sell it to some investor for dirt cheap and blame it on some excuse created by the minds of a bureaucratic administrative state as the cover fire for lawsuits.  And nobody will ever figure it out, “they think,” because everyone is too busy trying to get a good ESG score to notice.  Rather than providing good power to the needs of the people, this power company in Lahaina, Hawaii, was more concerned with environmental compliance than the needs of the people they were supposed to serve, and the results have been devastating. 

In every layer of the failure, from the power company to the government agencies in charge of crisis management, we see that cultural Marxism, with various degrees of communism and socialism sprinkled throughout the Administrative State, can be traced to bad centralized policy that does not serve people.  It has made people victims of it, not benefactors.  And when people die due to the government’s actions, immediately the narrative from the media is to underreport the crises deliberately.  Who needs conspiracy theories when it’s so overtly apparent that the government, a collective body of lazy, liberal employees, is just dumb?  That the cause of the fire was dumbness, whether nefarious or accidental.  The wrong ideas persuading the bad economic objectives put the people of Lahaina, Hawaii, in danger and destroyed many lives.  We live in a time when we can’t even trust the water meter reader.  That government activism destroys an affordable kilowatt hour by power companies because they are more worried about appeasing Larry Fink at BlackRock and their environmental terrorism.  When you give dumb, lazy people as much power as this modern age of government official working for an incompetent administrative state has, their mistakes will be deadly, and the aftermath catastrophic.  Like everything that the government touches, disaster follows in its wake, whether it’s the teaching of kids in government schools, to the license bureau; listening to the authorities is an excellent way to get killed and lose everything you’ve spent a lifetime trying to build.  Governments and their Marxist sensibilities are destroyers and certainly do not have anybody’s best interests as their priority, which was never more evident than in the aftermath of the Lahaina, Hawaii fire.  Aside from any nefarious World Economic Forum intentions, the real problem was incompetence and having the wrong people in bad positions to make all the wrong decisions. Purposeful or not, the results were a disaster for innocent people who were guilty of trusting the government too much and have now paid for it with their lives.

Vote No on Recreational Marijuana in Ohio on November 7th: The world needs more shepherds, not more dope smoking sheep

There are few things I hate in the world as much as pot, so now that recreational marijuana will be on the ballot for the November 7th election, 2023, I will be an emphatic NO.  I’m against marijuana use in every way possible, especially recreationally.  I don’t care if you can make a rope out of it or clothes.  Marijuana is a horrendous drug.  I have about a third of my family members who either have used it or are using it.  Some for medical reasons because they have chronic pain, and my answer to them is all the same.  My relationship ends with them once they use it, which has been the case no matter who they were.  There are many things I can overlook, personal failures that I can sympathize with.  But the purposeful destruction of a mind is not one of them.  I have always been in the camp of capital punishment for drug dealers, even if small quantities might end up in the hands of kids.  But even further than that, I also feel that way about users.  Marijuana is a poison intended to decrease how a brain works and is detrimental to the human race.  I don’t care how natural it is. I’ve heard all the excuses about it making people “mellow.”  That the Indians used it and that its nature’s way of chilling out the world.  No thanks.  It didn’t help the Indians very much, and for what it did to them, bad people today want to do to the United States, which is the ultimate goal behind the mass destruction of America by its enemies.  The drug culture was a purposeful poison introduced to our country because nobody wanted to fight us on the battlefield after World War II.  So they plotted to ruin the minds of the youth, and the results are what we see today, several generations of people compromised by the drug.

I’ve never been a “libertarian,” a do-what-you-want-at-all-cost kind of guy.  I’ve always been a slave-destroying Republican promoting capitalist economies and an intellectual society smart enough to vote.  This live-and-let-live crap is for the birds.  If I smell marijuana, I get furious, even if it’s in my backyard.  I have gone to war, which is well chronicled in many courtrooms, police reports, and mayor’s offices over the last thirty years, and my thoughts on pot have never wavered.  I suppose my hatred of marijuana started in school as I watched kids in the back of the bus pass joints around.  It made them look stupid, and they were glad of it.  Then I saw a few Cheech and Chong movies which they seemed to want to copy, and I didn’t think they were funny in the slightest.  My earliest thoughts on pot are that it was a weapon given to American culture to poison it, and my observations have proven this to be the case over time.   I’m not unrealistic about marijuana; trying to find people who feel the same way I do about it is about as realistic as looking for a virgin in a whorehouse.  Just about everyone has at least tried it once or used it at a time in their lives.  Depending on what’s going on with people, they may come and go in their use of it.  The result is that most people don’t have strong opinions against it because they can’t afford to.  Well, I can.  I’ve never used it.  I have been in many bloody fights over it and was successful.  And I’m not changing my opinion about it now.  Once I find out that someone uses pot, they are dead to me, no matter who they are.

Marijuana is a poison meant to rob people of their intellect, and I would go as far as to say that it has no redeeming value.  Humans are supposed to be thinking creatures with dominion over nature.  Not a bunch of slack-jawed hippies stoned at a music festival.  Recreational marijuana use is an appalling concept.  If it doesn’t pass this time, it likely will in the future because many people out there are too weak to stand up to its temptations.  But there is nothing good about intoxication, not even with alcohol or prescription drugs.   And as I told a family member a few weeks ago, you don’t take marijuana under any circumstances; I don’t care how much pain you are in.  You fight through the pain and preserve your intellect.  I don’t care if marijuana is in a vaping condition or a little pill; you never take it.  It is a weapon of war against human civilization and was always meant to be that way.  I have lost many friends over my opinions about marijuana and am glad to have lost them.  I had some really close friends with whom I had gone through a lot when I was younger.  I went out to a movie, and when I returned to my apartment, I smelled pot in my bedroom, where I had a little parakeet bird.  While I was gone, they had tried to get the little bird stoned.  I moved out and never spoke to any of them ever again.  That is just one example.  Many similar situations go back to my essential hatred as a kid in watching how stupid people behaved when they used it and how it was a celebration of a lack of intellect.

I don’t care if Shakesphere smoked dope or Albert Einstein.  It doesn’t matter who it is; if they smoke dope and advocate for marijuana in any way, medicinally, recreationally, or historically, they are dead to me.  I have been let down by just about everyone in my life at some point over pot, and I’ve heard it often; maybe the problem is me.  Do you want to be the only one with such strong opinions?  Well, the answer is yes.  I would rather have nobody in my life and keep a strong intellect completely marijuana free than accept such a device to have a few worthless friends and family members.  Marijuana is the weapon of choice of people who want to control us, and they understand that using the drug lowers society’s IQ in general.  It slows down people and their thinking and makes them dumber.  And for me, that is the worst attribute any community could embrace.  So, I am a very emphatic no on recreational marijuana in Ohio.  I’m okay with that if I’m the only one who votes against it.  I will never accept pot in my culture and will work against it constantly.  Legalizing drugs, especially marijuana, is a race to the bottom by dumb people who want to hide their timidity in the collectivism of mass culture.  The more stoned people, the less guilty they feel for being diabolical losers.  That’s why they say, “Don’t judge.”  Well, I say, judge and judge often.  And don’t be a loser.  And the recreational use of marijuana is a choice to be dumb and to turn off your mind when the goal of existence is to think and create.  Marijuana is the opposite of those things, and once a state accepts it as a part of its culture, everything goes downhill. That is certainly the case for states that have already legalized it.  You can tell the moment you cross over their borders.  It would be terrible for Ohio, especially when companies have to deal with brain-dead employees who miss work too much and feel that they don’t have to pass a drug test to maintain employment.  Marijuana causes nothing but problems and should never be legalized in any way, shape, or form.  Anyone who advocates for marijuana consumption as a country, a state, or a personal right is attempting to destroy the consumer. The world needs more shepherds, not more sheep. And marijuana is for the sheep, those who would be herded to the slaughterhouse, which is just what the enemy wants.

Why I Have Not Been Cancel Cultured and Never Will Be: The Great flaw that the World Economic Forum never figured out

To answer a question that has been coming up a lot, especially these days, why I have yet to be cancel cultured out of existence is a good one.  Because it points to a fatal flaw in the World Economic Forum’s strategy for global domination, the foundations of that flaw were evident during and after Covid, and it is grotesquely apparent in the aftermath from all those who were suckered into believing what the Great Reset was aiming for their ridiculous “New Normal.”  Communism wasn’t going to be it, and they went all in on centralized control of everyone through the bureaucracy of the administrative state, and that fatal flaw was that they didn’t truly understand productivity.  They assume that everyone in the world is just as worthless as they are, as mindless bureaucrats who will do anything for a job because they don’t believe in the value of that job.  They feel they are given something, and their constant fear is that someone will figure out eventually that they don’t deserve that job, and that constant fear of that discovery drives them to do great evils in the world.  You’d be surprised how many CEOs of massive companies who make a lot of money feel that the rug could be pulled out from under them at any moment and that they might be homeless in the street with one swipe from their superiors in the World Economic Forum.  Those losers have gained so much power by exploiting this real fear in people who should know better.  This brings up the very relevant question, why don’t I worry about that kind of thing, and how have I managed not to be cancel cultured out of existence after all these years?  And the answer to that question is a good one that I’d like to see everyone understand because it is how you get true freedom in the world. 

Part of the reason that my answer might sound cliché is that the perpetrators of the fear want everyone to feel like such resistance is impossible, so they’ve stigmatized the obvious in the effort of mass social control.  But it’s all an illusion, mainly if you utilize the answer.  I don’t worry about cancel culture because the skills I have, precisely my best skill, is something that nobody gave me, so they can’t take it away.  Yet it’s something that the world wants desperately, and it always will.  Nobody at the World Economic Forum could ever stop people from enjoying what I can give them.  And that skill is that I make people around me better; I can continually improve their lives dramatically because I can read and utilize the fine art of subtly.  Most of the time, a problem, whatever it is, a psychological problem, a mechanical one, political, a narrative, a scientific one, have their answers concealed behind the subtlety of existence.  And if you can unlock that at will, you will find that you have a skill that people are always willing to pay for.  And they’ll pay for it in whatever currency they can give you.  This is one of the reasons that global forces want to control the money supply, so they can maintain how people get paid.  But there are many currencies out there, and you might say I am independently wealthy.  Not necessarily by physical money, but other currencies that matter much more, the kind of stuff that the IRS was never designed to measure.  And in that answer is the keys to freedom, which I have created in my life that nobody could ever take away, no matter how powerful they think they may be. 

That’s why I produce so much written content on this blog site for people for free.  I share my skill of reading subtlety because I can afford to.  Ultimately, I desire to make people better than they otherwise would be because I explain the real answers hidden behind subtlety for them.  I don’t personally get a lot out of the exchange, but I do like to see people live better lives, despite the forces that are trying to enslave them to the efforts of a liberal Administrative State and their communist intentions residing behind the entire endeavor.  For all the reasons that A.I. will never replace my particular writing style, because artificial intelligence will never be able to replace my ability to read subtlety in the world, there is no shortage of people behind the scenes who want what I have to offer, which is why I practically give it away for free.  I like to see people free, so I tell them how to be so.  But on all other matters, success in life, good relationships, an understanding of God and the afterlife, the mysteries of finance, history, psychology, legal practice, arts and entertainment, political philosophy, whatever the topic, there is always a hidden ingredient in subtlety that is just waiting to be discovered, which I see quickly, and can explain to people.  And for that reason, no matter the social conditions, there is always a long line at my door looking for my particular skill, which improves countless lives and always will.  I could have explained to the World Economic Forum the error of their ways three decades ago if they had listened, but they instead built their entire strategy on a false premise of production from day one, and they hoped to hide those flaws from themselves in subtlety, which they perpetually fear will be discovered, and exploited.  But of course, it’s too late for that. 

And that’s why I have never been cancel cultured and won’t be.  My life is not dependent on some loser to bring value to it or to decide that they’ll give me a job for which I should be eternally grateful.  I do many good things for many people that would otherwise be ruined by the mysteries of subtlety, where some of the worst people hide, hoping not to be exploited for the frauds they are.  But they fear most being discovered for the menace they present to the world, which makes it easy to conquer them, which I explain to countless people each week.  And to such an extent that I can afford to give away some of that good stuff for free to whoever wants to utilize it for their improvement.  I learned this skill of subtlety actually from an old samurai warrior in Japan many decades ago; it’s one of the nine ways of the samurai.  To understand the nature of all things as subtlety connects them.  And for access to that skill, my phone never stops ringing, and my email box is loaded with several hundred thousand messages on any given day.  And that will never go away.  There is no legal mechanism or a financial one that can stop it.  And I rather enjoy that leverage over the perpetrators of evil in the world and will continue to shower in the tears of my enemies because they fear subtlety and are haunted by it day and night.  And I’m not one to brag but to answer the question.  Why haven’t I been cancel cultured?  Well, I make people around me better.  The more people I’m around, the more improved they all will be.  And that is a skill that is most valued in the world by the needs of the human race.  Despite those who want to control those people for all kinds of malicious reasons but do not understand the subtle needs that people have, for which they will never have control.

The Fourth Trump Indictment: Remember when Mark Twain said, “If voting mattered, they wouldn’t let you do it”

At this point, the fourth indictment of President Trump into a Georgia prosecution of election tampering in Fulton County, which is Atlanta, run entirely by Democrats, is a joke.  As if the first one in New York wasn’t already.  The way to view this is in much the same way that Fidel Castro and his communist friends overran with force Cuba at gunpoint, and hostility to impose their will there.  Or the way Mao did in China.  Or Lenin did in Russia.  Or anywhere in the world where communism has been tried.  That is what is going on with these prosecutions of President Trump.  Trump said communism would never be in America, and they are targeting him aggressively, the factions of government that have already converted to socialism and communism, desperately, to remove him from politics for precisely that reason.  This is the new kind of civil war battle that modern warfare utilizes and the battlefield is the Bill of Rights.  The communists want to abolish the American Constitution and the concept of America in any form. At the same time, Trump Republicans want to preserve the nation’s sovereignty and end the communist plans.  This mess started with Barack Obama launching his political career in the living room of Bill Ayers, the Weather Underground terrorist, and his wife, Bernadean Dorn, and it is still Obama and his handlers of global communists who are moving the mouth of Joe Biden.  Trump is the peaceful resistance to these forces, and it’s wonderful that he’s willing to go through all this on our behalf.  He doesn’t need to, but because he is, this long-established communist plot to take over America is being revealed for seriousness that it never otherwise would have received. 

Trump will fight the law, and this time, he’ll win, and they will lose badly.

The Fulton County case from the very liberal activist there charging 18 Trump allies, including the President himself, over questions regarding election fraud that certainly did occur in that state during 2020 is a deliberate attack against First Amendment speech and is a desperate attempt by the communists to create caselaw that they can then use to gain control over mass society.  They know the case, like all of them will, be overturned in the Supreme Court, but their goals are purely desperate and short-term.  The intentions have certainly startled people into the level of activism that has always been present in these government positions.  This idea that a local prosecutor, in any case, will be able to reach into the presidency at the federal level and prosecute one-third of the government is preposterous.  But so were the communist takeovers in Cuba, China, and all other places in the world at gunpoint.  This judicial attack is no different, and it’s meant to be audacious.  They don’t care if it destroys America in the process; that is their long-term goal.  They have nothing to lose in all this because their goal is destruction.  Under the American system of law and order, the Constitution will win out in the Supreme Court, but this is just another leftist attack, a Cloward and Piven kind of thing, overwhelm, overcome, and destroy.  The political left has been doing these things since Russia infiltrated their party early in the last century, and the KGB was poisoning the minds of the youth on college campuses to destroy their parents’ country from the inside out.  These Georgia indictments are meant to upset conservatives and scare them into compliance.  It’s a page right out of the communist playbook that is now well-established in the world.  And they think it’s funny because they don’t expect anybody to punch them back.

I think it’s great because it shows what I have always said was there.  Out of desperation, the bad guys show their cards in ways political moderates and independents need to see.  I’ve been telling them for decades what was going on, and they didn’t want to believe it, including all these Ron DeSantis supporters.  Or anybody who thinks that Vivek Ramaswamy or Mike Pence has a shot.  It is funny to hear them talk on the campaign trail as if Joe Biden is some formidable opponent or that Democrats are a real opposition in American politics and that only they can win over independents in an election because President Trump is such a divisive figure.  Everyone, Trump won more votes than any other president in the history of elections in 2020.  And Joe Biden was given 81 million votes through massive election fraud.  Our government has been selecting presidents, not electing them by the people’s will.  The 2020 election reminds me of a famous Mark Twain quote.  I love Mark Twain quite a lot, “it’s not the voting that’s democracy, it’s the counting.”  Or “If voting mattered, they wouldn’t let you do it.”  These were risky endeavors in the time of Twain, and they certainly are today, with global communist insurgency being the goal of the World Economic Forum and their puppet president Biden, the criminal thug bought and paid for by the Chinese Communist Party.  I said to my wife as we watched coverage at the Fulton County courthouse that they wouldn’t release the documents until everyone went to bed, the same way they stole the 2020 election while everyone slept so that psychologically, the news would already have spread around the world and people would have to catch up to it the following day.  When we say the system is rigged, this is the kind of thing that we mean.  It’s predictable and occurred just as I said it would. 

The shock is good because it proves that people like Mark Twain were right to be skeptical of government and the acquisition of too much power.  Now that some of these people, like this prosecutor in Fulton County, Georgia, have abused their power behind what would typically be a polite façade, the public in general, the voting public, can see just how serious this situation has been for many years now, and can do something about it.  I think the Deep State has shown its cards out of desperation and that we can have a fair election if we take away their ability to cheat.  But, for most of our lifetimes, the heart of these cases being thrown at Trump and all of us is that they have always controlled our elections.  They never mattered, and now that 2020 happened, and these people have been caught cheating because the will of the people wanted Trump, they are turning to threats.  They never honored the American Constitution.  They were always intent on giving us communism, slowly.  And Trump has forced them to speed up that process.  And now they have shown their hand to the public a year before the next election, which is good.  It would always take something like these Trump indictments to wake people up.  He looks perfectly capable of handling the pressure.  In the long game, this essentially proves Mark Twain right in his skepticism about the Democratic voting process.  And what happens as a result of this will strengthen the country because it has awakened all those who were sleeping.  Then at least, we can all agree on something, and that is that we want to protect our vote because the government has come to think it’s in charge because they have controlled the voting outcomes for most of our country’s existence and they are losing that control now, with these Trump indictments.

Taxation is No Different from Human Sacrifice: Governments desire more than anything to be worshipped like gods from the past

There is a good reason that taxes should be viewed as evil.  We’re not talking about the maintenance of a government to do the work of its people that it represents. Instead, modern taxation has more in common with religious practices and pagan rituals than it does the practicality of a healthy society which should concern everyone.  When a government demands that you pay your fair share, they are demanding sacrifice to them in the ways that people sacrificed to the gods, hoping to win them over in some primitive way.  Because the government wants to be your god, they are jealous of the other gods you may worship because they desire to be all-powerful as a collective entity.  In that way, a government is not unlike the cells of a body that serve a single entity, working together without concern for individual input so that the collection is then worshiped as its god.  And the taxes you pay to it are like the goats and humans that societies would kill with blood offerings to appease the insatiable hunger of that god and its evil intentions.   The concept of taxation came from the same minds that used to sacrifice their first-born son to the alters of Moloch and Baal.  Or the farmer who would hire a prostitute in front of his wife to appease the sexual perversions of Ishtar, hoping that it might rain and that he could bring in his crops.  Taxation in the modern sense is no different, and it’s just as effective.  The progressive tax act of 1913 was a compulsory evil that forced all people to sacrifice their income to the gods of government or be punished, and it set America off in a disastrous direction.  It took several years for that disaster to be fully known, but the modern result has been nothing short of a destructive society that is no different from the superstitious stupidity of the Aztecs, or the Maya, cutting out the hearts of their victims to appease the god, Huitzilopochtli, the hummingbird god of Aztec culture.

We tend to think of the people of the world who built exotic temples for their gods only to kill their people in dedication to the gods’ hunger for blood and death as primitive.  And we might snicker at their ignorance just as we pay extraordinary amounts of our income to the taxation of our governments.  And the result is just as stupid.  In our modern sense, we have transferred the concept of god to government, and tax replaces human sacrifice for appeasement.  And just as Aztec culture in the reasonably recent past would sacrifice thousands of people to Huitzilopochtli in a single night to the point where the temple steps were slippery with blood, and the people being killed would mindlessly follow the obedience of the god’s desires, we pay taxes to the god of government with the same mind numb ambition.  And it wasn’t just pagan gods, but Yahweh himself who demanded quite sophisticated sacrifices, whether it was the firstborn son of a real wife in Isaac by Abraham, or the design of King Soloman’s temple to be oriented to the east, and the high priest would kill a well-prepared goat then carry it into the Holy of Holies to sprinkle it upon the Ark of the Covenant where the laws of Israel were placed to appease God in ways we might find barbaric today.  Yet when we receive communion, we receive at church the body and blood of Christ as offered at the Last Supper and before the son of God was killed in a crucifixion.  The idea of sacrifice to the gods is hard-wired into us, and the government has grown to exploit it and become a new evil. 

China certainly sees itself as a god; its government wants to be worshipped as the collective incarnation of a deity where all the people are to serve it.  It’s to the point where they don’t even want to acknowledge the gods of any previous civilization.  There is quite an effort by the Chinese government to deny its history and prevent people from reporting on it because it wants to be the exclusive god of modern people.  And like most gods, it’s a hungry one that demands the sacrifice of the things they value to appease its insatiable appetite.  And in many ways, the World Economic Forum has adopted this position as a modern manifestation of the ancient gods of Mesopotamia.  The gods of the cosmos and the worship of planets, such as Venus, have changed names and removed the face of identity to make the worship seem less barbaric.  But instead of the blood cults of Kali in India, or the perversions dedicated to Baal in the Middle East, or the ripping out of hearts at Chichen Itza in the Yucatan peninsula, the human mind has never overcome this desire to appease some deity that it considers superior.  And the World Economic Forum wants to be worshipped in its way as a government of governments.  A god that unites them all, the world’s nations, to the same spiritual sacrifices that gave power to the gods in the past.  Taxation is just another form of human sacrifice, a recognition of supremacy for the sake of devastating power.  If a person wants to continue breathing, they will do what must be done to appease that power for the sake of sheer evil. 

I recently provided a definition of evil appropriate to the modern mind.  Evil is the destruction of something that is created.  So, of course, any form of human sacrifice to a deity is evil because it destroys what is designed to appease a god’s desire to abuse and consume.  And as mindless as most people in government are as to their role, they act by this ancient desire for appeasement with the same moral conviction.  God is hungry and wants to consume, making us all part of a vast evil.  By confiscating the wealth of culture toward the sacrifice of its value to some mindless concept of god is to play in the same destructive elements that drive the Vico Cycle worldwide, the eventual collapse of all civilization into that endless wheel of time that causes the rise and fall of all societies, of known history, theocracy, aristocracy, democracy, and anarchy.  The cause of social failure always points to the consumption of its value in the form of sacrifice to a deity that never appreciates it because the belief of its appeasement is considered the act beneficial in some way that has never been defined.  The ultimate seduction of power is that government be treated with such reverence that its people would sacrifice to it everything they value.  And in such a way, people would recognize the power of government and those who make it be.  Progressive taxation was one of the evillest concepts ever to be introduced to a society of any kind and is just as sophisticated as having a policy of killing humans and ripping their hearts out to appease a deity who otherwise could care less and can never be made happy.  So it is also of taxation and the things that can be done with that confiscated wealth that solidifies the government’s ego toward global domination.

The Law of Fallow Ground in America: Corporations and Communist Governments are not in charge and never will be

One of the reasons I enjoy my time around Fast Draw Shooters, as a sport, is that most of them have reverence for old westerns and the values of the gunfighter instilling justice against bad guys as typically defined by a social dedication to the Ten Commandments.  I was at an event in Cleveland this past weekend, and we had a friendly little discussion going on about the moral erosion that is obvious to everyone.  Now these events are fun because everyone is armed with guns, and we wear our gun belts all day, and nobody thinks anything of it. It is productive because it puts me in the right frame of mind to discuss these things.  And I reminded people that the world isn’t as different as it always has been.  I reminded them of my report from traveling around the world that most countries, including England and Japan, love American Westerns, especially old ones.  If you turn on the tv in those places, you will constantly find a lot of old American Westerns playing.  Hollywood changed along the lines of the BlackRock view of radicalism that has caused much of the modern trouble.  But people are still people, and they always will be.  And I told these old gunfighters what I’m about to say to you, dear reader.  Never forget the Law of Fallow Ground, which, if you are a farmer or know farmers, is the deliberate rotation or avoidance of planting crops into the soil to allow it to replenish its nourishment.  If you keep growing the same crops in the same parcel of land over and over again, the product that comes out of the ground becomes compromised and much less efficient. 

I told those old gunfighters that America was going through just such a period.  For many years we planted good things in the ground of capitalism, and the return to society was fantastic, and the world clamored to be a part of it.  Our old westerns were reflective of that culture.  People always did love them, and they always will.  The decision not to make those Westerns by a radicalized leftist culture of communist sympathizers run by financial tyrants is a kind of Law of Fallow Ground in the greater scheme of things.  This is a period in America where we are letting the soil rest.  For too long, Americans got used to everything coming out of America being good.  It will be again, of course, the yearnings of the Trump administration and his supporters represent that hunger.  But the world needed a break from what America produced because they didn’t appreciate it when they had it.  People are seeing how good those crops were and having conversations like the one I was having with those gunfighters, talking about how messed up the world is now, they are getting hungry for the good stuff.  They should have appreciated America when America was producing good crops.  They are not happy with this Fallow Ground period.  And when America is great again, maybe they won’t take things for granted as they have been.

I was getting a hamburger just north of Columbus, Ohio, at a Hardees, and I caught a conversation with a woman with the cashier complaining about how high the prices were for fast food these days, and she was shocked.  On the store sound system was a station playing 80s greatest hits because music isn’t very relatable these days, just like the westerns that used to be expected on television.  Occasionally something good comes out in entertainment, but most of it is garbage compared to how it used to be.  The people at that Hardees were far from political people, but they missed the excellent ol’ days when fast food was cheap, great music came out every week, and people had a generally optimistic view of things socially.  Human potential was celebrated, and American culture cultivated it in everything from hamburgers to pop music.  This was never more obvious than our plans for a Disney trip with the grandkids we had been planning for a while.  I have personally been very hard on Disney.  When I think of Disney programming, I think of Davy Crocket and the Zorro television show.  As a little secret that I don’t usually talk about, I was deeply inspired as a kid by the Zorro television show, and it’s no accident that my life as an adult reflects those values.  So despite all the woke garbage that Disney puts out now, I want them to see the amusement parks while they are still there.  Yes, I predict they will be gone in the not-so-distant future.  They will not survive this Fallow Ground period because they took people for granted.  People are moving on since Disney no longer represents those classic American values.  I have been shocked by how badly Disney has fallen on vacation planning.  Their brand damage is substantial and unrecoverable.   They haven’t planted anything new for a long time, and their crops are stunted, wilted, and not consumable.  So, they are dying.  Ten years ago, planning a Disney vacation was a much different experience.  They are almost begging people to visit now, which they never used to.  But in many ways, what is happening to Disney will happen to every American corporation.  This plot to collapse capitalism into a communist centrally planned society was destined to fail from the outset. 

Just because people see a barren landscape and that the Law of Fallow Ground was imposed on a culture by a hostile society, such as the levels of Marxism we now see injected into the American economy by radical leftists; the unfortunate answer is that we needed to let this happen so that we could restore greatness to the soil of our economy.  Giving the soil time to rest by allowing other things to grow, mostly garbage has been good because people will appreciate the good stuff when it returns.  And it will return.  Companies like Disney will likely be gone forever, as will many companies that have tried to take advantage of this Fallow Ground period and grow weeds in our gardens.  But once pulled and cleared, many companies won’t be there any longer.  But the values of our culture, shown in all those American Westerns which people worldwide appreciate so much, will return in whatever form they grow into.  And as I told those gunslingers, the values are still desired.  Because communist corporations have tried to plant weeds in our culture, people will tire quickly of their offerings and want a restoration of the good stuff.  So I don’t see all this depletion as permanent.  It’s a trait of the Law of Fallow Ground.  It’s a necessary period that people need to gain an appreciation for what America has produced in the past.  Once our culture makes those things again, people will appreciate it more because now they will have seen the option.  When Zorro was on television for the first time, produced by Disney, people expected a good society that understood why that show was essential and enjoyed.  Now they see the benefits and want more of it in the future.  The lesson is that corporations and communist governments are not in charge.  The market economy is the desires of people and values that most represent them.  And what we see today is just the Law of Fallow Ground, and the good crops from that ground will return.

The Tyranny of Digital Monitoring: There is no greater threat to freedom than centralized bank’s control over your digital footprint

There have been videos showing a young woman either buying goods at a market, such as a shelf check out, who has a chip in her hand, or the reader is scanning her palm print and using that to approve her transaction in her account.  And she’s smiling and is excited about it, as if it’s the next great thing for the human race.  The belief is that the technology is terrific and can be trusted. We should all put our faith in centralized bankers committed to communism, who will then gain power over us regarding whether we are allowed to have a business transaction.  I have been on the other side of the world more than once, where my account was turned off because someone at the credit card company flagged me for “unusual behavior.” After all, I didn’t notify them of my travels the way they wanted me to.  It’s a real problem putting our lives in the hands of these pinheaded bureaucrats, especially as a cash supply.  Turning off our access to the things we need and converting everything to digital is dangerous.  It might appear convenient, but the goal of the centralized financial institutions and the communist governments behind them, such as the intentions of the World Economic Forum, is to get us hooked on convenience so that they can gain power over us.  Some easy ones that come to mind are calibrations on the stupid smart meters on our homes that can be cranked up to read more usage than is happening, jacking up your price because they tag some ESG requirement onto your bill that you don’t support.  Because the reader is not mechanically driven but is digital, it can be changed at will, just like they want to do with a digital currency, where they can decrease or increase the value of it depending on who is using it. 

I recently had a significant problem with the monopoly company that supplies water to my home.  It’s so bad that I’m about to dig a well and get off the grid.  Whenever you call them, they give you nonsense and act like you are wasting their time.  There is no customer service because they don’t have to; they are a government monopoly, essentially just like Duke Energy is.  I had some $200 water bills because the meter misrepresented my usage.  Since they converted to a digital water meter, it has been a problem and a constant fight.  Technology did not improve my life; it has wasted vast amounts of time talking to stupid people who could care less and has surrendered thoughts to technology.  This is not “smart” technology; it is bringing us tyranny.  It is giving people power over us who don’t deserve it, and they want more of it.  Letting them see what we are doing all the time and trusting them to give us access to things like power, water, or currency, which they can turn off if we don’t behave the way the ruling government wants us to, is a horrendous mistake.  In all the examples I have provided, the honest answer is never to trust technology and to use a more traditional form of exchange, such as in some faraway countries where your credit cards get turned off.  Good ol’ fashion cash is still the best option and is what I used to get out of that situation until the stupid banks in New York figured out that the problem was on their end. 

I get so tired of hearing stories about “national security,” whether it’s China spying on us, Trump taking home souvenirs from his time in the White House, or some justification for giving money to Ukraine for corrupt politicians to money launder their interactions with illegal activity.  Or aliens landing on Earth and threatening to take over the world.  Nothing is more critical to national security than digital currency, smart meters, and centralized control over our digital accounts without other options to provide freedom from companies that suddenly have more power over us than they ever should.  What they did to gain that power, in using Covid as a bioweapon that killed people and harmed many others to steer society in this digital control direction, should be part of a war crimes commission, and people must be prosecuted.  These are people assaulting free people worldwide, and their dangerous partnerships with our representative governments are diabolical and highly illegal.  But most people haven’t caught on to just how bad all this is.  Forget about sending troops off to some faraway place to fight a war that governments told us was important, killing innocent people and saying they are doing it for “freedom” when they are allowing these communist corporations to have so much power over our daily lives, and letting them get away with murder.  No wonder support for military action is declining everywhere.  We can’t trust the government that starts these wars, and we certainly can’t trust them to defend our rights and freedoms from the real enemy, these terrorists in finance who control these companies who then control our digital footprint. 

I always find some alternative to these companies, even the monopolies.  The way to hurt them most is to get off their grid–financial system, power, water, and internet networks.  I can live quite happily without any of their stuff.  I remember life before the internet; the world was much better.  Convenience is not worth surrendering freedom to; that is the deal all these companies want to make with you.  That’s why they want a chip in your hand to complete every transaction, so they can track you with AI and develop an account that gives them ultimate control over you no matter where you are.  And if you don’t behave as they want, they’ll turn you off.  I am grateful that I could live just fine without their stuff.  Camping a lot has shown me that plenty of technology, such as solar-powered generators and water purifiers, can still give you the comforts of modern life without being a part of their digital controls.  I can live a great everyday life in my RV without being a part of any government-controlled grid. I recommend that everyone use that competitive option whenever possible to fight against all this tech tyranny.  The way to hurt them most is to take away their power over you.  There are plenty of options, and you should use them whenever possible.  In truth, this is one of the reasons I have traveled so much in 2023.  I have wanted to be off the internet grid, away from the water supply, and away from all the hidden ESG penalties with Duke Energy and other companies that BlackRock has hijacked to impose climate change standards.  All while a bunch of dumb politicians cheers on some war with Ukraine like some brain-dead seal clapping for a fish.  I like to get away from their grid and read many books not connected to the internet.  It is an excellent vacation to be away from incompetent people who have suddenly been given too much control over our lives with digital monitoring that will eventually be completely controlled by Artificial Intelligence programmed to do the bidding of communist governments like China.  Digital monitoring is the greatest threat to national security, and until people start dealing with it in that regard, they’ll keep getting away with it.

Of Course, There Will Be Revenge: The Government crossed the line and justice must be utilized

What did they think was going to happen? Did they feel a criminal government of thugs would take over America as communists did in Russia, China, Cuba, and many other places without a fight?  Apparently, they aren’t brilliant in government, which was evident by the actions of Jack Smith and the Biden Department of Justice hit team.  Just because Trump said in a statement that if they came after him, he would go after them.  That’s a fair statement.  They won’t be able to hold power forever, especially illegally acquired power.  People still trust elections, and if elections don’t work, they will turn to something more brutal.  But accepting the dominance of some centralized government power isn’t part of the discussion.  It’s not going to happen.  And no, to answer many people’s daily questions, “Don’t you worry about being assassinated?”  No, I don’t worry about that kind of thing.  I see those types of events as opportunities for that kind of behavior to flow the other way.  Much the way Trump views it.  And that’s fair.  Intentions don’t equal results, and these loser leftists have many ideas about how the world should work.  But they cannot perform those intentions.  Their only success has been hiding their true strategies, which more people can now see for what they always were.  I’ve warned about them for many decades, and now people realize what I have been saying is more accurate than they wanted to believe.  But that’s OK.  I’m good; however, they all want to play in the sandbox.  But accepting tyranny and communism is not one of the outcomes.  And they should have done their homework and realized that before they went down this very dark path.  If they wanted a fight, which they do, they have one now. 

Of course, there is going to be revenge.  It can come from a second Trump term where the Democrats and their minions in the FBI take their long-deserved licks, or it will come in another form.  But punishment is coming, and it must.  Otherwise, there is no country.  There is no more significant threat to national security than the Democrat Party, filled with communists who want to take over America.  There is no threat in China from any world power that is more a threat to America than these insurgents in the American government who openly support communism.  Think of all the poor young people who have fought in wars in Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, and Afghanistan.  Any of them, wars where people have died and had their arms and legs blown off for some fight for freedom only to find out that the Biden administration represents a global insurrection toward communism that was planned all along, under the disguise of fighting for freedom.  Ukraine was finally the war that revealed the plan and the international money laundering operation it is.  Meanwhile, there are members of the House and Senate who are still cheerleading more war for all the same dumb reasons when everyone knows it’s not freedom we are fighting for.  It’s tyranny.  Then we peacefully elected President Trump to fix this government disconnect and see what they are doing to him now, using court cases to keep him from being on the campaign trail during the primary season starting on January 2nd, 2024.  That is a bit too obvious, but that’s what we are dealing with.  And they think they will get away with these massive abuses of power.  No way.  They have crossed the line with some truly nasty stuff. 

Hey, conservatives didn’t start it.  For way too long, we have been playing nice, getting pushed around by these losers in the Democrat party, getting suckered by the stupid Saul Alinsky book, apply mobster tactics to politics in genuinely destructive ways.  Communists have been backdooring our American government unchecked for many decades now, really over 100 years, and now it’s time to put a stop to it.  We weren’t the ones who started any of this.  But it is our task to finish it and to send a message to future generations.  When Mitch McConnell said that he didn’t think it was good for the country to impeach Biden, where was that sentiment when Congress was impeaching Trump twice?  But when it’s his partner in the Swamp from the senate, they’ve all taken money, much of it from the enemy itself, China.  It’s a kind of Senate club, so suddenly McConnell thinks it’s terrible to impeach a president because he would be exposed as a crook.  Many of them would be.  Likely, most of the Beltway culture is all in on the bad stuff, and they all have it coming.  They must be punished for their terrible actions, and they hope desperately to kick the can down the road just a bit longer.  They forget that the government is not in charge in America.  They are representatives.  They represent us.  They don’t rule over us.  And they certainly don’t get to come to our homes and assassinate people who disagree with them or arrest them in violation of the Bill of Rights.  No, no, no, the government is not in charge, and they aren’t going to be.  They have overplayed their hand, and Trump is the result.  And that is as good as it will ever get for them.

The essence of the ridiculous case against Trump on this latest Washington D.C. indictment involving January 6th, 2021, is that President Trump and everyone else has a legal obligation to accept what the government tells us about its election results and that we had a duty to get those results without question, or we run the risk of persecution.  The Marxist prosecutors intend for a liberal D.C. court to provide a caselaw as a continuation of the Alex Jones Sandy Hook case that went against the media personality last year, a clear violation of free speech.  And if it were to go against Trump, it would indeed be overturned in the Supreme Court.  But by then, the communists of the Biden administration hope to eradicate that court in the next rigged election of Joe Biden.  So these guys are playing for keeps, but our side has not matched their aggressiveness out of kindness.  But there certainly isn’t anything wrong with what Trump said about getting revenge.  Trump is the revenge candidate, and many Americans want it.  And if they can strike back against these corrupt government officials through a peaceful election, they certainly will.  But as I did say, after January 6th, I did not see what the rest of the world did, an insurrection.  To my eyes, the government got off lucky.  People were generally well-behaved.  What did they think people would do when a corrupt government stoked the fires of injustice?  And what do they think will happen in the future with continued abuse?  People have a right to be upset, and they are.  The miscalculation that people in America will fall into a docile state is another miscalculation by some dumb people who have mistaken kindness for complicity.  Revenge is on many American minds, and they will get it, one way or another.  The government needs to come clean if they want to sit at the table in the future.  It is a privilege for the government.  Not a divine right.  And understand the game, especially regarding the special counselor assigned to Hunter Biden.  They know they went too far and are looking for a slow walk to show fairness.  But they have no intention of doing anything about it.  They only intend to hide their activism through a mask of fairness because they know how angry people are.

The Rich Hoffman Definition of Good and Evil: How to Make Heaven on Earth and Defeat the Bad Guys

It’s that time again; over the next year or so, many things will make you question life itself and whether or not all this is even worth it.  The temptations of evil are and will be overwhelming, as they always have been, and many people will fail to arrive intact to their eternal satisfactions.  I talk about good and evil a lot, which I am very interested in discussing.  And I always intend to stay true to do good in the world, no matter the temptations.  Yet to do that, you have to have a perfect definition of what evil is and what it isn’t so that the good work of good can be done.  To that point, the old movie The Never Ending Story, I have always thought, did the best job of talking about the nature of evil.  Because without good definitions for things, it is easy to become lost in chaos, and evil proliferates under those conditions.  So, what is it, and why should we not like evil and fight for good?  What’s the purpose of any of it, especially since it’s so hard.  Well, the eater of everything in the movie Never Ending Story was the “Nothing,” sort of an all-encompassing consumer of everything, like a black hole in the imagination.  Something that “doesn’t exist.”  At all.  And the Bible is nearly entirely dedicated to this examination, the fight for good against the temptations of evil.  The pantheon of gods that Yahweh is fighting and trying to save humanity from is quite a vicious struggle that often gets lost after the opening pages of Genesis.  Why was god so furious with Baal and the gang of Mesopotamian deities who inhabited the land of Canaan explicitly?  An even better question is, why should people care if a public school board turns the other way when pedophilia is on the minds of the administrators and other employees?  Or care about the massive crimes of the Biden administration?  Without a good definition of evil, evil grows and consumes everything, which of course, it wants to do.  The only thing that can stop it is righteousness rooted in a desire to do good.  And the first thing evil does to destroy good is to destroy the definitions of goodness, which is undoubtedly the problem of our modern times.  But to put it simply, evil cannot exist without good to suck off of for its own sustenance.  In the beginning, there was no evil.  Evil only arrives as a byproduct of free will and the decisions of thought to produce or destroy.  Something has to exist first to have any consideration, so evil will always be a parasite of good.  Not an entity onto itself. 

So I’m happy to provide the Rich Hoffman definitions of evil because it works and will do quite a lot to destroy evil in the world, which is a hobby of mine.  I don’t think I enjoy anything more than destroying evil.  I do sincerely love it.  I wouldn’t want to do anything else.  But that is because of my definitions of good and evil and the nature of evil.  So essentially, going back to the Book of Genesis, God said let there be light, so there was, and our story begins.  Something was created, and it was good.  Good, by definition, is a value judgment given to something that is created.  The intentions of the powers of creation in human culture could be said to be good.  Now relative to other people, they may not like the product or have different opinions on its value.  But in essence, creating something with the imagination of human intellect, we could say, is to mimic the acts of God at the beginning of creation, and the universe views the process as “good.”  Evil is committed when something attempts to undo that creation or hinder that creative process.  Evil is all about destruction; it is the anti-creative force.  Something that tries to destroy that which is created. 

The ultimate form of evil in the world is laziness.  Someone who doesn’t want to create and desires to destroy the creations of others because they don’t want to live up to a high measure set by the excellent work of others.  To me, it is evil to do bad work or not work at all because they deny the world the acts of creation from the human intellect.  Drug use is wrong because it seeks to blunt the effects of human thought.  Financial scams are bad because they seek productive enterprise rewards without the actual effort of wealth creation.  And AI is wrong because it seeks to think for people who otherwise should be performing the work of a feeling being.  When someone wants to cheat because they are too lazy to do something, under my definition, they are committing evil because they don’t want to do the work of thinking.  And at the most primal stage of existence, the review was the purpose of creating human beings in God’s image.  We were meant to do on earth what was in heaven.  We were told to make heaven in the world and expand God’s kingdom.  The fall in the Garden of Eden was a tragedy more about the nature of free will than what the temptations of a snake could provide through eating the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.  To do so was to be like the Gods, and that was not the point; the various forces that conspired to work against Yahweh in the Divine Council since before the beginning of time itself, which was a creation in and of itself to the excellent work of good in the universe, against the forces of nothingness too lazy to do anything else but consume the world around them for their sustenance.  Adam and Eve were supposed to know better and maintain heaven on earth to continue good.

With that definition in mind, then why am I against public schools?  Isn’t that trying to destroy something made by the government to educate children?  That is the mask of evil in how it tries to contort reality.  Public schools are designed to eliminate the mind of children and make their natural ambitions toward goodness unachievable, and, hinders their creative process making them agents of evil by the time they grow up.  Which I consider reprehensible.  And along that line of thought, why should we care about pedophilia, especially in public schools?  It is a very evil thing to do to a new and growing mind to rob it of its individual will toward goodness, to grow up to be productive and creative, and to expand the fruitful nature of the universe through heavenly output.  A ruined person in the form of an adult who has made many mistakes in their life has no right to rob a young person of their full potential.  Evil has no right to destroy the efforts of creation from the mind of the good. Suitable as a product might be relative to the beholder, but the process itself is good by the needs of an ever-expanding universe and is the point of all existence.  And the lazy way out of a troubled life is to consume from others what they couldn’t do for themselves, either by stealing virtue or innocence before a mind is fully formed and can act on its own accord.  That is why pedophilia is evil, public schools are wrong, drug dealers are horrendously bad, and a lazy employee is detrimental to all existence.  That is why we should all fight for good and destroy evil wherever it presents itself.  Then, of course, the world will be a much better place.
