The Strategy of Making People Look Crazy: Or to drive them crazy in the process

There’s another arraignment at 9 AM on December 18^th for Darbi Boddy, just for going to Lakota school board meetings as an elected representative.  You can see how ridiculous the case against her has been by Judge Lyon’s recent filing, trying to drive the point further for his client Isaac Adi from any public criticism, which is utterly ridiculous.  The first arraignment was to have occurred just after Thanksgiving 2023, but the judge, as all judges in Butler County, would have to because of the power of Isaac’s attorney, who is a long-standing common pleas judge, had to be delayed.  The Ohio Supreme Court then had to appoint a neutral judge.  So, of course, we are dealing with legal gymnastics that assumes that an abuse of legal authority comes by hiring a judge to process a case in which we are to believe that Darbi Boddy is such a threat to the Lakota school board that Isaac is terrified and is seeking help from the courts.  As ridiculous as all that is, Darbi is facing a potential of 6 months in jail and in the thousands of dollars in fines, not to mention the extraordinary legal fees.  Darbi’s first attorney has stepped aside and now there is a new one as this case continues to drag on for what would appear to be frivolous reasons on the surface.  But I’ve seen this tactic before, and it has a deeper meaning, as dumb as that reason might be.  It’s a strategy I have seen happen to men and women over many decades, primarily women.  I’m surprised Judge Lyons would participate as he has spent time around me and shown interest in constitutional individualism.  But then again, there are many like him over the years who have simply wanted to fit in, and in the dark places of their minds, resent individualists like Darbi Boddy so much, that they turn to the mechanisms of collectivism to exert a social control that drew them to the acquisition of power in the first place. 

There is nothing about the Darbi Boddy case that is legally correct, it’s a clear abuse of authority that started with attorneys for Lakota schools pulling the strings behind the scenes to get rid of Darbi as a school board member, for lots of reasons.  Most involve having a puppet school board easily controlled for upcoming labor negotiations with the teacher’s union.  Darbi, like President Trump, is a threat to that old order. Her prosecution is a clear message not to mess with these public unions, judges’ networks of brotherhoods, and bar associations.  There is a reason that weak people seek comfort in brotherhoods; it’s for the power they feel they can only get from group assimilation.  So what we have going on all over the country, especially at Lakota schools, is individualism against collectivism and the merits of those philosophies to public government.  But this didn’t all start with Darbi in 2023; this action against her is a common strategy and has occurred frequently over the years. It has occurred in over 20 women I have known.  Many started just like Darbi Boddy, young and in their 40s, raising children, attending church, finding the world’s evils repugnant, and wanting to do something about it.  But in the process of the fight against that system, the common strategy of collectively based villainous characters is to attempt to capture the definition of sanity and use it to make their opponents look insane or to drive them insane with the audacity of evil that is presented to them.  So far, Darbi Boddy has held up well over the last few years.  But adding all this up over a decade or two takes its toll, and the results are usually terrible.

I don’t think she would mind, but I normally keep these things quiet; I would call Judge Edelsten a friend, she is the person who had trouble in the Butler County courts that involved lots of legal issues with many of the same judges that are involved in the Darbi Boddy case, which is why she comes to my mind.  And she won her cases, just as Darbi should win all of hers.  But the cost to her has been enormous, and the system participants have built it that way.  The best way to explain what happens to these women, again men too, such as Roger Reynolds, the former auditor of Butler County, or Thomas Hall, the current Representative in Ohio, is that there is a network that protects itself from vivacious characters that drew them to power in the first place.  But specifically with women, some of them are now in their 70s and have been fighting the same corruption for over thirty years, and it wears them out.  They end up with their kids grown and hateful; their husbands usually end up running off with other women, women who are less politically active and much easier to make happy, and they end up alone, bitter, and angry.  And people like these Butler County judges know that their cases have little legal merit, but their control over the law can drive people crazy.  A good example would be when a man is looking to cheat on his wife with another woman, and he attempts to portray the effort by telling everyone how crazy his wife is so that he can justify the abandonment of his marital vows.  When collectivists attack individuals, they always turn toward manipulating public opinion so they can show themselves as the victim, which is the entire legal strategy behind the Darbi Boddy legal cases.  It’s the system looking to divorce Darbi by making her look like the crazy wife.  And if she’s not crazy today, fighting a corrupt system might make her and her friends turn out that way.

That’s not to say that fighting back against the system is a worthless gesture.  I would point to what’s happening in American politics with Trump against the never-Trumper movement as an example of this behavior over many years catching up to them.  Sure, there have been a lot of casualties. Some of the women I mentioned are now very bitter old ladies who never tasted justice even though technically they won in court.  The sheer evil of the systems they fight rots them from the inside out.  But along the way, the exposure of this vast evil has turned the public against it.  So, no matter how far down the well the Butler County courts attempt to attach themselves to yet another example of judicial activism to take out a political opponent using a corrupt court system to do it, the public is turning away from those kinds of abuses of power, because they are tired of it.  They see what has been going on all along.  I tell those older women that I’m thinking of, as their kids have grown up, to hate them for their crusades of justice, and for what, to eventually win a victory in the court of public opinion several decades later, that it was all worth it.  Their men would have left them for younger women anyway.  And kids often must learn life lessons from the totality of a life, not just the little kid years where a mom was a good mom because they gave them a popsicle from the freezer while watching their favorite show on television.  As Darbi Boddy is experiencing in real-time, most collective-based organizations, whether it’s the Lakota school board, the local attorneys, the judges, the political RINOs, or the Freemasonry network, that all the people join those memberships to gain power over their fear of individual merit.  Which is the root cause of much of what’s wrong in the world.  And in the end, the victory is worth it.  Even if it costs a lot to get there.
