Lets Talk About The Future Governor of Ohio: Vivek Ramaswamy announces a great opportunity in West Chester

These opportunities don’t come along too often when people like Vivek Ramaswamy want to run for governor on a political path that will entail a lot of high offices.  But to be governor of Ohio at this particular juncture in history is quite a remarkable idea.  Something that just a few months ago didn’t seem possible.  Yet it is true; I know it is because I am playing a role in sponsoring this announcement by Vivek on February 24th at 5:30 PM in West Chester.  And I am thrilled to be a part of it because I like Vivek Ramaswamy.  I would have thought he would be directly involved in the Trump administration after the President was elected to a second term.  Vivek Ramaswamy was set to partner directly with Elon Musk to run D.O.G.E., which is the hottest thing in the world right now.  So, it would have been a perfect next chapter for Vivek Ramaswamy.  However, in the weeks before Christmas, some very good friends of mine, who are very close to Vivek, told me what was cooking down at Mar-a-Lago with Trump wanting to clear the decks for Vivek to run for Governor of Ohio, and that was exciting news indeed, and I was instantly supportive.  I thought it was a good move for DeWine to appoint Jon Husted to J.D. Vance’s senate seat because now J.D. was in the White House with Trump. Husted had wanted to run for governor, but I supported David Yost instead.  But then, Vivek Ramaswamy didn’t look like he would be available at that Ohio high office.  However, a mission is going on in the background to make Ohio no longer a “rust belt” state but the center of the technological universe, starting with aviation and aerospace, then migrating to computer chips and fuel production.  So it didn’t take me long to grab on to this opportunity, which was a chance of a lifetime to get an excellent MAGA governor in Ohio and to do big things that had not been possible up to now.

I like David Yost, the current attorney general.  I liked the idea of a law and order governor who would be hard on crime and support the Trump administration’s border policies.  Yost is a big guy, the last time I saw him personally, he was wearing a big cowboy hat, and I loved the idea of him being an option for governor.  But for all things Ohio, Vivek also gives us a great law and order presence, and we get all the economic goodies, too.  It’s nothing against David Yost, but everyone has a role that they are good at, and with Vivek, he’ll be able to cheerlead along projects that are unique to him on the tech side of things.  Ramaswamy is a new generation of political figures who are self-made and energetic, working feverishly around the clock to do great things.  David Yost is a more traditional politician.  He’d be much better than the current Mike DeWine, but he wouldn’t be much different from the governors we’ve had.  He’s not Vivek Ramaswamy, who is probably the best orator in the world right now.  And he has a long runway.  I love seeing people in his age bracket, not yet 40, poised to do these big jobs because it’s the juice for a good living cascading off their administrations.  Not that David Yost is a one-trick pony; there is much to say about law and order.  But Vivek Ramaswamy is the whole racehorse, which is a safe bet on a successful race.  Knowing what I do about the great things in the background that are part of Senator Lang’s business first caucus, this opportunity with Vivek Ramaswamy doesn’t come along in too many lifetimes. 

I want to see Dave Yost get behind Vivek and do something that he is specifically good at, such as a continuation of law and order enforcement.  There are plenty of good things to do, and I don’t want to see Yost damaged politically in a run against Vivek.  There’s just no reason for that other than ego.  Everyone should find their way in this MAGA movement.  But Yost is crazy if he thinks Trump will endorse him over Vivek Ramaswamy.  There is no reason to have anybody in the MAGA movement embarrassed because there are plenty of jobs for everyone.  There is no scenario where David Yost is on a debate stage with Vivek Ramaswamy, and Yost doesn’t come out on the losing end.  And because I like Yost personally, I don’t want to see that happen to him.  Vivek will win the GOP nomination in Ohio easily, and he will then have to take on from the Democrats the old subject of millions and millions of words that I have written about her, Amy Acton, who has announced that she too is running for Governor.  Which I think is hilarious.  But she’s the best that Democrats have, which is another problem.  She must be tone-deaf not to understand how much people in Ohio hate her after what she did with COVID-19.  The pot-smoking hippie chick persona she has will not play well, as people have tried to forget about her for all her ridiculous Covid lockdowns.  Here she goes, wanting to remind everyone of her role, which is one of the greatest mistakes Ohio has ever experienced.  She cost Ohio billions of dollars and a lot of misery; she’s the opposite of a personality like Vivek Ramaswamy.

Also, I think Amy Acton plays better with sympathetic voters who believe in second chances on a stage with David Yost, who comes across as too stoic than the compassionate Amy Acton.  Many women will undoubtedly choose Amy Acton over David Yost because that’s how emotional voters vote.  It’s probably why Amy Acton thinks that enough time has passed since the Covid disaster, and now, she can get back out and show herself to the world again.  But on a debate stage with Vivek Ramaswamy, there is no way she can win anything.  She has too much baggage, and she’s too slow, and Vivek could decimate her with a smile on his face and still give any supporter of her a reason to vote for him without feeling guilty about it.  It’s hard not to like Vivek, and he can debate anybody about anything without coming across as vicious and combative.  You don’t need to bash people over the head when you are as good as he is.  So Vivek Ramaswamy is in a class all by himself, and if you want to see him in person, just let me know before the 24th.  It’s not just a chance to see the future governor of Ohio, but I think a future President.  Vivek has a lot of runway ahead of him.  There’s room for J.D. Vance and other MAGA personalities, too.  I’d like to see them all tag team those efforts and not fight against each other, as I am suggesting, with David Yost getting behind Vivek’s run so that he can do different things that he’s good at.  The goal is to carry the MAGA movement to as many nationwide offices as far into the future as possible.  And for now, 8 years of Vivek Ramaswamy in Ohio as governor could make our state a bigger economy than the country of Taiwan is now.  Bigger even.  But it takes the right people in the correct positions, and for this opportunity in Ohio, Vivek Ramaswamy is it.  I’m very excited to support him in this fabulous announcement.

Why You Should See ‘Flight Risk’: Setting up ‘The Resurrection’ in all its Book of Revelation glory

As of this writing, you can still see the new Mel Gibson movie, Flight Risk, in the movie theater, which you should do.  It’s such a good movie that you should not finish reading this before you do, you should rush to see it while you still can.  I’m sure the movie will be on streaming services soon, but this is one of those movies that is a point in history and is a bridge to other great things.  And we should all support a movie like this by going to the theater to see it because there is a bigger picture coming together here.  I personally love Mel Gibson.  I understand Mel Gibson.  And I think, as a filmmaker, he is one of the best there will ever be.  Ironically, back in my high school days when Mel Gibson was on his way to being considered by women to be the sexiest man alive, I had several teachers who wanted to date me as an underage opportunity because I reminded them of Mel Gibson, with that crazy kind of energy that was about to blow apart in a moment’s notice.  Those similarities might have been actual from a visual appearance and aspects of personality, but unlike Mel Gibson, I didn’t drink, smoke or even curse.  But I was always a fan of him in serious movies like The Bounty, The River, the Lethal Weapon movies, and Bird on a Wire with Goldie Hawn.  Mel Gibson was at the top of Hollywood society until he directed The Passion, which took the world by storm.  And Hollywood went into a shock.  Their wild playboy and king of the box office had turned against them with a dramatically Christian movie that cut to the core of all human corruption, and it made them angry.  And they cut Mel Gibson from the business from that day on.  Gibson is a great actor in front of the camera, but he’s even better as a director.  After The Passion, he directed Apocalypto, one of my favorite movies ever.  But by then, Hollywood essentially ran Gibson out of Hollywood until very recently.

But Mel Gibson didn’t just go away; he has been silently plotting to take on evil as he sees it in the background for the last twenty years.  He has appeared in a few movies here and there and directed a few as well, but he has only done enough to stay relevant in the business so that he could direct his long-thought-of masterpiece, a sequel to The Passion, called The Resurrection of Christ.  I think it will be the Braveheart of Christian films and that when it comes out, probably for Easter of 2027, the world will change because of it, and we want some of these movie theaters to still be open for that theatrical experience.  With Trump back in the White House and appointing Mel Gibson to be an ambassador of the Administration in Hollywood, fate has changed in Mel Gibson’s favor, and he will take his shot to make his long-dreamed-up masterpiece.  And this movie, Flight Risk, was done to open the door for the business side of making that movie, which will start shooting with many of the original actors in 2025.  The way the movie business works is you have to make studios money along with some investors, and Mel Gibson had to put some money in some people’s pockets to advance The Resurrection forward.  Hollywood will completely melt down over this movie, but some people are happy to go against the grain and invest in a project like The Resurrection, so long as they know that Mel Gibson still has the goods and can pull it off.  That is what Flight Risk is, and it’s a movie that is unusually brilliant and bold. 

What’s impressive about Flight Risk is that it’s a movie about high crimes and corruption at the top of our social structure, and yes, all the bad guys get it in the end.  However, the movie has only three actors, and the drama takes place on a little prop plane flying across Alaska over endless mountains. Most of what drives the narrative are people talking on a cell phone or airplane radio.  There are a few other people at the beginning and end of the movie, but it’s a very Hitchcock-like experiment in minimalism.  Mel Gibson is showing off his narrative ability with a camera by doing what few other people would ever dare to do in professional entertainment.  The special effects aren’t excellent.  There is no booming soundtrack.  There are no technical awards for outstanding achievements in film.  It’s just three people in an airplane flying over mountains for most of an hour and a half, and it is very compelling.  Mark Walberg stars in the movie, but otherwise, these people do not inspire people to go to the movies.  Michelle Dockery and Topher Grace are the real stars of the film.  Otherwise, it’s just those three actors for the entire film.  During a weak part of the year, the film has been number one for Lionsgate and has made a profit as the budget was set extremely low, made for about as little money as you can make a movie like this these days.  It hit around 40 million worldwide and has been a slow burner.  But it sets up Mel Gibson to knock the ball out of the park with The Resurrection because, in an economy of scale consideration, the margin on the film shows Mel knows how to hit it, so Flight Risk is successful on many frontiers. 

I think years from now, when people look at the miracle of something like The Resurrection being made, people will wonder how it came to be, and this little film Flight Risk will have to be the door that was opened for Hollywood to become Great Again, as a direct representation of the Trump White House.  To tell a compelling story with no money and just three actors on an airplane running out of gas is a great filmmaker showing off to set up much bigger things, and ultimately, that’s where all this is going.  My wife and I had an excellent date going to see it.  We were out shopping for some ties for some of my suits, and we had an extra couple of hours free, which was unusual, so we went to the movie next to the stores we were shopping at and saw Fight Risk.  I wanted to support Mel Gibson’s new film.  But I was also curious about what he could do with a movie like that.  And I was thrilled to see that he did quite a lot.  I have been cheering Mel Gibson on for twenty years to make the sequel to The Passion finally.  I don’t think anybody in the world could do what Mel Gibson can do with a project like that, to essentially bring the Ephesians and Book of Revelation alive from the Bible and put it on screen very dramatically.  Mel Gibson is a very flawed person; he was a womanizer, a heavy abuser of drugs and alcohol, and essentially a hard-wired lunatic.  But over time, he has grown into a man of God and is essentially the finger of justice as Heaven wishes to implement it on earth, and it has come out through the characters Mel Gibson has played and the movies he has directed.  And it all leads to one place, The Resurrection.  To put on film for the first time the wrath and chaos of the Book of Revelation in all its artistic necessity is going to be spectacular and timely. And the movie Flight Risk shows how it is possible.

Vivek Ramaswamy is Coming to West Chester to Announce He’s Running for Governor: ‘Truths’ are that Ohio can have the greatest economy

You might have heard that Vivek Ramaswamy will announce his run for governor in Cincinnati on February 24th, which I think is fantastic.  There is a long story to that, but needless to say, I’m happy to see that Vivek intends to bring to Ohio an economy that would rival the country of Taiwan.  When I first learned that Vivek was planning to run for governor with President Trump’s complete blessing, I was just a little excited by the prospect that the author of Woke Inc and three other similar books that have come out over the last few years was going to be the governor of a state I care about quite a lot.  I have never liked that Ohio was called a Rust Belt state, as if it were some washed-up carcass of years gone by.  I know Vivek a bit, as I’ve met him several times.  And I know many people who work closely with him, as very good friends.  From the first time I met him at the Middletown Republican Party headquarters at a small event where we could all talk to each other, I knew there was a lot very special about Vivek Ramaswamy.   I know what he wants to do and am very excited to see it.  Remember in December of 2024 when I told everyone about the Hyperloop in Monroe, Ohio, and longevity clinics to challenge traditional healthcare strategies? I said all those things knowing that Vivek intended to run for governor as a direct extension of the Trump administration.  That he was turning away from working with Elon Musk and D.O.G.E. to do this vital thing.  And now it’s going to be announced officially that he’s coming to his hometown to do something that I can only say could be spectacular for the State of Ohio. 

Knowing I would be a part of this announcement, I figured I’d catch up on his books, especially the last one, Truths.  I love Vivek’s books, but I didn’t read this last one as I usually would on the first day of publication or upon receiving an advanced copy because it came out in September of 2024, just a few weeks away from the biggest election of our lives.  It did a good job setting up what Trump’s next term should look like.  But I didn’t want to put the cart before the horse.  I had already read Peter Navarro’s book, which I thought would be similar to Vivek’s book at that point in the campaign, I was not nervous, but I was only thinking about getting Trump into the White House.  Then I’d catch up and think about how great it would be to do the many things Vivek outlined in his new book.  So, knowing that I would see him at his announcement, I wanted to tell him at least honestly what I thought of his book, so I picked it up and read it, and I absolutely loved it.  It was more refreshing to read a book like that, which essentially is about everything that Trump is doing in the White House at a feverish pace, in hindsight.  But I can’t say that I have enjoyed a book this much in recent memory because reading it before the election would have seemed like a remote fantasy.  But reading it after the election and seeing Trump do everything he’s doing, Vivek would know as he has been in and around the President for quite a while now, has been astonishing.  It was a pleasure to read Vivek’s Truths, knowing that we have a chance to make everything happen and then some.  Most of the time, books about politics complain about what is being portrayed to describe what could be.  But Vivek’s Truths is about what things are, Truths that are unshakable realities, and articulates the necessity to return to a more common sense world. 

Oddly enough, or maybe not so odd, I first met Vivek Ramaswamy through an introduction by Nancy Nix, the great auditor of Butler County.  And I wasn’t sure what to think of the very vivacious young man.  I sat in the front of the room just three or four feet from the future presidential candidate and now future governor and listened to his marvelous speech.  I think he’s probably the best orator in the world right now; there isn’t anybody like him.  He has a sound mind, and I instantly liked him.  I suggested a few years later that I’d like to see him be Trump’s vice president once Vivek endorsed Trump.  I thought that would be a dream team.  But Vivek is running for governor; after reading all his books, I think having him be the guy in Ohio is the best thing that could happen.  I believe that under Vivek’s leadership as governor, Ohio could become one of the world’s top economies, knocking off California.  What he’s poised to do is remarkably optimistic but not unreasonably difficult, for him.  So I get where he’s going with all this and why he’s coming to West Chester, Ohio, to make his big announcement.  Ohio can be the tech capital of the world, and with Vivek Ramaswamy as the governor and another good friend of mine, Senator George Lang, with his pro-business caucus in Columbus, the foundations for excessive greatness is a seed already planted that will grow rapidly. 

Most of all, it is by the support of President Trump that this window of opportunity most presents itself.  If Trump’s goal is to make America Great Again, Vivek’s role in all that is worthy of someone of his talents is to show that Ohio is the torch everyone else should follow.  I have been to Columbus a lot over the last several years, and at some of those momentous events, there is a pent-up energy just waiting to spring forward.  We said in those times that if only Trump were in the White House, many good things could happen.  But then there was the following question: we’d need a governor who got it and would sign things that could make great things happen that all people in Ohio would enjoy and thrive from.  And with Vivek in the governor’s chair, there isn’t anybody else in the world at this time like him.  I am very excited for Ohio to have this opportunity.  Once Vivek announces there won’t be any other candidates worth looking at, that’s not a knock against any of them personally.  This is a chance of a lifetime, and there isn’t anybody for second place.  I’m looking forward to seeing Vivek again and to hearing his official announcement.  But more than that, I am excited to see Ohio lead the country and the world in tech innovations and economic stimulation.  There is so much that only Vivek will be able to do in Ohio, and the structure is in place for him to do it behind the scenes and on the checkered floor of the Ohio Statehouse.  It just takes someone with the guts to do it, and Vivek has those guts.  And, as he said in his book Truths, he knows the truths and how to get to them in a thriving economy as a state leader and many great things to come thereafter.  These are very exciting times indeed.

The Evendale Nazis: Occult attempts to get leverage over political rivals hidden behind historical perspective

I know a lot of people, so I think I would know somebody who would be connected to the Nazi group that tried to cause some trouble in Evendale, Ohio, displaying swastikas and other Nazi imagery in an attempt to ignite a race war.  With their masked faces and an apparent effort to look like Hitler’s followers with nicely pressed clothes that looked fresh off the rack from Party City, my very first thought was that these were a bunch of government workers, probably public school teachers trying to inspire hatred by stirring up people of color to rise and fight against the daily barrage of change from the Trump administration.  It was a pathetic attempt by people who don’t know their history or understand why America is turning away from all this name-calling control and back toward tradition, to cause the kind of social unrest that the national news would cover and convince people to go in a different political direction.  It’s not working; the Marxist left is trying to portray the Trump administration and his conservative supporters as racist Nazi lovers.  The Nazis were always convenient bad guys as established in our culture, and they were, by European standards, socialists and certainly weren’t freedom-loving patriots of small government as the Tea Party movement emerged, and from that, MAGA, which put Trump in office.  These were people who didn’t know their history and who were trying to take the shame of Nazi imagery and control the public narrative of that ignorance.  There is a lot more going on with the Nazis and the administrative state population control behind the memory of that occult-based military takeover of the world that runs much deeper than modern politics.  The swastika, for instance, is one of the oldest occult symbols in the world and has been seen in just about every culture at a time when people weren’t supposed even to be able to build boats large enough to cross an ocean.  The oldest known swastika in the world so far that we have found has come out of Ukraine, 10,000 to 15,000 years ago, in the village of Mizyn.  So there was a lot more going on with these Evandale Nazis than just some government workers trying to cause a media dispute to stop the Trump administration.  It was older, occult-driven, and much more sinister but every bit as stupid.

I know more about the Marge Schott story than I would otherwise care to.  When in 1996, the owner of the baseball team The Cincinnati Reds at that time, Schott, said during an ESPN interview that “Hitler was good at the beginning, but he just went too far,” a crusade to remove her from society began, and all rational thought went out the window.  A decade before she made these comments, I knew Marge Schott through a guy who claimed to be her grandson so that he could try to date my wife, which was a whole story of its own.  Well, Marge didn’t have any kids, and in those days, I knew many people in Marge Schott’s circle of influence, so I could root the guy out for the fraud he turned out to be.  Not that he was any competition to me, but he certainly wanted my wife, and the best way to show what a deceitful liar he was, was for me to show that he was lying about who he was and connect him to a more extensive network of con artists who were pretending to be connected to powerful, wealthy, Cincinnati families to take advantage of innocent, beautiful young girls in the modeling profession.  Through all this crazy activity, I got to know Marge Schott a bit, and I always felt bad for her after the comments she made were used to essentially destroy her publicly and force the sale of the Cincinnati Reds baseball team to a different owner.  It was a clear early sign of woke behavior in using controversy to make public opinion adhere to a political message meant to control the mass population.  Marge said some things that were her genuine opinion, which were being used to control social politics and status in society in general. 

The truth is that many people supported Adolph Hitler, including the royal family of England.  After World War I, after the Treaty of Versailles, the powers that wanted to form an alliance against sovereign nations tried to use the League of Nations to rally everyone to the cause of globalism, and they went too far with the German people.  And that gave rise to Hitler, and many people followed him as a pushback against the first attempt at globalism, just as many of those same forces have tried to do with modern-day Putin and even Trump.  Not that any of these people are alike, other than they run the countries they come from, but the sticking point is that they all received public support for supporting national sovereignty over globalist trends.  When Hitler went “too far,” as Marge Schott meant, he had moved toward mass extermination of the Jewish people, for a whole list of new bad ideas that came from the power that had gone to his head. 

But what is most concerning about the Nazis and Hitler was how they connected the political party to occult practices.  This is why I have been talking a lot over the years about how much of the occult is wrapped into our modern politics, even to the point where the Elohim who work against God are political assets for modern-day Marxist incursions into an otherwise peaceful, and successful society.  The occult use of ancient symbols, such as swastikas, is an attempt to cover up just how much of a relationship many people in the world try to use from the spirit world to invoke their menace on the face of the earth.  Imagine the Genie from the popular Disney movie Aladdin being able to serve whoever rubs the magic lamp and grant wishes to the master.  To occult practitioners, that is a secret weapon they seek diligently. You find it all over modern political movements, a desire to use occult efforts to get leverage over political opponents, and the Nazis showed success in this alliance. Still, because it all went bad, the nature of that relationship was being pushed underground, so general people wouldn’t make the connection.  That’s when things start falling apart socially; in the past, these types of people have been able to invoke Nazi imagery to steer people toward some emotional catastrophe and manipulate society toward those sentiments rather than reveal their true intentions of occult concealment for mass social control.  I saw this happen up close with Marge Schott more than twenty years ago, and now well-ironed cosplay Nazis were running around Evendale trying to start a race war ahead of Trump closing down The Department of Education.  This trick had worked in the past, but people were growing tired of it because the historical references of swastika use were very shallow in the scheme of things.  The Nazis were only the most recent to use them for a relationship with something much more significant and terrifying, the religions of the world that predated human civilization as we know it today, to a time before the earth began, and the ramifications of that are horrendous to those with shallow intellects.  As I say all the time, look where there is war, such as in Ukraine, with many hidden secrets of the past that are there, and you will find people trying to hide that past through violence and emotional diatribes.  And in the case of the Evendale Nazis, we are seeing terrified radical Marxists trying to use events of the past to conceal the real problem that has been exposed by the light of day.

Flooding the Zone: They tried to destroy America, but now the shoe is on the other foot

It’s not because anybody told him to, as critics of President Trump’s furious pace of work are trying to say.  They keep referring to a 2019 statement made by Steve Bannon about flooding the zone with muzzle fire velocity as motivation for Trump to work at such a furious rate.  But what Bannon and other political strategists had been saying was evident as we were uncovering a massive amount of corruption that was looting itself off a government that was supposed to be run by the people of America.  But instead, it was taken over by thousands of cuts, all rooted in predatory lending meant to exploit us all for all they could and to sucker us to our doom.  What needed to be done was evident, and even back in the last decade, many of us, I was undoubtedly one of them, were saying what had to happen, and that was to flood the zone with action that needed to happen quickly, not at a pace of government that was controlled by the people causing all the problems.  The looting of our government was caused by the slow pace of action that our leadership structure could recognize, so was part of the scam.  And as we watched the worst of it, the Covid lockdowns and the election fraud, which was essentially a coup by the fourth branch of unelected government that had no right to exist, we knew what needed to be done if only we’d get another crack at it.  When Trump left the White House in January of 2021, things looked pretty bad, even unrecoverable.  And the newly installed Biden administration was rubbing our noses in it with crazy picks for his administration, sex in public buildings, and the disgrace of the Biden laptop.  Clearly, those hostile to America as a nation, Democrats especially, were cheerleading our destruction, and they were hiding their villainy behind the pace of change that would prevent anybody from stopping them.

Trump and all of us have had four years to think about what should have been done differently in that first term.  We learned who the suckers were in the Republican Party and began to primary them out of existence. But many thought it was too late.  I never did, but I always hoped that things would improve.  Some people think my optimism is a weakness, that I don’t live in reality.  Because, for them, reality is determined by the skill level of the participants.  If you have a bunch of losers trying to change a tire on a car, they will probably do a lousy job of it and even injure themselves.  But if it’s a NASCAR pit crew, changing a tire is not a big deal at all.  They will do it quickly, not hurt themselves with the tire iron, and probably still have time to eat a sandwich.  One thing was clear to me during all this, the world was being run by incompetent fools who would be easy to beat, if only we could Save America long enough to put Trump back in the White House for a second term.  So many thousands of us worked every day to make that happen if only Trump could survive the actual tyranny of a government completely out of control and drunk on power.  If Trump could survive the lawfare, the attempted assassinations, and a hostile global media that did everything it could to keep him in exile, then we just might have a chance.  “Might” is the operative word.  We were going through a period that the history of the world had never seen, so nobody knew what to expect. 

And I would tell people, even three years ago, when Trump is back in office, he’s going to flood the zone to undo all these anti-American actions draped over Washington D.C. and protected by a snail’s crawl of action by corrupt losers like Mitch McConnell.  Trump would have to flood the zone with action, where every day, things were happening that most presidential administrations would have considered to be the most significant things in their presidency.  Trump was going to have that kind of approach every day.  And people would laugh at me and giggle behind my back as if I were some crazy old man yearning for the good ol’ days as the world built highways around him.  Trump committed himself to the cause; if the people of America hadn’t re-elected him, he would be in jail by many of these same criminal government types for the rest of his life, and his family would have had all their future wealth stolen from them and given to the parasites of the world looking for a free handout using the government as the robber of wealth redistribution.  We all hoped that we could restore Trump to his proper place in the White House, and he dug in his heels and took on all comers like a great prizefighter, which is what we were looking for in a President.  He didn’t disappoint us.  I am very proud of Trump.  And I am very proud of the people who had the guts to cast a vote for him and to stand up against some of the worst people ever to show themselves to the human race.  I am proud of America for showing the world the light forward and for surviving this last decade or two, even going back to the George Bush days, and Clinton, and especially the parasitic socialist Barack Obama, the kid from Indonesia who openly tried to destroy America the way Islamic terrorists have plotted and schemed for many years.  We survived, and now it’s our turn to run the world. 

The plan was to destroy America, and many were hostile to our existence, so Trump, in his opening days upon returning to the White House, had to act quickly to flood the zone with action to undo all that had been applied.  So, of course, Trump has signed more than 50 executive orders in his opening weeks to stop the purposeful bleeding that had been going on, and he will continue to do so at a breakneck pace because it was the only thing that was going to save our country.  You only get one chance at this thing, so we must make it count.  We saw the teeth of the enemy, so there is no return to polite society to cohabitate with them, only to facilitate our doom.  It’s not that anybody told Trump what to do as a strategist.  We all knew what had to be done.  We just needed someone with the guts to do it and to have his back during the process, which is where we are now.  Obama used to say that if he couldn’t get Congress to work with him, he had a pen and a phone and would use it to bypass the legislative process. And we have seen that they meant an end to all of us.  So now that the shoe is on the other foot, we have to keep the ball and undo all they tried to implement and restore our country to what it was before all these Marxists of the world put a target on it for destruction.  That means flooding the zone with activity at a furious pace as soon as anything can be done and never looking back.  We have this one chance, and we have to make it count!

Yes, Trump Has to be on Mt. Rushmore: He will go down in history as the greatest leader of all time

No, it’s not too early to discuss President Trump being put on Mt. Rushmore.  In fact, I think he has to be honored in some similar way as he will be remembered forever as the greatest President America has ever had.  And the world will come to know him as the greatest leader of all time, even considering notable personalities from the past.  But honestly, I don’t think there is engineering room for another face on Mt. Rushmore.  Trump will need his own stone carving, and I suggest that the large rocks on the backside of Mt. Rushmore be turned into a full bust of Trump, complete with his suit and tie, known as the profile view.  The Mt. Rushmore complex has room to grow, and it should.  Trump needs his own carving, but it must be in the same general complex.  When the four faces of Washington, Roosevelt, Lincoln, and Jefferson were first put up, the intention was to make Mt. Rushmore much more prominent, showing more of their torsos.  But there wasn’t enough stable rock to pull it off, so we have what we have today.  Lessons learned, we could improve on future monuments.  There are some opportunities on the backside of the current complex to expand and improve how we present these things and remind future generations of significant historical moments.  And once the smoke clears, President Trump will be one of those presidencies that nobody will ever forget and will become the new standard that all presidents will be held to.  It wouldn’t be disrespectful to include Trump in the current Mt. Rushmore complex.  However, Trump needs his deal, specific to what we just went through, and the stone facing on the profile side would allow such a construction to occur without damaging the current monuments. 

How Mt. Rushmore was supposed to look. We need to make Trump’s more like this

I took my family to Mt. Rushmore during the first year of the Biden presidency, and it was quite an experience.  I would call it a religious experience for me.  It was a very dark time.  I am closer to these kinds of things than most people, as I live a very political life.  So having Biden in the White House was very painful for me personally.  As part of my recalibration efforts for my own good, I did a lot of traveling that year.  My wife and I traveled all over the United States to see it and get a sense of what we were fighting for.  You put so much time into some of these things that it makes you wonder if it’s all worth it when you witness the massive election fraud that we saw in 2020.  And the way the public dealt with the Covid rules.  Biden was a disaster, and I couldn’t watch the news with him as the president.  So, I did some major soul-searching and read a lot.  I usually read a few books a week, every week of the year.  But I was reading 3 to 5 books a week during this period.  I couldn’t get enough or read enough as I was thinking about how to get Trump back in the White House, punish all the bad people involved, and set the country right again from my perspective.  Justice had to be done, but what did justice look like?  So, I planned a massive trip with most of my family, kids, and grandkids.  We even traveled on some of these big trips with my wife’s sister, their parents, and all their kids.  It was quite a large traveling party that took on a kind of Cannon Ball Run feel to it as we traveled all over the west, out to Utah and Idaho, and we saw a lot of classic stops over several weeks at a breakneck pace.  But the best place for me was our visit to Mt. Rushmore along the way. 

One of the happiest days of my life

We stayed in Rapid City, South Dakota, for three wonderful days and could see all the sites of that area over that period.  We were traveling by RV trailers, so we had our own community of campers at our campsite that resembled a mini traveling village.  This allowed us to travel nearby Mt. Rushmore freely without pressure and return to talk about all our adventures by nightfall.  After three days in Rapid City, we picked up the entire traveling campsite and migrated to Cody, Wyoming, for another three days at Yellowstone and the surrounding areas.  So it was quite an adventure that involved a chance at a lifetime family event because we all felt the same thing.  The world had been turned upside down by the Biden administration, and we all just wanted to get off the grid for a while and see America, which we thought was worth fighting for.  We had some real life-changing memories around the Mt. Rushmore area; we saw everything, even down into Custer State Park, where we stopped on the road and had a herd of buffalo surround our car and greet us with a lot of affection.  My grandkids will never forget that experience, and looming in the distance, all the while, were the faces of Mt. Rushmore.  It was pretty spectacular.  If you have never been, I would highly suggest going.

The big rock above is where I think a full torso statue of Trump should go. With a full observation park of his own. We need a modern version of Gutzon Borglum to take lead on this

My oldest daughter and I had a particularly special moment at the park bookstore at Mt. Rushmore.  While the rest of our family went to get some snacks and see some of the museum pieces, we bought books.  Lots and lots of books.  I loaded up for road reading at the subsequent campsites I knew we would visit, especially in the desert.  And as I was buying those books, there was a big window that looked out and onto the statues of the presidents, and it was just incredible.  But as I was standing there buying nearly 50 books from the bookstore, so many of them they had to give me boxes to put in so I could get them back to my car, I kept thinking Trump needed to be on that stone mountain.  And it could happen if the complex migrated around to the backside of that current face to make it part of an expansion project.  But without a doubt, Trump would have to be on Mt. Rushmore.  If I were you, I would plan to visit it at your next opportunity.  They will do the fireworks again in 2025, and Trump is all about it.  And just in the first few months of his second term, he has done enough to justify his own monument.  But he deserved that after the first term.  And after all he’s been through, he’s not just one of the greatest presidents ever.  He is the greatest president and deserves his display in that same region so that people of all time can go there as I did and see what America truly is, which is unmistakable once you visit the area.  More people should go there to see the monuments.  If they did, they would understand what we are working to do now and why America must be defended and sold to the rest of the world for their next best option.  It did give me what I needed at a time when the world was a very dark place.  And to see what is happening now with Trump’s second term is a dream come true.  But the question is an unmistakable yes, Trump needs to be on Mt. Rushmore in his own unique way.  It just has to happen.

Controlling Demons to Try to Destroy the Trump Administration: The Lesser Key of Solomon

Among many things, I am an expert on the occult, not a practitioner.  Long before the established religions we have today, there was a cult of planet worshippers who sought the help of supernatural aid frequently, and they had sacrificial cultures designed to appease them.  I don’t even pray to God for myself, let alone conduct magic ceremonies.  I see those types of people as weak and diabolical.  I have written a lot about the evil of Aleister Crowley and Jack Parsons, one of the founders of NASA, and they believed in the help of supernatural aid to help them accomplish their desired tasks, and they were often successful.  When you study the Bible, there is a lot of communication with spirits, angels, and demons to help with earthly desires, so we should not assume that all that desire went away. Instead, I would say that the desire to have relationships with entities outside our terrestrial boundaries is as intense as ever.  If you’ve ever been to the Denver International Airport, you will start to get a good sense of it, and as is predictable, Democrat politics has festered into that specific area purposefully.  Like with Aleister Crowley and the Denver Airport, Masonic lodges are part of the story, and of course, with them, we are talking about their reverence for the ancient builders of King Solomon’s Temple, and specifically Hiram Aboff, of Tyre, who was said to be the architect of the famous temple.  And this is where I think we have to think about these supernatural entities when we ask the question about why so many evil things are happening now against the Trump administration, such as terrorist attacks, airplane accidents, and political upheaval.  To understand all those motivations, I think you can look to a simple book such as The Lesser Key of Solomon and remind yourself that many thousands of people turn to books like that in an attempt to conduct the armies of darkness against the forces of good and that many are putting curses on the Trump administration as we speak, to stop him.

This is a very ancient practice passed down over a very long period of time

Speaking of curses, just because someone intends harm on you, even from the spirit world, doesn’t mean they will succeed.  Take me, for example. I am speaking to you after four decades of ill intentions cast upon me by almost every malicious character you can imagine.  So, there are always countermeasures.  And I have studied the world’s occult practices to understand the enemy’s weapons.  But I would never use them myself.  To me, asking for help from anybody or anything is weak.  I don’t even ask for directions to a gas station from GPS.  So witchcraft or practicing magic is off the table.  I see them as just as foolish as ancient practices of demonic appeasement with human sacrifice.  But with all that said, my daughters were traveling recently and found themselves in Salem, Massachusetts, which is covered with reverence for witches and all those who think Harry Potter sorcery are a good idea.  They were in an excellent bookstore filled with books on the occult, so they took a picture and sent me an extensive sampling, asking if I wanted any of them while they were there.  I spotted one that I have had my eye on for a long time: The Lesser Key of Solomon, edited by Joseph H. Peterson.  I have read different versions of that book, allegedly written by King Solomon himself and transferred through time to the present through oral traditions and esoteric references.  So they picked it up for me, and it is quite an interesting book, to say the least.

I am working on a line of thought that I have on the Kofun tombs of Japan and how they connect to the empire of King Solomon.  These tombs are all over Osaka. I have seen them by the hundreds, and I think Solomon’s influence ended there at the Pacific Ocean along the Silk Road in ways that nobody has adequately studied or understood.  In Japan, they communicate with good and evil spirits all the time, on just about every street corner, and they call these spirits kami.  In Islam, they call them jinn.  In Western cultures, we call them angels and demons.  In Japan, it always amazes me how people openly seek to appease these spirits and help them in some way or another with incense and prayer.  So I think The Lesser Key of Solomon is one of the reasons that they built all those kofun tombs in the shape of a keyhole, as a way to lock away the people buried there from the evil menace of a hostile spirit world that might harass them in death.  You might recall, dear reader, that the story goes from the Apocrypha text removed from the Bible called The Testament of Solomon, for which The Lesser Key is an extension, that King Solomon was given by God a ring that could seal away demons and actually employed them to his wishes.  It’s an old take on the Arabian Nights stories of the Genie.  The story goes that Solomon captured all these demons to help him build King Solomon’s temple which is why Master Masons and people were so inclined to seek The Lesser Key of Solomon so that they could also command spirits like King Solomon did to build the temple and conduct his business of an empire that extended far away from ancient Israel.  That’s how Aleister Crowley and many like him from the occult practitioner sciences that predate the Hebrew people by many thousands of years get involved in all this demon worship by trying to command spirits as Solomon did for the perpetuation of some terrestrial cause. 

The critical point to remember here is not the conduct of morality attached to discussions like this but understanding the intent.  There are many people in the world, especially practicing Democrats, who seek supernatural aid to help them achieve some political cause.  And the demon world is hectic trying to grant their requests.  And I can assure everyone that all over Washington D.C., wannabe witches, and occult practitioners are trying to put a curse on everything that the Trump administration tries to touch.  So when we see all the crazy stuff in the news and wonder why so many people are doing so many bad things, it’s not always the CIA conducting some coup attempt or the FBI trying to do the same to keep Kash Patel from becoming their boss.  It goes even deeper than that to why people think what they do and how those thoughts pop into their minds.  To deal with this occult menace, we have to admit that it exists in the first place, which many are reluctant to do.  But when I see the kind of news stories that have been common since Trump was elected, I see occult attempts to stop the political tide that so many desire.  But many scandalous characters are seeking the aid of the spirit world to overthrow our political order with a lot of personal investment.  And I think it will get much worse. Yet that doesn’t mean that all these evil intentions will be successful.  All it does mean is that we must look at where the problems are and see the threats for what they truly are.  And not illusively of their origins.  And fight those fights at the doorstep of the enemy. 

What amazes me about all these images is that they look so much like Indian art, crop circles, and ancient mound construction

‘Conception Begins at Erection’: The rediculous communism of people like Represenative Anita Somani

To understand why the Ohio bill by Anita Somani is so stupid, “Conception Begins at Erection,” you have to understand that flower child Democrats who want the communist world of John Lennon’s “Imagine” are anti-family and have been working to dismantle it as the focus of their political platform from the beginning.  Their basic premise is that sex is their seductive tool to dismantle society and prevent good families from being created at any level.  So they need open, loose sex to perpetuate their intentions of social destruction, which is why they love abortion so much.  For a woman to be equal to a man and to have consequence-free sex, she must have access to abortions.  Nowhere in the Democrat platform does it question whether sex should be practiced at all without the institution of marriage being applied because sex itself is used as a tool of destruction, as introduced by the communists of Europe who migrated to America to bring down their rival generation by generation.  The communists of the hippie movement needed free love, free sex, and a lack of possession of a single-sex partner to usher in their concept of a no-possession world where nobody owned anything, especially each other.  And sex was their tool, a temptation that most human beings care a lot about and feel some urge to practice.  To achieve this hostile act, women needed to have the means to destroy the ramifications of a bad decision, whereas, in a healthy society, they would be gatekeepers of value.  If they didn’t want some scum bag, smelly dude crawling all over them jobless and with no future prospects, who was to judge.  Maybe he had tattoos, and some body piercings, and her dad wouldn’t like him, so in a flight of fancy, the young girl sleeps with the reckless despot.  Only to get pregnant and tied for the rest of her life to the mistake of a bad decision through pregnancy.  To promote further destructive social behavior, the communist left known as the Democrat Party in America needed abortion to implement their means of family destruction.

Anita Somani is one of those radical medical professionals along the lines of people like Ohio’s Amy Acton, the lunatic who shut down the State during Covid, and Dr. Fauci, who is so well known for his disastrous social policies that harmed and killed many millions of people through horrendous healthcare advice.  Too many of these healthcare professionals who have radical communist ideas have shown themselves to be destructive, and that is certainly the case for Representative Anita Somani.  She is an old hippie chick who calls female rights the right to use sex as a torpedo for bad behavior and to destroy family creation through the temptations of loose sexual practice.  Traditionally, a woman might turn away a man who didn’t have their act together for sexual interaction, and she might get pregnant as a result, a mistake that would last the rest of her life; with abortion, those mistakes were promoted.  A woman could set the reset button and try to forget that the error ever happened.  She just might be tempted to make more mistakes, which would further erode the desire to start a family, and instead would enter the workforce and compete with men for jobs and head of household status socially.  Always in the back of their plans, and in the focus of people like the Ohio Democrat Anita Somani, is the notion that all people belong to each other, that children, if produced, belong to the Democrat-controlled state, and that families should be destroyed in favor of a communist commune of social, pot smoking, despots. 

We’re now at a point where this merging of social roles has been vastly accepted, so most people think such talk sounds almost Amish in tradition.  Equality was the priority, and to make women equal to men, they had to be slugs and even reckless.  How else would women be used to be instruments of destruction when traditionally, a man would have to work hard to win the affection of a woman, especially a pretty one?  There is another problem that arises: in such a merit-based system, pretty women have an advantage over those not so attractive, and Democrats couldn’t have that.  That would mean attractive people would merge to have beautiful babies, further causing the problems of equality that Democrats were so obsessed with, making equality impossible until everyone was equally ugly.  So, to further drive home the point of irresponsible behavior, the man-hating culture of Democrats like Anita Somani wants to punish men for bad sexual decisions just because they engage in activity that results in discharging semen without the intent to produce a baby with it.  Ohio isn’t the only place where these kinds of satirical legislative proposals are being introduced.  This is a pro-abortion movement that Democrats think is cute as Trump and Republicans settle in to dismantle everything that progressives have built over the last century.  And Democrats believe this is the way they are going to win people back to their party instead of watching them bleed away and become Republicans.  Anita Somani is so tone-deaf from communist propaganda over the years, the hippie vantage point of sexual utilization to form a borderless world where nobody owns any private property, that she can’t see how dumb this proposal is under any consideration.  People are turning away from this kind of thinking and are very open to more traditional views on sexual relationships because what we have been doing has left a lot of people miserable and unfulfilled.   Several generations of this destructive behavior have alarmed society to the point where they want to make some changes.  They are moving away from people like Anita Somani, not toward them, as might have been the case during the 1970s to 2000s. 

I’ve bumped into Representatives like Anita Somani in Columbus more than I’d like to.  They are all over the place, and when you talk to them, they are as stupid as you’d think.  They have those empty eyes of social propaganda that look at you with a kind of blank stare because they only have one gear of thinking: social destruction disguised as rights and equality.  And they just can’t be reasoned with.  They are so out of touch with people that they think political stunts like this ridiculous bill will rally people to their cause of more man-hating family destruction to perpetuate their communist political platforms.  They don’t understand that the world has been turning away from them for a long time, especially now that Trump is back in office.  People want standards.  There is no higher form of government than the management of individual families.  First comes a family, then comes your community, then your state, then your country.  Only after all other things are taken care of can we worry about the world.  Not the other way around.  When you dig into the lives of people like Anita Somani, you find miserable people with lots of unhappy spouses and kids because they put their efforts into everything but their families and it shows in their homes and careers.  To cover those mistakes, they dig even deeper into communism to disguise their mistakes with social restructuring because if the rules of good conduct are changed, nobody will judge them as losers.  Which, of course, they are, and that is why their political movement is falling apart as it was always destined to do.

It Takes “Big Balls” to Reform Government Efficiency: To have a job, high performance matters

To answer a question that has come up recently from government workers shocked by the DOGE exploits of a 19-year-old young man who is known as “Big Balls,” this debate is already too late to have.  The wasteful practices of the federal government and all the massive amounts of terminations that need to be made to make government much smaller and to push those workers into the growing private sector employment will not be fought in the courts, as many hope.  It will be fought in public relations.  For instance, the poor-performing government workers at USAID will not be able to hide behind polite society and continue to underperform for the American taxpayer without exposure any longer.  I’ve been warning about this day for decades, and here it is.  Everyone was told, and they chose not to listen.  So, don’t be surprised when some wiz kid that Elon Musk hired right out of high school can come in and eliminate many government jobs with the push of a button on a laptop.  Nobody in the world is better at finding overachieving engagement from employees than Elon Musk right now; he has been very successful at finding those types of people at Tesla, SpaceX, and just about everything else he has touched.  And, of course, we see the same practices from people like this: Edward Coristine, the young man who has the world melting down as he calls himself “Big Balls.”  Well, it takes a lot of guts to step into a very corrosive work culture with the power of government behind it and tell them all that they are worthless and that they need to go.  They have been underperforming, and in the case of USAID, the Pentagon, and many other places that DOGE will be analyzing for President Trump, if you want to be great as a nation or at anything, you can’t accept underperformance.  There must be standards that define winning, and employees must meet or exceed those standards.  But coming up short was never going to be acceptable.

I’m not surprised that Musk has hired many bright-eyed young people to perform these analysis jobs, such as in the case of Edward Coristine.  I know many young people like this “Big Balls” kid.  They remind me of the old hot rod culture we used to have in America, where kids coming of age to drive could get their hands on an old car and hot rod it up so they could race on the weekends.  That kind of car culture has been taken away from kids so they have turned to computer coding.  Getting computers to do things better and faster than stock options right out of the store is what many kids like Big Balls spend all their time thinking about.  Elon Musk has given those kinds of kids homes in his companies.  They can take their passion and put it to good use right out of high school.  So, they end up with a pure view of the world that makes things easy to see.  Edward Coristine has an advantage as a young person who has not yet learned to fail.  Many people who have failed a lot in life seek a government job to hide those failures even from themselves, and they hope all their lives that nobody notices.  So, government employment has become a joke over time, and nobody feels confident in criticizing it because the power of the government might crush them for doing so.  I’ve been through all that myself, where I have been very critical of the government and have seen its wrath firsthand.  Not that it did them any good.  But I can see why Musk has people like Big Balls on his team.  It takes a person who has not lived long enough to accept failure sometimes and the ambition to change the world without learning to hold back so as not to hurt other people’s feelings to walk into a roomful of government employees and tell them they are all worthless and could be removed immediately and all their jobs could be done in the corner of the room with one guy and a second-hand laptop.  It takes Big Balls to be that honest.

I have received a lot of hate mail these last few weeks, much more than usual, which is usually quite a lot.  But the hate comes in the form of an almost mirror mirror on the wall complex where they are trying to convince themselves of their point more than me.  They think government jobs are protected and the courts will protect them from the realities of performance measures, a standard labor union fantasy.  Through mass collectivism, they can be insulated from the rigors of reality.  But of course, I say to them, generally politely, that these fights won’t be conducted in the corrupt courts, but in the realm of public opinion.  The next time we get to a government shutdown, for instance, and Congress has to vote for more appropriations, how are they going to do that when it is a PR nightmare now that people know how useless a lot of these government workers are?  They aren’t worth the money wasted on them, and the fear of continued services lost because those employees aren’t there will be removed. 

The low-engagement people will lose whenever you have a high-engagement culture fighting against a low-engagement culture.  You can’t fight against people who work 7 days a week, 24 hours a day because they love their job with people who barely work 8 hours per day, 5 days a week, even if they still report to the office, which many of them have been working from home.  Those low-engagement people will get slaughtered in the process, which DOGE brings to the table.  Not just in the one young man, Big Balls, but in many like him.  And behind him is a vast army of like-minded people who don’t want some stuffy adult government worker culture holding back their future from them.  They have more than a few reasons to be angry about how they approach their job of performance revolution.  If people are going to be in a government job, we always expect performance.  Not to hide behind some social constructs like a worthless college degree in basket weaving so that they could get into one of these government union jobs and sit on their butts for the next thirty years until they retire with a ridiculous benefits package for essentially doing nothing that whole time.  Those days are over and have been for many years.  But it’s catching up now because it took people like Big Balls to expose how useless those government workers were.  They need to be removed from that comfortable, expensive position and put into the private sector, where they must compete for a job every day.  And if they fail there, it is because in competition, they didn’t make the team.  If you want a great country and economy, you have to make it so that the people doing the work are the best.  And those who don’t work so hard are not just sitting around milking the system from the taxpayers who worked so hard to provide the funds.  Regarding Big Balls and the kind of people Elon Musk typically surrounds himself with, they are not losers who have learned from society to lose.  They are rebelling against that premise, which I think is fantastic.  This is why I have been a fan of Musk for a long time.  And I love what he is doing with DOGE.  We don’t want losers doing these government jobs; we want winners.  And the best way to do that is to put people in place to analyze these jobs who have not yet learned to lose.  Big Balls has yet to learn how to lose, much to his credit.  And we need in the world a lot more people like him.

The Bible Says Earth is Roughly 6000 Years Old: Understanding water displacment

I really like people like Mel Gibson and Ken Ham, one the famous actor, the other the creator of The Ark Encounter just south of Cincinnati.  However, both believe in the scriptural understanding of the earth’s history, that it is roughly 6000 years old.  I would argue that they aren’t wrong if you measure years differently than we do on Earth, but that is an entirely different discussion.  Regarding earth sciences, it says that life on Earth is billions of years old and is at apparent odds with scriptural timelines.  Within these kinds of debates, the truth gets concealed from people, which is partly on purpose and other parts unfortunate.  It’s challenging to put science into a belief system, just as it’s hard for people who build a belief system in science to alter a previous assumption because of their emotional investment.  I don’t hold it over Mel Gibson in any way; I can’t wait for his new movie on the Resurrection of Christ.  That will be a life-changing movement for all human history and change the world.  I believe God’s hand has pointed his life in the direction of making this movie the whole time.  So I can’t wait for it in 2026 or 2027 when they finally finish the movie which is a sequel to The Passion.  Because I love the Bible and have had a relationship with it all my life, it comes up a lot more now. How can you love the Bible and love science? The two are incompatible.  I hear all the time that Earth is only 6000 years old and that Charles Darwin was an absolute idiot.  I also hear a lot that we never landed on the moon.  But I think there is compelling evidence in both categories that will erase any doubt very soon, so people believe what they believe, and if it holds them together as people, that is the important thing.  But that doesn’t make everything a fact.  

Mel Gibson is a very smart person who is very passionate about many things, making him a great actor and creative director.  But he has lived a very rocky life, living hard and going through many women.  For a period in the 80s and 90s, he was the sexiest man alive by many considerations, and it was hard for him to maintain his sanity, I think, being a hand of God and having every woman in the world throwing themselves at his feet already undressed.  So, I don’t blame him at all for holding onto scripture like a disabled person holds on to the handrail while going down the steps.  But he recently said something on the Joe Rogan Podcast that was very interesting and part of the movement of trying to fit science into scripture, which is popular these days.  However, I argue differently because I see science trying to force understanding into the same problem, where new evidence is ignored to maintain a scientific narrative.  I’m just going to say it; everyone is going to be screwed up in a few years once we get out into space to discover that humans came from out there, not through Darwin’s evolution, and that many of the things we believe are going to be shattered with new evidence.  That doesn’t make scripture any less relevant or some scientific method.  It just means that discovery gives new evidence and that we must let that evidence tell the story.  Not to make the story fit our assumptions. 

I think these tunnels under the Temple Mount are older than when Abraham went there to sacrifice Isaac to God. And is why the politics of religions are designed to make real excavation impossible.

Anyway, Mel Gibson was telling Joe Rogan that he doesn’t believe the idea that the ocean levels weren’t lower during the Ice Age, as I have been saying, 400 feet lower.  Mel Gibson said that if you put ice in a glass of water when the ice melts, the water doesn’t displace itself over the rim of the glass.  The level of the water doesn’t change.  And from the point of view of mass and how we measure it, he’s got a point.  But he was missing that during the Ice Age, massive amounts of Earth’s water were tied up in glaciers, and those giant blocks of ice were coming down over both poles and were mostly over land.  The weight of the ice itself is what caused the Great Lakes in North America.  The weight was so great that it flattened the earth’s crust in that location, which is still rising back up to a circumference, pushing the water out and into the St. Lawrence Seaway and, ultimately, the Atlantic Ocean.  Another several thousand years, and the Great Lakes won’t even be there.  So because of this massive effect of glaciers displacing large amounts of water over the land masses, the world’s sea levels were 400 feet lower.  At that time, you could have walked from England to France without getting your feet wet, except for a few ancient rivers.  And the Persian Gulf was above water all the way down to Dubai.  Most of Florida extended well into the Bahamas, Cuba, and the Yucatan Peninsula.  If you have read the Book of Morman, there were old civilizations in North and South America that the Nephites and Lamanites interacted with when they migrated from Jerusalem around 600 B.C.  Even then, it looks like land mass was lost to the sea. 

I would further offer that if you look at the previous shorelines of water levels that were oceanfront during the Ice Age, we will discover a lot of ancient civilizations and that the assumption science has of linear technical development is ridiculous.  Rather, we are dealing with the Vico Cycle here, where human civilization has started and stopped throughout history.  And that history goes back millions of years.  Not just 10 thousand years.  And likely goes out into space.  I think there is compelling evidence that Jerusalem goes back to settlement with a cave system under Mt. Moriah and that the Temple Platform that King Solomon built his temple on, and the current Dome of the Rock was significant, perhaps even millions of years ago.  And many of the world’s religions have purposely been put at each other’s throats to conceal the truth, which we’ll likely figure out once we start colonizing Mars.  Much of what we know now about everything will change with new evidence, and we have to be willing to look at that evidence without losing the importance of our belief systems.  It can be tricky business, but it’s not impossible.  Everyone must understand that the bad guys out there purposely seek to pit people’s beliefs against each other to conceal or use the truth to their advantage.  So, because Mel Gibson doesn’t quite understand water displacement concepts and how they relate to ocean levels, that doesn’t mean that what he says in his movies, especially the upcoming Resurrection, is false.  It’s just perspective.  The art says what it says.  And that is the same whether we are talking about the Bible, the Book of Morman, or the Quran.  I find them all very fascinating, and there are certain truths there.  But there is a lot else that science is unpacking, and our scope will increase with new information.  We must have the guts to look at that information and not hide from it, which is the case with science and what we look at regarding previous ocean levels.  And what we will discover under the water, especially off the coast of Cuba, India, Japan, and the Persian Gulf.  It’s going to be a mind-bending few years of upcoming adventure.  And we will all be better off for it.
