The Best Way to Beat Global Communists: Be a man

There is an easy solution to all this wokeness.  I know it can appear shocking to witness all the incidences of woke behavior, but there is a classic countermeasure to it that makes beating this globalist strategy well within reach.  And that is classic manhood.  Be a man.  It really is that simple.  The truth is, the globalist progressives, the Marxists of communist advocacy, do not have an answer for manhood; that’s why they call masculinity toxic.  It is only toxic for them.  As it has always been, masculinity is wonderful for the rest of the world.  The progressive strategy of world conquest occurs only by forcing humanity to yield to its neutered power.  Just as when a dog is neutered to socially control behavior, this is what progressives have attempted to do to all of civilization by removing masculinity in our culture and replacing it with compliance and a docile nature so that the subject would be easy to control.  Just like a dog.  But in this case, the neutered behavior isn’t surgical, it’s purely emotional.  By taking away the outlets of masculinity, the belief was that they could remove its effects and, therefore, reconstruct the nature of society.  At the heart of wokeness, this was their strategy, and it is comical to watch their effects now, understanding the feebleness of the effort as a social movement.  These social movements are social experiments conducted by influences who believe that they have a right and obligation to conduct such a science experiment based on their acquisition of wealth, so someone like a George Soros type can pour money into avenues to promote the behavior, and much like Covid can implement a strategy that the rest of the world thinks is organic.  But it’s not; it’s purely the effort of a small mass of society to implement political control over those huddled masses. 

Masculinity has always been an essential part of social interaction, and when it works best, competition from other men pushes society to be better.  President Trump is a good example of this; using masculinity, he has established himself as a deal-maker worldwide, able to make the best business relationships and acquire the best women as a result in his life.  Which then produces pretty people in the Trump family.  These are horrendous elements of a communist society looking for sameness, this idea that a man could beat out other men for the right to mate with the most beautiful women.  Such a concept is precisely what the communists are trying to get rid of in society.  But by taking away the traditional reason that men and women get together and mate is to strike a blow at the core relationship of capitalism in a healthy society and to reengineer it with new values.  The best-looking women could then pick from the top-performing men to create a culture of genetic improvement based on performance.  So if a man wanted access to the best women, then he would have to work hard and be better than his peers.  This is why communists want to remove masculinity from their micromanaged culture and why woke rules were established, to begin with, to attack this essential element of civil society.  Communists hate competition, and competition is at the heart of masculinity, which elevates society in productive ways.  The reward for conquest has always been accessing beautiful women, so by removing the attributes of conquest, progressives, and other communists hoped to eliminate their rivals from global power with neutered dogs unable to exert a defense of their livelihoods. 

We knew there was trouble decades ago when these same personalities, the global communists, said that it was OK for men to cry, to show emotions, and to make them essentially into women.  As a result, we have a society of cry babies pleading to the mother government for appeasement rather than being a man and taking life by the horns and wrestling the problem to its rightful conclusion.  When social designers of this new political order were constructing their strategy, they desired to establish this parental role of government, much like authoritarian governments have over their people in Asian countries, especially China.  Women are not very well respected there, and men are only utilized as a service to their parental government.  They have been trying to establish this in America and Western cultures in general.  By making all the sexes the same, their objective was to replace the family idea with a society of children looking to the government for their parental necessities, then giving powers to those government roles for ultimate expansion, only to be ruled by mass compliance that suppressed biological necessity, at the core of all that was the elimination of competition between peers so that the government could establish value for the government’s sake.  I watched these policies arrive into American culture from the perspective of knowing better because it was not always that way.  And I watched the fools who adopted it with the same ease that they accepted fashion trends as if the idea of toxic masculinity would be edited out of our culture with ease.  It hasn’t; women still like men for what they are, and men who are men find great success in life because it’s how humans interact with each other at the heart of it all.  

Wokeness was an experiment in controlling the effects of masculinity on society.  But the moment those dumb rules are ignored, the impact of centralized governments falls apart quickly.  That is at the heart of all the Trump cases, which is trying to use lawfare to keep the president from running again.  Yet the reason all those efforts are failing is not just because they violate a constitution that projects limits on government power, but that by ignoring the woke rules of society, a man can easily conquer these political efforts.  The whole house of cards falls quickly to the men of society who ignore woke regulations and do what they are biologically inclined to.  People respect men, men and women.  This attempt to remove masculine efforts was always a politically driven science experiment by global communists who wanted to rule with a centralized government.  The social message for them was easily manipulated by a society struggling with growing up from their parents and living their own lives with courage instead of cleaving to the skirts of government as their new parental role model.  Manhood is how to beat the wokesters, at every level of society.  And it’s surprisingly easy to do once people understand the game that has been going on.  The best way to defeat the communist movement behind political progressives is to ignore their woke rules and to be a man.  Women will love you for it.  And other men will respect you.  And the power of wokeness will dissipate quickly.  The anti-man movement is now well into its effect, and people are growing tired of it.  The power of manhood is swinging back in the direction of tradition, and it will likely bounce back like never before.  And if you want to bring down global communism in embarrassing ways for them, then be a man.  Let manhood be toxic to them, and let them melt before our eyes for the lack of power they always had.  And enjoy the results.

Interacting with the Spirit World: How incense provides a vehicle to a world beyond the living

I’ve been thinking about how the spirit world dramatically influences the politics of our lives, as most indicators point to massive manipulation of our politics from the realm best articulated in the traditional Bible.  I found myself in Japan visiting some of the best-known temples in Kyoto with friends and comparing them to what we know about the Temple of Solomon.  Even though there have been over three thousand years of evolution in them, I couldn’t help but see massive similarities and notice how a religious relationship with the politics of a nation has either a positive or negative effect.  The gods worshipped aren’t even the same; in the case of Solomon’s Temple, it was Yahweh.  In the temples of Kyoto, it was Buddha, but as I have been saying for a while now, even including the way that the original Hebrew Bible was written from back to front, right to left, just as Japan writes to this day, it is obvious that the influences along the Silk Road, even in ancient times were a massive culture of uniformity that has its influences even now.  It might be uncomfortable for many people to consider their regional specificity, but there is a common theme that is easily verified when visiting these religious places, and that is the use of incense to establish a relationship with spiritual entities for assistance in the here and now.  Watching people interact with incense in Japan by washing it over themselves and then stepping into the temple to pray to Buddha reminded me almost identically of the tabernacle rituals of Solomon’s Temple and many others worldwide.  However, the same approach to these sacred precincts established by the Jewish people was more than just a coincidence.  There was a science to the approach that worked at some unconscious level, and it had been established long ago and is still in use to this very moment. 

We don’t get to see such a spiritual alignment in the United States because we have allowed ourselves to be suckered into a church versus state argument that discourages public displays of religious value, which the Japanese people have no apprehension over.  As a direct result, you can travel the streets in downtown Tokyo at 2 AM and see nearly no litter and experience very little crime.  People are overwhelmingly respectful of each other, and much of the root of this behavior is their relationship with the spirit world, which they are very open about.  Visiting temples in Kinkakujicho, the Kinna-ji Temple, the magnificent Kiyomizu-dera Temple, and several others, the use of incense smoke to provide a place for the spirit world to manifest in our three-dimensional world is a foundation for establishing a relationship with those characters.  It is common for people to regionally associate their deities of worship with the specificity of their culture and give them names like people name their goldfish.  But in truth, there is much more than just mimicry across multiple cultures over vast periods.  There was a cause and effect that couldn’t be ignored and was at the root of all successful societies.  Much of the Bible deals specifically with the nature of having a relationship with God, as the purpose of the Tabernacle even before the Temple of Solomon was built, was so that God could exist with his people, to manifest upon the Mercy Seat over the outstretched wings of the Ark of the Covenant.  I often think of the Ten Commandments as being the key to a prosperous society, in having rules that work and structure people to work together with shared assumptions.  But even more than that, this relationship with God through incense smoke is unmistakably productive. 

When people stopped worshipping God, as chronicled in the Bible and stepped back into the worship of the high places with human sacrifice to Baal, those societies quickly crumbled into a heap of madness.  And that has been the same story of all cultures who stepped away from God over the many years, the God Yahweh, as the Jewish people came to know him.  As I watched people in Japan interacting with the smoke and washing it over themselves, I kept thinking that the smoke itself was something anybody could produce anywhere, from simple incense burners from Walmart.  There was nothing specifically special about the smoke.  It was only made at a place meant to take the participant’s mind away from the noise of their daily life and have a relationship with the spirit world and whatever Gods might answer.  They have their names for them.  Just as most religions around the world do as well.  But that the intent was the same was more than a coincidence.  If you wanted to see what temple life was like for the Hebrew people in the Near East and understand what a thriving culture looked like, Japan had its finger on it.  Whereas modern Israel is war-torn and under contention, purposely trying to suppress a successful religious experience, much of the world is in conflict over this essential relationship, I would argue.  This is not just for the regional aspects of nation-building but also for the soldiers of the spirit world themselves.  They are at war with each other, and they use the minds of men to corrupt them into conflict by interrupting a positive experience of chaos and maniacal lunacy, such as the church and state arguments. 

By eroding the values of a culture, people allow themselves to be manipulated like pawns in a grand chess game from rivals beyond the world of the living.  And in places in the world where that relationship is positive, they also have a political culture that is functioning correctly.  The best way to destroy a person is to destroy their relationship with the spirit world, no matter what they call their gods, whether those gods are the same character with different names or a pantheon of different characters sometimes called the same name.  It’s the relationship that matters and how it carries over into a political society.  And what about the smoke of incense that carries a relationship with God?  It’s a common theme we can learn from the longest-running, prosperous society of people, the Jewish people because they have been doing it for a long time.  In Japan, as I visited many temples last week in Kyoto, the functionary relationship with the spirit world is alive and well.  And it’s working for them successfully.  Few places on earth today are more successful culturally than what is witnessed in Japan, especially Kyoto, the old capital.  People had a relationship with the more significant aspects of dimensional confinement, and they were happy about it.  The incense smoke appealed to that relationship, which was tangible and precisely like the Tabernacle of the Hebrew people.  When people fell to Baal worship, they turned to appeasement of those gods through the sacrifice of the living.  Whereas to Yahweh, and eventually the Buddha, who came 500 years later, and then the influence of Christ from India, we see an approach that worked along the Silk Road many thousands of miles apart.  It can be shown that a successful relationship with the spirit world creates an opportunity for a prosperous society.  But the temptations to shortcut or abandon that relationship are all too common and involve politics beyond our lives, yet very much at the center of everything we do.

Let the Communists Leave America: Nobody will miss you

It’s comical to watch, and we all deserve the pleasure of it.  But the communists are threatening to leave when President Trump is re-elected, and they think we care.  As in the threat of it will frustrate the America First political movement.  So, for context, let’s review how we arrived here.  For years, the communists, because that’s what they always were on the political left, communists, planned to conquer American capitalism with guilt by exploiting race tensions and gender roles to advance their Karl Marx agenda.  We can say what we couldn’t before because they have revealed their agenda in the wake of the stolen 2020 election.  The communists thought that their capture of the legal system would put Trump down for good and that the MAGA movement was gone forever.  And it’s not just Democrats; in Ohio, it was Speaker Stephens and the Blue22 coalition who have been working against state central committees to put Matt Dolan on the slate cards across the state over Bernie Moreno, which is just as dumb as when Governor Kasich, ignored the political sentiment of the state and continued to run for President, just as Nikki Haley just did.  The people they are talking to all believe they understood how politics worked in America and that they would continue to enjoy this left-leaning version, even in the Republican Party.  So it’s not just a few dumb people going through all this.  But in the face of the reality that Trump is coming back to the Executive Branch, and this time, there will be a lot more support in the House and Senate to support his administration, those same communist personalities are turning toward their narcissism as their last resort revealing the inherent insanity of their position, that people actually care what they think.  If they threaten to leave the country, people will miss them.

I would be completely fine with all communist-oriented people would leave America after this next election.  Go!  Please do us all a favor and leave.  Go to some other communist country and ruin their lives.  Please leave us alone in America.  We don’t want you!  Nobody will miss you!  If all the communists leave America because of the Trump election, then our country will be a lot better off.  And yes, communists is the right word.  Anybody who has sympathy and a yearning for anything Karl Marx advocated should be said to be a communist.  Those standing against the MAGA movement are functioning communists and that’s not an inflationary statement.  Even the soft-shelled Republicans like the Dolan supporters are functioning communists because they support a government form of collectivism and state controls that Karl Marx advocated for.  And that people are so willing to reject the communist plan is shocking to them.  That the race-baiting and exploitation of the sexes have run its course.  People are no longer sympathetic to the dumb messages in the NFL endzones, “stop racism,” and those types of propaganda.  They got suckered before, and people were burned when they watched the communists ruin their country with a communist insurrection in 2020 and endure the constant criticism the previous four years.  Now, we have had eight years of outright communist propaganda, and people are finally done with it.  Their economy is ruined, their jobs are infected with corporate communism, and life has been horrible.  But those same people finally see what I’ve been warning about for thirty years.  Communism has been loose in America through the Democrat Party and the Republicans who want to make deals with those communists, and it has been a good gig for those playing the game.  But it has been horrible for America, and people are finally ready to admit to just how bad it was.

Part of the communist plan was to control the media; it was one of their goals starting in the 1930s, during the “red decade.”  What kept communism in the background was the outbreak of World War II.  But it was communism that was behind the hippie movement and that dumb peace sign.  It was communism that was behind the Rap music radicalism of minority communities seeking to destroy America.  It wasn’t an organic movement but an attempt to overthrow the values of American culture.  And Americans put up with it for a long time because they were living somewhat decent lives.  There was bread on the shelf at the grocery.  They had March Madness to watch.  And they had easy access to gasoline.  Even though the communists continued to turn down the screws of their plan a little bit each year, the pace of change was slow enough for people to ignore.  That is, until the communists got desperate after Trump was elected, and they increased their radicalism, showing the world what they always had been.  In so doing, they exposed their scam all along.  People were shocked by what they saw happening, and those who doubted that communism was a real problem in America suddenly were seeing the light.  Which is about two decades too long, but who’s counting?  Communism has no place in America, not as a mixed economy, not as a social enterprise.  Communists must be destroyed just as McCarthy was trying to establish in the 1950s.  The threat was always there, but only recently were Americans forced to face the facts. 

I also talk about the public school system being designed by communists wearing the mask of progressives to avoid the stigma.  In public schools, children are introduced to the class system of a communist society.  To get into a higher class, you must appease the members of it to be accepted into their collective membership.  So they are used to setting the terms for their appeasement.  Such as, “I won’t like you if you don’t wear Nike tennis shoes.”  And some people become very stressed about these parameters.  Over time, the communists in America have gotten used to setting the priorities for their appeasement because they controlled a political class, and like dummies, Republicans and Democrats crawled through broken glass naked to appease them.  “No, I’m not a racist.  See, I voted for Obama.”  Or, “See, I’m not a sexist or a member of toxic masculinity because I wore a pink dress shirt with rainbows on it.”  And in so doing, we have worked to undo our country and its values and to usher in a society of communists. That is, until now.  Knowing that the class setting the standard was communists, Americans are now changing their tune and are not working to appease those people.  And now the communists, in a fit of anger, are threatening to leave, as if we ever really cared.  What they fear is that people don’t care because that was the only leverage point that they had was that people would want to appease them for acceptance into the communist class in a social structure.  In that context, what we are seeing now was something that it took us over a century to admit to, and I think we will be far better off for it.  The communists have been exploited and shown for what they always were.  And finally, people are ready to confront them honestly, instead of trying to appease them.  This means there is a lot of hope for the future that we are just now beginning to understand.

Frank Herbert’s ‘Dune’: The kind of political philosophy that will take mankind into a space economy

I spend a lot of time thinking about the challenges of becoming an interplanetary civilization.  When people ask me why I do what I do, I tell them it’s not for money, it’s not for popularity, and it’s certainly not for a platform for politics.  I am interested in philosophy as Socrates exhibited it, specifically, the thinking it will take to move humanity off the Earth and become a multi-planetary species.  This past week, two things happened that reminded me of this task. The first was the Starship launch, which was very successful with SpaceX.  The second Dune movie did very well at the box office, showing continued interest, which I think is terrific because it gives people access to the old Frank Herbert books, which I think are masterpieces on a biblical scale, as opposed to just science fiction.  I have been thinking a lot about Frank and his books lately, the six he wrote, then the final two in the original series that his son continued to conclusion. 

If we want to be an interplanetary civilization, we must first solve some fundamental problems. One of those is the problem of power and why people crave it. One great example of exploring that problem is the novels by Frank Herbert in, Dune, the eight-book analysis introduced to the world through the latest movies, which are very good. But just the start of quite a journey.  More people would better understand our current circumstances if they read Frank Herbert’s books because he deals with a lot of serious stuff in that fantastic series.  Yes, as in the movies, they are dealing with the human race as they have colonized space, all over the universe space, not just a regional galaxy, 10,000 years in the future.  The politics are very similar to the concerns of the Old Testament, with bloodlines and kingdoms at the heart of the story.  Frank is very concerned with the nature of politics, so these Dune books are more about sociology and politics than they are about science or fiction. In the movies, the one from 1984 and now these recent ones, the lead character rises to greatness to become the new emperor, and that’s the end of the story.  That fits a typical narrative for a Hollywood movie.  But Dune is much more than these things, so these stories have been hard to make into movies.  The point in building up the lead story and characters is that the rest of the book rips them apart in a kind of libertarian study of the human race and how power corrupts, or does it?  One thing that Frank does that I am very interested in, that very few anybodies has ever touched, is how the spirit world influences the politics of humanity.  It’s an offering of the kind of Divine Council discussed in Psalms 82 and certainly reflects what Paul talked about in Ephesians.  Who rules us from beyond the grave, and how far down the rabbit hole does it go?  In those Dune books, Herbert even calls his work a prediction, not fiction, as he sets out to study ecology.  I think of our political life as just the surface reflections of much deeper forces at work, not all of them human as we think of the word.  And not just spiritual as we think of Casper the ghost or the Holy Spirit.  We must look at the spirit world as it strives to exist outside our known universe and expect that they are using self-interest to manipulate our lives to their advantage.  Frank Herbert deals with that level of political management, and it’s fantastic and can’t really be captured in the movies. 

As crazy as our political system is, I consider it a healthy necessity.  What America is going through is needed for global management of political systems that can then carry over into off-world colonies, which are coming at us much faster than people realize.  And we must solve some of these problems before we come to that impasse.  We must have a political system based on a healthy understanding of capitalism before we start moon colonies and cities on Mars.  Too much micromanagement of adventures into space will stop progress, and as Herbert assumes in his books, humanity reverts to the biblical necessity of royal bloodlines through the Vico Cycle.  I disagree with a lot about Herbert, especially regarding drug use.  But like the work of Graham Hancock that I have talked about in using ayahuasca to communicate with the spirit world, the spice in Dune is essentially the same kind of thing, and I think Herbert is on to something essential as far back as 1965.  Many of the Baal worshipers of Canaan also used psychedelics in their rituals, and in that context, it is likely the cause of the frequent turning away from God that is a majority of the narrative in the Bible.  Frank Herbert in Dune explores why this is the case and when drugs are used to speak to other spirit beings, who they are, and what they are motivated by.  And by coming to terms with that, you can then understand the kind of evil that is loose in the world now, and understand it with some perspective. 

Herbert goes so far as to place political motivations for spiritual influence in his many Dune books and migrates beyond universal influence, which is pretty impressive as a work of fiction.  I would put it on the level of Atlas Shrugged and other Ayn Rand works.  I don’t agree with everything she does either, but the thought process is beneficial.  Somewhere in these intellectual works are the answers we need to become an interplanetary species, so I don’t get too excited about transitory elections.  What we are all fighting against each other to achieve is the war of ideas that survive into the future, and I tend to think of these efforts in the most extensive picture possible. The trajectory of change will far exceed standard election cycles.  It’s why people win that matters, why certain people are attracted to power, and how power corrupts or is helpful to society.  And how a tyrant today might be a benefactor tomorrow.  Morality is often not so much determined by what we see but by what we are growing to understand and how that understanding is influential across over 22 dimensions.  And as we continue to build nations and colonies in space, what kind of political system should they have to accommodate with all considerations available, as we can know them, through science or fiction.  The Dune books have some magnificent things to say along those lines, and I think it is wonderful that the movies are doing well and that people are learning about the books for the first time.   One thing that space travel needs is a healthy appreciation of government systems that embrace capitalism.  Future religions must be joined at the hip; otherwise, their value will fall apart.  So, it’s not enough to build a Starship and start moving people into a new space economy.  We must work on the deep philosophical problems that have permeated the human race since the beginning.  And we have to solve them with something fresh, and America is the leader of that movement.  In the long run, it will make much more sense for people.

Joe Biden is a Communist: The American government is the new criminal syndicate on a global scale

What did I think of Biden’s speech?  Well, I have been traveling, so I haven’t had much time to talk about it with people, and I have received hundreds and hundreds of email requests asking me about it, which I have not gotten around to answering, even but a handful.  And before I replied, I thought about it to take the edge out of my opinion.  It would have been easy to pick on that ridiculous State of the Union speech by Biden, who was an inserted president, not one selected by the people in an honest election.  The 2020 election that put Biden in power is by the exact control mechanisms that keep dictators in power in Cuba, China, Russia, Venezuela, and other communist countries around the world.  Elections in those countries are not free and by the people.  They give the illusion of free choice, but there is too much power and money for people to vote away that power with an election.  Who is dumb enough to believe that not to be the case, and that is why there are so many stupid election laws in America disguised as “voter equality” when, in fact, it’s voter suppression on a mass scale?  The mail-in ballots are something that Russia and China would come up with to stay in power, and Democrats in America think that same method is going to work here, too.  That’s why they were so cocky with Biden, because they believe, even with such a dumb fool, that they control the process so audaciously that it’s laughable that Trump would ever be in office again.   What was that the FBI said during pillow talk?  “We won’t allow it.”  Yeah, don’t be a sucker, what Biden has been and still is was purely the Deep State showing it has the power over American elections, and they are daring people to challenge them, and they have the power of government behind them, which has made them even more arrogant.  The J6 prisoners are all about reminders to the population to submit to their authority and to say uncle, hoping to get some semblance of normalcy back to their lives, in gas prices, bread, and a job that can barely pay the bills. 

No, what Biden’s speech delivered was exactly what Democrats and some Republicans have been accused of since the McCarthy hearings: it was communists on parade, and what’s different now than in times past is that Biden is not a particularly good spokesman for it.  Bill Clinton could sell a used car as new well, as could the domestic terrorist Barack Obama, the foreign kid from Indonesia who lied about everything but hid the scam behind racism.  Joe Biden is just a corrupt old fool who was stuck into power as a placeholder until they could figure out how to kill off the MAGA movement with their massive control over society, from the courts to the media to elected offices.  They have been using the China model.  And I say they because it is “they” the globalists who support global communism through corporate boards and banks as their delivery method.  However, further support goes to their European secret societies and trade unions.  Communism is as alive today as it was before the fall of the Berlin Wall.  But to take the edge off the public, they just allowed for a breakdown of the wall so they could get rid of people like Ronald Reagan from office and get one of their assets into positions of power, like George Bush, the senior, the ex-CIA director.  I told you guys when I had a chance to talk directly to the CIA Director, Mike Pompeo; I asked him way before anybody about the significance of the intel community who lied about Trump and Russia, the famous 51 now.  He was embarrassed, of course, but he knew.  He tried to do something about those problems but couldn’t put his desire for presidential office down long enough to do any real good.  Or they would have just gotten rid of him, too.  I’m not talking about these things in the vacuum of ideology, but most of the time with a wide perspective and input from the actual people.

When Biden says he’s a capitalist, he’s playing the identical plan Castro used to take power in Cuba in the ’60s and ’70s.  Biden is too compromised to be his own man, so they put him in power.  So they could control him.  And they have told him, “they” being the same globalist malcontents, that if he wants to stay out of jail, then he has to keep the office of president.  That’s why many of these criminal types wish for power, so they can control the law and stay out of jail.  I also told everyone about how the mobs moved out of localized control and into government for the same reasons.  Mobsters stopped having shootouts with the cops years ago.  Now, they raised their kids to grow up to be attornies, to keep their crooked operations into power without fighting the courts.  Instead, they became the courts, and they have expected to get away with it.  Biden is a communist, and we know it because we’ve seen this communist scam in most countries around the world.  I had the opportunity to see all this clearly by being in Japan for the last week, the third most powerful economy in the world, but they do it with far fewer people.  And it becomes apparent the communists have been in control through the Democrat Party for a long time.  And with MAGA we are looking to put them out of power without it turning to bloodshed.  And the Biden speech of 2024 announced the apparent necessity of that ambition.

The system isn’t so far gone that we have to scrap everything.  But we must put the people back in charge of their own government.  Right now, the globalists are in charge of their radical communist European interests.  While in Japan, I had an interesting conversation about zoning, because we were comparing American zoning to Japanese zoning, and I had to report not happily that the United Nations has been in charge of American zoning for more than three decades now, and most city planners are trained Marxist right out of our colleges who have been converted to the same.  We call them liberals, Democrats, Progressives, Rinos, everything but what they are, and that is communists.  But we need to start naming the beast for what it is.  I had the benefit of clarity gained through travel.  But in America, that’s what we all must face.  Biden is a communist and so are the Democrats trying to keep him in power.  And we are at a place where we have to do something about it now, or we will have more significant problems later.  Because they aren’t hiding it anymore, they can’t afford to.  But they believe they have so much control over the process that they can’t lose power.  That is what was behind Joe Biden’s speech: a tired old man who didn’t even have the gas in the tank to sell communism any longer.  He was running for president to keep his family out of jail because, in his warped way, even though he likes to take showers with his daughter and he has a crackhead son, he loves his family and doesn’t want them to suffer for the sins he committed while climbing for power.  And they will do anything they have to do to stay in power.  Including adopting the Marxist playbook.  Biden can’t afford to be a moderate, as he has sold himself in the past.  Because if he doesn’t support the communist playbook, he’ll have far worse trouble.  So, all he could do was throw people off the scent by declaring himself a capitalist.  Nothing in his speech indicated that he even remotely understood what that was.

Thinking Big With Starship: How to ask the right questions to the answer we all know

I don’t think it’s getting nearly enough attention, and that is the launch of Starship 3, which occurred at the SpaceX facility in Boca Chica, Texas, on March 14th 2024.  I would place that effort as one of the top events in the human history of the world and will forever be remembered as a great leap for mankind, a leap more significant than the first moon landing with Neil Armstrong.  I know some people believe that the moon landing was faked, and based on this government and the temptations of government propaganda, I can certainly understand that.  But Neil Armstrong lived near me and was never the same after it, and his exploration into Ecuador, looking for the secret library of an ancient race of people, revealed more than what has been said under classified breaths over the years.  And humanity has been waved away from space travel, which should have never happened, for our governments have behaved like jealous parents who are afraid of their children moving out of the house.  They have done everything they can to stifle the human race from reaching into space, which has been ridiculously stupid.  But then comes along Elon Musk and SpaceX to make good on a promise not so long ago, 19 years or so, to take civilization into space, and their launch vehicle, Starship, is a tremendous engineering feat to perform just that.  And that it flew into space and achieved many of the mission parameters was stunning, and jaw-droppingly significant.  I was watching the launch from Japan with friends, and I can tell you that the next day, many people I met were stunned by what had happened.  At breakfast at the top of the Oriental Hotel in Kobe, a couple of Americans celebrated with me in a moment that no matter where people were in the world or what their politics were, the launch of the Starship into space successfully, and it maneuvered and was able to behave like an actual spacecraft was more than just another significant event.  Life is much better off because of this magnificent achievement, but a company that could only be born in America and produce such an independent objective on a massive scale was more than encouraging.  It was validating.   When you want to understand the miracles of capitalism, look at SpaceX and that Starship launch.

As I spoke to people after the launch, I was thrilled to hear that the essential philosophy of SpaceX came up.  Probably the greatest philosopher of our modern age was Douglas Adams, the author of the five books of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series produced during the late 1970s through 1990s.  Many people think of them as comedy writings, a kind of Monte Python literature series consistent with the type of material they produce on the BBC, precisely, Doctor Who.  However, Elon Musk is a tremendous fan of the first book, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. I am a massive fan of the second book, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe.  There are three more that are all good.  But they are excellent in what I call “conceptual faculty, ” the ability to think about something in a way that wasn’t previously achievable.  The Adams books take away through humor all the drama of origins and the meaning of life and make the universe as a whole manageable, as a way of thinking about huge things in manageable bits.  It does this by figuring out how to ask questions and providing answers.  The SpaceX philosophy has been to solve horrendously complicated engineering problems, with a Douglas Adams flair to them in what the hidden genius truly is behind the purpose of the work. 

Everything built by human intellect

The point of the books is to understand the meaning of everything, which in the book the answer is learned at the end of the first book is the number “42.”  Everything in life can be summed up by that number, which is the comic element of the literary classic.  The other four books then ask the more important question: what questions do you ask to learn the answer to “42.”  How do you ask the right questions to get to the answer?  So, from there, the critical question of any philosophic premise is to learn to ask the right things to get to the answer you wish to seek.  So, if you know you want to go to Mars as a civilization, what questions should you ask to achieve that objective?  Do you build a rocket to go there?  If so, how big, how many, what kind of fuel does it use?  How many people would fly on it?  Those kinds of things.  Once you know the answer, you can ask the right questions leading up to it.  It’s the way humans can focus their imaginations properly to achieve great things that the universe can’t do for itself.  In that way, the meaning of life is to bring meaning to it through the mechanisms of invention, which then becomes a running theme throughout the entire book series.  As I watched Starship fly in space, preparing to land in the Indian Ocean, the SpaceX method of science and invention proved Douglas Adams more correct than any other method of thinking so far utilized in the human race, and it was a pleasure to watch, which I will never forget. 

The famous Kobe Beef

Later that night, I discussed the launch with some knowledgeable people, and we talked about its significance.  We were on the top floor of a costly bar, looking out at one of Japan’s most cosmopolitan cities, Kobe.  We had just finished at a very top-class restaurant eating Kobe Beef where the cook explained to me that the way they made their sweet potatoes so sweet was that they kept them in a dark container to keep the light from damaging the cell structure of the food, which gave it a unique taste.  Just as Kobe Beef had the human imprint of cultivating nature with intellect to get a distinctive flavor.  And I pointed out to these brilliant people that everything we saw, from the fancy whiskies available in abundance around the bar to the stacks and stacks of buildings we could see as far as the eyes would allow, all started with human intellect taking the tools of nature and bending them to the will of human imagination for a purpose that is our answer for the number “42.”  Things are worth doing, and most importantly, unleashing the shackles of the human race with a proper philosophy that teaches us to ask the right questions is the purpose of our lives relative to the universe and everything in it.  Governments try to suppress this universal need for their silly attempts to be gods and the centers of power relative to their place among the stars.  But when an intellect like Douglas Adams unleashes those limits through art, and someone like Elon Musk and companies like SpaceX put that thinking to full use, magnificent things can and do happen.  And I have a feeling we are seeing just the start of a splendid future that will quickly outgrow the politics of Earth and need to be redefined by the needs of the human race and the tools the universe provides for the answer to everything, that exists just outside the known universe, and its multiverse brothers and sisters, to the heart of it all.  And we must ask and fulfill the many trillions of questions to get there.   It’s all very fascinating.

Humans strive for greatness and the questions we need to get us there.

Rural People Were Never Going To Submit to Big Parental Government: The panic by global progressives in what they are watching happen

As I wrote this one I was traveling all over the world, I was in an airport in Tokyo waiting for a connecting flight, and the nature of politics was obvious.  If you only get your news from American news sources and, from there, captured assets like CNN and The New York Times, you probably won’t understand.  But this game that progressives have built for themselves, specifically that some magical mechanism would come along, such as the internet and centralized surveillance, and that they would be able to steer people toward their political sentiments.  They counted on all that working, perhaps, too much.  And if they had a more “global” perspective at the time, they would have saved themselves a lot of pain.  No matter where they come from, most people want the same things, which was just as accurate in Tokyo as in the dusty streets of an impoverished African economy. People generally want less government in their lives so not to slow them down from the things they want to do, and they aren’t going to vote for more government to give them more access to all the intrusions that the government imposes by default.  People would never support life with too much government that made their lives more challenging moment by moment.  And that becomes excessively obvious when you travel; the further, the better.  The idea that people would support more government even in parts of the world already choking on socialism, communism, or some mashed potatoes version of the two, that they would have an infinite tolerance for political abuse, has just not been correct.  So dismantling their assumptions is almost comical, even if it is the end of the world for them.  I have tried to tell them, but they didn’t listen, and this essentially starts as a strategy that was started at the World Economic Forum and flowed through to government attempts of the United Nations.  The planners for all these central planned communities assumed that everything would magically work out if they could manage the entire world through the various large cities.  And that just has not been the case. 

Even as I talk about travel on the other side of the world and the perspective of people in general, I pointed this out after the last election, where I traveled all over the United States to ensure that my assumptions were not just regionally driven.  I live in a pretty conservative area, and even with transplants coming in from the various coastal communities, they are generally running away from big government, not embracing it, even if intellectually they don’t understand why.  But it was easy for me to confirm that no matter where you go in America, once you get out of the city limits of even the most blue-led city, people do not support big, intrusive governments anywhere.  And this realization has stoked a lot of panic among Democrats, who are learning now all too late that people could not be controlled to the level they thought.  The only way that places like China, Russia, and Europe could apply centralized governments with too much authority and got away with it was because people didn’t know better as it happened.  However, in a free country like America, where people can talk about things and assume a smaller government, their natural reaction to too much government growth will be hostile.  And we’d end up with the problems we are seeing now, where tight micro-managed communities run by blue-state governors would quickly lose their power and influence further away from the big cities where people lived. 

Most people are willing to have reasonable concessions about government intrusion if they are themselves timid types who never grew up away from their parents and still have dependency problems for which the government becomes a fantasy-oriented replacement.  So, they go to the government for transportation, price controls, and general, orderly services for their safety and security.  Looking at the situation in Japan, in one of the most populated areas on earth, Tokyo, there are a lot of people willing to accept big government as long as they can get some sense of security in their daily lives, to be able to get to work, take care of their families, and call the police if they had a crime problem.  But this Democrat idea behind the World Economic Forum, that free people would select an intrusive, micromanaging government that would steer society into electric cars, they didn’t want a paperless society that was more of a pain in the neck, making life too complicated when technology failed and being told that men and women weren’t what they were and that people could decide for themselves what sex they were, that these where things people would accept was insane.  And a clear overreach by those desiring centralized planning.  The panic they are experiencing now is that they couldn’t take away people’s desires for free will, even after trying for over a century.  Given a choice, they pick President Trump.  This has been devastating news for much of the big government world, which did not see it coming.  It was obvious to me, and I’ve been trying to tell people.  But they didn’t listen. 

This government ratio thing is not a Republican or Democrat kind of deal; it’s a human condition, and people who do not understand people turn to the government to use the power of collectivism to impose on people things they wouldn’t choose to do for themselves.  That power went to people’s heads, and they were the wrong kind of people—people broken with undeveloped minds.  Parents who had a dependent child-like mind tended to support Democrat policies, instead of someone used to doing things for themselves, as we find in areas outside American cities or all across the world where people desire to be free of intrusive governments, have jobs, and care for their families.  The games of liberalism were never created in logic but in fantasy.  Even the most robust political scientist have found their political theories rooted in the same stupidity as those who told us to wear masks for COVID and that climate change meant we all needed to give up our gas-powered cars in exchange for something that was much more expensive, didn’t go nearly as far, and gave us a lot less freedom.  As I traveled through that bustling Tokyo airport talking to people, most people only saw it on television or read about it in a magazine. The relationship to small government was not just an American thing.  And when you talk to people at the sushi bar or the grocery, when they find out you’re from America, they don’t ask about Joe Biden.  They ask about Trump.  They know Trump and would like to have their own version, no matter where they happen to be.  And you know why? Trump means more prosperity and more freedom for individuals.  It is the opposite of a big nanny government that replaces the micromanaging parent in people’s lives.  People might sympathize with that intrusive parent but don’t find themselves drawn to them.  And so it’s no surprise that people did not fall for the snake oil of big government as Democrats proposed it.  And that the power they thought they’d have over the 2024 elections was not, in reality, what they thought they’d end up with.

Follow the Constitution and Everything Will Work Out: The 9-0 Supreme Court vote against removing Trump from the ballot

As I said all along and spent several videos explaining, the Supreme Court decision on President Trump was evident from the start, and even some of the Democrat-leaning judges had to vote in support of keeping the president on the ballot, shutting down the efforts in Colorado and other states of removing him ahead of the elections in 2024.  It was a 9-0 decision that any attorney should have understood clearly.  Yet, the caution in this story is how many experts incorrectly advised that there was a danger.  This reminder is something I have said with increasing frequency: these challenges to the American Constitution in the courts are coming purely from a Marxist standpoint.  These are attempts at case law by a liberalized Bar Association connected to European efforts at establishing a post-constitutional legal foundation rooted in the United Nations, and they have nothing to do with American law.  This is an effort of the global citizen movement at a one-world government to manipulate elections and undo American sovereignty.  It has been an effort to destroy the concept of American law and certainly had no intentions of justice or fairness.  In this case, as in many, the hope was to challenge Constitutional parameters and achieve an excuse for the courts in the future that would change how everything was done, with a more global perspective in mind.  Legally, that is why I advocate on behalf of our Constitution and Bill of Rights specifically as some of the best philosophies ever produced, and it can’t be abandoned over some slack-jawed Marxist attack on our legal system.  However, that was always exactly what the attempt was to take Trump off the ballot in several states.  It should have been viewed as an insurrection and clearly showed intent to commit election fraud.  However, anybody reading the Constitution as law would know that this was a case that was never going to go in the way of the Marxists and yet another attempt by the radical political left was going to fail to stop Trump from an office he deserves, and had won in 2020 if not for the actual insurrection, the stolen election that many thousands thought they would get away with but haven’t.

The danger is what people who should know better said leading up to the Supreme Court verdict.  It is terrifying how stupid so many people could be, besides the Secretaries of State who advocated the challenge to the Constitution.  They didn’t have a solid legal review to understand a case going to the Supreme Court and had so little standing.  Yet they did it anyway and talked about it in the media as if even a traffic cop judge in Illinois was going to be able to knock Trump off the ballot to keep Old Man Loser Joe in the White House.  How many thousands of hours of commentary were done on television and radio by people who should have known better and who believed Trump could be removed from a national election in such a way?  It’s astonishing how many stupid people there are out there and what they say in public.  I never thought the case had a five-second chance in the Supreme Court, and that was precisely what happened.  As I listened to the reasoning of so many legal experts, I would shake my head, wondering where they were getting these dumb ideas on legal standing from, and as it turns out, they were woefully ignorant of the law and hoping with more than luck that their control over the law was going to advance their cause. 

I said much the same thing during COVID-19 when so many governors were openly violating the law of the Constitution with lockdowns and mandates that the government did not have the power to enact.  I told everyone then, just as I did in this voting viability case, that the government would lose in court every time someone challenged them, which is what happened.  COVID-19 died on the vine because people started to figure out about nine months into the lockdowns that the government could not do what they were doing.  After all, the COVID lockdowns came from European challenges to an American legal system assuming that globalism would override regional legal standards.  Suppose it hasn’t been evident to everyone. In that case, this is a reoccurring theme, even regarding open border policy, that the sovereign nature of law has been attacked and challenged excessively by the radical left, a European export.  And under the chaos of radicalism, the hope has been to get American judges to blink and rule in ways that would erode the concept of law by exploiting ignorance in such a devastating way.  However, the COVID cases fell apart quickly once people started getting court victories due to the unconstitutional mandates the government enforced during COVID-19.  This is why the Constitution is all about limited powers the government can have, not infinite power.  This is also why America has been so prosperous because the laws empower individuals to function without the tyrannical government disrupting their lives as much as they do in other places around the world.  So long as America has a Constitution that keeps the government in check from the radicalism they are inclined to against personal rights, much of the Marxist efforts around the world for global communist governments will fail under the weight of competition. 

As dark and evil as things have looked over the last three to four years if I’ve said it thousands of times over that duration, I’ll say it just as much going forward.  If people stick with the Constitution, things will end up making a lot more sense.  The people who lied to the public regarding this Colorado case of taking Trump off the ballot, hoping to beat him before there was ever an election because everyone knows that they cheated in 2020 to give Biden 81 million votes.  There is no real support for Biden, there never was, not in 2020 and certainly not in 2024.  Biden is a theater production of misfits and losers who thought they could challenge the American Constitution, even get rid of it by the time 2024 came around.  They never counted on a Supreme Court to vote 9-0 on anything by the time we arrived at the next election.  And that so many people were willing to lie to the public tells you everything you need to know about why preserving the Constitution is the best way to function in society, no matter where in the world someone might be.  Without the American rule of law that keeps government power in check, the corruption intended by open Marxists everywhere will ruin the world for everyone in it.  But so long as there is an America and a Constitution that governs its laws, we will all come out fine in the end.  So long as people preserve the Constitution and stand by it under assault, as we all did with this Trump case and any others that are put forward for the same dumb reasons.  These challenges in the courts are no different than the communist revolutions that have toppled many countries over the years. Still, in this case, they are coming out in courtrooms rather than domestic terrorists from the Weather Underground.  But they are terrorists just the same, and so long as people follow the Constitution, then the power of government to protect itself from justice as they have been caught committing crimes will prevent them from their menace and keep people free of their intentions.

How Corruption Begins: When the power of government is used for personal gain

Everyone has different ideas about corruption, its appearance, how it was born, and the cost of it to civilization.  But I did get a clear view of it recently while at an event involving Don Jr. at Lori’s Roadhouse for a campaign event with Bernie Moreno, supporting him for senate.  At those kinds of positive events, there are always political people who show up, and as I arrived, I ran into Darbi Boddy, who wanted to attend and show support for the people there.  But, as this is a story that has all kinds of bad elements to it, Isaac Adi, the other school board member that I had been involved with to put conservatives on the board at Lakota schools; there has been a restraining order put in place keeping Darbi from being 500 feet from Isaac, essentially preventing her from attending school board meetings, because a bunch of political people want to get rid of Darbi off the school board and they are using Isaac to challenge her in court over a dispute the two of them have had where he claimed he was concerned for his safety.  This has resulted in Darbi losing her CCW and being unable to attend any event where Isaac was also present.  So when Isaac shows up at some political event that Darbi is at, she has to get up and leave, by the court order.  It’s an entirely ridiculous notion that a woman the size of Darbi was going to be some physical threat to Isaac Adi, who is a reasonably good-sized person, but that is what happens when your courts are corrupt and politics takes over logic.  As it stood, Darbi wanted to see Bernie Moreno, so I met her in the parking lot and scouted out the venue to make sure Isaac wasn’t there, which he wasn’t, so she entered and talked to people as she normally would.

About twenty minutes later, Isaac arrived, and as I watched him enter the building, I saw him walking in a way I had not seen before.  I’ve known him for a while and tried to help Isaac on several occasions, so I came to know him as a compassionate, nice Christian man.  This person he has become during his first two years on the school board was surprising to me.  I was most disappointed in him when he joined the labor union in laughing at my name when it was brought up in a school board meeting, as he joined the crowd in a mob-like free-for-all.  The criticism didn’t bother me; I expected that.  But that he played a part in it bothered me because I thought he was a better person than that and would not participate in those kinds of things.  But it wouldn’t be the first time someone like this let me down.  So I took note of it and moved on.  I have talked to Isaac occasionally, but I gave up on him over a year ago as he was politically useless.  It was an experiment that was tried, but when Lynda O’Connor went off-script, Isaac’s political future was tossed out the window.  So any interaction I had with him was minimal.  I had not seen enough of him to reveal the person he had become since he got caught up in this lawyer scam against Darbi, and the power of the courts had gone to his head in genuinely destructive ways.  He entered the building to sign in like Connor McGregor entering an MMA fight; he was slinging his arms out, counterbalancing his large belly in a very theatrical way, which was interesting.

Upon seeing this, I went to find Darbi to tell her that Isaac had arrived.  She immediately gathered her things to leave.  I offered to give her my hat and jacket so she could sit on the opposite side of the room, far away from Isaac, and attend the political rally anyway.  Nobody would have known the two of them were even close.  She declined the offer and said she had to honor the court order, so she left.  The whole thing was ridiculous; this court order put upon her for purely political reasons was taking away her liberty senselessly, and people weren’t doing anything about it to defend her, and all that power that Isaac suddenly had over her had gone to his head.  And he was enjoying that power way too much.  For something that was legally questionable, to begin with, it now was a power that a person like Isaac had over people in his community, a political rival, that was the most concerning.  And since I had not interacted with him much over the last few years, the corruption was evident.  What he was now was built by the corruption of politics and was a good lesson of everything that can go wrong and often does.  I knew him when the effort at elected office was full of good intentions, and he was promising.  And I can think of hundreds of people I have known, just like Isaac, who all started the same way.  But thousands of compromises later, and their shelf life near expiration, most of them fail and become corrupt to some level or another, and it was shocking to see how far Isaac had fallen in such a short time. 

When people stop doing what they know to be right or even think to be correct and serve institutional concerns, the process of corruption begins.  Then, corruption takes root when people like Isaac learn the kind of power they can have over other people given to them by the power of politics.  Soon after, they become one of the many who learn that institutional power compensates people who lack private power, so they seek the power of government to do what they lack the courage to do themselves.  And that is clearly what happened with Darbi and Isaac on the Lakota school board.  He lacked personal courage and was quickly swept away by the corrosive forces that enjoy making vast amounts of money off an institution that collects taxes from the public and distributes it for power, using children to extort the villainy.  And once he learned that he could have a lot of power from appeasing the institution over his values and peer groups, he knew what that power could give him.  In this case, he was able to meet celebrity political figures, and he could force Darbi to leave and deny her the same enjoyment through the power of the courts, which was given to him for other reasons, all corrupt in their own way.  We say corrupt because the relationship intends to abuse government power for personal gain.  Isaac might be a pawn in that game, but the seduction of the abuse of it was something he was enjoying, which encouraged more of the same behavior.  When the law is used to support personal power and punish other people who challenge that power, it is corrupt.  And when you look at the many millions of other such cases nationwide for many of the same reasons, you can see how our political landscape has become so corrupted.  The temptations to fall to corruption are too much for most people, and that is the case with the Lakota school board and the reason that Darbi Boddy had to leave that event.  Not because it was the right thing to do, but because political power had been abused to give power to private people they otherwise would have never had, if not for the power that government offers people willing to abuse it.

If you Vote for the Fairfield School Levy, You’re Stupid: What really causes communities to fail

I’ve said it for years, and it’s just as relevant today as it ever was, perhaps more so.  If you vote for a school levy, you’re stupid.  That’s what Darryl Parks and I always said on WLW radio when I was a frequent guest.  Many of our old interviews are still on my YouTube site, where we talked about why in a thousand different ways.  When he was the program director for Clear Channel Radio, we spent many hours discussing what had come true in public education today, well before anybody else realized it, and nobody can’t say that they weren’t told.  It was just an inconvenient truth that nobody wanted to admit to.  When they thought of public school, they thought about school jackets, class rings, homecoming dances, and the social aspects of being around other kids.  But public school designed by socialists, Marxists, and outright communists under John Dewey was never intended to teach anybody anything useful.  It was always about social controls that would last the duration of people’s lives with liberalized sentiment and submission to authority, which served the notion of big centralized governments.  And the entire system has collapsed on itself.  Finally, people have admitted that sending their kids to public schools was something they’d instead not do if they could get away with it. Suppose they could afford a private school or some other alternative.  And that is the state now where there are massive waiting lists for alternative schools to the government school option at the center of everyone’s community.  It’s taken many years, and COVID was the final straw, but people have finally admitted that the public school option is one they’d love to get away from for the benefit of their children.  Based on what we know now, if you are choosing to send your kid to public school, it’s more for your convenience than that you love them.  Nobody would choose to send a kid to a public school and, in the same sentence, mean it when you said to them, “I love you.”  Those things do not go together.

And so it goes; knowing all that, my wife and I were shopping at Bridgewater Falls in Fairfield, and we noticed all the yard signs advocating for a new tax levy for Fairfield Schools.  Fairfield is a school district neighboring Lakota, where I live, and they have been flirting with a new levy in Lakota for several years.  Public schools were designed to burden a community, so everyone has to go through a kind of divorce with their government schools where property values are perceived to be directly connected.  For years, it has been thought that people move into or out of a community based on the quality of the schools.  That’s what real estate people will tell you anyway, but that has, too, been a lazy way to manage school districts.  Government schools that are controlled by radical leftist teacher unions with consistently high wage rates in mind have no means to generate more money to pay their staff but ever-increasing burdens on their property taxes.  So the game continued; home values would increase, making more taxable revenue available for the government schools to confiscate.  That money is then used to program the next generation of children into the ways of Democrat politics, anti-God sentiments, transgender bathrooms, and racial politics, making for much of their youth, future Democrat voters.  Public schools are essentially teaching anti-family and a replacement of domestic concerns with obedience to centralized government. 

So the longer a community survives this process, the more burden and expensive those government schools become before there is a collapse, and the following community with the next shiny thing becomes the new destination, leaving the old community behind and used up.  That has been the story of several communities around Butler County, especially Fairfield, where I have much experience.  My wife and I were married and went to church there for many years when it was a destination community for many people all over the country.  I have watched this government school game for a long time, and behind it all is the communist intention to attack private ownership.  We are seeing this trend in Liberty Township, within the Lakota district now, where apartments and lower-cost living seek to attract lower-income people who don’t own so much private property.  It’s not a massive conspiracy; I know all the trustees involved.  They are nice enough guys.  But it’s in the handbook of community development, written by the same dumb people from the United Nations who designed these horrible public schools.  What could go wrong with a community entirely of apartments and people who vote but don’t own property?  Then, people who own property are squeezed out of their homes with high taxes, and before you know it, the tax rates are too high and unmanageable, and people move away once their children grow up and start lives of their own somewhere else.  In the background of all these apartments and condos is the hope that the children will stay in the community when they grow up if only affordable options exist.  But what you end up with is Democrat voters until they grow up and take on more responsibility by starting a family of their own.  So they vote for school levies, but their landlords end up having to pay the taxes, and the schools achieve one of Karl Marx’s goals: the destruction of all private property.  We have seen this cycle everywhere, and Fairfield has suffered from it.  Most of their best companies picked up and left because the taxes were too high, the same story that could be told in every community around Butler County, Ohio, for the last four or five decades.  The Lakota schools are watching if any of these levies pass so they can try independently for their own.  We have managed to keep the taxes low in Lakota because plenty of people have a hostile reaction to the prospect of higher property taxes.  However, the system was built to fail in every way, providing a tempting lure to busy parents, free babysitting while they work, and dual income lives to pay for all this mess. 

However, changes are coming with another Trump administration; serious reforms to public education will happen by eliminating the Department of Education, which should have occurred during the Reagan administration.  But the communists fought to prevent it with the standard fear tactics, which Reagan listened to.  And so we have had this uncompetitive socialist model ever since, and Trump is poised to change it.  And to that point, the most apparent change will be that any federal dollars will follow the child, not the zip code.  That will mean that Fairfield, Lakota, Mason, and several other government schools along the outer loop of I-275 will have to fight to have children in their schools to access the funds that come with them.  And their cost structure will be challenged severely, which would be great.  Many teachers at Lakota schools make over six figures, which is a big part of their quarter of a billion-dollar yearly budget. If you have attended a school event anywhere lately, you will see many of these teachers can afford to miss a sandwich or two.  They are not specimens of excellent health, let’s just put it nicely.  The entire system is poised to fail, whether levies are approved or not.  And knowing all that, if you vote for a school levy, as I have said for several decades, you are stupid.  It’s silly to vote for any public school for more money that they are just going to waste on radical Democrat teachers.  And until we change that, it’s stupid to give them even a penny more.
